New role for Deputy Chief Central Saanich Police Service swears in its new Chief Constable August 29 Carlie Connolly News staff
Les Sylven, Deputy Chief Constable for the Central Saanich Police Service will be saying hello to his new role as Chief this month. Sylven will replace outgoing Chief Paul Hames, who is retiring. Growing up in Calgary and attending university there, Sylven joined the RCMP, which sent him off to training in Squamish, B.C for a northern posting for five years. He later worked in Vancouver in an organized crime unit before moving over to the Victoria Police Department in 1996. In 2011, an opportunity arose with Central Saanich Police and he jumped at it and has never looked back. With the departure of Hames, who was with the department for almost 16 years and led them through lots of changes, Sylven said he sees just as many changes coming their way. Those being anything from technology to inside the department, with a whole generation of police officers about to retire and having to hire some new officers. Sylven said with the completion of some new projects like reaching out via social media, it’s all about building trust with the community and hearing what they have to say. “One of the most important parts of an effective police department is its ability to engage with the public, so a police department needs strong community support to be strong,” said Sylven. Part of Sylven’s new role will be to report to the police board along with the mayor, who then provide the governance of policies. The role of the police chief is to look at three to five years down the road. Please see: Sylven has big shoes to fill, page 12

Largest Little Airshow this weekend VRCMS welcomes fliers from all over the region to Steven Heywood News staff
Ever see a flying lawn mower? How about a beagle on a doghouse, dressed as a First World War flying ace? Those are only a couple of the flying machines that will be in the sky in Central Saanich this weekend for the Largest Little Airshow, hosted by the Victoria R/C Modelers Society (VRCMS). Organizer Mike Scholefield says there will be a full slate of local scale modelers with their aircraft, as well as some return visitors from the U.S. and the lower mainland. “Dave Sullivan from Sacramento is
back,” Scholefield said. “It’s his ninth year coming up. He’ll bring his large aerobatic model plane.” Other special guests include Utah’s Scott Davies and his one-third scale Stearman biplane with an actual radial engine. It’s his third or fourth time at the air show, said Scholefield. Tom Wolfe from California is back, toting his replica Mosquito fighter/bomber and its 110-inch wingspan. In from Vancouver this year will be Kevin Forsythe and Paul Dries, who will be formation flying with their turbine-
Mitchell Airpark powered, remote control jets, both of which topping 90 miles per hour. This is the 14th year for the air show and Scholefield said it has raised more than $213,000 in that time for CFAX Santa’s Anonymous and the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation. Admission to the site is by donation, he continued, and in the past people have been very generous. “We have kept it a by-donation event for all of the 14 years. I didn’t want a family who couldn’t afford it, to miss out.” Please see: No other show like Largest Little, page 8

Tour de Rock rider Alison Wood looks to her family for inspiration to ride Carlie Connolly News staff
Staff Sergeant Major Alison Wood is one of the 21 riders who will make her debut on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team, which will begin their Island-long journey next month to raise money to help in the fight against childhood cancer. Every rider on the team has their personal reason as to why they choose to ride and riders can only do the ride once. “It’s about finding the right timing,” said Wood, a member of the RCMP’s Island District, based in Victoria. Wood came to the Island 10 years ago and learned of the Tour and said it has been something she has always wanted to take part in. She waited until her family situation was secure and with her kids being a bit older now, she said she has the time she needs to prepare and get ready for the ride. For Wood, the ride is a meaningful one. She said she not only rides for kids with cancer, but also rides for her mother who died in 2013 following a two-month battle with cancer. The team is assigned junior

“They’re our support and we’re their support so that’s a pretty cool thing,” said Wood. The Tour de Rock has been
going on since 1998 and has raised more than $20 million. The ride raises money for the research of pediatric cancer that can help those children and their families. It also helps to send the kids to Camp Goodtimes, which allows for them to just be kids and enjoy their time. Wood and her fellow riders attended the camp and were the first team that got to spend dinner with them. “It’s so rewarding, we get to be kids in some ways too, because it’s all about the kids.” Every rider is to raise $5,000 before the ride begins and she has, so far, raised $8,000. Riders train three times a week with a hill ride, speed ride and a long distance ride. Recently Wood completed a long ride up Mount Washington, a ride she never thought she could do, but persisted forward and finished. With 29 years of service, she thought that the timing and this ride was now or never. This year’s Cops For Cancer Tour de Rock begins Sept. 20 in Port Alice and finishes Oct. 2 in Victoria.

Tear down this barrier
I
s Sidney a hidden gem on this part of Vancouver Island? And, if so, how much of being ‘hidden’ can a community take, especially since it seems to be suffering from a bit of an identity crisis. Is it a sleepy hub of boutique stores — or the main trading area for approximately 44,000 people on the Saanich Peninsula? Or is it going to always want to be a small town? For years, there has been a push on to draw more people, specifically more shoppers, into the downtown core. That core stretches from the Pat Bay Highway all the way to the waterfront along Beacon Avenue, widening out to cover businesses on Bevan Avenue and James White Boulevard/Sidney Avenue. Our question Why does the is: why does this downtown core downtown core to stop at the have to stop at ... have artificial boundary of the highway? the highway? It seems this is a huge mental boundary for a lot of people who seem to think that Sidney ends at that highway. History shows that the community was split in two when the highway was put in and that condition seems to exist to this very day. In many respects, those residents and businesses that ended up in West Sidney, as it’s known, feel they are the poor cousins to the rest of the town. Proper sidewalks, better transit and other municipal services played big in the last municipal election and the Town is currently exploring a planning process to look into those needs. From what we’ve been able to glean at this early stage, the Victoria Airport Authority as the lead developer of the commercial plan across the highway, is looking to compliment what Sidney already has. The key, should the Sidney Gateway retail project proceed, is a focus on trying to make the highway no longer such a barrier. After all, Beacon Avenue does cross the Pat Bay Highway and continues well into West Sidney. There’s a good chance, if we can drop this barrier mind set, that Sidney’s downtown can grow and help maintain what we already have. What do you think?

Don’t let Sidney become a ghost town About two years ago, the then town council rushed through a new zoning bylaw. The town has taken a “helter skelter” approach to planning with little concern for the Official Community Plan which was reviewed, revised and came into effect in 2007-08 after intensive public consultations that took place over a year. The bylaw calls for an updating every five years which means that it should have been reviewed again in 2013. We witness approvals of construction projects that simply fly in the face of the OCP and council simply employs a spot zoning process which has brought us projects such as the First Street controversy and construction to the property line at 5th and Bevan all of which do not conform to the OCP passed in 2007-08. The OCP also requires a review of the West Sidney area plan to determine the best and most appropriate use of lands, including the Mary Winspear Centre lands. Now we see the VAA pushing the so-called Sidney Gateway project. Such development as envisioned could be the death blow to downtown Sidney and its many unique businesses. As a former councillor and member of the planning commission in a large capital city on the prairies, I witnessed the construction of a large mall on the outer edge of the city which ended up almost immediately, taking the

heart out of the downtown and its businesses in the high taxation area. It has happened in municipality after municipality in North America. Where are business groups who now get substantial funding from the taxpayers stand? It’s time to take a stand before we witness the ambiance of our Seaside Town become another “gold rush” ghost town. Hewitt Helmsing Sidney
Heads in a cloud
For those planners who believe the proposed shopping plaza to be built on federal airport land across the Pat Bay Highway it will enhance our local business community, have their heads in a cloud. To infringe upon the fragility of our current businesses in this small seaside town we would not only see more leasehold signs on shop windows, but it would further decimate those businesses who are struggling to survive. Traffic itself would be a major issue with this proposition. Clive Tanner, a long proponent to our book world, will survive. Sadly, other business merchants will not. Caroline Whitehead Sidney
Go to referendum Good for you Clive Tanner for your comments about the foolish Sidney Gateway project. Our Sidney council seems not to know who elected them. From my perspective they seem to support builders and developers to the detriment of Sidney citizens. In respect for those who elected them, our council must provide referendums for major projects. There is too much being decided without proper input from the taxpayers. D. R. MIlls Sidney

LETTERS What’s the outcome? It’s far from “naysaying” to object to poorly conceived projects that endanger the local businesses of Sidney. If these enterprises fail, seniors presently having to drive the Pat Bay Highway all the way into Victoria, may wake up to find themselves with higher residential taxes to replace lost revenues resulting from these new developments. Property values will likely decline as well. My fellow seniors would do well to see that planning a beautiful and livable Sidney extends very much beyond their own interests for the simple reason that they won’t be here for the outcome. Jon Blair Sidney
Keep Sidney small I agree with Nancy Turkington (PNR letters July 31) and her reasons for picking Sidney as a place to live. That’s why I live in Sidney too. We do not need the Victoria Airport Authority and their proposed new development across the highway, let them stick to their airport businesses. If we all go shopping across the highway, what will happen to our existing busi-
nesses in town? The new council is supposed to improve our town, not try and destroy it. I also like Ann Grossnickle’s idea: ”an actual gateway, a pedestrian and bicycle overpass connecting Beacon Avenue across the highway.” This would improve our town and give access to that nice bicycle and hiking path across the highway. The commercial development would make that overpass impossible to build. Let us keep Sidney by the sea as a nice peaceful small town. Bertha McCrea Sidney
Tennis players left out Central Saanich council has spoken. A vote was taken and passed but tax paying tennis players who have played in the municipality for over 20 years were denied the opportunity to present their case. In an appalling example of the lack of democracy and due process, we sat through two hours of municipal business awaiting an opportunity to present our concerns regarding the painting of pickleball lines on the beautiful new tennis courts at Centennial Park.
Like us on
The moment arrived, heralded by Councillor (Christopher) Graham as “now for the fun stuff.” Immediately Coun. (Carl) Jenson proposed a motion in favour of the pickleball application saying he saw no need for further discussion or for a separate facility for their sport. That was seconded by Coun. (Niall) Paltiel with the comment, “it had been such fun talking with the pickleball lobby.” A vote was taken, passed, and the meeting declared over. When tennis players asked to speak, we were told by the Mayor that the meeting was adjourned. We know that municipal staff had presented four alternate proposals to council, but these were never made known to us. Valerie Park Brentwood Bay
Try the trolley idea “The Langford Trolley service continues to provide excellent alternative transportation for local commuters, visitors, special events and local businesses within our community. The service is accessible to everyone. Ridership is by donation.”
This is an excerpt from the Langford Trolley website. If any of you know me, a trolley for Sidney has been my ongoing cause since I moved to Sidney in 2007. I have written many letters to town council and the PNR suggesting a trolley would be a boon. With plans for a new shopping centre across the highway in the works, the need for a trolley is urgent. If the merchants of Sidney hope to attract shoppers, they would be far more likely to do so if they can take a trolley rather than bring their cars across the highway. Likewise shoppers from Sidney would certainly be more encouraged to shop there. As we all know the majority of Sidney residents are seniors. So having a trolley similar to the service in Langford which takes shoppers and all others to various destinations seems natural. I do hope the people in charge of the project will give this serious consideration. If you agree with me please make your feelings known. I feel like a voice in the wilderness.

tatistics Canada (Statscan) reported that in 2011 a total of 5,825 Canadians had reached the lofty age of 100. Statscan projects this number to reach 17,000 by 2031; 80,000 by 2061. While this dramatic increase in our most elderly group of seniors is one which few of us can hope to join, the rising age demographic of retirees does affect us all — and we should ensure our financial plans reflect our lengthening life spans. Even today, we see increas ing numbers of retirees — particularly those who took early-retirement — spending as many years in retirement, as they did in the workforce. This places great stress on both private sector and public pension plans. As important, however, is the impact our extended retirements have, or will have, on our perPeter Dolezal sonal financial resources — Financial Savvy our RRIFs, our TFSAs and our Non-Registered investments. Future retirees must plan much more carefully, because, as a group, they are certain to enjoy a much longer lifespan — with fewer assured benefits from employer-sponsored pension plans.

1. Until retirement, always save and invest five to 10 per cent of gross salary for long-term growth. 2. Apply the incredible magic of compounding the benefit increases exponentially, the earlier the investment commences. 3. Always focus on debt-minimization and its earliest-possible liquidation. 4. Diversify investments — by asset class, sector, and geography. 5. Don’t fear equity markets; with smart up-front decisions, they are terrific, long-term wealth-builders. Generally, the younger the investor, the greater should be the equity component of a portfolio. 6. Minimize annual investing costs; be mindful that every reduction in holding cost is equivalent to the addition of the same amount to annual returns. 7. Gravitate toward dividend-paying equities to enhance long–term returns. The benefit is clear. Over the past 60 years, roughly 40 per cent of total returns of North American equity markets has come from dividends. 8. Do not try to time the market. Jumping in and out of investments is a recipe for much lower longterm portfolio performance. What happens this week, and even this year, really does not matter. What does matter is how one’s portfolios perform over long-term periods, such as five or 10 years. Adopting these simple guidelines, today’s new workforce entrant can be assured of an eventual comfortable and financially stress-free retirement even should that retirement be decades-long, with the retiree perhaps joining the ranks of Canada’s ever-increasing number of centenarians. A retired corporate executive, enjoying post-retirement as an independent Financial Consultant (dolezalconsultants.ca), Peter Dolezal is the author of three books, including his most recent, The SMART CANADIAN WEALTH-BUILDER.

Continued from page 1
Scholefield added he expects this weekend’s air show to be on par with previous years, and raise around $12,000 each day. “Give generously, because it all goes to good causes.” Scholefield said he plans to have his own remote control jet — a model T45 Goshawk — in the air. It’s an event, he continued, that draws a lot of people out to watch the unique models and the skill of their operators, who are stuck on the ground. It’s a blend of aerobatics, formation flying, demonstrations and fun novetly aircraft. This year, Scholefield said, he expects Superman to fly in — a real treat for the children.

been in coupes much bigger than the 500 and didn’t have the same luxury. Then there’s the engine. Its humble 135 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque being produced from its 1.4L, MultiAir Turbo four-cylinder might look mediocre on paper, but it brings this car to life. And of the three available engines offered, the base, naturally aspirated 1.4L MultiAir, the Turbo, or the Turbo from the Abarth version (160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque), the 500 Turbo (middle child of engines) is my top pick. It is spirited, peppy and makes driving fun. It’s enough horsepower to play with, but not enough to get into too much trouble. Adding to the fun factor is the introduction of an all-new Aisin heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission. A manual lover to the core, I quite liked the new addition to the fold. It also took the edge off in urban commuting. And for the times when you want a little more gusto, there’s a “Sport” mode. You’ll find this magical button on the instrument panel. What it does is change the throttle mapping for improved engine responsiveness. While I love the car as a
whole, I still have a couple of quibbles with it. The instrument panel (with the push buttons and all) looks archaic and is a headache to work with. Furthermore, the optional navigation also sits atop the dash, which eats up prime real estate with it comes to forward visibility. And it looks misplaced. But for the reasons I wrestle with the Fiat 500 Turbo, there are plenty more favourable features that put me at ease. The optional Beats stereo system sounds great in the cabin, the leather-wrapped sport steering wheel and shift knob feel nice between my fingers and the optional red leather seats make the interior pop. Then there’s the drivability. I love its competency in corners. It handles much like a decked out go-kart but doesn’t give you same kinds of aches and pains. I guess it’s no surprise why fellow Fiat 500 drivers wave at others. They’re excited about their car and want to share the love. The Fiat 500 Turbo Hatchback has a starting MSRP of $21,395. But with all the options, the price as tested comes out to $30,370. Visit www.fiatcanada.com for more information.
Safety Tip: Cyclist injuries from vehicle crashes peak in July and August. Actively watch for cyclists on the road, especially at intersections when you’re turning. Before you or a passenger opens a vehicle door, shoulder check for cyclists coming from behind.

In Sylven’s current role as Deputy Chief, he looks more at the day to day operations of the department and over a one or two year period. Derren Lench is the new Deputy Chief and is set to step in from the Lower Mainland with a wide background of experience. “The most exciting thing is he went to high school in Sidney and grew up on the Pen-
insula and started his policing career as an auxiliary with the Sidney North Saanich RCMP, so he knows the community,” said Sylven. The Change of Command Ceremony will be taking place on Aug. 29 at 1 p.m. at the Central Saanich Police Service with an open house to follow. Sylven said Hames has led the organization through many changes in policing, including the introduction of the CREST
radio system that allows the officers to talk together, the prime computer system and many other components that has helped out the department in a big capacity. “A lot of changes have happened since the late ‘90s when Chief Hames stepped in here ... and he has an incredible connection to the community through his work that he does outside of policing so there going to be a big set of shoes to fill.”

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, August 7, 2015
Carlie Connolly/News staff
Jennifer Witvliet-White works on the construction of her large fish lantern to be flown in the sky on Aug. 29 at the Beacon Pier in Sidney.
Lighting their lanterns Arts Council invites families to make their own lanterns Carlie Connolly
8 and 9 and 15 and 16 from 9 to 11 a.m. The cost is $5. Family lantern making workshops run Aug. 22 and 23, also from 9 to 11 a.m. and are by donation. All of the workshops are held at the Arts Centre in Tulista Park. The event is open to the public and lanterns are to be used with LED lights. Organizers ask that LED lights are only used as actual candles or other open flame is a huge fire hazard right now. White said she came up with this idea, after working with lanterns and lantern festivals for the last 10 years.
News staff
On Aug. 29 at 7:30 p.m., the sky will be lit up with a giant fish lantern and its ‘children’ at the Beacon Pier in Sidney, directed by Jennifer Witvliet-White, who brought forth the idea of the Lantern Procession. In a celebration of the Salish Sea, the giant fish lantern will be followed by its ‘children,’ which will be created by kids and families at a series of workshops at the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula. Lantern making workshops run Aug. WHAT’S HAPPENING IN
AUGUST
She said she thought it would be great to bring here to Sidney. The lantern White is working on will be around six to eight feet long, made of bamboo and tissue. Children, she continued, will be building simple round balloon-type lanterns for two weekends before, which will represent the eggs of the fish. White and CACSP Executive Director Frankie Allen, received funding from the Capital Regional District for the project and are happy to have children and their families getting involved in the lantern-making process
to show to the community. More details can be found at cacsp.com.

I don’t want to but I think I need a tooth pulled. What are my options? Nowadays we seem to have lots of options for everything in our lives and the same is true for your tooth. Just a quick walk through Sidney gives you plenty of choices to grab “a bite”. Some of my favourites these days are “No. 15” at Sabhai Thai, Peruvian Empanadas at Jumping Bean Express, and the Dill Roast Beef Sandwich at Stonestreet Cafe. In fact, we’ve never had more options at our disposal for saving or replacing missing teeth. This is good news because when you lose a tooth there are several consequences—the bigs ones being loss of digestive chewing power, jaw bone loss, and problems with the neighbouring teeth. What problems you say? Eventual cavities on the now exposed roots of the neighbour teeth, moving and shifting of the teeth into empty tooth space, and bone/gum loss around these teeth. The shifting alters your bite, makes the teeth harder to clean and a domino effect ensues. Many people who lose one tooth tend to lose additional teeth. Sensitivity and your appearance changing are common. Sometimes we might be tempted to think, “But I’ve got lots of teeth!” But would you forego a finger or toe permanently?
In terms of saving your existing teeth we now have materials and techniques that allow us to keep more teeth than we previously thought possible. You may be pleasantly surprised when you come in that we can save some of the blackest and snaggliest looking of teeth and turn them into pearly whites again. But if your tooth can’t be saved what then? Fortunately there are now several predictable options for tooth replacement. The best option is to replace the tooth, the same day as the tooth comes out, with a tooth implant. This method has been proven to minimize bone loss, not to mention your future appointments and overall costs—and not just your immediate implant related costs but your lifetime costs in that area of your mouth. Why is it often the best biological and financial option? Because an implant closely replicates your tooth, tends to last a lifetime, and is totally immune to cavities. My observations and research have shown that an implant placed the same day as the tooth is taken out also significantly reduces healing time and pain. Why? Because we have filled the hole left by the tooth the same day we made it. This just works too well. There are other time honoured options as well which we will discuss in the next two articles— bridges and dentures.

A couple of years or so ago, mortgage professionals – and potential homebuyers – were under the impression that interest rates couldn’t possibly go any lower. Fast forward to the present, with rates having come down further, and they’re still saying that, says Slegg Mortgage/Dominion Lending Centres broker Janette Roch. “Two years ago it was a point higher and people were still buying,” she says. “At the end of the day, we all want to pay the least amount of interest, but we all rushed to the banks when it was 2.99 per cent.” The continued attractive rates, combined with affordable prices on the West Shore, are helping many new buyers get into the housing market, Roch says. She adds that another group of potential buyers are looking in this direction. “I’m seeing a lot of investors looking to the West Shore for a secondary property or a rental property,” she says. “Again, because of affordability and the closeness to Victoria, I think there’s a real desire for those investors to look at these properties.” While there are a number of bargain-priced condominiums on the market in this area these days (as reported in last week’s Homefinder), the numbers are dwindling, Roch says, meaning those properties could well jump up in price before long, given the principles of supply and demand. A good price and a great interest rate – for those people who need

Standing amid one of the newer residential developments in Langford, mortgage broker Janette Roch of Slegg Mortgage says there is help available for first-time homebuyers. to finance – are a combination of factors that always tend to attract investors. While the tightening up of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation rules on long-term amortization and down payments put a crimp into things for first-time buyers for a while, Roch says, clients she works with are increasingly looking for homes with suites on the West Shore, as a way to create a revenue flow. For some buyers, however, even the relative affordability out here is still too dear when it comes to establishing payments they can manage. That’s why there are still people buying in Mill Bay and Duncan, she says.
“They’re willing to do the commute; more and more people are willing to do that (to get into the market),” Roch says. “You may only have five per cent down now, but that will turn into some great equity in the future. It’s just a starting point.” As people gain equity and can afford more, or a more convenient location, many move further south, she says. At the risk of sounding like she’s making a “sales pitch,” Roch says people looking at their first home ownership situation may be surprised at what they can actually afford, if not now then in a relatively short period of time. “There’s so many first-time home

buyers out there who don’t realize their (ability to buy). We can put them on the path and get them to where they need to be in a few months.” For those first-time buyers who need financing – which is most – the conversations she has with potential clients are about more than just rates and payments. The goal is to educate people about how the various factors come together. “It’s a whole package when they come to us … we can give options. It’s not just about getting preapproved for the best rate, it’s about getting pre-approved for the best situation that meets your needs,” she says. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Sharing and sailing in Victoria Co-Op VICTORIA — Winches, pushpits, pulpits, stanchions, the babystay and forestay — there is a learning curve, elbow grease and finances involved in learning the sport of sailing. Co-operative sailboat ownership has been introduced to the Oak Bay Marina by the Victoria Sailing Co-Op. This has made taking the plunge of learning to sail much easier. The premise for the Co-Op is that for a small capital investment and a reasonable annual fee, members can sail economically for at least 150 hours during the summer and more when boats are available. In the year since its inception, the Co-Op has enrolled 25 members who have access to two sailboats, a 24’ C&C and a 30’ Catalina. Use of the sailboats is through a graduated system of qualifications. The Victoria Sailing Co-Op has certified instructors available and a reservation website is designed to notify crew members of sailing availability with certified skippers. There are many different motivations for joining a Co-Op, but two of the top benefits are the sharing of costs and maintenance (20 hours per year). Members also appreciate the shared skill sets which different people bring to the Co-op. While some members are sailing gurus, others have experience in carpentry, rigging, wiring, mechanics,

Sailing co-ops on the Island provide learning and sailing opportunities to members. painting or dinghy repair. All are valuable in the salt water environment. Sidney has the Fairwinds Sailing Co-Op, with boats in Sidney. When the appeal of sailing becomes a tack to port in life, members suggest there should be much thought given to what style, size, priorities and budget the future boat should fulfill. Options fill magazines with stunning photos of an idyllic lifestyle but often fail to mention the nuts and bolts, maintenance and upkeep costs. Co-Op members suggest that spending a year or two learning the ropes (lines) with experienced sailors, sharing maintenance, learning navigation, and all at a reasonable cost is time well spent before taking the plunge for the purchase of a lifetime. Other members just want to enjoy casual sailing at an affordable price.
A Day Sailing skipper is required to have a PCOC card (Pleasure Craft Operating Card), a marine radio license and either the ISPA’s Competent Crew Certification to use the 24’ C&C, or the Day Skipper certification for the 30’ Catalina (or an equivalent certification). Getting checked out by a sailing instructor will also work for sailors who have more experience (or certificates from different sailing organizations). Safety is also a primary concern with the sailing Co-Op. Flares and fire extinguishers are checked regularly and everyone on a sailing trip wears a PFD (Personal Floatation Device) at all times. Each boat has a depth sounder, radio and paper charts. The Victoria Sailing Co-Op is one of several co-operatives in the Pacific Northwest. The Van Isle Sailing Co-Op in Nanaimo has four Catalina 27’s which can be used for local, overnight, and weekend cruises. In addition to learning to sail, the Van Isle Sailing Co-Op offers members great social activities. The Fairwinds Sailing Co-Op, with boats in Sidney, has a 27’ C&C and a 33’ Pearson. Another Sailing Co-Op in Sooke has a Crown 23’ and a Catalina 27’. More information can be found at the website: victoriasailingcoop.ca
