The CRP recognizes that GIS - the collection and dissemination of digital spatial information, mapping and spatial analysis - is fundamental in the implementation of the Calgary Metropolitan Plan (CMP). The development and utilization of GIS capacity has been identified within the CMP and the CRP's strategic action plan as one of three priority and "catalyst" project areas for strategically initiating and integrating regional servicing delivery, infrastructure systems and land use planning.
The short term deliverables for the Regional GIS (RGIS) project are to develop a substantive GIS Strategic Plan to direct the CRP in enhancing and implementing a regional GIS program and to develop a detailed Implementation Framework to deliver the GIS Strategic Plan.
Over the past four years, CRP and its member municipalities have focused their efforts to create a number of significant deliverables including the CRP Regional Spatial Data Framework (RSDF) - a searchable spatial data catalog that allows members to efficiently identify and share data from CRP partners and other sources. We invite you to take a look at the beginnings of the RSDF by clicking on the following link:
The volume of data in the framework is constantly increasing as members gain appreciation for the utility of this took. Check back regularly for new data!
