UVic is well on the way to implementing all recommendations from the independent report after the tragic bus accident that resulted in the deaths of two students and injuries to
many others.
On Feb. 20 the provincial government tabled Budget 2018 which includes support of a UVic law program that will be the first of its kind in the world, funding for tuition waivers
for former youth in care and a change in the policies for financing of student housing, which will help with the construction of a new UVic residence.
On Sept. 17, Saanich Council gave the green light for UVic to move ahead with the new Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities and related parkade. Councillors
unanimously voted in favour of the necessary development variances while also commending the university for thorough public consultation.
