Association Canadienne des Sciences Géomatiques(CIG)

Established in 1882, the Canadian Institute of Geomatics has advanced to be a non-benefit investigative and specialized affiliation and speaks to the biggest and most powerful geospatial information system in Canada. Geomatics, otherwise called geospatial science is the order of collecting, storing, preparing, and administer geographic data or spatially referenced data.  Geomatics includes  items, administrations and devices required in the gathering, combination and administration of geographic information . Alex Giannelia  is the president of CIG. More than half of its individuals are senior administrators and specialists in government, private segment, scholarly and NGO associations.

The objectives of Canadian Institute of geomatics are to advance the improvement of geomatics innovations and Sciences, to showcase and exhibit the utility of geomatics. Keep up a distribution to follow the history, advancement and advancement of    geomatics in Canada. Foster the expert improvement of its individuals. Energize coordinated effort between Canadian geomatics and advance among them the solidarity of objectives and exercises. Speak to and advance globally Canadian interests in geomatics. To give a gathering to proficient system for the trading of data, correspondences and distributions.

More than half of its individuals are senior administrators and specialists in government, private segment, scholarly and NGO associations. One of the GIS Certifications accessible to Canadians particularly is the Certified Geomatics Specialist accreditation accessible from the Canadian Institute of Geomatics (CIG). Accreditation is offered in 6 ranges: GIS/LIS, Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry, Geodesy, Cartography and Geomatics Management. At present, 17 Canadians are ensured in GIS/LIS, one in Remote Sensing, one in Photogrammetry, five in Geomatics Management and one in Geodesy. This type of confirmation gives acknowledgment among Canadian companions inside various zones of geomatics, can give professional success open doors through acknowledgment and systems administration inside CIG, looks awesome on a resume, consoles managers that they're procuring a skilled hopeful inside these fields, and urges geomatics experts to keep up an elevated expectation of accomplishment. The Journal of Geospatial Information Science, Technology and Practice (once in the past CISM Journal ACSGC), is the official quarterly production of the Canadian Institute of Geomatics. It is the most seasoned looking over and mapping distribution in Canada and was initially distributed in 1922 as the Journal of the Dominion Land Surveyors' Association. The Canadian Institute of Geomatics is the Canadian Not-revenue driven affiliation that speaks to the interests of all gatherings in the geomatics group and is the Canadian part to the International Federation of Surveying, the International Cartographic Association  and is a founding individual from GeoAlliance
