NANAIMO MEN signed up en masse to join armed conflict between European powers. BY TAMARA CUNNINGHAM THE NEWS BULLETIN
Nanaimo’s sons were going to war. On Aug. 20, 1914 –less than three weeks after Britain declared war on Germany – 19 British Army reservists prepared for the trip to England. The Brigade band led a parade from city hall to the wharf with half the city’s population following behind to wish the men a safe return. Wives, families and friends held the men tight until the very moment they had to board the steamer. From his place on the wharf, Mayor Albert Planta gave them an official farewell. “Men of the Reserve,” he said. “In the name of the citizens of Nanaimo I bid you Godspeed. Those of you who leave wives and families behind ... feel no anxiety with regard to them for I can assure you that the city will be proud to take care of them while you are at the front.” The mayor called for three cheers for the men, which was given with great enthusiasm, according to an old Nanaimo Free Press article. The men replied with three “lusty cheers” of their own and struck up the strains of Auld Lang Syne as the steamboat pulled away from the harbour. “For all of these young men it was an adventure,” said Brian McFadden, vice-president of the Vancouver Island Military Museum. “They had no idea what they were getting into.” A hundred years ago this week, the world broke out into its first global conflict. One month after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on July 28, 1914, AustriaHungary declared war on Serbia. See ‘COMMUNITY’ /4

Tubbers tie for first place in annual Bathtub race BY GREG SAKAKI THE NEWS BULLETIN
Two men and their tubs tied for first place. Nathan Barlow and Shawn Lamoureux, both multiple-time champions, rang the bell at the same time to win the Great International World Championship Bathtub Race on Sunday afternoon at Nanaimo’s Departure Bay beach. Barlow arrived at the finish-line bell 11 seconds ahead of Lamoureux, but waited so that the two friends could ring the bell together. “He won it fair and square, but it’s kind of cool,” said Lamoureux. “We’re good friends and we’ve been going back and forth all these years.” Lamoureux won the great race in 2007 and 2009 and Barlow won in
2008 and 2011. The finish didn’t quite come down to a sprint to the bell, but it was almost that close. “Shawn and I were closer than our escort boats were to us. We had an awesome race,” Barlow said. Barlow will go into the books as the official super-modified division winner for 2014 with a time of one hour, 14 minutes, 20 seconds, exactly five minutes off record pace. Ross Elander finished third, six minutes back. John Schlitz won the modified class in 1:24:40, Cooper Rey won the stock division in 1:32:31 and Marian Stewart was first female to finish in 1:24:55. Jaime Garcia won the sportsmanship award and the heaviest tubber to finish award. Stewart was oldest tubber to finish and Trentyn Anderson was youngest tubber to finish. John Booker of New Zealand won

the award for tubber coming from the farthest distance, Mike Reynolds won the last-place finisher award and Jaime Skipper took home the Silver Plunger award as first to sink. Bill McGuire, commodore of the Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society, doesn’t recall seeing a tie for first place before and said it was nice to see that sort of camaraderie. He said the society is “tickled pink” with how the Nanaimo Marine Festival went this weekend. “We’ve had a great run of weather and lots of activity downtown, lots of activity in the park,” he said. “Nanaimo’s getting to be a big city and you’ve got to do something for everybody and it’s kind of neat to see that we can all get together and it’s for the common good.” sports@nanaimobulletin.com

Nanaimo News Bulletin 3
WestJet flying to Calgary Incorrect information was published in the Thursday, July 24, edition of the News Bulletin. WestJet started operating flights to Calgary from Nanaimo Airport in 2013. A second daily flight to Calgary is slated to start in late October of this year. The News Bulletin regrets the error and any confusion it might have caused.
AIRCRAFT STAllED shortly after takeoff at Nanaimo Airport, according to witnesses.
Congratulations
By ChriS BuSh The News bulleTiN
Two men died on Saturday when their small aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff. The fatal mishap happened at about 7 p.m. as the small home-built amphibious plane was taking off from Nanaimo Airport. Michael Cyril Weir, 73, from Salt Spring Island, and Gerald Paul Thom, 50, from Youbou, died in the crash. “The aircraft stalled on takeoff and crashed upside down on the fairway,” said Ron Gueullette, chief of Cranberry Volunteer Fire Department. Cranberry firefighters removed the victims from crash scene before the wreckage was transported to a secure shelter at Nanaimo Airport later that night for inspection. Bill Yearwood, Transportation Safety Board investigator, was told by witnesses the craft lifted off, then appeared to suddenly lose altitude before making a sharp left turn. “It then made a very steep descent, nosedown, and hit the ground,” Yearwood said. The plane crashed near the 14th hole of Cottonwood Golf Course, close to the airport and golf course property line. Trent Kaese, golf course owner, said there were golfers on the 13th and 15th holes, but fortunately no one playing near where the craft impacted. “Fourteen happened to be empty and [the crash] was off to the side in the rough too, so it wasn’t a critical spot, possibly, even if someone had been on the fairway,” Kaese said. “Obviously we’re just concerned for the families. That’s the sad part of it.” Yearwood said the Avid Amphibian aircraft was owned by the two men on board and that they had built the craft together on Salt Spring Island. It had been based at Nanaimo Airport since December. “The aircraft is a two-seater flying boat and it’s powered by an air-cooled, Volkswagen four-cylinder engine that has been modified for aviation use,” Yearwood said. Yearwood said he found no obvious cause for the crash during his initial inspection Sunday, but by the condition of the propeller it appeared the aircraft was not under full power when it struck the ground. Yearwood said he is also interested in seeing any video footage from anyone who might have been filming at the airport. Nanaimo Airport staff is also reviewing surveillance camera footage.

Cash donations needed at food bank Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank has plenty of food in its larders, but a drop in cash donations could put a serious crimp in the organization’s ability to operate. The food bank distributes about $110,000 worth of food to the community every month, but to bring those food donations in, sort, store and redistribute them costs about $35,000 a month. P e t e r S i n c l a i r, Loaves and Fishes executive director, said monthly cash donations have dwindled to about $10,000. “That’s what’s coming in,” he said. “In terms of how long we can keep running, we’re looking at about three to four weeks out.” He said if cash inflow doesn’t pick
up, the organization’s delivery truck might have to be taken off the road, which means the food bank would not be able to access the $110,000 worth of food or be able to deliver it to Loaves and Fishes’ nine depots for client pick up.
“At the end of the day, for every dollar spent, we put $3.50 worth of food back into the community,” Sinclair said. For more information or to donate online, please visit www.nanaimoloavesandfishes.org.

Community helped soldiers’ families By Aug. 4 the battle lines had been drawn: France, Russia, Britain and her Empire against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Nanaimo, still in the midst of a coal mine strike, celebrated when headlines announced Britain was going to war. If the motherland was at war, so was Canada. Within the coming months, the strike would come to an end, the community would get behind the war effort and Nanaimo-area parents would see their sons to the wharf or railway station as they left for Victoria, Quebec and the war front. More than 100 would not return, like John Nicholson, who was 19 when he enlisted in the army. Or 24-year-old machinist Alfred Patterson. The city would also see one of its own – Raymond Collishaw – become one of Canada’s greatest fighter pilots. During the war, dozens of Nanaimo men volunteered for the militia. There was a sense of civic responsibility and a community expectation for people to serve their country, said McFadden. “It was almost automatic that you would join up and peer pressure ... there was no greater peer pressure than this. I mean, these guys joined up in a mass. Guys who were in school together, the whole class would join,” he said. The community also got behind the war effort. The Daughters of the Empire raised money for a Dominion gift to Britain and organized a farewell for the Nanaimo Independent Company. Women in Nanoose Bay formed a patriotic club to make supplies for soldiers and school children raised money for soldiers’ dependents. Mayor Planta fulfilled his promise to by helping to start the region’s Patriotic Fund, which aided nearly 1,000 families of soldiers. The war lasted four years. At least 10 million men were killed and 29 million were wounded, captured or missing, according to Veterans Affairs Canada. Sixty-seven thousand Canadians died. This anniversary is a way for people to say thank you, McFadden said. “Having a remembrance means that they ... didn’t die in vain and that someone will remember,” he said.

Nanaimo city council will consider investing in a new animal shelter. City politicians have asked staff for a report on the feasibility of investing into the B.C. SPCA’s $2.7-million regional community animal centre. The local SPCA has seen its lease for city property expire, prompting it to fundraise for a new facility on the organization’s 4.8-hectare spread on Westwood Road. It’s asking taxpayers to chip in between $150,000 and $200,000 over the next three years for the project. Coun. Diane Brennan, who made the motion, said she likes that the project has a public safety and health aspect. news@nanaimobulletin.com

Chefs, cooks, barbecuers and foodies who can take the heat will be able to stay in the kitchen at this year’s Vancouver Island Exhibition. VIEX is holding an inaugural cooking competition at Cliff McNabb Arena during this year’s fair. Island Chef, playing off cooking show Iron Chef, aims to showcase the Island’s culinary talent as well as determine the best chef. According to Shannon Olafson, VIEX special events coordinator, the cooking contest is open to anyone with B.C. Foodsafe certification. The competition is Aug. 15-17.
“You have your appetizer round, your main round and your dessert round, so you have your three courses,” Olafson said. “[Contestants] prepare the dishes for the judges and the rating system is going to be so that basically, if you’re down on your points in the main round you can always get back up, so it’s open.” Island Chef will have a southwestern food theme, which includes Tex-Mex, barbecue and spicy according to Olafson, and contestants will have to be creative in the main dish round as they will have to incorporate all ingredients from a Thrifty Foods mystery bag.

EDITORIAL
Boats, booze shouldn’t mix As Nanaimoites enjoy the summer sunshine, staying cool is important. However, the Canadian Safe Boating Council is reminding all boat owners that drinking and boating is illegal and unwise. According to the safety council, about 40 per cent of all boating-related fatalities are alcohol-related. The council, along with law enforcement agencies across the country are using the August long weekend to remind all boaters, including operators of sailboats, canoes and kayaks to raise awareness about boating and drinking with Operation Dry Water. In the second year of the campaign, Operation Dry Water aims to reduce the number of alcohol-related fatalities on Canadian waterways as well as provide a visible deterrent to drinking and boating. With several gorgeous lakes and an ocean of opportunities to choose from, Nanaimo boaters and visitors have plenty of chances to cool off without having to resort to alcohol. According to the Criminal Code of Canada, a boater can be charged with impaired operation of a vessel if his or her blood alcohol concentration exceeds the 0.08 threshold while operating a vessel. A first offence can see the boater liable for a fine of $600. A second offence carries a 14-day prison sentence, and a third offence extends that to 90 days. With the number of vessels plying the waters on and around Vancouver Island, especially during the tourist season, it is imperative that all vessel operators be alert to their surroundings. Be dry, be safe. As for texting and boating? Well, we don’t recommend it, but we do understand that sometimes on a sunny day you’ve simply got let your friends know that you’re on a boat.

NDSS plan would revamp city’s facilities To the Editor,
Re: Summer Games stir city pride, Editorial, July 22. Your editorial was a welcome and positive affirmation of the importance of community support needed to benefit our young athletes. The consistent support this community has provided for the various provincial games has been outstanding. However, the Games also, once again, highlighted the need to upgrade our community sports facilities. We have moved from a small community to a city of some 80,000
people and a regional population near 125,000. Key facilities need to be replaced and updated. Over the past five years, the school board, Vancouver Island University and the City of Nanaimo have moved to a new level of co-operation in use of public lands and the need to upgrade public facilities. This level of co-operation was a long time in the making and took a lot of effort and development of good will. A major report that will be going to the public for feedback is the development of the Nanaimo District
Secondary School site. This proposal would see the replacement of an aging school, the possible redesign and rebuild of the Rotary Bowl to increase access to more community facilities for sports and community events and other initiatives for this area. This plan will be out for public comment and community support soon. This public support will be critical in obtaining support for government funding to complete the project.

summer programs are cancelled. There are lots of programs for all ages. This community looks forward to the summer because of them. There’s learning, socialization, outdoors, friendships and just plain fun. In my opinion, it is a mistake for the school board administration to cancel community programs and meeting places. Why should the administration cancel programs because the teachers are grumpy?

I have had enough of the teachers’ strike. The government and teachers are acting like the children they teach. When a person decides on a career in teaching, you know exactly what that job entails. You have many benefits to your career. Every job has problems, but sooner than later they get resolved. The only sin in this scenario is that the children of this community are suffering from these money issues. 2014 Community schools’

Re: Board paints positive economic picture for Nanaimo, July 8. I’m getting that all-toofamiliar case of political déjà vu, but now with a truckload of manure mixed in. Taxpayers are constantly being spoon-fed political medicine by the spin doctor, who reassures us that all will be OK, but the reality is it’s just the usual coloured-sugar medicine that does not work, but still somehow ends up costing us our money.

council on an emergency basis in October 2012. The public were not made aware that extensive changes were planned that would permanently alter the landscape of our community. It seems clear that a decision had been made well in advance that the dams were to be removed and the park decimated. The ensuing process was tainted with this agenda. This direction by staff set us on a path to an incredible waste of time, money, and energy. However, it also galvanized and united our community in a manner not previously thought possible.

Re: Dam remediation moves forward, July 17. The Colliery dams debacle continues to shed light on how decisions are made in Nanaimo. Freedom of information documents clearly point out extensive discussions regarding removal of the dams in March 2012. A round table discussion of 19 attendees including city staff members discussed at length the implications for decommissioning the No. 1 reservoir, the status of the Colliery dams and the viability of the Chase River. This meeting occurred a full seven months before the issue was brought to

I am really drawn to the sound quality,” she said Although Hamilton did not receive any formal education on the business side of the music industry, she did take a course from Juno Award winning musician, Heather Bishop. “I was really fortunate that I took a course from this really phenomenal Manitoba musician, Heather Bishop. She teaches this course that is about managing your career,” Hamilton said. “From her I learned how to get a start doing all those business things.” While her parents are both musicians, Hamilton said she never felt pressure to pursue music and that it was always on her own terms. “They definitely let me discover it [music] and I ran straight there,” Hamilton said.

Salsa dance raises money BY NICHOLAS PESCOD THE NEWS BULLETIN
There are less than 150 days until Christmas and just because it’s July doesn’t mean you can’t show a little festive spirit. On Thursday (July 31), singer-songwriter Erika Phillips will be hosting a Christmas in Julythemed fundraiser at the MGM Restaurant. Proceeds from the fundraiser, which features salsa dancing, music, a raffle and party games, will go directly to the Nanaimo Food Bank. “Usually ever y Christmas we do a big fundraiser for the food bank and it is always pretty successful,” Phillips told the News Bulletin. “So this year we decided to do an extra one because generally they are running out of donations at this time of year.” Phillips, who is an active musician in Nanaimo, along with her husband teach salsa dancing and
run a social dance night every week. Phillips explained that while non-perishable food donations are acceptable to bring to the fundraiser, cash donations are ideal. “Cash donations are better because they can make it go further,” Phillips said. “They will accept food but as much cash as we can raise is better.” Although Christmas is nearly five months away, those who attend the fundraiser are encouraged to wear tropical clothing with a splash of Christmas. “You’re supposed to wear your favourite kind of tropical outfit with a Christmas-type accent,” Phillips said. The fundraiser takes place at the MGM Restaurant, 240 Nicol St., on July 31st. For more information please contact Erika Phillips at erika.pianogirl@ gmail.com or 250753-3535. arts@nanaimobulletin.com

Walter Edward “Ted� Chappell
NANAIMO 595 Townsite Rd.
January 21, 1932 – July 8, 2014
The Chappell family is saddened to announce that Ted passed away peacefully after a long battle with COPD at NRGH at the age of 82. Ted moved from Saskatchewan to Powell River where he met his wife, Olive. They moved to Nanaimo where they raised their 4 children and had almost 50 years of happy marriage. He was predeceased by his first wife Olive, and his baby grandson Dustin. Ted loved to curl and made many strong friends at the rink, as well as in the construction industry where he worked for many years. He took up carving late in life and surprised his family with yet another talent in addition to his reputation as the “Mad Scientist.� He was thrilled to find love again and married Nita whom he met at the Senior Center. Nita and Ted had so much fun and loved being together, loved to travel and will always be remembered holding hands. He is survived by his loving wife Nita and her family, his children; Dorothy, Ted (Linda), Rick & Shirley and their many children. Also survived by his sister Betty Butler (Howard), grandchildren & greatgrandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Ted will also be greatly missed by the Kennedy family, his friends at the Lakeside Gardens, as well as the many lives he touched. Here's a toast of Royal Red to you Ted!
An Ordinary Day 2007 It was just a very ordinary Thursday afternoon The day we met, I’ll never forget That sunny day in June “Hello� He said. My name is Ted, Won’t you sit here by me? And so we sat and had a chat And drank a cup of tea. The years have sped and we were wed, With happy times so merry That Seniors’ day at Bowen Park Was not so ordinary Nita Fenn Chappell In Loving memory of Walter Edward (Ted) Chappell

Timbermen eliminated from contention Inbrief I sports
BOX LACROSSE team defeated 12-5 by Lakers. BY GREG SAKAKI THe NeWS BuLLeTIN
The Nanaimo Timbermen were one good period away from keeping their playoff hopes alive, but things fell apart. The city’s senior A club was eliminated from playoff contention in the Western Lacrosse Association following a 12-5 loss to the Burnaby Lakers on Saturday night at Frank Crane Arena. The game was 6-5 after 40 minutes, but the visitors tallied twice in the first five minutes of the third period and the home team sagged. “They got a couple quick ones and we couldn’t recover from it,” said Graham Palmer, T-men captain. “We played pretty good for the first two periods and then we just came out flat. That’s been one of our downfalls all year. I can’t explain why we would come out flat in a potentially season-saving game.” Palmer, Cayle Ratcliff, Tyson Roe, Corey Shires and Paul Brebber scored for Nanaimo and Zak Boychuk suffered the

loss as shots were 44-32 in favour of the visiting team. The Timbermen have now missed the WLA playoffs for seven straight seasons. Uneven results this season meant the T-men had been in must-win mode for a few weeks.
“The work ethic is there. Guys want to win; it’s not like they’re not trying,” said Kaleb Toth, T-men coach. “It’s just we’re not playing a full 60 minutes. We’re making too many small mistakes [and] unfortunately when we make these mistakes it ends
up costing us, big time.” Toth is finishing his second season behind the bench in Nanaimo. When he arrived at the start of 2013 he talked about a three-year plan to make the playoffs which he still thinks is reasonable. “We need to start making the playoffs and we
need to change the way things are around here and it all starts with the young guys moving forward,” he said. Both the coach and team captain mentioned that the T-men were missing some players this season who would have helped. Nanaimo will have two first-round draft picks and three second-round selections in 2015. “Our future’s looking bright. Unfortunately, we don’t want to play into the future, you want to play in the now,” said Toth. “It’s frustrating because I think this group of guys is talented enough to make the playoffs when they work hard and when they want to and when they don’t make the little mistakes.” Ratcliff said the outcome will take awhile to get over after the team’s efforts to try to stay in contention. “We gave it everything we can but fell short,” he said. “It seems like I’m here talking to you about the same thing after every season. It’s getting frustrating. It’s tough.” GAME ON … The Timbermen close out the season with road games Wednesday (July 30) against the Langley Thunder and Friday against the Victoria Shamrocks. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
Raiders beaten by big-play Rams in season opener BY GREG SAKAKI THe NeWS BuLLeTIN
Junior football season will be exciting, if the first game is any indication. The V.I. Raiders and Langley Rams played a barnburner to start the B.C. Football Conference campaign, with the Rams hanging on to beat the Raiders 44-36 on Saturday in the Fraser Valley. The Rams led the game 37-14 early in the third quarter, but the Raiders kept coming and were driving in the final minute before they ran out of time. Brian Ridgeway, Raiders coach, was undaunted by the defeat, saying his players were “outstanding” in the opener. “Being down at halftime and having all the bounces go the other way, playing the whole 60
minutes was great to see,” Ridgeway said. “I was very happy with how the boys performed.” He thought guys got better as the game went on and pointed out that his team’s defence shut down the opposition in the second half. “They were put into some really bad positions, field-position-wise, and they held,” the coach said. The Rams did their damage on big plays, including some gamechanging special teams plays. Langley had two fumble recoveries that led to scores, plus a kickoff-return touchdown. The Rams also scored on a long interception return. The Raiders, meanwhile, were more productive on offence, outgaining the home team 336 yards to 273. Nanaimo was led by receiver Marshall Cook, who tied

a BCFC record with 14 catches and finished with 208 receiving yards. New V.I. quarterback Liam O’Brien completed 24 of 37 passes for 306 yards. Running back Nathan Berg scored three rushing TDs for the Raiders, Cook had a 28-yard TD catch and O’Brien ran in V.I.’s other major. Defensively, Dylan Chapdelaine had five tackles and an intercep-
tion, Nigel Henry, Ash Gayat and Nathan Warawa had sacks and Dexter Shea and Quinton Bowles had five tackles apiece. Ridgeway saw a lot of standout performances in Week 1, he said, and now he and his assistant coaches will make adjustments, move around some personnel, and seek improvement. “What it is is practice, practice, practice,” the coach said. “We know what we have and as a coaching staff, we have a fairly good idea of what we need to do to make it better.” GAME ON … The V.I. Raiders visit the Westshore Rebels on Saturday (Aug. 2) in a 7 p.m. game at Victoria’s Westhills Stadium … Nanaimo’s home opener isn’t until Aug. 16, when the Okanagan Sun come to Caledonia Park. sports@nanaimobulletin.com
Acme T-men one win away
The Nanaimo Acme Painting Timbermen are one victory away from a berth in the finals and a spot in the Presidents Cup. The city’s senior B lacrosse team leads its semifinal series against the North Shore Indians two games to one after a 10-9 loss in double overtime Sunday at Frank Crane Arena. “They got a couple bounces their way. It’s the way the game goes,” said Devon Casey, T-men forward. “We’ve just got to come out with more intensity [next game] and we should be fine.” Casey and Steve Higgs had two goals each and Ryan Clark, Ryan Forslund, Josh Fagan, Jon Diplock and Julian Kolb also scored. Game 4 is today (July 29) on the mainland. The Tri-City Bandits, hosts of the Presidents Cup, await in the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association finals.

Pirates lose to No. 1 Blaze The Nanaimo Hub City Paving Pirates made a series of it, but couldn’t pull off one last upset. The city’s B.C. Premier Baseball League team lost its first-round playoff series against the Langley Blaze two games to one this past weekend on the mainland. The Pirates lost 7-1, won 3-2, then lost 11-1. In Nanaimo’s victory, Josh Burgmann threw a complete-game win, allowing four hits and striking out nine. Cole Warken and Tom Negrin were both 2-for-3 at the plate in that game. The Pirates junior team, meanwhile, continues ball season. The squad hosts the Victoria Mariners juniors on Wednesday (July 30) at 6 p.m. at Serauxmen Stadium.

Row homes offer another option
I
law change follows format in europe. By Chris Bush
The News bulleTiN
F
irst-time home buyers, young families, empty nesters or retirees downsizing have a new option for buying high-quality homes in Nanaimo. Sun Porch Homes Ltd. has completed its first row housing project on the 2000 block of Northfield Road. The single-family attached homes mean buyers own their units and the land they’re built on. Each unit is serviced separately with sewerage, water, hydro and other utilities and with fee-simple ownership there are no strata fees.
Ken Riddell, developer, said he normally focuses on commercial construction. “I don’t normally do housing, but I have some strong beliefs about housing, so I won’t build anything conventional,” Riddell said. “The reason I picked row housing is because I believe people want individual titles. There’s a lot of the market that doesn’t necessarily want large yards and I believe the people are happier with smaller square footage, but much better finished.” Row housing has long been a common building format throughout much of Europe and the U.S. In San Francisco, the row housing is favoured because it stands up well to earthquake forces.
Recent changes to the provincial land title act made it possible for fee-simple row homes to be built in B.C. The Northfield Road project includes three twostorey units. Each has 127 square metres of floor space and includes two bedrooms, a den, 2.5 baths, outside decks, storage rooms, lane access and other amenities. With high ceilings and well laid out floor plans, the homes feel much larger than they are and with foam core concrete walls, heavy double-glazed windows and other sound proofing technology there is virtually no noise intrusion from adjoining units or outdoor traffic. Pot lights, smooth ceilings, engineered hardwood floor-
ing, concrete fibre board siding, stone countertops and soft close kitchen cabinets are some of the dozens of included upscale features. “We are trying to really give the new homeowner the most advanced technology and features – and some of the best features – that are available currently,” said Gur Minhas, codeveloper. “This is something that you’d see in Vancouver, in an upscale community or a downtown core that’s come to Nanaimo.” Price per unit is roughly $300,000 – more than a typical town home, but fit and finish is high and there are no strata fees. “I believe we can come up with really well-functioning small square footage,” Riddell said. “If

gur Minhas, co-developer, has nanaimo’s first row housing ready to show buyers. The northfield Road homes were built following changes to building legislation.
we can do that, it’s important to me to keep quality in developments.” Riddell is also interested in building small units for retirees, single parents or people in economic
situations where small, but high-quality homes would fit the bill. “Hopefully we’re going to open up a type of housing that fills people’s needs better in all senses,
including price,” Riddell said. For more information on the development, please visit the Sun Porch Homes website at www.sunporchhomes.com. photos@nanaimobulletin.com
