Phase one of the Guichon Alley project is about bringing awareness of the value of well preserved urban creeks. The alley between buildings NE6 and NE8 has been renamed to pay tribute to the beautiful Guichon Creek.
During the fall of 2013, the BCIT Interior Design students under the leadership of Dixie Hudson worked with BCIT staff in order to bring more “creek” awareness to the users of the alley. Their suggestion: a photo display looking at the history of Guichon Creek. Watch the video produced by the students.
