Was it eight, or seven? Four year terms began in the last term, didn’t they?...
Lisa Helps [is the] outgoing mayor of Victoria, British Columbia...She narrowly defeated incumbent mayor Dean Fortin in the 2014 municipal election...

It’s weirder that the mayor of Nanaimo made a written pledge to the covenant. This stuff should just exist like a book in the library. A suggestion. A reference. Not a covenant.Covenant is an interesting word to use to describe what is otherwise a pledge.
Weird.
Covenant:
A binding agreement; a compact. synonym: agreement.
A condition in a contract such as a deed or lease, nonperformance or violation of which gives rise to a cause of action for breach.
A contract.
It’s also weird our press doesn’t look at this
It wasn’t until Alberta’s premier cancelled their agreement with the WEF over “information sharing” on healthcare that the press even mentioned that existed.

It's not so weird when you consider who funds the mainstream media.

“The Global Covenant of Mayors Canada is a collaboration between the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, ICLEI Canada, the Global Covenant of Mayors Secretariat and the International Urban Cooperation Project supported by funding from the European Union. The initiative combines two leading domestic climate programs, the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program and Building Adaptive and Resilient Communities (BARC), with the leading global climate program. Together we can further advance Canadian local climate action by adding value, opportunities and streamlined support for members.”

But what about the street crime and potholes?

Is Victoria 3.0 anything more than some fancy pipe dream?
https://www.capitald...-victoria-mayor
“My dream for Victoria 3.0 is that people would embrace that as the new vision for the city,” Helps said, speaking in particular about people bringing applications to create businesses or change the city’s built environment. “I want it to be…the community's economic action plan. And that's what's happened.”
A key component of the plan involves creating an Arts and Innovation District centred along Store Street, near the now-former location of Capital Iron.
Making the vision for the district a reality will involve broad rezoning of the area, opening opportunities for artist studios and residences, as well as tech sector investment. City staff are currently working on the changes to the district, and Helps hopes the planning will be finished in the coming year.
“I hope that the council and the public take the time to get that rezoning right and then it really will set the table for some really good economic outcomes in that part of town,” Helps said.

Let’s ease off the skinny pedal for a second. It’s all market driven, so when you put the onus on the public to get it right, that implies under someone else’s leadership they got it wrong if it doesn’t pan out like it’s promised to by an outgoing mayor.
There is no money from artist studios in new-build construction. It’s the antithesis of the art world to be leading the charge with purpose-built projects like this.
At best, the art gallery will move there. But its leadership has been reluctant to leave Moss Street.

If you look at the 3.0 hub map it’s essentially Pandora to Bay to Douglas. Ain’t going to happen that way.

Masterplanned in every way. That simply doesn’t work.
Look at Dockside, or Bayview. So much was envisioned that both struggled to get the interesting stuff built. We seem to want to keep emulating that model over and over in Victoria.

Meanwhile, Harris Green is on the cusp of delivering 1,500-units of housing, a downtown park, a heap of new commercial inventory at the hands of a developer that can pull it all off, and just watch. It’s going to be a grind to get it approved.

The “unplanned” Cook Street Village is more vibrant.
