Underhill Receives Prestigious David Thompson Award

Underhill is honoured to have received the 2017 David Thompson National Geomatics Award in the category of “Innovation in Cadastral Surveying” and to have been the runner-up in the category of “Innovative Non-legal Survey”. According to the David Thompson awards website:

“The David Thompson National Geomatics Awards were created to honour the innovation, dedication and creativity of professional surveyors in Canada.

The program is presented by Professional Surveyors Canada and the Association of Canada Lands Surveyors to celebrate professional excellence in the field of geomatics. Named after David Thompson, an explorer and surveyor who almost single-handedly mapped Canada’s vast, unknown interior 200 years ago, these awards represent the pinnacle of work.”

The awards are given out each year at the National Surveyors Conference.
