Home of the most extreme tides in the world, the Cliffs of Fundy UNESCO Global Geopark in Nova Scotia Canada is an extraordinary landscape that tells a story of continents colliding and ripping apart; of prehistoric creatures and dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth; of indigenous legends that inspire the imagination; and of a people that continue to adapt to the ever-changing tide and world around them.
Challenge
Locatify was tasked with creating an easy to use app to help show the connections between geology, local communities, culture, and nature (including dozens of geo-sites ranging from unique landforms and cliffside beaches to waterfalls and hiking trails).
Solution
The app uses a white-label template app and the Locatify Creator CMS to enable maps, points of interest, GPS tour guides, and tide information.
Testimonial

– Don Fletcher, President, Cliffs of Fundy Geopark
