Compassionate Resource Warehouse

We spent a good part of Saturday organizing and packing donations to bring to the Compassionate Resource Warehouse.

Our shipment was scheduled to be sent to Sudan. We showed the kids on the map how far our items would be travelling and explained about the hardships in that area.

Gorge Waterway

The body of water known simply as “The Gorge” to Victoria locals is a narrow inlet that connects Victoria Harbour to Portage Inlet.... The Gorge has a rich history as an important spiritual place and fishing area for First Nations, and a fishing, bathing and recreational area for early Victoria residents.

The Selkirk train trestle has been converted to a pedestrian and cycle bridge that forms part of the highly used Galloping Goose multi-use trail.

Last Sunday, we explored The Gorge on our bicycles.
