A Vancouver Story:
Learnings from a Livable City
Gordon Price is the Director of the City Program at Simon Fraser University.
In 2002, he finished his sixth term as a City Councillor in Vancouver, BC. He also served on the Board of the Greater Vancouver Regional District (Metro Vancouver) and was appointed to the first board of the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority (TransLink) in 1999.
Assistant Professor Benjamin Ibarra Sevilla contributed images in this exhibition documenting the restoration of Santo Domingo de Guzmán and the Open Chapel of Teposcolula in Oaxaca, Mexico to the school’s Visual Resources Collection (VRC).
The Visual Resources Collection will be offering group darkroom orientations throughout the semester; all UTSOA students are welcome to use the darkroom after first attending an orientation session. Orientation sessions are intended to familiarize students who have previous darkroom experience with the UTSOA Darkroom.
If you have any questions—or if you are interested in other VRC resources and workshops related to darkroom or digital photography—please contact VRC Photography TA Katie Slusher (katie.slusher11@gmail.com)

The Adirondack Park is the largest protected area in the Lower Forty-Eight. Wolf’s study of the real estate deal that resulted in its single largest expansion in one hundred years sheds light on political, legal and economic dimensions of the construction of multifunctional landscapes. The novel redistribution of property rights highlights opportunities for creativity in environmental governance and raises critical questions about limits to plasticity of both landscapes and institutions.
Event will take Place in Sutton Hall room 2.114.
