Frontenac County proclaims GIS Day, November 20

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Day is November 20, during Geography Awareness Week, November 18 - 22.

GIS is a way to handle and display information through digital maps. Local governments use GIS to manage and update property information, keep track of assets, and to help plan and make important decisions. At Frontenac County, GIS is used to bring spatial solutions to staff and the public including interactive mapping, customized applications, printed cartographic products, analysis and maintenance of spatial data, and so much more.

How on earth would we know who we are if we don't know where we are?
