Lambrick students a step ahead with TASK District program puts kids on fast track for trades Jacob Zinn News Staff
While the B.C. government encourages students to pursue careers in trades through recent post-secondary investments, a local program by the Greater Victoria school district is helping high schoolers transition to university-level trades programs. TASK – which stands for Trades Awareness, Skills and Knowledge – serves high school students in five school districts on Vancouver Island and Salt Spring Island, introducing them to carpentry, electrical, sheet metal, welding and plumbing. Currently in its fifth year, the semester-long program runs out of Lambrick Park secondary and is open to students from other high schools on the Island. “It’s basically designed for a student that loves to work with their hands and their head and has a general interest in going into the construction sector, but they don’t really know what trade they want to go into,” said Nicola Priestley, careers and transitions coordinator with the GVSD. According to Priestley, TASK was started to lead students into tuition-free dual credit ACE IT programs, which allow students to complete their first year of trades technical training before they graduate high school. “Within 13 different trades, we have these opportunities for our students to go to Camosun [College] and take the first year of these different trades while they’re still in high school,” she said. Madelyn Batters took the TASK program in 2014 while she was still attending Mount Douglas secondary. Naturally inclined toward mechanics, Batters had taken all the available
shop classes and joined TASK on the recommendation of her principal. “I was kind of set in one trade path and I hadn’t really been immersed in any other trades,” she said. “I didn’t get to do any handson experience until the TASK program, and it kind of showed me a few other avenues that I could take.” Batters ended up liking electrical work more than mechanics, pursuing the field in her 236hour work experience with a local electrical company. She also switched from Mount Doug to Lambrick to finish her senior year. “I was still really interested in mechanics and I was like, what trade can I take that is in this course that’s going to help me with mechanics?” she recalled. “I thought electrical because there are a lot of electrical components to vehicles. “I got to work with a lot of experienced journeymen. They had lots of little tips and tricks and they got to see how I worked. They bought me a toolkit at the end of my term and they told me I could come back.” Though she has a standing job offer, Batters first has to complete her post-secondary education. She’s already set to start Camosun’s electrical foundation program in the spring – excellent timing, as the college is opening its $30 million Centre for Trades Education and Innovation early this year, partly funded by the province. She doesn’t have her future entirely mapped out, but Batters has set a the goal of getting her Red Seal within five years, and she’s eager to see where the electrical trade takes her. “That’s the cool thing about electrical and most trades – you can pretty much move all over Canada and get a job,” she said.

CRD reopens sewage discussion with public Travis Paterson News Staff
The Capital Regional District’s sewage committee is going back to the public for input, but some directors say the regional sewage options to be put forward are lacking. The Core Area Liquid Waste Management Committee voted last week to bring a number of wastewater treatment options forward for public feedback. Saanich Coun. Colin Plant voted in favour but believes there’s a cheaper, better-for-the-environment option still to be explored, such as the newly proposed concept by John Knappett for an $180 million underground treatment facility at Clover Point. “Whether or not that is a completely distributed system, or a deep shaft system, we need to fully examine that and make those options available to the public,” Plant said. As it stands, a series of high-level concepts will be released by the core area committee’s engineering consultants.
The belief is the public input will help drive the committee in the right direction. The provincially mandated sewage treatment system has been at a standstill for years, with one of the latest estimates at $1.3 billion. Saanich Coun. Vic Derman spoke against going to the public with this amount of information, and noted the public found a “dearth of information” last time CRD opened the sewage plans to feedback. “We don’t have solid information here,” Derman said. “We have five (options) or whatever it’s morphing to, mostly centred around Rock Bay. We already know there are other options.” At the heart of the situation is a failure to reconcile between what some people believe versus what others are telling them, Plant said. “For me saving money while meeting government requirements is the goal,” Plant added. “$1.3 billion is going to eliminate a lot of opportunity to talk about other things in the region such as rapid transit, housing the homeless, or

a regional arts facility that I personally believe is needed, there’ll be no money left.” Last Wednesday Saanich-based construction magnate John Knappett presented a proposal to the core area wastewater management committee that would use deep shaft technology to install a treatment facility below ground at Clover Point for about $170 million. (See Deep Shaft story on A13.) Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell supports the Knappett proposal and believes it should be reconsidered going forward. “The Clover Point model would have two additional ocean front sites added in Esquimalt and Colwood for an estimate of about $470 million,” Atwell said. The proposal has not been accepted at this point though the CRD oversight panel was asked to provide a response on the viability of deep shaft technology. See “We’re not at the end” A11

The B.C. government’s 14-year legal battle with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation over staffing levels will go one last round at the Supreme Court of Canada. The top court announced Thursday it will hear the union’s appeal of last year’s decision by the B.C. Court of Appeal that the province didn’t violate bargaining rights with its 2002 legislation setting class size and special needs support. Education Minister Mike Bernier said the longrunning dispute won’t disrupt efforts to continue cooperation with teachers, and the latest five-year negotiated settlement shows “government’s relationship with the BCTF has never been better.” The agreement came in 2014, after a long, bitter strike that saw the government send out $40a-day child care payments to 230,000 families for 13 school days lost due to strike action in the fall. BCTF president Jim Iker said the latest appeal offers a chance to restore the 2002 class size limits and specialty teacher ratios, but the union won’t wait for another court proceeding to press its demands. “A month from now, the B.C. Liberal government will deliver its 2016 budget,” Iker said. “Enrolment is starting to increase after years of decline and we know that there are more students with special needs, refugee students and others with unique needs entering the system.” Bernier declined to comment on the details of the case, with another court action on the horizon. “B.C. students rank first amongst all Englishspeaking countries in reading, science and math in international testing,” Bernier said. “We will keep working with the BCTF so students benefit from making our great education system even better.”

OUR VIEW
Sewage deadline a collective drain There’s a looming deadline so large, it’s about to make the Johnson Street bridge budget look almost trivial. The good news is the March 31 target for a core area wastewater treatment plan seems to be finally hurrying things along. The bad news: it’s unreasonable to think at this point, so many years into the saga, that the collective councillors and mayors will sign off an a comprehensive solution necessary to get the promised publicprivate partnership fund for $83 million. It’s one of three federal funded grants to move the project along. And yet the dialogue coming from CRD directors is not particularly comforting, to say the least. Some are trumpeting new ideas such as John Knappett’s deep shaft suggestion which, while yet unexplored, is cheaper and logical. Some are hitching their wagons to convoluted $1.3 billion and $1 billion plans. Some residents still believe the wastewater should be sent to sea untreated, as is. Others have fallen back to plans of the past. Last month, former CRD chair Nils Jensen (mayor of Oak Bay) stated his plans to officially re-open McLoughlin Point as an option for wastewater treatment. Core area wastewater chair Lisa Helps (mayor of Victoria) immediately spoke out against it. Wait a minute, haven’t we read this story before? Esquimalt rejected the site for sewage treatment in the spring of 2014, saying officials failed to deliver requested information including details on First Nations consultation, meeting minutes and an independent tsunami report for McLoughlin Point. One has to wonder, what is it going to take for something to gain support at a CRD meeting? Time is running out and things should be happening with a unified super intensity that doesn’t seem to be there. All the jokes about flushing money down the toilet are just painful now. Perhaps an extension is in the works for the $83 million, but this has to be the team that maps the final solution. What do you think?

Thank You VICTORIA
We’re growing because of your trust.
Land assessment exceeds average I dread this time of the year, for the bad news is we have just received our notice and our property assessment has increased by over 13 per cent. The average increase in Saanich is 5.6 per cent, yet for the second year in a row our assessment is way above the average – last year our assessment went up over 14 per cent. I know many of us – those who have the energy and stamina – will be going before the Property Assessment Review Panel and thence the Property Assessment Appeal Board to try to get their assessments reduced. I did it last year. This year I am not sure I will be up to it. It seems like every year the process consumes a lot of energy and effort by both home owners and agencies involved. I wonder how many appeals are handled every year and the related costs involved. Is there another way for our local governments to raise taxes? Peter Wing Saanich

New Year brings new hope for mayor A recent headline in Victoria’s daily paper was entitled “A Brutal Learning Curve.” Mayor Richard Atwell had a brutal learning curve because he had a brutal reception. A staff and council entrenched in an old regime were clearly not as receptive to change as the voters were. They wanted him gone as soon as possible without a chance to prove his worth. The spyware scandal and the investigation into it was confirmation of that. It was a deliberate and devious plot; and it was only one of many ploys used in an attempt to ruin the new mayor. Astoundingly, no one has yet been held accountable for it. Through all of it though, Atwell soldiers on. We have a mayor who wants the people to have a voice in an open government. It’s time for council and staff to collaborate. May the New Year bring new hope that it comes to pass. Dave Ferguson Saanich
Climate health is what really “lurks” in Walbran According to Tom Fletcher, “an employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently coordinating media and protesters” regarding logging in the Walbran Valley (Avatar Sequel Bombs in Walbran, Jan 12). He’s referring to me. Far from lurking, I’m proud to be campaigning with Sierra Club B.C. to save some of the last significant stands of unprotected oldgrowth on Vancouver Island. (And, to correct but one of the many misleading or false claims in Fletcher’s piece, Sierra Club B.C. is entirely independent.) Fletcher’s diatribe reveals him as Teal Jones’ willing stenographer, uncritically regurgitating the logging company’s talking points. Fletcher and Teal Jones may believe it is morally and ecologically acceptable to cut down these magnificent trees and destroy complex, delicate ecosystems. Sierra Club B.C. doesn’t, and nor do the majority of British Columbians, who support concerted action to defend endangered old-growth trees, wildlife, a stable climate, clean water and clean air. British Columbians know that these things form the life-support system of our planet and support long-term prosperity and a diverse economy, including sustainable second-growth forestry for future generations. A growing list of independent reports from B.C.’s Auditor General, the Forest Practices Board and even a Liberal MLA highlight the need for urgent action to save our forests. It’s long past time for the provincial government to reverse the damage done when it gutted the rules governing logging. Fourteen years of trusting corporate interests to manage our forests with little or no oversight has got to stop.

There are also no built examples where a community of this size “entrusts its entire flow” to the technology, she said. “There is no guarantee that would work and it would need to be piloted,” Coady said. “It would have to be thoroughly vetted if it was to be the main plant option because there is no precedent … It would be more appropriate for one of the smaller plants.”
The TOP voiced support for the technology but not on the sites in their application, and suggested it return during the bid process. CRD director Richard Atwell, Saanich mayor, made the successful bid to have each member of the oversight panel provide an overview of the deep shaft proposal. “I think there’s a lot that needs to be written down,” he said.

Genetic technique gets results against cancer Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government is investing an extra $3 million to expand a program that tailors cancer treatment to the genetic makeup of individual patients. The B.C. Cancer Agency is ramping up its Personalized Onco-Genomics (POG) project after seeing encouraging results, including reversal of some cancers thought to be all but untreatable. Researchers cautioned that the technique isn’t a cure for cancer, but it has been effective in identifying drugs that can reduce a life-threatening condition to a manageable illness. The technique chronic Dr. Janessa Laskin, is “the future of the cancer specialist in charge of the POG prooncology,” and gram, said three quarthe goal is to ters of the oncologists B.C. are now particikeep expanding it in pating in the program, until every cancer selecting and referring patients from all over the patient can be province. The technique assessed. is “the future of oncology,” and the goal is to - Dr. Janessa Laskin keep expanding it until every cancer patient can be assessed, Laskin said. Premier Christy Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake announced the additional funds at the B.C. Cancer Agency in Vancouver Tuesday. Clark said the intent is to increase funding further in the coming years for a program that is attracting international interest and financial support. The agency highlighted patients helped by the technique. A 41-year-old non-smoker, Jennifer Strack described her shock at being diagnosed with aggressive lung cancer 18 months ago. Strack underwent five rounds of conventional chemotherapy with little effect, as tumours grew in her lungs and spread to her liver. The POG program identified one drug that was not effective, but Strack began taking another one that halted the growth and reduced the tumours. Laskin said the genetic testing identifies drug that would otherwise never be considered. Zuri Scrivens was treated at age 33 for breast cancer, and when it reappeared two years later
she was enrolled in the POG program. Her cancer went into remission after a diabetes drug was used in combination with a breast cancer drug. Since clinical trials began in 2012, more than 350 patients with 50 different types of cancer have had their genetic material studied in the program. With private donations through the B.C. Cancer Foundation, the new government funds and international grant support, the target for POG is to enrol 2,000 patients in the next five years. For more information on the program, visit its website at bccancerfoundation.com/POG.

denning. The arrival of CAO Paul Thorklesson is also intriguing for Atwell, who looks to form a working relationship with the former Nanaimo CAO. Thorklesson’s hiring was a unanimous decision by council. One thing Atwell is still waiting for is the hiring of a freedom of information and privacy officer, one of the chief recommendations in privacy commissioner Elizabeth Denham’s April report that reviewed the illegality of Saanich staff installing spyware on Atwell’s and other computers. “The public and council have not been given an update on the responses to Denham’s recommendations as of yet,� Atwell said. “That will be for the CAO to bring along.� reporter@saanichnews.com

Friends plan playground as legacy Pacifica Housing resident touched lives of friends, children Kendra Wong Black Press
To many children, Bonnie Clark may have seemed like Santa Claus. The Saanich resident would give out gifts to the children in the Pacifica Housing complex where she lived for roughly a decade – and any other children she knew – for their birthdays or Christmas. Though she didn’t have a lot of money, she would go to a dollar store and purchase books, jewelry boxes or knick knacks with inspirational sayings. Each wrapped present was marked indicating whether it was for a boy or girl. “All the kids in her complex that she lived in, she always made sure they got one,” said Langford resident Pat Kennedy. He was a longtime friend of Clark, who passed away in September, four months shy of her 51st birthday. To honour her legacy, Kennedy and some of Clark’s other friends raised more than $2,000 toward the construction of a new $10,000 playground and memorial bench in the housing complex. The current playground is 25 years old. The playground being planed for
the Pacifica Housing complex on Irma Street and directly affects children in Saanich. “We really share a lot of the values that Bonnie has in terms of caring for children. We’re also incredibly inspired by the kindness that she touched people’s lives with,” said Sacha Sauvé, manager of fund development with Pacifica Housing, who will be installing the playground. “It’s not every day that you lose someone and people come to your door and want to put a bench in their name. It was such a touching and inspiring gesture and we wanted to carry that.” Kennedy recalled Clark as a “great person” who loved kids. “She’d do anything for everybody and she’d go out of her way to help anybody.” The two met 35 years ago, when Kennedy and a friend were walking down the street and came across Clark and a friend. “We were thinking about going to a bluegrass festival, so we invited them to come with us,” he said, laughing. “We’ve been good friends ever since.” The random act sparked a long friendship and over the years, they would get together for birthdays, Christmas and Thanksgiving, when

Bonnie would show up – presents in hand. They also attended bluegrass festivals and concerts together. Kennedy was there for the rough times in Clark’s life as well. When she was 25, she was involved in a physical altercation with her then-boyfriend Ernest Dixon in their home in Sechelt. She wound up breaking her neck and was rendered quadriplegic. Dixon was acquitted on the charge of aggravated assault and convicted of common assault. Being in a wheelchair never slowed Clark down, recalled Kennedy. She worked as an advocate for people who were newly paralyzed or victims of assault and helped victim services with counselling for years. Pacifica Housing intends to consult with Clark’s friends and residents of the housing complex to see what they would like to see in a playground. It hopes to have the project complete by the end of the summer. To make a donation to the legacy project, visit pacificahousing.ca/ donate-today. editor@saanichnews.com

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. 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. Qualifications for Resident and Non-Resident Property Electors Resident Elector: You are entitled to submit an elector response form as a Resident Elector if you are 18 years or older on the date of submission of the elector response form, are a Canadian citizen, have resided in British Columbia for 6 months and in the Capital Regional District for at least 30 days prior to signing the elector response form. Non-Resident Property Elector: You may submit an elector response form as a Non-Resident Property Elector if you are 18 years or older on the date of submission of the elector response form, are a Canadian citizen, have resided in British Columbia for 6 months, have owned and held registered title to property in the Capital Regional District for 30 days and do NOT qualify as a Resident Elector. If there is more than one registered owner of the property (either as joint tenants or tenants in common) only one individual may, with the written consent of the majority, submit an elector response form. To obtain an elector response form, or for questions about the elector approval process, please contact CRD Legislative and Information Services, PO Box 1000, 625 Fisgard Street, 5th Floor, Victoria, BC V8W 2S6 or by telephone at 250.360.3642 from 8:30 am-4:30 pm, Monday to Friday.

Coding to start in Kindergarten Parents in B.C. schools will soon have the option of introducing their kids to computer programming as early as Kindergarten to grade three. Premier Christy Clark told a technology conference in Vancouver Monday an introduction to coding option will be available in some schools starting next September. It is expected to be available across the province within three years, and Clark said her goal is to make it mandatory for all students entering school. Post-secondary technology programs already include co-op job placements for 80 per cent of students, but any new programs will have to be 100 per cent co-op, Clark said. The province and federal governments also announced new funding to technology employers to help current and future workers upgrade their skills. Grants cover two thirds of training cost up to $10,000 per employee, and applications can be made at www.workbc.ca/canadabcjobgrant
Inmates get trades training A pilot program in Kamloops has graduated six provincial prison inmates, qualifying them to work as construction labourers when they are released. Students learn skills such as operating and maintaining small tools, scaffolding, reading blueprints, surveying, operating a mini-excavator and traffic control. They also receive level one first aid and construction safety training certification during a six-week course. The program is offered by Thompson Rivers University for inmates at Kamloops Regional Correctional Cen-

Premier Christy Clark announces new programs at the province’s inaugural technology summit in Vancouver Jan. 18. tre. Inmates built a concrete foundation pad with drainage and roof that will house a portable sawmill. The level one apprenticeship credential and 4,000 work hours in a trade make them eligible for level two, when students can enrol in a Red Seal trade program such as carpentry or plumbing.
Surge in urban housing Housing starts in B.C.'s urban municipalities of more than 10,000 people ended 2015 with a jump of 26 per cent in December, according to the latest Statistics Canada figures. B.C.'s increase was mostly in multi-family developments. Single detached housing starts were up only 3.5 per cent. B.C.'s housing surge went against the national trend, with housing starts down in seven provinces. Only B.C., Quebec and Manitoba saw growth in December, compared to a year earlier. Housing starts dropped 39 per cent in Ontario and 41 per cent in Alberta, where the oil price slump has hit hard.
