I’m really pleased that my motion to revive the process of building a new Crystal Pool is moving ahead!! It’s going to referendum, where we’ll ask voters for permission to borrow the funds and we’ll give voters a few options on where to put the pool. #yyj https://www.timescolonist.com/local-news/victoria-eyes-referendum-to-kick-start-crystal-pool-replacement-6520364
Victoria eyes referendum to kick-start Crystal Pool replacement

City council voted unanimously Thursday to have staff dust off budgets and plans for a new centre to replace a 52-year-old facility.

Laying off 4 reporters at Capital Daily has sparked a conversation around journalism. Is it time for citizen journalism to fill the gaps if we aren't willing to pay for journalism? #yyj #yyjpoli #VictoriaBC
@deemathes @HolstJarrett @bntly perhaps time for a community owned and community minded news outlet?
@HolstJarrett @bntly at the end of the day it's still a business, so if the community doesn't pay, then we don't get the news we want.
@bntly will the community step up now to fill that void?
Hearing news this morning that several Capital Daily reporters have been laid off. This is definitely an issue on news coverage on Vancouver Island. #yyj #yyjpoli #VictoriaBC
@HolstJarrett @deejayh67 @vsp well it passed and I believe the sun still rose the next day.
It’s official!! The City of Victoria has passed the Missing Middle Housing Initiative. This change allows 6-units on every single-family lot in the city, and up to 12 on corner (double) lots. The policy has excellent provisions to protect green space (45% site coverage), requires two 3-bed units, requires accessible units and at least one suite in condo buildings. This innovative policy will be studied worldwide and will result in climate-smart housing and vibrant neighborhoods. #yyj #yyjpoli
@vsp thought it was coffee drinking poo!
@deejayh67 @vsp if I had to bring my negative self out for a moment, from an age perspective, those who will vote against MM tonight are some decades older than I am. There are no scenarios that I can see where doing nothing would help an aging population (including those on council) age in place and have the appropriate resource/demographic to help cater to those needs.
