Crew’s on board with award

Ferry employee Hardeep Parmar recipient of Victoria Hospitality Award for customer service Steven Heywood News staff

Hardeep Parmar is quick to say an award that recently came his way for excellent customer service is a team effort.

The Customer Service Attendent aboard the MV Klitsa out of Brentwood Bay was recently given a Victoria Hospitality Award for, well, his excellent customer service.

The nomination came from a passenger on the Brentwood Bay ferry run whose car had died. She was on her way to cancer treatment and had pneumonia.

Parmar, she wrote, went above and beyond to get her vehicle started. It was this that led to the Victoria Hospitality Award.

The honours are chosen by representatives of Black Press, the City if Victoria, Destination British Columbia, the Hotel Association of Greater Victoria and Tourism Victoria.

“It is nice to be recognized,” he says. “It meant a lot to myself, our captain and the rest of the crew. It’s a good feeling.”

Parmar, a B.C. Ferries casual employee who splits his hours between various vessels in the fleet, credits the teamwork of Ferries crews who are taught about customer service from day one of their employment.

“I really don’t do anything more than what the whole crew does,” he says. “We’re all trained to deliver good customer service.”

Parmar, whose main job is safety and passenger control on board the vessels, is also a ticket taker on the MV Klitsa.

He said the crew — as well as all B.C. Ferries crews — work hard to ensure the vessels are clean and safe and that passengers enjoy their voyage no matter what is being talked about in provincial politics.

“I want people to know that whenever they come aboard they are treated as our guests.” editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, June 11, 2014

Students enjoy west coast experience Students from Gaspé, Quebec explore Gulf Islands Park Devon MacKenzie News staff

Students all the way from the other side of the country were in town earlier this week after winning the Canada’s Coolest School Trip contest put on by Parks Canada.

The long anticipated moment finally arrived for the Grade 8 class from École Antoine-Roy in Gaspé, Quebec this past Monday as they arrived in Victoria to experience the West Coast.

The class, who won the trip by creating a catchy music video that touched on the importance of Parks Canada to Canadians, enjoyed meals, accommodations and airfare with Air Canada courtesy of the contest which was sponsored by Parks Canada My Parks Pass program, Air Canada and Church and Dwight Canada Corp. (Arm and Hammer).

The trip spanned June 2 to 6 and students participated in activities like whale-watching and kayaking in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve (including Sidney Spit) as well as tours of Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site.

“We are all very close friends so this has been so much fun,” said Grade 8 student Justine Levesque.

“It’s really fun exploring new cities and places,” she added.

Samuel Chouinard, another student from the trip, said finding out they won the contest and the trip to B.C. was a once-inlifetime moment.

“It was very emotional,” he said.

“We were happy, surprised, shocked. It was a good moment.”

Teacher Steve Boulay said the experience is important for his students in more ways than one.

Make a bold statement.

“It’s great for them to get out and see new places and realize the importance and significance of our National Parks but it’s also great for them to know that if they work hard like they did making the video for this contest that they can succeed. I’m not sure if they are able to absorb everything just yet because it’s very exciting but the trip will be a memory they have for the rest

of their lives,” he said.

“I am pleased to welcome the winning class to our amazing Parks Canada places in British Columbia,” said Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of the Environment and Minister responsible for Parks Canada.

“Under our Government’s National Conservation Plan, we are encouraging Canadians to connect with nature and this is an ideal opportunity for these students to do just that.”

Canada’s Coolest School Trip is a contest offered through the My Parks Pass program. My Parks Pass is a collaborative program between Parks Canada, the Canadian Wildlife Federation, Canadian Geographic, Nature Canada and Historica Canada. The program invites youth to learn about Canada’s natural and cultural heritage and experience Parks Canada places first-hand.

The third annual Touch a Truck event is coming soon.

The popular fundraising event is orchestrated each year by the Team 4 Hope, a group of women spearheading the fight against childhood cancer by running and hosting fundraisers for Neuroblastoma research.

The team, which was founded in 2011 by Lisa Hopkins, is the leading fundraiser in Western Canada for Neuroblastoma research. It was started because Lisa’s 14-year-old son Jordan was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when he was only two-yearsold.

“When Jordan was diagnosed the one thing I remember when I asked about the odds of him beating it was the doctors telling me, ‘well there’s always hope.’ That’s always stuck with me so on the 10 year anniversary of his diagnosis I decided to start the Team 4

Hope,” she explained in a previous interview with the PNR. The Touch a Truck event is one of the biggest and most favourite events the Team puts on each year, explained Colette Hopkins, a team member.

The event features vehicles of all kinds on display in Panorama Recreation Centre’s parking lot including police cruisers, fire trucks, ambulances, excavators, cement trucks and an ice resur-

facer.

“Our team raised over $45,000 last year [during our fundraisers] which takes our grand total to over $200,000 over the past three years,” said Colette Hopkins, a team member, adding that the team gave out their first $50,000 grant last summer to a researcher at B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation and will be giving out two more this year.

As B.C. teachers prepared to vote on escalating job action and a potential full-scale strike, BCTF President Jim Iker announced last week that rotating strikes will continue across the province until June 13.

No walkouts were planned for Monday and BCTF members were voting Monday and Tuesday on authorizing the union to move to a full-scale walkout. Three days notice is required before a full-scale walkout can take place.

The Saanich School District will strike this

Friday, June 13.

“B.C. teachers remain committed to negotiating a fair and reasonable deal that provides better support for our students,” said Iker last week.

“B.C. teachers remain committed to negotiating a fair and reasonable deal that provides better support for our students.”

– Jim Iker “It’s time for Premier Christy Clark to provide the employer with new funding that will help bring the two sides closer together on class size, composition, staffing levels for specialist teachers, and wages.”

The Teacher’s Union is currently asking for a 9.75 per cent wage increase over four years. The government has offered 7.3 per cent over six years, along with a $1,200 signing bonus if a deal is made

before the end of June.

Meanwhile, the Saanich School District has altered their report card and grade schedule to try and accommodate students and teachers.

On Thursdsy, June 12, teachers plan to enter letter grades and work habits on report cards for Grade 6, 7, 8 and 9 students and percentages and work habits for Grade 10, 11 and 12 students.

The provincial government has said all school based and provincial exams will take place as scheduled and the school district has made an application to the Labour Relations Board for an essential services order.

The district expects to hear later this week whether or not exams will go on as planned but are encouraging students to plan as if they are.

Parents and students can find the latest information on job action in the district at www. sd63.bc.ca.

Easy ways to celebrate Father’s Day

Help dad to kick off his day in the right way.

Some nice ways to start it could include making him breakfast in bed, bringing him the newspaper to read in bed or maybe making his favourite pot of coffee.

When you’re planning for the big day, make sure to make it a family event. Use the opportunity to get everyone in the family together for a fun day (this could mean all the dads in your family, not just your own father!) Consider building the celebration around an activity you all can enjoy like having a family picnic, enjoying a family barbecue or playing golf together.

There are a lot of choices on the Peninsula for great gift ideas!

Lastly, a thoughtful card or letter will make the day extra special.

he Royal B.C. Museum played host to delegates from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on the weekend, marking the first time the organization held its annual general meeting in B.C. UNESCO officials were keen to connect with local First Nations leaders during their visit as the museum prepares for its opening of the Our Living Languages: First Peoples’s Voices exhibition later this month.

The interactive exhibition showcases the dialects of the Songhees, Esquimalt and dozens of other First Nations that weathered the near-disappearance of Lekwungen, T’Sou-ke and other traditional languages of their people in the past two centuries.

But the future can provide opportunity to make up for past mistakes. The museum’s three-year exhibition will give visitors, and more importantly the thousands of B.C. students who visit each year, a deeper perspective on First Nations culture.

UNESCO’s Memory of the World Committee is also in the midst of evaluating the Douglas Treaties for world heritage status, a symbolic move that would only help tell the story of our chaotic modern beginnings on Vancouver Island.

The 14 land title documents were amazingly the only such evidence of formal land agreements between the Crown and First Nations for 150 years until the Nisga’a Treaty was signed in 2000.

It’s also encouraging to see Songhees Chief Ron Sam and Esquimalt Chief Andy Thomas accept replica copies of the Douglas Treaties, despite their ongoing legal battles for land title in Cadboro Bay. Add to the mix the inaugural Aboriginal Cultural Festival taking place June 19 to 21 at Ship Point and the newly completed Unity Wall murals at Ogden Point, and the culture shift begins to feel palpable.

By showing a willingness to work together, the autonomy of First Nations can be preserved while working co-operatively towards common goals.

We applaud the Royal B.C. Museum and the First Peoples’ Council of B.C. for working to quash ignorance by celebrating our incredible, diverse cultures and reconnecting British Columbians with the bigger picture.

The museum’s three-year exhibition will give visitors ... a deeper perspective on First Nations culture.

A clearer picture of this situation is provided by a relentless blogger named Greg Renouf, who specializes in investigating protesters across Canada. His blog, genuinewitty.com, should be required reading for reporters who are presented with slick banners and posturing protesters.

Renouf follows the money as well as the familiar faces who pop up at protest after protest. In April he reported that the increasingly militant Council of Canadians is supporting the Unist’ot’en camp, along with what he describes as “a host of NGOs, unions, militant anarchists and professional protesters.” They include Harsha Walia, who organized violent protests against the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Meanwhile in the real world, TransCanada Corp. announced last week its subsidiary NovaGas Transmission has signed an agreement with Chevron and Apache for a gas pipeline that will connect to Pacific Trails. It’s one of four gas pipelines TransCanada has in development for what is planned to be the biggest industrial investment in B.C. history.

They can smear it with oil, but gas is the protest industry’s latest target.

Street market should enchance

T

he layout of the Sidney Street Market has always puzzled me — even as a vendor. Why haven’t they configured it to include the shops that line the strip?

It’s just bad design to draw customers to a commercial area and then block out the permanent businesses.

If Sidney is going to have a street market – which it should — then they should use the attraction to draw a larger customer base for their permanent businesses that contribute significantly to municipal tax base.

Other than four hours per week, the proprietors

who line Beacon are the life-blood of the local economy. Every other initiative should be designed to support and enhance their enterprises.

I enjoy the Sidney Street Market but it is disappointing to see the lights off and the doors closed behind those portable tents.

Often times we think we need to spend millions of dollars building attractive infrastructure to attract the customers — sometimes we just have to make some minor adjustments to how we operate.

Re: Bogged down in process, PNR, June 6.

When I first got elected in 2008 I was warned that I would need broad shoulders and reminded that you cannot please everyone. This has, and still is, proving to be true.

There is a small group of people who continually criticize and blame Sidney

council for some businesses not doing well.

I believe that we are rising up from the economic downturn and positive things are on the horizon. Over the last few months new business owners have come to Sidney and continue to do so.

Would they be doing this if they did not have confidence in our community?

I have also recently heard that some businesses are report-

ing they are significantly up from the same time last year. Hopefully the “doom and gloom” being portrayed by letter writers does not negatively impact this positive upward trajectory.

As for the signage being suggested, this is indeed coming. In fact, it’s my understanding that a working group was established to facilitate such signage and that

Thank you Costco for making miracles happen for BC’s kids.

Costco Wholesale has generously supported BC Children’s Hospital for over 20 years. The enthusiasm of Costco Wholesale, Employees and Members and their success in raising more than $11 million for the hospital is testament to their commitment to the health of BC’s kids.

Whether you call them dolls or prefer the more manly ‘action figures’ moniker, these collectibles take people back to their childhood.

For some, the hobby never ended.

In the case of Ginni Stieva, collecting dolls started when she was a child and continues to this day. In fact, she recently acquired an Italian fabric doll made in the 1930s and has included it in the Doll Extravaganza exhibit at the Sidney Museum.

“My grandmother also collected dolls and must have passed it on,” Stevia says.

Her collection spans the decades from the late 1800s and 1900s to today. China and Bisque head dolls to fabric and composite figures, to Barbie and Bratzilla — there’s a sampling from a variety of doll lines.

There’s even a few full collections on display.

A consistent aspect of doll manufacturing and collecting, said Stieva, is the clothing.

In any respects, she agrees, it’s all about the designs, the gowns, uniforms and outfits.

“French dolls (in the early 1900s) were kind of the premier ones,” she said, adding German dolls were considered next in line.

Steven Heywood/News staff

A collection of bridal dolls at the Sidney Museum on Beacon Avenue. The dolls exhibit runs to July 30.

“There was a huge industry in France.

There were people whose only job it was to make clothing for dolls.”

That hasn’t changed much today. There are entire collections that aren’t about the figure, but the designer and the clothing. The original Barbie dolls, Stieva added, were created for fashions.

Other dolls have even sported clothing made by designers such as Bob Mackie — who make clothing for real people.

“Barbie was designed so that the clothes made for it would hang on it well,” she explained. “It was never meant to be a true representation of a woman’s body.”

The thin shape of a Barbie doll has been the centre of a lot of controversy when it comes to body-image issues —

even as recent as this year when the popular doll made it onto the pages of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

American Girl Dolls, another line of toys, were part of a movement to create more realistic depictions of the female form. Yet, many dolls even now cater to fashion and marketing, not necessarily realism.

Stieva pointed out dolls were at one time very fragile and quite expensive, meaning only the wealthy could afford them. As materials changed from China to composite (basically pressed sawdust) or fabric, accessibility changed. Hand-made dolls gave way to massproduction and plastics. They have come full circle back to fabrics with lines such as Cabbage Patch Dolls and Groovy Girls.

Early dolls started out fairly generic in their look, and clothes were always treated

as a way to introduce young girls to sewing.

Stieva said that’s how she learned how to sew.

As marketers got a hold of them, dolls began to take on the images of real people or fictional characters. They’ve been spun out of Saturday morning cartoons, royal weddings, books and even the movies.

Action figures, too, are included in the exhibit — G.I. Joe, Star Trek, Iron Man and more.

Alongside Stieva’s collection are dolls from Sidney doll maker Romona King and a few on loan from other collectors.

Running June 5 to July 30, the Doll Extravaganza is hitting the streets for Sidney.

Stieva said local businesses will have dolls in their windows as part of a scavenger hunt contest.

Another contest will have people scouring the museum for tiny doll accoutrements.

There is also a doll dressmaking event in the works and two days dedicated to specific dolls: American Girl Doll Day on June 21 and Barbie Day on July 24.

This coming together started with a wooden canoe from the Tsawout First Nation that wasn’t being used. John Sampson says his uncle had purchased a canoe a few years ago but there were few people willing to pull (or paddle) it, let along train for war canoe races held in communities up and down the Island.

Both he and Janel Jack are working to change that. They agreed they might be able to find a crew of young women from the community, willing to train and work together as a group to address issues beyond the physical exertion needed to paddle the canoe.

Jack, a University of Victoria student working in the social justice field, says part of their culture lies in how First Nations communities used their canoes – building them and racing them, as well as the more historical used of travel, fishing, hunting and even warfare.

Her goal is to give the women on the team a way to move beyond the assimilation policies of past govern-

ments and the traumas inflicted by institutions like residential schools.

“You have to start with creating social change within yourself, your families and then in your communities,” Jack said. “We can start here by empowering women in the local First Nations communities.”

She said the group strives to avoid any oppression.

“More or less we are creating a health model to incorporate western and indigenous systems and cement them in our own lives and move past the trauma.”

Many of the young women are young mothers or have lived in abusive relationships.

“Two years ago was the last time I was in a canoe,” says Vivian Williams, one of the team members. “It’s a goal

of mine to stay healthy and work to help bring our culture back, and here I can bond with people I have just met.”

The young women at a recent training night said they were happy to be on the team and are finding it very positive and encouraging.

For some, it’s a nice break from family – a place they can go to let off a little steam – and a way to learn more about spiritual and cultural life in their community.

“It’s fun,” added Stephanie Quilt. “I look forward to coming to canoe practice every day.”

“It’s a great experience to be connected to the water,” said Kathleen Pelkey. “And I get a sense of peace from it.”

With a cheer of “Netemot” (meaning all of one mind), the women lift the canoes (with the help of Samp-

son and their skipper Al Sam who came out of a 15-year retirement to help out) and carry them into the ocean.

Their 11-person canoe is named Mariah Christine – and that’s also the name of their war canoe racing team.

They plan on training up to seven days a week as they get ready to enter races on Vancouver Island.

It’s a quick jump into that schedule for only having started the team on May 6.

“This has been a good experience for me,” added Kyla Elliott.

“There’s a spiritual connection to my ancestors.”

Jack said the community has been very helpful in sponsorships for the team.

She said Terry Stewart of the Victoria Airport Authority has been supportive, as have the owners of Odyssia Res-

taurant in Sidney.

Jack hopes the women can share their passions and goals with each other in a quest to find life-long change.

“It can be different,” she said. “By sticking together through issues in life, we can have that change.”

Pelkey added the

team has been encouraging each other since day one.

“All of us, in a way,” she said, “needed each other.”

As we age the vitreous tends to condense, shrink and become less transparent.

However, Admirals Rd. (near Thrifty Foods) not all floaters are this innocent. As the vitreous shrinks250-995-0449 it tugs at the retina. This tugging can occasionally tear the retina and subsequently cause a retinal detachment. When a detachment occurs, vision can only be saved by prompt www.saanichoptometry.ca medical intervention to repair and reattach the retina.

Don’t wait a few days to see if the symptoms decrease. If the shadow or curtain occurs on a weekend, go to Emergency. Retinal detachment is painless but serious. Your optometrist can help distinguish between normal vitreous changes and situations which require immediate referral to a medical specialist. Routine eye examinations are a great way to maintain good eye health.
