Welcome to the May 22nd 2018 edition of the Canadian Spatial Times!
This month marks the end of our social season for most of the groups until we kick off in September with the 5th annual Back to School Socials. A first call for sponsors will go out next week. In other news, The Spatial Times will increase the frequency of our updates to a weekly publication as we have more news, events and jobs to share with the community as we continue to grow. If you have a job or article you want to share, please get in touch. Posting your jobs and advertising with GoGeomatics helps us sustain great content!
The Canadian Spatial Times is Canada's most comprehensive geospatial newsletter. If your group or company wants to get in front of this audience please contact us. A big thank you to our readers in Canada and around the world!
In Canadian location technology news we look at the collision of science and bureaucracy, use mapping to make cities more livable for seniors and newcomers, and see the next generation of GIS professionals face off in the Great Canadian Geography Challenge.
In international news: the Sentinel 3-B sends back its first payload, Deimos Imaging wins contracts while LocationSmart loses data, and Geospatial World interviews an ESRI manager on the future of Smart Cities.
