Powerforward posted topic North Vancouver mayor proposes return-it deposit on cigarette butts

lpoutine,

Powerforward has just posted a new topic entitled "North Vancouver mayor proposes return-it deposit on cigarette butts" in forum "Urban Issues".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
A Metro Vancouver mayor is pitching a B.C.-wide return-it deposit for cigarette butts — similar to the fees charged for pop cans and beer bottles — as a way to keep the litter from contaminating storm drains and local waterways.

North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto, chairman of Metro Vancouver's utilities committee, said he will suggest next month that the Metro committee study the issue and the effect it has on aquatic wildlife, saying there has been a substantial increase in the number of butts dumped on the streets and ending up in local storm drains.

The move follows a unanimous decision by the North Shore city council this week to ask the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention to support the cigarette butt return-it deposit at its convention in September. Mussatto said he also plans to meet with MLAs and lobby the provincial government to consider legislating the return-it deposit.

Rooftop restaurant a key part of 1001 Blanshard transformation
http://victoria.citified.ca/news/rooftop-restaurant-a-key-part-of-1001-blanshard-transformation/

Big changes are coming to Blanshard and Broughton streets as Fort Properties nears the reveal of its latest addition to downtown Victoria's Fort Common District.

Formerly a VanCity Credit Union, the 7,700 square foot two-storey building at 1001 Blanshard Street, which includes a 1,500 square foot rooftop space overlooking the busy intersection, is being transformed into arguably one of the most unique commercial nodes in downtown Victoria.

"We're pleased to confirm that something truly unique is underway at the Fort Common District," says Fort Properties' Leasing and Marketing Manager, Kristen Kitchen.

Kitchen isn't kidding. The building's top level is being converted into The Livet, a posh eatery that will boast — here it comes — a rooftop patio. Think The Standard in downtown Los Angeles meets Chateau Victoria's Vista 18, drop them down several floors, and you get the idea.

Did we know that the guy behind Sunfest is former NHLer and Vancouver Canucks Greg Adams? Did we know that Sunfest is moving from the Duncan Exhibition to a private property owned by Adams called Laketown Ranch Music and Recreation Park? Did we know that Adams is building a pretty amazing looking permanent amphitheatre at the new location?

Pretty cool!

Location: Secret location to be revealed moments before the event

For the fourth consecutive year, Victoria will be host to Le Dîner en Blanc (http://victoria.dinerenblanc.info/register), the annual secret event where guests dress all in white and descend on a secret location for a pop-up gourmet picnic. The event has become a much-anticipated annual celebration in Victoria. Approximately 1,600 foodies, fashion and cultural enthusiasts attended the 2015 event at Ship's Point, which was the highest rated Le Dîner en Blanc event in all of Canada. This year, close to 2,000 people are expected. The evening includes musical entertainment, dancing on location, the lighting of thousands of sparklers and an after party, also held at a secret location.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Vic West's very own hip hop group, Nox Evoke, is now known as Dockside Green.

They were affiliated with the defunct Lyrics store at West Side Village, going by their clothing and some videos depicting them inside the former retail space. They are now on to a new clothing line called Harbour Gang, I believe.
