"It's the start of, I guess, more of like a family-friendly festival whereby everybody can come and enjoy themselves and spend the afternoon and shop locally and support locals for locals," organizer Kelly Kurta tells Capital Daily.
The Sips and Sounds Festival (https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.rlF4g_J5567dL1YqUXGE5-YCf6r_y1dISidcCfY9OKZDxLWfgImxF9jasIjdObahl4sVuUyzo4FEuzc4lT1cRhUDbt6zMpiwZv7E502zkd5CzMc3VWz2WpAd8ugdN5xSj_vZloWp7vbhiUg8Ja-_7uRLyk3JazJo2X9P_vkGxaCn-smXdZdJW5i7LeOyJhxFGxoUr7oN8N0wO4axlCmrosv2NJWtTv3bFCE8bsKqaD0/46c/hRlZslQwRnqP4qazSfV6tg/h7/h001.jKWIR-eAAiYDT-p3XuFzEdrtuE1Cd-xI_sJ-gxuHJao) on Sat. June 8 at the Saanich Fairgrounds, will feature music, food, and crafts with an emphasis on all things local—at just 10 bucks to get in.
"We thought, why not create something on the peninsula that everybody can go to? So, we're gonna have local makers, we're gonna have performances all afternoon that's free by local performers," Kurta said.
"The way they do it a lot in Europe is they charge a nominal fee, they have a massive venue that can hold thousands of people, which is actually to our benefit." Tickets are priced at $10 (https://link.mail.beehiiv.com/ss/c/u001.rlF4g_J5567dL1YqUXGE5-YCf6r_y1dISidcCfY9OKZDxLWfgImxF9jasIjdObahl4sVuUyzo4FEuzc4lT1cRhUDbt6zMpiwZv7E502zkd5CzMc3VWz2WpAd8ugdN5xSj_vZloWp7vbhiUg8Ja-_7uRLyk3JazJo2X9P_vkGxaCn-smXdZdJW5i7LeOyJhxFGxoUr7oN8N0wO4axlCmrosv2NJWtTv3bFCE8bsKqaD0/46c/hRlZslQwRnqP4qazSfV6tg/h8/h001.4JYzbwkLp5bgtNvihpi-mEpnVGD9EBMhJm7s1BARqqM), Kurta said.
The second nascent event, slated for Dec. 14, is a Christmas winter carnival with as many as 100 vendors.
"We wanted to put something together that incorporates everything like an entire Christmas show all afternoon," she said.
"The fairgrounds are going to be lit up. We're gonna decorate. I mean, it's gonna be like a really, really big decorated house."

Victoria Watcher posted topic Heat pumps
lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Heat pumps" in forum "Urban Design".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how B.C. heat pump rebates are about to spike Under a new $253-million program, some B.C. residents could receive up to $24,000 to switch from oil heating to a heat pump.The money behind the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program represents a 70 per cent increase in green energy rebates and expands the program to middle-income households who want to replace their gas or oil furnace with a heat pump. Qualifying British Columbians, said B.C.'s Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation Josie Osbourne, could "essentially get a free heat pump through this program."
"And then you also get the health benefits of a new cooling system in your home."
Osbourne said the money will increase the maximum rebate amount for a new heat pump to $16,000, up from $9,500.
Those living in northern B.C. will be eligible for another $3,000 top-up to account for the cost of cold weather heat pump technology. Osbourne said successful applicants may also receive up to $5,000 for electrical service upgrades to install and run a heat pump.

Why don't we fix this thing?
Nobody really seems to know what purposes the reservoirs serves. Whatveer it is, they can be capped and we can make something better of the space.
Plus there is a a really unnecessary though road along there.

lpoutine,
max.bravo has just posted a new topic entitled "Drake v. Lendrick Lamar Rap Dispute" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In case you like your soap operas urban, there's a serious beef happening between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
Both are releasing diss tracks at a rapid rate. Pretty dark allegations. Some decent music too.
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/drake-kendrick-lamar-beef-explained-1235015540/ (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/drake-kendrick-lamar-beef-explained-1235015540/)
------------ QUOTE ----------
Since Kendrick Lamar took aim at Drake with his verse on Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That" in March, the Compton and Canadian rappers have traded dozens of dark verses (and counting) in a beef unlike any before it.
Their war of words hit a crescendo on the weekend of May 3, but tensions have been simmering for years. Here we'll break down every major development in their battle since late March.
