Good evening, Victoria! We’re rolling toward the weekend with plenty happening across the Island. Lime e-bikes are officially launching in Victoria this Friday, 19 new numbered signs have been installed along Dallas Road to help emergency crews quickly locate people in need, and Hullo Ferries has now carried more than 1.5 million passengers since launching three years ago.
Further up the Island, nearly 120,000 people visited the Parksville Beach Festival this summer. If you’re already planning your Friday, we’ve also rounded up five things to do in and around Victoria.
