The consultant team was greatly supported throughout the project process by the University Project Team, namely Scott Lamont, Susan Smale, and Steven Robinson, and the President, Gervan Fearon. The team was also assisted by Titus Lee, a Brandon University student in pursuit of a future in professional planning practice, who helped in the facilitation of events.
