Second Open House for Queenswood Rezoning
by UVic
The University of Victoria
is scheduled to apply to the District of Saanich for a rezoning designation for
the Queenswood property purchased from the Sisters of St. Ann last year. UVic
needs to seek a change to the current designation to meet the
university’s needs for the property into the future. The intended use of
the property will meet UVic's main missions for teaching, research and
community engagement.
UVic is seeking public input prior
to submitting the rezoning application, having held the first open house
information session in November 2010.
Information about the consultation
and rezoning process is provided on a dedicated website available from www.uvic.ca/queenswood.
