Michael Dunahee case remains unsolved after 25 years Sister recalls growing up without a brother she never knew Pamela Roth Victoria News
As a young child, Caitlin Dunahee would often go across the hallway into her older brother’s room to play with his assortment of toys.
His room in the family’s new home had a dark brown captain’s bed with drawers on the bottom filled with toy cars and Lego. Her brother, however, had never been in the room. Caitlin was six months old when her four-year-old brother Michael disappeared from the playground of the former Blanshard Elementary School shortly after noon on March 24, 1991. His mother,
Crystal was tying her cleats in preparation for a flag football game at the field while his father Bruce was standing metres away, checking the score of a previous game. Michael headed to a nearby playground within view of his parents, but when Bruce looked over his son was gone. The flag football game immediately ground to a halt as players scoured the area. Michael is still missing
Michael Dunahee after 25 years. “I always knew I had a brother that wasn’t there. He was in the pictures everywhere
around the house,” said Caitlin. “Every day I would leave my room and would see his stuff, his room and just wonder.” Growing up, Caitlin never realized there was anything different about her family until elementary school. Her peers started asking questions about her missing brother and sometimes she’d appear in the media when her parents pleaded for tips.
Whenever Caitlin went to a friend’s house down the street, her mother would stand outside watching, then have her phone when she arrived. She also noticed that her curfew was a lot earlier than the rest her friends. As Caitlin got older, people began recognizing her as the sister of the NEWmissing PRICE boy who’s pictures were splashed across the news. It made
her uncomfortable, prompting her to stay out of the lime light and hold onto her own identity as long as she possibly could. Looking back, Caitlin has a lot of good childhood memories, with her mother doing everything she could to make her happy during such an emotional time. PlEASE SEE: Case moving forward, Page A3

City moves ahead with revitalization project at Ship Point Kendra Wong Victoria News
The City of Victoria is moving forward with a project it hopes will revitalize Ship Point during the upcoming tourism season. As part of the Ship Point design competition, the city is asking a team to design, build and install a temporary or “pop up” public space in the area immediately north of the Inner Harbour. Designs will be judged based on five criteria, including social interaction, aesthetics, functionality, sustainability and
feasibility. The project is meant to revitalize the area and make it “a more vibrant, unique, memorable and welcoming space that will encourage people to socialize, explore and wander,” according to a report. Staff have pegged the project at $45,000, to be allocated from the downtown core area public realm improvement reserve fund. The winning team will receive a $5,000 award and up to $35,000 for the construction, installation and de-installation of the temporary design. The budget for the project is based on similar projects in cities such as Surrey,
Vancouver, Winnipeg and Toronto. “We don’t know what it is yet. It will be an exciting process to hear from the artistic community here,” said Coun. Jeremy Loveday. Geoff Young was the only councillor to vote against the project. “This is money badly spent that should be spent on proper planning for this site,” he said. “I think we should put money toward a planning process that would recognize economic realities and the value of the site . . . this is just putting lipstick on the pig.” Registration for the competition
will open this month, with the winner announced in June. The design will be installed in July and taken down in October, following the tourism season. Council also floated the idea of keeping the design up after October for locals to use as well. Ship Point is one of Victoria’s larger outdoor performance venues with Blues Bash, the TD Victoria International Jazz Festival, the Victoria International Busker’s Festival and the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival using the space in the summer. kendra.wong@vicnews.com
“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of BC
Now more than ever, this project makes sense for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we receive the most from our natural resources at a time when our economy needs it most. The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow Canadian oil to be delivered to international markets and, as a result, Canada will earn approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil. By realizing full value, everyone will benefit. In addition, the expansion will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

Police maintain historical case is moving forward Continued from Page A1
But as she got older, Caitlin began to speculate what happened and wondered what it would be like if Michael ever came back home. “I feel like she (mother) poured everything she had into me, but just kind of always being in that shadow, I knew there was something else on their mind,” she said. “There was always this other thing looming over me and knowing that there was an older brother that wasn’t there, who was on my parents mind, not just me, it was weird.” On the afternoon Michael disappeared, police swarmed the area to search for the young boy last seen wearing a blue-hooded jacket with red lining and red cuffs, a teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles T-shirt, multi-coloured rugby pants and blue sneakers. Given his background with major files, Victoria police Insp. Keith Lindner was brought in from patrol to help with the investigation. Police

Caitlin Dunahee and her older brother Michael, who went missing shortly after noon on March 24, 1991. were overwhelmed with the amount of information they were trying to process. It was organized mayhem, Lindner recalled, with dozens of determined officers searching for any trace of Michael’s whereabouts. “I got a little corner with a phone and tried
to focus on doing what I was tasked to do,” said Lindner, who was assigned to follow up on a tip about a possible brown van involved in Michael’s disappearance, but it didn’t go anywhere. “You can’t let stuff frustrate you...I got a stack of tips and I went through them all, logged
them and followed up what I could.” As the months turned into a year, Lindner struggled to grasp how a child could vanish without a trace from the safe and sleepy City of Victoria. He also had become a parent himself, bringing more emotion to the investigation.
These days Lindner is in charge of the division that holds the file, which he maintains is still active and open, receiving tips especially whenever another anniversary rolls around. But the hunt continues to find a definitive answer of what happened to Michael. It’s a question that’s haunted detectives who’ve worked on the case for years. “We’re making progress because we’ve been able to eliminate a lot of things that didn’t happen...I think we’re moving forward,” said Lindner, noting the investigation is the most complex he’s ever been involved with in 30 years, and the only unsolved case in Victoria involving a child. “It is heartbreaking we can’t go to Crystal and Bruce and give them answers about their son. But when you talk about the resilience that they’ve shown, I have the utmost respect. I can’t imagine going through that as a parent.” Although 25 years
has passed, the family remains hopeful Michael is still alive and one day they will know what happened to the little boy with blue-eyes and dirty blonde hair. On a weekly basis, Caitlin still thinks about the brother who would have turned 30 this May.

She runs a Facebook page in memory of Michael, sharing tributes and posting information about annual events. The page has now reached more than 7,000 people. The more people that know Michael’s story, the closer the family feels towards finding closure. “The last 25 years of my parents’ life have been destroyed.

Dockside Green the new home for urban agriculture Tim Collins Victoria News
Last year, Chris Hildreth graduated from the University of Victoria and hit the ground running with a dream of bringing a unique, sustainable concept to Victoria’s local food economy. He used money that he’d won in business competitions at UVic to mount a pilot project on the rooftop of 1001 Blanshard St. where he grew produce in 400 environmentally friendly planters — produce that was used by Fiamo Italian Kitchen. The project was an overwhelming success. “We produced about 10 times more food than we’d anticipated,” said Hildreth. “At the end of the season we knew that we had a winner on our hands and this year’s expansion was made possible.” With his Blanshard Street location now unavailable because of construction, Hildreth sought out a new,
expanded location and found the perfect partner at Dockside Green. Dockside Green is contributing 9,000 square feet of vacant land to the project. It’s part of their BETA Project — an initiative to establish a portion of Dockside Green as a testing ground for small, local businesses as well as arts and cultural initiatives. The much larger site will be home for 2,400 of the smart pots — containers full of composted soil in which a variety of vegetables will be planted for use by local restaurants. When harvested, the material will be washed and placed in reusable containers, which will then be moved by bicycles to the participating restaurants. “It’s a zero carbon footprint operation,” said Hildreth. “And when you have a salad at one of the participating restaurants you’ll know that the food you’re
eating is fresh…picked a few blocks away in the last 24 hours. Compare that with the large majority of food that we
currently consume that travels large distances through very complex distribution systems. This is really a better
alternative…the way of the future.” The participating restaurants for this year’s crop are Canoe
Brewpub, Spinnakers Gastro Brew Pub, and Fiamos Italian Kitchen. Hildreth anticipates that the first crop from
his urban farm will be delivered to restaurants on April 22, which is also Earth Day. editor@vicnews.com

Victoria council mulls new Clover Point sewage plan CRD to meet with Fairfield/Gonzales land-use committee Pamela Roth Victoria News
Some councillors with the City of Victoria are surprised to see Clover Point now pegged as one of the two possible sites for a sewage treatment plant. But after a lengthy debate last week, the majority of councillors agreed to request a meeting between the CRD (Capital Regional District) and the Fairfield/Gonzales Community Association land-use committee (CALUC) to hear what the community has to say. Mayor Lisa Helps, who is also the chair of the CRD’s Core Area Liquid Waste Advisory Committee (CALWAC), said the district needs an indication from the neighbourhood on whether they are willing to consider being part of the conversation for a facility at Clover Point. Some councillors were hesitant to support anything since they hadn’t had a chance to digest the CRD’s new plan, but Helps assured the decision to go ahead with a community meeting does not set anything in stone. “All our land-use chair wants is the CRD to go and meet with them (CALUC) and have an initial conversation,” said Helps, noting Clover Point was once on the list of potential sites for a sewage facility when council put it forward as a suggestion. “I think it is false that Clover Point has not been considered and in fact we have had a formal, very robust round of consultation to show that.” Last week, the CRD selected McLoughlin Point and Clover Point as the two sites to explore building two secondary or tertiary sewage treatment plants, which comes with an estimated price tag of around $1 billion. The province has also now waded into the matter by offering to help the region find a solution and facilitate a way to move forward. According to CRD staff, a sewage treatment plant at Clover Point would be constructed underground so it’s out of sight from the public just like the pump station currently there
now. Construction would likely take a couple years, which raised concerns from Victoria councillors about public access during that time. Coun. Geoff Young, who’s also a CALWAC director, is opposed to the idea and told his colleagues by voting for it, they are building a cage. “I think that the impacts on the neighbourhood will be significant and I think we are going to have a lot of concern from neighbours,” said Young, adding the public also hasn’t had a chance to think about what’s now being proposed at Clover Point. “This is not a simple motion,
“I think that the impacts on the neighbourhood are going to be significant and I think we are going to have a lot of concern from neighbours.” - Geoff Young
this is a motion that’s moving this council to this direction and I think it’s a very bad direction to go.” The plan will also be submitted to Esquimalt council for discussion. Nearly two years ago, Esquimalt rejected a plan for a single site at McLoughlin, citing concerns with the environmental impact and size of the facility. The township’s Mayor Barb Desjardins, however, is now in favour of exploring the new plan and hearing what the private sector has to offer. “I am hearing from residents that, given the right circumstances, to reconsider. I think the fact that this is not a single site option is really important as part of that discussion,” she said, adding she’s still frustrated with how McLoughlin wound up back on the table after Esquimalt shut that door. “It is not by the community bringing it forward, but by default of the CRD. It comes back as somewhat heavy handed again and that’s really not the way to go about the process.” Both Helps and Desjardins will head to Ottawa at the end of the month to meet with federal ministers about the CRD’s plan for a sewage treatment facility. editor@vicnews.com

A Shawnigan Lake man is attempting to piece his life back together after losing everything in a recent fire. Ric Munro and his partner Carole Stanley’s belongings were destroyed when a fire ripped through their cabin last Tuesday morning. Munro, who has been delivering papers for Black Press for the past 27 years, was at home having coffee and listening to the radio when he smelled smoke. The smoke alarm soon triggered in his bedroom. He ran into his bedroom to see flames shooting out of the ceiling by the top of his closet. Munro attempted to put out the fire with an extinguisher and garden hose, but soon realized it was too late. In a panic, Munro managed to save his three guitars. Everything else such as musical equipment, cash and sentimental items, were lost in the fire. He also tried to find his cats, but their fear sent them into hiding. “It was my home,” he said. “I was like a

Rob Patterson, fire chief of the Malahat Fire Department, said within a few seconds of crews arriving, the cabin became
engulfed in flames. Crews managed to contain the fire and let it extinquish itself because the home is outside of the fire deparatment’s area of coverage. “It was a tragedy for him,” said Patterson, speculating the old, unlined concrete chimney was the cause of the fire.

Black Press is also providing accomodation to the duo. “I just wanted to thank everybody that stepped up and helped us out,” Munro said. But there is a positive end to the story.

The Dunahee family needs answers A lot has happened in the last 25 years. Another generation has grown up, graduated from university, fallen in love, and started a family. Most people now have a computer in their pocket in the form of a cell phone, changing the way we communicate with one another, and terrorism has become a regular word in the daily news. A lot has also happened in the lives of the Michael Dunahee family, but one thing that remains unchanged is the question: what happened to the four-year-old boy who disappeared from the playground of the former Blanshard Elementary School shortly after noon on March 24, 1991 while his father was standing just metres away? Michael is a boy everyone has heard of, but few have ever met. His sister, Caitlin was only six months old when he disappeared. She has no memory of the older brother she never got to know, other than playing with toys in a room Michael never had a chance to play in himself. Losing a loved one is hard enough, but never knowing what happened to them is a feeling few of us will ever know or can even fathom. Imagine if your mother, brother or child went missing and 25 years later you still had no idea what happened to them. Life would never be the same. The Dunahee family has continued on with life as best as they possibly can. The resilience they’ve shown throughout the years has helped detectives working on the case push forward. But somebody out there knows something and has yet to come forward. A four-year-old boy can’t vanish on his own in Victoria. It’s time for the Dunahee family to get some answers, but that can’t be done without help from the public.

Coleman assured us it hasn’t happened in Abbotsford or Maple Ridge, where tent camps have finally been cleaned up after shelters and housing were provided. The next day, he was asked if transitional accommodations would be sufficient to end the camp. “They’re not actually all that transitional,” Coleman replied. “We’ll take Mount Edwards through a zoning process. We’ve got about 100 beds there. We’ve bought the building so it’s hardly transitional. We’ve permanently done that.” Fast forward to March 11. The 38 Mount Edwards spaces are full, another 40 rooms and camping spaces at a former youth custody centre are almost full, and the province applies for a court order to clear the Victoria camp. A representative of the advocacy group Together Against Poverty Society goes on local radio to pledge legal support for the campers. How many are there now? At least 100, he says. Meanwhile in Maple Ridge, where the “homeless” problem is all fixed, Coleman has just extended temporary shelter funding and paid $5.5 million for a 61-room motel to fix it some more. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: tfletcher@blackpress.

a thought bubble thinking about the Highway of Tears. It also includes blue tears with the faces of the 19 missing women and 20 empty tears representing unidentified women who have gone missing on the highway, and stencils saying “No more stolen sisters.” Inside the silhouette is a multi-coloured brain representing LGBTQ, anxiety, depression and mental health issues. The Vic High students, paired with Fairfield artist Valarie Salez, said they wanted to focus specifically on the Highway of Tears, a notorious stretch of highway between Prince George to Prince Rupert where more than 30 aboriginal women have gone missing. “There's a lot of people who have died and not many people pay attention to that, but we should because it's important and we should put a stop to it,” said Grade 9 student Hannah Hunt, adding family members have gone missing on the highway. Grade 9 student Emmarie Webster agreed. “I feel like they (aboriginal women) don't have much support,” she said. “I feel like a lot of people hate on them. We want people to remember this is actually happening.” The mural is part of the art gallery’s New Extreme program, in which local artists and educators are paired with youth to explore
a range of artistic practices and ideas. This is the third year Salez has been involved with the program. “I like working with youth and I like introducing new and unusual ideas,” she said. “I haven't thought of the Highway of Tears in a while and I'm glad that they reminded me because I feel it is directly related to the missing and murdered aboriginal women in Canada.” The project has been an emotional one for the group, as they searched for images of the missing women online. “It was intense. I just thought I had to go on the computer and print off some faces, but it was heavy,” Salez said. This year, groups from the LAU, WELNEW Tribal School, the Youth Empowerment Society and Royal Bay Secondary are participating in the program, using a number of a different artistic mediums. “(I want them to take away) a sense of being heard, that their voices really matter, a sense that this art gallery and arts and culture institutions are places that really want to hear about what questions and ideas are most on the minds of young people,” said Jennifer Van de Pol with the art gallery. Artwork from the five groups will be on display at the gallery (1040 Moss St.) from April 7 to 24. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Local company developing new pipeline technology Syscor creating new sensors to detect oil spills more quickly Kendra Wong Victoria News
A Victoria company is leading the way in pipeline technology, developing cutting-edge sensors to detect oil spills more quickly. Syscor Controls and Automation Inc., located in Bastion Square, is developing polymer absorption sensors to detect the presence of hydrocarbons (gasoline, crude oil and diesel). The device sends information to operators, indicating the exact location of the leak along a pipeline. There are many existing technologies that can detect leaks by monitoring flow rates at pump stations along the pipeline, however, there has to be a substantial leak before it's detected. Syscor's sensor detects leaks when they initially happen, even if it leaks as little as 10 barrels of oil. “Even if it's a very small leak,
we should be able to detect it right away,” said Syscor president David Sime. “The time to react to the leak can be vastly reduced and therefore that leak can't grow into a big environmental problem.” The sensor also measures temperature and includes an accelerometer to detect vibrations. For example, if a farmer in Saskatchewan gets too close to an existing pipeline, sensors can measure the vibration of the equipment and, if it's dangerous, send the information to the company. What makes the technology unique is it can be installed on current pipelines, added Sime. “There's hundreds of thousands of existing pipelines in North America that this is applicable to,” he said. “We use existing ploughing technologies for putting cables in the ground . . . it's nice and simple.” Over the next few years, the product will need to be tested and pilot projects are expected to launch in 2019. The federal government has invested $1.6 million into the project. “(This technology) is really leading edge,” said John Aldag, MP for Cloverdale-Langley City.

“I wasn't aware of anything else in the market and I think that the work that's being done here can really position this company, British Columbians and Canadians to lead on this front and help us get products safely to market.” Last week, the government also announced more than $206 million to support 36 cleantech projects in five provinces across Canada. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Top 10 Reasons to Travel by Jeremy McLeod
No matter how or why you travel, you are going to be personally enriched with the experiences that travel has to offer. CARPE DIEM, and seize your opportunities as they present themselves to you. If you don’t, you may not be as physically able as you are today. I believe that travel is important as it fundamentally transforms us. By taking a break from your daily life, unplugging from the pulls and pushes of technology and engaging in new activities in new places, you have an easier opportunity to release unwanted habits. Also, it is empowering to surround yourself with people who don’t know the history of your past so you can reinvent yourself. It reinforces your willingness to broaden your horizons, to get unstuck and to move in new directions. Travel, for me, has been highlighted during important transitions in my life.

Here are my Top 10 Reasons to Travel:
1. For education – Seeing the world provides a source of education absolutely impossible to get in school, teaching you things like economy, politics, history, geography and sociology. 2. Connects us to other cultures and people. 3. Slows us down: Gives us a break from our fast-paced lives. 4. Expands our awareness and introduces us to greater diversity. 5. Gives us time to heal, reduces stress, and helps us regain enthusiasm for life. 6. Helps get that ‘approach with curiosity’ in all areas of our lives by offering us new, “first-time” experiences. 7. Travel will simply make you a more well-rounded human being, which is really the goal, isn’t it? If you don’t know where to start check out www.victoria.cruiseshipcenters.com 8. Invites the opportunity to get lost and face ones fears of the unknown. 9. You will eat food like never before – yes, you will be constantly surprised at the flavors the world has to offer.

Finally, 10. It will create meaningful relationships – people you meet while on the road usually become some of the most valued in your address book, giving you points on the map to visit later on. These folks give you a glimpse outside your hometown circle of friends, forcing you into new and refreshing perspectives on things. This helps us all understand the world just a little bit more.

Esquimalt rail line being converted to pathway Tim Collins Victoria News
Trains no longer run on the old E&N rail line but the right of way beside the tracks have found a new purpose. It’s called the E&N Rail Trail-Humpback Connector and as the name implies, it’s being constructed largely within the abandoned E&N rail corridor. The project, which began in 2009, is being built in phases and, when completed, will stretch 17 kilometres to provide a non-motorized transportation link between Victoria and the West Shore. “This part of the trail isn’t even officially open yet, but we’ve already had people walking and
riding their bikes along the path. It’s actually pretty great to see the level of interest,” said Dan Marten, senior project engineer with the Capital Regional District responsible for the project. The completion of the Esquimault portion of the trail finishes phase one of the project and opens up a nine-kilometre portion of the trail, stretching from Esquimault Road to Burnside. This phase of the project cost approximately $1.1 million. The entire trail, when completed, will come with a price tag of more than $36 million, with funds coming from the Federal Gas Tax Fund, Recreational Infrastructure Canada Program, B.C.

Local Motion Fund, the Provincial Cycling Infrastructure Program, and the CRD's capital funds. “Our next priority is the completion of the portion that leads all the way up to the West Shore,” said Marten. “We’ll be applying for funding through the Gas Tax Fund so it’s important for us to have our application for those funds nailed down and in place.” Beyond the run up to the West Shore, a few missing links still exist within the current path system. A connector route is planned from the Johnson Street Bridge to the rail crossing at Esquimalt Road. At present, from the west side of the bridge an existing bike path leads to Kitma Road

and up to the start of the new trail section. Where the E&N Trail crosses Admirals Road, there is a section of the pathway that cuts through Songhees First Nation’s land. That section, along Maplebank Road to Hallowell Road, has not been undertaken as negotiations continue. The phased approach to the trail’s construction is largely a function of the significant cost of the project. Phase one was broken into seven project areas, with a portion of the trail in each of the partnering municipalities. Phases two and three will link the trails together and future phases will extend the trail on either end. editor@vicncews.com

A map of the parks and green spaces in Victoria — perfect for a picnic in the spring or a walk in the summer. James Bay Neighbourhood Association illustration
C
herry blossoms are blooming in full swing and that can only mean one thing — spring in here. It’s the perfect time for a picnic in the park or a casual stroll down to the Inner Harbour, Fisherman’s Wharf or Odgen Point. Here is a list of the parks and green spaces in James Bay that are available to all local residents. You might even find a few hidden gems on this list.
Overlooking the wharf and on the new David Foster Harbour Pathway, the park is at Erie and St. Lawrence streets. A rehabilitated land project, this newly formed park today boasts a rain garden which serves to filter much of the storm drain waters of James Bay, a public herb garden, a well-used children’s playground, a ‘beach,’ a playing field for flying a kite or tossing a frisbee, and areas where parkusers can sit on a bench or the grass and read a book.
Located south of Dallas Road, this mostly undeveloped park features open fields, wildflowers, trees, shrubs and access to beaches. A well-used scenic waterfront pathway travels along waterfront cliffs from Boyd to Douglas Street, providing spectacular views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Olympic Mountains.
Though the park is leased to the school district, residents are welcome. Located at Toronto/Douglas/Michigan, there is a playground, grass, picnic table and basketball play area. The undeveloped areas of the park feature large Garry Oaks, huge boulders and native wildflowers in spring.

2. MacDonald Park
Dominated by sports fields, MacDonald stretches between Niagara and Simcoe streets. There is a playground but few other amenities. 3. Fisherman’s Wharf Park

Located in the centre of the neighbourhood at Menzies and Michigan strees, Irving could become the vibrant heart of the community. Currently, there is a playground, washroom, benches, interpretative sign and mural. For a full list of parks in James Bay, visit jbna.org.

Behind the scenes with the Victoria Royals DJ Kendra Wong
Walk-In Denture Clinic WHY WAIT? WE CAN HELP NOW! Home & Hospital Visits Happiness is a beautiful smile!
Victoria News
Sitting high above the ice at the Save-onFoods Memorial Centre, Tom Grainger can see almost everything that goes on. The media room (and food) are conveniently located to his right, the video replay booth is to his left and directly across from him sits the Victoria Royals hockey bench. He has the perfect view of both nets and thousands of people sitting below him as well. Grainger, a West Shore resident and business teacher at Belmont Secondary School, is the DJ for the Royals. He is responsible for choosing the music in the arena during home games — from goal songs to intermission music and tongue-incheek songs that come on during power plays. “I see my job as really to pump up the fans. Everything that I do is for the fans and to get them more engaged and active,” said the 31-year-old. “I measure my success based on how involved the fans are in the game, how loud they're cheering.” Grainger has a computer with seven folders of roughly 1,000 songs to play in every situation, 300 of which are crowd favourites he constantly plays, including classic rock music from Metallica, Led Zeppelin and of course, Tom Connors' The Hockey Song. Grainger will play Say it ain't so by Weezer when the away team scores. He'll play Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball if an opposing team player crashes into the Royals netminder, ACDC's Thunderstruck before a penalty shot, or Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe if a call goes to video replay. He'll cycle through roughly 80 songs in one game. Being a DJ is a talent Grainger learned during his time working in guest services on the Fantasmic! show at Disneyland in Florida while he completed his business degree at the University of Victoria. Having grown up

Kendra Wong/Victoria News
Tom Grainger is the DJ for the Victoria Royals during home games at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. playing hockey in Sooke, his first DJ gig was with the Salmon Kings in the East Coast Hockey League. Shortly after, he applied for the DJ job with the Royals and for the past 10 years, Grainger has been spinning the tunes audiences and players enjoy from game start to finish. It's not just about playing certain songs, but having the music reflect how fans are feeling and contributing to the overall experience, Grainger said. “If the fans are feeling a certain way during the game, then I'll pick a song based on that and try to really match the mood of the crowd,” he said. “There's a lot of thought that goes into every song we play . . . It's really rewarding when you put something on that matches the mood in the building and the crowd really gets into it.” However, some nights can be more challenging than others. Low-scoring games or games when the Royals are losing can be more difficult to get the crowd engaged, Grainger admitted. “If it's quiet in here, we'll play some clapping and organ bits to keep the fans engaged,” he said. “Our hope is that the fans will give the players the spark they need out on the ice.” Grainger is quick to credit the entertainment team with his success.
“We have an NHLcalibre game entertainment team and that makes it easier to come back every year,” he said, adding the team also includes the PA announcer, lighting person and game producer.
Up next, Grainger is gearing up for the most exciting time in WHL hockey — the playoffs. He said the music will be more dramatic to match the level of excitement in the arena. kendra.wong@vicnews.com
