Local youth help plant 1,000 trees Students join massive national collaboration NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Sixteen Ucluelet Secondary School students planted 1,000 Western red cedars in the Barkley Community Forest on May 9.

The field trip was part of the larger initiative dubbed the ‘TREE project’, which stems from Canada hosting the G7 Summit in Charlevoix, Quebec, in June 2018.

In a national collaboration between the Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association and the Government of Canada, about 100,000 trees are destined to be planted in 14 Canadian biosphere reserves to offset some of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with holding the G7 Summit.

“Three-thousand people are coming from all around the world to meet [for the G7]. By moving all to Quebec for one-and-a-half day they are producing 15,000 tonnes of carbon emission,” said Biosphere Reserve Coordinator, Prudence-Elise Breton. “We are working with 14 Biosphere Reserves across Canada to plant trees that will live for 50 years or more to offset this 15,000 tonnes of carbon emission.”

The fun day out in the forest began with a bumpy bus ride to the Barkley Community Forest on the Raincoast Education Society field school bus.

Sea lice issue gnawing at salmon farmer MICHAEL BRIONES michael.briones@pqbnews.com

An oceanic watchdog group has reported a massive outbreak of salmon lice in the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve recently. Clayoquot Action Campaigns stated that Cermaq Canada’s documentation on salmon lice for April showed the numbers of salmon lice on seven of their 14 Clayoquot farm sites are up to 10 times higher than the threshold which requires treatment. The regulatory threshold is three

Director Bonny Glambeck said the sea lice number has become worse in recent years but the latest episode “is absolutely through the roof; off the charts.”

“This outbreak is an environmental disaster — we are seeing wild juvenile salmon carrying lethal loads of salmon lice,” said Glambeck. “These fish have been given a death sentence.

Studies show there is no way these fish will survive to spawn and reproduce.”

Once onsite, the students were welcomed to Toquaht traditional territory by Denis Hetu.

“The Western red cedar is a First Nations commodity that was used a lot before contact. We would harvest it, which meant fall it, and then plank it so you get wedges and take planks of it and build things with them.

Everything from shelters, to nets, baskets, rope… rope was a big one. And canoe building of course. Mostly cedar was used by my people,” said Hetu.

After the introduction, site manager Cam Forester gave the students a brief tree planting overview before sending the kids onto the plot with shovels and seedlings.

“Here we are planting the next generation of forest. It will likely be harvested in 70 years,” said Forester. “Get the shovel in a little bit deeper than the root plug,” he demonstrated. “And than the motion that a tree-planter will do hundreds, maybe a thousand times a day, is they’ll take the plug, cradle it in their hand, slide it along the back of the shovel which gives them a nice firm and slippery surface, remove the shovel, straighten the tree and then I personally like to boot kick the hole close.”

For the majority of the students, tree-planting on a huge site like the Barkley Community Forest was a whole new adventure.

“I didn’t really know how to plant a tree,” said Toby Theriault.

Cedar Forest agreed.

“I didn’t know it was so specialized,” said Forest.

Rowan Mayes said he planted over 50 trees throughout the day.

USS student Toby Theriault plants a seedling at the Barkley Community Forest on May 9. The planting day was part of a national program geared to offset carbon emissions associated with the G7 Summit.

“It was the first time I ever done it so I thought it was pretty fun,” he said.

Jason Sam, USS Nuu-chahnulth education worker, helped co-ordinate the event alongside staff at the Clayoquot Biosphere Reserve and the Central Westcoast Forest Society.

“The kids did great. They got their physical education for the day. They got more than their daily 30-minutes they need.

There were lots of kids laughing and singing. Most of them warmed up overall and had a good time,” said Sam. The Group of Seven (G7) is an informal grouping of seven of the world’s advanced economies consisting of Canada,

France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The forum offers an opportunity for G7 Leaders, Ministers and policy makers to come together each year to build consensus and set trends around some of today’s most challenging global issues. The European Union (EU) was first invited to attend the G7 in 1977 and the President of the European Commission has attended all of its sessions since 1981.

Themes for the Canada’s 2018 G7 Summit include: advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment, working together on climate change, and investing in economic growth that works for everyone.

Joanna Streetly named Tofino’s first Poet Laureate NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

West Coast writer Joanna Streetly is coming up roses.

Her new book, ‘Wild Fierce Life: Dangerous Moments on the Outer Coast’, is a BC Bestseller and on April 30, at the tail end of National Poetry Month, she was appointed the honour of Tofino Poet Laureate.

The Poet Laureate program is a new iniatiative supported

by District of Tofino Council, the Tofino Arts Council, the Pacific Rim Arts Society (PRAS), and the Clayoquot Writers Group.

Streetly’s scope of service includes engaging with schools, managing a social media account, and of course, creating poetry.

She will be paid a $5,000 honorarium for a one-year term.PRAS president, Mark Penney, thinks it’s healthy to recognize poetry and literature as an art form.

“We are enamoured with the idea of self expression for the community and finding a voice,” he said.

Penney told the Westerly the selection process was not an easy one, and that Streetly was elected based on integrity and not superficial appeal.

Local writer Joanna Streetly has earned the title of Tofino’s first-ever Poet Laureate.

“She is known to go for the difficult and challenging subjects.”

During a phone interview, Streetly confirmed she had several profound topics under consideration.

“For poets, there are often things that bother you. You know, they rumble around in your head for a really long time and eventually they need out,” she said.

One of the projects she

would like to do with the school students revolves around how life was in the Tofino before the road was built. Another subject she is fascinated about is the soundscape of the region.

“It would be a video poem that will involve local poets.

We would include natural sound and the newer sounds that are creeping in.”

Streetly said she was also quite interested in interview-

ing people who cleaned up the last oil spill on the Coast and get first hand experiences.

“I think the role of the poet laureate is not so much to be elevated above any other poet, but more to reach out to the community and elicit poetry from the community that is already here.”

$12M barge to tackle sea lice From A1 The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is aware of the excess sea lice at Cermaq’s facilities, as it regularly conducts assessments. Communications adviser Michelle Rainer said they’ve had an ongoing discussion with Cermaq since January 2018 about measures to reduce sea lice.

Under the Pacific Aquaculture Regulations, DFO requires salmon farming companies to regularly monitor and manage sea lice levels at their facilities in British Columbia. Companies must submit a lice reduction plan if monitoring shows levels higher than the regulatory threshold during the wild salmon outmigration period from March 1 to June 30 of each year.

Salmon farming companies, Rainer said, use an in-feed therapeutant called SLICE (emamectin benzoate) to reduce lice abundance. In cases where the use of SLICE does not result in

CLAYOQUOT ACTION PHOTO

A massive outbreak of salmon lice recently reported in the Clayoquot Sound is threatening juvenile salmon. adequate reduction of sea lice, companies can apply to the province for a permit to use alternative treatments, including Paramove, a hydrogen peroxide bath.

Glambeck said none of the treatments are working at all.

“We don’t expect the new pesticides that they want to use will work,” said Glambeck. “It’s not working in Norway right now. Basically the industry is unable to control sea lice. So that’s why we want to see these farms come out of the oceans.”

Glambeck added that

without salmon farms, wild salmon would not encounter salmon lice until they are adults, big enough to handle them. Juvenile salmon can only carry a load of one louse per gram of body weight — even two lice per smolt is a lethal load, said Glambeck.

The DFO is investigating the management of lice at farms in Clayoquot by Cermaq Canada to determine if there has been non-compliance with the licence conditions. Rainer said they cannot comment further at this time.

Cermaq Canada’s managing director, David Kiemele, said the company takes this matter very seriously and is actively addressing it.

“We have removed significant numbers of fish from several farms and continue to remove additional fish and treat remaining farms as quickly as possible,” he said.

“Longer-term, Cermaq has committed to a $12 million state-of-the-art lice management barge that will be in place early next year, which will allow us to prevent this repeating itself in the future.”

B.C. Views

Province has new greenhouse gas target to miss B.C. Environment Minister George Heyman has unveiled the NDP-Green government’s brave new greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, without giving any real hint of how these will succeed where decades of previous targets have not.

The old targets from the Gordon Campbell government were based on 2007 emissions, announced as B.C. adopted Canada’s first significant carbon tax on fuels in 2008.

They were a 33 per cent reduction by 2020, and a breath-taking 80 per cent by 2050.

Former premier Christy Clark acknowledged a couple of years ago that the first target wasn’t going to be met, as her government worked overtime to develop a liquefied natural gas export industry. Heyman formalized that in legislation presented last week.

The new target is a 40 per cent reduction by 2030, based on 2007 levels. The 2050 target of 80 per cent less carbon dioxide and equivalent gases remains, looking about as achievable now as it did when it was set a

decade ago. To make it, barring some sort We expect to work with all industries to see of technological miracle, much of B.C. will how we’re going to meet the reductions they be back to using horses and buggies, if not need to make overall.

or provincial government is very forthcoming with that information. The most recent data I could find from either source is from 2015, showing a modest reduction between 2005 and 2015. The previous B.C. government provided some emission tracking data as the carbon tax started going up in small steps. It showed a big drop-off after 2008, which everyone except then-environment minister Terry Lake acknowledged was a result of a world-wide recession and financial crisis that ground investment and construction to a halt. The B.C. economy was ticking along pretty well in 2007, lots of cars and trucks being bought, lots of construction and so on. Nothing like today, however, with population up substantially and concrete high-rise construction everywhere you look in major urban centres.

Our gasoline prices are at record highs, and despite that I’m pretty sure our greenhouse gas emissions are too.

The only real plan so far is to keep raising taxes until emissions fall.

Park Reserve’s trail budget up in the air Timeline and cost under review ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The Pacific Rim National Park Reserve will soon be seeking out contractors to start working on the next phase of the ‘Ups-cheek ta-shee’ trail it is building to connect its north and south borders.

“When built, this new multi-use trail will give generations of residents, Canadians, and visitors the opportunity to explore the Pacific Rim region by bike or by foot and in a greener and more experiential way,” the Park Reserve’s superintendent Karen Haugen told the Westerly News via email.

The trail was announced by the federal government in 2016 and its budget was initially set at $17.7 million, but it’s unclear if that’s still the expected price tag as Haugen said the project’s budget is being reassessed.

“As stewards of the land, Parks Canada is responsible for ensuring building does not outpace our environmental, social and legal obligations. As such, we

are taking some additional time to finalize the design of the trail before we begin the next phase of construction. We will share more information about the schedule and budget once these details are finalized,” Haugen said. “By taking some additional time now, we can meet our obligations and ensure Canadians will be able to enjoy the new trail for generations to come.”

Haugen said the trail’s design and other details are being finalized and a Request for Proposals will soon be posted for the project’s next step.

“The next stage of construction would include preparation of the trail bed and activities such as bringing in gravel, installing drainage culverts, and building bridges,” she said.

Construction the roughly District of on Ucluelet 22-kilometre trail started in 2016 when trees began being cleared District ofnorth Ucluelet from the park’s end and a route from Incinerator Rock to the southern boundary was cleared in early 2018.

“While we don’t have the exact number of trees removed, as work on [Ups-cheek ta-shee] progresses, Parks Canada is taking a responsive approach by adapting trail alignment, design, and building activities to each unique area of the park reserve where the trail will pass to limit environmental impact,” Haugen said. “For example: modifying and refining the trail route and design to bypass large, old-growth trees and ephemeral ponds; incorporating

data from a Traditional Use Study and advice from local First Nations; and, re-routing to avoid newly discovered archaeological sites.”

Haugen said “extensive environmental, archaeological and geotechnical studies” were completed before the clearing work began and a route was mapped out, but that route has been altered several times as crews have discovered a variety of important historic sites.

“The west coast of Vancou-

ver Island has a long history of human habitation, dating back many thousands of years. Archaeologists have identified a number of Indigenous and settler sites in the national park reserve,” she said. “For the safety of visitors, and to protect and preserve the integrity of these sites, the trail has been re-routed in some instances. We continue to work with the local Indigenous communities to assess each site as they are identified.”

Reed Platenius wins Rip Curl Men’s Open NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Tofino saw a lot of high quality surfing this weekend, with the exception of Saturday’s visit from a fog cloud that overextended its welcome at Cox Bay. The drawn-out coastal haze put the 12th annual Rip Curl Pro Tofino on pause for a rather irksome length of time. “[Saturday] was pretty challenging, but we go it done.

Thanks to everyone for your understanding on some of the quick thinking that we had to do along the way. It paid off. It was a pretty epic day and I’m pretty excited about getting it done and the level of surfing that we had seen,” said Rip Curl Pro event director, Nick Russell, at Sunday’s awards ceremonies.

“I really, really want to thank the judges. That day, it was a nightmare up there [in the judges booth]. They did such a great job. They are incredible. They pulled a 16-hour day and they got it done,” he said.

Tofino’s Reed Platenius,14, put on an above stellar performance, taking the men’s open title and the under-16 boys title. The weekend before, he claimed the under16 national title at Wickaninnish Beach.

“It’s pretty hectic. It’s been fun having all the guys here from all around the world basically and that’s been pushing me the whole week. It’s been go, go, go,” said Platenius.

“I feel like I’m in a good state.

My boards are good. Just everything feels good. My body feels good and surfing, I’m stoked about it right now,” he said, adding that he’s excited to compete in the men’s pro division next year.

Mathea Olin, a newly signed Rip Curl athlete, surfed her way to the top of the under-16 girls podium and finished second in the pro/amateur women’s event.

“We had really good swell, but there’s been really tricky sidebars and quite extreme tides. It’s been really, really hard to get out and really, really tiring. But there’s definitely been some really fun waves to be had. For the finals, all the girls were out there ripping.

14-year-old Reed Platenius gets carried off the beach and onto the podium after winning back-to-back events at the 12th annual Rip Curl Pro Tofino at Cox Bay. We’re just all having a blast,” said Olin.

“Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing mom. She’s been down here all day supporting me. And thank you to all my sponsors,” Olin went on to say.

San Clemente, California professional surfer Tia Blanco,21, was crowned the Rip Curl Pro Tofino women’s pro queen.

“This is my third time to Tofino. It’s one of my favourite places on the earth. I’ve travelled to so many different countries and I absolutely love this surf town.

I was super happy to compete here and have a really fun weekend,” said Blanco, who is vying for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as a member of Team Puerto Rico.

Elijah Fox, 18, took home the 2018 Rip Curl Pro Tofino men’s pro title. The California-based surfer beat Dane Anderson in the final heat of the day by a score of 14.77 to 13.43. Team Canada surf coach, Shannon Campbell Brown, made the semi-finals alongside Californian-Canadian Cody Young. Last year’s Rip Curl Pro champ, Peter Devries, was taken out in round three.

Fox told the Westerly it took about 10-minutes to get past the white wash on day one and day two of the competition.

“It mellowed out [for the finals] and there was less swell.

The waves opened up more and it was really fun. There are so many good competitors in this contest.

I was so stoked to make it to the final and take it out,” he said.

In the longboard division, Hawaiian big wave surfer Paige Alms cruised her way to first place in a close heat between Hanna Scott, Kate Prothero, and Emily Ballard.

“I competed in the longboard just for fun because I got convinced to be a part of Nationals and I figured if I’m bringing a longboard here I may as well do [Rip Curl Pro] also. It was more just for shits and giggles personally,” said Alms.

“It was super challenging paddling out there with a longboard.

It was way harder than with a shortboard. We take duckdiving for granted. I forgot. I’m just

super happy. It’s been a really fun event to be a part of,” said the two-time Big Wave Tour title winner.

Sooke resident and family man, Christian Thomson, won the men’s longboard division.

Tofino’s Darren Lundquist was second, Robbie Ferguson third, and Asia Dryden placed fourth.

“I think Cox Bay when it gets double overhead is pretty tricky,” he said.

“It’s more of a stamina challenge, but the waves that we got for paddling out were definitely well-worth the paddle.”

Ben Cockcroft claimed the legends (over 50) title and Declan Lee-Smith won the masters (over 35) event.

Mayoral musings

Private market won’t solve housing woes

Osborne says municipalities should not be risk takers, but must invest in infrastructure Every summer I receive letters and e-mails from concerned business owners and visitors about the condition of certain Tofino roads.

They understandably argue that we need to do a better job maintaining them because they are key to their business success and to the community’s economic Josie Osborne prosperity.

Some refer to them as ‘core infrastructure.’

What is ‘core infrastructure?’

First used in late 19th century France, the term ‘infrastructure’ referred to the tunnels, bridges, culverts and ‘infrastructure work’ of the French railroad system. It re-emerged after World War II as a term used to describe the basic organizational structures and facilities (e.g., buildings, roads, and power supplies) necessary for the operations of armed forces.

Today, infrastructure has come to mean any large capital investment essential or necessary to

“Partnering with experienced non-profit housing developers is a wise move to reduce risk.”

– Josie Osborne a city or country’s society and economy but typically too large, or too critical, to be run at a profit or trusted to the private sector. In Canada, think schools, hospitals, bridges, roads, tunnels, airports.

So, what about housing? The military knows it needs housing to run a successful operation, so views it as core infrastructure.

Resorts and ski hills know they need seasonal housing to run a successful operation, so they build it or buy it. Smaller businesses also depend on housing to attract employees, but they are less able to acquire it the way larger businesses can.

And communities need enough adequate rental and ownership housing for all the people it takes to make a vibrant community, from artists to baristas to librari-

ans, from teachers to taxi drivers to retirees.

Aside from staff accommodation built on hotel or resort lands, Tofino has not seen new purpose-built rental housing for over three decades. As anyone who’s recently built a home knows, the price of land and construction make for an expensive endeavour, so no wonder so many private developers build condos or homes to sell, realize their profit, and move on to the next project. Few developers have the interest, the cash, the gumption, and the patience to build long-term rental units and wait decades to make their money back. And what about long-term rental suites in single family zones? They’re harder and harder to find since some private homeowners, when given the choice, often feel forced to consider short-term rentals in their secondary suites in order to afford the mortgage.

It is clear that we cannot rely on the private market alone to solve our housing woes in Tofino, and doubly clear that the private market will not dependably provide purpose-built rental hous-

ing in Tofino. That is, unless we are willing to seriously consider densities above and beyond what our OCP calls for, sharing some of infrastructure costs private developers would normally bear themselves, and possibly even consider property tax ‘holidays’ (a period of time where property tax is reduced or eliminated on a rental housing project).

The Tofino Housing Corporation has steadily been working these past months on concepts and funding proposals to build affordable and attainable rental housing on municipal land, and in the coming weeks will be asking for the community’s help in fine-tuning these concepts (after all, this housing will literally be community owned). Unlike a private developer, there will be no cost of land in this endeavour.

Yet still, the difference between the rent an average worker in Tofino can afford to pay and the loan payments on the true cost of infrastructure and building construction results in an “affordability gap” which could be as much as $100,000 on a typical rental unit. And that’s with free

land. Municipalities are not risk takers – and they shouldn’t be – which is why investment in affordable housing by senior levels of government will be important to close this affordability gap – but early indications are that even senior levels of government will not be providing enough for Tofino to close the gap.

So what’s it going to take? The Province’s proposal to permit municipalities the option to use the incremental Municipal and Regional District Tax (MRDT) collected by AirBnB could be a good start.

Partnering with experienced non-profit housing developers is a wise move to reduce risk.

But to completely close the affordability gap, Tofino must invest directly in affordable rental housing – just like resorts and ski hills do, just like the military does. Because, for communities like Tofino to survive and thrive, we need core infrastructure such as roads, schools, hospitals – and affordable rental housing.
