Sub-program 3.2.1

Essential Geographic Information

Description

Many socio-economic and environmental decisions, such as land-use, elections planning, emergency preparedness and response, transportation and real estate, would generate inconsistency, disputes or turmoil without authoritative geographic information. This Sub-program delivers Canada's fundamental geodetic reference system, remote sensing technologies and authoritative mapping, Earth observation and other location-based products and solutions. NRCan’s policies, infrastructure and products support a variety of socio-economic and environmental decisions carried out by other departments and levels of government, the private sector and academia as well as the public necessary for effective management of Canada’s natural resources and lands.
