Rumoured PM visit sparks contention Justin Trudeau expected in Tofino ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Rumours are swirling that Justin Trudeau and his family are headed to Tofino for the third consecutive summer and, in fact, might already have arrived, but the Canadian Prime Minister’s reception is not expected to be as warm as years’ past.

Trudeau’s recent $4.5 billion Trans Mountain Pipeline purchase, failure to resolve a longstanding legal fight over Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation fishing rights and a lack of federal funding for local shoreline cleanups and salmon restoration efforts has buffed some of the shine off the ‘Trudeaumania’ the town experienced during his visit in 2016.

Tofino-based environmental group Friends of Clayoquot Sound issued an open letter to the community on July 19 urging local businesses to deny service to Trudeau and for residents to document their interactions with the Prime Minister.

Fisherman missing ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Victoria’s Joint Rescue Coordination Centre has scaled back its search for an Ahousaht fisherman who went missing near Flores Island on Sunday.

“After an extensive 2 day search for the missing canoeist off Tofino, the JRCC has called a search reduction and handed this case to Ahousaht RCMP as a missing persons case,” the JRCC said in a statement Monday night. “The Ahousaht Emergency Operations Centre is continuing the search with local vessels and Ground SAR teams. Our thoughts are with the loved ones of the missing.”

The man had left Ahousaht in a canoe to go fishing around 11 a.m.

Sunday morning and was only expected to be gone for one hour, according to the JRCC. Continued on A12

Ucluelet’s former mayor wants his old job back.

Bill Irving had spent 25 years on council, 12 as mayor, before losing his re-election bid to current mayor Dianne St. Jacques by nine votes—303 to 294—in 2014’s municipal election.

Irving confirmed to the Westerly News on Tuesday that he plans to run for mayor again this fall.

“This community has got some phenomenal opportunities and assets and, with the right team, we could be pushing ahead on some very significant fronts.

I think I could be a huge resource for making those things happen,” he said.

“I know sitting on council, people don’t often see all the work you’re doing in the background. But, I think there’s a real sense that Bill Irving there’s huge opportunities ahead of us and we need the kind of leadership that develops the plan, provides the tools and then just gets it done.”

Irving said two of his key priorities will be Ucluelet’s harbour and the former Coast Guard lands at Amphitrite Point, which have been vacant since Ucluelet’s MCTS station shut down in 2012.

He said his previous council had put together a harbour development plan that he fears may have fallen off the current council’s desk.

“We have one of the most unique harbours on the B.C. Coast and we have to really take advantage of the opportunities for funding and improvements,” he said. “We were very aggressive on the harbour and for some reason that’s not gone ahead…I know you have to be sitting at that [council] table to know all the bits and pieces, but I do think there were some huge issues and opportunities that seem to have stalled and I’d like to get those back on track.”

He added he’s eyeing the former Coast Guard building for economic development.

“The former council I was on developed a strategy for that land. One of the priorities being to try to attract universities and institutes to do climate change, marine studies and oil spill response studies,” he said.

“That’s a huge economic driver in the sense of professors and students and faculty from

all over the world coming to Ucluelet to study…That would be a tremendous asset.”

Irving has kept busy over the past four years, most notably working with the Tofino Bible Fellowship and Tofino Housing Corporation on an affordable housing project in Tofino, which he said offered him a different perspective on dealing with council.

“You can see the layers of bureaucracy that are often very frustrating for people so, I think, it’s important for us to step up as a community and start saying, ‘how do we streamline our application and planning processes to make it more amenable to businesses and how do we provide incentives to help them fulfill their investment desires?’,” he said.

“I think that’s an important step that needs to be taken.”

He added he believes funding opportunities for local pursuits abound under B.C.’s current coalition government headed by the NDP and the Green Party as well as the federal Liberal government.

“Something I miss is working with the senior governments to push the West Coast agenda…There’s huge funding pools developing in provincial and federal levels that already exist for both the harbour and for housing so, I think, this is an extremely important time to be a really progressively active, dynamic, council,” he said.

“If you’re not busy doing and getting the kinds of things we envision with a good solid plan then, I think, you’re moving backwards; you’re stalling and letting our businesses down.”

Ucluelet’s municipal election will be held on Oct. 20.

Current mayor Dianne St. Jacques has not yet confirmed if she will run for re-election, but current councillor Randy Oliwa has announced his plan to run for mayor this year.

Truck catches fire at junction

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Ucluelet police are advising drivers to carry fire extinguishers in their vehicles after a pickup truck became engulfed in flames on the highway between Tofino and Ucluelet Sunday morning.

Ucluelet’s Deputy Fire Chief Mark Fortune said the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames when the Volunteer Fire Brigade arrived at the scene around 10:30 a.m. and that it took roughly six minutes to extinguish the fire. The highway was closed for several minutes while the crew battled the blaze.

Const. Matthew Crist of the Ucluelet RCMP said the fire is believed to have been caused by a mechanical issue and is not considered suspicious. He said the driver, a West Coast resident who was the sole oc-

“The information that we received from the driver was he noted smoke first of all coming from outside of the vehicle

and he pulled over to the side of the highway and got out of the truck and noticed a small amount of flame coming from one of the wheels,” Crist said.

“Had he had a fire extinguisher with him, it’s quite possible he

could have doused the fire. But, without that on hand, it quickly escalated and fully engulfed the truck. We do recommend that everybody carries a fire extinguisher in their vehicle for just that reason.”

$500K for Hesquiaht hydro project ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The Hesquiaht First Nation’s transition from diesel generators to hydropower at Hot Springs Cove received a $500,000 boost on Friday thanks to an equity grant from the provincial government.

Hot Springs Cove does not have access to the BC Hydro grid and currently relies largely on diesel powered generators.

The Hesquiaht have partnered with the Barkley Project Group on a $13.7 million, 350-kilowatt power plant at Ahtaapq Creek that is expected to decrease diesel consumption by about 76 per cent and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 627 tonnes, according to a July

“The First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund has been an effective tool for us to pursue this project,” Hes-

quiaht First Nation Chief Richard Lucas said through the announcement. “First, it provided money for a feasibility study, and now this equity investment has allowed us to secure the federal funding we need to make this project a reality.”

Decreasing Hot Springs Cove’s diesel dependency will also decrease the amount of fuel being barged in from Tofino each year.

“The shift to reliable, clean energy opens up opportunities, supports ingenuity and makes life better for people in remote First Nations communities, like Hot Springs Cove,” said B.C.’s Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Scott Fraser.

“The First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund provides critical support to First Nations, so they can get remote-electrification projects off the ground and access further funding through the federal government.”

The Hesquiaht’s hydropower plant is expected to be complete in March, 2019.

Human remains discovered near Tofino ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Human remains were discovered near Tofino last week.

The B.C. Coroners Service confirmed that remains were found near Echachist Island on July 18.

“I can confirm that we’re in the early stages of an investigation involving unidentified human remains found,” Coroners Service communications manager Andy Watson told the Westerly News on July 19. “The remains were discovered in the water. We are currently doing the work to determine the identity of

250-726-2228 250-725-2038

the deceased.”

The identity of the remains had not been released on July 23. Echachist Island is near the area that a vessel carrying five men sank on June 15.

Two of the men reached shore safely, but Tla-o-qui-aht fishermen Marcel Martin, Carl Michael and Terrance Brown Jr. remain unaccounted for.

A GoFundMe Page for the men’s families was launched on June 20 and had raised $39,723 of its $90,000 goal on July 23.

In a video posted on the GoFundMe page, Tla-oqui-aht elected Chief Moses Martin noted all three men

had young children and families.

“It’s a difficult thing to lose anyone, never mind three of them at the same time,” Martin said. “They lived on the ocean, those three guys, and made their living for their families on the ocean and now they’re gone. We need to do everything we can to support the families in whatever way we can.”

A Tla-o-qui-aht spokesperson said the search for the three missing men has continued.

“We have teams on the ground and on the water,” the spokesperson said. “The

families have been grieving for about a month now and this comes at a time where hopefully it can give some closure to the families, but also brings up a lot of emotions for everyone involved…

We’re going to keep on searching at the request of the families and we’re hoping more closure can be found for the families.”

He added the families are seeking space to grieve and heal.

“It’s a really sensitive time,” he said. “There’s a lot of speculation and that doesn’t really allow a lot of space for people to heal.”

TRENDING ONLINE KEY STEPS TO GETTING OUT OF CREDIT CARD DEBT: Do you have any tips to share?

Pay off credit card each month, so you don’t get charged interest. Get it lowered if you can’t do that. I also heard of people that actually freeze their credit card, so if they want to use it, they have to wait for it to thaw, and you’ll know if you really need or want it, you’ll be willing to wait...And, now that most bank credits are debit-visas they work online, so use it instead.

By doing that, we got our credit card down to a 500 limit, and makes it a lot more manageable.

Justin Trudeau elicits strong local reactions From A1

“Be bold and creative, it is not often we have the potential to reach a politician whose decisions impact our lives,” the letter states.

FOCS campaigner Jeh Custerra told the Westerly News that Trudeau must be held accountable, regardless of whether he’s on vacation.

“Coming to the place that you’re disrespecting and looking the people that you’re disrespecting in the eye, that’s just arrogant. If he likes the tar sands so much, maybe he should go vacation in Northern Alberta,” Custerra said. “This is part of us protecting what we love out here. When someone comes around who’s disrespecting it, we stand up to say, ‘No. That’s not right.’ That’s a West Coast tradition.”

Longtime activist Bonny Glambeck would neither confirm nor deny that Clayoquot Action, the environmental organization she co-founded in 2013, is planning any demonstrations during Trudeau’s suspected visit.

“We want to keep our cards close to our chest,” she said. “I think that, obviously, the element of surprise in a situation like this is helpful.”

She suggested Trudeau’s government has broken promises made around reconciliation with First Nations as well as the environment and climate change.

“We believe everybody deserves to have a holiday and this is a very beautiful, worldclass, destination. He and his family deserve to have a holiday just like everybody else. However, on a political level, we’re not happy at all with Trudeau,” she said.

Tofino mayor Josie Osborne said she is not surprised to hear strong reactions to the rumours of the Prime Minister coming to town.

“I think a person in his position understands well that, everywhere he goes, there will be people who do not like him,” she said. “If people want to organize protests or make statements, they should absolutely go ahead and do so. I personally hope that people will just leave him alone, frankly…I fully support people’s right to

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shakes hands with Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation member Terry Dorward after a meeting on August 5, 2017.

“It’s possible to visit Tofino and be very private and he may choose that route.”

– Josie Osborne organize the way they wish to, to make statements or have protests or whatever they do, but I think that can be done in a way that doesn’t necessarily interfere with his family.”

She doubted that any displays of opposition to Trudeau would affect Tofino’s reputation as a welcoming tourism destination.

“If anything, it just shows that people who live in Tofino are passionate, they care, they have opinions and they don’t mind making them known,” she said. “I’m sympathetic to anybody who wants to come to Tofino and simply have a vacation. At the same time, I think, politicians especially, have chosen a career that puts

themselves out there, so to speak, and that they can expect to be approached by people on the street. In this case, a lot of this is really under [Trudeau’s] control as to how public he wishes to be. It’s possible to visit Tofino and be very private and he may choose that route.”

Tofino is within the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, which has had a tumultuous relationship with Trudeau, declaring him unwelcome in their territory in 2016 over what they felt was a lack of good faith in their fishing rights negotiations, but welcoming him back in the spirit of reconciliation the following year.

Responding to the Westerly News via email on Friday, Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation project co-ordinator and elected councillor Terry Dorward said the Prime Minister’s office has not been in touch with Tla-o-qui-aht about a potential visit, which would be “unfortunate” if Trudeau does arrive as the First Nation explained their protocols to Trudeau during his last visit in 2017.

“If the Trudeau government is serious about nation to nation talks with Indigenous sovereign nations, then the Prime Minister must ask permission to enter our Tla-o-qui-aht Tyee Hawilth, Hi-youah (Head chief Ray Seitcher) lands,” he wrote. “This refusal of how we, as Nuuchah-nulth peoples show respect when entering into another people’s lands is a sign of ignorance and disrespect.”

Dorwood reiterated that the Tla-oqui-aht have explained their protocols to Trudeau and added that it would be frustrating to see the Prime Minister come and go without any meetings taking place.

“Our Tla-o-qui-aht leadership has many pressing issues that need to be discussed with the head of the Canadian state such as the protection of wild salmon, Nuuchah-nulth fisheries case, so-called Crown lands, tenure reform and many other issues relating to underfunded social programs,” he wrote.

Fisheries critic calls for land-based fish farms NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

NDP critic for Fisheries, Oceans and Canadian Coast Guard, MP Fin Donnelly, toured Vancouver Island last week advocating for wild salmon.

He introduced Bill C-228, which would amend the Fisheries Act by requiring B.C. salmon farms to move from open-net farms to closed containment systems.

“I believe after looking at this for almost 10 years as an elected official, that this is the best solution we have; to move these farms out of the ocean and onto land,” MP Donnelly said at a town hall event in Tofino on Thursday.

“I think that’s the way forward. Get these farms out of the ocean. Lower their impact on wild salmon and still keep the jobs.”

It has been widely reported that wild salmon exposed to open-net fish farms are more likely to pick up infectious disease, such as sea lice and piscine reovirus (PRV). Research conducted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) shows that PRV was first detected on the West Coast of Canada in 2011 from farmed Chinook salmon.

NORA O’MALLEY PHOTO

MP Fin Donnelly has proposed a bill to get open-net fish farms, like the one pictured above located in Clayoquot Sound, out of the ocean and onto land.

“Get these farms out of the ocean.”

– Finn Donnelly Some studies suggest that PRV is associated with Heart and and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation (HSMI), which weakens the salmon to a point where they can barely swim.

Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation

councillor Joe Martin spoke at Thursday’s town hall event.

Martin grew up in the village of Opitsaht on Meares Island near Tofino.

“I’ve been on the land all my life,” said the master canoe carver and tour operator. “One of the things I’ve really noticed on the inlets here, Fortune Channel and Gunner Inlet, all the places where the fish farms are now, is

there is seaweed, which used to be all nice and clear and clean, now it’s covered with sledge. It’s from the fish farms. I’m sure it’s from them. Certainly since the salmon farms have been in our waters, our wild stock have not been increasing.”

Recently, Washington state passed legislation to phase out open-net Atlantic salmon farms after an incident last summer

saw tens of thousand of invasive Atlantic salmon escape into the Pacific Ocean. Donnelly thinks the time to move to new technology is now.

“You look at the whole Coast, Alaska doesn’t do it, Northern B.C. doesn’t do it, now Washington or Oregon, they don’t do it.

The only place left that is doing open-net pen salmon farming is southern B.C. I think the days are numbered,” he said.

Norwegian farmed-salmon firm Atlantic Sapphire is building a massive land-based aquaculture facility in Florida, according to a press release on seafoodsource.com.

The first phase of the project, which will cost around $100 million USD, is expected to produce 22 million pounds of fish per year.

A new group called BC LandAqua Ventures Inc. is trying to develop a land-based aquaculture facility on Vancouver Island, north of Campbell River.

“That for me is the game changer. Now government has a decision to make. They either approve it or not,” said Donnelly, adding that BC LandAqua has already raised about half of the $20-$40 million in private sector capital they would need to make the large-scale, closed-containment salmon farm a go.

Saanich homeless camp hit with court injunction The eventual fate of almost 100 homeless individuals has moved into a Victoria court room after the District of Saanich has filed a court injunction against Camp Namegans, the official name of the tent city at Regina Park.

The municipality said in a release Tuesday morning its court injunction filed Monday in British Columbia Supreme Court calls on camp residents to immediately vacate Regina Park to “allow for fire risks and other hazards in the park to be addressed.”

Saanich said the continued occupation of Regina Park “has and continues to negatively impact on the local residential and business community” in violation of Saanich’s bylaws.

The encampment has also placed an “enormous burden” on Saanich’s financial resources, including required support from police, fire, and parks staff, it reads.

At the same time, it continues to remain unsafe for the occupants, first responders and others who may visit the park, it reads.

Authorities have scheduled a hearing for the week of August 13.

Many have expected this move, after Saanich and the provincial government had issued three earlier notices, with two coming from Saanich. It posted a “notice to vacate” on June 8 and a “notice to cease occupation” on July 12.

“Saanich issued these notices with the goal of achieving voluntary compliance,” it reads.

“In reply, the occupants have indicated they intend to maintain the encampment.”

ISLAND IN BRIEF

Saanich said the camp residents may use 102 of Saanich’s 172 parks for temporary overnight shelter from the hours of 7 p.m. to 9 a.m., including Regina Park.

Saanich also said that it continues to assist the provincial government by exploring options for social housing, but lacks the means to fund or develop new social housing on its own.

“Responsibility for social housing, mental health care and treatment and support for addictions rests with the province, and Saanich will continue to support the province in its efforts to invest in solutions to these issues,” it reads.

The incidents snarled traffic for thousands of commuters late Sunday afternoon.

According to Deborah Marshall, executive director of public affairs at BC Ferries, the Spirit of British Columbia returned to Swartz Bay shortly after departing because an elderly woman fell.

She said the delay was unfortunate, but that “most people understand when there’s a medical emergency that crews obviously need to take action.”

Marshall said the ferry would likely depart again after the incident is over, because it is fully loaded with traffic.

The public will be notified when the ship sets sail again.

Early Summer Swell by Rika

‘Set your heart free’ at sculpture park ERIN LINN MCMULLAN Special to the Westerly

Every paradise deserves a garden “just to set the heart free (sol per sfogare il Core)” a motto informing George Patterson’s creation of an almost mythical landscape populated by touchable sculptures amidst voluptuous flora and rainforest.

Patterson explains he adopted this guiding principal from Monster’s Grove in Bomarzo, Italy to develop his 20-year masterwork in a “synergistic and symbiotic” way.

“Art interrupts our expectations—great music is that way,” says Patterson.

“The garden brings out qualities that aren’t seen in indoor art, and the art makes points about the garden. When it works best everything around it is improved.”

That joyous abandon is embodied by Michael Dennis’s ‘Sashaying Woman’ and by his red-painted couple inviting brides and grooms to join in their ‘Wild Dance.’

“I like having my work in this botanical garden setting because people who have no preconceptions about art will encounter it and react spontaneously,” says Dennis, who enjoys the honest reactions of children who might also be inspired to make art.

Here where shorebirds’ cries co-mingle with crowing roosters, the elements work their magic—sprouting a shock of sapling-hair and a moss soul patch on the first Dennis figure to start this collection of works on-loan by prominent BC and local sculptors.

That organic element is even part of the grand design from the visitor’s kinaesthetic experience of Mowry Baden’s rainwater-filled bowl to the tree that supports, and will someday encompass, the shocking bullet-riddled candy-apple red metal interpreting ‘a cultural or industrial log’ in Daniel Lascarin’s ‘Things Fall Apart’.

“This will take years, of course,” says Lascarin, “and that’s also fine — things can move slowly.”

“George clearly likes the element of surprise and so do I,” says Baden. “People wander around the garden choosing this path or that, hopefully visiting them all, unconvinced that all the surprises have been exhausted.”

Like the charred hands, shooting up through daisies created by local sculptor Dan Law to express, “hope and despair, beauty and brokenness,” relics of a documentary addressing Celtic spirituality and impending environmental crisis.

“For me, The Gardens hold a special place within the Tofino Arts sphere,” says Law. “Through a lot of hard work, determination, and remarkable patience, George has created a delightful and unique ‘garden gallery’ of west coast art and culture.”

Juxtaposed between barn and frog pond, Greg Snider’s ‘Skidder’ symbolizes the last barrel of oil and is one of the gardens most asked about pieces.

“Now is the right time for critical sculpture,” stresses Snider. “When the digital and the virtual and other forms of (mis) representation command most of the public’s attention, the idea of the object, with its ability to present tractable meanings through actual things, seems more urgent than ever.”

Whether art-making gives experience to “those questions we haven’t yet figured out how to ask,” as Lascarin suggests, or as Dennis believes connects with a primal place in our nervous system tracing back to our ancestors, this garden oasis invites catharsis.

“Consciously or unconsciously, art helps us to figure things out,” agrees Patterson, citing its seven functions as outlined in Art as Therapy (de Botton, A., Armstrong, J.): remembering, hope, sorrow, rebalancing, self-understanding, growth and appreciation.

Art’s questioning process, muses Lascarin, is a platform for dreams.
