Celebrating Construction

Anonymous

As we face the changing realities around us—where housing must be built, sustainability prioritized, and the slow, steady work of repair and reconstruction continues—there’s a small, joyful detail that never fails to make me smile.

No matter how many sidewalks are torn up or how many crosswalk detours I take to avoid a hole in the street, I still love the tiny, colourful flags that Victoria uses at construction sites.

Every time I see them, it feels less like a disruption and more like a spring fair or a birthday party. They remind me that the construction of a better city, in all its messiness, is still worth celebrating!
