Municipal Information and Utility Infrastructure Management
United Counties of Prescott and Russell
Networking the UCPR Geographic Information System
The United Counties of Prescott and Russell (UCPR) is located in Eastern Ontario and is the upper tier of a two-tier municipal government which includes the local municipalities of the City of Clarence-Rockland, the Town of Hawkesbury, the Village of Casselman and the Townships of Alfred and Plantagenet, Champlain, East Hawkesbury, Nation and Russell. The UCPR comprises an area of 2,002 km2 and has a population of 80,184 with 31,310 private dwellings (2006 census) .
From 2000 to 2001, Hunter GIS implemented web-based solutions for Tax Parcel Management, Resource Mapping and Development Tracking. This project received an Industry Canada Success Story Award. The primary goal of this project was to establish a multi-tiered network accessible to local municipalities, schools and the public for access to Planning and Economic Development spatial and attribute database information in a timely, flexible and efficient manner. Hunter GIS configured, loaded and enabled the United Counties server and data at its Mississauga office and provided Extranet access to key United Counties employees, stakeholders and lower tier municipalities to permit evaluation of remote network access of data sets and solutions. Hunter subsequently integrated the GIS server into the United Counties Information Technology Network (Jan 2002). Solutions operated without further support from Hunter GIS until 2005.
The customer reported that “the work performed by Hunter GIS has been of the highest quality and certainly beyond our expectations given the scope of the project”.
