Final Trip Preparations
Feb 15th, 2013 by dwaine
We are currently in the process of organizing our final, three day trip to Victoria’s downtown core. After meeting with Brandon Paxton last week, we received the final draft of the screening review forms, as well as a list of the heritage buildings that we will be screening. Our preparations for the trip have included:
– Filling out preliminary information on the screening forms, using Google Earth and CRD Atlas
– Booking accommodations at the Hotel Rialto
– Organizing transportation and ferries
– Discussing project management strategies with our group mentor
– Gathering equipment (measuring tapes, safety gear, scratch testing kits)
– Planning a budget with Dr. Nesbit
Below is a preliminary timeline for how the work will be carried out in Victoria:
Sunday, February 17
– 9 am ferry to Swartz Bay
– Check into hotel
– Meet with Catherine, Brandon, and Geography students
– Perform any screenings which can’t be done during regular weekday business hours
– Perform exterior inspections of buildings in project area
Monday, February 18
– Perform complete screenings of buildings in project area (exterior, interior, roof access)
Tuesday, February 19
– Continue screenings of buildings in project area

The area of interest for this project, centred around Market Square.
We are very excited to begin the final phase of our project and experience downtown Victoria.
