Victoria Green Economy

The proposed research is a collaboration between Vancity, the City of Victoria, and the
University of Victoria to bring together the necessary information (financial, regulatory, and
knowledge, respectively) to build a plan that will initiate Victoria’s Green Economy. Interns will
be part of distinct interviewing panels that will research the needs, benefits, and obstacles of
the development of a green economy. With that necessary information the interns will
collaborate with the industry partners to devise strategic plans that would lead to a roadmap
of how a green economy can be developed in Victoria. The major work will be to identify the
drivers of a green economy and then how those drivers can be advanced in Victoria. This
research has yet to be done in Canada and will serve to complement sustainability work done
on the environment with a focus on the economic drivers.
