When is a rezoning required? When a proposal for a development does not meet the use and density requirements as specified in the Zoning Regulation Bylaw, a Rezoning Application is required. ~City of Victoria.

Yesterday a few of us spent time at the City Hall.

It was around noon when our turn was up.  The Mayor Lisa Helps and Councillor Charlayne Thornton-Joe and a couple of other councillors worked hard to see the case go to public hearing.  The first rezoning application we listened to was denied in minutes.  That was a scary moment Creator.

Moving forward.

The neatest thing happened.  We had been in City Hall from 9:00 AM.  Our case was next at 11:00 AM and then, there was sort of an intermission when some very amazing South Korean (to be clear) children performed for us about six songs.  It is not always that this happens at City Hall.  

I always tear up during children performances and I cried my heart out.  When they had bowed and left, it was finally our turn.  Everybody was refreshed and yes, there is a Creator.

The children were adorable.  Here is part of the performance.

"Love that the Korean Kids Choir dropped by City Hall!!"
 ~Charlayne Thornton-Joe was live.

Now to prepare for the public hearing. God help us.

Tears at birth, at death. Born. With a beautiful flower. A flower to be respected, loved and cared for. Not to be damaged. A flower to be let to unfold in its own good time. A flower to be kissed by the right person, at the right time. Not to be mangled. Not to be dismantled at a young age. A flower to be preserved until the time is right. A flower to be benefited from with permission and gentleness. Let us begin a new age where men and women pay attention to the fact that between the groin are valuables we carry with us. They are, foreskin, penis, testicles, vulva, hymen, vagina. These valuables are for pleasure, procreation, peeing, periods - and I forgot the anus which has many functions, including keeping us flushed out and healthy. As we teach head, shoulder, knees and toes, a brilliant idea would be to teach about flowers and butterflies while we are at it. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;" "We all dream dreams of unity, of purity; we all dream that there's an authoritative voice out there that will explain things, including ourselves."
