The “Lynda & Murray Farmer Walk of Excellence” was officially opened today in the new CARSA building. The new showcase walkway—lined with Vikes athletics photographs, historic memorabilia and success stories—celebrates the talent, history and accomplishments of Vikes athletes, coaches and supporters while also honouring the legacy of former UVic Chancellor Murray Farmer and his wife, Lynda.

"We are honoured to have Lynda and Murray Farmer's names associated with this project and are very grateful for their generous support of UVic," says Clint Hamilton, director of Vikes Athletics and Recreation. "This new walkway is our opportunity to share the Vikes history and stories of past achievements and individuals who built the foundation for our program, while ensuring that current and future generations are inspired to embrace the challenges and opportunities associated with continuing this tradition of excellence."
