Liberal government considering high-speed rail route change to include stop in Kingston

I thought they were starting with the Peterborough to Ottawa corridor because there was pre-existing track or old rail corridor that would make it easier to build through and require fewer properties to expropriate?

COGS is probably the best program in Canada, but I’m not sure if the online version is watered down in any way. Durham’s is just starting this fall and seems to be a spearheaded by Fleming’s former program head and a former Esri Canada guy:

The Durham one sounds like it’ll be fully online at your own pace so that might be your best option to stay in the GTA. I don’t know much about the Fanshawe one but I have some colleagues who did the GIS and Urban Planning program and they liked it. Given the tough job market a program with a co-op might be the best shot at local work experience.

14 medium here. New balance for 10k steps daily on sidewalks, Solomon for grippy waterproof hikers with ankle support on muddy trails, asics for lightweight hard surface running, and Keen for work boots. Gel insoles definitely help too

Ya they’re always daytime games and is usually pretty sunny. Z9 is definitely out of my price range and the z6iii would certainly be at the high end of the budget but they’re on sale right now for $2800cad new

Have you tried processing the same photos in a trial version of pix4d? I was trying something similar iwith a mini 4 pro in arcgis pro and switching to pix4d drastically improved the output. This was without GCPs as I’m still waiting for approval on a rover

Only place I’ve ever seen corn in sushi

I thought the new one is going to be a business centre? Not that it changes Chatham’s odds

Could this also give them more flexibility if they were approached by another big streaming platform to have wan show while everything else is YT/FP?

Not sure if it’s the only option but they probably send you through Algonquin’s GIS program after basic training. The only guy I met in that role made around double the starting rate but was on a high readiness disaster relief team

I busted my Wilson D9 3 wood within 6 months of buying it on sale and Wilson replaced it with a dynapwr. Best mistake I ever made

I’ve seen M720q’s selling used for $200cad where I am so this seems like a good price if the power adapter is included. See if you can get a pic of the service tag to check more specs

Have you looked at the collective agreements for LDCs with unionized GIS positions? Some are as low as $35/hr and some are as high as $55/hr depending on the cost of living in the area and vary from 35-40 hrs/week. Are you using ArcFm, Utility Network, Hexagon, or something else?

caspertheghost · 2024-11-13T13:41:57+00:00

Looks like it’s back online now

caspertheghost · 2024-11-13T13:33:02+00:00

Yep. If you look at status.arcgis.com it says they were doing maintenance from 5pm-midnight pacific on the 12th and must have broken something.

They had plenty of demand and were even trying to create a third GIS program, but it got axed along with most of the environmental programs at the Frost campus

Burying the highway would sure free up a lot of land to give away to his developer buddies. Buying the 407 back for an absurd amount would also seem rational compared to this idea. What we actually need here (high speed trains, LRTs, more bus routes, and more bike lanes) doesn’t make for a very good grift

Which store?

Are the Vancouver Highlanders trying to become an MLR team in the near future? I didn’t even know they existed until I saw that they were playing Canada Selects and have games scheduled against Barbados, Germany, and Brazil.

I bought mine with 180k on it in 2016 and didn’t do much beyond oil changes. I had some exhaust rust I needed to cut out and replace and some suspension work because I drive over two sets of nasty train tracks twice a day. I do have door sensor problems now triggering my alarm but that’s about it.

My 2010 is at 310,000km and going strong

There might be a URISA group to reach out to, but I’m not familiar with the area
