The Centre for Community Mapping, a not-for-profit corporation, develops and deploys strategies for social innovation based on modern information and communications technology. COMAP’s geo-spatial web-based applications use collaborative geomatics and other social networking tools to create innovative sustainable virtual communities with the goal of strengthening the functioning of civil society. 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.
