Canada Basemap Series

Canada Center for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO)'s basemap is essential in supporting the Government of Canada’s priorities in areas such as open government, climate change mitigation, Indigenous reconciliation, emergency management, disaster preparedness and response, sustainable natural resource management, infrastructure planning, economy/labour and more. It reinforces CCMEO’s commitment to improving the accessibility, interoperability and integration of geospatial data across Canada.
