Happy mid-week, Victoria!
FIFA fever is officially here as World Cup action kicks off this weekend, and excitement is building across the region. Today we covered everything from a Victoria resident winning $2 million on a scratch ticket to the end of an era for Rifflandia, plus HGTV's big plans for Port Alberni.
The forecast is also looking much brighter, with sunshine and warmer temperatures expected to arrive just in time for the weekend.

Bad news is good business. We never bought in.
Every morning, financial news follows the same script. Headlines panic, coverage catastrophises, and somewhere inside the noise is the story that actually matters — the one that tells you where the opportunity sits, not just where the fear is pointing.
Most sources have stopped looking. The alarm is easier to sell.
The Daily Upside was created by Wall Street insiders for readers who crave real insight over recycled anxiety. Five minutes of global business and finance, before the noise sets the agenda — just the facts, context, and analysis your decisions need.
Join 1M readers — including managing directors and principals at some of Wall Street’s largest institutions — who trust The Daily Upside to filter through the chaos.
The upsides are always there. We’ll find them before breakfast.
