Professor Heather Campbell re-appointed as SCARP's Director
We're pleased to now announce that Professor Heather Campbell has been reappointed as SCARP's Director for a second five-year appointment.
We acknowledge
UBC and the School of Community and Regional Planning gather and teach on the traditional ancestral and unceded territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people.
This acknowledgement is only the beginning of our due diligence: our commitment is shown not in our affirmations but our actions.
