Brentwood Bay – Come for a Visit!

T

ucked along the Saanich Inlet, north of Victoria on the Saanich Peninsula, Brentwood Bay is home to a variety of residential neighbourhoods surrounding the town centre, in addition to attractions such as the world-famous Butchart Gardens and Victoria Butterfly Gardens.

At the village, residents and guests alike will find accommodation, dining choices ranging from fine dining to quirky waterfront cafés, and all necessities.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the kayaking, biking, hiking and walking opportunities are many in the Brentwood Bay region, and an artificial reef is taking shape offshore, attracting divers who appreciate our clear waters and abundant sea life.

Visit Coles Bay Regional Park, a quiet refuge on Coles Bay in the Saanich Inlet, Gowlland Tod Provincial Park where south of Brentwood Bay by Tod Inlet, old mining and logging roads now provide more than 40 kilometres of hiking trails.

Nearby, John Dean Provincial Park on Mount Newton borders both North Saanich and Central Saanich, just a few miles north of Brentwood Bay, while Butterfield Park on Mount Newton Cross Road at Thomson Place offers pleasant strolls through 5.3 hectares of what was once the South Hill poultry farm.

Also located here is the Brentwood Bay-Mill Bay ferry, a scenic – and convenient – 25-minute route across the Saanich Inlet for those travelling to or from the Swartz Bay terminal and destinations north of Victoria. The ferry is an ideal option for those who prefer to bypass the drive through Victoria and the Westshore and over the Malahat.

Event highlights in the neighbourhood include Central Saanich Days, held at Centennial Park on August’s BC Day weekend and the Saanich Fall Fair each Labour Day weekend at the Saanich Fairgrounds.

raise $3,000 and we’ll be ecstatic if we raise more,” he says.

“We encourage the community to come support us as we support them. It’s an interesting event and it’s easy – I’ll be bringing my antiques!”

For the past 30 years, the registered not-for-profit Central Saanich Senior Citizens’ Association has run the local Seniors’ Centre, next to the library in Brentwood Bay. With a mandate to provide a wide range of innovative, enjoyable and cost-effective programs and services to the 50-plus population of the Saanich Peninsula, the centre strives to promote active living, healthy aging, life-long learning and community involvement.

With refurbishment of the centre needed, the local Rotarians stepped in to help. Antiques Re-Visited ticket-holders can bring up to three items, including vintage jewellery, silver, toys, dolls and samplers, native arts and crafts, porcelain, pottery and china, clocks and watches, stamps and coins,

militaria, paintings, prints and books.

To avoid line-ups, the event will be loosely divided into morning and afternoon sessions, Anderson says, noting that Seniors’ Centre volunteers will be on hand helping with the event and providing light refreshments.

The local project follows Rotary International’s philosophy of service both in the local community and internationally.

Tickets – $25 for up to three items – are available from the Central Saanich Seniors’ Centre, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday to Friday, from the Brentwood Bay Rotarians, Discount Printing, 105-2423 Beacon Ave., or at the door. Ample parking will be available at the site, with overflow parking available at Brentwood Elementary School. Please note that buying or selling of appraised items at the event is not permitted.

The Brentwood Bay Rotary Club

Rotary International: Service Above Self

o you have a few family heirlooms collecting dust in a corner? Perhaps you’ve always wondered about the possible history and value of a favourite necklace?

The Brentwood Bay Rotary Club has the perfect solution.

The Peninsula’s answer to the popular “Antiques Roadshow” is coming to the Central Saanich Seniors’ Centre on Sunday, April 22 when the centre hosts the club’s Antiques Re-Visited.

Victoria’s antique experts will be on hand, donating their time for the fundraiser, says Andy Anderson, Brentwood Bay Rotary past-president and one of the event organizers.

The club had been looking for a spring fundraiser for members and upon hearing the local seniors’ centre needed help with its refurbishment plans, Antiques Re-Visited was born, thanks to help from former appraiser – and a former Rotarian – Mike Wagnell, Anderson notes. “We hope to

rentwood Bay Rotary Club’s members are among Rotary International’s 1.2 million members in more than 200 countries committed to the philosophy of Service Above Self.

“In more than 34,000 clubs worldwide, you’ll find members volunteering in communities at home and abroad to support education and job training, provide clean water, combat hunger, improve health and sanitation and eradicate polio,” explains the organization’s website, www.rotary.org

Rotary Club of Brentwood Bay Turning 31 and going strong, the Brentwood Bay Rotary Club strives every day to help communities both at home and abroad.

O

riginally meeting at the old Brentwood Bay Inn – hence the name – today the Brentwood Bay Rotary Club moved meets at the Waddling Dog Hotel, Tuesdays at noon.

As a small club with just 21 members, the meetings are relaxed and fun, with a variety of speakers and presentations providing both education and information.

The group’s major fundraising event is the annual Saanich Fall Fair, where members, spouses, family and friends all pitch in to run a concession affectionately called “The Sugar Shack,” selling candy floss, snow cones, hot dogs and soft ice cream. November and December also bring poinsettia sales, but the group was looking for a spring fundraiser and Antiques Re-Visited was the perfect event.

The fundraisers allow the Brentwood Bay Rotary to fulfill Rotary’s “Service Above Self ” motto, providing funds to support the group’s local and international projects.

Current initiatives include the African Community Project to assist in the economic and social development of the people in a small community just outside the city of Lusaka in Zambia. Last year, the Brentwood Bay Rotarians completed a clean water and educational project in Honduras, and a book drive produced 1,500 new and gently used books for countries in need to start libraries for children. The local group has supported Rotary International’s Immunization Days world-wide to eradicate polio and Project Unity, a coalition of Greater Victoria Rotary Clubs providing micro loans and Kids Kits for AIDS orphans.

Locally, the group awards the annual Darcy Lazarz Scholarship at Stelly’s Secondary School and has supported Saanich Peninsula Hospital, the Terry Fox Run, Brentwood Bay Days, and the SenseABILITY Project, which provides a kit for parents of sight-impaired children that allows them to start teaching literacy skills to the children before they start school.

In the Know: • The 30-year-old Brentwood Bay Rotary Club meets Tuesdays at 12 p.m. in the Waddling Dog at the Quality Inn at Mount Newton Cross Road and Pat Bay Highway.

• Programs include guest speakers on a variety of community topics. For more information, call club president Jock Halliday at 250-544-1120 or email jockhalliday@shaw.ca

In 1932, Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor created The Four-Way Test, a code of ethics adopted

As an idea, Rotary began more than 100 years ago with the Rotary Club of Chicago, formed on Feb. 23, 1905 by attorney Paul P. Harris. The name stems from the early practice of rotating meetings among members’ offices.

“As Rotary grew, its mission expanded beyond serving club members’ professional and social interests. Rotarians began pooling their resources and contributing their talents to help serve communities in need...By July 1925, Rotary had grown to more than 2,000 clubs and an estimated 108,000 members. The organization’s distinguished reputation attracted presidents, prime ministers and a host of other luminaries to its ranks – among them author Thomas Mann, diplomat Carlos P. Romulo, humanitarian Albert Schweitzer and composer Jean Sibelius.”

Today, in addition to the Brentwood Bay Rotary, the Capital Region is home to 11 clubs in the Capital Region, including three on the Saanich Peninsula, notes Brentwood Bay Rotary’s International Chair Darrell Jolly.

At the village, residents and guests alike will find accommodation, dining choices ranging from fine dining to quirky waterfront cafés, and all necessities.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the kayaking, biking, hiking and walking opportunities are many in the Brentwood Bay region, and an artificial reef is taking shape offshore, attracting divers who appreciate our clear waters and abundant sea life.

Visit Coles Bay Regional Park, a quiet refuge on Coles Bay in the Saanich Inlet, Gowlland Tod Provincial Park where south of Brentwood Bay by Tod Inlet, old mining and logging roads now provide more than 40 kilometres of hiking trails.

Nearby, John Dean Provincial Park on Mount Newton borders both North Saanich and Central Saanich, just a few miles north of Brentwood Bay, while Butterfield Park on Mount Newton Cross Road at Thomson Place offers pleasant strolls through 5.3 hectares of what was once the South Hill poultry farm.

Also located here is the Brentwood Bay-Mill Bay ferry, a scenic – and convenient – 25-minute route across the Saanich Inlet for those travelling to or from the Swartz Bay terminal and destinations north of Victoria. The ferry is an ideal option for those who prefer to bypass the drive through Victoria and the Westshore and over the Malahat.

Event highlights in the neighbourhood include Central Saanich Days, held at Centennial Park on August’s BC Day weekend and the Saanich Fall Fair each Labour Day weekend at the Saanich Fairgrounds.
