Theme

Responding to Northern and remote communities 

Limited infrastructure in Northern and remote communities can result in limited access to tools and information that are foundational for decision making.  This applies to decisions on land use planning, emergency planning and response, environmental monitoring and general situational awareness.  This year’s theme aims to discuss these limitations and in response, highlight opportunities and innovations to advance geospatial data infrastructures and support Northern and remote communities.
