Thrifty Foods will anchor Belmont site Future of Westshore Skatepark hinges on SD62 lease arrangement Kyle Wells News staff

A purse for every occasion Vendor Sharon Martin of View Royal, known in some circles as the Purse Lady, talks to potential customer Kathleen Fast of Saanich about one of the many handbags she has for sale at her stall at the first Sunday swap meet of the season at Western Speedway last weekend. The sales run every weekend from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., weather permitting.

With sale of the Belmont secondary land finalized, details are now being sorted out surrounding the Westshore Skatepark, which sits on the property. Sobeys, which owns and operates Thrifty Foods in B.C., bought the 21 acres from the Sooke School District for $23.25 million and has had a rezoning application approved by the City of Langford to allow for development on the site, which will include a Thrifty’s store. “There is a high-level plan of mixed use, residential/ retail development,” said Thrifty Foods spokesperson Ralf Mundel. The land will be leased

back to SD62 for the next 24 to 30 months, until the new Belmont school is complete. The immediate future of the skatepark, which also sits on the property, is still being sorted out by operator West Shore Parks and Recreation and the school district. The lease to use the property has run out and the skate park will be torn out if no new deal is reached. “We’re waiting to hear back from the school district on that,” said West Shore Parks and Recreation Society chair Rob Martin. “We don’t have a lease, but we haven’t had to officially take the park off either.” PleAse see: Belmont school’s days are numbered, Page A5
