GIS Data
Spatial and Numeric Data Services collects and provides access to spatial (GIS) data files.
We keep track of the many open data websites and portals, and we will search for files that we don't have in our collection.
Data files are available at our TFDL 4th floor location. Many files can be downloaded from our data catalogue.
Please contact SANDS with suggestions or comments: maps@ucalgary.ca
