With increased reports of gun violence, some people believe that only police and military should have access to guns. This would, therefore, imply that they would only learn proficient firearm skills on the job.

A first-person account of Queen Elizabeth II’s service

As a child of 11, my family escaped the horrors of war in London and settled on Curry Road in Oak Bay. Having lived in Vancouver where I raised my family for over 74 years, I returned last November as a 93-year-old. Well, I am in love with Oak Bay all over again!

Canada is experiencing a health-care crisis and B.C. Is no exception.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely heritage house situated on a double lot on St. Patrick Street in the District of Oak Bay. The family that bought this old house consisted of two young professionals who attested they loved the old house as much as the previous owners who had happily lived there for many years. After living in the house for a short time, the new owners decided that they really wanted a more modern house.

While walking my dog on Sept 8, I walked around the lacrosse box and was disheartened by the signage upon the entrance. No skateboards, no street hockey, pickleballers only, with posted times. It might as well have said “No Children.”

Two things were evident to me from viewing Oak Bay council’s Sept. 8 public hearing.

Mayor Stew Young and several current councillors announced they were running in the next election under the banner of Community First. I have several questions.
