If you have an event you would like SeaChange to bring community mapping to let us know! We are often guest speakers at various organization's meetings, AGMs or community events and are excited to share community mapping with more people.

Past Events

Creatures of Habitat 2010

The coastal map was back at Creatures of Habitat for the second year in a row! Hundreds of grade six students worked with volunteers from the UVic geography department worked to add stories to the coastal community map.

SNITCEL (Tod Inlet) Pit Cook

Judith Arney and Ken Josephson were invited to a traditional pit cook and celebration hosted by John Bradley Williams and Earl Claxton Jr. at SNITCEL (Tod Inlet) on Saturday June 27. It was a great opportunity to meet some long time residents on the peninsula and collect a few stories for the Coastal Community Green Map project.

Saanich Inlet Protection Society's AGM mapping event

Taking advantage of the wealth of knowledge the members of SIPS has of coastal waters that surround us, we started to map their stories for an interactive on-line coastal community mapping project.

Creatures of Habitat - Mapping Event

Approximately 700 Grade Six students and their teachers in School District 63 (Saanich Peninsula, BC, Canada), 60 Grade 11, 12 student volunteers and 50 community volunteers participated.

This event took place in classrooms and green spaces in Sidney, North Saanich, Central Saanich and Saanich Municipalities with the final gathering at Mary Winspear Centre, Sidney, BC, on April 22nd.

Thanks to our volunteers, Hawley Beaugrand, Rosaline Canessa, Melissa Hauzer, Ken Josephson, Manuel Magzul and Neil Nunn the community mapping component at the final gathering, was great fun and a terrific success!
