Juan de Fuca Marine Trail Day 3: Chin Beach to Sombrio Beach
Part 3 on the Juan de Fuca trail.
Day 3 was our final day on the trail. We woke up at 7 am and got to see orcas pass by as we ate breakfast. I cannot express the extent of my excitement in words, it was a truly magical moment. The morning was bright and clear, unlike the previous morning which gave us a great view of the Juan de Fuca Strait. We packed up and were on the trail by about 9:30am.

British Columbia’s New Democrats posted victories in byelections on southern Vancouver Island and downtown Vancouver Saturday, keeping two seats held earlier this year by a former premier and a cabinet minister.

Juan de Fuca Marine Trail Day 2: Bear Beach to Chin Beach
Day 2 was a 12 km hike and definitely our most difficult day of the journey. We hiked from Bear Beach to Chin Beach and gained a total of 540 metres of elevation throughout the day. The bluffs in this section are steep, so be prepared for lots of hill-climbing and descents!

Former premier John Horgan has officially resigned his Victoria-area seat in the British Columbia legislature.

That included five years as premier, eight years as New Democratic Party leader, five terms as MLA and a dozen years as a political staff employee.
In his farewell speech, Horgan told members of the house he was healthy, and thanked all those who supported him during his bout with throat cancer. [...]
