• Defining the question + audience: Framing the work around service access and potential gaps for residents across Peel’s communities.

• Building a clean services layer: Collecting mental-health support locations, standardizing names/categories, and preparing them for mapping (quality checks + consistent attributes).

• Adding “need / context” layers: Bringing in boundary and neighbourhood context plus relevant community indicators to help interpret why some areas may be underserved.

• Spatial analysis to surface gaps: Comparing where services cluster vs. where people are, and highlighting areas that appear farther from support or have fewer nearby options.

• Turning analysis into a narrative: Designing an ArcGIS StoryMap that pairs clear maps, short explanations, and takeaways so a public audience can quickly understand the pattern and explore it interactively.
