Residents of an upscale Victoria neighbourhood are bracing for the arrival of approximately 100 chickens on Saturday. "About one quarter are on social assistance, and living cheque by cheque is a way of living," Tu said. Tu admits it's a lot of chickens, but says that 100 birds is not an inappropriate number for the 2.2 acres of land. Our concern is 100 chickens in the middle of a very, very densely populated area." In response to a query from CBC, the engagement advisor for the City of Victoria, Rebecca Penz, sent an email confirming there is no current bylaw limiting the number of chickens.
