  5. Why build a web atlas for the North Thompson? • Local governments, agencies, First Nations and individuals need improved capacity to support decision making for a sustainable community • Web technology, digital information, and good collaborative relationships among potential partners are all in place • It is a “One Stop Shop” for community users to easily access map information from a variety of internet sites • Provides a site for local “made in the North Thompson” map layers to fill information gaps specific to the North Thompson area

  6. Map layers from agencies and non-government organizations Bring map info from multiple agency servers to a common website Data remains with agency, atlas needs only a link on web Locally developed maps Local assets can be mapped using community volunteers Assets include social, environmental, cultural, economic and infrastructure values Two Types of Map Layers

  7. Partnerships formed Preliminary atlas online Funding proposals submitted Local asset mapping methodology developed using low cost tools Atlas Development – Progress to Date
