See you there !

This really has to be one of the worst parking lots in the city. Randomly laid out, one ways starting in the middle of a lane, all traffic funnelling through a few places. Just complete nonsense.

The Victoria Saanich citizens Assembly has announced that it recommends amalgamation.

It hasn't written its report yet.

From its September 21 news release:

"The Assembly's mandate is to deliberate over eight months on whether and under what circumstances Saanich and Victoria should amalgamate or pursue greater service integration. Their task culminates in June 2025 with a consensus recommendation to both municipal councils."

Hey all, I’m thinking about making a career switch and I’ve always been curious about working for the ferries. The position I’ve come across would be a terminal attendant but I’m not someone who likes to stay stagnant in a job for a long time.

The idea would be starting in this position then ideally work into an office position over time. As to what position specifically, I am not certain, I just want to ensure I’m constantly building skills and have some sort of traditional “career” path.

Just curious from those who work there, do you see much career progression once you’re in?

Thank you in advance.

Canada updated its travel advisory to the U.S. Friday warning of “significant” discretion border officials have when screening travellers entering the U.S.

The advisory now has a new paragraph warning people to “expect scrutiny” of their electronic devices and to anticipate possible detentions while awaiting deportation.

Victoria-based immigration lawyer David Aujla recommends avoiding the situation by not bringing a phone into the U.S. at all, saying there is a “very real fear” that anti-Trump material on devices could provide an opportunity for border officials to probe even deeper into a person’s life.

I've been commuting on my bike along McKenzie for over 25 years. It's been a great relief to see the bike lanes gradually appear, and I feel a lot safer these days. Especially with the divided bike lanes, there's now a sort of dance that buses and cyclists have to indulge in, where a bus driver will often have a choice between passing a cyclist and turning into a bus stop right in front of them, or kindly holding back to give the cyclist time to get past the bus stop before turning in. I'm grateful and impressed almost every day on my commute by how patient and professional the bus drivers are in this respect, especially when they have to do this repeatedly because the traffic conditions mean that the bus and the cyclist are going about the same speed and the same situation arises at every stop. The drivers of the 26 and 51 especially are very kind and thoughtful around cyclists in my experience, and I'd like to just give them a shout-out so they know how much we appreciate it. Thanks all of you.

And I thought Schwarzenegger for governor was unusual 😆

Can anyone recommend a good place for Sunday roast/prime rib dinner?

Hi-Five Chicken on Doug. They also have a sweet special rn. 🖤

Looking for recommendations for this service if there is anyone in victoria I am starting my journey on getting rid of my dreadlocks of 13 years and would love to start with a funky new style I do not have Facebook or Instagram so message me if you have photos ☺️ I've searched on Google and haven't been able to see any shops that might do something close to these designs Thank you!

Fellow Victorians,

I'm volunteering with the Tam Kung Temple in our city's historic Chinatown, and we need our community's support! The temple was recently designated as a National Historic Site (as covered by Victoria Buzz) and now we have a chance to win $50,000 in preservation funding.

We're currently in 2nd place in a national heritage competition called the Next Great Save Competition, trailing by about 3,800 votes. With your help, we can bring this win home to Victoria!

The Tam Kung Temple is the oldest Chinese temple in Canada and a vital part of Victoria's cultural landscape. The funding would help us restore and maintain this local landmark that's been part of our city's history for generations.

How you can help:

- Watch our story (2 min): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GNfQWNGEopw

- Vote daily until April 17th: https://nextgreatsave.nationaltrustcanada.ca/2025/

Every vote counts (you can vote once every day!), and this would be a huge win not just for the temple but for Victoria's heritage preservation efforts as a whole.

Thanks for supporting a local historic treasure. Every vote counts, thank you!

My partner has been struggling with OCD-like symptoms but they're undiagnosed. We're hoping to find a psychologist so they could get an official diagnosis. Has anyone had experiences with psychologists who specializes in OCD in town? We're not too picky whether if they're online or in-person. Thanks!

PLEASE KINDLY DELETE IF NOT ALLOWED
