Neighbourhoods
In Year 1, Common Ground
initiated and supported a pilot mapping project in James Bay. Maps
were made by schools
and groups on community values and historic land use, particularly
First Nations. The James Bay Mapping Initiative
is focusing on using mapping to revise the neighbourhood
plan and enhance the neighbourhood centre while
continuing to document local land use and history, including
interviewing neighbourhood elders.
Saanich neighborhoods also
mapped their community values and cherished
places for community mapping day.

In Year 2, Common Ground
supported a new neighbourhood initiative in Fairfield -- "Our
FairFields". Fairfield will map its unique characteristics
in a process designed to foster participatory community development,
integrated community planning and documentation of community
history. Saanich created its own map poster as a compilation
of its neighbourhood and community map-making projects.

This year Common Ground will
continue to outreach to regional neighbourhoods and support and
develop new mapping projects.
