As a loyal resident of Victoria, I have attended the Saanich Fair since 1992 when we moved here. I thought this was a family event! Never have I experienced children not being allowed to enter an event at the fair, and also being turned away by a security guy in uniform.
I asked the Central Saanich Police to let me sit on one of their chairs and they refused. I had to pull a bench into the shade to sit. As always the sun comes out for the fair, and there needs to be a shaded area for seniors who canB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t be expected to lie on the grass or walk and stand all the time.
That was the beauty of the dining room in the Pavillion to find a seat, and sit awhile enjoying the entertainment.
Where are the values of the fair's organizers? Agricultural show, fairground, beer tent.
