More overnight shelter spaces are coming to the Victoria Native Friendship Centre in Saanich.
Provincial funding means the Centre can add 25 new temporary shelter beds to offer immediate relief and support to more people in need in our community.

Thanks @susankimyyj.bsky.social - the water commission is so important for the whole region - we need to take care of our award winning drinking water! The commission is a great group making evidence based decisions. Appreciate you sharing the good news!
Shoutout to @marywagnerlangford.bsky.social for moving forward this motion arising. She’s one of my favourite commissioners; I hope everyone in Langford knows how hard she works for us all at the Regional Water Supply Commission.

This was disappointing and hopefully the decision can be reversed. I am behind Saanich and the Victoria Native Friendship Centre 100%!
Mayor and Council will be advocating strongly to have this decision reversed.
Victoria Native Friendship Centre does incredible work and funding would allow them to double their shelter capacity which is very needed!

One of the top issues I hear about is the lack of family doctors in our rapidly growing city. I am thrilled that we were able to work with the South Island Primary Care Society and the Masons to find a creative solution and bring doctors to downtown Langford!

Multisolving with parks - I love it!
A park is a prime example of “multisolving”: one intervention that fixes a bunch of problems at once.

Mayors are making climate action personal. It's working.
As the Trump administration boosts fossil fuels and rolls back regulations, mayors are greening their cities — in more ways than one.
