Well, not much to report on from the Happinest front. I'll try to post some garden photos next post. My garden has very poor soil and is in shade about 95% of the day so it is not optimal growing conditions. In spite of that - and my lack of a green thumb - most of my plants are doing quite well - although they do not grow very quickly. The only one who is not happy is my heuchara - Mum is going to visit this weekend and give it a talking to :)
On the advocacy front, things continue to move slowly. However, we did have a meeting with MLA Selina Robinson (Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing) and MLA Adam Olsen and two experts on the provincial building code. I can't say it was overwhelmingly positive but it has at least begun an advocacy conversation at a provincial level.
And locally, we may be working with MLA Adam Olsen to start a small tiny house community on First Nations land. This would bypass all the municipal regulations and zoning changes that would be required. And we will be meeting with Victoria mayor Lisa Helps next month to talk about tiny homes as granny suites prior to a presentation to Victoria Council. And finally, we are in early stages of planning our second Tiny House Showcase, which will happen later this summer
