Holocaust remembered Oak Bay High hosts event tonight to honour composer, public speaker Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

Tonight a team of young Oak Bay High dramatists tackles an intimidating 500plus page oratorio written 44 years ago by a Holocaust survivor.

Peter Gary has a wife he loves along with two Labrador dogs and seven chickens on a quiet piece of the Saanich Peninsula.

“I live every hour of my life living as fruitfully as possible,” he says.

He calculates more than 66,000 high schoolers from Oak Bay to Powell River have heard his messages over more than two decades.

“Stamp out hate. For you, for your future children and grandchildren you deserve a better life than mine was,” he says. “That’s what I say to them. My world got screwed

up. Don’t let it happen to theirs.”

They still tell him, 20 years later, “I never forgot your message.”

Well before he started speaking with youth, Gary penned his oratorio, A Twentieth Century Passion.

It shares very little of his personal tale.

Born in Poland in 1924, the composer started piano by age 5 and was accepted into the Franz Liszt Royal Academy at age 11.

For the first time in close to four decades of helping local residents, Oak Bay Volunteer Services has issued an urgent appeal for donations.

For 39 years, the agency has matched Bronwyn Taylor volunteers with Oak Bay residents, mostly seniors, in need of vital daily services.

Volunteers provide one-to-one support with activities such as drives to medical appointments, visits, walks, daily reassurance phone calls for those living alone, reading, minor repairs, gardening, help with tax returns and much more.

Today, however, the agency faces a confluence of funding challenges, says Joan Halvorsen, executive director of Oak Bay Volunteer Services.

In addition to some of the agency’s major grants being reduced or delayed, OBVS has not received any bequests this year, as it has in the past.

OBVS continues to work with its major funders and look at other opportunities, however it is asking the community for financial support to help it raise the $80,000 currently needed.

Wednesday, January January 27, 27, 2016 2016 -- OAK BAY NEWS Wednesday,

Oak Bay Fire urges caution with heating equipment With the cotinued cold, damp weather, Oak Bay Fire Department reminds residents to following safety precautions when using heating equipment.

Always have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters and supervise children around fireplaces, fire pits or other space heaters. Use a sturdy, metal screen to prevent contact burns, even more common than flame burns, notes Capt. Rob Kivell, Oak Bay’s fire prevention officer.

Keep anything that can burn, such as paper, bedding or furniture, at least three feet away from heating equipment.

Use equipment with a recognized testing laboratory label and never use your oven for heating.

Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment, water heaters or central heating equipment according to local codes and manufac-

turer’s instructions.

Ensure all fuel-burning vented equipment is vented to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. CO is created when fuels burn incompletely and poisoning can cause illness and even death. Exhaust venting must be kept clear and unobstructed.

Install and maintain carbon monoxide alarms to avoid risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected annually by a qualified professional.

Portable electric space heaters Turn heaters off when you go to bed or leave the room and choose portable space heaters with an automatic shut-off in case they’re tipped over, Kivell says.

Place space heaters on solid, flat surface and plug directly into outlets, never

into an extension cord.

Inspect for cracked or damaged, broken plugs or loose connections. Replace before using.

Fuel-burning space heaters Always use the proper fuel as specified by the manufacturer and in portable kerosene or other liquid-fueled heaters, always use the proper grade of the proper fuel.

When refueling, allow the appliance to cool and refuel outside or in a well-ventilated area.

When using the heater, open a window to ensure proper ventilation.

All new, unvented gas-fired space heaters have an oxygen-depletion sensor that detects a reduced level of oxygen in the area where the heater is operating and shuts off the heater before a hazardous level of carbon monoxide accumulates.

If you have an older heater without this feature, replace it, Kivell says.

If a gas heater pilot light goes out, wait five minutes or more for the gas to disipate before trying again. Don’t allow gas to accumulate. To avoid flashback, light the match before turning on the gas to the pilot.

If you smell gas in your gas heater, don’t try to light the appliance. Turn off all the controls, open doors and window and call a gas service person.

Wood-burning stoves Choose wood stoves bearing the label of a recognized testing laboratory and install following manufacturer’s instructions or have a professional do the installation.

In wood stoves, burn only dry, seasoned wood.

In pellet stoves, burn only dry, seasoned wood pellets.

Start the fire with newspaper or kindling, never with a flammable liquid, such as lighter fluid, kerosene or gasoline. Keep stove doors closed unless loading or stoking the fire.

Allow ashes to cool before disposing in a tightly covered metal container kept at least 10 feet from the home and any other nearby buildings. Douse and saturate with water.

Clean and inspect chimneys and vents at least once a year.

UVic explores Holocaust legacy

Residents invited to Uplands sewer update Oak Bay invites residents for an Uplands sewer separation project update during a special committee of the whole meeting Feb. 2.

The meeting will share views, ideas, concerns and support in relation to six options being considered to separate the existing combined sanitary and stormwater sewer in the 190-hectare Uplands subdivision.

The provincial government, through its Municipal Wastewater Regulation, requires all B.C. communities with single-pipe infrastructure to take the appropriate action to separate stormwater flow from sanitary sewage flow.

A staff report, including a review of public input and survey responses, will be considered at this meeting by the committee.

The report will be available online at oakbay.ca as of today (Jan. 27). Those wishing to provide correspondence for the agenda can provide it to Corporate Services by 3 p.m. on Feb. 2. Correspondence can be submitted via email to mjones@oakbay.ca or hard copy to Municipal Hall, 2167 Oak Bay Ave., Victoria B.C., V8R 1G2.

The meeting is Tuesday, Feb. 2 at 7 p.m. at Monterey Recreation Centre, 1442 Monterey Ave. reporter @oakbaynews.com

Learning to celebrate Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen speaks during the Neigh-bourhood Learning Centre open house celebration Jan. 16. The learning centre is part of the new Oak Bay High School.

On Christmas Eve 1941, Gary and his mother were arrested by Nazis, and his mother killed. Gary survived various death camps before he was liberated in April 1945. The then 21-year-old weighed 76 pounds.

The composition starts at the First World War and flows through to the Nuremberg trials in a bid to share the entire story.

“Every year in Carmel, California they had a Bach festival in a beautiful church in the middle of downtown and people fly in from all over. It’s so well done,” Gary says. He went for years, and always took the musical score to follow along with his ears, eyes, heart and brain.

“That year I forgot the score. I forgot it at home, and I closed my eyes and as I’m listening to this immense composition some force turned around the notes … and grabbed my hand and I started to see what it was writing,” he says. “When people ask, ‘What is this superstition?’ I say you’re damn right.

I feel those children were guiding me.

I owed it.”

“Those children” being the small bodies he carried from trucks – makeshift gas chambers – under the Nazi eye.

Gary shifts the conversation with dry wit – again – to tonight’s performance at Oak Bay High.

“They want to do it in somebody’s

honour so I have to see who the hell he is,” he says, the straight man, as if it’s not him they plan to honour.

That particular spotlight is a challenge for Gary; he’s put the kibosh on applications to honour him before.

“I could never, ever derive honour or financial advantage for what I do. I owe it for the bodies of dead children I carried out of trucks,” he says. “I owe it to those whose stuff I was sorting out in the warehouses.”

They were just two of the horrifying tasks he was given as a teen in the death camps.

Under direction of Steven Price, the teens at Oak Bay High will read segments of the A Twentieth Century Passion on stage in the Dave Dunnet Community Theatre.

“When they told me they want to

read the lyrics without the music … (I thought) wait, wait, wait that doesn’t make sense. Then I heard it. And I said, you know what, they’re very powerful (words),” he says. “It was to me a revelation.

“He wants to do it his way with the kids. I trust the teacher, that’s what he does,” Gary says. “I may write something, (but) the moment there is someone standing up in front of 40, 60, 80 musicians raises his hands … it’s his.

It’s Steven’s from now on.”

The same goes for the world premier of the full oratorio planned for April 2017 in Jerusalem. A hall has been booked and a conductor chosen, and the event tonight will help fund the affair, says organizer Bill Southward.

“The idea is to honour Peter but but also be a fundraiser to host the event in Jerusalem,” he says.

“We think Vancouver Island should step up because of the blessing Peter’s been to our youth.”

Oak Bay High students will read from the piece, A Twentieth Century Passion – tonight to celebrate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jan. 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the school’s community theatre.

Admission is free, with donations to help fund the world premier in Jeruslam accepted at the end of the evening.

Seed catalogues: The Paradox of Choice Here’s the trouble with seed catThe seed catalogues have begun to arrive.

Then I forget about the list for a while, look at it again, and call the company to speak to a real person, who does all the work of tallying up and shipping, tells me my total, waits for me to balk, and then I pare back my order with the benefit of their computer and my shame.

Seeds are a BIG subject, but here’s one guiding principle to follow as the catalogues roll in: only order from companies or growers that have climates similar to your own. My definition of ‘similar’ is broadly self-serving: I use Seedaholic from Ireland, Floret from Washington, Owl’s Acres, Chiltern and Sarah Raven from

England for flowers, and West Coast Seeds from Delta for salad greens. Locally, I buy seeds from Saltspring Seeds and Metchosin Farm.

I try – desperately at times – to avoid heirloom seeds from exotic locations: they just aren’t adapted to our environment and despite worthy urges to support openpollinated varieties and genetic diversity, your money is better spent by donation to a botanic garden, seed bank or heirloom protection project. Want to grow

an ancient grain or groovy gourd this year? Resist unless you can find the seed locally. Read packets. Investigate companies. Old open-pollinated varieties of seed are the most stable (true to type), and if they come from a maritime climate like ours, you’ll increase your chance of success.

And if you do succumb and buy too much this spring, remember you’ve got a few years to use the seeds you didn’t sow. If kept cool and dry, seeds will last a few years, at least. Best dig out that shoebox from last year and see what you have saved before you spend.

Christin Geall is an avid Oak Bay gardener and a creative non-fiction instructor at the University of Victoria.

Agency provides vital support Continued from Page A1

Halvorsen says she’s confident the community will help the agency continue supporting clients’ quality of life. “We’re quite hopeful that we will come up with the funding. The community has always been very supportive,” she says.

At any given time, OBVS has about 200 volunteers working with 475 clients; of those clients, 84 per cent are age 65 and older and 76 per cent are women, Halvorsen notes. The agency undertakes an assessment of each client’s needs and also works with family members where appropriate.

“It’s an integral part of the community...we are providing a really essential service for people.”

Oak Bay Volunteer Services can provide charitable tax receipts for donations. Anyone considering a planned giving donation is also urged to contact the agency. “We ask that people please give generously if you can at this time of urgent need to help us to provide the valuable one-to-one volunteer services to residents of Oak Bay,” says Bronwyn Taylor, chair of the OBVS board of directors. “We thank all who have supported us over the years. It is our hope that present and new philanthropic donors will come forward.”

OUR VIEW

Holocaust events remind us why we must never forget Two stories in this edition of your Oak Bay News remind us that while we are 70 years removed, historically speaking, from the Holocaust, its legacy remains with us.

Like the dwindling number of Second World War veterans attending Remembrance Day services, the number of Holocaust survivors still with us today is smaller, but their story remains with us, as it must.

Peter Gary was just 21 when he was liberated from the last of several concentration camps he survived during the course of the war. The unspeakable atrocities remain with him still, but he has found a way to share some of those experiences with generations of young people since.

More than 66,000 young people over the years, by his estimation.

Assuming each of those students likely shared some of what they heard with even one or two other people, what a remarkable impact one man has had.

Now, at 91 years of age, this man who has given so much to so many hopes to see a dream fulfilled – a 500-plus page oratorio he wrote 44 years ago, performed in Jerusalem.

To that end, Oak Bay High students, under the direction of drama teacher Steven Price, will tonight read sections of A Twentieth Century Passion on stage at the school’s Dave Dunnet Community Theatre. The event also marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, Jan. 27, and while admission is free, donations will be accepted toward the Jerusalem performance.

Earlier this afternoon, the University of Victoria also hosts a free special event at University Centre, with speakers, musicians and special guests reminding us both of the terror evil wrought upon the world, and why today, it remains essential that we never forget.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake was more forthcoming a few days earlier, responding to a Vancouver reporter who judged marijuana more interesting than his just-announced plan to hire 1,600 more nurses by the end of March.

Lake noted that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is keen to sell marijuana through the province’s monopoly liquor stores. B.C.’s government liquor store union has also endorsed this idea, forming an unlikely alliance with nonunion private stores to get in on the action.

“There are public health officials that I’ve talked to who say that the co-location of marijuana and liquor sales is not advisable from a public health perspective,” Lake said.

“I think whatever we do it has to be highly regulated, quality control has to be excellent and above all we must protect young people.”

Yes, liquor stores check ID.

But the notion that marijuana might be sold next to beer and vodka in government stores deserves sober second thought, and serious scientific work of the kind that has shown damage to developing brains from teenage marijuana use.

Of course all of this urban hand-wringing over pot stores ignores the de facto legalization that has existed across B.C. for decades.

The Nelson Star had a funny story last week about a local woman’s discovery on Google Earth. Zooming in on area mountains, one finds not only the Purcell landmark Loki Peak, but also Weed Peak, Grow Op Peak, Cannabis Peak and Hydroponic Peak. Whatever the source of this cyberprank, it could also be applied to other regions of B.C. For the record, I’ll restate my long-standing position that legalization is the only logical answer. I’ll say the same about other drugs that drive most B.C. crime, but that’s a subject for another day.

YOUR VIEW ing five communities can collaborate on a smaller facility at McLoughlin Point – one that does not require variances and can be built in full compliance with the Esquimalt bylaw.

Because McLoughlin Point is currently owned by CRD it would be possible to meet the federal deadline that sewage treatment be operational by 2020. All of the new options under consideration require land acquisition and rezoning applications which for multiple sites could take years.

None of them are likely to meet the 2020 deadline. This is a huge risk to the taxpaying citizens.

The prospect for a smaller plant at McLoughlin that meets the federal deadlines should lead the CALWMC to, at the very least, ask its independent Technical Oversight Panel to review the feasibility of using McLoughlin Point in light of the Langford/Colwood initiative and the dramatic rise in costs. This apolitical panel was established to provide the public with a layer of assurance that nothing has been missed or overlooked. They are perfectly placed to provide advice.

In 2014 the new mandate of the CALWMC was to be open to all ideas and options, to look at costs and to make decisions that are best for all CRD taxpayers. If after extensive review of the new options it turns out McLoughlin Point is in fact the best site for sewage treatment, politicians should be open-minded and embrace the findings.

Writer reiterates position on council budget debate

budget was approved by council, not the mayor ...” as another example of how my letter was not factual. Pardon me?

In a council vote, the default vote is ‘yea.’ To abstain, the mayor or councillor must physically leave the room, otherwise their vote is counted as ‘yea’ unless they specifically vote ‘nay.’

Since the mayor did not vote against the provisional 4.86 per cent tax increase, then he voted for it. And that’s a fact.

Re: Weigh in on local issues, but mind the facts, Oak Bay News, Dec. 30 The Dec. 30 Our View editorial (asking writers to “mind the facts”) questioned the facts in my letter of Dec. 25 that we Oak Bayers may be suffering another 5 per cent tax hike in 2016. Although my letter was signed, the editorial was not, so I don’t know where the criticism is coming from.

The editorial corrected my

5 per cent tax number to 4.86 per cent as an example of writers not sticking to the facts. I rounded out the number in my letter.

If city hall had issued a press release about the looming tax hike, they could have specified the exact number, but city hall was silent.

And if there is rounding to be done, please let it be our council rounding the 4.86 per cent down to 0 per cent to give us all a break from continuous tax hikes.

Vision Matters Dr. Neil Paterson

Healthy Eyes.

Doctor Delivered.

Eyesight and safe driving When we drive, we make most of our decisions on the basis of visual cues: the position of other vehicles and pedestrians, traffic lights, signs, hazard warnings etc. Good vision is crucial to safe driving.

Vision for driving involves more than the ability to read the letters on the eye chart (central vision): Peripheral vision, depth perception and colour vision are all important factors which influence our judgment while driving. The Motor Vehicle Branch tests these visual skills when we first apply for a driver’s license. This screening is not a substitute for a full eye examination by a Doctor of Optometry who can prescribe corrective lenses or other treatment, if necessary, and evaluate the health of the eyes.

Our eyes change in subtle and gradual ways as we age. We may not realize our vision has gradually deteriorated to a level that does not meet the legal and safe requirements for operating a motor vehicle.

In many cases, the solution may be as simple as, new prescription lenses.

Glare is a common problem to most drivers when the sun is low in the sky ahead and when the road surface is wet and shiny. Sunglasses may help, along with cleaning your windshield. Another cause of glare may be cataracts, which can develop as we age. This cloudiness in the lenses of the eyes can cause an increase in sensitivity to light in the early stages. Your optometrist can advise you about tinted lenses to reduce glare and continue to counsel you as the cataracts develop.

Regular eye examinations determine if your vision is good enough for safe driving. You owe it to yourself and everyone else on the road to make sure that you are seeing well and reacting to situations as quickly as possible.

Glenlyon Norfolk School encourages students to lead a healthy, active lifestyle with a new state-of-the-art fitness centre.

The Scott Fitness Centre, located at the Pemberton Woods campus on Bank Street, includes spin bikes, treadmills, weight machines and space for yoga, dance, karate and a weight-lifting club.

Prior to renovations, it was a 1932 middle school gym. Now, the multi-purpose centre has the capacity to hold two to three classes of 20 students, along with co-curricular users.

A smart TV also shows students how to plan their fitness workouts and how to use the machines.

The roughly 2,800-square-foot facility is already getting lots of use both during school hours as part of the physical education program, but also before and after school by students trying to stay active.

“The idea of the fitness centre was really to enhance the whole student experience at GNS,” said Glenn Zederayko, head of school.

“This fitness centre is another area where they learn, not only about being healthy and fit, but looking after others and making positive differences that we think will extend into their community work well outside of Victoria, the province and the world.”

The spaces cost roughly $500,000 to renovate and equip over a six-month period. Donations came from families of stu-

dents attending the school.

“Healthy body, healthy mind.

The kids are walking by and they’re so excited,” said Chad Holtum, deputy head of school, who was responsible for fundraising.

“It’s going to benefit every student as part of the physical education program or co-curricular program.”

Zederayko said currently the centre is only open to students, but could potentially open to school alumni and parents in the future.

Glenlyon Norfolk School is an independent school for students in Kindergarten to Grade 12, with campuses in Victoria and Oak Bay. The Pemberton Woods campus has roughly 500 students.

Company C heads Into the Woods Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

Company C turns fairy tales on their ears in its third production of the season.

The Canadian College of the Performing Arts’ third-yearstudent performance company pitches Into the Woods on stage starting Jan. 28.

The Stephen Sondheim play reintroduces classic fairy tale characters just after the “and they lived happily ever after.”

“It’s not the children’s story version,” said Caitlenn Bull, who for this performance works on sets and plays mom for both Jack and Cinderella in the performance.

“The characters all really have these in-depth sides to them.”

Things start rosy and fairytale-like in the first half, said R.J. Peters, production manager and mentor in light design and set design. Then it explores the reality of what the characters’ dreams fulfilled – and the consequences – look like.

“It gets a little dark,” Peters said.

Into the Woods is directed by renowned Canadian actor and director Sara-Jeanne Hosie.

“Sara-Jeanne Hosie is well known. We were thrilled she was able to come and work with our students,” Peters said. “This is Into the Woods like you have never seen it before.”

Hosie’s credits include Godspell (Arts Club in Vancouver), Christine van Reeuwyk/Oak Bay News The Buddy Holly Story (CheCCPA Company C members Helena Descoteau, as Rapunzel mainus Theatre Festival), and My atop the structure, Little Red Riding Hood Kathryn Boyd, Fair Lady (The Blue Bridge RepJack (as in the beanstalk) played by Lina Wahlstrom and his ertory Theatre). mom played by Caitlenn Bull bring Into the Woods to the Sarah Carlé, a local musical stage on Elgin starting Jan. 28. theatre treasure and alum of ers on opposing sides.

IN BRIEF

Textile artist offers [Insert Here] show Award-winning Oak Bay artist Susan Purney Mark’s new solo show is called [Insert Here] Textile Art Inspired by Structure.

Her series focuses on abstract interpretations of structures designed over the past three years. “[Insert Here] really is the title of my show,” says Purney Mark.

“It is meant in part to explain my technique of assembling the fabric. All the fabric in my work begins as white or black, and I apply colour and marks by dyeing, painting or screen printing, she says.

“It’s about building up layers of texture and pattern on the fabric and using it just as an artist uses any other medium.”

great moment for Politics vs the Fourth Estate.

In a tribute to Bennett in 2011, former attorney general Brian Smith said: “Bennett’s personal qualities often were underappreciated during his time in office. He was not a natural orator and television sold him short.

“As a friend and later as a cabinet colleague, I knew him to be warm and funny and ferociously loyal. He did not dump colleagues who were in trouble.

He stuck by them, as his father had done before him.”

Smith recalled that Bennett could also crack the whip when his ministers drifted. “When the cabinet seemed captivated by a large new spending initiative, the premier called for a cabinet vote. Everyone voted for the scheme. Bennett said: ‘Ayes – 21 and Nays – 1. I see the nays have it.’ We all laughed for a long time and the program died.”

In 2007, Bennet received the Order of B.C. He was praised for leading our province through a challenging economic time and left office with the province poised for success in a modern, global economy. Bennett’s legacy has stood the test of time.

He is remembered as a builder and an optimist who always had an upbeat vision for British Columbia.

The family says that donations in Bennett’s memory can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society, Suite 307-1664 Richter St., Kelowna, V1Y 8N3.

More volunteers needed Continued from Page A12

“To be part of a friendly, vibrant community, using their skills and working with people, gives (volunteers) a sense of purpose and adds meaning to their lives in retirement.”

With a membership beyond 2,000, more than 100 spend some of their week volunteering at the centre.

“They make a huge difference here at the Monterey community,” Cobus said. “It keeps

our food services affordable for members, and with food costs on the rise, that’s a concern.”

Monterey needs a few new volunteers for customer service roles, including café helpers, cashiers and Coffee Express attendants.

Volunteers would ideally commit three hours a week, two to four times a month.

Independent Living (IL) communities are for seniors who are completely independent, managing their activities of daily living and seeking ‘hospitality services’ such as meals, laundry, cleaning, social and recreational programs, emergency response, transportation, etc. Their month to month rental suites vary in size and most are equipped with kitchenettes.

Assisted Living (AL) communities offer all of the above as well as, at additional cost, personal care assistance with services such as medication monitoring/reminders, assistance with dressing, bathing, compression stockings, etc. You will find many ‘IL’ communities offer ‘AL’ services as well. Some communities advertise as strictly ‘AL’ communities and some communities offer the full continuum lifestyle : ‘IL’ , ‘AL’ and Complex Care ‘CC’ .

Complex Care (CC) communities are staffed 24/7 with RN’s or LPN’s, RCA’s and other licensed professionals, providing services such as medication administration, bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, prompting/cuing, etc.

‘CC’ communities may be either a one person assist, or, a two person assist with appropriate heavy lift equipment. They may or may not be a locked community. All clients are assessed prior to admittance.

What also bears repeating regularly – be proactive and don’t wait for a crisis!

Healthy Living Requires Healthy Feet!

For close to three decades, Brenda Richardson has helped women step lively on their road to health and wellness.

Celebrating 26 1/2 years as a Jazzercise instructor, including more than 15 years with Jazzercise Oak Bay, a highlight throughout the years has been helping people get – and stay – fit.

“I love sharing my passion for fitness with my customers – I am truly blessed to love what I do,” Brenda says with her contagious smile.

Founded on the belief that exercise is an important aspect of living the best life we can, Jazzercise is also about having fun. With music that makes you want to move and positive, upbeat leaders, fitness is not only possible, but a blast.

And, understanding that staying fit is a mental as well as a physical challenge, “that’s why we’re in this together! The strength we gain in class translates to everyday living where life’s challenges can be faced head-on,” Brenda says.

“Jazzercise is the best program I have experienced. We offer cardio plus strength and stretch – pretty much onestop shopping – all in one hour.”

For those who like to mix it up, or add something different to their usual workout, Jazzercise Oak Bay also offers classes in a variety of formats, including Dance Mixx, Interval Dance Mixx, Interval Fusion, Strength60

and more.

Brenda complements her extensive fitness knowledge and experience with comprehensive wellness education.

“By furthering my education in strength training, personal training, fitness consulting and sports nutrition, I’m able to help my customers be the best they can be,” she says.

Away from the dance floor, Brenda enjoys being active with husband Darrel Richardson, also busy in the local sports scene, and their two dogs, Roman and Jazz, who enjoy walks to local beaches.

Jazzercize Oak Bay gets busy by moving for the community, too. Their many fundraisers have included joining Victoria Jazzercise instructors to raise more than $250,000 for breast cancer over 15 years.

In addition, instructors lead participants in their warmup for the CIBC Run for the Cure, Oak Bay Rotary’s Merrython Fun Run and many others, Brenda notes.

“Our latest was a fundraiser for ALS in support of one of my customers Lisa Ruffolo.”
