View Royal monitoring Watkiss logging

Entrepreneurial students making strides at Belmont Hearing former Dragon speak inspires action at high school

It’s not every day you find a handful of high school students who are passionate about business and all that it entails. It’s even rarer to find a group aiming to use that passion to inspire their peers to succeed. After attending an event that featured speaker former Dragon’s Den panelist Brett Wilson, a handful of Belmont students were inspired to learn more about entrepreneurship and innovation. And so, the Belmont Student Entrepreneur and Innovation Club was born. The purpose of the club is simple: to inspire and empower students to come up with innovative ideas to change their community for the better. “We want to create change in the school through innovation and creativity,” said club president Aiden Lindal. He and vice-president Cam McMicken have been spearheading the initiative with late-night phone calls, brainstorming sessions and meetings with school administrators. “We want to raise the (grade point average) of the school,” Lindal said. On a scale out of 10, schools are annually ranked based on their provincial exam marks. The boys said Belmont only scored a 4.8, a number they feel doesn’t represent the student body at all. Their plan is to make sure the wealth of intelligence of their peers is measured correctly. As such they want to help schoolmates meet their full potential by making sure the student body is fuelled with proper nutrition. The Grade 11 duo have hit the ground running and are working towards starting their own café within the school. “We’re in the midst of finding a supplier,” said McMicken, noting that the plan is to “get students involved and fed better.” PleASe See: Café’s aim to boost brainpower, Page A3

West Shore residents are voicing concern over clearcut logging being done on a Watkiss Way property bordering View Royal. “It has far more effect on View Royal residents,” said Mayor David Screech, noting that town residents are seeing an impact on their skyline and neighbourhoods. “Unfortunately, it’s not within our jurisdiction.” In October, Saanich issued a permit to remove upwards of 4,900 trees on a 12-hectare parcel of private land along Watkiss Way, directly north of Victoria General Hospital, with a portion bordering a wetland in View Royal. “It would have been a courtesy to at least discuss it with us before it started,” Screech said, adding that transporting the logs off the property violates a View Royal bylaw relating to heavy truck traffic, but now their hands are tied. Nonetheless, he said, View Royal is monitoring the project. “At the beginning, we wanted to make sure it was being done properly.” With regard to the wetlands, Screech’s understanding is that all of the proper setbacks will be observed. That said, he doesn’t see much point in trying to pause the project. “At this point, you wonder if the damage is already done,” he said. “The owner has no intention of stopping. To me, it’s a done deal.”

Random acts of kindness evident in Colwood Recent storm sparks a sense of community Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Sometimes the greatest acts can come from a dark place. Sometimes a small gesture can change a person’s entire day. While Colwood, along with the rest of the West Shore, was being

pounded by a storm Nov. 17, it was small gestures made by residents that stood out in the minds and hearts of city staffers, not the widespread power outages, school closures, traffic delays, downed trees and drainage issues they spent the day dealing with. “Storms bring out the best in some people,” said Sandra Russell, Colwood’s communication manager. “People pull together in really nice ways.” One bylaw officer in particular

was blown away by a Colwood resident’s random act of kindness in the midst of horizontal rain and relentless winds. Phil Williams was directing traffic at Sooke Road and Belmont Avenue. He received a nice surprise while he was setting up cones, from a man who dashed over. “(The man) thrust a Tim Hortons bag into (Williams’) hands,” relayed Russell, adding the Good Samaritan was gone as quickly as

he appeared. The bag was filled with sandwiches and other goodies for the crews working in the storm. Williams told Russell, “it was an act of kindness that made it all worth it.” Another bylaw officer, Kevin Atkinson, was driving through the storm along Sooke Road near Royal Roads University when he noticed a little boy walking on the side of the road alone. While that may not have been a curious sight on any other day, something

about seeing the boy out in the storm, being blown around, didn’t sit right with the bylaw officer. He wheeled his vehicle around and as he did so, received a radio call that West Shore RCMP were searching for a eight-year-old boy who was unaccounted for from John Stubbs Memorial school. “He was able to take the child to a warm, safe place,” said Russell, adding the boy was the missing child in question. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Icy roads can wreak havoc for West Shore drivers Property owners responsible for ice and snow removal on sidewalks Katie Engqvist News Gazette staff

You can’t blame anyone for not wanting to get out of bed in the morning with the dark, cold conditions. But those extra few moments huddled under the covers can cause some motorists to run behind in the morning and search for ways to make up lost time in their commute. Last week’s crash on the Malahat in which a Saanich man died and two other people were injured is an tragic reminder that treacherous conditions – at worst black ice – can materialize at any time during the fall and winter months. West Shore RCMP confirmed

investigators are looking into loss of traction as a contributing factor in that crash. Detachment spokesperson Const. Alex Berube said the Malahat has seen its share of weatherrelated crashes, mostly due to driving too fast for road conditions. However, the Trans-Canada Highway isn’t the only road on the West Shore known to ice up on occasion. Berube said the Millstream Road and Lost Lake Road area in Highlands, among others, can also be problematic. Between Oct. 1 and Nov. 23, West Shore RCMP have responded to 76 collisions, although not all of those were related to weather conditions, he added. As the chance for deteriorating driving conditions increases, Berube said the best precautionary measure is to “pre-trip” your vehicle – in other words, make sure everything is in working order. That includes headlights, brake and signal lights, tire tread and

pressure, and ensuring there is nothing obstructing your view. Be sure to leave enough time in the morning to properly defrost windows before getting on the road. Berube said police cannot stress enough the fact that motorists need to slow down when driving conditions are poor. With winter almost upon us and the mornings getting icier, the City of Langford is also warning residents to take extra precautions on roadways and sidewalks, and reminding property owners of their responsibilities to keep sidewalks and adjacent footpaths safe and clear of ice or snow. The City is also asking residents to lend a helping hand to any neighbours physically unable to do so. Michelle Mahovlich, Langford director of engineering, hasn’t given up hope on a white Christmas just yet but is still realistic about the slim possibility of a heavy snowfall hitting the area.

Added Lindal: “We’re changing the nutritional aspect of the school.” The pair are careful to explain they aren’t out to knock Belmont’s current food services, but just want to offer more choices so students don’t have to leave school to find different food options. They also looked into offering a free breakfast program for students who need it, but discovered Belmont already has a program in place. They found that not many students know about it and are focusing on helping to promote that program so no one goes hungry. Belmont principal Ray Miller supported the idea of a student-run shop and noted that no one will be able to keep these boys down once they get an idea in their heads. Lindal and McMicken are not just focused on nutrition. Lindal said the café would be a way for students to learn life

skills that they could translate into jobs in the community. The pair formed the idea of the café as a way to expand students’ business skills outside the classroom. “You learn the fundamentals, but you don’t get to apply them,” McMicken said, adding it was a way for students to get “involved with local entrepreneurs.” The fledgling entrepreneurs have Langford’s mayor in their corner. “Stew is a big advocate,” McMicken said of Mayor Young, who gave him his first job. “Getting that first job is the hardest.” That’s why they want to get other students, not just Entrepreneur Club members, involved in the café once it is up and running; so they can “be excited to come to school and plan for the next day,” McMicken said. The club, which currently has 10 members, surveyed the Belmont student body to see if there was any interest in taking

part. The response was positive and students expressed interest in helping the group with its future plans. The group intends to solicit further feedback, specifically regarding the café, and wants to partner with different classes at Belmont to work on areas such as branding for the initiative. The club even has its own speaker event planned for Dec. 11 in Belmont’s auditorium. Confirmed guests include Qoola frozen yogurt bar founder Warrick Chu and OrganicLives CEO Preet Marwaha and Young, who owns the Alpine Group of Companies. The main goal of the conference “is to get people talking,” Lindal said. “So they can inspire others to create change.” With their evident passion and drive, who knows, these boys might just end up on Dragon’s Den themselves one day in the near future. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

If your eyes get tired or inflamed occasionally, taking eye drops to make them feel better may actually increase the risk of future problems. Your eyes are very precious and delicate. They should never be treated without the advice of your eye care professional. Valuable time may be lost in detecting vision problems if you decide to treat tired or inflamed eyes yourself. It could be that the eye drops feel soothing or you believe washing out your eyes with a home remedy is all you need to relieve a minor eye problem. True, not all inflamed eyes are a sign of something serious, and perhaps the condition will soon alleviate itself. However, any persistent eye problem, even a minor one, should have professional care, as it could be a symptom of something more serious. You should have your eyes examined regularly, even if you’ve never had a problem in seeing clearly. You should have them examined to ensure they remain healthy and function properly.

OUR VIEW

Jurisdictional co-operation key Canada’s new federal government has a lot on its plate as it transitions its civil service from the previous administration. One thing that looks positive from their initial weeks in office is the amount of communication that appears to be happening with groups outside the sphere of Ottawa. This week’s first ministers meeting is one example of expanded communication. It’s the first time in seven years that B.C. Premier Christy Clark and the rest of the country’s premiers have met for talks with the prime minister. Talking strategy for dealing with climate change – an obvious discussion point with the United Nations Climate Change Conference getting underway next week in Paris – and the impending resettling of Syrian refugees in Canada are the two main issues. But the act of getting together to compare notes, listen to the regional challenges being faced by other areas of the country, and how they feel about specific issues is a good way to start the new government’s relationship with the provinces. It has been said many times that information is power. Creating a space for provincial leaders – the people heading up the jurisdictions responsible for the delivery of many government services – to share what works and what doesn’t with their federal counterparts is critical to moving forward. We don’t expect that everyone will agree on ways forward when it comes to the big issues like greenhouse gas reduction targets, environmental protection and refugee resettlement. But getting together to share ideas early on is a good start to ensure the best ideas come forward, now or in the future. We hope Premier Clark and her crew leave the meetings with optimism and a sense that the Trudeau government will be a good partner and ally in developing future strategies. After all, how the province and feds work together ultimately effects our cities and neighbourhoods. Often it’s in less visible ways, such as health care funding. But sometimes it’s in large ways, as on major initiatives like the McKenzie Interchange, the sewage treatment program and the Johnson Street Bridge. What do you think?

It’s an odd coincidence that Willson suddenly made this claim, 47 years after the first Peace dam was completed, when he happened to be in court trying to stop Site C. A coalition of U.S. and Canadian environment groups is also demanding that Site C be stopped, using typical arguments to appeal to their low-information donor base. According to the Sierra Club and others, Site C is not a renewable energy project because the (largely idle) farmland it floods is a “carbon sink.” Forests do store carbon, albeit temporarily, but farmland where the trees have been cleared? This is gluten-free gobbledegook. They also trot out the claim that Site C will be used to power liquefied natural gas operations. Most proponents so far have said they will use gas for LNG processing, and if they don’t have hydro available for ancillary power, they will have to burn more gas. B.C. Hydro has just finished its latest grid upgrade, a second high-voltage transmission line from Merritt to Coquitlam. It adds disaster reliability to the system that brings power from the Peace and Columbia dams to the Lower Mainland. If you’re arguing that hydroelectricity isn’t renewable power, you’ve already lost. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Pedestrian overpass across TCH lacking on Veteran’s Re: Langford road works aim to streamline traffic flow (Gazette, Nov. 18) A full-page article on traffic flow improvements in Langford. But only for motor cars; nothing for people, pedestrians, cyclists, youth, seniors, handicapped riding scooters, etc. North Langford is separated from the city’s downtown by the Trans-Canada Highway, with absolutely no practical pedestrian crossing, only an extensive fence in its median. In spite of repeated public promises in the past, moneys that had been provisionally set aside for a pedestrian crossing were spent on other things, and all those firm and assured promises were reneged upon. Transit across the TCH has actually been reduced over the past few years to only two routes: the No. 52 and the 56/57. The No. 52 only serves the caroriented Millstream commercial district, not residential areas. The 56/57 is a merged, hourly route that strings all over North Langford to or from the Phelps subdivision at one end, and to or from Westhills at the other. The Phelps neighbourhood would be better served by the 52. This poor, reduced transit service for North Langford has, of course, resulted in poor, reduced

The overpass on Veteran’s Memorial Parkway crossing the Trans-Canada Highway, which links two sections of Langford, needs a more practical pedestrian crossing, reader writes. ridership in turn. Dogpatch Langford still exists; it has only moved to North-Langford residential areas, behind the extensive fencing on the highway. While the headline read “Langford road works aim to streamline traffic flow,” that is only true for the very short term. Over the long term, the city’s road works aim to “streamline” traffic gridlock by attracting more cars. That is, if other modes of traffic, such as pedestrians, bicycles and transit, are ignored and not dealt

with pretty soon, starting with a pedestrian overpass. Axel Brock-Miller Langford

McKenzie interchange a short-term solution Re: McKenzie interchange Will the rebuilding of the McKenzie Avenue/Trans Canada Highway intersection improve the severe rush hour congestion for those from the West Shore wishing to access the city

centre and the Pat Bay highway? Will the “20 minutes to town” mantra ever be a reality in rush hour? Not likely. The growth of traffic from the West Shore is sure to continue to outstrip the capabilities of the Trans Canada corridor, McKenzie fix or not. The fix is short-term. Other cities are looking longer term. Calgary, for example, has severe rush hour

congestion and recently won federal funding to extend light rail service. Fortunately for Calgary, traffic planning does not involve 13 separate jurisdictions. The recent Ecofiscal Commission report on traffic congestion in Canada suggests that cities consider “congestion charging,” such as high occupancy toll lanes. I-405 in Seattle has already introduced this type of toll. Meanwhile, citizens here are asked to consider only the details of a short-term fix. What are the prospects for reducing congestion in the long run? At the moment they are not good unless light rail, diamond lanes (HOV) and congestion charging are considered in comprehensive transportation planning for a region of some 350,000 people. As a recent California department of transportation report concluded, building more free access to roads simply generates more traffic. You can’t beat congestion that way, it says. They should know! Who will make plans in this fragmented region that face up to this fact? John Olson Colwood

West Shore senior volleyball teams have bright future Don Descoteau

Royal Bay’s Mitchell Whittla (11) and Parker Stewart go up for a block against North Island top seed Mark Isfeld Ice in round robin play at the Island AA senior boys Island championships in Colwood. The Ravens beat the Courtenay team in two sets here and won their pool, but ultimately lost 3-0 to Woodlands of Nanaimo for the third and final berth into the provincial tournament.

the city tournament was particularly sweet for the team, he added, especially since it helped lead to a provincials berth. The Bulldogs split their matches against runner-up Oak Bay (2-0 loss) and Claremont (2-1 win) in pool play, then dispatched Spectrum 3-0 in the quarter-finals.

Ravens boys close, but miss B.C.s berth At the senior boys AA Island tournament at Royal Bay, the host Ravens dropped a 3-0 deci-

sion (18-25, 18-25, 23-25) to Woodlands from Nanaimo in the bronze medal match Saturday. The match determined the final Island spot into the AA provincials, being held concurrently with the AAA event in Langley. While not gaining a spot in the B.C.s was disappointing, there were enough high points from the weekend to leave Ravens coach Kris Johnson with plenty of optimism. Winning their pool with a 3-0 match record was one, as was beating eventual runner-up Lambrick Park in round robin play.

Belmont senior girls show improvement Over at Belmont, the host Bulldogs lost 2-1 (20-25, 25-18, 5-15) to Mount Douglas in Saturday’s senior girls AAAA Island tournament bronze medal match. A win would have given the locals the final Island berth into the provincials, but coach Mike Toakley wasn’t disappointed with his players’ efforts. “They saved their best for today, (Friday) they were OK, but today they were very good,” he said. “Unfortunately they had to

play two really good teams, both ranked top 10 in the province. Taking a game off Mount Doug was great, getting a win over them would have been fabulous, but all in all I’m pleased with their performance today.” The Bulldogs finished second in their pool with straight-set wins over Cowichan and Claremont and a 2-0 loss (17-25, 14-25) to Mount Doug. They followed that up with a 25-13, 25-11 win over Spectrum to open the playoff round, then ran out of time in Saturday’s semifinals against eventual runner-up Dover Bay of Nanaimo, losing 12-25, 18-25, 23-25. “We were getting better and better as we went along,” Toakley said. “If we could have played the quality of opponents like that more consistently we could have had a better chance today.” Oak Bay beat Dover Bay in five sets in a see-saw final. Dover Bay hosts the provincials in two weekends, while Oak Bay secured the top Island seed and Mount Doug third for the tournament. Kendra Hobenschield from Belmont was among the tournament all-stars named following the final. Others included Lilly Mead (best libero) and Kyra Schroeder from Mt. Doug, Ava Parker from Oak Bay, and Hayley Goodwin and Amy Smith from Dover Bay. Oak Bay’s Thana Fayad was named tournament MVP. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

They would have preferred to end on a winning note, but the Belmont Bulldogs punched their ticket to the B.C. AAA senior boys volleyball championships with a fourth-place finish at the Island tournament. Despite losing 2-0 to eventual champion Dover Bay of Nanaimo in the semifinals then 2-0 to Reynolds in the bronze medal match Saturday at Oak Bay High, the Bulldogs qualified for the provincials. That event is scheduled for Dec. 2 to 5 in Langley and Belmont would go in ranked 18th. At press time, however, Belmont co-coach Kris Walushka was still looking into whether the team can afford to go away for four nights. Regardless, qualifying was a major coup for the Bulldogs, whose program was gutted when most of last year’s Grade 11 players shifted to Royal Bay. “It is a huge accomplishment to go from thinking we had no teams, to then having two teams (junior and senior), to then qualifying for provincials,” Walushka said. “Being so raw and inexperienced has made us have many ups and downs, and we have taken our lumps all year. But every week we improved different aspects of our game and a lot of it came together this weekend.” Avenging a loss to Claremont in

Combined with last weekend’s Island tournament win by the Ravens juniors (see page A20), Johnson said, “I’m very excited about the future of boys volleyball at Royal Bay.” The Ravens lost to eventual champion Pacific Christian School in the semifinals, while Woodlands were beat by Lambrick Park. beating Courtenay’s Mark Isfeld (25-21, 26-24), Lambrick (25-20, 18-25, 16-14) and Highland from Comox (25-15, 25-18). PCS gave the comeback performance of the tournament in Saturday’s final, a 3-2 win over Lambrick Park. PCS lost the first two sets, 21-25, 18-25, and were on the verge of a Lambrick sweep in the third, but came back to win 26-24, then won 25-20 and 15-11 to gain the Island No. 1 seed for the B.C.s.

West Shore juniors capture Island volleyball crowns Provincial tourneys await Bulldogs and Ravens

crosstown rival Timberline to secure the other Island berth into the B.C.s. “There were rallies that were not just one and done, (we) were rallying for those points.” Belmont won their pool with a 6-0 record, beating Gulf Islands, Brentwood College and Timberline, who gave the Bulldogs their closest game, a 25-22 second-set win. Looking ahead to the 32-team provincial tournament, hosted by Seaquam, South Delta and North Delta secondaries, Belmont goes in relatively blind, Lowe said. Its pool includes Surrey’s Lord Tweedsmuir, Kelly Road in Prince George and Kamloops’ Valleyview. “They say juniors is the hardest thing to win, because there’s no tiering,” Lowe said. Without teams being slotted into power pools based on pre-tournament rankings, luck of the draw is a factor. The top two teams in each pool advance to the championship draw, which is a single-knockout situation. “If we can sneak out with a banner that’d be great, but if we don’t it’s not going to define our season,” Lowe said. His players, many of whom have played in the provincial club volleyball

The West Shore’s two sparkling new high school gymnasiums will be graced with a new banner, after the Belmont junior girls and Royal Bay junior boys won their respective Island volleyball championships. The Bulldogs girls continued their domination on the Island scene, beating Campbell River’s Carihi 25-14, 25-15 in Saturday’s girls final at Brentwood College in Mill Bay. The win, which confirmed a spot in this week’s provincial championships in Delta, capped an undefeated weekend for the Belmont side and followed a 2-0 win over Courtenay’s Mark Isfeld in the semifinals earlier that day. “They were a tough-serving team, a very defensive-oriented team,” Belmont coach Ken Lowe said of Carihi, who won a slim three-set semifinal victory over

championships, are excited and prepared for their next challenge, he said. “They’re happy and optimistic they can have a good showing at provincials.” Meanwhile, the Royal Bay Ravens junior boys booked their spot in this week’s 24-team provincials in Kelowna with a thrilling come-from-behind win over Claremont in the Island final on the Spartans’ home court on Saturday. The Ravens, who won the opening set 25-20 then lost 26-24, erased a 6-1 deficit in the tiebreaker to win 16-14. Winning the Island crown was a measure of redemption for the Ravens, who lost the city final to Oak Bay, but beat them 2-1 in the Island semifinals. “Our team played with heart and determination,” said Ravens co-coach Dian McKinnon. Royal Bay opens round robin pool play at the B.C.s tomorrow (Nov. 26) against David Thompson from Vancouver. They follow later Thursday with matches against tournament co-host Const. Neil Bruce middle school and Abbotsford Christian. The crossover playoff round gets underway Friday, with the medal round set for Saturday. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Grizzlies out to clip Nanaimo

B.C. Hockey League teams battle again Friday at The Q

Coffee Bar

Having lost a 5-1 decision to the Clippers last week in Nanaimo, the Victoria Grizzlies get another chance to knock down the B.C. Hockey League’s Island Division leaders at home this Friday. The Grizzlies, who rebounded from that loss and a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Trail Smokeaters at The Q Centre last Thursday to soundly beat Cowichan Valley 6-2 in Colwood on Friday, host the Clippers for a 7 p.m. game. Victoria then takes on Alberni Valley on Saturday at 7 at The Q Centre. The Grizzlies are 0-3 against Nanaimo so far this season and have been outscored 14-7. Last Wednesday in Nanaimo at Frank Crane Arena, the home team led 2-0 after one period, but Cole Pickup got the Grizzlies on the board in the second. The Clippers’ Zach Court restored the twogoal lead at the 14:42 mark of the middle frame. The Grizzlies controlled the play in the third, outshooting Nanaimo 11-4, but could not beat Clippers goalie Evan Johnson. Sheldon Rempal scored his second of the game into an empty net for Nanaimo with 1:10 to go, and Nolan Aibel found the net with nine seconds left. The Grizzlies led 2-0 after one against Trail, but gave up three straight goals to fall to the Smokeaters. Pickup, with a

power play goal, and Keyvan Mokhtari with a shorthanded marker, had given the locals a 2-0 lead late in the opening frame. On Friday, the Grizzlies spotted the Caps a 1-0 lead in the first before Mokhtari went to work. He

scored his seventh and eighth goals of the season before the period was over, giving the home team a lead they would not relinquish. P.J. Conlon, Dante Hahn and two from Brayden Gelsinger in the second made it a

Goddess Run on track thanks to city funding Langford council recently approved five-kilometre, 10K and 15K routes as well as a funding grant for the Victoria Goddess Run in 2016 and 2017. Council agreed to contribute $4,000 for next year’s event – up from $3,000 in past years – while also providing the use of the Langford Trolley to shuttle Goddess Run participants between the Westin Bear Mountain and Westhills Stadium, the two central points for the weekend events. The rental of the stadium was also approved at no cost to organizers. The City’s 2017 funding contribution is to be confirmed based on route selection and approval. Choice Events Ltd., organizers of the annual Victoria Goddess Run, hosts three separate run routes throughout Langford as a way of raising money for three local charities. Over the past four years the Goddess Run has donated more than $150,000 to charity and continues to raise awareness. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Hydro warns Reader Photo residents to prepared for power outages OF THE WEEK

Last week’s storm left a number of West Shore residents without power, some were even faced with outages that lasted well into the following evening. While many were fortunate to only experience their lights flicker, it was a good reminder for all to be prepared for winter storms, because during a power outage you may be left without heat, lights or water. BC Hydro suggests taking the time to prepare in advance for possible outages to help reduce their effects and encourages residents to take these first steps before the weather turns nasty. The easiest way to do that, is by preparing an emergency kit and storing it in an easy to find location that all members of the family know. BC Hydro reminds residents to check the kit regularly to make sure it is well stocked for all members of a household and equipment is in working order. Residents need to be prepared for the first 72 hours in the event of an emergency or prolonged outage. When the lights do go out, BC Hydro is asking residents to first check to see if the outage has already been reported. You can do this by visiting bchydro.com on a mobile device, calling 1-888769-3766 from a corded

landline or *HYDRO on your mobile phone. You can also log in to your BC Hydro account to report an outage online. Residents are also being reminded to never go near or touch a fallen power line and to always assume that a line or anything it is in contact with is energized. Stay at least 10 metres (about the length of a bus) away at all times and do not attempt to clear surrounding debris. For more information and tips go to bchydro.com and click on the Safety and Outages menu option. katie@goldstream gazette.com

David Cox wanted to share the view from his deck off Fulton Road on Triangle Mountain in Colwood. This untouched gem just goes to show the beauty of the area from a slightly higher perspective than most passing through the area get to see. If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people, places or things and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help you out with that. Every week we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo considered for publication, simply email us a high-resolution .jpg copy to editor@ goldstreamgazette.com. Please include your name, contact information including

municipality of residence, where you took the photo and what you like about the image. Entries must be received by 5 p.m. Fridays to be included for consideration for the following week’s paper. Weekly winners will also be posted on the Gazette’s Facebook page. Good luck!
