Workforce housing comes to Sidney Steven Heywood News staff

Workforce housing may soon come to Sidney if a proposal by the Greater Victoria Rental Development Society (GVRDS) gets off the ground. The GVRDS presented their plans to council and to the public for the first time on Monday, June 1. The Society is considering buying the Town-owned parking lot on Third Street next to the fire hall. On that site they are proposing a six-storey building consisting of commercial space on the ground and first floors and 52 oneor two-bedroom residential units on the remaining four floors. The Society met initially with the municipality at an in-camera session at the end of April to discuss their idea. “In this case, this proposal has come into the public view very quickly,” says Councillor Peter Wainwright. He noted that some of the negotiations, specifically a land value appraisal and sales price discussions between the two parties, will remain out of the public eye but the rest should be discussed openly. The GVRDS is asking for some big concessions from the municipality in order to make their project work. To be able to keep unit costs down and ensure people who qualify for workforce or affordable housing can actually afford it, the Society is asking Sidney to drop its property tax levy on the site for 10 years. They are also asking the Town to waive zoning, development and building permit fees, as well as development cost charge fees. Steven Heywood/News staff

Denis Paquette may see his decade-long vision for a grand directional sign come to fruition yet. The owner of the Sidney Waterfront Inn has been trying to see changes in the welcome and directional signage in the Town of Sidney — especially at the Town’s international ferry terminal —

for years. He had even taken it upon himself to at one time revise existing signs, in an attempt to direct visitors into Sidney proper, instead of bypassing the community. On Monday night, his dream for a sign that better directs visitors into the community moved a big step closer to reality. Yet even Paquette would admit that his goal for a wayfinding

Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More... W. GIFFORD-JONES, MD

Seventeen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs (CLD’s). Instead, knowing the research on vitamin C and lysine, as well as the side-effects of CLD’s, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

Medi-C Plus™, with vitamin C and lysine, is available at health food stores and select natural pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal.

I do not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine and I’m glad I did! I turned 91 this year and still write a weekly column and travel across Canada speaking on the benefits of healthy living. To join me on the road go to: www.docgiff.com

New welcome sign may finally see the light of day

Cardiovascular System

sign at the Anacortes Ferry terminal could have gone by the wayside again. Sidney town council had considered dropping the project from its budget this year and reallocating $15,000 in its economic development fund to a new plan to build a pedestrian shelter in park space next to the terminal. Paquette made a lastminute plea to speak with council Monday night at their committee meeting. He admitted that the group he was working with on designs had dragged its feet on an updated model that was less expensive than their first option from a few months ago. However, their latest design was less expensive — yet Paquette said it, at between $25,000 and $27,000 — is still expected to exceed the Town’s budget of $15,000. “It’s achievable,” he said. Mayor Steve Price suggested that the price tag would be too high and that Town staff should search for other sources of money within the budget to pay for the sign. Price asked that the $15,000 be re-allocated to the shelter project. Councillor Peter Wainwright, however, said he was not com-

fortable with using economic development money for a shelter which has almost no relationship to that portfolio. “I feel a shelter is not an economic development function,” he said, suggesting that staff look to the budget surplus fund to cover the cost of the shelter. Wainwright added he was okay with using the $15,000 already earmarked for the sign for its intended purpose. While it was noted the proposed sign was more expensive than planned, councillors felt both the municipality and perhaps the business community could step up to pay the balance. “We need to have a proper sign up there,” said Coun. Barbara Fallot. “I’d rather find the money for it, than for the shelter.” Price asked if the sign’s price range was firm and Paquette assured him it was. Council voted to keep the money allocated to the sign — and start work on it this year — and come up with an estimated $12,000 out of surplus of contingency funds. The shelter, too, is expected to be completed this year as part of park and sidewalk upgrades along First Street.

OUR VIEW

A reconciliation we can all do

fter six years, countless tears and thousands of emotional accountings of residential school experiences, the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission report is out. Rather than making broad-based, sweeping recommendations that are more a state of mind, the report makes nearly 100 specific action points aimed at such things as helping aboriginal people recapture their culture, educating the general population about the country’s aboriginal heritage and creating government policies and programs designed to enhance our understanding of the importance of that heritage and the distinctiveness of Canada’s aboriginal people. The phrase “cultural genocide” was introduced as a way to describe the systematic removal of aboriginal children from their homes and families and the residential school system’s abhorrent strategy of “taking the Indian out Indians.” It was an attempt to sever the cultural connection that saw aboriginal elders and heads of families pass on their language and other traditional heritage to younger generations. In the 1960s, leaders in Quebec sought to have their province’s “distinct society” – its majority French-speaking population, unique culture and civil law tradition – officially recognized by the government of Canada. Two attempts to entrench such uniqueness failed, as have subsequent referendums on separation. Nonetheless, Quebec and its uniqueness in this country are today recognized as an integral part of Canada’s heritage and cultural makeup. The same recognition must be afforded Canada’s First Nations. Fortunately, work has begun, little by little, to acknowledge aboriginal distinctiveness in Canadian life. Righting past wrongs will take more than simply throwing money at the problem of residual anger and shame over residential school abuses. It will take further inclusionary practices and action by individuals just as much as by governments. Rather than making statements like “What does this have to do with me?” or, “It wasn’t my parents or grandparents who did that,” we all need to ask ourselves, “what can I do personally to change the way I feel about aboriginal people in my community?” It’s a matter of systemically re-imagining the relationship between aboriginal and non-aboriginal people on a personal, individual level. It’s about treating all people as fellow human beings, free of judgment, with respect. It’s something we can all do. — Black Press What do you think?

Take a reading before making noise Re: Quash the anti-noise bylaw, PNR May 27, 2015. It is unfortunate that noise legislation is needed in the first place. But with the advent of cheap leaf blowers, chain saws, gas weed eaters, hedge trimmers, high lift mowers, pressure washers and jack hammers, combined with municipal governments’ push toward densification, those very governments must ensure that excessive noise is restricted to certain designated periods of the week. Noise (unwanted sound) is insideous and knows no property bounds. It has been linked to many

stress related disorders and in this climate where windows are open year ‘round, there simply is no way of escaping the noise made by an unobservant insensitive neighbour. I sympathize with Mr. Lam’s situation, but we’re all in this together and all of us must somehow cooperate in allowing hard workin’ busy guys like Roger Lam to get his yard fixed up without driving other hard workin’ busy guys like me, crazy. I understand why North Saanich had to make this bylaw and I applaud it, but if we looked out for our neighbours a little better, we wouldn’t need such legislation.

So next time, take a reading on the ‘hood’ and think before you pull that start cord. Don Chambers Brentwood Bay

Active versus passive fund performance in 2014 W

hy do so many investors continue to hold mutual funds, despite long-term evidence of their consistent underperformance? Once again, Standard & Poor’s Indexes Versus Active Scorecard (SPIVA) has released its findings for Canadian funds for the year ended Dec. 31, 2014. While the entire report can be accessed online, the following is a brief summary:

• In 2014, only 26.47% of Canadian active equity fund managers outperformed the S&P/TSX Index. Over the past five years the rate of outperformance dropped to 20%. • Among active managers in the Canadian Dividend & Income Equity sector only 6.67% beat the comparable Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index in 2014. Zero percent of the active managers beat the Index over the past five years. • In the U.S. Equity sector, only 11.1% of active funds beat the S&P 500 Index. Over five years the rate

of outperformance declined to 2.90%. • In the International Equity sector, 30% of active funds beat the Index in 2014; only 13.16% did so over five years.

While the specific performance numbers vary each year, the historical trend-line remains unchanged. Every year, in every major market sector, the average mutual fund underperforms its comparable Index. The poor average performance in any single year deteriorates further when compared over five years. Many investors remain unaware of both the significant fees they currently pay on their portfolios, and the high-likelihood of their mutual funds significantly underperforming their index benchmarks. The mutual fund industry’s dismal track record continues to be accepted by millions of Canadians. The real beneficiaries of this strategy continue to be primarily the fund providers, and the investment advisers selling

Financial Savvy mutual funds to a generally under-informed public. Yes, mutual funds are a convenient vehicle for achieving broad diversification. And yes, it is convenient to rely on an investment house to hold the investments and provide periodic reports to the investor. But, is this convenience worth the high annual fees and consistently poor performance? Ten or 15 years ago, investors wishing to achieve broad diversification in their investments had little choice but to choose mutual funds and to accept their high fees. Today however, several major options exist. Very low-cost Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Index Funds are available,

often at less than one fifth the cost of mutual funds. Neither of these options strive to beat the chosen Index — rather, they simply track it, usually with minimal tracking error. The significance of a 2% reduction in annual holding costs is dramatic. It is equivalent to improving portfolio performance by 2%. With the average annual total return of Canadian equity markets over the last ten years averaging approximately 8%, a comparable mutual fund would have needed to outperform the market by roughly 25% annually, in order for the investor to simply break even with the Index. As the SPIVA reports have repeatedly demonstrated, beating the market by this margin, on a consistent basis, is almost impossible. A partial solution to this problem will be welcome after July 1, 2016 when fee structures must become more transparent. New regulations will require full and clear disclosure by mutual

fund salespersons, of all fees embedded in each fund, and of his/her personal benefit from the fees charged. The disclosures will come as a shock to many investors, likely accelerating the already-emerging shift to less expensive options. Saving for investment is a long and challenging exercise for

most of us. Before investing those savings for our long-term future, it makes sense to thoroughly understand the pros and cons of any investment, and to make a fully-informed decision. Based on all available evidence to-date, mutual funds would be at the bottom of my

personal choices.

New app helps citizens collect ocean data VICTORIA — Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) at the University of Victoria and the Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) are teaming up with citizen scientists to increase the quality and range of oceanographic data being collected through a new mobile app called Community Fishers. The app, developed by ONC, allows fishers and volunteer citizens participating in PSF’s citizen science program to collect data and upload it to ONC’s world-leading data management system, Oceans 2.0. From there, the data is archived, processed and visualized for scientists and the public around the world. “We’re thrilled that ONC can exercise its ocean innovation muscles to fill this gap in technology,” says Kate Moran, president and CEO of ONC.

“This app has the potential to greatly increase the volume of ocean data essential for responsible ocean management.” The app sits on a tablet or smart phone and collects data any place at any time, which the operator transfers via Wi-Fi to Oceans 2.0. The citizen scientists include active and retired fishermen, vessel operators from Vancouver Island University, and other local mariners. As part of the U.S.Canada Salish Sea Marine Survival Project, the PSF is leading Canadian efforts in the Strait of Georgia to understand the causes of declines in coho and chinook salmon. It has rigged nine small privately owned boats with Wi-Fi enabled instruments to continuously measure water variables such as temperature salinity and oxygen content

throughout the Strait of Georgia and Juan de Fuca Strait. Ocean Networks Canada built the app to automatically handle time synchronization, GPS location tracking, simple wireless transfer of data, and much more. “To understand what’s limiting Pacific salmon abundance in the Salish Sea, we need a large amount of very detailed data over an extensive period of time and covering a large geographic area,” says Brian Riddell, president and CEO of PSF. “This partnership will provide the professional collating and processing of data essential to the success of our program.” For more on ONC, visitoceannetworks.ca.

NEWS REVIEW

Land appraisal and negotiations between Town and GVRDS will begin right away continued from page 1

On Monday night, council voted to have Town staff begin negotiations with the Society. During their discussion on the proposal, a majority of council indicated they like the plan, yet all had some concerns with various aspects of it. Parking, especially, was at the top of that list. Under the GVRDS plan, the 50-stall parking lot would be replaced by the building, and 40-stall underground lot. This would require the Town to waive its parking requirements. A staff report noted this decline in the amount of parking spaces in that area might be supplemented by a proposed car sharing program by the GVRDS. “I hope that we can

look at options to increase walking in Sidney,” said Coun. Barbara Fallot, who wondered if the municipality might be able to piggyback on the proposed underground parking area. “If a hole is being dug already (for underground parking), is it possible to go deeper?” Town Chief Administrative Officer Randy Humble said its might be hard to justify the cost to the municipality to add another level of parking. He added that in his view, underground parking for the public is a last resort. Coun. Tim Chad said he’s fine with fewer parking spaces downtown and that was echoed by Mayor Steve Price. “We need to wean people off of parking downtown,” Price said,

Peter Wainwright indicating the Town is currently exploring the creation of a large lot south of the Mary Winspear Centre and encouraging employees to use it. “The Town will have parking options,” Price continued, “just not in the downtown core. That’s the way it’s going to be ... you don’t necessarily get to park where you want to.” Wainwright expects this proposal will generate a lot of discussion in the community.

“It is a six-storey building,” he noted, “plus (the GVRDS) is looking for a lot of breaks. We have to look at its overall merits. “I don’t know that we have any of this kind of housing in Sidney,” Wainwright continued. The 52 units in the proposal would always remain affordable, say the proponents. With four other workforce or affordable housing projects either built or in stream, the GVRDS bases their prices on the current Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) affordability standard. The maximum household annual income that might quality for one of the units would be $65,000. Rental unit prices would be based on 30 per cent of a person’s income and the GVRDS would enter into agree-

ments that would see this affordability be maintained in perpetuity. GVRDS spokesperson Alanna Holroyd said they are working to keep costs down to maintain the low cost to their customers. She added the Society feels that without the tax break and lifting of fees, they would not be able to afford to buy the land from the municipality at a fair market value, or even build the project. Council unanimously voted to have Town staff start the land appraisal process and negotiations for the sale of the parking lot. Before further decisions are made, council will receive a staff report on those talks, as well as information on the scope of tax and other cost breaks being afforded the project.

News staff

At just 12-weeks-old, Polly rings a bell and calmly waits for her chance to go outside to relieve herself. The golden labrador is in the guiding hands of Saanich couple Vic Gnaedinger and Susan Frizzell. The goal is to graduate Polly through the B.C. & Alberta Guide Dogs program as an autism support dog or guide dog. Polly was at the centre of attention last week in front of the Children’s Health Foundation office, as the Saanich-based organization donated $15,000 to the B.C. Guide Dogs program. In turn, the Children’s Health Foundation were given the opportunity to name Polly. “We chose the name for one of the first children Queen Alexandra Solarium treated at the original Mill Bay location in the 1920s,” said CEO Linda Hughes of Children’s Health Foundation. “In those days, the focus was tuberculosis and polio. It just goes to show you how the needs of children have changed.” The solarium relocated to Saanich in the 1950s and the Children’s Health Foundation came after that. It’s the first time Friz-

Polly, who is named after one of the first children Queen Alexandra Solarium treated at the original Mill Bay location in the 1920s, will be raised as a guide dog to assist an autistic teen.

Butterfly Ball raises record donations for CHF

Children’s Health Foundation held its seventh annual Butterfly Ball, for father and daughter, and raised the most to date: $44,000. The ball was held on May 2 at the Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour and tickets sold out in less than a week. Dinner, dancing, games and a live and silent auction made up the evening. The event included a personal story shared by a local family of how support from the foundation has made a difference to them. The Butterfly Ball has now generated over $185,000 in support of children and youth with disabilities and health challenges across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. The money supports child and youth mental health, the Queen Alexandra Summer Camp, the purchase of therapeutic equipment, Jeneece Place and the Bear Essentials Program, which helps families cover costs related to their children’s medical care. — Saanich News/Black Press

May hosts open houses in June and July SIDNEY — Elizabeth May, Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada is holding a series of town halls throughout the riding in June and July — and only one on the Saanich Peninsula during that time. Town halls will be held in: Pender Island, Saturna Island, Salt Spring Island, Galiano Island, North Saanich, Saanich and Mayne Island. Due to the pending election this fall, May is changing the normal schedule of town halls. Normally this round would have occurred between Labour Day and mid-September. Her staff report that it has been difficult to find venues and for May to be in Parliament during the week days in June. “We apologize for

There’s 470L with the rear seats up and 1,492L with the seats folded down. And those rear seats fold flat. Flat as in flat as a pancake. An added bonus is that the bumper/trunk isn’t particularly high off the ground. So if you have trouble lifting larger or heavier items up, this will be a welcome perk. Though my road bicycle isn’t particularly heavy, it is awkward. But when placing it inside the Fit, its wide trunk opening, low seats and fold flat features got a 10/10 in my books.

I’m not saying there is anything fundamentally wrong with this setup. It’s just not my first choice. That said, it’s not a deal breaker. Bluetooth comes standard on all models; so do power windows. And of course, the aforementioned Magic Seats, which allow you to configure the cabin in ways that will astonish you. On the road, the Fit also shines. A roomy cabin, combined with enhanced NVH properties so road noises are kept at bay make for a serene environment. Its electric power-assisted rack and pinion steering (EPS) move the Fit in and out of tight spots with ease and little effort. Though at highway speeds, you still feel connected to the car. Its charm extends much further than its practical characteristics. The Fit is a joy to drive and has flair in the looks department. Overall, the Fit fits well with me and I’m very happy about that.

Industry-licensed technicians • Modern Equipment • Coast to Coast Warranty • Premium products you know & the Brands you can trust!

By Keith Morgan

Ford is opening its portfolio of electrified vehicle technology patents to competitive automakers to accelerate industry-wide research and development of electrified vehicles. In 2014, Ford filed for 400-plus electrified vehicle patents – more than 20 percent of the total patents the company applied for last year “Innovation is our goal,” said Kevin Layden, director, Ford Electrification Programs. “The way to provide the best technology is through constant development and progress. By sharing our research with other companies, we will accelerate the growth of electrified vehicle technology and deliver even better products to customers.” Ford Motor Company

currently offers six hybrid or fully electrified vehicles including Ford Focus Electric, Ford Fusion Hybrid, Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid, Ford C-MAX Hybrid, Ford C-MAX Energi plug-in hybrid and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. In total, Ford has more than 650 electrified vehicle patents and approximately 1,000 pending patent applications on electrified vehicle technologies.

Ford believes sharing its patented technologies will promote faster development of future inventions as all automakers look toward greater opportunities. “As an industry, we need to collaborate while we continue to challenge each other,” said Layden. “By sharing ideas, companies can solve bigger challenges and help improve the

industry.” As part of Ford’s increased focus on new and innovative technologies, the automaker is set to hire an additional 200 electrified vehicle engineers this year as the team moves into a newly dedicated facility – Ford Engineering Laboratories – home to Henry Ford’s first labs in Dearborn. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.

Overnight stays to create ‘private hospitals’: NDP Private clinics may be hired for more than day surgery Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province may let contracted private clinics keep patients overnight for as long as three days so they can take on more complex surgeries than the day procedures they’ve so far been permitted to perform. That possibility is mentioned in a health ministry discussion paper of potential surgical reforms that’s gone out for stakeholder comment. “Improved access to surgical services may include performing select surgical procedures which have length of stay up to three days, in private surgery centres using public funds,” the paper says, adding the change would require amending the Hospital Act. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake announced an extra $10 million Monday to perform more day surgeries this summer — some through private clinics using public funds — in order to cut wait times. But NDP health critic Judy Darcy said letting private surgery clinics go beyond day surgery to multi-day stays

would be tantamount to turning them into full-fledged “private hospitals.” Private surgery clinics so far perform barely one per cent of government-funded procedures in B.C. when public operating rooms aren’t available. Longer patient stays would open the door to many more surgeries flowing to private facilities, Darcy said, adding critical staff may follow, further reducing capacity in public hospitals. “Health professionals are in short supply — anaethesiologists, specialty nurses — and if we drain them out of the public system into the private system we effectively become captive to private for-profit clinics,” Darcy said. She called the proposal a “game changer” that has been quietly advanced under the guise of a short-term “band-aid” to cut waits. “They ought to be doing the innovation and the strategic investment to use our public system to the maximum.” Fraser Health does not initially foresee hiring private clinics to supply the extra 500 surgeries it plans over the summer — it will open more of its own closed operating rooms. But the Vancouver Island and and Vancouver Coastal health authorities have indicated they expect to

Doctors of B.C. president Dr. Bill Cavers said health watchdogs are right to be wary of the potential to drain staff from the public system, but said the association believes some increased use of private surgery clinics “can be a good idea” as long as it’s publicly administered and funded, and quality and safety standards are upheld.

Demand on hospitals can vary due to flu season or a backlog of patients waiting for a particular procedure, he said. “We feel that utilizing different avenues of access to care can improve the overall efficiency of the system,” Cavers said. “We have surgeons right now who can’t get enough operating room time.” He said he doesn’t foresee large numbers of clinics opening to the extent that they might cause problems for the public system.

Local masters picked for international events News contributor

When it comes to throwing your weight around, Carl Jensen and Adam Drummond excel both in performance and in coaching younger athletes at the Peninsula Track Club. Following their impressive efforts at the recent Victoria Highland Games, they have been asked to join the field of hammer throwers at the Victoria International Track Classic at the University of Victoria Stadium on June 10. The hammer they will be throwing there, however, will not be like the one they heaved at the Highland Games. The traditional Games hammers have the standard hammerlike head on a straight wooden handle and are thrown over the shoulder with no turning. In fact, the shoes worn in this event have long spikes on the toes to help them dig into the turf to maintain their balance. No cage is involved. In normal track competition, the head of the hammer is a round ball attached to a wire handle and the thrower, from within a cage for the sake of safety, is allowed to make multiple turns, sometimes as many as five, before releasing the missile.

Carl Jensen, above, and Adam Drummond have been asked to throw against a raft of international competition at UVic on June 10.

While in track meets a thrower can choose what he wishes to throw — from the ham-

mer, shot, discus and javelin — in the Games he must throw all five Scottish implements.

They are the hammer, as described, the stone, the weight — both for distance and height — and the caber, which resembles a telegraph pole and must go forward and topple over to land in a straight line away from the thrower. The stone, the hammer and the weight, which must be thrown forward for distance and up and over a bar for height, are all much heavier than the track and field “toys”. “We are thrilled to be picked for the International Classic,” said Jensen, who is also a municipal councillor with the District of Central Saanich. “Having a chance to compete against top throwers from both Canada and around the world is a real challenge, but it will certainly help to improve our techniques and results.” Drummond, who will also represent Canada against the U.S.A. in the Bellingham Highland Games this coming weekend, revels in the chance he has to work with Pen Track’s younger athletes at their mid-week practices. “It is such a delight to see them get involved in the throwing events and to see how much improvement they make during the season.”

Both men will be gunning for titles at the B.C. Highland Games Cham-

pionships to be held in Port Coquitlam on June 20.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

Peninsula News Review

2015 Readers’ Choice Awards The Muse Winery was the location once again for the 2015 Peninsula News Review Readers’ Choice Awards evening May 28, and once again it was a beautiful evening with an excellent turnout of Saanich Peninsula business owners and community leaders. More than 100 people were on hand as PNR staff, including Publisher Jim Parker, advertising representatives Dale Naftel and Christopher Cook and Editor Steven Heywood, handed out the hardware. The top three in a multitude of categories — from Favourite Art Gallery to Favourite Place to Hear Music — received certificates and plaques, in recognition of their dedication to customer service. Chosen by readers of the Peninsula News Review, the annual Readers’ Choice Awards is a reflection of who and what people think are doing some great work in the Saanich Peninsula business community. This year’s contest, held online and in the print editions of the PNR, saw approximately 500-plus ballots come in for tallying. Congratulations to all of this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards winners.

All smiles. From Madrona Massage Therapy and Acupuncture, Kristi Millner and Wendy Courtemanche enjoy some of the fare at the Muse Winery in North Saanich. More than 100 people attended this year’s PNR Readers’ Choice Award gala event on May 28.

Real estate market strong and steady SIDNEY — Real estate activity in Greater Victoria during the month of May was up 26.8 per cent over the same month last year, says a report released this week by the Victoria Real Estate Board. A total of 905 properties sold in Greater Victoria, compared to 714 properties sold in May 2014. “We’ve not seen this many sales in May since 2007 when we saw 963 properties sell in the month,” Victoria Real Estate Board president Guy Crozier says. “Despite the demand, prices remain competitive and there is great variety in what is available.” On the Saanich Peninsula, 60 single family homes were sold in May — 16 in Central Saanich and 22 each in North Saanich and Sidney. Average prices ranged from $659,600 in North Saanich to $520,900 in Central Saanich and $462,200 in Sidney. There were also 17 condos and three townhouses

Four manufactured homes were sold in Central Saanich while one sold in Sidney. The only lot sold in May on the Peninsula was in Central Saanich, at a value of

$590,000. Across Greater Victoria, there were 4,043 active listings for sale on the Multiple Listing Service at the end of May, 13.5 per cent fewer than the 4,672 active listings in May 2014. “May was another great month for local real estate. It’s been a very active month for sales and listings, and we continue to see consumer confidence in our market as people continue to purchase properties,” Crozier says.
