The provincial government is looking to buy or lease another hotel or vacant residential building in Greater Victoria to house hundreds of people without homes before the end of March, says B.C.’s . . .
VICTORIA Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps and Coun. Jeremy Loveday have tabled a motion calling for the expedited approval and funding of ‘tiny home’ clusters in the parking lot of Royal Athletic Park. The tiny homes, which would be made out of converted shipping containers by local development company Aryze Developments, would house 30 unsheltered people currently living in the city. Currently, unsheltered people are already living in tents at Royal Athletic Park after the city and BC Housing moved the campers from Central Park to the parking lot due to recent flooding. The recent motion tabled by Helps and Loveday would be part of the city’s plan to house all unsheltered people in Victoria by the end of March.
The parking lot next to Royal Athletic Park is being pitched as a possible site for 30 tiny houses built from shipping containers and made available to people without homes. Victoria Mayor Lisa . . .

I am really very disappointed with very slow rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations. British Columbia has received more than 50,000 doses of both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines; however, only 17,510 people have been vaccinated. Why can’t this process be accelerated? We had more than three months to train in handling these vaccines. I admire and thank all the front-line health workers who are working round the clock to take care of British Colombians. I wish our senior public health care executives do the same. In my opinion, the lag between receiving the vaccines and administering should not be more than three or four days.
