Description: "The term 'community architecture' refers to the process of bringing residents and planners together in partnership to address the development needs of a neighbourhood. Residents, rather than planners or developers, take the lead role in determining the acceptable criteria for future neighbourhood development. This requires residents to be active in the planning process, rather than simply reacting to proposed plans and regulatory amendments at public hearings."

"Orchard Neighbourhood" is a relatively old, established community, comprising of a 12-block area in the Town of Sidney located on Vancouver Island. It lies on the south side of Sidney's central commercial district.
