Saanich Police are seeking a key witness who came to the aid of a woman being sexually assaulted by a group of males on the University of Victoria campus. The assault happened between midnight and 1 a.m. on Saturday when a group of men attacked a woman near the residences next to UVic’s parking Lot. No. 1. The group managed to get the victim into the woods of Mystic Vale against her will when an unknown person came to her aid. Police are unwilling to release many of the details, such as the number of suspects and their descriptions, as they hope to engage additional witnesses. It was in the woods that the unknown individual intervened and brought an end to the sexual assault. A physical altercation then ensued between the defender and the assailants, the result of which is unknown. The victim managed to escape and did not suffer any significant injuries or require medical attention, Saanich Police Sgt. Steve Eassie said. “The victim bravely came forward with this info. She fought diligently and did everything she could to prevent the attack from happening. At no time did she give in.” Saanich Police officers were in fact on campus that Friday night, as they ran enhanced patrols with UVic

Sgt. Steve Eassie speaks to the media at the University of Victoria’s Parking Lot. No. 1 on Monday about a sexual assault by a group of men on a woman shortly after midnight Saturday. The assault ended in an altercation as someone came to the victim’s defence in the woods of Mystic Vale. Campus Security, a standard exercise this time of year. Officers attended to assaults, physical assaults and public drunkenness, and identified a number of people who may be contacted during this investigation, Eassie added. But most of all police would like to speak to the individual who came to the victim’s aid. “We’re very interested… they may have a description of the individuals involved and may have witnessed certain things that took place,” Eassie said. Parking Lot No. 1 is close to the Gordon Head and other housing residences on the campus with multiple trails leading directly into the cover of Mystic Vale.

The victim is a UVic student who detached herself from a larger group and was travelling alone to another party or gathering. It is unknown at this time if the assailants are UVic students. The assault comes barely a week after UVic’s Sexual Violence Awareness Week, held Sept. 14 to 18 on campus. It kicked off with an information fair, and the message was clear. In addition, UVic is hosting Taking Down Rape Culture with Laci Green today (Sept. 30).

Family escapes injury after truck crashes into home Dan Ebenal News Staff

It’s a fear that has haunted Andrea Deman for the last 10 years. And early last Thursday morning that fear became reality. A truck careened down the embankment off of Ravine Way and crashed in Deman’s Nigel Avenue home. “About 1:30 this morning I heard a loud bang and then the house shook and I heard a crash. I thought it was an earthquake,” said Deman, who lives in the home with her 15-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter. The prospect of a vehicle coming off the busy roadway across from Saanich Plaza and striking her home below is something that has been a concern for Deman since she moved in 10 years ago. “For the last 10 years, that’s what I’ve been worried about. But it’s never happened, accidents on the bridge and accidents at the light on the other side, but someone had never come over.” The truck crashed into the the home just outside the dining room, completely destroying a small deck as it plunged down to the driveway below. “If he had gone that much over, just even a little bit, that’s my daughter’s bedroom,” she said, pointing to the room above where the truck had struck the home. “That whole side of the house would have crumbled. So we were lucky.” Deman’s car was not so fortunate, as the truck took out a support beam which slammed into the 1991 Buick Sentry, totalling the car which is the family’s only means of transportation. Deman and her son rushed outside after the crash but the driver had already fled, leaving only questions for the family. “Was he drunk, was he stoned? What would cause somebody to do something like that?” she asked.

Police are still trying to determine the driver of the white 2015 GMC pickup that crashed over the embankment, spilling a large quantity of tools onto the ground below. The vehicle’s owner told police the truck had been stolen. Sgt. Steve Eassie with the Saanich Police said a witness observed a male fleeing the scene and provided a description to police. A police dog was able to follow a track for some distance but was unsuccessful in locating a suspect. Shannon Harrison lives in the unit across from Deman’s. She heard the crash and looked out to see a truck sitting nose down outside her bedroom window. “I thought for sure there would be somebody deceased in the vehicle, and I was shocked to find out that he had gotten out and took off,” said Harrison, who lives with her two sons, a 15-year-old and a four-yearold who slept through the whole incident. “I was thankful for that.” She said having a vehicle crash into her home is something she’s wondered about since moving in three months ago. And while the incident resulted in a sleepless night for Harrison, she said it could have been far worse. “I would hate to think what would have happened if that was during the day. Somebody would have definitely been injured or killed for sure.” And the vision of a truck perched outside her home is one that will remain with Harrison and Deman for some time to come. “For sure, it’s going to be something that’s going to stop me in my tracks every evening for a little while, just to make sure the kids are safe,” said Deman. Police do not know if the driver was injured in the crash and are asking anyone with information on the incident to contact Saanich Police at 250-475-4321. editor@saanichnews.com

Man stabbed by intruder in his Saanich home Dan Ebenal News Staff

A Saanich man was stabbed while struggling with an intruder in his St. Peters Road home. Saanich Police report a man confronted suspects who had broken into his home on the 3900 block of St. Peters Road shortly after 2 a.m. Sept. 22. “This obviously is quite concerning in the fact that it would appear to be a random event.

Shari Lukens – Conservative The Government of Canada acts quickly and appropriately to requests for assistance from countries facing disasters, conflicts, or acute food insecurity. Canada’s response is the result of close co-operation among Department of Foreign Affairs Trade and Development humanitarian officers, Canadians in the field, representatives of other governments and international and Canadian humanitarian partners, such as the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, International Committee of the Red Cross and United Nations World Food Programme. In response to the Syria crisis, Canada has agreed to resettle 11,300 Syrian refugees by the end of 2017 and 23,000 Iraqi refugees by the end of 2015. Canada has also committed to resettle 5,000 refugees who are now in Turkey by 2018. As of Sept. 1, 2015, more than 3,500 refugees from Syria and the region have been admitted to Canada.

Randall Garrison – NDP The NDP is committed to get more Syrian refugees to Canada. We can begin by getting 10,000 Syrian refugees out of harm’s way and to Canada by the end of the year. The NDP has committed to work with the government to get those 10,000 government-sponsored refugees out of harm’s way and on the way to Canada by the end of this year through appointing a Syrian refugee co-ordinator, pulling resources from various departments including Foreign Affairs, Citizenship and Immigration and other departments.

Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke candidates speak out on refugee crisis Continued from Page A4

We should also increase the presence of Canada’s diplomatic and immigration officials in the region to accelerate processing of refugees. Canada can work with Turkey and other affected countries to remove bureaucratic obstacles to resettlement and end Canada’s policy of discrimination, treating all refugees equally. An NDP government will fast-track private sponsorship, with no cap on numbers, to bring as many people as possible to Canada. We will also increase Canada’s contributions

to humanitarian assistance agencies, including the UNHCR, based on the needs on the ground and help co-ordinate the response of the international community to the Syrian refugee crisis.

David Merner – Liberals The Harper Conservatives have demonstrated astounding incompetence in their handling of the Syrian refugee crisis. We have a proud tradition in Canada as an open, generous country that has integrated refugees into our economy and society

with great success. Canada should not stand idly by as families flee for their lives – let’s cut through the Conservative government’s bureaucratic red tape around refugees, without reducing screening standards. Here’s how. A Liberal government will: Expand Canada’s intake to 25,000 refugees from Syria this year through immediate, direct sponsorship by the Government of Canada. We will also work with private sponsors to take in even more. Invest an additional $100 million this

“Anytime events such as this occur on campus it’s very alarming,” said director of UVic Campus Security Tom Downie. “Through programs [such as Sexualized Violence Week] we make students aware, Cases of rape are not rare on campus, however, what makes this case different is it’s believed the perpetrators and victim are unknown to each other. “Campus security is available 24/7, 365 days a year. We’re fortunate in some ways that we’re

an open campus but issues like this can happen anywhere in any community,” Downie said. This case is believed to be unrelated to the Sept. 20 incident in which a man followed a young woman on foot. He retreated to a van and then asked her for a ride. She reported his actions as suspicious. Anyone that may have witnessed the Sept. 26 sexual assault or has any information relating to it is asked to call the Saanich Police at 250-475-4321 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). reporter@saanichnews.com

fiscal year to increase – without reducing standards – refugee processing rates, as well as the sponsorship and settlement services capacity in Canada. Provide an immediate $100 million contribution

to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to support the critical relief activities in Syria and the surrounding area.

Frances Litman – Green Party Canada should

be among the world leaders in accepting international refugees. For example, we believe that Canada should be accepting up to 40,000 refugees from Syria over the next five years. We can do more to help. We should be

using the Canadian Armed Forces to help bring Syrian refugees to Canada by the most efficient means possible, and those with family in Canada should be allowed immediate entry to complete their processing in safety.

Boardwalk will reopen on Friday Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary will hold a grand opening Friday for the completion of the first phase of construction of the floating boardwalk project. “All that was existing of the former run-down boardwalk through the north section has been removed and the new fabricated floats are installed. All that remains to see completion of phase one is for the finishing touches to be completed this coming week,” said Kathleen Burton, executive director of Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary. “We are very pleased to have finished on budget and on time and look forward to welcoming the public across the boardwalk for the first time.” Steve Chang, campaign chair for the project, said the project would not have been possible without the generous donation of $100,000 from the District of Saanich, $75,000 from the Victoria Natural History Society and the many other donations from individuals. “These funding sources provided the funding certainty necessary in order for Swan Lake to proceed with phase one of the long-term, two phase boardwalk planning,” said Chang. The north section of the Swan Lake Christmas Hill Boardwalk was closed throughout the summer as replacement renovations took place on the zig-zag section, through the Willows. The south section of the boardwalk remained open during construction. “A lot of planning and finessing went into carefully lifting each float and the associated fiberglass decking into place. Replacing the old boardwalk weathered by the forces of nature was no small undertaking,” said Burton. The grand reopening of the north section of the boardwalk will take place at 2 p.m. Friday. An additional $800,000 in funding is required to complete the second phase of the project.

Upgrade a perfect fit for St. Margaret’s School Travis Paterson News Staff

Overlooking Blenkinsop Lake to its northeast, there’s no denying the campus around St. Margaret’s School is picturesque. Trails and nature abound. Ironically, until this month a central courtyard near the school’s main entrance went unused. That space is now a 1,200-square-foot open-air yoga and workout space. “It was a dead space that we’ve brought to life,” said Cathy Thornicroft, St. Margaret’s head of school. “It’s sheltered, there’s no limit to how often we can use this. Classes can wheel the spin bikes out here anytime.” In total, St. Margaret’s expanded and renovated the outside space and two new spaces inside as its athletics and wellness centre. One space is for weights and one for spin bikes. There’s also a mezzanine overlooking the small gymnasium with enough space for three ergometer rowing machines. “We’ve doubled our internal training area, and tripled it if you include the outdoor space,” Thornicroft said. A living wall now greets students and visitors as they enter the gymnasium while providing a hint of privacy to those practising outdoor yoga. The project was in line with the school’s goal to provide positive experience in physical education and to encourage long-term healthy habits. The expanded centre boasts contemporary glass structures to bring in natural light, as well as new equipment. Motivational quotes float across a series of mural images of Strathcona Park, which is part of the school’s annual Outdoor Week. All of our middle school students spend four days at Strathcona Park during Outdoor Week in the fall, and this will help reconnect them with their time there, a time spent in nature,” Thornicroft said. It’s the most significant upgrade for SMS, an all-girls day and boarding school established in 1908. Earlier in

St. Margaret’s new fitness and wellness space isn’t just for students. Staff and parents will have access to the equipment either through after-school classes or training hours for school families. reporter@saanichnews.com

Camosun shows support for residential school survivors Camosun College students and employees will be wearing orange today (Sept. 30) to show their commitment to the principle that every child matters and to show support for residential school survivors and their families. “We ask every student to help us honour the 150,000 survivors of the residential school system so their voices can be heard through our participation,” said spokespersons Kristen Spray and Eddy Charlie, who are taking Indigenous Studies at Camosun. “As Indigenous students, we wish to create awareness about the issues of residential schools. We feel a responsibility to stand together so that the spirits of our ancestors can witness our spiritual blanket embracing every path as we rebuild everything that was taken from our ancestors.” Camosun’s Orange T-shirt event takes place at 2 p.m. today at Na’tsa’maht (the Gathering Place) at Camosun’s Lansdowne campus. Orange Shirt Day made its debut in Williams Lake and in just three years has spread across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. Sept. 30 represents the time of year children were taken from their homes, and it sets the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year. It is the opportunity for communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.

Student society works to get out the vote UVic will host Elections Canada special office in student lounge Travis Paterson News Staff

Voting on campus just got a lot easier. The University of Victoria campus is hosting an Elections Canada special elections office in the Student Union Building upper lounge from Oct. 5 to 8. As long as they’re registered, students can actually vote for their home riding, be it Nanaimo or in Alberta, said Kenya Rogers, director of external relations for the University of Victoria Student Society. “It’s been awesome, students are really excited. The main thing we hear is that students want to vote in their home riding,” she said. The special elections office on campus is a pilot project, one of 40 across the country. Last week the UVSS launched their This Year We’re Voting federal election awareness campaign in front of the McPherson Library with representatives from all four major parties, including some candidates. It preceded the Sept. 23 Science Debate moderated by Bob McDonald (host of CBC’s Quirks & Quarks) with Victoria candidates Jo-Ann Roberts of the Green Party and Murray Rankin of the NDP, and Saanich-Gulf Islands candidate Tim Kane of the Liberal Party. “Students are starting to feel voting is not that hard to understand,” Rogers said. “We’re trying to change the narrative around youth votership, and the idea that students traditionally don’t vote.”

Loss raises questions over data collection “I have nothing to suggest the data has fallen into the wrong hands.” That’s what Amrik Virk, B.C.’s minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, had to say to reporters after it was revealed the government lost an unencrypted back-up hard drive that contains the personal education information of 3.4 million people who attended school in B.C. between 1986 and 2009. The minister, of course, is incorrect. The data clearly did end up in the wrong hands: Those of the Liberal government. Only time will tell how this boo-boo of legendary proportions will affect people, and how many, if any, will become victims of identity theft and fraud as a result. The government thinks that risk is low as the data did not contain banking information, social insurance numbers or driver’s licence numbers. But some records also contain personal education numbers, birth dates, home addresses and information concerning “family problems.” Jim Iker, president of the B.C. Teachers Federation, notes the lost data contains mental health information, exam marks, special education designations, foundation skills assessments results and very sensitive data on children in care. All this is now at risk. This breach of security raises the question why the government is collecting all this data in the first place. Iker rightly asks, “At what point do students get the right to be forgotten? Why is a 35-year-old today worried about her or his privacy being violated from student records collected 25 years ago?” Iker noted the government wants to expand data collection and access to data through MyEducationBC. “We have huge concerns about that,” he said.

This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice. O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit. Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts. Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Parking reduction restricts access to park

More parking needed

create a larger parking area, without cutting down any large trees. It would only require the removal of brush, mostly snowberry, and levelling of the land and the laying down of some gravel or road mulch. I emailed the Saanich mayor and council over four weeks ago regarding this issue and have not yet had a considered response to our concern and proposal. Saanich should consider our concern in light of their Trail Master Plan, which states: “It creates the greatest variety of opportunities for the greatest number of users and is accessible to all.” Peter Savage Saanich

My wife and I regularly walk our dog off-leash at Mount Douglas Park, several times a week, often every day in the morning or evening. It is the closest large park to allow our dog to run freely; she is a very active standard poodle. It was with dismay that, commencing in July, we frequently find ourselves unable to park at the Glendenning entrance to Mt. Doug Park. I have some painful medical conditions that only allow me to walk limited distances, albeit with hiking poles to alleviate the back and leg pains. This means that we need to park our car as close to the park as possible. Since ‘No Parking’ signs have been posted all the way along Glendenning, on both sides, the parking is now limited to a tiny section at the entrance to the park. Actually, only five vehicles can park there. There should be parking for 15 vehicles, at least. Having talked with many park users in the past few weeks, it is apparent that most of them decry the new no-parking zones that limit their access to a part of the park that lends itself well to dog walking and for those with limited mobility. The trails are not too steep on this side, making them more usable for a significant number of us. There is ample space immediately adjacent to the current small parking area to

Round we go Allow me to add a word to the discussion on roundabouts. Bruce Debeck, in his letter of disagreement over the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of McKenzie Avenue and Highway 1, contradicts himself. He writes: “Mr. Dixon is correct about roundabouts reducing serious injury and death but not if you are travelling in a circle at 80 km/h.” The speed limit on McKenzie is 60 km/h, and even that traffic must slow down to enter a roundabout. That is why they reduce serious accidents. The other major factor in favour of roundabouts, if they

are well designed, is that they keep the traffic moving all the time. You would think our authorities would be interested in that, and in reducing the carnage on our roads. Jack Dixon Saanich

It was very sad to read in the recent Saanich News that an elected member on the council was very critical of other elected members on his own council. Why not ask himself, as an individual, what he could do to help the situation? Negative remarks and attitudes only fuel the flame of discontent. Does the voice of allegiance still have some meaning.

topography. I have seen strollers, families with young children, people with canes and walking sticks, even the occasional wheelchair as well as the usual array of walkers, seniors, dog-walkers and runners. Parking along the edge of a narrow street is not ideal. If this is a safety issue with the fire department, as I have heard, another parking arrangement must be found. The solution, perhaps, is a proper parking lot to accommodate at least 30 vehicles. I think this should be a priority so that this once vibrant walking venue does not remain, as it is now, largely empty of people. I implore you to reconsider the draconian curtailment of access to the Glendenning entrance of Mount Douglas Park, a community resource which we all support with our taxes. Marcia Perkins Saanich

2015

As a daily visitor to Mount Douglas Park for almost 12 years, I am dismayed and perplexed at the essential closure of the Glendenning entrance due to the reduction of available parking to five spaces. There are several reasons this is a particularly important entrance into the park. First, the Glendenning entrance is well positioned as it is the closest to the most populated areas surrounding the park and provides convenient access to the most people. Secondly, probably because of its proximity to the largest communities, this entrance has proven popular for years. Regularly there were 10 to 15 and often 25 to 30 cars carefully parked along the edge of the road. In 12 years I have never seen parking inhibit access to the street by large vehicles such as delivery vans, recycling or refuse trucks. Thirdly, this entrance to the park is uniquely accessible due to its wide, smooth and fairly flat

District of Saanich

Longtime Greater Victoria wrestling coach Ed Ashmore is seeking athletes as the Lower Island Schools wrestling program started training this week. The team, known as the Victoria Commonwealth Bulldogs, was created for athletes from school districts 61 and 63 whose schools are without a wrestling team (which is most of them). This fall Ashmore will be inducted to the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame as a builder for coaching local athletes (Taras Hryb, 1972 Munich Olympics) and as an international wrestling official. In recent years the program has produced multiple Island champions and also graduated one of Canada’s top wrestlers, Stacie Anaka (Reynolds secondary, SFU), as well as up-andcoming professional mixed martial arts athlete Alexi Argyiou (Mount Douglas secondary) who is 6-0 in combined amateur and pro fights. Wrestlers between the ages of 8 and19 years old are welcome at all levels. The fee is very nominal and covers the mandatory registration with B.C. Wrestling. “It’s about $80 and covers the insurance,” Ashmore said. “If you do the math, at four hours of training per week until April, it works out to less than a dollar per session.” Training is 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday nights in the Cedar Hill middle school gymnasium, 3910 Cedar Hill Rd. For more information call Ed Ashmore at 250-384-9459 or email Vicbulldogs@gmail.com. reporter@saanichnews.com

Saanich Seniors

Caregivers stressed to breaking point There are more than 30,000 seniors in British Columbia who would not enjoy their precious measure of independence without the help of unpaid family caregivers and other volunteers. However, B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says thousands of these family caregivers are stressed to the breaking point. Some are “profoundly exhausted.” In her September report titled “Caregivers in Distress: More Respite Needed” Mackenzie says: “Unpaid caregivers in B.C., most of whom are family members, need more support. She wisely points out that B.C. needs to start viewing supporting unpaid caregivers as an investment in the health care system. Indeed, in dollar terms these caring volunteers represent a huge investment. The contributions of spouses, family members, neighbours, friends and volunteers is estimated to be more than $4 billion a year. Without their selfless contributions, that cost would fall to governments at the local, provincial and federal levels. However, we are reminded constantly by all levels of government that rising health care costs are becoming an untenable burden on taxpayers. Mackenzie says the stories she hears are heart-warming and heart-breaking “as unbelievably committed husbands and wives steadfastly and stoically care for their aging spouses. “There are sons and daughters, some of whom are seniors themselves, demonstrating a deep commitment to keeping their moms and dads at home. I see and hear about the very meaningful fulfillment this caregiving brings, while I also learn of the frustration and exhaustion that caregivers so often experience as well.” Mackenzie looked at data for 31,000 seniors in this province who are enrolled in the home support system. She found that 29 per

cent of caregivers are experiencing actual distress. This means that about 9,000 individuals – each providing an average of 30 hours of care a week – reported being angry, depressed, or in conflict because of the pressure of caring for a loved one. Our elders’ watchdog rightly characterizes this as a wake-up call because many of these unpaid caregivers are the only thing standing between a senior’s continued ability to live at home and placement in residential care. If B.C. does not find

a way to support these caregivers in distress there will be added pressure on the already stressed residential care and acute care system. Unfortunately, services such as home support have not kept pace with the increase in the seniors’ population. Some are actually decreasing, such as adult day programs and respite beds. There are times when profoundly exhausted caregivers need a break from their duties. Respite beds, usually located in residential care facilities, are a remedy. Mackenzie compared B.C. to Alberta, and found B.C. has a 45 per cent greater rate of caregiver distress, yet clients in Alberta are accessing more home support for less complex needs. The Alberta comparison also revealed an opportunity to significantly reduce emergency department visits and

hospital admissions by providing high intensity adult day programs. The seniors advocate says her report contains evidence to support the case that B.C. can be doing more to support distressed caregivers by increasing their access to respite through three provincially funded supports: adult day programs, home support and respite beds. “We know that increasing these supports will not eradicate caregiver distress. Respite is just one of many possible interventions. However, it is a critical step in ensuring that caregivers receive as much support as possible in the vital and often overlooked work they are providing,” Mackenzie concludes. lll

Q: Why do you suggest retirement communities are a healthier alternative to living at home?

A: It is the social component (and all that encompasses) that

is so fulﬁlling when residing in a retirement community. While, some seniors may be fortunate enough to be actively involved with family, friends and ’community’, many more seniors experience diminished ‘community’(resulting from compromised health, loss of a partner/and or close friends, losing driver’s license, poorer eating habits and many other factors) increasing loneliness and isolation. An excerpt from Psychology Today: *** Friendship is a lot like food. We need it to survive. Psychologists ﬁnd that human beings have fundamental need for inclusion in group life and for close relationships. We are truly social animals. The upshot is, we function best when this social need is met. It is easier to stay motivated, to meet the varied challenges of life. In fact, evidence has been growing that when our need for social relationships is not met, we fall apart mentally and even physically. There are effects on the brain and on the body. In other words, we are built for social contact. There are serious — life-threatening — consequences when we don’t get enough. We can’t stay on track mentally. And we are compromised physically. Social skills are crucial for your health. *** Helen Brown is your local Vancouver Island senior living expert.

Cities debate marijuana dispensary authority Tom Fletcher Black Press

With medical marijuana dispensaries continuing to open in defiance of federal law, more B.C. communities have joined the call for local authority to regulate what are often little more than retail pot stores. Lower Mainland communities found majority support at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention to bypass legal wrangling over medical marijuana access, as a court challenge continues against the Conservative government’s strict controls on growing and selling it legally. Maple Ridge Coun. Corisa Bell said other cities are facing the same issues as Vancouver, where about 100 dispensaries have opened in a free-for all with street-level marketing to young people. Vancouver ignored protests from federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose to use authorized sources of medical marijuana, and adopted a licensing system last spring to keep pot shops away from schools, community centres and each other. Vancouver set a licence fee of $30,000 for dispensaries and $1,000 for non-profit “compassion clubs,” with Victoria preparing to follow suit. But other communities don’t have the same revolutionary zeal. Esquimalt Coun. Susan Lowe, whose community banned the pipe-headed mascot “Bongy” from hawking wares of a marijuana paraphernalia store in 2013, said she isn’t qualified to regulate medical pot. The Lower Mainland proposal also doesn’t prevent a patchwork of different rules in adjoining communities, Lowe said. Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said the latest resolution seems intended to stick to municipal authority over location and zoning, but it doesn’t say so explicitly, and the UBCM loses credibility when it wanders outside its mandate. Port Alberni Coun. Jack McLeman said he

In Vancouver, illegal pot stores have employed scantily clad women to attract customers, including young people. supports the two-year-old UBCM endorsement of legalizing pot, although his drug of choice for pain is Scotch whisky. He said his council has been approached about medical dispensaries, and invited applications, but no one followed through. “Just legalize the junk,” McLeman said. “Don’t tell me it’s your aspirin.” Maple Ridge Coun. Craig Speirs drew laughter from delegates when he said there was “some consternation” when his city’s first dispensary opened, “but it’s proved to have a calming effect on the neighbourhood.” The motion to support municipal control over pot stores passed in a show of hands, with about one-third of those attending opposed.

At the dawn of the 20th century, Victoria was a city on the move. As Canada’s Pacific gateway, its natural advantages included a mild climate and impressive central harbour. As refined capital of a booming province, its position held great promise for it to profit from trade and tourism routes throughout the British Empire and the world. However, its poor shipping connections with the Pacific terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in Vancouver impeded future growth. Seeking to improve the Victoria to Vancouver steamer service, Canadian Pacific Navigation Company (CPN) purchased land on Belleville Street in 1899 to expand operations but they lacked sufficient resources to proceed. In 1901, the deeppocketed CPR

Mary, Princess Patricia and Princess Maquinna became household names. The era’s best known ship was the sleek and elegant Princess Victoria, which set new speed records on the Vancouver crossing, and generated considerable pride in its namesake homeport. By the 1920s, tourist traffic exceeded the capacity of the existing fleet and the rise of automobiles required new vessels with the ability to carry vehicles as well as passengers. Victoria had lived up to its promise as a city with a bright future. PLEASE SEE: CPR’s “Temple of Poseidon” opened in 1924, Page A19

CPR’s “Temple of Poseidon” opened in 1924 Continued from Page A18

The Rattenbury-designed Parliament Buildings and Empress Hotel, opened in 1898 and 1908 respectively, had created a brilliant inner harbour panorama that Rattenbury was proud to consider his “life’s work.” In 1923, CPR asked Rattenbury to design a grand new terminal to replace his earlier Tudor-style structure. Rattenbury pledged to create “a building that would harmonize and add to the beauty” of the harbour precinct. With support from architect Percy James, Rattenbury envisioned a glittering new Pacific headquarters that would befit the CPR’s power and prestige. He designed a monumental Greek waterfront temple with massive Ionic columns, Welsh slate roof and an exterior adorned at each corner with carved heads of Poseidon – the Greek god of the sea. Workmen began tearing down the old ticket office in August 1923 and construction began shortly thereafter. A novel technique was used to keep standards high and costs low. Imitation sandstone for the facade was created in moulds in the building’s basement using a mixture of white cement and pulverized marble and granite. When completed, the terminal’s reception area featured 17-foot ceilings, a grand central fireplace, marbled waiting rooms and floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views of passing

“When completed, the terminal’s reception area featured 17-foot ceilings, a grand central fireplace, marbled waiting rooms and floor-to-ceiling windows with spectacular views of passing ships. The total cost of the building was $250,000.” ships. The total cost of the building was $250,000. CPR’s “Temple of Poseidon” opened during the summer of 1924, in anticipation of welcoming two new ships which had been commissioned to modernize the fleet. Princess Kathleen and Princess Marguerite could each carry 1,500 passengers as well as 30 automobiles. Concurrent upgrades to the CPR piers in Seattle and Vancouver enhanced the overall triangle service. The CPR terminal was the last building Rattenbury designed in the Inner Harbour. He considered it “as good as anything I have ever done” and its success led to him joining the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. For decades, it welcomed the world to its wharves. But by the 1950s, the CPR service was in decline and its aging fleet was no longer the toast of the town. In 1958, strikes caused severe disruptions to CPR’s coastal service and helped convince Premier W.A.C. Bennett to

create B.C. Ferries. Over time, guests on CPR’s overnight services to Vancouver were outnumbered by crew as competition grew from government car ferries, new private operators and airlines. CPR transferred its coastal headquarters to Vancouver and in 1970 leased the building to the Royal London Wax Museum. CPR ended passenger services in 1974 and sold the terminal to the province the following year. The wax museum closed in 2010 and in 2012, Greater Victoria Harbour Authority assumed the head lease and invested $2.6 million in renovations. Current tenants include Robert Bateman Centre, Steamship Grill and Bar and Starbucks. Potential new tenants include Oceans Networks Canada and Riverside Marine, with exciting plans to return the building to its transportation roots by inaugurating a new Victoria to Vancouver marine passenger service. On Canada Day this year, the Harbour Authority unveiled dusk-to-dawn lighting which can display a variety of colours to spotlight the building’s heritage features and highlight its continuing role as the shining temple of tourism in Victoria’s spectacular harbour panorama. lll

Province commits funds for urban deer projects Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has committed up to $100,000 a year to share costs of “urban deer management

operations,” with an advisory committee to guide communities in reducing the risks and damage they cause. The province is responsible for wildlife management,

but the government wants solutions to be developed locally. Some communities have resorted to killing deer, with mixed success and sometimes intense

local opposition, while others suggest birth control, relocation or “hazing” of deer using dogs to keep them away from communities. A B.C. government

Sandi Burchill April 11, 1950 ~ September 22, 2015

LOST AND FOUND FOUND: BROACH in Monk Office in Sidney. Sept. 22. Call to describe (250)655-3888.

It is with great sadness, that the family of Sandra Jean â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sandiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Burchill announces her passing on Tuesday, September 22, 2015 after her brief fight with lung cancer. Sandi is survived by her husband and best friend, Tom, her amazing daughters, Arlene (Glenn) and Traci (Chad) and her perfect grandchildren, Megan, Emma, Hunter and Grace. She is further survived by her sister, Shirley Robinson, nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends. In addition to her parents, Harold and Alice Langley, she was preceded in death by brothers Eric and Parker. Sandi was born on April 11, 1950 in New Glasgow N.S., the youngest of Harold & Aliceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four children. At seventeen, she moved from her hometown of Seal Harbour, N.S. to Halifax where she met her soulmate Tom and married shortly after. Early into their marriage the couple welcomed their daughters, Arlene and Traci. The family moved a few times, back and forth, between British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia before finally settling in Victoria, B.C. in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s. Sandi went to work for Black Press soon after the family settled, where she spent the next 30-plus years becoming a wealth of knowledge and an administrative goddess for the company before retiring in April of this year. She was an active member and Deacon at Elk Lake Baptist Church and a prominent volunteer with Langford Emergency Support Services. Sandi was a generous and dedicated individual who cared for everyone that entered her life. She will forever be remembered for her kind and compassionate nature. A funeral is scheduled for 2:00 pm on October 3, 2015 at Elk Lake Baptist Church, 5349 Pat Bay Hwy, Victoria, B.C. with a reception to follow. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Sandiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Memorial website has been set up through Sands Funeral Chapel at sandsfuneralcolwood.sharingmemories.ca Please feel free to share your thoughts and memories with all of Sandiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends on the website. The family would like to thank everyone for their kind words, shared thoughts and condolences.
