Hello everyone,
Our first meeting of the season is Wednesday, the 12th. Chen-Ting Wang of the
City of New Westminster will be talking about the City's use of Collector for
ArcGIS .
Contrary to what the web page says, the meeting will be in the GSC Boardroom.
(Apologies for the confusion; we have someone kindly filling in while our long
time web administrator is away.)
This season we are again fortunate to be guests in the offices of the
Geological Survey of Canada at 605 Robson Street in Vancouver, in their 15th
floor boardroom. There is a link on the web site to Google Maps. Remember
that the talks will begin at 5:30. The lobby doors and the elevators are
locked at 6:00. Please try and be in before then. When you arrive on the
15th floor you will see a sign directing you to the boardroom in the SW corner
of the building.
We are still seeking people to speak this Fall. If you have topics you would
like to explore, speakers you would like to hear from or, if you would like to
present yourself, you can reach me through the email address on the web site.
For those of you looking for work, LandSure System is advertising for a Parcel
Fabric Technician (Temporary)

I hope many of you can make it out Wednesday.
Regards,
Doug Hrynyk
Steering Committee Coordinator

Topic: New Westminster's experience setting up and using Collector for ArcGIS
Speaker: Chen-Ting Wang, City of New Westminster
One of the City of New Westminster GIS section's objectives is to provide staff
with a convenient way to accurately capture data and easily use the data in
their daily routine. Early 2016, with the collaboration of Engineering
Operations and GIS group, staff began using Collector for ArcGIS on some data
collecting tasks. This presentation will focus on sharing City's experience
setting up and using collector in a couple of scenarios. It will also explain
how using both collector and web maps have helped improve data accuracy,
increase productivity and even play a role in public safety.
Bio: Chen-Ting Wang has been part of City's GIS team since 2007. She works
closely with Engineering department, including updating data, creating maps and
providing info/drawings to both external and internal clients. She also set up
user specific online maps, such as Building Editor for Planning Division and
Cemetery Viewer for Engineering Operations.
