Map Details

About the Map:

Led by young parents, we have gathered information during a series of events where we will exchange clothing and toys, share stories and ideas, and collectively record some of the services and spaces we benefit from. The finished map will be available on YouthCore's website (http://www.youthcore.ca) as well as in print. It will not only be a useful tool for easily locating specific sites, but also be a visual narrative of young parents' experiences as a community.

Tagline/Slogan:

The Takes a Village Map is a community mapping initiative that aims to put together an asset map of all the resources, services, and supportive spaces for young parents in Victoria.

Created by:

Montreal Green Map - Carte Verte MontrÃƒÂ©al

Map Details

About the Map:

LaSalle Gardens (Montreal) - Summer 2008 The Sustainable Development Corporation with ECO411 put forward the concepts of relational economy in this project which looks to demonstrate how Community Economic Development can thrive on 'indigenous' (derived from the Latin meaning 'self-generating') resources by helping communities recapture their food spending dollars in an Asset Based Community Ecological-Economic Development ABCDE model. Through the petitions of support for local economy, human ressource cataloguing and mapping (through the OGM) we will keep track of families looking to invest buying power in local distributors of essential goods, along with local grocery stores and restaurants who wish to embark in this evolved consumer association. In a community of over 2000 citizens, we seeka participation of a 100 residences (signatories). This amount can recapture approximately 750,000 food spending dollars to re-channel in a frequent buyer's program that can implicate a % family discount plus share interest redeemable in products. This project is coordinated by Douglas F. Jack. Technical support is provided by Olivier Kolmel. And new to our team we welcome Tara Mather, from University of Texas at Austin, who is operating as field agent.
