| | | Posted by Shazam ah well, guess the whole system will all be back filled soon enough. would be great if someone worked for the city and posted shots as they did.
| All part of the ongoing forgetting. In the spirit of 'reconciliation,' we might pause to consider and reflect upon the many, many, many instances in this city's history where 'others' were indiscriminately disadvantaged based on race. These tunnels are part of that history, and deserve to be acknowledged. Backfilling them erases that history.

| Well said Kubla I agree 100%. Same thing with the statue of Sir John, the statue should have been left and the plaque changed, recognizing and honouring that he was our first Prime Minister, but also pointing out sadly that he was a racist and celebrating how far we've come since then. But no we can't offend anyone, we must all be sheltered and safe! Cheers, CMF

| | | Posted by meggaman Noticed a large pipe or some kind of tunnel being exposed at the Mackenzie Interchange project , Could this tunnel be slowing down construction ? Does anyone have picks of the inside of this tunnel yet ?
| You mean the small pipe at the south end of the hole? No person could fit in that pipe! Haha You can see more of the pipe going out of town towards Langford, probably an old storm drain pipe, but not a tunnel. Cheers, CMF

| | | I haven't done much recently, although I have a few places I plan on exploring very soon. Anyway two little tidbits... This was a fun little explore just outside of Victoria about 2 months ago. I was only "allowed" to take 2 pictures though. 1. 2. I had no idea this tunnel was here, it just popped out at me last weekend while on a walk with my parents. First time out here, my parents had walked by before and had no idea it was there. I apologize for the quality. I wasn't dressed to go exploring, but I'll be back to take more pictures! 1. Until next time, CMF
