The Craik Green Map was created to highlight areas and activities in the local area relating to sustainable living. It shows the town of Craik and some of its surrounding are, including Arm Lake and the Arm River Valley. The map was designed by Paul Stinson, and overlays a road map and Green Map Icons over an aerial photograph of Craik in the spring. Since the maps publication, a number of new initiatives have been developed, which will be included in the next edition.
Copies of the map are distributed mainly from the Craik Eco-Centre and the Town/RM office, as well as at events attended by representatives of the Craik Sustainable Living Project.
No direct media coverage to date, although some of the images used in the brochure have also been published in a story on the community of Craik in the April, 2007 edition of Canadian Living Magazine.
There is interest in and funding secured for constructing an informational kiosk that displays a large version of the map and other information about sustainability projects and activities in the area ...
The Craik Green Map should be revised in 2008 to reflect recent changes in the area, particularly in the development of the eco-village. It is also hoped and expected that this will become part of a mapping project of a larger surrounding region.
Thank you to those who provided moral support in attempting something a little different.
The Craik Green Map is the first Green Map in Saskatchewan.
