The Federal Geospatial Platform (FGP) is an internal to federal government website where a collection of the government’s most relevant data can be found easily and viewed on maps to support evidence-based decision making and foster innovation.
The FGP allows for the integration of economic, social, and environmental geospatial data from multiple departments and agencies to better support location-based decision making on a range of complex issues. The FGP plays an important role in supporting Open Government by ensuring geospatial data and applications are made available coherently to Open Maps on the Open Government Portal.
Federal employees can visit the platform at gcgeo.gc.ca (government network).
