MEDICINE HAT, AB – The City of Medicine Hat uses Geographic Information System mapping on a daily basis, for everything from dispatch first responders to utility distribution.

The city’s Nigel Forster says that when people think of GIS they think of mapping. But it’s so much more, says the spokesperson for GIS Day, which takes place on Wednesday.

Forster joined Dan Reynish on CHAT News at Noon to discuss how the city uses the data for planning, the difference between GIS and GPS and the purpose of GIS Day.
