At the Fraser Valley Regional District, mapping is synonymous with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS is used to question, understand, and view what features are in relation to where they are. GIS plays an important role at the Regional District; it is utilized by all Regional District departments as well as by a variety of local and provincial government agencies, private sector groups, and members of the public.
