2016 Esri Special Achievement in GIS Award goes to Government of Yukon

Congratulations to Government of Yukon for receiving the 2016 Esri Special Achievement in GIS (SAG) Award.
The Geomatics Yukon, a group formed by the Government of Yukon manages the territory’s geospatial data and applications. With their enterprise ArcGIS implementation, Geomatics Yukon provide access to nearly 300 internal datasets including land ownership and legal surveys . They also manage a wealth of valuable data that is accessible to the public through Targeted web apps like GeoYukon, Yukon Mining Map Viewer and Yukon Lands Viewer . The government had 30 internal GIS users in 2006 as compared to 450 users in 2015. The number of visits to their interactive web applications increases from 18,000 sessions in 2006 to 150,000 in 2015.

“The Yukon government’s success is a great example of what’s possible when everyone is pulling in the same direction,” “Their geomatics team may be small, but they’re impressive. Not only have they created an environment where GIS use by both internal and external stakeholders is pervasive, they’ve also transformed their operations and increased collaboration within and beyond government.” says Alex Miller, president, Esri Canada.
