Mapping Our Common Ground

The Mapping our Common Ground Mitacs- supported Internships will support the Evaluation and Communications functions for the UVIC Community Mapping Collaboratory. Supported by lead Academics from UVIC and UBC, key staff working at the Collaboratory and key advisors from the Community Mapping Collaboratory Steering Ctte (including Wendy Brawer from the global Green Map system and WSANEC indigenous mapping leaders Kevin Paul and John Elliott), the two interns will research the academic and popular literature, information, tools, applications and innovation in the community mapping field. This work will result in a Evaluation framework for Community Mapping and an On-line Common Ground Mapping Network for use by academics and communities in Canada and worldwide and both Web –based and Classroom focused Learning Curriculum tools and resources.
