bc: Victoria's Victoria - The background to our Capital City - 08/29/11 11:33 AM
The city of Victoria was named after Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901. The distant Pacific shore of North America, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island grew and transformed as the young 18 year old Queen was also growing into her role.

bc: Which Would You Rather Be & Why - A Seller Agent or a Buyer Agent? - 07/29/11 08:58 PM
BUYING OR SELLING OR BOTH?
There are pros and cons for both sides of course! And many agents only work from one side or the other, but it would be interesting to hear the percentage of Realtors - obviously the majority - who work both ends of real estate transactions, i.e. acting for both buyers and sellers, compared to agents who advertise themselves as one or the other.
In addition, covering both ends of a transaction brings challenges ...
so, let's hear about the drawbacks and the successes from both aspects of the … (15 comments)

bc: VICTORIA DAY IN VICTORIA, BC - 05/18/11 04:56 PM
Victoria Day (Monday May 23 this year) is a statutory holiday in Canada, except for the Atlantic Provinces (why not the Atlantic provinces? I don't really know!)
This coming long weekend (May 22/23) is a lasting reminder of our colonial history. It falls on the weekend before Memorial Day in the United States.
Victoria Day is officially the Sovereign's birthday. It dates back to 1845 with Queen Victoria's birthday. After the Queen died, Parliament established May 23 or 24, as a legal holiday.
Since 1952 the celebration of Victoria has made the event the first long weekend … (2 comments)

bc: What's the Difference Between a Farrier and a Blacksmith? - 10/10/10 04:06 PM
My young son has recently begun riding lessons and this week I mentioned to my parents (who are originally from the UK) that the Farrier was due to arrive at the riding school. My Mom said " We always used to call him the Blacksmith or 'Smithy' when we were young."
So, that became the discussion as to the difference between the two terms, and here's what I found ...
A Blacksmith makes and repairs things made of iron or steel. The village blacksmith repaired much of the farming items, but in "the olden days" (Mom!!), the blacksmith was also required … (6 comments)
