Hmm. Maybe Saanich should pursue something similar to CoV with a residential portion of this project. It's in a prime residential area, there a lot of condos around here, more would be welcome.

It loos like the planning process will be lengthy enough as it is, and they need to get going on this thing pretty quick. They're storing vehicles out in Central Saanich!
Know it all.

Given that the Victoria project appears to be stalled I think that getting a new firehall should be priority #1.

Big changes for this project. It's getting a $500,000 grant through the Province's mass timber demonstration program.
That's right, a wooden fire hall! I can see the clickbait articles now...

I was thinking the same thing! Especially when you factor in this paragraph:
"The research projects will study mass timber’s fire performance, the costs relative to steel and concrete, and carbon benefits."

"A researcher surveying the smoking ruins of the firehall said they've gained valuable data about the fire performance of mass timber."
