What is a Geographic Information System (GIS)?

  • Developed and refined enumerator walk maps to avoid duplication and
         ensure all dwellings are captured within each Enumeration District (ED);
  • Well-defined census area boundaries allowed seamless integration of
         census database with GIS database;

         indicators – reporting in maps, charts, tables, etc.
