Seniors centre asks for fair share of grants Daniel Palmer News staff

A request for more funding by Goward House Society is prompting the District of Saanich to re-examine the way it doles out more than $500,000 in community grants. Goward House Society president David Eyles wrote to council in December to point out disparity between the $20,000 the society receives as an annual operating grant and the $59,000 the District provided to Silver Thread Service’s Les Passmore Centre last year. Goward House had a paid membership of 490 while Les Passmore had 384 paid members in 2014. “In recent years, our membership and programs have increased significantly while our volunteer staff has aged and our few paid staff just worked harder rather than being increased in number,” Eyles said. “We are now close to being victims of our own success, continually doing more and more without significantly increasing our resources. We need the additional support.” The society is asking for another $10,000 to hire a second part-time employee in 2015. Goward House pays $1 annually to lease the facility from the municipality, and is also exempt from paying property tax as a not-forprofit organization. But the society holds the unique responsibility of funding or applying for grants for its major facility repairs. The District did fund the installation of an elevator ($19,000) and repairs on Goward House’s deck ($85,000) in past years, but the funds required one-time approval, according to a staff report. The Les Passmore Centre, in contrast, received $175,000 in services to cover repairs, grounds maintenance and most of its utilities

in 2014, the report notes. “When there has been a major renovation or repair, we’ve had to go and ask Saanich for a grant. That comes out of the District’s grants program, even though Goward House is their building,” said Elaine Leonard, Goward House manager and its only full-time employee. Seniors centres in Saanich fall under an array of lease, management, operating and partnership agreements with the District. Cedar Hill News Horizons, for example, uses the senior’s wing at the Cedar Hill Recreation Centre, where facility repairs are already funded through the capital budget. Cordova Bay 55 Plus Association uses community space at Cordova Bay elementary, which is owned by School District 63. On Monday, council asked staff to review all of the leases on District-owned buildings, and to report back separately on “fine-tuning” the community grants program, said Coun. Fred Haynes. The revised system for evaluating and approving grants won’t be considered until September and won’t impact this year’s requests. In 2014, Saanich provided $598,531 in community grants to local organizations. This year’s grant requests are valued at $764,132, though council is expected to reject or reduce some of those applications beginning on April 21. “As we’re going through a governance review and looking at how we’re interacting with the community, we need to have a better understanding of how we allot these several hundreds of thousands of dollars in community grants,” Haynes said. “The goal here is to be able to treat everybody fairly and equitably.” editor@saanichnews.com

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Council approves Whole Foods build A 40,000 square-foot grocery store development at the corner of Blanshard Street and Ravine Way got the go-ahead from council on Monday. Whole Foods announced last month it plans to bring its first Vancouver Island store to Saanich by fall 2016. Council unanimously approved the site.

Saanich Community Kitchen program co-ordinator Kim Cummins and president Marlene Bergstrom are ready for the house’s official grand opening on Monday, March 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. at 3541 Shelbourne St.

Park plan open to public feedback Saanich residents can now have their say on the Cuthbert Holmes Park draft management plan. The park, a combination of Cuthbert Holmes and Tillicum parks, totals 25.6 hectares and includes forests, the Colquitz River and is home to wildlife. The draft management plan includes four categories: natural areas management, trails, recreation and safety and security. This includes protecting native vegetation and ecosystems, addressing invasive plants, assessing existing infrastructure, identifying and accommodating compatible recreational activities and resolving way-finding issues. Review the draft plan and take an online survey in response at saanich.ca.

Community kitchen gets cookin’ Renovated home ready to host food literacy, pantry programs for residents in need Travis Paterson News staff

Renovations are complete and the Shelbourne Community Kitchen is open for business in its new three-bedroom home in Saanich. The house gives the non-profit organization a centralized place to run its food literacy and meal preparation classes, which were previously done at St. Aiden’s United and the Lutheran Church of the Cross. Classes are yet to start, but the Pantry Program food hamper has been underway since March 1. The grand opening is March 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. “Let’s just say the previous tenants had worn the house down a little,” said president Marlene Bergstrom, one of 100 volunteers making the Community Kitchen a reality. “Volunteers painted every wall and the kitchen was updated. A dry pantry room was refit with an industrial sink, but because they were motivated to stay within their license, the house has no dishwasher,” she said. The Pantry Program includes shelves of food for self-selection, toiletries such as toilet paper, toothpaste and cleaning supplies (which can be

a big hit on the grocery bill), as well as money to purchase fresh food at a grocery store for users on fixed and low incomes. The freezer room boasts two donated chest freezers and a fridge.

“We have a great relationship with neighbours. ... They’re very supportive.” - Marlene Bergstrom “We have three bedrooms, one is our office, one is our freezer and fridge room, and one is our Pantry Program,” Bergstrom said. “We’re very lucky to have had EB Renovations and Rekindle Designs volunteer with us to make this a useful space.” The ultimate goal is to promote food security by assisting low-income locals through learning and working together in a supportive community, said program co-ordinator Kim Cummins. About a third of the backyard has been overturned and planted as a garden, as growing food is part of the many workshops which will be offered. “The garden will be a place to learn but we also have a production garden in a private Gordon Head yard,” Cummins said.

Clients who drop in to use food hampers are invited to food preparation classes that will help them save money and get more creative with meals. “Membership here is overlapping, we have volunteers at different levels,” Cummins said. “About 60 members are using the Pantry Program and a lot of them are gearing up to help out as volunteers, with work or with workshops.” Visitors to Monday’s grand opening are asked to please bring a non-perishable food item for the house’s Pantry Program. Coffee and snacks will be provided and board members, volunteers, partner organizations and the programs co-ordinator will be on hand. The house is at 3541 Shelbourne St. There is some parking across the street at the Shelbourne St. Church of Christ, but Bergstrom is asking for visitors to use sustainable modes of transportation and not to park on any side streets out of respect for neighbours. “We have a great relationship with neighbours, we delivered flyers to 70 houses, and they’re very supportive,” she said.

Fantastic Fun for Ages 7 to Adult

One Saanich councillor is hoping to put an end to the Gordon Head cattle feedlot by pushing for a one-time fix at the council table. The farm, located at 1516 Mount Douglas Cross Rd. and owned by the Alberg family, has been operating as a feedlot for more than two years. Saan-

ich council has twice turned down development proposals for residential development on the site, despite overwhelming support from neighbours to put an end to the smell and sights of an urban cow farm. Council’s refusal hinges on a longstanding practice that requires landowners to remove farmland from the Agricultural Land

Reserve before development applications are considered. The Albergs have refused to take this step until they receive assurances from Saanich that the proposal is likely to be approved. “This has just been such a frustration, mainly because of the impasse that’s been going on between Saanich and the landowners for the past two years,” said Mark Vukobrat, who lives on Mercer Place near the feedlot. Vukobrat said council’s adoption earlier this year of a right to a healthy environment is another reason why the District should do all it can to remove the feedlot from a residential neighbourhood. On Monday, Coun. Fred Haynes will put forward a resolution that asks council to make a “one-time deviation” from its practices around ALR land. He hopes council will agree to pass a first and second reading for the Alberg’s development application, so that the Albergs will feel more comfortable when they ask for the land’s removal the land from the ALR. “There is history here, but what I’m trying to do is work for the residents of Saanich and do the right thing. I believe there’s an expectation that all parties move forward,” Haynes said.

Haynes added the Alberg farm is a unique situation, as the land was previously identified for removal from the ALR in 1980. The land is already zoned for residential use, and the Gordon Head local area plan identifies the land as an area for residential development. “The Albergs want to protect their right to farm while getting a level of comfort about their development application,” Haynes said. “This proposal would mean the number of properties can be determined at a later date, but it gives a level of confidence for all parties.” Coun. Vicki Sanders said she would need strong justification before she would consider the proposal. “If we change the process for one, we’ll have to change it for all,” Sanders said. “There’s nothing unique about this situation. These landowners want to remove their land from ALR and they have to follow that established process.” Vukobrat hopes council agrees on steps forward next week, as he doesn’t want to deal with another summer of dry fecal dust drifting into his home. “We’ve been putting up with the stench for over two years,” Vukobrat said. “It’s time to sort out this impasse.” editor@saanichnews.com

Saanich, Victoria cops face off for charity in Battle of the Badge Travis Paterson News staff

After nearly 15 years the Victoria Police Capitals and Saanich Police Watchdogs hockey teams have made it to Game 7. The two squads, whose rosters consist of members from their respective institutions, have their eyes on being the first to inscribe their team’s name on the coveted Battle of the Badges trophy, which current sits at three wins apiece. Puck drop is 6 p.m. at Archie Browning Sports Centre, Tuesday, March 24. “It started as friendly Victoria-Saanich banter in the locker room,” said Const. Phil DiBattista of VicPD, Capitals’ captain. “The trophy is really cool, it’s from an athletic contest for Victoria area police officers 100 years ago. We found it and re-purposed it, and we love winning it.” That low-key rivalry evolved into the fundraising force for Victoria’s Special Olympics chapter. Admission for the game is by donation with a well-stocked

silent auction, including and an authentic 2014-15 Washington Capitals sweater signed by the team, yes, including Alex Ovechkin and Nick Backstrom, as well as Ovehckin and Backstrom signed pucks (Caps’ coach Barry Trotz had them sent over in support when he heard about the event). There’s also a 50-50 raffle for the Special Olympics. Opening ceremonies will feature a puck drop by the respective police chiefs and Stephanie Greaves will sing the national anthem, just as she’s done at Rogers Arena for the Vancouver Canucks. “It’s a lot of fun for us to play. We’re all colleagues and we work together all the time,” DiBattista said. “It’s good for us to get out there and just be part of the community, and invite the community to come out and see yes we’re police officers, but we’re part of the community.” The losing team’s police force will fly the flag of the other team’s police force for 24 hours. Each team’s bench will have

a Special Olympics athlete handling the bench door for player shift changes. “We’ve partnered with (Victoria Special Olympics) in the past,” DiBattista said. “We just thought we donate to them regularly, hockey’s fairly athletic and it seemed like a really good fit.” “(Last year’s game) was well-received with full arena at Pearkes, 550 people,” said Saanich police Const. Damian Kowalewich, who played for the Victoria Cougars junior B team in its inaugural season of 1998-99. “Archie Browning is bigger so we’re hoping to take advantage of it’s size this year. And of course, Ace the dog, Saanich Police’s mascot, will come out for the kids.” Cliff LeQuesne from 100.3 The Q! radio station will serve as master of ceremonies. “It’s all for the Special Olympics, every single minute of it,” Kowalewich said. “It’s important to promote the health and wellness for individuals from all walks of life.” reporter@saanichnews.com

While the past 82 years have yielded dozens of unconfirmed sightings of the sea serpent Cadborosaurus, the very real threat of a much fiercer monster looms over Cadboro Bay. It’s easy to think of tsunamis as just such an unlikely animal in Saanich, as there’s no evidence to date of their existence along our local shores. But it only takes one moment to reek sudden and awful terror on a community. With those ominous thoughts top of mind, March 22 to 28 marks Tsunami Preparedness Week, which presents a good time for residents to familiarize themselves with Saanich’s emergency response information, says Frank Macdonald, Saanich deputy fire chief. “Whether it’s a tsunami, earthquake or other emergency event, having a plan in place and a few supplies on hand improves your chances of staying safe, healthy and comfortable,” Macdonald said. The District also encourages residents to develop their own personal emergency preparedness plan and offers year-round, free Emergency Preparedness Presentations at recreation centres. It lasts 90 minutes and provides information for survival for up to seven days after a disaster.

In actual fact, tsunamis are only one of five disasters that could affect Saanich residents, and might be the most unlikely. Even Witty’s Lagoon and Esquimalt Lagoon, which are two of the South Island’s most ideal traps for tsunami debris, have instead turned up nothing when core samples were assessed. However, Research models suggest Saanich residents who live at or near the shoreline can expect up to two meters of swell. For the most part, Saanich should remain unaffected, but there are houses that are high susceptible, such as those in the flood plain of Cadboro Bay, or the low-lying cottages along Portage Inlet. Assume also that swaths of Victoria and Oak Bay could be hit a lot harder, driving residents inland through Saanich. The Saanich emergency presentations cover the five disasters most likely to affect Saanich residents, earthquakes, tsunamis, severe winter storms, health pandemic and urban or wild fires, as well as how to respond and protect yourself during disasters, and more.

Bill C-51 being rushed into law

Randall Garrison Guest View

Over the past few months, Canadians have become acutely aware of the threat to public safety presented by potential terrorist attacks, both at home and abroad. MPs were all shocked by the events of Oct. 22 in Ottawa, but when we went back into session the next day we stood united and committed to work together across partisan lines to meet those threats. In doing so, we tried to send a strong signal that we will not let those who would use violence to disrupt our democracy win by sacrificing the very rights and freedoms we cherish in the quest for security. The Conservative government, however, has decided to do just that with its new antiterrorism bill. Bill C-51 is now being rushed through Parliament by Stephen Harper’s government. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Harper has chosen to play politics with our security and to use fear to try to stampede Canadians in his direction. Canadians are right to be concerned and thousands turned out across the country last Saturday to let the

government know they are watching. There is no doubt that protection of public safety must be a top priority of any government, but at the same time governments must also defend our shared values and freedoms. After careful review of the legislation New Democrats decided to oppose Bill C-51. In contrast to Tom Mulcair’s principled stance against the bill, the Trudeau Liberals have decided to support the Conservatives arguing that sacrificing some of our freedoms to meet the threat of terrorism is necessary and that any problems in the legislation can be fixed later. Bill C-51 proposes measures that are sweeping, dangerously vague and therefore likely to be ineffective. Under the new bill, CSIS’ mandate would be expanded to “disrupt” activities of people and groups that it believes pose a threat to Canada. Unfortunately for Canadians, the Minister of Public Safety is unable or refuses to describe what this will mean in practice. It is clear that this bill risks lumping together legitimate dissent and protest with actual terrorism. What presents further cause for concern is the serious lack of oversight for CSIS. Even before the proposed expansion of CSIS’ mandate there have been concerns raised regarding shortcomings when it comes to oversight body for this secret

organization. As well the Conservatives need to explain how they think the RCMP, the CBSA, and CSIS can meet the threats we face when the Conservatives are continuing the significant budget cuts each have struggled with annually since 2012. It makes no sense to expect these organizations to execute a broader mandate with fewer resources. Canada should be following a similar path to that of the United States, where the Obama administration

Democrats continue to raise serious concerns over this far reaching legislation and its effects on the rights of Canadians. Protecting freedom and security are not mutually exclusive. New Democrats will continue to hold a principled stance against bill C-51 or any other bill that erodes the basic values that make us Canadian, particularly if a bill fails to responds effectively to the threats we face.

has been engaging with community and faith leaders and counterradicalization experts to find solutions at the grassroots level to the radicalization that is most often the basis for these threats. Anyone planning to use violence against others must be stopped, but such measures must be effective and must not erode our fundamental freedoms.

OUR VIEW

Cattle woes need to end There are four words resoundingly echoing through the streets of Gordon Head this week: Just get it done. That’s the sentiment Coun. Fred Haynes will carry into council chambers on Monday, when he presents his attempt at a workaround to the stalemate Saanich should between the step up and municipality the Alberg demonstrate good and family, who own the infamous statesmanship. cattle feedlot smack dab in the middle of a residential neighbourhood. Settling this bovine disaster hasn’t proven easy, but the onus is now on the municipality to find a way forward, particularly when the land is already zoned for residential use and neighbours are becoming increasingly exasperated. The feedlot landowners are asking for some reassurance that they will be permitted to subdivide the property once it’s removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve. There must be a way Saanich’s lawyers can structure the language of a one-off exception so that other ALR landowners don’t demand the same response. Neighbourhood complaints range from strong odours to an increased rat population to fecal dust wafting through windows on a hot summer day, all of it originating from the farm. Council should have a vested interest in resolving this issue as partners with the community, not as adversaries facing off against a stubborn landowner. An election in the fall offered the chance for a reset on this long-smouldering cowpie. The Albergs may be playing hardball by increasing cattle counts, but Saanich should step up and demonstrate good statesmanship. Just get it done. What do you think?

Minimum wage bump insufficient Re: B.C. wage plan panned, News (March 11) Along with Tara Ehrcke, organizer of the Fight for $15 campaign and Victoria MLA Rob Fleming, I believe the provincial minimum wage of $10.25 is too low. We need to help people out of poverty and ensure that they have adequate housing, nutritional food and can afford good dental and health care. More affordable rental housing is also needed. I hope the government sees fit to raise the minimum wage soon for the health of our communities. Susan Serafini Saanich

Deer cull hardly a proud moment Re: Deer cull comes up short in Oak bay experiment, News (March 13) The mayor of Oak Bay is quite proud of the fact he had 11 deer

culled. What happened to the 25 he so badly wanted? How much prouder would he be then? From talk in the streets, coffee shops, on the radio and in the newspapers it seems the only persons who are also proud are very hard to find. Frankly he made a fool of himself and embarrased the residents of Oak Bay in this venture. Killing deer under covert conditions as he had insisted upon is akin to shooting fish in a barrel.

Finally with the alleged overpopulation of deer in Oak Bay, just what will 11 tragic deaths prove? Nothing at all. This was a waste of time, money (more than budgeted) and the lives of 11 innocent deer perpetrated by a man tragically obsessed with a cull. Maybe in future he might listen to what the real animal experts say and try another tact. But then again after seeing and hearing what he claimed, he probably won’t. Peter McClaren Victoria

Green LEAF on an Eco-Run

Electric Bigfoot monster truck

by Keith Morgan

Driveway’s Alexandra Straub will pilot an all-electric Nissan LEAF in the annual AJAC Eco-Run next week. The all-electric sedan, which is also the prize car provided by the Scrap-It program for our Plug-In to Win contest, will glide silently from the Vancouver International Auto Show in downtown Vancouver next Wednesday. The route, devised by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, will then take the participating 19 eco-friendly vehicles to Victoria via the Nanaimo ferry. On Thursday, the vehicles will be put through their paces on a handling course in Langford to see how versatile they are. The EcoRun concludes that evening in Vancouver. In addition to pure electric vehicles, the Eco-Run

Cash incentives to go green By Bob McHugh

Good news for BC auto buyers who want a "green car" – a $7.5 million fund was set aside in the BC provincial budget in order to bring back a government incentive program that offered point of sale rebates to buyers of plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. The previous rebate plan expired last spring and details of the new plan are expected to be announced at the Vancouver auto show. Here are five new to market vehicle choices with "green" aspirations. The first four are finalists for the AJAC Green Car of the Year Award, which will also be announced in Vancouver at the show next week. The 2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD would be my personal "primo-green" pick, if I were lucky enough to have a spare $50K stashed away.

2015 Honda Fit

Honda Fit may be small on the outside, but its organic shape and an ingeniously versatile seating system makes the most of every bit of interior space. The new Fit also consumes even less fuel, due to a new powertrain and a lighter yet more rigid new body. A 1.5-litre engine that can produce 130 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque, powers all Fit models. Fuel economy is rated at 7.0/5.7/6.4 L/100km (city/highway/combined) with the new Continu-

fuel economy was achieved through a variety of engineering initiatives that included an impressive new (Lineartronic CVT) automatic transmission. It's also the only car in the “family car” market segment that comes with standard all-

’’

ously Variable Transmission (CVT). Members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) have already voted Best New (2015) Small Car (under $21,000) the Honda Fit.

2015 Kia Soul EV

This is a clever electric vehicle adaptation of Kia's tall 5-door compact car with the funky styling. Soul EV offers the same, user-friendly features as its gasoline counterpart, with seating for four or five and a large rear cargo area. Kia's polymer (electrolyte) lithium-ion battery pack is compact and easier to hide, as is can be molded into different shapes.

In Soul EV it's centrally fitted under the rear seats and a raised rear floor pan. The liquid-cooled AC synchronous permanent magnet electric motor can generate a whopping 210 lb-ft of torque. That's 59 lb-ft more than the gas engine version of Soul. Yet, its impressively smooth and standing starts are not as jumpy as other electric vehicles. Soul EV has a claimed driving range of 149 km on a single charge.

2015 Subaru Legacy

The redesigned Subaru Legacy won the overall 2015 Canadian Car of the Year Award. A substantial improvement in

wheel-drive. Legacy was engineered in Japan and is built in the USA in an award winning production facility, for environmental excellence, in Indiana. In fact, the entire 832-acre plant site is designated a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.

2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid

er. The Hybrid editions come in three model grades and a starting price of just $28,710. Camry Hybrid is powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine linked with Hybrid Synergy drive and matched to an E-CVT. Fuel economy is rated at an amazing 5.7 L/100km (which is about 50 mpg) in the city and 6.0 L/100km on the highway.

2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD

Acura has linked its superb electronic (torque vectoring) Super Handling AllWheel Drive (SH-AWD) system with a new hybrid powertrain in this all-new version of the RLX. The gas engine is a 3.5-litre V6 with Variable Cylinder Management and it’s linked to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This is the most powerful Acura production sedan ever built and has a claimed combined (gas + electric) peak output of 377 horsepower. Yet, its fuel consumption is a miserly 8.0/ 7.5 L/100km (city/highway). A little pricey (starts at $49,990), but amazing! bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

kilograms (6700 lbs) a 2.5L I-4 engine is standard with an optional 3.6L V6 with a six speed automatic transmission. This truck includes all the modern day technologies including 4g LTE hotspot with WI-FI connection through OnStar, which provides service for seven devices. Base price $21,695.

Truck lovers could fill an afternoon running a careful eye over the new trucks at the Vancouver auto show. Here are my five picks for special attention:

2015 Chevrolet Colorado:

The all-new design is turning heads all across Canada. This mid-size truck fills a void here. Still expected to work as hard as a full-size truck, the Colorado can tow more than 3,039

2015 Ford F150:

The combination of a body made of aluminum body and high strength steel in its frame make this truck up

to 317 KG (700 lbs) lighter. This truck was inspired by Ford’s concept vehicle, the Atlas. It has 11 new class-exclusive features, including 360-degree camera view, integrated loading ramps stowed in the pickup bed, 400-watt power outlets inside the cab, LED headlights and side view mirror spotlights, and remote tailgate release. There are four engine choices, the 3.5L Ti-VCT V6, 2.7L EcoBoost, 5.0 Ti-VCT V8, and the 3.5L EcoBoost. The 3.7L V6 delivers 282 horsepower and 253 lb-ft

of torque. The 2.7L V6 has 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. The 5.0 V8 has 385 horsepower with 387 lb-ft of torque and the 3.5L V6 is pushing 282 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque. These are all capable engines depending on your requirements. Base price - $24,899

2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel:

The new Nissan Titan offers a roomy interior that rivals the other popular full-size trucks on the market today

It is the only light duty diesel available here. It has a 3.0 L V6 Diesel engine with a torqueflite eight speed

transmission. Not only will it give you 420-pound feet of torque and plenty of

towing capabilities, it will also reduce CO2 emissions and runs on B20 Biodiesel. Many trims are available from work-truck-ready to full luxury. This truck has something for every buyer. Base price - $31,140

Keg Cup draws Alberta, UBC and Trinity West Four women’s and four men’s CIS soccer teams are in Victoria this weekend for the annual Keg Cup, including the Trinity Western Spartans, Fraser Valley Cascades, UBC Thunderbirds and the Alberta Pandas, March 21 and 22 at Centennial Stadium. Meeting for the first time since the preseason, the Vikes women will face Canada West No. 4 the Alberta Pandas in their opening match. Because of the new Canada West playing format, the Vikes and Pandas didn’t meet each other in regular season – their last match was 0-0 draw in August. Alberta finished the season on top of the Prairie division with a 7-1-4 record, while the Vikes concluded their season with an 8-1-3 record to sit second in the Pacific division. Fraser Valley is the women’s favourite, as the Cascades eliminated both the Pandas and Vikes in the Canada West playoffs and went on to finish fourth at the CIS championship. Powerhouse Trinity Western, which won the CIS championship in 2012 and 2013, also return for this weekend's tournament and will play the UBC Thunderbirds in their opening match up.

DID YOU KNOW | The Shire is selling one bedroom, one bath units for $235,000

Long awaited Shire selling fast Ground breaks for Quadra development Travis Paterson Saanich News

It took eight years to gather the land at 3316 Quadra St., including that of the pioneer Holt family, and the payoff is finally here in the form of The Shire, a three building condo development. “It was a lot of work and a long wait to assemble all eight properties,” said real estate agent Chuck Meagher, in charge of The Shire’s marketing. “It started with identifying the land, which is hard to find in Saanich in the first place.” The builders are Jim Mclaren and Dave Vidalin, who’re also launching The Landmark development in Langford, atop Captain Langford’s original Colwood Farm (it includes the original stone Colwood dairy house). The target demographic for The Shire is wide open, Meagher said. “This particular development uses a process that is somewhat unique. What the developers have tried to do is build a balanced community. Instead of specifically targeting second-time buyers, or empty nesters, or first-time buyers, they’re instead trying to design a building with a lasting

The Shire at 3316 Quadra St. will feature minimal facilities (there will be separate bike storage, storage lockers and secure underground parking) in an effort to reduce strata fees. design for all ends of the demographic. “It won’t be as trendy as some current developments and will have more of a classic feel that we believe will weather the style trends and still be relevant in five years.” Ground is set to break this week (or next) on the first two of the three buildings. Building A will have 25 units and building B slightly larger at 35. There are eight different floor plans, another unique

element to the building. And they’re selling at an even pace. In theory, The Shire should, therefore, appeal to first time buyers, as well as people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s and 70s, Meagher said.

“We expect the units to be purchased by people from across that range,” Meagher said. “We’re seeing our sales come from different demographic markets, and different suites are being selected.” Building A is already sold out and B had sold 10 of 35 units as of earlier this week. Building C will have 31 units and is expected to go ahead in 2016. The buildings are built to Green CHBA standards and

has minimal additional facilities. While a common balcony sits over the entry of each building the amenities have been limited to keep strata fees down, Meagher said. “If you put in a games room or a sauna, a small number of people use it and everyone pays. “The second question all buyers ask is, ‘What are the strata fees,?’ It’s a big concern.” Visit theshirecondos.ca for more information.

Ferry fares rise April 1, will be capped in future Black Press

The next BC Ferries fare increase of 3.9 per cent will go ahead as scheduled April 1, but increases will be capped at no more than 1.9 per cent for four years after that. BC Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee said Wednesday the recent sailing reductions and other cost cutting, lower fuel prices and positive ridership forecasts have allowed him to set the cap at about the rate of inflation for all routes from 2016 to 2020. A lower dollar is expected to attract U.S. residents to B.C. while keeping more Canadian vacationers at home, with lower gasoline prices for travellers as well as ferry fuel costs, Macatee said. Conversion of ships to use liquefied natural gas will also reduce fuel costs. Macatee cautioned that oil prices are volatile, and the forecasts are based on $65-a-barrel oil compared to about $50 today. “Trying to predict fuel prices for the next five days is daunting,” Macatee said. “Our challenge is to predict it for the next five years.”

BC Ferries has cut administrative costs by $5 million since 2009, reduced executive pay by $1.2 million a year, reduced overtime and improved safety enough to lower WorkSafeBC premiums for employees. BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan said he is pleased with the findings of a performance review by PriceWaterhouseCoopers that gave the corporation good marks for efficiency and the operation of BC Ferries Vacations. Food service revenue is approaching $50 million a year and a drop trailer service for truckers is also contributing to BC Ferries’ bottom line. An overhaul of the ferry reservations system is also expected to improve ridership when it is implemented. NDP ferries critic Claire Trevena said the optimistic forecasts are based on a two per cent increase in ridership, but to the average traveller, they mean further increases to an already high fare. She also cautioned that the 1.9 per cent cap is an average for the BC Ferries fleet, and some routes could see larger increases. For the longer term, Macatee said he has asked BC Ferries to

evaluate savings to be had by consolidating the three ferry terminals at Nanaimo and three on Saltspring Island. He wants BC Ferries to reconsider a $200 million terminal replacement and six new vessels for Horseshoe Bay, to see if smaller vessels and more sailings would be more efficient.

Stone lobbies feds for more ferries funding The province’s $180 million annual subsidy to BC Ferries may go up in the future, but it won’t be reduced in the years ahead, Transportation Minister Todd Stone said Wednesday. Stone said he’s encouraged by BC Ferries Commissioner Gord Macatee’s decision to set rate increase caps of no more than 1.9 per cent for the next four years. Stone said he’s also in discussions with the federal government to increase its subsidy to BC Ferries, which is substantially lower than East Coast ferries, and to review minimum crew requirements set by Transport Canada.
