The Province is releasing new LiDAR data that covers select parts of Cape Breton Island and Central Nova Scotia. This LiDAR data includes LAS point cloud data and various LiDAR derived products that are available free of charge and available with an unrestricted data licensing agreement.

Elevation Explorer allows users to easily select and download available tiles self serve on demand. We now have enhanced metadata fields for more specific dates and times for actual LAS tile collection based on client feedback.
