Details

The goal of this project is to create an interactive digital map that visually represents CF Huron's contributions to business and economic development across Huron County, Ontario over the past 30 years. This map will serve as a tool to highlight the geographic distribution of CF Huron's initiatives and their impacts on local communities. By leveraging historical data and geographic information systems (GIS), the project aims to provide an engaging and informative experience for stakeholders and the public. The map should be user-friendly and allow users to explore different regions and time periods to understand the scope and scale of CF Huron's influence. This project will enable learners to apply their skills in data analysis, GIS, and digital design, while gaining insights into regional economic development.

Deliverables

The primary deliverable is an interactive digital map that includes:


- A user-friendly interface with zoom and navigation features.


- Data layers representing different types of impacts (e.g., business growth, job creation).


- A timeline feature to view changes over the past 30 years.


- A report detailing the methodology used for data collection and map creation.


This project will culminate in a presentation showcasing the map and its functionalities.
