Is this the kind of environment we want in Greater #VictoriaBC?

"There were nine collisions on Aug. 11 alone, and there were 61 in the month through Tuesday."

Thank you #Saanich and Victoria for slowing drivers and increasing opportunities for active and public transportation.

I'm going location scouting for a public accessible place with rain shelter/covered area for the inaugural #SocialBC Mastodon meet-up. It will be picnic style, I'll provide some snacks & drinks. Aiming for late April/early May date & will update well in advance. It's open to all members of SocialBC & anyone else who wants to attend & already on Fediverse or interested in joining us. It will be in #VictoriaBC #Saanich or #Westshore area - depending on how my scouting goes.

It will be outdoors in #CovidSafe environment.

I'm organizing this by myself & will likely need some volunteers help closer to the date for setup & cleanup.

Planning is underway for a new #HighSchool in north #Langford as the student population continues to boom as the #WestShore attracts more families.

The proposed high school will be built on a 12-acre site in the #CityGateway area near Costco that #BCgovernment acquired 4 years ago for $20 million.

The facility includes an all-weather sports field with lights funded by the City of Langford and a theatre that could become a focal point for the arts on the West Shore.

One last post and then I'm off to bed. But I have one question:

Why is this worthy of a news article? I have no idea whatsoever why this is a news article. Are you kidding me?!?
