Our team spent three months updating and creating three different projects. As a team, with different skills and backgrounds, we worked together and had one of the best summers ever! Here we are, posing in historic costume at Helmcken House...

As Project Manager for this web site, Troy's responsibilities included building this site from scratch. This was composed of developing the site concept and
layout, working with the curator and programmers to develop the site content,
and building site templates for development by other members of the team. He also worked extensively
to train team members and staff on the finer points of html and graphics
design.
Troy has a BA in Art History and a Diploma in Cultural Resource Management from the University of Victoria. He also has experience in Graphics Design and computer instruction.

Graham
NottGraham is working towards a BSc in Biology at the University of Victoria, although he has taken a diverse course load thus far. He has a passion for architecture, so he may be an architect. However, working with computers will always be part of his lifestyle. Travelling is his absolute favourite pastime, but he cut short his trip to Europe this summer for the opportunity to help create the Helmcken House site.
Graham would love to hear from you. His e-mail address is: gnott@uvic.ca (and he already knows his kilt is too low).

Jessica
YoungAs a native Victorian, Jessica had a great time learning about her city's history, while getting lost amongst piles of dusty archives records, and reels of microfilm. She created the Fort Life section, and greatly enjoyed working with the fabulous SchoolNet team. She is currently working on a Bachelor of Science in Geography at both Camosun College and the University of Victoria. Her passion is for environmental processes, such as hydrology, and meteorology as well as for resource management. As an avid outdoor enthusiast, and environmentalist she may be seen, hiking or mountain biking in the local area, or perhaps travelling through Europe next year. In closing she would like to thank SchoolNet for the great experience, and her co-workers for all the fun.
She would love to hear your comments and can be reached at young@pinc.com
