What is GIS and how is it shaping the City of Sault Ste. Marie? Geographic Information Systems is technology that lets us visualize and analyze data based on location. For a City like Sault Ste. Marie, GIS is more than just maps; it’s a toolkit for making smarter, data-driven decisions that impact everything from urban planning and environmental conservation. Kiera Shan, GIS Asset Management Coordinator, explores GIS Day on the podcast and provides some real-life examples of how GIS is making our City a safer, more sustainable and more connected place.
