LETTER: Human activity not a significant factor in climate

LETTER: Human activity not a significant factor in climate

The author of the letter to the editor that appeared in the Feb. 3 Saanich BԪַ insisting that more needs to be done for the climate seems remarkably out of touch on climate science, real-world climate trends, the business world, and economics.
LETTER: Clover Point a perfect spot for a quick break

LETTER: Clover Point a perfect spot for a quick break

It is 4 a.m. and I am so angry at Victoria city council that I have to write this email.
LETTER: Vaccine delay no cause for alarm

LETTER: Vaccine delay no cause for alarm

Re: the delay in vaccine distribution. Seeing as how most media types these days are armchair doctors, vaccination and medical experts who in their minds could have done much better than the government in most aspects of the vaccine distribution, I have a question to ask.
LETTER: Lack of parking could drive up congestion around Saanich developments

LETTER: Lack of parking could drive up congestion around Saanich developments

When I lived in Portland, Ore. there was usually room to park for two hours in the metered spaces beside the downtown streets. Portland has a bylaw which states that buildings have to have enough parking stalls within the building to accommodate the people using the building.
LETTER: Leave Clover Point parking alone

LETTER: Leave Clover Point parking alone

Clover Point is well known to be one of the most consistently windy spots in the Capital Region, hence the frequent presence of kiters and paragliders there. In fact, there are times that it is so windy that kiters and paragliders, as well as cyclists and pedestrians, will not even dare to venture down to the waterBԪַs edge at Clover Point. And yet, people do enjoy going down to Clover Point on such days, in cars.

While a BԪַparkBԪַ like scenario with limited parking and walking access to Clover Point accompanied by picnic tables and other amenities sounds Utopian and appealing, the realities are different.
LETTER: Clover Point is perfect just that way it is

LETTER: Clover Point is perfect just that way it is

I am writing to express my disagreement with the recommendation that council approve the proposal to close the Clover Point Loop to traffic. I understand this is not currently open for public consultation, a point which I also strongly disagree with. The promise of public consultation at a later date, after the changes have already been made and paid for, also stings quite a bit.
