Oak Bay still safe according to Stats Can Oak Bay one of the safer communities on the Island Danielle Pope News staff

like Marks aim to get up to 12 adults hooked on the activity that is often misunderstood as an expensive and elitist sport. And while this month’s classes kicked off Aug. 5, the group may be offering a September session due to higher than usual demand. “We are very lucky because, in Victoria, you can sail year round and for a city that is very environmentally conscious, it’s a sport you can do without impact, so it’s a very different way to experience the coast,” says Marks, who doubles as the aquatic programmer for Recreation Oak Bay.

Oak Bay residents can take a deep breath – the area is still considered one of the safest communities in Canada. Statistics Canada released the results of its 2012 crime severity statistics study, and Oak Bay’s total crime severity index rated 264 out of 297 communities in Canada. The study, which looked at communities in Canada with populations of 10,000 or more residents, also pinned Oak Bay with a violent crime severity index ranking of 279 out of 297. Meanwhile, the non-violent kent Thom crime severity ranking saw Oak Bay take 248 out of 297. “The results for 2012 are consistent with where Oak Bay has placed in past years, and we are confident that we provide the best service we can with the resources we have,” said Oak Bay Police Deputy Chief Const. Kent Thom. “That said, we’re always out to improve and it’s a real credit to the community because we get tremendous help from the community here … What other communities might consider to be inconsequential and insignificant issues often give us positive results in solving investigations and crime.” The departments’ clearance rate, which is a measure of how many criminal code investigations were solved in the previous year, increased by 5.8 per cent over the previous year’s results. Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, said he is pleased with the results.

here’s always a breeze of nervous excitement on the day new sailors will practice capsizing their boat. It’s the very thing that most people are scared of when they begin sailing lessons, says west coast sailing guru Alana Marks, but it’s also what gives them the greatest sense of accomplishment: beating that fear. “First, they find out how hard it is to actually get a boat tipped, then they see how in-control they are of the situation and feel really proud of bringing it back up,” she says. Capsizing is one of the first training elements participants learn when taking their CANSail Level 1 course through Recreation Oak Bay’s Adult Sailing Lessons. For an entire month, instructors

Meghan Mathias, left, aquatic coordinator for Recreation Oak Bay, learns how to tie a knot for a sailboat with the guidance of Alana Marks, a lifelong sailor, instructor, and aquatic programmer for the rec centre. Danielle Pope/News staff

A boat for everyone Continued from Page A1

Marks began her sailing career at age nine. She was on a friend’s sailboat and lit up with the excitement of going fast and getting to control the boat. She had always been a water baby and had tried kayaking and other boating methods, but sailing opened up a new side of the sea. She joined the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets at age 12, became a junior instructor at age 15, received her official Sailing Institute Certification at 16, and has taught sailing to youth and adults around the Island for almost 10 years. “There are so many isolated gems and hidden secrets along our coastline, and sailing is one thing we are especially lucky to have to allow us access to those,” says Marks. There are a few things everyone should know about sailing before starting out: it’s important to have a love of the outdoors and water (though many people join up to resolve their fears of deep water), it’s a surprisingly social sport, which Marks says not a lot of people realize, there’s a huge sailing community in Victoria, and you can learn to sail at any age. “One of the greatest things is that we see 16-year-olds sailing with their grandparents, and 25-year-olds sailing as

OUR VIEW

Tories fumble senate reform Among the many platform promises that helped the federal Conservatives win the 2011 election was having senators voted into office instead of being appointed, and having term limits. The Conservative election platform complained that Liberals “blocked us at every turn” under the minority government. In earlier elections, Prime Minister Stephen Harper vowed senate reform, which was touted by Conservative candidates across Canada, including in Victoria. Harper has seemingly reversed course, appointed dozens of new senators over the past six years and has been largely silent on reforming Canada’s un-elected Upper Chamber. With Conservative senators now mired in accounting scandals, the Harper government could have parlayed this public relations disaster into renewed calls for making the senate accountable and democratic. Instead, it finds itself drawn into trying to explain a secret loan for improper expenses. Instead of acting, the government opened the door for the federal NDP to capitalize on senate reform. Its “roll up the red carpet” campaign – a call to abolish the senate – does an effective job laying out the cost of the upper house at $92.5 million this year for a privileged group that works on average 71 days per year. It’s a good political move by the NDP and an effort the Conservatives can’t credibly oppose. With all the Conservative rhetoric about senate reform over the past years, it took until July for the federal government to apply to the Supreme Court of Canada to rule on if Parliament alone can change rules on term limits and appointments, or if the provinces must be in unanimous agreement. The Harper Conservatives perhaps are finding a majority government has its pitfalls – they can’t blame others for blocking reforms (or increasing deficits for that matter). Now is the time for government to show leadership. If the latest scandals don’t show the need for senate reform, we don’t know what does. What do you think?

urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales. –Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS there is not a vehicle on the streets of the municipality. The trucks in themselves create enough noise and having three vehicles in procession each with sirens on does seem like overkill. Having said this, the fire department are not the only offenders. The ambulances are as bad. G.M. Burrows Oak Bay

Fence the deer in I fully support the request to fence the Oak Bay Native Plant Park (News Aug. 2). In addition to funding the fence, I’m asking council to approve additional funds to be used to relocate the deer to the

park and fence them in, thus saving our residents gardens. I suggest this is an expense that many residents would approve. Rick Gonder Oak Bay

Don’t doze on deer We elected Oak Bay council to serve. Clearly, it is not. This council voted unanimously to cull the deer. To me, that sounds like a promise, a commitment, yet nothing has been done. While this council continues to doze, no pun intended, new generations of deer will be born in large numbers. This will further exacerbate an already devastating problem.

The concept of a $7,700 fence around that tiny park, while the rest of us suffer is ludicrous and is discrimination. Council members who lack the courage to solve the problems for which they were elected, should resign immediately. I pay my taxes to Oak Bay – not the CRD. Jack Lowther Oak Bay

Local news.

After my wife and I were ignored and left stranded at the bus stop alongside Fairways in Oak Bay as bus 2A sped down the middle of the road past us, I telephoned B.C. Transit to confirm that this bus stop is in fact still “valid.” I spoke to a gentleman who confirmed he was the right person to contact about this incident and it seemed that having had my say, it was time to sign off. But, oh no, my contact clearly felt he needed to put me straight on a few things, namely that simply standing at a bus stop is

no guarantee that the next one will halt for you. As I understand it, aspiring passengers now need to stand at the edge of the curb and wave at the bus driver as he and his vehicle approach. Arms, legs, shopping bags – anything will do so long as you make certain that you are seen. If not, then it means walkies or waiting for the next one. And there was I thinking that “bus stop” meant just that – without the need for calisthenics. Derrick Johns Oak Bay

oelle, our B.C. Guide Dog puppy-in-training, is now six months old. Gone is the cute plump, huggable pup and in her place a long, lean and leggy “tweeny” has emerged, fully loaded with attitude. Our current effort is to teach her the “come” command, which is usually ignored if she has her paws onto something more intriguing … and sometimes smelly. But she is a pup still, and I am not on this journey alone. If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes three villages to raise a guide dog. I am helped by so many willing, kind and generous people. The talented staff at B.C. Guide Dog Services come over from Vancouver to assist in Noelle’s training. The folks at Feltham Pet Clinic care for all of the B.C. Guide Dog puppies in the area. The dog food is even donated by Purina. Another thing to mention is the warm welcome we always receive from local restaurants and cafés. Sears at Hillside lets us practise endlessly on its escalators. The municipality of Oak Bay provides a free dog license. The Oak Bay News carries this article to help share our adventure. Our friends who graciously wine and dine us knowing that a lively puppy must always accompany us. The many, many kind strangers who always have encouraging words. My patient and understanding husband. The list is long. All these people and more, contribute in some way to Noelle’s development. I receive a lot of validation but I know that much community effort goes into turning a rambunctious puppy into a working dog. By the time Noelle is paired with her blind or autistic partner, she will have cost B.C. Guide Dogs $35,000, but the recipient will pay only $1 to the charity. The remaining cost is donated by people like you and me. Just $15 a month helps Noelle change someone’s life. A warm thank you to all who contribute from Noelle and me. - Tara Douglas is fostering and training Noelle for B.C. Guide Dog Services

“The fact that Oak Bay continues to be one of the safest communities in Canada is a credit to the residents and to the community policing model that guides the operations of the Oak Bay Police Department,” said Jensen, chair of the Oak Bay Police Board. For violent crimes, Northumberland (Hamilton), Ont. scored the safest at 297, while Thompson, Man. won the top spot for most dangerous. For overall crime severity, North Battleford, Sask. came in first riskiest place, while Amherstburg, Ont. was marked the overall safest place to be, at 297. Oak Bay beat out Saanich, which ranked 241 overall and 246 for violent crimes. However, Central Saanich had the jump with 280 on the overall scale and 291 out of 297 for violent crimes. Not to be outdone, safe North Saanich ranked 281 overall and 295 for violent crimes – all a far cry from neighbouring Victoria, which scored the 32nd spot on the overall crime scale and 26th-spot for most violent crimes in 2012. news@mondaymag.com

WITH AN OLD SQUEEZE

DAnIEL pALMER dpalmer@vicnews.com

leksandar Milojevic doesn’t shy away from his lifelong love of the accordion. As conductor of the B.C. Accordion Orchestra, president of the B.C. Accordion Society and current director of the Victoria Accordion Festival, Milojevic is marking this year’s Aug. 17-24 event with a particularly proud achievement – hosting the 66th annual Coupe Mondaile, the world’s biggest accordion competition. “Once you enter the accordion game, it’s not easy to get out,” he says. More than 200 accordionists from six continents will arrive in Victoria for the festival, marking the first time since 1964 the competition will be held on Canadian soil. Accordionists will compete for world titles in eight categories including classical, jazz and virtuoso entertainment genres at Alix Goolden Hall. One of the festival’s highlights will be the accordion parade, says Milojevic, which begins at Bastion Square and continues down Government Street on Aug. 18. “It’s an open call to everyone, and even if you don’t have an accordion, we’ll provide an accordion for you,” he says. “It will be interesting to see how many people actually like accordions in this city.” The world’s best soloists and ensembles – including Ludovic Beier, Renzo Ruggieri, Jelena Milojevic, Trio Voronezh and World Accordion Orchestra – will fill Alix Goolden with squeezebox sounds while Ballet Victoria and Vox Humana Choir will make guest appearances.

victoria accordion festival - Italian according virtuoso Renzo Ruggieri will be playing at the 7th Annual Victoria International Accordion Festival at the Jazz Masters concert on Aug. 21 at 8 p.m. at Alix Goolden Performance Hall. Tickets available at Tempo Trend and Long & McQuade. An accordion museum open exhibition will be set up at the Victoria Conservatory of Music to display the rich history of the instrument and Centennial Square will host free daily performances at noon and a larger wrap-up performance Aug. 24 featuring accordionists from as far away as Russia.

Single tickets are available starting at $25, while festival passes run $115 and include a draw for a trip to Italy. Tickets are available at Tempo Trend studios (410 Burnside Rd. E.) and Long & McQuade (756 Hillside Ave.) For more information, visit bcaccordion.ca or call 250-475-3525.

aysia laW - Victoria’s youth poet laureate will pump up diversity.

Youth poet laureate launches Diversity Slam

approved

Victoria has an amazing array of voices and stories to be told, and the Diversity Poetry Slam will celebrate these voices at the Victoria Events Centre on Aug. 19. This is the first official project organized by Victoria’s first youth poet laureate, Aysia Law. “Everyone has a story,” says Law. “I’m hoping this event will serve as an open forum for respectful discussion around diversity in our community.” The show includes a feature performance by First Nations storyteller and “East Van ghetto poet” Zaccheus Jackson. Having battled through addiction, apathy and what he calls “a nasty case of Virgo,” Jackson has risen to be one of Canada’s most celebrated spoken-word artists. He infuses rapid-fire delivery, gritty street tales, intricate rhyme patterns and social criticism into poems that will leave you counting syllables in your sleep. “It is empowering to share your story, and we are trying to create a safe space where everyone has a chance to experience that feeling,” says Jeremy Loveday, youth poet laureate mentor. The Diversity Slam also features an open mic portion of the night. Everyone is welcome to sign up and perform their work. Silly prizes will be awarded to participants. Check out the slam Aug. 19, 7:30 p.m. at the Victoria Event Centre (1415 Broad). All are welcome. Suggested donation $5-$10. Zaccheus Jackson will be holding a same-day anti-oppression workshop at the VEC from 4-6 p.m. Cost: $5.

a traffic citation and the car must now undergo a mechanical inspection to rule out the chance that the parking brake is faulty.

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Road rage never pays off

Mother won’t be happy

Police were called to a noisy party on Uplands Road around 11 p.m. on July 29, and while party goers dispersed, one young man was especially conspicuous in his attempts to avoid police. When officers caught up with him, the 17-year-old’s backpack was searched and 24 grams of marijuana were found. While the marijuana was seized for destruction, the boy had never been in any trouble with police before, so was taken home to his “very disappointed” mother. Charges are not being considered at this point.

Mini escapes again

A 76-year-old woman’s 1991 Mini Cooper caught police attention for a second time mid-morning on Aug. 1, when it rolled out of a steep driveway in the 500-block of Beach Drive, across the two-lane road and a sidewalk before coming to rest in some blackberry bushes. While no one was hurt, the Mini pulled the same stunt into the blackberry bushes in March 2012. The owner was issued

A traffic complaint took a turn for the worse on the evening of Aug. 3, when two men, aged 52 and 65, had a disagreement over the rules of the road on Shelbourne Street. The older man, unable to let it go, began “tailing” the other up McKenzie Street, past the university and eventually onto Cadboro Bay Road where the 52-year-old contacted police and advised them what was going on and that he intended to lead the other to the police station. Police pulled the 65-year-old and his Jaguar over on Bowker Avenue, only to find that the man had consumed a quantity of alcohol that may have affected his decision-making skills. A roadside test was administered and a three-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition was issued. The Jaguar was impounded for three days.

Lock your car doors

Last week saw a rash of vehicle “break-ins” in Oak Bay, with an ironic twist: all vehicles were left unlocked and parked in driveways or on the street. Five vehicles were reported to have been entered in the Hampshire Road/St. Ann Street/

Bowker Avenue/Cavendish Street area on Aug. 7 and 8, many with expensive items stolen. Oak Bay Police are asking residents to lock unattended vehicles at all times.

Lock your locker, too

A patron of Oak Bay Rec Centre was discovered to have a backpack full of expensive bicycle gear on Aug. 10, stolen from the open cubby storage area in the upstairs gym. Patrons are reminded to use the locking lockers at all times for valuables.

Bottled back to the States

A 39-year-old man who was collecting bottles on Beach Drive at Cavendish Street was checked by police on Aug. 11. Officers discovered the man was an American citizen and had been in Canada illegally since 2009. He was arrested under the Immigration Act and lodged in cells, pending an immigration hearing.

Remember to stop

Oak Bay Police report a surprising number of motorists failing to remain at the scene of an accident recently. Officers wish to remind the public that a driver, or other person directly or indirectly involved in an accident must remain at or immediately return to the scene and render all reasonable assistance possible. If property is damaged on or adjacent to a highway, officers remind residents to take reasonable steps to locate and notify the owner. Failure to do so may result in Motor Vehicle Act charges or charges under the Criminal Code.

Chance a test

A 63-year-old driver got more trouble than he bargained for on Aug. 9, when he was stopped for excessive speeding on Estevan Avenue. The officer could smell alcohol on the driver’s breath, and the man was issued a driving prohibition for failing or refusing to provide a roadside breath sample. The driver lost his licence for 90 days and the car – belonging to his employer – was impounded for 30 days.

Vision Matters Dr. Neil Paterson

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Amblyopia

a.k.a. “Lazy Eye” The word “amblyopia” is Greek in origin and it quite literally means slow vision. The term “lazy eye” is often used to describe amblyopia to patients. If an eye is to become amblyopic, it will do so during the period of visual development between birth and about ten years of age. One eye is sending a weaker signal to the brain; therefore fewer connections will be made to the brain for that eye. This condition can occur if one is born with eyes significantly different prescriptions. Over time, the ability to use both eyes at once is diminished. The brain has many cells requiring input from both eyes. These cells, devoted to binocular vision and depth perception, are unable to develop if both eyes are not sending a strong signal, consequently the weaker eye wanders. Researchers disagree about the exact age up to which amblyopia can be successfully treated. They do agree however that the key to remediating amblyopia is early detection and treatment. Remember, the first eye examination should be at around the third birthday.

Climbers ready for worlds World Youth Climbing championships at Boulders Gym Travis Paterson News staff

Kimanda Jarzebiak is at the centre of the world’s competitive climbing community this summer. For years the local coach has been the landlord for promising Canadian climber Alison StewartPatterson, and this month Jarzebiak has opened her house to even more climbers for the 2013 World Youth Championships at Boulders Climbing Gym, Aug. 15 to 19. “It’s true, I have a basement full of climbers right now,” Jarzebiak said. Stewart-Patterson will not only share her toaster this week but her home climbing wall as well. She moved to Victoria three years ago from Kamloops to train on the International Federation of Sport Climbing-certified wall at Boulders, in Central Saanich on the same property as Stelly’s secondary school. “It’s a great opportunity to have the worlds here. Living here I get a lot of chances to train on the (Boulders’) wall we’ll be competing on, but a lot of the athletes came early and will know it well by the start of the competition,” Stewart-Patterson said. In actual fact, sharing is a big part of climbing, Jarzebiak said. “It’s quite unique to competitive climbing that, even in the quarters and semifinals of a competition opposing climbers will diagnose a route together. It’s something that starts with the recreational form of climbing and it doesn’t end no matter how high up the competition levels you go.” Routes are one thing, speed is another. The 19-year-old Stewart-Patterson has trained and competed in lead climbing until this year and is now proving she could soon be Canada’s

Stewart-Patterson scaled the Boulders wall in 14.1 seconds earlier this year, which would be an unofficial Canadian record, she said. She’s thinking she can hit the 11 second mark at the worlds. Last week Stewart-Patterson was in Cali, Colombia, representing Canada at the World Games, where

she scaled the wall in 12.96 seconds. The wall wasn’t IFSC certified, so the time doesn’t stand as a Canadian record. Alison and her brother Robert, who also lives here to train at Boulders, both won junior gold in the speed category at the National Climbing Championships at Boul-

ders in May. Alison’s gold time was 17.8 seconds and Robert’s was 9.7 seconds. Robert has represented Canada at a number of open events, including the World Championships in Paris, France in 2012. Alison was recently 15th at the World Games, a junior in the open category with the best in the world. “The Cali time (12.96) is an unofficial new Canadian speed record though the wall was temporary which is why probably it wasn’t paid for to be certified,” Alison said. Jarzebiak attended the World Games as a coach and said Alison could have been even better if she wasn’t facing heavy humidity and temperatures between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius. “It was an extreme having that humidity, it adds a lot of friction and is harder to adjust to if you’re from Canada.” More than 400 athletes from 35 countries are expected for the worlds, with an estimated 2,000 spectators, making it one of, if not the biggest, sporting event in the Greater Victoria this summer. “The national championships was a great test event for the organizing team. It was a third of the size in terms of climbers attending, our volunteers were trained, and we can improve on a lot of things,” Jarzebiak said. The World Youth Climbing championships start at 8 p.m. on Thursday (Aug. 15) with opening ceremonies. Qualifying rounds in the lead and difficulty category start 9:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Speed climbing is Sunday with practice rounds at 8:30 a.m., qualifying rounds at noon, and finals at 4:30 p.m. Semifinals for lead/difficulty start at 9:30 a.m. on Monday with finals at 4:30 p.m. and the awards and closing ceremonies at 7:30 p.m. The Boulders Climbing Gym is at 1627 Stelly’s Crossroad Rd. in Central Saanich, and online at climbtheboulders.com. sports@vicnews.com

Rebels quarterback Hunter Lake connected with receiver Eric Eggleston for two touchdown passes and Manuel Juma and Sean Shepherd each rushed for one touchdown. The Rebels host the Langley Rams (3-0), 2 p.m. Saturday at Westhills Stadium.

DEATHS

Terry Nielsen June 25, 1965 to July 27, 2013 Terry is survived by loving wife, Tanya Harmon, stepsons Jonathan and Cody, father Butch Nielsen and his partner Hilary, mother Suzan Clancy, sister Kelly Nielsen, brother and sister, Kelly James and Keshia Clancy, and nephew Keifer. Terry was born in Vancouver and grew up in Cordova Bay, Victoria, attending Claremont Senior Secondary and, later, the University of Victoria to receive a Bachelor of Science degree with a double major in Biology and Biochemistry. He entered the field of aquaculture, and had increasing managerial responsibility within leading BC salmon aquaculture companies, out of Tofino. Subsequently, Terry worked for the Provincial Government as a Biologist, assisting finfish aquaculture operations to achieve compliance with licensing requirements, and more recently involved with freshwater fisheries. He was a consistent and passionate advocate of fish farming as an essential alternative to wild stock fishing. Outside of work, Terry loved surfing the breaks around Tofino, and was a gifted and avid runner. He gave tremendously of himself to his local and global communities. Whether it was holding the Canadian governmentâ€™s feet to the flames of their commitments to international development, active engagement with local Alcoholics Anonymous groups, involvement with the Comox Valley Road Running club, or his key role in Strathcona Sunrise Rotary in the Comox Valley, culminating with his service as President from 2012 to 2013, he brought with him a rich sense of humour, passion, energy, no-nonsense pragmatism and leadership that manifested his tireless commitment to making the world a better place. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Upper Gazebo of Marina Park, Comox on August 24, 2013 at 2pm. In keeping with Terryâ€™s own principles and expressed wishes, it is requested that flowers not be gifted. For those wishing to remember and perpetuate Terryâ€™s legacy, donations to either the Kenya Education Endowment Fund (KEEF) or the Rotary Club of Strathcona Sunrise would be welcomed with gratitude. Donations to KEEF may be made at http://www.canadahelps. org/GivingPages/GivingPage.aspx?gpID=29270 (tax receipts provided). Please direct donations for the Rotary Club of Strathcona Sunrise to PO Box 3576, Courtenay, BC V9N 6Z8 (no tax receipts).

Thai Lemongrass turns one George Molnar assembled a talented crew of chefs – including his wife, Nadtaya (Tiu for short) – for his Thai Lemongrass restaurant when they opened in Cadboro Bay one year ago. The staff have between eight and 18 years’ experience, led by Bason Joodbrasong, who worked for years in Bangkok, and Kachen Pangkanant. Molnar says people from the neighbourhood volunteered to get the space ready at 3838 Cadboro Bay Rd. He adds those friends have stuck with them and Don Descoteau have been repaid through the restaurant serving Biz Beat consistent food. “Plus our chefs are not afraid to try different recipes. That’s what makes it unique,” says Molnar, whose eatery employs 20 people full- and part-time. Visit thailemongrass.com.

Three Greater Victoria projects have received the Silver Award of Excellence from the Vancouver Regional Construction Association. Two of the projects – the Saanich Peninsula Hospital electrical upgrade and CFB Esquimalt’s new base fire hall and emergency response centre – were handled by Saanichton’s Houle Electric and won in the category of electrical contractor project up to $2 million. The other award, for mechanical contracting over $3 million, was for CFB Esquimalt’s fleet maintenance unit Cape Breton combined services, Phase IV, completed by Edmonton-based Lockerbie and Hole Contracting.

The Hotel Grand Pacific has launched a new “wine on tap” service at its Pacific Restaurant. Using the Vancouver-based FreshTAP system, the hotel is offering keg-stored B.C. wine from some of the province’s favourite wineries. As the first Victoria hotel to offer the service, the Grand Pacific hopes to smash stereotypes around bulk wine and promises the last glasses out of the 19.5litre stainless steel kegs will be as fresh as the first.
