Women\u2019s Sexual Assault Centre moves<\/b><\/p>\n

The Victoria Women\u2019s Sexual Assault Centre recently purchased office space at #201\u01103060 Cedar Hill Road. They were able to get this new space to provide their counselling and prevention services thanks to donors. The new location also houses the Victoria Women\u2019s Transition House. As well, the Victoria Women\u2019s Sexual Assault Centre has announced they will be changing their name to the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre. The centre is currently located at 620 View Street and will be moving on August 28 and 29 (it will be closed on those days). See In Search of Lost Time<\/i> on page 10 for more information on the move and name change.<\/p>\n

Foundation suspended<\/b><\/p>\n

The Capital Regional District (CRD) recently issued several suspension notices to the Central Saanich-based Foundation Organics composting facility. According to a CRD press release, \u201cthis will result in a significant decrease in organic material being delivered to the Foundation Organics facility and is anticipated to have a positive impact on operational concerns with the facility.\u201d Continued non-compliance, the press release says, will end up with the business\u2019 operating licence being suspended.<\/p>\n
