Students, teachers and staff at Spencer Middle school in the Sooke school district will benefit from $300,000 in provincial School Enhancement Program funding.

Work has begun on $9.1 million worth of highway improvements that will benefit drivers, cyclists and pedestrians along Highway 14 in and around Sooke as part of a partnership between the Province and the District of Sooke.

This is sweet news. Tourists and residents in Sooke will have an opportunity for an interactive artisanal experience when they visit Tugwell Creek Honey Farm and Meadery.

The volunteers are busy making the final preparations as the Sooke Fall Fair is getting ready to celebrate its 100th anniversary this weekend.

The District of Sooke has taken concrete steps to protect the Sooke Harbour and Sooke Basin from the environmental pressures of urban development with an innovative Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP) approved by the Ministry of Environment.
