Fulfilling your vision of an
exceptional municipality
Leveraging MuniSight’s GIS technologies to the net
benefit of Municipal District stakeholders.
Planning & Development

To serve the growing needs of
constituents, business owners
and visitors alike across a
land area of more than ten
thousand square kilometers,
the MD relies heavily on
Geographical Information
Systems (GIS). By leveraging the
next-practices technologies and
implementation services of GIS
industry leader MuniSight, the
MD’s Geographics Program is
more feature-rich, versatile and
accessible than ever before.
The systems we have in place
help us deliver real value to all
segments of Lesser Slave River,
from staff to public users like
ratepayers, developers and
business operators.
By using MuniSight’s GIS
technologies, the MD has made
a number of time-consuming
manual processes more
efficient. A vast database of
information is now accessible
to staff in real time via a secure
online portal. All geospatial
assets — from roads, property
lines, water infrastructure and
agricultural data — are visible
in multiple digital layers overtop
of highly detailed maps. With
geospatial data, municipal
planners are now able to access
information to prepare zoning
and bylaw changes faster and
with far greater precision.
To access the public portion
of the MD ’s vast database
of geospatial data, checkout

The MD maintains a boat launch on Lesser Slave River, on the outskirts of the Town of Slave
Lake. There’s no charge to launch your boat and there’s ample parking for vehicles and trailers.
Launches are also located at Cross, Fawcett, Lawrence Lakes, Canyon Creek Harbour, and
at the Point Boat Launch near Slave Lake.
