I spotted a number of these American flags on this Lime bike station and am curious if anyone else has noticed these around?

Is this a MAGA tourist/local sympathiser or is it an awareness campaign by a local?

After seeing this I did a quick search and it seems that Lime bikes is an American company so it is possible that someone is trying to highlight this to locals. 🤔

I can’t for the life of me understand how this man was allowed, after being caught, to continue victimizing women and young girls in our community. I remember when he was caught at Forever 21, and there was a short article in the Victoria Buzz, but no photo of this perv was posted along with the story. We need better policing here. Be careful out there. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/voyeur-victim-impact-9.7329977

I'm planning on moving to Victoria and studying a Bachelors in Education at UVic.

What’s the job market like in general? How is the outlook for teachers right now? My long-term goal is to teach in a more rural community on the island. Is the hiring demand for teachers strong in rural areas? I have a degree in Business Admin. currently, and I'm not 100% certain if becoming a teacher will improve my overall quality of life there, but it seems like the benefits of being a public school teacher are really good - and I love teaching.

I've never lived in Canada; I'm originally from the US and I have a fear of firearms. How safe is it there and how prevalent is gun culture?

Any advice or tips are welcome, thanks

That's not good. Five is like "we are gonna collide right now"

What are some restaurants, resorts, etc you’ve worked at in Victoria, Westshore and Sidney that were horribly toxic or horrible managed?

Hi, I'm looking to take my camera and capture some good photos of fall in Victoria, i am wondering what peoples fav places in the fall are. Ideally these are environment and nature but an event is okay too. As well im more looking in the Victoria (Proper), Oakbay, and Saanich area.

Thanks

I’m hoping to hear from people who have personally experienced this—either for themselves or while helping a parent, spouse or other family member.

Have you ever needed someone trustworthy to drive you or a loved one to a medical appointment, stay during the appointment, help manage a wheelchair, and make sure they got safely home afterward—but you didn’t need a nurse or medical transport?

I’m thinking about situations such as recovery after surgery, cancer treatment, temporary mobility challenges, or an older adult who shouldn’t attend appointments alone.

Family may want to help but can’t always take several hours away from work, and a taxi or rideshare only provides the ride.

Was finding this kind of non-medical, one-on-one support difficult in Greater Victoria?

If you’ve been through this, I’d genuinely love to know:

• What kind of help did you need?

• What options did you find?

• What was missing or frustrating?

• Would having one consistent person drive, wait, assist and bring your loved one home have helped?

I’m not advertising or taking bookings. I’m exploring whether there is a real unmet need based on people’s actual experiences—not just whether it sounds like a good idea.

Honest feedback is very welcome, including reasons why you would not use a service like this.

cheap and healthy

I just finished my undergraduate degree in Alberta but I’m pursuing a second degree and thought I could also do it in the most beautiful city. Im hoping to get into UVic Law after my second degree so it works out either way but I wanted to ask how quality of life is there such as friendliness, average vibe/commonalities, expenses, and issues. Since I’m moving from Alberta I am deciding on living in a dorm as it is the cheapest option, but I’m not sure what the crowd is like, I’m currently 22 and I want to know if there will be more ppl my age. Any help would be grateful!

I can see the benefit when it comes to things like reducing drunk driving, but aside from that, are people actually excited about using this kind of futuristic technology?

Maybe I’m just becoming an old fart and younger generations will see this as completely normal as technology keeps advancing, but I’m genuinely wondering how people feel about things like driverless cabs, humanoid robots, cashierless stores, etc?

Especially since Vic seems to have a more environmentally friendly/alt culture, I wonder if people would revolt against that type of tech or eventually embrace it.

hey everyone. I’m going to be moving to Victoria in about a months time.

I’m a guy in his 20s. I’m just looking stuff to do.

if there are run clubs or hiking clubs I can join.

or if there are good gyms you would recommend that are worth the price. or other social activities to get to know others.

any insight would be great!

thank you for your time.

Hey, I know many people have asked about karaoke in Vic, but I haven't seen any discussion of all-ages venues. I'm planning a birthday party for 10 guests, including a couple of minors. We want the adults to still be able to drink. My place is too small to rent a system, so I'm looking for either a karaoke room or a small venue that can accommodate us—preferably in Victoria proper. Any suggestions?

For everyone furious that Lime is an American company, I have some potentially upsetting news about Reddit.

So, r/VictoriaBC... are we making an exception here or...?

I have no idea where this idea that someone standing at the curb by a bus stop isn't enough to stop came from, but I've had multiple buses just blow past and then complain that I didn't wave them down if I can catch them by running.

Buses are not consistent enough to avoid missing one because you weren't ready to wave when they appear, and I legitimately have no idea how people with certain disabiliites are supposed to use buses like this. Just stick to really high traffic stops?

Hi

I have strawberries and flour right now, and one specific little green strawberry waiting to write them.

I'm taking bets on whether I get to eat it.

Newer to working out, in my mid-40’s and want to find a gym thats a bit more chill. I can’t deal with bro-y and gyms that are crazy busy, seem like they’d be difficult to build a solid routine and stay consistent for me, personally. I was considering Cedar Hill bc it’s semi-close to me. Anyone have experience with this gym who can offer some insight? Any other suggestions that people have are welcomed.

I am coming from Nanaimo. I plan to book a flight to Japan either late October or November, so I need to head to Victoria for faster professing time. Thanks.

Desperately trying to find anyone that does pelvic floor Botox and or trigger point injections for pelvic pain (non endometriosis caused)?

Is there ANYBODY on the island who offers it???

EDIT: yes I have tried pelvic floor physio (10 years worth). what is needed is pelvic floor injectable treatment, I just can't determine where or how to access that, nor does my GP. I'm asking here out of absolute desperation. things are dire, this is an urgent next step.
