Program Abstract
Responding to Change – The Evolving Boundaries of Practice

May 1, 2019

Cadastral systems and their management are undergoing significant change in Canada and around the world. The drivers of that change are many and powerful. They include the rapid advance of technology, an evolving public perception of expertise and a seemingly continual scrutinization of authoritative institutions including the traditional professions.

Internationally, the impact of these drivers of change has led to a strategic re-envisioning of the management and delivery of cadastral systems and the evolving role of government, professional bodies, and the geo-spatial industry. Within Canada, a diverse range of change initiatives are underway reflecting the regional nature of our property rights legislation, survey systems and registration systems. What appears to be lacking is a national collaborative effort that engages the entire community of professionals involved in delivering the cadastre in Canada in a discussion of how best to work together to ensure that our cadastral systems evolve to meet the challenge of change.

Résumé de programme
L’adaptation au changement – L’évolution des limites de la pratique

1er mai 2019

Les systèmes cadastraux et leur gestion subissent d’importants changements au Canada et dans le monde entier. Les moteurs de ce changement sont nombreux et puissants. Il y a notamment l’évolution rapide des technologies, une perception du savoir-faire qui a évolué et la surveillance apparemment continuelle des institutions ayant autorité, y compris les métiers traditionnels.

À l’échelle internationale, l’incidence de ces moteurs du changement a mené à une refonte stratégique de la gestion et de la fourniture de systèmes cadastraux et du rôle en évolution du gouvernement, des ordres professionnels et de l’industrie géospatiale. Au Canada, diverses initiatives de changement sont en cours, qui tiennent compte de la nature régionale de nos lois relatives au droit de propriété, des systèmes d’arpentage et des systèmes d’enregistrement. Ce qui semble faire défaut, c’est un effort national de collaboration où toute la communauté de professionnels qui participent à la fourniture du cadastre au Canada est mobilisée pour prendre part à un débat sur la façon de mieux collaborer pour veiller à ce que nos systèmes cadastraux évoluent et s’adaptent au changement.

Ottawa homeowners take each other to court over shared fence
The Star
Robert Frost wrote, in his 1914 poem Mending Wall: “Good fences make good neighbours.”
Justice Sally Gomery had her own take on the Frost poem when she began her decision in a court case last year by writing, “Good fences do not always make good neighbours.”
The litigation was launched by James English and Jill Perry, at 371 Third Ave. in Ottawa. David and Brenda Perras live next door at 373 Third Ave. The houses are just over 14 feet apart and what was once a shared driveway runs between them. Read more

How We Got from Stone to the Cloud - History of the National Cadastral Records
dm insights on location
There is archeological evidence that cadastral (property ownership) mapping came into being upon humans deciding to settle in one place and become food producers instead nomadic hunter gatherers, moving about for food. In Ancient Egypt, paintings in tombs depict registration of land to provide proof of ownership. The fundamental principles that applied to those ancient methods of maintaining public records about land, its use, and ownership still apply today. Read more
There's a New Surveyor in Fayetteville: It's a Specially-Outfitted Van
A white "specially-outfitted" van will be surveying Fayetteville streets
NWA
A white tricked-out van, with beacon lights on top, is cruising the streets of Fayetteville.
But, why?
According to the City of Fayetteville, the specialized van, known as a Laser Road Surface Tester (LRST), is measuring and performing an analysis of the city's street pavement roughness, rutting, cracking, and sidewalk conditions.
In addition, the LRST is also collecting right-of-way data using four digital video cameras mounted inside the van and Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) lasers. Read more

Property Boundaries
Lexology
Whether you want to establish the boundaries of your property to understand how much of the land is yours, or you are trying to work out which boundary is your responsibility and which is a neighbour’s responsibility, boundaries can often be unclear and tricky to decipher.

Below, we examine some of the more common questions we receive on this subject.

What are the boundaries of my property?

Whilst the majority of properties in England and Wales have a Land Registry title, the Land Registry title plans will only show “general boundaries”. Read more
