Good evening, Victoria! The Labour Day long weekend is just hours away, and the weather is looking pretty promising for one last summer adventure. Friday will be mainly cloudy with a high of 20°C before a mix of sun and clouds takes over for the rest of the weekend, with temperatures reaching 22°C on Sunday.
We’re putting the finishing touches on our massive Labour Day long weekend things-to-do list, and it will be ready tomorrow—so be sure to check back before making your plans!
In the meantime, we’re taking a closer look at everything happening at the 158th Saanich Fair, including miniature horses, more than 30 midway attractions and two massive concerts included with admission.
Also, an 18-year-old hiker was airlifted from the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail after suffering a head injury, the Bank of Canada held its key interest rate at 2.25%, and the Victoria Royals are getting a new free streaming home on YouTube.
