Westhore Town Centre Movie Day
Good evening, Victoria!

Halloween is just around the corner, and we're thinking about putting together a Halloween House Map featuring some of the best-decorated and spookiest homes around Greater Victoria!

Would you use it? And better yet, do you know a house or neighbourhood that's gone all out for Halloween? Reply to this email and let us know! If there's enough interest, we'll try to have a map ready for everyone to explore this weekend.

And for all you hockey fans, we've got something new to the newsletter! We've added a Victoria Royals below that will be updated every week, making it easier than ever to keep track of upcoming games, whether the Royals are playing at home or on the road.

Now, let's get into today's headlines!
