Implementation of a support tool for land resource planning and management
Using the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure, this project will involve the development of a resource planning and management support tool. The tool will include single-window access to all thematic data for the lands (static data), a real-time updating process (dynamic data) for disseminating key indicators for the lands (e.g., water quality, forest fires, mining and forestry operations) and a process for integrating traditional Algonquin knowledge with current scientific knowledge in order to classify various habitats (vegetation and wildlife). Participation by the Regional County Municipality of Témiscamingue and a private geomatics firm with more than 20 years of experience in land management (in close collaboration with the two Algonquin communities) should ensure the long-term success of the project. Finally, implementation of a broadband Internet network in Témiscamingue will produce a certain stability with respect to regional infrastructures.
