Victoria Watcher posted topic Langford sets requirement for greener concrete

----------------------------------------------------------------------
22 paragraphs here. I read it twice.

But I'm left asking, if this technology is widely available even locally, why isn't everyone already using it?

I know the answer, but it would be prudent for the article author to over those details, for a more rounded piece.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Langham Court Theatre board shake-up

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Langham Court Theatre board shake-up" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Big changes in the board of a volunteer-run Victoria theatre company are being hailed as a shift toward inclusivity or a calculated takeover, depending on who you ask.

At an annual general meeting for Langham Court Theatre Society last Sunday that dragged on for five hours, voters elected six board members. The majority are first-time board members for the theatre, which has been criticized as exclusive and lacking in representation.

The theatre reached a settlement this year in a human rights tribunal case in which a Black actor alleged the company and a director discriminated against her on the basis of race after she was told there were no roles for Black women in a play.

Newly elected president Janine Longy, who had been previously elected as a member-at-large, and vice-president Kathy Macovichuk, whose role was not up for re-election, have resigned since the vote.

________________________

"We've been told many, many times that we're privileged white racists. … It's like a country club or golf club or something," she said. "It's not like that. We've always been very welcoming for everyone."

________________________

After an emotional discussion at the meeting, members voted to revoke a lifetime membership for Judy Treloar, the director who told a Black actor there were no roles for Black women in a play.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Victoria Now - online news

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Victoria Now - online news" in forum "Online Media".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Victoria Now has quietly built up a bit of a presence here. It's at least partly owned by GSL Group, the folks that run the arena and own the Royals hockey team.




------------ QUOTE ----------
This is the first venture into news media for the GSL Group, but that does not mean the company comes without experience. Terry Armstrong, vice president at the GSL Group (https://www.gslholdings.com/), has spent close to 30 years in the news industry, including eight years as the group publisher for the Okanagan Valley Newspaper Group.
VictoriaNow will have a strong presence in the Victoria market, with reporters and sales staff based in the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre.
"The GSL Group identified with how NowMedia has connected with the local communities in the Thompson-Okanagan and strongly believes Victoria is a prime market for this brand of media platform, which focuses on the stuff that matters and understands its role in building community," Armstrong said.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Provincial autonomy

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Provincial autonomy" in forum "Victoria Politics".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he wants the province to be a "nation within a nation" by increasing its autonomy in several areas, including policing, taxation and immigration.
Moe made the initial statement during a radio interview on Sunday and then referred to the idea again on social media Tuesday morning. "Saskatchewan needs to be a nation within a nation," he tweeted. "When the federal government implements policies that are detrimental to our province, our government will continue to stand up for Saskatchewan people."
On Tuesday afternoon, Moe said he is "not talking about separation. We are talking about being a Saskatchewan cultural identity within the nation of Canada — but being a nation within a nation."
________________________________
When asked on Tuesday what he wants with respect to being a "nation within a nation," Moe pointed to Quebec.
"Quebec has a very different agreement when it comes to immigration with the federal government than we do here in the province of Saskatchewan. We want that agreement," he said.
"We saw Quebec most recently with the child care agreement — Quebec has a very different agreement than any of the other provinces in Canada. And we want that as well."

Victoria Watcher posted topic Fernwood, Hillside-Quadra and North Park neighbourhood plans

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Fernwood, Hillside-Quadra and North Park neighbourhood plans" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
City seeks input on three Victoria neighbourhood plans
Green space, businesses top concerns for Fernwood, Hillside-Quadra and North Park

Residents can help create final drafts of plans for Fernwood, Hillside-Quadra and North Park communities.
Feedback from the first two phases of public engagement are incorporated and now residents can share what ideas they like, they'd change or what they think is missing.
____________________
A common engagement theme was the desire for a 15-minute community – something that includes a range of housing choices, on and off transit corridors with walkable, lively urban villages and public spaces to bring people together, support local businesses and foster a sense of community identity.
____________________
Highlights of the Fernwood draft plan include expansion of the village with more and refreshed public spaces, opportunities for smaller shops and more housing choices. Ideas include transforming Bay Street into a better place for people, with more trees, housing choices, shops and wider sidewalks, crossings and bus transit.
____________________
The Hillside-Quadra plan includes ideas for new green spaces and public plazas; housing opportunities for renters and buyers of different incomes; and opportunities for Quadra Village and smaller commercial corners to evolve over time while maintaining small spaces.
____________________
The North Park plan includes ideas for a new public plaza in the village and more green space with options for the village to grow while keeping spaces for small and local-serving shops as well as opportunities for maker-spaces, artisans and creative businesses.

Victoria Watcher posted topic CoV zoning density plan for "missing middle"

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "CoV zoning density plan for "missing middle"" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
not clear what a Julty report is.





An example of a trade-off required to permit more MMH relates to parking, staff explained in a Julty report. Housing meant for up to four families would require as many as four spaces. Placing that onsite could reduce shared green space and the urban forest, while leaving residents to park elsewhere would impact street or laneway parking. The city hopes to hear residents' preferences on these choices through its ongoing community consultation.
Following the engagement sessions, "it's definitely too early to say anything conclusive about what we're hearing (from the public)," MacLean said. The first session on Oct. 30 saw just over a dozen participants at the city's online meeting. "There are definitely people who are keen to see more of these housing options introduced to the city, and others that really want to make sure the (new housing) will be a good neighbour," MacLean said.


i love the way that is presented. there are those in favour and those that want "good neighbours". nobody opposed, right?
