50 high-risk offenders live in Greater Victoria. And despite community concerns, few commit new crimes or break court probation rules

Reality Fact vs.

News staff

ublic notifications for two sex offenders living in Victoria are creating widespread fear and scant meaningful information, says a local criminal justice

expert. Last month, two paroled sex offenders – James Campbell, 63, and Larry Takahashi, 61 – moved to Victoria halfway houses, prompting public warnings from the Victoria Police Department. Takahashi is on a temporary release and must return to prison Dec. 24, while Campbell received an automatic release after having served two-thirds of his sentence. “Public notifications do create generalized fear,” said Blair Fisher, a criminal justice instructor at Camoson College. That fear often leads to false sightings and can strain police and parole office resources, Fisher said. In the past several weeks, VicPD has

received hundreds of calls about both men but neither have been caught violating their conditions nor committing crimes. “In the case of Mr. Takahashi, even though he’s got a temporary unescorted absence, all that means is he doesn’t have a specific escort tied to his hip,” said Patrick Storey, Parole Board of Canada spokesman. “He doesn’t have overnight leave, and he’s surrounded with watchful eyes.” A high-risk offender is defined as any person who reasonably poses a significant risk of harm to a public individual or group. From a police perspective, false sightings

“We see these guys up to six times a day, so we can tell when they’re acting strange.” – Dave Johnson, John Howard Society of Greater Victoria

are a small price to pay to mitigate potential risk to the public. “We have a duty to inform when there is someone we feel is dangerous in our midst,” said Bowen Osoko, VicPD spokesman. “Those who live here are our eyes and ears.” At any given time, there are roughly 50 high risk offenders and another 250 convicted offenders living in Greater Victoria, according to VicPD numbers. Only some of those men – including Takahashi and Campbell – end up at one of Victoria’s three halfway houses, where they face much more restrictive conditions.

While there’s still a lot of 2013 to pack in to the final two months of the year, car manufacturers have already begun rolling out next year’s models. In Friday’s edition of Driveway our knowledgeable auto columnists will look at some of the eye-catching 2014 models that will be out on our roads in the coming year. Driveway editor Keith Morgan picks some of his favourite higher-end vehicles: BMWs, Audis, Mercedes. (These vehicles start at $34,000.) Zack Spencer and Alexandra Straub look at vehicles that are more practical for the family lifestyle. Spencer chooses his favourite compact cars and SUVs, while Straub highlights fun and sporty cars at a price that won’t break the bank. Truck aficionado Ian Harwood, in his first appearance in Driveway, will lay out some of the best pickups on the market. And for the environmentally friendly driver, Bob McHugh introduces five new hybrids that give their gasoline counterparts a run for their money. “Go and kick some tires at a variety of dealerships and consider multiple brands because they all have much to offer,” Morgan says of the 2014 line-up. editor@vicnews.com

Sewage project costs increase by $38 million

Ralph Lapp loads 83 boxes of sweaters at the Hope Lutheran Church on Carrick Street. The sweaters collected as part of a national campaign by the Hope Lutheran Church and Lutheran Church of the Cross on Cedar Hill Road will be sent to Syrians living at the Z’atari refugee camp in Jordan

CRD votes to uphold ban on human waste as fertilizer – costing taxpayers millions Daniel Palmer News staff

Sweaters warm Syrian refugees Christopher Sun News staff

Two local Lutheran churches have received more than 3,500 donated sweaters as part of a national campaign to help Syrian refugees in the Middle East. Louise Rushton, spokesperson for Hope Lutheran Church on Carrick Street in Victoria, said her church and Lutheran Church of the Cross on Cedar Hill Road in Saanich sent 180 boxes to Winnipeg last week. Each box held about 20 sweaters and donations came from throughout the Capital Region. “We had a lot of outreach from other communities, such as Sidney and Langford,” Rushton said, adding churches of other denominations also participated. “When they heard the callout for this, St. Patrick’s (Catholic) church was having a fall elephant sale and they collected all of their sweaters and sent them to us.”

Initiated by Winnipeg-based Canadian Lutheran World Relief, the sweater campaign is focused on helping Syrians living at the Z’atari refugee camp in Jordan. Children and adults staying there face a shelter shortage and many don’t have appropriate winter clothing. Throughout October, the churches collected sweaters only, but a box of home-knitted hats was also received and sent along with the sweaters. Rushton thanked all those who donated and the volunteers who sorted and boxed the sweaters. Oak Bay Home Hardware employees helped pack the trucks. Those still wanting to donate to the Syria refugee cause are encouraged to contact local charities as the Sweaters for Syria drive is now over. “It doesn’t matter what city or what country you are donating to,” Rushton said. “It’s the fact that you give what you have to help others.” reporter@vicnews.com

A Victoria Royals fan who tackled the team’s mascot in front of thousands of fans on Saturday could be facing criminal assault charges. Video from the Royals’ 3-1 win over the Red Deer Rebels captured one fan who didn’t take kindly to Marty the Marmot’s meddling during an intermission game of musical chairs at Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. Video images show a man slamming the jovial marmot onto the ice and then dragging Marty by his furry foot for several seconds before being escorted off the rink. VicPD Const. Mike Russell said police are conducting an active investigation into the incident. “We are investigating it as a criminal assault case and have identified the suspect,” Russell said. Police are still waiting to interview the employee who dons the novelty marmot suit, he said. Royals officials did not return requests for comment.

The cost of Greater Victoria’s secondary sewage treatment project is going up by an estimated $38 million after politicians voted to uphold a ban on human waste as fertilizer. At an Oct. 30 meeting, Capital Regional District directors were presented with information that argues treated human waste is actually less contaminated than many agricultural manure products. The commission tasked with overseeing the sewage mega-project said it could save taxpayers $35 million by spreading treated waste on CRD forest lands, a practice already taking place in other B.C. jurisdictions including Nanaimo. “The risk is minuscule,” said Albert Sweetnam, Seaterra project director in an interview. “That decision (to uphold the ban on the use of biosolids as fertilizer) actually cost taxpayers $38 million.” Now, the CRD will likely need to build an incinerator to dispose of dried biosolids in addition to a sewage sludge processing facility at Hartland landfill. The project also includes a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt and an 18-kilometre underground pipeline and pumping stations between the two sites. An exact pipeline route hasn’t yet been chosen, but Sweetnam said it will won’t cut through private properties. Sweetnam became the public face of the CRD’s sewage project in September. His “26-hour days” include functioning as the key liaison between CRD directors, staff, municipal and provincial governments and, perhaps most dauntingly, the taxpayers of Victoria, Oak Bay, Saanich, View Royal, Langford and Colwood. Recent proposals for smaller, decentralized sewage processing plants would cost at least $2 billion and likely more, he said. Sweetnam also didn’t rule out the possibility of looking at newer technologies for sewage treatment, but said the technology must be proven. “Proven means it’s been functioning for at least five years at a facility of comparable size,” he said. Construction at McLoughlin Point will begin next summer, while Victoria and Esquimalt advisory design committees will get a chance to critique the incoming requests for proposals, Sweetnam said. “(The CRD) spent a lot of money studying options,” he said. “These decisions are now made, and we’ve actually started building. So the horse is out of the barn.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

TLC begins process to sell land trust property Edward Hill News staff

The Land Conservancy has started to zero in on properties in Victoria and other parts of B.C. it could sell as it begins the process to repay $7.5 million it owes to creditors. In a report issued last week by Wolrige Mahon Ltd., the court ordered monitor for TLC’s creditor protection proceedings, TLC will try to sell a parking lot it owns beside Abkhazi Gardens for $539,900 and a residential development property in Sechelt for $1.9 million. It also wants to sell its 35 per cent share of the protected Maltby Lake property in Saanich. Of note, the Wolrige Mahon report listed the 27-acre Madrona Farms in Saanich as potential asset to sell, and described it as a property with “marketability in the near term.” TLC director of operations John Shields said including Madrona Farms in the list of potential sale properties was an error and a “mis-listing of intended actions.” “Madrona is not under consideration at the moment,” Shields said. In its place, he said TLC is considering selling the Keating Farm Estate in the Cowichan Valley, a 13 hectare farm in the agricultural land reserve with 1880s era buildings.

gized for the error in the monitor report and for causing undue alarm for supporters of Madrona Farms. The court was notified Monday of the error, he said. “The TLC board knows about it and are calling the appropriate people,” McMorran said. “I apologize but its out there and folks are rightly upset.” Properties purchased by TLC are regulated under the Charitable Purposes Preservation Act of B.C. (CPPA), which prevents land within a trust to be sold or seized to repay debts. Shields said TLC is obliged to follow court orders under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), a federal law. “In the situation we are in, the CCAA requires ... that we review each of our properties for their potential to pay off our creditors, in the context of our mandate to protect ecologically sensitive and environmentally important properties,” Shields said. “We are definitely looking to sell properties, while making sure we are mindful of the CCPA.” A list of 17 conservation properties – which includes Madrona Farms and the Sooke Potholes – and seven heritage properties, will be reviewed for sale potential. TLC owns 50 properties across B.C., 8,300 acres worth, with an aggregate assessed value of $43,784,000. editor@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Be prepared for a bigger tax hit Like any big infrastructure project, the $783-million price tag for the Capital Regional District’s sewage treatment project, recently rebranded as Seaterra, is a floating target. The CRD is nonetheless moving forward with this budget number to gauge bids from contractors hoping to build elements of the system. It’s the basis for the one-third funding from each of the provincial and federal governments and from properties to be using the Greater Victoria sewer system. Seaterra program director Albert Sweetnam told a Black Press editorial board that the real cost is expected to be plus or minus 25 per cent of the budget. That’s nearly $196 million either way, and previous provincial projects suggest the costs will migrate only one way: upward. We don’t want to sound like Henny Penny, crying that the sky is falling, but a chunk of that plus-or-minus buffer has already been accounted for. This, a few years before the vast majority of construction on this massive project is scheduled to begin. The CRD board last week bumped up the treatment project cost by $38 million with its decision to not allow biosolids fertilizer created in the CRD to be used in the CRD. Seaterra said its hand is forced to plan for a resource recovery centre at Hartland Landfill that is required to do a lot more than originally budgeted. The CRD board’s somewhat baffling decision shows just how easy it is for millions to be tacked on to a project’s budget. Taxpayers in the core municipalities are on the hook for any cost overruns above $783 million, and senior government contributions don’t include a 25-per-cent buffer. Some municipal jurisdictions have already begun billing for sewage treatment as a way to spread out the tax burden. It seems now there’s a good chance that burden may have to be spread out longer than originally expected for a project that is substantially more expensive, while barely out of the gates.

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control calculates that if all healthcare workers would get immunized, the risk to patients would be reduced nearly 50 per cent. The Ministry of Health warns: “You can spread influenza for 24 hours before you have any symptoms.” What would cause educated health-care workers to defy common sense? A hint is provided by professional union promoter and publicist Bill Tieleman, who railed about the decision on his blog. This regulation is inspired by big bad U.S. health care corporations that would rather impose immunization than pay for sick days, Tieleman asserts. Ah, so an infected health-care employee should wander the wards until symptoms emerge, and then go home for a few days of paid rest. What a perfectly stupid idea! Last week BCNU president Debra McPherson was warning about “chaos” at the new Surrey Memorial emergency ward, her latest of a career of media protests. The big new facility is already overflowing, and more beds and more staff are needed, stat! Perhaps if better preventive measures were taken by nurses, doctors and other staff, this chronic “chaos” would be reduced and these unions would have more credibility.

Is it time to take a closer look?

Resident isn’t confident with treatment technology Re: Money-saving sewage plan has holes: CRD director (News, Oct. 30) Capital Regional District director Judy Brownoff states that gasification technology was looked at in 2009. So, what have the consultants

hired by the CRD been doing since that time with respect to updating this research? There are successful gasification operations with respect to sewage sludge in Florida, Japan and Germany, to name just a few.

I have no confidence in this project when directors are satisfied with information relating to technology that is five years out of date. With the current ban on the land application of biosolids still firmly in place,

it behooves the CRD to look to gasification as a possible answer to this problem, namely: What to do with the sewage sludge at the end of the day? Beth Burton-Krahn Esquimalt

Writer fears reduction Reader responds in grocery competition online via Facebook Re: Safeway in Saanich, Oak Bay to be sold (News, Oct. 25) I wrote to the Competition Bureau of Canada on June 17 strongly opposing the purchase of Safeway stores by Sobeys, owner of Thrifty Foods. Frankly, I could not see why Sobeys would want to buy Safeway grocery outlets in Western Canada, except to reduce competition, raise prices and gain a monopoly in the foreseeable future. I am convinced this sale of Safeway stores is the beginning and will impact families in Victoria and the Saanich Peninsula. I am disappointed with the decision of the Competition Bureau to allow the sale and I will write to them again. I am somewhat relieved that they ordered the sale of three Safeway stores rather than see the locals face potential closures. I just hope these stores are purchased by strong grocery retailers such as Save-On or Loblaws or by local grocers who would give strong competition to Sobeys. We need fair and healthy competition. I am afraid only time will tell. Haji Charania Saanich

The Salvation Army needs volunteers for its annual kettle campaign. The kettle campaign is one of Canada’s largest and most recognizable charitable events with all donated dollars staying in the community where the donation was made. In Victoria, the kettle funds are directed to the Stan Hagen Centre for Families. On average, the Stan Hagen Centre assists 1,000 individuals and families every month. During the winter season this demand increases. In 2012, the centre assisted 1,500 families with Christmas hampers and 1,000 children with Christmas gifts. Kettle shifts run between two to eight hours, If you are able to volunteer, please contact Sipili Molia, kettle coordinator at 250386-8521, 250-216-2447 or by email at Sipili@sashcf.com.

This Sunday, he’ll be a part of the audience while Victoria Symphony maestra Tania Miller conducts the piece, alongside a performance by dance troupe Coleman Lemieux & Companie and the Victoria Philharmonic Choir at UVic’s Farquhar Auditorium. “I’m just thrilled she’s doing it,” Butterfield said. “Maybe I’ll finally hear it done right.” The performance is slated for 2:30pm Nov. 10. Tickets are $20 or $15 for students, available at tickets.uvic.ca, in person or 250-721-8480. The Maritime Museum’s exhibit Convoy PQ-17: The Art of History continues through Feb. 28.

this kind of work is more uncommon, to put it mildly. You don’t often go to see large commemorative piece for wartime episodes with dance, chorus and orchestra.” Yet the response from veterans In Canada has been strong, and positive. “For them it opens up very real memories, things that perhaps they don’t think about that much, or that are difficult to remember. For people who haven’t experienced wartime, maybe they see it more as a spectacle.” Convoy PQ-17 is very much Coleman’s personal story, one he uncovered gradually given his father’s reluctance to speak openly of the disaster. “It’s not talked about in the same way as you talk about Dieppe or something like that,” Butterfield said. “The convoy was perfectly safe but they got bad advice from the British admiralty. ... And Joe Coleman was on one of these boats and came out of it alive. He said he didn’t want to be saved anymore. He ended up on one of those islands on the Arctic circle, and was eventually saved and repatriated.” Butterfield’s father also served in the war KEN STRAITON PHOTO as a merchant marine in Christopher Butterfield. the Indian Ocean. Like Coleman senior, he kept that part of his life private. “The fact that we both had fathers who had experienced life at sea in the wartime, it makes that poignant connection.” Butterfield, a self-described stylistic mongrel, whose background includes performance art, sees Convoy PQ-17 as a perfect example of that medium, a sort of time-based piece, in position between disciplines, he said. “Music is used to manipulate emotions and I’ve never really done that,” he said.” I won’t say this piece doesn’t appeal to the emotions; it’s more

welve years after two artists brought the little-known story of a Second World War tragedy to the Victoria stage, the composer behind the requiem had a chance to look back on their initial concept – literally. Earlier this year while preparing for the Maritime Museum’s exhibit on Convoy PQ-17, a botched marine supply mission in the Arctic Ocean that saw 24 of 35 merchant ships sunk by German U-boats and aircraft bombers, Christopher Butterfield rediscovered his original manuscript

for the work, which will be performed Nov. 10 at the University of Victoria. “I didn’t think I had one,” said Butterfield, an associate music professor at the University of Victoria. “I thought the whole thing was written down on scraps of paper. It was fascinating for me to see that original plan and then to see what resulted from that musically.” What resulted was a symphony and dance piece choreographed by Bill Coleman, the son of a Convoy PQ-17 survivor, that has been performed for audiences as far away as Montreal and St. Petersburg, Russia. “In Russia they take very seriously the history of the war,” Butterfield said. “It’s very serious business.

“We see these guys up to six times a day, so we can tell when they’re acting strange or smell a whiff of alcohol,” said Dave Johnson, executive director of the John Howard Society of Greater Victoria, which runs a 15-bed halfway house. Before arriving in Victoria, parolees are assessed by Corrections Canada, the parole board and then screened by a local committee comprised of one VicPD detective, local halfway house directors and parole officers. VicPD can offer opinion on high-risk offenders moving to the community, but it has no authority to reject candidates. “You don’t often see this discrepancy between the criminal justice system saying, ‘We think he’s an acceptable risk’ and the police saying, ‘No we don’t.’ Mr. Takahashi is a unique case in that regard,” Fisher said. But there are sometimes tragic outcomes. Roger Badour, a 63-year-old sex offender serving parole in Victoria, skipped town in 2011 and murdered a Prince George woman. But the vast majority of parolees serve their time and overcome reintegration into the community,

“The bulk of the guys that are in prison will eventually come out, so let’s make sure we give them the transitional support they need to keep the community safe.” – Dave Johnson Johnson said. Recidivism rates amongst parolees over the age of 50 are lower than their younger counterparts (Senior parolees have a seven to 12 per cent likelihood of re-offending after release, according to parole board numbers). “Halfway houses have a great record of success, and I’d rather have them going there then seeing them released to the street with no or minimal support,” Johnson said. “The bulk of the guys that are in prison will eventually come out, so let’s make sure we give them the transitional support they need to keep the community safe.” Takahashi and Campbell face strict parole conditions which can be found at vicpd.ca. If you see them violating these conditions, call police immediately. dpalmer@vicnews.com

VROOOOOM ❱ Alexandra Straub every Friday ❱ driveway

University historian delves into S. African women’s farm Historian Elizabeth Vibert has spent three years studying a unique women’s farm in South Africa. Now, on the eve of that country’s 20th anniversary of democracy, she is sharing her findings in the second of a four-part lecture series, sponsored by the Victoria Grandmothers’ Advocacy Network and Cadboro Bay United Church. Vibert, a University of Victoria professor, will describe how three generations of rural African women have created a cooperative farm, building strength,

self-sufficiency and community – as well as feeding their families. The talk, entitled Global Food Security: The Story of an African Women’s Farm, will examine grassroots alternatives to industrial, export-oriented agriculture. Her description of the farming women will highlight specific challenges of state violence, rural marginalization and the impacts of HIV/ AIDS. She will also show how small communities can work together to build social resilience. The farm is also the focus of the Colonial

Legacies Field School course that Vibert is offering her students next spring in Limpopo, South Africa. The Grandmothers’ Advocacy Network is a group of women across Canada pushing for more government aid to fight AIDS and other diseases in Africa. The talk will be held at Cadboro Bay United Church, 2625 Arbutus Rd., at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 18. Admission is by donation. For more information, please call 250-4772715.

for the bureau’s annual Torch Awards have shown they’re willing to go the extra mile. “It not only says that they are good, but they did something extraordinary for a customer,” says Rosalind Scott, bureau president. The stories told by the consumers who have written nomination letters over the years give a sense of what she means. In one, a masonry company managed to install an entire chimney without disrupting the frequent nap schedule of the client’s baby. Another told of a pet store clerk helping a mother and her young child find a new goldfish to replace one that died. He took plenty of time to make sure they found just the right one, not once but multiple times.

And one Thrifty Foods store was honoured after being nominated by an elderly gentleman who stated he was a Holocaust survivor. “He wrote his nomination on a crumpled piece of paper with a pencil,” Scott says. “He said he feels like they care that he is walking into the store.” The awards are split into four categories: trustworthiness, community

engagement, ethical decision making and customer service excellence. Those four are also split into industry sub-categories of life improvements and professional services, trade services and support, and construction and renovation. Receiving special 50-year accreditation awards on the night are Butchart Gardens and Phil Ballam Plumbing and Heating Co. The nominees are listed at vi.bbb.org and winners will be listed following tomorrow’s (Nov. 7) ceremony at the Union Club. Call 250-386-6348 for more information on the bureau or awards night.

VICTORIA HOSPITALITY AWARD WINNER May 2013

For years, Linda has worked for us and for years I have had guests write to me telling me stories about the wonderful woman named Linda on our front desk. She’s been described as the most marvellous human being on this planet by several different sources and the reason is her completely selfless nature and drive to serve, no matter who it is. Countless times she has given her lunch to people who have arrived late and the restaurant has been closed (she works evenings). She is one of those big hearted people who is constantly thinking of others, anticipating needs whether it be a guests or a co-worker. If someone is off sick at work, she calls to check in with them, sends them home with soup, baked goods and drops a card in the mail. She often brings in homemade treats and chocolates to the hotel and also our head office. She is the most thoughtful woman I’ve ever met. However, it was the night of the fire that I saw Linda shine in a truly exceptional way. She kept her calm as she evacuated guests to our front lawn in the wee hours of the morning, then madly searched for new accommodation for them while making light remarks and the occasional jokes even though she was feeling the stress. She had the foresight to give guests an emergency kit of toothbrush, toothpaste, razor...etc. and probably would have given the shirt off her back to any of the evacuees. When the fire settled down Linda had worked through the night, with no thought as to when her shift ended or started. She just knew she had a job to do and wouldn’t go home until everything was taken care of. I was in awe as I watched her deliver exceptional service to these panicked guests all while knowing Linda was under extreme stress herself. Please consider Linda for an award, never in my career have I seen a more deserving applicant.

Silver at nationals a big result for young Vikes team Travis Paterson News staff

As the UBC Thunderbirds claimed its third straight CIS National women’s field hockey championship 4-1 against the UVic Vikes on Sunday it was obvious the team is a cut above its university competition. The UVic Vikes, bless their silver hearts, did the best they could to bring the ball up-field and even carried the momentum of the game for a good run in the first half. But scoring chances were tough to come by, and the Vikes were forced to stop a lot more quality attempts

Claremont’s powerhouse program also sent rowers to Seattle’s Head of the Lake University of Washington regatta, where Claremont’s national junior rower Sophia Donnecke, of Saanich, won the five-kilometre women’s single. Donnecke will represent Claremont and B.C. at the National Rowing Championships in Welland, Ont., Nov. 8 to 10. sports@vicnews.com

Vikes twos go first The UVic Vikes men’s rowing team finished third overall the 2013 Canadian University Rowing Championships at McGill University’s Olympic Basin in Montreal. The Vikes men’s pair (sweeping) of Will O’Connell and Sean Decter took first on the two-kilometre course and the Vikes men’s double (sculling) of Alex Walker and Lee Hall were also first. O’Connell and Decter were in the men’s eight that finished fourth. The Vikes women’s team was fourth with top showings from pair Jillian Legare and Rebecca Zimmerman, and the lightweight quad, which were both second.

Vikes win Canada West bronze at Centennial Graduating senior goalkeeper Tanya Jones played with a dislocated finger to guide the UVic Vikes to a 1-0 victory and bronze medal, beating the UBC Thunderbirds in penalty kicks at the Canada West women’s soccer championships at UVic on Saturday. The Vikes went three for five in the penalty kick shootout with goals from Jackie Harrison, Lindsay Hoetzel and Shannon Elder, while Jones held the T-Birds to just one goal. It was a massive way to go out for Jones, a product of Sidney’s Parkland secondary school, after the Vikes heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss to the Trinity Western Spartans on Friday night. The Friday loss cost UVic a seat at the CIS nationals beginning in Toronto later this week. The Vikes men fell 2-1 to the Fraser Valley Cascades in the bronze medal game of the Canada West Final Six on Sunday afternoon at UBC. sports@vicnews.com

‘Inspiring’ Greater Victoria teenagers win scholarships An inspiring group of Victoriaarea students have won scholarships from Coast Capital Savings Credit Union. Stacy Trahan, one of the winners of a $5,000 Standing Tall award – for youth who make a positive impact on their communities in the face of personal adversity – was recognized for her battle with cancer as a teen. “I was thrilled when I learned I had won an education award,” Trahan said in a news release. “I don’t think I would come even close to being able to graduate on time with all my friends, and now not only have I graduated on time, but I graduated

For the record

on the honour roll. I didn’t let cancer beat me. I pulled myself together, finished high school and now I’m off to university.” Trahan is pursuing a degree in business administration at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo. Other Greater Victoria winners included Ryan Heron, Lindsay Kastelic, Alastair Kierulf, Perry Taylor, Chris Wright, Taylor Nelson and Joshua Yates. Each won either a Standing Tall scholarship or a Citizenship Award, which recognizes youth who demonstrate extraordinary leadership in all facets of their lives.

An Oct. 30 article incorrectly listed Charlotte Turner as the owner of 2002 Richmond Rd. Turner is in fact listed

More than 800 B.C. students applied for the 48 scholarships, worth $144,000, $30,000 of which is going to Victoria youth. Successful recipients were selected by a committee of local Coast Capital staff. “Our education awards program applicants wow us every single year,” said Wendy Lachance, Coast Capital’s director of community leadership. “Although there are only 48 annual awards, each of the young people who apply provides an inspiring example of the diverse, wonderful things our young citizens are achieving.”
