North Shore Culture Compass is a free online map that visualizes the rich cultural landscape of the Lower Mainland’s North Shore.

An accessible navigational tool featuring key information about points of interest, the Culture Compass encourages local residents and tourists alike to connect with the arts, heritage, and stories that make this region so vibrant.

Discover museums & natural landmarks, live performance & public art, annual festivals & art galleries, and so much more. 

The Culture Compass is accessible from desktop, tablet, and mobile devices with no sign-up or app download necessary. The platform was created by Esri Canada using geographic information system (GIS) software — a model that partnering municipalities and First Nations use to collect data. The map is updated by a dedicated project team and overseen by an advisory committee comprised of individuals from North Shore organizations across sectors.
