The wealth of space and airborne imagery in Canada has never been as great as today. Real-time, repeated, multi- spectral and multiscale imagery may all be available for a specific area under study. An interpreter might choose one type of imagery only, but in fact he has the comfortable option of using them all if required. His choice could reveal the exact information wanted in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional means. For example, the recent major forest fires in Northwestern Ontario, including an area of 607,000 hectares, were mapped from ERTS - Band 6 imagery by the Ontario Centre for Remote Sensing. The cost incurred for imagery and the labour of the OCRS was $518. The traditional survey, which included sketching from airplane and ground sampling with helicopter transport, cost $13,300 for the same area. This cost comparison shows that fire mapping by remote sensing was twenty-six times cheaper than by traditional means. Consequent ly, policy makers of provincial governments should be made aware that remote sensing techniques could replace traditional techniques, and that new money is not necessarily needed beyond the existing budget. In fact the financing of a remote sensing trial may require only a fraction of the budget of an approved program. Thus, the risk of obtaining proof of economical benefits is minimal. A requirement of new funds for remote sensing is antici pated when there is no other practical way of handling a job, such as drainage tile discoveries on farmlands, temperature plume delineations and monitoring in lakes at power generator outlets, determination of physical parameters for inaccessable areas, etc. Finally, a remark about the relationship between produc tion, research and training in the interpretation aspect of remote sensing. The interpretation of a variety of imagery with spectral, scale and dimensional characteristics is a highly visual effort that takes specific human qualities plus exper ience to master. Therefore, interpretation, research and training cannot be handled adequately unless they are based on practice. The researcher must be fully aware of the real problems to be investigated, and the teacher must be fully conversant with the elements and local characteristics of the subject matter. If interpretation production, research and training are exercised in harmony, as a team effort, within a regional centre, that centre will possess the essential ingredients to be a successful crusader for remote sensing.
