UVIC Proposing Vancouver Island Alliance

The University of Victoria's Community Relations Office is proposing a Vancouver Island Alliance among all post secondary institutions on the Island for the purpose of mobilizing their collective and diverse research, knowledge, skills and capacities in service of the people of the Island. The idea was inspired in part by the Nov 2007 Re-Discovering the Alberni Valley event organized by locals Ken Hutcheson, Dewayne Parfitt, John Tierney, Rosalie Lawes, Russ McLaughlin, Darren Willis and the City's Economic Development Manager Pat Deakin.
