Mapping who is doing what, where, when, and with whom across Canada helps us build a clear understanding of existing initiatives.

This approach allows us to capture key dimensions such as the actors involved (the individuals and institutions), their activities and target populations, the geographical scope, the timing of interventions, and the collaborators engaged.

This is critical in allowing us to:

• Provide a clear snapshot of existing initiatives, including their scope, structure, and focus

• Highlight multidisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration

• Identify geographical and structural gaps in services and initiatives

• Improve referrals by making relevant initiatives easier to find across regions

• Facilitate, track and update changes over time through an interactive, easy to navigate, online map
