In its own words, the Poet Laureate Map of Canada was:

...conceived as the legacy project of Owen Sound’s first Poet Laureate, Liz Zetlin.  Liz and Mayor Ruth Lovell invited poet laureates and mayors of their host-municipalities to participate. We have had an overwhelming response by Poet Laureate Map of Canada participants, and funding from Owen Sound City Council. We thank all those who have worked to make the Poet Laureate Map of Canada come to be a reality. We invite all of you who view it, use it and learn from it to help the Library to improve and update Poet Laureate Map of Canada.  Your comments are welcome at: library@owensound.library.on.ca

We think it is quite an interesting project, and WiER is happy to include a link to the Poet Laureate Map of Canada here in our Resources section.
