Oh, crap, Zellers is gone? I was hoping to stock up on half priced toilet paper...
You're in luck Seb; the Hillside Zeller's should still be open for a couple more months. Of course the only way you'll get half-off on TP there is if they take the 2-ply kind and separate the halves.

Council voted in favour of the development permit application from Target with no requirement for preserving ivy. A Target official could not be reached for comment.
Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard doesn't share Brownoff's ivy issues.
"I don't micro-manage the design of a retail store. I'm more interested in the big picture. And the big picture is that mall is going to get another shot in the arm."
In fact, it makes sense to Leonard to get rid of the plant.
"You want your logo to be prominent. If you're a retailer, you don't want people to drive by and say, 'I wonder what they sell behind that ivy.' "

Frank Leonard, the voice of reason. Good stuff.

Target's architects told Saanich council recently that it may be possible to remove the English ivy and retain the Boston ivy, which covers the wall.

Well if it's evasive, I don't think it would want to grow back and be all exposed like that.
That's the problem with evasive plants. You never really know what their motives are.

^ we have an issue with it at our building. Every year we have a tree service come in the fall to cut it back and rip it out at the roots. Every year it comes back by the next fall.
Nothing some diesel fuel in the soil won't cure permanently.

Would have to sneak and do that under the cover of night. We had a Gerry Oak fail a couple of summers ago and we had bylaw enforcement show up because we had a tree service come in to remove the downed tree from the driveway. Seems several neighbours complained about the desecration of a downed protected tree.... :rolleyes:

And Frank Leonard is right to step up and clarify council's authority when it comes to design decisions.
