GIS-SIG Study Group of the CAG

The Goal Statement of the GIS-SIG Study Group

The GIS-SIG Study Group was formed around the interests in GIS, geomatics and related spatial technologies. Members are interested in the following:

Conducting GIScience and GIS applications research

Designing model curricula and educational tools with Canadian content

Advocating for spatial data that is free or at-the-cost-of-distribution

Designing innovative techniques for collecting and disseminating spatial data

Facilitating education in GIS, geomatics and related technologies

Fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between geographers and others interested in GIS

Dues for membership are $12/year. That money is spent for student awards, web site maintenance, and a get-together at the annual conference. This year, the money will be spent for web site creation.
