Happy New Year! We have a new member of the team to introduce and a short update to offer on the Pemberton Woods Renewal.
New Community Engagement Specialist
Tamara Slobogean is our new Community Engagement Specialist who will take over updating neighbours on the Pemberton Woods Campus Renewal, and work to connect the school community with the greater community of Fairfield Gonzales and Victoria.
Tamara moved to the neighbourhood from Vancouver in May 2023 where she worked as a journalist and morning show producer, before moving into a Senior Communications role with the Invasive Species Council of BC. She is passionate about the environment, community and giving back to make a meaningful difference.
Pemberton Woods Campus Renewal Update
With a design shaped in partnership with our community, we submitted our rezoning application to the City of Victoria last summer and have made significant progress in collaboration with City staff over the past few months. As we work through the technical requirements of the application, we are approaching a formal resubmission to the City.
This process has included numerous productive meetings and site visits with various departments, including Transportation, Parks, and Engineering. These interactions have enabled us to address the many components of our proposal while ensuring that the community feedback captured during our design process remains central to every aspect of the application.
We appreciate the ongoing support from the community and the efforts made by City staff as we navigate the municipal process. While this process naturally takes time and involves extensive coordination, we remain committed to keeping you informed and engaged. Your support and feedback are always welcomed as we continue moving forward on the Pemberton Woods Campus Renewal.
