A social media post from Esquimalt Ribfest organizers, offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who used fake 3D-printed beverage tokens to steal about $2,000 from childrens' charities during this past weekend's Ribfest
Ripping off childrens' charities? "Lowlife" is too polite a term for that. Let's find these people and get some justice for the kids -Scott

Years ago some locals decided to put on a show for the Google Maps car while it went down Metchosin Rd, and now it appears that Google have decided to blur out the silly but harmless prank. βΉοΈ
