How can Geo. Nova help us? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Access to base map layers Access to imagery Other thematic layers from line departments Collaborate on web development and data access Develop a Model for Governance and Business Sustainability (Partnerships)
How can we help Geo. Nova? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Creating awareness at the citizen and municipal levels Engagement of local private sector (i. e. BIC) Bring in new ideas e. g. CIU Develop methods for sharing geographic information Broaden technical expertise Thematic maps from Li. DAR, micro-climate network
Challenges 1. 2. 3. 4. Need to develop access policies “open government” Capacity building, especially in rural Nova Scotia Create collaborative spirit Rationale for CIU – – Focus on regional geography Focus on certain thematic layers Develop understanding Provide training
Challenges cont’d 5. Moving target: New tools available New programs e. g. ESRI Community Mapping Program New platforms “cloud computing” Changing view of government – – • e. g. CIO office, regional planning
Challenges cont’d • Retraining, retooling – – – Advanced diploma programs GIS professional certification Student Internships Faculty/Government/Industry exchange Technology Transfer
