#esquimalt — Public Fediverse posts

A proposed development for a private property on Admirals Road will result in the removal of 33 #GarryOak trees. The #Esquimalt #Climate Organizers have started a petition to prevent this from happening.

This petition asks the #EsquimaltCouncil to deny the current #development permit for the property and require it to be redesigned to allow for the #preservation of the Garry Oak and #DouglasFir #ecosystem. The removal of these #trees would have a large negative impact on #habitat and hydrology for the community, and will require 66 #replacement trees elsewhere as per Esquimalt’s #TreeProtection bylaw.

Please sign the #petition

When Mom takes her 2 hours afternoon nap, I'm going to ride out on my mobility scooter to distribute 100 #BoycottIsraeliApartheid stickers & #StopGenocideInGaza info leaflets. I have 500 of each to distribute, locally. I'm aiming for distribution of 100/week until they're all given out to locals around #Saanich #VictoriaBC #Esquimalt #ViewRoyal #Vicwest #Colwood #Langford areas.

Please take some sort of actions to support #PalestineSolidarity ✊️❤️🍉🇵🇸🍉❤️
Everyone can do something to show your solidarity support for #Palestinians suffering starvation #genocide under occupying #Zionazis.

One of a few truckloads of #driftwood dropped off at Gorge Park for the ongoing nature rewilding restoration project. This is near the estuary area of the large urban nature park; by the Gorge nature house.
