Cash for wastewater treatment plant NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

The federal government announced on Tuesday it will invest $21.96 million into wastewater treatment in Tofino, with the B.C. provincial government contributing $18.3M to the same project.

It is the largest infrastructure investment since the municipality was incorporated in 1932.

The project will construct a new wastewater treatment plant and ultraviolet disinfection for treated effluent to help improve and protect the local marine environment. This will service the District of Tofino, Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.

“I really want to mark the fact that this is a pivotal point in the many, many hours, days, months and years of planning to get to this point,” said Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne, expressing her happiness with the funding during the Aug. 27 regular council meeting.

“There has been a phenomenal amount of work that has been done by our CAO, by our managers… our consultants, local citizens and stakeholders that took part and advised us along the way. The Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations, who helped us with this process.”

McGinnis earns volunteer recognition award NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Billy McGinnis has received a Volunteer Recognition Award from Tofino’s mayor and council.

McGinnis, a 15-year veteran of the Tofino Volunteer Fire Department (TVFD), was recently hailed by mayor Josie Osborne as being a great leader in the community.

“On behalf of all of us we want to say thank you,” mayor Osborne said as she handed McGinnis, the town’s current deputy chief, his award at the start of the Aug. 27 council meeting.

Tofino’s fire chief Brent Baker said McGinnis has supported just about everyone in the community in one way or another.

“I’m really happy that he had the opportunity to receive that acknowledgement today. He brings a lot to everything that we do as a team and I don’t know where we would be without his participation,” said Baker.

Tofino’s volunteer recognition program receives nominations from the public, which are then reviewed by a committee and put forward for council’s endorsement. Osborne revealed that it was someone within Tofino’s fire department who put forward the nomination for McGinnis.

McGinnis was a bit speechless directly after receiving his volunteer recognition award.

“I just wish my mom was here to see me get this,” he said.

He penned a note to the Westerly a couple days later.

“I was very surprised and honoured to receive this award of recognition. I would like to say thank you to the person who nominated me, I hope I can continue to make you proud with my actions,” wrote McGinnis.

“Thank you to the wonderful crew at the TVFD, Karl Hanson and Krysta Stafford, the two that originally made me a part of the TVFD, and of course my mom,” he wrote.

EZRA SOCCER CAMP: Ukee local Savannah LeFevre practises during last week’s Ezra Soccer Camp. West Coast youth have been getting a kick out of the annual weeklong program, which has been offered across Vancouver Island for the past 22 years, but the popular camp is now hanging up its soccer cleats and made its last appearance in Tofino and Ucluelet from Aug. 26-30. The camp’s founder, Ezra Cremers, launched the program when he was just 14 years old and is moving to Kelowna.

Movie Night creator celebrated ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Sandi Rideout’s remarkably tireless efforts to bring weekly movie nights to Tofino have led to a blockbuster accomplishment as her town’s council recently honoured her with a Volunteer Recognition Award.

Rideout showed her first film on April 18, 2005, after arriving in Tofino from Kamloops where she had enjoyed an impressive array of symphony, theatre and cinema events.

“I’m a culture creep and so I really missed not having all those things in my life,” Rideout told the Westerly News.

She said she had joined the Clayoquot Sound Community Theatre Association board almost immediately after arriving in her new West Coast home and saw an untapped opportunity in new projection and speaker equipment the board had purchased to host book launches by authors who were moving away from slides and towards powerpoint presentations.

“The theatre board realized that, if we wanted to have them in our theatre, then we needed to up our game, so the equipment was pur-

“It was a surprise.

It was a great moment.”

– Sandi Rideout

chased at great expense back then and it wasn’t really getting used that much, I mean, how many book launches can there be in a year?” she said adding she pitched the idea of presenting movies to the board. “That’s how it started.

There was a small group of us that kind of brainstormed our vision…

The others on the committee were really positive and energetic, but they didn’t have time so I sort of carried the torch from then on.”

She added Monday movie nights have become “an institution” in Tofino that’s appreciated by a broader crowd than she first anticipated.

“When I first started, I kind of thought that I was going to be presenting to my demographic: the baby boomers who have grown up with movies and cried at The Incredible Journey and Snow White and I kind of had this vision that the theatre would be full of people

my age,” she said. It has turned into something quite different…I show movies to way more than just my demographic. I try to show a wide variety so that a range of people can come to the theatre and have an enjoyable experience…It just takes one special movie and somebody will find out about what we’re doing and it’s so enriching.”

She added the movie nights are the association’s largest fundraiser, providing a steady and needed income to put towards a litany of bills that comes with maintaining the theatre, including electrical bills and equipment maintenance.

“We have to keep the funds rolling so we can continue to offer a venue that’s unique in our town,” she said. “Maintaining that space is expensive and so having a regular source of income is really important. That’s why I haven’t retired,” she said, adding that she is looking for an heir apparent to keep the movie magic humming.

“I am looking for an heir apparent. If anybody wants to apprentice with me and learn how to do this, I’d sure like to see it keep going after I’m pushing up daisies.”

Anyone interested in learning more can reach out through Rideout’s webpage www.tofino-

movies.blogspot.ca or through the Monday Night Movies in Tofino Facebook page.

She added that the position carries a large workload that includes plenty of research along with communicating with producers and distributors while keeping the financial books in order, but added she “loves” putting it all together.

“I was a principal and a teacher for over 30 years and researching and preparing stuff is kind of in my blood and I do love doing it,” she said.

She said she had no idea she’d be honoured with an award when a volunteer movie night colleague lured her into council chambers next door to the theatre.

“My ticket-taker said to me, ‘They’ve got our chairs in the council chamber, you have to come in with me.’ So, I went in and she told me to sit down and I realized that I was not there to get chairs,” she said. “It was a surprise. It was a great moment… It’s wonderful to be appreciated.”

She added that she appreciates all her movie goers and supporters, particularly Lyndsey Page and Warren Rudd as well as poster designers Marion Syme and Albert Shepard.

B.C. Views: More Labour Day milestones for NDP

Labour Minister Harry Bains got a rare thumbsup from the opposition with his latest move to remake the province’s workplace rules, this time adding more compliance staff to the Employment Standards Branch.

The main aim is to help migrant workers and new immigrants who tend to be in casual work, like farm work, where hours getting longer and paycheques getting shorter are more likely to be a problem. Bains says 60 staff are being added to the office, and he made a show of ceremonially tearing up and recycling the “self-help kit” for employment standards complaints introduced by the B.C. Liberals in 2003.

Complaints fell from 11,000 to 6,000 annually over the years since, and “the employers didn’t suddenly decide to obey the law,” Bains said.

That’s to replace this 80-year-old four-lane bridge between New Westminster and Surrey with a four-lane-plus-bike-lane bridge.

The NDP’s absurdly misnamed “community benefits agreement” will, Minister Claire Trevena concedes, increase the Pattullo cost by seven per cent. This is to provide union wages and dues, strict craft lines dividing tasks, and a new bureaucracy with a corporation and headquarters for the 19 selected unions to collect dues and a new administration tax on workers.

Ottawa commits $8M to ghost gear retrieval NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

The Government of Canada is committing $8.3 million to help fish harvesters, environmental groups, Indigenous communities, and the aquaculture industry retrieve abandoned fishing gear, or so-called ghost gear, from the ocean and dispose of it responsibly.

Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada announced the new Sustainable Fisheries Solutions and Retrieval Program at a media event in Nova Scotia on Aug. 27.

“Our government has made fighting plastic pollution a top priority,” said the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, in the Aug. 27 media release.

“Just a few months ago, the Government of Canada announced that it will

ban harmful single-use plastics as early as 2021. Today’s actions build on that commitment. Removing harmful ghost fishing gear from the oceans will support a healthy ocean environment and contribute to the economic resilience of Canada’s coastal and rural communities,” said Hon. Wilkinson.

Jennifer Adamson volunteers for the Emerald Sea Protection Society, a B.C.based non-profit made up of divers and scientists who work together to recover abandoned fishing gear. She said she was thankful to hear this promise from Ottawa.

“One of our big projects that we did was a great, big seine net. It was the size of a football field,” said Adamson. “It was on the floor of the water right beside Pender Island. We sent divers down and they just hacked away at it.”

She went on to say that they pulled the net up using buoyancy tools, cleaned

the net to get all the debris off and then Emerald Sea Society shipped the net to Steveston Harbour for recycling.

“They turned the net into some pretty cool stuff, like skateboards and clothing,” said Adamson. “It’s worth getting it out of the ocean.”

In March, Emerald Sea teamed up with Surfrider Pacific Rim to retrieve ghost gear from Tofino’s First Street dock. The volunteer divers recovered over 1,200 kilograms of debris from the ocean floor in one day. According to Fisheries and Oceans, 640,000 tons of abandoned fishing gear enters our oceans every year.

Funding for the new Sustainable Fisheries Solutions and Retrieval Program will likely be accessed through an application process. Fisheries and Oceans Canada will also host a Gear Innovation Summit in February 2020, which will include discussions on technological solu-

tions to prevent ghost gear from entering the oceans in the first place.

Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns commended Hon. Wilkinson and Government of Canada for the funding commitment. Johns touched on the issue of ghost gear and derelict boats in the House of Commons in November 2018.

“As members know, ghost fishing gear is dangerous to the mammals and species in the ocean. A lot of birds, seals, crab and even our fish get entangled in ghost fishing gear. It is very important that we explore ways to get it out. It is costly for the economy. Washington State says it costs it about $700,000 U.S. just in lost crab to crab pots that have been left at the bottom of the sea, that have escaped,” stated Johns.

The ghost gear retrieval program follows through on one of the recommendations put forward in MP Johns’ M-151 motion to combat marine plastics

pollution, which received unanimous support by the House of Commons in December 2018.

“It is extremely encouraging to receive the federal government’s announcement on funding for ghost gear clean up in Canadian waters,” reads a statement from Surfrider Canada.

“We are eager for the federal government to implement all other recommendations put forward by Motion-151, in addition to the recommendations we sent to the Minister of Environment in June in partnership with 11 other environmental nonprofit organizations, which includes adding plastic waste to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act’s Schedule 1 List of Toxic Substances. Lastly, funding for the recycling of all retrieved ghost gear needs to be provided by the federal government to ensure this material is kept out of landfills and turned back into a resource,” Surfrider Canada states.

WISAR group seeks new recruits

Westcoast Inland Search and Rescue staging pair of open house events NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Westcoast Inland Search and Rescue (WISAR) is recruiting for their fall 2019 intake.

To pique people’s interest, they are encouraging West Coasters to stop by one of two open house events they are hosting next week.

Ucluelet’s is on Tuesday, Sept.

10 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the community centre. Tofino’s takes place at the WISAR Hall (620 Industrial Way) on Wednesday, Sept.

11 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

“We are looking for community-minded individuals who don’t mind being woken up in the middle of the night to go tromp through the dense coastal brush,” said WISAR president Marcie DeWitt.

“Our ideal applicants are people who are active outdoors, have or are willing to acquire some decent outdoor gear as we are often training and responding in all weather conditions. Knowledge of the local area and skills around first aid, navigation and survival are a benefit to the team. These are also part of our training so we don’t want to discourage anyone who is new to some of these topics and willing to learn.”

WISAR had about five callouts this summer. On average, they get approximately 15 to 20 per year, said DeWitt.

“The time commitment for call outs varies immensely depending on the situation, call outs can be resolved in less than an hour or go on for multiple days, which requires SAR volunteers working in shifts,” said DeWitt, adding volunteers use their own discretion as to whether they can participate in a call out or not.

WISAR recruits need to commit to an intense Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) training program, which involves navigation (map, compass, GPS), communications, wilderness survival skills, swift

Group asks ACRD to ban pot production SUSIE QUINN susie.quinn@albernivalleynews.com

Sproat Lake residents want to know whether there is any way the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District can ban commercial cannabis production within the ACRD until better rules are examined surrounding commercial cannabis production.

About 100 residents and interested parties gathered at the Sproat Lake Community Hall to ask questions of ACRD planner Alex Dyer and Sproat Lake area director Penny Cote last week.

Residents reiterated their concerns about losing their ground water to a large commercial operation, and about the smell a 50-acre cannabis grow operation would emit close to residential and tourism areas.

Residents said they weren’t saying a complete “no” to commercial cannabis production within the ACRD—they would like the board to put a

“We’re committed to ensuring we’re moving forward in an environmentally responsible manner.”

– Angie Fernandes moratorium on any development permits until more information becomes available.

Angie Fernandes, a director with Wild Coast Canna, said in a telephone interview they want to be good neighbours with their proposed cannabis operation. They have an agreement with the present owner to purchase the land.

Wild Coast Canna was not invited to the public meeting; organizers said they weren’t able to reach anyone from the company.

At an open house in June the company said the closed facility would be “more than 200,000 square feet”, but the company is now saying the building plan is 377,000 sq. ft. Fernandes

for the proposed facility yet.

Russell Dyson, who owns Coleman Meadows Farm on Coleman Road and is also the CAO for Comox Valley Regional District, said he is concerned about the effect a large-scale commercial cannabis operation at the former Pine Dell Farm property will have on his own farm. He also said the ACRD does have the power to halt this proposed operation.

“We’re not saying no to this, we’re saying no to this site,” Dyson said. “All along (the ACRD) have been able to regulate cannabis. You can set the standard for smell that is limited from this plant.”

Cote said they ACRD has already gone through a lengthy process to set cannabis bylaws within the ACRD. Cannabis “is a commodity that’s a luxury,” Cote said. “It’s not something you need to eat, it’s not something you need for your kids to grow up in a good place. But it needs to find a place.”

said the initial number “was an error on our end. It is larger.”

The building would be built on a plot of non-ALR land near Airport Road that is approximately 25 acres. The 50 acres of outdoor grow operation would be behind that, between the building and Great Central Lake Road. The plan would be rolled out in three phases, with the outdoor production being the final phase.

Fernandes said while the 177-acre Pine Dell Farm property does not border Airport Road, there is a plot of Crown land between their proposed property and the road, and the Wild Coast Canna intends to apply for a permit to build an access road through the Crown land.

Wild Coast Canna is undergoing a feasibility study “to analyze the water source on the property,” she said. “We’re committed to ensuring we’re moving forward in an environmentally responsible manner.”

FROM THE FRONT

District ofTofino will contribute $14.96M toward new wastewater treatment project From A1

The District of Tofino will contribute $14.96M. The funding from the federal government and the province represents 73.3 per cent of the estimated eligible costs of the new, modern wastewater treatment plant.

The district currently discharges untreated wastewater to Duffin Passage in Clayoquot Sound. In 2015, Tofino committed to meeting federal wastewater effluent guidelines and to developing a modern, reliable wastewater system.

When completed, the wastewater treatment plant will be a very important step in improving water quality in the Clayoquot Sound, protecting public health and conserving the marine environment, states a press release issued by the district. In particular, it is hoped that once the wastewater treatment plant is operating, the longstanding restrictions on shellfish harvesting near Tofino and Opistsaht will begin to ease.

Saya Masso, Land and resources director for Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations, said Tla-o-qui-aht is very happy to see the region awarded this funding.

“This project falls perfectly in line with Tla-o-qui-aht land use and marine objectives; and it has been a long standing desire to see this project im-

“I really want to mark the fact that this is a pivotal point in the many, many hours, days, months and years of planning to get to this point.”

– Josie Osborne

plemented. This project is a critical step to achieving healthier marine areas, and enhancing the economic diversity of the region,” said Masso.

In 2017, with the assistance of a local advisory committee of residents, stakeholders, and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation representatives, Tofino completed a new Liquid Waste Management Plan. This work was followed by the design of a wastewater treatment plant, and improved wastewater collection system and outfall.

In addition to dealing with wastewater from Tofino homes and businesses, the new wastewater system will treat domestic sewage collection from the Tla-o-qui-aht communities of Esowista and Ty-histanis. Treatment of wastewater from Opitsaht and portions of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve is also likely.

TOFINO EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns said the green infrastructure investment is a major boost for the community.

“We need an unspoiled natural environment to support both traditional Indigenous practices and a healthy tourist economy which attracts thousands of visitors to our region every year. This has been accomplished with good planning, the vision of local leaders and federal and provincial governments working together. It is truly a big day for the future of Tofino and our UNESCO Biosphere Region,” said Johns.

The joint federal, provincial and municipal funding came through the Green Infrastructure Stream – Environmental Quality program of the Investing in Canada infrastructure plan and the Small Communities Fund of the New Building Canada Fund.

Better drinking water and wastewater infrastructure improvements are coming to 15 British Columbia communities, including Tofino.

Six projects will help protect the health of residents by improving access to safe and reliable drinking water in small communities, including First Nations communities, in some cases resolving current drinking water advisories and reducing the likelihood of future ones.

FOLLOW @TofinoEmergency

IMPORTANT NOTICE MONTHLY OUTDOOR WARNING SIREN TESTING AND ONE CALL NOW Please be advised that the District of Tofino conducts monthly testing of the Cox Bay, Mid-Chesterman and North Chesterman outdoor warning sirens (a.k.a. tsunami sirens and the One Call Now emergency notification system) on the first Friday of each month at 11:00 am.

The purpose of monthly testing is to ensure that the sirens and One Call Now system are functioning effectively and to increase awareness of the importance of personal emergency preparedness.

Siren testing will sound like this: • “This is a test of the emergency warning system. This is only a test.”

• Westminster Chime (10 sec) • “Test of the emergency warning system is complete.

This has only been a test.”

For testing purposes, the Westminster Chime is used because it is the allclear tone used in emergency warning systems around the world.

In the event of a real emergency such as a tsunami warning, the sirens will emit a wailing tone and a voice message will indicate the level of alert and advise that listeners tune into an official source of information.

Island Corridor CEO sees the return of rail service With a federal election looming in October, the head of the Island Corridor Foundation, Larry Stevenson, is not worried the drive to restore passenger train service on the Island would be derailed again.

“I really think that when you look at what we’re trying to accomplish and the reasons behind it, this is a public policy discussion,” said Stevenson.

“It’s not going to go away no matter which government is sitting there. They’re going to have to deal with the issue. We’re now at the point where something is going to happen and I think it’s going to happen relatively soon.”

The province is currently undertaking an in-depth assessment of the track and bridge to determine the cost to bring the Island line back to standard.

Stevenson, who attended the recent Railway Days at the Parksville Museum, said the assessment is expected to be completed at the end of October.

“After that, I think, you’re going to see a move to get it rebuilt,” said Stevenson, who added that there is strong support on the Island to bring back the rail line.

“The people on the Island had made their intentions clear. They have been very clear about wanting it restored and they want it restored now. I don’t see it stopping.”

Aussie sailors circumnavigate Island to draw attention to plastics blight

Two novice sailors from Australia have circumnavigated the Island to raise awareness about marine debris pollution.

Daniel Greenwood and Mathilde Gordon set sail around Vancouver Island in June in a small Catalina 27 sailboat, borrowed from a friend, and used their adventure to learn how to sail and raise awareness about marine debris at schools and other venues, conduct citizen science and participate in beach cleanup efforts.

According to a Seize Change press release, it’s easy to think local shorelines are pristine, but the Island’s west coast has a serious marine debris problem. Gordon said in some areas, piles of plastic fragments, Styrofoam and bottles are more than knee-deep and stretch as far as the eye can see.

“Plastic pieces of every shape and size are tangled amongst the log debris and you only have to peer into the salal bushes to see how much is push up about the high tide line in the winter storms,” Gordon said.

ISLAND IN BRIEF

Johnson said in a press release.

On May 9, 2019 the search warrant was executed on the home and several digital devices were seized.

These devices were subsequently examined and enough evidence was obtained to secure charge approval for possession of child pornography on two residents that lived in the home.

On Aug. 23, two arrest warrants were issued for two males (aged 49 and 22) for possession of child pornography contrary to Section 163.1(4) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

Campbell River RCMP Major Crime Unit arrested two Campbell River residents and brought them before the courts where they were released with strict conditions and a first appearance date of Sept. 9.

“When we are alerted to these types of investigations in our area by our provincial and national child exploitation unit partners it reminds us that the internet provides the opportunity for these types of crime to occur in any town at any time, even here in Campbell River. Holding people accountable for these types of actions requires a determined investigation that takes time and commitment to conduct thoroughly, time and a commitment that we are willing to give.” Sgt. Johnson said.

Nanaimo RCMP aim to curtail theft of catalytic converters Someone is stealing vehicle catalytic converters in Nanaimo and RCMP hope the public can help drive the police investigation forward.

According to Nanaimo RCMP, since the beginning of January, they have received 26 reports of catalytic converters being stolen.

A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device that reduces toxic gases and pollutants and is installed near the exhaust pipe.

While a vehicle can still function without the device, a missing catalytic converter does disrupt the overall performance of the vehicle and to have it replaced can cost several thousand dollars Catalytic converters are preferred targets of some scrap metal thieves as the devices contain various amounts of precious metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium, which can be converted to cash at scrap yards or, in some cases, by metal dealers.

Catalytic converters weigh, on average, about 4-4.5 kilograms and thieves steal them by cutting the connections of the device to the exhaust system with a hack saw or sharp blade.

“To date, there have been no arrests or suspects identified and at this time, we are turning to the public for assistance in moving these investigations forward,” said Const. Gary O’Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Aries, be careful with your words so they are not taken the wrong way in the coming days.

If you practice what you plan to say, others will see your words for the kind gesture they are.

Being outdoors has much appeal for you this week, Scorpio. Be sure to get outside and enjoy it as much as possible over the next several days.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Taurus, there’s no need to apologize if you want to stay close to home this week. Invite some friends over to join in the fun.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Expect to work in a group setting this week, Gemini. Doing so will require you to carefully manage your time so everything can be done efficiently. Embrace others’ input and the collaborative effort.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Start this week with high energy, Cancer.

You can ride that momentum through the weekend when you may need an extra boost. Find friends who can help you along.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, don’t be so modest that you won’t share your recent accomplishments with those you love the most. It is okay to brag about yourself once in a while.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, many people are willing to lend you a helping hand, so take them up on their offers.

You will be able to repay them in time if you feel the need to reciprocate.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Join a group of people who share the same goals as you, Libra. It can be a work group or a social movement if you so desire. Either way, socialize along the way.

There is a fine line between being flexible and standing firm when you believe in your point of view, Sagittarius. Speak up if you feel strongly about your position.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Make a concerted effort to ensure a certain situation is not blown out of proportion, Capricorn. Carefully examine things before offering your input.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Try to add more exercise to your routine, Aquarius. Not only will it make you feel better physically, it can clear your head and allow for alone time to do some thinking.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your life may be a little hectic over the next few days as a deadline draws near.

Eventually things will return to normal.
