Olsen calls NEB process ‘theatre’ Green Party Interim-Leader decries NEB hearings on Trans Mountain pipeline Tim Collins News Contributor

On November 25, the B.C. Green Party Interim Leader, Adam Olsen, testified before the National Energy Board’s (NEB) hearings on the expansion of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline. But, although Olsen’s testimony was applauded by the Green Party, his appearance before the hearings was as a representative of the Tsartlip First Nation in the WASÁNEC (Saanich) territory. Born in Victoria, Olsen and his three siblings were raised on the Tsartlip First Nation in Brentwood Bay. Olsen continues to live on the property where he grew up. While Olsen said that he has concerns about the pipeline’s safety, his before the “The NEB has testimony NEB was limited to the a strong record of concerns relevant to his intervener status and never saying no.” the elements of the plan that directly impacted – Adam Olsen him as a representative of his First Nation. In his testimony, Olsen emphasized the commercial and economic value of Aboriginal fisheries, which have been sustainably developed through traditional Aboriginal practices such as reef net fishing. Olsen explained that the Aboriginal legal right to carry on the fishery guaranteed by the [Douglas] treaty is unqualified. “I am directly affected [by the Kinder Morgan project] because I am part of the Douglas Treaty and the route of shipping traffic is directly over the places that we fish, said Olsen.” Olsen said the current level of tanker traffic is already in question given the provisions of the Douglas Treaty.

“Now, before they settle those concerns, they are proposing a plan that would see a vast increase in the number of tankers. They’ve violated one part of the contract and now, before they’ve resolved that issue, they want to add to the violation,” said Olsen. But some of Olsen’s greatest criticisms were directed to what he calls a “poor process”. “They removed oral cross examination from the hearings and by so doing they’ve undermined the whole process,” he said. “Look at how most of the information on the Enbridge pipeline was finally disclosed. It came from oral cross examination. This is one of the first times that they’ve removed that part of the process. The strength of any evidence lies in its strength against cross examination. It’s a mechanism that should be available to all interveners.” Olsen said that when decisions like this are made it does nothing to give his people or anyone else any confidence in

Interim B.C. Green Party leader Adam Olsen testified on behalf of the Tsartlip First Nation at the NEB hearings on pipeline expansion. the outcome of the hearings. He said that what is really necessary is an independent provincial government sponsored environmental assessment of the project. “The NEB has a strong record of never saying no,”

said Olsen. “They’ll approve it with a long list of conditions and by doing so they’ll kick it back to the federal government and that’ll be it. It’s a charade ... theatre.” Olsen acknowledges that he walks a bit of a tightrope

between his political party and his status as a member of a First Nation, but maintains that it is in everyone’s best interest to work out the rights of First Nations before proceeding with even more violations of the original treaty. “In the end, our issues are linked,” he said. “This process isn’t really going to calculate the grand cost. Even if you do account for the potential cost — you know, those losses of habitats, the damage to culture and tradition, the decimation of entire ways of life, I doubt you’ll put it all together.” Olsen is not alone in his concern about the process being applied to the NEB hearings. Marc Eliesen, a former board member of Suncor Energy, CEO of B.C. Hydro, Chair of Manitoba Hydro and deputy minister in several federal and provincial governments, recently withdrew from the hearing process, protesting that the NEB was failing in its duty to provide an unbiased, transparent evaluation. “This is nothing more than a dog and pony show,” said Olsen.

District confident privacy was protected Steven Heywood News staff

B.C.’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of B.C. was notified of a potential privacy breach after the theft of two laptop computers from the District of North Saanich. Municipal hall was broken into sometime between the Sat., Nov. 15 civic election and Nov. 17. Sidney North Saanich RCMP reported electronic equipment was taken in the break-in. Police are investigating. A notice on the District’s website states two laptops were taken. They were located in a locked building at the

time, stated the notice and are password protected. The municipality reports they did not contain property, tax or personnel files. “The District has prevented all access to the District’s computer systems from the laptops,” said the notice on the District’s website, “and we can confirm that there has been no unauthorized access.” Cara McGregor, a spokesperson for the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner confirmed they were told of the incident. She said the notification from the District came on Fri., Nov. 21. The office will work with the District to determine if there was a breach and help ensure

the municipality did its due diligence in the protection of people’s private information. Rob Buchan, the District’s chief administrative officer, says the municipality determined on the Wednesday following the election there had been a theft and potential privacy breach. They notified the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at that time, opening an evaluation of the District’s privacy protection policies and its due diligence in carrying that out. Buchan noted he doesn’t think this will result in any changes to how the District protects information and that this incident was an illegal break-in.

Mayor Alice Finall told the News Review on Nov. 25 the investigation is in the hands of the RCMP and that the OIPC is also looking into it. Finall, who recently underwent knee surgery, said she hasn’t been into the office lately but noted she knows staff have done their best to maintain privacy within their systems. “I haven’t heard of any serious issues,” she said in regards to security at municipal hall. “I don’t think there have been any break-ins in the past.” Access to the building, she added, is via secure password entry. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

In office less than an hour, new North Saanich Councillor Geoff Orr, centre, gets some advice on a variety of local issues by some of the standing-room-only crowd at the Dec. 1 inaugural meeting.

Finall returns as North Saanich’s CRD appointee Continued from page 1

“For me, the prospect of working with this new council is inspiring and encouraging,” Finall continued. “I’m willing to work with each and all of the council.” Finall called for rational, collaborative behaviour and actions among all of council this term — especially as they work closely with all citizens. There were moments of applause from the audience, in acknowledgment of past council behaviour and in their hope for what Finall called respectful,

McClintock, a former police officer, said he has taken many oaths over his career, so he is used to it. “I’m looking forward to the next four years,” McClintock said, as his family tried out his council seat. “I plan on learning a lot right off the bat,” he continued. Weisenberger said he was pleased with his appointments, adding hard work will help him in the future to get into the areas he’s passionate about. Orr said he was a little nervous taking the

yet energetic, debate. Council appointments were announced during the inaugural session, the most notable of which was Finall’s return as North Saanich’s representative at the Capital Regional District board. It’s a position traditionally held by the mayors in Greater Victoria, but three years ago, a majority of council in North Saanich chose another councillor to hold the position. Council newcomer Murray Weisenberger said he wasn’t nervous taking the oath of office — and that was echoed by Jack

OUR VIEW

Council about character

ew North Saanich councillors are saying all the right things this week as they take office following the civic election last month. The December 1 inaugural session of the council lacked the fireworks and controversy of the first day of council three years prior — hopefully the hallmark of a four-year term that’s more respectful than rancorous. Rookie councillor Jack McClintock comes to his seat at the table via the Team North Saanich electoral organization. Four of the five people running on that ticket failed to get the votes as electors appeared to signal a big change. No longer will Team North Saanich hold the majority on council. McClintock, however, was also a newcomer to the slate of candidates. He This council doesn’t carry the appears to be off to baggage of the last three years of a positive start municipal politics. And as a former police officer, he probably has the skills to be able to diffuse situations, rather than inflame them. Yet, this man who was the Peninsula’s representative on this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock fundraiser, comes to the group with his own opinions. He may spend a few weeks learning the ropes of municipal politics, but we predict we’ll be hearing good things from him. Overall, there’s a council in North Saanich that is well-spoken on a variety of issues and many behind the big table now have stood in front of it as active citizens. They know what people have come to expect from their representatives. On December 1, the language from the mayor and councillors was of respect, enthusiasm and skill. We can expect debate on many issues, said Mayor Alice Finall — but done without the rancor of the past. This council appears to be off to a positive start. We know there will come different pressures of the job throughout these next four years. How each councillor responds to it will tell more about their character. What do you think?

Gosnell, the revered chief negotiator who carried the treaty over the goal line in 2000, moved slowly with the help of an ornately carved cane to speak at a reception. He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to see the fruits of generations of labour. Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisga’a territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature. In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing self-government. On Nov. 27, 2014, B.C. Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisga’a. “That’s what being alive means to me today,” Gosnell said. “You’ve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS MMBC accountable to its stewardship plan Re: NDP demands audit of Multi-Material B.C. (Nov. 26, 2014) t is important to clarify a few points in the above article. Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC) is an industry-led, non-profit agency that assumed responsibility for residential curbside, multi-family and depot recycling programs in many areas across B.C. in May 2014. This was as a result of changes made to the provincial Recycling Regulation to shift responsibility for end-of-life management

of packaging and printed paper from governments and their taxpayers to the businesses that produce these materials. MMBC does not fall under the purview of the provincial Auditor General because MMBC was neither created nor appointed by the B.C. government and MMBC is not funded by the B.C. government or taxpayers. MMBC is accountable to the commitments made in its stewardship plan approved by the Ministry of Environment and will issue a third-party-audited annual

report by July 1, 2015, per the Recycling Regulation. In terms of the program’s success, over 1,000 companies have now signed onto MMBC as stewards and the fees that stewards pay have allowed MMBC to provide recycling services to over 1.25 million British Columbian households. At the same time, MMBC has standardized the materials accepted for recycling and added many materials that previously were excluded from residential recycling programs, including empty aerosol con-

tainers, plastic foam packaging, plastic plant pots, paper coffee cups, plastic or paper cold drink cups and milk cartons. As we look forward to 2015, MMBC already has over 70 collectors on a waiting list to be included in our program and will expand to more communities as additional businesses join and their added fees increase the funds available to finance program expansion. Allen Langdon, Managing Director Multi-Material B.C.

Readers respond: Local election results, composting in Central Saanich, drinking in B.C. Councillors did the job they were elected to do You recently published three letters that expressed delight at the recent election results in North Saanich. However, their enthusiasm should be tempered by a few observations. First, Mayor Finall only garnered [158] more votes than her [closest mayoral]rival, showing that half of North Saanich voters don’t approve of her style of leadership or her ideas. Second, that the three defeated members from the previous council fulfilled their promises to rein in frivolous expenses, promote cheaper housing options and reduce taxes. In particular, they obtained a much better deal on the Sandown property, saving the municipality hundreds of thousands of dollars, never mind potential extra costs of remedial work. Note that their council also had zero tax increases for two years. They did the job that they were elected to do — let us hope that the new council does the same. Bryan Holmes North Saanich

and food waste composting requires high tipping fees and big financial investments. Composting has been carried out for

many years and the procedures for evaluating compost maturity are well known. A simple test, described in the B.C.

MOE Regulation, is that a pile of the composting materials at the facility about three metres in diameter and two metres high be formed. This should not reheat more than 20 Centigrade over ambient temperature. If it does the compost materials probably need to be further processed within a building before being brought outside, depending on weather, for curing on concrete or asphalt pads with leachate collection. Obviously severe odour problems at compost facilities must be quickly attended to but better communication between the compost facility operator and local residents is essential. The simple

re-heating test noted above can be shown with demonstrations of the uses of finished compost in gardening and agricultural crop production as well as the benefits of added compost to carbon additions and sequestration. This can help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions as well as improving soil structure and thus water movement in agricultural soils. This is really outreach and best communicated by farmers and compost facility operators. Alan Carter Saanich

Too easy to drink in B.C. Every day we see

and hear about homeless people, or young people attacking others. Why? Because of drugs and alcohol. Why are we encouraging “shootup” sites. These people need help. We need to be sending the message to our young people that doing drugs and drinking is not the “cool thing” to so. It can ruin your life forever. The B.C. Liberals have opened up every avenue to makie drinking as easy as possible for anyone. I ask, why do we have so many depressed people? Time for the B.C. Liberals to get their priorities right.

Tim Collins News Contributor

Singer, songwriter, artist, activist ... Buffy Sainte-Marie’s career is a kaleidoscope of achievement that has captivated her fans and influenced her contemporaries for nearly five decades. And when she appears in Sidney’s Mary Windspear Centre on Dec. 13, you can expect that her audacious energy is certain to entertain and inspire her audience with a unique blend of joyful music and thoughtful lyrics. You see, Buffy SainteMarie is more than just another musical act. She began her career in the early ‘60s when her song Universal Soldier became an anthem for the peace movement. Her music during that period even caught the attention of the Lyndon Johnson’s White House and managed to have her placed on a list of artists who ‘deserved to be suppressed.’ She shared that honour with other artists including Eartha Kitt and Taj Mahal. That suppression continued under the Nixon admin-

Canadian singer Buffy Sainte-Marie will share her love for great music with Sidney on Dec. 13. istration. But far from destroying her career, SainteMarie’s independence from the mainstream has only enhanced her creativity and longevity as a performer and songwriter. “I’m not in the business, never have been,” said Sainte-Marie in a recent Windsor Star interview. “The beauty of having a long career like mine is that you realize that great music

stays great and that’s true of life ... no matter what new thing comes along.” And there always seems to be something new coming along. After a lengthy hiatus from recording, Sainte-Marie returned to the music scene in 2008 with the critically acclaimed album, Running for the Drum. That work won her a third Juno award. In 2010 she released

The Pathfinder – Buried Treasures. But the magic that makes Sainte-Marie’s performances so special may lie in the breadth of her experience. Besides the 19 albums that she has to her name, Buffy SainteMarie has been the subject of three television specials, has written the scores for several movies, helped found the Music of Aboriginal Canada Juno category, raised a son, taught the art of digital music at a variety of colleges and earned a Ph.D. in Fine Arts. She also appeared regularly on Sesame Street and was chosen to speak at the opening of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. Incidentally, she’s also managed to win both a Golden Globe and Academy Award. At age 73, Sainte Marie maintains a gruelling schedule of recording, performing, creating her renowned digital art, and speaking engagements. “I feel better than when I was 22,” said Sainte-Marie. “And I listen to all the music ... from then to now. I have a voracious appetite for great music.” It’s a love that she’ll share with her Sidney audience. It’s a performance not to be missed.

SAANICHTON — The idea of coming together with friends and family during the holiday season to share a fresh cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate creates a warm feeling inside everyone. The Village of Saanichton takes the gathering experience one step further, bringing the entire community together with their annual Community Christmas event. This year the event is Sat. Dec. 6 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Saanichton Village slows down a little on that day so children can enjoy a pancake breakfast with Santa at St. Mary’s Church starting at 9 a.m. (courtesy of the Central Saanich Lions), have a photo with Santa himself (by donation to the food bank), walk the Tree Trail with the family, take a ride in a horsedrawn carriage, decorate a gingerbread man at the Saanich Pioneer Museum and listen to some live local music. But most of all visitors can become more familiar with the community.

Ardmore’s du Temple releases his second book Steven Heywood News staff

Wallace du Temple’s first book was about the history of the Ardmore area in North Saanich. His latest book, I Heard The Eagle’s Piercing Cries, is a collection of his personal writing, from prose and short stories, to letters to his mother and poetry. Du Temple says he’s calling this book and another one yet to come, Markings in the Mail by a Sidney Boy — a series of two volumes. “My first book was about Ardmore, the area and the golf course,” he said. “It’s a special part of North Saanich.” His latest book, he continued, details his journal entries throughout much of his working career. It includes his recollection and detailing of working as a lone social worker in the Alaska Highway region of B.C. It was a troubled

the government at the time and was subsequently fired and six social workers would

end up suspended over what he terms “Wally’s Welfare War.” The book is a collection of what du Temple calls markings. “I chose that title to convey that it’s not just prose, but other styles of writing as well,” he explained. “I picked up on the word ‘markings’ as a reflection of different writings on the pieces of my life.” His markings range from the serious nature of his social work, to almost losing his life on a canoe trip in the north, as well as his reflections on working at the Ardmore Golf Course while his children were involved with the Donkey 4H Club. That club would nearly take over the golf course, he said, noting his story Cialis and Sex at the First Tee is sure to raise some eyebrows. This volume is somewhat cathartic for du Temple.

Saanichton event helping the food bank Continued from page 13

This will be the 10th annual event, with all proceeds going to the Sidney Lions Food Bank, a worthy cause all year ‘round. There are more than 12 trees on the Christmas Tree Trail, starting at 9:30 a.m. and it is a wonderful tradition, with most of the businesses in the local area putting up a splendid tree for the big and small kids to enjoy. Families are given a map to follow, with the kids collecting stamps at each location and sometimes a little cup of hot chocolate or treat. The event is hosted by the Saanichton Village Association and the local businesses community. For the third year, there will be a Christmas Winter Market in the parking lot behind Fresh Cup Roastery Café. Local crafters and artisans, bakers and food producers will have seasonal items on offer. Christmas Headquarters is located at 1931 Mt. Newton X Rd. For many, this event has become a cornerstone of their seasonal Christmas tradition, and there will be guest appearances by elves, Rudolph and Santa. Be sure to bring your family to this free Christ-

mas event and drop-off your donation to the Sidney Lions Food Bank, get a free coffee, Christmas cookie, Tree Trail Map and spend some quality family time. — Submitted by Jim Townley/Saanichton Village Association

From December 1, 2014 to approximately December 8, 2014, Capital Regional District (CRD) Integrated Water Services will be transferring the source of supply for the Greater Victoria Water system from Sooke Reservoir to Goldstream Reservoir in order to inspect the Kapoor Tunnel. As a result, low water pressure may be experienced in Langford, View Royal, and Saanich north of the TransCanada Highway. No interruption in service is expected. Residents may notice a slight change in the colour and taste of the water however, this does not affect the safety of our drinking water. Further information can be obtained by calling CRD Integrated Water Services at 250.474.9619.
