Glass in blue box OK for now: CRD Glass pickup to be re-evaluated in 2019, rules to be clarified Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Hopping to it Rope jumpers, including Royal Bay student Paige Stewart (left), compete at a competition. The school is hosting the B.C. Jump Rope Championships this weekend, with young athletes entered in various categories. See story Page A21.

Residents can stop worrying about what to do with those empty glass jars. Glass pick-up will continue as part of the Capital Regional District’s blue bin curbside collection – at least for the time being. “There was a lot of concern, especially from folks from more urban areas,” said Langford Coun. Denise Blackwell, a director on the CRD board. Some of those concerns came from people who don’t have a vehicle to transport glass to a depot, those unsure of the location of such facilities, and others who feared that more glass would end up in the landfill. Blackwell added, “there were quite a few letters from people who thought we should keep it.” In light of some of those concerns and input – along with other factors – the CRD board voted last week to continue curbside pickup until the current collection contracts expire in three years. After changes were implemented to the B.C. recycling regulations, the CRD signed a contract last year with Multi-Material BC to continue to provide blue bin collection. The CRD also has a contract in place with Emterra Environmental to provide this curbside collection, using a three-stream materials collection process. Both those agreements expire in April 2019. Part of the board’s decision to continue glass pickup also called for CRD staff to work to better educate the public about separating glass for curbside collection, as well as work

Coun. Denise Blackwell in partnership with industry to communicate the benefits of returning deposit glass to depots. Blackwell noted some residents also expressed confusion over the current system and the education was to help get all residents in the region on the same page. There is room for change in 2019 when the existing contract expires, said director David Screech, View Royal mayor. “It’s a regressive move. We’ve spent years teaching the public to recycle,” he said. “We should be adding to the recycle program, not taking away from it. I don’t think you make a decision for a region like this without getting feedback from the public.” Glass containers have been collected as part of the CRD’s blue bin project since it began in 1988. However, residents are required to place glass in separate labeled containers for curbside collection to prevent broken glass from contaminating and devaluing other recyclables. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Independent body joins investigation into fatal RCMP crash Concurrent investigation to be done with ongoing inquiries

Katherine Engqvist / News Gazette staff

Police are asking anyone that may have seen the two vehicles pictured above on April 5 between 3 and 4 a.m. to contact them immediately.

The introduction of information about police attempts to stop a vehicle prior to a fatal crash with West Shore RCMP Const. Sarah Beckett has prompted the Independent Investigation Office of British Columbia to become invovled. At the time of the fatal collision the RCMP notified IIO, to advise them of the situation and the information available. While no investigation was launched at that time, as the case has progressed, the details of an attempt by police to stop the suspect vehicle prior to the collision have been provided to the Office for assessment, said RCMP ‘E’ Division Staff Sgt. Rob Vermeulen in a release. On Friday the IIO confirmed it will be looking into the events leading up to the fatal collision

and whether the actions or inactions of any police officer may have been a contributing factor. That investigation will be concurrent to the criminal investigation being led by the RCMP Island District General Investigations Section, while the Saanich Police Department is overseeing the collision scene investigation. Given the parallel investigation by the IIO, the RCMP is not releasing any other information about the details surrounding the crash or the time leading up to it.

RCMP seeks witnesses to crash that killed West Shore constable Investigators are asking any witnesses who have not already spoken to police to contact them immediately with information relating to the fatal crash that led to the death of West Shore RCMP Const. Sarah Beckett. A call has gone out for anyone who was driving or walking on Peatt Road or in the area of Goldstream Avenue in Langford between 3 and 4 a.m. on Tuesday, April 5 and may have seen the vehicles involved. Beckett was driving a marked RCMP cruiser, while the other vehicle was a full-sized grey Dodge SLT pickup with Cummins Diesel insignias. If you have any information, please contact Const. Kelly Mobbs of Island District GIS at 250995-7726 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Looking good is an important factor in how we feel and the self confidence that we project. It is said that the eyes are the window to the soul, so what we put in front of our eyes is very important window dressing. Apart from their critical role in correcting our vision, spectacles, in recent years, have acquired the status of a fashion accessory. The choices and styles in fashionable eye wear today reflect this trend. Frames are available to suit almost any taste and complement any look. If you prefer not to wear eye glasses, your optometrist can discuss the options available in contact lenses. Some of the many choices include rigid gas permeable lenses, soft contacts, tinted contacts, disposable contacts, bifocal contact and toric contact lenses that correct astigmatism. Some people prefer contact lenses to spectacles and find them more convenient for some activities. Refractive surgery is becoming a more mainstream alternative to glasses or contact lenses. Your optometrist can discuss with you the different techniques available to correct your specific refractive condition and recommend the best procedure for you. Most importantly, you should be wearing the corrective lenses that are most comfortable for you and provide you with optimum vision for all your needs.

Market gets go-ahead for alcohol sales Concerns of local establishments heard by Langford councillor Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

The Goldstream Farmers Market will be able to sell and sample locally produced alcohol in the upcoming market season. “We love our market,” said Coun. Lillian Szpak. “We look forward to them growing and flourishing.” The approval came after representatives from the local market asked council to reconsider allowing its vendors to sell and sample locally made wine, cider and mead. Szpak and Mike Leskiw, Langford’s manager of parks and recreation, sat down with representatives of the Goldstream Farmers Market and the local business community last

month – at council’s request – to discuss the matter in detail. Concerns were voiced at the meeting that the market could undercut the prices of businesses selling alcohol. But market vendors, unlike stores, will only be able to sell alcohol one bottle at a time and not by the case. And as with liquor merchants, their prices are dictated largely by provincial regulations. Szpak said area businesses could benefit, because if customers like what they’ve purchased at the market, they may look for it in stores. “That’s where we’re seeing a mutual benefit … I think we found a good compromise.” Council decided to allow for up to two stalls to sample and sell alcohol at the market. Despite a relatively new batch of liquor laws that allow for the tasting and sale of alcohol at farmers markets across the province, the local market has not been able to include those activities due to its location. Since the mar-

ket takes place in Veterans Memorial Park, sampling would directly contradict Langford bylaws that prohibit the consumption of alcohol in parks. Council has previously considered – and rejected – this request twice, stating no alcohol should be consumed at Veterans Memorial Park. Some council members have even gone as far as to state that the sale of alcohol would be disrespectful to the park’s legacy. However, Szpak said “that didn’t come up this time at all.” She did say council would check back in with market representatives at the end of the season to see how this compromise was working. “We’ve worked together for over 10 years … We’ve had a highly collaborative relationship,” she added, one that has often proven mutually beneficial. Not only does the market add to the community culturally, she said, it attracts people to the area who then use other services or

shop at other businesses in Langford. Elaine Baglo, Goldstream Farmers Market manager, said their board is thrilled with council’s decision, especially with the market heading into its 10th year in Langford. She noted there are already a couple of local wineries interested in becoming vendors. This season will see the market grow, with vendors selling everything from meat and baked goods to produce and wine – all the elements to make a full meal. Baglo noted their selection of artisan crafters is also expanding. The first market of the year takes place on Saturday, May 7, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. There will be cake, free plants, entertainment by the Rollie Barrett Band and a park full of vendors, including one marketing wine. Applications are being accepted from potential vendors. For more information go to goldstreamfarmersmarket.ca. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Summer is almost upon us and that means festival season is just around the corner. Gearing up for those sunny days, the Rock the Shores lineup has been announced. Returning to a three-day format on the fields at West Shore Parks and Recreation, the Colwood festival will kick off on Friday, July 22, with The Seven Mile Social. Programming for the day is dedicated to showcasing Vancouver Island’s homegrown talent, with performers including Current Swell, Jesse Roper, Jon and Roy, Towers and Trees and more. Tickets for that show start at $25. Saturday and Sunday headliners include City and Colour, Metric, Arkells, and Eagles of Death Metal, with Dear Rouge, Big Wreck, Yukon Blonde, Kytami and more also in the mix. For the full lineup and more information go to rocktheshores.com.

Crack sealing underway on Langford roadways

Drivers are reminded that the City of Langford has started its annual crack sealing program. This year’s focus areas are north of the Trans-Canada Highway and south of Sooke Road. Crews will seal the cracks using an oil-based product, to be covered with a layer of sand. The sealant/sand combination is packed into the cracks within 24 to 48 hours. According to the City, this process is more costeffective than full replacement, extends the life of asphalt and delays its breakdown. The City reminds the public, especially cyclists and motorcyclists, that the loose sand can be slippery. Road users are asked to play close attention to posted warning signs and to drive appropriately for the conditions. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

School parent advisory councils are always looking for ways to help raise money for worthwhile projects benefitting children. The folks at Westshore Town Centre have once again dedicated the month of April to helping in that regard, using their Coins for Kids contest. The contest sees elementary schools in the Sooke School District vie for points through shopping at the mall’s merchants. Every dollar spent – receipts are submitted in a draw barrel near Coast Capital Savings – equates to a point for the indicated school. This year, the school earning the most points by May 1 receives a $2,000 grant, FOR the UP TO UP TO while runner-up is given aGET $1,500 grant. A random draw will see a third school receive $1,000. “The incredible support from Coins for Kids has helped our PAC at David Cameron elementary offer bursaries, purchase an adaptable bicycle for physically challenged students … fund edu* cational speakers, buy library books and assist MONTHS ** the music program,” said Jennifer Hoenen, BONUS CASHthe on other on select models school’s PAC treasurer. The mall has continued its efforts to help the Goldstream Food Bank, by awarding 500 bonus points for every bag of non-perishable food items brought in by schools. A $500 gift card sponsored by Fairway Market will be awarded to the school that raises the most points in food donations. “We felt the Food Bank initiative was an important addition to our campaign and Fairway Market has been a huge supporter by sponsoring a prize and selling pre-made bags at each till,” said Carlene McDonald, marketing manager for Westshore Town Centre. Collection bins and donation bags are located near Fairway Market and Centre Court. For more information on the program, visit westshoretowncentre.com. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Food drive gets spring push from students Volunteer crews from Belmont, Edward Milne collecting non-perishable items for food banks in their communities

Belmont secondary students are getting ready to hit the pavement and knock on doors to make sure no one in the community gets overlooked. The school’s annual food drive, 10,000 Tonight, which traditionally takes place around Christmastime, is getting a spring revival this year. Belmont students are partnering with their Sooke counterparts at Edward Milne Community School to canvas their communities for non-perishable food items to donate to the local food banks. The Belmont students will be blanketing the West Shore on Thursday night (April 21), with their collected items earmarked for the Goldstream Food Bank. “We heard the food bank usually gets empty this time of year,” said Emily Rasmussen. Shauna Stubbs added, “We wanted to make sure the food bank has food all year.” n What: 10,000 Rasmussen and Tonight - Spring Stubbs, along with Edition Graeme Sieben and n When: Thursday, Markus Meyer, are April 21 Grade 10 Belmont leadn Time: 5 to 9 p.m. ership students helpn Where: Belmont ing organize this week’s secondary, 3041 food drive, which will Langford Lake Rd. look a little different than past efforts. Instead of just accepting donations one night, there are bins set up inside the main entrance for students and staff at the schools, as well as the community, to drop items off all week. The goal is for Belmont students alone to collect more than 10,000 items. “It’s really important to show the community that as a school we’re here to support everyone,” Stubbs said. While there is a goal, Rasmussen added, the drive is really about collecting as much food as possible for the food bank. With the big push on Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m., Sieben said students will be out across all of the major communities in the West Shore. The school itself will be buzzing during this high-energy event and keeping that energy going is why he’s back volunteering. Meyer said that energy and this food drive in particular “brings the school together … The entire community rallies behind it.” If residents know they’re not going to be home, he added, they can leave items to be collected at their door. Said Stubbs: “We really appreciate any donations … Even one can of food helps.” katie@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Volunteers make things happen on West Shore We’ve written before in this space about the importance of volunteers to our community and those around us. While the recent National Volunteer Week featured events and other celebrations spotlighting the work the thousands of volunteers across Canada do in the course of a year, some local events prompted us to notice how big an effect West Shore volunteers have on our communities. Last weekend’s World Rugby Women’s Seven Series tournament at Westhills Stadium, for example, could not have happened without the help of dozens of volunteers. Their efforts in areas from hospitality to off-field marshaling made the trip to Langford to watch world-class rugby a treat for spectators and players alike. A related event last week, the provincial high school girls sevens rugby championships, also required the assistance of parent volunteers and in many cases, volunteer coaches to help provide the young players with the opportunity to test their skills at a high level. Sports is a common place to find volunteers, on the West Shore as with most other areas of Greater Victoria. With minor baseball and lacrosse seasons upon us, volunteer coaches and executive members are hard at work creating opportunities and preparing young players for tests of their respective athletic skills in game situations. While sports requires numerous volunteers, such activities as working with seniors, church groups and the planning and carrying out of emergency response procedures, are also mostly done by unpaid individuals or committees. We’ll see a wide assortment of the latter group of people at the upcoming Emergency Preparedness Fair at West Shore Parks and Recreation. So, we tip our caps to the raft of volunteers who make our communities vibrant and interesting and alive. They often serve in quiet dedication, but why not take a moment today to say thanks? It makes everyone feel good. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545. All letters must have a name and a telephone number for verification.

premier’s hardhat is that my hardhat has union labels on it, and hers doesn’t,” Horgan replied. As this statement was being made, the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Council was meeting in Victoria. Its president, Tom Sigurdson, would use that event to host B.C. Liberal cabinet ministers and blast Horgan for opposing Pacific Northwest LNG. In the 2013 election, then-NDP leader Adrian Dix made a midcampaign decision to come out against the Trans-Mountain pipeline expansion. Since then the NDP has opposed construction of the Site C dam on the Peace River. Horgan is in favour of hydroelectric power, you understand. Just not this project at this time. Perhaps the most stunning thing about the federal NDP’s fling with the Leap Manifesto was that it was staged in Edmonton. It came as a direct rejection of Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, who faces the grim reality of an oil and gas slump. Notley has promised a carbon tax and the end of coal-fired power generation, moves that no NDP government has proposed, much less implemented. Her own pretending-to-be-green party ignored and betrayed her. Horgan wandering around in a hardhat is looking like a tougher sell every day.

LETTERS Coverage of RCMP fatality and funeral hits home Thank you for your poignant coverage of this tragic event in our community. A tragic time with the loss of one of our own reminds us of all that first responders and police officers do for us in our community. They respond first to danger. They do it to serve and protect us, the citizens. These men and women bravely risk their lives patrolling our streets so we can sleep safely and soundly in our beds at night. Const. Sarah Beckett paid the ultimate sacrifice. She gave her life for us. We must always remember this. Behind the uniform is a person: a mother, father, sister, brother, wife, husband. They want to come home to their families at the end of their shift from serving their duty of protecting us. These men and women are people too, living a fragile, precious story. They risk their lives for us and in a community where they are overworked and pushed to their limits, we must remember to give back. These officers deal with constant negativity and the support we have for them must outshine all that bad. To offer gratitude and outreach and a sincere thank you for all they do for us. To honour their sacrifices and pay

Our hearts go out to you, West Shore RCMP. You are not alone in this. We share your heartache. We care. Because we are family too, and community love and support surrounds you.

Support for police starts at the ballot box Expressions of sympathy over the death of an RCMP officer in a traffic accident while on duty in Langford are nice, but will voters show support for police at the ballot box instead of electing neo-Marxist politicians who oppose policing? Many of those who expressed sympathy will, but I doubt neoMarxist politicians who jumped on the sympathy bandwagon will. Politicians

of the Green and federal Liberal parties, and the NDP are known to make fallacious complaints about good police operations, associate with persons who condone violence, deny the existence of evil, and lie that they have no influence on police budgets. Langford Mayor Stew Young did want to increase funding for police, unlike some West Shore politicians, after an assault on a trail the RCMP had claimed was safe. (There’s a problem with police making excuses for politicians, they should stay neutral.) Typical politicians want to spend money on glitz, handouts to mooching organizations, and pet do-gooder projects instead of on protecting individuals against initiation of force. That failure to do their duty occurs at the municipal level of police funding, the provincial level of court funding and at all levels that don’t do well at re-educating offenders while incarcerated.

TOWN OF VIEW ROYAL

U.S. company AMC Theatres is considering allowing texting in certain seating areas during movies. As company CEO Adam Aron said, “You can’t tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone.” His thinking appears to be that those who can’t go more than a few minutes without checking their phones might have a new reason to side with AMC next time they see a movie. The millennials’ addiction to devices is replacing their parents’ addiction and fascination with the automobile. Nobody wants to admit that there is a permanent structural shift that will affect the automobile industry and demand for oil, attributable to a generational paradigm shift. Even with cheap oil, many millennials see car commuting as a chore that keeps them away from being connected electronically. The millennials have technological replacements we did not have to automobile travel, a generation ago. There is a very strong trend among young people away from automobiles. Every time insurance rates increase, the millennial will increase their incentive for using transit. Every time a millennial is stuck in traffic wasting time and fuel, they will increase their incentive for transit. The millennial generation is more interested in time management and being connected, compared with their parents’ fascination with the inefficient car culture. Boomers and millennials, the two largest demographic groups in North America, are converging in a time-of-life moment where what they want is walkable, compact, higher density, service-rich, transit-oriented communities and destinations. For this reason they are unlikely to save the suburban-based, auto-dependent model of urban development. Avi Ickovich Langford

Silver lining to tournament for host team Canada’s women’s rugby team hopes to have full lineup available for France, Rio Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Two minutes. It can feel like a lifetime or go by far too quickly, depending upon whether your team is ahead or behind. In sevens rugby, a mistake here or there can happen in the blink of an eye and alter the outcome of a game. Canada’s women’s team knows that reality all too well and experienced it last weekend at Westhills Stadium, when they outscored their opponents 129-19 and went 5-1 but wound up in fifth place. Canada finished strongly, defeating Spain 21-5 in the Plate final Sunday afternoon after a 27-0 thumping of Russia in the semis. But everyone was still talking about the one that got away – the 14-12 Cup quarter-final loss to France that morning in which Canada led 12-0 with two minutes to go then gave up two converted tries, the last one coming with no time left on the clock. “We had a great day one (3-0), but that quarter-final really got us,” said Kayla Moleschi, the Williams Lake Hustlers rugby product who scored a try in the France game. “But it’s how you bounce back from it. We took it to the next two teams with two wins and ultimately that’s what we’ve got to do is show our resiliency. Obviously next time we’re not going to make that two-minute mistake like we did in the quarter-final.” Converted tries from Ghislaine Landry and Hannah Darling gave Canada a 14-0 lead at halftime against Spain, then Britt Benn added to the lead with a try of her own. Spain scored late to prevent Canada from recording its fifth shutout in six games. Canada head coach John Tait was smiling after his play-

Jen Kish of Canada drives through a Spanish defender during the Plate final of the HSBC Canada Rugby Sevens on Sunday at Westhills Stadium in Langford. Canada rolled to a 21-5 victory to take fifth place at the tournament.

– Canada women’s sevens team member Kayla Moleschi

ers had a chance to make a circuit around the edge of the field to thank the fans for their support. But he called the day “frustrating” for the way things played out. “Really, we just lost the one game and really only played two bad minutes the whole tournament. But that’s the beauty of sevens, the key moment when you come apart can be your undoing and can be the difference between playing in the finals and playing for the Plate or Bowl.” England, beat 5-0 by Canada in a tremendous defensive battle in pool play on Saturday, ran the table Sunday and

How Canada did Canada Women’s Sevens, April 16-17 Westhills Stadium Day 1 (pool play): Canada 38 Japan 0 -- Try scorers for Canada (Bianca Farella 2, Karen Paquin, Kayla Moleschi, Britt Benn, Kelly Russell) Canada 26 Ireland 0 -- (Kayla Mack 2, Farella, Russell) Canada 5 England 0 -- (Farella) Day 2 (playoffs): Cup quarter-finals France 14 Canada 12 -- (Farella, Moleschi) Plate semifinals Canada 27 Russia 0 -- (Paquin 2, Charity Williams, Megan Lukan, Benn) Plate final (fifth-sixth place) Canada 21 Spain 5 -- (Ghislaine Landry, Hannah Darling, Benn) Find more photos on the Goldstream Gazette Facebook page

won three straight games, including the Cup final 31-14 over New Zealand. The tournament results, which also saw three-time 2016 Cup winner Australia down France 19-12 for third, tightened up the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series standings somewhat. Australia (76 points) has a comfortable 12-point lead on the second-place Kiwis with just the France tournament left to play. But England’s win vaulted it past Canada into third with 60 points, four back of New Zealand. France gained a couple on Canada to pull within six of fourth spot. Asked whether this weekend’s results indicate a tightening of the field heading toward the 2016 Rio Olympics, Tait said it did, but also that much of what happens depends on injuries, for his team and others. “(England has their full squad out right out,” he said. “You’re looking at the Great Britain team for the Olympics. So our girls have confidence that we’re learning how to defend against these sides. And if we can add a little more to our attack and … looking after the ball at key times and

managing the clock a little bit better ahead of Rio then I think we’re going in in pretty good shape.” Tait said injuries to key individuals have meant the remaining starters have had to play a lot more minutes in the Series thus far. But he noted that younger players such as Charity Williams and Darling played admirably when called upon in Langford. They and other up and comers in the program will get a chance to gain more match experience at a tournament in London the week before the final leg on the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series in France, May 28 and 29. While the fifth-place finish was not what they hoped for, Moleschi said the Langford tournament provided many positive signs. “Our big takeaway from this weekend is starving (opponents) of possession,” she said. “We did it all weekend and it was just those two minutes that it came down to that we slipped up a bit. But we’re looking forward to showing that in France and showing that again at the Olympics.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Good B.C.s showing for Belmont

Belmont’s Jena Janmohamed heads upfield at Vic High during a pool round match against eventual champion Oak Bay at the B.C. high school girls sevens championships last week. In support are Madison Bullen, right, and Ashanti Whyte, behind. Oak Bay won this game 38-12, but Belmont essentially tied the second half.

Provincial rugby tournament sees Grade 9s gain good experience Fielding a team far younger than many of those entered in last weekend’s B.C. high school girls sevens rugby championship, the team from Belmont showed positive signs for the future of girls rugby at the school. Belmont placed 10th with a loss

in the Bowl final to Hugh McRoberts of Richmond, after beating Elgin Park in the semifinals. “The girls had the opportunity to play against some of the best players in the province and held their own,” said coach Charlotte Haley. “I also received a lot of positive feedback from fans in the crowd about how well they played. This is especially positive since we are mostly a Grade 9 team and we were missing one of our best players.” Belmont finished third in pre-

liminary round play. Theirs was arguably the pool of death, with finalists Oak Bay and Lake City from Williams Lake in the mix. The Bulldogs overwhelmed Nechako Valley from Vanderhoof 55-0 in one of their matches. Oak Bay won the crown Saturday at Westhills Stadium with a 38-0 decision over Lake City. The champs were ranked 15th, having not qualified through the Island tournament, but earned a wild card spot and fielded three national under-18 players. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

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.

Angels fall on Oak Bay Philanthropists host lunch to raise funds Christine van Reeuwyk Black Press

An estate in Oak Bay hosted a pretty posh soup kitchen last week to raise awareness and cash for Pacifica Housing. A group of philanthropic women dubbed Medewiwin Angels host the luncheon every second year, and when their venue fell through this year, Black Press owner David Black came through in a pinch, offering his Riffington estate on Beach Drive. The group creates a range of soups guests devour (and can take home for a small fee) for $50 per person. All proceeds from the event go toward supporting the tenants living in Medewiwin, on Gorge Road East, 26 units of independent, supported housing units for formerly homeless and those at risk of homelessness. “Mental illness in its many forms touches one out of every five Canadians, and although the stigma is slowly fading, it is not changing fast enough. Our 26 residents in Medewiwin still struggle at times, but they are warm and safe and they are valued,” said head angel Shirley Hunter, who noted providing supportive housing for those struggling with mental illness and addiction was a relatively new idea when she got involved. Alongside ladles of homemade soup and the takeaway containers,

Medewiwin Angels Valerie Foster (left) and Leslie Farmer serve soup during the philanthropic group’s luncheon held at Oak Bay’s Riffington (Black Press owner David Black’s home) in Uplands, in support of one of Pacifica Housing’s five supported housing complexes.

the ladies spread the message of their work. Leslie Farmer has been an angel for about eight years, since being recruited by Hunter. “It is one of the most hands-on, rewarding philanthropic endeavours I do,” Farmer said. Cutting a cheque is a grand gesture, but giving of her time and energy means mid-month grocery shopping for an entire complex. “We make sure they’ve got enough to get through the month,” Farmer said. “We make sure they get a birthday present and a goodie bag at Christmas … I’m sure I get more out of it than they do.” Soup day is an effective fundraiser – they only need to do it every two years – in part because of the awareness. This year’s event raised $12,140. “It costs us as taxpayers $9,400 a year to keep them there,” said Donna Thomas, adding a shelter bed costs $25,185 a year; jail $52,195 and psychiatric care $242,725. “Pacifica Housing is a great example of how not to put someone back on the street where the costs are tripled.” Pacifica provides more than 800 rental units – subsidized, supported and reduced market – in more than 30 sites across southern Vancouver Island, including the West Shore. The organization provides homes for more than 1,500 people in Greater Victoria, Duncan and Nanaimo. For more information go to pacificahousing.ca online. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

BC SPCA Wild ARC seeks spit â€˜nâ€™ polish volunteers to keep the rehabilitation centre running smoothly, making sure each wild patient has access to clean bedding, dishes and enclosures. Helping with the myriad support tasks essential to the well-being of the wild patients and is a great role for volunteers who may not be comfortable working directly with the animals, who want a little extra time to learn the wildlife rehabilitation ropes, or who require a flexible schedule. Please call Heather at 250-478-9453.
