Five Corners and Banners Project

Five Corners Project

The FGCA made a successful application to the City of Victoria's Greenways Program to enhance the pedestrian and bike intermix around the Oscar St dead-end. After months of planning and community meeting sessions, the 5 Points Corner Regeneration Project completed construction of the first phase. Now our attentions are directed across the street, where the second stage of constuction is underway.

Dear Neighbours of the Fairfield Gonzales Community,
Much has already been done to modernize, improve, and beautify the architecture, buildings, and foliage of the Moss & Fairfield Streets 5 Corners. The Fairfield UnitedChurch congregation is delighted to participate in this improvement with the beautification of our church community’s frontage.

The Fairfield congregation contracted Aitken Design to draft a pedestrian-friendly frontage to the FairfieldUnitedChurch property. This plan includes more trees, shrubs, and flowering greenery with two public comfort benches for passing pedestrians. It will have the ambience of a place of rest and reflection on our busy street corner. .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fairfield Banners

Also, the FCA made another successful application to the City of Victoria's Matching Grant Program Banner pilot initiative. This project looks at erecting approximately 20 banners on the telephone poles along the intersections of Fairfield and Moss.

They’re Up! Come down to the Five Points to check them out.

The Fairfield Community Association, in partnership with the City of Victoria and local artist Sara Amos created a banner image which have been installed at our Five Points Corner (where Moss, Fairfield and Oscar meet). The colourful prints reflect the true beauty of springtime in Fairfield, so
shake off those winter blues and take some time to check them out.
Thank you to The Big Bold Banner Company and their installer for helping beautify our community.
