Wildlife battle rages for area farmer

Watch for breaking news at www.peninsulanewsreview.com

‘Worst year ever’ says Central Saanich’s Jack Mar on a losing battle to protect crops from wildlife Jim Zeeben News staff

Squirrels in the strawberries, rabbits in the bush beans and deer in the kale. Not to mention birds in the berries. Wildlife seems to be taking over at Central Saanich farmer Jack Mar’s property. It’s gotten so bad, the 75-year-old spent four nights camping out in his van to try and catch the crop thieves red-handed. “But I couldn’t spot them,” he says. “This is the worst year I’ve ever seen for birds, rabbits, deer and squirrels,” says Mar, who started his career as a farmer right after graduating 55 years ago. “I’ve never had all these varmints in one year like this,” Mar says. “I just hope it doesn’t continue over the summer.” Mar has filed an application with Central Saanich for an easement to allow a perimeter fence on municipal land. That would help with deer, which have had little problem getting past a fence Mar “I’ve never had all erected on the Martindale Road property he rents. On Monday morning, Mar said he had these varmints in one to chase away two large deer that were chewyear like this.

Mar is also in the process of filling out paperwork for a firearms discharge permit to allow him to use a shotgun to protect his livelihood. However, it’s unclear if his property is large enough to meet municipal requirements. Windsor says he’s looking into whether there’s any room to reduce those requirements, which may be more stringent than provincial regulations. Mar, who co-chairs the Peninsula Agricultural Commission, says deer and geese are causing problems for many farmers in Central Saanich. Jim Zeeben/News staff

Tip of the Peninsula Enhanced access to health care

VICTORIA – Vancouver Island’s frail, elderly and vulnerable residents will have enhanced access to primary health care services thanks to a $1.4 million investment in Nurse Practitioners (NPs) by Island Health. Island Health will hire eight additional NPs to deliver care to high need, under-serviced populations in Mount Waddington, Nanaimo, Ladysmith, the Saanich Peninsula, Salt Spring Island and Victoria. The NPs will work with primary care physicians and other health professionals to care for the frail, the elderly, those living with multiple chronic illnesses and mental health and substance use issues, as well as Aboriginal and maternity patients, and those without a family doctor. The Island Health investment is part of the Ministry of Health’s NP4BC three-year initiative to boost NP numbers across the province. — Island Health

There is still time to get a team into the second annual Bed Races on Beacon — but with nearly half of the slots already filled, time is running out. Sidney’s Rest Haven Foundation is bringing the races back again this August, after a roucus and fun-filled day last summer. Foundation Executive Director Brenda Hennigar says they have expanded the field to 30 teams this time — based on the demand from last year’s inaugural races. Teams returning this year include the Island Health Red Riding Hood/Big Bad Wolf

crew — as well as rivals TD Bank and the Town of Sidney. Hennigar says the good-natured trash talk has already started between the two, so the competition should be spirited come race day. “The word is getting out about just how crazy it is,” she says. New sponsors have gotten into bed with the the Foundation this time. Hennigar says radio station The Q is the event’s title sponsor and is giving away something called “Get in Bed with Ed,” where a luck winner gets to ride along with radio

The stroller races for kids will not be happening this time, Hennigar said, but there will be an obstacle course,

face painting and other activities. Last year’s Bed Races raised more than $20,000 for the Rest Haven Foundation and Hennigar says they hope to beat that amount. Proceeds go towards palliative care at Sidney’s Rest Haven

Lodge. Once again this year, the race takes place on Sidney’s main street, Beacon Avenue, between 5th and 3rd streets. On race day, Sunday, August 16, the heats begin at noon. Hennigar says each team is guaranteed two races, facing elimination en route to the finals. Ever ything is expected to wrap up at around 3:30 p.m., she says. To find out more, or to enter a bed race team, email Hennigar at info@resthavenfoundation.com.

Farmer fighting off large population of birds, squirrels and rabbits Continued from page 1

Industrial group left ‘howling in the wind’ Sidney North Saanich Industrial Group remains at odds with local political opposition to new housing development Tim Collins News Contributor

The hash tag reads #donthaveamillion. It’s a social media campaign that started in Vancouver but which has struck a chord with John Juricic, the Executive Director of the Sidney North Saanich Industrial Group and the 12 companies that his group represents. “It’s a campaign that we’ve signed onto and the hope is that it will raise awareness of the fact that there are a lot of people out there who are working hard make a living but who are never going to be able to afford a house.” Juricic said that the campaign has generated a lot of interest and is relevant, not only in Vancouver, but to Vancouver Island as well. Juricic said that the problem is particularly daunting in North Saanich where the Sidney North Saanich Industrial Group, is finding the lack of housing has an impact on their ability to attract and keep skilled employees. “This area’s mayor and council have for a long time been very anti-development,” said Juricic. “They seem locked in time and very resistant to change that will allow their community to grow.”

“It’s not right, and it isn’t good for the community. I’m not sure why (the mayor and council of North Saanich) can’t see that.”

Thrifty Foods GM says farewell Jim Dores, who led Thrifty Foods since 2010, to retire Daniel Palmer News staff

Changes are in the works at the helm of Thrifty Foods. After 42 years in the grocery industry, current Thrifty GM Jim Dores will be retiring in July, and by all accounts, he’ll miss running the Island-born brand. “Grocery shopping is such a mundane, boring task and to see somebody happy with what they’re spending their money on, that makes me happy. Thrifty Foods was a good fit because that’s their specialty,” Dores said from the Thrifty Foods Saanichton headquarters. The Hamilton, Ont. native got his start in groceries in high school, when he got a job at a local grocer putting out a produce rack each morning and taking it down again after class. Jim Dores Sobeys purchased Thrifty Foods in 2007 from Alex Campbell for $260 million. Dores joined the Thrifty Foods team in late-2010, and he maintains the company culture is like nothing he’s ever experienced. “I think it’s his legacy,” Dores said. “I believe it came from Alex Campbell’s vision and the way he liked to do business and it’s so gratifying to see that his legacy has lived on.” Please see: Grocery business is changing, page 8

OUR VIEW

Farmers need better tools

armers on the Saanich Peninsula, like Jack Mar, find themselves in a tough position — trying to make a living while fighting against a seemingly insurmountable foe — wildlife. Or perhaps it’s the people who love wildlife that present a bigger danger to a farmer’s livelihood. This space has been critical in the past about people’s interference in the natural order of things — from deer culls and predator relocation, to the introduction of non-native species — seen as a major cause of farm-animal conflicts — in the first place. And then there’s the Disney-fication of wildlife — or giving them more human qualities such as the same emotions and attitudes you or someone else might have. Doing that just throws reason and common sense out the window. Certainly, we could be seen to be a little soft on wildlife. (And why not? Wildlife is an essential part of life in B.C., not to mention everywhere else on the planet). But we agree there should be a balance sought to ensure both our survival and that of the critters on the Island and Saanich Peninsula specifically. When it comes to our survival, try not to take that too literally. However, there’s an argument to be made that we need all the productive farmland we can get — what with drought the order of the day in the other regions from which most of our food comes from. Whittle away at farmers’ livelihoods and that land — or the food on it at least — could disappear. Local farmers need better tools to deal with varmints tearing into their crops. And we’re not talking firearms — residential areas have grown up too close for that to be a reality on the Saanich Peninsula. Municipal red tape needs to become more streamlined to recognize these problems and react better to farmers’ requests for fencing and other easements. Central Saanich, in the meantime, embarks on a cull of geese this month. While that may work in the short term, more longer-term solutions must be sought, and that means being able to work with the experts in the fields

End the over development of Sidney In recent months the airways and papers are full of real estate prices, reduction of farm lands and more importantly climate change and the three-year summer drought we are experiencing on the west coast. Every time I go into Sidney I get more frustrated with traffic, the shortage of parking and every municipal lot being redeveloped for multi complex units. I cannot understand the shortsightedness of elected politicians, supporting the over-development of Sidney. It was understandable when the development was near the downtown core but now when you drive the outskirts it seems to be taking hold in these areas. It is not brick and mortar that beautifies our communities. I live in North Saanich (Deep Cove) and every-time the OCP comes up for review I am the one who stands to oppose multi-complex buildings because I don’t want our community to start down the same slippery slope Sidney is on. Being environmentally savvy is not just about re-cycling, re-using and reducing, it is about envisioning the future for the next generations and leaving our most valued commodities to the children of tomorrow. I heard an extensive interview with a climate scientist speaking to the problems in California. What it boiled down to was this state was never intended to house 30-plus million people — it was supposed to be a food producing state but is now a tourist destination. That bus left the

station and industry and tourism ranks higher for the “need” for water so no reallocation for water to farmers. Yes, there are things they can do in food-raising to reduce demand on water for almond farmers and beef, but there is no denying that we are building upwards for the more desirable places in British Columbia (Vancouver, Victoria, Sidney) for the shortage of land base to build outwards. I guess we are witnessing firsthand what it means in the saying “the root of all evil is money.” Look around, affordable housing for a shoebox starts at $399,000, then there are those pesky condo fees and rising property taxes upwards of $5,000 per year. No worries, the young and the old can move to the north or interior of B.C. Jo-Anne Berezanski North Saanich

A dose of health skepticism When that “decarbonization” promise to end all fossil fuel use by the year 2100 came in the closing communique of the just-completed G7 meeting in Germany, I couldn’t help but think of H. G. Wells. Exactly 100 years ago the prolific British commentator first wrote that The Great War was “the war to end all wars.” His statement was often repeated, most notably by the then U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, whom philosopher George Santayana was quick to inform: “Only the dead have seen

the end of wars.” Turns out the philosopher was closer to the truth than the politician, as there are wars in some part of the globe on an almost continuous basis, with no end remotely in sight. Presently, we have seven politicians sitting down for their annual discussion and coming up with usually vague and often meaningless, declarations about security, terrorism, economies, etc. Now this decarbonization pledge. Let’s be honest with ourselves, who believes very much of what any politician says, and who really believes them during election campaigns when they make promises to be kept a few years hence? Now we are supposed to believe a promise to be kept 85 years hence? Some environmentalists may claim victory in this G7 decarbonization pledge, but they should be prepared to hold their breaths for the next 85 years and see how things work out. In my jaundiced view, this may be the political promise to end all political promises; George Santayana may probably have agreed, with: “Skepticism, like chastity, should not be relinquished too readily.” Bernie Smith Parksville

LETTERS Loss of parking space doesn’t make sense F

rom the Workforce housing comes to Sidney, PNR June 5, 2015 headline (rather than “proposed in”), it’s treated as a fait accompli that this proposal is going ahead. To be clear, I have no objective to this type of housing proposal or the idea of making the Town pedestrianfriendly. This may be the right idea, but half a block from Beacon Avenue puts it in the wrong place. We have to be care-

ful or Sidney could end up with workforce housing downtown and and fewer businesses downtown for those residents to work in. As a town with a current retail vacancy rate of about 10 per cent, or the second highest in the region, mayor and council should be taking steps to enhance businesses and make it easier for shoppers. Taking away a 50-stall parking lot at the east end of town and replacing it with only a 40-stall

underground lot, while at the same time adding 52 residential units above, along with two floors of commercial space and the consequent need for parking for staff and customers, simply doesn’t add up. It doesn’t help meet the recommendations of the less than one year old Downtown Revitalization Task Force Report. Improving parking was high on the list of ways to improve the shopping experience. Businesses

also pointed to improving parking as one of the ways to deal with problems facing retail business owners. The GVRDS’s website states its goal should be achieved without government subsidy. Yet the Society is asking the Town to waive its parking requirements, drop its property tax levy for 10 years, waive zoning, development and building permit fees, and development cost charge fees. Meanwhile other res-

If council is considering tax breaks, how about lowering commercial property taxes

idents and businesses are expected to continue paying their taxes and levies.

and reducing the business tax rate? Bob Powell North Saanich

Readers respond: Noise, skate park, Sidney’s beacon Noise is sometimes unavoidable We live in an area of many shift workers (airports, ferries, trucking companies, police, firefighters and hospital staff) obviously because of our special location. Saturday and Sunday as well as most major holidays are just another working day for us loving our shift schedules. Most of Canada has now learned to adapt to a 24/7 working week. You will be surprised that many of us, especially in our dysfunctional flying and transportation careers, do not get extra pay to work special days such as Christmas and Easter. It just came with the job. My point is that often, when you consider your entitlement of quiet hours on the weekends, it may well be the only time we have available to tame our gardens, wash the cars, mow etc. before we set off on another fractured work schedule. Do we come pounding on your doors day and night when we are trying to get our rest and you are out there with all your garden implements and or loud music/families/barking dogs/ guests or whatever? Have any of us gone moaning to North Saanich council about our inconsiderate neighbours? No. Most of us did not choose this lifestyle of putting up with noise pollution but it comes with living life in this day and age. Just sit back, take a deep breath and focus on the fact our noise is really not there to deliberately antagonize you. Actually for many of us the airport, ferry terminal and of course the Pat Bay highway were here long before our homes were built. Our life styles have totally changed over the past four decades. Just get yourself to a local store and get some ear plugs. Kenna Blair North Saanich

Keep the skate park I’m against the removal/relocation of the skate park at the entrance to Sidney for two reasons. 1. There is not much for the pre-teen/teen age group youth to do in Sidney as it is. 2. What an eyesore to be driving down Pat Bay and be greeted by a parking lot in such a beautiful seaside town. I fear that Sidney may eventually lose its seaside charm. Growth and development isnt always a good thing. Janet Wright Saanichton

Skate park a boon Kudos to anyone trying to save the skate park. Sidney is hard enough on young people. We have a multitude of things for children to do but once they reach the teenage years it’s a lot tougher to keep busy. The skate park is perfect for people of all ages to be active and enjoy our town. We don’t

want “skaters” on the sidewalks and the park gives them a place to gather. Build a four or five level parking garage at the corner of Second Street and Bevan if you need more parking. At least there it is centrally located for our downtown core. Murray Savage Sidney

Beacon lost

hopeful for the future type.

With regard to your article in the June 12 edition, the lighting of the beacon on Beacon Avenue, two years ago, on behalf of the Vancouver Island Branch of the Royal Commonwealth Society, of which I am the current president, I approached Sidney town hall to see if the beacon could be lit to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. The Society would have been overjoyed to report to London that the late night lighting of the beacons throughout the commonwealth for the Queen’s Jubilee would have culminated here in Sidney. I was informed by the office that the repair to the beacon would be costly for natural gas, but an option could be an electric light. As a Rotarian as well, I would like the funding to be remembered and appreciated by the Town of Sidney. It is surprising how many people don’t even know the beacon exists! To help my quest to have the beacon brought to life, I enlisted the help of local Town Crier, Kenny Podmore, who took up my cause and to whom I am thankful. Sadly, the effort to awaken the beacon of Beacon Street, which could have been much needed promotion for the Vancouver Island Branch of the Royal Commonwealth Society, has been lost.

NEWS REVIEW

Grocery business is changing Continued from page 1

The grocery business is changing, Dores admitted, and Thrifty Foods will be facing some tough competitors in the next few years on the Island. Earlier this year, U.S.-based giant Whole Foods announced it will be settling into Uptown Centre by 2016, and speculation continues about the development of a Loblawsowned empty lot on Douglas Street. “We have big box, conventional grocery, discount stores, drug stores selling groceries and everybody’s trying to do it a little bit differently

but ultimately it’s still just groceries,” Dores said. “Thrifty Foods will have to get even better at what we do to survive in the market, and the guys here know that as well. Ultimately, it’s going to be a win for the customer.” Dores will be replaced by Lorne MacLean, who comes from Cape Breton, N.B. and has worked his way up with Sobeys over the past 35 years. “Lorne will be a great fit for Thrifty Foods. He’s a seasoned veteran and he know the business, and he’s just thrilled about moving to Vancouver

Island, from one Island to another,” said Dores, who plans to check off bucket-list items that include driving through the Rockies and exploring more of B.C. upon retirement. “This job has been a wonderful experience and the highlight of my career. I’m just so grateful to the employees of Thrifty Foods and the loyalty of the customers who recognize Thrifty Foods for what it is in this market,” Dores said. There are currently 19 Thrifty Foods locations on Vancouver Island, one on Saltspring and six on the Lower Mainland.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of B.C.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more revenue for their product. And Government will collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend on programs such as health care, education and other services that benefit all British Columbians. Plus, we can invest in new training programs and create new jobs for our youth.

Central Saanich brewery strikes gold with IPA Just six months old, Category 12 earns national attention Jim Zeeben News staff

Michael Kuzyk was

busy pulling beers at Vancouver Craft Beer Week on the PNE grounds when he heard the news. Category 12, the Central Saanich brewery started by Kuzyk barely six months ago, had just earned its first gold medal at the Canadian Brewing Awards, which were taking place at the same time in Niagara

Falls, Ontario. Disruption Black IPA was judged as the best Amercain Style Black Ale in the country. A friend at the Ontario gala texted Kuzyk, momentarily stopping the flow of beer at his booth for a round of high fives. “It’s the big event of the year,” Kuzyk said of the national awards.

The fact he was taking part in the Vancouver festival with 100 other breweries also awaiting word from Niagara helped make the news a little sweeter. “It’s nice to get some recognition,” said Kuzyk, who grew up on the Saanich Peninsula. “It was nice to get some acceptance into the industry.” The Canadian Brewing Awards, held this year on June 6, received 1,250 submissions for 40 categories of beer. Disruption, one of the beers that helped launch Category 12 last December, was a hit with Greater Victoria’s craft beer scene. “A lot of people who love Disruption said

they knew it (would win),” Kuzyk said. Originally planned to be a fall/winter seasonal, the brewery has stopped production of Disruption for now to make way for two summer beers. However, depending on the availability of hops and finding time in the small brewery’s schedule, Kuzyk hasn’t ruled out an early run of Disruption. Current plans call for the next batch to be out in late fall. Jim Zeeben/News staff

Since then, the group has developed its style into a mix of bluegrass and original music — stemming from a college that gets high marks for its faculty steeped in American roots music. Wickwire said her son recently completed his Masters degree in contemporary impro-

Wickwire said the Saanichton stop this week is the first for The Lonely Heartstring Band as they embark on a short tour to promote their new CD, Deep Waters. Their next stop will be at the Sooke Bluegrass Festival on June

Proud mom Wendy Wickwire is looking forward to seeing her son on stage in Saanichton this week. Her son, Patrick M’Gonigle, plays violin in The Lonely Heartstring Band, based out of Boston. They will be at the Saanichton Bible Fellowship Church on Thursday, June 18. They will be joined by the band Mile Twelve, another group that has its roots at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. “So, nine musicians from Boston are coming here,” Wickwire said. “They’re an interesting group.” The Lonely Heartstring Band got its start, she explained, when someone went to the college looking for a group of people that could play Beatles cover songs at a function.

Heritage schoolhouse opens doors CENTRAL SAANICH — The West Saanich Heritage Schoolhouse in Brentwood Bay is now a lot easier to get into, thanks to the installation of automatic doors and an access panel. On Friday, June 12, members of the Brentwood Bay Old School Hall Society gathered to celebrate the completion of the project, paid for in part by a contribution by the Saanich Fruit Growers Association and the District of Central Saanich. The work was done as part of the ongoing restoration and preservation of the building.

The automatic access doors, and ramp installed last year, will help users of the facility, notably the 2nd Tsartlip Scouts and Guides, who have a couple of leaders with mobility issues. West Saanich School was built in Brentwood Bay in 1908. It is the oldest school on the Peninsula still on its original foundation and served as the local school until 1952 when the current Brentwood Elementary School was built. It has also been the home to local Scouts and Guides since the midsixties A committee of local parents was formed in 1997 to spearhead the restoration and preservation of the old West Saanich Schoolhouse. It is owned by the District of Central Saanich and the committee of parents, now the Brentwood Bay Old School Society, are the stewards of this schoolhouse. It was designated a Heritage building by Central Saanich and is actively used by Scouts and Guides and for other events such as Brentwood Festival and Music in the Park on Wednesday evenings in July and August. — Submitted

Field of 32 advance in women’s tennis

NORTH SAANICH — While the weekend was unlucky for some of the Island’s male and female lacrosse teams, the 17th annual Matt Underwood Midget Tournament helped raise awareness about bone marrow donation and transplants. The youth tournament is held each year to honour the memory of Matt Underwood, recognized for his high calibre of play in both box and field lacrosse. “He was playing at the height of his game and in training camp for the national field lacrosse team when he became ill,” states a notice about the history of the event at penlax.com. “At first it was thought he had mononucleosis, but unfortunately the diagnosis was leukemia. To continue the fight against cancer, each year the participants are encouraged to raise funds and have their head shaved during the tournament.” Spokesperson Linda Cretney said the tournament went well and the head shave event on Saturday featured some very enthusiastic people.

First round action at the $10,000 Victoria International Women’s ITF Tennis tournament got underway this week, following qualifying round action on the weekend. Victoria’s Khristina Blajkevitch is the number seven seed in the event and opened the first round on Tuesday (after the PNR’s deadline). Victoria’s Johana Mui, who is also a tennis instructor at Panorama Recreation Centre, played a couple matches during the qualifying round, dropping her final match to a 17-year-old American. “That was fun, but it’s not easy returning shots from someone a lot faster and stronger,” Mui laughed. “But it’s been a great experience.” The field of 32 includes number one seed, Naomi Totka of Hungary and number two seed, Vancouver’s Rosie Johanson. The tournament has drawn players from Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Hungary and Japan — playing both singles and doubles matches. There are 16 doubles teams in the main draw this week as well. The Peninsula-based tourney, hosted by Tennis Canada and Tennis B.C., is a chance for the players to test the waters of professional tennis as they advance through the ranks to the world stage. It features both cash and world ranking points. Seating is available on court at Panorama’ tennis facility and admission is free. The matches continue through the weekend, with finals on Sunday, June 21. — with files from Jim Zeeben

Iconic Twin Otter in the air since 1965 Tim Collins News Contributor

It was 1965 and the first official Canadian flag was flown over the houses of Parliament. That same year saw the maiden flight of yet another Canadian icon — the Twin Otter. The aircraft mirrors the toughness and resolve of the country where it is made, as well as its knack for survival (but more on that later). That’s why Viking Air will be honouring the shared anniversary of the Canadian Flag and the Twin Otter aircraft by recognizing the aircraft’s unique Canadian heritage through a special 50th anniversary celebration tour. It will see Twin Otters travelling to communities in Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon. The tour, starting July 1 as part of the City of Victoria’s Canada Day celebrations, will see a fleet of Viking aircraft fly over the traditional “living flag” on the lawn of the British Columbia legislature. The aircraft will then depart for a two-anda-half week flying tour of Canada’s North. Viking pilots and dignitaries, along with a documentary film crew, will leave Victoria and head to Yellowknife in two planes, including a Series 400 Twin Otter demonstrator affectionately known as “Viki.” The team will stop at 13 different northern communities and locations, including Canadian Forces bases in Eureka and Alert. Sherry Brydson, chairman of the board of Westerkirk Capital, and her partner Rob McDonald, will also take part in the 17-day northern tour. “The 50th Anniversary Celebration Tour is a way for us to pay tribute to the Canadian north and thank the valued pilots, passengers, owners, operators, mechanics and engineers who have contributed to the Twin Otter’s success,” Brydson said. “We hope to hear and document some of the unique and historic stories of residents who have been served by the Twin Otter since its first flight in 1965, and we’re really looking forward to meeting people across the north with Twin Otter tales to

Viking Air

Viking Air will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Twin Otter by flying some of its Series 400 aircraft from Victoria to various northern Canada destinations this summer. share.” At 11 of the scheduled tour locations, a small celebration ceremony will be held at the local airport to recognize both the plane and the Canadian flag. In each of these communities, residents will be invited to view the Twin Otter Series 400 aircraft, share Twin Otter stories, and sign a wing rib for the 100th Viking production aircraft, scheduled to be

built in 2016. “We welcome all Twin Otter enthusiasts to join us at one of the scheduled celebrations and become part of the ongoing legacy of this remarkable aircraft, said David Curtis, Viking president & CEO.” The Twin Otter is, by all accounts, a remarkable aircraft. It flies the most daunting routes in the world, from ice covered polar regions,

to scorching deserts and soaring mountain ranges. In 2001 it was a twin otter and a Canadian crew that made history by flying a rescue mission to the South Pole, landing in darkness in response to a medical emergency. Viking has sold Series 400 Twin Otter aircraft into 27 countries. Viking manufactures the aircraft at their North Saanich and Calgary facilities.

But in some ways, it’s the very survival of this tough little plane that deserves a celebration. The aircraft nearly met its demise in 1988 when De Havilland, who had created the plane, manufactured its last one. It wasn’t until Viking stepped up in 2008 to revive the Twin Otter that manufacturing resumed. It required Viking to track down de Havilland retirees for information and to scan surviving Twin Otters so that parts could be exactly reproduced. In October of 2010 the first Series 400 Twin Otter took flight. While much of the aircraft, including the wings, is constructed at the 7,800-square-meter plant at the Victoria International Airport, parts are sourced from suppliers in Kansas, Arizona, Lethbridge and Fort Erie.
