A municipal watchdog group has filed a complaint with the Office of the B.C. Ombudsperson against Langford for declining to make councillors' financial disclosure documents available online.
Municipal officials are required to disclose their assets, debts and sources of income to identify what areas of influence and possible financial benefit they might have by virtue of being in office.

AllseeingEye posted topic Not Victoria but....wow

lpoutine,

AllseeingEye has just posted a new topic entitled "Not Victoria but....wow" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposed new development on the iconic 800 block of Granville Street, home of the Orpheum Theatre and - according to some people - one of the best live music venues in the world, the Commodore Ballroom.

Lord knows I saw enough acts in the latter when I lived in the big smoke and had more than a few memorable nights there. A friend who is in the movie/entertainment biz in Vancouver says locals are stoked for this to happen and re-energize what used to be one of the busiest entertainment districts in the country.

If nothing else its ambitious - https://www.urbanyvr.com/transformation-at-granville-and-robson/ (https://www.urbanyvr.com/transformation-at-granville-and-robson/)

Victoria Watcher posted topic Burning Rainbow Studio COVID/floods/theft recovery fund

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Burning Rainbow Studio COVID/floods/theft recovery fund" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stolen guitar last straw for musician after floods, COVID restrictions
A rough year for Victoria musician Neil James Cooke-Dallin got even tougher when his most cherished guitar was stolen from his downtown recording studio on Christmas Day.
The theft follows a flood and burst sewer pipe that have made his Burning Rainbow Studios all but unusable — all at a time when the musician's income was already depleted by COVID-19 restrictions.



Support for Burning Rainbow Studios
By donating to this GoFundMe you will be helping to cover costs for damages and lost wages over the last 9 months at Burning Rainbow Studio. Your donation will assist financially in covering the effects of the floods and any deductibles associated, installing security measures, help in the recovery of a beloved guitar, and to provide a financial buffer to help Neil mitigate the financial blows that 2020 has brought.
