Community association carves new partnerships in Oak Bay
UVic campus meeting initiates CAOB expansion Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News
The first stop as the Community Association of Oak Bay reaches out to all corners
of the community, is the University of Victoria’s draft campus plan. “We want to go out and start these community conversations in Oak Bay. We’re going to try to create partnerships in the community,” said Kris Nichols, CAOB president. “We want to share information and ideas. It’s really important that we do that.” They’ll start to build community in a partnership with Emmanuel Baptist Church,
which hosts a Tuesday meeting to talk about the final stages of the University of Victoria’s 10-year draft campus plan. Traffic, parking and student resident issues are ongoing and will likely earn a chunk of the final discussion as community associations were invited to weigh in on the final 2015 updates on the 2003 plan. It also underwent public review January through March. “The campus is a good neighbour and it
wants to continue to be a good neighbour so they want to hear from their neighbours in north Henderson,” Nichols said. Nichols expects green space on campus, transportation – including parking, transit and walkways – and housing to be popular topics. PLEASE SEE: UVic expected to join discussion, Page A3
