In many ways we feel we are residents of Oak Bay as well, as our family participates in and uses so many of the facilities, businesses, activities and public spaces of Oak Bay. The quality of life here is incredible and we love our neighbourhood. I want to tell you - the new high school sounds wonderful. I am in very impressed with the your wonderful vision of just what this new school could mean, not only to future students, but to the community as a whole. I am excited, as a parent of two young childen (the oldest attends Willows School), at the idea of students having a beautiful, bright new school with upgraded arts and athletics facilities. I am impressed as a citizen and neighbour with your vision of sustainable building and all the various community facilities (childcare, community kitchen, etc.). I am a high school teacher in the Greater Victoria School District, and I am so pleased to see a community making education a priority. I am also coordinator of the South Jubilee Neighbourhood Association and I love to see the vision of integrating various segments of the community into one building. It sounds to me like this new school help to make our community more creative, healthy, connected, integrated and happy. It sounds wonderful!

I'm going to add a survey to this site soon, to offer people a place to share their priorities, and then vote on what's suggested. Thanks for coming to the forum, and participating in the process! Let's hope we can engage and inspire many more Oak Bay residents to join us in building this exciting project!

Some priorities for me as a community member, now and for many years to come: performing arts theatre, visual and media arts facilities, one good sports field, community kitchen that rec centre programs and seniors groups can use, multi-purpose room for meeting rentals and open outdoor space that makes the most of the creek area and existing trees.
