Cadboro Bay residents are invited to the next Queenswood committee meeting, set for tonight (Sept. 7) at St. George’s Anglican Church

The future of the Queenswood site, owned by the University of Victoria, will be the focus of discussion.

Saanich distributed a letter to UVic indicating the deficiencies in a zoning application proposal submitted to staff in March.

Cadboro Bay Residents Association president Elizabeth Borek suggests anyone concerned about the future of Queenswood download the letter from Saanich (from www.cadborobay.bc.ca) to get up to speed on the progress being made. “We’d love to have as many people (are able) come out to the meeting, and we welcome the community’s interest,” she said.

UVic, which owns the six-hectare site on Arbutus Road, purchased the property for academic use as it relates to the school’s mission. However, what that expansion will look like remains to be seen. The meeting tonight is in the lower hall at St. George’s (3909 ST. Georges Ln.) at 7 p.m.
