Up Close and Too Personal with Jessi Cruickshank

Did you watch Laguna Beach? The Hills? Then you for sure watched (and loved) Jessi Cruickshank on the After Show. 15 years later, she's bringing her Up Close and Too Personal comedy tour to Victoria, and I was so excited to catch up with her. 

Catching up with Classified

And now for something a little different! Classified is in concert tonight at the Mary Winspear Centre for his Retrospective Tour. It's going to be reflective, candid and for the first time ever, all acoustic. Can't wait! I caught up with Classified to chat about family, his next ten years and doin…

We've seen the price drops in Vancouver, but what about the island? Apparently it's coming... I got some intel from our pal Brendan Strain at CTV Vancouver Island, who's been following this story and has more info on when we'll (hopefully) see cheaper gas prices on the island.

The volunteer position you need to know about

I gotta share this awesome volunteer opportunity Vienna and I discovered back in February - dog-walkers for ElderDog Victoria. Have you heard of them? They’re a non-profit organization who support ageing people, ageing dogs and the important connection they share. Basically ensuring dogs get to sta…

Mo Money, Mo Problems?

Agree or disagree? Virgin Radio's $5K-A-Day is on with your chance at FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. I think EVERYONE can agree that would be sweet. But I'll always remember this conversation with my Nonna, who, unpopular opinion, said 'mo money, mo problems'. Ok, Puff Daddy. Love you, Nonna, but defini…

Not all heroes wear capes

...some wear gloves and carry a bucket, and pick up trash.  Meet David (@librarialstudy on Twitter). During the height of the pandemic, and working from home, David was feeling unhealthy, and disconnected. He decided to get out for daily walks. That’s when he noticed how much trash was in the neig…
