2017 Truck Light Parade
I do not own the story below, I've quoted it it.
Quoted From the Victoria News:
19th Annual IEOA Truck Light Convoy and Food Drive, Parade.
Trucks covered in thousands of multi-coloured Christmas lights and decorations will dazzle residents young and old throughout Greater Victoria next month.
As part of the 19th annual Island Equipment Owners Association’s Truck Light Convoy, which kicks off on Saturday, Dec. 2., roughly 80 truck will begin at Ogden Point at 5:45 p.m. and, with the help of a police escort, wind through Victoria, Colwood and Langford, before ending at Western Speedway at around 8:30 p.m.
The trucks then park and the public is invited to enjoy a hot dog, hot chocolate and see the trucks up close. New this year, residents will be able to track the convoy’s progress online. The Q radio station will also be giving updates on how close the convoy is to your area.
“I just get tingles. It’s just such an amazing cause, it’s just such an amazing event,” association manager Wendy Watt said. “The hours that the truck drivers and all the equipment owners put in to do this is just amazing and it’s all just out of the generosity of their own heart … it takes hours and thousands of lights.”
In addition to the convoy, the event is a fundraiser for various food banks in the Capital Region. While residents cannot hand food to drivers during the event, there will be a number of drop off locations set up throughout the various municipalities.
A number of local groups, businesses and firefighters will be collecting donations the night of the event. Some include View Royal Fire Rescue collecting at Helmcken Road and Watkiss Way, Colwood Fire Rescue at Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre and Sands Funeral Home, Thrifty Foods in Colwood, Langford Fire Rescue at the corner of Verterans Memorial Parkway and Goldstream Avenue and Millstream Village.
More drop off locations will be released about two weeks before the event. Donations benefit a number of food banks including the Goldstream Food Bank, James Bay Community Kitchen, Mustard Seed, and Salvation Army. Over the years, the association has donated more than 154,000 pounds of food.
“We just want to create awareness in the community of how important it is [to donate] any time of the year, but Christmas and the winter time especially,” said Watt, noting many residents will set up their chairs along the 35-kilometre route around 3 p.m. the day of to ensure they get the best view possible. “I’m just really proud of the association and all that they’ve accomplished over the years in giving back to the community where we all do work and play.”
For more information, food drop off locations and to track the convoy’s progress on Dec. 2, visit ieoa.ca.

With nearly 2hrs of underwater footage compiled from 2 days of filming this is my most ambitious project to date. I hope you all find it entertaining and hopefully provoke a few thoughts about how you go about your barbel fishing as well.

Signal Crayfish (invasive Species to the UK) Filmed near Mill Lake
I came across this Crayfish. I now understand this to be the Signal Crayfish which is known as an invasive species to the UK. Much larger and a different color than the UK's native Crayfish. More in depth information can be found here (as well as other places) concerning the issues with the Signal Crayfish to our native Crayfish and enviroment:
I have been offline for a while and have not uploaded any videos for a while. Going through all the footage and then editing the videos is the less enjoyable part of it all to be honest. I have got some videos to make and edit, and will hopefully do them soon. Some I filmed over six months ago.
