Happy Tuesday, everyone, and welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving long weekend filled with good food, great company, and a little time to relax. Whether you spent it with family and friends or simply enjoyed some much-needed downtime, we hope it was a great one!
We're back at it today, and there's plenty happening across Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island as we head into another busy fall week.
In today's roundup, we're celebrating a major milestone as Victoria's cruise ship season reaches the one million passenger mark for the first time! We're also looking at the return of the world's best curlers for the Grand Slam of Curling and a forecast showing that fall weather is finally settling in.
We're also sharing details on a free Halloween pet parade, a fundraiser honouring a motorcyclist who died in a Saanich collision, and the latest local election news.
Grab a coffee, get comfortable, and catch up on what's happening around our community!
