On another issue, Lindsay Chase sent me an email regarding this seminar at Uvic. It looks interesting I am going to go.
The Division of Continuing Studies in partnership with the City of Victoria and the District of Sannich is pleased to offer People, Places, Perspectives, a series on shaping dynamic communities. Join us on June 19th 2007 at the University of Victoria as we welcome the honourable Mike Harcourt to present:
City Making in Paradise: A Conversation with Mike Harcourt
The communities, lifestyles, and surroundings that make southern Vancouver Island such an appealing place to live are under pressure in the face of significant growth and environmental change. Join the Honorable Mike Harcourt, former Mayor of Vancouver and Premier of British Columbia, for a lively and thought-provoking discussion of the ways in which the daily choices we make as leaders, activists, and citizens influence our capacity to build liveable and resilient communities. Mr. Harcourt relates the lessons learned in three decades of urban planning and development to the special challenges that confront Victoria and its neighbouring communities, and offers ideas for policy and practice that support sustainable city-making in our west coast paradise.
Instructor: Mike Harcourt
As the former mayor of Vancouver and premier of British Columbia, Mike Harcourt helped Canada's westernmost province earn its reputation as one of the most livable places in the world. His focus on conservation and sustainable development has played a significant role in promoting quality of life for those he represented in office.
