An online forum on multiple platforms allowing individuals, groups or communities to design, load and update specific data layers to an interactive mapping system. Uploads include anything from a kayaking trip rapids navigation route to a 2 day hiking food plan.
This is a work in progress that will require more development and more buy-in from participants. When completed it will consist of a fully-functioning home page (beta version here) linked to social networking platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.
Given the right development and participation the proposed website could have a sizeable impact on our outdoors community by encouraging active engagement in local parks, provincial parks, and waterways.

I'm a historian, curator, teacher and designer living in Ottawa. In 2003 I completed a Harvard doctoral dissertation on the 18thC origins of the catalogue raisonné. Then I taught at Stanford University in California from 2003 to 2005. For the next six years I was Curator of European & American Art at the National Gallery of Canada. These days I'm involved in a variety of research, teaching, advocacy and design projects.
