----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT: Victoria Urban Food Garden Tour
WHERE: 10 gardens in Victoria and the CRD
WHEN: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday Sept. 7
TICKETS: $25 at Eventbrite. See https://vicurbanfoodgardens.wixsite.com/tour (https://vicurbanfoodgardens.wixsite.com/tour)
This year's self-guided tour is raising funds for the Victoria Rainbow Kitchen, which provides meals to those in need and works to strengthen food security on the South Island.

People who drive by this remarkable garden have been known to honk with appreciation, while those on foot often loll at the gate to take in the sumptuous scene.
One woman recently wrote a fan letter to the owners, which they found incredibly heartwarming.
It's easy to see why people are drawn to this property.
At first glance it's the three palm trees spreading high above four different varieties of waving grasses, and the winding path edged in a thick carpet of crushing thyme.
But what soon becomes evident behind the house, which sits on a corner, are rows of espaliered fruit trees underplanted with Japanese eggplants and zucchini, enormous kale and rhubarb specimens — and masses of bees, hummingbirds and butterflies.
This garden is not only a feast for the eyes but also an edible delight, and it will be open to the public on September 7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as part of the Victoria Urban Food Garden Tour.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Little Free Libraries
lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Little Free Libraries" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cordova Bay residents gathered at Piedmont Gardens for the official unveiling of Greater Victoria's 850th little free library on Saturday, Aug. 24.
Since 2017, the Greater Victoria Placemaking Network has been running the Pocket Places Project, which maps, promotes, stocks, and helps build little free libraries across the south Island. To date, the project has delivered more than 104,000 books across Greater Victoria, mapped out 850 little libraries, and helped set up over 125 of the neighbourhood book exchanges.
"It's pretty huge and mind-boggling to think there are now 850 little libraries in the region, and there's no sense in stopping," said Teale Phelps Bondaroff, Pocket Places Project lead. He told Black Press Media about starting the project with his partner in 2017, and trying to reach 150 libraries by Canada's 150th anniversary.
The region's newest library, named "Put A Bird On It" after the crow sculpture that sits under the library, was designed by local folk artist Michael Sheane.

Smoking of toxic drugs prompts security to be installed at Nanaimo, Victoria long-term care homes
Posted: Aug. 25, 2024 6:49PM
So when Larson and fellow family advocate Joan Gunther, whose husband Mel spent two years in Dufferin, learned that a "special population" of hard-to-house residents, many drug-addicted and living with mental illness, had been moved into the long-term care home, they say they were outraged.
"It's so misplaced. It's unbelievable that anything like that can happen," Larsen told CHEK News on Sunday.
"It is an insane idea. I don't know how anyone could come up with that, that you could mix these two. They both have problems, but one of them no longer has the capacity to be heard," said Nanaimo resident Joan Gunther.

lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "HARBOUR BLUES 'N ROOTS FESTIVAL" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HARBOUR BLUES 'N ROOTS FESTIVALWhere: Ship Point, Inner Harbour, Victoria
When: Friday, Aug. 23–Sunday, Aug. 25
Tickets: $39 from rmts.bc.ca (http://www.rmts.bc.ca/?utm_source=times%20colonist&utm_campaign=times%20colonist%3A%20outbound&utm_medium=referral) (250-386-6121) or the Victoria Jazz Society Office (250-388-4423); festival pass for $99
When organizers of the former — and long-running — Vancouver Island Blues Bash changed the festival's moniker in 2022, it was a move designed to give additional genres of music a presence on the bill.
That decision paid immediate dividends. Audiences at the BC Smoke Shop Harbour Blues 'n Roots Festival have seen everyone from Latin star Alex Cuba (in 2022) to Grammy Award-winning multi-hyphenate Fantastic Negrito (2023) in recent years, alongside traditional blues acts that were the foundation of Blues Bash for the better part of 30 years. "We definitely wanted to stretch the scope of what was available to us both locally and internationally," said Kristen Binley, communications co-ordinator and programming assistant for the Victoria Jazz Society, which produces the event. "That opened it up to roots, country, and world music, while sticking to the blues, R&B and soul that we always had [at Blues Bash]."

The Lassam Lemon-AID block party takes place Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at Memorial Crescent and Dallas Road. Anyone wishing to contribute to Liv's fundraising campaign can do so at tourderock.ca (https://support.cancer.ca/site/Donation2?idb=203150778&df_id=37136&FR_ID=29673&mfc_pref=T&PROXY_ID=14214543&PROXY_TYPE=20&37136.donation=form1&utm_source=times%20colonist&utm_campaign=times%20colonist%3A%20outbound&utm_medium=referral) by searching for the Lassam Lemon-AID team.
______________________
Olivia Lassam was seven years old when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour, undergoing chemotherapy and surgery.
Now the 12-year-old, who goes by Liv and lives in Victoria, has a big goal as she continues to fight for a cure: She wants to raise $20,000 this year to support to search for a cure to pediatric cancers.
She's well on her way, raising more than $13,000 so far with her two younger brothers, and on Saturday, Liv and her family are hosting a "lemon-aid" stand that they hope will help reach her goal.
This is Liv's third year raising funds — her first two lemonade stands raised a total of $19,000. For her third year, she's "gone a little bigger," said Liv's grandmother, Shirley Vickers. The street at Memorial Crescent and Dallas Road will be closed for the event, which will also feature a bouncy castle, a popcorn machine, a barbeque and, of course, a lemonade stand. Police and firefighters will also make an appearance.
Liv and brothers, Lucas, 10, and Kai, 6, are leading the charge to plan the event and "it's been quite an undertaking this year," Vickers said.
They've cleaned out their rooms to hold garage sales, sold raffle tickets and have been plastering their Fairfield neighbourhood with posters to advertise Saturday's event, she said.

Now the 12-year-old, who goes by Liv and lives in Victoria, has a big goal as she continues to fight for a cure: She wants to raise $20,000 this year to support to search for a cure to pediatric cancers.
She's well on her way, raising more than $13,000 so far with her two younger brothers, and on Saturday, Liv and her family are hosting a "lemon-aid" stand that they hope will help reach her goal.
This is Liv's third year raising funds — her first two lemonade stands raised a total of $19,000. For her third year, she's "gone a little bigger," said Liv's grandmother, Shirley Vickers. The street at Memorial Crescent and Dallas Road will be closed for the event, which will also feature a bouncy castle, a popcorn machine, a barbeque and, of course, a lemonade stand. Police and firefighters will also make an appearance.
Liv and brothers, Lucas, 10, and Kai, 6, are leading the charge to plan the event and "it's been quite an undertaking this year," Vickers said.
They've cleaned out their rooms to hold garage sales, sold raffle tickets and have been plastering their Fairfield neighbourhood with posters to advertise Saturday's event, she said.

7-Eleven parent to review takeover bid from Canada's Couche-TardSeven & I Holdings (https://insideretail.asia/2024/04/10/seven-is-supermarket-unit-ito-yokado-to-go-public/), owner of convenience store chain 7-Eleven, has received a preliminary takeover offer from Canadian convenience store giant Alimentation Couche-Tard, parent of Circle K.
The Japanese company has formed a special committee to review the proposal. A source familiar with the matter told Reuters that the talks are "at a very early stage".
Details of the offer, including the size of the stake and method of acquisition, were not disclosed. Seven & I's shares surged by 22.7 per cent following the news on Monday, giving it a market value of 5.6 trillion yen ($38 billion).
If completed, the deal would be the largest acquisition of a Japanese company by a foreign one.
According to Nikkei, the committee will consider whether the proposal is an appropriate assessment of Seven & I's corporate value and whether it will lead to long-term growth. The board of directors will then make their decision based on the conclusions.

Victoria Watcher posted topic The case for sunlight in building design - or shade?
lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "The case for sunlight in building design - or shade?" in forum "Urban Design".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Should B.C. cities rethink their shade priorities? As temperatures climb, former chief planner warns B.C. cities need to rethink old ways of maximizing sunlight and minimizing building shadows. How much shade is too much shade? In B.C.'s warming cities, it's a question increasingly pushing city planners to rethink what building developments should get approved, and which should be reworked to avoid casting a shadow on a nearby public space.
Brent Toderian, a prominent urban-planning advisor who previously served as Vancouver's chief planner, said that for decades, cities across Canada have prioritized sunlight over almost everything else.
That might have made sense a decade ago when B.C.'s coastal cities saw gloomy, wet skies as the biggest damper on public spaces. But three years after a heat wave killed 619 people across the province, expectations have changed, and Toderian says city planners have failed to respond fast enough to the threat of deadly heat.
"They've been choosing sunlight over shade," he said. "It's been treated as almost an absolute rule."
"And we can't afford to keep doing that."
