@saanichbc.bsky.social I thought taking out what appears to be healthy Garry Oaks was a no no ? Doesn't seem to be the reality on Mayfair Ave ( Mt Tolmie) today .... and if they had a permit, one wonders on what grounds?
Wow- just to SE of me- Oz vs USA. Funny, haven’t been to States since 2016, yet can see it from my house to east: San Juan island and to south- Olympic Peninsular of WA state
