ICIS is pleased to provide support to the Sandwick Waterworks District through the CivicSpatial Grant Program for their accuracy project. 

Sandwick Waterworks District serves 600 homeowners, 50 businesses, and 1 school and has been a member of ICIS since 2007.  CivicSpatial funds of $1,500 will help augment Sandwick's investment to increase the accuracy and completeness of their infrastructure data by adopting GIS digital formats for their paper-based and legacy data.  This project will allow Sandwick to manage and assess their infrastructure data more effectively.  As well, ICIS members will have increased access to regular and frequent updates to this data to help meet their business requirements. 

All Local Government members of ICIS are eligible for CivicSpatial Grant funding.  For more information on the types of projects currently supported by the program, please visit the ICIS website under CivicSpatial Grant Program.

ICIS is a non-profit society created to collaboratively share and integrate spatial data for the economic and social benefit of British Columbia.
