‘Natural Growth’ The Story of Dockside Green

Dockside Green makes a bold statement: sustainability is the future.

We agree.

To make this video, our team interviewed scores of movers and shakers in the community, all dedicated to a green future.  The mayor of Victoria, Selkirk’s architect, and a prominent Smart Growth lawyer made the final list.

The video has been shown in many settings from the classroom to the big screen.  It received the ‘People’s Choice’ award at an Eco Documentary film festival held in Victoria, BC.

This documentary tells the story of a unique development in Victoria, BC. While other developments meet the minimum standards of sustainability, Dockside uses this as a first principle. It follows a ‘triple bottom line’ approach, where equal weight is given to ecology, economics and society. Occupying water front property near Victoria’s downtown core, it has become the pride of the city and receives visitors from around the world.
