Maritime Museum wooed by several up-Island cities Nanaimo, Port Alberni and Campbell River express interest in homeless museum Kendra Wong Victoria News

Several coastal communities on Vancouver Island have expressed interest in having the Maritime Museum of B.C. relocate to their municipality, if it can’t find a home in Victoria. Early this month, the province announced negotiations between the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority and the Maritime Museum of B.C. were at an impasse and have asked the museum to vacate their facility in Bastion Square by Sept. 30. The decision has sent board members scrambling to come up with a solution to house the more than 35,000-artifact collection. But there may be other options if they can’t find a permanent facility in Victoria. Campbell River Mayor Andy Adams said they’re “very interested” in the idea of moving the maritime museum up Island.

“Of course Campbell River would be interested,” said Adams, who grew up in Victoria and has been to the museum several times. “It would be a natural fit with our existing Maritime Heritage Centre where we have a significant number of maritime artifacts and most notably, the BPC 45, which is the same boat that is on the Canadian $5 bill. We certainly see a natural fit.” Adams added he hopes to bring the idea to council, but was quick to point out there are a lot of missing pieces of the puzzle that still need to be addressed. “We would need to know what all is involved, what the square footage is that is required, what’s the plan for operational management and budgets,” he said.

Police find human remains on Saanich farm

Wednesday, June 17, 2015- VICTORIA

Kendra Wong Victoria News

The search for a missing Victoria man has been called off after human remains were found at a Saanich farm last week. The B.C. Coroners’ Service confirmed that remains found at the farm in the 100-

block of Goward Road in the Prospect Lake neighbourhood on Thursday night are human. On Monday, VicPD announced they’ve called off the extensive search of the property. The next step is to establish an identity, which is a top priority for investigators.

On June 2, the VicPD, Saanich PD and the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit launched a massive search for Victoria’s Dana McKellar, a 51-year-old father who was originally reported missing back in September. Through an investigation, it was later revealed that

also found containers of a non-toxic substance, nonhuman remains and “suspicious” excavation equipment. The VicPD have advised McKellar’s family of the latest developments and they are waiting to hear if the remains discovered are those of Dana McKellar.

McKellar had been previous assaulted. As the investigation progressed, officers learned that there may be potential evidence on the Goward Road property. The search of the property included 90 officers scouring seven acres of the 12-acre property. Last week, investigators

Right to pot cookies upheld by high court Legal medical marijuana access extends to derivatives Jeff Nagel Black Press

Medical marijuana patients have a right to possess and use cannabis in the form of cookies and products other than dried bud, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Thursday. The unanimous decision is a major victory for cannabis crusaders who argued they should not be forced only to smoke or vaporize the drug when edible or topical products are safer and provide benefits such as delayed delivery. “Inhaling marijuana can present health risks and is less effective for some conditions than administration of cannabis derivatives,” the country’s high court ruled. It found the federal drug law exemption allowing medical pot patients access only to dried marijuana violated their constitutional right to life, liberty and security of the person. Approved patients who illegally baked cookies, brewed pot tea or turned it into oil had faced the threat of criminal prosecution, but not any longer. “This denial is not trivial,” the court ruled. “It subjects the person to the risk of cancer and bronchial infections associated with smoking dry marijuana, and precludes the possibility of choosing a more effective treatment.” The ruling upholds the decision by B.C. courts that dismissed drug trafficking charges against Owen Smith, a Victoria man caught baking pot cookies for a local compassion club. “It’s a great decision from the point of view of all medically approved patients,” said Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy, one of the lawyers who defended Smith before the Supreme Court. He said the government’s dried-only restriction was unreasonable. “It forced people to choose between a legal but inadequate treatment and an illegal but more effective one.” Conroy is optimistic the Supreme Court’s ruling will also guide another pending case in which medical marijuana patients have argued before a Federal Court judge that they should be allowed to continue growing their own pot at home, instead of buying only from new commercial producers authorized by Ottawa.

Don Denton/Victoria News

Victoria pot advocate Owen Smith has won a Canadian Supreme Court ruling arguing that medical marijuana patients have a right to possess and use cannabis in the form of cookies and products other than dried bud. In that case as well, Conroy and co-counsel Kirk Tousaw argued similar constitutional rights are in play – that medical marijuana users are deprived reasonable access if they can’t afford to buy from commercial producers and that they then risk jail if they grow it themselves or buy on the black market. That trial took place this spring and the judge has reserved decision. Conroy predicts Thursday’s ruling will also allow commercial producers to start offering cannabis edibles and topicals, rather than just dried pot. The Supreme Court did not give the federal government time to pass new regulations and instead issued an immediate order that the old restriction was no longer in force.

It’s not yet clear how Ottawa will respond, but it could regulate pot derivatives through a different mechanism. Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose told reporters marijuana is not an approved medicine and criticized the ruling for contributing to the normalization of marijuana use. “I’m outraged by the message that judges are sending that they think that they can approve a drug into a medicine without clear medical scientific evidence and without safety reviews,” Ambrose said. She cited 36 cases of people being hospitalized after becoming ill from ingesting marijuana edibles at Vancouver’s recent 4/20 pot celebration. editor@vicnewsnews.com

Cyclists recruited to prepare for disaster In a community known as the one of the country’s most cycling-friendly cities, in the event of a natural disaster, cyclists may be used to help move people, information and materials from one location to another. On July 4, the City of Victoria and the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition are partnering for the third year to present the 2015 Tour Disaster, which will teach cyclists how they can help during a community-wide emergency. The event will double as a cycling rally and emergency exercise, where cyclists will make their way through a series of tasks including moving supplies and information, searching for lost individuals and conducting damage assessments through local neighbourhoods. Each participant must be able to safety carry envelopes with instructions, cargo in the form of 12 litres of water and two eggs and is asked to bring their own map. While it is not a race, participants will be awarded points for completing the tasks and a winner will be declared at the end. The Tour Disaster will start and end at the Topaz Park parking lot located off Glasglow Street and will be completed by early afternoon. Participants must be 19 years or older. The deadline for pre-registration is June 29 at 4 p.m. For more information, visit preparevictoria.ca.

Left lane ‘hog rule’ kicks in Highway drivers who hog the left lane and hold up faster traffic without a good reason now face potential $167 fines, with three penalty points. The clarified regulation took effect June 12 and requires drivers to stay right on routes where the speed is more than 80 km/h when other traffic is approaching from behind. The exceptions in which the left lane is okay is when you’re overtaking and passing another vehicle, leaving the right lane open to allow traffic to merge, preparing for a left hand turn, or moving left to pass an official vehicle with a flashing light. The rules do not apply to HOV lanes. Another change will allow municipalities to permit motorcycle parking within six metres of intersections with stop signs or signals, so long as sight lines aren’t blocked.

Thrifty Foods GM says farewell Jim Dores, who has led Thrifty Foods since 2010, to retire Daniel Palmer Black Press

Changes are in the works at the helm of Thrifty Foods. After 42 years in the grocery industry, 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. “I wanted to join the police force, and in those days you had to be 165 pounds to get into cadets. So I joined a company called Oshawa Group which had Food City, and they immediately put me on night shifts. You never put on any weight there,” Dores said, laughing. Sobeys purchased Thrifty Foods in 2007 from Alex Campbell for $260

Thrifty GM Jim Dores hopes to drive through the Rockies and explore more of B.C. upon retirement. 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 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.”

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 19 Thrifty Foods locations on Vancouver Island, one on Saltspring and six on the Lower Mainland. editor@vicnews.com

Westside committee to announce wastewater treatment sites Westside and eastside committees to hold joint workshop Kendra Wong Victoria News

The Westside Sewage Committee is finally ready to reveal a list of technically feasible sites for wastewater treatment facilities. On Thursday morning, the committee is expected to announce the names of contenders, said Barb Desjardins, co-chair of the committee. “We’re moving along really well. We’re making sure we’re dotting our i’s and crossing our t’s,” she said. In May, the committee, which represents Esquimalt, View Royal, Colwood and Langford, said they’ve come up with 20 sites for the facility, but did not release any names. “The next step is getting the sites out to people so they can look at them, understand them and ask questions and express their thoughts about them . . . the public must feel like they are part of this process,” said Desjardins, not-

Barb Desjardins ing there will also be ample time for online public engagement after the sites are announced. Last week, the Eastside Sewage Committee narrowed down their list of potential sites to 27 from 40 after more than 2,000 residents provided feedback during the consultation process. Eight green sites (which had a high level of support) include the University of Victoria, Clover Point, Public Works Victoria and Saanich, Rock Bay Private, sites owned by B.C. Hydro and Transport Canada and the Coast Guard. “It’s a bit of a radical approach in that we’re asking the public to actually help us select sites,” said Lisa Helps, chair of the eastside committee that represents Victoria, Saanich, and Oak Bay. “The public chose

those sites. Some of the things that we’ve heard is that they’re already in industrial areas, they’re huge opportunities in some cases for resource recovery. In the case of Clover Point, Ogden Point and the Coast Guard, they’re already close to the outfall, so should we need to do ocean discharge, that’s easier.” Through workshops, surveys, and public meetings, a number of sites have been rejected, including Beacon Hill, Willows, Anderson Hill, Holland, Topaz and Henderson parks. “A lot of the sites that were struck off were sites that have natural areas, urban forests, those kinds of places rose to the top as important for other reasons and not appropriate for sewage treatment,” said Helps, adding they hope to have a final plan for the plant by March 2016. Public consultation will continue in June with the next workshop on June 24 from 5-7 p.m. at the Delta Hotel where both the east and westside committees will present their findings to date. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Mayors say museum could complement current facilities Continued from Page A1

Port Alberni Mayor Mike Ruttan also expressed interest in the museum that he said would complement its local maritime museum. “It’s about what kind of facility they need and trying to make it fit between us and them and I’m sure somehow we can make it happen if they are seriously interested in moving,” said Ruttan. He said a number of facilitates come to mind, including the Glenwood Centre, a building roughly the size of a two gymnasiums and a few schools that are being closed down that will be vacant at the end of the summer, that could potentially house the museum on a

temporary basis. “It’s really a matter of making the museum come here and see what’s available, but we’d certainly be delighted to have them.” Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay said they would be open to having a conversation with the maritime museum about the possibility of making the short move from Victoria to Nanaimo. “Any attractions that people want to visit while they’re here in our community, as well as our own citizens that are property established and presented, they create interest in the community,” said McKay, who added it would complement the city’s current military museum. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

What do you think?

OUR VIEW

Hot dogs cook in car oven It’s that time of year again, when you make sure the air conditioning is working in your car and maybe even consider installing an automatic car starter – if you don’t already have one – to cool down the interior before you get in, because you just know, “it’s going to be an oven in there.” With the heat comes the annual warnings about leaving pets in your car. Not heeding these warnings can lead to tragic consequences, yet we continue to see parked vehicles with furry friends cooped up inside – usually a dog. Sure, most people leave their windows down a crack to allow for air circulation, but studies have shown that doing so doesn’t help much to prevent dangerously high temperatures in an enclosed space. Dogs play an important role in people’s lives. “Man’s best friend” is a commonlyaccepted moniker for a reason, after all. Many take their dog everywhere, as they would young children or other people who can’t be left unaccompanied at home. Some see their dog as a member of the family too important to leave alone at home. But for whatever reason, some people still feel it’s acceptable to put that “friend” in a dangerous situation that could leave them with heat stroke in a matter of minutes, or worse, kill them.

Readers respond: fireworks Better control needed on noise and fireworks Re: City urged to ban fireworks (News, June 10) You don’t have to live in the North Park area to be negatively impacted by Royal Athletic Park fireworks. Although I live almost on the Saanich border at Tolmie Avenue, I can hear fireworks not only ignited at Royal Athletic Park but also at the Inner Harbour. It’s challenging to imagine how much louder the noise must be to those neighbourhoods several kilometres from me. Because I know what the explosions are, I can close my windows and ignore the noise. However, my two cats dive under the nearest bed and stay there quaking for an hour after the fireworks have ended. Young children and anyone with sensitive hearing will obviously also be impacted. Last year I noticed there were far more fireworks set off than usual and it seems to be a

trend. Apart from Canada Day, I have no idea what the other celebratory events were about. While I’m on the subject of noise, I live three blocks from Topaz Park, which is a popular music venue. Depending on wind direction, the sound can be loud and sometimes it has continued until 11 p.m. Saanich has a bylaw that stops such events by 9 p.m., so why doesn’t Victoria have better restrictions? It seems to me that noisy outdoor events should have to stop by 10 p.m. at the latest so as not to disturb people’s sleep. Barbara McDonell Victoria

Laser show would be better entertainment Re: City urged to ban fireworks (News, June 10) I think a laser light show is much more fun and interesting, and the only noise will be the fun and laughter from the audience. We live behind Hillside

On a quiet day, the microphones even echo this way, depending on the direction of the wind. I’m all in favour of the HarbourCats and I love baseball, but the fireworks I don’t feel are needed. A laser show would be a much better and safer way to spend the money on entertainment. Gene Denluck Victoria

No bells, no fireworks; Victoria keeps it dull Re: City urged to ban fireworks (News, June 10) I thought somebody should speak up in favour of fireworks. It’s too easy to focus on the few folks who complain, and leave out the great majority of people who really enjoy the fireworks. Look at the crowds who come to see the Canada Day display – and the kids who are in awe at

the amazing spectacle. A lot of pleasure and a lot of fun come out of a good fireworks display. I’m a bit reminded of the issue of the bells of Christ Church Cathedral. The bells are muted because someone years ago complained about “noise pollution” – the bells. I think of the wonderful sound in Florence, Venice or Paris of the bells ringing across the city. And then there’s Victoria – not much joy here – keep them muted. No bells. No fireworks. No joy. Keep it dull. I’m sure the city realizes we’ve a lot to celebrate in Victoria – let the people show it! Dave Shelton Victoria

Environmental and noise problem Re: City urged to ban fireworks (News, June 10) I live close by and what I found was a thin layer of dust covering cars, etc. It’s not just noise pollution, but environmental too. Susan Perepelken Victoria

Navy bids farewell to HMCS Algonquin Kevin Laird Victoria News

HMCS Algonquin was officially retired by the Royal Canadian Navy at CFB Esquimalt on Thursday. The Iroquois-class destroyer was “paid off” in the navy tradition, concluding 41 years of service. When a ship reaches the end of its commission, it is paid off, a term that dates from the days when sailors were literally paid the wages owing them as they went ashore. In the RCN, the tradition continues with the term “paying off” referring to the formal ceremony where the naval jack, ensign and commissioning pennant are hauled down, the crew departs the ship for the last time, and the ship is then no longer referred to as HMCS. “I congratulate HMCS Algonquin on its long and distinguished service in protecting Canadian interests at home and around the world,” said Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, commander of the Royal Canadian Navy. “Today is a historic day as HMCS Algonquin takes her final salute

amongst the many sailors who serve, and have served, in the Royal Canadian Navy.” Constructed by Davie Shipbuilding in Lauzon, Que., HMCS Algonquin was commissioned on Nov. 3, 1973. She sailed for the first half of her life with the Atlantic Fleet before transferring to the Pacific Fleet in 1994, where she completed her service. HMCS Algonquin’s career included deployments to the Standing Naval Forces Atlantic Task Group, the Gulf of Oman for Operation APOLLO, and the Eastern Pacific to participate in Operation CARIBBE. HMCS Algonquin also sailed as the command ship for then governorgeneral Michaëlle Jean for the International Fleet Review, marking the Canadian Naval Centennial in 2010. Meanwhile, HMCS Winnipeg departed for the Mediterranean Sea on Monday, as part of Operation Reassurance, the federal government’s mission to promote security and stability in Central and Eastern Europe. The ship is commanded by Cmdr. Pascal Belhumeur. klaird@blackpress.ca

Buccaneer Days make a splash Story and photos by Kevin Laird

Two-year-old Brooklyn Dickson does her best impression of a pirate during the Buccaneer Days parade.

There was no happier pirate around Sunday night than Bob McKie. A near record of more than 2,000 people turned out for the annual Esquimalt Buccaneer Days. “It was an excellent weekend,” said the exuberant McKie, chairman of the Buccaneer Days Committee, which hosted the annual event. “I heard nothing but praise for our new events and people seem to like them.” A new entertainment stage at Bullen Park featured 12 local acts both Saturday and

Sunday. Among the highlights were performances by Highland dancers and local music acts. The Victoria Police Department canine unit also performed for the first time at the event, but perhaps the biggest draw was the Dog Agility Demonstration team. “People just though that was fantastic,” McKie said. “Everything worked out better than I thought they would. I need to thank my executive because they were the ones that helped put it together and made sure it ran right.”

Buccaneer Days kicked off on Friday with a barbecue for seniors. On Saturday many Esquimalt residents got an early wake up call with the annual Wakey, Wakey, Lions pancake breakfast, parade, rugby tournament, mucical entertainment and dance. Sunday events included the two dog demonstrations, sky-diving competition and lacrosse tournament. A midway, community market place and food concessions were available both days. klaird@blackpress.ca

The big stretch is from 8 to 10 a.m. In his maiden speech at the UN General Assembly last year, Indian Prime Minister Narender Modi proposed a global yoga day. The UN later approved the motion to commemorate the ancient practice every year on June 21. “We want to share the knowledge and the gift of yoga,” said Nirmala Raniga, organizer of the Victoria event. The event is sponsored by the International Day of Yoga, Vancouver Committee and supported by the Consulate General of India. “The West Coast is home to some of Canada’s largest and

Habitat for Humanity hits funding goal Habitat for Humanity Victoria has reached its goal of more than $100,000 to help build a home for a single mom. The $100K in 100 Days campaign encouraged 100 women to donate $1,000 to help build a Saanich home for Amanda, a single mom with two

young boys. Amanda has had to uproot her family multiple times in the last decade because of unfit living conditions and increasingly unaffordable rents. After roughly four months, the campaign has raised $109,000.

The award-winning Victoria writer and journalist will teach a course on memoir writing this weekend (June 20-21) at Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts at Lester B. Pearson College. Tafler wrote his own memoir in 2006 called Us and Them, A Memoir of Tribes and Tribulations on growing up in Montreal. He’ll use his years of writing in all forms when he presents The Memoir: The Story Only You Can Tell. “I think all of us should try to write our memoirs,” he said. “There is a certain sense of accomplishment and achievement

that you’ve done it.” It took Tafler more than four years to write his own memoir. He doesn’t tend to write fast and had multiple drafts. Others, he said, can do it in less time. So, why should someone write their own memoirs? “It really depends on the individual and the story they want to tell. Some people want something to become a record for their fam-

ily. Other people want to tell their story to the world,” Tafler said. Retired American teacher Frank McCourt wrote his memoirs Angela’s Ashes, a tragicomic memoir of the misery and squalor of his childhood in New York City. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography in 1997. Tafler said most people will never have the success of McCourt, but his students come away with an understanding of their lives that they never would have had otherwise. “Sometimes people find it difficult to talk about their life – you have to tell a lot about yourself and have to tell things you may not be proud of … nobody wants a main character who has no faults,” Tafler said.

Burial park marks summer So(u)lstice Royal Oak Burial Park is welcoming summer with the sixth annual Summer So(u) lstice, an afternoon to stroll the burial park with friends and neighbours in a gentle, social setting featuring music and poets and, naturally, to remember departed friends and family. “This event highlights the beauty of the burial park as a community landscape and creates a setting to remember family and friends who have passed,” says Royal Oak Burial Park executive director Stephen Olson. “It’s a welcoming atmosphere and can be a very comforting and uplifting way to take a moment to reflect on life, and on loss.”

Music throughout the park will include Erin Onyschtschuk’s woodwind improvisations in the Woodlands along with harpist Gwyneth Evans. Victoria’s renowned choral group Ensemble Laude will also sing in the Mausoleum at 2:15 p.m. and Vancouver’s Homegoing Brass Band will perform processional music at 1:30 p.m. and again at 3 p.m. to end the day. Visitors can create unique floral tributes, messages and parchment memory flags. As well, local poets will turn visitor’s memories into poems. “I was inspired to create Summer So(u) lstice as a way for the public to remember their dead in a beautiful and friendly social

setting, where we can support each other and acknowledge death as a natural part of life,” says local artist Paula Jardine, who initiated the event six years ago. Visitors are welcome to tour throughout the Burial Park and see feature locations like the Woodlands green burial area, the mausoleum and the Little Spirits Garden, a special community memorial dedicated to infant loss. Staff will be on hand to help visitors locate sites of ancestors. Summer So(u)lstice is June 20, from 1 to 4 p.m. Royal Oak Burial Park is located at 4673 Falaise Dr. in Saanich.

Dads celebrated at Beacon Hill Park The City of Victoria is offering Celtic music, dance and storytelling as part of its annual Father’s Day Ceilidh in the Park celebration. The 13th annual Cedilidh or “kitchen party” is hosted by Jack Knox and includes live performances by Crikey Mor, Coastline, Syren, Trish and Geoff Horrocks, the Nanaimo Youth Fiddle Ensemble and the award-winning O’Conner-O’Brien School of Irish Dance. The event kicks off on June 21 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Stage in the Park in Beacon Hill Park. Admission is free.

“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.

Fur seal conflict

Victoria played major role in international Bering Sea fur seal controversy in 19th century

Kate Humble History

In the latter decades of the 19th century, Victoria’s harbour was home to a variety of industries. It would have been a pungent place, filled with the olfactory presence of livestock and fish canning, the opium factories of Chinatown, the fumes and runoff of various factories and, perhaps most malodorous, the scent carried by predatory ships that stalked the rich waters of B.C. and relentlessly harvested sea-going mammals. I have already written on the whaling trade of B.C., but perhaps even less glamorous was the sealing industry. Our waters teem with marine wildlife including several species of seals and sea lions. Indeed, this is what motivated the Hudson’s Bay Company to establish Fort Victoria in 1843. At that time there was an enormous market for the pelts of sea otters in Europe and China. It didn’t take long to decimate the population, which was essentially extinct in B.C. by 1929. Following the government release of 89 otters in the early 1970s they have made a remarkable recovery,

The northern fur seal fetched a steep price in Europe during the 19th century, and was the centre of an international controversy that lasted several years. though still have not reclaimed the full range of their former territory and are still a species of “special concern.” To fill the void left by the diminishing sea otter population, early Victorians turned to another marine mammal: the fur seal. Much larger than the harbour seals we see at Fisherman’s Wharf, northern fur seals also have very thick pelts which fetched a steep price in Europe. By the 1860s, several fast-moving schooners based out of Victoria were trolling the migratory waters off Vancouver Island through which the seals passed on their annual path up to Alaska. By 1882 there were 13 of these schooners bringing in thousands of pelts each year. In the mid 1880s a kind of seal bonanza took place. The fur seals passing Vancouver Island were heading to their breeding grounds in the Pribilof Islands, off the southwest coast of Alaska. There, they would haul out on land and could be easily and brutally clubbed

to death. Millions of seals gathered each year, and huge rush of sealers made their way to the north. The U.S. government did not react favourably to the hundreds of foreign hunters from Canada, Russia and Japan who arrived on their shores and made off with their valuable commodity. American warships were dispatched to patrol the area, and so foreign ships relied on pelagic (open sea) hunting instead. The Alaska Commercial Company, which had an American monopoly on the seal trade, protested that the foreign hunters were dramatically reducing the seal population, and the result was that several Canadian vessels (including one captained by J.D. Warren, who was once the captain of the famous S.S. Beaver) were seized, and their crews thrown in jail. Canadian hunters even faced gunfire from American warships. This international conflict was escalating fast. The Americans claimed to control all of the Bering Sea, not just the traditional

three nautical miles of territorial waters (today it is 12 miles). They justified this claim with the fact that Russia had controlled the entire Bering Sea, and that when the U.S. purchased Alaska from them in 1867 that control had passed to them. Britain challenged this view and an international court found against the U.S. and awarded damages to the owners of seized vessels. In the meantime, the population of fur seals was plummeting. In 1897 nearly 100,000 pelts passed through Victoria, where almost 100 sealing schooners were at anchor. Local sealers gained notoriety for their daring deeds- including the famous “Flying Dutchman” Gustav Hansen. At sea, sealers were supposed to use harpoons to kill their prey, and haul it onto the boats where they were stripped of their skin and fur. In reality, however, many used guns instead. Two out of every three seals killed this way would sink before they could be retrieved and brought on deck. The wastage was vast and horrifying, but it seemed like the supply of seals was endless. By the turn of the century, only about 200,000 fur seals remained out of an estimated original population of two million. With the species facing decline, in

1911 the historic North Pacific Fur Seal Convention was held and the pelagic hunt was outlawed in exchange for a small percentage
