Bob Price and what matters on the Orca Business Beat to start the day on April 24, 2019.

Bob Price and the Orca Business Beat for April 23, 2019.

There are 13 municipal governments within the Capital Regional District, in and around Victoria. Some are tiny – Highlands, for example, is home to 2,225 people.

The largest municipality is Saanich, with 114,148 people – and a city hall that has an address marked “Victoria.”

For years, there has been talk about amalgamating several of these districts. Local politicians have generally opposed the idea, while the public has been more receptive, at least to the idea of studying amalgamation.

Restaurant owner and former Victoria city councillor Shellie Gudgeon has her own views on all this. She joined Rick Cluff via Skype.
