Vehicles are parked along the Oak Bay avenue, a flat road that requires no safety precautions for parking. When parking on a steep hill, however, drivers must turn the wheels the appropriate way before exiting the vehicle, write Steve Wallace. TIMES COLONIST Every driver should be paying attention to the little things. Sadly, many are not thinking of the less-than-obvious safety behaviours. One example is a safe street parking plan on hills. Turning the vehicle wheels the appropriate way, should be second nature. Drivers should turn them away from the street, except when parking uphill with an obstructive curb. If a parked vehicle is bumped or has a brake failure, the turn of the wheels should take it away from moving traffic.

Two years ago, Diana Bosse went to the ER with intense abdominal pain and was blindsided by the doctor’s diagnosis, diffuse large b-cell lymphoma.
West Island teen Jesse Briscoe along with Canadian track star Andre De Grasse are inviting Canadian kids coast-to-coast to join in on a Virtual Challenge called âRACE WITH MEâ.
Young Canadians are encouraged through the campaign to hit their local tracks from May 1 to June 25, for a 400-meter run. Participants are then encouraged to go back weekly to improve their run time. Family members from the same household can record times and capture photos and videos to be shared online.
Net proceeds from donations will go to youth mental health charities, such as Kids Help Phone, through the Andre De Grasse Family Foundation.
At the beginning of the pandemic, security concerns prevailed downtown as people living on the streets suddenly had no access to shelter or municipal washrooms and tried to access private facilities. In addition, the ongoing requirements for extra sanitization are time consuming, costly and an increased health risk for staff (and really, would require a full time bathroom attendant for busier places). I would suggest that one should assume there will be no washroom and plan ahead. Go to the toilet before you leave the house. Eat or drink after you run errands.
