Good evening, Victoria! The final weekend of August is shaping up to be a cooler one. Saturday will bring a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 19°C, while Sunday is expected to be cloudy with a high of 18°C.
If you’re looking for something fun to do, our latest weekend things to do list is ready to go! We’ve rounded up plenty of events and activities happening around Greater Victoria to help you make the most of the weekend.
In other exciting news, our original Facebook page has officially been reactivated by Meta!
Following the Online News Act, we spent several years unable to access the page or communicate with the more than 137,000 people who followed us there. Needless to say, we’re thrilled to have it back!
Our team is now discussing the best way to manage the page moving forward, including the possibility of merging it with our newer page so readers aren’t confused by updates appearing in multiple places.
Between our original page, our newer page and our Facebook group, we can now connect with a combined community of nearly 200,000 people across Greater Victoria.
Stay tuned for more updates, and have a fantastic weekend!
