A Grade 7 class in Durham Region, Ontario, successfully halted a planned warehouse development on the protected Duffins Creek wetland by creating a storytelling map to raise public opposition. Under the guidance of teacher Alison Ellwood and GIS Ambassador Connor Houston, the students researched the ecological importance of wetlands, conducted interviews, and used tools like Mapbox and QGIS to visually map their findings. Their efforts, which included writing letters and starting a petition, garnered enough attention to persuade the Ontario government to withdraw the special order allowing the development, leading Amazon and the developer to abandon their plans. The project emphasized the power of geospatial technology in education and encouraged continued exploration of local environmental issues, fostering a deeper connection between the students and their community.
