An incident this month where a cyclist had her bike pulled out of her hands on a downtown Victoria street wasn’t the first such theft in the city. In January, another cyclist had her bike stolen out from under her. Harlow Donald was on her regular ride home from work, heading north on the Galloping Goose on Jan. 25 just after 6 p.m., when she saw a man standing in an underpass below Burnside Road.

Four people were rescued Sunday morning by marine search and rescue crews after becoming stranded on a small island near Nanaimo. Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue crews responded to a mayday call just after 11:30 a.m., said Russell Berg, media liaison for RCMSAR 27 in Nanaimo. Crews arrived to find four people on Snake Island, he said. A Hullo Ferries vessel had already launched a small rescue boat when the RCMSAR vessel pushed up onto the rocky shore to rescue the four people, Berg said.

“I believe change needs to happen,” @adriandix said re Providence Health's policy banning medically assisted death in its health facilities. His statement comes after my story about Sam O'Neill who was forced to transfer out of St. Paul's to receive MAID https://t.co/FIYR7LtLHs
I’m rising from the Twitter dead to say hello, I’m back at the @timescolonist! My body is (mostly) recovered from hiking approximately 1 million miles (okay, 2,650) on the PCT, but I think my heart will always be a little bit wild. What’s new on the Island? Open to story ideas! https://t.co/jtvfVtgUYv
Callout: I'm looking for groups of gal pals who are celebrating Galentines Day next week and willing to chat with me about their plans for a story in the @timescolonist ! Email is in my bio or you can send me a message :)
