Derek, that chronology needs to be updated as soon as possible. As it stands, one would think that Canadian surveying came to an end with the acquisition of the first GPS receivers in 1995. There must be something that happened after that. What about "the first policy of land title insurance was sold?" :>
Derek,
Thanks for the post. Very interesting.
BTW...the cooler weather theme....anyway to send it south. I can provide coordinates if necessary:)

I beg your indulgence kind Sir, 't'wasn't I who created the misconception that Title Insurance replaces cadastral surveying, as I belive TI had its origins in the bowels of USA real property conveyancing.
YOS would like confirmation that this origin is why TI generally is known in land sureveying parlance as "a crock of *hit".
Here's another piece of 'surveying' info:

Perchance is this young lady practicing in this area where one of our 'bar pounder' types has covered up a 10' error opposite his office with a piece of 'cosmetic' plan drawing ? :pissed:
From the link:
>Cherry Hill, New Jersey (July 10, 2010) – As a board-certified facial cosmetic surgeon and a South Jersey "Top Doc" in Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Susan Hughes (www.drnewyou.com) makes safety a top priority. But it's not just for her own face lift patients in New Jersey; Dr. Hughes also promotes safe health care through her position as a surveyor for the Accreditation Association of Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
>"I'm proud of my position as an AAAHC surveyor, because I believe it reflects my commitment to safety within my own practice and because I think the organization plays a great role in furthering patient safety," says Dr. Hughes. "There are so many factors that contribute to the success of cosmetic surgery– such as choice of procedure, surgeon skill, and proper recovery – but safety is definitely among most important."
Hmmm. A plastic surgeon describing herself as a "surveyor"? Who knows how many other physicians may be wanting to add "surveyor" to their job description? :>
