N.W.T. MLA seeking treatment after impaired driving charge
The MLA for the Mackenzie Delta in the N.W.T. will be taking a leave of absence for a nine-week treatment program in Victoria, B.C., in the wake of a March 16 incident in Fort McPherson where he was charged with impaired driving.

Transplanted some of my #BokChoy & purple #tomatillo plants into larger pots. These starters are all being picked up this weekend by a few of my regular plant buyers here. There's some folks who get plants from me, every year 
Gyromitra esculenta.
A common fungus on southern Vancouver Island in early spring. Guidebooks list it as "toxic" and there have been fatalities recorded from consumption. The primary toxin, gyromitrin, is water soluble so boiling the mushrooms and discarding the water removes most of the toxin. But, gyromtrin hydrolyzes to monomethylhydrazine (aka rocket fuel) that is toxic when inhaled. So prepare them outside or in a room with good ventilation.
People who live in #VictoriaBC or #Saanich, how do you pronounce "Boleskine Road"?
People from elsewhere (especially Scotland) feel free to reply but please don't vote. This is about the road connecting Harriet Road to Saanich Road near the border between Victoria and Saanich. It is not about the area along the shore of Loch Ness even if that's what the road is named after.

@SuffolkBadger Last year, no flys. Some previous years had made the carrots unusable. I’ve a light cloth I can put over them, but either I forget or too lazy…. Early warm/wet spring for me in #VictoriaBC this year, lots of seedlings up already.

The trillums are blooming, which is nice in and of itself, but is also an indictor that the spring fungi should be arriving soon. If I'm lucky, there'll be some morels and verpas where I found them last year around this time.
Also, I learned recently that there’s not two morphs of Trillium: white and purple. But rather that the flowers start out white and change to purple over their lifecycle.
From last Summer. At the BC Government House Music on the Lawns outdoor concert series.

Mixing the tunes of #Ireland and #Scotland, with a heaping spoonful of #Maritime flavour, and a dash of #Folk is their recipe for a modern day kitchen party!

Cleared a bunch of notes from #OpenStreetMap. Did some ground truthing on my bike yesterday and then did the updates today. My helmet cam was being uncooperative and I lost some footage but I was still able to get what I needed.
Still lots of open notes but I put something of a dent in them.
#SilentSunday - early because I'm working tomorrow.

I just got excellent news. Our local #AbleSail Victoria program is opening up earlier this year! Our North Saanich Sidney location opens up for registrations in April. Our Oak Bay/Cadboro Bay location will open for registrations in mid-June. I'm so excited to get back on the ocean again & work on improving my #AdaptiveSailing skills.
I'd love to get my solo #sailing skills up to levels where I can enter to compete in future Mobility Cup regattas.
I just noticed that Cinecenta at #UVic is showing #Tampopo. This is one of the world’s Great Films. If you haven’t seen it and are in Greater #VictoriaBC Go See It.
Not much in the way of spring mushrooms in my area but I did spot a couple showy Lichenomphalia and a shy pixie cup in the background. #fungi #mushtodon #yyj #victoriabc
