At the Alfrescoes Christmas Party, we will be collecting $1.00 from all those who wish to help with the maintenance of the Alfrescoes website. The funds will go to the renewal of the domain name registration i.e. alfrescoes.com. Thanks for supporting the Alfs. (and a huge thanks to Ron Wilson for running the Alfs website!)
Road Closure: Please note that Interurban Road will be closed from the south so people will have to go up to West Saanich Rd and come down Interurban from there to Viaduct. They can go up Wilkinson to West Saanich or across from Royal Oak. Sorry for the traffic, it is a headache. They have to come down from the north rather than up from the south on Interurban.
