The Centre for Community Mapping (COMAP – comap.ca), a not-for-profit corporation devoted to research and development, creates and deploys strategies for socio-economic, cultural and environmental innovation based on modern information and communications technology. COMAP’s web-based applications use collaborative geomatics, social media and customized applications to support partnerships among members of geographic and virtual communities whose goal is strengthening civil society within a sustainable economy. COMAP provides a web presentation of the rural and urban landscape of Ontario where our communities can collaboratively reveal and adapt their practices of caring for our natural, cultural and social fabric.

The Centre for Community Mapping is a truly unique non-profit organization committed to stay the tragedy of the commons through collaborative engagement.

COMAP proposes an ad revenue service, called Mapadit, for the financial sustainability of engaged civil society and the operations and advancement of its services. COMAP believes that a social enterprise that serves local community needs provides a competitive edge for local advertising sales.
