Our Mission

​The Map Shop’s mission is to create a more equitable and sustainable world by empowering people to turn data into knowledge. We aim to be a trusted source of information for the public and government leaders to inform public opinion and policy. We achieve this through participatory research, geospatial tools, data analytics and visualizations to support community-engaged research and education.

1) Student Engagement, 2) Offered Services 3) Classroom Support
