David Grove is hoping his parking lot at Metchosin and Lagoon Roads in Colwood will be chock a block with electric vehicles of all kinds tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday, May 8) starting at 4:00 p.m., when one of the world’s most exciting electric vehicles will make a very special appearance at the Royal Bay Bakery (3337 Metchosin Road).

“I’m inviting everyone I can think of to come and see the Tesla and learn more about electric vehicles, including the VTRUX, a full size 4X4 pick-up truck. People often say they are interested in electric, but because of their work or recreational needs, require a pick-up. This is a real opportunity for them to do some tire-kicking close to home,” said Grove. Both vehicles are making a special appearance at the Royal Bay Bakery after hearing how David and his team have embraced solar power and are now offering EV charging at their Colwood location.

Everyone’s invited to come and meet Kent Rathwell of Sun Country Highway and his Tesla Roadster, both hot off their recent history-making trek from Saskatoon to the Vancouver International Auto Show.

David Grove and partner Gwen Snyder are clearly converts to electric vehicle driving having purchased a Nissan Leaf earlier this year, and according to an ecstatic Grove, “We’d love to show Kent a warm Vancouver Island welcome, so I’m hoping that everyone who’s already driving electric will try to stop by, too!”

If you’re interested in knowing more about electric vehicles or are already driving an electric car, truck, scooter, electric-assist bicycle come join in the fun at the Royal Bay Bakery, Tuesday, May 8 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. For more information, call David at 250.478.3717.

OUR FORESTS — VISION FOR THE FUTURE
Last year, opposition by thousands motivated CRD to refuse residential developments along the Juan de Fuca Trail as inconsistent with our regional vision. The Regional Growth Strategy is now being revised. SO now is the time for residents to come together and create a positive vision for the forest resource lands which occupy two thirds of CRD land area (on Vancouver Island), and to identify next steps.
Hear what the panelists and other residents think. Share your knowledge and suggestions for the future of these lands.
Program includes: short film by Maeva Gauthier
Panelists for Sooke: Rosie Betsworth, president of Port Renfrew Chamber of Commerce and a leader on ecotourism issues; Bill Bourgeois, founder of the Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities Initiative; and Vicky Husband, Order of Canada-decorated environmental advocate.
Panelists for Victoria: David Anderson, former federal Minister of the Environment, Ken Wu, advocate for protection of old-growth forests, and Ben Parfitt, resource economist with Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.
Sponsored by the Jordan River Steering Group

Suggestion: at a minimum rename ‘Council Meetings’ to ‘Council & Committee Meeting Schedules’ or better yet have the ‘Council & Committee Schedules’ as its own tab under City Hall. It is way too many clicks to view the basic info. on when public meetings of Council and its committees are scheduled to be held.
