Rotting food spread in Kings Nature Space will attract rats - those rats will spread to nearby homes - homeowners will decide to put out rat poison to control the exploding vermin population. As a result dead and dying rats will attract wildlife (owls, ravens, hawks)and dogs to eat. Have you ever seen what happens when rat poison is ingested? It’s horrible- painful . Most rat poisons are anticoagulants (bleeding can’t stop). My personal experience was losing my 9 year old mini dachshund- vets didn’t realize until too late. Toby died in pain. Called Saanich Parks and they explained the renter is not required to remove the garbage. This shows me that dog owners have become the designated scapegoat for Saanich. Spending half a million dollars to create crude fenced corridors to keep dogs restricted to paths is not only a waste of money but an insult to Saanich dog owners.

Great turnout for the IWIST - Vancouver Island Women in Science & Technology holiday AGM. At Hatley Castle Dec 12. I donated a full day of media spokesperson training for seven attendees! What’s nice is how each draw prize had its own basket for tickets so you know the winners wanted the prize 🥳👌

"What mattered, I realized, was not to be some imaginary perfect mentor with all the answers, but to get to know my mentee ... and offer whatever guidance and support I could based on my own experiences."

Media training feedback this week (March 2025) the question I asked workshop participants at DFO. What was the most useful part of today’s training? This answer just made me feel like all the work I do is appreciated “All of it. This was hands-down, the most useful training I’ve had in my public service career. It was the perfect balance of theory and practice.“
