Second open house for Queenswood rezoning

The second public open house meeting about the Queenswood rezoning proposal will take place Feb. 8, 2011 from 4 to 8 p.m. at St. George's Anglican Church (church hall) located at 2909 St. George's Lane in Cadboro Bay. More info

UVic 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. The university needs to seek a change to the current designation to meet UVic'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.

 The first open house took place in November 2010, as covered in an earlier Ring story. A dedicated website has been established to share information with the public, and can be accessed through the UVic webpage here. Public input can also be submitted online through that dedicated site.

The Ring will publish another update in February or early March 2011.
