Future Opportunities for Partnerships Partnerships provide a cost effective method of obtaining current and accurate high resolution data Imagery updates – who? when? Highly developed municipalities currently on a three year update cycle Rural municipalities looking at 5 year update intervals Need to work with others to identify and communicate projects Need to consider products – leaf on/off, DEM, resolution, licencing etc. Partnerships provide a cost effective method of obtaining current and accurate high resolution data Imagery updates – who? when?
