Projects

In keeping with our strategic vision to “support and preserve the vibrancy and sustainability of this special place for all the generations that are going to come”, we’re seeking your support to help us recognize and honour the past while creating new opportunities for you, your families, friends and visitors to experience the sublime beauty and abundance of this amazing site.

As a public university, Royal Roads funding focuses primarily on teaching, learning and research. While some funds are available for groundskeeping, philanthropic support is needed from the community in order to make many of the necessary significant infrastructure improvements to the hundred-year-old gardens.

In 2022, we hope to raise $250,000 to continue work underway and begin several large multi-year projects.
