Happy Thanksgiving week, Greater Victoria!

We've curated 25 local experiences for your long weekend and beyond, including the Thrifty Foods Kids Run, spooky mini golf, and a nature walk from a bear's perspective.

This week's News Bites bring some entertaining stories: a butter bandit struck Langford (yes, butter theft is apparently a thing now - Ontario had similar heists earlier this year), a remarkable Inner Harbour birth from this summer, and the Blue Jays could clinch their series tonight in New York.

Ready to explore? Here’s your week.
