We had a great time welcoming old and new friends, and industry colleagues to our dys Victoria open house last month. Though we've been settling into our historic Market Square office for almost a year now, we were excited to officially open our doors to welcome folks from the Victoria development community and show off our new digs. Thanks to everyone who came through--we're glad to be a part of the community and looking forward to working together!    

 

DYS was thrilled to attend the ceremonial ribbon-cutting event for Phase 1 of lelem Village.

This phase is comprised of three buildings containing 173 rental units, neighbourhood shops, and outdoor gathering spaces for the community. Congratulations to the Musqueam community for this important milestone achievement!
