Your recent editorial talked about the increasing fragility of democracy and the importance of monitoring government and speaking out when one has concerns about decisions of those in leadership roles.

I would like to express my profound gratitude to a Good Samaritan who helped me, an 83-year-old woman, last week. I was walking on Dallas Road when I fell backwards off my rollator and could not get up.

Construction is set to begin on the Keating overpass on the Pat Bay Highway.

Saanich council is adding to the cost of inflation instead of combating it – 7.19% is a huge tax increase in one year on top of all the previous increases.

We all have the right to access and understand evidence, especially when that evidence is being used to make decisions that impact our lives. However, knowing what evidence to trust is not easy in today’s complicated information landscape.

Saanich recognizes the need to improve the resilience of ecosystems and enhance biodiversity.

I want to commend the YYJ Airport Authority for their recent improvement of etiquette signage on the Flightpath multi-use pathway. I refer to the painting of paired pedestrian and bicycle symbols on the pavement. The intent is to draw attention to and promote that the pathway is for the shared use of both.

Kudos to William Wallace ( Letters , April 20 ) for bringing up the issue of high municipal spending in times of run-away costs, especially food prices and mortgage rates.
