The Corporation of the District of Saanich, Vancouver Island, Canada, held an open house at their municipal hall for GIS Day. The goal was to educate municipal staff about GIS and explain how it is being used throughout the corporation. GIS staff were on hand throughout the day to talk with people about the value of GIS and to explain the different ways that it supports the community. Posters and presentations were shown and demonstrations of Saanich's web mapping service were given. People were given the opportunity to ask questions and sign up for GIS training.
This celebration of GIS Day at Saanich was the municipality's first, and it proved very successful with much interest and positive feedback received! See photos.
