AIMS Games on the map

For the third year, our Tauranga office is supporting the New Zealand Community Trust’s AIMS Games International Sporting Championships by providing GIS services to upgrade the sports venue and venue location maps.

The Tauranga based event has grown from a small sports festival to what is now considered the international championship for intermediate and middle school children. In September, 7,350 competitors representing 224 schools will compete in 17 sporting codes at 15 venues across Tauranga.

Tournament Director, Vicki Semple, said AIMS GAMES trustees and code coordinators were impressed with the professional and modernised new look of the maps, produced by GIS specialist John Watt.

“The maps are a lot more user friendly, which is particularly important this year with the huge increase of registrations.”
