Hi CBC On The Coast I’ve heard that GVPL just hired a full time social worker on staff

Pork cutlet katsu over rice with sesame ginger slaw and Japanese style beans from our garden Thanks ⁦Heidi Fink⁩ ⁦CHEK News⁩ #CookingOnTheCoast

Laundry day. Junbesi, Nepal. #represent TownshipOfEsquimalt Esquimalt Recreation

First time flying with Porter Airlines and I was impressed. Great recorded voice for the announcements. HELPFUL and friendly staff. Good snacks. Wifi! Coast to coast and back in four days. Thank you 🙏🏼

What are the chances that while you’re trekking back from Everest Base Camp and representing TownshipOfEsquimalt another hiker spots your shirt and says “WHOA! I was a lifeguard at Esquimalt Recreation !”… Pretty good, I guess 😎

While I hate that it is up to all of us to meet the need and fill the food banks, I love that the stars have stepped up to get the message out. And look for the places that leverage your dollar… it’s often better than a few cans ❤️🇨🇦🍽️ Great ad ⬇️ CBC youtube.com/watch?v=QSoqiA…

Quick shift in plans at 5:40 this morning from a BC Ferries reso to a Pacific Coastal ticket due to The CycloneBomb BC Storm. Hope my cancelled reso is refunded in full and hoping my flights go as planned. 🤞#BePrepared #PlansChange 🤷🏻‍♀️ see you soon #Denver ✈️

Auld Lang Syne, a traditional tune to bid fairwell to the old year. Happy New Year from the West of Ireland!

Caught part of the The Current on CBC Radio interview with Rick Steves this morning and one observation keeps replaying in my mind: “People used to say Bon Voyage, and now they say Safe Travels.” What a shame that new sentiment has replaced the other, more peaceful, joyful one. ❤️✈️🌏

FYI The Current on CBC Radio Matt Galloway, This time around I am voting for the person who I want to represent our country on the world stage and IMO that is only Mark Carney. I can’t imagine any of the other options at the adult table for the next four years.

Thanks WestJet for the great connections from coast to coast 😎 YYJ ➡️ YHZ #LoveWhereYouLive 🇨🇦 #LoveWhereYouWork National Defence

Loving Morocco! Can’t wait to see more from Rick Steves on this amazing country!

Thanks WestJet for my first ever Premium class experience! YYJ to YOW. Great service, smiling staff, good food … would rate 10/10 except for the fact that there was no wifi to listen to the Jays game …

When is Chevrolet Chevrolet Canada bringing back ads with Walter the cat??

Thanks to Heidi Fink for a DELICIOUS New Year’s Eve dinner. Prime rib (thank you Thrifty Foods ), mashed (not blended thank you so much) potatoes, amazing Yorkshires, and the Best. Gravy. Ever. I’ll keep my chef around for a bit longer. 😉
