Why list events on a map?

Events are inherently about a place and a time. Putting one on a map matches how people decide whether to go — they look at where it is relative to them.

A map listing also benefits from its neighbours: your event sits next to other things happening in the same area, so someone discovering one event finds yours too. That shared context is something a standalone event page or a personal feed cannot offer.

And because a Map.ca Pin persists, your presence keeps working between events — a venue, a recurring class, or an organizer stays on the map rather than disappearing when a single event page expires.
