The Old Cemeteries Society of Victoria is holding a Father’s Day walk with Sunday the 21st starting at 2pm at the Starbucks in Fairfield Plaza. It is hosted by Mayor Chris Causton and will lead people to graves of notable Oak Bay residents. Cost is $5 for non-members, $2 for members. If you miss this one, there are lots more tours this summer on different subjects.

Oak Bay sewage forum tomorrow night

After popular demand by our very own John Herbert, the CRD has added a public consultation in Oak Bay tomorrow evening at Emmanuel Baptist Church (2121 Cedar Hill X Rd (google map), right by the entrance to UVic) between 3pm and 8pm. As Cllr Herbert said:

“If they’re proposing to have one of these sites in Oak Bay, then they need to have a meeting in Oak Bay to allow the residents to have their say.”

While I disagree with John Herbert on a great many issues, this is one of the few of them that we actually agree on. See you all tomorrow night.
