Synopsis

This book provides historical documents, speeches, and correspondence regarding efforts to establish a comprehensive national geodetic survey in Canada. Beginning with a proposal in 1886 and following through to 1909, the book provides critical context for discussions regarding the importance of a national survey to Canada's development, including its value to public works project planning, natural resource management, and border definition. While Canada's vast size and relatively small population present challenges to such an endeavour, the author demonstrates the importance of the project and explores the different approaches that could be used to successfully implement it.
