Belleville terminal case raises many questions The business case for the $303.9 million Belleville terminal project on the B.C, government website raises issues that should concern taxpayers. 1.

It appears that the B.C. taxpayer is exposed to liability for a significant chunk of the $303.9 million with no funding commitment from the federal government, no agreement with Black Ball and the Clipper as to their contribution to the redevelopment costs, and no agreement has been reached of future usage fees.

In my experience of life in a public company, if we had published documents like this we would have encountered the wrath of the directors, regulators and the shareholders.Fix Centennial Square, but keep that fountain Having grown up with the privilege of meeting most of Victoria’s Limner Art Group, celebrated during the 1960s and 1970s, I am disappointed in the suggestion to tear down the iconic Jack Wilkinson Fountain in Centennial Square — a part of our artistic heritage.

Victoria council should think carefully before destroying another piece of Victoria’s history. Centennial Square could be reconfigured with its Wilkinson sculpture as a highlight rather than an eyesore.Sad day for ping‑pong enthusiasts? I note that the outdoor ping-pong table, which a previous council thought was a good use of public money and space that used to be a roadway — Humboldt just east of Douglas — has been removed.

I have a splendid idea to ponder, and perhaps to act upon so our ping-pong table does not sit in storage any longer. What good is an environmentally friendly vehicle going to do for global warming sitting in a fire hall most of the time? This prompts us to consider Victoria’s friendlier climate, suggesting a prolonged swim season. This summer has proven that Victorians could soak up Vitamin D on an outdoor pool deck much longer than our friends in Ontario.
