No more pencils, no more books Oak Bay primary teacher Linda Nonen will be remembered for her caring attitude Brittany Lee News staff
After 35 years as a primary school teacher, Linda Nonen is packing up her boxes for the last time and retiring from Willows Elementary School. Nonen, who taught at Monterey for 30 years before transferring to Willows in 2007, is throwing an informal gathering on Wednesday (June 20) to celebrate her long-time teaching career. All former and present students, parents, and colleagues are invited. “It’s been quite a journey, one that I would not trade for the world,” says Nonen, who formerly taught under the names of Walker and Stone. As a young girl, Nonen recalls lining up her dolls and teddy bears and playing teacher. “I knew from the time that I was a little girl that I wanted to be a teacher,” she says, adding that her mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother were all teachers. “Going to work’s always been a pleasure and I’ve just never really questioned that it’s what I wanted to do.” Nonen was first hired at Monterey, when it was an elementary school, as a Grade 1 teacher in 1977. She taught a variety of grades from Kindergarten to Grade 3, and even a Grade 6/7 science class. She also taught choir and coached the school’s swim club throughout her years at Monterey. “Monterey was just an amazing place to teach. … It was such a family, a lot of us stayed there for a very long time,” she says. “We had this amazing connection between everyone.” A crowning moment for Nonen was when she was presented with a “Miss Monterey” sash during her 30th year of teaching. When Nonen started at Monterey, she was replacing a teacher who had been there for 27 years, Nonen explains. “They kept telling me, ‘You have big shoes to fill and a hard act to follow,’” she says. “Little did I know I’d end up… (with the title of) Miss Monterey.” After Monterey was transformed into a middle school, Nonen left for Willows. “I was very nervous about going to (teach at) a new school because I’d been in that one place for all those years,” she says. But like the staff at Monterey, her colleagues, students and parents at Willows were quick to embrace her. “I just felt totally at home at Willows as well,” she says, adding that she has children

I know that there’s something else – I’m not quite sure what it looks like now, but I want to continue to work with children and help children.” Nonen’s retirement party will be held June 20, from 4 to 7 p.m., at the Sports View Lounge in the Oak Bay Recreation Centre on Bee Street.

Dozens of items have been returned to their owners after Oak Bay Police responded to a call from a homeowner of a man sleeping under his back deck in the 2100-block of Newton Street around 8 a.m. on June 12. When police arrived they found two men behind the home, waiting for the homeowner’s 40-year-old son to meet them. The two men and the son are well-known to police. Apparently unknown to the two men was the fact that the son was no longer living in his parents’ home. The area under the deck was packed full of items, said police. As they began to look around, they noticed that several of the objects matched the description of items reported stolen from unlocked vehicles the day before. Twenty-eight items were seized from under the deck. All are believed to have been stolen from vehicles in Oak Bay and along the Saanich/Victoria border. Discarded packaging and other signs led police to believe that many other stolen items have come and gone from the space. More than 100 gift cards, including
Oxfam cards worth $58 and iTunes cards worth $25, were found among the stolen items. Police were able to return keys, a briefcase and a brand new food processor to victims of theft the day before. A passport will be returned to its owner in Victoria, a phone was returned to an Oak Bay resident and a GPS unit was returned to its owner in Saanich. Oak Bay police still have items such as cameras, bags of clothing, first aid kits, tools and video game systems believed to be stolen but not yet reported. “We’ve had four complainants come in to get their stuff back and we have a few items left to give back. If we can get the information out people can (identify) their stuff and claim it as well,� said Deputy Chief Kent Thom. The importance of reporting any theft of property, no matter how seemingly insignificant, could help police in returning seized property and might even assist in helping police to solve other crimes, said Chief Const. Mark Fisher. The investigation into how prolific the three men have been in their apparent criminal activities is ongoing. editor@oakbaynews.com

Oak Bay cop first to score with new legislation Everything old is new again with legislation
in his first of a three-year secondment with IRSU. “Once they blew a fail on the (approved screening device) they were arrested for impaired driving,� he added. “In this case the person was arrested, read their full charter rights, taken back to my police car where I conducted a check.� With no prior drinking driving charges on the driver’s licence, Klein-Beekman opted to go the administrative route now available and offered the driver a second test – one of the changes to the legislation. “We always did,� KleinBeekman said. “Where things have changed was the second breath test results would prevail, now it doesn’t. It gives the benefit (of the doubt) to the person who’s driving.� There are five major changes, said Oak Bay Const. Eric Thompson, who was tasked with training the 27 officers at Oak Bay Police. Now officers are legislated to inform a driver of his right to a second test; the lowest test prevails; there’s a clear window of opportunity for a second test; the screening instrument calibration is well documented; and the report to the Office of the Superin-

An Oak Bay officer was the first to use reinstated impaired driving legislation to take a drunk driver off the road. Seven months after the B.C. Supreme Court ruled the laws unconstitutional, the repercussions for drinking and driving are back. In less than 20 minutes of taking effect at midnight June 15, the region found its first roadside fail using the reinstated rules. Officers with the region’s Integrated Road Safety Unit stopped drivers near the Johnson Street Bridge and Oak Bay Police Const. Mike Klein-Beekman found the first driver to blow a fail. “People drive impaired all times of the day. We’ve caught them in the morning, afternoon and night. In this case it was not something I expected that I would be the first person in the province to catch someone under the new immediate roadside prohibition,� said the Oak Bay officer

A narrative of signs, symptoms, times and process is outlined chronologically for the report that goes to the superintendent. “The last thing we want to see is them getting off on little technicalities,� Thompson

Causton on the green Former Oak Bay mayor Christopher Causton, centre, was honoured with a garden patch for his 24 years of service in the municipality, Saturday. Current Mayor Nils Jensen, right, Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong, former and present councillors, family and friends joined Causton for the unveiling of Causton’s Green. The green space, located in front of the Oak Bay library on Hampshire Road, was selected because of it’s symbolism as a ‘friendly oasis,’ Jensen said at the unveiling. It also represents community connections as it’s a place where people are brought together, he added. Causton was acknowledged for the wisdom, humour and patience he brought to council, including 15 years as mayor.

OUR VIEW
Extra-curricular ruling pointless Last week’s Labour Relations Board ruling that B.C. teachers’ withdrawal of voluntary extra-curricular services such as coaching, band concert and graduation ceremony organization, and field trips did not constitute unlawful strike activity was not surprising. For the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association to ask the LRB to rule otherwise was patently ridiculous and showed how far out of touch with reality the provincial body is. Such “volunteer” activities by teachers have never been considered mandatory. Yes, parents and administrators have come to expect them as a major part of the education and school experience for children. But the association was clearly out of line in targeting such action by the union. On the other hand, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s trumpeting of the decision – it also included an order to recommence parentteacher interviews and attend school-based team meetings, among other job-related duties – shows the union is scrambling to maintain any kind of bargaining power in this lopsided labour negotiation. With the ordeal dragging on through the entire school year, and expected to continue once the 2012-13 year starts in September, as the two sides get back to bargaining, it seems the patience of everyone involved has worn thin. Since teachers were ordered back to work after a short-lived strike, many educators – as fed up and frustrated as parents – have found creative, if not defiant ways to do their jobs, and participate in voluntary activities despite being encouraged not to do so by the union. No one has won in this whole affair, not the province, not the public and most of all, not students. The end result is that teachers still feel undervalued, the B.C. government knows it has an unhappy education workforce and many families are mad at both sides for using their children as pawns in what became a labour stalemate. We hope the summer holidays provide a time for both sides in this dispute to cool off and seriously try to rethink how to achieve labour peace in difficult economic times. No one wants to go through it all again this fall. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@oakbaynews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

a majority expects to be carried on the backs of the shrinking minority who do productive work? Old-timers might recall when Mike Harcourt’s NDP government took over from the allegedly miserly Social Credit regime and raised welfare rates. They compounded that mistake by relaxing eligibility rules and making it easier for employable people to stay on welfare. After a couple of years of this wealth redistribution, 10 per cent of the B.C. population was on welfare, with more piling on every day. Faced with the results of this staggering blunder, Harcourt lashed out at “cheats, deadbeats and varmints” scamming B.C. taxpayers and launched a crackdown on fraud. Later the NDP cut the basic rate for single employables to $500 a month. Today it stands at $610, and the NDP looks poised to repeat history. Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar did a month-long publicity stunt in January, living on welfare by wandering from shelter to food bank with TV cameras in tow. Brar would have been better off if welfare air had been available. Instead of learning to live off the burgeoning urban handout industry, he could have gone up to Dawson Creek or Fort St. John and worked as a labourer.

That’s the question Oak Bay Lodge neighbours Don Prevost, left, Charlie Frenette with dog Lizzie, Jane Van Sickle, Leona Frenette and Kathy Prevost try to raise awareness of the balloon test that marks the height of the proposed Oak Bay Lodge on Saturday before last night’s public meeting was held, after the News’ deadline. Look for updates on the Lodge debate online at oakbaynews.com. Sharon Tiffin/News staff
LETTERS
Lodge timely, necessary It really is a shame that a vocal group of naysayers in the neighbourhood of Oak Bay have selected themselves to be the pillars of righteousness and entitlement. First it singles out peaceful citizens of the area, picketing one of the nicest modern homes in the district. Then this group distorts and disseminates half-truths about other new homes being constructed, even though the homes have been built to Oak Bay’s strict height, size and lot coverage guidelines. Unfortunately, this generates publicity and press coverage for their skewed NIMBY strategies. After complaining about trees being removed for construction, they have the audacity to paper the neighbourhood with flyers on power poles and in my mailbox – no thanks, save those trees for your propoganda campaign. It now appears their next target is the proposed care facility (Oak Bay Lodge). I say this based upon the huge number of power poles plastered with paper announcing obvious objections, and half-truths about the lodge. Do these folks not understand that we have to plan for the future – that facilities like the lodge will be in high demand in a few short years? Perhaps even some of the NIMBY group would appreciate remaining in their own neighbourhood to receive care for themselves or their parents? Our aging population is a fact. Delaying or negating preparations for the onslaught of care that will be needed, in no uncertain terms, is a mistake. Please wake up people, and take a thoughtful and caring look at your deceptive approach and how you perceive Oak Bay and your neighbours. Let’s not give the rest of the world the impression there really are a bunch of bigots living behind the tweed curtain. I.M. Hamilton Oak Bay

Oak Bay lacks plan Lodge too large Living in an area where many homes are a century old, I am concerned – as are many of my neighbours – that we will soon see a wrecking ball and blasting mats on a neighbour’s lawn. The monster house fiasco now playing out in Oak Bay is the result of inadequate community planning and faulty zoning regulations. Added to the problem are real estate speculators, without community pride, who build to maximize profits, rather than enhance the neighbourhood. Oak Bay is the only CRD municipality that does not have planning as part of its budget. Most residents are unaware of the issues surrounding planning – or lack of planning – in Oak
Bay. The problems created with council’s planning by variance rather than hiring a planner are unfolding at a rapid rate. A monster hotel, monster houses and now a monster hospital are the result of inadequate, nonprofessional community planning. Trying to keep the tax rate down by understaffing is poor fiscal management. In Oak Bay, change seems to be on hold – waiting for the Official Community Plan, waiting for the CRD deer report, waiting for the new municipal website, waiting for a staff review – nothing gets done and the problems persist. Jean Sparks Oak Bay
Rowdy seniors rude to council I was at the June 11 council meeting at Oak Bay municipal hall and what I witnessed is difficult to describe. Basically, a self-appointed architectural watchdog group (without an architect among them) of approximately 30 angry seniors turned – what started out as a pretty reasonable presentation of a pretty reasonable cause – into an absolute sham. They demanded that at the drop of a hat, the rules and laws governing approximately 20,000 citizens, the same rules and laws of municipal legislative good governance that provide security and order
from coast to coast, should be overturned in front of our very eyes – that night – to fit their agenda. Their lack of respect for those in council chamber and their rowdy behavior was appalling – cringeinducing – like spoiled children screaming for ice cream. Kudos to the mayor and council for reminding this loud angry mob that our world is run by deliberation not desperation, and that if a bylaw needs changing it will be the result of a study of facts and not overblown fears of falling skies. Chris Foyd Oak Bay
All candidates for Oak Bay council in the recent election promised openness, transparency and public consultation. Despite these promises, the variance application by Baptist Housing Society to redevelop the Oak Bay Lodge site is the result of a design process that was not, and is not, open or transparent and for which there has been no meaningful public consultation. The proposed building would be almost twice the size of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. Significant height (six storeys versus the allowed three) and parking variances are requested. Baptist Housing has refused to provide other than very general information about either the use or staffing – both of which affect parking. The Oak Bay bylaws require 320 parking spaces or one per resident – 109 spaces are proposed. That is a variance (shortfall) of 211 spaces. More than 80 other burning questions were raised, but not fully answered at the recent public forums and open houses. Although the building is
being proposed as a seniors care facility, the application states that VIHA may, but is not obliged to, seek additional capacity at the facility at any point in the future and only needs the approval of the operator to do so. In other words, if the variances are approved by council, only VIHA and Baptist Housing will determine how the building is actually used, including the number of residents. I urge council to turn down the variance requests required for this revised proposal, which is essentially little-changed from the previous version, and ask VIHA to find another partner that will include meaningful public consultation in its design process. If council approves the requested variances, trust between council and its community will suffer, which would negatively impact many other important issues such as the upcoming Official Community Plan review and related issues including secondary suites and overbuilding. Michael Wilmut Oak Bay
Hotel has got that old feeling At least once a week I take the shoreline from Oak Bay to downtown so I can watch the striptease in slow motion. It all started months ago when they raised the skirts of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel to show the rockwork into the parkade level. Since then they have been tantalising us with another veil off her shoulder or another flutter of an eyelid over a balcony door. It has made me look
forward to “snuggling” once again because to me the lounge was never just a noun, it was a thing to do. Heritage should be about bringing back a feeling and not just an inanimate old piece of brick, and from what I have seen so far, it seems like the owners of the hotel, the Walker family, know how to do that.

Labour board defines teacher volunteer work No end in sight for strike action, contract dispute Natalie North News staff
Teachers can skip the grad ceremonies and sports practices through the end of the year, but their presence at parent-teacher interviews and kindergarten orientations is non-negotiable. Ritu Mahil, vice-chair of the British Columbia Labour Relations Board, backed the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation on Friday (June 15), when she ruled teachers were within their rights to withdraw from voluntary extracurricular activities such as coaching, supervising field trips or overseeing school clubs. Supporting part of the position of the Public School Employers’ Association’s that withdrawing from voluntary extracurricular activities as an unlawful strike, the ruling said teachers can't skip activities that are part of their regular

Eye care experts generally agree: watching television will not harm your eyes or vision if the TV room is lit properly and if you follow a few viewing tips. In fact, there is usually less strain involved in TV viewing than in doing close work such as sewing or reading. Watching TV for long stretches of time can leave your eyes fatigued and now that the monsoons have arrived, most of us are spending more time inside. Here are a few hints to help make TV viewing more comfortable.
TV viewing tips: - Make sure your television set is properly installed and the antenna properly adjusted. - Place the set to avoid glare reflections from lamps, windows and other bright sources. - Adjust brightness and contrast controls to individual and/or viewer’s taste and comfort. - Have the set at approximately eye level. Avoid having to look up or down at the picture. - Avoid staring at the screen for lengthy periods Briefly look away from the picture, around the room or out the window. - Wear lenses prescribed for vision correction, if advised to do so by your eye care practitioner. - View from a distance of at least five times the width of the television screen. Some viewers, especially those over 50 years old, may find relief with special glasses for television viewing. Consult with your Optometrist if you find general vision discomfort or eye strain while watching TV.

Even if an agreement to the contract negotiations for B.C.’s 41,000 teachers, which began in March 2011, is reached under Jago’s process this month, it will only remain in effect until June, 2013 and next round of bargaining will begin again this March. “There’s no end in sight,” Ehrcke noted. nnorth@saanichnews.com

What Hinkle enjoys most about sailing is spending time with family and friends, and just getting away for the weekend, he said, noting that depending on your destination, trip lengths can vary from 30 minutes to three hours. “There’s hundreds of little islands a stones throw from Victoria, and that’s an amazing, amazing thing,” he said. “We could leave (Victoria) after work and be on a remote island that doesn’t have any roads for the weekend, and that’s pretty special.” There’s a misconception about yacht clubs, Hinkle said, but the club is really just a friendly community where people hang out and meet other people. “There’s an openness there
… Everyone’s not a sailor but it doesn’t mean you can’t get out on the water,” he said. Longtime club member Ron Jewula adds that the club has a “fascinating collection” of people. “What I realized was the Royal Victoria Yacht Club was just a club of people that enjoyed messing about in boats … just a bunch of normal people,” he said. For Jewula, who also races competitively, sailing is about exploring the flat, smooth waters off Victoria and discovering the different harbours and beaches on the islands. “We’re actually very lucky,” he said. “We get to do all this neat playing (on the water).” The RVYC is also trying to attract more female members.

Greater Victoria’s population is getting older and there’s fewer kids, a trend that is reenforced by Statistics Canada census data. The number of people aged 65 and older has increased by nearly eight per cent in the past five years and is the fastest growing age cohort in the region. Nearly a quarter of all people in Greater Victoria are senior citizens. The number of youth dropped by nearly three per cent – kids 14 and younger make up 13 per cent of the city’s residents. The drop in youth is seen almost across the board – the number of kids in Saanich dropped by six per cent and the City of Victoria went down by five per cent. Langford, the only area of the city experiencing strong overall population growth, bucked the trend. The number of kids grew by an astonishing 21 per cent in five years. Silver Threads, a non-profit service provider for seniors in Victoria and Saanich, is seeing a trend toward seniors on the older end of the scale, said Susan Brice, director of the Victoria office. “The increase in the number of

communities. Taking to account an aging population while planning infrastructure and programs is now part of the standard procedure. In 2008, Saanich participated in a World Health Organization project to make urban areas more “age friendly,” in co-operation with the Centre on Aging. In areas with high populations of seniors, Brice said the engineering department installed countdown indicators at crosswalks and longer walk signals. Recreation centres needed to be mindful of how people with walkers, scooters and wheelchairs would access facilities. The police department is more aware of the kind of scams targeted at senior citizens, said Brice. Saanich and the School District 63 also joined forces to meld a seniors centre into an elementary school under threat of closing in Cordova Bay five years ago, a move seen as a success in the face of falling enrollment. Kids and seniors even share joint programs. “That kind of thinking is needed on how we will manage resources in with changing demographics,” Gallagher said. editor@saanichnews.com

Jazz fans will know the names Wayne Shorter, George Benson and Chris Botti – all headlining at the upcoming Jazzfest. But there’s plenty of other big talents coming to Victoria for the 10-day festival as well. “They may not have the recognition as the headliners but I feel these are just going to be fantastic shows and I hope Victoria doesn’t miss out on them just because they’re not household names,” said Darryl Mar, artistic director of the festival for the past 28 years. For instance, the Terell Stafford Quintet plays Alix Goolden Hall Thursday evening. Earlier that day, the trumpet player also leads a free workshop on constructing a solo, time and feel issues, and melodic development. Mar first heard Stafford about 10 years ago, and calls him an under-recognized artist. As a pure, mainstream jazz artist, he doesn’t have the commercial appeal of other jazz genres, said Mar. “He’s an amazing jazz trumpeter. I’ve been trying to get him (to come to the festival) for many years. This is his first year here as a leader of his band (but) he has been here before as a side man.”

Terell Stafford and his Quintet bring their post bop/modern jazz sound to the Alix Goolden Hall at 7:30 p.m. on June 28.

Monique Gray Smith, a local Aboriginal author, is celebrating the publication of her first book, Hope, Faith & Empathy. The novel is the story of Tilly, a young Indigenous woman growing up in Canada, and the people who help shape her life, survival and her irrepressible spirit.

Woven throughout the book are thought provoking teachings, humour and wisdom that reflect the strength and resiliency of the First Peoples of Canada.

On a quest to remember Merchant navy veteran seeking installation of Battle of Atlantic marker Erin McCracken News staff
At night, the lights on Bill Emberly’s merchant navy cargo ship were blacked out, to ward off attack from German u-boats skulking in the ocean. It took three harrowing weeks for convoys of ships to transport goods and personnel from Canada to Britain during the Second World War. The sun is now setting on the aging veterans of Canada’s merchant navy fleet, as well as those military personnel who played a vital role in the Battle of the Atlantic during the war. For that reason, Emberly, who joined the merchant navy as a teen, is on a quest to create a Battle of the Atlantic monument that would be unique to the Island. It would pay homage to Canada’s civilian merchant navy, the Royal Canadian Navy vessels that escorted the merchant ships and Royal Canadian Air Force bomber planes that patrolled the skies above. “It was a six-year campaign, night and day, chased by submarines and everything else,� Emberly recently told Esquimalt council, when he requested to place the monument in the township’s Memorial Park. “Britain was starving to death. The war could not have been won without that convoy fleet.� The black marble memorial, valued at $7,000, would not cost Esquimalt taxpayers anything, Emberly said. He said he has people lined up to pay for the cairn and the installation of the monument’s base. “It’s almost too late for even thinking about this,� said Emberly, 84. “The average age of the

Tim Morrison. Esquimalt municipal staff will bring back a report to council this fall, after seeking input from the township’s parks and recreation and heritage advisory committees. “I think it’s a worthy thing for us to consider, and we need to figure out how we might be able to do that,� Coun.

Father’s Day champ Adam O’Meara raises the ribbon while holding oneyear-old son Max at the finish line.
Sunday morning winds blew over tents set up at the event area of Elk Lake’s Hamsterly Beach but had little effect on the times of the top finishers of the Saunders Subaru Victoria Triathlon. The only thing that kept winner Adam O’Meara from breaking four hours in the Half Iron for the second year in a row was his decision to stop and pick up son Max 30 metres from the finish line. Instead he finished 14 seconds over, a worthy trade on Father’s Day. “Carrying Max over the finish line, I thought about it all race,” said O’Meara. “The water was a little choppier (for the swim) than usual but not enough to slow

Royal Colwood Golf Club member Kevin Carrigan and two more Victoria golfers took the top three spots at the 2012 B.C. Golf Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship. Carrigan led after the second round and kept it on the final day at Summerland Golf and Country Club (north of Penticton). A birdie on the final hole capped a one-under, par 71 final round, helping Carrigan to win by two strokes. It all came together for Carrigan with an eagle on the par 5, 478-yard 13th hole. “I had been giving shots back on the front that I really shouldn’t have and I didn’t really hit a great tee shot to be honest,” Carrigan said in a release. “I was lucky enough to find my ball in the middle of the fairway, hit a great shot in and sink the easy putt.” Carrigan parred the next four holes and birdied the 18th and final hole, par 5, 522 yards, for a threeday total of 212 (72-69-71). Meanwhile two-time Men’s mid-amateur winner Bryan Toth (2005 and 2008), also of Victoria, ended the tourney with an impressive 214 total (74-70-70) for second overall. Finishing third in the overall championship was Victoria’s Bryan Scott, a member of the 2011 Men’s Mid-Amateur Team B.C., who almost holed out his

The Victoria trio of Carrigan, Toth and Scott will represent B.C. at the Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship at Point Grey Golf and Country Club from Sept. 4 to 7. sports@vicnews.com

In 28 years the Legion Twilight Shuffle in Chemainus has seen a lot of national level runners, burn through the five kilometre course. This year was no different as Matt Sharpe, a triathlon prodigy of Victoria’s national training centre, bolted ahead of the field to win the race in 15 minutes and 40 seconds. “Sharpe came to the race on a mission, needing to hit the 15:40 standard for the 5km to qualify for future World Cup triathlon events, which he did with coaches and national triathlon teammates cheering him on,” said race organizer Phil Nicholls. Because the Twilight Shuffle has previously acted as the B.C. championship, the course is certified by Athletics Canada and records there are recognized nationally. Victoria’s Jonathan Gendron finished runner up with a time of 16:46 and Aaron Thomas, a triathlon teammate of Sharpe’s, came in third at 16:56. Claire Morgan (Victoria) won the women’s in 18:34, with Jessica Knowles 20:33 and Miranda Nyah 21:21 in second and third. Nicholls is currently plotting the second running of the McNeill Bay Half Marathon for Sept. 9. The 21km race through Oak Bay and Fairfield returned last year after a multi-year hiatus. This year’s McNeill Bay event is adding the Lightspeed 5km. Up for grabs are a Lightspeed M1 road bike and a Quintana Roo triathlon bike. To register for the McNeill half marathon visit www.eventsonline.ca, and for the Lightspeed 5km visit www.raceonline.ca. sports@vicnews.com
