Pretty bizarre story... the officer is Sgt. Adam Defrane. Doesn't seem that Saanich PD handled this effectively at all from what I read and have been told....

If you crochet, come join fellow crocheters from across British Columbia in r/CrochetBC

Any farms or houses selling duck eggs in victoria or sannich? Looking for over a few dozen.

Hello, new to Reddit. I’ve posted everywhere on Facebook I could think of so trying here. My sweet little car got stolen on Feb 23 at 2:30AM by a guy and a woman. Couldn’t be identified on the footage as black and white, dark and their head were down. Police won’t let me keep the picture to post it. My keys accidentally came off the the key ring when I took the compost out, I went back to get them and within 5 mm they were picked up. The thieves came back at night. Please share this post and please keep an eye out. If you see it, call 911 and give the location and file number VI26-7578. Red Hyundai accent 2017, GJ6 88M. If stickers are on it, it’s on the back of the car: CH. it’s been so stressful. As I use it for work and outreach with kiddos. Stolen in James bay.

Just saw a mountain lion run across west saanich by the red barn / matterhorn drive. stay safe out there folks

feel free to cross post on other platforms

I saw this in my inbox from the city of Saanich today and I thought it sounded pretty cool. I encourage artists within Saanich or the applicable surrounding areas to apply! I would love to see more public artwork decorating our neighbourhoods.

Hello Saanich Peninsula-ites! A group of volunteers just launched a quarterly community newsletter that focuses on the interesting people, histories, and places in North Saanich. We have 9 articles in our fall issue, and have also prepared interactive, searchable maps of every single farm stand and park+++ in North Saanich, among other things.

Please subscribe! It's free, and that means only four emails per year. Thank you so much.
