LETTER: DonBԪַt pass the worldBԪַs problems onto our children

A young friend of mine recently told me of a competition he was entering. Young people from Victoria schools were asked to make a five-minute pitch video to tell how they would solve one societal problem: global warming, homelessness, the opioid crisis, saving old-growth forests.
LETTER: Pier shouldnBԪַt be top priority

LETTER: Pier shouldnBԪַt be top priority

I am only a temporary resident but, in line with Coun. WainwrightBԪַs notice of motion, it would seem that serious monetary, not emotional, consideration must be given to the priority of the pier relative to other, more existential, needs.

I was aghast, shocked and very disappointed when I heard the music and truck-horn blasts. Are the organizer of the truck light parade not aware of the crisis of global warning?
LETTER: Provide parents with COVID test kits

LETTER: Provide parents with COVID test kits

I write to comment on Jane SkrypnekBԪַs article (Dec 1) on slow COVID contact tracing in schools. Kudos to the ladies who are actually doing something, but why on earth would the B.C. government treat schools differently from workplaces?

LETTER: Deadline needed for Tolmie pickleball

LETTER: Deadline needed for Tolmie pickleball

I would like to respond to the president of the Victoria Regional Pickleball AssociationBԪַs letter Nov. 24 asking neighbours of Tolmie Park to work with her to press Saanich to develop new pickleball courts to replace the ones at Tolmie. She acknowledged that pickleball is noisy and these courts are too close to the neighbours. She said she was seeking a compromise.
