david stevens: We're so lucky to be living in Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
- 07/10/09 01:25 PM
It's true ... we take our beautiful Vancouver Island for granted.
Yesterday, a family member arrived from Europe. She has never been to Vancouver Island before and is so enthralled with Victoria, commenting that "it's like being on permanent vacation here - the ocean and sandy beach is just across the road, the weather is beautiful and everywhere is clean and green."
Yes, Vancouver Island is called Paradise Island for good reason - we should just keep reminding ourselves how lucky we are!

david stevens: First Time Buyers - What are they thinking?
- 05/18/09 03:30 PM
I have heard so much about real estate lately from "first time buyers" who say they want to wait until the market "crashes"!!
I would love to know - When is the market going to crash in Victoria?
Fact is, first time buyers rarely seem to purchase when the market is a "buyers" market, for the simple reason that it is not low enough for them.
As history shows, those buyers always purchase in an "up" market because they then feel the need to buy before it is too late or before they lose out.
It would be interesting to … (4 comments)

One of Victoria’s most popular annual summer events, the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival is a wonderful combination of culture and sport.

The Dragon Boat Festival - "Duan Wu Jie" in Chinese - is traditionally celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Most believe dragon boat festivals were established to commemorate a great patriot poet, Qu Yuan. Dragon boat racing is not only one … (1 comments)

david stevens: ** Living on an Island ...**
- 06/16/08 03:10 AM
I came from an Island (Britain), and have lived on an Island (Vancouver Island, BC) since I was 9 years old, but the Island I like to visit is a tiny one here in British Columbia ... Portland Island. Access is only by boat or kayak and it's located between Salt Spring Island and Sidney on Vancouver Island. There are 10 kilometres of walking trails around Portland Island and it really is a wonderful place to visit.
Although now uninhabited it was the site of a First Nations' village, and Hawaiian immigrants who settled there in the 1880's. Consequently, there are fruit trees, … (0 comments)
