    Pieces of art are such amazing creations for the simple fact that they are truly a manifestation and pure embodiment of so many different aspects of one’s life. An art piece is like a web, it begins with the telling of a story, and as time goes on, that story grows, evolves, and cumulates. It is for this reason that public art has become such an integral part of many communities, including that of the University of Victoria. All across the campus there lives a wide array of outdoor public art pieces.

  • Apple Orchard

    In 2008, a group of Environmental Studies students in ES 341, Ecological Restoration, initiated an agricultural restoration project on the neglected CJVI Lands apple orchard. Their intention was to reconnect university course-work to the university's landscape through hands-on, experiential learning. They pruned 14 trees and built bee boxes to encourage pollination. One of these students, Ellie Knight, produced the map below to record which trees have been pruned and by whom.

    About

    Located in the basement of the SUB, the UVSS Food Bank & Free Store is run by a team of dedicated staff and volunteers and offers all UVic students access to food essentials and free household items.

    With rising costs of tuition, housing, childcare, and food, we do what we can to provide this essential support to undergrad and grad students. Extra resources are available for students supporting families.
