My name is Vincent Gornall. My wife, Francesca Smith-Jones*, and I have been living in Victoria, British Columbia since September 2009. Currently, I am a graduate student in the History Department at The University of Victoria. My thesis (in progress) is on urban renewal in the Victoria area, during the 1950s through 1970s. I have also designed and led several walking tours on urban themes:
Victoria Jane’s Walk 2012: Development, Redevelopment & Gentrification in Vic West
The City Walks – Labour Migration & The Creation of Ethnicity in Victoria
The City Walks II – Urban Renewal & The Politics of Exclusion in Victoria, B.C.
The City Talks III – History, Memory & the Urban Landscape

Would you be interested in writing a 500-700 word article for us about a Victoria neighbourhood? You will be able to use the article that you write for us for
your own blog, just as long as you state that it was originally published with us.
