Compost a no-go: ALC Foundation Organics operation classified as a non-farm use of ALR land Devon MacKenzie News staff

Neighbours of a composting facility in Central Saanich may rest a little easier after the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) sent a letter to the operation that determined Foundation Organics is classified as being a non-farm use of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The much-needed clarification on the acceptable use of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) when it comes to composting was made public last week and outlined some reasons why the ALC found Stanhope Farm and Foundation Organics in contravention of the Agricultural Land Commission Act. Included in the letter was information detailing that the 40 hectare property (34 hectares of which were available after use for access roads and farm buildings) was only ever capable of having 2,125 tonnes of compost applied to it.

Peninsula News in brief Enforcing the rules

NORTH SAANICH — Mayor Alice Finall says the District of North Saanich council has been too lax in its enforcement of public participation rules.

The mayor said at the Nov. 4 regular meeting that she will do more to ensure people stick to the allotted time, are from the municipality and if they have any side conversations they will be asked to take it outside.

Employers battle transport and taxes Annual Tour of Industry continues to highlight issues Steven Heywood News staff

Issues of affordable housing, transportation and taxation continue to plague industry on the Saanich Peninsula and one of the area’s biggest employers says it’s the key to keeping good people at work in the community.

Greg Ramsay, president of Ramsay Machine Works, gave the keynote address during the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s 2013 Tour of Industry. After speaking on the company’s efforts in building a giant coal conveyor for Neptune Terminals in Vancouver, Ramsay addressed questions from the crowd at the Mary Winspear Centre.

“What are the main challenges to your doing business on the Saanich Peninsula?” asked Wendy Everson, a Sidney lawyer and chairperson of the annual Tour.

“One challenge,” Ramsay replied,” is keeping our employees. Affordable housing is needed here and without it, it has been tough to keep people involved.”

Seventy-five per cent of his company’s employees, he continued, live in the Western Communities — meaning many face issues of commuting to the Peninsula. Retaining those people over the long term remains difficult, he noted, as they will often look for work closer to home.

That leads to issues of public transportation — with limited bus service throughout the day to the West Sidney industrial area. Ramsay said there are an estimated 2,000 people working in that area and yet B.C. Transit

Greg Ramsay, president of Ramsay Machine Works, addresses a group of business owners and politicians during a speech on the 2013 Tour of Industry.

Business revealed What is behind some of the Peninsula’s closed doors?

The News Review begins a short series of stories next week on what interesting things you can find at some of the Saanich Peninsula’s major employers — Thrifty Foods Distribution Centre, CUBE Global Storage, Pendray Farms, the Mary Winspear Centre, Ramsay Group Facilities and Island Returnit Recycling.

The series starts Wednesday, Nov. 13.

Chair of the chamber’s Tour of Industry, Wendy Everson, heard first-hand local worker challenges. try have been communicating with local municipalities on taxation matters.

The key to growth, Ramsay added, is an increased pool of skilled labour — limited by some of the factors he talked about.

tion centre in North Saanich.

As the Tour visited the site, Everson said some workers explained how transit services get them into West Sidney — but hours before their shift is to start.

“It’s the employees who are being very direct about transportation needs,” said Everson. “These were 20-year-olds saying they

need public transportation, but existing services don’t match up to their shifts.”

What’s needed to help fill this gap, she continued, is a mid-morning bus to and from the area.

The issues expressed by the employees and by Ramsay in his speech, Everson noted, are very similar to the concerns raised by local industry during last year’s Tour. Like last year, this year’s Tour was wellattended by local and provincial politicians and administrators. Everson hopes they were listening.

“They certainly hear about these issues each and every time they’re on the Tour,” she said. “This year, it was once again loud and clear — we had a full bus for a reason. People know it brings them some value.”

Everson noted that during each Tour, she hears from a lot of people — including local community leaders — that they were unaware just what goes on behind the doors of some of the region’s industrial businesses. She added this is one way the local chamber of commerce is bringing these decisionmakers in touch with business and their needs.

“There are a number of challenges that are consistently identified each year by our participants” said Chris Fudge, Executive Director of the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce in a media release. “If we can start addressing these key issues, then we can take a significant step towards securing the economic vitality of this region for the future.”

Everson said the chamber plans to host its fifth Tour of Industry next year. People will have to sign up, she said, if they want to know what interesting businesses are on the tour list in 2014. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

It took a few months but MLA Gary Holman finally found office space in downtown Sidney.

The NDP MLA for Saanich North and the Islands officially opened his local constituency office at an open house Nov. 5. He had been working out of his legislative office in Victoria since June. Located on Fifth Street near Beacon Avenue in Driftwood Centre, the office has been busy since October when constituency assistants moved in.

“This will be a non-partisan office,” Holman told the small crowd at the open house. “People are finding us and we have a lot of files that we are already working on.”

Holman said his office, in the hub community of Sidney, will work with people who are, in general, facing challenges navigating provincial government to receive fair treatment on a variety of issues.

“We can’t help in every case, “ Holman said, “but in all cases, people will get an answer from us.”

The office is open between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays.

That’s much lower than the 5,000 the operation had originally stated.

The ALC noted the excessive amount of compost being applied to the land would result in high nitrogen content in the soil.

“In completing this investigation of the Stanhope farm and Foundation composting facility located on the property, the ALC has concluded that the information provided in advance of its May 16, 2011 letter is not consistent with the current understanding of the farm and composting operation. The ALC does not believe the current composting operation is compliant with the Act and Regulation and considers that the operation constitutes an unauthorized non-farm use of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve,” said the report.

Central Saanich Mayor Alastair Bryson, who was eager to have the ALC’s ruling handed down said he is relieved the commission came through with a decision.

“I am pleased that the ALC has finally provided this much needed clarity,” said Bryson.

“The district agrees that it is important that the ALC outright permitted composting use and the resulting amount of compost is limited to a scale that can be beneficially applied to the farmland where the compost facility is located. With this ALC clarification, any operation that proposes to produce more compost than the farm can beneficially apply to the land will necessitate an application to the ALC for a ‘non-farm use’ which would allow for a public process including input from Central Saanich council.”

The CRD had directed the facility to remove any remaining compost in the building at the facility as of Oct. 25, of which the ALC was also in support of.

The report also stated that a stop work order would be issued immediately if the operation was to start up again without first obtaining approval of the non-farm use from the ALC.

Island Health takes a peek into the future Public input sought for five-year plan Kyle Wells News staff

Island Health is thinking about the future and wants the public’s input on what direction it needs to take.

The health jurisdiction, also known as Vancouver Island Health Authority, is developing a new five-year plan to help guide its activities on the road to 2018.

“We do it periodically and it provides us with a strong sense

of where we’re going, what our focus and priorities are,” said Island Health spokesperson Sarah Plank. “It helps to guide the decisions that we make around healthcare delivery across the region.”

The authority has already identified what it sees as the pressing issues coming into the next five years.

Population growth, changes and aging are all seen as factors which will influence how health care is delivered in the future.

The population of the Island is expected to rise in general, and especially in specific communities. The rapid

growth of the West Shore, for instance, is cited as an upcoming challenge, with the population expected to grow by 10 per cent by 2018.

Other areas, such as the West Coast of Vancouver Island are expected to decrease in population, by about 3.5 per cent.

These fluctuations could lead to a need to change the delivery model and shift services from certain areas of the Island to others.

The “uneven distribution of health,” as an Island Health backgrounder on the process calls it, is another concern. Life expectancy

for First Nations people is six years shorter than for other residents and the rates for chronic disease are higher.

Remote and rural communities also have a lower life expectancy, particularly the North Island and the Port Alberni area. In these communities the rates for external causes of death, such as accidental poisoning, suicide and car crashes, along with alcohol and drugrelated death rates are more than double the

average for the province.

“There are a few challenges,” Plank said. “We want to do things better and we also want to do better things, to make sure what we’re doing is having the greatest impact.”

Island Health is now turning to the public for input on the already identified areas of interest, as well as new ideas on the needs of specific regions.

“We want to hear their thoughts about

Undersea cable pitched for clean energy Tom Fletcher Black Press

A company known mostly for wind projects is reviving a proposal to connect the Vancouver Island and Washington electricity grids.

Sea Breeze Power Corp. wants to build a 50-kilometre transmission cable under the Strait of Juan de Fuca to connect substations near Port Angeles and Victoria. To finance the project, it’s looking for a 10-year deal to assemble surplus U.S. power and sell it to B.C. Hydro at a flat rate of $69 per megawatt hour.

Sea Breeze CEO Paul Manson said the power purchase would finance the construction of the cable and deliver a steady source of electricity to B.C. at lower cost than new sources built in the province.

First proposed in 2006, the project has received environmental permits from both sides of the border. It was rejected by the B.C. Utilities Commission, which approved upgrading the existing power line instead.

Sea Breeze developed a wind project at Cape Scott on northern Vancouver Island and has plans and permits for other wind sites on the B.C. coast and the Peace River region.

Manson said the Juan de Fuca cable would stabilize wind power supply on the B.C. coast, where wind speeds peak in winter, with inland Washington sites where it’s windiest in summer.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the Juan de Fuca cable is one of many proposals that came forward as B.C. Hydro developed its integrated resource plan.

the opportunities and challenges we’re facing,” Plank said. “In every community there will be different issues that will be important and that will be prominent. It’s not a cookie cutter, we need to tailor the services that we’re providing.”

Community open houses are being held throughout Vancouver Island, as well as Salt Spring Island.

Open houses will be held in Victoria on Nov. 26 at the Sandman Inn

A short survey is also available online at viha. fluidsur veys.com/s/ ih2018.

The strategic plan is intended to be complete by this spring.

OUR VIEW

Will Canada remember them?

O n Monday when people honour our fallen soldiers of wars long past and those serving in uniform now, Canadians will need to start thinking about the future of Remembrance Day and how it will remain connected to new generations.

Memories and stories of the First World War now entirely reside in photos, films and text. Those with living memories of D-Day or hunting U-boats on the Atlantic or fighting on the Korean Peninsula become fewer every year.

There will be a future not far off when students won’t be able to hear first hand from veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War why they fought for the freedoms of others.

More recently, Canadians fought and died in the mountains and badlands of Afghanistan trying nobly, but perhaps futilely, to bring peace and security to a nation with more entrenched problems than can be solved by military action.

Although that conflict certainly won’t be far from the memories of the veterans and families of that conflict, Afghanistan is also fading as a significant era for many Canadians.

Understanding our past and linking it in meaningful ways to the messages and meaning of Remembrance Day remains a challenge for our society. It will require parents and grandparents to teach their kids their family stories and personal connections with past conflicts to drive home what sacrifice really means.

Canada, to varying degrees, is ambivalent about its military and wartime history.

Remembrance Day isn’t a statutory holiday in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.

Our southern neighbour offers two official days of the year to celebrate its veterans and to remember past conflicts.

The frontline face of Remembrance Day in Greater Victoria are dedicated Legion volunteers, a group also aging and with few new people willing to take up the cause.

For Remembrance Day to survive, the values of sacrifice, service and courage of the past need to be rekindled for the future.

Sandown deal is better for North Saanich

W

hen I am considering committing to a major purchase, I will evaluate the salesperson’s offer. If it is a beneficial deal for me I will accept it. If it is a bad deal, I refuse it. If the salesperson comes back with a better offer, that will be considered on its own merits.

The original deal offered on the Sandown property would have left North Saanich residents on the hook for undetermined remediation costs on the land. Councillors Browne, Daly, McBride and Mearns had the fortitude to stand up to the pressure and turn this questionable deal down. What an outcry there was from the rest of council.

Sandown’s owner has now returned with a deal that is, by all accounts, better for North Saanich.

I assume this offer will be accepted. The four council members’ common sense paid off for the

community.

I now see letters by Councillor McMurphy and others in the PNR comparing these Sandown negotiations to gambling.

There was no spin of an imaginary Wheel of Fortune. The only spinning here is how an undeniable win for the community is being spun into yet another attack on Daly and Team North Saanich.

If I was about to make a bad deal for myself and someone came in and got a far better deal for me, I would be grateful. Perhaps, instead of using this situation to make political hay, certain people should be offering Browne, Daly, McBride and Mearns a polite thank you.

Readers respond: Sandown, local chickens Lucky there was a second offer In his gushing praise for councillors Browne, Daly, McBride and Mearns (PNR Oct. 16) Mr. Stanlake ignored the fact that these same councillors because of their delaying tactics could have deprived the citizens of North Saanich of this generous gift.

Mr. Randall set a deadline for acceptance of his original offer after which, if not met, he would put Sandown up for sale.

It was just fortunate there was a further offer. And, my goodness, even if North Saanich had to pay some of the remediation (Mr. Randall had originally offered $100,000), where else would one get 33.6 hectares for $650,000 which would have been recovered in taxes in a few years?

Kudos to Mayor Finall, councillors McMurphy and Stock and the CAO for their vision.

From gardens to chickens

I was happy to read about the student gardens at Sidney Elementary and how the students were able to enjoy the benefits that their garden had to give.

I think it is really important for kids to connect with where their food comes from and I believe that it will help them make healthier food choices in the future.

For this reason, and for many others, I believe that the town of Sidney ought to welcome other complementary food raising endeavours into the backyards of its community. As a complement to gardens may I submit to you the chicken. She is happy to produce compost for the garden and she is also

happy to eat any garden scraps or appropriate kitchen scraps.

This reduces stress on our landfill and enriches the garden soil for better production.

Chickens also produce eggs not only in the warmer months, but all year round. I will not even delve into the large subject of sustainability and the importance of protecting our Island food supply here but will bring it back to my original praise of the Sidney school gardens. Children raising chickens in their own backyards would continue to educate them about healthy food choices, it would get them outside, it would teach them how to be responsible and care for another living thing.

I really appreciate seeing real education in the school but real education has no borders. I also believe that home is the place to begin.

NEWS REVIEW

An investor’s best bet is in taking long-term view Many investors give little thought to setting a realistic time horizon over which they hope to achieve a targeted return on investment.

A targeted six per cent total annual return over a period of 10 years might be a realistic objective for a well-diversified portfolio comprised of 70 per cent equities and 30 per cent fixed income.

On the other hand, if that were the investor’s

objective over a brief period of only two to three years, it would be imprudent. In the latter case, the investor would be ignoring the short-term volatility inherent in equity investments. Over the shorter term, the investor might strike gold, but equally possible, would be a big loss.

For most investors in equity markets, a minimum investment time horizon of five years

An example: Over the five-year period ending Aug. 31, the TSX Index delivered an annualized total return of only 1.3 per cent. On the other hand, over the 10-year period to the end of August, the annualized total return was a sizzling 8.1 per cent.

This historic pattern of short-term equity market volatility, outweighed by excellent long-term performance, is precisely why the younger investor can benefit from holding primarily equity-based investments. On the other hand, as retirement approaches, equity-market volatility needs to be moderated by holding a greater proportion of fixed income.

the heightened risk of equity volatility. The best hedge? An even a greater proportion of fixed-income holdings.

Some equity participation is usually advisable for a retiree, in order to preserve some capital appreciation, and to protect against inflation.

The overriding lesson? Equity investing is primarily about careful initial selection, combined with a long-term view. The gambler may celebrate the occasional win, but over the long-term, he is most likely to lose.

Panthers, police to host ball hockey challenge

VLSCS presents

2013

Gala

News staff

The Sidney North Saanich RCMP, the Central Saanich Police Service and the Peninsula Panthers will join forces next week to host a ball hockey challenge with First Nations youth.

The two police forces and members from the junior B hockey team will host the event on Thursday, Nov. 14 at the Tsawout gymnasium.

The Panthers have framed a game jersey that will be presented prior to the game and organizers are expecting around five police officers from each department and around 10 members of the Panthers for the game.

“The next night, on Friday, Nov. 15, every single youth that attends the ball hockey challenge on Thursday will be admitted into the Panthers game for free,” explained Panthers hockey operations manager Pete Zubersky.

Zubersky also noted that there will be an on-ice ceremony prior to the game on Friday which will feature Connor Logan from the Peninsula Panthers and Lynden Eddy from the Nanaimo Buccaneers taking the opening face-off. Both players are First Nations.

“Connor [Logan] is currently in the top ten in VIJHL scoring and I expect that someday he will be playing junior A and beyond.

“I definitely see him as an NCAA scholarship

player,” said Zubersky, adding that he hopes showcasing talent like Logan’s will inspire youth to get involved.

“We want to demonstrate to First Nation youth and youth in general that there are opportunities out there for them, they just have to chase the dream, whatever that may be,” he said.

Before the game, Addie Elliott will sing the national anthem and Green Party interim leader and member of the Tsartlip First Nation Adam Olsen will do the ceremonial puck drop for Logan and Eddy.

“This event is very important to our organization and we’re really looking forward to it,” said Zubersky.

“The two evenings will be very special for everyone involved, especially First Nations Youth who are the focus of our efforts.”

The ball hockey game on Thursday, Nov. 14 in the Tsawout gymnasium happens at 6 p.m. The Panthers’ home game against the Nanaimo Buccaneers begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15.

SENIORS IN FOCUS Dementia housing project expands Brentwood House grows living quarters Devon MacKenzie News staff

The first ever licensed Dementia housing project in the province is celebrating its grand re-opening this week after it was expanded.

Brentwood House, located at the corner of West Saanich and Stelly’s X Road in Brentwood Bay, provides individuals with early to moderate stages of dementia with a home-like setting that encourages participation in regular daily life

activities and actively involves residents in the daily chores.

Beacon Community Services (BCS) partners with Island Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority) to run the facility which officially opened in late 2007. Since that time, an additional licensed Dementia housing project, Sluggett House (also in Brentwood Bay) was opened.

The expansion of Brentwood House adds three additional suites to the home which has been commended for keep-

ing individuals with dementia living more active lives.

“Brentwood House was created because research demonstrated that people with mild to moderate cognitive impairment performed better when they were allowed to participate as much as possible in all daily activities and maintain more independence than a traditional clinically focused care environment might allow,” said a press release from BCS. “A research study conducted by the University of Victoria validated that residents of Brentwood House scored better on all indicators one year after arriving.”

“We were very proud to partner with Island Health in pioneering this revolutionary model of care for dementia clients,” said Isobel Mackenzie, CEO for Beacon Community Services.

“The philosophy of promoting as much independence as possible is consistent with our values that respect an individual’s dignity and autonomy.”

Communication Strategies

Relationships are built on good communication. When there are disruptions in communication, frustrations can result and cause serious problems in relationships. Here are some helpful tips for communicating in general, but will be especially be useful when you or your loved one has a hearing loss.

• Gain the attention of your conversational partner before starting the conversation.

• Reduce background noise when possible. If you can, turn off or mute the television or radio before starting a conversation.

• Look at your conversational partner and have your mouth and face visible. Having access to visual cues (e.g. lip reading) will help in understanding the conversation.

• Have conversations while you are in the same room as your conversational partner.

• If the message is not understood, try using different words or phrases to get your message across instead of simply repeating what you just said.

• If you are unsure of what was said, ask for clarification instead of just simply nodding your head.

• Speak slowly and clearly but try not to shout. When we raise our voices, speech becomes distorted which can make the message even more difficult to understand.

We remember Nov. 11, 2013 ANAVETS welcomes everyone to Unit 302 Sidney’s Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans club 700 members strong and looking for more Devon MacKenzie News staff

A fixture in Sidney for both veterans and civilians alike is looking for new ways to increase their membership numbers.

Even though Sidney’s Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans club sounds like it is only for veterans, it is in fact open to all citizens of good standing and has been that way for many years, said the club’s bar manager, Dion Amyotte.

“Because of the name ANAVETS people automatically assume the club is just for veterans, and while we cater to veterans we are also open for any citizen in good standing to become a member,” said Amyotte.

The club, dubbed ANAVETS Unit 302, is located on Fourth Street in Sidney and currently has around 700 members. Amyotte said he sees around 150 of those members on a regular basis, along with a handful of Second World War veterans who still frequent

“It’s a great place for people of any age to come and socialize and have fun. I think we offer a lot that people don’t know about — but it can also be hard because it is a club and I think people may feel intimidated to approach us to see what it’s all about. I always encourage people to come in and see what we have here, it’s a great place.”

Amyotte also noted that membership fees for the club are nominal and range from $35 (for senior veterans) to $45 dollars (for civilians).

“That’s less than four dollars a month,” noted Amyotte.

The not-for-profit club is open daily and hosts events like barbecues, dances and golf tournaments on a regular basis. There’s also an active Ladies Auxiliary associated with the club.

We remember Nov. 11, 2013 Every medal collected tells the story of a soldier Military collection honours how and why medals were earned Steven Heywood News staff Steven Heywood/News staff

Sidney Museum puts on its Tribute to the Military display every year in early to mid-November.

At a glance, John Bardsley can tell what a military or civilian medal was for, what country it came from and where the person who wore it earned it.

The Sidney man has been collecting medals for years and is a regular contributor to the local museum’s annual Tribute to the Military display during November. He says he collects them because each one comes with a tale of service — even valour.

“The fascination for me is what the medals were given for and what they signify,” said Bardsley. “some were for long service, others are battle medals and some are valour awards.

“It’s about what the medals signified, what they stood for.

“That is what has always interested me about them.”

Let us not forget those who gave their lives for their country.

All branches of the armed forces are being recognized in the Sidney Museum and Archives’ annual Tribute to the Military this month.

In honour of this month of remembrance, the museum has opened up its new exhibition gallery to collectors of military artifacts, medals, documents, equipment and event art.

Peter Garnham, executive director, says they rely on community members and organizations like the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Society (ANAVETS), B.C. Air Museum and local Royal Canadian Legion for the display contents.

“One year, we even had

Displays pay tribute to the service of veterans in the army, navy, air force and the Merchant Navy, as well as the efforts of people back home during war time.

“The Tribute has been going on for years,” Garnham continued.

“It seems very appropriate to have the display on through November 11, Remembrance Day.” The Tribute to the Military display at the Sidney Museum runs to Nov. 15.

The museum is open from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. every day of the week and admission is by donation.

We remember Nov. 11, 2013 Military history passed down within a family Family service continues through a large collection Steven Heywood News staff

Connections made between his family and friends have opened up a supply of military collectables for Art Lyon.

Lyon owns an assortment of military items, but he is best known for his hats.

A portion of his collection is currently on display at the Sidney Museum until Nov. 15 and includes Canadian, German, Bulgarian and Russian headwear from a variety of eras in time.

Lyon found he was interested in collecting headgear at an early age. His father Gerry was a Sergeant-Major in the Second World War and his grandfather, Lorn, was a sergeant in the artillery during the First World War (actually a blacksmith, as artillery in those days was pulled by horses).

Art was in the militia, his dad’s brother was in the air force and he had a younger brother in the navy. There were also friends, family and workplace acquaintances with ties to various armed forces in a variety of countries. It was only natural that Art would come into possession of some hats, medals, uniforms and more.

Like other collectors, Lyon said he does it to honour the memory of his family and of the soldiers who wore the uniforms from many countries.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Art Lyon of Sidney looks over some of the military hats from his collection, now on display at the Sidney Museum until Nov. 15.

“I enjoy doing it,” he explained. “There are stories behind it and I particularly enjoy Canadian military history.

“It’s our heritage. Canada has fought in a great number of wars and we have a lot of

heroes.”

Still an avid collector, Lyon always keeps his eyes open for unique items and keeps track of how he came across his finds in his head. That knowledge, however, will not be

from long service medals and bars indicating rank or theatre of action, to awards for great valour — such as the Victoria Cross.

Crimean War cannons and the genuine article are hard to come across.

Bardsley has replica VCs and knows the difference between ones from the UK and ones from Canada (the Canadian ones have writing in Latin, as not to offend the country’s two official languages).

Even the ribbons holding each medal tells a story — mostly about where and when the hardware was earned and the reason the bearer won it.

Bardsley is most proud of the medals earned by his own father and grandfather.

They tell the story of his family history — which helped contribute to his own life’s path.

Bardsley grew up in Ontario and joined the militia in St. Catharines. He would go on to attend Royal Military College in Kingston, then over to Queens University and eventually landing in the Royal Canadian Army Service

VICTORIA — It was not all Vimy Ridge and Flanders Fields. Most Canadians experienced the First World War from the homefront. A new website launched by the University of Victoria offers rare glimpses into how life in Victoria was changed during the Great War. Stories, photographs and letters, as well as other documents related to this area during the First World War and a database with more than 6,000 service records of people from Victoria who served in the war, are now readily available to everyone, thanks to the web-based project A City Goes to War (acitygoestowar.ca).

Over the next four years, the project team expects to add 12 to 16 additional micro-history websites and hopes to expand the storytelling to other cities in Canada. A teaching package is also underway, aimed at high schools, to encourage students to explore the history of their own communities.

— Submitted by UVic

Why we remember

The tradition of remembrance is observed by Canadians every year at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.

This tradition dates back to the First World War when the guns fell silent, marking the end of military conflict and the remembrance of those who would never return home. The National Poppy and Remembrance Campaign raise funds for veterans and their families, the new military and others who are disadvantaged.

Corps.

Bardsley earned his biology degree, went into medicine (even joined the naval reserve in the process) and served as a medical officer with the Canadian Forces until the late 1980s.

“Somewhere along the way, I got the bug of collecting medals.”

His collection has waxed and waned over the years, yet there are some medals he will always hold on to — from the Boer War and the two world wars as well as some of the nation’s highest military and civilian honours, such as the Memorial Cross, awarded to the mothers or spouses of soldiers killed in action.

“It’s a way of honouring the service of many different individuals.”

A portion of Bardsley’s medal collection is on display until Nov. 15 at the Sidney Museum on Beacon Avenue.
