We have worked with Green Map since 1998. I am also on their Advisory. They have been core to the development of our own Community Mapping work, our UVIC Community Mapping Collaboratory and the Common Ground Mapping network - Info: mapping.uvic.ca . They have attended many of our conferences, we have co-produced publications with them and they have supported the process and production of over 15 community green map projects and maps in our own region here in Victoria British Columbia. Many sectors have benefited from their expertise and global vision.

I've had excellent experience with Green Map System since 2007, with all the great workers and people involved all around the world. Not only did I participate in achieving its organizational goals, but had opportunities to communicate with local green leaders and visitors from other countries.
