#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

No matter how mad the world has become, taking some quiet moments to reflect & think about the many marvelous things that bring our hearts & souls some happiness, is always a winning investment 💞

A winding trail, through forest, to a quiet beach spot.

A little #footpath that leads down to a nice beach spot, along the #GorgeWaterway.

#VictoriaBC #Saanich #ViewRoyal #Esquimalt #YYJ - Happening today!

Keep the #Halloween spirit going in our neighbourhood with a #community #PumpkinParade!

Bring your carved #JackOLanterns down to #GorgePark between 3-5pm on November 1st, then return from 6-8pm to see them all lit up together as you take a spooky stroll! There is no limit to the number of #pumpkins you can bring down - the more, the merrier!

***If you're unable to bring your pumpkin down to the park and live in the #GorgeTillicum area, please put your pumpkins at the end of your driveway by 1pm and we will attempt to pick them up.***

The event will be held in Gorge Park adjacent to the parking lot opposite Orillia Street. Entertainment will run from 6pm - 7:30pm and there will be free hot chocolate and treats for the community.

This year, your pumpkins will get a third chance to entertain as they'll be delivered to the Tillicum Centre Pumpkin Smash the following day! Saanich Firefighters will be dropping the pumpkins from atop fire ladder before they go to compost station.

Outdoors #photoshoot with Arlene.
She's a local, natural #BlackBeauty who doesn't need much makeup at all. We had lots of fun, shooting together in #Esquimalt.
