About
Hi there! I am Abhi - the “Guelph Maps Guy” - and I map things that matter. You may know me from my maps of Guelph parks, maps of Christmas and Halloween lights, local small businesses, #EatLocal map restaurants, maps of little libraries and many more.
I think ‘home’ is a habit, and belonging can be a practice. This newsletter will help you discover your community, meet new people, forge new connections, craft new memories, traditions, narratives, histories and habits with the place you call home - one map at a time.
Why subscribe?
Twice a month, I will send you a walkable/bikeable map of

2 local causes to support

Why maps?
The secret to cultivating a sense of belonging is to develop habits through which you merge the two geographies of belonging together:
The social geography of belonging, which includes the people and communities we share values, memories, traditions and histories with,
The physical geography of belonging, which includes objects and things we share space with.
These maps will take you through (physical) neighbourhoods, sidewalks and front-porches, giving you many opportunities to discover your (social) community, meet new people, forge new connections, and craft new memories, traditions, narratives, histories and habits with the place you call home.
