In his letter on developing a strategy to address biodiversity, Saanich Coun. Zac de Vries indicates that there has been “some misunderstanding and misinterpretation in the community related to the mapping” and goes on to mention ground truthing.

I have been a resident of Central Saanich for eight years and lucky to have grown up on the Peninsula. Now, I have the pleasure of raising my family which includes two children, who both attend Keating Elementary School.

I am delighted to see the addition of Salish names for the parks in the CRD. I just have one request. I would like to see a phonetic spelling under the Salish name in order to be able to refer to the park appropriately.

Surely by now Canadians have had enough of this comic opera monarchy nonsense.

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.
