VIRTUAL FIELDTRIP
Attention all armchair travellers! Here's your chance to tour the site and learn more about the various features and amenities of the Sandown Centre. This virtual fieldtrip has been created by Olivia Delisle and Grayson Howard in the UVIC SOSC 300 class. Thank you both for your hard work and enthusiasm!
The Sandown Centre is located on the traditional lands of the WSÁNEĆ peoples.
We acknowledge the WSÁNEĆ peoples’ careful stewardship of these lands and waters
and the abundant local food system, nurtured over countless generations.
