Made-in-Saanich ballot question to target apathy Daniel Palmer News staff

Bald for a cause Thrifty Foods general manager Jim Dores is all smiles as Angela Andersen from Crescendo for Hair shaves his head at Broadmead Village last Friday. Dores’ effort helped Thrifty Foods employees raise $40,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team, who rolled through the village on the homestretch of their two-week tour across Vancouver Island. The effort raised at least $1.1 million for pediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for children with cancer and their families. See Page A7 for more on the fundraising campaign.

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard isn’t bowing to pressure to ask residents about amalgamation, but he hopes another ballot question will satisfy some who feel the municipality is coming up short on public engagement. On Monday, Leonard asked council to approve a ballot question that asks residents if they endorse “a community based review” of Saanich’s governance structure “and our partnerships within the Region.” The motion would trigger a series of public town hall meetings and create a citizen-led committee to address governance reform in the municipality, Leonard said. “Our way of doing government is out of date, and our council meetings are run the same way as when I showed up 27 yeas ago,” he said. “And there’s an appetite in the community for a chance to have a say in how Saanich is run.” Amalgamation proponents have been pushing Saanich to approve a non-binding ballot question that asks residents if they support studying various models of integration for the region’s 13 municipalities. The study would be funded by the province, and municipal councils would then choose how they want to proceed with those options. So far, Victoria, Esquimalt, Sidney, Central Saanich, Langford and Oak Bay have agreed to ask residents about amalgamation at the ballot box. Mayoral candidate Richard Atwell said the ballot question will cost taxpayers money while simply asking residents if they wish to be engaged. “With an election looming, Leonard suddenly had an epiphany regarding his last 18 years of governance and has only now decided that residents need an opportunity to weigh-in,” Atwell said. Leonard acknowledged he’s “a little bit late” in putting forward the idea – “It’s something we probably should have done three or six years ago” – and admitted council doesn’t need a referendum ballot to review its policies and explore regional partnerships.

Don’t wait until Spring to see your tax accountant. There’s no better time to deal with your tax problems, issues, compliance, tardiness than now. Now is a good time for second opinion, planning, consultation.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Climate change focus heats up Vic Derman is hoping his fellow Saanich councillors heighten their response to climate change by vetting new business for its impact on the environment. While Saanich has been recognized as a leader in climate change initiatives in B.C. – the municipality has reduced its carbon footprint by switching to some electric-powered city vehicles and by upgrading buildings, for example – Derman wants staff to begin detailing climate change implications for new development proposals or any other business before council. “We’ve got lots of strong language on climate change in our Official Community Plan, but we need to walk the talk,” Derman said. Derman applauded council and staff for taking early steps to address climate change at the local level, but said the potential impact of extreme weather means more action is needed. “I don’t exactly enjoy being the harbinger of doom and gloom, but I do think we have to alert the population that significant climate change is likely coming,” Derman said. Derman is also asking Saanich to explore climate change partnerships with entities like BC Hydro. Council voted on the measure on Monday night, after the News deadline

A burst water main created a giant sink hole in the notoriously busy five-way intersection of Wilkinson and Burnside roads in Saanich on Saturday, Oct. 4. Crews repaired the road and pipe within 24 hours.

Crews quick to act after water main chaos at Wilkinson Road

Travis Paterson News staff

The cause of a massive water main break that spewed nine million litres of water through a Saanich neighbourhood early Saturday morning can be traced to a weakened fitting on a cast-iron pipe. Four homes suffered considerable damage after water burst through the pavement at the intersection of Burnside Road West and Wilkinson Road and caused a gaping sink hole. “The problem was a cap on a fitting, constructed in the 1950s, and based on methods of the day, it wasn’t restrained as well as it would have been today,” said Ted Robbins, general manager of the CRD’s integrated water services. Saanich and the CRD partnered to drain and fill the hole, which was repaved by 10 p.m. Saturday night. “Given the age of some of the regional systems, primarily municipal systems, there are risks like this around. But based on the life expectancy for a section like this, we would expect 75 years, except in this case,” Robbins said. While some homeowners now face major cleanup and repair costs, other neighbours were impressed by the speed and efficiency of municipal and Capital

A sink hole at the intersection of Burnside Road West and Wilkinson Road after a burst water main spewed nine million litres of water in 90 minutes. Regional District crews in repairing the pipes and sinkhole. “I couldn’t believe it would be completed so soon,” said Gary Hurl, owner-operator of Wigglebums Doggy Daycare at the now repaved corner adjacent to the fomerly chaotic scene. “I was here Saturday morning to see the sink hole, and by Sunday afternoon it was all patched up. I was shocked too see how smooth

Saanich did it,” he said. Hurl lives nearby on the Saanich side of the Gorge. He knows he’s lucky, as one homeowner who recently finished a renovation is back to square one, he said. The burst pipe created a gaping sink hole and flooded homes in the neighbourhood, releasing an estimated nine million litres of water in about 90 minutes until the pressurized pipe was shut off at the

local lift station. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard said a 911 call reporting a rolled vehicle on the Trans Canada Highway between Tillicum Road and Helmcken as the first point of contact regarding the burst. Burnside West and the highway (in both directions) were closed as gushing waters not only reached the highway but also filled at least one home and damaged several more at nearby Belgrave Road. Drinking water was restored less than 24 hours later. “Water impacted 12 homes, four of those quite seriously, and for all those people our (Emergency Social Services) were available,” Leonard said. The gaping sink hole developed in the intersection of Burnside Road West and Wilkinson Road Saturday morning. The burst is the biggest incident of its kind in Saanich since an estimated 30,000 litres of sewage leaked in Cordova Bay in March of 2012. The CRD has put $130 million into infrastructure replacement programs of water lines since 1995, with another $22 million over the next five years, he added. The cause of the break likely wouldn’t have been scheduled for replacement until 2030, Robbins said. reporter@saanichnews.com

Century of memories grow along Shelbourne Travis Paterson News staff

A movement to rename Shelbourne Street as Memorial Drive is long since forgotten by most locals. But if that push had succeeded, Ray Travers believes more people would know the meaning behind each of the roughly 800 London Plane sycamores reigning over Shelbourne Street today. “My guess is just one third of the local population is aware that these trees are dedicated to lost solders,” said Travers, a retired forester who has since become a specialist on the history of the trees, which were planted in 1921 to commemorate locals who died fighting in the First World War. “In those days, traveling to see your loved one, buried in Europe (if buried at all), was unlikely. People needed somewhere to grieve,” he said. Travers gave a seminar on the trees at Saanich Centennial Library last week, the first of a series honouring the 100th anniversary of the First World War, which began in the summer of 1914. The trees were planted in 1921, kicked off by a north Shelbourne ceremony which attracted 5,000 people. Memorial drives were a trend at the time, meant to replicate the tree-lined roads where Canadian soldiers regularly matched in northern France and Belgium. The intent was to embed a nameplate in the base of each tree for each soldier, but vandalism destroyed those which were erected. The hybrid sycamore trees were chosen for their durability (most have been pruned to accommodate the power lines), as they regularly live to 300 years. They’re also sterile and by not producing seeds, they haven’t influenced the local tree populations. “It’s the battlefield standard, a

tough, long-lasting choice,” Travers said. “They even have maple-like leaves.” The irony of Shelbourne, he says, is that several roads east of Winnipeg still bear the title of Memorial Drive but lack trees, as many succumbed to Dutch Elm disease. The original plan with Shelbourne was to plant 6,000 trees, one for each of the B.C. soldiers lost in the First World War. “That never happened, obviously. Rather, upwards of 800 were planted along the six-kilometre stretch from Mount Douglas to Bay Street,” he said. “A lot of the trees were removed by Saanich when Shelbourne was broadened to four lanes after the Second World War.” Travers believes the previous residents of north Shelbourne resisted having the trees taken down at that time, and Saanich paved the south bound road on the other side of the trees, which is why they’re along the meridian north of Feltham Road. Though he admits his theory is just that. Next in the series is the WWI Nursing Sisters, taking place at 2 p.m. on Oct. 24 at Saanich Centennial Library. Register for the event through the Greater Victoria Public Library.

OUR VIEW

Ballot question just too fluffy A made-in-Saanich ballot question meant to address calls for change at municipal hall is being met with mixed reaction. The question, if it remains the same as that put forward by Mayor Frank Leonard at Monday night’s council meeting, asks the following: “Do you support Council initiating a community based review of the governance structure and policies within Saanich and our partnerships within the Region?” The intent may be to reform what’s suddenly perceived by Leonard as an outdated method of local governance. But the question (if it ends up with the same wording at the ballot box) is more likely to confuse voters who don’t quite understand why they need to be asked about a process that doesn’t require their mass approval. The reason groups like AmalgamationYes are pushing for a region-wide question isn’t to force amalgamation, but rather to gauge public endorsement to study its pros and cons. Local politicians are right to be careful in their wording of that question, as it could have real consequences. But refusing to ask the question and substituting it with a fluffier version isn’t a solution. In addition, the cost of issuing a referendum question that results in a governance review process isn’t worth the price tag. Save the cash and put it towards an online engagement tool or other outreach strategies that can garner public opinion. If the intent is to gauge public appetite for reform, then why not add an additional question asking residents about their endorsement of a provincially funded study on amalgamation? Council could add safeguards to ensure a Yes vote wouldn’t mandate the municipality to amalgamate unless it was authorized by another vote in the future. The province would have a difficult time pushing through a forced marriage, given the recent testing of the water by Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins when she and her council shut down the region’s sewage treatment plan. If direct democracy is used to authorize a governance review, it should be used to authorize an amalgamation study as well. What do you think?

The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes that Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the heavy oil there. Half a century into this industrial mega-project, this stuff should just be banned from pipelines. Peace, man. This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information. The Trans Mountain pipeline starts in Alberta and branches into the U.S. It is by definition federal jurisdiction.

Getting serious about food Saanich council intends to bring food security to the forefront of the municipality’s future planning. On Monday, council discussed an in-depth Agriculture and Food Security Task Force report, which if approved, would create an agency to study the food production cycle of the municipality. “It would do it in a way that is more detailed and with longterm planning goals that takes the work off of Saanich’s plate,” said supporter Linda Geggie, co-ordinator with the Capital Region Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable (CR FAIR). Once assembled, the task force will develop an action plan for the various items in Saanich’s community plan around food such as increasing residential “backyard production,” streamlining the process of creating a community garden plot and

dealing with urban-rural conflicts, such as that with Alberg cattle farm. The suburban Gordon Head farm owners are at loggerheads with the District in an attempt to develop the land for residential use. “It’s important people know there is Ministry of Agriculture grant money available to support the development of an action plan,” said Coun. Dean Murdock, adding it shouldn’t cost taxpayers more. The task force was approved in 2011 when Murdock and Coun. Vic Derman brought forward the motion, and it’s taken three years to get to this point. The idea for a food security task force was initially included in Saanich’s Official Community Plan six years ago. “People are really understanding that food and sustainability are an issue in the world of climate change and municipal politics, and food security should be an ongoing issue along side sewage, water and traffic,” Geggie said.

“Food production is part of a healthy community with well being, culture and celebration, and it can’t be run off the side of the desk anymore.” The task force would focus on creating more hubs like the Shelbourne Community Kitchen, where community organizations come together to support training and education around healthy eating. Another focus is nurturing the designated agriculture use of Panama Flats. A good example of reference for the task force is the Peninsula Agriculture Commission, which will soon be known as the Open Agriculture and Area Commission, Geggie said. “It’s transitioning to be more regional because it’s dealing with a volume of requests from multiple municipalities, and yet they’re not able to have the time or scope to look beyond food production related issues,” she said. reporter@saanichnews.com

Premier Christy Clark’s government launched its fall legislative session Monday with a speech from the throne that touched on resource trade progress, partnership with aboriginal people and labour peace with public school teachers. The speech described B.C. following the same path to Asia for liquefied natural gas as it did in expanding the lumber trade when the U.S. housing market declined. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” said the speech, read by Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” The gas industry employs 1,700 people in the Fort Nelson area alone, and can be maintained only by reaching Asian markets. The speech notes that Chinese LNG consumption rose by a fifth in the first half of 2014. “This is a chance – not a windfall,” the speech notes, after one of the leading investment groups warned of shifting conditions that could delay its participation. Clark told reporters after the speech that talks continue with Petronas, leader of one of the largest of 15 current LNG proposals, with a pipeline and gas export facilities planned for the B.C. north coast.

Premier Christy Clark, pictured in 2013, used the fall legislative session to deliver a speech from the throne through Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon. “We are good at negotiating in this government,” Clark said. “We’ve got a good record. We’re going to keep negotiating hard.” The government plans to table framework legislation this month to define the environmental standards and tax structure for the industry, which has more than a dozen international players considering LNG development. NDP leader John Horgan said it’s been a year since the government first promised a tax structure for LNG. Now, with a deadline looming at of the end of October, Clark is trying to back away from 2013 election promises to retire B.C.’s debt and slash

taxes based on LNG revenue, he said. “I think we gave away our bargaining power when it comes to liquefied natural gas,” Horgan said. “Everyone in the sector knows that the premier is way out on a branch and made commitments that she cannot keep.” The speech described the recent six-year labour agreement with B.C. teachers after a strike that stretched from spring to the early weeks of the fall school term. “British Columbia can look forward to five years of labour peace,” the speech said. “This is unprecedented. We cannot let this opportunity pass.”

Universities issue United Way fundraising challenge

Staff, faculty and students at Victoria’s three post-secondary institutions are joining forces for a friendly competition that benefits the community. Known as the PostSecondary Challenge, the employees and students at Camosun College, Royal Roads University and the University of Victoria are raising money for United Way’s community campaign. “All three of our institutes are a vibrant part of the Victoria community. We understand the needs of people and the benefits of United Way and we are excited to continue to do our part to make this an even better place to live, work and study,” said Peter Lockie, interim president at Camosun College. “The education sector is the third largest grossing division within United Way’s community campaign boasting a combined average of $400,000,” said Patricia Jelinski, CEO at United Way. UVic is the second largest workplace account at United Way. The institution raised $255,790 in 2013. Last year Camosun raised over $85,000 through their “Thanks a Million” campaign. RRU raised $50,841 in 2013. Donations to United Way’s community campaign are accepted at workplaces, United Way’s office at 1144 Fort St., via phone 250-385-6708 or online at uwgv.ca. The 2014 community campaign goal is $6 Million. editor@saanichnews.com

Top doctor applauds new rules for ‘vaping’ Province could regulate e-cigarettes like tobacco products Don Descoteau News staff

INVESTING IN THE WELL-BEING OF FAMILIES Whether it’s helping people on the street find housing, providing job training or creating financial security, United Way funded programs offer opportunities for people to make better lives for themselves. Unite to Change and build pathways out of poverty for individuals and their families.

Some Greater Victoria malls have taken the step to ban the use of nicotine vaporizers indoors. News that the province is prepared to regulate e-cigarettes the same way it does tobacco, governing their sale by the same provincial restrictions, is being applauded by the man largely responsible for prompting the Capital Regional District to institute indoor smoking bans. Dr. Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for Island Health, said his department will likely ramp up its offensive against the growing trend of “vaping” after the civic election and a new slate of CRD directors have been installed. A presentation was made last spring to the CRD board about the existing knowledge and science around “vaping.” Not only has the e-cig industry “exploded” since then, he said, knowledge about the chemical makeup of the vapour emitted and the liquids vapourized is becoming more available. Plus, other jurisdictions have instituted their own localized rules. “Given how much has hap-

Dr. Richard Stanwick, chief medical officer for Island Health. pened since the spring, clearly what we present to them would be dramatically different,” he said. Hillside Centre and Mayfair Shopping Centre have banned e-cigarettes in their shopping areas. Westshore Town Centre in Langford uses Health Canada guidelines on smoking and asks mall staff and customers to take e-cigs outside, despite the lack of a definitive stance on vaping from the federal body. The City of Vancouver is considering extending its smoking bylaw to e-cigarettes and adding the word “vaporizing” to its nosmoking signs. Red Deer, Alta. has already adding “vaping” to its smoking bylaw. Stanwick noted the marketing and packaging of e-cigs is unregulated, and their use encouraged

to a full spectrum of potential clients, including youth. He compared the scenario to the 1950s, when cigarette companies used the “cool factor” to market their products. While smoking e-cigs is definitely safer than smoking tobacco, he said, some smokers use juices that contain nicotine. Recently, a research report stated that fine particulate matter has been detected in the vapours that can potentially be harmful to people who breathe it in second-hand. Delegates at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention adopted a resolution urging government action on the products. Critics argue that the growing trend toward vaping rather than smoking cigarettes raises questions over product safety and concerns that years of antismoking gains could unravel if nicotine addiction rebounds. Lake said he’d prefer the federal government regulate the battery-powered vaporizers instead, but added the province will act within a year if Ottawa does not. The goal, he said, would be to ensure e-cigarettes face most of the same bans or restrictions that apply on regular ones under B.C.’s Tobacco Control Act, particularly the ban on the sale of tobacco to minors and the rules on advertising and display. Lake wouldn’t yet say if the provincial ban on smoking in public buildings and workplaces, or within three metres of their doors and open windows, would also apply to vaping, but he noted cities can pass their own bylaws to restrict use of e-cigarettes. Provincial law also bans smoking on all school grounds and in vehicles carrying youth under 16. Stanwick acknowledged it will likely be some time before CRD directors address vaping from a general public health standpoint. “At the end of the day, our elected officials have the final say. My job is to make sure they have the current information and are absolutely informed to the best of my ability,” he said. “Then they make the decision.” – with files from Jeff Nagel editor@saanichnews.com
