I don't think we have a thread like this, so I thought I'd start one in a self-serving way. We can talk ghost stories etc. here.

TELUS is seeking to consolidate its Capital City offices into a modern business hub in downtown Victoria, Citified has learned.

The Vancouver-based communications and healthcare technology company has approached several development firms to assess near-term expansion opportunities in the city centre, a move that would see TELUS vacate its office operations at an existing facility spanning the 800-blocks of Yates and Johnson streets.

Land Use Committee (LUC) — Pam • The LUC earlier had met with a developer about the two neighbouring properties on 900 block Caledonia Ave., next to Sands parking lot. The LUC gave negative feedback on this proposal and the City also did not support the proposal. • The developer has come back to LUC with a revised plan. The new plan is for 4- storey rental units, with retention of the heritage house frontage and new construction at the back. • Pam and Chris met with the developer and architect, and believe this proposal is much improved. Next steps TBD

The silhouette of Vic West's Bayview Place development as seen from downtown Victoria. A proposal by developer Focus Equities to build a 26-storey residential tower as the project's next phase will yield the City of Victoria's tallest building, although the title may be short lived if a downtown Victoria proposal receives the green light.

26-storey condo tower to rise above Victoria's Inner Harbour
http://victoria.citified.ca/news/26-storey-condo-tower-to-rise-above-victorias-inner-harbour/

Vic West's Bayview Place development will once again claim the title of the Capital City's tallest building with the announcement of a 26-storey condominium tower.

Planned for a site along Kimta Road in the harbourfront Songhees neighbourhood, the 207-unit residence could reach upwards of 77-metres above ground level, making it the tallest structure on southern Vancouver Island.

Although approvals have been granted by the City of Victoria for a building rising as high as 77-metres, final design modifications could yield a height at or below the approved limit, according to Paul Corns, the communications director for Focus Equities' Bayview Place development.

April 12 – October 1, 2017Celebrate the achievements of one of Canada's greatest heroes–Terry Fox.
At the age of 18 Terry Fox lost part of his right leg to bone cancer. The loss didn't diminish his drive or courage; in fact, it inspired greatness. Once he recovered, this young man from Port Coquitlam, BC set out to run across Canada in what he called a "Marathon of Hope" to raise money for cancer research. In the summer of 1980 Terry began his 143-day, 5,300 kilometre journey, starting in St. John's, Newfoundland. His plan had been to run across the country. Sadly Terry's cancer returned and he was forced to finish his run in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Terry Fox still succeeded in his goal of raising awareness of and money for cancer research–a legacy that continues to this day. Explore the story of a young man who inspired a nation and established himself as a hero through his courage, hope and determination.

On April, 30, Podmore is organizing a mass singing of the country's national anthem for a videorecording project to have for Canada's 150th birthday party on July 1.
He's looking for as many people as possible to come to Sidney's Beacon Park (at the bandshell onthe waterfront) where there will be a couple rehearsal renditions of O Canada — followed by the realdeal on video.

Mike K. posted topic Victoria City Hall's statue of Sir John A. MacDonald could be on the move

lpoutine,

Mike K. has just posted a new topic entitled "Victoria City Hall's statue of Sir John A. MacDonald could be on the move" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Situated along the 600-block of Pandora Avenue at Victoria City Hall's southern entrance, a statue of Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald, could be relocated. The statue was erected by the Sir John A. MacDonald Society in 1982.

Victoria City Hall's statue of Sir John A. MacDonald could be on the move

Could the statue of Sir John A. MacDonald be on the move from its 34-year perch at the southern entrance to Victoria's City Hall?

Possibly, according to a City Hall insider.

The source, who is familiar with going-ons at #1 Centennial Square, confirms that several years ago the Sir John A. MacDonald Society approached the City of Victoria to float the idea of relocating the first Canadian Prime Minister's statue to the Inner Harbour or Centennial Square where it would command a greater presence.

Although the idea failed to gain traction at the time, recent musings that parallel the Society's long-held desires could lead to a mobilization of like-minded efforts during Victoria's Year of Reconciliation.

VV's source tells us that members of local First Nations bands have posited the idea of relocating the effigy to an alternative location should a decision be made by the City of Victoria to install aboriginal artwork in place of the statue.

However, situating First Nations art may not necessarily be limited to the exterior of City Hall and may instead appear inside the lounge or foyer, leaving Sir John A. in place.
At this time no formal applications related to the relocation of the statue have been submitted to City Hall and discussions with elected officials on that topic have been brief. Should plans change the City is expected to initiate a public information and feedback process.
