Why is it important?
The David Thompson National Geomatics Awards were created to honour the innovation, dedication and creativity of professional surveyors in Canada.
The program is presented by Professional Surveyors Canada and the Association of Canada Lands Surveyors to celebrate professional excellence in the field of geomatics. Named after David Thompson, an explorer and surveyor who almost single-handedly mapped Canada’s vast, unknown interior 200 years ago, these awards represent the pinnacle of work.
