The District of Squamish is proud to announce the launch of the Squamish GIS (geographic information system) Map Viewer to the public. The web based program is a powerful visual information tool providing a window into the District's geographic information system. This system allows the public to see and share mapping and related information for business, personal or recreational use.
The Squamish GIS Map Viewer was built using the latest innovative technology. It provides access to a variety of property and utility information, along with interactive map tools and reporting features.
"The GIS Mapping system has become a regular part of government services and the District is able to leverage the latest technology to provide the highest level of service," said Mayor Greg Gardner. "It allows the District greater collaboration with the community and increases informed public participation. It is also an important tool for managing infrastructure and delivering service in an efficient way," continued Gardner.
