We’re a few weeks into the flying season! We’ve been in the air, in the field, and planning what’s next.

Chris Alvarez created this incredible artwork to welcome everyone to the office, showcasing the range of creativity in our technical field. It captures the feeling of this season: open skies, open opportunities, and the start of another busy year.

Each landscape tells a story, with snow-capped peaks, meandering waterways, and the day's final light all showing patterns, elevation, and interconnection.

At our core, GIS is about seeing the bigger picture; transforming views like this into data that supports smarter on-the-ground decisions.

Layers of history unveiled from above. Our LiDAR data captures The Confluence in remarkable detail, mapping the land where Calgary started with accuracy that connects the past and future.

Did You Know?

On Earth Day, we’re reminded that understanding our world is the first step towards protecting it.

At the intersection of technology and the environment, GIS helps turn data into insights that support smarter decisions for sustainable development, responsible resource management, and resilient communities. From mapping ecosystems to monitoring change over time, we’re proud to contribute to a clearer picture of our planet, dataset by dataset.

Above the clouds, where perspective changes and the view never gets old!

Captured from above, LiDAR of Inglewood Bird Sanctuary offers a different perspective on this urban refuge.

Spotted from above, a moose caught mid-stride. Fun fact: The Canadian moose is the largest member of the deer family, with full-grown males reaching over 6 feet at the shoulder! Moose are massive, but do you think they’re easier or harder to spot from above? 🫎
