Before you think that this is an article about the Cute Beavers and Majestic Elk, that these lakes are names after, we have to disappoint you, sorry.It is article however about this beautiful set of lakes that many of us locals drive by on a daily base without giving its duly deserving respect and gratitude......Not only are these lakes just amazing with all their natural beauty, and all the joy and benefits they provide so many of our Greater Victoria Residents......Elk Lake is also home (at least part time) to our Victoria City Rowing Club, The University of Victoria Rowing team, the Greater Victoria Youth Society and our National Canadian Rowing Teams and some of the Worlds  celebrated Rowing Elite can b...

  Driving south on road 17A (West Saanich Road) from Brentwood Bay, you will come to Prospect Lake & some fantastic homes right on the water. From Victoria it's only 25 minutes or so by car. In the current listings of 16 single family homes ranging from $649,900 CN to a whopping $3,600,000 CN, I thought it would be fun to take a peek at the highest priced listing that's marked on the aerial map...not on the water but up high with incredible views:   Prospect Lake Golf Course is nearby - for those lovers of both water and golf.     Vancouver Island: a paradise with so many lifestyles (and homes) to choose from...

Saanich East BC Real Estate Market Update The Saanich Peninsula is surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and connects Vancouver Island to mainland British Columbia. As you leave Victoria and venture northward toward Saanich, the views begin to change. While there are still beautiful views of the ocean, the landscape becomes more rural. Saanich farms and dairy herds are a vital industry and Saanich is also renowned for its cultivation of fruit and flowers. Though over time Saanich has become a major residential area with 108,000 residents, it still maintains an important agricultural base. Today, the area is also identified as Saanich West and Saanich East - a distinction that uses Highway 17 as the dividing line. Saanich East BC Real Estate Market Update This month there were 2...

But, in these financially unstable days I think it's very easy to get caught up and confused about the current financial crisis. I am therefore going to resolve to pay more attention and not assume that "all is fine with my financial status". The main thing, in my opinion, is to be fully aware of where the money is invested and how it's working for me. I also feel that more attention needs to be paid to the everyday bills such as mobile phones, insurance, credit cards, and whether I am paying too much for the privilege of using those necessessities.   So, IF I HAVE to make any New Year's Resolution it is to become more organized with regard to the financial aspects of my life ...
