Cartoon Map and Sticker Game

I based this map on an old papercraft map created by a Parks Canada employee in the '90s. I vectorized the characters from a photo taken of the original map (which has seen better days). The above version was used as a sticker collecting game for children and families traveling along the waterway in the summer of 2011. (The round translucent spots indicate where the stickers need to go.) Lock stations and the Wetland Discovery Trailer distributed different combinations of stickers so families had to travel to several places along the waterway to complete their map. This was very popular with children and their families and we ended up printing over 5000 copies.

This winter I was asked to remove the sticker spots and add more characters so the map could be printed and sold at the visitor's centre.

Large Trent-Severn Waterway Map

This was the first map I created for Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site (TSW). The majority of waterway map makers had tried to cram all the lock station names and numbers onto the map which resulted in maps that were cluttered or impossible to read. Most people refer to the lock stations by number anyway. This map was also a celebration of the new vibrant colour palette chosen by the new branding initiative at National Office.
