Paint The Province campaign map

The Lawn signs → The Map page is the campaign map for Paint The Province. It shows how many lawn sign requests Albertans have placed — across the province, in your city, and right on your street — so you can see how the campaign is growing and where your community fits in.

The page is read-only. To request signs, install a sign, or visit a center, use the matching entries on the Lawn signs menu.

What the dashboard shows

The page has three sections, top to bottom.

Across Alberta — at a glance (top)

A navy header welcomes you with the headline running total of lawn sign requests across Alberta. Underneath you'll see three quick numbers:

• this week — how many new requests came in over the last seven days.
• communities active — how many of Alberta's postal-code areas already have at least one request.
• homes reached — the share of Alberta homes where a sign has been installed.

A dark map of the province sits below those numbers, with glowing red dots on the biggest cities — bigger dots mean more requests. A small white-and-red marker shows roughly where you are.

Your neighbourhood (middle)

A lighter section centred on your part of Alberta. The single View progress for picker at the top decides what the rest of the section measures.

The picker starts on My area (your postal-code area). You can switch to My city, All Alberta, or search any other Alberta city or postal-code area by name. There is no other set of controls — this picker is the only one.

Below the picker is a map of Alberta covered in small badges. Each badge shows the lawn sign request total for one postal-code area. Your own area is highlighted in red with an outlined border so it's easy to find.

Three quick numbers sit beside the map and update with the picker:

• requests here — total requests in the area you've selected.
• homes reached — share of homes reached in that same area.
• your requests — how many lawn sign requests you've made yourself.

The Your contribution card on the right is your personal counter, with a friendly nudge toward the next milestone.

Underneath it, the Your hand-offs card lists every time you have recorded giving lawn signs to someone — the date, the postal-code area, and how many signs. It adds up to a friendly total like "You've handed off 12 signs over 4 drop-offs." Only you can see your own list, and it shows the area and count only — never anyone's name, email, or phone. If you haven't recorded any hand-offs yet, the card says so and explains where they'll appear.

Across Alberta — the details (bottom)

At the top of this section are the big campaign totals — the Signs numbers:

• Signs requested — the number of signs Albertans requested on the Forever Canadian website. The big number is the confirmed count (people who clicked the link in their email); a small note below it, like "+1,672 awaiting confirmation," is the requested signs we haven't confirmed yet.
• Signs handed off — how many real lawn signs our volunteers have physically given out so far. These are signs that have actually left the box and are out in neighbourhoods.

Below the big totals is a smaller Activity group that counts forms and drop-offs rather than signs:

• Requests submitted — how many forms Albertans submitted when they asked for signs. One form can ask for several signs, so this is lower than the signs requested number above.
• Hand-off drop-offs — how many separate times a volunteer recorded giving signs to someone, and how many volunteers have handed off at least one sign.

Every number on the page has a small ℹ️ info button beside it. Hover over it, or move to it with the keyboard and stop, and a short plain-language explanation appears so you always know exactly what each number means.

Three more headline tiles repeat other useful totals: Lawn sign requests, Communities active, and Homes reached.

Underneath the tiles, the Top communities leaderboard ranks Alberta postal-code areas by request total, biggest first. Each row shows the city and postal-code area, the running total, a progress bar, and a "plus N" weekly delta on the right. If your own area is on the list, its row is highlighted.

The Your area's rank in Alberta card to the right shows exactly where your postal-code area sits in the rankings. If you haven't set your postal code yet, the card invites you to add one.

The page ends with a See all N postal-code areas link that opens a plain-language table covering every postal-code area in Alberta. The columns are Area, City, Requests, Homes reached, and Share of Alberta. You can read the table with a screen reader and tab through it from the keyboard — it doubles as the accessible alternative to the map.

If your numbers look empty

If you haven't added an Alberta postal code yet, the page shows a small note above the picker asking you to set one in your profile, and your own area's rank card invites you to add one. Once your postal code is on file, the page will know where to centre your view.
