Municipal and local government

360 photo virtual tours for Canadian municipalities and local government.

A municipal 360 photo virtual tour is a navigable, accessible, hosted record of the facilities a city runs, captured to a procurement and accessibility standard. Recreation centres, council chambers, libraries, and civic buildings, in one asset that recreation, the clerk's office, and capital planning each reuse. Explore a real municipal tour live, then scope yours from $7,000.

What we document

The buildings a city runs, documented in 360.

Municipal demand is facility-led, so one consistent capture serves the whole organization. Recreation, the clerk's office, communications, and capital planning each reuse the same navigable, accessible asset instead of commissioning their own.

Recreation centres and arenas

The anchor use case. Let residents preview pools, ice pads, gyms, and rentable rooms before they book, to drive rentals, registrations, and memberships.

Council chambers

A navigable, captioned record of the seat of local government for transparency, heritage, and accessible public engagement.

Civic buildings and city halls

City and town halls, service counters, and civic facilities documented for the public and for as-built operational records.

Parks and outdoor facilities

Trails, fields, venues, and destination spaces captured to promote the community to residents, businesses, and visitors.

Accessibility and wayfinding

Pre-visit access information and navigable orientation for public-facing buildings, built to WCAG 2.1 AA, aligned to the AODA obligation Ontario municipalities already carry.

Asset and as-built documentation

A dated, navigable 360 record of a facility and its assets for operations, insurance, renewal scoping, and capital budgeting.

Economic development and tourism

Showcase venues, downtown, and community spaces to attract residents, investment, and visitors, often grant or marketing funded.

An established practice

Canadian cities already do this. Own it, do not rent it.

The municipal facility tour is a proven, fundable practice in Canada, not a category a city has to invent. The City of Brampton publishes 360 photo tours of its indoor recreation spaces tied to bookings and rentals, the City of Edmonton publishes virtual tours across a large facility roster including the ACT, Clareview, Mill Woods, and Commonwealth, and Kingston's Historic City Hall, including the Council Chamber, is explorable virtually. The question is no longer whether to have one, but who captures it and who owns it.

A one-off photo gallery is a static set you cannot walk, a single video clip is a fixed path no resident can steer, and a cloud 3D scan is usually a US-hosted subscription you keep renting. We deliver the opposite: our crew captures professional 360 photography on site, and the city receives an accessible, hosted tour it owns, with Canadian data residency and a data-residency option for sensitive facilities.

We can complement the gallery or video a department already posts, or replace it, scoped to your stack. Either way, the imagery and the tour are yours.

Who we build for

Four people at city hall, four reasons to call.

Each role starts from a different search, and each one gets the same accessible, ownable, procurement-ready asset.

Recreation and facilities manager

"recreation centre virtual tour" Drive rentals, registrations, and memberships, and document arenas and pools for capital renewal, without a staff-led walkthrough. See our YMCA at Seton recreation tour.

Clerk and council services

"council chamber virtual tour" Open the seat of local government to residents with a captioned, accessible record for transparency and heritage.

Accessibility coordinator

"AODA compliant virtual tour" Offer pre-visit access and wayfinding that meets WCAG 2.0 AA and serves every resident before they arrive.

Communications and economic development

"downtown virtual tour" Promote venues, parks, and downtown to residents, investors, and visitors, often on a grant or marketing budget.

Built for municipal procurement

How a 360 tour fits municipal buying.

Municipal purchasing is rule-bound and defensible, so we arrive procurement-ready. Purchasing can buy cleanly, accessibility can sign off, and a small town can start with a single facility instead of a multi-site commitment.

1

Start on one facility

Above a bylaw threshold, work goes to an open solicitation; below it, two or three quotes suffice. A single facility from $7,000 phases cleanly into a multi-site program.

2

We respond to RFPs and quotes

We respond to solicitations posted on municipal supplier portals such as bids&tenders, Biddingo, and MERX, with the documentation purchasing needs.

3

Procurement-ready deliverables

Insured with $5M CGL and E&O, WCB covered in Alberta and Saskatchewan, ISN registered, WCAG 2.0 AA accessible, schema-rich, with a Canadian, data-residency-optional delivery.

4

Published, hosted, maintained

An accessible tour on a maintained host, ready for your website, Google, capital planning, and the accessibility advisory committee.

Questions

Municipal questions.

What is a municipal 360 virtual tour used for?
A municipal 360 virtual tour documents the facilities a city runs so residents can navigate them online. It drives recreation rentals, registrations, and memberships, opens council chambers and civic buildings for transparency and engagement, supports pre-visit accessibility, and gives capital planning a dated, navigable as-built record, all from one consistent capture.
How do municipalities buy virtual tours through supplier portals and procurement?
Municipal work above a bylaw threshold goes to an open solicitation, while smaller jobs need only two or three quotes. We respond to RFPs and quotes posted on the supplier portals municipalities use, such as bids&tenders, Biddingo, and MERX, arriving insured with $5M CGL and E&O, WCB covered in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and ISN registered.
Are your virtual tours accessible and WCAG 2.0 AA conformant for AODA?
Yes. Our tours are built to WCAG 2.1 AA with navigable, captioned orientation that supports pre-visit access and wayfinding. That aligns with the AODA obligation that requires Ontario designated public sector bodies to make public-facing web content meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA, and we provide an accessibility statement.
What does a recreation-centre virtual tour cost, and how long does a multi-facility program take?
A single facility starts at $7,000 captured, built, and hosted, then $120 per month per retained tour, with photos from $110 that scale with quality and risk. A multi-facility municipal program runs $15k to $50k or more, scoped per site and phased across budget years so capture follows your roster and your capital plan.
Can a small town start with a single facility?
Yes. A small town can start with one facility from $7,000, usually its busiest rec centre or its city hall, and add sites as budget allows. A single tour clears the floor on its own and phases cleanly into a multi-site program later, so there is no need to commit to the whole roster up front.
Can the tour be delivered without cloud hosting for data residency?
Yes. Delivery is Canadian by default, and for security-sensitive facilities we can deliver the tour air-gapped and on-premise with no cloud. Data residency is a capability we name as a credibility point for the strict-security minority, not a constraint on a standard municipal tour.
For cities, towns, and counties

Start a procurement conversation.

Most municipal buyers start with one facility and expand across the roster. Tell us the buildings you run and we return a scoped, starting-at quote plus the procurement paperwork your team needs, with an accessible, Canadian owned and operated tour and a data-residency option for sensitive sites.
