Emphasizing the importance of responsible acceleration and the protection of Canadian privacy
Digital transformation of the Canadian-built environment has the potential to improve infrastructure efficiency, create new economic opportunities, and provide more equitable access to services, resources and value-added jobs.
However, it is equally important to ensure that the acceleration of digital transformation is done responsibly, with the protection of Canadians at the forefront.

The digitalization of Canadian municipalities and BIM research
As governments work towards digital transformation, it is essential to identify current challenges and meet the needs of citizens and businesses. It is equally important to ensure that the acceleration of digital transformation is done responsibly, with the protection of Canadians' identities at the forefront.
“Our industry needs a unified voice to advocate for the adoption and implementation of open data standards and BIM across the country, buildingSMART Canada is well positioned to be that voice for all levels of industry and government. We need key stakeholders from both public and private sectors to address these challenges and advance the integration of digital signatures and GIS systems to BIM. It is the future of our industry."
"Our priority is to bring together people involved in the digital transformation of the country to protect the public and prevent gaps from widening between the industry, research centres, and various governments. Coordinated and aligned action with international trends can help position the country at the forefront of digital advancements. This can result in significant benefits, as well as improving the quality of life for citizens."
"We need to make our infrastructure more resilient and use our resources intelligently. Using BIM innovation can greatly assist us, but we must create secure and efficient ecosystems capable of ensuring professional reliability and archiving of public-use documents such as digital twins."
