connect them with a wire, and tell them they're connected now so go take a hike.

They are all wired together, waiting to see if that's good enough. Should only been 4-6 weeks for an answer on that one.  It's been an interesting process and something new. I couldn't imaging trying to actually build anything here.  These are just craned into place some concrete footings, barely more than paving stones.

 

If we turned one into a gym, I would even be on topic.

Let's not get too crazy.

It was a first for Victoria and the province: a gym designed for people with disabilities, but Move Adaptive Fitness has suddenly found themselves in the red.

“This all stems from a breach of duty from our former treasurer. Taxes were not paid for a number of months, and we did not know,” said Joanne Rogers, founder of Move Adaptive Fitness.

Rogers says the board found out about the negligence when they were told they’d lost their charity status. They owe $125,000 in past due taxes to the CRA, and that’s also just the start of the malpractice.

“It turns out we’re also behind in our rent,” said Rogers.

Rogers says since they lost their charity status, their accountant, aside from giving the gym another accountant’s information, has ghosted them.

“No, we haven’t spoken face to face with her since it all happened,” said Rogers.

I skimmed through their blog post. What stands out to me is that they didn't seem to get annual, quality audits. Audits should have uncovered these issues back in 2022 or so.

Rare chance to purchase a street-level retail strata unit recently improved to an exemplary standard as a move-in-ready fitness facility (improvements alone worth a replacement value of over $600k). The subject property benefits from high ceilings, air conditioning throughout, floor-to-ceiling windows, washrooms, showers, and in-suite laundry capabilities. This is also the only commercial unit in the project with a dedicated parking stall. For those that are interested, the gym equipment and franchise opportunity are available and can also be negotiated Situated within the Abacus, a high end condo project, the subject property is located at the cultural hub of downtown Victoria, right between the Old Town District and Chinatown. Sharing the same block as both Market Square and Fan Tan Alley, the subject premises is well-positioned to benefit from ample foot traffic year-round from locals and tourists alike.
