VICTORIA The B.C. government should prepare the public for the coming “big shock” when “fairly large chunks” of provincial Crown land are recognized as actually owned and controlled by Indigenous Nations.
So says Jack Woodward, the lawyer who won the case that resulted in the first declaration of Aboriginal title in B.C. and who is taking another title case to court next year.

Map of proposed bikeway on Richardson Street in Victoria.
A cyclist rides on Richardson Street. The bikeway planned for the street has generated vocal opposition, with a flurry of letters to the editor, a petition and an organized social-media presence called Rethink Richardson lobbying city council to revise the design. ADRIAN LAM, TIMES COLONIST Victoria council has opted to continue with an approved plan for a bikeway project on Richardson Street in a 6-3 vote that rejected a motion to delay for further consultation. Under the plan, the physical road will remain mostly the same, with added on-street parking in some areas that will narrow the road, and five traffic diversions that will prevent through-traffic for motor vehicles. Cyclists, who are normally required to ride as close to the right as possible, will share the road with motorists, who can pass a cyclist by pulling around on the cyclist’s left, as they would on any local street.
