Wishing everyone a fun & safe New Year’s Eve and prosperous 2024. Hope to see you tomorrow at the walk with Mayor & Council leaving OB Rec Centre at 12:30pm. A Meet and Greet will be held in the Sports View Lounge between 1:30-2:30pm. Coffee, tea and cookies will be provided

Even if statistically driven rankings are silly, I do agree Oak Bay is a great place to live, like most of Vancouver Island. We’re lucky to live in this place. Happy 2024 cheknews.ca/oak-bay-named-…

Unfortunately, gang recruitment is increasing locally and highly sophisticated. If you have a child in the school system, you will likely find the presentation tonight very worthwhile. As a fellow parent, I'll see you there! #YYJ #SafeSchools

Heads up: there is incorrect information floating around that the issue of "dogs in parks" is coming to a specific upcoming District of Oak Bay Council meeting date. There is no date set for this topic at this time. As always, enjoy your parks responsibly!

*UPDATE* Monterey Avenue between Oak Bay Ave and Cranmore is now open as crews have completed repairs. Thank you for your patience! #oakbay #yyj

Someone was telling me of ongoing concerns of local (thankfully minor) conflict incidents triggered by the Israel-Hamas conflict. Anger, sorrow, fear are all understandable, but no matter what you think of those events, Islamophobia & Anti-Semitism cannot be tolerated here.

I’ve been off Twitter for a bit, so missed noting 2-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion. I have faith that Ukraine will prevail, but will only regain its stolen land if nations like Canada provide the support needed to defend themselves. Thinking of refugees here now.❤️🇺🇦

This Tuesday Night-Thoughtful, thought provoking discussion on housing. Fantastic panel not to be missed including Mayor Kevin Murdoch 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 Zac de Vries - Saanich Councillor & CRD Director Virginia Holden Greater Victoria Housing Society and…drum roll please, Honourable Ravi Kahlon Minister of Housing all to talk about housing. Not to be missed

Starts in 15 minutes, runs until 7. Hope to see you there!

Happy to officially open the ⁦District of Oak Bay⁩ new #accessible playground in North Oak Bay. #Rotary #community ... First of many! AND we kept the beloved horsies from the original park

Thanks Colin Plant for taking & sharing this picture of Dean Murdock & I, taken after the CRD board meeting yesterday. I appreciate all the work you do as Chair and for the region. And you’re better at this social media stuff than I am😁

My thoughts on Fathers’ Day fall to my children, but also the Ukrainian children stolen by Russia & told their families are dead. My hope is that they will all be returned & reunited soon (and can only dream that Putin is convicted of the ICC war crimes he is already indicted on)

Sad to see this - there no room for hate, threats, or intolerance in our community: everyone needs to feel safe and welcome.

Feeling grateful for Our Place Society #NewRoads & Umbrella Society for organizing #RecoveryDayVictoria. On until 7PM@ Central Park on Quadra, it’s a #Community celebration of those who help others in need & for recovery from addiction. Music, food, bouncy castles & more.

Interested in volunteering at the #StanleyCup Centennial Celebration in March? These family-friendly events always need the community to help out. You can sign up at vhls.ca/volunteer/

Stanley Cup on Oak Bay Avenue 100 years after it was won. Great community event today, thanks to the many volunteers and donors who made it happen.
