First a correction to last week’s letter- thanks to Ian Cameron:
My letter said the Saanich fair has been held in the same location since 1868. Ian gently corrects: “Nope. It moved to the current location in 1993, and I can date that because (a) I was on Central Saanich council at the time and there was a lot of time spent on the re-zoning of the current grounds and on the old grounds (and I still think the developers took everyone concerned for a ride); and (b) I lived across from the new location, on Tomlinson Road, and spent quite a bit of time putting on roofs with the volunteer crews. I wouldn’t bother with that bit of trivia, but I know what a stickler you are for accuracy.” Me too.
