On October 27th the CCA hosted an online event titled “Mapping in Indigenous Contexts” where we highlighted some contemporary Indigenous cartography, GIS, and remote sensing projects in Canada (Presentation recordings have been linked on this page).
We hope that this will be the first of many short presentation series where cartographers come together to discuss various mapping related topics.
The following document is the proposed revised Constitution and By-laws of the Canadian Cartographic Association as put forward by the current Executive Committee of the Association. It was based on the pre-existing Constitution of the CCA, which was established in 1976 and has been amended over the years. These proposed By-laws will be put forward in a resolution for adoption by vote at the upcoming 2020 Annual General Meeting in September.

The CAG Executive and University of Victoria Local Organizing Committee (LOC) unfortunately have decided to cancel the CAG Conference 2020, scheduled for May 25-28, 2020 in Victoria BC.
This event was planned to be a large public gathering in an indoor setting with international attendees. Gatherings of this nature run counter to evidence-based policies to reduce the transmission of the novel coronavirus, the virus that causes COVID-19.
If you have already registered, the registration fees you have paid will be refunded in full.
Last May at the University of Northern British Columbia close to 100 members of the CCA and Northern BC GIS users group came together for the 2019 CCA Conference. The organizing committee put together an excellent conference highlighting the work of cartographers and GIS professionals.
Attendees learned about different projects involving drone and LiDAR mapping, Indigenous Peoples, Canadian free geospatial data resources, creative mapping processes, intricate wood carved globes and much more. Overall there were 32 presentations, which have been made available to watch online with presentation abstracts here on the CCA website.
