Over the Easter weekend, a lone Grey Whale passed away and washed up on the shores of East Sooke Park, about 30 minutes west of Victoria, BC. Locals said the whale had been in Beecher Bay for the last couple of days just milling around. I believe it passed away at some point Friday. We had a massive wind storm that night and I think it got pushed onto the beach then. There were dozens of families and people taking pictures of this awesome creature.

VICTORIA – Police officers from Victoria and Esquimalt donated their time on Wednesday to accompany a group of students while they did their Christmas shopping. 21 students were selected to take part in the 2nd annual Cop Shop program at Hillside Centre. Victoria Police Liaison officers chose students who showed leadership in their schools and in the community throughout the year. Each student was given a $200 gift card to buy gifts for their families and themselves. Michele Paget with Hillside Centre says Cop Shop is about building bridges and its a way for students to see police officers as people.

In the Footsteps of Captain George Vancouver- a few scenes from Vancouver island History of George Vancouver Vancouver entered the Royal Navy at age 13 and accompanied Captain James Cook on his second and third voyages (177275 and 177680). After nine years service in the West Indies, he took command of the expedition to the northwest coast of North America for which he is noted. Departing from England on April 1, 1791, he went by way of the Cape of Good Hope to Australia, where he surveyed part of the southwest coast. After stops at Tahiti and the Hawaiian Islands, Vancouver sighted the west coast of North America at 39°27′ N on April 17, 1792. He examined the coast with minute care, surveying the intricate inlets and channels in the region of Vancouver Island and naming, among others, Puget Sound and the Gulf of Georgia. By August he was negotiating with the Spaniards to take control of their former coastal station at Nootka Sound, off Vancouver Island. Continuing his coastal exploration in April 1793, he surveyed north to 56°44′ N and south to below San Luis Obispo, Calif. In 1794 he sailed to Cooks Inlet, off southern Alaska, and, after a fresh survey of much of the coast north of San Francisco, sailed homeward via Cape Horn, reaching England on Oct. 20, 1794. His Voyage of Discovery to the North Pacific Ocean and Round the World . . . 179095, three volumes with an atlas of maps and plates, was published after his death in 1798.

John — Fri, 28 May 2010 23:49:16 +0000

Since 1979, Vancouverites have been reclaiming waterfront’s industrial land on both sides of False Creek. The south side was virtually an industrial wasteland under the Granville Bridge. Now, Granville Island is a spectacular shopping, dining and entertainment market that is easily reached by car, bus, boat or bike, from any part of the city. A scenic way to get there is to ride the tiny Aquabus ferries from Vancouver’s downtown core and enjoy the waterfront landscape as you travel to this bustling tourist and shopper’s haven.
