I was writing a letter in response to Mr. ElliottB次元官网网址檚 letter supporting greater density in Saanich, adding the crying need for green space. I turned a few pages and read the article about Coun. Zac de Vries and the 3-30-300 rule concerning the accessibility to green space in Saanich.

Our Senate is going to debate the passing of Bill C-12 which addresses CanadaB次元官网网址檚 continuing role in environmental accountability and setting our standards to address the climate crises.

Please add my name to what IB次元官网网址檓 sure is a very, very long list of those who are vehemently opposed to the cancellation of Canada Day celebrations in Victoria.

I am very concerned about the RCMP special force that has been sent to extract forest defenders from the woods in the Port Renfrew and Lake Cowichan areas on southern Vancouver Island. Things are going from bad to worse.
