- 🧵Victoria Voices in Action: Community Listening Sessions Update Earlier this week, I hosted two community listening sessions and heard directly from residents about what’s working, what’s not, and what needs attention. Thank you to everyone who showed up and shared honestly.
- What we heard: 🏘 Housing & Homelessness Affordability, family housing, and better coordination across governments remain top concerns. Shelter access, safe spaces, storage, Extreme Weather Response communication, and culturally grounded support for Indigenous community members were highlighted.
- 🚲 Bike Lanes & Infrastructure Strong support for active transportation, with practical examples from other cities. 🎭 Arts & Culture Access to venue space and fair pay remain priorities. 🌱 Climate & Transportation Emissions, traffic flow, and the everyday impacts of development were discussed.
