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.

Featured Atlas:   The Sunshine Coast Habitat Atlas     

The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD), in partnership with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (F&OC), has created a Habitat Atlas for the Sunshine Coast. The Atlas extends from Langdale to Egmont and north past the top of Jervis Inlet. It has over 40 layers including streams, roads, trails, land parcels, fish and wildlife habitat, and watershed boundaries. The Atlas provides information for planners, developers, government organizations, municipalities, First Nations, community organizations and local businesses, enabling them to make informed land use and stewardship decisions.
