Bomb scare
closes down streets |
|
CBC
has
a short story; presumably a threat bomb in/ at DFO offices I
had to go up to 4th avenue to get on other side – As
evening progressed the ‘perimeter’ shrank until 3rd avenue open
and ony 1 block area around Federal building closed off |
|
|
Perimeter
shrank with time |
|
Here
Third Avenue is opened again While
bomb threats are not common – there were some bugs in operation – people working
in offices across street were not evacuated – and when phoned RCMP they were
told could not comment (whether person should ’evacuate’ or not) |

City crews
work constructing ‘lawns’ while infrastructure decays |
|
I
am told a bench with umbrella will go on the son to be concrete platform – located
in middle photo left |

What
happened to City’s roadway? |
|
A
person familiar with area says the fish plant was ‘given’ 10 feet of city
property to use – as too narrow for a roadway once the new lane put in |
|
|
Passing of
what should have been a tourism attraction |
|
The
next day after this photo was taken the city cut the tree down Presumably
fearing it might fall in some future strong winds It
was an amazing tree – the roots appeared to grow out of pure rock and it was
difficult to see how it survived (food and water etc) For
me it was a symbol of survival in ‘rain forest’ Thereare
several others around – slightly younger – but just as amazing |
