[edit] Victoria, Greater Victoria, and the CRD
Why shouldn't this article be merged with Capital Regional District, British Columbia? Then a redirect could be used. Quite frankly, the conflations of these two pages and the Victoria, British Columbia page are a mess. Any objections if I go ahead and fix things? Fishhead64 07:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- No objections here to substantive relocation of information, but I wouldn't describe the CRD and Greater Victoria as being coterminal geographic spaces. The Gulf Islands and the westward extension of Hwy 14 towards and including Port Renfrew fall under the administrative auspices of the CRD, but are never described as part of Greater Victoria. And in some cases, an even more reductionist definition of Greater Victoria is used, which puts the northern and western limits at Elk Lake and Fort Victoria, respectively--IIRC, that's where these days there are highway signs with seagulls or somesuch on them saying "Welcome to Greater Victoria" The Tom 04:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well, things have since been kind of fixed. There's always room for improvement though. For instance, I put the non-City neighbourhoods and some attractions in Greater Victoria, British Columbia. But I'll continue to be vigilant. Fishhead64 04:41, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
