Which maps and apps made it to the 2018 Esri Canada Calendar & Apps of the Month?
The word is out! Earlier this year, we conducted a contest for all organizations from various industries across the country to submit their maps and apps for our Calendar and Apps of the Month. Find out which maps and apps made the cut.
Geographic information systems (GIS) help us connect, visualize and interpret data to further understand patterns and trends of the world around us. Results of our GIS analysis can be shown through many outputs including maps and web apps. This year, we conducted a contest for organizations from across the country to submit their maps and apps for our Calendar and Apps of the Month. The selected maps and apps illustrate how ArcGIS users across Canada are doing exceptional work that improve our environment, economy and society through mapping and analytics.
Our 2018 print calendar will feature 13 maps, and 13 apps will be showcased as our Apps of the Month on our blog and website home page throughout the year.
Here’s a sneak peek at the selections. Explore each map or app by selecting the links below.
