I think it is unacceptable for first responders to have to wait for leftover vaccines.
LETTER: Confrontation shows need for solution in the woods

LETTER: Confrontation shows need for solution in the woods

The anger and frustration hatefully unleashed by industry workers on Indigenous land defenders at the Walbran Watch camp last week, speaks directly to the urgent need for government to invest public funding towards a just transition strategy that supports workers and communities to get off old-growth logging.
LETTER: Switch to fibre optic carries consequences

LETTER: Switch to fibre optic carries consequences

Telus is forcing everyone in our neighbourhood to adopt their high fibre optic cable. While this will likely provide an improvement/upgrade for internet and TV service, the main reason for it is it saves Telus money. This is, however, a huge step backwards in emergency preparedness for our rural community.

LETTER: Reducing parking requirements will bring gridlock

This is in reference to the letter titled B次元官网网址淪aanich housing strategy leads to conflicting policies.B次元官网网址 We moved to Saanich from North Vancouver recently.

LETTER: Finding a compromise on pickleball

Last week, the Community Association of Oak Bay (CAOB) wrote to council to express our significant concerns about the extremely limited opportunities for public visioning and engagement in the process to establish the next 30-year lease for the Oak Bay marina and redevelop the Spewhung/Turkey Head site, foreshore and waters.
LETTER: Time to abolish 55-plus age-restricted buildings

LETTER: Time to abolish 55-plus age-restricted buildings

All ages and demographics are feeling the strain of the housing shortage, yet our governments continue to allow age-based discrimination by allowing buildings reserved for only those who are 55-plus.
LETTER: Mask enforcers making things worse

LETTER: Mask enforcers making things worse

I recently encountered a lady who was struggling to breath through her mask in the drug store. I asked her if she was OK, to which she responded that she had terrible asthma and found it very hard to breath through a mask. I suggested that she not wear one. To which she replied, B次元官网网址淚t is so hard to cope when people are constantly telling her to B次元官网网址榃ear a mask!B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址
