While the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre is changing its name and vision for the future, the aquarium still wants to maintain a sense of wonder in the sea life that surrounds the Saanich Peninsula.

Sidney’s aquarium to make a sea change Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre to become Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea, with focus on the bioregion Steven Heywood News staff

Sidney’s Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre is changing its name as it embarks on a voyage to rebrand

itself to meet a new vision that focuses on education about the wildlife, environment, culture and society in what they’re calling the Salish Sea bioregion.

It’s a change a new board of

directors hope will help take the aquarium into the future, yet it’s a return to some of the original ideas and practices the Centre had in place when it opened six years ago.

The new name — Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea — will be officially launched in April, however the work to renovate the interior of the Centre has already begun.

Executive Director Mark Loria

says the term Salish Sea has really caught on — with BC Ferries using the name on some of its new vessels.

Sidney woman grateful to the helpful staff at Panorama

SIDNEY — Dorothy Cuffe of Sidney is eternally grateful to the staff at Panorama Recreation Centre for finding her the stone to her diamond ring.

After getting home from her swimming course, Cuffe noticed her stone was missing and phoned the Centre for their assistance in helping to find it — and that they did.

“Everybody at that complex were wonderful to me,” she said.

Manager of Facilities and Operations, John Goodwin also helped out in finding the missing stone. It was one of his employees, a young man in his twenties that went out of his way to find the stone, finding it in the women’s change room.

“This kid was so honest,” said Cuffe.

The ring itself is 10 years old and Cuffe already had it willed to someone. The stone is currently being remantled at the Jeweller.

“I am so totally grateful.”

He noted this was only the starting point in the budget talks and adjustments will still in all likelihood, be made. The next budget meeting is set for Monday, Feb. 1.

If you’ve ever wondered when the machine revolution would come — an era when machines can replicate themselves — look no further than Sidney’s Revolution 3D Printers.

The local company is certainly not some fictionalized Skynet come to life, but the manufacturer of 3D printers, the brainchild of Founder Warren Strome. The printers are, however, capable of manufacturing a significant amount of their own components.

“Within this space, we actually manufacture, 30 per cent of the part for the printers themselves,” Strome said, addressing a small crowd of guests on the seventh annual Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s Tour of Industry.

Up until four months ago, Strome and a small team worked out of his own basement. They now have space in the West Sidney Industrial area, building 3D printers and providing training for educators and product developers.

Strome himself has a background in aviation and says he has applied those skills to a product he “felt was pretty awesome.” His first machine was built four years ago and the business has been growing ever since.

Within the shop, Revolution’s printers are constantly in motion, using various compounds to create machine parts and even tools. One, a socket wrench, is an example

Steven Heywood/News staff

The seventh annual Tour of Industry — hosted by the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 22 — has become a high profile way for industrial companies, large and small, to lobby local government.

Over the past three tours, issues such as public transportation and taxation have been raised as concerns by business owners.

The most common issue, however, remains affordable housing options for a large, skilled workforce.

While three of the six businesses on this year’s tour did not specifically identify housing as a concern, the other half did, keeping the issue front and centre.

Town of Sidney

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS BYLAWS NO. 2101 AND 2103 Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Town of Sidney will hold Public Hearings in respect of Bylaws No. 2101 and 2103, being the proposed amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 2015 for the Town of Sidney.

All persons who believe that their property is affected by the proposed amending bylaws will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaws at the Public Hearings to be held at the Sidney Town Hall, 2440 Sidney Avenue, Sidney, BC on Tuesday, February 9, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. Written submissions can be received at the Town Hall prior to 4:00 p.m. on February 9, 2016 or at the Public Hearing itself.

The purpose of Bylaw No. 2101 is to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 2015 by rezoning the subject properties from Downtown Commercial (C1) to Comprehensive Development Zone 40 (CD40) to allow for the construction of a 4-storey mixed-use development consisting of ground floor commercial and 11 residential dwelling units, of which 4 units would be “bonus density” as per Section 482 of the Local Government Act. Council is also considering the issuance of a Development Permit and Development Variance Permit in connection with the above noted amendment for the site shown below in Figure 1.

Victoria Distillery to get a facelift Parking and facade changes to boost waterfront area Steven Heywood News staff

Now that the distillery equipment has been delivered to the new location of Victoria Distillery on Sidney’s waterfront, the building it rests in will be getting a facelift.

Grant Rogers, who purchased Victoria Spirits and rebranded and relocated the business, will have the Seaport Place structure refurbished and some of the existing 112 parking spaces reconfigured.

Existing development plans for the site, between the Sidney Pier Hotel and the Port of Sidney Marina, include cladding the distillery section of the building in industrial steel, giving that section a warehouse look. Rogers said the other half — the main public entrance to the distillery and a tasting room — will be covered in cedar shingles. On Monday night, Jan. 25, Rogers asked town council for an additional rezoning and

It will be a covered entry of seven square meters on the west side of the building. The addition, noted staff, would have no impact on parking or Rogers’ planned work to increase the size of the sidewalk along the front of the building.

Rogers also received the green light to remove the existing playground space. It

will be replaced by six parking stalls and a delivery area.

Councillor Barbara Fallot asked Rogers what would happen to the playground equipment, which had been donated to the town by the Sidney-by-TheSea Rotary Club. Rogers noted he contacted the club, whose members were “amenable” to them taking out the equipment. Tim Tanton, Sidney’s Director of

Development Services, Engineering, Parks and Works, said the items are close to the end of their useful lifespan.

Current angle parking stalls in the lot in front of the distillery will be replaced with straight stalls, while some angle parking will be created against the sidewalk on the west side of the building. Two spaces to allow for bus parking will be added.

Inside the distillery, Rogers is creating space for a future lounge area.

He told council he has already applied for a lounge endorsement from the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch.

That would allow the distillery’s tasting room to serve up to 20 per cent of other producers’ alcohol.

Rogers also hinted that he might look at extending the Sidney Pier Hotel’s geothermal utility to the distillery to help cool the stills.

“I’m also interested in working with Town staff on improving the whole waterfront district presence here,” he said, “to create a better sense of place down here.”

He said he hopes such visioning for the area will help strengthen Sidney’s waterfront and attract more visitors.

Sidney council approved all of the changes proposed by Rogers.

Asked when the distillery might have its first Sidney-made batches on the market, Rogers said that could be done in three to four weeks, depending on occupancy and other permit approvals.

He added they plan on officially opening their tasting room on Victoria Day, May 20.

Salish Sea, referring to the ocean surrounding much of southern Vancouver Island, was coined by Dr. Bert Weber, a marine biologist in Washington State. The area is comprised of Puget Sound, the straits of Juan de Fuca and Georgia, all the way to Desolation Sound.

Loria said the Sidney centre hopes to become the world leader on all things about the Salish Sea bioregion, a focal point for locals and visitors alike to learn about not only sea life, but the lives of the indigenous people, local culture and the environment — both at sea and on land.

To that end, Loria said the society that operates the centre is changing its focus.

They will emphasize education, new exhibits and make a commitment to teach people about the area’s First Nations communities.

He added the aquarium will still play a large part of this work and the centre will still be a year-round attraction.

To help the centre reach these goal, Loria said a new board of directors was formed in December. Charles Elliot, a master carver, Order of Canada recipient and Elder from the Tsartlip First Nation is on the board, as is Dr. Andrea Walsh, a visual anthropologist from the University of Victoria. Loria said they will play a big role in advising centre staff on cultural exhibits and educational programs.

Loria said when the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre opened six years ago, it had a strong First Nations contribution.

‘That was part of the

District of North Saanich WATERMAIN FLUSHING NOTICE The District of North Saanich advises residents that flushing of watermains will commence February 8 and continue until May 31, 2016. Watermain flushing occurs annually throughout the District to remove sediment and maintain satisfactory water quality within the distribution system.

Temporary water discolouration and/or low water pressure may occur as a result of this activity. This water discolouration is not a health hazard and may require you to clear your water lines by turning on your cold water tap until the water runs clear.

The Centre’s Orca whale skeleton has already been moved to hover over the kids’ touch tank — making it more visible.

Other changes include expanding exhibit space, increasing flexible seating space and the development of an entirely new logo.

The official name change and launch of the rebranding effort is tentatively set for April 2. Loria said they are planning a ‘Celebration of the Salish Sea’ event, featuring a free public concert and speakers, such as Dr. Weber. More details of the event will be announced closer to the date itself.

Upon request, the District will provide advance warning of flushing in your vicinity for persons with special requirements for water clarity. Please contact the Public Works department at 250-655-5480 if you require advance notification.

The District does not accept responsibility for damages caused by low water volume or the use of discoloured water. We therefore advise consumers to be on the alert for reduced water volume and/or temporary discolouration of water.

Centre shaking things up

N

ever forget your base audience. To do so puts your endeavour in peril.

It’s a lesson that Sidney’s Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre has learned over the last six years as it has struggled to break even. Until last year, the aquarium attraction had not made any money and relied heavily on grants and support from the Town of Sidney and its public and private supporters. Not to mention the many volunteers whose efforts are a credit to the centre — and have been since it opened.

To their credit, the society that operates the not-for-profit aquarium has righted the ship, seen a small surplus in its accounts in 2015 and is now at changing its The Centre looks looking future with a significant to write a new rebranding effort this year.

Instead of remaining story for itself stagnant as a stand alone aquarium, the Centre — now called the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea — is broadening its scope and is looking to become the world authority on the Salish Sea bioregion.

That has the potential to expand the Centre’s reach well beyond Sidney and reach a much larger audience on the Saanich Peninsula — as well as educators, scientists and tourists from further afield. Executive Director Mark Loria says the change this year is already garnering the attention of Tourism Victoria and the Victoria Port Authority They are talking about new ways of getting people out to Sidney and into the Centre.

The Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea is an anchor of the east end of Beacon Avenue — its status as an attraction and the fact that it welcomes around 100,000 people each year, means it will always be supported by the community, as one of many cultural hubs that add to our quality of life.

Without it, the area would lose so much — and the Society’s board of directors realizes this and is making change now to retain the support and interest from people here on the Peninsula.

Residents of Sidney, Central Saanich and North Saanich are the Centre’s base audience. By shaking things up this year, the Centre looks to write a new story for itself, all the while advocating for a unique part of the province and the people who live within the Salish Sea bioregion.

It’s a strong, bold move. One that’s sure to re-ignite people’s interest in our aquarium and marine education centre.

Good information, bad decision I must commend Mr. Bert Slater for his recent excellent letter regarding the ALC decision to allow removal of 4.4 ha of Soil Class 2 land from the ALR for the Gateway project. This is the best class of soil in our area.

The ALC decision fails badly in two important areas: assembling credible evidence for exclusion and objectively assessing all the factors for and against the application to exclude. It does succeed admirably however, in presenting solid evidence for denying the application.

The ALC report begins with a listing of the three key purposes of the Commission: preserving agricultural land; encouraging farming and encouraging the enabling and accommodation of agriculture through local government bylaws. It then reports the soil as Class 2 and notes that the area proposed for exclusion “is comprised of land with good agricultural capability.” That section closes by stating that keeping land in the ALR must remain defensible in the long-term and that several letters were received with respect to the loss of agricultural land, presumably in opposition.

The stated evidence for exclusion is remarkably weak. Inaccurately stating that there is [adjacent?] existing industrial development leads to the completely unscientific statement that, “the Commission does not believe that it has much potential for agriculture.” The adjacent uses are housing to the north, the Pat Bay Highway to the east and

the runway approach to the south.

Finally, the report leans upon earlier decisions which cite the same flaccid argument. Referring to previous flawed evidence hardly adds credibility to this decision.

The ALC Island Regional Panel has completely failed to assess this application objectively. All British Columbians should be alarmed at this shameful lack of rigour.

Unrealistic numbers Sidney Mayor Steve Price, commenting on Victoria Distillers’ new location, stated: “It’s going to employ 15 to 20 people” and “bring 90,000 people into Sidney each year.” Really?

Two hundred and fifty more visitors a day, every day!?

I hope that Mayor Price defers to others whose numbers are more realistic when the town determines the mil rate on which to tax us.

Ralph Hayes Sidney

Anyone listening?

What’s happening in Sidney?

Nothing good, from the look of letters to the editor.

Do I want to relocate? Not until the mayor and council address several issues that appear to be ongoing in this community.

The Mayor’s Town Talk of January 2016 states: “The direction is clearly laid out for us in our Official Community Plan and subset Local Area Plan.” I urge you to read both documents to form your own opinions, but I say, say no to bonus density and say no to rezoning.

Is anyone listening to the electorate of the town? I think not.

The Canadian Cancer Society’s Tracie Clayton (L) and Slegg Building Materials’ owner Doug Skrepnek show off a cheque for $100,000 presented to the CCS on Jan. 27, 2016.

Slegg’s Give Back campaign raises the bar Arnold Lim News staff

LANGFORD — One Greater Victoria-based company has found a way to turn $35,000 into $100,000.

On Wednesday at their store in Langford, Slegg Building Materials presented the Canadian Cancer Society with its largest-ever single donation from an independent fund-raising event on Vancouver Island. After taking one per cent of gross sales with cash or debit over a five-month period, they almost tripled it to commit the six-figure gift.

“I lost my grandfather, my grandmother, my father and my father-in-law (to cancer), and my wife is a cancer survivor,” said Slegg owner Doug Skrepnek. “So seeing my wife survive the disease gives us some hope that many others will, but it has got to start with money, so we have got to donate.”

From August through December 2015, Slegg’s inaugural Give Back campaign took place at its 13 locations on the Island. Skrepnek said company staff were integral to the cause, donating their time and energy at various functions including picnics, luncheons and pancake breakfasts to continue the fundraising.

Canadian Cancer Society spokesperson Tracie Clayton said donations of this size are few and far between, with the next closest she’s seen being approximately $70,000.

“I am touched by this, (it’s) a pretty grand gesture really …

Collectively last year on Vancouver Island, we raised somewhere just shy of $200,000 from independent fundraising events,” she said. “So now we’re talking about $100,000 from one group – that is half, that is 50 per cent.

The impact in this market across Vancouver Island is mind-blowing.”

Lowest rates in decades.

Clayton said the donation will help fund numerous Society initiatives including the Relay for Life and Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, and would be far reaching into all facets of the Canadian Cancer Society’s mandates.

For his part, Skrepnek said it is all about moving forward one day and one dollar at a time.

“I hope that other

companies, not only on the Island but across the country, will take reflection on how this disease affects them and join the cause,” he said. “My wife is a survivor, and so will be many other people that wouldn’t have been otherwise. (Lets) support the cause, kill the disease, get rid of it from the planet.”

❑ CALL OR MEET with the Mayor and Councillors. ❑ MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL – ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING at Town Hall, Tuesday, February 9, 7:00 pm.

After knocking on more than 100 neighbourhood doors, we can confidently say there is literally NO local support for this rezoning. NO SUPPORT as in none, zero, zilch! Frequent rezoning is happening all over Sidney, often to the detriment of existing home owners. We are for growth that considers surrounding buildings, neighbourhood character and traffic/parking issues. Residents are really angry with Council for not listening to their legitimate concerns. Send Council a message. We want a level playing field when it comes to planning decisions which affect us.

PLEASE COME TO THE PUBLIC HEARING AND IF YOU CAN, STAND UP AND SPEAK. JUST SAY NO!!!!

Sidney resident Judith Moscovitz is facilitating a development and densification meeting for the public this Sunday.

Her interest was sparked when a resident knocked on her door with a petition, saying people were angry over new developments happening in Sidney. She was also asked by an individual what she thought should be the priority for Sidney.

Her answer? For tem-

pers to be cooled and people talking to each other rather than about each other.

“Let’s get rid of the anger, lets just express ourselves and get the show on the road,” she told the PNR. Moscovitz said the meeting is a chance for people to talk about their issues with Sidney, particularly in relation to densification and development, an

issue that’s been quite prominent as of late.

“I think people don’t feel heard,” she said.

She has invited Sidney Mayor Steve Price, members of council, realtors and developers to come out along with the public to discuss their frustrations.

Moscovitz will facilitate the meeting and allow people to speak and ask questions to those who may have

answers.

“I want it to be an all community meeting where people can civilly express their views.”

She said that not everyone will go away happy, but that they can move on.

The meeting is at the Mary Winspear’s Charlie White Theatre this Sunday from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

Chevy Bolt EV

Faraday Future

Visit the gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

The automotive near future will be electric Las Vegas, NA – The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) traditionally has been the place to showcase new, exciting technologies.

CES also runs a week before the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. Of the two shows, the Vegas show is gaining in importance to the auto industry because the new, younger car buyers are demanding the technology that they are used to using in their smartphone.

But CES is also about showcasing technology that we will all be using one day.

The Chevrolet Bolt concept was first shown last year at NAIAS but the full-blown production car was unveiled here in the desert by none other than GM’s chairwoman Mary Barra. This is a full electric compact hatchback that will

go into production by the end of 2016.

Though final details remain unconfirmed, it is known that the Bolt will take a full charge overnight and be able to run up to 320 km before the need to plug it in again. In addition, the Bolt will be able to charge 80 per cent of its battery in half an

hour when plugged into a high voltage charger. The price has not been finalized but GM expects the Bolt to start at US$37,000, so expect to pay more in Canada.

There were huge crowds around the latest entry into the all-electric car race, Faraday Future.

This brand new company wants to change the way we think about electric cars and to do so it rolled out a concept called FF Zero1.

This 1000hp electric superhero machine has a single seat and a bubble canopy.

It claims that they will be challenging everything we know about transportation but proof is in the details. This California based Car Company, with funding from China is hinting at an electric SUV to come soon, but as we have witnessed from

Tesla and its teething problems, I’ll believe it when I see it, let alone drive it!

The car that caught my eye was the Toyota Kikai concept that was making its North American debut. The wonderful thing about this futuristic car is that it has many design elements from cars of the past. The suspension, engine and structure of the Kikai are exposed, kind of like hotrods from the 1950s. The futuristic part of the car is the seamless way it all comes together and beautifully crafted.

Volkswagen showcased a concept van called Budd-e.

With intuitive connections between the vehicle and the driver, the Budd-e will be able to detect hand gestures to change controls inside the car, no need for knobs or dials.

In addition, the driver only needs to say “hello Budd-e”, the same way Android users can say “Okay Google” to access things on a smartphone. VW claims that this van is all electric and capable of running up to 500km on a single charge.

The body is built on VW’s modular architecture, so it could actually be put into production…someday.

VW’s cousin brand Audi showed the etron electric vehicle, soon to be built on the new Audio Q6 platform. This car is confirmed for the 2018 model year.

This is a mid-sized crossover vehicle that will challenge the Tesla Model X for luxury buyer’s attention.

With 500km of pure electric range and 496hp going to all four wheels, this e-

tron will be the first all-electric SUV from

a German manufacturer.

From Feb. 5 to 11, the Victoria Film Festival (which itself runs Feb. 5 to 14) will be making its way to Sidney for year two at Star Cinema. With 12 films shown over the week, there will also be a variety of special guests in attendance as well.

“We’re just excited to return back to Sidney. There was a really good response last year so obviously people in Sidney and North Saanich are interested in the festival and it’s nice for them because they don’t have to make the journey into town ...” said Communications Co-ordinator for the Festival, Fulya Ozkul.

Last year was the first year the Festival came to Sidney. They had tried it years ago in Langford, but Ozkul said there just wasn’t the response they were looking for. She said with the Festival reaching out to Sidney, everyone really enjoyed it. People can even get a Sidney pass

Gurr opens for Byrnes on Feb. 5 Carlie Connolly News staff

Brentwood Bay native Babe Gurr will be making her way to Sidney in early February as the guest performer opening for Canadian blues man Jim Byrnes.

Living these days in Vancouver, Gurr spent her high school years on the Island, but moved all over the place as her father was in the Air Force until she was 12. She still considers the Saanich Peninsula her hometown even though she hasn’t lived here for many years.

She met Byrnes years ago when he had his own television show in the late ‘90s. Gurr was a guest on the show. The two were also at the same Canada Day celebration and met again later at a singer/songwriter mini tour.

“So we’ve done quite a few gigs with each other on and off over the years,” she told the PNR. Gurr will be at the Charlie White theatre with a three piece, stripped-down band — Adam Popowitz on guitar and Steve Hilliam on sax. The group will be pulling songs from the various CDs Gurr has put out over the years, which she says is a blend of roots blues and world beat.

Gurr said she began playing

Brentwood Bay native Babe Gurr opens for Jim Byrnes on Feb. 5 at the Mary Winspear Centre. guitar when she was sent off for some classical guitar lessons at 12. She said she learned from a man who used to live down the road.

“But it wasn’t really my thing, classical guitar. I’m really glad I got some training because it really did help with the finger picking techniques but my heart was really in rock and roll.”

After quitting the lessons, she fumbled her way through until she was around 25 and got into her first band, a jazz pop ensemble. From there, she got into bands playing Top 40, funk and jazz, but didn’t start writing her own material until she was in college.

Her more recent album Hearts Up To The Sun was released in 2014 which she said is a con-

Local FARE Advertising Feature

cise version of the title of the tune that inspired it: Throw Our Hearts Up To The Sun. “It was inspired by just spending one too many rainy winters in Vancouver; rainy, rainy, rainy, grey winter and thinking “I need some sunlight, I need to get me some sunlight,” she said with a laugh.

She then travelled down to California and New Mexico, where the album cover image was taken.

Gurr said the album is a little bit deceiving as the title sounds like it’s going to be all upbeat tunes, but that’s not the case.

She said it’s a combination of world beat music with commentary on politicians, people in mid-life crisis and, yes, even about being in the sunshine.

“It’s a wide swath. I’m always inspired by so many various things that I either hear, see or experience myself.”

Gurr recently performed at the Deep Cove Shaw Theatre in Vancouver with a seven piece band, which she said was a lot of fun. She is now gearing up for some more recording and will be doing some more writing and will see where it goes from there.

Gurr performs Feb. 5 at the Mary Winspear Centre. Tickets can still be purchased by calling the box office at 250-6560275.

Local film roundup Continued from page 12

A film with local ties and a global connection is the documentary Lost and Found, which is about the 2011 Japanese tsunami and the debris that washed up on the pacific northwest coastline. Directors John Choi and Nicolina Lanni will be at both screenings.

Canadian director Patricia Rozema of Into the Forest will be coming out from Toronto.

The film is about a widowed father and his children who are forced to figure out how to sustain and protect themselves in what appears to be a permanent blackout.

Al Purdy Was Here, a film celebrating the life of Canadian poet Al Purdy. Fifteen years after his death, the film touches on his impact on a young generation of Canadian poets, writers and singers. Director Brian D. Johnson will be in attendance.

Director Ryan McKenna of The Heart of Mrs. Sabali/ Le Coeur De Madame Sabali will be in town. His film centres on a woman with a severe heart condition which keeps her trapped in a suburb of Montreal.

The opening gala film, My Internship in Canada, will see one of the actors, Irdens Exantus, here. The film follows a Haitian who navigates his way through the world of Canadian politics alongside MP and former hockey player Steve Guibord, as he becomes the deciding vote in a move to declare war.

Director of The Steps, Andrew Currie and actor Benjamin Arthur will be in attendance.

It’s a story of a clash between two families and many situations that follow.

Of the 12 films, there are guests for over half of them.

DEATHS

DEATHS

Doreen Judge (nee Taylor) February 8, 1923 – January 18, 2016 Doreen was born and raised in Leeds, Yorkshire, England and lived there until she emigrated to Sidney in 2012 to live with her daughter Angela, and son in law Keith. She was a cherished mum to Angela (Keith), loving sister to Gladys, very special Aunty to Ann (Roger), fun Great Aunty, Great Great Aunty, “Grandma� and special friend to many. She was loving, kind, generous and loyal, with a mischievous sense of humour. She always saw the good in the world and she will be sadly missed by us all.

The family would like to say a special thank you to the staff on 3D at Oak Bay Kiwanis Pavilion for their patience, kindness and sense of humour towards Doreen over the past two months.

Flowers are gratefully declined. If so desired, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of British Columbia, Minds in Motion Programme, through which Doreen and Angela met some very special people.

A celebration of Doreen’s life will be held at Shoal Centre on Monday, February 8th (which would have been her 93rd birthday) at 2 p.m. We will wear pink and/or our best and shiniest shoes and remember this beautiful lady.

HomeFinder Find a place to call home

Housing affordability tax floated by profs Jeff Nagel Black Press

VANCOUVER — A housing affordability surcharge is being proposed as a way to redistribute money from investment property owners – including foreigners and other owners of vacant homes – to other residents in the same participating city.

The UBC and SFU business professors behind the idea say it would be a modest step to restrain the upward spiral of house prices in hot real estate markets.

More importantly, they say, it would spur investors to rent out now-vacant homes rather than merely using B.C. residential real estate as a place to park money.

The proposal for the B.C. Housing Affordability Fund would create a 1.5 per cent tax on the assessed value – a $1 million home would be charged $15,000 per year.

Local, B.C. buyers purchasing most homes Sidney Notary Laurie Salvador says foreign buyers not making a significant dent Don Descoteau News staff

Foreign buyers may have less of an impact on B.C.’s housing market than previously thought, according to a report from B.C. Notaries.

In November, the society surveyed 133 of its members on key real estate topics, including the perceived influx of foreign buyers. The report found that only five per cent of all residential real estate transactions managed

by B.C. Notaries across the province were from foreign buyers.

The report’s release comes as the provincial government considers taking measures to combat the high cost of housing in B.C. “Our survey results, which indicate that the vast majority of real estate purchases in B.C. are made by B.C. or Canadian residents, point to the need for careful consideration of any related legislative changes,” B.C. Notaries president Tammy Morin Nakashima said in a statement.

While the report shows foreign buyers making up seven per cent of residential sales in Greater Vancouver, Island-based notaries reported only two per cent of their transactions came from such buyers.

Additionally, while foreign buyers made up more than half of the clients for a few notaries in the Lower Mainland, the 20 notaries surveyed on the Island said foreign buyers made up no more than 10 per cent of their business.

“We haven’t seen a marked increase at all in foreign buyers,” Laurie Salvador, a

PNR file photo

Sidney Notaries Laurie Salvador, left, and Lisa Ehrlich of Salvador Davis. Salvador says home prices on the Island are on the upswing due to issues of supply and demand — and a recent lull in development in the region.

Q: WHO’S BUYING HOMES IN CANADA? A report commissioned for the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals, A Profile of Home Buyers in Canada, was released this past June. It stated that of the roughly 620,000 households purchasing a residential property in an average year, approximately 45 per cent are first-time buyers, most between 25 and 34.

The next largest group, at about 33 per cent, is made up of buyers purchasing their third home or more – not surprisingly concentrated in the 45 to 64 age range – while roughly 20 per cent of households were buying for a second time.

The report said single-detached homes accounted for the largest share of the purchased, about 57 per cent. Semi-detached homes (duplexes) and row homes (townhomes) combined for about 19 per cent, the same amount as condominiums.

While incomes ranged widely among home buyers, it’s interesting to note that those earning $40,000 or less accounted for about six per cent of the sales. It’s a sign that people considered to be in the lower range of the middle class income brackets can still afford to buy. notary with Salvador Davis and Company in Sidney.

“We generally have maybe

just a handful a year – maybe under six – and that hasn’t changed in many years.”

According to the report, the Island’s housing market has more in common with

the Fraser Valley or the Okanagan, with lower foreign ownership compared to Vancouver. But despite the small numbers, 39 per cent of island notaries reported an increase in foreign buyers, not far off the 42 per cent bump seen by Greater Vancouver notaries.

Nonetheless, Salvador said the provincial average of five per cent shows that foreign sales are not making a significant dent in B.C. real estate markets.

“If it’s five per cent, that means 95 per cent of the people either live in British Columbia or somewhere else in Canada, and that says a lot about the health of our economy and the desire to live in British Columbia,” she said.

Salvador attributed the ongoing increase of house prices on the Island to such factors as a lull in development over the last five to seven years, creating an issue of supply and demand.

She noted the low ownership numbers should be studied by the provincial government as it determines if legislation is appropriate to address housing affordability.

“When we’re talking about government possibly imposing taxes for that, I’m sure they will discuss this with all the various players and make a wise decision if they feel that’s necessary,” she said.

“We certainly don’t want to discourage people that can afford to purchase in British Columbia. I think what people are afraid of is that those buyers are driving up prices, but I don’t think that’s the case at all.”

PUBLIC NOTICE

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN NUISANCE MOSQUITO CONTROL The purpose of Pest Management Plan (PMP) No. 825-0003-16/21 is to reduce overall mosquito annoyance within the District of Central Saanich, Tsawout First Nations and Capital Regional District lands by controlling larval development with an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. The PMP focuses on larval mosquito control initiatives and uses public education, physical site modification and biological controls, including the use of non-persistent, bacterial larvicides to reduce larval mosquito populations.

The proposed duration of this PMP is from 21 June 2016 to 20 June 2021. Larvicide products proposed for use include Vectobac 200G, which contains the naturaloccurring soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, (PCP #18158) and VectoLex (PCP # 28008, 28009) made with the related bacterium Bacillus sphaericus.

Both of these products provide species-specific control of mosquito larvae and are non-toxic to organisms including fish, birds, amphibians, other wildlife, man and domestic animals.

Mosquito larvae require stagnant or non-flowing waters, temporary or permanent, to develop. Local habitats include salt marshes and freshwater marshes, ponds and ditches. When physical alterations (draining, filling) of habitats to limit larval development are neither practical or desirable, mosquito larvae will be treated using VectoBac or VectoLex larvicides. Total area for larvicide treatment is not to exceed 50 hectares of public lands in each year of the PMP. Applications of Vectobac 200G and VectoLex CG will be made using ground-based, hand-broadcast or motorized backpack applicator methods. All applications will be conducted within the boundaries of the District of Central Saanich, including the Tsawout First Nations and Capital Regional District.

This Pest Management Plan is being prepared by D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd., an environmental services firm with extensive experience in pest management plan development and local mosquito control operations for the District of Central Saanich and its program partners, the Tsawout First Nation and Capital Regional District. Information on proposed treatment areas, annual mosquito control program operations and this PMP are available to the public by request through D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd. 20619 – 91A Avenue, Langley, BC V1M 2X2 (604) 881-4565, Facsimile (866) 759-5902, or email; dgra@telus.net. For VectoBac or Vectolex product information please see the manufacturers website www.valentbiosciences. com A person wishing to contribute information regarding a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of this Pest Management Plan, may send copies of the information to D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd. (agents for the District of Central Saanich, Tsawout First Nations and Capital Regional District) at the contact addresses above within 30 days of the publication of this notice. The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in response to this notice and application will become part of the public record.

Glen Meadows Masters Bonspiel next week Carlie Connolly News staff

The annual Glen Meadows Masters Bonspiel is fast approaching. Sponsored by the Glen Meadows Master (age 55-plus) Curling League, it will run for four days from Feb. 9 to 12.

There are 32 teams — or 128 curlers — set to compete.

Out of that, 18 of the four person teams are from southern Vancouver Island, including the Duncan, Esquimalt and Juan de Fuca curling clubs.

Fourteen teams are from the host club (Glen Meadows).

“Our players do very well,” said Barry Hodgkin, this year’s bonspiel chairmen and the first vice president on the executive.

In an email to the PNR, Hodgkin said teams all start in the A event and winning teams will remain in this premiere category and, depending on the number of losses, teams will move down into either the B, C or D events. The final championship games in all four of the events will begin on Feb. 13, with the final ceremony taking place that day as well.

Take your first step to the international stage!

Applications now being accepted for Miss Teen BC, Miss BC & Mrs BC! To apply visit your community newspaper website and click on contests.

Carlie Connolly/News staff

The men’s league practices for the upcoming Glen Meadows Bonspiel Feb. 9 to 12.

“Its a great game, lots of fun.

We do a lot of work with the juniors here ...” said Hodgkin.

Entry to the bonspiel is open to men, women and mixed teams, age 55-plus.

Hodgkin said some of the male curlers have been members since the opening of Glen

Meadows in the early 1980s.

The public, he added, are always welcome to attend the event.

After the bonspiel, the Pacific Coast Masters Curling Association (PCMCA) will hold their final play downs, with participants from all over

NE

the Island.

This year Glen Meadows has been selected to be the host rink for the South Island Zone. Hodgkin said he suspects two to three teams from Glen Meadows will take part in the play down.

More details to come.
