Police probe possible assault in Fairfield

Victoria police say they are investigating a serious assault that might have occurred in a quiet Fairfield neighbourhood around 9 p.m. Sunday night.

More than 5,500 wild animals killed by drivers on B.C. highways last year

Motorists killed more than 5,500 wild animals on provincial highways last year, the B.C. transportation ministry reports. Highways maintenance contractors across the province had the thankless job of removing 5,663 carcasses, including 4,454 deer — almost 80 per cent of the total — 350 moose, 223 elk, 157 bears, 126 coyotes, and a variety of smaller animals.

One of Uptown's anchor buildings rises like a geometric sculpture on the former site of Town and Country Shopping Centre in Saanich. The $300-million Uptown project, with retail stores and offices, is being promoted as Saanich's new downtown. This building is slated for office and retail uses -- the tenant list includes B.C. Assessment and Future Shop. Some businesses will move into Uptown in February. The project's largest tenant, a Wal-Mart superstore, is scheduled to open in July.
