Selkirk Trestle

As well as providing nice views up and down the Gorge, the Selkirk Trestle is an interesting structure in itself. It was originally part of the Canadian National Railway system and is now a part of the Galloping Goose Regional Trail.

Looking South

We had some nice bright days early this week and though the weatherman suggested that snow was a possibility it didn't come to pass. Above is a view of the city taken from the Selkirk Trestle, an old railway trestle that crosses the Gorge and is now a part of the Galloping Goose regional trail for pedestrians and cyclists. The Galloping Goose is much used by cycle commuters who get to enjoy this view every day. Here we are looking south towards the Bay Street Bridge (Point Ellice Bridge) with the city beyond. That green treed area on the left is where Point Ellice House is located and the outlook/viewpoint on the opposite side of the Gorge is at the bottom of the Railyards condominium development.

21

Yes, 21 - that's how many shopping days remain until Christmas. I suspect your local retailers are keeping you well informed of this. Here's a photo of one of our local malls, the Bay Centre, all dolled up for the season.

Fry's Bread

This fantastic bakery opened in our little neighbourhood of Vic West about a year ago and has been a welcome addition. An especial favorite is pizza on Sundays with thin crusted, oven roasted creations topped with all kinds of fresh, local ingredients. Divine! - Fern Long

Chinatown At Night

Not just for Christmas, but all year, our little Chinatown is lit up quite nicely. - Fern
