Geographic Information Systems Day HistoryGIS Day is a worldwide celebration designed to raise awareness about the importance of geographic information systems (GIS) technology and its diverse applications. This annual observance provides an opportunity for industries, educational institutions, and governments to showcase how GIS is an essential tool for problem-solving, decision-making, and communication. By promoting the significance of geospatial intelligence, GIS Day fosters a sense of togetherness among GIS enthusiasts and contributes to developing an informed, GIS-literate society. In 1999, GIS Day was initiated by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri) and has since been celebrated annually across the globe, including in Canada. Canadians utilize GIS technology from coast to coast in several sectors, such as natural resource management, public health, urban planning, and environmental conservation. With such diverse applications, GIS Day highlights the critical role of geospatial intelligence in the daily lives of Canadians and underscores the country's growing demand for skilled geomatics professionals. In Canada, GIS Day is observed through various events, workshops, and educational activities organized by institutions, organizations, and communities nationwide. These activities serve to engage the public in learning more about GIS and understanding the technology's value in addressing both local and global challenges. Collaborative initiatives between organizations, such as GeoAlliance Canada and the Canadian Geographic Education, work to provide resources for GIS education and professional development. Generally, GIS Day occurs on the third Wednesday of November each year, firmly establishing its place as a not-to-be-missed event for geospatial enthusiasts in Canada and around the world.
