The County of Lambton’s Geographic Information System (GIS) received national exposure, with one of its mapping applications featured as the month of September in Esri Canada’s 2013 calendar.

Esri Canada provides enterprise GIS solutions that empower governments, businesses and educational institutions to make timely, informed and mission-critical decisions by leveraging the power of geography.  The company produces an annual calendar that showcases its customers’ outstanding GIS work.
