Don’t focus on a crocus Trees are key to counting blooms in the billions Oak Bay News

Despite a count of 100 million blooms submitted by one resident, Oak Bay fell to seventh this year in the 41st annual Victoria Flower Count. Graham Bell, new Oak Bay resident, finds the climate more conducive to an early spring uprising here. Just a couple of degrees seems to make a difference between Oak Bay and the locale of Butchart Gardens where Bell honed his flower skills working in public relations until just over a year ago. “(Plants) were very far advanced for the time of year,” Bell said of the buds in his new community. “I actually found dandelions that had already gone to seed.” He discovered masses of azaleas and camellia, some so far in bloom, they were already falling off. “There is a phenomenal amount of early spring plants. Oak Bay should lead the pack.” Bell led the way in counting for Oak Bay’s seventh place finish – of 14 communities – in the annual Victoria Flower Count March 3 to 9. Residents of Greater Victoria counted 25,864,976,064 flowers, smashing last year’s second best count by 8 billion blooms.

Tackling the treatment issue Don Descoteau Black Press editor

The subject of sewage treatment has been a contentious one for more than 30 years in Greater Victoria and has so far cost taxpayers millions of dollars. While some in the region have already begun treating wastewater – Saanich Peninsula started in 2000, while Sooke completed a system upgrade in 2005 – the region’s core and West Shore municipalities send untreated sewage into Juan de Fuca Strait. The cost, siting and engineering of a regional treatment project make this a complex undertaking from a technical standPLEASE SEE: COSM_9303_OBN_b_X1a.pdf 1 2016-03-14 4:21 PM point, but also from a political one, as counOak Bay down for the count, Page A5

cil representatives from seven municipalities debate plans. In the past six years alone, the Capital Regional District has spent tens of millions of taxpayers’ dollars on research, consultant fees, land purchases and construction. Completion of the project is estimated to cost more than a $1 billion. Annual operating costs will add to the amount for which homeowners and commercial property owners will be on the hook. It’ll be up to municipalities and the CRD to determine how the tax burden is divided. But who’s making these decisions, and who is holding them accountable? To help readers gain a better understanding of where we’ve been, where we are now,

who’s involved and what the future holds, Black Press assembled an investigative journalism team to provide perspective and help simplify this complex topic. Starting in today’s Oak Bay News, our fivepart series will tackle issues ranging from where money has been spent and the sites being considered to what other cities have done and what scientists say. We’ll ask for feedback along the way and encourage you to connect with your community newspaper. Write letters to the editor or comment on Facebook and Twitter. This special Black Press presentation aims to give you new insights into this complicated issue. Turn to page A8 to get started.

Firefighters leap hurdles in Lima, Peru Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

In his final days in Arequipa, Peru, Oak Bay firefighter Ballantyne faced his largest class, about 30 Peruvian firefighters. His final session there focused on incident command with examples to share from the previous day’s 70-bomberos (Peruvian firefighter) fire. “It is very rewarding to look into the class and see people [who are] reacting negatively on what is presented and then [be able] to explain and give examples of how an Incident Command System or Accountability System relates to their job and how important it is,” he said. “We had various chiefs in the class and they all agreed with how the lessons we were teaching would assist their organization and firefighter safety.” Ballantyne is set to return May 20 from his volunteer trip with Firefighters Without Borders Canada. After a few days teaching the volunteer bomberos of Arequipa he returned to Lima where classes had been cancelled. “It looks like Lima is a go now, the

Our VIEW

Black Press decodes treatment debate

Beginning in today’s edition, Black Press and the Oak Bay News take an in-depth look at the sewage issue which has plagued and puzzled residents throughout the Capital Region for decades. The Capital Regional District’s core area liquid waste management committee recommended moving ahead with a wastewater treatment program that will feature plants at Victoria’s Clover Point and either McLoughlin or Macaulay point in Esquimalt. There’s reason for optimism that Greater Victoria will finally find an alternative to pumping untreated sewage a kilometre out from shore into the Salish Sea. However, we’ve been here before, only to see the plan unravel amid political infighting. The CRD identified McLoughlin Point as the preferred site for a single treatment plant back in 2014. That plan never made it past the initial designs as Esquimalt council rejected the CRD’s rezoning application, following a series of raucous public hearings. There’s reason to believe Esquimalt may be more receptive in this go-round, as a Victoria plant serves to share the load on sewage flows. The issue has taken some dramatic turns in recent weeks. The initial seven options, each of which included a main plant at Rock Bay, fell by the wayside as the committee focused on sites near existing outfalls at Clover and Macaulay points, saving the $250-million cost of piping the effluent there. But the project still carries an estimated cost of more than $1 billion, which would translate to estimated household costs ranging from a low of $352 a year in Saanich to a high of $741 in Colwood. To address those costs, along with the technical advances in sewage treatment and the region’s history with the issue, Black Press assembled a team of reporters, photographers and graphic designers, who devoted hundreds of hours researching the subject and putting together a five-part series that runs Wednesdays and Fridays through April 1. (See page XX) We can only hope that this time we are finally on the road to a solution and won’t be sitting in the same place two years down the road, wondering how we got here. What do you think?

Free-table find spreads four-legged cheer I would like to thank the dog owner who left a bag of dog toys at the Oak Bay dump. I took the bag home and let Maja (my Norwegian Elkhound) choose two toys. The bag then went to Windsor Park where Salish (golden) took a kong and Penny (French bulldog) took the small ball and Bridie (Britney spaniel) took the knotted rope … just like her friend Maja. The bag then went to Hillside Vet Hospital where the staff donate time to help the dogs owned by the street people. We want you to know that all toys were received by happy and grateful dogs.

More long-term thinking needed Re: Housing czar defends drug ghettos (B.C. Views, Feb. 17).

Good for Tom Fletcher for saying it like it is and what most people seem to be scared or uncomfortable to express. Having been an advocate for the truly disadvantaged for more than 50 years I am discouraged by the lack of long-range thinking of our governments in this regard. As a teen I volunteered in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and have worked in Victoria in community support for many years. I have friends who work in the field here and in Van-

couver. So I guess I have first-hand experience and while I obviously care I am also a realist. While of course there are sad valid situations, it’s becoming a runaway horse. The overall excuses and sense of entitlement and the perpetuating of this mindset by our elected leaders has produced no results except more and more of it. How about putting this effort and funding into long-term prevention? Like turning the former Victoria

Boys and Girls Club into after-school activity space since a large middle school happens to be across the street. I’m sure this will be of some use to keep kids safe, occupied and out of the hands of drug recruiters while parents work. Instead of paying homeless people a $20 per person to consult on housing, perhaps the total spent could have provided breakfast in schools where some kids come hungry. Erika Hallschmid Victoria

Oak Bay down for the count Continued from Page A1

“Flower Count is a four-decades old tradition in Victoria that we are happy to support,” said Paul Nursey, president and CEO of Tourism Victoria. “Our springlike winters differentiate our destination from others which is why tourists from all over the world increasingly see Victoria as a key and unique Canadian experience.” Each year, the regional municipalities go head-to-head, with residents submitting counts for their community. Colwood was named Bloomingest Community for the third straight year. Bell remembers a half dozen years ago when he was among those announcing Oak Bay as the Bloomingest community. We topped the count in 2010 – the highest Flower Count on record with 21.7 billion blooms – 14 billion of them here. “Oak Bay should be a showcase,” said Bell who took the time counting as an opportunity to get to know his new community a little better. “I was learning the area, some walking and driving around,” he said. “I was just having a good time.” Alongside discovering community treasures such as the Centennial Trail and Anderson Hill Park, he looked out for bushes such as heather, which can count as an estimated 2,000 blooms. Bell says the key is not to focus on the crocus. Singlebloom plants take a long time to add up, “go for the trees,” he suggested.

Committed to customer service Oak Bay realtor specializes in the community that his family also calls home.

hen it comes to choosing a realtor to help buy or sell your home, choosing someone who specializes in your neighbourhood just makes sense. Who better that someone who not only lives in Oak Bay now, but who grew up here as well? “Oak Bay is really the community I know the best and where I want to raise my family. I specialize in Oak Bay and believe deeply in Oak Bay as an investment, but moreover it’s a great place to live and raise a family,” says Jason Binab, an Oak Bay resident for the greater part of 28 years, and a realtor for 11. With Binab Group at Engel and Völkers, Jason is committed to marketing, branding and going above and beyond for his clients. That approach is easy when you love what you do. “I love people and houses,” Jason says.

“This is a people business and you have to love people. If you do, then you can be 100 per cent sincere and people feel that and trust you. I help people attain their dream home and/or sell their homes.”

The Real Estate Sisters

That approach has brought professional success. Within several years in the business Jason was the leader of one of the top real estate teams for Victoria and Vancouver Island. “That was a big achievement because it meant people trusted me with their homes and their family. Over 75 per cent of my current business is referrals and I give 100 per cent to make my clients happy, often becoming great friends with them,” Jason says. “Another highlight for me is the respect of my colleagues. Real estate is more than just selling homes. I respect my profession and my colleagues and that goes a long way in this business. It’s a co-operative business and if you respect your colleagues it pays dividends for your clients in the long run. “Respect and honesty are huge to me and were instilled in me through my father, Reza.” The oldest of four siblings, Jason’s parents still live in the first house they bought in Oak Bay. He and wife Amber Binab have two sons, Benson, 4, and Jamison, 2. “Amber is my foundation and supports me wholeheartedly, and that means a lot as a realtor,” Jason notes. “I work seven days a week and rarely take time off. A lot of people get into this business thinking it will be easy, but when people are often making the largest purchase of their lives, we need to be there for them, and often in a moment’s notice.” Jason is a sports enthusiast and avid cyclist. He sponsors several cycling related events along with hockey and baseball. Outside work and family life, Jason sits on the advisory board for Power To Be, helping youth and families who need the support to explore adventure-based sports.

Pressure on to find a sewage solution Taxpayers, directors question the current $1-billion price tag Don Descoteau Black Press

As discussions continue around how to achieve sewage treatment for the core areas of the Capital Regional District, it’s interesting that many local residents still wonder why it’s needed at all. Set aside for a moment that the federal government has mandated that Greater Victoria and other coastal communities in Canada undertake treatment to at least the secondary level. The CRD currently gathers flows of sewage and drain water at Clover and Macaulay points, where the solids are screened out and the liquid is forced through outfalls that empty roughly a kilometre out into the ocean at a depth of about 65 metres (213 feet). Supporters of this system, including leading marine biologists, have been characterized by opponents as promoting the notion that “dilution is the solution.”

Given the roughly $1 billion estimated cost just to set up a treatment system, some residents find themselves further questioning the need. The majority, however, argue that it’s just the right thing to do, but outside voices, such as from Washington state, have added to the noise. While we’re not at treatment yet, we’re far ahead of where we were in the late 1960s, when sewage pipes emptied at our shorelines and caused regular beach closures. Screening out the solids and forcing the liquids a kilometre out into the deep ocean represented steps in the right direction in the 1970s. On March 9 the CRD approved a twoplant system with facilities at Clover Point in Victoria, and McLoughlin or Macaulay points in Esquimalt. Taxpayers could be excused for wondering how either site found its way into the discussion, when neither was included on a list of seven options presented. A clue came during a meeting of the CRD’s core area liquid waste management committee last month. Directors grilled engineering consultants over total costs, with some asking why a vacant Rock Bay industrial site was central to all seven options. Technical oversight panel chair, Teresa Coady, stated that better options including Clover and McLoughlin/

Lisa Helps Mayor, Victoria; CRD sewage committee chair So does this scenario resemble 2014, when McLoughlin was chosen for a single regional plant, but shot down when Esquimalt council rejected the rezoning? Perhaps, but that plan also located the biosolids plant on Viewfield Road in Esquimalt, and the single plant was larger than under the current proposal. The coming weeks will provide more insight as the two councils hear from the public on the proposed plan. The fact remains, the government requires us to treat our sewage, and the region needs to find a workable solution.

Walking along Halifax’s harbour in the 1960s was an unpleasant experience. For decades, the city had pumped raw sewage – fecal matter, tampons, condoms and other flushed items – into its harbour and it was starting to take a toll. The harbour water was murky, prohibiting swimming at popular beaches and the harvesting of shellfish due to health concerns. A pungent smell lingered, as brown sludge burbled to the surface. “It was kind of disgraceful,” said James Campbell, public relations co-ordinator with Halifax Water. Pressure mounted on city officials to clean up the harbour and institute sewage treatment. In 1970, a secondary treatment plant was built in the community of Bedford, followed a few years later by a primary treatment plant in the Eastern Passage. But the city outgrew the facilities and the vast majority of sewage continued to enter the harbour untreated. It wasn’t until 2001 that the city embarked upon the Harbour Solutions Project, a phased-in approach that involved constructing three wastewater treatment facilities. The largest was built near downtown Halifax, a second near a neighbourhood in Dartmouth and the third in the village of Herring Cove, combining to serve a population of 415,000. Also included was a sewage collection system and a biosolids processing facility constructed near Halifax airport. The cost of the three advanced primary treatment plants was pegged at $333 million. Then came the question of how to pay for the costliest infrastructure project in Atlantic Canada. The federal government contributed $60 million, the province kicked in $30 million and city taxpayers paid the remaining $243 million. The municipality took a loan and raised money through an environmental protection levy on residents’ water bills. “There was overwhelming public support for getting the project

The biggest facility is in the middle of downtown Halifax and there’s no smell whatsoever, no noise, no smokestacks. — James Campbell, Halifax Water spokesman done,” Campbell said. “People had heard decades of indecision about how to get moving on the project and it’s always funding that’s the biggest problem.” It seemed everything was finally on track, but the project hit another roadblock when the city terminated its contract with the company hired to design and build the treatment system, putting more pressure on city staff to move the project ahead. A new company was contracted a year later. Shovels hit the ground in 2005 and the Halifax Wastewater Treatment Facility opened in 2008. Over the next year, the Dartmouth and

Herring Cove facilities came on line. The project came in $3 million under budget at $330 million. A few days after the Halifax plant opened, the murky waters started to clear, providing a pleasant walk along the harbour again. The public was astonished to see the ocean floor, noted Campbell, and a diving salvage company was hired to retrieve some of the garbage previously hidden. Two public beaches that had been closed for decades also reopened for swimming. In the project’s lengthy history, getting the funds was one challenge; where to build was another.

Macaulay could have been created had consultants not been told those areas were “off the table.” That got committee members thinking about the potential for a hybrid plan that took advantage of the fact the two sites are in close proximity to existing sewage outfalls. It would also avoid the need for $250 million to rip up Cook Street from Dallas Road to Bay Street for pipes. Local politicians appeared to be looking out for their taxpayers. Some pointed to the project charter, developed last October, which states as one of its goals that any solution should “minimize (construction and operating) costs to residents and businesses … and provide value for money.” Feedback from an online survey and written correspondence determined residents are most concerned with how the project will affect their taxes. Showing it’s not all about the money, the level of quality of effluent discharged into the ocean was also of high importance. This may be the closest Greater Victoria has come to acheiving the goal. Success is not a given, with rezoning still needed in Victoria and Esquimalt councils for Clover and McLoughlin points, respectively. Macaulay, which would require a land swap with the Department of National Defence, appears a dark-horse contender.

tossed around, including one giant plant on an island in the harbour. Ultimately engineers decided the best option was three facilities. That decision wasn’t nearly as difficult as convicing residents that having a sewage treatment plant in their backyard wasn’t a bad thing, Campbell said. The city received much pushback during public consultations and meetings with community groups, but eventually citizens got on board. “We worked with the community on the facade of the facilities so they had some input on that. It was really trying to break that concern (about having) a big, smelly industrial facility in your backyard or blocking your view of the harbour. “The biggest facility is in the middle of downtown Halifax and there’s no smell whatsoever, no noise, no smoke stacks. There is another directly across the harbour that’s also close to a residential area in the same situation.”

The Clive LEED promise exceeds expectations Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

The Clive is among Canada’s 150 LEED Platinum buildings LEED or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design stands for sustainability excellence and Platinum is the highest achievable level in the Canada Green Building Council certification. It replaced a two-storey, eight-unit 1940sera Clive Apartments on Oak Bay Avenue and cleared many community hurdles to become the current 17-unit rental housing that opened last October. “Everything is just really designed to be as efficient as possible. I believe it’s the responsible thing to do. I think it’s the thing everybody should be doing,” said Nicole Roberts, of JN Development. “It also speaks to best practices. That gives a community a certain security that things are being done the right way.” She credits council of the day, as it was a difficult rezoning that proved taxing for them, municipal staff, the community and her team. “They showed an incredible amount of leadership in supporting (the project),” she said. “I’m proud that it did what I said it was going to do.” That promise was that it would become a LEED certified building. “I’m thrilled,” Roberts said. “We discov-

said architect Greg Damant, Cascadia Architects. “The functional landscape is designed to take all the rainwater that lands on the roof and infiltrate it on the site as irrigation for the plants. What that does is reduce the burden on Oak Bay’s municipal stormwater

system.” There are also small outward details such as the sunshades on the side reduce heat gain inside. But it’s some of the design features not visible, but rather “good, quality building” that instil pride in the architect. “It’s exciting and interesting to make a visible statement about sustainability but we’re at the point now in the conversation about our responsibility or our level of sophistication as a society … good building design should be par for the course,” he said. “In a lot of ways I like to thing that this building does that. It doesn’t look like a super advanced building. It looks like a nice good neighbour … and we achieved a lot of the LEED award points for good design, through little things.” Details that make life better can be as simple as appropriate weather seals and floor mats. “They’re all good practices and if you pay attention to those little things, they add up and make a good durable, functional healthy building,” Damant said. “We really tried. There was some nervousness in the community about the change, that we tried to focus on being a good neighbour. I think the commitment on behalf of Nicole Roberts to do a LEED building was a demonstration of that.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com
