Pot tax welcome
Central Saanich mayor pleased with industrial tax rate for medical marijuana operations Devon MacKenzie News staff
The decision by the provincial government to exclude federally-licensed medical marijuana production from the list of agricultural uses that qualify for farm classification for tax purposes is being called “welcome” by Central Saanich Mayor Alastair Bryson. “It is a welcome decision, since it ensures that any licensed medicinal marijuana facilities which are located on industrial lands will be taxed fairly by being prevented from qualifying for farm classification,” said Bryson in an interview with the PNR. “Also, the taxes on operations located within the Agricultural Land Alastair Bryson Reserve, as allowed by the Agricultural Land Commission, will better reflect the industrial character of the facilities,” he said. The province has said the decision will ensure local governments do not lose potential property tax revenues from the Health Canada licensed-production facilities. The approach, they say, is consistent with the one being taken in Alberta. A building recently constructed on Lochside Drive in Central Saanich houses a legal marijuana grow operation run by Evergreen Medicinal Supply Incorporated. Please see: Farm tax exclusion, page 4

Pulling Together for better understanding Tseycum First Nation hosting this year’s coastal canoe journey to help make connections Steven Heywood News staff
Members of the Tseycum First Nation in North Saanich are keeping alive the ideals of what was once known as the Vision Quest Journeys — created by aboriginal artist Roy Henry Vickers and a former RCMP officer named Ed Hill. The local community hosts the 2014 Pulling Together, which begins a multi-day canoe journey from Nanoose Bay back home to Tseycum. Organizer Jennifer Jones says a collection of canoes and paddlers representing local first nations, police agencies and other public service groups will be taking the journey, starting on July 4. Jones and a few of her canoe team mates gathered at the Pat Bay Trading Post with the PNR to talk about the effort. Pulling Together, Jones said, helps link first nations with other people and organizations to help dispel myths and overcome stereotypes.

When the Pulling Together canoe journey ends its coastal trip at the Tseycum First Nation on July 10, West Saanich Road will be closed to traffic. • The road closure starts between 9 and 9:30 a.m. • The road is expected to reopen between 3:30 and 4 p.m. Only emergency services vehicles and B.C. Transit buses will get through.
“This is about strengthening relationships between first nations, service agencies and youth,” added team member Vivian Williams (she also paddles with a canoe racing team on the Saanich Peninsula). “Our team here started back in 2007,” she said. “Pulling Together had contacted us and wanted to use our community as one of the stops on the journey. They also invited us
to come along, as one of the hosts. Chief and council here gave us the go-ahead.” Jones said a team was formed over two to three months — and very few of the paddlers had ever been in a canoe before. That first trip for the Tseycum team was in a 1,300-pound dugout canoe. “We really had to know what we were doing,” she said. Yet, the experience was so rewarding for Jones that she stayed involved with the program until she moved to Toronto for three summers. Having returned to Tseycum, Jones said she saw that the effort had died down and is now restarting the team. These days, they have a more modern, lighter canoe and have the 15 people needed to paddle it over the nine days of the journey. Jones said youth participation is vital — not only teaching them about traditions on the water and about neighbouring nations, but to give them the skills to work with others and then
pass them on to the next generation. “We want to teach youth,” Jones continued, “that they can have a positive impact from within different agencies.” On Friday, the Tseycum paddlers and more than 300 people from other communities and organizations, set off from the Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose Bay ) Nation. They will paddle all day south to the Snuneymuxw (Nanaimo) and Stz’uminus (Chemainus) nations. From there, the canoe teams visit communities in Crofton, Cowichan Bay, Malahat and back to the Saanich Peninsula. Jones said there will be songs and official protocol at each stop along the way. The journey also includes a visit to Sidney Spit and Tulista Park in Sidney on July 9 between 1 and 3 p.m. then they visit the Tsawout First Nation before ending Pulling Together at Tseycum on July 10 with canoe races, games and closing ceremonies. Everyone, said Jones, is welcome to share in the fun and connections between communities.

Erosion undercutting the west side of West Saanich Road News staff
Two years after starting repairs of the bank along West Saanich Road at Pat Bay, crews are back this week, shoring up the area against erosion. Until July 9, traffic will face short stoppages as trucks and excavators place rocks along the west side of the road at the Tseycum First Nation. Ian Bruce of Peninsula Streams says that side of the route is being eroded away. To keep it intact in the long term, he said the bank is being reinforced with rip rap, gravel and natural plants and the beach itself will be raised with a new layer of sand and gravel. The goal, he said, is to prevent further undercutting of the bank and better distribution of wave action and sediment along the beach. “It wasn’t a question of if the bank would erode, but when,” Bruce said. Peninsula Streams is working with the Tseycum Nation, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Highways, the BC Shore Spawners Alliance and Sea Watch Society and the Pacific Salmon Foundation to fund and complete the project. It started in 2012 with the planning stage, and is a continuation of work Bruce said was completed south of the current work site. “We saw a chance to work with (the agencies) on restoring the beach and doing the bank work at the same time,” he said. Bruce said they found the rock being used along the bank from a construction project near the Victoria General Hospital, saving money on material and hauling. Woody debris is also being used to add stability to the bank. There will be beach access points left behind when the work is done, Bruce added, as well as space for interpretive signs that explain local First Nations interests in the Pay Bay area. The current phase, he said, will cost an estimated $300,000. Bruce said additional work will be required further north of the job site, pointing out many place where trees and earth have been severely undercut by storm surges and tidal action. That area, he said, needs to be on the District of North Saanich’s radar as erosion there will eventually cut into the stability of West Saanich Road at that point.

Children couldn’t wait to use the new playground equipment at Tulista Park on June 28. Sidney Lions Club President Bill DesLauriers, left, and Sidney Mayor Larry Cross cut the ribbon on the expanded playground, created in a partnership between the Town and the local Lions.
Current Superintendent of Schools for the Saanich School District Nancy Macdonald has announced her retirement. Macdonald, who has been a member of the District’s leadership team for the last eight years, made the decision recently after it was announced former superintendent Keven Elder would return to the District from his secondment to the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. “It was really just the right time for me,” said Macdonald in an interview with the PNR. “I had been thinking about a retirement date for a while now and in the back of my mind I was contemplating six more months
Highway 17 overpass to be built in 2015 council nEWS
Town of Sidney - Monday, June 23, 2014 • Sidney and other partners will be paying an estimated $1.25 million and the province an additional $1 million towards a new pedestrian overpass of Highway 17 near Beacon Avenue. Construction is scheduled to begin in April 2015. Sidney’s other partners are the Victoria Airport Authority ($100,000) and possibly ICBC ($50,000). • Searching for land titles or documents and plans related to development in Sidney will now cost between $12 and $17 per search. • The Town has amended its not-for-profit definition in
their fees and charges policy. Lower rates will now only apply to non-profit events operated by a charity, for a charity. Staff states that anything in a grey area would be at council’s discretion.
• Municipal funding of the Peninsula Celebrations Society, Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula and Beacon Community Services have been made line items in the Town’s annual budget. This removes them from the applicationbased grants-in-aid system and enshrines them in the budget. The grant money they currently receive, $13,000 in total, will be rolled back into the grants program. • Sidney will post council and senior staff pay and expenses on its website. In
2013, Mayor Larry Cross earned $22,098, and was paid $6,988 for municipal businessrelated expenses. Each of the councillors received $8,826, plus expenses ranging from zero (Tim Chad, Marilyn Loveless) to $6,024 (Steve Price). The top salaries in the municipality (all those over $75,000) will also be listed. Seventeen people on that list make from $77,536 at one end of the scale, to $168,748 at the other. • Sidney will pay $104,689 for mandated closed-circuit video monitoring at the Sidney North Saanich RCMP detachment. The Town pays up front and will be reimbursed by the RCMP. The video equipment was mandated by the province to improve accountability and safety. — Steven Heywood

OUR VIEW
Pot tax change better for towns
T
here’s a year’s grace built in to new provincial rules that medical marijuana production facilities should be taxed at industrial rates, rather than at lower agricultural ones. This time frame is a good thing, considering the potential for legal challenges from potential producers who bought land or built facilities based partly on their expectations for taxation. There is going to be some fallout from the tax classification change so far after the fact that some producers are already in operation and now face a sudden increase in their annual operating costs. There’s also that discrepancy to be worked out: growing medical marijuana is now a legal agricultural product within B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve. Farmers (yes, even legal pot farmers) expect to be able to operate at a certain tax rate. Change that, and their margins narrow. This provincial policy should have been announced at the same time the federal government’s allowance for medical marijuana production came into effect — because on the face of it, the taxation change is not a bad idea. Ever since federal rules around medical pot production changed, people have worried about the social, environmental and economic impacts or large scale, industrial-type production operations. Many have lobbied for governments at any level to class this as an industrial, rather than agricultural, use of land. Or at least imposed the heavier regulations of industrial zones upon the growers. And it would have made perfect sense to introduce industrial tax rates with that change. For municipalities facing the social fallout in allowing large-scale medical marijuana production facilities, the higher tax rate will help offset the greater impact of the operations. The timing may be off, but the reasoning is sound.

Modern treaty holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision. One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead? None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s. One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily and never challenged by any other aboriginal group. Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial. Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent. They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through.

In these particular real world circumstances, a subdivision authorization is quite logical. This does not, by any means, make it easy for would be developers to deliberately downgrade their properties in order to make a quick buck. To suggest so,
as these writers have, is to profess profound ignorance of what is involved in the subdivision process and its associated costs. Furthermore, while it is true that staff recommended against subdivision, when the APC examined the governing bylaw, they found
that the lot did, in fact, meet the minimum size requirement of a third of an acre. The fact is that years earlier, North Saanich staff erred in conversion math from imperial to metric, thereby artificially increasing the mandated lot size to more than a third of an acre. Staff stated they were bound by the (false) metric size, hence their recommendation. Commonsense, basic math and fairness formed the basis for the APC’s unanimous recommendation to council. It is a sad thing all three writers omitted simple fact checking and opted for the currently popular North
Readers respond: Common sense subdivision; pipeline reaction Which section of the OCP covers this? Further to the recent letters in the PNR regarding the common sense of subdivisions, North Saanich residents might be interested to know that this is the fourth such subdivision in the southeast quadrant — all approved using similar logic: a family has two kids and therefore would like two lots. Or: people don’t want large properties anymore; it’s a lot of work to look after a big property; people could use a bit of cash in their pockets; the property has gone to rack and ruin, and; it’s a terribly run-down place. Which section of the Official Community Plan was used as a guide in these decisions? Heather Gartshore North Saanich
Common sense plays into the decision As member of the North
in the OCP and by public consultation. I suppose you could call that a common sense approach. The condition of the lot had no influence on my decision, the decision was solely based on neighbourhood input and land use issues. To indicate I or any member of the APC could be hoodwinked by a developer who simply made his lot an eyesore is quite frankly insulting. And yes, common sense does play a part in it. In making decisions on the APC there is a line from the OCP that I consider, that any new development should maintain the character of the neighbourhood. There are two of these in-fill lots on Ebor Terrace. Anyone doubting this kind of decision to rezone should drive down the street and try to identify the two R1 lots. You will not be able to. Mike Stanlake North Saanich
Saanich Advisory Planning Commission I take exception to the authors who characterize the decision to subdivide the property on Bourne Terrace as improper or ill-conceived. There was overwhelming neighbourhood support. I put much greater weight on the opinions of those who live there. The newly-created lot would therefore have full frontage on Bexley and match the look of the other houses. To ensure the house matched the neighbourhood a covenant was placed on the new lot that any construction would conform to R2 zoning. The lot met the size requirement for subdivision. Section 6.0 of the OCP sets the size of R1 at “1,400 m2 or 15,065 square feet or 0.33 acres.” That math is wrong, 0.33 acres is actually only 1,335 square meters. The minimum lot size was arbitrarily increased in the metric conversion. I chose to base my decision on the .33 acres, a number that is supported
Pipeline helps us all Re: Voters will remember
pipeline approval, PNR June 27. Your correspondent ignores the Harper government’s approval of the National Energy Board’s recommendations concerning the Northern Gateway project is conditional on the proponents meeting 209 requirements. It is the logical next step in a defined process applicable to all such projects. It would be irresponsible for Cabinet to have ignored the outcome of these long and expensive deliberations. As for the contention the government is putting the interests of the few over the majority, it is important to remember that for the sake of Canada’s economic and social health we need to diversify the markets for our landlocked energy resources.

the tendency of modern journalists to abandon hard fact for sensationalism.) Mr. Glover and the other writers, in their rush to castigate Councilor Browne, have chosen to ignore the truths underpinning his comments. To whit; there were approximately 30 letters from neighbors written in support of the proposed subdivision. As the last un-built lot in the neighborhood, it had become something of a dumping ground and an eyesore, as was pointed out by one neighbor to Councilor Browne and the members of the Advisory Planning Committee during a site visit.

Not one of these writers bothered to make any reference to the actual facts. Most disturbing was Mr. Glover’s failure to do so. Mr. Glover, according to his web profile, has a long history in print journalism.

NEWS REVIEW
Team Pier is ready to get between the sheets
Sidney hotel Bed Races team challenges other businesses to take part in the return of a classic event Steven Heywood News staff
If you thought there just wasn’t anything fun
to do in your bed anymore, guess again. Crawl in between the sheets, have a few friends get on either
side of you and let the mad dash begin. The Bed Races on Beacon are coming to Sidney on Sunday,
August 17. Witness teams of five to 10 people dress up in costume and push hospital beds down the main drag in Sidney. The event is being run by the Rest Haven Lodge and is a fundraiser for their palliative care unit. Brenda Hennigar, executive director of the Rest Haven Foundation, says they are hoping for 20 teams — plus more for the kids’ and parents’ stroller races. The first team off the blocks is from the Sidney Pier Hotel. They got dressed up for a PNR photo for this story but team captain Kenny Podmore says they have something special planned for race day. For now, their costume theme will remain a mystery. Podmore has issued a challenge to businesses and families in the community to join in the fun. He’s pretty confident his team is going to do well. “The Pier is going to win all of the awards,” he boasted. “We’ll even be faster that all the fire departments around here.” Hennigar said there will be prizes for team spirit, best costumes and more for the kids in the stroller races. Podmore said Team Pier got on board right away because it’s a fun community event — and a good cause. “We’re in it because of the cause,” he said. “I
see this as being a start to an annual event.” Henniger said the bed races bring back a classic family event to Sidney and she hopes it will grow from these new beginnings. The Bed Races on Beacon run 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 17, on Bea-
con Avenue from Fifth Street to Third Street. The road will be closed to all traffic, save the hospital beds. To get your team signed up, or for more information, call 250656-0717, ext. 428. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Weave collection comes to Central Saanich
Salish Weave Collection gifts school district 18 serigraphs CENTRAL SAANICH — At a recent Board of Education meeting for the Saanich School District, the Board was gifted 18 limited edition serigraphs that are part of the Salish Weave Collection. The Salish Weave Collection is a private collection of contemporary Coast Salish art that weaves together established and emerging First Nations artists. The collection was donated by George and Christiane Smyth through the University of Victoria and gifted to the Saanich School District by Dr. Andrea Walsh, a North Saanich resident. The series includes works by a number of artists including Susan Point and Chris Paul (Tsartlip First Nation). The prints will be used in aid of the District’s Education Enhancement Agreement that aims to
increase the respect and understanding for WSANEC, other First Nations, Metis and Inuit culture and history. “The Board of Education is honoured
to receive and share this collection with our students, staff and WSANEC people,” said the Saanich School District Board Chair, Wayne Hunter.

Aboriginal communities across B.C. are celebrating a court ruling that redefines ownership of their traditional territory outside reserves. The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s claim to aboriginal title over the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, in a landmark ruling with effects on land claims across the province. In a unanimous decision, the court rejected the B.C. government’s argument that aboriginal title should be
restricted to settlement sites and other places frequently occupied by semi-nomadic aboriginal people before European contact. Joe Alphonse, tribal chief of the Tsilhqot’in Nation, said the ruling is a victory in a struggle that had its roots in deadly conflict with a wave of gold seekers during the 1860s. He said the communities need more control over resources to support more people living on reserves. “We didn’t fight in this case to separate from Canada,” Alphonse told a news conference in Ottawa Thursday. “We fought

SALT SPRING ISLAND — The B.C. Marine Trails Network celebrated the building of a world class initiative for British Columbia on June 21. Approximately 85 paddlers and supporters of the B.C. Marine Trails from all over Vancouver Island and the lower mainland converged in a huge flotilla of kayaks, canoes and other small boats on a newly-established B.C. Marine Trails campsite at Musgrave Point on Salt Spring Island. Once there, they raised the B.C. Marine Trails’ first sign — to be followed by more throughout the summer. Potentially the longest water trail in the world, the B.C. coastline is approximately 27,000 kilometers in its entire length. The B.C. Marine Trails Network is designed to maintain access to marine waterways that were first used by first nations thousands of years ago. Still using these same routes, recreational paddlers and other small boat users of today have joined the first nations on B.C.’s marine ways. Because of growing pressures from commercial and private interests however, continued access to launching areas and campsites is increasingly threatened. In partnership with B.C.’s Recreation Sites and Trails Branch, and with the collaboration and support of B.C. Parks and National Parks, the B.C. Marine Trails Network Association is building a legacy project. By working to secure access

thesis that only specific, intensively occupied areas can support aboriginal title,” the eight Supreme Court of Canada justices agreed in a unanimous ruling released Thursday. The Tsilhqot’in case was strengthened by evidence that “prior to the assertion of sovereignty the Tsilhqot’in people repelled other people from their land and demanded permission from outsiders who wished to pass over it,” the judges wrote. The case began in 1983 when the B.C. government issued timber permits for the region and the Xeni Gwet’in, one of six Tsilhqot’in communities, went to court to stop the logging. Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said the Tsilhqot’in case strengthens his Island community’s title claim, which is being prepared for court. The Haida claim includes the surrounding ocean off B.C.’s North Coast, which Lantin expects to use against plans for oil tankers from the Enbridge Northern
Gateway proposal. Despite the longrunning dispute and the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s refusal to take part in treaty talks, the B.C. Aboriginal Relations Ministry signed a three-year “stewardship agreement” with the group June 10. The agreement gives the Tsilhqot’in $670,000 per year to implement a forestry strategy and other resource development. B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the Tsilhqot’in ruling, like other aboriginal title cases, emphasizes that negotiated settlements are preferable to court action to settle claims in the majority of the province that are not covered by treaties. NDP leader John Horgan said the decision shows the B.C. government should have accepted the 2007 decision by B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Vickers. “Instead, the B.C. Liberal government wasted millions of scarce tax dollars and created seven more years of uncertainty for investors and communities, by blindly pursuing a legal theory that was unanimously and soundly rejected today by the Supreme Court of Canada,” Horgan said.

Bayside student headed to junior golf worlds SIDNEY — A local girl is headed to San Diego next week to show off her golf skills. Cindy Koria, 11, recently qualified to play in the Callaway Junior World Golf Championships as a member of Team Canada. The Grade 7 Bayside Middle School student will compete at the Worlds, being held in San Diego, California next weekend and into
next week. In its inaugural year in 1968, 475 juniors participated in the Junior Worlds event representing seven countries and 20 states. Today, the tournament has grown to 1,200 participants representing 56 countries and 42 states. It is the largest international event of its kind in the world and is unique for its international representation
Volunteers needed at Maber Flats CENTRAL SAANICH — The Nature Conservancy of Canada and Peninsula Streams are calling on volunteers who like to get their hands dirty to help eradicate an invasive plant from Maber Flats. Purple loosestrife was discovered at Maber Flats in Central Saanich two weeks ago. This is the first evidence of this hardy perennial which can rapidly choke out native species and degrade the natural ecology of a wetland. Purple loosestrife must be removed quickly in order to protect the
habitat of numerous species of plants, birds, mammals, reptiles, insects and amphibians that rely on Maber Flats for their survival. The volunteer event takes place on two days: Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5. Interested volunteers can meet at the end of Willow Way, off Keating Cross Road.Bring gardening gloves and gumboots. Tools, coffee and snacks will be provided. To register and for more information, visit www.conservationvolunteers.ca or call 1‐888‐404‐8428. — Submitted
