Heritage Maps

About the Cultural Mapping Project

The Cultural Mapping Project highlights and promotes the cultural assets within our community. We invite you to explore the unique cultural offerings of Elizabethtown-Kitley through this project, which was initiated by the Township’s Heritage Committee and made possible with funding from both the Province of Ontario and the Township. For a comprehensive overview of the project, please check out the Cultural Map Project Overview. 

What is Cultural Mapping?

As Jeannette Hanna once said, it's difficult to fully describe the special character of a place when you live there. Cultural mapping is a tool designed to identify and articulate the unique characteristics that define a community. These features contribute to the Quality of Life and the Quality of (Authentic) Place. In essence, cultural mapping helps us define culture as “who we are and what we do.”
