British Columbia has an Early Childhood Development Mapping Portal that provides numerous maps of the province showing various socio-economic and childhood development factors. Maps are available by communities or school districts in pdf format. Users can also create their own maps either online with ESRI’s ArcIMS or offline using ArcReader 9.1, a standalone application.

The ECD Mapping Portal has also produced the BC Atlas of Childhood Development, available for download in pdf format (33 MB). The atlas seems to follow a format used in the previously mentioned British Columbia RX Atlas, also available in pdf format. Read the recent Globe and Mail article on the atlas.
