Traveled from Manitoba and had to buy bear spray for all the hikes I’ve been doing. Can’t fly back with it. Does anyone know of a better way to dispose of it other than giving it to the Heartland Dump to dispose of it as hazardous waste? Seems wasteful to just toss it.

Is there any place that it can be donated to? Brand new can that has never been used. I’ll be back in the Victoria area tomorrow.

My partner and I are planning a trip to Victoria (from Seattle) in late October. Due to work commitments, we probably can only do this on a Monday (maybe staying one night). She’s concerned about whether there will be enough shops and restaurants open on a Monday and at that time of year to make the trip worthwhile, and I have no way of knowing…

Tried asking the internet but with Ai only too happy to make stuff up, I don’t trust any answers!

So I ask the good folks of Reddit instead - is it worth it or should we plan on a summer and or weekend trip instead?

After their announcement earlier today about protecting farms, I think for the very first time they actually have my vote.

Hi there, anyone know of a place in Victoria or on Van Island that sells taller cedar trees (Emerald green, 6 foot+) for hedges at landscaper/wholesale prices? We need about 30 to replace a hedge and are looking for a better deal than offered at Gardenworks and other garden supply companies. We'd like quality trees so please don't suggest Home Depot. Thank you!

Hi! I'm located in the Cowichan Valley and was wondering where might I look to buy alfalfa and timothy hay in bulk? My rabbits eat too much for the 20oz bags at 20 dollars to be worth it anymore. They're still young right now, so all I need to buy is the alfalfa, but I'll need to switch them over to timothy in about half a year.
