Tonight's #CSaan Council meeting should be "interesting" - they'll vote on the #CivicRedevelopment scheme after the March09 fiery & contentious PublicHearing. 🎇🔥🎆
Community consensus seems to indicate Council's plan is deeply unpopular, but they're forging ahead anyway.

An at-times raucous Council meeting/ #PublicHearing in #CSaan last night, made for an interesting evening.
One speaker questioned if the high number of redacted documents over the Municipality's civic redevelopment scheme was "our own Epstein files". 😲

There are still a few hours left to provide input on the Mt Newton Multi-Use Pathway designs in Central Saanich. Survey closes at end of day today. www.surveymonkey.com/r/FGCSP2C?li... #yyjbike #csaan
Whelp, the beef dips at Orr’s sold out in less than an hour today. That might be a new record.
Foggy cold comfort food weather! #CSaan

Photo of the night sky with one faint beam of fog and perhaps some faint purple lights.
Well, I tried to see if my camera would pick up the Northern Lights… but I think I just saw fog beams and light pollution from street lights.
But I can pretend?

Many are back to SCU,ȻEL today - so here is a great Youtube on learning SENĆOŦEN (the language of W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples) by MENEŦIYE.
I am so grateful to MENEŦIYE’s family, who have shared their language and worldviews with me.

Oh good, the power is out. #CSaan
The *cutout* went bang! (NOT a transformer lol - my electrician friend gets so mad at that).
It's twilight in the forest, and as I'm getting something outside, the distinct mewling of a baby kitten came from a dark area under the trees.
Nope. Not falling it for it.
(To be clear, there is zero chance that it is a kitten, but it's definitely from the cat family.😬) #CSaan
Sidewalk/bike lane project on my street is 90% complete! The number of people cycling/walking by today is incredible. I’m excited to be able to safely walk to the coffee shop/butcher/mailbox… the entire vibe of the neighbourhood changed overnight. ❤️ #CSaan

We walked out of a recent meeting in the Centennial building, to find a “hive” of activity on the bush out front.
We love our #pollinators - if only we had our own real hive, so we could enjoy fresh honey! ;)
