The Geospatial Reference Unit (GSR) defines and manages the spatial coordinate system in the province to support geographic positioning activities according to established standards and professional practices.
The Geospatial Reference Framework consists of two main components - a physical monumented system (MASCOT) and a satellite positioning reference system (BCACS). Both systems provide compatible universal coordinates.
The Geospatial Reference Unit mandate is delivered through three working groups:
- Active Control System Group
- Geodetic Reference System Group
- Geodetic Database Management Group
