SUMMARY:Jane's Walk: Mapping the Ghosts of Essex County
DESCRIPTION:📍 John R. Park Homestead’s Visitor Centre (915 County Rd 50 E\, Essex)👥 In Person Only 💲 Free \n\n\n\nJoin us for a “Jane’s Talk” that bridges the gap between archival paper maps and the digital age. \n\n\n\nIn this introductory-level session\, we’ll be looking at OpenHistoricalMap (OHM) – an Openstreetmap branch that focuses on mapping the history of the world’s settlements\, roadways\, and infrastructure. See how we’re turning scans and photographs of century-old\, hand drawn maps into interactive digital data\, and find out how to connect with us to share your own knowledge. \n\n\n\nPart history lesson and part tech seminar\, this event shows how archival records are being used to build a “Google Maps” for our region’s past—revealing how early land grants and original surveys still dictate the roads we drive today. \n\n\n\nThis session is presented in partnership with the Windsor-Essex Jane’s Walk Festival\, an annual celebration of neighbourhoods through volunteer-led walking tours and events. Visit their website for more information about this amazing annual event\, including this year’s complete schedule. \n\n\n\n📆 April 26🕦 2:45 – 3:45 PM📍John R. Park Homestead’s Visitor Centre (915 County Rd 50 E\, Essex)✅ Reserve your spot through the Jane’s Walk website!

SUMMARY:Intro to OpenStreetMap Contributions
DESCRIPTION:📍 Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave.\, Unit 210)👥 In Person Only 💲 Free \n\n\n\nOpenStreetMap powers thousands of apps\, routing engines\, and humanitarian efforts—and it relies on everyday people to keep local data accurate. In this session\, we’ll guide you through using the beginner-friendly iD Editor to make real\, immediate edits to the map. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a low-key\, collaborative evening to learn a useful technical skill\, improve our local map data\, and connect with the Hackforge community. \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn \n\n\n\n\nEditor Basics: Navigate the web-based iD Editor\, understand satellite layers\, and practice basic mapping workflow.\n\n\n\nOSM Data Structure: Learn how nodes\, ways\, and tags come together to represent real-world features.\n\n\n\nCommunity Etiquette: Understand best practices for collaborative editing.\n\n\n\nHands-On Mapping: Practice adding useful information – like building addresses\, speed limits\, and sidewalks – directly to the live map.\n\n\n\n\nHow to Prepare \n\n\n\n\nBring a laptop + power cord: This is an interactive session where you’ll learn by doing – tablets and phones aren’t the best for this work. (we will have a few laptops on hand in case you need to borrow one\, though!)\n\n\n\nCreate an OSM account beforehand: it’s free and takes tow minutes\, but setting it up in advance will save time during the workshop. (https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new)\n\n\n\nNo prior experience needed: Whether you’re a complete beginner or a data enthusiast looking to give back\, everyone is welcome.\n\n\n\n\n📆 Tuesday\, October 27th\, 2026🕦 7 – 9 PM📍Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave\, Unit 210)🎟️ RSVP using the form below \n\n\n\n💬 Interest Group: OSM
