I am responding to the news that the provincial government is paying out $50 million to support tourist attractions. I find it odd that there is money for the forest museum, but not for the forests. I find it odd that there is money for water parks, but not for watersheds.

Summer is in full swing and as the temperature increases, so do the number of residents who are enjoying the great outdoors. Whether it’s by bike, on foot or otherwise, Saanich is taking steps to ensure your safety through infrastructure improvements.

The traffic light on Cadboro Bay Road at Florence goes red too frequently. As an example, the lights at Foul Bay Road going towards the high school change to green, and right after the light at Florence goes red. One cannot make it through the light at Florence.

Your recent headline about Saanich Police failing to take reports of sexual assault seriously and mishandling cases brought to mind a bad memory for me.

Isn’t ICBC wonderful with its new low rates.

Something is missing from the illustration accompanying the recent article on proposals for the Beacon Avenue wharf in Sidney. Where is the fish market?

Inside lane of Ring Road would serve the purpose perfectly, writes longtime UVic walker

Vic News and MP Randall Garrison are both perfectly correct in your July 22nd issue. The B.C. government must make a move one way or the other on old-growth logging. And the Liberals must step up for the action directives of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Ah yes, lovely Victoria, where the soft carcinogenic-laced ocean breezes wafting from the multi-daily cruise ships have been sorely missed.
