Consultant interviews to be public North Saanich council agrees to make housing consultant meetings public; will pay more for consultation program Steven Heywood News staff

North Saanich is okay with more than doubling the cost of their housing strategy consultation program, but less so with the frequency of private meetings being conducted in the process. District council unanimously approved on Jan. 14 a request from consultant Ed Grafone to up his consulting fee from $18,600, to $38,500. Grafone, of CTQ Consultants Ltd. out of Kelowna, had made the request to revise the budget on Dec. 20, 2012 (and updated Jan. 7, 2013), citing the addition of a second public open house and an increase in the demand for one-on-one interviews. Council awarded CTQ the consulting job last year and had Grafone present his consultation program on Dec. 10. The original terms of reference for the community consultative process Ted Daly were presented to council on Sept. 17, 2012. In a Jan. 8, 2013 staff report, the consultant had told staff that a large amount of public and political interest in the housing issue “will require expanded communications, preparation for meetings and additional work.” At its committee of the whole meeting Jan. 14, council and residents in the audience questioned the need for one-on-one interviews, with some calling on them to be made public.

Lives turned upside down after diagnosis The family of Cassidy Boland, 11, reaches out to the community for help Devon MacKenzie News staff

A local family is reaching out to the public after their world was turned upside-down this winter. In November Cassidy Boland’s mother, Omdrea Walker, noticed the 11-year-old was less energetic than usual and was less motivated in her daily routines. “It was quite sudden really,” said Walker. “We had noticed her being tired for a few weeks and she’s normally very active. She participates in all kinds of activities so when she no longer had the energy it was quite noticeable.” Walker also noted that the family started receiving reports from school that Cassidy was less energetic than usual. The 11-year-old, who has Down Syndrome, is involved in sports and other activities through school and her education assistant began to notice her lacking energy day-to-day. “It just wasn’t like her, it felt like something was wrong. We had a lot of trouble getting her up and one day she just wouldn’t get out of bed.” Soon after Cassidy’s drop in energy became evident, Walker took her daughter to the doctor who ordered blood work to be done the same afternoon. Around 10 p.m. that night the family received a phone call that would change their lives. “The lab told us they suspected it was leukemia and by the next morning we were on our way to Children’s Hospital in Vancouver,” Walker explained. “It was confirmed the next day she had A.L.L. (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia).” Walker said the family was in shock after the diagnosis. “We honestly hadn’t even considered leukemia even though we knew it was more probable in children with Down Syndrome,” she said. “We were in complete shock because she didn’t have many of the symptoms you normally see.” The family, including Cassidy, mother Omdrea, sisters Sierra and Shayenne and stepfather, Michael,

They only just returned home two weeks ago. Upon their arrival at their mobile home in Saanichton, the family found something unexpected. “When we were finally able to come home two weeks ago it was only because Cassidy’s cell counts were high enough for the hospital to be comfortable with discharging her. We were excited to be able to come home and be together as a family in our own home finally but we were shocked with what we found,” explained Walker. The shock came in the form of a slow leak that had finally made it’s way into the family’s unoccupied home. While the family was in Vancouver seeking treat-

ment for Cassidy, their home had become not only wet and moldy, but rodents had also made their way in, Walker believes, through the ducting in the home. “As soon as we walked in the door we were shocked by the smell,” said Walker. “It was so bad, all we knew is that we had to get out because Cassidy can’t be around mold or anything like that. She has to wear a mask just to be out in public.” After a few nights at a hotel and with friends, the family was taken in by Jeneece Place for a weekend. Over the two days, Walker and her husband were able to go back to their home to investigate the situation further. “It was clear we weren’t going to be able to stay there once we’d had a good look around,” said Walker.

“What we thought was going to be wonderful, warm homecoming after being away for six weeks turned into something completely different. Now we’re faced with a huge amount of repair and remediation that needs to be done.” Walker works as a Grade 9 teacher at Arbutus Middle School and her husband is currently off work with chronic pain. “Apart from taking time off work to be with Cassidy we now have to save enough to get the roof redone, any of the structural and water damage that’s been done and we have to have air remediation done,” Walker explained. The family is putting out a public plea to anyone who may be able to help them. “The most important thing is having an interim home-base while

we’re in Victoria,” said Walker, who added that some of Cassidy’s chemotherapy can be done at Victoria General, that way her other children can stay in school and with the family. “If we had a home base in Victoria it would mean we could all be together and that would mean so much for Cassidy.” If you are interested in making a donation to Cassidy, donations can be taken at any TD Canada Trust Bank in the Greater Victoria area by requesting a deposit to the Cassidy Boland trust fund or by using the branch number, 0753 (Broadmead), and the account number, 6292677. Cheques can be made payable to Laurie-Anne Keith and Colleen Fulmore and in the memo, specify the donation is in trust for Cassidy Boland. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Residents want the process to be open Continued from page 1

Councillor Ted Daly said he was concerned with the meetings, mostly with their use of the consultant’s time. “I expect that the consultant will tell people there are no more opportunities for such meetings, as the budget has to be adhered to,” Daly said. Mayor Alice Finall agreed, adding it will be up to Grafone to use his discretion on the number and type of meetings and should seek a balance. During a public question period on the matter, resident Springfield Harrison said he objects to the one-on-one meetings. “I want them ended and I want them made public,” he said. Resident David Olsen agreed, saying they should be made public. Coun. Elsie McMurphy recommended that lists of stakeholders being interviewed, as well as a list of people in the one-on-ones with Grafone — called “key informants” by staff — be made public. Director of planning and community services Mark Brodrick noted that such interviews are common in consultation and the lists of groups and individuals are, in part, being generated by staff as well. McMurphy asked that council support putting this information on the district’s website and they agreed, with Coun. Craig Mearns, the lone dissenter. Grafone was hired to take the district and its residents through a consultation on a potential update to the municipality’s housing planning policy. There are plans now for two public open houses, two focus group meetings and two neighbourhood meetings. The plan is to draft a report on a “new planning policy regarding higher density housing in North Saanich.” Brodrick noted that the consultant will be giving people an overview of the current issues and process in the district. Coun. Dunstan Browne added part of Grafone’s job will be to assist with any changes to the district’s strategic plan and with any impacts on Capital Regional District policies. Harrison added issues he and a concerned citizens group, at odds with increased development expressed over the process back in Decem-

The question of developing higher density housing in the District of North Saanich goes to the public for feedback for the first time on Tuesday, Jan. 29. This is the initial public step in the district’s housing strategy community consultation process. The open house will be held at the Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian Church between 4 and 8 p.m. There are further plans for neighbourhood meetings, focus groups and another open house, before a consultant prepared a final draft report for council. Dates and times for those meetings have not yet been announced, but are expected in February and March. • The focus groups, according the the district, include one for industry (developers/ realtors), the Victoria Airport Authority and the chamber of commerce. Another focus group will include employees, prospective buyers and renters. • Two neighbourhood meeting are planned for residents in areas where higher densities are being proposed: the Southeast Quadrant and McDonald Park Road. All community residents are encouraged to attend these neighbourhood meetings. ber regarding bias and stakeholder groups, have so far been unheeded. “I’m concerned with just who are these forces groups,” added resident Jack Thorneberg. “I wonder if they represent a broad spectrum of the community.” Daly said people shouldn’t secondguess the consultant’s expertise. “We’re starting to really pick this poor guy apart,” he said, “and he isn’t even done yet.” Finall agreed, noting that she hopes all of council will be at the open houses as well. The first public open house is slated for Tuesday, Jan. 29, 4 to 8 p.m. at the Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian Church, 9295 East Saanich Rd.

Shoreline updated COUNCIL NEWS District of North Saanich - Jan. 14, 2013 Steven Heywood News staff

• At its Jan. 14 committee of the whole meetings, North Saanich district council received a report on a shoreline mapping project. District GIS technician Shawn Munro and co-op student Steven Hunter outlined their work to update the boundaries of shoreline in the municipality. North Saanich, they said has 40 km of shoreline and 800 residences that have waterfront. The project compared legal plans with existing mapping information, to correct any anomolies. The project, said Munro, will help show landowners and planners the exact shoreline and give some properties specific addresses to ensure better emergency service response. • District of North Saanich council has voted to not undertake a rabbit control program. They had been asked to do so by residents along Green Park Drive who are concerned with the numbers of rabbits in the area. The district will instead post information, discouraging the keeping of pet rabbits and what property owners can do to control rabbits. • Mayor Alice Finall publicly thanked John Enright for his long service with the district’s Parks Commission. The Parks Commission officially recognized the efforts of Enright at their Dec. 4, 2012 meeting. • Mayor Finall will present a heritage plaque to the council of St. John’s United Church on West Saanich Road on Wednesday, Jan. 23. • District of North Saanich council was scheduled to have their regular meeting on Jan. 21.

Thirty-six of the 44 dogs seized from a Brentwood Bay home on January 9 are being put up for adoption. The B.C. SPCA seized 45 poodle-bichon frise cross dogs from the home (including one that was dead) after they became concerned for their welfare. The owner of the property had been hoarding the dogs and irregularly breeding them, according to the SPCA. “There were so many dogs in there that there was no way the man could have taken care of them,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the B.C. SPCA. She noted on Jan. 10 that the agency had to act as the situB.C. SPCA photo ation met the definition of distress under Some of the small dogs the animal cruelty now up for adoption act. Chortyk said the after being seized from SPCA had concerns a Brentwood Bay home. about the owner and had met with him before, with limited success in getting him to give up some of the dogs to a local rescue group or to other homes. She said at the time that the man had 14 days to apply for custody of the dogs, which are being taken care of at the SPCA’s Victoria branch. On Jan. 17, the SPCA announced the man had signed over custody of 36 of the dogs to the agency, which is now seeking new homes for 27 adult dogs and nine puppies. Custody of the eight remaining dogs is in a legal process. Chortyk said the investigation is ongoing and since no formal charges have been recommended, the man is not being named. Adoption application forms are available online at spca.bc.ca/adopt. They can be emailed to the Victoria SPCA Branch at Victoria@spca.bc.ca or dropped off at the shelter at 3150 Napier Lane, Victoria. The branch will review the applications and will call to set up appointments with potential adopters next week, once all the dogs have been spayed and neutered.

School District 63 hopes to reinstate a teacher suspended before the Christmas break after showing his Grade 4 class at Brentwood Elementary School a sexually-suggestive video. The teacher, Joe Winkler, was put on paid leave by the Saanich school district after superintendent Dr. Keven Elder deemed the content of the video inappropriate in regard to its content, curriculum expectations and whether it was age-appropriate. This week, Elder said a review of the case is ongoing and much of its outcome is a personnel matter and will not be made public. That said, he added the goal all along was to reinstate Winkler. To do that, Elder said the district is meeting with the teacher, parents and students to work towards a positive return to class. The video in question showed men dressed as women and another man in a Speedo-style bathing suit, lip-synching to music on a beach. It’s a four-minute clip and Elder said the teacher has stated it was shown to introduce the students to transgender issues. The class is being taught by a replacement teacher during the review. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

TRCE

January 17 marked the official launch of the Town of Sidney’s Glow As You Go effort but, unofficially, some of the campaign’s free reflective armbands were being handed out to people a couple of days early. Town councillor Kenny Podmore spearheaded the effort to try to make Saanich Peninsula pedestrians more visible at night to drivers. He said he jumped on board the idea after a few serious vehicle-pedestrian collisions elsewhere in the region in the past few weeks. With support from mayor Larry Cross and town chief administrative officer Randy Humble, Podmore said he approached ICBC, Slegg Lumber and the Sidney North Saanich RCMP for assistance. That effort managed to secure 950 reflective armbands to give away free to anyone who asks for one.

Most recently, said Podmore during the launch, ICBC came up with more funding to allow for the purchase of additional armbands. Staff Sergeant Dennis O’Gorman of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP said any effort to help make the streets safer at night - or at any time - for pedestrians is a good one. “We’re hoping this contributes to less accidents,” he said, noting that the RCMP’s contribution was paid for by money allocated to the detachment through the local municipalities. When Podmore came to him, O’Gorman said he went through the last three years’ of statistics for Sidney proper. “We’re averaging about five related pedestrian-involved incidents per year,” he said.

OUR VIEW

Positive signs from a council There appears to be hope yet for a better working environment among the municipal councillors of the District of North Saanich. Late last year, the council began mediation sessions between themselves and the district’s senior staff, after not being able to communicate well. That’s putting it mildly. The acrimony between councillors It’s also a good was very noticeable and contributed sign that the to meetings that council was were longer than necessary as the willing to listen politicians engaged in circular arguments and sniped at each other and at staff. They finally opted to bring in a mediator to help them better communicate with each other and get on with the community’s business. It was hoped that 2013 would bring better conditions around the council table and their recent committee of the whole meeting proved that there’s hope. Committee meetings are generally seen as less formal sessions, so perhaps that helped, but the debate, overall, remained civil — even when the parties disagreed on specific issues. A good sign. It’s also a good sign that the council was willing to listen to their residents and voted to make public ongoing interview material from their consultant on the housing policy review. At this early stage, it shows council is willing to listen and, while not giving in to one side or the other, show the ability to be transparent. This can only benefit their ongoing community consultation process. Certainly, no one side in that debate will entirely get their way. The best outcome for this council is to continue lively, civil debate and ensure their residents — not council itself — get the attention they need. What do you think?

LETTERS Engage a community with a real conversation I was going to ignore Mr. Upward’s first letter attacking me, but I can’t ignore his second. Despite accusing me of distorting facts, Mr. Upward (a developer) fails to point out where I do so. I stand by my assertions: development increases taxes; the proposed developments are departures from the OCP, the Regional Growth Strategy and the Regional Context Statement; and North Sanich residents should be consulted before changes are made to them. Furthermore, it’s questionable whether advancing developments, as our council is doing, before even consulting residents, is conducive to genuine, openminded consultation. What I really want to address now is this trend I’m noticing among those who seem to have no problem with advancing projects that go against our OCP. It seems if anyone questions the process by which this is being done, we are immediately labeled backward-

Readers respond: Lawful protests important On Jan. 15, 2013 I did an interview with Tess Van Stratten that aired on the 5 p.m. CHEK News regarding the Idle No More blockade planned for the Pat Bay Highway. Unfortunately, the way Ms. Van Stratten led into my interview she said I felt a blockade was “absolutely necessary.” Those were her words. I do not believe blockades are “absolutely necessary.” My point in the interview was that Canadians who feel their voices are muted have the democratic freedom of peaceful assembly. Lawful protests are an important part of our society and many important social changes that we celebrate today have happened, in part, due to people exercising this right. Adam Olsen, Green Party of B.C. Nominee, Saanich North & the Islands Central Saanich

We are for the status quo Re: “Spirit of goodwill needed on Peninsula” and “Questionable facts,” PNR Jan. 16. Barbara Nedzelski is right. We need more goodwill and less angry, scornful

looking, anti-development and NIMBYs. It’s assumed that those who are not immediately “for” something, are automatically “against” it. Those of us who ask for a measured and well-thought-out plan that consults the people who will have to live with it and pay for it are dismissed out of hand. So let’s drop the name-calling and personal attacks and actually engage as a community in a real conversation that looks at demonstrable facts. What we need is a climate where intellectual rigour and accountability are valued, where our decisions are based on data and facts, where housing that’s ostensibly intended for a certain group is actually affordable for that group, where the majority of stakeholders are actually consulted and genuinely listened to early in the process, and where those of us who ask the necessary questions that should be asked, inside or outside the council chambers, are not

attacked or ridiculed. If Mr. Upward were listening, he would know that I am on the record as being pro-process, and not antidevelopment. He and Ms. Eaton also claim I am afraid that the coming generation wants inclusion in the future of North Saanich. Nonsense! Since they are my neighbours, they well know that I have two children entering their 20s. I’ve spent hundreds of volunteer hours working with children and youth. It’s precisely for the coming generations that I feel compelled to speak out for a long-term vision, not short-sighted projects that are being fast-tracked through Council. If that’s the Norman Rockwell postcard that Mr. Upward pokes fun at, then I’m all for it. Mr. Upward’s reality is far bleaker. Bernadette Greene North Saanich

Idle No More, North Saanich development, food bank donations

rhetoric as in John Upward and Nancy Eaton’s letter, “the coming generation will be shaking up the status quo,” and by the majority at North Saanich council meetings. Barbara calls for careful planning which is what we do not have in North Saanich, as witness the current high density housing debacle. Her call for more families to move to here highlights the planning issue and the risks involved. When a great number of people move a rural idyll, they may actually destroy the paradise they seek. That’s why small island nations with benign climates and lifestyles, such as Bermuda and the U.K. Channel Islands severely restrict the number of incomers. More people in North Saanich will mean planning for more employment, more electrical consumption, more roads, parking, police, doctors, emergency services, hospitals, public transport, drainage, water supply, sewers, and so on. None of this gets thought through and already the population forecasts for the CRD are alarming. I don’t think I’d want to be here in 50 years’ time. The poet Philip Larkin wrote: And that will be England gone, The shadows, the meadows, the lanes, The guildhalls, the carved choirs.

There’ll be books; it will linger on in galleries; but all that remains for us will be concrete and tyres. That could be the peninsula; so if the status quo means preserving something that is livable and sustainable, then we are for the status quo. David and Jane Olsen North Saanich

Invest in people’s futures I hope Fred Langford enjoys eating popcorn in his warm new seat he helped pay for at the Sidney movie theatre. I’m sure he asked the theatre to account for every penny they received from the community like he requires the food bank to do. I was shocked to see Fred attack the food bank and use as his example a person smoking and asking for money on the streets of Sidney as the reason to give money to a movie theatre. I see that the Sidney theatre has lowered their monetary goal. You should ask them why they asked for more than they needed since your demanding the food bank account for how they use their donations before you will consider them. I am truly sorry the food bank got drawn into this. Helping people is a big investment in the future in my opinion.

You win some, you lose some in the garden and the house

I

wonder if you can imagine my mingled delight and horror when I found a sprouted begonia tuber growing in the dark, in my utility room. The sprout is about four inches tall and a rather peaked looking. So why has the silly thing decided it’s time for it to get growing? It is now on a table by a window and soon will take on some strength but there is a long wait

before it can be put outside. I’ll keep it as cool as possible before it can go outdoors and bloom. I’ll keep it watered and fertilized and talk to it nicely. It will have to be nursed for several months before it is warm enough for it to go out on the balcony. It will be interesting to see what is likely to happen in the meantime. Begonia bulbs are horribly expensive, so

I can’t just let it die. At least it will give me something to talk about during these dark days when the only things growing strongly are weeds. I have dead-headed the amaryllis but headless they will have to remain until they, too, can be put out-ofdoors. I must say they look pretty ridiculous this way. However the hibiscus on the same table has three fat buds

Helen Lang Over the Garden Fence which promise flowers within a week.

You win some and you lose some, whether in the garden, or in the house. As usual the poinsettias refuse to die, although one small one has been casting off its leaves, stubbornly holding onto its red bracts. I’m reminded of a poinsettia many years ago that refused to die. I did every mean thing I could think of to kill it ... left it in a drafty place, in a dark corner, held

off on the watering, said mean things to it, but it didn’t care. Finally, in June I had had enough and consigned it to the compost pile where, reluctantly, and very slowly it finally perished. I felt so badly about treating it that way that I began to avoid going to that side of the house and piled garden refuse by the back door. I avoided looking at the remains of the now leafless and red bracless skeleton poinsettia, by staring at passing cars, or dogs, or

kids, or passing adults who looked at me nervously, thinking me mighty strange. I rather wish poinsettias hadn’t become a part of the Christmas scene. Chrysanthemums have the decency to shrivel up and turn brown, so that you have to discard them or face amazed looks from friends. I think I’ll vote for them as decorations next Christmas. Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 30 years.

Marine Rescue gets donation Money from ANAF Unit 302 will go towards expenses Devon MacKenzie News staff

Last week the Saanich Marine Rescue Society (SMRS) received a donation from ANAF Unit 302. The organization received a $1,000 cheque from the Sidney-based ANAF unit which SMRS treasurer Paul Larkin said will go a long way in the not-forprofit society’s preparations for this year. “We operate a booth at the Sidney Market each year and we also do a mail out once a year asking for donations,” he said. “We get some funds from B.C. gaming for our capital expenditures but we rely on donations for much of our operating expenses like gas for the boats and training exercises,” he said. “Donations like this one are vital and very much

appreciated.” The SMRS, established in 1979, has 28 volunteers from the Sidney and North Saanich areas, Larkin said, and the team is dedicated to saving lives on the water all year round. “We really rely on funds from the public to operate,” said Larkin. SMRS President Vern Totten was on hand to accept ANAF’s donation on Jan. 18 as well as Karen Morgan from the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation, Constable Ravi Gunasinghe from the Sidney North Saanich RCMP and Jennifer Jasechko from the Broadmead Care Foundation who were all also recipients of donations from Unit 302. The money is raised through the unit’s weekly meat draws. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

O’Gorman agreed that’s too many and this effort will help keep people safe. The districts of North Saanich and Central Saanich are supportive of Sidney’s initiative. North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall asked to have some armbands avail-

able at their municipal office. Central Saanich mayor Alastair Bryson noted his community gave out some 5,000 armbands a couple of years ago and is looking into doing it again - but currently is not handing them out. Initially thinking of making the armbands available after the launch, organizers have been

handing a few of them out to people who have come to the RCMP or town office after publicity was made about the program. They are available on a firstcome, first-served basis at the Sidney North Saanich RCMP station and at Sidney town hall. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

WATERMAIN FLUSHING The Town of Sidney will commence the mandatory annual ushing of watermains on February 4, 2013 with completion anticipated by the end of March 2013. Flushing will begin in the southern areas of Sidney and proceed north. Temporary discolouration of water and/or low water volume may occur as a result of this activity. This discolouration is not a health hazard. To clear your water lines, turn on your cold water tap until the water is clear. Upon request, we will provide advance warning of ushing in your vicinity for those persons with special requirements for water clarity. Please contact the Public Works Department at 250-656-1034 if you require notiďŹ cation. The Town of Sidney does not accept any responsibility for damage caused by low water volume or the use of discoloured water. We therefore advise consumers to be on the alert for reduced water volume and/or temporary discolouration of water. More information may be found on our website at www.sidney.ca under News & Notices.

The Peninsula Panthers continued their upward climb by trumping the Kerry Park Islanders 5-3 last Saturday evening. Since making sweeping changes at the trade deadline on Jan. 10, the Peninsula Panthers have kept steady and over the weekend they captured 3 of a possible 4 points and 5 of 6 possible points since the trade deadline. “Quite a number of people I spoke with thought we would end up in the tank after the three deals we made right before deadline,� explained Hockey Operations Manager Pete Zubersky. “I honestly thought that it would make the remaining kids work that much harder as they would take on more significant roles, and it did. I really like how we’re playing right now.� Will Finlay opened the scoring for

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Caring for Your Glasses We wash our windshields when they are dirty, why not do the same for our glasses? Dirty, scratched, and misaligned glasses distort our sight, and increase glare problems. They do not, however, harm our eyes. Scratches may weaken the lenses’ resistance to impact. The following are some easy tips for proper eyeglass care: • Clean your glasses regularly using warm water and soap or special eyeglass cleaners to remove oils and dirt from the lenses. • Keep your glasses in their case when not in use. • Never set glasses down with the lenses touching the table or counter top. • Put on and take off your glasses using two hands. Hold each temple about midway, and gently slide them over your ears. • Avoid letting others try on your glasses as this may throw off the alignment. • Have your glasses readjusted periodically. If vision problems persist even with clean, dry, and properly adjusted glasses, consult your Optometrist.

the Panthers with just over eight minutes having passed in the first period. Also scoring for the Panthers were Cole Glover and Nathan Looysen, who is currently scoring a point per game. He was the lone marksman in the second period, giving the Panthers a 4-2 lead going into the third. Islanders’ netminder Jordan Hospes gave his team a chance, stopping 52 of 57 Panthers shots directed his way. Panthers’ goalie Stephen Heslop picked up the win, blocking 22 of 25 shots. During their home game last Friday, the Panthers lost 6-5 to the visiting Saanich Braves however the team still earned a point for the game. This Friday, Jan. 25, the Panthers will host the Nanaimo Buccaneers who will be making their last visit of the season. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. at Panorama. reporter@peninsualnewsreview.com

Glen Meadows upsets the Scots North Saanich curling club teams play for Strathcona Cup Steven Heywood

NOTICE OF PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE HOUSING STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PUBLIC CONSULTATION

News staff

Curlers with the Glen Meadows Curling Club held off visiting Scottish teams, 29 points to 26, during Strathcona Cup play on Jan. 16 in North Saanich. Play for the Cup is held every five years, with one country’s top curling teams visiting the other. It’s Canada’s turn to host this year, after winning the Cup in 2009. Dan Eakins reported that the local club was one of only a couple of clubs to defeat the Scots, who are now in Alberta. There are 15 Scottish teams in the country this month, playing teams across the country to try to reclaim the Strathcona Cup.

David Giles helped the Glen Meadows curling teams to score more points than the visiting Scottish teams. Giles was part of the Canadian contingent to Scotland in 2009 that claimed the Strathcona Cup.
