This oblique aerial imagery covers the shoreline of southeastern Georgian Bay, from approximately Port Severn to a point a few kilometres west of the Simcoe/Grey County line.
Taiga Air Services Ltd. acquired the data from November 16 to December 2, 2014. To collect the data, they flew a helicopter 160 metres from shore and 100 metres above the water.
Overlapping oblique images are available in the following formats:
- TIFF (120 MB)
- JPG (3.5 MB)
- photo centre point shapefile, which you can use to link to the images from GIS software
Imagery is available as one packaged product for the Georgian Bay shoreline. To order the data, follow our ordering instructions, which involve mailing an external hard drive to Land Information Ontario.
Imagery will be used to investigate the potential of using oblique imagery to complement existing ortho imagery. This will:
- help improve interpretation of shoreline features
- updating shoreline mapping
The imagery also provides a snapshot in time, capturing the current condition of the southeastern Georgian Bay shoreline.
The following partners were involved with the project:
- Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry
- Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change
- Environment Canada
- Severn Sound Environmental Association
- Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority
