Good morning, Oak Bay. One last August weekend. The Victoria Summer Open wraps up at Oak Bay Rec this weekend, with matches listed as late as midnight. Monterey is closed Sunday for a planned power outage, and the monthly Open Mic has moved to Sept. 6. Four new notices are pinned up from neighbours. We also have the story of Matthew Jackson, who grew up in Oak Bay and had a habit of disappearing uphill on family walks. A new UBC scholarship now honours him.

Just throwing this out there… We’re pretty much booked up for house sitting from September 2 until we head to Dryden on December 12 (which is kind of crazy to think about 😅), but we ended up with one little gap in our schedule. If anyone is looking for a live-in pet and house sitter October 26 – November 1, or knows someone who is, let me know. I figured it’s worth mentioning before those dates disappear too.
