‘Emotional day’: 173-foot totem in Alert Bay deemed unsafe, removed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world’s tallest totem pole soared with the eagles and swayed in the salty ocean winds for more than 50 years. The 173-foot pole was erected in Alert Bay in 1973 as a symbol of unity for 22 Kwakwaka’wakw tribes, marking a celebration of the return of the potlatch after it was outlawed by the federal government for more than 60 years. It held its place in the Guinness Book of World Records until last Wednesday, when the pole came down in a series of carefully staged pulls with an excavator. De
Ex-biker clubhouse to become beacon of hope for trades workers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Travis Shupe was in his early 20s, eager to show his skills on the job, when he fell three storeys at a construction site. The injuries, and the opioids he was prescribed to manage the pain, sent the Victoria carpenter into a spiral of addiction and deep depression that lasted for 20 years, he says. “In the workplace we have deadlines, we have toxic masculinity.

Meet the goats helping Langford clear brush and raise wildfire awareness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cookie, Lucy and Bunny seem to love their work as they lean into a gnarly patch of Himalayan blackberry, bamboo and willow along a busy Langford roadway. Passersby are double-taking, and parents with small children are stopping to watch the small herd of goats munching happily in the thorny tangle outside Starlight Stadium. The little herd of different goat breeds — Toggenburger, La Mancha and Saanan — are working for the Langford Fire Department, clearing a fire hazard of invasive species while
