Data Integration and Mapping Optimization for J. R. Finnie O.L.S.

J. R. Finnie O.L.S., a company specializing in land surveying and mapping, seeks to enhance its operational efficiency by integrating existing data files with CAD files and mapping information. The current process involves disparate data sources that lead to inefficiencies and potential errors. The goal of this project is to streamline these processes by creating a unified system that consolidates data files, CAD files, and mapping information into a cohesive workflow. This integration will not only improve data accuracy but also reduce the time spent on manual data handling. The project will involve analyzing current data structures, identifying integration points, and developing a prototype system that demonstrates improved efficiency. By applying classroom knowledge of data management and CAD systems, learners will gain practical experience in solving real-world data integration challenges.

Economic History of Centreville Creek area, Caledon, Ontario

This will be a review of the economic history of the area, beginning in the the 1600's when fur-trading forts were created at the mouths of some of the rivers flowing into Lake Ontario. We are particularly interested in whether this creek, that flows into the Humber River, was ever used to transport furs, logs or other commercial goods from one place to another. This is important, for if the stream were used for commercial or public transport, it might be determined to be navigable. Although the lands we are particularly interested in were not surveyed and patented until the early 1800's, use before and after this will help to determine its navigability. If navigable in law, then the ownership of the bed of the stream would have remained in the Crown and not been transferred to private ownership. Answering this question will help us to determine whether there is a natural severance of one property into two pieces.
