Nuestra
Comunidad - a
map prepared by Common Ground interns Kristina Bouris and Ian Scott
with the residents of Rosario, Argentina. The sites on the map included
soccer fields, community centres and medicinal plant gardens.
Children's
map -
from a Common Ground community mapping workshop.
Victoria
Fruit Tree Map - LifeCycles' Fruit Tree Project uses this map
to find residents with fruit trees that would usually go unharvested.
In the fall, they contact folks, pick the fruit and give most to
community food cupboards and sell a percentage for the next year's
program. In 2000, this great urban sustainability project picked
over 20,000 lbs. of fruit!
Map
of Beacon Hill Park - This map was done by Grade 1 students
at South Park School as part of a whole school "mapping the
park" exercise. The teachers owe a debt to David Sobel's book
"Mapmaking with Children," which they found to be a great
help. A resource guide for kids & mapping is currently being
put together by Common Ground.
James
Bay Neighbourhood Green Map Draft - Sample from the Greater
Victoria Green Map currently being put together by Common Ground.
Keep you eyes out for a print version by fall 2001. Victoria residents
send your site suggestions!
Here are some samples
