Family service provider excited about upcoming move New building will allow for more privacy in counselling sessions Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

When they build it, youth will come. ‘It’ is a new purpose-built 14,000-square-foot building, the

new home for the Pacific Centre Family Services Association.

Executive director Mitzi Dean said the beneficiaries won’t just be the people working there, but those who are coming there to access their services.

“I have a vision of the area being a wellness sanctuary of regional significance for the community,” Dean said. “It is desperately needed because (the West Shore) is growing so fast and our families need good quality services that are affordable and accessible.”

The association parlayed the sale of the Havenwood estate on Heatherbell Road (currently housing the Coast Collective Arts Centre) seven years ago into the purchase of the two-acre property on the Colwood side of Goldstream Avenue, directly behind their current space on 345 Wale Rd. The project will include a connector for the Galloping Goose Trail, which runs alongside the property line between the two roads. Dean said they expect to break ground in 2016, move in

2017 and celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2018.

“It will really improve our quality of service, maintaining consistency of available counselling space. Many times (counsellors) have to share space,” she said. “(Soon) we can tailor choice and preference and constancy and stability for the people we serve. It will be best designed to be able to fulfil their function (instead of) working through logistics that (the current building) isn’t ideally suited for.”

The approximately 4,500-squarefoot space the association operates out of in the West Shore Child, Youth and Family Centre will continue to house some of its programming, even after it occupies the 7,500-square-foot second floor of the new building.

The rest of the new space will be rented out to partners whose missions align with theirs, Dean said.

CANADA

VOTES!

Refugee situation, immigration policy hot button issues CowichanMalahat-Langford candidates weigh in on an international crisis Sarah Simpson Black Press

Immigration and refugees – perhaps not top-of-mind issues for many Canadians when the election was called on Aug. 2.

But the recent crisis overseas has pushed those issues into the media spotlight, particularly in light of the horrific images of drowned toddler Aylan Kurdi face down on a Turkish beach, which have struck a chord with many in this country.

All four Cowichan-MalahatLangford federal candidates believe it’s time to act on what’s been described over and over as a heartbreaking and tragic situation.

Liberal candidate Maria Manna said Canada has a long history of welcoming immigrants.

“I’m first-generation Canadian.

My parents are immigrants from Italy,” she said. “We are this beautiful melting pot of wonderful cultures.”

The Liberal Party wants to invest at least an additional $100 million this fiscal year to increase refugee processing, as well as sponsorship and settlement services capacity in Canada.

The party has also promised to provide an immediate $100 million contribution to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to support critical relief activities in Syria and the surrounding area.

“Justin Trudeau has agreed to bringing in 25,000 refugees within the next four years,” Manna said.

“We also agree that they need to go through a proper screening process. It’s not just opening up the floodgates.”

She added that Trudeau wanted to put politics aside and work together as Canadians to

come up with a solution.

“He extended to Mr. Harper, Mr. Mulcair and Ms. May to come together in collaboration to discuss the best course of action for Canada moving forward and develop a concrete, crosspartisan plan for the weeks and months ahead, but we haven’t heard anything,” she said.

Conservative candidate Martin Barker said tens of millions of people are affected by the crisis.

“It is truly a tragedy and our hearts go out to all of those touched by this heartbreaking situation,” he said.

But, he noted, Canada has one of the most generous immigration and refugee systems in the world, admitting more people, per capita, than any other, he said.

“During the lifetime of the past government we have had 2.5 million new arrivals in Canada,” Barker said. “For many there are a number of reasons they come to Canada such as family reunification, for humanitarian and compassionate grounds and of course refugee situations. We have accepted tens of thousands of refugees from the Middle East and we will accept more. That being said, refugee policy alone will not solve the problem.”

He said Canadians should be proud of the foreign aid (food, water, relief items and education

access) contributed to the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East.

Green Party candidate Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi said leader Elizabeth May and their party, too, have a strong humanitarian focus, but more needs to be done – and right now.

“We have a proud history of humanitarians and striving for diplomacy and being a country of peacekeepers, so that’s why I support a strong military, not for war, but for cases like this, humanitarian efforts,” she said.

“It’s something that we’re lagging behind in our country and we require leadership. We’re very supportive, for sure, to deal with this immediately.”

Hunt-Jinnouchi called the current efforts “shameful.”

“I think we only need to put ourselves in the positions of the people … they’re not leaving their countries because they want to leave their countries, they’re leaving because of air strikes and war,” she said. “The Green Party would like to accept 40,000 Syrian refugees over the next five years. We have a strong history of welcoming immigrants and celebrating diversity and that needs to be upheld. That’s definitely a role that the Green Party will continue to advocate for.”

Having spent seven years for Cowichan-Malahat-Langford working in NDP MP Jean Critic and Status of Women Crowder’s office, New Democrat electfran@greenparty.ca Contact Alistair candidate MacGregor saw Toll Free bureaucracy at 1.855.653.0236 work.

“I was actually personally and intimately involved in a few private sponsorships of refugees and I know how heart-wrenching by the Official Agent for Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi theseAuthorized sponsorships are,” he said.

“The bureaucracy you have to go through is just a nightmare when you’re dealing with these types of situations, so I am personally motivated to make the system better just from what I’ve experienced.”

MacGregor said the NDP’s refugee and immigration plan begins even before the election.

“We have proposed and offered to work with the sitting government on this. We want to

get 10,000 government-sponsored refugees out of harm’s way by the end of this year,” he said.

In the longer term, he said, the NDP would like to see all the private sponsorships be fasttracked with no caps on them and bring as many people as possible to Canada.

“I think we wanted to set targets of about 9,000 per year over the coming years,” he said.

He said Canada’s birth rate isn’t keeping up with future job demands and many Syrian refugees in particular are well educated and could bring needed skill-sets with them to Canada.

“I think that with a bit of assistance from our government, they could integrate into our society well,” he said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Sexual exploitation of teenagers topic for Thursday symposium Langford resident leading charge to educate families Arnold Lim

Bill McElroy is helping organize a symposium, Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation, to be held tomorrow (Sept. 24) at Metropolitan United Church in Victoria.

News Gazette staff

Bill McElroy says yes, it can happen to your family.

The chair for the Capital Region Action Team for Sexually Exploited Youth said the issue of human trafficking is not just a third world or big city problem. It is happening all over Canada, even in communities on the South Island, he said – we just might not be seeing it.

“As things progress, the problems get more serious because of the use of the Internet,” the Langford resident said.

“Anybody and any family is vulnerable.”

Human trafficking is the second-largest income-earner for organized crime after the sale of drugs, McElroy said. Even in Greater Victoria, he added, many police departments have two to three files on children in the sex trades or gangs using boys and girls for trafficking.

The victims come from various socio-economic backgrounds.

McElroy, who has worked with sexually exploited children for more than 15 years, knows of one girl whose parents were a lawyer and an accountant. Many are of First Nations descent, some of whom are sent to other cities where they don’t have the same family connections. Many are recruited through chat sites and social media.

“People can friend anyone on

Don Descoteau/ News Gazette staff

Facebook and there are actually handbooks for child predators on how to meet up with kids on the Internet,” McElroy said.

“Some invite (youth) to send a naked photo to them as a joke and kids do it and they use it as blackmail.”

In order to help raise awareness on the issue, a free Human Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation Symposium has been organized for tomorrow (Sept. 24) to educate and inform the public.

Information will be presented on how to help prevent these types of issues in your family, and who to call if you want to help yourself or someone you know that may need help.

McElroy quotes national statistics that put the average age of children recruited into the “industry” at 13 or 14.

An FBI estimate in the U.S. states that the average lifespan

for girls once they have fallen into the sex trade or human trafficking is approximately seven years.

“Teenagers are not the most popular of our population, people like cute kids and may respect the seniors, but pierced, swearing, smoking teenagers, (many) don’t like them,” he said.

“But someone has to stick up for them, because they are good people and might just be in a different stage of their life.”

Speakers lined up for the event represent the Pacific Centre Family Services Association, Children of the Street Society, Victoria Boys and Girls Club and many others.

The free symposium takes place at the Metropolitan United Church hall, 932 Balmoral Rd. in Victoria, between 9:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Thursday. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Partnerships cultivated at RRU Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Royal Roads University, becoming known worldwide for its flexible online programs in business management and others, recently welcomed nearly 100 of its graduated students from China as part of its Global Alumni Weekend. Most had completed their studies online, with the help of a satellite campus of RRU, and many were making their first trip to the Colwood campus.

Alumni weekend activities included an Asia Pacific Trade Panel, featuring Teresa Wat, B.C. Minister of International Trade; Fan Gang, Chinese scholar and director of that country’s National Economic Research Institute; Jock Finlayson, executive vice-president and chief policy office of the Business Council of British Columbia, and Jimmy Mitchell, vice-president for business development with the AdvantageBC International Business Centre.

Local alumni attending that session, as well as a business-tobusiness workshop in the afternoon, appreciated hearing about international trade strategies and speaking with offshore RRU grads about business opportunities in Asia.

“It was a very valuable opportunity for the domestic and overseas alumni to interact and to meet and spend some time together to celebrate our commonalities,” said MBA graduate Clara Yan, now a financial advisor with Sun Life in Victoria.

As someone who keeps track of the foreign investment markets for her clients, she appreciated getting more information on the broad topic of business

City of Colwood Public Notice

The Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre, located at 1767 Island Highway, is subject to an Application for Amendment to a Liquor Primary License and Food Primary License issued by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch. The Licensee is the West Shore Parks and Recreation Society. The amendment application applies to the licensing of areas located at the Fieldhouse, Galleon Room, the Seniors Hall, Curling Lounge and Glencolme Room.

An architect’s rough drawing shows the site layout of the new Pacific Centre Family Services Association building on Goldstream Avenue.

The proposed amendment application will affect the existing Food Primary License by removing from the food primary license the Auditorium at the Seniors Hall, the upper level of the Fieldhouse, the Fieldhouse Patio, and the Galleon Room (total occupant load 621 persons).

The proposed amendment application will affect the Liquor Primary License by: • adding to the liquor primary license the occupant loads that were removed from the Food Primary License; • adding a new lounge and games area to the main level of the Seniors Hall; • adding an outdoor patio area to the lower level of the fieldhouse; • adding an outdoor ‘event only not daily use’ area abutting the Fieldhouse parking lot; and • removing the Galleon Room from the license as this space is no longer needed as a licensed area for food or liquor service.

Colwood Transportation Master Plan OPEN HOUSE

The Food Primary License, with a current total capacity of 621 persons, will be cancelled if the proposed liquor primary areas are approved. The current total Liquor Primary License occupant load of 194 persons will increase up to 1,356 for ‘daily use’ areas, and the proposed liquor primary occupant load for the new outdoor ‘event only not daily use’ area is 1,000 persons.

Pacific Centre Family Services Association

Proximity to Ministry a barrier for some Continued from Page A1

She hopes to see wellness advocates including massage therapists, midwives, general practitioners and others take advantage of the space. The association’s part of the building will include 21 counselling rooms, two group rooms and five administrator offices, and it will no longer share a space with the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

“We strongly believe in choice of access for families,” Dean said. “We have had it reported that having the Ministry in the building adds to the barrier to access our services. To increase choice to accessible services in different places and different design, in our mind, increases quality, so that is important.”

growth, housing activity, auto sales and employment gains this strong, during any previous recession,” says Cooper.

Anyone who says Canada is in a recession isn’t an economist – says leading economist Ottawa, ON – Dr. Sherry Cooper, the chief economist for Dominion Lending Centres and long-time trusted economic commentator across North America, offered some strong opinion to recent reports Canada

is in an economic recession.

“Everyone thinks it’s a recession except for economists! Real recessions see widespread contraction, which we simply aren’t seeing across the country.

We have never seen consumption

Seen as one of the most influential economists in Canada for several decades, Cooper says a provincial sectoral decline is a far cry from a true national recession. “Really what drove the numbers down were the difficulties in the oil patch. For Alberta there is a recession but for Canada as a whole, no. When oil prices were high, Alberta was booming and the Canadian dollar was strong. That hurt exports from the manufacturing sectors in Ontario and Quebec.”

Overall, Cooper remains bullish on the current state of the Canadian economy, “I think we are going to see a significant rebound . . . roughly to 2 1/2 per cent growth for the second half of this year and into next year.”

This is a far cry from recent reports of growth forecasts of a much more conservative 1.1 percent growth for the coming year by a survey of 16 economists

Grade 8 student Pascale Grenier, 13, is a graduate of Pacific Centre’s Skookum Cafe program, which offers skills and work experience for youth looking to make a move into the job market. She said her first-hand experience helped her understand the relevance of the programming in the community, both from the benefit it had on her life and those who took the class alongside her.

“I definitely think it’s good for the community. It’s helped a lot of people and educated a lot of youth,” she said. “There will be more room for more people to take more programs and have more space … I think it’s definitely a positive to build a new space … It was a little bit tight.”

Dean agreed that the organization’s space is cramped. And

conducted by Census Economics.

But Cooper is basing her forecast on a number of factors, including the rebounding US economy, with US growth revised up to 3.7 percent in the second quarter.

“It’s positive for Canada,” says Cooper. “We’ve seen that in the most recent export numbers . . . most of that trade is with US. In addition, despite the five-months of declining GDP this year, Canada’s job growth has been impressive. The 54,400 jump in August brought this year’s increase in full-time jobs to an impressive 174,000. Canadian consumers are buying big-ticket items, with home sales strong yet again last month (outside of Alberta), boosting mortgage activity, and auto sales showing big gains. Housing is likely to slow only modestly in the next year as the Bank of Canada keeps short-term interest rates at record lows and longer-term yields edge only modestly higher.”

When it comes to the effect of the federal election, Cooper points

with one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada expanding at the rate it is now, taking a proactive approach will help mitigate future challenges down the road, she added. Staff are currently going through the extensive process of design and securing an architect. Finding the right engineering company is the next step, Dean said, but she looks forward to hearing feedback from the community as well.

“We welcome input and any questions that there are at any level. This is a great opportunity for lots of different people to get involved in different ways. It is not often you have a community project where people can make a contribution and have a lasting legacy.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

out any change in government creates a market selloff to a certain degree, but says talk of balanced budgets and prudent fiscal policy currently being heard by all three main federal parties will likely stabilize the markets quickly.

Dr. Sherry Cooper “I think we are going to see up to 2 1/2 per cent growth into next year.”

OUR VIEW

Election polling a numbers game Every politician and would-be MP or MLA knows, or at least they should, that polling numbers don’t translate into seats.

Polling figures from Nanos Research released this week show the governing Conservatives, Opposition NDP and the Liberals in a virtual dead heat among decided voters, with support ranging between 29 and 31 per cent. But even if that was the last poll conducted before election day, it wouldn’t necessarily mean Parliament would split exactly down those lines.

There is always a huge glut of people who are undecided up until the late stages of a campaign – some estimates put it as high as 25 per cent. In a close election race, the number of people who make up their mind just before heading to the polling station is likely far more than politicians or parties would care to see.

It would be interesting to know how many people use polling figures to help them cast their vote. Our guess would be very few.

Public media companies have for years commissioned research firms to give them the latest figures, which often get trotted out on front pages and websites as the top story for that day. We believe in the credibility and veracity of such polls, given their size and the commitment to accuracy made by the major media – CTV and The Globe and Mail hired Nanos for the above poll.

Unfortunately, releasing polling data has become a public relations ploy, especially with all the parties commissioning their own polls at various times. One firm hired by the NDP came back with numbers last week that said Liberal leader Justin Trudeau was trailing an opponent by 11 points in his own riding. A poll conducted for a national media company with a far larger sample size and different methodology found Trudeau to actually be leading by five points.

Political parties hire pollsters to come up with numbers they feel will help them. Without a doubt, if the numbers don’t flatter them, they don’t publicize them. While stats heads might find the pre-election numbers interesting, the only ones that count are on election day.

So what do we take from this? Voters can do their homework on local candidates and leave the polls for the parties to play around with.

Ottawa pundits say this from frightening levels in the 1990s “surprise surplus” was engineered before the Chrétien government with intentionally pessimistic budget estimates, so Prime Minister finally balanced the budget.

(Fun fact: then-finance minister Stephen Harper would get a boost Paul Martin not only cut transfers right about now. to provinces, unlike the current Liberal leader Justin Trudeau

government, he inflicted the largestever cuts to the CBC. Harper’s CBC cuts were part of government-wide reductions, again due to that 2009 crisis.)

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised to balance the budget every year of his mandate, should he form Canada’s first-ever socialist government. He will spend the rest of the campaign trying to reconcile this promise with the grandiose spending plans he has piled up.

Meanwhile in B.C., Finance Minister Mike de Jong may have benefited from Harper’s lowball budget. In his first quarter update last week, de Jong reported that his February budget forecast is on track, with a $277 million surplus.

This is despite a $300 million bill for forest firefighting, thanks to personal and corporate income tax revenue expected to be $374 million higher than budgeted.

B.C. bases its tax revenue figures on federal estimates, and the ones they got early this year were clearly low.

Understated or not, this is a nice problem to have. At the current pace, De Jong says, B.C. will pay off its accumulated operating debt by 2020.

The last time the province was free of operating debt was 1982. The big debt peak came during the NDP 1990s, with another spike from 2009 to 2013 under the B.C. Liberals.

More tips for being prepared Re: Are you prepared for a disaster? (Our View, Sept. 16) Firstly, I wish to compliment the author on having done their homework with respect to the sobering facts and future realities related to natural disasters. How appropriate; this column appeared one day before the major earthquake in Chile.

A small amount of preparation can be beneficial to the well-being of your family when disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires, floods, power outages and even blizzards occur (were you here for the blizzard of 1996?).

Knowing what risks are in your area, making a household emergency plan, putting together a grab-and-go kit for everyone in the family, and creating an emergency home kit that will sustain your household for at least a week, will go a long way to helping your family survive without having to depend on overburdened emergency services or even neighbours.

Langford Emergency Support Services is a group of local resident volunteers who work in conjunction with Langford Fire/Rescue. ESS not only responds when disasters occur, by establishing reception centres for evacuees to report to, but you can also find us at the Goldstream Farmers Market most Saturdays, handing out free information on emergency preparedness.

In an effort to get more Langford residents prepared, ESS is also available to conduct free presentations.

For more information on emergency preparedness, go to GetPrepared.ca or call Langford Emergency Support Services at 250-857-0118.

Prepare today, survive tomorrow.

Ken Levert, public information officer Langford ESS

Langford needs to consider consolidating garbage pickup The root cause of overflowing garbage in Langford is privatized garbage pick up.

We need to consolidate our garbage pickup, saving us all money. This would do a number of things. Besides keeping people from stuffing household trash into these bins, which costs the city more dollars, it may even save the average household money.

On our street in the Happy Valley area, we have three different companies pick up household trash, on different days, at different prices, and none are cheap. This also adds to greenhouse gases, as three different trucks “cherry pick” trash from only their customers. This is not an efficient use of resources.

If the city put out a tender for one single company to pick up all the trash, we would have zero duplication of services and also have the companies bid for the whole city, or parts thereof for this service. This bid process would ensure we get the best bang for our buck. This could also be applied to the kitchen waste pickup also.

Langford is the first city I have lived in where it is a “free for all” when it comes to garbage pick up, versus a city service included in taxes. I think the time is now to get smarter on how this is done.

The end result would be no more household trash in public garbage bins and a more efficient application of services. I am sure this is worth a look.

of the Week

Langford resident Kim McKenzie snapped this shot of the Fisgard Lighthouse from the view point at Fort Rodd Hill.

“It’s always a pleasure to visit there, the view and history are amazing,” McKenzie said.

She was at the national historic sites that day with her boys for a sea cadet ceremonial review but still managed to capture this moment of peace.

We just love how the red lighthouse pops agaisnt the vibrant blue sky and sea.

Has my vision changed?

How frequently should one “change ones glasses?”

There is no hard and fast answer to this question. Certain people are able to keep the same prescription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others require more frequent changes. Nearsighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requiring new prescriptions annually for several years.

Typically, most adults will require lenses for reading and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if distance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most commonly prescribed. The reading prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only minor changes are required.

The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely visits ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effective way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.

The Bra Lady Is Coming To Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is coming to LANGFORD, TUESDAY, SEPT. 29 (for an appointment call before Sept. 26) to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body.

Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks, or do they slip off of your shoulders?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one (JEUNIQUE, NUTRIMETICS, COLESCE) could be the way to go.

Rockin’ out together NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The City of Langford has received an application to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by means of proposed Bylaw No. 1590. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Bylaw at a Public Hearing to be held in the CITY OF LANGFORD COUNCIL CHAMBERS, Third Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, on Monday, 5 October 2015, at 7:00 pm. Please be advised that no representations may be received by Council after the close of the Public Hearing and any submissions made to Council, whether orally or in writing, will form part of a public record.

Proposal:

The purpose of Bylaw No. 1590 is to amend the City of Langford Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by amending the zoning designation of the land that is the subject of Bylaw No. 1590 from R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) Zone and adding to the P1B (Neighbourhood Institutional) Zone to allow for the development of a training facility for Rugby Canada.

Metchosin-based musician Jesse Roper is joined by 11-year-old Ellis Frank on the ukulele, as they perform Saturday in The Atrium building during one of many Rifflandia 2015 events around Victoria. Ellis, son of Spirit of the West’s Tobin Frank, is a Langford resident.

City of Colwood

Notice of Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw Amendment Notice of Intention to Adopt Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw (Hotels) Amendment #1, Bylaw No. 1596, 2015 The City of Colwood wishes to amend an existing revitalization tax exemption program that encourages the development of hotels, motels and lodges to improve upon the inventory of quality rooms available to the traveling public.

Council has the following objectives for the program which are established by the existing bylaw: • to encourage new hotel, motel and lodge investment in the City of Colwood; • to promote a higher standard of overnight accommodations and enrich the visitor’s experience while staying in the City of Colwood; and • to generally reinforce the City’s commitment to long-term development of the tourism industry in Colwood.

Applicant:

City of Langford

Owners will be eligible for tax exemptions if they have completed construction of a new hotel, motel or lodge within the City where the value of construction is $2,000,000 or greater.

Location:

The land that is the subject of Bylaw No. 1590 is 3017 Glen Lake Rd as shown shaded on the plan.

The program is intended to accomplish these objectives by providing a tax exemption to eligible projects.

This tax exemption will provide tax certainty to the property owner and reduce the municipal property tax burden on eligible hotel, motel and lodge projects for a period of up to 10 years.

COPIES of the complete proposed Bylaw and other material that the Council may consider in relation to the Bylaw may be viewed from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (holidays excluded), from Monday, 21 September 2015 to Monday, 5 October 2015, inclusive, at Langford City Hall, 2nd Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, V9B 2X8. Please contact Matthew Baldwin, Director of Planning in the Planning Department at 250-478-7882 with any questions on this Bylaw.

Jim Bowden Administrator

The tax exemption will apply to that increased portion of municipal property tax imposed on the improvements as a result of the British Columbia Assessment Authority increasing the assessed value of the improvements on the land following construction. The amount of an annual tax exemption will be calculated by deducting the baseline assessment (value of improvements before commencement of the project) from the current assessed value of improvements and applying the difference to the current municipal tax rate. For example, the City estimates that the value of the tax exemption for the hotel project at Wale Road under this program would be approximately $100,000 per year for 2016 and the following two years.

The proposed changes to the program in the amendment bylaw are: • to clarify that if multiple building permits are issued in respect of a property that will have a new hotel, motel ,or lodge project, that the tax exemption will not include the value of improvements existing at the time of the tax exemption application or the value any improvements to be built before the new hotel, motel ,or lodge project; • to allow interior shops and conference rooms for the new hotel, motel ,or lodge project to form part of the improvements exempted for tax purposes; and • by requiring the revitalization tax exemption agreement for a successful project to be signed before issuance of an occupancy permit for the new hotel, motel ,or lodge project.

A Council meeting has been scheduled September 28th, 2015, at 7 p.m. to receive public comment.

For more information about the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program and the amendment bylaw, please contact Andrea deBucy, Acting Director of Finance at adebucy@colwood.ca This notice is given in accordance with section 227 of the Community Charter.

Group aims to keep apples across the region from rotting away on the ground Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

Rob Reynolds isn’t above stopping the car and knocking on a stranger’s door for a tree laden with apples.

“We find trees all over the city.

There are a lot in Oak Bay. There’s a lot of what used to be orchards,” said Reynolds, who grew up in and still works in Oak Bay. He’s part of the Greater Victoria Cider Enthusiasts Association, which boasts a Facebook membership of more than 90, that scours the south Island in search of apples that would otherwise go to waste.

The enthusiasts formed three years ago, after meeting each other through the local home brewing community. A group from BrewVic sought to explore beyond beer into ciders and wines. Also, a contingent of ex-pat Brits were desperate to find a dry, less sweet cider than the staple readily available.

“I fell in love with cider when I lived in the West Country in the U.K.,” said Kalynka Cherkosh of Esquimalt.

Here, she found, she couldn’t afford the good stuff on a regular basis and decided to take control of the situation.

“I wanted to make a nice meaty, drier farmhouse cider,” she said.

Cherkosh made a few hundred litres that year and held a wassail in late winter to celebrate – a tradition they continue three years in. “It just seems every year we’ve organized a bit more,” she added.

Now they hand out the leaflets and seek out abandoned trees. A common theme for the older generation is a hatred of waste. Where an older homeowner used to pick and preserve each fall, they simply don’t have the ability anymore and want to see it put to use. They’ll pick the apples, or in some cases pears, and leave as much as the household can utilize, Reynolds said.

TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!!

Christine van Reeuwyk/Black Press

Kyle Hunker, bottom left, Rob Reynolds, David Mitchell and Kalynka Cherkosh are members of the Greater Victoria Cider Enthusiasts Association. They’ll come anywhere in the region to pick fruit off trees to make their tasty beverages.

“We’re trying to turn fallen fruit into caught fruit,” Cherkosh said.

“There’s so much fruit in this city that just falls to the ground,” she said, adding she’d far rather do the work to capture, process and enjoy the fruits of that labour, than see it rotting on the ground, attracting deer and wasps.

Then the Cider Enthusiasts benefit with good local product as opposed to being stuck using ready-made juice for their cider making.

“It’s the difference between Wonder Bread and a beautiful loaf of bread from Fol Epi,” Cherkosh said.

“Sometimes I want a fluffy white bread, but not every day.”

We’re taking a closer look at glass recycling collection.

Our fleet of new trucks — with a separate compartment reserved just for glass recycling — will be in your neighbourhood soon. That means that your glass bottles and jars are now required to be separated from other recyclables into a separate blue box or similar sized container to qualify for curbside pick up. This new step will help keep our materials streams uncontaminated for current and future resource recovery efforts.

Look for our mailer package with a helpful label and other separation and safety tips or visit www.crd.bc.ca/glass

Photos by Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

Opening day action Castaway Wanderers’ ball carrier Jordan Henderson does his best to avoid being tackled by Velox Vahallians players Mikyle Walcott and John Cox during an Island Division 1 rugby league home opener match at the Juan de Fuca field. CW spoiled the Westshore club’s debut on its new field, winning 24-12. Below, players with the fledgling CW women’s team (from left) Stefani Hanson, Camille Irvine, Chelsea Anderson and captain Marlene Nedved swarm Westshore ball carrier Annie Taal. Despite some impressive late-match play by the visitors, the Valkyries enjoyed the upper hand and won 61-24. In men’s elite play, CW beat Westshore 62-24.

Wolves hope for first win tonight Island Jr. B squad look to rebound from lopsided loss Having been reminded who the power is on the South Island in the Vancouver island Junior Hockey League, the Westshore Wolves will regroup and take on the Kerry Park Islanders at 7 p.m. at The Q Centre

Westshore Rebels quarterback Hunter Lake scrambles away from blitzing Vancouver Island Raiders defensive back Keenan Blenner-Hasset, while Rebels running back Darcy Cherneff attempts to help out his QB. The action came during Saturday’s B.C. Football Conference game in Nanaimo, won 35-16 by the Raiders.

tonight (Sept. 23).

The Wolves were handed a 10-1 loss by the defending league champion Victoria Cougars in Esquimalt last Thursday, after dropping a 5-3 decision to the visiting Campbell River Storm the night before.

Tonight’s contest pits the two bottom teams in the south, Kerry Park (1-3) and Westshore (0-4). editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Out of Raider fire, into the Sun Banged-up Rebels take on national No. 2 team Saturday Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The City of Langford has received an application to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by means of proposed Bylaw No. 1583. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Bylaw at a Public Hearing to be held in the CITY OF LANGFORD COUNCIL CHAMBERS, Third Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, on Monday, 5 October 2015, at 7:00 pm. Please be advised that no representations may be received by Council after the close of the Public Hearing and any submissions made to Council, whether orally or in writing, will form part of a public record.

Proposal:

The purpose of Bylaw No. 1583 is to amend the City of Langford Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by amending the text of the RS3 (Residenital Small Lot 3) Zone of the lands that are the subject of Bylaw No. 1583 to allow townhouses /attached housing as permitted uses, and to amend the permitted lot size, height and lot coverage.

Applicant:

Moji Shahab, Parsi Development Ltd.

Location:

The lands that are the subject of Bylaw No. 1583 is 3306 to 3344 Happy Valley Rd as shown shaded on the plan.

After their previous head-to-head game went down to the wire and was decided by two points, the highly anticipated rematch between the Westshore Rebels and Vancouver Island Raiders was rather anti-climactic Saturday as the latter rolled to a 35-16 B.C. Football Conference win in Nanaimo.

Coming off their second win of the season, the Rebels (2-6) were looking to continue their momentum. But the fired-up Raiders (5-3) dominated the first half, built a 28-7 lead by halftime and held the visitors largely at bay the rest of the way.

“Obviously we’re very disappointed in the loss, but I’m still

finding a lot of positive things about the game and the season to this point,” said Rebels head coach J.C. Boice.

“I’ve been watching the game film and our kids competed the whole way. We were very beat up and were missing our starting quarterback, but our kids never panicked … they’re really starting to show signs of maturing as a football team.”

Almost from the beginning, Raiders’ quarterback Liam O’Brien picked apart the young Rebels defensive backfield with surgical accuracy.

By game’s end he had connected on 17 of 20 passes for 337 yards and found the end zone for five touchdown passes.

Three of those scoring plays went

to receiver Arthur Fabbro, who caught six passes for 156 yards on the day, including a 58-yard strike.

Teammate Dustin Rodriguez went 60 yards on another play and hauled in seven O’Brien passes for 148 yards and one TD. “The first quarter we had two three-and-outs (on offence) and we left the defence on the field too long,” Boice said. “Our front seven played outstanding, but our D-backs are a pretty young group … We tackled really well in open space, but we just gave up the big play a couple of times.”

The Rebels’ passing game was stifled, managing just 53 yards with Hunter Lake starting in place of injured No. 1 QB Ashton Mackinnon.

Lake connected on just

COPIES of the complete proposed Bylaw and other material that the Council may consider in relation to the Bylaw may be viewed from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (holidays excluded), from Monday, 21 September 2015 to Monday, 5 October 2015, inclusive, at Langford City Hall, 2nd Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, V9B 2X8.

Things don’t get any easier for the Rebels. This Saturday (Sept. 26) they’ll host the league-leading Okanagan Sun, who bring an 8-0 record and a No. 2 national ranking in the most recent poll.

“They’re going to be tough,” admitted Boice. “But we play really tough at home.

The kids are excited to play, they’re hitting me up on Messenger and saying ‘hey, what if we try this or that.’

They’re really engaged … That’s what I love about these kids, they love the direction we’re going in. They’re coming to work and doing the things that successful programs are doing.”

First BCHL win eludes Grizzlies BCHL Showcase games will end extended road trip The Victoria Grizzlies will no doubt be happy to get playing on home ice again.

The B.C. Hockey League squad, bumped out of its home at The Q Centre, first by the Mann Cup and then due to Monday’s Kraft Hockeyville game between the NHL’s Canucks and San Jose Sharks, dropped its latest two road games to fall to 0-3 on the season.

The Grizz lost a narrow 3-2 decision in Port Alberni on Sat-

scored on the power play in the first minute of the third period.

But Victoria rebounded with a power play goal of their own from Cole Pickup at 7:05. Alex Peck cut the margin to 3-2 at the 18:56 mark. With Grizzlies goalie Matthew Galajda pulled for an extra attacker, the Clippers ended the comeback hopes with an empty net goal at 19:53.

This weekend’s Bauer BCHL Showcase scouting event sees the Grizzlies take on host Chilliwack on Saturday, then play Prince George on Sunday in regular season games. Victoria hosts its home opener Oct. 2 against Coquitlam. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
