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.

About the Map:

This Jones Falls Trail Green Map covers the entire Baltimore City portion of the watershed. The centerpiece is the trail, partly built, partly still under construction. An inset map of Druid Hill Park, our largest urban park, has 50 listings within the park itself! We hope to help the trail be successful as a commuter and recreational path as we illustrate the many resources that can be accessed by using it.
