Ecopia’s ability to create unique detailed, accurate mapping layers at scale and with speed is key. The data is a fundamental and innovative step in the fight against climate change, flooding, threatened public access to natural resources, habitat loss, storm preparedness and recovery, and vulnerable infrastructure and populations.

More precise geospatial data will help us plan and build the telecommunications infrastructure required to address this connectivity gap. Ecopia’s innovative approach to analyzing geospatial data is helping us better understand the precise location of Canadian households and exactly what will be needed to meet our goal of connecting 98% of Canadians by 2026, and all Canadians by 2030.

Our partnership with Ecopia has enabled us to develop more granular data and empower coastal communities with the information they need to build resilience to increasing climate risks. High-resolution land cover data is an integral part of understanding the relationship between the population and our planet, and provides an essential foundation to a wide range of geospatial analytics for climate resilience, sustainability, and other key initiatives.
