Maps
The project employs GIS techniques to show the spatial distribution of Co-operatives across Canada. This allows viewers to have an appreciation of the geographical spread of Co-operatives as well as identify the clustering of particular types of co-operatives in specific regions. Mapping the presence of co-operatives will be utilized to determine the impact that they have on their local communities as well as the spillover effects to surrounding regions. The study hypothesizes that co-operatives as a form of social capital enhances the quality of life in communities, hence help in their growth though attracting population. It is hoped that such linkages will enable co-operatives to get the support they deserve. Click on the links below to view the maps.
