Happy Monday, Victoria!

We’re back from the weekend with some lovely weather, but here’s your heads-up to make the most of those evening walks: this is our last week of sunsets after 7 p.m.

We also have something close to our hearts to share. We’ve launched Vancouver Island Obituaries, a free place to share the stories of people connected to our Island. We’re welcoming both recent obituaries and older ones, so their memories and their connection to Vancouver Island have a place to live on. ~ www.vancouverislandobituaries.com

In today’s news, five MLAs have rejoined the BC Conservatives following Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s resignation over the weekend, as talk of a possible provincial election continues. We’re also looking at what’s next for the long-vacant Oak Bay Lodge site, 12 cruise ship visits expected in Victoria this week, and a new craft drinks festival at Malahat SkyWalk.

Let’s get you caught up!
