Just in time for the winter thaw, we are proud to announce the addition of  new orthophoto data for the city of Toronto. Our fleet of Cessna's were able to take several flights across the city during the Spring of 2016, capturing every detail of the city from a controlled and consistent elevation. Many changes can happen in just a short year throughout the city, if your organization depends on land usage and development, then having the most recent data is absolutely critical to maintaining your competitive advantage.

Spotlight on cinema The annual migration of celebrities and paparazzi is about to descend on downtown Toronto once again for TIFF 2015 . At First Base , we make pictures of a different kind, orthophoto , which give us an overhead perspective to produce highly accurate maps, but also let us gaze upon the intricate details of the city from an angle seldom seen by stars of the film variety.

Quick recap for those who’ve been living underground recently: York University, specifically, the Rexall Centre, or Canadian Tennis Centre as it’s also called, the intended site of the upcoming Pan American Games, is currently at the centre of international attention over a mysterious tunnel found in a wooded area nearby.  It’s not clear who constructed the tunnel or why, but this head scratcher continues to fascinate.  The clandestine tunnel was discovered on January 14th, 2015 and filled in by police a few weeks later.  Clearly, digging this tunnel took some time, but it’s not known when the construction on the tunnel occurred.
