Geomatics Association of Nova Scotia

The Geomatics Association of Nova Scotia, also known as GANS, was incorporated in 1990 as a non-profit association[1] with the mission to promote the further development of the Nova Scotia geomatics industry, making it competitive both domestically and internationally, and increasing its material contribution to the provincial economy.

We are an organization whose sole purpose is to promote the science and application of geomatics ('mapping') in Nova Scotia.

"[2] GANS was one of the founding members of Canadian GeoAlliance, an umbrella organization created to address sector-wide strategic priorities in the geomatics sector.

An example of this was attracting students and young professionals to the Association; therefore an attempt was made to ensure to design a brand that is youthful, fresh, compelling, and easily understood.
