Abstract
GIS Day, a traditional drop-in and interactive event to promote and celebrate geospatial technology, is recognized by most if not all OCUL institutions. This year, the event went digital, thanks to Western University Library and several OCUL institututions, organizations, and over 30 volunteers, and 47 presenters. This article summarizes the planning, delivery and execution of this event.

Summary
GIS day events have been taking place around the world since 1999. As a GIS professional Liz has been participating in GIS Day planning for the past 8 years. Because of this goal, we wanted to encourage collaboration across Ontario and extend the invitation to join the planning group to members of the OCUL geo-community, bringing together our normally disparate GIS Day events into one, online, virtual conference. We wanted to encourage collaboration across Ontario and extend the invitation to join the planning group to members of the OCUL geo-community, bringing together our normally disparate GIS Day events into one, online, virtual conference In this initial call, GIS Day(s) began to take shape, with over 30 volunteers from 8 institutions, and 47 presenters from 23 companies and institutions. In ArcGIS, Circuitscape and R, we use genetic fingerprinting and a suite of landscape variables to model the importance of sea ice, land cover, and topography to caribou geneflow These results will permit species-specific mapping of habitat connectivity for this iconic Arctic species. As human interests advance north, the implications for conservation are profound
