  1. Every bit of the Galloping Goose, EN Trail, hidden paths, parks, roadside cookies, forests & friends makes riding bikes a blast in the @[email protected] . To be able to ride nearly all of our 102km on protected bike routes is amazing. #YYJ to #Sooke & back for our #sundayfunday on #vancouverisland

  2. CW: Mention of Trump, but in a story about horse manure
  3. Hmm, what kind of pie should I get for #PiDay? and does anyone have tips on the best place to get a pie in #Sooke #Langford #Metchosin?

  4. Over the past year, the #LifeCycles team has been taking a deep dive into reimagining what the #SeedLibrary can be. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, we’ve spent significant time sorting and organizing seeds, and we’re excited to share what’s coming next.

    By the end of February, #seed #donation bins will be launched at each of #GreaterVictoriaPublicLibrary branches. The Seed Library at the Broughton branch in downtown Victoria, which will both collect and distribute seeds, is expected to be fully functional by March.

    We are also shifting how #seeds are accessed at the #library to make them more #accessible and increase their reach. The Seed Library will function more like a Seed Box - prioritizing ease of access, because we believe that access to seeds—especially amid rising food costs—is an important part of local #foodsecurity.

    Alongside this, we are planning to continue the Seed Library’s core work of growing out heirloom and locally adapted varieties so they remain accessible in our region. As these seeds become available, we will put these seeds into rotation in the Broughton Branch Seed Library.

    We’re also planning two #SeedWorkshops this year — a beginner workshop in the spring and a more advanced workshop in the summer. More details coming soon!

    #Volunteer opportunities - come help us!

    We have two remaining seed-sorting shifts and we would love your help:

  5. Sooke! Last weekend’s conversation with awesome former candidate David Evans. So touched to be joined by Elder Bill Jones and many others tirelessly fighting to protect the Walbran old growth. Now that the tour has wrapped, planning a visit to @fairycreekblockade - more to come⚡️🌲#sooke #bc #tour #bcgreens #fighttheoligarchs

  6. One of my fave isolated #beaches to have a fire & hang out, watching the #ocean 😊 I love rock hunting here too. I've found lots of interesting rocks here before.
    It's a 45 minute drive from our home to get to this spot. I saw no one else there, on my last visit.

    #BilstonCreekWatershed #nonprofit society needs help!

    They need more volunteers to join them at Firehall Creek on Friday, October 3 & Saturday, October 4 from 10 am - 2 pm. The work will be focusing on planting native plants as part of ongoing restoration efforts.

    Please RSVP using this form: forms.gle/DddZ2ZYY5Zmbtfz98

    This will help them plan for supplies & also allow them to reach out directly if plans change.

  8. 2016. After wrapping the last shoot on Ollie & Emma #TelusOptik #webseries #FilmProduction at the Village Foods grocery store in #Sooke.
    Me & the lighting crew were the last ones to clock out. I was always the last crew to leave sets because I was also the locations manager. We goofed around with wigs & accessories props from my costumes tickle trunk. I provided several props for the production filming from my own personal collections.
    I was on contract with Less Bland Productions in #VictoriaBC at the time.
