Saanich News, August 24, 2022

Over the last 16 years ONC has expanded beyond its initial work in the Salish Sea to create an ex tensive network of underwater ob serving infrastructure. According to ONC president and CEO Kate Moran, real-time and long-time series ocean data enable a range of services that facilitate scientific discovery.

The University of Victoria’s Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) initiative will receive a federal in vestment of $114.8 million over the next six years to advance ocean observing and expand the reach of its open access big data.

Announced Friday (Aug. 19), the funding will be awarded through the Major Science Initiatives Fund of the Canada Foundation for Innovation, a fund that covers portions of operating and mainte nance costs of select national sci ence facilities across the country. Canada has the longest coastline of any country in the world and ONC is the only national ocean observatory – it operates more than 9,000 coastal and deep sea sensors in the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic oceans. The support will aid the obser vatory’s endeavour to develop climate crisis solutions, in addi tion to promoting safer coastal communities, Indigenous ocean data stewardship and a sustainable economy.“Thisfunding recognizes Ocean Networks Canada for its leader ship and the profound difference it’s making on all three Canadian coasts and internationally,” said UVic president and vice-chancel lor Kevin Hall. “As a research uni versity, we take pride in working in partnership to create a better world – by taking action on cli mate change and working with partners to make life better on land and below the water.”

FirstDayofSchoolis

Tsawout brothers Tom and Aubrey La Fortune are teaching participants how to design and carve a totem pole alongside the jail’s Indigenous cultural liaison, Max Henry. The project began last summer to provide inmates with a greater sense of community and connection with the land they’re on – whether Indigenous or not. It’s helping inmates build practical skills in drawing and woodworking and learn cultural teachings that will prepare them for life on the outside. It’s the first project of its kind for a maximum-security institu tion and it’s putting the corrections back in correctional, according to Tom LaFortune.

“While optimistic about the on-water and shoreline assessments, we recognize that critical work remains,” he wrote.

In a statement, Saanich acting chief administrative officer Suzanne Samborski confirmed the union re jection of its offer. Should a strike occur, she added, certain “essen tial work” must continue, noting the parties are currently negotiating an essential services agreement in accordance with the provincial La bour Relations Code. “CUPE is not in a legal position to serve 72-hour strike notice until the essential service levels are finalized and approved by the provincial Min ister of Labour,” Samborski wrote. Public services provided by CUPE Local 2011 members includes water, wastewater, sanitation, roads, parks, planning, recreation and police and fire operations. Affordability pro posals the union has brought for ward cover benefit improvements, allowances, safety equipment and casual and precarious worker sup port, its Wednesday statement said. “For a lot of our workers, they’re living paycheque to paycheque,” Graham said, detailing the grow ing struggle to finance groceries, housing and transportation. “We don’t have anywhere to go with what addresses our members needs.”

As Monika Wieland Shields looked out from the west edge of San Juan Island on Tuesday, the die sel sheen from a fishing boat that sunk Saturday was less pronounced.AndbyWednesday, al most 4,000 feet of booms had been dropped into nearby ecologically sensitive areas to absorb the leaked fuels on the Washington state-Greater Victoria ma rine border. Knowing that endangered orcas had come eerily close to the site while other ecological impacts remain unknown, Shields said a better response was needed to protect wildlife.

For Shields, the incident has brought a hard reali zation to the forefront –given the number of boats, freighters and tankers tra versing the area, it likely isn’t a matter of if, but when a larger accident will happen. She hopes the rela tively small spill puts a focus on better preparation and speedier responses that en sure marine life is protected.

Totem pole helps Saanich inmates build community Austin Westphal News Staff

CUPE Local 2011 president Ryan Graham said last week that the dis trict on Aug. 4 withdrew affordabil ity items from its offer. Much of the contract hasn’t been reviewed or updated in more than a decade, he added. The two parties have been negotiating a new collective agree ment since December 2021.

Dion Sam-Joseph, also from the Tsawout First Nation, joined the team of carvers about three months ago when he saw some fellow inmates carving the cedar log from his cell window. While he hasn’t been on the project too long, he’s been able to connect with his Indigenous identity, and more importantly, feel human.

“We thought we were getting somewhere with negotiations in late July, early August,” Graham told Black Press Media. “We would be quite happy to re-enter negotiations and get back to the table … as long as the district is willing to listen.”

The institute tracked the entire southern resident kill er whale population head ing into Haro Strait on the afternoon of the spill, but luckily they turned around just a few miles short of the affected“Havingarea.almost the entire population exposed to die sel is not conducive to them recovering,” Shields said of the close call. Noting it’s not unusual for all 74 known southern residents to travel together in summer, a cata strophic spill could wipe out the remaining population, she“Soadded.many people care about these whales and are doing so much to help the population recover, but one accident could reverse all of that hard work and could result in the extinction of this“Andpopulation.that’sjust not ac ceptable.”Theorcas have since kept their distance, but Shields frets about other animals –like the Biggs killer, minke and humpback whales, har bour seals, steller sea lions and otters – coming into contact with the fuels. “We don’t really know the impacts on marine life yet, but it’s certainly a concern.”

There’s also worry sur rounding whether marine birds such as marbled mur relets and tufted puffins –which are threatened and endangered, respectively –were exposed. Aerial pho tos taken Monday (Aug. 15) placed the murrelets on San Juan Island and showed the sheen heading toward Smith Island – one of the puffins’ local breeding spots. Most of a seine fishing net that floated free from the wreck was pulled from the water on Tuesday, while divers removed some parts of a second net located 30 metres under the surface. A statement from Jon Ladyga, the response’s on-scene coordinator, said they’re proud of all the involved agencies for min imizing the pollution’s en vironmental impacts.

near miss with spill a ‘wake-up call’

“Having trained respond ers and equipment ready to deter marine mammals from an active spill zone seems like something that needs to be deployed with in hours rather than days,” Shields, the U.S.-based Orca Behavior Institute’s direc tor, said in an interview.

“One of the rules around the pole is that everyone’s on a first-name basis,” he said, adding some corrections officers have also joined in the carving. Etched into the totem are images of the eagle, the owl, the wolf, the frog, the bea ver – all important symbols of strength, healing, community and family – and four paddles representing the Salish, Nu-ChahNulth, Kwakwaka’wakw and non-First Nation peoples.

“Everything about this is a positive ex perience. This project’s been an eye opener to all the positives that can come out of (it) – whether it’s a short stay or a long stay in here – it just brings you back to your roots,” he said. “To say the least, it gets us out of that concrete jungle, or cell, for a couple of hours out in the sun. There’s sharing, there’s teaching, there’s learning and a lot of camaraderie.”

Inmates at the Vancouver Island Re gional Correctional Centre in Saanich are hoping to raise a 41-foot totem pole carved from a 340-year-old cedar log this fall.

“This is very concerning and very much a wake-up call.”

District of Saanich workers vote in favour of strike response activities

A majority of the 1,200 District of Saanich workers represented by CUPE Local 2011 voted Tuesday (Aug. 16) to strike, after the union rejected what its president called a “rollover” agreement that fails to address cost-of-living challenges. More than 94 per cent of employ ees who voted picked the option to strike. District and union negotia tors reached an impasse last week after Saanich’s latest contract pro posal was turned down by the union.

Samborski said the district re mains open to resuming negotia tions when the union’s bargaining committee wishes to do so.

Douglas Treaty. For those rea sons, we, as WSANEC peo ple, have a special relationship Under the district’s parks naming policy, Saanich coun cil has the authority to name or rename municipal parks. Back in 2019, council includ ed renaming the park in its four-year strategic plan as an action to recognize the sacred significance of the area to the WSANEC people. In 2021, a memorandum of understand ing was signed between Saan ich and the WLC which pri oritized the park’s renaming. “This is another step for ward in our journey toward reconciliation,” Mayor Fred Haynes said. “As we work to build and strengthen relation ships with our neighbouring First Nations, I’m pleased to address this significant action from our strategic plan.” The plan calls for Saanich and WLC staff to work to gether to develop an appro priate protocol to honour the name restoration. A ceremony to mark the park’s renaming is expected to take place in 2023. Information regarding the event will be shared at Saan ich.ca when it becomes avail able. vnc.editorial@blackpress.ca

The 21st annual Greek Fest descends soon on Royal Oak, returning this year in full swing and expected to attract thousands after enduring limited, distanced and toned-down celebrations in recent Happeningyears.Aug. 26 to 28 and Sept. 2 to 5 at the Greek Community Centre at 4648 Elk Lake Dr., the festival will allow Greek food and cul tural fans to indulge in souvlaki, spanakopita, baklava, loukoumades and two long weekends of free entertainment. The festivities kick off at 11:30 a.m. all seven days. Attendees can enjoy libations courtesy of Hoyne Brewery and Arterra Wines, and should arrive with an immense appetite for authenti cally roasted lamb. The event will also bring back its Greek Heritage Project Museum and shine a light on some of B.C.’s most significant historical Greek figures.

“Personally, I like the feeling of communi ty,” said festival entertainment director Jim Koutougos, whose heritage comes from Patras, Greece.Heanticipates attendance of roughly 20,000 at this year’s event. The festival drew more than 18,000 in 2021, making it one of the country’s largest annual Greek events.

“That took some searching and negotiat ing and jumping through hoops, but we got it done,” Koutougos said. Bringing back the entertainment portion of the event in full this year has proved a struggle, he noted, but he’s pleased to see Greek Fest returning, rain or shine, to the same scale, intensity and spirit of cultural celebration it was“Inpre-pandemic.thecasetherain gods should grace us with that, we have tents for our guests,” he said with a chuckle. “We’re all really looking forward to getting back in full swing.”

Online surveys fail to gauge concerns of local residents

If the same criteria as an open online sur vey (web poll) were used for any democratic election, the UN wouldn’t even bother to send out observers, such would be the obviousness of the Nowfarce.based on this ‘winning formula’, there is even another survey being put out this summer by the district to help determine the future of the Saanich official community plan (OCP) and this one offers once again the agenda of densification, but now for the wider district.

Around British Columbia in recent weeks, far too many people have had a frightening experience – driving to their local emergency room only to find it closed. Several areas, especially in northern and rural B.C., have been hit by doctor and nurse shortages so catastrophic that ERs have simply had to shut their doors on some days. There just aren’t enough personnel to keep them running.Meanwhile, despite years of efforts by both the current NDP and the previous Liberals, one in five British Columbians does not have a family doctor. That’s about one million people. In response to this, one Greater Victoria couple placed an ad in the newspaper seeking a family doctor. Through this unorthodox route, they found one. That prompted Premier John Horgan to quip that perhaps B.C. should take out an ad of its own, to convince the federal government to cough up more money for health services. That kind of flippant response isn’t helpful. For years, we’ve had difficulties with doctor shortages and health staffing in B.C. There have been issues getting for eign-trained doctors and nurses certified. It’s difficult to hire and keep doctors in remote and rural areas. There have never been enough family doctors to go around. The COVID-19 pandemic and an aging population are putting even more pressure on the health system, as professionals struggle withPartburnout.ofthecurrent problem is the latest Omicron wave of COVID-19 sweeping across Canada. Even among triple-vaccinated healthcare workers, absenteeism is up as people sit at home, sick and unable to work for fear of infecting their co-workers and patients. That wave will abate in time, but the under lying doctor and nursing shortage won’t go away when this wave passes.

I just finished reading the article in the Saan ich News about the bike lanes on Tillicum Road. The roads were just fixed in recent years. They are nice and wide, they already have existing bike lanes on both sides. The traffic is extremely heavy on this part of Tillicum as people need to get up to the highway. Saanich politicians talk about the environment, but what they are doing now is having more cars sitting and idling. Those bike lanes are nice and wide, I have used them myself. There is absolutely no reason to spend this type of money on a street that was just fixed a few years ago, it’s one of the best streets in Greater Victoria. I was very impressed with the work and now all that money was for nothing. This new project is a waste of money. I do not understand why the public did not get a chance to vote on this type of spending. With the housing crisis and the cost of living there are plenty more avenues this money could be spent on. I am very disappointed in this decision.

B.C. doctor shortage no laughing matter

Horgan is stepping down as premier in the near future, but he’s still in charge right now. His party will be in charge for a couple more years.Yes, more federal funds would be helpful. But Horgan can’t pretend that provincial hands are tied. Even a partial solution would be better than a bad joke.

Two recent online surveys were created by the municipality of Saanich, claiming to be Cad boro Bay community surveys designed to help the district draft the community’s future design through an updated local area plan. The latest offered even more densification than before, potentially all the way to Telegraph Road, and was open to anyone in the world to fill out, as many times as they wanted; without any work ing verification process in place to determine who they were or where they were from.

How about ending phony unaccountable and unscientific plebiscites and having actual secure referendums for the public instead? Does the council fear real referendums toward their agenda from the public? The only secure survey in Saanich for the actual electorate will be the one at the polls on Oct. 15. At the polls, your vote can finally be counted fairly and accountably. SashaSaanichIzard

Work underway on Tillicum bike lanes

Commuters should expect lane clo sures and delays along Tillicum Road in Saanich, as work continues on bike lane installation and re-laning. Work began Wednesday (Aug. 17), with final line painting expected early next month. A concrete curb buffer will also be added on both sides of the road for protection following the installation of the bike lanes.

Approved by council back in March, the project is estimated to cost $500,000 with the bike lanes expected to open late this year. For more information on this project and others, go to saanich.ca.

“Improving conditions for pedestri ans and cyclists on Tillicum will ad dress an important gap in safe infra structure and help enable residents to have multiple transportation options,” Coun. Rebecca Mersereau, chair of Saanich’s active transportation com mittee, said in the release.

In April 2011, Wellwood then 17 and Moffat then 18, were handed life sentences with a fiveyear concurrent sentence for indignity to human remains in April 2011.

Warning: This story includes references to sex ualized violence and murder. One of the two men responsible for the brutal sexual assault, torture and murder of Langford teen Kimberly Proctor was again denied day parole.Kruse Wellwood, 28, remains a high risk to be violent within a relationship and re-offend sexually with no viable release plan, no commu nity strategy and no support for day parole in place, according to a Parole Board of Canada decision dated Aug. 4.

“It is clear from the statements that the mur dered victim’s family were forever changed by the violent and cruel way they lost their loved one. They were seriously traumatized. They say they have seen no remorse, are angry and do not believe you deserve parole,” the decision reads.

The board noted Wellwood completed a sex offender institutional maintenance program and showed moderate to good commitment and ability to use those skills to manage risk factors. However, the report indicates he discussed sexual fantasies in some detail and indicates Wellwood imagines he is in control of the acts and the partner is a mythical creature whose role is to provide sexual pleasure. Wellwood also ordered anime magazines, one of which was flagged as containing images of women inWellwoodbondage.was first denied parole in May 2020, less than one year after being denied day parole.

A psychiatric assessment completed in 2011 in dicated Wellwood had deviant sexual disorder in the form of sadism, and there were indications of necrophilia. The psychiatrist concluded he was very high risk for committing a similar offence. In July 2019 the psychologist assessed his risk for general and violent reoffending as high, noting sexual deviance rarely changes without extensive and focused treatment.

In an April psychological risk assessment, the psychologist concluded Wellwood remains a high risk for general, violent and sexual reoffending.

Proctor’s family members continued their steadfast input to the board, filing a compel ling submission for the most recent application.

The decision notes that the dynamics of the murder and mutilation of the victim’s body continue to raise serious concerns. Wellwood and Cameron Moffat admitted to pre-planning the rape and killing of their classmate on March 18, 2010, and burning her body under a bridge on the Galloping Goose trail the next day.

One of Kimberly Proctor’s killers denied day parole

The doctor noted Wellwood sat slumped, failed to make eye contact and referred to the murder as the ‘event.’ He did not use Kimberly Proctor’s name throughout the interview. The risk assessment does not support a release or a transfer to minimum security.

A record number of vehicles were fer ried around coastal B.C. this past spring. BC Ferries released first-quarter results Aug. 18, reporting that vehicle traffic this spring was up 42 per cent from the previous year to reach its highest-ever levels for that time of year. Passenger traffic overall was up 74 per cent from the first quarter last year but was 6.3 per cent lower than preCOVID-19 levels; however, vehicle traffic in the first quarter this year was up 3.8 per cent from before the pandemic.

“We are emerging from the pandem ic grateful to the federal and provincial governments for pandemic relief funding, and to BC Ferries’ employees for their commitment to put safety first, operate in the public interest, and ensure ferry travel is as reliable as possible,” said Jill Shar land, the company’s interim president and CEO. “Going forward, our focus remains on ensuring the well-being and safety of our employees and our customers.”

Revenues for the first quarter of 2022 increased $35.7 million from the previ ous year, which BC Ferries attributed to higher traffic volumes as well as retail sales. Removing ‘safe restart’ pandemic recovery funding from the calculations, BC Ferries’ revenues were up $93.2 mil lion from the previous year. The company’s net earnings for the quarter were $7.9 million, up from $4.7 million, and operating expenses were $242.1 million, up from approximately $211 million. BC Ferries reported that the higher expenses were mainly due to more sailings – which came with higher labour costs and greater fuel consump tion – and higher fuel costs. BC Ferries reported $26.5 million on capital expen ditures in the first quarter, which included “quarter-life” upgrades to Coastal class vessels, shoreline work at the Tsawwassen terminal, IT upgrades, and other projects.

“The company apologizes to its cus tomers for these service interruptions and continues to take all reasonable steps to reduce the impact to the travelling public,” the release noted.

BC Ferries reports busiest-ever spring for vehicle traffic

Revenues and earnings were also up, the ferry company noted in a press release.

BC Ferries acknowledged recent sailing cancellations due to crew shortages, but calculated that the cancellations represent fewer than one per cent of ferry trips.

He studied computer science for two years at the University of Vic toria and often uses BC Ferries to visit family and access destinations like Salt Spring Island and the Sunshine Coast.

“The idea is I don’t want to put anything essential behind a paywall.”

“The other routes, it’s more a static schedule,” he said of the non-capacity sailings. People can navigate the majority of his app for free but may access nonessential perks for $4 if they’re frequent users or want to support further improvements and add-ons.

“I find the BC Ferries website a bit confus ing,” said 22-year-old Samuel Pratt, who works for Victoria’s Kano gaming studio and wanted to offer a more convenient and intuitive way to view sailings. He released BC Ferry Times in April for iP hone after revitalizing the interface of the former Ferry Rush BC app that ran from August 2013 to late 2021. Pratt reached out to the app’s develop er, Salmon Runner, which “scraped data”from BC Ferries to show its sailings, and received the code to keep the project going under a new name.

“Eight hundred bottles seems like a lot, but across however many – hundreds of pharmacies – (who) might need some, it goes fast.”

A commonly prescribed an ti-depressant drug is in short supply nationally again and local pharmacies are struggling to secure enough for their cus tomers.There has been a lack of Wellbutrin XL – one of the trade names for bupropion, used to treat depressive dis orders – since July 8 due to a surge in demand, according to the federal government’s drug supplyHarishwebsite.Sharma, owner of the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy on Jacklin Road in Langford, said he was lucky to get in a supply of this extended-release version of the drug on Aug. 4. When he checked the supplier’s website in the morning, there were 800 bottles and he was able to buy 10 to cover his clients’ needs. But when he checked the web site again a few hours later, the stock had completely sold out.

Iriny Serabana, pharmacy manager at Lang ford Pharmachoice on Peatt Road, also pointed out that as there are not a lot of similar drugs avail able, finding appro priate substitutes can be difficult.

The 2020 Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health found 15 per cent of Canadians screened positive for major depressive disorder, twice as many as pre-pandem ic, according to a 2021 report from the Public Health Agen cy of Canada on the mental health impacts of the pan demic.People who reported five or more COVID-19 risk factors were nearly 30 times more likely to have major depres siveWhiledisorder.theestimated end date for the Wellbutrin XL shortage is Sept. 15, Serabana said she’s seen such dates fluctuate with other medications in the past. This isn’t the first time this version of the drug has been in short supply, as multiple re ported shortages have occurred since 2018.

Sharma’s pharma cy is relatively new in the area and he has a smaller client list than some, but the pandemic has still created challeng es with managing stock, he said. Peo ple would ask for a year’s supply of a medication when the pandemic was first declared, but Sharma said he avoided doing that as it would have created shortages and left other customers without. In stead they gave patients only a month’s supply in some cases. In general those fluctuations have mostly settled down, he said. But managing supply, in cluding ensuring medications in short supply are spread out between customers who need them, or making alternatives available, is a regular part of pharmacy work, Sharma added.Inthe case of Wellbutrin XL, Sharma said, its slow-release formulation as a coated tablet means it cannot be split into half doses, making it tougher to spread among more customers.

Bailey Moreton News Staff Victoria Grandmothers for Africa are hopping on their bikes again for a charity ride from Campbell River to Vic toria.The group of 30 women 55 years and older – the number is capped to ensure safety on the roads and that they can find accommodation along the route – will ride 275 kilometres between Sept. 9 to 11 to raise money for grandmothers in Africa. The campaign is run by the Stephen Lewis Founda tion and supports women rais ing orphaned children whose parents died from HIV/AIDS.

Grandmothers’ pedalling powers African relief effort

“Our jobs is to raise funds and their job is to raise chil dren,” said Lisbie Rae, 78, a spokesperson for the Victoria group and a longtime volun teer and participant in the rides.Rae got involved with the organization in 2007 after hearing a speech by Lewis. She started volunteering in Hamilton, and upon moving to Victoria in 2015 hopped on her bike and began rid ing, gradually at first. Rather than jumping straight in with the long ride, she did a 50-ki lometre ride on the Saanich Peninsula.“Idecided I better be smart, rather than ambitious,” Rae said.Able to manage that effort, she decided the following year to train for the full ride and has been doing it ever since – although it’s always still a challenge.“Yesterday we did about 82 (kilometres). Next week, we’re doing two in a row, Monday and Tuesday, and they’re both over 90. So having done that, if you can do that, then you can do the Campbell River ride. So call me next week,” Rae said, laughing.“They’re a very supportive team. Some of them are elite cyclists, all 55 years and older. Many of us are in our 70s and some of the people who are doing the months-long tour are in their 80s. So it’s a pret ty remarkable, supportive community of older women cyclists.”Thegroup is also organiz ing and seeking participants for a virtual ride happening Aug. 13 to Sept. 9, with riders able to set their own distance goals and ride when they can. A wait list exists for the Camp bell River ride. In 2020 the group raised $147,000 and Rae hopes they’ll be able to beat that this year.

Volunteers and staff at the south Island’s wildlife rehab facility in Metchosin have babies, branches and browse on the brain. BC SPCA Wild ARC is in need of greenery as its raccoon patients grow and transition to outdoor enclosures. The branches and browse provide enrichment and help prepare the crit ters for their return to the wild. Staff and volun teers use cedar branches with lots of greenery attached because it sheds easily and is usually not full of sap, making it ideal for enclosures.

Anyone with cedar branches to share can email info@wildarc.com to schedule a drop off. Maturing raccoon cubs aren’t the only babies at the centre. The mid-August wave of squirrel kits is right on time. Babies can quickly become critically ill without proper care, so anyone who finds an animal they are concerned about should consult with a wildlife specialist. Anyone who finds a wild animal they feel may be in distress should contact the BC SPCA pro vincial call centre at 1-855-622-7722 for advice.

Volunteers with Wild ARC celebrate pair of bird releases

Baby bump brings need for cedar branches

A pair of birds set free mark the month the BC SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre celebrates its silver anniversary. On Aug. 5, 1997 an oriole became the first of more than 50,000 wild animals admitted to the Metchosin facility. Other patients that month included wrens, gulls, American robins, Canada geese and crows. Wild ARC is the only wildlife reha bilitation centre on southern Vancouver Island and treated 3,128 animals last year. This month volunteers en joyed at least two bird releases, shared on social media. A barn owl arrived in June at the rehab centre and healed enough to be released earlier this month. Donors raised more than $2,000 to support the animal. After getting trapped and needing to be res cued, a gull spent a few days in care while it recovered from some minor wounds. It was also released this month.

A pair of finch chicks remain in care after they were found alone on the ground beside their deceased sibling. When they arrived at Wild ARC, they were bruised and cold, but otherwise alert. With no nest or parents for reunification, and damage done by a long fall, rehabili tators worried about internal trauma.

Fawns on lawns: Oak Bay seeks long-term deer plan

The BCSPCA supports such non-lethal measures as landscape changes, fencing that deer can’t see past, motion-activated lights and sprinklers, and the planting of fragrant, prickly and poisonous plants such as daffodils, lavender and rhododendrons. It also supports the UWSS program, a spokesperson confirmed.

vnc.editorial@blackpress.ca

“I’m hoping to see a sustained reduction in fawns every year,” she said, adding population numbers for 2021-22 are still being finalized. After the first year, the numbers dropped to 58 per cent of the original population.

In a recent statement to Black Press Media, the ministry said it continues to partner with Oak Bay on the contraception program “on a trial basis before determining next steps.”

While a long-term deer management plan for Oak Bay remains in the works, Fisher cautioned the community about resident fawns growing older and, as a result, more mobile.

Saanich News www.saanichnews.comA26 Wednesday, August 24, 2022

No silver bullet, despite 40 per cent population drop

Today Fisher sees the program receiving a more positive reception and insightful ques tions from the community than when it began. A temporary pause on the program was ini tially planned so researchers could rule out environmental factors that may contribute to deer population growth, but Fisher said Oak Bay council chose to keep it running to maintain lower numbers and will help decide what happens next. In Oak Bay, does no longer carry the bulkier GPS collars. “They were big and they had bat tery packs in them and they fell off after three years’ use.” Deer collars and tags now come in “every colour on the rainbow,” she said, so they stay uniquely identifiable. Does sporting pink tags are mostly unsterile “control deer,”which purposely haven’t received contraception to help UWSS track their move ment in comparison to sterilized does.

“In that time, we saw a huge change in the number of fawns being born.” Given their low survival rate, she said, “it’s not like you see a fawn and that equals one deer the next year.”

The Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society (UWSS) continues to analyze data from the program’s third year and aims to pursue a sus tainable future for deer and residents alike. This year’s focus will include deer habitat use before and after contraception, fawn and adult deer abundance after three years of sterilization, and plans for science-based, long-term and non-lethal urban deer management.

The Ministry of Forests stated in 2016 that alternatives to fertility control, such as culling, must be used to achieve quicker results and that sterilization requires capturing, treating and surveilling 70 to 90 per cent of does for longterm population change. Its Provincial Urban Deer Operational Cost-Share program matches up to $100,000 annually for communities de veloping socially acceptable deer management solutions and will soon let municipalities apply for the 2022-23 year.

“There’s no silver bullet in this, or else we would’ve found it.”

“Like most middle schoolers, they’re not going to make good choices,” she joked, speak ing from experience as a mother. “Keep your eyes peeled for those goofy fawns.”

UWSS research team helper Alina Fisher said contraception, GPS collars and camera traps were used to reduce the approximately 100-adult-deer population to about 60 between 2019 and 2021.

Oak Bay’s immunocontraception program has cut deer numbers in and around the mu nicipality by 40 per cent since it began in 2019.

In terms of other options, culls prove largely ineffective and translocation merely moves the problem from one community to another, Fish er said. A sudden absence of deer somewhere may prompt does in other areas to fill that space, capitalize on reduced food competition and even team up.

Metchosin horse heroine celebrates award winner Bailey Moreton

After some years there, the five-yearold Bella was ready to be trained into a serious competitor, but it was hard to find a buyer. Being a small town breed er, it took some convincing for people to take Leweke and Bella seriously. Several Island riders Leweke ap proached weren’t interested, but even tually, Leweke reconnected with Alicia Gadban Lewis, who had purchased a horse from her when Gadban was 12. With their past connection, Leweke convinced the Delta-based equestrian that Bella truly was special. Gadban Lewis trained her up and now they’re travelling the world, re cently winning the Canadian Show Jumping Championships in November. “I worked hard to be able to pay for this and it’s a real honour to know that she was bred and born in Metchosin and now she’s on the international

Paula Leweke spent years working to be able to afford to rescue horses. Now “a miracle”has happened in her words: one of her horses has been named best bred Canadian horse for 2021. The national award, presented to her by Equestrian Canada, comes after a long journey for both Leweke and Bella, the winning 10-year-old horse who went from clopping around Metchosin as a young filly to jumping under talented Canadian rider Alicia Gadban Lewis on the international stage. “In the international, really expensive horse world, I am a nobody,” Leweke said. “It’s really, really fabulous and fantastic and a bit of a miracle, because these are the kinds of horses that top riders in Canada and the United States usually go to Europe to buy and pay $500,000 up to a million dollars each for them. The fact that this quality and level of an athletic horse was bred here – it just shows that Canada has the capabilities of breeding top inter nationalLeweke’shorses.”lovefor horses was instilled early, growing up on a ranch in Mount Robson, off of Highway 16 north of Jasper National Park. Between pack trips over the Rocky Mountains and living on the ranch, she developed a good eye for horses. She worked as a nurse and later taught nursing at several universities as well as Camosun College, and kept her eye on saving enough to be able to afford horses of her own. She started rescuing horses and eventually breed ing them at her Robin Hill farm in Metchosin.Sheknew early on that Bella – who competes under the name Beneficial – was a winner. “I’ve known that she was very, very special from the time that she was born. She was incredibly athletic with a very strong hind end.” Bella was born from a mare, Ivy, that competed nationally, but never reached the heights her offspring has since. Looking to give her prized filly a chance to run and grow stronger, Leweke sent her to a big open ranch in Kamloops when Bella was around two.

The battle against local food insecurity con tinues as residents rallied to raise cash to repair a Victoria community fridge and organizers seek to install a second one.

“In my experience being at the fridge, the pantry and fridge can go from completely full, to empty in anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour,” Community Food Support member Jewel Bohach said. “The team currently shops for about $500 worth of groceries a week to fill the fridge. If we had the funds, we could triple that amount and still not have enough food.”

After over a year of heavy use, the fridge door broke and the appliance remains off until it can be repaired or replaced. An online fundraiser targeting $3,000 for repairs far exceeded the target within a day. The online fundraiser will cover cost of re pairs or removal and replacement as well as stocking the pantry with increased dry goods in the fridge’s absence. Additional funds raised will be used for future repairs, food and a fridge for a second location – once organizers find a “Ifspace.we had two, three or even four fridges right now there would still be a place for folks to access fresh food while we fixed the fridge,” BohachThey’vesaid.been looking for a second location for about a year. “It can sometimes be a bit demoralizing doing outreach with such little success, but we are still hopeful to find that needle in a haystack. I think that the stigma surrounding people who are assumed to use a resource like a community fridge deters potential hosts,” Bohach said. Community fridges popped up more across Canada in response to growing rates of hunger prompted by COVID-19. According to HungerCount 2021, food bank visits increased by more than 20 per cent since 2019, with more 1.3 million visits to food banks in March 2021. HungerCount is a cross-section al, census survey of most Canadian food bank programs compiled by Food Banks Canada. Because of COVID-19, the organization did not conduct a survey in 2020. Food banks in urban centres of 100,000 peo ple or more showed massive increases in need, with 28 per cent seeing visits more than double compared to 2019. “It is currently impossible to keep up with the need for no barrier access to food in the community. The fridge is based on ‘solidarity not charity’ and there is no divide between people who give or take food,” Bohach said. Anyone looking to host a community fridge – with access to an electrical outlet, four to eight square feet of space and room to pro tect it from the elements can email fridges@ communityfoodsupport.com.TheCommunityFridgeVictoria and Oak lands Community Association co-host an event Aug. 28 where folks can meet the volunteer team, listen to some live music, learn about grass roots groups, play lawn games, and have breakfast at Oakland Community Centre, 2725 Belmont Ave. from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Visit communityfoodsupport.wordpress.com to learn more about the organization. vnc.editorial@blackpress.ca

The federal government says it’s committed to a fair wage deal with employees at Great er Victoria’s naval base, but said it is disappointed their union walked away from the bargaining table.

The Treasury Board of Canada’s most recent offer of an annual 1.75-per-cent wage increase is out of touch given current cost of living challenges, the union said at theTherally.Treasury Board said it hopes to work collaboratively with PSAC at the bargaining table, as it believes a deal that’s fair for employees and reasonable for Canadians can be reached. The feds added they’re disappointed that the union has stopped negotiating in recent months.

“We are concerned about public comments from the Public Service Alliance of Canada on specific propos als being discussed at the bargaining table and would simply state that this is not an accurate portrayal of the events in question,” Martin Potvin, a spokesperson for the Treasury Board, said in anPSAC’semail. national president Chris Aylward told Black Press Media the Federal Public Sector Labour Rela tions and Employment Board agreed the two sides were at an impasse in June. He said the next step is for a three-person panel to hear what both sides need to get a deal done before it produces a report on the negotiations, which could take months. PSAC also claimed the government’s recent offer re jected mandatory training on systemic racism and discrim ination. The Treasury Board said that doesn’t fairly repre sent the work with bargaining agents that promote positive and safe workplaces.

The Government of Cana da has courses available for all its public servants on In digenous topics, harassment prevention and anti-racism –including a mandatory orien tation course for new employ ees, which includes diversity and inclusion components, Potvin added.

CFB Esquimalt members represented by the Public Sec tor Alliance of Canada were among the federal workers ral lying near the base on Aug. 10 for fair wage increases.

“The public service is com mitted to taking continual and deliberate steps to remove discrimination from our in stitutions, and to addressing all forms of such oppression, as well as challenging biases, and empowering employees. We remain steadfast in our commitment to building a diverse and inclusive public service and will continue to work with bargaining agents to realize this goal.”
