They are super old school. You basically have to call them and set up an appointment to come by. It’s a legit business, just with very limited hours and particular ways. www.fruittreesandmore.com

Oranges! In this region! Big, plump oranges. I’ve been coming here for years and Bob never ceases to amaze me.

That’s already the plan. Lumber is goi g to local high school shop kids and FN carvers.

No one is happy with the need to remove the tree. We were given professional advice that it poses a longterm risk to safety and wellbeing, and unfortunately it needs to come down.
It’s a decision that needed to be made.
I appreciate the love and concern that the protestors showed for the tree.

The problem would be solved by people dropping the “hidden” and referring to these places simply as “gems.” Non-hidden gems.

I’m a former Fulbright scholar. It’s horrifying to see the interference and politicization of this famed grant program.

Right. That’s how it is in Victoria as well. There is no abstention, so in this instance, Fry voted yes.

Interesting. In BC local governments that don’t have a Charter — i.e. all of them except Vancouver — there is no option to abstain. One can recuse, or leave the room during a vote, but one cannot abstain.
Does the Vancouver Charter allow for it?

Yeah, hit me up if you do. We always have a tent set up by our house.

I’ll wait to read the article before drawing any conclusions. 🌈

This sounds exciting. Will the Province start funding the things they’re supposed to fund and stop downloading things to us? Is that the theme that’s changing?

Land grants for the new art gallery is one of the amenities.

I don’t know. It’s years off from knowing what the rates may be. There will be market rental and stratified and live-work space. Because of the many other amenities provided by this development, it wasn’t required to offer as much affordable housing as we see elsewhere.

Yes. The live-work spaces are intended to be affordable to artists. The other housing probably is not.
