Again from the police blog.
"Since June of last year officers from our Street Crime Unit have been leading an extensive undercover project."
Operation "Fowl Play"
I'll say.

This just in! men found drinking too much alcohol and snorting cocaine in the bathroom while watching women undress in a strip club down town! The needed a full on sting operation to figure that out???
That's how lame this whole thing is. I'm not sure how any of the activities listed were of serious harm to the general public. There was nobody under-age, there was no selling of crack or heroine to seriously addicted users, a waitress that had a shooter or two with customers is probably not the end of the world. Someone walking out with a $6 drink, shouldn't that be a more serious offence for the person that does it than the bar? I'm sure nobody is sneaking out $6 drinks to sell individually to underagers. And is that more serious than someone that drives up to the bar finishing off a $15 six-pack? And customers being undressed, who the heck was complaining?

The big penalty here is to the owner of the facility. Was he aware of the actions of his employees? Apparently he/she should have been.
Was the owner of Island Outfitters aware of the activities of "Lucky" that stole a humongous amount of firearms? 159 to be exact.
Was Island Outfitters closed?
Why not?

Milne has filed a rezoning application to the city and hopes to have a public hearing within eight weeks. Once GMC Projects takes possession, he expects the hotel will continue to operate until the application is approved by city council.
The scope of the project has not changed significantly since the first announcement. The proposed $14-million development would add two storeys to the four-storey building.
"We're trying to keep the character of the area, but make the new portion of the building modern-looking," Milne said. "It's not currently a very nice-looking building from a heritage perspective … But from the historic pictures, it was (at one point). We're planning to return it to its former glory."
The development proposal includes 30 units of below-market rate rental housing.

I don't think the new ownership is anywhere close to a done deal.

^ Absolutely VHF, I don't understand the logic.

So the perp was charged today of selling the firearms that he stole from his employer and the redistributed.
Why would the province penalize the proprietor who's employees conducted themselves improperly at Monty's,.......and not penalize the proprietor of an employee that was responsible for the control of deadly weapons.

What does that mean? It's <I>historic past</I> as the Century Inn (1965); or as the Westholme Hotel (1911); or as the Prince Hotel (1908) or a mix of both?
The new structure to be built beside it is a condo tower?
I agree a change is long overdue as the hotel and its' notorious pub, Monty's continues to deteriorate and make the news for all the wrong reasons.
Too bad the old Westholme section (southern section of the Victoria Plaza) couldn't be salvaged and renovated.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with for the wasteland on the Pandora side.

Here are the latest renderings for the Plaza project which have been recently submitted to the City for rezoning. The proposal involves the conversion of the hotel to market condominiums with some additional rental units. The ground floor will be converted to commercial retail/restaurant uses with a public plaza proposed at the Pandora frontage utilizing property currently used as a vehicle pullout. The existing 4 storey heritage building will be rehabilitated and a 2 storey addition set back from the Government Street façade is proposed. The existing 60’s vintage one storey addition on Pandora Street will be removed and a new 6 storey addition constructed with the upper 2 floors set back from the façade. Underground parking will be created within the existing basement.

There are no condo towers planned.

So it is GMC Projects, not LEAGUE, correct?
League is raising money to development the property!
Engineered for growth, the IGW Diversified Redevelopment Fund focuses on redevelopment projects where LEAGUE can drive more value for our Member Partners. One of the properties that will be in the fund is The Plaza Hotel, located in Victoria, BC. We recorded this short video there this week describing the opportunity at that building and the fund overall, so please view the video and if you have any questions, we would be pleased to answer them on the conference call. On the call will be David Fullbrook who is our Managing Director championing these developments and Brad Simpson, our Chief Investment Officer.

I could also draw a "rendering"of what is to be proposed on this site.
Have a look at the "current" re-zoning applications to the city,I see "0" in regards to this project.
all is willy-nilly hear-say as far as I am concerned.
And by the way,There have been no arrests or charges laid in regards to the infractions that have occured at Monty's during this investigation.
I did my research...............
check for yourselves...........
