Beautiful!  Much more appealing than looking at bridge girders.

There is a cull every year on Sidney Island.  Excellent venison, slightly salty from all the sea grass they eat.

 

Venison is widely available from at least four distributors locally.  Probably more.

The strata that owns most of Sidney island (privately owned) runs annual deer culls already, the delicious meat is available on some local menus in season and is widely available through Two Rivers Meats out of Vancouver - they distribute on the island as well.

A mobile abattoir is brought to the island for on-site processing.

It's truly over-run with deer. Delicious, delicious deer.

Thank you Matt! Now I remember.

European fallow deer — a different species from the native black-tailed deer — were introduced to James Island for sport hunting at the turn of the century.

The population then spread to Sidney Island, where, for the past four years, the Sallas Forest Strata Corp. — made up of island property owners — and Parks Canada have collaborated on an annual cull. Using a corral system, bolt guns and a mobile meat processor, they’ve reduced the population from about 2,000 to 300.

However, the fallow deer population on Mayne Island, which ballooned after an escape from a deer farm two decades ago, is continuing to grow despite a licensed hunter program.

Some of the animals have now island-hopped to Saturna. - See more at: http://www.timescolo...h.e6KV3RWs.dpuf

I don't know if it was just because it was venison I can honestly say that was the best in restaurant meal I've ever had the pleasure of eating, it was delicious, tasteful, tantalizing and savory. I licked my plate clean in honor of a little fellow.

 

The staff, service and ambience was excellent at Terrazzo!

 

Thanks Gary!

 

Still going to have my front yard venison tea party BBQ but now I know what to strive for!

I am not sure if this has already been posted, but Brown's Socialhouse has started the tenant improvements for their new restaurant in the Uptown complex.

Where is this going in?

[gumgum]

Near of Carey and Douglas, North of Sizziling Tandour.

Ohhhh really?! Brown's at Uptown? Good. Although they also need a family friendly place for good.

[29er Radio]

i noted they were working on an old restaurant space in the mall owned by hansbraun just north of uptown which is right by carey. i wonder if that is where it is going

No, it's going in Uptown itself.  There's more details on the Uptown thread.

I take my kids to the Brown's downtown. It is kid friendly? Not so much but I make it so. Screw the man.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they accommodated kids more at the Uptown location. To do otherwise would be a mistake.

 

Edit: I seem to remember the last time I was there the waitress informed me of a kids "Secret Menu".

[Matt R.]

[lanforod]

That's three times the price of a quality Angus striploin. For meat that is running around free.
