WMS News

 
York Region provides several OGC compliant   XML-based web services for accessing spatial data about York Region. In order to serve you better, we have upgraded our Web Map Services as listed on yrGeoWeb  .

The upgraded Web Map Services feature improved cartography and support the latest specification version 1.3.0, as well as the prior WMS version 1.1.1.
Please note that we will decommission the former Web Map Services on April 15, 2010.
Accordingly, we ask you that you start using the upgraded Web Map Services as soon as possible (see the replacement URLs listed below).
