A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts.

Town of Banff GIS (Geographic Information System) creates and maintains well over 200 different layers of geographic information and we are excited to make many of these data layers available to the public through our banffmaps.ca site.
