COMAP’s mission is to provide 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.

COMAP is a not-for-profit corporation that provides web-based solutions for communities of practice that encourage participation by the voluntary sector.

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

There is a 'disconnect' between global landscape views of changing planetary conditions and local perspectives of how humans affect and live in a changing environment.

COMAP provides an information framework for people who collaborate within a geographic context.

COMAP helps make shared information accessible and understandable for all participants.

COMAP offers a forum for adaptive management of the biosphere that can be accessible and relevant to all: professionals, governments and the public.

COMAP thanks the Ontario Trillium Foundation for its generous project support
