In April 2007, Charles Burnett & Maeve Lydon produced a 27 page work plan for mapping quantitative and qualitative thematic data on early childhood development entitled "PLAY UEY Project Mapping Work Plan".
“Rediscovering places to play on the Saanich peninsula”
The Peninsula Parks and Play Spaces Project is an initiative to increase awareness and use of parks and play spaces as local resources that can help foster the healthy development of young children (0-6 years) and their families. The project has two phases—community involvement processes that will result in development of an informational map of the parks and play spaces on the Saanich Peninsula and “Play Days in the Parks” scheduled for spring 2007.
This series of free workshops was presented by the City of Victoria, in conjunction with the University of Victoria, LifeCycles and Vancity

Starting in the summer of 2007, Fernwood Fruit Tree Project participants will harvest fruit and berries from trees and bushes in our community that would otherwise go to waste. The food will be distributed equally amongst home owners, volunteers, food banks and community organisations.
This project is part of the Fernwood NRG Harvest Project, a project that promotes local food sustainability. We will be putting on canning, preserving and drying workshops in the fall of 2007 so community members can enjoy local food all year round.
