Seeking Help To Build Asset Map

Cache Up NB received a request for help in creating an “asset map” for the province of NB. The map looks at trail connectivity between communities other aspects similar to it.

They are looking for any sort of track files, GPS data, coordinates, maps, or anything that might help them. If you do have anything you think could be helpful for this, please send it along to us so we can forward it to them.

Here is the original message we received:

The Southeast Regional Service Commission has engaged a consultant team (UPLAND + Viridis) to develop a Regional Recreation Planning study. The goal of the project is to create a recreational asset inventory for the entire south-east region of New Brunswick.

Recreational assets refer to federal, provincial, municipal, non-profit and privately held physical assets to be used by the public for recreation activities, and include: trails, arenas and rinks, sports fields, pools, parks and beaches, playgrounds, golf courses, tennis courts, curling clubs, skateboard parks, ski hills, and bowling alleys.

An “asset map” is being created, that will look at trail connectivity between various assets within communities as well as connections between the communities.  We are looking for your input.  As part of the process, we are contacting your organization to gather information on recreational assets (including trails) that you may have available in digital or non-digital formats, GPS data or links that you feel will provide us with relevant information for this study.

Our team looks forward to the opportunity to hear from you  as we move forward with this exciting initiative!
