The History of Oak Bay Website
An Online Celebration of Oak Bay's Early Years
|
This website is now closed.* |
|
The creation and development of this site has been a labour of love — many thousands of hours over twenty years. It was possibly the best “local history” website in the world. |
|
The reason to close the site is my response to a decision made by the powers that be to upzone and redevelop the lot next to my family home for a three-story townhome complex with 14 windows looking down onto the yard of my family home. This has necessitated unexpected family relocation from our family home (four generations) in Oak Bay. Such callous obtrusion in an established single-family-home neighbourhood is not the Oak Bay this young branch of my family invested into. |
