RECENT EVENTS

Taking steps towards the new landscape plan for the cemetery and environs - work in progress for our parish ...

Sunday, May 6, a Lab Workshop of the Vanier School Greenies led by Don Chamberlain, Head of the Project Watershed Mapping Division was held in their Courtenay office.

Don showed the students how to take the GPS coordinates they had taken in the field (i.e. St. Andrew's Cemetery) and convert this data on computer into a map that you can overlay onto an air photo of the St. Andrew's properties

Then he showed how you can integrate this tree location information into the survey site plan that Hoerburger Land Surveyors have recently completed for us of our St. Andrew's properties. This will all lead towards the new landscape plan for the cemetery and environs that we are working on for our parish.
