Unwrapping the bubble-wrap generation Saanich implements five-year youth plan Travis Paterson News Staff

The generational backlash from hyper-parenting is real and it’s a driving theme in Saanich’s new Youth Development Strategy. The five-year implementation plan was designed by a diverse team of community programmers and members after about 40 public engagement sessions in 2015, mostly with youth. It was approved at the final Saanich council session of 2015. “What we saw was society has been taking away and sanitizing play spaces [in an effort] to manage liability and risk, and it’s taken away opportunities for youth to explore and test themselves,” said Sandra Pearson, manager of community services in Saanich. At the heart of the strategy is six strategic priorities. None stand out like No. 3: Risk and Outdoor play. “We kept hearing from youth they are ‘bubble wrapped’ from hyper parenting, which is different from my generation,” she said. “Helicopter parenting” and “too safe” also came up a lot. “We have one study that shows 40 years ago some kids had a span up to six kilometres from home, whereas now the boundaries are the front yard, or the street,” Pearson added. Among the criticisms are playgrounds where everything is the same width, height and size, and there’s not enough experimental risk play for kids. Those risks are in fact key opportunities for kids to build confidence, Pearson explained. It also comes down to an exponential increase in screen time and the increase of youth obesity. The rest of the strategic priorities are to increase participation, collaboration, social well-being, youth spaces and communication. Therefore, there is a goal within the plan to encourage more outdoor play spaces, especially some with an element of perceived risk. “One message we received from youth is they feel parks are for young children and seniors, and they don’t see how they fit into parks and playgrounds, youth play elements,” Pearson said. Skateboard/BMX parks, for instance, are ideal examples of hangout spots where kids can test the boundaries of their own physical capabilities without anyone judging them.

There are other elements to keep in mind when redoing parks, Pearson explained. “We want to consider what can be added to parks to make them more suitable. To do that, we want to know how to engage with youth so that when we redo a park, they get what they want.” One possibility is to add one or two skateboard park elements, or a bouldering wall for rock climbing, in a neighbourhood park or playground. The overall strategy is much more diverse. There

is also feedback from youth who would like more opportunities for lifeskill development, such as cooking healthy workshops for food skill and nutrition. The Youth Development Strategy project team had between 12 and 15 members throughout, and included a superintendent and assistant superintendent from local school districts 61 and 63. It also used a youth research team of five (11 to 18) throughout the process, as well as three community members and a retired public health nurse. reporter@saanichnews.com

Film festival comes into focus for UVic students Jacob Zinn News Staff

It all started with a plate of wings. Tahir Chatur and Moiz Karim – both fourth-year students at UVic – were sitting in Felicita’s Pub when Karim made his pitch: let’s start a festival for young, amateur filmmakers. “He had done something like it in high school, and I said, ‘Sure, let’s do it,’” said Chatur. “In Grade 11 and 12, I did a film festival with a couple of my high school friends,” said Karim. “When I got to UVic, I really wanted to do something on a larger scale. The focus and where I am right now as a person, I think it’s the right time to pursue it.” That’s how the Shoreline Film Festival was hatched by Chatur, Karim and fellow classmate Matt Power. Tentatively scheduled for March, the fest aims to give amateur directors, actors, producers and writers a platform to show their work to a live audience and make connections with industry professionals. While neither Chatur nor Karim are film students, both are movie buffs, drawing inspiration from cult classics like Pulp Fiction to modern blockbusters like The Imitation Game for their own short films. “I never got the chance or the opportunity to take film in university, but it’s a huge hobby of mine,” said Karim. “If you go through my laptop, you’ll see a whole lot of scripts that I’m just waiting to write and film.” Karim hosts his short films on a YouTube channel, one of which boasts more than 54,000

Jacob Zinn/News Staff

UVic students Moiz Karim and Tahir Chatur are hoping to connect young, amateur filmmakers with industry professionals through their upcoming Shoreline Film Festival, tentatively scheduled for March. The festival is open to student filmmakers 25 and under, with the top seven or eight films to be screened and judged by a panel of producers, animators and film professors. views. But while YouTube has drawn more eyeballs to his work, Karim said it hasn’t led to more networking options for pursuing film. “I got a bunch of views, but who was watching it? Just average YouTubers,” he said, noting he wants the films in the festival to draw the attention of those in the film industry. “There’s not a lot out there

for amateur filmmakers. You have VFF and TIFF, but that’s for feature-length films and you’re a professional filmmaker. This is more for two or three kids with a video camera.” Short films 10 minutes or less in length are eligible for the festival, so long as they were made no more than two years prior to the March 1 deadline. The festival is open to students

25 and under, as well as nonstudents between the ages of 17 and 25. There are some restrictions (no copyrighted music and no excessive gore, profanity or violence), but when it comes to genres, the organizers are open to everything. “Anything works – you could film a skateboard trick. You can put your face in front of the

camera and talk. You can do a standup act,” said Karim. “You could submit a Vine – honestly, anything.” The organizers are currently lining up potential judges for the film festival, ranging from producers to animators to film professors. They are also trying to get some judges from the Vancouver Island South Film and Media Commission. Chatur said they expect to screen seven or eight short films at the fest, with the judges selecting a handful of films for prizes. “We really just want the one night where we can get together, meet each other, get accolades and just fuel (film projects) throughout the rest of the year,” said Chatur. “The main goal is to start the community.” The festival will also feature live performances and an art auction, in an effort to reach out to “other forms of creative being.” The artwork will be donated by students, and money raised from the auction will be split between the artists and a yet-to-be-chosen charity. While the location hasn’t been confirmed, the festival will likely take place at UVic’s Vertigo lounge in the Student Union Building. The festival will be open to the public, said Chatur, in the hopes that it will spark some creativity not just at the university but across the Island. “At the end of the day, this is for Victoria as a whole, to fuel the arts all over the city,” he said. “We want everyone to be there.” For more information and updates about the Shoreline Film Festival, visit shorefilm.com.

String of break and enters in Shelbourne corridor hits 14 Homeowner tackles suspect, recovers goods Travis Paterson News Staff

A Saanich resident who returned home to find a burglary in progress chased the male suspect out of the home and tackled him. The intruder in the Jan. 6 break-in dropped most of the homeowner’s

property but fled the scene, said acting Sgt. Jereme Leslie of Saanich Police. The incident was the latest in a series of 14 break and enters along the Shelbourne Street corridor that date back to Nov. 25. “The majority of the break and enters have occurred in the late afternoon hours and into the early evening,” Leslie said. From Jan. 1 to 6 there were six break and enters in the Shelbourne corridor and University Heights area. All were in the later afternoon or early evening and all were through unlocked sliding

glass doors (some with faulty locks) in apartments, condos and single family dwellings. “Most break and enters occur during daytime when residents are at work, but for whatever reason we’ve been able to narrow it down that these are happening in late afternoon,” Leslie said. There is no nexus to connect the crimes as of yet, he added. The Jan. 6 incident took place at about 6:20 p.m. near University Heights. Saanich Police “flooded the area” with officers and a canine unit. However, they

were unable to locate the suspect, who is described as a white male, 30 to 50 years old, shorter than six feet, with average build and having a full beard. Leslie also warned citizens not to take action against an intruder as it can be very dangerous, and instead to call 9-1-1. The public is also advised to try to get the best description of the suspect as possible. Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact the Saanich Police Department at 250-475-4321 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Saanich moves to recognize First Nations Travis Paterson News Staff

Saanich is looking to create a proper recognition of the Wsanec families of the Coast Salish Nation with a plan to acknowledge the first peoples with a ceremonial address at formal gatherings. The recommendation, expected to gain council’s approval Monday, came from firstterm Coun. Fred Haynes, and suggested staff undertake a consultation process with First Nations members of the region with a goal of suitably recognizing their history here. There are at least seven First Nations whose traditional territories are in Saanich including Pauquachin, Tsawout, Tsartlip, Tseycum, Malahat, Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. “Saanich has yet to take the step of formally acknowledging the rich and long history of our first peoples,” Haynes said. “The municipality recently celebrated its 50th anniversary in a manner that should also be reserved to celebrate its aboriginal heritage.” The recommendation calls for a consultation process with those First Nations who have a history of traditional uses of the land and waters of the District of Saanich with the intent of recognizing this heritage in the opening of Saanich meetings. However, Haynes would be happy to see the recognition go further, in the form of a sign, or signage, depicting the history at municipal hall. Kevin Albers is the CEO of M’akola Development Services, which works to find affordable housing for First Nations people in the region. M’akola knows a thing or two about gathering First Nations representatives, as it will ensure representation from all the First Nations which identify with having traditional territories at public gatherings or announcements in Saanich. “I am thrilled to hear Saanich is having this conversation and acknowledging the First Nations in the area,” Albers said. “In our practise it is important to acknowledge, engage and respect each nation whose land we are working on.” Furthermore, Haynes says there is some dispute over an incorrectly documented history of who did what, how, and when, in the area. Following the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report in June, this is a necessary move for Saanich, he added. “One of the issues that I am keen on is that this isn’t a top-down placement of the wording. Rather, we want to work directly with the First Nations in a consultative manner to recognize the rich and deep First Nations’ heritage in Saanich.” THE DISTRICT OF SAANICH

That includes seasonal settlements, harvesting, hunting and gathering and trading sites. “With the need for truth and reconciliation across the country, it’s certainly necessarily for Saanich to recognize the heritage of the people who used the lands where we enjoy our lives today,” Haynes said. reporter@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Medical condition shouldn’t be a barrier to employment Dealing with a life-altering medical condition is something most of us will never have to deal with. We can only hope that we as a society can do whatever we can to lessen the challenges so many are facing. But the attitudes held by many in society can make their situations even more difficult. Saanich’s Tessa Hawkins is an example in point. Hawkins is a talented and highly educated professional, holding a bachelor’s degree from the University of Victoria and a masters from the University of Alberta. She also suffers from epilepsy, and that condition has proven to be a barrier to using her skills to earn a living. Hawkins has the assistance of a full-time working dog. Merlot, her two-year-old flat coat retriever, will bark, seek help or retrieve Hawkins’ phone in case of a seizure. But while Merlot has helped to improve Hawkins’ quality of life, the idea of a service dog has not always gone over well with prospective employers. A friend of Hawkins sat on the panel for one of her job interviews and told her the guide dog was a factor in why she wasn’t chosen for the job. “As soon as I am labelled as ‘disabled’ with my guide dog, my ability to work is called into question regardless of what is on my resume and my successful employment and academic history,” Hawkins wrote to the minister of social development. And Hawkins is not alone. The Saanich News has received letters from others who have faced discrimination as a result of a medical condition and use of a service dog. The new B.C. Guide Dog and Service Dog Act came into effect this year and will upgrade several rules. This legislation will likely eliminate some obstacles for those using a service dog but it won’t ultimately solve the problem faced by Hawkins and others. Those with medical conditions shouldn’t have to initiate legal action to get a job where the working environment has already been negatively affected. Unfortunately, compassion cannot be legislated. It is up to us as a society to see that others are judged on their merits, and not what may or may not be at the other end of a leash. What do you think?

Protesters have dubbed their latest target, the tiny 3.2-hectare cutblock 4424, “Black Diamond Grove” for media and fundraising purposes. Teal-Jones forester Chris Harvey provided me some information to counter protester claims. Block 4424 isn’t being logged, although it was permitted last fall. Protesters are targeting other operations, none of which are in the contentious Walbran “bite” area next to the park. Teal-Jones has not only received permits and worked with environmental organizations, its operations are independently certified by the Canadian Standards Association. A B.C. Supreme Court judge granted an extension of the injunction protecting Teal-Jones’ operations on Jan. 4. The judge wasn’t swayed by protesters packing the Victoria courtroom, and upheld a 50-metre safety zone around working equipment in the Walbran Valley until the end of March. A Wilderness Committee spokesman with no evident forestry qualifications was appalled.

LETTERS Service dog leads to rejection from perspective employers It was with interest that your front page was devoted to the struggle by Tessa Hawkins to find work, suffering from epilepsy and graced with a service dog. I have a progressive rare disease illness, that affects my waist down. I have two degrees. I was a former pilot, and director of sales and marketing for a very well-known hotel in this city. Now, I can’t get a job. Employers are thrilled to get my resume, delighted to talk to

Disabled rights Your Jan. 6 story about Tessa Hawkins and her assistance dog and the discrimination she has faced from prospective employers is a clear illustration of the need for a Canadians with Disabilities Act. What is the difference between the treatment given Ms. Hawkins and the disgusting “Chinese need not apply” signs seen years ago? The discrimination she experienced was at best ignorant and at worst smallminded meanness. The barriers people with disabilities face are many: physical, legal, bureaucratic, communication, technological and, above all, attitudinal. In Canada, we continue to treat inclusion of people with disabilities as a privilege rather than a right. We are one of the few countries which do not have a national Disabilities Rights Act. Canada has no comprehensive legislation protecting the rights of people with disabilities. What we have instead are vague principles and tame enforcement. Although we have the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Canadian Human Rights Act and some

me on the phone, but as soon as I go to be interviewed, with or without my dog, but walking with the assistance of a cane, strangely, there is no job. Polite excuses are made. I am clear that I have this rare illness prior to my interview and that I have a service dog that is with me 24/7 but, when prospective employers see me walk with a cane...they don’t hire. After five years of searching for a job unsuccessfully, and finally getting my

provincial and municipal codes, a Canadians with Disabilities Act would be proactive, forcing governments and private businesses to remove barriers or face sanctions. People with disabilities would have the legal means to go after changes. There are roughly four million Canadians now living with a physical, psychiatric or developmental disability. That number is expected to rise to about nine million by 2030. Disability is found in all ages, genders, nationalities, cultures and religions. Canada should catch up to the rest of the world. Cynthia Tansley Saanich

Work disrupts setting The point of this complaint is moot as the useless destruction to remove a completely innocuous old piece of concrete is already well underway, and by the number of trucks and workers, it is an expensive project indeed. I spoke with someone in Saanich Parks and they informed me that they are removing the concrete at the request of the ‘Friends’ of Mount Doug Society. How sad. While I get that the old

wonderful service dog, I’ve given up searching. One can only take so much rejection. My dog is loved by many. It is as if he knows that it is important for me. He is welcomed everywhere I go, and indeed I have only had two people that questioned him in all the time he has been with me. He opens/closes doors, he fetches things for me, he turns on and off lights, and he braces for me to get up

concrete pad is not ‘natural’ to the park, neither is the monolith rock at the bottom, neither are the benches, the signage, and for that matter, neither is the paved road. That little piece of concrete was not bothering anyone, but I will bet that many will be upset by the destruction required to remove it, and you should be too. I heard from one of the workers that a crane will be brought in and trees removed so it can access the site. And then landscaping will ensue. Landscaping? In a park? Is that natural? I would be interested to know how long the block has been there. You would have done well to celebrate its heritage and leave the natural park setting alone. I walk there every day, and have been a Saanich taxpayer for 28 years. I briefly belonged to the park society but was distressed by the focus on increasing the parking and altering the natural trails – all requiring tree removal. The society needs to hold a meeting at that summit and feel ashamed of the damage and destruction they have instigated for a simple old concrete pad that bothered no one. Deborah Bachand Saanich

You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20 vision and think you have perfect vision. But do you? Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp or clear your vision is at a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focussing ability and colour vision. 20/20 is the average visual clarity obtainable by normal healthy eyes. Since it is an average, it means that there are those that see better or worse than 20/20 and yet still have healthy eyes. 20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharpness measured at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. In the metric system, 6/6 is the equivalent of 20/20. The ability to see objects clearly is affected by many factors. Eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or eye disease influence visual acuity. Most people with vision slightly below 20/20 function very well, whereas some people who have better than 20/20 feel their vision is notwww.oakbayoptometry.com satisfactory.

SAANICH NEWS - Wednesday, January 13, 2016

Weaver takes aim at MSP premiums Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver is calling for the elimination of monthly MSP premiums. The B.C. Green Party leader instead wants to see a progressive system with rates determined by a person’s earnings. Calling it the party’s first pledge in advance of the 2017 provincial election, the Green Party contends rolling MSP premiums into the existing income tax system would lead to net administrative savings. Weaver points out that a person earning $30,000 a year in B.C. is currently paying the same rate for MSP premiums as someone earning $3 million. “Those who can least afford it are left carrying the biggest burden with the way we charge MSP premiums in British Columbia,” said Weaver. “The government could fix this as soon as next month in the provincial budget. So far the only serious action this government has taken is to continue to annually increase this regressive tax.” Currently, MSP premiums are charged to anyone who lives in B.C. for six months or longer and requires them to pay monthly premiums for health care coverage. Those earning less than $30,000 can qualify for premium assistance. MSP premiums for single individuals have more than doubled since 2000, with the rate going from $36 a month to $75 a month today. The rate for a family of three is now $150 a month, up from $142 last year. The Green Party vows to follow the same route taken by Ontario, where premiums go from zero for those with a taxable income of less than $20,000 to $900 a year for those earning more than $200,600. “If you earn $30,000 or more in British Columbia you are paying the same rate for MSP premiums that Ontario charges its highest earners,” said Weaver. “This unfair head tax on low income and middle class British Columbians needs to end.”

A pair of Saanich junior hockey players are playing their first full junior A season as overagers, proving you should never give up until the game is over. At 20 years old and in their final season of junior eligibility, former Saanich Braves Hunter Atchison and Seamus Maguire have finally found a permanent home in junior A with the Cochrane Crunch of the Northern Ontario Junior A Hockey League. Not only are they a key part of the team, they are enjoying surprising offensive breakouts and lead the team, and league, in scoring. Atchison is first in the league with 73 points in 33 games while Maguire is sixth in the league with 53 points in 30 games. “The last time I led my league in scoring was in midget, and I didn’t know what to expect coming to Cochrane,” Atchison said during a visit home for the holidays. “I worked hard this summer

to take my game to the next level and it is paying off.” The two found instant chemistry playing on the same line for the first time in their life when they arrived in Cochrane to start the season. And now both are being scouted for CIS and NCAA level NOJHL photo hockey. Hunter Atchison suits up with As Braves, Team NOJHL in the Eastern Maguire and Canada Cup challenge, a Atchison tournament of Junior A league each played all-star teams in Ontario and centre, Quebec. but since arriving in Cochrane, Maguire has lined up on the right wing with Atchison down the middle. It’s been a huge success for the Crunch, where the duo have helped the team to first place in the NOJHL East division. The team is still growing its fan base after relocating there a year ago. “The huge thing for us was the instant chemistry we had, it changed everything,” Maguire said. “It was clicking right from the start of the season, every bounce we needed.” It was Maguire who connected with the Crunch first when he signed a playing card, sight unseen, in the offseason. Crunch owner/coach/ general manager Ryan Leonard trusted Maguire as a recommendation by the assistant coach of the Flin Flon Bombers, a team Maguire played for in 2013-14 but left partway through last season to rejoin the Braves. Before arriving, Maguire then endorsed Atchison, who had a similar season last year when he returned to the Braves from the Trail Smoke Eaters.

Pair push for scholarships with overage breakout year Continued from Page A10

With the Braves in 2014-15, Atchison had 30 points in 36 games while Maguire had 21 points in 28 games. Certainly they looked

poised to break out, but not necessarily at the junior A level. Maguire said the difference between the BCHL and the NOJHL, which are both known to produce NCAA Div. 1

players, is the depth. “The thing with the BCHL is even a bad team has four good lines, whereas teams here are mostly two [skill] lines,” Maguire said.

Both Maguire and Atchison agreed a handful of teams could certainly compete in the BCHL. Among those are the league’s first overall Soo Thunderbirds and the

Capital Regional District Notice to Electors Within the Capital Regional District Alternative Approval Process for CRD Bylaw 4042 - Authorizing the disposal of a portion of the Sooke Hills Wilderness Regional Park Reserve Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Capital Regional District (“CRD”) proposes to adopt Bylaw No. 4042, “Capital Regional District Disposition of Part of Sooke Hills Wilderness Regional Park Reserve Bylaw No. 1, 2015.” The purpose of Bylaw No. 4042 is to authorize the sale or exchange of a 902m2 (0.09 hectare) parcel in the Sooke Hills Regional Park Reserve, more particularly described as that portion of Lot 21, District Lot 8, Block 453 and Block 352, Malahat District, Plan VIP84067. The intention is to exchange this parcel of land for a similarly sized and nearby parcel owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. This parcel will become dedicated road. This exchange is critical to complete the necessary land transactions to ensure that construction of the Sooke Hills Wilderness Trail is completed in 2017.

Crunch’s East division rivals, the Kirkland Lake Gold Miners, Maguire said. On the ice, the accolades are piling up. The players expect even better scholarship offers pending a strong postseason. And last month Maguire and Atchison represented the NOJHL in the Eastern Canada Cup All Star Challenge, a junior A tournament with all-star teams from the Central Canadian Hockey League, Ontario Junior Hockey League, Quebec Junior Hockey League and Maritime Hockey League. Off the ice, it’s

been a different kind of learning curve. Cochrane is a gateway to Ontario’s hunting and fishing territory, and the people take it serious. As a team, the Crunch went fishing for three days in the pre-season. And when hunting season opened in the fall, the stands were visibly emptier. “They are big on hunting, with moose and bear hunting camps just a few hours away,” said Maguire, who hunted partridge on his billet’s 140-acre property. Surprisingly, Maguire and Atchison aren’t the only locals on the Crunch. Victoria’s

Braeden Pearce also joined the team this year as well as former Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League players Lucas Robinson (Comox Valley Glacier Kings) and Taylor Armbruster (Kerry Park Islanders). Ironically, Pearce was recently traded away for Brandon Workun, a former Victoria Cougar who once faced Atchison and Maguire in the VIJHL. After a few cracks at the Nanaimo Clippers, former Brave Nick Guerra has found a home in the BCHL with the Prince George Spruce Kings.

Take further notice that the CRD may proceed with Bylaw No. 4042 unless at least 28,055 electors within the CRD indicate by signing the elector response forms, that the Board must obtain the assent of the electors by way of referendum before proceeding to adopt Bylaw No. 4042. The elector response form must be in the form as established by the CRD and forms are available from the CRD on request. The only persons entitled to sign elector response forms are electors of the area to which the alternative approval process opportunity applies. The alternative approval process opportunity applies within the regional parks service area, which is comprised of all the municipalities and electoral areas in the Capital Regional District, as follows: Central Saanich, Colwood, Esquimalt, Highlands, Langford, Oak Bay, Metchosin, North Saanich, Saanich, Sidney, Sooke, Victoria, View Royal; and Juan de Fuca, Salt Spring Island and Southern Gulf Islands electoral areas. The deadline for delivering the original signed elector response forms, in relation to Bylaw No. 4042, to the CRD is 4:00 pm on Monday, February 22, 2016. Forms must be received by the deadline to be counted. The CRD has estimated that the total number of electors within the service area is 280,551 and that 10% of that number or 28,055 electors must submit elector response forms to prevent the CRD from enacting Bylaw No. 4042 without the assent of the electors by referendum. Further technical information concerning Bylaw No. 4042 may be obtained from Stephen Henderson, Manager, Real Estate, 625 Fisgard Street, Victoria, 250.360.3136, shenderson@crd.bc.ca, during regular office hours Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays) from the date of this notice until February 22, 2016.

The B.C. government’s quitsmoking assistance program is now available to people who drop by a pharmacy to qualify for free nicotine replacement products. As of Jan. 1, participants no longer have to register by calling 8-1-1 to reach the HealthLinkBC medical advice service. The program has also expanded its offerings to include nicotine inhalers and lozenges as well as gum and patches. Health Minister Terry Lake

said the changes are to make it easier for smokers to quit, or to try again if they have relapsed after using the program before. It supplies 12 weeks’ worth of nicotine replacement products in each calendar year to B.C. residents. To qualify, people must have active Medical Services Plan coverage and be a tobacco smoker or chewer. The program began in 2011 and the province has spent $38 million on it so far. A survey of 3,000 users in 2015

found that about one in four reported quitting smoking for some period, with half of those making it a month or more smoke free. Three quarters of survey participants reported smoking less after using nicotine replacement. The program also covers 12 weeks of prescription drugs Zyban or Champix, with cost depending on coverage under the Pharmacare program.

Funding stream

Saanich Coun. Susan Brice accepts a cheque on behalf of Saanich from Darrell Wick, left, the president of the Friends of the Mount Douglas Park Society, with the society’s treasurer Graham Shorthill. The money came from grants the society acquired this year to fund the revitalization of Mount Douglas Creek as a salmon spawning habitat. Not only have chum and coho salmon been observed but an 18-inch sea run cutthroat trout was recently spotted. The fish made an attempt to jump over the creek’s weir. “That’s just nature happening,” Wick said. “We built the creek weir for salmon.”

Saanich financial report earns kudos Saanich has earned a ninth straight annual award for filing a well prepared financial report. The Government Finance Officers Association has honoured the District of Saanich with the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting for its 2014 financial

statements. Saanich’s financial report met a series of standards, conforming with the with generally accepted accounting principles and provincial requirements. Among the criteria was a “disclosure thoroughness and detail sufficiency,” as well as

responsiveness to prior year comments and suggestions for improvement and reader appeal. The GFOA is a major professional association that recognizes excellence in governmental accounting and financial reporting. reporter@saanichnews.com
