THANK YOU!

The Urban Design Studio would like to thank all the individuals and organizations that provided support to us during this service-learning project. First and foremost, we wish to acknowledge Kristina Leach Ph.D., Affiliate Faculty of the Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture, for initiating the project and bringing the community partners and the students together. Dr. Leach serves on the Board of Directors of the Gorge View Society, the non-profit owner and operator of Chown Place. Thank you, Kristina! The Chair of the Gorge View Society Board of Directors, David King played a key role providing vision and leadership for the effort. Mr. King's assistant, Liz Bartley contributed to community engagement efforts, and board member Joseph Calenda exhorted us to look for a new paradigm of neighborhood development in the 21st Century Canadian City.

The Burnside-Gorge Community Association is the other prime community partner we wish to acknowledge. Led by Chairperson Avery Stetski and Land-Use Committee Representative Adrian Shewchuk, the Community Association expressed support and gave valuable feedback to the students and to Gorge View Society. Special thanks to Burnside Gorge Newsletter Editor, Rachel O'Neill, for running several articles in the newsletter to promote community engagement activities.

The Studio also wishes to thank Minh Ngo, the Visual Scribe, for sharing her time and expertise to introduce us to visual notetaking techniques. Barry Cosgrove and Number 10 Architects deserve our gratitude for sharing their design expertise and digital files for the newest Chown Place Building. We wish to acknowledge the City of Victoria and the District of Saanich for providing mapping and engineering data. Special thanks to Steve Hutchinson, Victoria Transportation Planner, and David Williams, Saanich Engineering Supervisor, for detailed information about Harriet Road.
