Background

The
University of Victoria is a vibrant network of students,
instructors, researchers and staff that need beautiful and functional work and
recreation space in order to be happy, healthy and productive. UVic connects
ideas to people, places and projects in the CRD, provincial, national and
global community. It is a place with First Nations historical roots and
significant cultural diversity in its population. UVic is also a diverse
local ecosystem that serves our human community by providing services in the
form of clean air, water, shade and food.

The UVic-CGMP intends to harness the energy, ideas and visions of our
community members and provide students with real world experience in
participatory planning. Moreover this project will provide an interface with
local and global partners and innovators from academic and civil societies who
have the common purpose of creating a healthy and sustainable world.
