March 27th, 2024, marks National WIL Day, and in honour of National WIL Month, we would like to announce, in partnership with CapU WIL, the Partner of the Year Award.

In addition to the Partner of the Year Award, CityStudioNV has a big announcement to make:

This coming Fall, we will be celebrating five years of CityStudioNV. Over the past five years, we have created over 103 collaborations and 620 projects and worked with over 92 partners, 77 faculty members, and 2500 students, and we are continuously growing.

Students in GEOG 210 (Natural Hazards) are collaborating with North Shore Emergency Management (NSEM) to develop and present conceptions for a digital story map focusing on the eight identified priority hazards for the North Shore.

North Shore Emergency Management (NSEM) is an inter-municipal agency that has provided emergency management services for the City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, and District of West Vancouver since 1978.

We are beyond excited to announce the Spring 2023 collaborators! Please give a warm welcome back to our partners: Museum and Archives of North Vancouver City of North Vancouver Silver Harbour Seniors' Activity Centre North Van Arts North Shore Emergency Management North Vancouver Recreation & Culture and North Vancouver City Library
