About Us -The Mapping Centre's Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a service for collection, storage, and dissemination of environmental information through digital and hardcopy maps in order to guide local government, community members, developers, industry and environmental groups in better decision making for environmental use and stewardship.
We make maps of various types available in an array of media. We can produce hardcopy maps from 81/2" x 11" up to 3ft x 4ft and have the expertise to create interactive online maps and atlases.
Some of our recent training events include :
- Mapping and Inventory - TMC will apply its GPS/GIS experience and capabilities in the development of habitat inventory methodologies, databases and data dictionaries as needed. Our combined GPS/GIS capabilities facilitate accurate and clear presentation of spatial data.
- GPS - Our technicians are experienced and knowledgeable in applying GPS data collection to assessments of stream, wetland and shoreline habitats. Our staff hold certification in GPS field data collection as well as data processing and management.
- GIS - TMC will also provide GIS services. Field collected GPS data, PurView derived airphoto interpretations and other acquired data such as orthophotos, sensitive ecosystem information, and various watercourse datasets are integrated in a Geographic Information System (GIS) with other data to create specialized map products tailored to each of our client’s needs.
- Training - Our staff and contractors will continue to offer many training opportunities within the Comox Valley community and beyond.
