Mayors make pitch to province UBCM meeting an important opportunity for Peninsula municipalities Tim Collins News contributor

Representatives from all of the Saanich Peninsula municipalities were at Vancouver Convention Centre recently for the 2015 meeting of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM). The UBCM is an advocate organization for municipal governments and its annual meeting provides those municipalities a chance to meet with Provincial ministers and staff in an effort to raise those issues that are most important to local government. “We all go there with our own expectations and agendas,” said Central Saanich Mayor, Ryan Windsor. “For example, this year we met with the Minister to talk about enhancing the role of First Nations involvement in the Capital Region. It’s an important issue and this meeting gave us the opportunity to make that point.” “We also had an opportunity to meet with the minister of the environment to talk about establishing a ‘no-sewRyan Windsor age-discharge’ regulation for the Saanich Inlet. It’s an issue that we would otherwise have a hard time pursuing, and it is very important to our environment.” Another important issue that was a topic of discussion involved rules governing agricultural land. “Our municipality still has agriculture as an integral part of who we are, and it’s important that the rules are well understood and that we have input into their development and implementation,” said Windsor.

End of an era for Marigold Ray Smith takes a walk down memory lane Carlie Connolly News staff

Sitting out back of Marigold Nursery, the sunshine beaming down on owner Ray Smith’s face, there was a real sense of passion, hard work and pride in the air, as the Smith family prepares to close the business after close to 50 years. He took the PNR back to the nursery’s glory days and the people that made it all worthwhile. Opening in the early 1960s, the Smith family bought the property

when it was just fields. Marigold will be closing its doors come Christmas Eve. Beginning as a wholesale-sales only business, Marigold Nursery later moved into retail as well, with a small store at the front. The change saw customers piling in. Now being retail only the last few years, there are still lots of customers but Smith says things have changed. “People’s buying habits have changed. Younger people can’t afford houses so the houses that they can afford don’t have any yards, so the amount of purchasing is limited.” Working at the business is Smith’s daughter Brooke and son, Randy along

with his wife, Libby. Their total number of employees is around a dozen people. When asked how it’s been to work with family, Ray replied with a laugh, saying it’s tough but that they have each other’s back. The company has had its fair share of challenges with Ray’s younger brother dying, a major fire that left them losing their whole Christmas crop and sheds burnt to the ground and a collapse of the greenhouses under heavy snowfall, but they of course bounced back.

CENTRAL SAANICH —Following the recent report of money taken from a parent’s group fund at Keating Elementary School and a subsquent police and school district investigation, Peninsula Co-op has offered to donate $30,000. The money will go towards the replacement of the school’s playground equipment. An estimated $40,000 went missing from the fund and the investigation is looking at a single individual, a former member of the school’s parent advisory council. An arrest has not been made. There will be a presentation of the Peninsula Co-op donation at the school on Monday, Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. Keating Elementary is located at 6843 Central Saanich Rd.

Candidates in the federal riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands stood before close to 160 seniors at Sidney’s SHOAL Centre Tuesday, addressing issues facing the older set. Sponsored by the Victoria chapter of the Canadian Association for Retired Persons (CARP), candidates Alicia Cormier (NDP), Tim Kane (Liberal) and Elizabeth May (Green) were asked to outline their party’s policies on issues from pharmacare and retirement pension reform, to affordable housing for seniors and veteran survivor benefits. Conservative candidate Robert Boyd was not at the forum. Cormier outlined the NDP’s take on seniors’ issues, pledging to hire more doctors, look into a universal policy on drug coverage and to return the age of retirement to 65 rather than the current 67. Kane said the Liberals also plan to return the retirement age to 65, as well as establish a seniors’ price index, to help seniors to be able to better afford the things they spend their money on the most. May noted the Green Party would establish a seniors bill of rights, over-arching legislation to cover areas of health care, economic wellbeing and to help guard against senior abuse. She also pointed out her party would look to create a national dementia strategy. Following opening statements, where the candidates outlined their overall party policies, members of the

Margaret Gussman, a widow who was married to a veteran of the Second World War — but who married him after they were 60 years old — asked about the so-called gold-digger clause. It, in a nutshell, is part of the veterans’ pension act and denies widows access to their spouse’s pension if they were married after the serviceman turned 60.

Local government and amalgamation on the table at UBCM Continued from page 1

Alice Finall, mayor of North Saanich agrees. “The agricultural workshop was very important for municipalities like North and Central Saanich,” she said, “and we welcomed the opportunity to have that dialogue.” But Finall also had the opportunity to raise other issues at the UBCM convention. “We met with Todd Stone (B.C. Minister of

Another area of concern for Finall involved the office of the auditor general for local governments. “We passed a motion calling for that office to be discontinued,” said Finall. “It has cost significant amounts of money and has shown very little in return. A new Auditor General has now been appointed and we are optimistic that things are going to improve.” For Sidney’s Mayor, Steve Price, the UBCM convention was a chance for Sidney to shine as they received the “Open for Business” award in recognition of the municipality’s work in promoting new business opportunities. “The award came with a cash prize of $10,000 which we are going to use to further promote business in Sidney,” said Price. It was also an opportunity for Price to pursue a number of other issues, including the question of what the plans are for continuing the discussion on amalgamation of municipalities. “We have a new Minister involved now and we wanted to get a sense of where he was taking this issue. It’s important to have our input when we can,” said Price. “These meetings are important,” said Windsor. “We have a level of access to provincial ministers and staff that you don’t get on a regular basis ... and the format allows for important discussions to take place that otherwise might never happen.” editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Out of those struggles however, came a real sense of community with the people that just kept coming back. “That’s what I’m going to miss … the people. Those are the memories you really cherish,” said Ray. “You know them by name, they know you by name, they’ve been coming here ever since we started.” As for the decision to close, he says it’s for a few reasons; economic reasons and the effects that come with aging. “It’s too valuable a piece of property to carry on. The money’s not there like it used to be but you never know, we might pop up somewhere else … you never know.” Even though they

When Marigold is gone, the chunk of land will be developed for housing.

With a few months left for Marigold, Ray said he will be taking a well earned step back to relax and unwind, but admitted he will miss working at the nursery greatly. “I work seven days a week. I graduated school in ’68 and worked here every day since.” reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Firefighters from North Saanich, Central Saanich, Sidney and Saanich will take close to 800 Grade 4 and 5 students through the annual fire safety expo this week. Children learn about smoke detectors, escape plans and even how to use fire extinguishers properly.

Teaching kids to get out alive Fire safety expo helps families create solid escape plans Steven Heywood News staff

More than 800 Grade 4 and 5 students from area schools are learning about fire safety and how to get out alive — in case of an emergency. The annual fire safety expo is being hosted by the North Saanich Fire Department this week. It’s a partnership with Central Saanich, Sidney and

the District of Saanich and firefighters hope to get the kids thinking about having a safe home. Captain Steve Knapp with the North Saanich fire department says this year’s focus is on smoke detectors and escape plans. Each of eight activities at the fire hall on Wain Road is designed to teach the students how to be safe — and how to ensure

they know a safe way out of their home should a fire break out. Prevention is the name of the game, Knapp said, with lessons on proper cooking techniques and electrical safety, to demonstrations on how to stay low to escape smoke and how to use a fire extinguisher. “We only see these kids for two hours between Grade 5 and Grade 12, or for the rest of their lifetimes,” Knapp said. “So we hope they will learn and teach their parents and keep a safe home over the

long term.” The firefighters are also handing out a pamphlet on smoke detector safety — which also includes space to draw up a home fire escape plan. Knapp said it’s the hope of all the fire departments that the activities during the expo, plus a little homework, will have kids and their families thinking about their safety — and perhaps ensuring that the family knows primary and secondary ways out of the house in case of emergency.

OUR VIEW

The local race matters

or all that you hear about so-called voter fatigue, turnout at local candidates forums would appear to indicate people are eager to know more about those campaigning towards the October 19 federal election. There were close to 160 people at Sidney’s SHOAL Centre for a mid-afternoon forum on seniors’ issues. That evening, another 200 people packed into the gym at Lochside Elementary School to hear from the same Saanich-Gulf Islands candidates who had appeared at at least one other event that day. And there are more forums to come. That would seem to indicate a desire for more of a personal connection with the candidates in this riding. For weeks, much of the federal race has been taking place in Ottawa or among the leaders of the respective parties. It left voters early in this campaign possibly feeling left out and thereby creating a sort of fatigue — or more of a frustration that little of that talk was trickling down to them. Early in the campaign it was one minor crisis after another and the Mike Duffy court case. At this stage, voters have the chance to see who might be representing them in Ottawa, and that gives the local races a completely different flavour. While candidate forums will never be the entire picture of a local election campaign, they do provide snapshots on local issues. In Sidney this week, seniors’ issues took centre stage at the SHOAL Centre. The candidates stayed on the party message for the most part but, thankfully, the audience asked enough questions to force them to veer off those lines and actually show a little personality — and whether they can think on their feet and respond in an intelligent and well-thought-out manner. Each scored their points at this event. The real winners, of course, were the voters — the people who were there to shore up their affiliations or the undecideds who are looking for the one breakthrough issue or pledge that speaks to them. A far-off race won’t help them. It’s only this close contact with the candidates that will help people make up their minds as they go to cast their ballot. What do you think?

Plenty of family history on the property Letters to the Editor Try rail instead

We appreciate your interest in the wonderful property at 10301 Resthaven Drive and are pleased that others will enjoy it. However, I do need to correct the assumption that it had been generations of Mackays living there. My uncle by marriage, Alex Menagh was the man who lived there from 1900 and who built the majority of the home. He married my aunt, Julia Whiteside in the 1920s and it became their main residence. My parents, Sam and Kate Vallis, moved there in 1970, Mom being Julia’s sister. They added on to the building. We, my Whiteside cousins and our families, were blessed to have summered on the Bay and our family moved there in the 1980s. Our son and daughter have been blessed to have great memories of Roberts Bay and Sidney. Thank you to Uncle Alex! Helen Mackay Sidney

Don’t call it a cabin The photo and caption of the lot on Resthaven Drive, describing someone’s beloved family home as “a small cabin” was disrespectful. A home is a home, especially one that stood for “almost 100 years.” Perhaps celebrating a family’s presence on Roberts Bay for nearly a century would be more appropriate than an off-handed insult to their home. Davies’ plans to develop this lot

(Editor’s note: Previous owners of the home had described it to the PNR as a cabin.)

Another crash on the Malahat. Another complete waste of time, money and fuel for hundreds of individuals as well as companies hauling everything from apples to zincs. One has to ask why would we as a society prefer to spend $19 million per kilometer to improve the highway when we could fix up the E&N rail line for $2.6 million per kilometer. Never mind the fact that gas taxes only make up less than half the costs of maintaining roads and highways — not improving or building new ones. The rest of the money that goes into maintaining, policing and cleaning up the mess that drivers cause comes from yours and my taxes. Having rail service for both freight and passengers on the E&N would give companies and individuals real alternatives for transit up and down the island while at the same time reducing traffic on the Malahat and have the added benefit of giving anybody either too young, too old or disabled from having a drivers licence a chance to travel. The provincial and federal governments really need to commit to a real and cheap alternative to the Malahat. Eric Diller Sidney

Winery lounge request given more time for scrutiny council nEWS

• District of Central Saanich council heard from a few residents who said they needed more time to meet with the owner of de Vine Vineyards to discuss the use of the property and the creation of a lounge facility at the vineyard.

The final draft wasn’t provided until the morning of the council meeting and residents didn’t feel they had enough time to look over it. Council decided to allow more time for further discussion. • Council will include the first phase of municipal hall upgrades in their 2016 budget.

They endorsed work to be done to address high-risk health and safety deficiencies at the hall. • A letter was written by Central Saanich farmers in what council calls the Agriculture Advisory Committee, making a list of concerns, ideas and recommendations on the Maber Flats purchase and water retention project. The recommendation was that council direct staff to prepare a draft terms of reference document to proceed a request for proposals for the detailed design of the Maber Flats project.

The District will also work to obtain feedback from the community during the design process. Council decided to bring this forward at a later time. “Because this is a new council addressing this issue and there are new members and returning members at the table looking at this, we decided as a council it would be best to address this article and give us chance to review basically the history of the decision and potential cost of the decision,” said Councillor Niall Paltiel. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

HEALTHY ADVICE FROM YOUR SIDNEY DENTIST

Dr. Muirhead When should my child or grandchild start orthodontics?

This approach has the benefit of avoiding taking out adult teeth and avoiding jaw surgery. It also avoids high school graduations! Starting early between ages 6-10 with orthopaedics can shorten the time needed for tooth alignment and sometimes eliminate the need for braces altogether. If braces are chosen later on the orthopaedic treatment is subtracted from the usual fee for braces not added to it. This approach leads to beautiful faces and smiles, and believe it or not healthier airways, teeth and gums. The best time to start is today!

Gussman said she was married to her husband for 30 years and the clause certainly does not apply in her case.

“I am not resentful,” she said, “but I’m worried for other widows of veterans. I want you to act now.” May said the clause dates back to the Boer War, adding she is

to have that clause repealed. The candidates were asked about the cuts to Veterans’ Affairs offices across the country. Kane said he decided to run, in part, because of

kind of collaboration in a minority parliament will be up to the leader and the party as a whole. Kane said for the Liberals, the simple answer is yes, they would co-operate with other parties should there be a minority government situation. “I really don’t care about minority governments,” he said. “For me, (Justin) Trudeau or (Thomas) Mulcair would be fine alternatives to Harper.” May said the Green Party has a role in a minority government. “Coalition politics make sense in a Westminster Parliamentary Democracy,” she said. “For stability of parliament, it would be better to have a group of (green) MPs to provide balance and try to ensure that a coalition does not destabilize government over policy differences.” General voting day is Oct. 19. Advance polls are taking place Oct. 9 to 12. For information on how and when to vote, visit elections.ca.

May said her party would restore monthly disability payments to veterans, revoking the lump-sums put in place by the Conservative government. “We will restore funding, adding more money, skills training and more for PTSD treatment, including funding for service dogs to help with veterans in need,” May said. The candidates touched on issues of elder abuse and health care for seniors. They were also asked how they, or their parties, would work within a potential minority government. “Consulting and collaboration can be beneficial,” said Cormier, “and that has been a past role for the NDP.” She said she hopes the NDP will win a majority after the Oct. 19 election, and any

Courts dedicated to Dee

Tennis court dedication to Dee Bailin in North Saanich Carlie Connolly News staff

People from North Saanich got together to remember Dee Bailin, councillor, volunteer, mother and a friend to many, at a special dedication at the Wain Road tennis courts on Sept. 29. The word ‘steadfast’ was used by Mayor Alice Finall in her opening speech at the dedication of the recently improved tennis courts, when remembering Bailin, who died at age 87 a few months ago. Finall met Bailin in the early 1980s. Bailin was on District council and volunteered on the board of what used to be called the Peninsula Community Association, now the Beacon Community Association. “She had a very high level of dedication, but it was because she cared so much,” Finall said. “So I’m thrilled to be able to open and dedicate these tennis courts to her memory but also to the memory and in recognition of all she gave.” Serving three terms as a councillor and donating to so many environmental groups, Bailin will be remembered by many, including her daughter Sheila Bailin. “My mom was passionate about tennis and played until shortly before she passed away at 87. Most of you know just how

Carlie Connolly/News staff

North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall stands with Dee Bailin’s daughter Sheila and son-in-law Daniel. passionate my mom was about not just tennis but the community of North Saanich. “If you are on the other side of the tennis net or the political fence, you knew Dee was passionate, enthusiastic and skilled but humble.” Among the crowd was former mayor of North Saanich Linda Michaluk. “The word today was steadfast and that was Dee, whether she was playing tennis, whether she was acting as a mentor, whether she was on council, whether she was involved in volunteer activities, she gave her all and always

encouraged others to come out as well,” she said. Rob Buchan, the District’s Chief Administrative Officer, also had a few things to say about Bailin. “She was a very pleasant, very gracious lady that had deep roots in the community and obviously deep respect and clearly, she gave to the community.” He added the recently upgraded courts are a spectacular addition to the community.

Queen of Hearts, Juice Newton coming to Sidney Carlie Connolly News Staff

Judith Kay, known by many as Juice Newton,

will be hitting the stage next Friday night at the Mary Winspear Centre, with an acoustic trio setting, performing

some of her hit songs. Currently living in California, Newton told the PNR she is excited to come to Sidney to

get a break from the hot weather while of course performing for the intimate crowd she hopes to see. “It’s a much more intimate show. I hope people enjoy it, we’re looking forward to it,” she said. Without the drums and piano, she says the songs are arranged a bit differently because of it being an acoustic show, without bringing a band. With the added bonus of the Winspears’ close quarters, performances appear more intimate with the stage’s close proximity to the audience. “In your mind, you have to make that not less energetic but you have to make it less flamboyant,” said Newton on performing to smaller crowds. On the road until Oct. 11, Newton and her team will end the tour

Juice Newton brings an acoustic show to Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre on Oct. 9

at home and will begin a new project, collecting and writing songs she hopes to have released in the spring. She says they are leaning towards more acoustic based music. “Each project generally has a personality to it, so you try to write or look for songs that share that kind of commonality…

“In my opinion it has to be like a book, you have to have segments through it that all are in some way connected.” From the Grammys to the Country Music Awards, Newton has won many honours with multiple platinum and gold albums and 10 million records sold. She has 15 top 10 hits among her many wellknown songs, such as Angel of the Morning, Queen of Hearts and the number one country hit The Sweetest Thing (I’ve Ever Known) just to name a few. Through it all, Newton has been on quite the ride, performing around the world and still manages to hit the road, continuing on with her musical career. “I’ve been very, very, very fortunate and I’m very fortunate that I’m frankly still working and still on the road. “It’s not the life for everyone. You have to travel well, you have to be flexible in your expectations and you have to be consistent.” Presented by Rock It Boy Entertainment, Newton will perform Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $52.50 and can be purchased online at www.marywinspear.ca. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

DrivewayCanada.ca |

Getting to BMW’s techno core in the Big Apple New York - The all-new 2016 BMW 7 Series is a sixth generation edition of the brand’s big, flagship sedan. The new styling is another evolutionary step and still instantly recognizable as a BMW. Dimensionally this car is the same as the outgoing model, yet it has a radically new and innovative substructure. And the latter, coupled with remarkable onboard technology, is what caught my attention. The new 7 Series, offers a showcase of the very latest technologies that BMW has to offer, combined with more advanced forms of technologies already available. Sadly, a novel driverless “self-parking” technology (controlled by the key fob and available in Europe) has not (yet) received Canadian regulatory approval. Another fascinating new (multi-media) feature is Gesture Control, which lets an operator do things like raise audio volume by twirling your finger, take a phone call with a finger point or wave it away with a wrist flick. An operator can also add customized gestures to trigger a function … a couple come to mind! Pandering to the non-driving

‘‘

Today, much is unique to the 7 series but, figuratively speaking, tomorrow it will spread through the range and the day after it will doubtless be coming to a car near you!

owners is an interesting optional interior first for BMW, a feature called “Executive Lounge”. A feetup recliner in the right rear seat has a body massage feature and a multi-media experience controlled by a removable touch-screen tablet, which is mounted in a clever docking feature. Got to admit, it was rear seat test drive to savour – and yes, I do love this job! BMW is pioneering a different way to improve body rigidity and reduce weight, explained Dr. Wolfgang Hundt, the Project Manager for Driving Dynamics & Driving Assistance. It uses carbonfibre (reinforced plastic)

in key (core) locations of the structure of the new 7 Series. An indicator of how strongly committed BMW is to the use of this ultra-light yet super-strong material is the expansion work (to triple production output) already in progress at its relatively new Moses Lake (Washington State) carbonfibre manufacturing plant. I was most impressed by the balance and poise of the 750i xDrive (with an M-Sport package) on the Monticello Motor Club, in up-state New York. In Sport mode the new 7 is so wonderfully light on its feet that you can very easily forget you’re behind the wheel of a big sedan. The difference between Sport and Comfort modes was quite dramatic and there’s a new one “Adaptive”. It matches the vehicle set-up to the driver’s current driving style and a profile of the route ahead, by talking to the navigation system. A redesigned optional Integral Active Steering system can now be offered in conjunction with the xDrive all-wheel drive system. It can turn the rear wheels in the same or an opposing direction as the front wheels to increase manoeuvrability. The end result is a 7 Series with a much lower centre

of gravity and close to perfect front/rear weight distribution. The 750i xDrive and 750Li

xDrive editions will soon be arriving in Canadian BMW dealer showrooms. A BMW 750i xDrive model

will have a starting MSRP of $113,900, and a longwheelbase 750iL xDrive at $117,900. Pricing,

which should be lower, for the 740 editions will be announced closer to market launch next year.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, October 2, 2015

Whale study helps protect them Continued from page 14

Hoyt spent 10 summers working with orcas in Johnstone Strait off northeast Vancouver Island, taking his first killer whale expedition there from Victoria. “It was quite an exciting time, we didn’t know anything about whales at the time or killer whales at the time,” he told the PNR. He and a team ended up going back every summer, which he did up until 1983 when he wrote an article for National Geographic along with writing his first book, Orca: The Whale Called Killer. Hoyt is the author of 22 books along with four children’s books. Hoyt’s talk in Sidney, titled Adventures with Orcas in the North Pacific, goes back to that of Hoyt’s experiences with these magnificent creatures. In 1999, he began and founded a research program in Russia on the opposite side of the Pacific where he said no one had really studied them. “There was a threat that they were going to be captured by Japanese and other aquariums and so myself and a Russian researcher and a Japanese researcher got together and raised a little bit of money and started a Russian program.” The program has been going for around 15 years and it’s a Russian student program with more than 20 people having

Erich Hoyt has researched killer whales since the 1970s. gone through it. “The idea was that if we didn’t get local people who were really interested in studying the whales and then hopefully in conserving them, that we weren’t going to have a population of killer whales over there.” Hoyt says that has worked out well. “In the last three years, the capture industry has really taken off in terms of capturing killer whales in Russian waters for Chinese and Russian aquariums … but 20 killer whales have been captured in the last three or four years so this is something that we’re trying to stop and trying to make a lot of noise about because from what we’re

learning, they’re capturing the same pods repeatedly.” He will be showing videos and photos from his time with the whales, going back to what he has learned about these killer whales over the years and what they are learning in Russia, tying it together for his presentation. His latest book, Creatures of the Deep, is a narrative coffee table book with stories in it as well as photos and it’s an expanded version. “The stories are really taking the reader on a journey to the bottom of the sea, so you go through all these layers and you find out what’s living at these different layers.” The book doesn’t just take one on trips, but it’s also historical, talking about humans trying to get to the bottom of the sea. Hoyt says that in spending time with the whales, you are always learning. He says that between 2000 and 2012 alone the Census on Marine Life discovered 1,200 new species in the deep sea. His own fascination in the whales began in 1973, but since then he continues on with his work with them. “I always wanted to find out stuff that nobody knew, that was brand new, that was at the edge of what we understand.” Hoyt’s presentation is at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 6 at the SODC. Call 250-655-7511 for tickets.

The Choir repertoire is broad ranging from formal choral works, to popular, modern, show, folk, New Zealand Waiata, sacred and gospel.

It has been a very good year for real estate sales on the Saanich Peninsula and the trend looks to be something that will continue. “The market actually changed in July of last year and it has continued since that time,” said Oliver Katz of Re/Max Real Estate. “Our numbers are up by some 25 per cent and it’s really become a seller’s market over the spring and summer. “There’s been a great deal of competition and we’re now dealing with the situation where we sometimes get multiple offers on homes. As well, the amount of time that homes are staying on the listings has decreased markedly.” There are a variety of factors that are combining to influence that trend, according to Jack Barker of Re/Max in Sidney. “Certainly the lower interest rates have spurred sales,” said Barker. “We see people buying properties as homes, certainly, but we’re also seeing situations where buyers are coming into the market looking for secondary rental properties as an investment.” That trend has been given a boost with the recent announcement by CMHC (Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation) that, effective September 28, 2015, income from rental suites will once again factor into the eligibility calculations on mortgage applications. That option had been removed by CMHC some time ago, but has now been reinstated. According to their web-

site, this move has been made to “align CMHC’s policies with the evolving financing needs of the affordable housing marketplace.” “The truth is that their (CMHC’s) competitors have been allowing rental income into the calculations all along,” said Linda Smith, Branch Manager of the Select Mortgage Corporation. “Both Genworth and Canada Guarantee have allowed income from rental suites into their calculations, dependent upon the local regulations and bylaws. In some cases even income from non-conforming suites has been allowed.” Whatever the cause, the purchase of properties for investment purposes is a growing trend. “You can see why people would get into secondary investments in rental properties,” said Barker. “Given the very low interest rates and the way the stock market has been behaving, it makes sense for some people to get into what they see as a much safer and more profitable investment.” And the demand for rental accommodations has been steadily increasing, said Barker. “We’ve seen this trend in both the U.S.A. and the U.K. where seniors are now choosing to reside in rental properties and are willing to pay for those rentals,” said Barker. “The demand has become so strong in those countries that seniors are now outbidding the millennial generation for rental accommodation. As that trend begins to show itself here, the demand for rental accommodation may well rise and the attractiveness

for investors who are considering secondary home purchases will rise with it.” “The big thing is that, for whatever the reason, the market has been incredibly strong this spring and sum-

mer season,” said Denise Hogue, Communications Manager for the Victoria Real Estate Board. “We’re seeing across the board strength in sales ... whether that’s people buying as prin-

cipal residences or as rental/ investment properties ... it really doesn’t matter from the vendor’s point of view. It’s a seller’s market and it looks like it will stay that way for some time.”

Bailin remembered fondly Continued from page 9

The tennis courts had a complete face lift, being resurfaced with new asphalt and paint just a few weeks ago. The work was paid for by a donation by Bailin’s family. Among the many tennis players who knew Bailin was Sandy Phillips, who played tennis with her for two and a half years. “She was wonderful. She could place the ball where you couldn’t get it and it was amazing,” she said. Susan Hirst, who is active with the Penin-

sula Tennis Club, also knew Bailin from playing next to her on the courts at Panorama Recreation Centre. “We chatted all the time, she was a lovely woman.” Brenda Shoemaker was also there to play tennis on the newly improved courts while remembering Bailin, who was a neighbour. “When we’d chat, she’d be coming down the street and I’d be gardening and we’d chat and we both shared a real love of music and a love of tennis … I really respected and admired her for her philanthropy.”
