A question of rights Disabled rights advocate says province not obeying United Nations agreement

Drew McLachlan News staff

The Esquimalt Village Project’s remediation plan was given the green light by Esquimalt council last week, making project funding the next step before the project moves ahead. First pitched to Esquimalt council in 2008, the project aims to revitalize the town core by providing residents with additional amenities and services, focusing on both community recreational needs and economic development. Its proposed location is the area surrounding 1235 Esquimalt Road, former home to the public works yard and municipal hall, and will be comprised of both municipally and privately-owned property. The site also incorporates Bullen Park, the Public Safety Building, and the Archie Browning Sports Centre and parking lot. Should funding be approved, SLR Consulting will be granted a $200,000 contract to complete remediation this fall, allowing the project to obtain a certificate of compliance from the Ministry of Environment. Municipal staff will be applying for federal and provincial grants which would cover half the cost of funding. “It is important that we maintain momentum on the Esquimalt Village Project,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins. “This is an important next step in the process.” A timeline for the implementation of the Village Project has not yet been established.

Steven Palmer is challenging the province’s decision not to fund a $5,000 wheelchair. He says the decion contravenes the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The province disagrees.

A Victoria disabled rights advocate is accusing the provincial government of not following the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities after officials refused to fully fund a specialized wheelchair. Steven Palmer said despite receiving a doctor’s prescription for a rigid wheelchair, the B.C. government won’t permit spending more than $1,500 on a wheelchair. A rigid wheelchair costs about $5,000. Rigid wheelchairs provide greater mobility and “The very fact flexibility for people with they’ve gotten physical disabilities, as compared to electric or away with this manual wheelchairs. for so many years “It would make my life so much easier,” Palmer and still refuse to said. “It’s a safer option acknowledge they for maneuvering on the street and when travel- are in violation of ling.” the convention is The United Nations Convention on the disturbing.” Rights of Persons with – Steven Palmer Disabilities was signed by Canada in March 2010. Under Section 20, the convention requires signing nations to give disabled people the option, with their doctor, to decide what they need, not based on what government is willing to pay. Palmer said the federal government has failed to implement the international treaty by requiring provinces to comply with the provisions. “The convention is a very serious document,” said Palmer, an advocate with the Disabled Rights Alliance, who has lived with polio for more than 60 years.

“The very fact they’ve gotten away with this for so many years and still refuse to acknowledge they are in violation of the convention is disturbing.” Palmer has received the backing of Victoria MP Murray Rankin and Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming who have called on the federal and provincial governments to properly fund the wheelchair request. So far, no response has been received. “It’s going to make a big difference

in a lot of people’s lives because if we can set a precedent here, and establish the fact the provincial government is obligated to provide this type of equipment, then it’s going to be easier for other people to get the equipment too,” Palmer said. A spokesman for the B.C. Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation said the ministry’s poicies are consistent with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities klaird@blackpress.ca

Tourism eyes bigger numbers for next year Industry bouncing back after battling through economic downturn Kevin Laird News staff

More than two million tourists are expected to visit the region this year, but Tourism Victoria is already casting its eyes on the future.

Tourist numbers have been encouraging through spring, buoyed by a strong cruise ship season, and as July arrives, tourists from throughout the Pacific Northwest and other locales are expected to arrive in near record numbers. “We’re seeing some encouraging results from the short and longterm,” said Paul Nursey, Tourism Victoria’s CEO and president. “What we’re doing now is setting up very strongly for 2015 – to grow and diversify the business.” Recently, Tourism Victoria

announced a restructuring that put a greater emphasis on core business areas including sales and marketing, business development, member services and visitor services. There was also some staff restructuring. “Tourism Victoria is foremost a sales and marketing organization and all business decisions must keep this filter in mind,” Nursey said. “We are focused on generating demand for this destination. Our membership is growing and the tourism-related business commu-

nity is responding well to what we offer.” Tourism Victoria operates on a $4.5-million budget and has more than 1,000 members. Overall, tourism is an easy sell in Victoria, Nursey said, but it is sometimes taken for granted. The industry recently went through several years of economic downturn but now looks as if it is returning to historical numbers. The challenge now, Nursey said, is to convince tourism operators to reinvest in the product to keep

tourists returning. “(Victoria’s) a fantastic destination,” he said. “We just need to give it a strong push.” Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin likes the approach Tourism Victoria is taking both in its approach to the market and in the increase in the number of visitors to the capital city. “I like the fact this organization is industry led and the model is proving successful. Can it improve? Sure. It can always get better,” Fortin said. klaird@blackpress.ca

‘Catch the spirit’ at Commonwealth Games reunion Travis Paterson News staff

Don Denton/News staff

Standing tall Stilt walker Emma Zabloski laughs as she works at attaching her oversize hat to her head while getting dressed to greet participants and spectators on the lawn of the B.C. legislature for a ceremony and festival celebrating the 27th Sri Chimnoy Oneness-Home Peace Run. The run is the longest torch relay run in the world and travels 16,000 kilometres across North America.

Saanich’s benefits from the Victoria 1994 Commonwealth Games are easy to see, and it’s almost time for those who experienced the motto “Catch the Spirit” to re-live it at the Pacific Institute of Sport Excellence on Aug. 23. The 20th anniversary party for the Victoria 1994 Commonwealth Games gave us the ‘Commonwealth Kids’ generation, led by Claremont secondary came Olympic diver Riley McCormick and twotime Olympic medalist swimmer Ryan Cochrane. They grew up in Saanich Commonwealth Place, benefitting from the high performance programs in place thanks to the 1994 games and are are going to this summer’s 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, July 23 to Aug. 4. “The spirit lives on,” said Jim Reed, who was the executive vice-president of the 1994 CWG. “It’s a family reunion. We expect two to three thousand people to show up. There were 14,000 volunteers, organizers and athletes during the ‘94 games, and the event was a turning point for sport in the Capital Region and the country, Reed said.

Did you know? n The official mascot of the 1994 Commonwealth Games was an Orca named Klee Wyck, meaning the laughing one, which was a nickname given to Canadian painter and sculptor Emily Carr by the Ucluelet First Nation. n Canada finished second in the medal count with 129 – 40 gold, 42 silver and 47 bronze. n The 1994 CWG also brought Greater Victoria the Westshore Velodrome. Bringing the Commonwealth Game to Victoria was a cross-municipal endeavour with Saanich solidifying the bid by building Saanich Commonwealth Place. It took a lot of hard work, recalled then Saanich mayor Murray Coell, who’ll be on hand at the anniversary party. “We had a good partnership with the federal and provincial governments who brought money to the table, and we’d just completed a Saanich community referendum which voted in favour of a new recreation centre, so we

put it all together building Commonwealth Place. “The Commonwealth Games will always be a major part of my life, being on that board of directors, met so many wonderful people, my den still has 1994 memorabilia.” The 60-year-old Coell is winding down after 28 years of elected office, during which time he was a Saanich councillor and mayor, before becoming a Liberal MLA. “There was an energy the Commonwealth Games created that I experienced again as part of Gordon Campbell’s cabinet getting the 2010 Olympics. They both create such positive legacies for people and communities, a big part of your life.” PISE is among the most recent additions to the Victoria high performance athletic community, built from the legacy of the 1994 Commonwealth Games. Volunteers from Victoria 1994 CWG are invited to wear the teal coloured jumper and join the anniversary party at PISE on Aug. 23. It will feature the return of mascot Klee Wyck, CWG athletes from 1994 and 2014, and demos by Rugby Canada and the Victoria Highlanders. editor@vicnews.com

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 country’s highest 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 Euro-

“We fought in this case to get recognized, to be treated as equals in a meaningful way.” – Chief Joe Alphonse pean 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 in this case to get recognized, to be treated as equals in a meaningful way.”

Settlement sites and others used for hunting and fishing were exhaustively studied in a 2003 B.C. court case that granted broad title but was later overturned by the B.C. Court of Appeal. “The province’s criticisms of the trial judge’s findings on the facts are primarily rooted in the erroneous 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. editor@vicnews.com

Victoria clergy have condemned the federal government’s proposed prostitution laws, criticizing what they consider to be a disregard for the welfare and human rights of sex workers. Bill C-36, titled the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act, is before the House of Commons. The bill was introduced after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled the current laws regarding prostitution to be unconstitutional last December. Rev. Bruce Bryant-

Scott referred to the legislative bill as a “rewording of old legislation.” “It infringes upon the human rights of sex workers to health, safety, and life,” BryantScott said. “It disregards the issues raised by the Supreme Court of Canada when it struck down the provisions of the Criminal Code that targets sex workers. This does not further the welfare of sex workers, but continues their marginalization.” Bryant-Scott clarified that the Anglican Church continues to uphold marriage as the ideal and normative place for sexual rela-

tions, but that he considers the added risk that would be brought on by the bill to be “immoral.” He also criticized the lack of consultation with sex workers and advocates, as well as the discriminatory nature of the legislation. “This bill continues to criminalize poverty,” he said, “especially amongst indigenous peoples, youth coming from government care, women with disabilities, and low-income single mothers.” Bryant-Scott’s release was signed by 34 ministers, as well as two University of Victoria professors, among oth-

ers. He made note that half of the signatures were from women, and

Some day soon the rain will stop, and we will venture outdoors to do dour bit in making Victoria “the Garden City”. Before setting out to tame your own personal wilderness, stop and think about your eyes (and other body parts). Pruning and trimming can be hazardous. A branch snapping back and hitting the eye can cause mechanical damage and possibly toxic reaction or infection. A projectile, from a weedeater or lawnmower, Dr. Paul Neumann can also cause serious damage to your body. Perhaps you use an arsenalOptometrist or herbicides and pesticides to help control your garden? Or you have a OPTOMETRY CLINIC www.cseyecare.com pool which requires chlorine? These chemicals aren’t eye-friendly either. If you do splash a chemical in the #1 - 7865 Patterson Rd. Saanichton eye, flush the eye immediately with vast, huge, enormous quantities of clean cold water; then go to Emergency if necessary. The good news is that eye protection is simple and inexpensive. Safety glasses and goggles that fit over prescription glasses are all that is required, and you can find them in your local hardware store. Our local eye surgeons would rather spend their weekends with their families than treating ocular injuries that are easily prevented. Have a happy and safe spring and summer.

OUR VIEW

Taxing time for politicians Pity the poor politician – even when they do a good job they get criticized. They just can’t win. As the City of Victoria marks its lowest tax increase in 14 years (a mere 2.5 per cent), there still remains criticism that it’s not enough. A recent story in the Victoria News highlighted that downtown shopping malls are the city’s highest-paying taxpayers. Mayfair Shopping Centre alone coughed up nearly $4.2 million last year. Some believe more cash should be coming from industrial sectors. And then there’s the residential taxpayer. Not all will see that 2.5 per cent on their tax bill. Some have reported more than a nine per cent hike. The reason? Property values have increased in some city neighbourhoods which could be producing higher tax bills. The good news, for some at least, is that 2.5 per cent could be lower in other areas of the city. Even better news: If you’re selling your home in those property value rich areas, you could cash in now if you’re ready to sell. Yet as city taxpayers we should look at this in a more pragmatic manner. In the last year, the city issued more than $300 million in new construction permits. The benefit of the new construction will produce an extra $3 million to $5 million in additional tax revenue next year and the years ahead. Read: lower taxes. The city has also been more prudent in recent year by putting away money in a reserve fund that will help with new infrastructure facilities and improvements. There are many areas within the political spectrum in Victoria deserves criticism (sewage and the Johnston Street Bridge) come to mind, but city council’s efforts to reduce taxes at least should get a passing grade for effort. Council could take more lessons from Langford on reducing taxes, but at least this is a step in the right direction. And this current round of criticism seems unjustified. What do you think?

Proper bike lanes lacking A letter to all municipalities in the Capital Regional District. Remove all bicycle lanes that share the road with automobile traffic in the CRD. They are a major headache for motorized vehicle drivers; road construction crews who know not where to place their signs; and, to cyclists who are given a false sense of security that a bicycle lane is continuous and not blocked with road hazards. The designation as a bike route must mean something, some indication that the street is somewhat safer than the unsigned streets. The roads at many locations in the CRD are not bicycle friendly. It leaves very little room for a cyclist to maneuver, very little margin for error. Sure, a skilled cyclist can pass in safety, but roads should be safe for the ordinary cyclist. The only safe way to provide cycling routes is to make them completely separate from motorized vehicles and pedestrians. There are no safe zones for cyclists only -- to ride unimpeded by automobiles or pedestrians in the CRD. Pedestrians complain about cyclists on the Galloping Goose and Braeside trails. Bollards planted in the middle of bicycle-lanes on the Galloping Goose trail make for dangerous riding in the early morning or late evening. On roads, cyclists are looking for pot holes, road debris, animals,

pedestrians and motorized vehicles (not at bicycle signs mounted three metres up in the air) Municipalities that promote cycling have a higher duty to provide a higher standard of safety for the welfare of cyclists. Several courts have found that the reasonable state of repair required for cyclists may be different from that required for cars. It is unfortunate that our cities in the CRD have provided bike lanes that do not meet the standards that our courts of law are recommending. It could be said that the CRD municipalities are opening themselves to excessive lawsuits given their desire to have a (politically motivated) painted line on the road for cyclists.

Editorial ‘offensive and shocking’ Re: Year-end strike unethical (Our View, June 18) The recent attack on teachers is disappointing to me. I find the term “unethical,” “selfserving” and “detrimental” offensive and and shocking. As a middle school band and French teacher, I put in on average a nine-hour day at school, answer emails, prepare lessons and mark in the evenings, run three concert bands, plus a choir and performance band, plan and execute concerts

and retreats, which includes giving up my weekend, give up time on the weekend to fundraise for my students, especially for those who cannot afford to participate otherwise; the list goes on. My classrooms, both French and band, are loaded with designated students, including seven out of 28 in one class and only one educational assistant. I spend my own money for supplies not offered by my school, I regularly work more than 100 per cent of what I am paid, yet I am being called self-serving? What is it going to take for this government to realize that children are our future, and that teachers care profoundly about our students, both in and out of school? There isn’t one teacher on a picket line who hasn’t expressed sadness and frustration about not having a proper goodbye to our students. I’ve taught many of my students for all three years in middle school and most of them are like family. What is detrimental and unethical is having our right to class size and composition stripped, losing 10 per cent of my salary because I am not doing 100 per cent of my job, and making it more and more difficult to sustain a reasonable teaching environment. This editor obviously hasn’t stepped into a classroom recently because he has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. Catherine Robillard Victoria

Frequent payday loan reliance among users: poll Jeff Nagel Black Press

Two-thirds of payday loan users in the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria resort to the high-cost lenders at least three times a year, according to a new poll. The Insights West survey was conducted for Vancity Credit Union, which has launched its own lower cost loan offering for payday loan users. The poll found 35 per cent of users took out payday loans at least once a month, while another 32 per cent said a few times per year. The main reasons given were having an unexpected expense, getting behind on bills or because a debt came due. Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said he was surprised by the frequent use of

high-cost payday loans among those surveyed. “There’s no light at the end of the tunnel if you’re relying on these services several times a year,” he said. “You may be happy you’ve subdued some of the debts you have, but down the road it’s really going to get you.” More than 100,000 B.C. residents – about three per cent of the adult population – took out 800,000 payday loans in 2013, according to Consumer Protection B.C. Vancity vice-president Linda Morris said the credit union’s new Fair & Fast Loan is a lowcost alternative to help members who might otherwise turn to payday loans get out of the cycle of debt and rebuild their credit history. Members can borrow $300 for a minimum two-month term

and pay it off after two weeks at a total cost of $2.20, equivalent to a 19 per cent annual interest rate. In contrast, B.C. legislation lets payday lenders could charge a maximum of $69 on the same $300 loan, equivalent to a 600 per cent annual interest rate. The maximum Vancity will loan is $1,500 and the ability to repay over two years in addition to the credit union’s more lenient approval criteria is pitched as a way for borrowers in financial trouble to repair damaged credit ratings.

Ultra-marathoner Rob Smith: “I really don’t know what drove me other than the challenge.”

Running to extremes Victoria ultra-marathon Rob Smith wins 200-mile challenge race in U.S. Kevin Laird News staff

Rob Smith hit the 100-mile mark and began to puke. At 105 miles, blisters covered his feet and were so painful it felt like someone was hammering a nail through them. But the Victoria ultra-marathoner kept motivated – even positive – as he thought about the remaining 95 miles he needed to endure the gruelling 200-mile Pigtails Challenge in Renton, Wash. His tenacity paid off as he won the race in 52 hours and 32 minutes, beating his personal best from a year ago by 5.5 hours. Not bad for a 56 year old. “I really don’t know what drove me other than the challenge,” Smith, an ambulance paramedic, said over coffee at a downtown Victoria Starbucks. “It’s a challenge of out there and beyond where most people look and never go. There’s a lot of satisfaction in knowing I can do it.” The Pigtails Challenge is run around Lake Young Watershed, which is a rolling loop with 900 feet of elevation gain on each loop. Each loop is 9.4 mile. Runners race one direction and then run the opposite way. It’s difficult to tell, or remember, whether, you’ve lapped a runner or who remains ahead of you. The races are determined by attrition, Smith said: “People who were ahead of me at the start were dropping out and I didn’t even know

it. I just concentrated on running my own race. There was no sense trying to run faster. Trying to pay attention where everyone else was would just be distracting.” The first day was a “real mental battle,” but Smith had run the race before and knew night would soon descend and bring its own set of mental and physical challenges. “I knew all I needed to do was focus on the here and now. You just have to survive the night and see what’s there in the morning. You always feel better the next morning,” he said. When dawn broke, Smith learned just two runners had leads on him. His first 100-mile split was 25 minutes faster than the previous year, and he was now in a position to win. In the end, his strategy worked. Smith doesn’t consider himself a lifelong runner. He didn’t even run his first marathon – a mere 26.2 miles – until 1986. He said the most he’d run regularly before then was about three miles, but was lucky to have a job as a logger

that kept him in top shape. He fell in love with ultra-marathoning when he and a buddy took on the Great Walk between Gold River and Tahsis in 1995. He was hooked. Since then, he has competed in two 200-mile races, thirteen 100-mile races and numerous other smaller ultra-marathons. Heading into this year’s Pigtails race, Smith had no grand ambition to finish first. His goal was to finish. After all, last year’s winner Daniel Kuhlmann was the favourite to take it again. Smith’s big year of running hasn’t ended just yet. He’s still planning to run a handful of 50 and 100 mile races before the end of the year. And he has plans, some day, to run the 310-mile length of Vancouver Island through a series of trails. “I really don’t see that I’m doing anything special,” he said. “I understand what my limits are, but it’s that ability to be able to get as much as I can out of myself and not giving in.” klaird@blackpress.ca

Rob Smith got a lot of help from friends, family Rob Smith knew he couldn’t run 200 miles alone. The Victoria ultra-marathon won the Pigtails Challenge race by getting a lot of help along the way. Friend and former worker partner Randy L’Heureux spent the entire race with Smith running every second lap. He ran more than 100 miles (161 kilometres) supporting Smith. “He allowed me to keep my mind where it needed to be in the race,” Smith recalled. His full focus was on me. That was pretty

spectacular to have that kind of support.” There were others along the way too – many who didn’t even travel to Renton – his personal trainer, physiotherapist and doctor. His wife has always been supportive of his running, even though she isn’t a runner. Then there’s other Victoria ultra-mathoners from Victoria like Rob Grant, Moe Beaulieu and Mike Suminski. “I don’t do anything in isolation. There’s nothing I’ve ever accomplished with a lot of support from the people around me.”
