Emergency Warming Tent and Bus OPEN

❄️ The City is opening overnight emergency warming tents and a bus in response to freezing temperatures in Victoria.

People who drive a motor vehicle: agree or disagree?

When you are driving a car, you are driving a deadly weapon.
That's why you have to avoid pedestrians and bicycles, *even if the cyclist or pedestrian is breaking laws.*
The law gives them right of way.
You're driving a weapon and they aren't.

You need to hear the goal call in Inuktitut.

Locations:
📍 Tent and bus: St. John the Divine Church parking lot on Mason St. at Quadra St.
📍 Tent only: Bridgehead Green, on Wharf Street at the foot of Johnson Street, across from the Salvation Army ARC
🕗 Hours: Tonight, February 18, 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

At 16:45 GMT/17:45 CET the first Ariane 6 rocket with four boosters lifted off from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on 12 February, taking 32 Amazon Leo satellites to orbit.

💥💪4️⃣
The boosters used on Europe's rocket Ariane 6 are some of the most powerful one-piece solid-propulsion rocket motors in the world – and the latest liftoff saw Ariane 6 soar with four.

Come on people, make it so.

And also, dont insist it generate enough to pay for itself. It's a service, treat it like one.

If it can get to Langford, then maybe a future going over the Malahat ...

Oh man, Pacius, that hurts

It's a twisted perspective that we have a near universal 'hate' with parking enforcement and the bylaw officers enforcing it.

Instead, I would suggest remembering we have limited public space, owned by ALL of us, and we have these fine humans making sure this space is being used fairly.

This Team USA women’s team just had another shutout victory with another 5 goals. They are so close to matching the 98 Olympic team that scored 36 in just 6 games, but that team gave up 8 goals, and this team only 1 goal! 🤯 what we are getting to witness is the greatest display of women’s hockey

Detour via the trestle, unless you want to carry two lazyboys, a loveseat, a small shed amd 1000kg of steel downtown.

The direct Saanich comparison is quite something.

Chart showing that Victoria pays the most per capita in BC for policing costs.

Soon, the Chief of Police will be coming to City Council to discuss the budget.

CBC has claimed, using data from the Ministry of PSSG, that Victorians pay the highest cost per capita for policing in BC.

My questions are these:

1. Is this data factually accurate?
2. If yes, why is it the case?

Paved urban plaza with bench in the foreground and 2 people riding bikes in front of a background of plantings and urban art in the shape of huge metal flowers.

I LOVE that my city, Victoria, BC, Canada, keeps building out its protected bike lane network. This means:
1. We can get around easily, safely, and joyfully, avoiding the burden of car ownership
AND
2. We don’t have to spend endless hours begging the city for safe infrastructure. #yyj

City Permit Fee Holiday in Effect | City of Victoria

A reminder that Victoria implemented a permit fee holiday for the next 12 months.

*All* building-related fees are waived, including plumbing, electrical, development, etc.

Meant to offset high costs and account for changing regs. It’s covered by our dev. reserves.

A Gander post by @fastdogs that says visiting other social media raises their blood pressure, while Gander feels like a quiet coffee shop, with a coffee cup emoji at the end and engagement icons below the text.

A social media post from Gander Social by @balmoralgirl reading “Canadian winters are so beautiful,” above a four-image grid showing snowy trees, snow piled on branches and a deck railing, and sunlight filtering through a winter forest.

A post in the Gander app by @jess that reads, “Genuinely happy to scroll a feed that’s entirely Canadian. Different pace. Better conversations. Feels like home,” with a video thumbnail of a person wearing glasses speaking indoors.

A few posts from over on Gander Social (shared with permission, of course).

Like inviting your friends over to see your new place. And we can’t wait to invite everyone else by.

Please take this survey from BC Transit. We are seeking input on thoughts and priorities related to a proposed direct bus service from Victoria to YYJ.

What rating does Dimitry Bertaud get for his 7 saves vs. Tigres tonight? 🤔🧤 #CanPL #ConcaChampions

This you @pacificfc.bsky.social ?

No wonder there is a parliamentary e-petition demanding Canadian ownership of our News Media again – and it's taking off >> www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #Cdnpoli

Canada is bigger, stronger, and more prosperous when we’re united.

@pacificfc.bsky.social did you know there's a Canadian Premier League season starting soon?

Might want to reach out to people leading up to that.
