Why a neighbourhood map?

As the Post’s volunteers planned our summer issue, Christian and Luisa Ensslin, frequent contributors, suggested a novel idea aligned with a point Christian has made about our effort: it needs to be fun! (And not just local politics!) Their idea? A map of the neighbourhood that shows all the cool things about our little corner of the world.

The project took months. It began with the father-daughter team going about the neighbourhood to chart points of interest. Kate Crane hand-illustrated the fruits of their labour. Kate Sinclair-Sowerby of Co. & Co. digitized the massive illustration, and Rory King topped it with calligraphy. The map’s printing (along with this issue) was then kindly sponsored by T. Chandler Haliburton of RE/MAX Nova.

All of these creative people live in this neighbourhood. This is our map of our neighbourhood. We hope to use the map for future scavenger hunts for kids, so please hold onto it. And if you’d like to see a glossy colour version, we plan to have them available for purchase (as a fundraiser) at the Nov. 5 AGM. See you there.
