I was greatly pleased to see your recent issue with a story on the film shot on Island. The crew pictured were filming in my barn last December.

Re: “Australian wildfires a climate wake-up call” editorial in the Jan. 17 edition of the Victoria News .

Were I to make an argument regarding the modal prejudice of the City of Victoria it would start with a defence of the pedestrian. In most cities there is a modal hierarchy stated by council.

I must say it is extremely disappointing to see so many of my fellow cyclists and some cycle groups not use their common sense and feel their wants outweigh the rights of other park or trail users. Their behaviour affects the long-term health of the environs used by all living things.

I want to congratulate the work crew of Oak Bay for their excellent service in clearing the streets during the heavy snow we received last week.

Many thanks for your Jan. 15 edition, the best one in years in my opinion. A wide variety of readable articles on local news and beyond. Also, I’ve been enjoying articles by a Mr. Greg Knill, someone I’ve never heard of. I had stopped reading Tom Fletcher many months ago. Keep up the good work!

Once again, we see the continued waste of tax money being spent on the Crystal Pool project.
