Victoria-based entrepreneur Andrew Wilkinson, founder of MetaLab, announced the launch of The Culture Fund on Monday, a new initiative offering loans between $1,000 and $25,000 to event organizers.
The fund can be applied for without grant proposals or investor pitches and will help artists and promoters bring music shows, comedy nights, drag performances, block parties and other community events to life.

The Uncertain Future of Granville Island
Video: https://youtu.be/STsu3NA1W_k?si=f-PtPh7bW2R1QXqu (https://youtu.be/STsu3NA1W_k?si=f-PtPh7bW2R1QXqu)

Granville Island, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Canada, is facing an uncertain future as most of its buildings and infrastructure reach the end of their usable life. How did Granville Island end up here, and how can it sustain itself over the long term? (re-uploaded with better blurring 😅).



I didn't realize this guy had a show before CBC. His CBC videos are quite good.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Car washes

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Car washes" in forum "Retail Establishments & Grocery Markets".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Before that, though, the business plans to roll out the welcome mat in a big way. During its first week, it will offer free washes to anyone who stops by, no strings attached beyond a one-time phone number entry, with the company stating that it aims to give away 15,000 free washes.




There's no shortage of car washes in Greater Victoria – but none quite like this.

Set to open on July 1, Speedwash Colwood is bringing what it says is the country's longest express car wash tunnel to the West Shore, marking the Canadian company's first foray onto Vancouver Island.

The fully automated system will be capable of washing up to 250 cars per hour, with each wash taking just three minutes from start to finish.
But the build is more than just big. Backed by a sustainability-first model, the facility will recycle up to 90 per cent of its water use – a critical feature as the Island heads into another dry summer.

"A lot of people don't realize a tunnel like ours actually uses less water than washing your car at home," said Dawson Weich, chief of marketing and technologies.

The site will also feature 20 self-serve vacuum stations, complimentary detailing tools, and eco-friendly soaps that are biodegradable and phosphate-free. Free vacuuming and matte washing will be offered for the first month after opening.

Colwood will be Speedwash's fourth B.C. location, joining sites in Surrey, Langley and Chilliwack. They offer three separate tiers for washes (protect, shine and clean), with their highest tier costing $30 each, or $55 for a monthly membership.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Mosh the Rock Island MetalFest

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Mosh the Rock Island MetalFest" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The first-ever Mosh the Rock Island MetalFest is set to take over Sooke's Fred Milne Park for a one-day all-ages event celebrating the loudest and heaviest music Western Canada has to offer.

The event comes courtesy of Royal Savoie, a man of many hats in the Island's metal community, who has spent years booking events, promoting shows and managing bands, much of it through his own company, Royalty Entertainment. Some may be familiar with his work as a radio DJ hosting CFUV 101.9's Thrash Can – others may have seen him delivering the mail at his day job with Canada Post or in the pit at a local show.
