‘Ukee’, an adult male Steller sea lion that was shot in Ucluelet, is in critical condition at the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre. Watch a video of the large animal’s rescue at www.WesterlyNews.ca

Shooting of sea lion sparks investigation “This is clearly a serious animal welfare issue.”

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A sea lion, believed to have been shot in Ucluelet, remained in critical condition at the Vancouver Aquarium’s Marine Mammal Rescue Centre on Monday.

“This is clearly a serious animal welfare issue,” said the Vancouver Aquarium’s head veterinarian Dr. Martin Haulena. “It is unacceptable to shoot sea lions. Based on his body condition, this individual has been suffering for many weeks.”

The adult male Steller sea lion was spotted in distress in Ucluelet on Oct. 10 and a rescue team comprised of Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Vancouver Aquarium personnel as well as Parks Canada staffers, RCMP and volunteers, arrived on Oct. 11 to pull the animal off the beach, with support from a crane provided by Windsor Plywood, and transport it to the Rescue Centre.

Upon examination, Vancouver Aquarium veterinarian Dr. Megan Strobel determined the sea lion had been shot in the head and had at least one bullet lodged in its skull.

Strobel said the sea lion, which she believes is around 9 years old, weighs roughly 350 kilograms.

That’s significantly undersized as a healthy male Steller sea lion can reach around 800 kilograms.

“He’s very skinny, very lethargic,” she said The animal has been named ‘Ukee’.

“We’d like to share our appreciation for the community of Ucluelet,” Strobel said.

“It was a challenging rescue, and we couldn’t have done it without them. Even the police chief [Sgt. Steve Mancini] was there and offered up his vessel if the animal went in the water after receiving an injection to sedate him.”

Dr. Haulena added that community members did the right thing by reporting ‘Ukee’ to both DFO and the Rescue Centre and he encourages

– Dr. Martin Haulena anyone who spots a marine mammal in distress to never approach the animal, but to immediately report it to the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre at 604-258-7325 or DFO at 1-800-465-4336.

Steller sea lions have been protected as a species of special concern under Canada’s Species at Risk Act since 1970 and DFO is investigating the shooting of ‘Ukee’.

“It is illegal to shoot a sea lion, unless you hold authorization from Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

As per section 7 of the Marine Mammal Regulations, it is illegal to disturb a marine mammal, and shooting would constitute a significant disturbance,” a DFO spokesperson told the Westerly News via email adding that shooting a sea lion carries a maximum fine of $500,000 for a firsttime offence.

“However, without any additional evidence to tie an individual or firearm to the injured animal in question, it can be challenging to obtain sufficient evidence to lay charges.”

‘Ukee’ appears to have been blinded in the shooting and his fate remains unclear as, if he survives, he would be unable to forage for food in the wild so would not likely be a candidate for release from the Vancouver Aquarium.

A different sea lion that was blinded after being shot multiple times in Vancouver last year, was deemed non-releasable by DFO and remains in his long-term home at the Vancouver Aquarium.

Aquarium spokesperson Deana Lancaster told the Westerly that ‘Ukee’ will be temporarily, at least, housed at the aquarium though she noted the aquarium currently has three other male sea lion residents.

Mayco Noel wins in Ucluelet

New mayor to lead all-female councillor team for next four years ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Mayco Noel is Ucluelet’s new mayor.

Preliminary results from Ucluelet’s municipal election were released around 11 p.m. Saturday night and showed that Noel secured roughly 45 per cent of the vote with 356 Mayco Noel votes, defeating Randy Oliwa, 210 votes, Bill Irving, 142 votes, and Kevin Cortes, 84 votes.

“I’m delighted. I’m overwhelmed, emotional and I’m just ecstatic that the community has spoken to give me the confidence to be the mayor of the community,” Noel told the Westerly News late Saturday after the results were released.

He spoke highly of his fellow mayoral candidates.

“I adore them all,” he said.

“They’re all great, great, candidates. I just, tonight, seemed to resonate with the locals a little bit louder than the rest.”

Noel credited his passionate pursuit of a central medical hub and additional housing opportunities as key campaign issues that resonated with voters.

“Everybody just loved the fact that I was addressing the secondary suites, detached dwellings, headon; acknowledging the fact that it needs to be allowed to allow people opportunities for their existing properties,” he said.

He added voters also appreciated his direct and honest approach.

“I just answered the questions the way they came up. I wasn’t sugarcoating things,” he said.

Noel will now look to lead a four-person council with three rookie councillors as Marilyn McEwen was the only incumbent councillor to run for re-election.

Ucluelet’s four council seats will be filled by Lara Kemps, 527 votes, Rachelle Cole, 452 votes, Marilyn McEwen, 403 votes, and Jennifer Hoar, 330 votes.

Noel said his first priority will be getting the new councillors caught up on the community’s current issues.

“I just love the four of them,” Noel said. “They’re great…We’ll be able to get up to speed quite quickly.”

He added he hopes to organize a meeting between the past mayor and council and his recently elected team, “to be able to pass the baton on and have some lessons learned.”

Marilyn McEwen told the Westerly that she was “very enthusiastic and very grateful,” to retain her seat and is excited to work with the new Marilyn McEwen council.

“I think it’s an awesome team,” she said.

“I’m sure they will devote a lot of time to getting up to speed. It is a steep learning curve.”

She added that she was “very happy” see Noel get elected.

“He and I worked very well together this past four years, so I’m really excited to have him at the helm and to continue to work with him.”

Rachelle Cole said she went around the community on Sunday speaking with her supporters to share in the celebration.

“There are no words, except, Rachelle Cole ‘ Wow … I honestly am feeling the love,” she said. “I couldn’t feel more comfortable in knowingthat I can move forward and be an advocate for the community…This is what I’m supposed to be doing right now.”

She added she believes Ucluelet elected a strong team and that positive changes are on the horizon in the next four years.

“We’re strong individuals. We have strong voices and we are all super committed,” she said. “We’re all bringing somethingdifferent to the table, but yet coming to the table to be this super diverse team of competent, well-intending, humans…It couldn’t be any better.

I spent the whole day smiling thinking about how I’m living the dream. I’m blessed. This is great.”

Jennifer Hoar said she was “honoured, grateful and thrilled,” to be voted in by the community and added that she believes Ucluelet elected an Jennifer Hoar e n e rg e t i c and dynamic council.

“I love the people that have been elected…I look forward to the energy,” she said.

“We’re all doers on that council now…I think it’s going to be a really cohesive, hard-working, team.”

Lara Kemps told the Westerly she is excited for her first term on council and said the candidates who ran in the election brought va l u abl e Lara Kemps conversations to the community’s forefront.

“I was humbled by all the support that I received…I want to thank all the candidates that ran.

They made it a very passionate and exciting election,” she said adding she enjoyed the campaign trail. “It was great to get out and talk with people and get their take on things.”

She said she was “overjoyed” to see Noel earn the mayor’s seat.

“We get along well. We’ve grown up together and I’m just very excited to work together as a team with him,” she said adding she was thrilled to see the community vote in four female councillors.

“I think that’s great. Women get stuff done. I’m very excited for the next four years.”

Kemps also works for the Ucluelet Chamber of Commerce, but said the two roles would not get in the way of each other.

“I think it’s a very good marriage,” she said. “Those things go hand in hand, actually. I’m very excited to work both of them.”

Ucluelet cast 796 ballots out of an estimated 1,276 eligible voters in 2018.

In 2014’s municipal election, 606 Ucluetian ballots were cast from 1,203 eligible voters.

Pot in the National Park Reserve Parks Canada says cannabis will be treated like tobacco at PRNPR ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Cannabis is officially legal in Canada but, like tobacco, visitors to the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve will have limitations around where they can consume it.

Parks Canada spokesperson Laura Judson told the Westerly News that cannabis use is permitted in the Park Reserve’s day-use areas, like beaches and trails, as well as remote backcountry sites like the West Coast Trail and Broken Group Islands.

Within the Park Reserve’s Green Point Campground, cannabis consumption is limited to individual campsites.

“National parks in BC are following provincial regulations that generally permit the smoking or vaping of cannabis in public spaces where tobacco smoking and vaping are allowed,” Judson said.

She added cannabis smokers will not be permitted to light up within six metres of any buildings, including the Kwisitis Visitor Centre, washrooms and shower facilities.

”As with cigarette smoking, cannabis use is only permitted in certain outdoor areas, where other visitors will not be unduly impacted,” Judson said. “We ask park users to be courteous to those around them.”

She said the Park Reserve will be adaptable to any legislation changes as well as visitor feedback as legal cannabis gets introduced to the landscape.

“We will monitor the implementation of cannabis legislation and its impact on visitors and develop

additional measures if required,” she said.

She said Parks Canada does not expect the incoming cannabis use to lead to additional enforcement resources within the Park Reserve.

“By combining awareness, prevention and compliance measures related to cannabis consumption, and law enforcement actions when necessary, Parks Canada will continue to preserve our national parks and provide opportunities for Canadians to enjoy them,” she said.

GUEST COLUMN

Proportional representation vote is dishonest I was born in British Columbia a bit more than 81 years ago and have spent most of my life here. It has been a great privilege to live in this province and, like many, I have done what I could to give back.

My method was via politics. I ran five times, elected twice as an MLA. I was executive assistant to Pierre Trudeau and then leader of the B.C. Liberal Party in the 1970s. I contested that position again in the 1990s, losing to Gordon Campbell. I have since been non-partisan. In the last election the record will show I gave $2,000 to the campaign of NDP MLA Carole James.

Over that time I have learned there are two parts to politics. Most of the year-to-year decisions belong to our elected representatives, including taxation and spending. That is fine.

However some basic things – our rights and freedoms – do not belong to politicians. Central to our rights and freedoms is our electoral system by which we select our representatives.

Politicians are hopelessly conflicted and naturally will seek personal advantage in any change. But democratic elections belong to us, and if the rules are to be changed they should be changed by us.

In 2002 I was tasked by the B.C. government to design the Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform. That process was unanimously adopted by Gordon the B.C. legislature. It has been studied and copied around the world as the gold standard for making such important changes.

All 160 members of that assembly studied, consulted and deliberated for a year and proposed a precise system (it was called BC-STV) that was put to a referendum vote. That is the way to do it: citizen design, citizen approval. Almost 58 per cent of British Columbians voted in favour. That was not enough for the govern-

ment of the day, though none of its members could even dream of such support personally. So the initiative support dwindled and died.

Now we have a new proposal for electoral change, but with a huge difference. This one is designed by partisan politicians for their benefit, however high-sounding their words.

Anyone who follows sports knows Gibson the importance of detailed rules. Even apparently tiny ones can tilt the playing field and rig the game. To all but the closest students of the game the tricks are invisible, but they determine who wins.

That is the basic problem of the current referendum on electoral change. Specific details like community representation, what bosses will choose party list MLAs, how many votes you will have and how

counted – these essentials are hidden, to be decided only after the referendum by conflicted . But that is too much of a mandate to give to a saint, let alone your average MLA. In short, this process is dishonest, misleading and wide open to down-the-road manipulation.

What MLAs who support this referendum are advocating is an erosion of our rights and freedoms, as the politicians write their own employment contracts.

We know the right citizen process in B.C. and have used it in the past. That is the honest way to consider the respectable but very complex question of electoral change. Our current government is following a process that is wrong. I say, for shame.

On this self-serving and deceitful question, “No” is the vote for democracy.

Gordon Gibson was leader of the B.C. Liberal Party from 1975 to 1979. He was inducted into the Order of B.C. in 2008.

Tofino-Ucluelet Westerly News

www.westerlynews.ca

Tofino voters set record turnout at the polls From A1 She added that she valued having her ideas, policies and values questioned during the campaign.

“I feel that my challengers did exactly that,” she said. “I hope that they’ll stay involved in municipal politics and I’m looking forward to the next four years.”

She believes the community saw her as an experienced team-builder who could work with a council that was guaranteed to have at least three new members as Cathy Thicke, Greg Blanchette and Ray Thorogood did not run for re-election.

All three incumbent councillors who ran for Tofino’s six council seats were re-elected as Al Anderson, 482 votes, Dorothy Baert, 377 votes, Duncan McMaster, 418 votes, retained their seats.

They will be joined by three newcomers to council: Tom Stere, 657 votes, Britt Chalmers, 608 votes, and Andrea McQuade, 583 votes.

Osborne said seeing all the incumbents who ran get re-elected shows the community is confident in the leadership it has received over the past term.

“It’s a vote of confidence,”she said. “And, to see three skilled new people sit at the table with us is the right balance, in my opinion, of new ideas, fresh perspectives, with the experience of the incumbents. I think we’re going to have a great four years…We’ve got three excellent new voices at the table.”

She said she is familiar with Stere, McQuade and Chalmers and does not believe council will skip a beat.

“I’m very confident in their abilities and I do not think it’s going to take us that much time to get up to speed and move forward as a team,” she said.

Tofino cast 929 votes in the 2018 municipal election, from 1,411 registered voters, which represents a significant leap in participation from 2014’s election where 519

votes were cast, from an estimated 1,493 eligible voters. Through its Facebook page, the District of Tofino suggested 929 is a record turnout for the community.

Britt Chalmers told the Westerly News she was happy to see an equal balance of new and experienced councillors voted in.

“There’s representation from a lot of different parts of the Britt Chalmers community and, I think, there’s a lot of excitement for us new ones coming on,” she said. “I’m really excited to have that balance. It’s a great team…I think we’ll work together very well.”

She added that a healthy buzz around town during the campaign led to a record turnout of voters.

“I’m really excited about how many people came out and how many people around town were educating themselves and putting the effort into it,” she said.

“I also think that, with a lot of younger candidates running this year, it got a lot of the younger voters out.”

Tom Stere said he was glad to see the vision he presented to the community during his campaign resonate so well with voters.

“I’m super stoked, of course. I love my communiTom Stere ty,” he said. “It’s obviously an engaged community and that

We received a youth social connectedness grant from the District of Tofino and Clayoquot Biosphere Trust to host a skate day in Ahousaht.

The goal of the grant program was to connect youth across communities and cultures and promote social belonging. We would like to give a huge shout out to the following people and businesses who made it such a success:

showed once again. At the voting station, I was looking around and there was a tremendous diversity in population there and that made me feel great.”

He said he was excited to see the team the town elected and that he and his two fellow first-term councillors will bring “fresh, new, positive energy,” while being guided by their more seasoned council-mates.

“We’ve got an unbelievable mayor with great experience and three incumbents that have been there a long time,”he said.

“It will be obviously a pleasure to have those people guiding us through the initial processes.”

Andrea McQuade was ecstatic to earn the community’s vote and said she could not have asked for a better team to work with.

“I’m completely humbled and totally thrilled. I’m Andrea McQuade really excited to get to work,” she said adding the three newcomers to council are well-established in the community so will be able to settle into their new roles quickly. “I definitely don’t see us losing any momentum. With the experience that’s already sitting on council as it is, I think that the guidance is there to move us quickly forward. I think it’s going to be incredible, to be honest...The three elected officials bring a lot of enthusiasm and perhaps some fresh new perspectives and I think we’re going to move decisively and quickly into the future.”

Incumbent Al Anderson was equally enthusiastic about the next term.

“The turnout for the election was great and I’m happy with the team that the community has put in,” he said.

“We’ll have some new energy there and we’ll be able to keep some momentum going as well.”

He cited afAl Anderson fordable housing as the key issue Tofino raised during the election and said it will be a clear priority during the upcoming term.

Incumbent Duncan McMaster said he believes his re-election reflects the community’s confidence in his work.

“I think it shows that people have respected what I’ve tried to do in the past two terms and hopefully we can continue in that vein and actually get some things accomplished Duncan McMaster like affordable housing, which I’m really set on,”he said adding he’s excited to see what the new councillors bring.

“They’ve got different backgrounds and obviously they’re younger so that’s, hopefully going to bring some new vitality and, I think, the incumbents bring some experience...It’s a good blend.”

Incumbent Dorothy Baert had announced that this would be her final term on council, if elected, and she told the Westerly that she is happy her last four years will be served with a dynamic team.

NOTICE OF INTENT RE: LIQUOR CONTROL AND LICENSING ACT APPLICATION FOR A MANUFACTURER LOUNGE ENDORSEMENT

Application for a new Manufacturer Lounge Endorsement has been received from Ucluelet Brewing Company, to be located at 1601 Peninsula Road in Ucluelet.

The proposed lounge will consist of one interior and one patio area. The total capacity will be limited to 98 persons.

The proposed hours of liquor service are from 11:30AM to 11:00PM daily.

Residents and owners of businesses located within a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) radius of the proposed site may comment on this proposal by:

another four years and I’m thrilled that I’ll be serving it at the table with those that the community has chosen,” she said. “I think it’s going to be an incredible group of people bringing a lot of voices and understanding to tackle some of the challenges that we have.”

She added she was happy to see Josie Osborne retain her seat by a resounding 85 per cent of the vote.

“To give her a clear mandate and support for her leadership, I think is absolutely fantastic,” she said. “They affirmed her in the strongest terms possible.”

She said Osborne’s “commitment to solid good governance” and leadership style at the council table allows Dorothy Baert council to “dive deep” into issues facing the community during their meetings.

“Further to that, she has been such an amazing ambassador for our community that it’s so much easier to go out and gain support or draw on the resources of other communities because they want to engage with Tofino and be seen as supportive of our aspirations,” she said.

Baert acknowledged her vote count was the lowest of the elected councillors and said she has been thinking about how to better connect with the community.

“I have to take that in stride and understand that I clearly am not reaching to segments of the community who chose not to vote for me,” she said. “That’s a concern.

I want to know more about that…I’d like to find other ways of engaging with community members.”

Coast Guard offers marine science education Unique tours of Vector research ship delight and inspire hundreds of participants NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Hundreds of locals and visitors to the West Coast climbed aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Vector research ship this weekend to take part in the 2018 PromoScience Expedition.

About 550 people turned out to Saturday’s ocean fair and interactive marine science tour in Tofino, while Sunday in Ucluelet welcomed a mixture of about 480 community members and tourists. Built in 1967 as a science research vessel, the Vector cruises British Columbian waters at a relaxed speed of 10 knots.

“It’s one of the older ships and the busiest,” said captain Chris Ross, adding that it’s a pleasure to be working on the B.C. coast. “It’s one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.”

Darcey Nichol is the ship’s bosun, meaning he supervises all deck operations. Nichol also serves as a critical middleman between the scientists and

– Cpt. Chris Ross crew.

“I love working with [the researchers]. There’s always something different. You always got to think outside the box and be ready for just about anything,” said Nichol, a 16-year sailor with the Canadian Coast Guard.

Chief scientist Peter Chandler reiterated.

“We have a very tight working relationship with the Coast Guard. Over the years, they’ve come to appreciate the science of what we are doing,” said Chandler, a physical oceanographer for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

“If we ask them, you know we want to put this over the side, but we also want to get it back, a lot of it comes down to their seamanship that we are able to do that,” he said. “We have to adjust all the time ‘cause the sea is

always changing and we don’t want to lose anything.”

It takes a certain personality to be part of the research team aboard the Vector, notes Chandler.

“It appeals to a character that likes to discover things. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an explorer. This is kind of like the modern day equivalent of exploration.”

Marine geologists Audrey Dallimore and Randy Enkin shared facts from their research on sediment cores retrieved from Effingham Inlet. Their samples feature sediment that goes back thousands of years, and provides key climate information much like tree rings.

“Sediments help us to understand how the earth and the ocean and the atmosphere and eco-systems, how all of that operated before humans were on the planet,” said Dallimore, who is an associate professor in Royal Roads University’s School of Environment and Sustainability.

“We are interested in is climate change, sea level change, and earth-

quakes,” adds Enkin. “Studying the past is a way to know what to do in the future.”

Computer engineer Lucius Perreault uses an underwater microphone to record ocean acoustics and measure the speed of water from the surface right to the bottom.

“If you put it at 40 metres, you can actually hear storms. Like rain coming in and wind. The more you go down to the ocean floor, you can hear more earthquake stuff. You can always pick up whales and the noise pollution that’s happening, like tankers,” said Perreault.

Physical oceanographer Stephen Page explained the work his research team was doing with water sampling.

“We’ve been measuring nutrients.

So things like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and silica,” said Page, adding that in the last two years they starting sampling for microplastics.

Chandler elaborated.

“We have about 80 set locations all throughout the Strait of Georgia. We will take an instrument and drop it

down through the water column measures key oceanographic parameters: temperature, salinity, oxygen. If we do that in enough places within a sort period of time, we can get a three dimensional snap shot of what the environment looks like,” said Chandler.

The last time the PromoScience Expedition popped up on the Coast was in 2010. The event was a joint project between Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard, Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada, Royal Roads University, the Ucluelet Aquarium, and the West Coast N.E.S.T. “The weather was fabulous,” said Nicole Gerbrandt, education coordinator at the West Coast N.E.S.T. “It was such an excellent opportunity to have this research vessel come to our backyard. Fingers crossed we can bring it back again soon.”

Free transportation to the science fair was provided from Ahousaht, Opitsaht, Esowista, Ty-Histanis, and Hitacu.

Steelhead LNG submits plans for Kwispaa Company partners with Huu-ay-aht First Nation on proposed $10 billion project SUSIE QUINN Alberni Valley News

Kwispaa LNG has submitted its project description to the B.C. Environmental Assessment office and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.

The description is a comprehensive overview of Kwispaa LNG—a partnership project between Steelhead LNG of Vancouver and the Huu-ay-aht First Nations—and brings the project a step closer to fruition.

Kwispaa LNG is a proposed LNG export facility that, if approved, will be built on 475 hectares of Huu-ay-aht land in Sarita Bay on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Project proponents are Steelhead LNG and Huu-ayaht First Nations.

“What we’re hoping to do is to make sure we’re involved in a good way…a value-added way in every step of the project itself,” said Huu-ay-aht spokesperson John Jack.

The filing of the project description will now allow both environmental agencies to work with Kwispaa LNG to establish the scope of an environmental assessment of the project.

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS FILE PHOTO

Steelhead LNG and Huu-ay-aht First Nations have submitted their plans for Kwispaa LNG project, which they hope to build in Sarita Bay.

This process will include public input.

The plan is estimated to cost $10 billion and would be built in three phases. It will include jetty-moored and onshore components, and will include gas processing as well as delivery to outgoing ships. The project is only at a conceptual stage at the moment, with the first phase of engineering design to start in early 2019.

Kwispaa LNG will make a decision by 2020 whether to go ahead with the project.

“Our current project schedule anticipates taking a final investment decision in late 2020,” said Matt Skinner, communications manager for Steelhead LNG. “Once we have a final investment decision we expect a four-year construction period.

We would be operational at the end of 2024, early 2025.”

Two other components of the project are supposed to run concurrently with the Kwispaa development in Sarita Bay: a new natural gas pipeline between northeast B.C. and the west coast of Vancouver Island, and a power transmission line that would provide additional power to the plant.

The natural gas pipeline would be 1,000 kilometres long and would parallel existing multi-utility corridors starting from Chetwynd, B.C. It would transit across the Salish Sea via a 31-kilometre subsea crossing to the shores of Comox before transversing Vancouver Island via land out to the Kwispaa site at Sarita Bay. The subsea crossing would be “in the vi-

cinity” of an existing Fortis BC natural gas transmission line that supplies natural gas to Vancouver Island customers.

Kwispaa is working with BC Hydro to “explore options” to provide power to the project, according to the project overview.

“The project is running concurrently with the pipeline and possible transmission line. They’re supposed to line up in a way that they come online all at the same time,” Skinner explained.

Proponents to the plan predict LNG carriers will call at the site 160 times per year (three shipments per week) in the first phase of buildout, and 320 times annually (six to seven LNG shipments per week) at full build-out. The project has a 25-year lifespan and decommissioning the site is built into the plan, Jack said.

Once operational, a decommissioning fund will be developed. There is no fear that construction would start and suddenly be abandoned, leaving industrial waste in the area.

The way the project is set up, if anything would cause Kwispaa to halt development they would know “before any shovels hit the ground,” Jack said.

Tofino-Ucluelet Westerly News

Voting to start on proportional representation Mail-in packages are expected to arrive in Tofino and Ucluelet P.O. boxes this week TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Mail-in voting packages are on their way to registered voters across B.C., with five weeks to fill them out and mail them back in with your choice on whether to change the electoral system Tom Fletcher for the next provincial election.

Voters who don’t receive a package by Nov. 2 should ask for one, by visiting the Elections

B.C. website at elections.bc.ca/ ovr or calling 1-800-661-8683.

Service B.C. offices around the province can also register voters and provide referendum packages.

The ballot is in two parts, with the first one a choice between the existing “first past the post” (FPTP) election system and changing to a “proportional representation” (PR) system. FPTP systems are used in Canada, the U.S., Australia and France. In B.C., a provincial election is really 87 separate elections, with the candidate with the largest number of votes becoming the MLA for each constituency.

Voters can answer just the first

question if they choose. Or they can continue to the second part, and rank three different PR voting systems according to their preference.

Elections B.C. has prepared a voting guide and a series of short videos that explain the workings of FPTP and each of the three options, dual member proportional, mixed member proportional and rural-urban proportional.

Maps of proposed new voting districts and other key details of how the new systems would work are not available until after the referendum.

Completed ballots must be received at Elections B.C. by

HAVE YOUR SAY!

Vote in the 2018 Referendum on Electoral Reform October 22 to November 30, 2018 B.C. is having a referendum on what voting system to use for provincial elections. This is a big decision so make sure to vote.

4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 30.

Instructions and key dates are in each voting package, along with directions on how to fill out the ballot and mail it back.

The existing system tends to favour larger parties and majority governments. Proportional representation makes it easier for small parties to win seats, and coalitions or agreements are usually needed before a government can be formed. Constituencies are usually larger and multi-member.

Here is a brief description of each option: • Dual member proportional, where neighbouring pairs of districts in B.C. would be combined

into one two-member constituencies, except for the larger rural districts, which would remain unchanged.

• Mixed member proportional, which combines single-member districts with party list candidates, added to give each party the number of seats determined by their share of the province-wide vote in an election.

• Rural-urban proportional representation, with multi-member districts for urban and semi-urban areas, with voters choosing their MLA on a ranked ballot.

In rural areas, a mixed-member proportional system using candidate lists chosen by parties would be used.

ADVERTISING THAT STANDS OUT

What are we voting on?

You are being asked:

should we keep the current First Past the Post voting system or move to a system of proportional representation?

if proportional representation is adopted, which proportional system do you prefer?

- Dual Member Proportional (DMP) - Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) - Rural-Urban Proportional (RUP)

You can answer both questions or just one and your ballot will still count. Find out more about all four voting systems by calling us or visiting our website.

Refer to information from all sides in the debate, make an informed choice, and remember to vote by November 30, 2018.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, if you want to be a pioneer, you have to trust yourself and take some risks.

Find ways to expand your social circle and attend as many events as you can.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Do not worry about pleasing everyone, Taurus. Doing so is impossible and will zap you of the energy you need to devote to those who truly matter to you. Value their opinions.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You are in an amorous mood this week, Gemini. Focus your energy on romantic plans. Develop an idea for a dinner as a couple, or a friends’ night out with others.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you want to improve your bottom line, you may need to seek the advice of a professional. Make an appointment to see how to better manage your funds.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, keep close friends close, but see if there are any opportunities to widen your network. Networking is an important skill to master. It could serve you well.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it is okay to make mistakes if it is a matter of personal growth. Sometimes the most valuable lessons are learned by making a mistake and correcting it.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Family ties have you pulled in one direction when you may have your eyes focused in another, Libra. With some careful shuffling, you can likely find a balance.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Awkward situations give you the opportunity to think on your feet and find amenable solutions to problems, Scorpio.

Don’t underestimate the advantages of this skill.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 A few changes may be heading your way, Sagittarius. These are nothing you cannot handle with grace. Look for opportunities for growth with anything that comes your way.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, sometimes the best ideas come when you aren’t focused on finding solutions to problems. Keep an open mind and all types of different ideas can arrive.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Certain things are inevitable, Aquarius. But you can adapt to many different situations and make them work for you. Do not be scared off by larger projects on the horizon.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, channel your creative energy into something lucrative this week. This may be just what you need to turn a passion into a career.

MULTI-MEDIA SALES CONSULTANT (SYDNEY, COWICHAN VALLEY)

MULTI-MEDIA COORDINATOR (PARKSVILLE)

A celebration was held on Mackenzie Beach in Tofino BC for Mat on October 10th, 2018.

It began just before sunset with a perfectly clear sky. The sky lit up with so many stars, I felt every person we loved was there with us.

A bonfire was built and stories shared. There were tears, but mostly laughter. As all light faded away, we joined hands by the water’s edge, at the end of the world. We lit sagebrush, passing it around to say a few words about Mat and our goodbyes. The surrounding love was very healing and will linger forever.

We feel honoured to have met so many wonderful people who truly loved Mat for the beautiful soul he was. The love and affection was inspiring.

Mat was a quiet, gentle person who would help anyone in need. He saw the goodness in people especially those who had seen or hit hard times.

He tried to live a simple life and not worry about the small things. He knew what was important, family, friends, music and always, food.

A talented musician, cook, brother, uncle, but most of all a wonderful son.

The pride he had for his home was felt throughout and I will cherish every moment spent there. I will hold on to the beauty he shared, the kindness and grace he displayed, his music, the side-eye smile and all our chats that inevitably turned to discussing food and recipes.

You will be in my heart forever, your voice will fill my head each moment of the day, the weeks, months and years, until my world fades away.

My beautiful boy, you truly were a gift……
