Recently, when I was working at a local retail store, a woman came in wearing a crocheted hat and scarf. I complimented her on her hat and she told me it was made by a friend.

A big thank you to the person who took the time to drive to our residence to leave my wifeB次元官网网址檚 wallet in our mailbox after finding it in downtown Victoria.

Recently the brand new mayor of North Saanich has shown an appalling lack of knowledge about his municipality and the general functioning of local government.

The holiday season is a time for celebrations, but for many, it can also be the season of loneliness, stress and difficult memories.

The recent unanimous decision to allow a single-family home on Richmond Road to be replaced with nine townhomes leaves the tinny sound of ditto echoing through the halls of Saanich municipal hall.

The plight of the young woman facing parking hurdles on Florence Street is just the beginning of that problem.

Something needs to be done along Canora Road in front of MaryB次元官网网址檚 Restaurant. So many times I see people crossing the road in the middle of the block, not at the crosswalk. This is dangerous for drivers and pedestrians as well as being illegal. To me, itB次元官网网址檚 a matter of time until someone gets hit, especially in the fall and winter when itB次元官网网址檚 dark earlier.

Thank you for your thoughtful Nov. 24 editorial about welcoming people who choose to come to Canada. My family made that choice in 1840 when they came here from Ireland to build a better life. We have prospered for seven generations and we are very grateful.

At about 5 p.m. on Nov. 15, at the pedestrian crossing on the south-side corner of Bevan Avenue and Fifth Street in Sidney, I had a very bad fall while crossing the road.
