Here in Victoria, we remember the tireless work of Eddy Charlie and Kristin Spray, whose dedication is a key reason why Orange Shirt Day is so widely recognized in our community, and also a reason why the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is now a statutory holiday.

NEW: Ever heard of a grätzloase? It means “neighbourhood oasis”– a miniature park replacing a parking space, aka parklets. With the blessing of city hall, more than 100 of them have sprung up across Vienna since 2015. And in theory, anyone in Vienna can build one. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘Why would you take away a parking place?’: the city where anyone can build an urban oasis
Grätzloasen – low-cost, urban ‘parklets’ built by volunteers – are on the rise in Vienna as sceptics are being won over by the splash of welcome greenery and boost to community spirits

The North Park neighbourhood is not at risk from tsunamis but it's important to have a plan for seismic events & to stay away from coastal areas during tsunamis. If you're travelling in coastal areas, familiarize yourself with local Tsunami Zones, alerting apps & evacuation routes. #yyj #BCTsunami 🌊
🌊 Yesterday, there was a tsunami advisory for Victoria and other coastal areas of B.C.
While there were no damaging waves, here’s what you can do to prepare:
✅ Get to know the tsunami hazard zone
✅ Subscribe to Vic-Alert
✅ Sign up for a free emergency preparedness workshop
