While clearing the course at UVIC, I met with Claudia who is with the UVIC Restoration of Natural Systems program and she was concerned with the long term plan for maintaining the course, as well as the orchard which is a cultural heritage site.  We are going to make a website dedicated to the property, and the history of the area.  We are overlaying aerial photographs and maps to show the change over the years, and hope that it's popularity will attract a strong resonance in the community to prevent the UVIC Cedar Hill Property from being developed for student housing.

This is from her email response:

I was also in touch with the UVic Sustainability Office (a branch of Facilities Management) and got back the following from Sarah Webb (UVic Sustainability coordinator) when I asked for info regarding the future plans for the orchard:
-----------------------------
"We [the Facilities and planning people] are actually meeting this morning for a 4 hour planning session related to campus planning and sustainability. The "University Cedar Hill Corner" (the recently adopted new name for CJVI lands) is on the list to discuss. I will definitely bring up the idea of a plant salvage -- perhaps to be used in a naturescape project here in the main part of campus.

Please note that at this time there are no plans for any particular use of that property. From what I understand, the disc golfing was for a set period of time but it was always the understanding that the University may choose to use that land for whatever purpose. As outlined in the 2003 campus plan, before any long term use or major development of this area, there will be a master plan undertaken -- this would of course include community consultation."
----------------------

I just thought you should be in the loop about this since you are doing actual maintenance work on the site.

 

It clearly appears that we are not granted a course, and this is a temporary thing, so we really need to play it often, and call our representatives and get Victoria a real 18 hole disc golf course.

Today Saanich Parks and Rec took a group of ten kids out to the course at UVIC for a SUmmer Camps program, which I and my kids helped facilitate by showing them the course and providing real golf discs.  This is really a valuable resource for the community and Disc Golf is such a fast growing sport that we should look at getting a pro course now, not when UVIC decides to pull our last course.
