It’s factually untrue that baseball happens ~50 days per year. And factually untrue that the part of the grass in question is unused/underused.
This proposal would end high school football, rugby and many, many soccer events.

More concerned about this than reducing parking spots in major housing developments. This is way worse than whatever “traffic violence” is.
Security staff at a downtown nightclub spotted what looked to be a patron with a gun in his waistband. 2 minutes later, he was detained, disarmed & every available officer responding after staff called 911. No one was injured.

No, this is a path a couple people want to take to take down the fences and move sporting and other events out of a facility that has been providing that since 1908.
The NPNA needs to be shut down, and funding pulled. They speak only for themselves.

My friends — only one place in Victoria (or the whole island!) for BC DAY fireworks — Monday evening’s game at Wilson’s Group Stadium at RAP — HarbourCats vs Redmond Dudes.

Not accurate, though.

Walked along Quadra today, past 900 block of Pandora.
Witnessed a fight, not to generalize but quite clearly the combatants were gang-related and the screaming said the fight was about the drug trade, the people emerging to get involved in the brawl were not usual unhoused.
