Market proposals due soon Erin Cardone News staff
Just days remain before the request for proposals for the Sidney summer market closes. Proposals are due to the town by 3 p.m. Monday, May 7. With the market’s original organizer, the Sidney Business Association, ousted by the town from managing the event, the popular market’s future remains unclear. “The issue around the market had to do with the process of mediation and the reaction and conduct of the SBA through that process,” Mayor Larry Cross told the News Review on Wednesday. Dozens of comments appeared on the paper’s website in response to the latest developments surrounding the market. The town echoed some of those concerns. Randy Humble, Sidney’s chief administrative officer, confirmed the town has never received an audited financial statement from the SBA, for example. “We did everything by the rules,” SBA president Edward Connor said. Sidney’s mayor and council terminated the SBA’s contract to run the market on April 23, citing a breach of trust. The SBA countered with a letter from their lawyer to the town. “It’s a culmination of things,” Humble said. “I think the town has lost a high level of trust in the SBA to run the market.”

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF
Swerving driver nabbed by cops
Man attacked with shelving
A Central Saanich woman faces possible impaired charges after being nabbed by police on Wallace Drive on Tuesday. Police got a call of a possible impaired driver headed northbound in the 7000 block of Wallace around 8 p.m. Witnesses followed the vehicle that was being driven erratically. When officers stopped the vehicle, they noted a smell of alcohol. After failing a roadside screening, the driver was taken back to the station and impaired driving charges were recommended against her.
A 23-year-old Saanich man faces a charge of assault causing bodily harm after Victoria police say he entered a home and struck a 21-year-old Central Saanich man in the head with a piece of wood Saturday. “The assailant and the victim were known to each other and had been in some form of argument earlier in the evening,” Victoria police spokesperson Mike Tucker said of the attack which happened in the 600 block of Linden Avenue in Fairfield. The suspect was later arrested in Saanich.

New section of pathway at airport gets underway Construction this year on Canora Road section of paved walking/cycling trail Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Backhoes and dump trucks working feverishly along Willingdon Road mark a goal within reach for the Victoria Airport Authority. “It was always our intention to put, in stages, a path around the airport as an amenity for the public,” said Terry Stewart director of marketing and community relations for VAA. “This is just one element of our commitment to the environment.” The separated cycling/pedestrian path along Mills Road, finished a few years ago, was a start of the dream that will be complete next year – a 9.3 kilometre loop around the airport. It’s as simple as being a part of the community, and the environmental plan for the airport. “This section here has always been dangerous,” Stewart said, gesturing to the narrow path inches from the travel lane near the Sidney North Saanich
Little League fields on Canora Road. That section is slated for completion this year. “This is going to be a huge benefit for kids to ride their bikes to the Field of Dreams.” The paved path will be separated for safety of users along the entire route and by the end of next year will connect with both Sidney and the regional Lochside trail once complete. “We want it separated because it’s safer,” said Stewart, who envisions commuters and parents with strollers commingling on the three-metre wide paths. “It’s the community’s airport.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Big names in tennis play during the 2011 Rally for the Kids event at Panorama Recreation Centre. The event to benefit the Power to Be Adventure Therapy Society, is May 9.
Former tennis pro to Rally for Kids Grant Connell on bill for fundraiser at Panorama Erin Cardone News staff
A former tennis pro and world #1 doubles player takes to the court next week to benefit kids with disabilities. Grant Connell, who held the #1 ranking as a doubles player in the early 1990s, will play along with other big names in tennis at the second Rally for the Kids, at Panorama Recreation Centre, Wednesday, May 9. “We are a smaller venue but the thing is … this is something that’s quite out of the ordinary of what we do day to day. We’re very
fortunate we can have a player of Grant’s quality come out,” said Eric Knoester, the racquet sports co-ordinator at Panorama who started the event last year. Grant is at “another level in terms of ability. He was a consummate professional when he was out there to get ready to play. You know what kind of dedication that takes. Former 49th-ranked woman player, Marjorie Blackwood, is returning for the second year, along with former national champion Robert Bettauer and Island talents Roger Skillings, Tracy Frank, Art Hobbs, Ranjan MacArthur, Greg Diemer and Hannes Blum. Like last year, the rally benefits the Power to Be Society, partly because of Knoester’s personal connection to the group.
Two years ago, he took his daughter Hannah, now 17, to Tillicum mall for her ski trip to Mount Washington. Hannah has autism talking about different and exciting activities like skiing opened up communication for the family. A Power to Be van drove Hannah to the mountain. “I thought, in order to do these programs they must have to raise money,” Knoester said. Power to Be takes kids with disabilities or socio-economic barriers on outdoor adventures. In 2011, Rally for the Kids raised $9,500 for Power to Be. This year’s goal is $12,000 to $13,000. “Of course the whole tennis community and community as a whole got on board with the event last year,”
Knoester said. “This year’s been really easy in terms of ticket sales because of what happened last year.” The rally offers twice as many silent auction items as last year. “We are able to accomplish more with the things that happened with last year’s event. It opened a lot of doors for us, [like] Power to Be opens doors for the kids. There’s a parallel there.” editor@peninsulanews review.com

OUR VIEW
Civil forfeiture muddies message A message needs to be sent that it is not OK to drive so dangerously that you create a very real risk to the lives of innocent people. And it’s morally indefensible to celebrate such an act of stupidity by posting a video of it to the Internet. But the punishment must fit the crime. We can all agree that the motorcyclist who on April 6 video-recorded himself or herself travelling at speeds of 300 km/h down a busy highway showed the judgement of a moron. However, no matter how emphatic that point needs to be made, confiscating the bike and selling it to raise revenue for the government is the wrong thing to do in this case. Unable to arrest the young man suspected of riding the bike in the video, the police have turned to the Civil Forfeiture Act to try and punish the perpetrator and, perhaps, turn the incident into a teachable moment. Don’t try this at home or we’ll take your wheels – a similar campaign has been waged against the dangers of street racing in recent years. The difference is that the public has not heard enough evidence to merit having the police take away the personal property of an Esquimalt mom (her son is believed to be the rider in the video). Police have every right to seize the bike in case it can be used to actually press charges. Dangerous driving is a serious offence punishable by jail time. If that can’t be proved unless the rider confesses, we understand why police would want to send a message that you can’t commit such a high-profile crime and get away scot-free. But rather than attempting civil forfeiture, which is more justly applied to the proceeds of criminal activity, the police could better serve their public by ensuring this rider, and other potential daredevils, learn about the very real consequences of very bad decisions. Driving at speeds shown in the video create a probability of massive injuries and possibly death to the rider, as well as the dozens of innocent people sharing the road. That is the message that must be imparted. After all, the goal is to keep young drivers from taking exceptional risks not merely to keep them from posting to YouTube after they do. What do you think?

Heroism resonates with Hansen hero – 1. a person distinguished by courage, noble deeds, outstanding accomplishments, etc. (i.e. Terry Fox became a national hero) - source, Canadian Oxford dictionary

Hansen was in Greater Victoria this week, as part of his Rick Hansen Relay cross-Canada tour. While some of the folks who received his special Difference Maker awards in Victoria, Esquimalt and Oak Bay weren’t born at the time of the original Man in Motion, all were no doubt thrilled to be recognized by someone whose light shines in the same way Terry Fox’s did three decades ago. Hansen, never known to turn down an interview or an opportunity to give an autograph to someone who he thinks it might make a difference for, is the ultimate diplomat for what it means to be Canadian, and what it means to overcome a potentially devastating disability. He understands, at 54, that his role has changed from those days when his ripped upper body pounded through kilometre after kilometre. As a man who exudes grace and class as he extends his hands to help, he is definitely a good example of a true Canadian hero. Don Descoteau is the editor of the Victoria News. editor@vicnews.com

LETTERS Readers respond: May carries good dialogue with her constituents Re: Gary Lunn nostalgia strikes PNR reader (Letters, March 30) I’d like to weigh in on the letter debate. There has been no debate. I know from my own experience that if you have an issue to discuss with our Green MP that she will respond personally to emails. If a constituent has a serious issue to resolve the last resort would be name calling in the newspaper. The debate has merely succeeded, as the old saying goes, in removing all doubt in the case of the letter writer. What else has been accomplished here? Brian Trotto Central Saanich
Green take on politics refreshing for Peninsula Re: Gary Lunn nostalgia strikes PNR reader (Letters, March 30) I think this community rallied behind MP Elizabeth May because she brings a fresh Green perspective to Canadian politics. Her enthusiastic, creative mind has the capacity to re-imagine politics and opportunities that are more aligned to positive human and environmental outcomes. What she offers my children is hope that politicians can be willing to fundamentally change the course we’re presently on. She’s spent her first year setting priorities, promoting good conduct, encouraging a more sustainable approach to planning and we all know May has no problem understanding budget implications. Many of us were less than impressed with the use of public funds for the ridiculous oversized McTavish Road interchange. It was a classic example of cronyism. We need to question the wisdom of taking on national debt for projects of this nature. If Mike Houle, with his expertise in alternative service delivery and public private projects, engaged with Elizabeth May he’d likely find, as I have, her ability to grasp good ideas with ease and he might even find that she is an ally in Ottawa who promotes innovative investments for our community. Heather Goulet North Saanich
Central Saanich mayor’s Co-op comments don’t jibe with his vote Re: CRD, Central Saanich head for arbitration (News, March 30) The article contained the following quote from the mayor of Central Saanich regarding his attendance at CRD meetings on the Co-op West Saanich Road development proposal: “There are different representative roles here. I advocated for the council’s position.” From his statement one might easily conclude that the mayor’s personal opinion differed from that of the majority of council. However, the minutes currently on the Central Saanich website for the Central Saanich Planning and Development Committee meeting of March 26 where it was decided to send the matter to binding arbitration, show that the mayor voted in favour of doing so along with the majority of council. Thus, it would seem that there is no difference between the mayor’s personal opinion on the matter and council’s. The posted record of the meeting shows he is in favour of giving the Co-op proposal another chance for approval. Furthermore, I find it peculiar that the
municipality is picking up some of the costs of binding arbitration that could be of the order of a few thousand dollars. The mayor voted in favour of having the municipality pay these costs. Should these expenses not be borne by the applicant? Fred Peet Brentwood Bay
Juno bid puts limited municipal money in the wrong place The eagerness of Victoria area councils to shovel money out to promoters of a TV show instead of properly funding policing illustrates the irresponsibility of municipal politicians. People will live without a TV show. But a motorcycle rider allegedly run down by a dangerous driver, and another motorcyclist smashed by an alleged drunk driver, did not live. I suggest voters phone their municipal councillors and explain life and death to them. Keith Sketchley Saanich
B.C. Liberals, Harper Conservatives have a lot in common Recent events demonstrate how far the Harper Conservative government is willing to go to win elections, stifle dissent and force through its hard right agenda. The findings of the federal Auditor General – that the Harper government misled parliament about the true costs of the war planes it is so determined to purchase – are an eerie reminder of provincial Liberal deception in imposing the HST, selling off B.C. Rail, and illegally stripping Charter-protected collective bargaining rights. British Columbians should also be concerned about a provincial Liberal government that is silent on Conservative plans to ship tar sands oil from our pristine north coast, weaken fisheries and other environmental legislation and shred the social safety net. We need a provincial government that will act in the public interest, not just for corporate profit; that will reinstate social justice and sustainability as core objectives in public policy; and will defend the interests of its citizens in the face of the ideologically driven Conservatives. The alternative is a provincial Liberal government that will simply reinforce the Harper agenda. Gary Holman provincial NDP candidate, Saanich North and the Islands

Teachers deserve appreciation day Re: Teacher appreciation needs re-think (Letters April 18) As an active member of my children’s elementary school PAC, I felt this year our staff appreciation day was more important than ever. Our school is a community for our family and the teachers that my children spend six hours each weekday with are important people in their lives. We are very fortunate that at our school the teachers, administrators and PAC are a supportive team, and the children benefit greatly. I volunteer to help whenever I can because I feel it sets a good example for my children. In my opinion, the teachers have taken the only action that they are legally allowed to take and what they are asking for is truly in the best interests of our children. It is up to us parents to speak up on behalf of our teammates. I do agree that every deserving person should get an appreciation day. Jennifer Langard North Saanich
No need to thank teachers for cancelling programs Re: Teacher appreciation needs re-think (Letters April 18) Kudos for Mike Barwick for voicing his opinion on our Teacher Appreciation Day this year. This is an opinion which I believe is shared
by the silent majority once again. After having all extracurricular activities cancelled in our school, after walking off the job for two days last month, after carrying placards around in our neighbourhood outside our school in February – why should our kids then turn around and write a poem about how thankful they are for their teachers? I think all fair minded staff at our school would feel a little uncomfortable accepting these gifts from the same children who have been largely overlooked and have had school activities cancelled on them, through no fault of their own. As a PAC supported event, it troubles me that parents weren’t consulted before this occurred. Celebrate if you must, but after such a year as we have had, please don’t ask the parents for your help. We’re already dealing with disappointed kids who can’t run cross-country or attend their dance club anymore. Furthermore, I fully agree with the writer that we should re-evaluate why teachers get an appreciation day for doing their job. We expect our bus drivers, doctors and electrician to do theirs, or we get upset when they don’t. Why is it that we continue to celebrate our teachers when they’re not doing theirs?

That includes an “inappropriate” presentation to Sidney council April 10 with an “ultimatum” on the market’s layout, Humble said. The SBA’s lawyer, L. John Alexander, recommended the business association proceed with running the 2012 market in the same capacity as had in 2011, in a letter to the town dated April 29. Connor said that, partly with the changes to the market and others’ renewed plans to form a business improvement association, he believes the SBA is being pushed into the shadows.

Province might seize infamous motorcycle A Yamaha R1 motorcycle that garnered national attention last month when it was seen in an online video speeding from Saanich to Langford at 300 km/h could soon be in the hands of the provincial government. Saanich police have yet to charge the man they believe recorded himself riding the bike and posted the video to YouTube. On April 19, police issued $1,449 worth of tickets to the registered owner of the bike (the suspected driver’s mother) and they are now seeking to have the motorcycle permanently seized under the Civil Forfeiture Act. “At this point in time, that is the most

we can do,” Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said. A notice of intent to forfeit was published this week. It reads that the bike was seized because “there was evidence [the motorcycle] would afford evidence in respect to” multiple driving offences, including driving without due care and excessive speeding. The bike will be forfeited to the Civil Forfeiture Office in two months unless a notice of dispute is filed. Proceeds from civil forfeitures are used to compensate victims and support local crime prevention and remediation efforts, according to the Ministry of Justice. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Proven formulas for those fed-up with the rat race
How Average Canadians Are Creating and Protecting Their Wealth...
Do you believe one person has the same chance of being wealthy as the next? Or do you honestly think that most people who end up rich, got that way because of special circumstances?
waiting for things to “turn around”.
My name is Darren Weeks and I know from the bottom of my heart that everyone has the same chance. I am an average Joe. I grew up in a middle class family. I had no special breaks, and didn’t know any famous people who gave me my start. I definitely didn’t win any lottery.
One of my star students was a tradesperson who was fed up with trying to make ends meet every month. Rob Chaulk was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He also dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business.
But I have done very well for my age... ...and I have shown thousands of Canadians how to copy my formula for financial independence. My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 12 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have

But he didn’t become financially independent until he mastered the money game. I was fortunate enough to be the one who showed him how. He has quit the trades, and now owns multiple businesses and has millions of dollars in cash-flow-positive real estate properties. One simple shift in the way he thought about money, a solid action plan to move forward, and he now never again needs to worry about money or paying bills.
I immersed myself in the “Rich Dad” philosophies, and ultimately worked directly with Robert Kiyosaki to teach Canadian’s these same philosophies and how to take control of their financial future. I began investing in real estate. I started up businesses that supported my new money mindset. I tried to find others in Canada who I could talk to about this drive I had.

...turbulent times like this are where most of the wealthiest 1% made their biggest gains.
I personally grew up in a middle class family with no special advantages or opportunities. The difference for me though was a significant desire to be and have more. It wasn’t about all the fancy toys... for me it was about putting an end to the time for money trap I saw everyone else falling for. It was about seeing more of the world. It was about raising a young family in an environment that was positive about money, and the opportunities abound that created more money for those with initiative.

The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million. On top of providing FREE financial education to all Canadians, my company is able to offer better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies. All this growth has put me in the spotlight – I’m a contributor for Canadian Real Estate Magazine and made countless TV appearances on stations such as BNN, CTV and City TV. It’s been a heck of a ride. Now it’s time to teach you how I did it, and how you can do it too! My greatest pride in all of this? Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding and thriving in the current economy. They didn’t listen to the masses and lock themselves up in a dark basement, while
It was difficult to find people who thought about money like I did... Don’t get me wrong, there were lots of successful Canadians out there, but I found it difficult to get them to sit with me and talk one-on-one about their own strategies for wealth creation. So I sought out those who wanted greater wealth in their own life. Then I systematized what I had personally done to create wealth, and shared it with them for their own personal use. Those who had the drive to follow my system, ended up making millions. They became friends. They became peers. They became my inner circle mastermind partners. And they encouraged me to take my system bigger and share it with more people in Canada. So I did. I have spoken to thousands of people from every corner of our great country. I shared with them my formula for creating wealth, starting from nothing, or starting with a solid base. My system worked for those who applied it. I travelled far too much and started to burn myself out. I stopped traveling and started leveraging. I built a team of 100 of the most passionate
people in the country. They helped me get my message out to those who wanted out of the rat race. We pulled in our best students and success stories, and had them share their own examples on the road. The best part? My STAR student will pass on the knowledge to you. The formula that I taught continued to work for others who I had never personally taught. My system worked for anyone who understood it and applied it, whether or not I taught it to them directly or through my students. Is it your turn to master the money mindset? ...Most people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life. My company has organized an event coming up in your city and we would like you to join us. There is no cost to attend, but you do need to commit to being there. My team is here to make sure you get the tools you need for creating the independence you crave.
Each one of my wealthiest students and clients started off at a free event just like this. They heard about an event just like this put on by my company. They attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. Each of them is now financially independent and able to live life on their own terms. What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.BCFastTrack.ca and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well. Last? Don’t let anyone discourage you or get in your way. Real independence starts when you learn to ignore all the negative people in your life who don’t want you to succeed. Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action.

A new airline service plans to fly passengers to some harder-to-reach areas of the Island. NorthStar Air hopes to begin flights, starting June 1, from Victoria International Airport to destinations such as the northern end of the West Coast Trail in Bamfield, as well as Tofino – subject to government approval. It also hopes to land in Whistler and Squamish at a later date. It would offer scheduled service on two aircraft, called BN Islanders. NorthStar air would operate a nine-passenger aircraft with cargo space, for tourism, business and industry, such as charter flights for forestry, mining and fishing operations. It can land on short, unimproved runway strips, such as Bamfield’s, according to NorthStar. The website will be equipped to take online bookings, the company said and flights will operate year-round. The website, www.northstarairtours.com, offers flights from Victoria to Bamfield for $99 and to Tofino for $119. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Dillon Morrison tears down the trail at Cumberland to finish first in the beginner division.
Trails blaze career path Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
At five, Dillon Morrison couldn’t fathom ever riding his bike. He recalls the arguments with his mom, throwing down his blue bike with a “I can’t do this. I won’t.” Nine years later he’s singing a different tune. “I just go out on my bike and it takes my mind away. I have to think about what I’m doing,” he said. “Now I can’t keep him off the bike,” adds mom Monica. Morrison, 14, won the Island Cup series downhill mountain bike race in Cumberland the weekend of April 21-22. He won the beginner division with a time of two minutes, 24 seconds. The North Saanich middle school student discovered the sport a couple years ago after joining the mountain bike club in Grade 6. He quickly progressed from the school group rides and now hurtles down mountainside trails tackling tree roots, rock gardens and jumps in pursuit of
Dillon Morrison the fastest time. “I prefer the technical stuff on the trails. I like hitting the rough
stuff,” he said. Last year he started taking it seriously. This year he found a sponsor – Marty’s Mountain cycle in Esquimalt – for his first year in the circuit. He plans to enter the four remaining B.C. Cup competitions this year, including one in Port Alberni this weekend. The cracked collarbone, nearly broken jaw and multiple stitches he’s earned over the past couple years haven’t diluted his passion for the sport. “Everyone’s so chill and calm, even though it’s so focused,” he said. “It’s more like a lifestyle.” Mentoring with athletes like pro rider Dean Tennant, he can see a career ahead. “I’d like to be up in the World Cup standings,” he said. “It doesn’t seem like a bad lifestyle, but you have to be in the top 10.” Learn more about downhill mountain biking on the Island at vimb.com. To see some great videos of the sport Dillon recommends www.pinkbike.com. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
Rower Obee out of 2012 Olympics An Olympic future seems certain for up-andcoming Victoria rower Patricia Obee, though she might have to wait a little longer. Despite winning the 2011 World Cup in lightweight women’s double last year, 20-year-old Obee slipped to Canada’s third choice for the 2012 Olympics. Last week, Stelly’s grad Obee raced head-tohead against 37-year-old Tracy Cameron in single sculls at Elk Lake, with Cameron taking the race and second-spot in Canada’s lightweight double for the London Games. Lindsay Jennerich, 29, was
previously selected for the boat. It’s a comeback for Cameron, who relocated to Victoria be part of the rowing centre at Elk Lake. Cameron and Jennerich won gold at the 2010 world rowing championships, but Cameron was injured for last year’s worlds. That’s when Obee paired with Jennerich and won silver. Though it qualified the boat for the 2012 Olympics, the selection process for rowers is left until much closer to the Olympics, which begin July 27. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

A blockbuster line-up is ahead for the Victoria Symphony. Beginning her 10th season as music director of the Victoria Symphony, maestra Tania Miller unveiled the schedule for the symphony’s 72nd season, which includes singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk and Grammy Award winning violinist James Ehnes. For the first time in its history the Victoria Symphony will perform Bartok’s Miraculous Mandarin and Nielsen’s Symphony No. 5. The VS Pops Series will feature Cirque de la Symphonie, the Beatles: Sergeant Pepper, and in tribute to the retirement of principal pops conductor Brian Jackson, the Best of Brian Jackson. Leading off the announcements, Miller said it was hard to believe the new season would be her 10th as music director. When she joined the symphony in 2003, she was not only the youngest music director of a major orchestra in Canada at age 33, but she was also the only female music director. Her contributions to the Victoria Symphony have included innovative programming, significant orchestra changes and increased music education programs.

and revolutionary figures in musical history – John Cage. Subscription packages and season brochures are available through the Victoria Symphony box office at 250-385-6515. llavin@vicnews.com

NEWS REVIEW
Tent city in works for Woodwynn Farms ALC denies application to house 120 homeless on Central Saanich farm Roszan Holmen News staff
Within weeks, Richard Leblanc of Woodwynn Farms will begin recruiting people from Victoria’s homeless community to start a new chapter in their life, working on an organic farm and sleeping in tents on his farm in Central Saanich. Campsites are a far cry from the housing he hoped to build, but Leblanc calls it an interim step in his Creating Homefulness Society’s vision. Two weeks ago, the Agricultural Land Richard Leblanc Commission rejected the society’s application to build housing for 120 people on the farm on one per cent of the land. According to its decision released April 21, the commission does not believe housing needs to be located within the Agricultural Land Reserve, given the proximity of land outside the reserve. “The commission is approached by similar organizations with varying degrees of agriculture as part of their programming on a regular basis and is very wary of permitting this type of institutional use within

A 2008 photo of Woodwynn Farms in Central Saanich where tents could go up as the Creating Homefulness Society seeks to bring in homeless people to start a new life on the farm. the ALR,” the decision reads. On Tuesday night, the Creating Homefulness Society board met to regroup. “This is a major disappointment,” said Leblanc, the society’s executive director. The board, however, is “undaunted,” he said. The farm is zoned for approximately 10 campsites. That means Leblanc can still create a community on the farm – it just won’t be as comfortable. “We’re going to bring on some PortaPottys and a fire pit,” he said. Eventually, Leblanc plans to submit a new application to the commission.
As well as housing, his proposal included repurposing 16 structures on the farm into a processing plant to make jams and jellies, a café and offices. The society’s goal is to diversify the farm’s products to decrease its dependence on government grants and to teach a variety of skills, including farming, service and administrative. The board’s change in course also has repercussions for Leblanc himself. For the past 80 nights, Leblanc slept in a van downtown as part of a campaign. He’d committed to living that way until 2,012 people wrote letters of support and
the same number donated 99 cents a day to the cause. “It’s forcing me to shift gears,” he said. “If we’re having far more activity on the land, then I need to shift my attentions and energies and time back to Woodwynn.” While looking forward to returning to a warm, soft bed and a shower, Leblanc said, “I’m disappointed that we didn’t bring it to the end we originally hoped.” At the same time, he said, dialogue in the community about Woodwynn “went through the roof.” rholmen@vicnews.com
