The B.C. government is taking steps to seize two properties, as well as cash and a vehicle, from three people allegedly linked to the Savages Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.

A civil forfeiture claim was filed on May 29 in the B.C. Supreme Court against John Robert-Lee Riches and two others to confiscate a strata lot on Goldstream Avenue, a single-fam-

ily home on Sooke Road, a 2014 Dodge Ram and about $47,000 in cash.

The claim stems from a Greater Victoria drug-trafficking investigation that resulted in Jan. 31 RCMP raids on both properties, as well as on the Savages’ Langford clubhouse.

At the time, police called the Savages a “support club” for the Hells Angels.

This is a civil forfeiture claim, and none of the defendants have been charged with a crime related to the raids, though several other people

were charged as a result of the investigation.

The defendants have 21 days from when they are served notice to file a response if they wish to dispute the claim, otherwise a judgment could automatically be made in favour of the province.

Riches is said to be the sole registered owner of the Goldstream Avenue property, while the Sooke Road property is owned by Kenneth Sylvan Baker and Taylor Church.

Wealth is measured by what you give to others Tim Collins Contributor

Indigenous Peoples have a rich history, heritage, resilience and diversity that has shaped the Canada we know today.

That fundamental truth will be on full display at Starlight Stadium in Langford on Saturday, June 8 when the Change Makers Gathering Festival opens its doors to the community for an afternoon of games, cultural events, food and fun.

The free event is offered to the entire community to honour Indigenous culture, values, and history. It also recognizes the invaluable and generous guidance of Indigenous knowledge keepers who are helping to make the event happen.

Charla Huber, an Indigenous relations and communications consultant and organizer of the festival, was a driving force behind the creation of the Change Makers Gathering Festival.

She said the event shares Indigenous knowledge in a safe place.

“A key part of reconcilia-

The crowd watches as dancers perform at the Change-Makers Gathering Festival in 2022. (Justin SamanskiLangille/News Staff) tion is about people educating themselves (about Indigenous people) and this festival is an opportunity for people to come and participate. It’s a chance to learn and to have fun.”

Huber credits the participation of a dedicated group of volunteers and the generous support of sponsors for the event’s success.

This year’s festival is sponsored by Langford Fire Rescue, Metchosin Fire Dept., Sc’ianew Cheanuh First Nation, the Metchosin Arts and Cultural Centre Associates, FortisBC, Keycorp, the Indigenous Prosperity Centre, West Shore Parks and Recreation, Charla Huber Indigenous Communications, the Province of BC, the City of Langford

and the Goldstream Gazette.

“It is such an honour for the City to host the Change Makers Gathering Festival for the third year in a row,” said Scott Goodmanson, Mayor of Langford. “Council has committed to take action towards reconciliation by working to implement the actions specific to local government as outlined in the Truth and

Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action. This event aligns with our priority to collaborate with Indigenous partners and celebrate Indigenous culture.”

Festival attractions will include educational and artistic features, including an Elder-led cedar weaving workshop with two Coast Salish artists – one doing Coast Salish collage and design, and the other drawing and painting.

There will be several Indigenous artisans on site as well and, in another area of the festival, teens will be able to paint their own skateboard decks (perhaps incorporating what they’ve learned about Indigenous art). The decks and paint will be provided free of charge.

Of course, no festival would be complete without entertainment: the Change Makers Gathering Festival will welcome an impressive collection of Indigenous drum and dance groups and, at 1 p.m., there’ll be a performance by hip hop/ rap artist Stax.

Food is also a part of every festival and again, the festival won’t disappoint.

“We’ll have a free Bannock taco lunch for people to enjoy.

That’s a modern Indigenous food and it’s delicious,” Huber said.

The very fact that the event has been organized in a way that provides food, entertainment and activities free of charge is indicative of the Indigenous culture that is being celebrated.

“This is all part of Indigenous values and culture. It’s a gift to the community and (in Indigenous culture) a sign of wealth has always been measured in what you give away, not what you keep,” Huber said.

“It’s an important, valuable event for everyone and we’ve worked really hard to create something for the whole community. And it seems to have worked since we get a whole cross-section of the entire community coming out and participating.”

The sixth annual Change Makers Gathering Festival takes place at the Starlight Stadium in Langford and will run between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Miracle on Bear Mountain raises over $1 million for Victoria hospital Thomas Eley News Staff

A ‘miracle’ happened on Bear Mountain on Saturday, May 25, as a record-breaking $1 million was raised for the Victoria Hospital Foundation.

The Miracle on the Mountain event held at the Westin Bear Mountain Resort, a sold out event, raised money in support a new CT scanner for Victoria General Hospital (VGH).

The event couldn’t have started better as local donor Craig Mearns announced he would be matching all donations up to $500,000.

“It’s so important that we all give to ensure our hospitals have the best technology and latest equipment,” said Mearns. “We are all better for it.”

Initially, $956,000 was raised Westshore and Foundations came together throughout the weekend to help reach the seven figure mark.

Included in that was former Langford mayor Stew Young who pledged a $10,000 donation from his Westshore Charity Tournament and

got many other local businesses to donate.

“It goes to show that people on the West Shore want their healthcare to be better,” Young said.

More than 450 guests donated over the course of the event.

“This final total is a tribute to the incredible philanthropists in our community and a pure reflection of the Westshore’s generous nature,” said Avery Brohman, Victoria Hospitals Foundation CEO. The money goes towards the Victoria Hospitals Foundation’s Imaging is Power campaign, which is now just a little over $1 million away from their $11 million goal.

In previous years, the Miracle on the Mountain raised $600,000 and $700,000, but this year’s gala broke that record in four hours.

“We know that the strongest hospitals across Canada have the strongest philanthropy, and what we have done for our imaging department at VGH is powerful and transformative. It is a great privilege to witness such intentional philanthropy,” Brohman said.

Victoria Hospitals Foundation team members, including Foundation CEO Avery Brohman, join local donor Craig Mearns, Radiologist Dr. John Hickle, Westshore champion Stew Young, and presenting sponsor and Gala Chair Amy Ratcliff in celebrating the success of Miracle on the Mountain 2024 in front of a CT scanner supported by the event.

Langford man charged with child porn offences after joint investigation Law enforcement agencies from B.C. and the United States have charged a Langford man with child exploitation after a joint investigation that began last fall.

Jae Alexander Hegan was arrested in January after the British Columbia Integrated Child Exploitation Unit (BC ICE) and West Shore RCMP executed a search warrant on a Langford home. He was then released with a number of conditions relating to children and internet access.

The 31-year-old man from the Langford area now faces seven criminal charges.

The investigation began in September 2023 when the child exploitation unit received information from U.S. Homeland Security investigators about a suspect believed to be in B.C. who was allegedly

participating in child exploitation on a social media app.

BC ICE identified Hegan, who police on Tuesday (May 28) said lured three youth victims online and exploited them. The man made child sexual abuse material of the victims and posted that material on the internet for others to see, a police news release said.

Hegan now faces criminal charges including: making or publishing child pornography, making child pornography available, possession of child pornography, accessing child pornography, making sexually explicit material available to a person under the age of 16 and two counts of child luring.

Investigators recognized the collaboration between the Canadian and U.S. units to identify and arrest Hegan.

“Online child exploitation poses a grave threat to the well-being of our youth, and this case highlights the importance of cross-border cooperation in combating these crimes,” said BC ICE Staff Sgt. Natalie Davis. “Predators are online and accessing our youth at home, in the privacy of their bedrooms. It is important for adults to have conversations with the youths in their lives about how to stay safe online.”

Police say the investigation is ongoing but no more information will be released now that the case is before the courts.

The B.C. government in recent months tabled legislation aimed at holding social media giants accountable for the harms their algorithms cause people, especially kids.

That legislation, which would allow

the province to sue tech giants over tactics deemed harmful to children, has been put on pause after companies like Meta, Snap, TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) agreed to take part in an online safety action table.

The Public Health Accountability and Cost Recovery Act was tabled after Premier David Eby promised the parents of Carson Cleland the province would hold social media companies accountable, following the 12-year-old boy’s suicide death.

Cleland was a victim of online sextortion, which included the sharing of intimate images to an online user who had pretended to be a young girl.

The boy then received extortion threats.

This year has also seen the federal government introduce its online harms bill, which would target content that sexually victimizes a child. The legislation would create a new digital safety commission that could order such content to be removed within 24 hours of images shared without an individual’s consent.

Langford reveals banner for National Indigenous History Month, Pride Month Thomas Eley News Staff

The City of Langford has unveiled new banners recognizing National Indigenous History Month on Thursday, May 30.

“When making this design, I wanted to create a unity between both the 2SLGBTQIA+ and the Indigenous communities that would be seen as powerful for both groups and equally meaningful for people residing in both groups,” said Jeannie Chipps daughter of Russ Chipps, Chief of Sc’ianew First Nation.

Chipps incorporated the colours of the pride flag with aspects of Indigenous culture, and the ‘Rainbow Trout’ flag will be displayed on lampposts along Goldstream Avenue.

June is National Indigenous History Month and Pride Month.

“These banners celebrate Indigenous art and culture and represent the spirit of diversity and inclusion that we strive to cultivate within the community,” said Mayor of Langford Scott Goodmanson.

Langford is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, and the project aligns with the council’s strategic objective of taking meaningful actions toward reconciliation.

“Fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and included is a priority of Council,” Goodmanson said.

On Saturday, June 8, Langford is hosting the annual ChangeMakers Gathering Festival on Saturday, June 8, 2024, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Starlight Stadium.

The event honours Indigenous art, culture, values, and history and includes live music and workshops.

An efficient solution to tackle housing crisis Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s latest report highlights some little-discussed problems behind Canada’s ongoing housing crisis.

We’ve all heard about how long it takes to get permits, about the cost of materials and land, and about how difficult it is to find workers.

One thing the report highlights is just how many people are involved in the construction industry in Canada. According to the report, authored by CMHC vice-president Mathieu Laberge, 650,000 people work in the homebuilding industry. That’s more than 16 per cent of Canada’s population.

Laberge also notes that the efficiency of those workers has declined. Some of that is inefficiencies at the institutional level, but Laberge points out that major efforts are underway to fix that side of things. From local councils to B.C.’s housing reforms to Ottawa’s Housing Accelerator program, cities are cutting red tape, speeding up approvals, and increasing density.

But that won’t do it all.

The CMHC report points out that the Canadian construction industry is made up of countless tiny businesses. Across the country, 69 per cent of homebuilding businesses have five or fewer employees. Bigger firms might find more efficiencies, Laberge suggests.

There are some bright spots in the report, including the finding that the number of homes being built per capita is much higher in Calgary and the Vancouver area than in other regions of the country.

If every major centre built homes at the rate of those two cities, Canada would have seen more than 430,000 new units built last year – almost double the 223,000 constructed.

However we find greater efficiency – in design, in modular building, in permitting – that has to be a big part of getting ourselves out of our housing hole.

Making homebuilding more efficient will free up workers to help Canada get out of its housing crisis.

They limped home years after everyone thought they were dead. But they brought back so much silver, they’d been using it for ship’s ballast.

Piracy was used as a tool of warfare and colonialism for a solid century and a half.

Langford breaks barriers: Joins Victoria Pride Parade Thomas Eley News Staff

For the first time, the City of Langford will participate in the Victoria Pride Parade on July 7.

“It is important to see yourself in the community,” Langford Coun. Kimberly Guiry said.

Guiry said she would be at the parade again this year after she, along with councillors Mary Wagner and Colby Harder, attended last year.

“It is a big privilege.”

Langford is already a member of the Victoria Pride Society and participating in the parade aligns with the council’s priority of fostering an inclusive environment in the city.

“We are thrilled to welcome the City of Langford in the Victoria Pride Parade,” said Ace Mann, president of Victoria Pride Society.

Along with attending the Pride Parade, the Langford displayed new city banners designed by Jeannie Chipps, daughter of Russ Chips, Chief

Forfeiture claim includes 2 homes, truck and roughly $47,000 cash From A1 Most of the money was found at Baker’s residence, but money, drugs, guns (or ammunition) and other paraphernalia was found at both properties.

A list of justifications for the seizure are given, but the general argument is that the property was either used to commit a crime, or was paid for with the illicit and unde-

clared proceeds from unlawful activity.

The claim alleges that both Riches and Baker trafficked in controlled substances in Victoria and the surrounding areas.

Riches is the only person named as a member of the Savages, though Baker is alleged to also be a member of a criminal organization.

It is said that Church “ought to have known” the manner in

which his property was being used.

In total, nine properties were searched on Jan. 31. Police found 450 grams of fentanyl, 150 grams of methamphetamine, 200 grams of psilocybin, as well as smaller amounts of crack cocaine, two weapons and just over $46,000 in cash.

The Savages Langford clubhouse has since been listed for sale for over $1.3 million.

One-stop mental health shop throwing pizza party in Langford on June 24 West Shore Foundry will cater to people aged 12-24 and their families Thomas Eley News Staff

Thrive Social Services is throwing a pizza party on Wednesday, June 5, at Veterans Memorial Park in Langford from 4 to 6 p.m. to celebrate the launch of the West Shore Foundry.

“This is not about talking heads. It is about gathering the community to celebrate,” Scott Bradford, Thrive executive director, said.

The Foundry is a one-stop mental health shop incorporating primary care, sexual health, mental health, peer support, family support and social services under one roof.

“It’s really comprehensive. Young people and their families will know exactly where to go. Instead of bouncing around the city trying to find who’s got the shortest waitlist,” Bradford said.

The centre is slated to open in 2026 and will give the team at Thrive plenty of time to get everything ready at the Foundry for when the project is complete.

It will cater to people aged 12-24, whether their needs are physical, mental, or substance-related.

The Foundry will examine all these needs and find ways to address them.

“If one block is missScott Bradford ing, it makes the whole entity unstable. So we must recognize that to be stable in life, we must address all the building blocks,” Bradford said.

For decades, mental health was dealt with in secret, and many suffered in silence, leading to serious consequences like suicide. Bradford said they hope to create an environment where it is safe to talk about these concerns at the Foundry.

“By talking about it, we are 100 per cent making it safe to say ‘I have issues just like everybody else, and I need help,”’ said Bradford.

“When my car breaks down. People don’t judge me for bringing it in to get an oil change, tire fix, or windshield. We shouldn’t be judging people to go and address the issues that they may have.”

CRD seeks Greater Victoria input Colwood Corner on charges that would fund expanded water system Residents and builders are being invited to give feedback on charges that will help fund drinking water projects in the Capital Regional District (CRD).

The CRD says its proposed Regional Water Supply (RWS) Development Cost Charge (DCC) program will aim to ensure costs that service new construction are equitably shared and that the water system meets the needs of Greater Victoria’s growing population.

DCCs are fees paid by developers to help pay for infrastructure that supports growth.

The proposed charging scheme would share costs between new construction projects and existing users to pay for upsizing infrastructure. Regional water supply commission vice chair Karen Harper said that without a cost charge program, existing water users would have to pay higher rates to cover the infrastructure needed to support new development.

Teams tackle unwanted plants near Colwood pond Murray’s Pond Park looks a little less cluttered these days after the Greater Victoria Green Team tackled habitat restoration to celebrate BC Trails Day. June 1 also marked the first day of the Society for Ecological Restoration’s Make a Difference Week and it was filled with smiles at the Colwood park where the team defeated stubborn taproots and root crowns of unwanted plants to create space for more native species to grow.

In partnership with the City of Colwood providing the ecological direction & expertise and local developer, GableCraft Homes providing the financial support, the Greater Victoria Green Team

engaged 24 community members, removing invasive species such as Himalayan blackberry and Scotch broom.

The team removed about seven cubic metres of invasive plant material – the equivalent of 44 bathtubs full – to revitalize 200 square metres of park area.

A good-natured competition for the wackiest root had people excited to dig out the root crowns of the invasive blackberry plants. Participants voted for their favourite wacky root and the winner received a BC Trails Day hat.

The Greater Victoria Green Team is a program of the charity Green Teams of Canada. The purpose of these activities is to

help community members foster deeper connections to others, nature and the places they live, and to empower them to take care of themselves, others, and the environment.

We all experience mental and physical health benefits from being with others in nature, and we can have a positive impact on the environment while doing so.

Next up, the green team plans to remove invasive species in Uplands Park, Oak Bay, on Saturday (June 8). Learn more at meetup.com/Greater-Victoria-Green-Team.

Soccer academy coach hangs up the cleats Rick Stiebel News Staff

Kelly Hunter’s vision of what could be will shine again in September when students in Edward Milne Community School’s (EMCS) Soccer Academy take to the field.

Although Hunter is retiring after 19 years at the helm of the program she launched, she’s certain the principles she emphasised when she kick-started the program will continue.

“I’m sure the academy will be in good hands moving forward,” said Hunter, who began her career at EMCS as a teacher on call in 1998.

“It will be bittersweet retiring, but I am super happy to know the incumbent is equally qualified, and young,” she added with a laugh.

This year marks her 26th at the school, where she has served as head of the physical health and education department for the past eight years. She earned her master’s degree in Leadership and Administration in 2014 while teaching full-time.

Hunter, with the support of former EMCS principal Ross Leadbetter, first approached the Sooke School District’s board of education about starting a soccer academy in 2005.

She has carefully built the program since its inception in 2006, expanding the soccer academy to include students at Dunsmuir Middle School (DMS) and Royal Bay Secondary School (RBSS). The first year included 23 students at EMCS, with 44 taking part this year.

That brings the total for all three schools to about 160 students for the year.

“For a small school, we have a strong number of girls and boys in all grades participating at

Long-time EMCS teacher and soccer academy coach is retiring at the end of the school year. (Rick Stiebel - News Staff) skills in a safe environment,” she explained.

“Everyone is accepting of each other’s skill level, they work so hard together, and they’re having fun while doing it. I witness a real bond between them all, like a family.”

Hunter also had high praise for her “amazing” co-teacher and coach, Amy Hawkings.

“Being a teacher is so rewarding,” Hunter said. “This might be cliché, but while you get to teach youth lifelong skills, a teacher also learns from the students, how to be patient,

EMCS,” she noted. “They all learn such things as sports psychology, weight training principles, defensive and offensive tactical skills in field sessions, futsal, and learning to work as a team.

These are life skills the students can take with them into the world after school.”

Hunter has continued to slowly build the program, resulting in the soccer academy now being offered at DMS and RBSS. “I think what has made the soccer academy so successful is that we try to have fun developing

understanding, compassionate, and how to make positive changes in a their live. A teacher really cares.”

Hunter has always stressed the importance of ensuring the students give back to the community by helping local organizations.

“The support from the people of Sooke is extraordinary,” she said. “And it’s great to see how proud the kids are about the contributions they make.”

Hunter, who played basketball and was on the rowing team at the University of Victoria, has been involved in sports all of her life. She coached basketball, cross country, volleyball and track and field between 2000 and 2019, in addition to her work with the soccer academy.

“They call soccer the beautiful game for a reason,” she said. “Watching the sport with the highest level of skills and athleticism on full display is amazing. Seeing how 11 players on a big field can tic-tac-toe the ball around is truly something special.”

Masato Takao, one of the two coaches Hunter works with, said Hunter’s flexible approach to coaching works well with the students.

“The students are fun while developing skills,” said Takao, owner/operator of JP Sports Training. “Kelly’s always smiling and there’s a lot of mutual respect, which makes it easy to work with her. She will be missed, but knowing Kelly, I’m certain she’ll still be around.”

In the meantime, Hunter’s looking forward to having more time to pursue some of her other passions, notably alpine hiking and golf.

“Retirement probably won’t sink in until I head off on a cruise with some friends in September,” she admitted.

The Capital Regional District is holding tours to teach residents about where their water come from, and how it’s treated. (Bailey Seymour/Black Press)

Capital Regional District hosts watershed tours Bailey Seymour News Staff

The Capital Regional District (CRD) is holding five-hour tours around the Greater Victoria watershed with the goal of educating the public on where their water comes from and the process it takes to get to residents taps.

Throughout the spring, the CRD has been touring residents through the West Shore and Sooke, showing them the Sooke Reservoir, its tributaries, the CRD treatment plant, and everything in between.

“The way we treat our water in Victoria, is we don’t use a filtration system. So we don’t filter the water. It relies on a good source water.

So right from that gate coming in, is where we start thinking about water quality,” said Kathy Haesevoets, who helped lead the tour.

The Sooke Reservoir, which is northwest of Victoria, is the primary source for water throughout Greater Victoria.

Water then travels through a number of pipes to an ultraviolet facility for treatment, which includes UV disinfection to kill bacteria and parasites, and a low dose of chlorine and ammonia which produces chloramine, a long-lasting disinfectant which protects the water from bacterial contamination.

The water system is about 90 per cent gravity fed, as the reservoir is over 150 metres above sea level, and there are multiple reducing stations throughout the distribution network as water moves throughout the city and up the peninsula.

An ongoing concern of the CRD in the looming threat of wildfires around the reservoirs, which would cause ash to cloud the water, which makes it more difficult for UV to disinfect the water properly, however there are currently initiatives being taken to reduce the risk of wildfire as much as possible.

“It’s a forested environment, previously harvested, so a lot of it is second growth in the CRD area. Almost 45 per cent has been logged at some time in the past. We don’t do the harvesting anymore, but what the legacy of that has left us with is a forest that is at quite a high density, and it’s a certain stage in a forest, where there’s a lot of fuels that build up,” said Haesevoets.

There are tours still available through June.

Cancer trial at Greater Victoria hospital gives researcher hope Part of the research saw BC Cancer incorporating Artificial Intelligence Thomas Eley News Staff

The BC Cancer Foundation is conducting a trial at BC Cancer Victoria to reduce prostate cancer radiation therapy visits from five to two, starting in Dec. 2024.

“I can’t overstate how much progress has been made,” said Doctor Abraham Alexander, a radiation oncologist at BC Cancer Victoria.

“It really is fantastic to see.”

In Alexander’s 18 years at BC Cancer, a lot of progress has been made in cancer diagnosis, and the treatment options for even the most dangerous

have improved.

“People, particularly with prostate cancer, and melanoma, lung cancer, survival rates, are just so much better,” he said. “When I started, you know, people with melanoma that spread often didn’t live very long, with survival rates of like a year.”

BC Cancer had completed research that initially saw the number of visits for chemo from over 20 to five, according to Alexander.

“We were able to give the treatment in five treatments with as little or even fewer side effects as the standard treatment,” he said.

The new trial will run for eight years, and according to Alexander, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the latest research.

“Many of these patients, with our advanced treatments, live five or 10 years more.”

Alexander works alongside a team of six oncologists, two or three medical physicists, 10 radiation therapists and four or five nurses at BC Cancer

Victoria.

“It ends up being quite a large team because it takes a lot of expertise and different disciplines to deliver these treatments.”

Alexander’s research was only possible with community engagement, and he said he is fortunate to have the support he has in Victoria.

The trials are randomized, and patients undergoing standard treatments can be allowed to participate in the clinical trials offered by BC Cancer.

“We couldn’t make our humans better without people enrolling in trials, and clinical trials are a really important part of what we do,” he said.

Part of the research saw BC Cancer incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) that would allow researchers to assess the amount of radiation that is being delivered into the body, Alexander said.

“We’re hoping by applying AI to target the radiation better, we’ll be able to, you know, further reduce the side effects of the treatment.”

Doctor Abraham Alexander is excited about the latest cancer research at Royal Jubilee Hospital and said the advanced treatments could prolong life by five to 10 years.

An initiative hopes to spur some good in the community alongside a summer pastime in Victoria.

Soap for Hope Canada has partnered with the Victoria HarbourCats on a program that looks to provide more than 2,000 kids and teens in Victoria with essential hygiene and oral-care products.

Throughout the baseball season, the charity will be collecting gently used and new hygiene products at HarbourCats home games, while also raising funds through an 50/50 raffle.

A donation bin will be present at Royal Athletic Park and fans are encouraged to donate gently used shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, along with new items like deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes.

Soap for Hope Canada provides essential hygiene products to various in-need groups and has distributed almost 10 million items since 2015. That effort has also saved one million pounds from ending up in the landfill by finding a home for products that otherwise would’ve been thrown away.

78-year-old’s Blenkinsop Valley property Mark Page News Staff

A group of Blenkinsop Valley residents are banding together to help a 78-year-old woman secure her home after six suspected break-ins over the course of two weeks, all while she was in the Royal Jubilee Hospital.

Saanich police are investigating the reports and have now

been to the property several times, which belongs to Anne Tolmie.

“The Saanich Police have open files into this matter and officers are actively investigating the circumstances,” Inspector Damian Kowalewich said in an email to Black Press Media on Tuesday (May 28).

In what appears to be a series of burglaries, thieves made off with everything from parts of furniture to copper piping. Also missing is some antique dishware — the Tolmie family has a long history in the area and the house is (or was) full of heirlooms — including a 14th century Welsh plate.

She says police did not take her seriously enough at first, and so the break-ins kept happening.

It all began on Victoria Day when Tolmie said she showed up to check on her house.

“Everything had been gone through,” she told Black Press at the house on Tuesday afternoon. “All the closets, all the drawers — everything was open.”

She had moved out of the house in February after coming down with pneumonia, and now just returns home on day passes from

Royal Jubilee Hospital.

Tolmie called Saanich police, who promptly took her back to the hospital.

“They kind of took a cursory look through the middle of the house and grabbed me by the arms and said ‘you’re supposed to be in the hospital’ and took me back,” she said.

She returned to the house each day for the next few days, finding each time it had been broken into again.

Eventually she called a police line to try to reach the RCMP because she said Saanich Police didn’t seem to be doing anything about it.

A Victoria police officer and a nurse showed up, and then got the ball rolling toward a more thorough investigation by the Saanich Police Department.

Police found a pry bar and a discarded cigarette butt in the house, all which was taken for evidence.

The condition of the home was already not considered good enough for Tolmie to move back into - a leaky ceiling had caused mold to grow in the rafters — but after each break-in the condition of the house got worse and worse.

It is now completely

ransacked, with debris scattered across every bit of floor.

Nearby neighbour David Chambers, who works and lives at Madrona Farms was at Tolmie’s on Monday and Tuesday to help sort through the mess and secure the house.

Other neighbours are now helping keep watch.

Chambers first went over to the house on Saturday after Tolmie approached him and explained she was a bit afraid to go up to the house alone.

“They’ve taken quite a bit of stuff,” Chambers said. “They’d cut the pipes to her oil heat, taken the pipes off the hot water tank.”

When he returned for the cleanup it appeared the thieves had returned yet again.

“We had a whole group of people going to meet at 11 a.m. I was the first one and I saw the doors are wide open,” he said.

“So, then we have to call the police back in again.”

The neighbours are now getting more vigilant.

“We just got the lawns mowed, we got windows boarded up, we screwed windows shut that had been pried open, and started to clean up,” Chambers said.

The Victoria Humane Society is looking for a second property while they experience “out of control” overflow according to executive director Penny Stone. (Kiernan Green/News Staff)

Victoria Humane Society looking for second property amid overflow Bailey Seymour News Staff

The Victoria Humane Society is currently looking for a second property as they continue to face an unprecedented excess of dogs and cats as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently, the shelter is housing about 100 dogs and 200 cats, where on a normal year, they would only carry about 50 of each.

“We have our spay neuter clinic here. But unfortunately, all of our animals go into foster care,” said Penny Stone, executive director of the Humane Society. “The problem with this is people are asking us to take on animals from hoarding cases or whatever, and we don’t know anything about them. So you’re bringing animals in and asking people to take them home without any knowledge of what they’re like.”

A major factor of the overflow other than rising prices on pet food and supplies, she said, is due to people who adopted pets during the pandemic that couldn’t be spayed or neutered, and now that people are going back to work, they surrender their animals.

“The animals that weren’t spayed and neutered, are having babies who are having babies, and it’s gone crazy. It’s spiraled out of control,” she said.

They are now searching for a second property so they can better assess pets and give them the proper care needed before they go to a foster home, however, that has proven to be difficult.

Stone said although they have someone who is willing to donate funds to go towards buying a new property, they would still need a property that could be renovated, doesn’t have close neighbours, and it would need to be zoned as a kennel.

The Humane Society is currently providing spaying and neutering services to remote communities around the island in n effort to

stem the flow.

“It’s kind of too little too late. It’s sad that we can’t get this under control. We picked up a Tupperware bucket on the side of the road full of 19 puppies that are only four weeks old the other day, it just is not stopping,” said Stone. “Please spay and neuter your pets. It’s so important.”

Island students with hearing loss make connections at Cadboro Bay park Annual event links hard of hearing kids with their peers through games and activities Jake Romphf News Staff

As they dove for prime tic-tac-toe positions or went fishing for magnets, students with hearing loss from across south Vancouver Island got to forge connections on Wednesday (May 29) that they may not get to make every day.

The festivities marked the Greater Victoria School District’s annual deaf and hard of hearing beach day at Cadboro-Gyro Park.

Students from five school districts came together for the day of games, which aims to spur social connections. Many of those who took part in Wednesday’s event are the only ones in their class or school who have hearing loss, so the beach day’s Amazing Race-style games allows them to meet other kids like themselves, said Megan Jantz.

The SD61 teacher, who works with students living with hearing loss, said those kids can sometimes struggle at school. Jantz gave the example of those students missing invitations to play at times when they can’t hear

Grades 6 to 12 competed in challenges in the Cadboro Bay the calendar.

“They love it, like we have some Village shops just down the street, kids who start talking about (beach vying to get their names on a trophy day) in September. They really look resembling the Stanley Cup. A series forward to this and connecting to of games also accommodated stutheir peers and others,” Jantz said. dents who are both deaf and blind.

But students weren’t the only ones benefitting as the around 40 to 50 parents who helped out on Wednesday also got to meet others in similar positions.

“It can feel really isolating and alone when your kid is the only one at the school (with hearing loss),” Jantz said, who added that beach day has put more emphasis on involving parents in recent years so they also know they’re not alone.

The park outing was supported by various deafblindness and hardof-hearing agencies who could refer parents to community programs

available to families.

Jantz said people sometimes don’t fully understand the challenges kids face in school when they have hearing loss.

The school district has aimed to help those kids foster connections with their peers in the classroom through initiatives like having agencies give entire classes American Sign Language (ASL) lessons.

Jantz hoped the friendships kids made on Wednesday would last beyond beach day, which the teacher said has been a common result of the annual event.

Trustee says mortgage broker Greg Martel ran ‘massive Ponzi scheme’ Bankruptcy court application shows 930 creditors have $317 million in claims against Martel’s company Mark Page News Staff

A court appointed receiver says former Victoria mortgage broker Greg Martel was operating a “massive Ponzi scheme” that defrauded investors of almost $270 million.

Martel’s debts were laid bare in bankruptcy documents filed on May 21 by PricewaterhouseCoopers — the receiver appointed as trustee to oversee the insolvency proceedings for Martel’s company — alleging he owes 930 creditors a total of $317 million. Meanwhile, Martel’s whereabouts are unknown, potentially somewhere overseas, according to the filing.

Investors had plowed money into a company run by Martel that was supposed to be providing bridge loans for mortgages. But the

court filing called it a Ponzi s c h e m e, saying that no actual bridge loans were ever made a nd when Greg Martel investors needed to be paid out, Martel’s company just used money from new investors.

The filing was made to oppose the discharge of Martel’s bankruptcy proceedings, something he could have been eligible for after the end of a nine-month period, which is May 31. His lack of cooperation in the process, along with the activity that allegedly led to the bankruptcy, are given as reasons for keeping the process active.

The document also says those investors are unlikely to get anything back from Martel or the the company that he owned, My Mortgage Auction Corp. (MMAC), also known as Shop Your Own Mortgage.

“The trustee does not expect that

the investors will receive any recovery from the bankruptcy estates of Martel or MMAC,” the document states.

Warrants have been issued for Martel’s arrest in the U.S. and Canada. The document says that he was residing in Thailand until Aug. 31, 2023, when he was deported to Dubai, UAE. The document goes on to say he has not cooperated at any time since the start of the receivership and bankrupt-

cy proceedings.

“He did not turn over his books and records of MMAC, disclose the nature and extent of MMAC’s assets, or answer questions put to him even though court orders were made directing him to do so,” the document reads.

PricewaterhouseCoopers also alleges that not only was the company operating as a Ponzi scheme, Martel helped bring on bankruptcy by living

in “unjustifiable extravagance.”

This includes spending by him and the company between 2018 and 2023 of $3.1 million for travel such as private plane charters, $3.1 million for vehicles, $1.1 million for rent at multiple homes, and $261,000 for meals.

The situation is also the subject of an investigation by the Victoria Police Department and the BC Securities Commission.

Set sail from Mill Bay with Captain Hook Chadd Cawson Black Press Media

Set sail on the Saanich Inlet with Captain Hook aboard the MV Klitsa – you definitely won’t see crocodiles but you may be lucky enough to ogle orcas.

Captain Aaron Hook has been with BC Ferries since 1991, and has been leading the sea training for the deck department at Swartz Bay for the last 20 years, but since December he has had the privilege of commanding of the MV Klitsa. Since taking on the run, Hook says he loves being on the small boat, and the meet-the-people attitude that comes with it. Another highlight for him was seeing a pod of orcas in March, something he had never witnessed personally in all his years pleasure fishing in the area.

“I’ve always enjoyed working this run… I like it down here,” said Hook. “It’s really excellent to see killer whales coming back into the Saanich Inlet.

They went right down into Goldstream… I also really enjoy getting to know all the commuters and the people around here.

I get to meet a lot of retirees, and they are a lot of fun too. I feel very lucky to be a part of this ferry and this route; it has been a big part of Brentwood Bay and Mill Bay for a lot of years and I hope it keeps going for many more.”

The route between Mill Bay and Brentwood Bay, dubbed as “The Island’s Most Beautiful Shortcut”

by B.C. Ferries, is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year.

With a boatload of history this route is the oldest continuous ferry service on the coast of B.C., and was first started by

Passengers and crews take in the views as the M.V. Klitsa approaches Brentwood Bay. (Chadd Cawson/Black Press Media) two former naval officers Kennaird and Williams in November 1924.

“BC Ferries is thrilled we’ve been able to provide service for so long, the journey to this milestone has been amazing,” said BC Ferries senior communications advisor Reet Sidhu. “The Mill Bay to Brentwood Bay route is such a scenic short cut for our customers and

loved by the crew. We want to acknowledge that this route is in WSANEC [whe-SAYnich] territory, specifically the territories and communities of Malahat Nation and Tsartlip First Nation.

BC Ferries is proud to be building relationships with both nations.”

The initial service provided by Cascade Freight and Trading Company first made a

splash with a 22-yearold, 90-foot wooden hulled coastal steamer then called the SS Cascade, which was altered to allow cars to drive on or off the bow and the stern.

As the years passed the SS Cascade saw her steam engines replaced with internal combustion engines, and was eventually rechristened the Brentwood.

The sailing route Brentwood Bay and Mill Bay celebrates its centennial year From A35 It was in 1945 that Cascade Freight and Trading Company was bought out by Coast Ferries Limited, and by the 1950s the Brentwood, which was more than 50 years young, was in need of a replacement. It was around that time Coast Ferries contracted out the construction of a new steel hulled ferry to the Victoria Machinery Depot firm in Victoria and the MV Mill Bay ferry first set sail across the Saanich Inlet route on July 20, 1956, just four years before the inception of BC Ferries which commissioned their first ferry route in 1960, and by 1969 had bought out Coast Ferries Ltd. The MV Mill Bay Ferry that sails just under 6 km in 25 minutes had a few interesting trips back 1989. The first was on May 29, when it ran aground due to the captain falling asleep at the helm. This stemmed from him participating in the Swiftsure Yacht Race earlier that day.

Later that same year on July 5, a problem arose with the Mill Bay ferry’s fuel line and the engine lost power — the fuel line was repaired as the ferry eventually made it to shore under her own power.

BC Ferries had proposed withdrawing the Mill Bay ferry service in 2000, but the waves made by a local protest were strong enough to counter the proposal and preserve the service.

This warranted the Mill Bay being removed from service for two months

carry 19 vehicles, with the capacity to carry 150 passengers. To date, the Mill Bay ferry is not only the oldest working vessel in the BC Ferries fleet, it is also the most fuel efficient. It is powered by an L Gardner and Sons model 8L3 straight-eight engine that generates 152 hp, and burns diesel fuel at the rate of 14 litres per hour – she has 700 horsepower and travels at a maximum of 10 knots, or 18.5 km per hour.

The Klitsa has serviced the Brentwood Bay - Mill Bay route since the summer of 2011 and Hardeep Parmar has been the lone hardworking deckhand ever since. His responsibilities include discharge, charge, and loading, but also all the husbandry and check offs which include making sure all the safety equipment is up to snuff every day such as the rescue boat. The Klitsa, which also serves as a bypass for the Malahat section of the Island highway, has certainly proved to be the little ferry that could and does, and Parmar has proved to be a part of it when it has needed him most. Parmar was one of the members of the relief group who stepped up to keep the island connected and weather the storm during the heavy rainfall that began on Nov. 15, 2021 – to this day is recognized as one of the most damaging storms in B.C. history. It put the Malahat highway out of commission and the Klitsa crew stepped up to do five days worth of work within the span of 72 hours.

It’s not just the vessel that’s got a cool history. The Mill Bay terminal made the movies in 1970 as it was used as a location for a scene during the filming of Five Easy Pieces starring Jack Nicholson and Karen Black. It had brushes with Hollywood again after its renovations with the 2001 film Black Point starring David Caruso and the 2006 film The Mermaid Chair with Kim Basinger.

With the new film studio coming to Malahat Nation in the years ahead, it is exciting to think about what big stars may do a scene at the little terminal next.

It doesn’t cost much to take this scenic shortcut across the Saanich Inlet. For foot passengers 12 and older the fare as of April of this year is $7.55, the fare for those ages five to 11 is $3.80 and those under five sail for free. A standard vehicle excluding its driver and passengers is $17.80 and the fare for motorcycles is $8.75. Tickets for the Mill Bay ferry are 40 per cent off when purchased at Thrifty Foods in Mill Bay or Brentwood Bay, and the best part is they don’t expire.

Between the original MV and the Klitsa the Mill Bay ferry has been smooth sailing for nearly seven decades, giving its passengers a time-saving and picturesque alternate to driving over the Malahat whether one chooses to take their vehicle or park it, and enjoy the sights and the sail.

Reimagining masculinity in Greater Victoria as part of men’s mental health month

“Our society just hinders men’s capacity to that we put on men and connect and relate to others,” she said. can mean having a more challenging masculinity is unnecessary timeThisprocessing trauma, dealing with rejection becoming violent towards either the person and doubles down the harm” and they were interested in or themselves.

Warning: This story contains content that could be triggering to some As the calendar turns to June, it is now men’s mental health month, an area that’s often overlooked.

Men are over-represented in all of these statistics around being unhoused, drug abuse, alcohol abuse and suicide, said Carol Bilson, Director of Operations at the Anti-Violence Project.

“About 70 per cent who commit suicide are male,” she said.

In 2022, of the more than 227 British Columbians who died of suicide, 184 were men.

Additionally, there were 2,511 toxic drug deaths in 2023, and 71 per cent of those were men, according to the BC Centre for Disease Control.

While the feminist movement did wonders for

“The gender expectation that we put on men and masculinity is unnecessary and doubles down the harm.”

Suicide is the second or third leading cause of death for men aged 19 to 44, and for men aged 15 to 25.

Outside of motor vehicle accidents, there is little else killing them, said John Oliffe, research chair in the Men’s Health research program at UBC. For many years, we’ve discussed how traditional ideas of masculinity may have been unhelpful to many men, Oliffe said.

Now, there’s a focus on the concept of toxic masculinity and the negative behaviours associated with it.

“When you’re young, you especially buy into the norms that guide your identity, your role, and sometimes your values, which can be persuasive for many young guys.”

More men needed in caring professions like nursing, therapy From A37 Bilson said young men and boys are told to bury most of their emotions and are often left with two feelings — anger and happiness.

“We haven’t created a society where it’s safe for men to feel. We don’t want to be in proximity to men suffering. Two things have to happen. We must get close to men’s pain and suffering and understand what’s happening.”

Bilson previously worked with abuse survivors and was compelled to start helping to heal men after listening to the women she had been counselling.

“As someone who supports sur-

vivors of violence and someone who works with men, I feel like we cannot separate those two. The health and mental health of men determines the safety of women.”

Gender expectations, in general, are archaic, but expectations around masculinity have not been needed for a long time, Bilson said.

“All those things left these old notions that only men provide and protect. And that’s all we require of them, to bring home the bacon. We did a disservice to men, genuinely,” added Bilson.

“Men are being asked to reimagine masculinity, and I think it’s

Men have been disconnected from their emotions and a male liberation movement is needed for men, said Carol Bilson, director of operations at the Anti-Violence Project (BPD file Photo)

structure.’”

More men are needed in caring professions like nursing, therapy and education, said Carl Haynes, Men’s Education & Research Coordinator at the Anti-Violence Project.

“With the baby boomers, aging out and going into retirement, and old age, there’s going to be an increased need for these care professions,” Haynes said.

An increasing lack of male educators has also worried Haynes, as there is a lack of positive male role models for young men.

“This is where you see other men

because of society’s ideas of what women were supposed to do, and who was supposed to bring the income and who was supposed to raise children. All of that has been completely flipped on its head.”

Increasingly, some young men have started turning to ‘toxic’ male influencers.

“The masculinity that they’re projecting, first of all, is a familiar masculinity,” Bilson said.

It doesn’t ask people to change, she said.

“I always say ‘the patriarchy sells men fake power. It’s an external power. And it’s a fake power

stepping in, through social media and filling the gap,” Haynes said.

In May, Our Place in Victoria surveyed the unhoused along Pandora Avenue.

“It is about 77 per cent,” said Grant McKinnon, communications director at Our Place.

“Usually, it is about 80 per cent.”

On the vulnerability index, when it comes to the unhoused, men are less likely to move into supportive housing, with the average age of a male on the street being 55.

When it comes to unhoused youth, about 63 per cent of young people in shelters are male.

The reasons why men and women are unhoused are complex, but generally, men are not running and hiding from abusive spouses.

And men might find themselves on the street after a mental health concern or an injury.

There is a lot of shame around being unhoused, even for those who eventually find a house.

Many men do not want to share their experiences for fear of being negatively judged, said McKinnon.

“Adding to the problem, men often go into the bushes like a wounded animal and isolate themselves,” McKinnon said.

It is up to men to help fix other men. Women have been doing the heavy lifting for too long, according to Bilson and is one of the driving forces behind a popular social media trend where women are choosing to find a metaphorical bear in the forest rather than date a man.

“It is a very legitimate concern. Because the struggle might be ongoing and permanent, and to be assaulted, to be sexually assaulted, to be abused, to be humiliated, has long-term lifetime impacts.”

It will be a one-time experience, and it’ll probably be done, versus a long time of suffering and trying to recover your self-esteem and sense of self-worth,” Bilson said.

Send Kelp! Documentary explores challenges and potential of starting a kelp farm Marc Kitteringham Black Press Media

Frances Ward gave up everything she’d built in her life to pursue something a bit unconventional: starting a kelp farm.

The new documentary Send Kelp! follows Ward’s journey as she tries to coax the crop from the waters of the Pacific. She speaks to scientists, wild harvesters and other entrepreneurs who also know about the challenges and potential of kelp.

“And along the way, she’ll find a glimmer of the hope that kelp might provide not only for our planet, but for her, too,” the synopsis of the film says.

Shot at various locations across Vancouver Island, the film features many people working in the local kelp industry, shell fishers, kelp producers and farmers, researchers and chefs. Each of them uses kelp in a different way, and the film showcases all of the ways to use the crop.

The film has already had an international showing, with past screenings in Canada,

Send Kelp! is a documentary about kelp farming near Vancouver Island.

The film will be shown in a few different Island communities in June. Photo supplied

California, Belgium, South Korea, Spain and Germany. Next week the film will be brought to an Island audience.

The film shows in Sidney at the Star Cinema on June 9 at 3:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. and features University of Victoria researchers.

Foundation supports local salmon recovery efforts B.C. group sees highest demand ever for salmon stewardship project funding More salmon habitat restoration efforts and expanded educational opportunities are coming to Greater Victoria through new funding ahead of Wild Salmon Day on June 1.

The Pacific Salmon Foundation has provided Greater Victoria with $152,000 for several community-led salmon stewardship projects.

One of the projects benefiting from the funding is the Peninsula Streams Society’s ongoing salmon habitat restoration of the Colquitz River.

The funds will also help the Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary expand its salmon display at the Nature House and grow the site’s educational programs.

The latter will bring together community members of all ages to learn about the salmon anatomy, diet, life cycles and more.

Grants provided through the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s funding will also engage local students with salmon through art and hands-on experiences.

envision and mobilize these projects, and we are particularly humbled by the projects advanced by Indigenous communities, given their deep history and commitment to salmon,” Pacific Salmon Foundation CEO Michael Meneer said in a news release.

The program’s primary funding source comes from the proceeds of a conservation stamp anglers must buy with their saltwater fishing licence.

The province and donors also provide support, but Meneer noted that due to the high demand from local stewardship projects, the foundation saw a funding gap of about $500,000 this year.

He urged the public to support the program as the CEO said salmon need help now more than ever.

B.C. established Wild Salmon Day in 2019 and eight cities, including Victoria, have recognized the June 1 distinction through proclamations this year.

Nathan Cullen, B.C.’s minister responsible for water, mines and resource stewardship, called the Community Salmon Program an exciting model of grassroots action for bringing back wild salmon to streams across the province.

“B.C. is proud to support Indigenous communities and stream keepers in their growing efforts to restore salmon populations and conserve vital habitats through this program,” he said in a release.
