We need your help to tell transit commissioners that airport service should come alongside all-day 71 service, which would give Sidney residents and ferry riders an all-day direct downtown connection. Transit doesn't have to be zero-sum.

Victoria’s Draft Financial Plan proposes cutting the Youth Bus Pass Program. 70% of eligible teens use it. Cutting it would harm safety, equity and independence. Email mayorandcouncil@victoria.ca to tell them to keep it, along with Bike Valet and Neighbour Space.

The Cowichan Tribes debate is quickly becoming an international culture war issue, which means any attempt by someone to try and clarify facts, timelines or arguments by the people materially involved in the actual discussion will not matter in slightest.
But literally none of this is correct.

We're pleased that after last night's vote, the draft Quadra-McKenzie Plan will now move forward to round 4 of public consultation.
However, we're concerned about the hostile reception many supporters of the plan, particularly young people, received from other members in the audience.

so I was here, and I gotta say that "NIMBYs who boo and shout at the mayor" are our staunchest allies in the fight for more housing
I was stunned at how rude some were: 4 of us got verbally harassed by QMP opponents. One later accused me of being a "piece of garbage" developer-funded "paid actor"

Yes! There is no city boundary cut off. The downside right now is that without a docking station, if you pause your trip, your rental charge continues. Hopefully some neighbouring municipalities feel encouraged to join in. Until then, it’s still a lovely ride as long as you like.

This is what happens when our cities don't build enough housing. 1400 homes get built in the far exurbs of our cities (in this case Cle Elum) on 800 acres of forest land. Deforestation alone doesn't account for the emissions from vehicles commuting in and out of these homes, either.
