First World War nurses did their part By Steven Heywood Black Press
“Like anyone else, and like the men, they wanted to serve. Being nurses close to the battlefield was the only way they could do their bit.” Victoria historian Yvonne Van Ruskenveld explained the motivation of young women in 1914 in joining the war effort as Britain called upon nurses to serve near the front during the First World War. Van Ruskenveld, a member of the Old Cemeteries Society in Victoria, recently gave a presentation on the city’s battlefield nurses during the Great War to members of the

Saanich Peninsula branch of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW). She’ll deliver the same presentation at Saanich Centennial Library on Oct. 24 at 2 p.m. The idea came from Van Ruskenveld’s annual October women’s history tour in the Ross Bay Cemetery. That’s where she came across the names of two Canadian Nursing Sisters, an organization that first appeared in 1885, according to Veterans Affairs Canada. The sisters cared for soldiers sent to quell the North-West Rebellion. From that time, the Nursing Sisters joined every Canadian military force up to the Korean War. These days, nurses in the Canadian Forces no longer go by the term. They were
known as the Nursing Sisters due in part to the religious background of wartime nursing, and the style of headgear they wore that resembled the habit of nuns. During the First World War, Van Ruskenveld said there were more than 3,000 Nursing Sisters, the only women in the Canadian armed forces at that time. One of those nurses from Victoria, Meta Hodge, won the Military Medal and is buried at Ross Bay. PLEASE SEE: Nursing sisters, Page A17

Festival promotion falls short Festival support in Victoria falls short compared to similar Canadian cities Jennifer Blyth Victoria News
The producer of several major downtown Victoria festivals is calling on the City of Victoria to increase its support for free family festivals held in the city. “This isn’t a matter of wanting the city to spend more money on festivals as much as where the city directs arts funding it already has”, John Vickers, executive director of the Victoria International Buskers Festival Society and the Victoria Chalk Festival, said in a news release. “When you have an event like the free admission Buskers Festival that requires year-round effort to produce, $9,000 in direct funding just doesn’t cut it, particularly when you consider just how much arts funding the city distributes.” Vickers said the 10-day Buskers Festival injects millions of dollars into the local economy, attracting both locals and visitors. However, it receives much less city funding than similar programs in cities like Halifax and Edmonton, and less than local summer programming at Beacon Hill Park’s Cameron Bandshell, for example, through Vickers said when

The number of passengers brought into Victoria via cruise ships is down this year compared to last year, but the positive impact on tourism was still strong. “The cruise ship business is our secret weapon to introducing hundreds of thousands of people to Victoria for the first time,” said Paul Nursey, CEO of Tourism Victoria. Bruce Carter, CEO of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce added: “We’re not a one-industry town, but tourism and cruise ships are incredibly important for our economy.” According to the Oxford Economics Review of Victoria Cruise Impact study from March 2014, cruise ship passenger and crew spending account for $33.4 million, or 68.2 per cent of direct spending in Victoria. Last year, there were 481,733 passengers and 203 ship calls in Victoria. With only two more ships expected to come in this season, there have been 462,201 passengers so far in 2014. The additional two ships have an expected 1,432 passengers each, which would bring the total number of passengers up to 465,065.

Prior to the start of the season, the projected number of ship calls for 2014 was 209. However, there were three non-arrivals at the beginning of the season due to weather, said Ivan Watson, media relations officer at the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. The cruise ship season in Victoria ended Monday. Carter said the current goal is to increase the length of stay for cruise ship passengers, and encouraging them to return to Victoria in the future. “We’d like to find a way if we can make the stays longer for the cruise ships,” Carter said. Nursey said although the stays are short, once visitors come to Victoria, they are highly likely to return. “The challenge is getting people to come the first time,” he said. However, not everyone is happy with the way the cruise ship industry is currently being operated in Victoria. “The advisory level for emissions was exceeded several times this year,” said Marg Gardiner, president of the James Bay Neighbourhood Association. Gardiner said buses transporting cruise ship passengers in the city cause high traffic volumes, noise levels and high emissions. She does not believe the economic impact from the cruise ships is necessarily a benefit.

Athletes will hit the track running at PISE
Is Coming to Town
Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is coming to Saanich, monday ocToBER 27Th to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”
PISE track, facility to draw more future Olympians Travis Paterson News staff
The Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence is adding yet another national tenant, as Athletics Canada the latest to join the modern sports facility. It’s not just the track that’s bringing them here, though the $1,000,000 four-lane surface is certainly a key factor, says Peter Eriksson, head coach of Athletics Canada. “PISE is top of the line, and we’re in the planning stages to have an office there, but there is no need to centralize athletes anymore,” Eriksson said. Under the new model, PISE will be Athletic Canada’s Western Hub, one of two high performance locations that athletes can visit. The other will be at York University, just north of Toronto. From 1984 until two years ago, Greater Victoria was home to many of Canada’s carded track and field athletes, who would gather here to train. The new Athletics Canada model is a more flexible one. “It’s an open policy,” he added. “Carded athletes are free to train wherever they want, and make visits to the
Western Hub where they can take advantage of PISE’s services. We’re saying is here’s the hub, it’s available to the athletes for short stays, and they can use their personal coaches wherever they live.” Athletic Canada’s full time presence at PISE will start with just one office, as endurance coach Heather Hennigar will likely relocate there. It also hinges on the relationship with the Canadian Sport Institute’s Pacific office, already a tenant at PISE. Among the services at PISE are the soonto-be-completed world standard track and of course, the building’s leading sports science amenities and high performance personnel. “I see this growing over time and also see a connection with the universities. “It’s not a ‘build it and they will come’ thing,” Eriksson said. Athletics Canada isn’t the only group excited about the new track at PISE. UVic Vikes track coach Brent Fougner says there’s so many community events at UVic’s Centennial Stadium, PISE will offer an alternative option. “There are times when we’d like to have the (Centennial) track
The Bra Lady
Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.
You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling
1-800-254-3938 by ocToBER 25Th
She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible.

“I see this growing over time.” - Peter Eriksson for ourselves.” The Vikes may benefit by adding national level athletes to its roster through partnership with the Western Hub. It has three already in Rachel Francois, Thomas Riva and Tyler Smith. “It could be a situation similar to Ryan Cochrane’s when he swam for UVic. The athlete would have their long term goals looked after while getting the chance to represent the Vikes,” Fougner said. reporter@saanichnews.com

Transportation plan opts clear of ferry and toll complaints Minister seeks public input ahead of 10-year plan release Jeff Nagel Black Press
Transportation Minister Todd Stone is calling for public input to help guide a new 10-year provincial transportation plan he aims to unveil by the end of January. The public consultations for the plan – dubbed “B.C. On the Move” – include meetings across the province with communities and stakeholders, a Twitter town hall and a dedicated website at engage.gov.bc.ca/transportationplan. Stone said he expects local priorities coming forward may include calls for secondary road improvements, more highway passing lanes or four-lane sections, as well as enhancements to local transit or cycling routes. The ministry is accepting submissions until Dec. 12. Survey questions to the public released by the ministry emphasize highway improvements and ask nothing about coastal ferry service or fares – the main source of criticism for Stone in recent months. The ministry will instead rely on previous public consultations in 2011 by the B.C. Ferry Commissioner to guide the ferries portion of the new plan. Nor does the document ask the public if they’re willing to pay more tolls to finance new bridges in Metro Vancouver. Stone previously promised a tolling policy review, in light of probable new tolls on replacements of the Pattullo Bridge and Massey Tunnel, and a call from Metro mayors for tolling reform to allow road pricing to fund TransLink. Tolling inequity is already a major complaint among Surrey-area residents, who feel singled out by tolls on the province’s Port Mann Bridge and TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge. Stone said he remains committed to review the policy, which allows tolls only on new infrastructure where there’s a reasonable untolled alternative, but couldn’t give a timeline. The replacement of the Massey Tunnel between Delta and Richmond with a new bridge is already in the technical design phase and is expected to be one of the plan’s centrepiece projects, along with the Cariboo Connector fourlaning of 440 kilometres of Highway 97 from Cache Creek to Prince George. It’s also expected to explore options for a future second crossing of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna. Stone said a successful referendum on new taxes for TransLink in Metro Vancouver next spring would result in the mayors’ transit expansion plans being added into the provincial plan. A referendum defeat, he said, would leave “other investments” identified as priorities in the Lower Mainland to be pursued under the plan. Stone said he’s working collaboratively with the mayors to help them adjust their financial assumptions and design the question so the referendum – to be held via mail-in ballot – has the “maximum chance of success.” A discussion guide for the consultations notes the province needs to replace aging transportation infrastructure, while preparing for an extra million B.C. residents by 2025 as well as the effects of aging demographics, growing demand for public transit and increased pressure on rural roads from resource development. As for how to pay for new infrastructure, the ministry document says the province would “explore different funding options” while also maximizing federal contributions and partnering with First Nations, local governments and the private sector.

Student activist group trips UVic alarm during protest Travis Paterson News staff
University of Victoria students floated its latest reminder to the school on Friday to disengage from its oil investments. Divest UVic, a student group, used helium balloons to lift a banner to the ceiling of UVic’s Administration Building, which read UVic: Compost Your Dirty Investments.” When the balloons hit the ceiling, they set off the building’s alarm. “On one hand the University paints itself as sustainable, on the other they invest millions and millions of dollars in the dirtiest and most polluting industry on the planet,” said Divest UVic’s Ida Jorgensen. “UVic currently invests over $21 million in the fossil fuel industry, in companies such as Suncor, Encana and Talisman Energy.” If UVic actually believes everything it says about sustainability then it must divest from the fossil fuel industry, she added. The stunt was part of UVic’s Sustainability Week, an initiative that takes place at many universities (although at different dates) throughout the school year. Students at dozens of universities across North America are building divestment campaigns. “The divestment movement is tackling the climate crisis by confronting the fossil fuel industry directly,” said Jorgensen. “UVic must take bold action on climate change,” said Divest UVic’s Tristan Ryan. “It isn’t

Divest UVic members held a protest Friday asking UVic to back out of its investments in oil companies. enough to simply compost apple cores and coffee cups. If UVic takes the climate crisis seriously then it must compost its dirty investments.” Students ended the action by delivering a compost bucket and a formal divestment request to UVic president Jamie Cassels. Divest UVic is a group of students calling on the University of Victoria Foundation to a com-
mitment to sustainability and socially responsible investing, and to divest from the fossil fuel industry. Another campaign exists among UVic faculty, 202 of whom have signed an open letter requesting that fossil fuel holdings be divested from pension funds. reporter@saanichnews.com

Social media already plays role in election Facebook and other social media have played supporting roles in the last few elections, but the 2014 municipal election may be the first where they can be seen to have a direct effect on the outcome. It’s already had a direct effect on one young aspirant to the mayor’s chair in another community, who declared his intention to run Friday morning and withdrew Friday evening, after some inappropriate Facebook posts he made last year came to light. That’s a lesson learned for the young man, and one way social media Voters need has already affected the outcome of the Nov. 15 to be aware municipal election. There will certainly be of what’s others. being passed People are talking about off as fact on the change they want to see in politics using these the Internet platforms, which is a good thing and will make them a force on Nov. 15. Still, watching the discussion on social media, you see how often opinion gets substituted for fact, and how fast discussions get hijacked or devolve into personal attacks and other forms of abuse. The lesson here for voters, as social media becomes evermore a source of political information free from checks and balances, is to do your own research. As with all information that comes your way in life, fact-check and examine the source supplying it before deciding if it’s reliable, especially when using it to decide where to make your mark on a ballot. Most importantly, never vote based on someone else’s beliefs and judgements. Learn to separate opinion from fact, and remember that even the most well-meaning people may be sharing inaccurate information. What do you think?

Questioning the ballot question (Re: Made-in-Saanich ballot question, News, Oct. 8) Mayor Frank Leonard seems to have shepherded his council into another cul-de-sac proclaiming (at the 11th hour) to do something that ultimately will probably accomplish very little. The community-based review of governance structures and policies adopted unanimously Oct. 6 will likely be little more than a checklist and multiple choice charade of least likely to most likely, pre-selected criteria unless significant political changes in Saanich are made first. As a resident of Victoria, I support a proposed study on amalgamation and want that study to include all capital region municipalities. All issues and all areas must be on the table copping out of the study cannot be an option. Amalgamation is not just about joining two or more municipalities into one; it may also include divisions of incompatible areas. For example, Saanich could be split along the
urban containment boundary with the urban south joining one new municipality and the rural north joining another. The final choice to proceed or not will still be up to the electorate. I believe a significant majority of voters would approve a study on amalgamation where it is on the ballot. I also believe a proper study will show a good business case can be made to support the amalgamation of some municipalities for the benefit of their residents and businesses in terms of improved services and reduced taxes. Local communities can retain unique identities, adopt appropriate planning guidelines and share common values and processes within a larger community of under 400,000 population through open and responsive government. With their decision, Mayor Leonard and council have unilaterally decided Saanich should isolate itself and avoid comparing their organization and their record of management with their neighbours.
How do the residents of Saanich feel about that? It seems they will have to elect Richard Atwell as their new mayor along with several new councillors to have their say. Oscar Regier Victoria (Re: Made-in-Saanich ballot question, News, Oct. 8) Dear Mr. Leonard, as a tax payer and resident of Saanich I have one message for you: Ask the question and ask it directly. It is long over due in our region to not only discuss but move toward amalgamation. I agree with you, ‘things have changed in your 27 years,’ and as it is with Esquimalt’s mayor, ‘it is difficult to have a say in Saanich.’ So, please start listening and give us our say put the question on the ballot.

Up to Saanich to break feedlot stalemate M
ayor Leonard, many of us who An open letter to Mayor Frank Leonard from neighbours of the cattle feed lot in Gordon Head.
live in the neighbourhood surrounding the Alberg Family feedlot at 1516 Mount Douglas Cross Rd. are dismayed and disappointed by your unwillingness to explore the options available to move this issue forward. Now, our neighbourhood is about to endure double the number of cattle as last winter. You continue to refuse to meet with our neighbourhood representatives, when all we want to do is openly explore options with you. Instead you hide behind your walls and talk to us through the media, when no chance for rebuttal is possible. All of this occurs while the rats maraud through our back yards and into our houses. Mayor Frank Leonard, you continue to repeat your double mantra about the Agricultural Land Reserve. You continue to repeat the statement that legally you cannot rezone or approve a subdivision subject to ALR Exclusion (Mantra No. 1), despite the fact that the Agricultural Land Commission staff have said that you can, and other municipalities have done it this way for decades. Mantra No. 2: that Saanich council has an unwritten “practice” that ALR exclusion must come first, even when it is clearly
pointed out that all criteria for this practice have been met, some criteria as early as 1980. While you continue your double mantra, fecal dust flies in our neighbourhood and lands in yards and homes. Mayor Leonard, we assume that the Agricultural Land Commission staff knows their own legislation better than you or your staff know this legislation. The ALC deal with the Agricultural Land Commission Act every day, and they say that there is a way to solve this issue without risk to either party. They are awaiting your call. While you refuse to act, a manure pile continues to grow 25 metres away from children’s bedroom windows. Mayor Leonard, you appear to be locked into an indefensible position of your own
This issue needs to get before Saanich council so that council can decide on rezoning and subdivision for this property. construction, while allowing our neighbourhood to suffer. This neighbourhood is in trauma, especially for those property owners that border or are near the feedlot with its putrid smells, dust and bright lights. In 2011, you and your council decided to ignore your own Official Community Plan, and ignore the Gordon Head Local Area Plan that stated that this property should come out of the ALR. You and your council voted to keep the property in the ALR, which initiated this whole chain of events. We believe, as a result, that you and your council should
feel some responsibility towards our neighbourhood, as our property values likely decrease. Mayor Leonard, you and your staff should be actively seeking solutions to this stalemate. This is not about winning a battle, it is about doing the right thing for a neighbourhood which is about to endure another winter of smells, of watching cattle wallow in mud and of watching as oak trees succumb to the rubbing and compaction of too many cattle on the property. This issue needs to get before Saanich council so that council can decide on rezoning and subdivision for the

Saanich Police arrest male on national warrant
So while on income assistance I can choose housing or food, but not both?
A public tip led the Saanich Police to the arrest of a 30 year old male on a Canada Wide warrant in the Jubilee district of Saanich, Friday (Oct. 10). Shortly after 7 a.m, a call from a concerned area resident was received by Saanich Police dispatch. The caller indicated they had observed the photograph of a person on the Internet wanted by the Windsor Police in Ontario. The caller believed they had seen the same person in their neighbourhood and provided the last known location of the wanted person. Officers attended to the residen-

Officers were successful in locating and identifying Brandon Wheeler. Wheeler was held in custody on the Canada Wide warrant and will be transported to the Windsor area. He faces two alleged counts of sexual assault, two counts of sexual interference, and two counts of invitation to sexual touching. reporter@saanichnews.com

Opposition critics used their first question period of the fall legislative session last Tuesday to demand accountability from the B.C. government on the firing of seven health ministry staff and contractors over alleged misuse of confidential health data in 2012. NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that two years after the allegations surfaced, two health researchers have been reinstated, two others were “unfired” and one, university co-op student Roderick MacIsaac, committed suicide after having his research contract terminated with only days left to go. Health Minister Terry Lake repeatedly apologized in the legislature and acknowledged that the handling of some aspects of the case was “heavy-handed.” Lake referred to a recent indepen-

Terry Lake dent investigation announced by the public service to review the way employees and contractors were treated, but he also defended the need to act on the information breach. Letters were sent out to 38,000 B.C. residents in early 2013, notifying them that their confidential health information was copied to a data stick and shared without authorization. There were no names in the data, but it included personal health numbers, gender, date of birth, postal codes and information from a Statistics Canada health survey
on mental and physical health and use of health services. The ministry staff and research contractors were using patient data for research related to which drugs were approved for use under B.C.’s Pharmacare program. An investigation by B.C.’s privacy commissioner concluded that the data were shared with unauthorized people, apparently “to work around the lengthy approval process.” NDP health critic Judy Darcy said the government’s decision to send MacIsaac’s family a cheque for the final days of his employment, with no other communication, was unacceptable. “We have witnessed the actions of a government that did its level best to avoid responsibility for ruining eight people’s lives until the heartfelt pleadings of Linda Kayfish, Roderick MacIsaac’s brave sister, shamed this government into action,” Darcy said. editor@saanichnews.com

Nursing sisters earned rank Continued from A1 Van Ruskenveld became interested in those women, including Ethel Morrison, and the Nursing Sisters organization and sought to learn more. At the time, when Britain called its men to war in Europe, the military saw a need for nurses and organized a series of general hospitals in Canada to help recruit women. Victoria’s General Hospital No. 5 was one of those, said Van Ruskenveld. From there, women would sign up for service the same way men would for soldiering. “Many of those nurses learned to march out at Macaulay Point,” she added. The first group of 100 nurses from B.C. and across the country were sent in 1914 to Valcartier, Que. — the staging point for all military personnel heading to England out of Canada. There, they were given military training in drill and other duties such as hygiene and what kinds of wounds they could expect to see on the battlefront. A Nursing Sister, said Van Ruskenveld, had to be educated as a nurse, from the middle class, young (at least 21 years old) and

At the beginning of the war, there were only 57 nurses in reserve. When they went overseas, said Van Ruskenveld, they were commissioned as lieutenants — both for respect reasons and to ensure the male orderlies would follow their commands. Of the more than 3,000 Nursing Sisters to serve from Canada, just over 1,800 would be sent overseas. Most were assigned to medical facilities near Europe’s Western Front,
while others would serve in Greece. Van Ruskenveld said in some cases the nurses were as close as three miles from the trench lines. They were tasked with preparing dressings and beds, did most of the dressing changes on wounded soldiers, fed and cleaned their patients and assisted in surgery. Van Ruskenveld said the Canadian medical corps was the first to use nurses as anaesthetists. “When there was a battle coming up, they’d clear the
hospitals,” Van Ruskenveld said. “They’d see things that they’d never been exposed to back home.” They were exposed to harsh conditions, saw and treated terrible injuries and even came under fire. A German U-Boat attack in June of 1918 caused the sinking of the Canadian hospital ship Llandovery Castle that saw the death of 234 people, including all 14 Nursing Sisters on board. A bombing by enemy aircraft that same month in France killed three Nursing Sisters. Most nurses who died during the war, said Van Ruskenveld, did so due to disease. When the surviving nurses returned home, many continued their work and began the transition to civilian life. “I want people to know how brave these women were and how much they accomplished and how respected they were.” In Ottawa at the Parliament Buildings, there is a memorial to the Nursing Sisters and the image of a nurse can be found on the veterans memorial statue nearby.

Women in Victoria who have experienced violence, trauma, abuse and neglect have the opportunity to go to a safe place to get support from a local women’s centre, Bridges for Women Society. Tomorrow (Oct. 16), Bridges for Women is opening its doors to the public to create awareness about the work they do for women in Greater Victoria. “We really wanted to create an opportunity for our donors, our prospective students and community members to be able to come into Bridges and get the experience of what happens for the clients when they come here,” said Victoria Pruden, executive director of Bridges for Women. Bridges for Women offers a six-month employment program, preparing women for the workforce, trauma counselling and mentoring, among other programs. “Our typical client is a woman that is in recovery from having left an abusive relationship,” said Pruden. “In some ways the experience of being abused is holding them back.” Through the various programs and counselling, Pruden said there is always a huge transformation that takes place in the women. “By the time they leave the program, they’re ready to either go out and get work or go back to school.” The open house will be a chance for people to get a behind-the-scenes look of what goes on at Bridges for Women. “We are an agency that deals with safety concerns, so often times our offices are closed to protect the clients who are coming here, so this is a chance for people to come here and check it out in a safe and fun way,” said Pruden. At the open house there will be food, refreshments, music and door prizes. There will also be an opportunity to meet some of the society’s staff and students. Bridges for Women is a not-for-profit society and relies on community donations and fundraising. “We’re finding that our clients are really hungry right now,” said Pruden. Cash donations as well as grocery store gift cards are accepted. Donations can be made in person at 320-1175 Cook St. or online at bridgesforwomen.ca. The open house takes place Oct. 16 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. editor@saanichnews.com
Women’s League launches campaign against pornography
Brought to you By:
www.saanichnews.com
Victorians are urged to join the fight against pornography this October by wearing white ribbons of support, and urging government to continue efforts to bring stronger penalties to people who commit offenses against children. Through the month, the 16 Catholic Women’s League of Canada Councils of the Victoria Diocese will wear ribbons and promote the issue with government through letters and postcards. “Although it is illegal to produce, distribute or possess child pornography in Canada, it is increasingly acceptable, accessible, and freely available,” the CWL said in announcing the campaign. “Today, any child with unrestricted internet access is just a mouse click away from viewing, either intentionally or accidentally, sexually explicit material. Pornography is one of the biggest threats to our children’s online safety.” The government launched the National Strategy for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation on the Internet in 2004, partnering with cybertip.ca to operate the national tipline and conduct public awareness and education. editor@saanichnews.com

Nowhere to go but up Making the jump to girls rep hockey Travis Paterson News staff
At 12 years old, Shayla MacDonald is finally playing with the girls. MacDonald is in her first season of rep hockey on the South Island Royals peewee girls team, after a lifetime playing with boys in the Saanich Braves Minor Hockey Association. “It’s awesome being on an all female team,” she said. “We have really connected and come together quickly. I feel more at home with the girls and I really enjoy the competitiveness of this level of girls hockey.” The Royals just finished the September training camp, which
School XC series at Juan de Fuca
included multiple exhibition games against boys and girls teams, younger and older. As the only girls rep team for their age bracket (born in 2002) in Greater Victoria, the Royals have to be creative in finding competition. “We played the a boys’ atom rep (aged 9-10) team. They were smaller but faster than us. The bantam (13-14) girls we played were older, stronger, but slower. The peewee B boys are a good fit but maybe too good,” said coach Mike Adamek. “We’ll play a lot of exhibition to get ready for the tournaments and provincials. It will be over 50 games, same as any other rep team this age.” MacDonald is one of three girls who played on the same Braves’ peewee C major team last year. Now she’s one of three
Saanich players on the Royals with Julia Johnson and Lindsay Goldsworthy, the team’s goalie. The South Island Royals rep level program for girls does not continue beyond bantam, meaning MacDonald and her teammates will have to decide on playing midget rep (15-16)in Campbell River, or on the mainland. “I am a huge hockey fan,” MacDonald said. “I follow the NHL and the Royals and I also watch the Saanich Junior B Braves but I prefer to play. My goal is to play at a high female level, and at the Olympics. I can definitely see this going on past my teen years and hope to keep playing hockey my whole life.” MacDonald has a twin brother, Carson, on the peewee A Saanich Braves. reporter@saanichnews.com
