Welcome!
The UVic Community Mapping Initiative
September 2011 Update
The University of Victoria Community Mapping Initiative, with a newly formed steering committee is developing a service and business plan to guide UVic’s community engagement, partnerships and research in mapping. The Initiative is a key service hub in a broader Common Ground Community Mapping Network and builds on the work of many years of community and green mapping and partnerships, in particular with the worldwide Green Map System.
The Office of Community-Based Research is coordinating development of the UVic-CMI with support from the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Department of Geography and the Library. To keep informed on the development of the Community Mapping Initiative or Common Ground Community Mapping Network, email us.

The Common Ground Community Mapping Network
Associated Project:
The partnerships and relationships created, and resources compiled over the last 12 years through the rich collaborative projects of Lifecycles' Common Ground Community Mapping Project spawned the ad hoc community mapping office and resource space in Geography at UVic that has evolved into the Community Mapping Initiative.
A number of community and university partners are interested in supporting and participating in the formalized CMI as well as a broader Common Ground Community Mapping Network.
