Vote for Canada's National Bird
...oops, too late
------------ QUOTE ----------
Our neighbours to the south have the bald eagle, Australia has the emu, and New Zealanders are often referred to as "kiwis."
But if you can't name Canada's national bird, there's a good reason — the country doesn't have one.
That's why, last year, Canadian Geographic magazine launched a national contest aimed at picking a bird which could represent the True North.
Canadians from across the country have voted online for their favourites, in a contest closing at midnight ET on Aug. 31, 2016.

Langford Rat posted topic Man Down!
lpoutine,
Langford Rat has just posted a new topic entitled "Man Down!" in forum "Urban Issues".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On my way to work last week, near the corner of Jacklin and Sooke Roads I saw a man down on all fours in obvious medical distress. A woman had stopped and was attending to him. I pulled over to offer help, as did a few other vehicles. Someone called 911, someone grabbed a blanket from their vehicle and while we waited several other folks stopped to see if there was something they could do. As it turned out, the situation was not that serious. Sadly, I'm sure I would have been a lot less inclined to put myself in the middle of that situation had it occurred in downtown Victoria. I don't mean that as a judgement on anyone's worth or value but rather as being cautious for my own safety. I've thought about it a lot in the past few days and it bothers me that I would probably hold back, waiting for someone else to jump in first. Given the current state of affairs in Victoria, I can imagine it would be possible for someone to lay down and die on the sidewalk and it could be a long
time before anyone noticed. That is one sad, sober thought.

After sponsoring the European Car Picnic for over 15 years, GAIN, Vancouver Island's Premier Dealer Group, with the help and support of the Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island knew it was time to create something fresh, exciting and different to allow all motorists of all makes, models and genres to come together at one common ground.
When the opportunity was presented to GAIN to take on the car show completely, we were ecstatic and ready to accept the challenge. Our first year hosting the Motor Gathering in 2013 concluded with over $52,000 raised for the Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island. Our second year in 2014 increased that to over $75,000 in cash donations and over $200,000 in in-kind sponsorships in benefit of the Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island and the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation.
With the help and generosity of all our wonderful sponsors, volunteers, registrants and many spectators, the Vancouver Island Motor Gathering has helped numerous families on the island and we strive to grow that with each and every year.
This year the Vancouver Island Motor Gathering will be held on Sunday September 18th at the Vancouver Island Mototsport Circuit. Our benefactor is the David Foster Foundation. (http://davidfosterfoundation.com/)

JN Development has bought Fairfield United Church at Fairfield and Moss, which will be demolished. JN most recently developed The Clive in Oak Bay. The church site is zoned "small urban village" and it seems likely that a 4-storey development will be proposed/built here. The church was struggling financially and will become a tenant in the new development.
The church has posted some info online: http://fairfieldunited.ca/property-sustainability-update/
Does anyone have contacts at JN (or their architect) who can provide additional information on the proposal?

Forget going to Tofino as Vancouver could soon become a surf town in its own special way if a proposal to turn the very eastern end of False Creek into an urban surf park is fully realized.

Powerforward posted topic Waiter may face criminal charge after serving fish to allergic customer
lpoutine,
Powerforward has just posted a new topic entitled "Waiter may face criminal charge after serving fish to allergic customer" in forum "Food and Dining, Hotel and Hospitality Industry Discussions".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
------------ QUOTE ----------
MONTREAL — Typically when a waiter mixes up an order, he can expect a scowl and a lousy tip. But a Sherbrooke, Que., waiter faces a possible criminal prosecution after he served salmon tartare to a customer with a severe seafood allergy.
Sherbrooke police arrested a 22-year-old man Wednesday on suspicion of criminal negligence following an incident in May that left Simon-Pierre Canuel in a coma after the beef tartare he ordered turned out to be salmon.
Canuel said he took one bite of the dish in the dimly lit restaurant before realizing it was fish. Within minutes, his throat became itchy and began to tighten, his tongue swelled and he had trouble breathing.
He had left his EpiPen in the car, so his partner, a medical resident, and another diner who was a doctor laid him on the floor to administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation while awaiting an ambulance.
He was taken to hospital, where he developed complications the next day and suffered cardiac arrest. He fell into a coma for two days before recovering and being released.
