One West Shore resident is starting the Thanksgiving long weekend in an unusual way.

Local business woman Micky Fleming was hosted above Jacklin Road at the Sooke School District’s office in Langford early Friday morning and she’s not coming down until one ton of food is collected for the Goldstream Food Bank to help West Shore residents in need.
