A Grand Day Surveying the World!!
Beautiful views from the Ridge View Hamlet platform
Yes, with the great weather, we have been doing some preliminary layout of the lots, mostly in the Trailhead Hamlet, but also within the Ridge View areas. Tim Hewett, on the left, just finished his Master’s degree in sustainability planning, and is starting a volunteer internship with us. Currently he is compiling our GIS (Geographic Information Systems) data with our lot layout information, so that it can be handled more easily on a GPS (Global Positioning System). Now it is easier to envision where the homes will be located, where the central courtyard will be and how they relate to the Trans-Canada Trail and amenities.
We frequently have people offering to provide free assistance or technical/manual labor for this concept - and we appreciate this grassroots level of support. Alison Clark, one of our part-time administrative assistants also came to us initially through a year long volunteer internship that she did while she was finishing her degree at UVIC. Thanks to Tim and Alison for their generosity.
I also have really enjoyed the days spent bushwhacking and cutting line. This takes me back many years to when I did surveying/engineering work as my first job out of university.
