CivicSpatial is an ICIS initiative open to all Local Government and First Nations ICIS members in BC and is designed to support the following objectives:
• Improve the accuracy of local government cadastral and address data;
• Improve data currency through frequent automated updates;
• Improve completeness with the inclusion of Crown parcels;
• Provide value to local governments participating in ICIS;
• Provide a comprehensive and current cadastral fabric to all ICIS members.
Examples of projects that will be considered for funding include:
o Commitment of regular submission of data
o Adopt ICF by moving infrastructure data to new base
o Establish new survey control
o Resolve local government boundaries
o Other projects that meet the program objectives
The general funding allocation is:
• $1,500 per local government for frequent submission of data in ICIS standard format and as changes occur.
• Special project funding assessed on a per-project basis but generally $1.50 to $1.75 per improved parcel.
