An unofficial mayoral caucus in Sooke tackled some tough talk Friday (March 7) with a special guest at the table, invited by Victoria Mayor Marianne Alto.
The south Island mayors meet every two months – hosted by Sooke this time – to talk regional issues.
“My first feeling was I got little choked up. I’m really grateful we’re still invited frankly,” Kate Baxter, mayor of Port Angeles, Wash. said outside Victoria city hall, ahead of the drive west.
U.S. tariffs imposed on Canada just days earlier are a concerning topic on both sides of the border, the mayors agreed.
