Saanich’s first legal marijuana op in full swing Travis Paterson News staff

A federally licensed marijuana facility in Saanich is ready to sell its product to patients across Canada, but it first needs to pass through public hearing. Thunderbird Biomedical Inc. CEO Rob Gagnon told council Oct. 6 that his company is already conducting marijuana research and development at a light industrial site on Commerce Circle in Saanich’s Glanford neighbourhood. Gagnon was applying for a zoning amendment that would allow dried medical marijuana to be sold to patients by mail order from the facility. Gagnon declined an interview request from the News, but Coun. Susan Brice said the company has been actively fielding questions from residents and providing tours of the site to alleviate fears about such a facility near a residential neighbourhood. “Given (Gagnon’s) interaction with neighbours and the community associations, there was enough to send the rezoning bylaw application to public hearing,” Brice said. A public hearing date has not yet been set, she added. Gagnon has reassured residents and council that stringent security measures are in place that include at least 36 surveillance cameras at the site. Should the zoning amendment pass, Thunderbird will be restricted to mail-order sales with no opportunity for on-site retail. PlEASE SEE: Council open to pot site, Page A8

SAANICH NEWS - Wednesday, October 22, 2014

Cancer Over the next three issues, the Saanich News will look at the affect childhood cancer has on a family, from the devastating diagnosis to the financial and emotional hardships that follow. We also take a look on where families can get help, and the special relationships that form between health--care professionals and families.

Oct. 24 Oct. 29 Anne Carrelli is a pediatric oncology nurse at Victoria General Hospital. She’s part of a team of nurses, doctors and social workers who treat children with cancer. “You can’t help but get invested in every family because kids are kids – and they just want to get better,” Carrelli says.

and families

‘The diagnosis was terrifying’ Part 1 of a three-part series: families coping with cancer

Labour Day backyard barbecue a year ago is one Alicen Chow will never forget. Her daughter, Islay Mei Gordon, was playing with other children and fell from a tree. It didn’t appear to be a big deal at the time, but it would soon spiral the young family into a fight for life. Soon after the fall, Islay began to limp and complain of a sore back. A trip to the doctor identified nothing out of the ordinary. As the weeks passed, Islay started getting more peculiar aches and pains. She developed an odd rash on her shoulder and the pains in her knees and back were continuing to get worse, and when she woke up in the morning she was often Kevin Laird so stiff she could hardly get out Reporting of bed. Finally after weeks consulting with doctors and other health professionals, it was discovered Islay had leukemia. “[The diagnosis] was terrifying,” Chow said. “I think we probably thought it was a death sentence at the time.” Islay was rushed to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver to begin cancer treatment. The first 24 hours was a whirlwind of activity as Islay underwent treatment. For the family, it opened an unexpected new world of learning medical terminology and understanding the cancer.

Contributed

Islay Mei Gordon, 6, cuddles with her younger brother Oban Li. Islay Mei was diagnosed with leukemia last year. She is now in remission. “You quickly move from ‘I can’t believe this is happening’ to being inundated with information. You really don’t get a chance to catch your breath,” Chow said. Islay faced the first day with a lot of courage for a six year old as doctors and nurses poked and prodded her in the early stages of the cancer treatment. Chow was surprised how well Islay held up. “The moment we got [at the hospital] they made it really easy. They treat children with remarkable respect,” Chow said. “They made it as easy as they could and she did really well.” Anne Correlli, a pediatric oncology nurse at Victoria General Hospital, said family is so important when a child is dealing with cancer. The family is considered a part of the health team. “We try to build that trust with the families so they trust themselves and so when they are here and looking at numbers on the machine that we can reinforce with them it’s not just about the numbers but what they see in their child,” Correlli said. A few weeks at B.C. Children’s Hospital, Islay returned home and began taking day treatment at Victoria General Hospital. Islay has been in remission since mid-January and returned to Grade 1 at Keating Crossing elementary

school in September. The hardship of dealing with cancer is not just the disease, but how it changes family life. Chow said her family was lucky they didn’t have to spend more time in Vancouver, so they didn’t face a lot of financial hardships. Still, there were incidents that came up where they had to ask groups like Make-a-Wish and the B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents’ Association for help. Chow, who is in the public service, now works two to three days a week at home. Her husband, Coll Gordon, has returned to his small law practice. Chow said she doubts her family life will ever be the same. “The biggest change is you develop this new normal, but it does quickly become part of your everyday routine.” she said. “Everything changed. There’s no going back. The sense of invincibility is gone.” klaird@blackpress.ca

Local author gets Governor General’s nod University of Victoria professor, former students vie for top literary prizes

There is no pre-determined plan to shut down the pool, said UVic’s director athletics and recreation Clint Hamilton. “We’re decommissioning the gymnasium and parts of Ian Stewart that are being replaced by CARSA but there is no plan for the tennis courts, the pool and other parts of the Ian Stewart Complex, until the third party consultant present a report on the facility,” Hamilton said. In the meantime, UVic’s McKinnon pool continues to be available to the Vikes, Pacific Coast Swimming, students and faculty. “I’m at the (Ian Stuart) pool every summer from the day it opens in May to the day it closes in October,” Damian said. “It’s magical in the mornings when fog and steam are lifting off the water, especially in the fall.”

OUR VIEW

Online privacy trumps all A controversial privacy bill set to pass through the House of Commons this week has been a long time coming. Bill C-13, which anchors itself to well-supported anti-cyberbullying legislation, is being pitched by the Conservative government as a necessary, 21st century update to the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act, the Competition Act and the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act. The new legislation, if one is to believe Justice Minister Peter MacKay, is simply a bit of housekeeping to allow police more streamlined access to criminals’ online information when needed. But the alarm bells should be ringing for all Canadians, particularly when organizations as diverse as the federal Privacy Commissioner, firearms groups, constitutional lawyers, former Conservative cabinet minister Stockwell Day, Carol Todd (mother of cyberbullying victim Amanda Todd) and the Canadian Bar Association say the bill is Orwellian and likely to be torn up in court. The bill would allow police to more readily access online data, phone records, install and monitor digital tracking devices and intercept communications, practises that already take place during some major crime investigations across Canada. While a judge would still need to sign off on a warrant for much of that information under the new rules, critics say the threshold for a warrant is being lowered. The main concern: police will too easily be able to access private online data. Part of the problem is that law enforcement and intelligence agencies have an inherent tendency to allow “function creep,” a term that refers to expanding police powers in the absence of strict oversight and review. (For a local example, Google “Automated Licence Plate Recognition” technology and read about how the B.C. RCMP debated mining licence plate data collected by Victoria and Saanich police departments for further investigative purposes. The idea was quashed by the B.C. Privacy Commissioner in 2013.) A bill that lowers the bar for police to conduct digital surveillance and mine the protected online data of Canadians for an expanding number of reasons is disturbing. Environmental activists in particular should be wary of being targeted by softer rules around wiretapping and datamining. There are likely pieces of information in all of our social media accounts, bank statements and cellular and internet histories that would lead to questions about who we know or what we do. Allowing police and intelligence agencies easier access to that information is exactly what the revelations of Edward Snowden are meant to prevent.

One last holdup on railway tracks “Hands up.” That famous command is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910. A more genteel, and of course perfectly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway Tom Fletcher (Stone and Timber) B.C. Views Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders. Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land. Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legislature this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway

and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way. “I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the disputed ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions,” Coleman told the legislature. “The province granted land to three railway companies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to third parties in the early 1900s. These reservations were not recognized in many subsequent land transactions, and many of them were not registered in the current land title system.” These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. And Coleman’s statement suggests that the government has conceded its records are in error, rather than those of the railways. Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settlement and railway development, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. For a fascinating look at this period, I recommend Barrie Sanford’s book

Steel Rails and Iron Men (Whitecap Books, 1990). Sanford recounts the fateful decision of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kicking Horse Pass, leaving the mineralrich Kootenay region open to competitors for rail freight service. A key figure of those days is James Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to 1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union. Dunsmuir’s hard line provided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud. Hill was happy to supply coal from Fernie. Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth Lieutenant Governor, sold his coal business and retired to his estate, Hatley Castle, which is now part of Royal Roads University. He is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. As Halloween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in. ••• Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Unions at city halls aren’t the problem Graffiti editorial all wrong

Re: Is CUPE running your city hall? B.C. Views (Oct. 1) Recently you ran a column by Tom Fletcher suggesting that the Canadian Union of Public Employees was running city halls in British Columbia. Mr. Fletcher’s column was based on a shoddy report done by the provincial government about pay for municipal employees. Both Mr. Fletcher’s column and the provincial report shared something in common. Despite the fact the report focused on local governments, neither Mr. Fletcher nor the authors of the report bothered to talk to local government representatives. And this is not surprising, because Mr. Fletcher and others are dealing with a solution in search of a problem. The solution is to force a provincialgovernment controlled bargaining model on locally elected city councils. The problem: that’s what Mr. Fletcher and others are working on creating. If Mr. Fletcher had spoken to Rona Martin, president of the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM), or even read the UBCM statement, he would have found that the provincial report acknowledges 26 times there are limitations in the data to support analyses of municipal pay. The report goes on to reach grand conclusions anyway. Ms. Martin also notes that compensation for police and fire fighters, and even BC Ferries and TransLink, is lumped in – even though local governments have no control over compensation for these groups. Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray echoed the UBCM concerns and noted flawed data from what he called “some taxpayer groups” like the Fraser Institute, the

Canadian Taxpayers Federation and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. It is true that the cost of local government has gone up. Andy Shadrack, a Director for the Regional District of Central Kootenay, said that he had spent the last nine years “trying to prevent provincial and federal governments from implementing more and more expensive regulations, rules and required services for local government to provide.”

Mark Hancock CUPE BC President

The bill for this downloading of costs by senior government onto local governments has been huge, according to a recent report from the B.C.-based Columbia Institute. Between 2001 and 2010, local spending on sewer services went up by 173 per cent, on policing by 134 per cent, and on water services by 130 per cent. These increases were driven in part

either by provincial or federal regulations or provincial control. Finally, let’s look at Mr. Fletcher’s key target – CUPE’s wage settlements – the only actual cost he identifies. Over the last decade, CUPE’s wage settlements with local governments have tended to mirror settlements negotiated in the private sector. If you check with BC’s statistics agency, you will find both CUPE and private sector agreements have been lower than the growth in the province’s wealth (the provincial Gross Domestic Product) and lower than the increase in average weekly wages for the province as a whole. As Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan put it: “I’ll put the fiscal responsibility of our cities against the provincial government any day of the week.” It would have been helpful if the authors of the provincial government report had actually talked to local governments and examined any of these issues. As a journalist, it would have been responsible for Mr. Fletcher to do the same. Instead, his column serves as a free plug for the Christy Clark government’s ham-fisted solution in search of a nonexistent problem. Mark Hancock, CUPE BC President

Re: Graffiti mess your problem, Editorial (Oct. 17) Contrary to your editorial, the responsibility for cleaning graffiti it is not equally shared. A private citizen should look after its own property as a matter of respect for its neighbours. Public municipal spaces, as a matter of respect for the citizens and taxpayers, should be looked after by municipalities using our taxes to pay for the service. The City of Victoria does a good job in maintaining its installations graffitifree, but the same cannot be said for others. BC Hydro, Telus and the cable companies have abdicated their responsibilities and decided that the public and the tax payers must clean up their mess and their equipment, for free. They believe that supplying a few cans of paint and the odd brush absolve them of their social responsibilities and entitles them to obtain free labour under the subterfuge of “community pride,” whatever that means. These are the same private-forprofit entities that impose usurious charges on the public, yet they expect the same suffering public to look after their lamp posts and distribution utility metal kiosks abusing the good will of

well-intentioned individuals. I volunteer a lot in the community, but not at the cost of depriving someone of gainful and productive employment. Large utilities companies must be forced to clean up their own installations at their own costs instead of extracting free labour from a well-intentioned public, or in some cases, from taxpayers. Those utilities that refuse to take responsibility for cleaning up their mess should not have their business licenses renewed to operate within the municipal boundaries. Carlos Flores Saanich

Cattle lot cows suffer, too Re: Up to Saanich to break feedlot stalemate, Letters (Oct. 15) The writers of the open letter asking Mayor Leonard to

shut down the Alberg feedlot mention the rats, putrid smells, fecal dust, growing manure piles and bright lights they have had to endure. It must be horrible indeed -- imagine how it feels for the cows. They are crowded in this mud and waste under the lights, being fattened for the final terrifying delivery to slaughter. (The next neighbours see of them will probably be on the butcher’s slab at the supermarket, or in a hamburger.) Truly, these conditions don’t belong in a suburban neighbourhood or anywhere else. Maybe this close-up view of feedlots (and this is nothing compared to vast industrial meat farms) will cause the neighbours to contemplate the larger picture of factory farming – and to consider vegetarianism.

Richard Wanbon, whose Springridge Crescent home backs onto the lot adjacent to Thunderbird’s unit, said most of his concerns have been alleviated but he worries that the potential legalization of marijuana could lead to future on-site sales. “If the drug schedules change for marijuana in the future, I want to ensure users aren’t coming to the facility,” Wanbon said. “I hope some protection along those lines can be written into the zoning bylaws.” A staff report from Saanich director of planning Sharon Hvozdanski recommended amending the zoning bylaw to permit licensed medical marijuana production. Evergreen Medicinal Supply also operates a legal grow-op on agricultural land in Central Saanich. Under ALR rules, medical marijuana production is an allowable land use and does not require municipal approval. Thunderbird Biomedical, one of only 13 companies with a licence to produce and sell medical marijuana, plans to open an additional facility on Hillside Avenue in Victoria, Gagnon told Saanich council. Further details were not available.

Thunderbird’s parent company, T-Bird Pharma Inc., trades on the TSX Venture Exchange. - with files from Daniel Palmer reporter@saanichnews.com

Did you know? n Federal laws governing medical marijuana will soon change after the B.C. Court of Appeal upheld a decision in August that means medicinal marijuana suppliers will soon be able to produce edible, topical and other ingestible products. The case stemmed from a 2009 Victoria police raid of the Cannibis Buyers Club of Canada, a medicinal marijuana dispensary in downtown Victoria. The federal government has until August 2015 to create new legislation that complies with the ruling, unless the case heads to the Supreme Court of Canada on appeal. n The province views medicalmarijuana production as an allowable farm use within ALR property. However, medical marijuana does not qualify for farming tax exemptions.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

ALC queried on cattle farm

The results of a request by Saanich to the Agricultural Land Commission could bring the muchdebated Gordon Head cattle feedlot issue back to the council table, Mayor Frank Leonard said this week. An Oct. 14 staff report cited a pending application for a tree removal permit by the owners of the feedlot at 1516 Mount Douglas Cross Rd. The report also states the need to receive written confirmation from the ALC that the agriculatural oversight body is indeed likely to approve the farm’s removal from the Agricultural Land Reserve. “Council has voted more than once to send the property to ALC for permission to remove it from the ALR,” Leonard said. “We keep hearing that it will, but they haven’t said that to us. The

results of the ALC comment will likely bring the issue back to council.” Among other points in the report, Leonard said Saanich would support residential concerns about the intensity of the farm practise by its owners, should they be brought to the Farm Industry Review Board. A pending tree cutting permit for the property is currently being reviewed by a third party and that decision ultimately rests with Saanich staff. reporter@saanichnews.com

Greater Victoria to get front row view of partial solar eclipse Greater Victoria has a ringside seat to a partial eclipse of the sun on Thursday (Oct. 23). The moon will cast a shadow on Earth in the afternoon when it passes in front of the sun. A total eclipse will not be seen at any location on the planet, however, the westernmost and northernmost areas of North America are the best places to view the rare astronomical event. In Greater Victoria, the eclipse at its peak will reach a maximum coverage of 55 per cent. The event begins in the early afternoon when the sun is still high in the sky. Members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Victoria Centre plan to have their telescopes and viewing equipment out on Mount Tolmie for the event. The moon will move across the face of the sun as seen from Saanich starting at 1:32 p.m. and ending at 4:19 p.m. Solar eclipses should only be viewed through specially filtered telescopes or filtered glasses. Looking at solar eclipses without this equipment could result in serious damage to the eyes. RASC members will use the proper filters when viewing the eclipse. editor@saanichnews.com

The Royal Oak store supports many local initiatives; from the schools in the area to some of the smaller more local sports teams. Country Grocer as a larger entity, supports many charitable causes such as Help Fill a Dream and the Mustard Seed Food Bank. “This week we will be starting a program with the Mustard Seed where they will receive our culled fruit and vegetables. If a piece of fruit has a little bruise on it, it might be overlooked at the store level but it will still make a great apple pie at the Mustard Seed,” says Parr, “and that is a good thing, good for the community that we all live and work in.” Country Grocer is proud to have seven locally owned stores on Vancouver Island and Salt Spring Island. Being locally owned means contributing back to the community by sourcing out local products from the communities that they are involved in. The list of local suppliers that Country Grocer has is over 30 strong and includes island growers and many other smaller Vancouver Island owned business. “The biggest thing I would like to say to all of my customers in the Royal Oak area is 'Thank You' and that I appreciate your loyalty to our store. We have a lot of customers that we see on a daily/weekly basis and we wouldn’t be here without you, so keep coming by and we will continue to provide you with the best service and the best sourced local products.”

A new initiative by the Cadboro Bay United Church to tackle meaningful projects that support and show love for others is taking on clean-up of Douglas Creek. On Oct. 26, the hope is that other groups will join in the “Love Victoria” initiative. Volunteers will gather at the Edgemont Road park entrance to begin picking up plastic bags and trash in and around Douglas Creek, the trails and the beach. Anyone, regardless of age or ability, is encouraged to join since the trails, the stream and the beach will need attentive trash pickers. Cadboro Bay United Church will provide gloves, garbage bags and likely some tongs to support the clean up. Anyone interested is asked to meet at 1 p.m. and advised to wear hiking boots or similar shoes appropriate for the forest terrain. For more information, call the church at 250-477-2715. editor@saanichnews.com

Canadian library month at GVPL Events include superhero dress-up, harvest sampling October is Canadian Library Month and this year the Greater Victoria Public Library is celebrating the many ways our libraries inspire us. The library has plenty of reason to celebrate; according to the latest Canadian Urban Libraries Council statistics, its circulation ranks as the highest per capita in Canada. GVPL also had program attendance of more than 70,000 people last year. “Our goal is to have something to inspire everyone,” said Maureen Sawa, GVPL CEO. “Whether you visit us in person or online – to borrow books, read the newspaper, download music, attend a family storytime or get computer help – our libraries provide our community with a sense of belonging and encourage the joy of learning and discovery.” GVPL is celebrating with events throughout the month and by shining the spotlight on their staff, which Sawa describes as, “the heart and soul of the library.” Library regulars will likely recognize a face or two on the GVPL blog this month, gvplblog.tumblr.com, where many team members are being featured.

If you are eligible for a free influenza shot, please bring your Care Card to one of the local Influenza Clinics.

The Chargers team finished second. Callbeck (Claremont secondary) finished Day 2 of the three-day tournament one shot ahead of second-place Hugo Bernard of Cégep AndréLaurendeau. He clinched the win when officials deemed the course unplayable due to rain on Day 3. “I’ll take it but it was kind of disappointing

because our team was only three shots out of first and we felt we could have won,” Callbeck said. This is his last semester as he is graduating from the business administration program with an accounting major. Callbeck plans to remain amateur and will look to defend his titles at the Cedar Hill and Gorge Vale opens next year. “It’s nice to get the individual win in my last college tournament but we were also disappointed it ended early.” reporter@saanichnews.com

Long road ahead for short track skater Speed skater has international goals Travis Paterson News staff

Despite starting as an adult, Hamish Black has shown a natural ability on the speed skating short track. The 26-year-old only took the sport up two years ago, when he showed up to the Esquimalt Speedskating Club’s first session of the season. “I remember that day, it was a gong show, as the first skate of the season can be,” said club president Ian Phillips. “That was before I knew (Black). I got on the ice and I saw him out there skating, falling down and I thought, ‘We’ll have to watch this guy.’” Watch him they have. Black not only impressed the club coaches with his knack for an efficient stride and progress as a fluid skater (he won the club’s skater of the year award for 201213), but also his all-around atti-

full-time in Calgary, one of Canada’s havens for the sport. To do it, Black leaves behind his job as the manager of TeenWork, a youth employment program at UVic’s CanAssist. It’s a necessary sacrifice to chase a dream of compet-

Right now there are 206 people in Victoria who need a life-saving kidney transplant. By participating in a Community Conversation organized by The Kidney Foundation of Canada (BC Branch), you could help save the life of a British Columbian like Ken. How? By helping to identify barriers that stop people from registering as organ donors, and generating ideas to increase kidney transplants in our community. Together we can make it easier for people like Ken to get a kidney transplant.

ing nationally and internationally, he said. “If you asked me two years ago when I showed up here, no way would I believe I’d be moving to Calgary for skating,” Black said. In Calgary, Black will work to build world-class power into his stride, something he believes he can do, as he was a competitive nordic skier before he left Ontario for the University of Victoria in 2007. When he initially arrived in Greater Victoria, he did try other sports including UVic’s novice rowing program, but none were the right fit. In 2012, he “Googled” speed skating and found the only two clubs in the region, Esquimalt and the Peninsula Speed Skating Club at Panorama. Black joined both short track clubs (there are no long track clubs here) so he could get on the ice five times each week. “The more I do this, the more I like it,” Black said. It paid off, as he was invited to spend three weeks at a speed skating development camp in Calgary

this summer. He did it again in September, which led to the full time invite. It will be on his own dime, but the support community is said to be very helpful, providing part time jobs that work around the training schedule. “Even with a lack of competition experience, the camp coaches said I’ve shown enough that they are interested in having me there to train all year. That’s enough for me,” Black said. It’s been a speedy ride since his first racing competition, when Black fell in most of his heats but did win a long race that turned some heads, Phillips said. “(Black) prepared very hard for Calgary. He’s very keen and passionate about the sport, you can see that,” Phillips added. Black’s season includes four Canada Cup events, which will eventually determine his progress. “We know it’s unlikely Black will make the national team,” Phillips said. “Hopefully he makes me eat my words, because you can never rule it out.” reporter@saanichnews.com

Rams crush depleted West Vancouver foes

Saanich resident Gareth Rees is now in the Canadian, B.C. and IRB halls of fame.

The visiting West Vancouver Highlanders put up a solid effort against the host Mount Douglas Rams on Friday (Oct. 17). But with a reported roster of just 15 players, the Highlanders were unable to compete with the Rams, who won 34-0.

Brewery bursary for rugger at Velox

Zussman, a senior national team player, will receive a $2,000 bursary at a Velox Rugby Club ceremony tomorrow (Oct. 23) Zussman will use the money to recoup expenses incurred in the build-up for the 2015 Women’s Rugby World Cup, where Canada was second.
