Community Mapping Network BC

Welcome

Welcome. The CMN helps communities in British Columbia and Canada map sensitive habitats and species distributions using customized data entry and digitizing tools integrated with links to local/remote data sets, WMS sources, geo-referenced videos and SHIM projects. The Atlas Gallery now has over seventy user friendly atlases. By providing accurate and up to date information, the CMN and its many partners will help plan sustainable communities.  Continue reading about the Community Mapping Network.

Some CMN Web Mapping & Project Forum Service Interruption during week of Feb. 6, 2012     

CMN must relocate its longest lived server to a new home and it will be off-line for a few days to make the journey and to fit into its new home. This server is 12 years old and it may not last too much longer. If all the internet gods are in alignment it should be back up by the end of this week. We can not offer any guarantees for timing and there is a remote chance we may not be able to revive it. All data for our partners that use that server is backed up and those data can be retrieved if we have to - if the server does not survive the journey.

 

We will post a notice here as soon as the move is complete and the outcome is known.

If you want to know more about all of this or what service will be interupted send us an email using the web contact form http://cmnbc.ca/contact
