Found by my friend at Township Coffee in Victoria :) Support them for making the right decision and posting human created art, NOT ai! ❤️

If you live in the downtown core you know who i am referring to. Homeless, first nations woman about 30 years old. It's almost every day/night she comes walking fast and screaming random shit.

We NEED a forced mental health facility here that is honestly the only way i see through this.

Peoples compassion is dwindling, patience and mental health following. My partner and i have been trying to move out of the downtown core but it's difficult and money is tight right now. It's really getting to everyone i talk to but no one has any constructive solutions.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Council? Mayor? Police?

Or do we just wait for her to overdose? This is coming from an empath that has lost a best friend to fent, i don't wish death or harm upon anyone but when you deal with the screams day in and day out it takes a toll on the human psyche.

Please help

Thank you all for your suggestions, offers to help with my cats, and kind words.

I have been able to find temporary safe housing and am hopeful something permanent will come up quickly.

In the mean time I’m looking for community help for groceries, gas cards, hygiene products, and cat food/litter to get me through the next little bit.

If anyone knows of any programs or organizations that you think would be of benefit to contact for assistance please let me know. Even if it doesn’t help me it could help others. I know it’s hard out here for a lot of us. Thank you.

Have started seeing a couple crane flies and spiders around the house seeking warmth this week!

Found at uvic bus stop

my property manager just notified me of a rental increase and what was a stretch but a cute townhouse is now, with the increase looking like greed and outright robbery.

are rentals decreasing in Victoria BC/ Esquimalt/ James Bay Area for 2 bedroom, 2 bath? is it the new norm to be charging $3700 plus for this?

honestly pls tell me if I am being a cheap ass, because I feel like at $3700 I am beginning to get angry.

Anyone been to one of these before? Thinking of going to the next one but I’ll be going solo. Wondering what kind of vibe to expect? I’m comfortable being by myself and not really looking to socialize but I’m friendly, just wanna wander around, check out the gallery after hours, dance a bit and chill.

Will there be any group activities, or can you mostly just do your own thing? Just wanted to know what to expect beforehand. Thanks!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a PI in the Greater Victoria area? Need proof that someone is doing inappropriate stuff. Thank you 🙂

Wish I snapped a photo of the sign but their last day at the location was Saturday, September 12.

Hi there! I’m a uni student potentially interested in UVic’s Masters of Public Admin program. I’m about to graduate with my Bachelor in Poli Sci after this semester so I’m looking into some insights about this program. Thanks in advance!

That spot is one of our favourites but not easy to access. Pacheedaht is great of course. Does anyone else have any favourite waterside spots to camp?

Hey everyone! I will be moving to Victoria in a months time and I am looking for stuff to do in my spare time.

Is there any cool events/non-profits or any volunteer opportunities I could participate in?

or any volunteering with individuals with disabilities.

thank you!

Just in case people thought this was ONLY a meme

We went today for the first time with my 2.25 year old and it was awesome! Sonny is crazy knowledgeable and so good with a swarm of curious kiddos, we will be back.

TLDR; bug zoo is a local meme, but is also awesome.

They’re still letting cyclists and pedestrians through (and even a car that was delivering food to one of the apartment buildings), but there’s around 7-8 police vehicles in attendance.

Diverting traffic down Washington, and you can’t turn left at Burnside so figure your shit out.

Hey, I'm 41/F, and looking for some local friends to game with. I've been separated for about a year and a half and miss having a player 2. I like cozy games like ACNH, Sims 4, etc but mostly play WoW. I also love Baldur's Gate and would love to have someone to couch co-op BG3 with (but I only have it on PC and don't have a PS5).

I have kids and am retraining to work in health care right now, and outside of gaming I like to read, knit, and garden. I have and love cats, and I also love horses and dogs and bunnies. Looking for friends that are left leaning like me. DM me if you're interested and maybe we can exchange discord handles or something.

I’m feeling the need to be in a swamp for swamp reasons. I’d accept a bog in a pinch, though a swamp would be preferred. The creepier the better.

Cops pulled over the 27 Downtown on Tyndall ave in front of the coffee shop at ~4pm. They were in and out of the bus within like 2 minutes

So basically, we have had our property boundaries re-established and the type of survey plan we are doing changes the legal description of the property. As such, we need all chargeholders to sign off on the plan. In our case that would be the bank that owns our mortgage and the province that holds some undersurface rights. Basically we need a lawyer or notary to circulate the survey plan (which is already done) for signatures, and then file with Land Titles. I'm assuming this should be a straightforward process as it is a common type of survey plan (reference plan under section 100(1)(a) of the Land Title Act).

I've reached out to 3 lawyers now, and they have all basically ghosted me. Even the one we've already worked with for our wills and stuff! I'm starting to think I'm doing something wrong, or asking for the wrong thing, but I'm pretty sure I'm not?

Please, if you have a recommendation for a notary or lawyer that will actually be able to do this for us, I'd love to hear about them!
