Good evening, Victoria! It was a busy weekend in Victoria, with a massive fire tearing through the former Traveller’s Inn building on Queens Avenue Saturday. In a concerning update, police say one person remains unaccounted for, while dozens of people have been displaced.
We also had a big weekend of election coverage, with voters heading to the polls for BC's provincial election just one week after the municipal elections.
In other news, BC Ferries is undergoing a leadership shakeup following the departure of its CEO, along with plenty of other local stories we've been covering.
And with Halloween just around the corner, we're highlighting some fun events and places to take the kids trick-or-treating!
The good news? Saturday is shaping up to be mostly dry, with a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures around 11°C during the day.
Thanks for reading, and have a great week!
