Call it a mission of mercy to save some sitting ducks. The Capital Regional District has built a duck ramp at an unused reservoir after nearby residents alerted them of about 25 ducklings trapped in the body of water. Every year, ducklings hatched in the surrounding neighbourhood find their way to the Smith Hill Reservoir, the largest body of water in the area. The reservoir, which sits on top of a hill just south of Finlayson Street between Cook and Quadra, was built in the early part of the 20th century, but by the late 1940s, it was disconnected from the city water system and used as a backup for firefighting. It has sat unused since then.
