WestJet Encore takes flight Lise Broadley THE CHRONICLE

A large crowd was on hand Monday, June 24 to welcome WestJet Encore’s inaugural flight to Nanaimo Airport. As one of the airline’s new aircraft taxied toward the terminal local politicians, airport employees and passengers broke into applause. The flight arrived on time from Calgary in what WestJet Encore president Ferio Pugliese hopes is just one of many direct flights from Calgary to Nanaimo. “This is just the beginning.Demand has been very good,” he said. “As time moves on and people get more familiar with it and start to build plans, we think it’s only going to continue to grow.” Nanaimo is one of two new Canadian cities — the other is Fort St. John — to be chosen for the first round of Encore flights. As the carrier acquires more airplanes over the next few years the regional service will expand to other communities across the country. Currently, Encore is operating just two new 78-seat Bombardier Q400 turboprop airplanes but Pugliese said the company has already placed orders for 20 of the planes. They’ll be delivered one by one, roughly once a month, over the next two years and after that Encore has the option to order up to 25 more. “It’s a great aircraft. It’s the next generation; it’s smooth, it’s fast, it’s quiet and it’s very fuel efficient,” said Pugliese. “The fuel effiSTACEY CROSSLEY/CHRONCILE ciency allows us to move it quickly The Chemainus Summer Fest parade brought out many big, bright smiles Saturday, June 22, as the commu- but also do it in a very affordable nity celebrated the arrival of summer in “Chemainus by the Sea.” For more photos, please see page seven. fashion.”

That affordability is expected to benefit the consumer as WestJet and Air Canada Jazz compete for ticket sales. At the same time, the direct flights to and from central Vancouver Island are expected to boost the local economy, increasing tourism in the area and allowing people to travel easily to work in Alberta. “It’s going to open up all of southern Alberta as well as Edmonton to the Nanaimo market. We saw what happened in Comox when WestJet came in there and we’re expecting the same type of economic stimulus with these direct flights,” said Russ Burke, chair of the Nanaimo Airport Commission. “It’s also going to make air travel a little bit cheaper because we see competition on the route .” The plan to introduce a regional carrier to Nanaimo Airport has been in the works for about 10 years. In addition to removing trees and extending the runway, the airport has also installed an instrument landing system to make the facility more attractive to carriers. On Monday, passengers were all smiles as they took advantage of the new service. “I think it’s just terrific,” said Crofton passenger Pat O’Brien as he waited to board. “I’m really pleased to be able to fly directly to Calgary from here. It saves a lot of time but the convenience of it is the most significant feature for me.” WestJet Encore departs Nanaimo for Calgary daily at 12:30 p.m. For more information, visit www. westjet.com/guest/en/help/encore. shtml.

Staff Sgt. Larry Chomyn has left Ladysmith for a new position with the West Shore RCMP.

After a year and a half with the Ladysmith RCMP, Staff Sgt. Larry Chomyn, has taken a new position with the West Shore RCMP. “For me, it was just an evolution for my career; it’s a promotion opportunity,” said Chomyn, who had been the Ladysmith detachment commander since January 2012. “The job with West Shore will bring on different challenges. It’s a bigger detachment, so from a career point of view, that was the next step for me.” Despite Chomyn’s decision to move on, he enjoyed his time in Ladysmith, and he be-

Man electrocuted in bridge accident leaves hospital Ashley Degraaf BLACK PRESS

The man electrocuted in a June 18 industrial accident at the Chemainus River bridge construction site has been released from hospital. “It’s too early on at this point to know what happened,” confirmed Jacob Brothers Construction’s operating manager Paul Simpson, whose company was hired to complete bridge replacement. Emergency crews attended the scene at about 2:14 p.m. after receiving reports a man had been electrocuted on site. “He was breathing and conscious when he left,” said North Cowichan/ Duncan RCMP Cpl. Greg Pask at the scene

Tuesday. “He’s very lucky that’s all that happened.” The patient was flown to Victoria General Hospital, of which he was later released that evening. “We’re just grateful he’s been released from hospital and he’s doing well,” Simpson said. “And at this point, we’re just cooperating with the safety investigators.” Simpson didn’t know how much if any delay in construction would occur as safety staffers with WorkSafe BC investigate the scene. He also couldn’t confirm the worker’s name, or employer, but noted sub-contractors had been hired. The project started June 11 and is due to wrap up Oct. 11.

Chemainus grads are a close-knit group Tyson Jones the chronicle

The 2013 graduating class of Chemainus Secondary School may be small, but over the past years, they have come together to form a tight-knit group that is always there for one another, say this year’s valedictorians. Fifty-one students came together Friday, June 21 to graduate from Chemainus Secondary School. Though the group was small, they were lacking neither energy nor enthusiasm when each of them was called to accept their certificate of graduation. Georgia Bennett and Donovan Stoochnoff were picked to be this year’s valedictorians. They don’t give much validation to why they were selected — the two young adults were being quite modest. “We were the only pair that ran together, so that was a benefit to both of us,” says Bennett. “We are friends with all the demographics of the school,” Stoochnoff added. “We have such a small grade, and we are close with all of the people in it.” Both students were nervous to give their speech, but once they were behind the microphone, their worries

Georgia Bennett and Donovan Stoochnoff both look calm and relaxed before their graduation at Chemainus Secondary School Friday, June 21 seemed to slip away. “We focus a lot on how small our school is, how close we are, and how close we are with the teachers,” says Bennett. “The theme of our speech is sort of technology.” Technology is something that has brought major changes to education, and both valedictorians believed it to be something worth mentioning in their speech. “[Technology’s] just something to tie our generation in,” says Stoochnoff. “We are

Bennett will be moving to Ontario to attend Sheridan College, where she will be studying musical theater performance. She believes her family, which has always been very musical, is a driving force behind the decision. Stoochnoff is staying closer to home.

North Oyster parents make the case for their school Lindsay Chung the chronicle

Why close a fully-equipped functioning school building? That is one of the main questions North Oyster Elementary School parents are asking school trustees as the end of the school district’s 60-day consultation period for its Proposed 10-Year Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan. Fiona Steeves, co-chair of the North Oyster Parent Advisory Council (PAC), says one of parents’ big issues with the plan’s proposal to close North Oyster at the end of this school year and relocate students to Woodbank Primary and North Cedar Intermediate is the fact that North Oyster is a functional facility. “A significant portion of North Oyster is less than 20 years old, and we are not one of the deteriorating facilities, and it does not make sense to close it,” she said. Steeves also pointed out that North Oyster has been considered a Ladysmith school up until this plan, which ties it to schools to the north. “Most of us feel tied to Ladysmith,” she noted. Steeves says North Oyster parents also have serious issues with the actual process that the school district is undertaking around this plan. “The timing is horrendous for this plan and the fact that we don’t find out until the end of school,” she said.

“If it does close, there is no time for transitioning to a new school. Basically, the plan does too much too soon. We don’t disagree that there are changes that need to be made, but there must be a better way to implement them and to roll it out that doesn’t affect students in the short term.” The Proposed 10-Year Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan proposes creating an arts-focused elementary school in Cedar, and the North Oyster PAC has submitted its own proposal to the school board that would see an arts program at North Oyster Elementary School instead. “We have all the stuff they’ve talked about putting in the new Cedar Elementary,” she said, noting North Oyster has a fully functional stage and sound and lighting equipment, a kiln, a pottery wheel, print making equipment, a sewing room, a whole room dedicated to music and more. North Oyster has a capacity of 294, and Steeves says there are currently 83 students. She says there are almost 300 students in the North Oyster catchment area, and 141 do not attend public school. She believes putting in an enriched learning program such as a fine arts program could draw families back to North Oyster. “A lot of parents want their children to be in the public system, but they want enhanced programs,” she said.

Save our school, say École Davis Road students

Tyson Jones/Chronicle

Students at École Davis Road Elementary in Ladysmith celebrated Aboriginal Day and the upcoming end of the school year with a First Nations-themed Fun Day Friday, June 21. Teachers and staff organized the day’s activities, while the PAC provided free lunch to all students. Students finished the day by coming together to spell out SOS — Save Our School. School District 68’s Proposed 10-Year Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan would see École Davis Road closed in June 2014 and the students split up, with K-5 students moving to Ladysmith Intermediate School and Grade 6-7 students going to Ladysmith Secondary School. Parents, community members and the Town of Ladysmith have expressed serious concerns about the proposed plan, including the loss of a neighbourhood school in the south end of Ladysmith; the developmental, social and academic problems with students as young as 10 entering high school, and problems with the proposed “super school,” including its enrollment of 550, which exceeds the school district’s optimal size for an elementary school, its K-5 configuration, the size of the proposed site for the new school, and the lack of secured funding for any new school in Ladysmith. School trustees will vote on the proposed plan on Wednesday, June 26 at a public meeting at Nanaimo District Secondary School at 6 p.m.

Council objects to Parents unhappy with proposals in SD68 plan

K-5, 6-12 proposal Lindsay Chung

the chronicle

Emotions ran high as parents in Ladysmith shared their input with school trustees and school district staff as the public consultation around the proposed school changes winds down. School District 68 held a public forum for its Proposed 10-Year Enhanced Facilities for Learning Plan June 17 at Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS), and parents were broken into discussion groups around the proposed changes. Many parents objected to the proposal to close École Davis Road (EDR) in June 2014 and consolidate with Ladysmith Intermediate School (LIS), which would then become a dual-track K-5 elementary school. Under the proposed plan, all Ladysmith elementary schools would move to a new facility to be built on the Ladysmith Secondary site in 2017. One elementary school in town — which would have a capacity of around 500 students — was not a favourable option for many. Garth Buffie has twins who are now in Grade 8 at Ladysmith Secondary School and who attended EDR. “The reason we moved [to the south end of Ladysmith] and bought a house there is École Davis Road,” he said. “We appreciate the school. We want to see that it stays there.” Buffie raises concerns about Grade 6 students moving to high

The event, which is organized by the Chemainus Rotary Club, featured a pancake breakfast, parade, live music, children’s activities and a community showcase at the Chemainus Legion.

Opinion

Parents have lots of ideas

YOUR WORDS

“We are friends with all the demographics of the school.” Donovan Stoochnoff, Page 4

t the school district’s public forum on June 17, school board chair Jamie Brennna insisted nothing has been determined yet and everything is still up in the air. He says trustees are listening. We hope so because Ladysmith parents have come up with some good ideas for the district. The format for the public forum seemed to be an interesting one, with smaller discussion groups focused on certain aspects of the proposed plan. But why wasn’t this kind of consultation done before the plan was rolled out? Parents had a lot of questions and concerns during the meeting, and many of them stemmed from feeling that they didn’t have enough information. Maybe they would be less worried about some of the changes being discussed if the information came first. What exactly would a “middle school philosophy” for Grade 6-8 students at Ladysmith Secondary School (LSS) look like, for example? During the public forum, parents came up with their own solutions to some of the issues facing School District 68, such as relocating the Cedar Secondary students to LSS to increase enrolment numbers here. Other ideas that came up included creating a swimming academy at the secondary school because it is right beside the pool — something like that could draw in students from all corners of the district and keep parents from leaving the district. Many parents have put in a lot of time, thought, effort and research into creating proposals for the school board. It’s great to see people coming together to save their schools and stand up for what they believe. But I can’t help thinking it would have been nice if they could have shared their ideas before a plan was created and been part of that process instead of being invited to react to the plan. —Lindsay Chung

sults? It always seems like something is against you, stopping you from progressing. One day when I was reading this passage of scripture, I noticed something I never saw before. Jesus never spoke to the storm. He never acknowledged the waves or the boisterous winds. What He did do was speak to the

Disciples. The storm was not a concern to Jesus; He was already walking on top of it. His concern was His disciples. And His first word to them was to reveal who He was. That’s what gave them peace in the midst of the storm. Are you in a storm now? Something you can’t seem to overcome? What’s important is not what He has to say about your storm, but what He has to say to you. That’s the secret. He wants you to know Him and to know that He has control over the storm.

Letters

Cabinet rookies handed hot files BC Views

by Tom Fletcher

here are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the B.C. legislature for the first time on May 14. They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.” B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no

job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent. Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workforce for post-secondary trades and apprenticeships. In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters from two summers ago. Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administrative penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today. Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison built, to relieve a system that has inmates living in tents. And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribution Branch into a Crown corporation, a possible prelude to

selling it. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too. Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous ministers, and push Metro Vancouver through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time. Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C. Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money. All ministers have strict instructions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the

latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down. New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the always-delicate softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities muchneeded employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetlekill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.-directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries. Third-term MLA John Rustad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press newspapers.

at Douglas College in Coquitlam, and her experience working with seniors and youth in her course of studies makes her especially qualified for this job.” For many of the youth who get involved in the program, it is their first work experience, according to the LRCA. The program teaches youth basic skills in resumé writing and shows them what to expect in a job interview. Students can accept as much or as little work as they want. Before starting, students must attend a mandatory orientation session where they are taught safe work practices, personal safety guidelines when working for strangers, and how to present themselves on a job. “It gives them a taste of what area employe expects,” states the LRCA. “They learn how to behave and communicate in a professional manner, and they get experience they can use to build their resumés.” Last year, students assisted seniors with many activities. In return, the seniors paid them the minimum wage of $10.25 per hour. Students who are interested in the program can find information on Craigslist and Kijiji, in the career centre at Ladysmith Secondary School or on Facebook by searching Students Helping Seniors. Students can also visit the LRCA at 630 Second Ave. or call 250-245-3079.

Adventure awaits Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

A team of experienced, energetic leaders are ready to keep Ladysmith children active and excited this summer as they present Adventure Zone Summer Daycamps. Ladysmith Parks, Recreation and Culture is offering eight weeks of actionpacked, fun-filled day camp opportunities. Camp takes place at Transfer Beach from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and children can register per day, per week or for all eight weeks. Each of the eight weeks has a theme — Canadian Eh? (July 2-5), Animal Adventures (July 8-12), Superheroes (July 15-19), Athletic All-Stars (July 22-26), Icky Sticky Science (July 29-Aug. 2), Survivor (Aug. 6-9), Creative Cat (Aug. 1216), and Wet and Wild Beach Bash (Aug. 1923). “We plan to have a summer of being active, getting outside and having fun,” said leader Danielle Winter. “We have differentthemed weeks; we’re trying to stretch it out over the eight weeks of day camp so that it appeals to all kids. Each week, we do such a variety; we try every day to do a craft, and we’re always running around.” Daycamp participants will get a chance to explore different areas of town, as they go on outings related to that week’s theme, visiting places such as Black Press and the recycling depot. “We try to use our local attractions as much as possible,” said Winter, adding they are open to people coming in to do demonstrations and performances about their programs.

“If there is anyone who has a special interest in town, we’d be totally open to having them come to the camp.” Adventure Zone Summer Daycamp is flexible, as some children come for all eight weeks, and some come for just one week or even just one day. “We’re hoping to have tons of kids,” said Winter. “I think definitely, the more kids that come to camp, the more dynamic it can be, and the more fun the games will be.” This year’s leadership team includes Winter, senior leader Brianne Irving and junior leaders Cameron Manns, Bailey McLeod and Alexa Spanevello. All five have a lot of work experience working with children through their volunteer work and their jobs. “We’re all interested in dealing with people and being in a caring environment with children,” noted Irving, who just finished her degree in teaching. McLeod is excited to help children stay fit and be active this summer. “We make pretty good use of all the facilities too,” he noted. Summer daycamp costs $39 per day, space permitting, or $129 for five days ($119 for additional children from the same family). In weeks one and six, it is $99 for four days or $89 for additional children from the same family. For more information about the Adventure Zone Summer Daycamp, visit www. ladysmith.ca or call 250-245-6424. Children are asked to bring a healthy peanutfree lunch, water bottle, bathing suit and towel and wear active clothing.

The Chemainus Garden Club (CGC) hosted a “Fascinating” Garden Tour Sunday, June 23, offering a chance to visit nine gardens in Chemainus, Saltair and Ladysmith. In top photo, CGC president Nairne Culver of Ladysmith (left) and her sister-in-law Irene Culver of Chemainus, who is vice-president of the CGC, welcome visitors to Mike and Pat Antonik’s garden on Caswell Street in Chemainus. A year ago, the garden was all grass and moss. The Antoniks decided to create an “old-world” stone patio with a raised garden surround, and they’ve planted roses, fruit trees, lettuce, strawberries and even olives. Above, this birdhouse is one of the many funky things visitors discovered in Claude and Bertha Marcoux’s garden on Sequoia Way in Chemainus. The eight-year-old, 4,000-square-foot garden has incorporated Feng Shui, and the owners have included all five elements of Feng Shui — earth, wood, metal, water and fire — in their yard.

Opportunity knocks for The Lion The Bear The Fox Ryan McMahon’s new project is named to the Peak Performance Project Top 20, gets ready to release album and tour Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

What is Ryan McMahon most excited about when it comes to his new musical project, The Lion The Bear The Fox? The Ladysmith singer-songwriter says it’s the fact that he feels they haven’t even scratched the surface of their potential. “We’re not a typical band that rehearses a ton, due to the fact that I’m on Vancouver Island and the other fellas are in the city,” he says of his new soulful folk/rock band with Vancouverbased Woodward and Christopher Arruda. “I think if we’re afforded more time together and really collaborate further, great things can happen to this project.” Great things are already starting to happen for the three songwriters with the big voices. Earlier this month, The Lion The Bear The Fox was named a Top 20 finalist in the Peak Performance Project. Four hundred artists from across B.C. applied for the program, which includes showcases, a music business boot camp and a chance to win up to $102,700. McMahon says the first thought that went through his head when the band’s name was called was that things just got serious. “But mostly, it was the return of the same butterflies I used to get when I first started

LINDSAY CHUNG/CHRONICLE

Runners take off in a downpour during the start of the 29th Chemainus Legion Twilight Shuffe June 18.

Planning underway to bring bigger crowds to 30th Twilight Shuffle Lindsay Chung THE CHRONICLE

The 29th Chemainus Legion Twilight Shuffle 5K is barely over, but race coordinator Phil Nicholls is already hard at work planning the milestone 30th event. One hundred and fortyone runners and walkers took part in this year’s event, held June 18 in downtown Chemainus under what started out as very rainy skies. That’s down from the 325 who took part last year. Nicholls, a Chemainus native, started the Twilight Shuffle 29 years ago with his mother Lorna. The event has seen numbers as big as almost 1,000 people, but participation has been dwindling, and Nicholls would love to see those numbers rise again. The Twilight Shuffle started as a four-mile race. “We evolved it to a five-kilometre distance, and now the plan will be to keep her going and have a big one for the 30th,” said Nicholls. “I would have liked to, as always, see more numbers in it [this year]. I have to do the work up in the area. My idea is to get some school challenge going, just to get it fun and big.” Nicholls says the race started as a Sunday morning event and then became a Tuesday night run, and there could have been some confusion about the date. He thinks there may have also been confusion because when you search for the Twilight Shuffle on the Internet, past years come up with past dates, and a

Twilight Shuffle in the U.S. comes up, so a dedicated website might help. In the past, Nicholls says he did “go out on a limb” and add celebrity touches, with live entertainment by musicians like Gord Bamford, George Canyon and Michelle Wright, and those brought large crowds, particularly for Wright’s performance in 2003. Nicholls says the biggest year was probably 2005 or 2006 when two cast members from Trailer Park Boys entertained the crowd. “Being as I’ve always co-ordinated it, I’ve always kind of worn the blame for it not being as big as it should’ve been,” said Nicholls. “And I do have the bar high — we’ve had it as high as 1,000, so that’s the bar.” Despite the lower turnout and the downpour at the start of the race, Nicholls is happy with this year’s event. “Overall, I’m very pleased with it again and all the support that comes from the Legion,” he said. “It all comes off very well, for sure.” Nicholls is already looking ahead to next year’s 30th anniversary Legion Twilight Shuffle and has been busy planning how to make it bigger and better. The date has already been set for Tuesday, June 24, 2014, and Nicholls says he might try to find a way to tie in a running club from Victoria to draw runners up to Chemainus. This year, the top overall male racer was 47-year-old Neil Holm, who finished the run in 17:16. Nancy Baxendale, 52, who crossed the finish line in 19:23.

The Last Word

Smile of the Week Heard around town...

What is your name?

“Steve Sharpe.”

What is your hometown? What is your occupation?

“Ladysmith.” “Pastor.”

“What do you like most about your community?” “The community spirit. We rally around each other when we face hard times and we work together for a common cause.” What is your proudest or happiest moment? “When people raise money and support the food bank.” What scares you more than anything else in the world? “[A lack of] affordable housing and homelessness.” If you were Emperor of Vancouver Island, what would your first imperial proclamation be? “Provide transportation for people in Ladysmith so they could actually get to Nanaimo or Victoria.”

• A local couple living near the Public Works yard on Sixth Avenue thought birders around here might be interested to know they’ve seen a Eurasian dove around their home. They say it sounds like an owl but looks like a pigeon, and they’ve never seen this kind of bird around here. • Students at St. Joseph’s School in Chemainus have been working with artist Ewa Sniatycka to create a clay mural that will be installed on the school grounds. Every class in the school has helped create all of the pieces for the mural. • Resilience is the ability to find the inner strength to bounce back from a setback or challenge, and an upcoming workshop will help local youth build this quality. The Cowichan Neighbourhood House will host a Resilient Youth Workshop for youth aged 12 to 18 this Thursday (June 27) from 1-4 p.m. at 9796 Willow St. in Chemainus. This workshop focuses on increasing selfesteem and building confidence in a com-

munity setting. Each Youth is challenged to look at his or her world and say “it doesn’t have to be this way” and then go do something about it. To register, call 250246-3203 or e-mail cnhaoffice@shaw.ca. • Ladysmith’s Murray Atkinson will be taking part in a free outdoor fundraising concert Saturday, July 6 in Nanaimo. We Wrack for Kids will raise money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Nanaimo July 6 from 2-5 p.m. at the Headliners School of Performing Arts parking lot. Atkinson and Odds bandmate Pat Stewart will back Camille Miller, along with Lance Lapointe. Two bands from Headliners Rock School led by Scott Brown of Trooper will perform, along with ROCK-IT CHORUS and Mikaila Tombe. There will be face painting, a barbecue and more. • Students in Grades 4 to 7 at Crofton Elementary School are

getting their hands on a number of cool hightech projects, courtesy Vancouver Island’s Byte Camp program. Students tried differ-

ent projects including claymation and music and video production, 2D and 3D video games as well as 3D animation.

Our hostess will bring gifts & greetings along with helpful community information.
