Songhees Nation excited about business options Opportunities for investment ‘endless,’ Chief Ron Sam says Daniel Palmer News staff

Economic development will continue to charge forward for the Songhees Nation in 2014, says its chief.

With the completion of a $24-million Wellness Centre this week and the ongoing operation of a shipbuilding training facility on its land, the Songhees are setting their sights on two more potential economic drivers.

The first comes in the form of a high-profile lot at the corner of Admirals and Esquimalt Road. The property, formerly home to a government liquor store, was transferred to the Songhees Nation by the province last August as part of a land treaty agreement.

A request for proposals for the site went out in November, said Songhees Chief Ron Sam. “It’s in a key location … The requests for proposals really opened our eyes on the interest out there,” he said.

Songhees have hired an external consultant to oversee the process and will likely choose a successful bidder in the coming months, Sam added.

The second project involves a possible agreement to purchase a 1.71-hectare parcel of land in Victoria’s Rock Bay, in partnership with Esquimalt Nation.

Last week, the federal government announced the final phase of environmental cleanup on the former coal gasification site, set for completion by January 2016.

More than $50 million has already been spent to remove contaminated soil from the site.

“We haven’t purchased (the property) yet,” Sam said.

“If we do purchase it, that’s where we’d put our economic team together. And (with) the partnership with Esquimalt Nation, the opportunities are endless.”

The Rock Bay property would remain subject to city industrial zoning bylaws after purchase, Sam said.

“You hear a lot about the City of Victoria wanting to focus on theatre, entertainment-type things, but those discussions are a ways away.”

During the minutes spent at the bedside, a professional nurse makes dozens of critical assessments. Any one of them could mean the difference between recovery and something that could result in tragedy.

Take direct patient care away from nurses and vital knowledge affecting the health of patients is lost.

B.C. should be increasing the number of nurses, not replacing them with care aides.

‘I refused to tell a child that they were a failure’ – John Young Veteran Victoria district trustee, high school educator dies at 92 Natalie North Daniel Palmer News staff

From no-fee trustee to renegade principal, John Young embraced the reputation he etched out for himself.

Young, the province’s most dogged defender of universal access to education, died in hospital Jan. 15 in Victoria at 92.

The one-time principal, businessman, Second World War bombardier and advisor to former headhunters in Borneo spent a lifetime advancing legal arguments that were ultimately successful in banning fees for B.C. public school course materials in 2006.

“I took the position that you cannot deny a child an education on that kind of basis,” Young said in a 2011 interview with the News.

Remarkably, Young sat as a Greater Victoria school trustee for nearly 20 years, retiring in 2011 at 90 years old. Even then, he continued to mount a legal challenge Canadian school boards to ensure fees were explicitly outlawed in public primary and secondary schools.

The oldest of a dozen children of Micmac heritage, Young was raised in New Brunswick during the Great Depression.

By 18, he had left home to become a bombardier in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He spent four years patrolling the west coast of Vancouver Island in search of Japanese submarines.

He then studied at the University of British Columbia and later at the University of Paris, earning two degrees and a post-grad diploma from the Sorbonne.

Young proudly earned the title, “The principal who wouldn’t fail students,” at Carihi secondary in Campbell River from 1965 to 1972.

He was eventually ousted for what some considered radical leadership after he developed a “responsibility plan,” which allowed top students to choose whether or not to attend class, and replaced the letter grade “F” with an “incomplete” mark on report cards, among other experimental measures.

“I refused to tell a child that they were a failure,” he said.

“My question was: they failed what? Somebody would have to be pretty brave to answer that question.”

His termination, he said, was made official in the summer of 1972 after he hired an inadequately certified aboriginal teacher to be a mentor to aboriginal students.

In September that year, 200 people arrived at the school

“When he was growing up, things weren’t necessarily available to everybody in the same way,” Joan Young, one of Young’s three children, told the News in a previous interview.

“He’s got a deep, deep commitment to social justice and he sees those two ends being met through education.

It’s very empowering to be educated. Both he and my mom always made me feel like I could do anything I wanted to – I think that’s the thing he instilled the most strongly, and the value of education.”

John Gaiptman, Greater Victoria School District superintendent, revealed in 2011 that Young would

gift between $500 to $1,000 – whatever he could afford – to the school district every Christmas. The money was then given to the most needy students to help purchase a Christmas gift for their parents.

He also donated his annual trustee salary, about $17,000, to various local charities each year.

“John knew what it was like to walk to school hungry,” Gaiptman said at the time.

“He made a commitment early on in life that if he ever had the opportunity to change that he would, and I don’t think he ever let up on his opportunity. There has never been a person more consistent to their philosophies.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Lasting memories shared Peg Orcherton, current chair, School District 61 board of trustees “John Young was a man with the courage of his convictions and the tenacity to follow through. There was no pretence with John; he knew what he believed in. He worked tirelessly throughout his life helping the poor, the deprived and the underprivileged. John was ahead of his time. I learned many lessons from John; to stand up and speak out for your beliefs, stay focused on your goals and live your life with dignity and respect for yourself and for others. John kept his eye on what was best for kids. I feel privileged to have known him.”

Carole James, Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA and former SD61 president “John Young brought his passion, determination, and deep belief in public education for all to everything he did, as an educator and as a school trustee.

We had many a great conversation over our years on the school board together. I will miss him.”

Victoria artist donates $2.5 million to gallery Daniel Palmer News staff

A Victoria-based artist is donating $2.5 million to the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria to spur on the gallery’s renovation.

Anthony Thorn, an accomplished Canadian artist best known for using precious metals to create paintings and carvings, was inspired to donate after reading a Victoria News article on the the gallery’s decision to redevelop its Moss Street facility rather than move downtown.

“This is the biggest contribution to cultural infrastructure in Victoria in many years,” said Jon Tupper, gallery director, adding the cash dona-

tion is the largest ever to the gallery.

The gallery plans to roll out a formal fundraising campaign for the redevelopment in the coming months, said Ruth Wittenberg, board chair. “This gift allows us to move forward with confidence,” she said. “We are extremely grateful to Anthony for his support.”

Thorn’s works are part of corporate and public collections across Canada, including at the AGGV and Greater Victoria Public Library.

Thorn was too unwell to attend Monday’s announcement, but in a release said the donation is also in memory of his late wife, Jacqueline Goldman. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Launching your business can take many forms

Don Descoteau Biz Beat

A recent online scan of the business for sale category in Used Victoria found upwards of 100 ventures up for grabs.

They ranged from food carts and beauty salons to multi-million dollar investment properties.

The types and variations of business one can get into are limited only by one’s imagination.

And there are numerous reasons why businesses are put up for sale, says Brian Wesley, chairman of Business Victoria, a non-profit organization that since the 1980s has taught budding entrepreneurs how to harness their skills and passions – most recently through its Firestarter program.

Anyone looking to take on someone else’s operation needs to check it out with eyes wide open, he says.

“If the business is being sold for health reasons or retirement, those things are very different than one that’s had financial difficulties,” Wesley says. “There is a requirement to do a lot of homework.”

He recommends talking to an attorney about potential

legal or municipal regulations, looking at tax statements, assessments and asking about trends in their customer base – get them to open their books.

One must do their due diligence when starting a business as well, he says.

“Do you have a sustainable passion that will carry you through the good and bad times? Do you have a commitment to access the resources that are necessary for success? Are you prepared to network and access mentoring resources? Training and mentorship are two of the fundamental success factors for small business.”

Susan Stokhof had the germ of an idea in mind when she took the Firestarter program. She determined, however, that the market was already saturated in Victoria for her first concept, a dog accessories boutique.

“I’m a fairly creative person and wanted to do something creative in business,” she says.

Undaunted, the government business analyst kept her eyes and ears open until another idea literally rolled in front of her. A longtime bike commuter with her husband, Laszlo, she was encouraged by him to incorporate cycling into a business venture.

The result was Le Velo, a largely online fashion and accessories business that draws on the cycling lifestyle

“For a while I stopped riding to work because I hated the look,” Stokhof says of not feeling able to dress for the office on her bike. She continued her research and found ways to creatively craft her product line, along with writing a blog with tips on staying stylish after cycling.

“I do think there’s something about following your passion,” she says of her experience to date. “It can turn into something you never thought it would.”

Wesley doesn’t mince words when it comes to the city’s economy – not to mention that of B.C. and Canada. “The growth in our economy is directly related to the growth of small businesses. Large companies have

shed an incredible number of employees.

If it wasn’t for small business, the unemployment rate would be far higher.”

OUR VIEW

The good fight for education

In the court of public opinion and at the board of education table, John Young was a polarizing figure. Agree with his positions or not, he didn’t waver in his convictions and worked tirelessly to give all kids an equal shot at a good education.

Young died last week at age 92 after spending decades fighting for a truly equitable public school system, unlike the hybrid system we have now where some students can enter sports, music or arts academies by paying hefty fees, and where parents routinely pay for school supplies at the beginning of the year.

Twice in his 20-year trustee career with the Greater Victoria School District Young threw extracurricular activities and district budgets into turmoil.

Elected in 1996, he shocked fellow trustees by telling students directly not to pay course fees.

He went on to successfully sue his own district, SD61 to ban fees and honour existing education legislation (the minister of education overruled that ruling).

In 2006, the B.C. Supreme Court again ruled in Young’s favour and declared that schools can’t charge fees for activities done during school hours or for courses leading to graduation.

The Ministry of Education amended the School Act to exempt specialty academies and music programs.

It wasn’t an ideal outcome for Young, but he forced the province to better regulate fees charged by schools, but his crusade wasn’t popular in all circles.

Until exempted in legislation, parents of kids in sports and arts academies feared such programs would be shut down. The ministry wasn’t prepared to fund expensive programs like hockey academies, and at times Young seemed that he’d rather have an even playing field, no matter what the cost to educational opportunities to those who could afford it.

Even this newspaper, in an opinion piece five years ago, wrote he was going too far and overstated the problem of fees in school.

But that is the role of the maverick and idealist. He fought for what is right and just, and left in his wake a better public education system.

Young could have visited North Dakota, where the second shale oil train explosion luckily didn’t kill anyone. It seems there will be no remake of Young’s classic Kent State lament dedicated to 47 Dead in Old Quebec. That’s American oil, so no protests.

Chief Adam was frank in an interview on CTV about using the “Honour the Treaties” tour to strengthen his legal position.

Young’s concert tour put $75,000 in his fund to pay lawyers. Oil isn’t the only thing being extracted here.

By the end of the tour Sunday, Young and Adam conceded they weren’t trying to shut the Athabasca oilsands down, just start a dialogue.

Thanks to uncritical media coverage, there will no doubt be discussions at dinner tables and in classrooms all over the world about the terrible Alberta tar sands and the cancer they don’t actually cause.

LETTERS Earned wealth definition a matter of perspective Re: Harper rapped for wrong reasons (B.C. Views, Jan. 15) When Tom Fletcher again slams “anarchist kooks” protesting for climate justice or social justice, the column is pretty much as expected and doesn’t warrant comment. But Mr. Fletcher takes matters a step further when climate or social justice are seen to require “confiscation of earned wealth.”

We should pause to think about the idea of earned wealth. Is it the stuff that’s left over on a pay stub after the “confiscators” remove taxes and other deductions? Is it my earnings when stocks triple in value? Maybe it’s my earnings if I hit the lotto jackpot? What does it mean to earn?

Many of us live pretty well, even with modest incomes. That reflects, in part, the social wealth previous generations have built up. It enables me to “earn” a comfortable life. If I deny the “confiscators” a share of that wealth to help deal with climate, am I robbing future generations of their right to share in the wealth that was provided (not earned) for me?

We have the idea of earned wealth when really we share in wealth created by generations before us. In this light, justice for generations to follow is not confiscation.

Likewise with social justice. Others who may work just as hard as me and be just as smart as me can receive

very much less earned wealth for their efforts. How was it decided I should earn more? It can be called the invisible hand of markets, but really it’s just a rigged system where bastions of great wealth control politics.

Recognizing that some of our “earned” wealth should be directed to social justice is not “confiscation.”

All of us, the very wealthy and not-so-wealthy, would be better off if we learned to speak of fair wealth instead of earned wealth.

Greg Holloway Saanich

Nursing care model prompts questions (Nursing series, News, Jan. 15) On paper, persons with less education can do the “tasks” of bathing, distributing medications, etc. Family caregivers are taught specific tasks to help their loved one, but they rely on professionals for help with assessment.

But when RNs perform a task such as bathing, they also assess for subtle changes in a patient’s condition.

This is essential in acute care with short patient stays and complex medical conditions.

Does this new model mean an increase in the number of patients the RN is responsible for? What is the ratio of RNs to care aides? Is this a version of the long-term care model modified for acute care?

Throughout my nursing career I have worked on

various teams. The issue is working in acute care and having to rely on teammates who have limited education, lack assessment skills and are thus task-oriented.

In the early 1980s, some U.S. hospitals implemented a patient-care model for acute care which trained care aides to perform such specific tasks as changing IV bags and other duties deemed unnecessary to be done by registered nurses. There were so many critical incidents and lawsuits during that period that most dropped the care model. Has Island Health officials researched potential outcomes?

I would like to know if the “shortage of nurses” and increase in overtime are a result of the current trend to cut full-time RN positions? I know nurses here, in Ontario and New Brunswick want fulltime work but are forced to work on-call in two or three different places to make ends meet. I look forward to Island Health providing the public answers to these questions.

is causing the ‘mysterious mass starfish deaths along the Pacific coastline’ may be interesting, but it is simply one scientist’s opinion.

According to staff writers Peter Rusland and Kyle Wells, ‘Romagosa doubted the starfish crisis was sparked

by Pacific radiation from the meltdown of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant.’

I am not scientific but I am a trained historian (BA, University of San Francisco), and it seems highly unlikely that this alarming ‘starfish wasting syndrome’ is not being caused by a toxic brew of Fukushima radiation and the constant aerial chem spraying of aluminum, barium and strontium nanoparticulates – called ‘geo-engineering’ or ‘solar radiation management’ producing global dimming – which has been easily visible from our Rockland balcony for a number of years.

I look forward to seeing how reporters Rusland and Wells follow this very important story in the coming months, and hope that government scientists in all jurisdictions will be held accountable by their diligence.

victoria’s ultimate get out guide

From Kid

in the Hall

to

Hollywood dad

NATALIe NORTH

arts@mondaymag.com

S

omewhere in the Hollywood hills, a middle age dad discusses the viral Internet video “What Does the Fox Say” with his seven and nine-year-old kids. His son is enthralled with the carnivorous dance piece, while his daughter is more interested in deconstructing its comic appeal – a conversation which amuses their comedian father.

This is a snapshot in the life of Bruce McCulloch – comic, writer, actor, director, Kid in the Hall and creator of Young Drunk Punk, a solo performance exploring his often funny, and always true, journey from being an angry young punk in Alberta, to an L.A.-based husband and father relatively late in life.

“A punk isn’t a literal punk,” says McCulloch, on the phone from his home. “A punk is a questioning spirit, which is all of us, be we old or young. ‘Where do I fit in?’ has never changed. All the people I know, unsuccessful or very successful, either personally or professionall,y are all the same.”

Via standup, storytelling and live music from Odds’ Craig Northey, Young Drunk Punk draws on tales from McCulloch’s as-yet unreleased book by the same name as he grapples with those bigger questions. The project comes at a time when McCulloch – despite having been behind a long list of comic television and big screen writing and directing successes – felt the weight of several failed network pilots and was hungry for the departure.

“Part of the impulse to do this show, is that I want to connect with people and have my ideas connect,” he says.

McCulloch performed an earlier version of the show

with Brian Connelly last winter and more recently played to select L.A. audiences with Northey, who he calls on stage proof of the punk themes, having lived through similar experiences in the 1980s, before the two began

approved

working together in the early ‘90s.

“It’s a lot to take on, but it’s more rewarding than anything else you could do. Of course, I’m obsessive. ... I really want it to go well, but I’m not like I was when I was a young man. I want to have an honest experience.”

Part of that honest experience is in accepting what the young punk version of McCulloch would think of the man he has become.

He would be partially proud and partially ashamed, McCulloch says.

“It’s more about ‘Am I following my artistic spirit?’ which I think I am, mostly. I marvel at my former self and I’m bemused by my current self. As you get older, hopefully, you think more about the world than you do about yourself, which is where I would hope that I am.”

McCulloch, like his collaborator Northey, doesn’t place rigid expectations on his next endeavour. He does, however, foresee a change in locale. After 11 years in California, McCulloch hopes to bring his family home to Canada.

It’s natural for the Canadians to wander back at a certain point, he says, before confessing his daughter may possess the gene that will inevitably drive her on teenaged jaunts to the Viper Room.

Though able to joke with and about his children, the legendary comic hopes they choose a different path for themselves.

“It’s hard. Truly, almost all comedians come from a place of damage. All the ones I know have weird upbringings. Hopefully, I’m furnishing them with one where they don’t need to be comedians.”

McCulloch plays UVic at 8pm Jan. 24. Tickets, $28/35, at tickets.uvic.ca.

A documentary initiative born in Victoria has seen a boost from the Canada Media Fund and spread across the country.

A 2013 cross-country film pilgrimage by Open Cinema founder Mandy Leith led the documentary screening and discussion series

Connecting the Docs.

The hybrid cinema series will see films and the ensuing discussions shared in cities across the country throughout the spring, beginning on Jan. 29 with Millefiore Clarke’s Island Green.

The film screens here (at 7pm at the Victoria Event Centre, 1415 Broad) and in Charlottetown, PEI. A discussion, both in-person and online, on the idea of an entire island going organic, follows.

The series is set to continue March 26 with My Prairie Home in Calgary and Victoria and in April (date TBA) with Arctic Defender. The latter screens in Halifax, Inuvik and Victoria.

The next issue of Monday Magazine is anchored by a feature interview with one of Canada’s most critically acclaimed directors, Atom Egoyan.

Egoyan, a Cairo-born, Victoria-bred writer/director/ producer, has been earning the respect of film critics and fans internationally since his breakout feature, 1994’s Exotica.

But before the Academy Award nominations (The Sweet Hereafter, 1997) and the Hollywood A-lister casts (Devil’s Knot to screen at Victoria Film Festival next month), he was one of our promising young artists. Egoyan delves into his early days in Victoria: carving narratives from his days at Mount Douglas secondary, shooting in Super 8 and learning how to take criticism in the endless pursuit of cinematic excellence.

Investment advisor fined Case stretches over four years A fine of $100,000 has been levied by a B.C. Securities Commission panel against a Victoria financial advisor ruled to have given inappropriate investment advice to clients.

Carolann Steinhoff was also ordered to pay costs of $20,000 and relinquish $6,813 in commissions.

The decision, released last week, is the latest ruling in a case initiated in 2010 by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada.

The IIROC was investigating

advice given and actions taken

by Steinhoff in 2008 on behalf of a couple who invested $125,000 with her in the short term. The money, proceeds of a home sale, was to pay for their next home.

They ultimately lost 56 per cent of their investment in the economic downturn and fell $65,000 short of what they needed.

In July 2012, an IIROC panel ruled that Steinhoff would receive a one-year suspension in addition to the $126,813 in financial penalties for making recommendations to the couple that were “not suitable for their investment objectives.”

She applied for a review to the B.C. Securities Commission,

which upheld the IIROC liability ruling.

A decision on penalty was deferred pending submissions from Steinhoff until last month.

No suspension was recommended last week by the panel, which stated in its decision, “the penalty we are imposing is appropriate in the circumstances and will adequately deter Steinhoff and other registrants from failing to meet suitability requirements.”

Ronald Pelletier, Steinhoff’s lawyer at last month’s hearing, said no decision has been made as to whether his client will appeal the latest ruling. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Funeral home fined by consumer agency A Victoria-based funeral services provider has been fined $5,000 for failing to provide cancellation rights to customers.

CARE Funeral Services, which has offices in Victoria and Sidney, was inspected by Consumer Protection B.C. representatives in May 2013.

The inspection revealed the company’s pre-need contracts – which cover advance funeral arrangements – didn’t provide customers with adequate can-

cellation policy rights, said Manjit Bains, vice-president of corporate relations at Consumer Protection B.C. Two follow-up inspections uncovered two individual contracts still absent of a cancellation policy, a violation that carries a $2,500 fine for each omission, she said.

“We take non-compliance with our orders very seriously,” Bains said. “The requirement for all funeral service providers to

clearly communicate a consumer’s cancellation rights in a preneed contract exists to protect consumers at a time when they may be making difficult end of life decisions.”

Consumer Protection B.C. maintains a website that lays out consumer rights for funeral services at funeralrightsbc.ca.

CARE Funeral Services did not return calls for comment by the News’ deadline. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Vision Matters Dr. Rachel Rushforth

Healthy Eyes.

Doctor Delivered.

Eyes at School We all know that a student should be able to read what the teacher writes on the board, but there is more to good vision than this. Vision skills including depth perception, eye co-ordination and even color vision can have an effect on a child’s performance at school. While parents and teachers recognize the importance of vision in the development and well being of children, there are youngsters who fall behind at school because of undetected vision problems.

Today, some school districts perform vision screening for their students. These valuable screenings do catch many vision problems that result in a decrease in visual acuity. However, some vision problems may slip through the cracks and these screenings should not be confused with a thorough vision examination by a Doctor of Optometry.

Teachers are often the first people to pick up a vision problem at school. An observant parent is also in an excellent position to pick up on any symptoms of Dr. Neil Paterson vision problems in a young child.

Indoor finesse University of Victoria Vikes player Rosie Beale keeps her eye on the ball as she dribbles past Wildcats Black player Chelsea Chernoff during early round play at the UVic Indoor Field Hockey Tournament on the hardwood. The Vikes won the tournament Sunday at the Ian Stewart Complex, defeating the Wildcats White team 4-2 on penalty strokes after the teams

Grizzlies look to gain ground Overall BCHL race tight, with several teams near the top It’s been a fairly successful January for the B.C. Hockey League’s Victoria Grizzlies.

Regardless of the team’s impressive 4-2 record this month – which has kept them in the hunt for top spot in the BCHL standings – the Grizz would like at least one of those games back.

The Powell River Kings got the better of the Victoria squad on Saturday at Bear Mountain Arena, beating the Grizz 5-2 despite being outshot 38-28.

The victory allowed the Kings (29-10-2-2) to leapfrog over rival Victoria (28-11-3-2) by one point for first place in the Island Division and in the overall standings.

Langley’s 5-4 overtime loss to Surrey on Sunday gave the Rivermen a single point and moved them one up on the Grizzlies, who have two games in hand on Langley.

Victoria hosts the alwaystough West Kelowna Warriors (26-12-2-2) in a 7:15 p.m. start at

Bear Mountain this Friday, then hosts Langley (28-12-1-5) in a matinee game at 2 p.m. Sunday.

In league scoring, Grizzlies forward Myles Fitzgerald sits third overall with 19 goals and 59 points. Teammate and brother Gerry is sixth with a team-leading 27 goals and 55 points, while Jesse Schwartz is next on the team with 15 goals and 46 points.

The Grizzlies’ Alec Dillon, with an 18-4-2 record, sits third in wins among BCHL goalies.

IN BRIEF

After soundly beating the Douglas College Royals 3-0 in Friday night PacWest college play, the Camosun Chargers women had a tougher time in Saturday’s match at PISE. The Chargers won the first two games, 25-21, 25-22, then dropped the next two 23-25, 25-27. A solid 15-8 win in the deciding game salted away the match win for the home side, which improved to 11-7 (third place) on the season heading into this weekend’s matches against last place College of the Rockies (1-15) Avalanche in Cranbrook.

I want to let you know I am upset the Conservative government approved Canada Post’s plan to end door-to-door mail delivery and drastically increase stamp prices.

This decision will have a serious impact on me, my family, friends and community. It will also hurt people with disabilities and seniors.

I believe Canada Post could preserve public postal service and improve its financial position by expanding parcel delivery and adding lucrative banking and financial services.

I value my public postal service. Tell Canada Post to scrap their plan. Please save Canada Post.

SPORTS NEWS Chargers women sweep volleyball weekend

Dear member of Parliament:

Sincerely, The Chargers volleyball men, who also head to Cranbrook this weekend, split their matches with Douglas College, winning 3-1 Friday and losing 3-0 on Saturday.

Camosun sits at 9-9 overall, tied for third with Capilano University Blues (9-7).

Camosun women tame hoops opponents

A 62-52 victory over Quest University Kermodes in Squamish on Saturday capped a winning weekend for the Chargers women in PacWest basketball play.

The win followed a 73-53 decision over host Capilano

Blues the night before. The victories pushed the Chargers’ record to 9-3, good for second spot heading into this weekend’s home games against Langara Falcons on Friday and Douglas College Royals the next night.

The Chargers men (3-9, sixth place) hope to rebound from a pair of losses, 107-91 to Quest and 70-62 to Capilano, when they take on the first-place Falcons (11-1) and fifth-place Royals (5-7) on home court.

Game times are 6 p.m. (women) and 8 p.m. (men) Friday, and 1 (women) and 3 p.m. (men) Saturday at PISE on the Camosun’s Interurban campus. sports@vicnews.com
