Get your share in Sidney BIA to launch a new marketing brand this month Steven Heywood News staff

New marketing plans for Sidney will encourage visitors to “come get your share” of all that the community has to offer.

Sidney’s Business Improvement Area (BIA) gave town councillors a brief overview of their branding and marketing plans this week, which carry the tagline of “Distinctly Sidney” and the catchphrase, “Come Get Your Share” which they say can be paired with some of the community’s selling points, such as relaxation, shopping, memories and culture. Angus Matthews, the BIA’s marketing committee chair, says the organization put in hundreds of hours in developing the brand they plan to market mostly outside of Sidney.

“We looked at other options like Sidney-By-The Sea, but we went back to the people, setting and offerings outAngus line to come up with this base conMatthews cept,” he explained.

This brand, he continued, will be used in advertising in magazines, Google ads and tourism publications targeted to potential visitors in Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle.

VIHa lab hours cut back

Low patient volume on the Saanich Peninsula in afternoons a factor Devon MacKenzie News staff

Two Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) medical laboratories on the Saanich Peninsula will close earlier in the day starting next month.

Two labs in Central Saanich, one on Keating X Road and the lab in Brentwood Bay will close to patients at noon on weekday afternoons, rather than 4:30 p.m., beginning Aug. 8.

The Keating X Road lab will also no longer offer weekend service.

VIHA media spokesperson Suzanne Germaine said the usage of the medical testing labs during afternoon hours was low at the two labs and that the usage didn’t warrant keeping them open during the afternoon hours.

“Patient volume is about five people during the afternoons at these labs because many of the patients are going in for fasting-based tests which

are usually done in the mornings,” said Germaine.

“It was really about looking at the situation and figuring out how we can use our resources the best way,” she said of the early closures, adding that Saanich Peninsula residents have other options for lab testing including Life Labs and the VIHA lab at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital.

Neighbours helping to clean up watershed Habitat Acquisition Trust working with Saanich Peninsula residents this summer Devon MacKenzie

Do you have what it takes to become a HAT Good Neighbour?

News staff

This summer, Todd Carnahan of Habitat Acquisition Trust (HAT) will be busy meeting with residents around the Hagan and Tod watersheds to encourage them to become stewards of the land.

HAT is a regional land trust that was established in 1996 by the Victoria Natural History Society.

The not-for-profit group has been working in the Capital Regional District and the southern Gulf Islands to preserve and improve natural areas with the help of volunteers and other groups like the Peninsula Streams Society.

“We have over 500 families who have become habitat stewards from Sooke to Galiano,” said Carnahan, adding he hopes to add more this summer from the Saanich Peninsula.

“Our aim is to give people the information they need to make educated decisions on how they care for their properties. It’s about getting people to think about being part of a solution instead of feeling like there’s nothing they can do.”

Carnahan and HAT have worked with one Brentwood Bay resident, Michael Simmons, for about eight years.

Simmons, who is also a member of other organizations like Peninsula Streams and the Saanich Inlet Protection Society, has used information from HAT to educate himself on invasive species removal, naturescaping and how to keep his waterfront property from eroding.

“We built a proper seawall to prevent erosion of our property and other properties around us. We planted natural gardens including an expanded wildflower garden, we removed invasive species from our property and replaced things like bamboo with plants native to the area,” said Simmons, a retired environmental consultant, who added his enthusiasm for land stewardship comes from living on the Saanich Peninsula.

The HAT Good Neighbours Land Care Agreement is a signed agreement between HAT and a landowner (not legally binding and called a ‘handshake agreement’ by HAT) asks that families apply as many of these care practices to their land as they choose: • install efficient irrigation and naturescaping • avoid pesticides and synthetic fertilizers • remove invasive weeds like broom and daphne • spread the word about protecting species at risk • keep oil and other toxics out of rain drains • maintain and protect soil with leaf mulch • plant and protect stream buffers for fish and clams

A heron in Brentwood Bay watches the camera closely. Herons are only one of the many species of flora and fauna that call the Saanich Inlet home, the reason why HAT is working with homeowners in the area to ensure optimal health for the watershed.

“When you live somewhere like this, you can’t help but be aware and appreciative of your surroundings and willing to help preserve it,” he said.

Carnahan hopes to get other waterfront property owners as well as property owners from Tod Flats to Mount Newton involved in improving sur-

rounding areas of Hagan Creek, which is one of the area’s only trout-bearing streams.

“The creek has a lot of natural value for that alone,” said Carnahan, “What we hope to do is increase the creek’s health and the quality of the water in it. One thing about creeks like Hagan, which drain into a contained body of water like the Saanich Inlet, is that the water has to be clean.”

By increasing the health of the creek, Carnahan said HAT also hopes to bring back the health of the clam beds where the stream empties at KENNES Bight.

“Healthy trout streams and clam beds form a vision for the future in rural Central Saanich,” said Carnahan.

Home lab service will be done by private company Continued from page 1

As well as the cutbacks in afternoon and weekend service, VIHA will no longer pick up samples from home-bound patients, but the service will be continued by private lab service provider Life Labs.

The drop in weekday afternoon and weekend service at the two Saanich Peninsula labs is problematic in more ways than one says Mike Old, the communications director for the Hospital Employees’ Union.

“The afternoon and weekend closures raise the issue of accessibility for patients,” said Old, adding that the next closest lab option, the Saanich Peninsula Hospital, will require patients to pay for parking.

“The closure of the labs also means VIHA is limiting the amount of revenue being brought to frontline medical services. The clear benefit for community members to use a public lab is that the money in reinvested. It seems shortsighted for the Health Authority to shut down an

important revenue stream.”

Old also said the Union wasn’t told of VIHA’s plans to outsource the home visits to Life Labs, only that VIHA would no longer be responsible for them.

“That’s an interesting revelation and not one that they’ve told us about,” he said.

Germaine said VIHA doesn’t expect the closures to result in job loss for the lab workers and expects that employees affected will be able to find work in other locations.

“We’re losing about one-and-ahalf full time equivalent positions through the two labs on the Peninsula,” she said, “and VIHA currently has 15 full time vacancies for lab staff that workers should be able to bump into.”

Another lab, located at Admirals Walk in View Royal, will also be a part of the service cutbacks by VIHA. It will also close it doors at noon on weekdays and no longer offer weekend service. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

VICTORIA — Elections BC has given approval in principle to marijuana activist Dana Larsen’s bid to lead a petition drive for de-criminalizing marijuana possession.

Larsen has proposed B.C. go around the federal law with a “Sensible Policing Act” that would disallow the use of B.C. police resources to prosecute simple possession of small amounts of pot by adults. This fall, Larsen will be allowed to begin collecting signatures in an effort to force an initiative vote similar to that used to reverse the harmonized sales tax.

Individuals and groups have until Aug. 12 to register with Elections BC to oppose the ini-

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home?

Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities?

Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program.

tiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures.

Larsen, who was involved with the B.C. Marijuana Party before seeking the leadership of the B.C. NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible BC. His organization will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts.

If that threshold is reached, Elections BC would hold a province-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST. Decriminalizing pot has received mainstream support in recent years, including a narrow majority vote at the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own.

Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

In a debate at that convention in Victoria last September, former B.C. Liberal attorney general Geoff Plant advocated for loosening marijuana laws, as has since been done in Washington State and Colorado.

The idea was opposed by criminologist Darryl Plecas, who was elected B.C. Liberal MLA for Abbotsford South in the May provincial election.

Larsen has had a colourful career, including editor of Vancouver-based Cannabis Culture magazine and co-founder of the Vancouver Seed Bank, which has sold seeds for marijuana, poppies, peyote and coca.

Larsen resigned as an NDP candidate in the 2008 federal election, after videos surfaced showing his drug use a decade earlier.

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis.

If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Beacon Avenue two-way debate deferred again Sidney council pushes discussion on the issue into the fall Steven Heywood News staff

Beacon Avenue will remain a split oneway and two-way street at least another few months, after council rejected a plan to start consulting with the community over the benefits — or hinderances — of changing the direction of traffic.

It is the second such delay of any discussion between council and the public pertaining to changing Beacon’s one-way status between Fifth and First streets to a full two-way configuration.

In a report from town staff, council had voted on April 8 to delay any further consultation of its Downtown Traffic movement Study “pending the impact of the Business Improvement Area, completion of the Fifth Street and Ocean Avenue roundabout … and completion of the 2013 street market.”

The report indicates the roundabout is done, the BIA is in place and the street market is half-way through its season.

Not good enough, says Councillor Mervyn Lougher-Goodey, who has been at the fore

Steven Heywood/News staff

Sidney’s Beacon Avenue remains at the centre of a traffic flow debate. of votes to delay any further public consultation on the traffic study.

“Council agreed not to do anything further until the end of the market season, the signage issue is complete and the roundabout is done,” he said.

Council is currently consulting with the public and business community on proposed changes to the municipal sign bylaw.

That, however, was not originally a reason cited by council in this case.

Lougher-Goodey added he’s not heard of any public appetite for changing the current

traffic flow on Beacon. He referred to recent letters to the editor in the News Review that have been asking for change, but noted they originate from a single source. Local hotelier Denis Paquette has led the charge in recent months among local business owners who want Beacon reverted back to a two-way flow, like it was more than a decade ago. Paquette formed the group STIG — Sidney Traffic Improvement Group — to further that agenda.

Lougher-Goodey went so far as to raise the bugaboo of provincial plans to change

the Beacon and Highway 17 interchange — plans that have been around for years in what is essentially a discussion paper.

Coun. Steve Price said such plans would impact Sidney’s entire traffic system, if and when they occur.

“It would be a shame for this council to undo previous councils’ work,” he said, “and then, a new council could be faced with changing the work of this council.”

Coun. Melissa Hailey said she didn’t want to simply reject plans for public consultation, indicating she thinks the community is split on the issue. She added if some groups are all for two-way flow, they might want to consider paying for it themselves.

“That would only work if the rest of the community is OK with changing (Beacon) to two-way,” said Mayor Larry Cross.

Town staff have estimated the initial cost of changing the traffic flow to be around $165,000 and would include removing oneway signs, line painting, reconstruction of sidewalk bump-outs and modifying the street lights at Fifth Street to facilitate eastbound traffic. Extra costs would be incurred in promoting the consultation process.

Instead, council voted unanimously to postpone further debate to its strategic planning sessions in October. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Residents give Peninsula Streams the cold shoulder Meetings over plans for Chalet Creek and Gardner’s Pond go unattended, despite residents’ ire Steven Heywood News staff

After almost no one showed up to two planned meetings to share information with neighbours of Gardner’s Pond in North Saanich, the Peninsula Streams Society hopes the third time’s the charm at another gathering in September.

Ian Bruce, the society’s executive co-ordinator, says Peninsula Streams volunteers tried to go door-todoor at Mulberry Place with invitations to one of two meetings set up July 4 or July 9. The society had hoped to speak with residents

about plans for the pond, including a berm or boardwalk, and nearby Chalet Creek.

Bruce said no one showed up at the July 4 meeting, and only one couple from Maple Street turned out on July 9.

“I was disappointed no one came out for this,” Bruce said.

Residents appeared last month at North Saanich district council meetings, expressing anger and concern over those plans, vowing to stop them and pressure council to act on their wishes. They have said they’re worried any changes to the pond itself could

impact their property.

A spokesperson for the residents did not return News Review calls by deadline.

North Saanich council and staff have said there are no applications for any work before the municipality.

They have also asked Peninsula Streams not to proceed with any plans for the area until they have consulted with the residents.

That is what Peninsula Streams has been trying to do ever since, Bruce said, adding they haven’t had a significant response and their attempts at communicating with residents have been rebuffed at

every turn.

“We are ready to provide information at any time,” Bruce said. “It was unfortunate that no one showed up (at the meetings) but they can call us at any time.”

He’s not giving up on meeting with people, however. Bruce said there will be a meeting on Tuesday, September 10 for people who live in the Chalet Creek watershed — that’s in the area of Tatlow Road. The location is to be determined, but the time will be 7 to 9 p.m.

Bruce said Peninsula Streams will advertise it and send mail outs to households in the area,

inviting residents to the meetings.

There are no plans for any work in the Gardner’s Pond area this summer, Bruce said.

He added Peninsula Streams does not have

Plenty of Sidney to go around

S

idney residents and business owners certainly like to share what they have with visitors and guests to their community.

And why wouldn’t they? Sidney has a lot to offer out here on the Saanich Peninsula and for many, it is already a destination for its many events, markets and scenery.

The new Sidney Business Improvement Association is going to try to capitalize on that willingness to welcome people to town and share all that makes the community what it is today — and could be in the future.

The BIA is embarking on a marketing program enticing people from afar to “Come Get Your Share” of all that Sidney has to offer. That’s the main catchphrase coming out of the BIA’s efforts to develop a brand for the business community — part of the overall marketing message that will be going out to Greater Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary and Seattle.

There is certainly enough to go around — from the scenery along the waterfront and the many community events throughout the year, to unique businesses and owners who go the extra mile to make your experience an excellent one. The BIA is ready to tell people about Sidney.

The key in this entire effort is the ‘I’ in BIA — improvement.

Members of the association are looking to local business owners and operators to step up their effort and change their approach — even just a little — to help make people’s experiences in town great ones. Experiences that will keep them coming back for more and sharing that with their friends. And that’s another important key in the evolution of the downtown business community.

With a heavy emphasis on the digital world, the BIA is hoping those businesses with a lower online profile will improve their presence and reap the benefits of what they are trying to accomplish — mainly sharing what Sidney has to share via the web. It’s another enticement for folks to step up their effort and build a vibrant downtown core.

The BIA appears to be on the right track. They have looked into what the community has to offer and realized there is a whole lot of Sidney to go around.

Should the municipality’s request go unheard, Saanich Coun. and longtime sewage treatment critic Vic Derman plans to bring forward a similar motion for consideration by the CRD board, demanding “an extensive, independent review of the current project” before any further work is done.

In its selection of the Viewfield sludge plant site, the CRD ignored public opinion until the last minute.

In the rush to break ground at McLoughlin Point, it ignored Esquimalt council and again dismissed public outcry. Even if the CRD succeeds in appealing to the province to force sewage treatment forward in its current form, this week’s events have made it clear that opposition will continue to grow until the district finds some much-needed humility.

Protecting land at issue I’m writing in response to the recent column by Simon Nattrass (CRD Lands Worth Protecting).

Mr. Nattrass didn’t mention that the huge commercial development eventually turned down by the CRD, came about only because the provincial Liberal government allowed Western Forest Products (WFP) to take its private forest lands out of its Tree Farm License. WFP was granted access to thousands of hectares of public Crown land for timber harvesting, in part because the company agreed to include its private lands within the forest management constraints of the Tree Farm License.

WFP was allowed to remove its private lands with no compensation whatsoever for the historical timber benefits and without consulting and ignoring requests for assistance from the local land use planning authority, the CRD. The provincial Auditor General stated, in his review of the WFP provincial decision, that it was made “without due regard for the public interest.”

In addition to making these lands vulnerable to the kind of sprawl development Mr. Nattrass rightly decries, the province has forced the CRD and its partner, The Land Conservancy of B.C., to buy back lands of key ecological and recreational significance. The province also used tax dollars to protect these lands.

Mr. Nattrass notes the upcoming debate on the CRD’s Regional Sustainability Strategy will be crucial to address urban sprawl in the Juan de Fuca area. We should not forget, however, the province got us into

this mess, and has a responsibility to help us get out of it.

The Saanich Peninsula has its own challenges in addressing urban sprawl.

Ultimately, it will be informed public participation in this process that will ensure that rural, agricultural and forested landscapes are preserved, and that urban areas are kept compact to ensure the costs of taxpayer funded infrastructure and needed public transit improvements are minimized.

Gary Holman, MLA Saanich North and the Islands

Continued from page 1

Marketing plan has heavy digital emphasis BIA marketing committee chair Angus Matthews says their new local promotion strategy has a heavy online emphasis, which could create issues for some business owners but could also propel them into the digital age.

In their research and legwork in developing the BIA’s marketing plan for downtown Sidney, Matthews said they found out there are haves and have-nots among the businesses.

“There’s a concern because some business do not have websites,” he explained, adding the BIA plans to have a strong web presence, a smart phone app to reach potential customers, online video of local businesses and more.

“This is the future for Sidney,” he continued, “it’s dynamic marketing, a fresh image and new approach.”

“It’s the local customers you really gotta keep,” he said, noting that once the tourist season ends in Sidney, local shoppers remain the base.

He also questioned why the BIA wasn’t spending more to support local events.

Matthews made it clear to council the BIA will not be subsidizing the cost of events.

“We market those events,” he said, “we amplify the marketing and bring more people in but it’s not our role to subsidize events.”

Matthews argued that the business community and the rest of

Sidney has to step up its game if local events are going to thrive and the marking initiative is going to see a broad effect. He used Family Day back in February as an example — a successful Legobased event that saw hundreds if not thousands of people spend the day in town. While the events were a success, some business were closed that day, losing an opportunity to keep people in Sidney longer.

“The BIA is marketing a feeling,” added Coun. Marilyn Loveless.

“But will the stores be open, will they deliver and will customer ser-

vice follow suit?”

Herman said while much of that is out of the BIA’s direct control, they are being careful in the marketing material to only advertise what Sidney can deliver.

“We have been talking with the (Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce) on this,” added Matthews, saying the chamber is keen on taking on a training role for its members.

He added there are plenty of examples of great customer service in Sidney.

“We just need more.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Helping landowners pursue stream stewardship opportunities Continued from page 3

HAT cooperates with streamside landowners in order to reduce stream threats like stream bank erosion, contaminated road runoff, invasive weed species, and pests like deer and geese.

HAT will also help landowners pursue stream stewardship initiatives established by the Peninsula Streams Society as well as host restoration workshops for residents

interested in stream-side tree planting activities.

“We come out and walk the property with the landowner and identify possible improvements or adjustments to their land. Then we tailor the recommendations to the ability and interests of the owners. It’s all voluntary activities,” said Carnahan.

Residents can request a free information package with practical ideas on landscaping, water efficiency and attract-

ing songbirds and biologists from HAT can meet with residents to look at the unique challenges and opportunities for every property and follow up with science-based recommendations. Visits and land care recommendations by HAT are free of charge and confidential. For more on HAT and the Good Neighbours Project, contact Todd Carnahan at 250-995-2428 or email todd@hat.bc.ca. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
