Geomapping Project

March 2024 - Vital Signs is collaborating with Fleming College in the development of a geoportal (geographic mapping system). GIS (geographic information systems) link data with maps/locations, providing a more holistic perspective of what and where. GIS can aid in better decision-making and the strategic allocation of resources to areas where they'll have the most impact.
