On Saturday, May 4th, about 50 hardy souls defied the rain and joined our group ride to thank the Township of Esquimalt for the excellent cycling infrastructure that has just been completed on Lampson and Tillicum. After riding up the big hill on Lampson St. on the protected bike lane for the first time, one participant exclaimed: "I'm a convert. It wasn't that hard!" We look forward to riding safely in the new lanes planned for Esquimalt Rd! Pictures from Chris Istace & Ed Pullman. #yyjbike #yyj #grouprides #victoriabc #esquimalt #esquimaltbc @esquimaltbc

BC Greens have been the voices in the Legislature raising the concerns of residents in #Esquimalt who are concerned about being renovicted in order for new housing to be built. We desperately need more housing, both market and non-market. But government needs a plan for those who are displaced when affordable housing is knocked down to build that housing. The province's rental protection fund is supposed to help nonprofits buy buidlings like the one mentioned in the Capital Daily article by Mark Brennae, but it's not getting the results we desperately need.

A significant part of making a land acknowledgement is demonstrating a willingness to learn. Speakers and writers of land acknowledgements can use these opportunities to research Indigenous Communities: language; vocabulary; spelling; pronunciation; capitalization; history; culture; tradition; identity; government; social, spiritual, and religious institutions; and collective rights. Learning new things often includes a fear of making mistakes. However, if speakers and writers prepare land acknowledgements to the best of their ability and remain open to receiving feedback, they can experience growth and change. Another valuable component of making a land acknowledgement is creating a call to action. For example, I am committed to learning more about Indigenous Peoples’ relationships with plants. ____________ The Lekwungun Territory is known for its Kwetlal meadows. Kwetlal is a food system with a rich cultural role in this Territory. Historically, Kwetlal bulbs were a primary source of carbohydrates; baked in pits, they taste somewhat like a pear. The Kwetlal food system has endured over 150 years of colonial impacts including: cultural oppression; landscape change (land development); pollution; and invasion of invasive plant species. CALL TO ACTION: I hope you will join me in learning more about Indigenous Plant Knowledge wherever you live, work, and travel.

Before I started training regularly, most of the TIME, getting even one workout a week was a challenge. After 8 sessions of One on One Personal Training, at your home or online, you'll be STRONGER, HEALTHIER and when you have a plan, impossible goals will become possible. Check out my site strengthwithdave.ca or call me at 250-891-8508 for details. #2024maychallenge #31days #strengthwithdave #thesearethedavesiknow #onlinepersonaltraining #atyourhome #Victoria #vancouverisland #yyjfitness #yyjbootcamp #personaltrainingnearme #strength #cardio #bcrpa #oakbay #esquimalt #saanich #westsaanich #healthandwellness #nomorehashtags

🌮Happy Cinco de Mayo! On May 5, 1862, in Puebla de Los Angeles, a small town in east-central Mexico, 6,000 French troops faced 2,000 Mexican soldiers at daybreak. By the evening, Mexico had claimed victory. Days later Juárez declared May 5 a national holiday. #VictoriaPropertyGroup #cincodemayo #yyjrealestate #victoriaproperties #eXpRealy #YourCommunityRealEstateTeam #yyj #realestateyyj #Esquimalt #OakBay #Victoria #VicWest #Saanich #Sidney #Langford #Colwood #ViewRoyal #Sooke #Metchosin #Highlands #CentralSaanich #NorthSaanich #SaanichWest #SaanichEast #BearMountain
