Update: Shelbourne Community Kitchen
The CCA recently received an update from the Shelbourne Community Kitchen Society (SCK) directors on what’s been keeping them busy during this pandemic.
Since March this year
- By adapting quickly to COVID-19 protocols, the SCK team has not missed a day of service.
- The SCK registered an additional 170 participants since March, bringing the total number to 700.
- The SCK Pantry program established a home delivery service, increasing grocery access from once to twice a month, and increasing the amount of healthy food available to support their participants who are staying home and staying safe.
- In-person cooking programs were replaced in July with weekly virtual classes, allowing SCK participants to get cooking together again.
- In partnership with the City of Victoria’s Get Growing project, SCK volunteers started 50 new gardens at participants’ homes and distributed over 1,300 seedlings.
For more information, to participate, volunteer or donate, please phone (250) 590-0980 or email here.
Three Shelbourne Valley churches—St. Luke’s Anglican, St. Aidan’s United, and Lutheran Church of the Cross—and two Community Associations, Mount Tolmie Community Association and Camosun Community Association collaborated to found the SCK.
The SCK will be moving into their new location by March 2021, ground floor of Lutheran Church of the Cross, located at 3787 Cedar Hill Rd.

1899 TOWNLEY STREET
The rezoning, development variance permit and subdivision application for the property 1899 Townley Street will be addressed by Council on Monday, Sept. 28.
Please see the meeting agenda here.
Please review the report by the Planning Department here. The report provides site maps and renderings of the proposed structures to help you visualize this planned development.
The CCA submission to Planning back in April noted
The response was positive to the architecture, small lots and houses. The neighbourhood does not support a duplex as an alternative. They do not support secondary suites due to the size of the houses and the property.
Discussion mainly focused on the landscape plan, sidewalk and boulevard parking and storm water management.
and then concluded
The community issues are the landscape plan, parking on the boulevard and storm water management.
Should the subdivision proceed the CCA requests that the applicant:
• Covenants that the houses do not have secondary suites.
• Deconstruction of the existing house and garage
The Planning Department recommends approval of the rezoning, variance permit and subdivision application, pending a covenant to
- build to BUILT GREEN Gold energy efficiency level, with conduits to be solar ready
- construct substantially in compliance with the Aug. 24, 2020 dated plans prepared by RHD Designs
- do not include secondary suites in the new dwellings
