Internet Explorer Users: Every browser on the planet except Internet Explorer works with the CMN web atlases but there is a fix. Google has an extension for IE called "Google Chrome Frame". If you have to use IE becuase your IT department requires it this link will provide the answer and IE will work much faster - better yet just use Chrome or Firefox on you PC and on a Mac Safari & Chrome are the best.
Featured Atlas: Fraser Valley Watersheds Atlas
The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is working with the the Community Mapping Network (CMN), the Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition (FVWC), and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to support the Fraser Valley Watersheds Atlas. The Watersheds Atlas will help improve the health and sustainability of watersheds throughout the Fraser Valley using watershed planning, enhancement and restoration projects, partnership building, community stewardship, education and awareness. The four partners, with funding from the Real Estate Foundation of BC, are building a district-wide Watersheds Atlas with up to date environmental information compiled from the member municipalities, senior agencies and other available sources.
