On Thursday, April 11, 2024, students, faculty, and City of North Vancouver community members gathered at the CapU Lonsdale campus for HUBBUB #9. For this showcase, student presenters were part of a CityStudioNV class collaboration for the Spring of 2024 and were selected as presenters for HUBBUB #9. It would not have been possible without the unwavering support of faculty members and city partners for continuing to challenge our students from the planning to the execution of their projects.
