The freeware available through Natural Resources Canada that Sally mentioned at the workshop can be explored via the GB-Explorer, The Georgia Basin Digital Library Project, website. The URL for the Local Stories section of this site is http://georgiabasin.info/localstories/main_localstories.html.

According to this website, "The Local Stories module is designed to connect people with ideas and ideas with places on the Georgia Basin landscape. This module opens the door to on-line community knowledge development by providing map-based tools for exploring and creating user-driven content and is based on established community mapping methodologies developed as a part of the Green Map System initiative.
The Green Map System is a globally connected, locally adaptable eco-cultural program for community sustainability. Green Maps (both printed and online) utilize Green Map Icons to chart the sites of environmental significance around the world."

I found that the icons are somewhat confusing, but if you persist in zooming down to a fine resolution on the maps, you can get to a number of "query-able" icons that provide access to information and images submitted by users.
