August 2016 What I've been up to

  • I went to the official revealing of Douglas Coupland's Golden Tree at the new Marine Gateway development (Marine & Cambie). It was a study in placemaking, public spaces, developer funded public art in the context of Cambie Corridor redevelopment.
  • I explored development/redevelopment, unique housing types, transportation and quickly evolving environmental situations from the river. This is a perspective I do not see everyday!
