Canadian Map wins 2 awards at the ICA 2005 Conference in A Coruña Spain



City of Toronto Building Construction Date. 2003.  Scale 1:30 000

The city map of Toronto, City of Toronto Building Construction Date received
two (2) awards as part of the Canadian cartographic display - International
Map Exhibit for the International Cartographic Conference (ICA) 2005 in A
Coruña Spain. The first award it received was given by the judging panel for
the best map in the 'Urban Map Category' and the second from the attending
delegates and was based on popular vote.  The cartographer is Canadian
Cartographic Association (CCA) member Patricia Morphet of the Survey and
Mapping Services of the City of Toronto.   This map shows a snapshot of
growth trends in the city of Toronto using year building information from
assessment data.  The information presented is of interest to those in the
construction and planning fields or those interested in historical
geography.  This map was also featured on cover of latest issue of
Cartouche, Number 58, Summer 2005.

The map of Toronto will be on display at Carto 2005, St. John's
Newfoundland, Memorial University of Newfoundland, July 26th to 30th along
with all of the other cartographic entries that were chosen to be part of
the Canadian Cartographic Exhibit. The Canadian Cartographic Map Exhibit
will be donated to Memorial University after the conference.

Congratulations to Patricia Morphet, the City of Toronto Surveys and Mapping
Services and to all of this year's contributors to the 2005 Canadian
Cartographic Exhibit. A special thanks also to GeoAccess Division, Natural
Resources Canada for its continued support of the Canadian Cartographic
