Victoria Apple Store a go? After years of speculation, sources say yes
https://victoria.citified.ca/news/mayfair-shopping-centre-victoria-apple-store-a-go-after-years-of-speculation-sources-say-yes/ (https://victoria.citified.ca/news/mayfair-shopping-centre-victoria-apple-store-a-go-after-years-of-speculation-sources-say-yes/)
Victoria's Mayfair Shopping Centre could soon be home to Vancouver Island's first Apple Store. Multiple sources say the Cupertino, California-based tech giant plans to open its 30th Canadian outlet as part of the retail hub's $72 million expansion and modernization project underway since mid-2016. With recent rumours of an Island-bound Apple Store swirling about since last summer, it appeared the gig was up last fall when media reports hinted at the prospect of substance to the chatter. Mayfair representatives, however, neither refuted nor supported such claims. But now industry insiders are giving the nod to the store's arrival amid Apple's legendary new product and retail location secrecy.

P. North posted topic Victoria Bakeries that don't use preservatives?
lpoutine,
P. North has just posted a new topic entitled "Victoria Bakeries that don't use preservatives?" in forum "Food and Dining, Hotel and Hospitality Industry Discussions".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking for a local bakery that does not use preservatives in their bread. I checked out Cobs bread but it turns out they are basically a McDonalds of bread franchises and load all of their products with BHA, and BHT as well as Silicone Dioxide.
A good loaf of pure Pumpernickel is what I am looking for.
Are their any "Natural" Bakeries in Victoria that make bread without any chemical preservatives? I can't have any of that in my diet.

Gary H has just posted a new topic entitled "Best Buy's complete interior renovation" in forum "Retail Establishments & Grocery Markets".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, I hadn't been to the Uptown Best Buy in awhile and it's like a completely different store. The interior is really nice. There are lots of vendor specific product displays that are very well designed and seem integrated into the design theme of the overall store. The black ceiling and LED lights look great vs. the HID lamps they were using before. Oh, and the carpeted floors are raised so all the kiosk wiring is hidden under the floors. Definitely worth checking out! :thumbsup:
Oh yeah, and that LG OLED TV (the Signature TV W) on display is as thin as it looks on the back too - and has a five figure price tag!
But first, here is what it looked like early last year:
And now for the reno, note the Guitar Center like musical instruments room has been reduced to more of a memorial...

Star Dust posted topic Victoria Restaurant Inspections
lpoutine,
Star Dust has just posted a new topic entitled "Victoria Restaurant Inspections" in forum "Food and Dining, Hotel and Hospitality Industry Discussions".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Before I go out to eat anywhere in Victoria, I always make sure to take advantage of the Vancouver Island Health Authority's online Health Inspection Reports.
This is an Excellent website feature that anyone who dines out frequently in Victoria, or anywhere on Vancouver Island for that matter can access and review health inspections of every single restaurant, pub, bar, or business that sells food on the entire island.
Keep in mind when reviewing the site that almost every establishment in Victoria or on Vancouver Island has had Violations at some point or other. Some have had repeat violations, while others have had minor and infrequent violations, and some have actually be closed down by VIHA.
My personal rule is to frequent the establishments with the least amount of violations, or with the lowest hazard rating of violations. This way it gives me as a person who eats out often a great insight into how each restaurant or place of business is operated in regards to food safety and sanitation, and helps keep me safer when eating out.
You can easily tell when reading the reports which business's take the inspections seriously, and which ones don't. My advice is to not give your business to eating establishments with multiple Violations.
If you have never visited the site, or have never heard of it I will post the link below.
Enjoy, and please do give your feedback.
Cheers,

lpoutine,
juliwhooo has just posted a new topic entitled "Public vote to directly decide on $50k of City funds in community-led participatory budgeting pilot - Polls close January 20th" in forum "Urban Issues".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Residents of the CRD are invited to vote directly for how $50k will be budgeted towards making the city better. A small group of volunteers have been working with the City of Victoria to introduce participatory budgeting in municipal decision making since last May. Participatory budgeting is a democratic process in which a municipality allocates a portion of its budget for residents to propose and vote on community projects.
All projects proposals came from the community, in an open call for ideas last summer. Initial submissions were shortlisted based on feasibility and legality, in consultation with the City. There are now eight diverse projects on the ballot, with voting open to CRD residents of all ages.
The shortlisted projects are:An art and music program for seniors with dementia.A pop-up garden and native bee art installation with educational workshops.Solar power and batteries for the aquaponics system at the Compost Education Centre.An employment training program, connecting vulnerable adults with local employers.An arts program for marginalized people in the Victoria area.A new electronic community resource board at Victoria High School to serve the Fernwood community.A pedal-powered Victoria Bike Music Festival and summer concert series.A community learning garden in the courtyard by the Downtown Branch of the Victoria Public Library.The projects that receive the most votes from the community will receive funding. More information on the project and the vote can be found at www.victoria.ca/pbvic (http://www.victoria.ca/pbvic)or in person at City Hall until January 20th.
Here's a video of what PB looks like in other cities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLrPJghHIzg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLrPJghHIzg)
This year's process is a small pilot project, but if this is something Victoria wants to see, we'd love to keep it going.
As a volunteer steering committee member, I would love to hear people's thoughts on what they think about the concept. And don't forget to vote now!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
#nomercy campaign is about a clean slate no matter which side of centre you lean. Just don't vote for any incumbents. We need to hold our politicians accountable and too many have been in there for too long and there seems to be no accountability. We can't overspend on major projects that derail without consequences. We can't ignore major issues with our downtown anymore.
