Lead by Geography faculty and City of Victoria staff, Geog 491 #biketoria provides students a unique applied learning experience focusing on active transportation planning. The course will be built around student projects that directly support research, outreach, and other needs of the City, with respect to the ambitious plan to build an all ages and abilities cycling network connecting each neighbourhood in Victoria by 2018. Offered at a downtown location, Geog 491 represents an exciting pilot for the the region’s new Civic Studio initiative, affording a space for community embedded learning.
