The collected cultural data has been successfully transfered to all four participating municipalities. The collected data has been incorporated into the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping software that is utilized by each municipality. Municipalities use GIS as a system used to store, map and analyze geographic data.
The cultural data will now be integrated into each municipality’s GIS systems which will allow the municipality to create static (paper) maps, interactive maps, or analyze the data for specific planning purposes including the analysis of cultural information vis-a-vis other planning issues such as demographic data, zoning issues, community facilities and services, etc. The data has also been shared with the County of Simcoe for use in their mapping projects and tourism promotions.
