Partnerships

The Selkirk Geospatial Research Centre is a focal point for collaboration and coordination of innovative research in the Kootenays. The facility promotes professional interaction and communication among researchers and organizations resulting in more concerted and synergistic efforts.

Key to attaining these advantages, the technical infrastructure of the SGRC serves as bridging linking regional leaders in research, application development, and training. Partners gain access to the sophisticated technology necessary to develop new GIS-based applications for natural resource planning, environmental planning, social and economic development, and Internet mapping / distributed GIS.

The Centre’s technological infrastructure includes multiple servers, high capacity storage and leading edge software to allow easier distribution of information to partners, agencies and to the public comment infrastructure that is essential to attract technical industries and to stimulate economic growth in our region.
