Ahhhh the Island.
 
 Mr LM and I met in Victoria.  We've lived in James Bay and Quadra/Fernwood.  I tried to get him to move to Tofino but he said no (too much rain).

 really? wow. amazing. I'd take a view looking at a parliament or capitol over an ocean view really.

totally awesome.
bummer on Tofino. You know that display of Tofino at Royal BC? A guide told me that in all the years he'd work there, only one person never liked staring at it for hours. He told me that the guy said "that's my view outside of my backyard, I remember when they came by and took the picture to set up the display at the museum". I was blown away.

Downtown Victoria has a neat vibe.  You might end up there, SD- with your education in geography and planning.  They had some of the first cycling coalitions, car-share co-ops, barter exchanges... The gov't workers/activists sit in the bar and conjure up new ideas all the time.  It's a pretty tight-knit community, with people mainly working in govt/tourism/university or small business.

Sweet, sounds like my kind of place. I do like Victoria a lot.

Do they offer your program at UVic- or just UBC?  

[Sportsdude]

UBC
UVic is geared towards "aqua" planning or whatever the heck that is. They're marine intensive. SFU is "environmental" intensive and UBC just has freaking everything. I really don't see the big deal anymore in undergrad at the big schools. Yeah I'll think about it if I get in (which I won't) but I'm getting to involved over here with student stuff.
