Mapathon for Humanity - GIS Day 2018

Map for Humanity on GIS Day 2018. On Wednesday, November 14, 2018 the GoGeomatics Peterborough Group will be hosting a 'Mapping for Humanity' HOT Mapathon from 5p - 9p in a Computer Lab at the Fleming College Sutherland Campus to educate the community about how GIS can be used to support humanitarian relief efforts and encourage community involvement.

People can park in the Visitor Lot which is close to the Main Lobby Entrance at Sutherland Campus. I will be in the Main Lobby to welcome people between 5p and 6p. The computer lab is not available until 6p. If you are attending and arrive after 6p then please proceed to B2131. There is a Security Booth near the entrance of the building so if you need help finding the classroom please ask them for directions. The event is come and go so if you decide to join us you can map for an hour or for the entire time. People can participate or observe.

We hope you can join us for this exciting opportunity!
