At the opening, Minister of Advanced Education Andrew Wilkinson said the facility will provide more opportunities to train and there would be a big demand for those skills in British Columbia. Wilkinson estimated that there will be over 700,000 retirements in the next decade and skilled trades people will be needed. “We have earmarked funds for programs like this and it leads to prosperity and employment,” said Wilkinson. “We really believe in this place.” See page A7

course, said he eventually wants to work up north. Rowen Heap said he wanted to work at the Mack dealer and eventually get to the mainland. “A job can take you anywhere,” said Paul Osborne. All of the students have been enrolled in the trades programs since September and each knows they have a long way to go, but they are excited about their futures. On Thursday, Feb. 25, the ribbon was cut for the new 7,432-square-metre trades education centre. Ground was broken for the facility in March 2014 and the $30-million project came about with the help of the province,

From the very early 1930s to 1958, students who attended Mount Douglas secondary were written into a register that included their age, address, their fathers’ names and occupations as well as their nationality. For instance, back in 1938, Geoff Vantreight’s father was listed as an Irish farmer and Norman Lambrick’s father was an English dairy farmer. Then there was Gerald Irvine whose father was an electrician and Bruce McMorran whose father had a summer resort. Many of those families are still in the vicinity. Mount Douglas secondary school has a long history in Saanich – 85 years in fact. The school was originally where Cedar Hill middle school is now and its current location since 1970. Name changes and campus moves were necessary as the school filled and more space was required. The Mount Douglas Alumni Association wants to preserve as much history as it can and with that in mind they are holding an 85th anniversary celebration in November and are seeking memorabilia. Many of the original alumni have passed on while many others moved out of the old neighbourhood. “We want to preserve the history of the school,” said Wendy Gedney, president of the Mount Douglas Alumni Association. “No one has done the history of Mount Douglas.” See page A22

A spoonful of sugar comes to Spectrum Jacob Zinn News Staff

It was only a matter of time before the Perfect Nanny flew with her umbrella to Spectrum Community School. Mary Poppins is the high school’s latest production, bringing the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious musical to Spectrum’s theatre. Stagecraft teacher Tim Barss said he was inspired to take on the 1964 Disney film after seeing the Broadway musical on a school trip to New York about seven years ago. “I remember being kind of indifferent about it because I sort of imagined it was kind of kiddish, but it was by far the best professional production I’ve ever seen,” he said. “As soon as I saw it, I knew that we wanted to do it once it was available for other groups to license. In October of 2014, Barss got the message from the company in New York that it would be available sometime in the following year. “It was too late for us to choose for our 2015 show, which was already underway, so we decided that

Chim Chim Cher-ee! The umbrella-toting Mary Poppins is descending from the sky to the stage for a series of performances at Spectrum Community School. Drama and orchestra students are set to perform the musical - based off the 1964 Disney film - at 7:30 p.m. on March 3, 4 and 5, with 2 p.m. matinées on March 5 and 6. very day that our 2016 show would be Mary Poppins.” Based on the 1964 Disney film, the musical shows how an enchanting nanny and her chimney sweep friend Bert can cure the misbehaviour of the oft neglected Banks children, Jane and Michael,

and teach the importance of family to their cranky father George. Despite the film’s release nearly 50 years before some of his students were born, Barss said the drama and orchestra classes were familiar with the musical and

enthusiastic about bringing it to the Spectrum stage. “They all knew it and they were all really excited about it,” he said. “This is a huge show, it’s definitely the biggest overall production that I’ve worked on. “They were rehearsing

three days a week at the beginning, and then we stepped that up to four in the new year. Tons and tons of big group numbers. Lots of singing, lots of harmonies, lots of choreography to learn.” Mary Poppins opened on

Feb. 26, and Spectrum has five more performances scheduled, with 7:30 p.m. shows on March 3, 4 and 5, and 2 p.m. matinées on March 5 and 6. The March 5 matinée will be a special singalong performance, with the lyrics to songs like “Chim Chim Cheree” and “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” projected on a screen so the audience can join in. “I was at a singalong of My Fair Lady in Vancouver and it was a really neat experience,” said Barss. “It was in the back of my mind and I talked to some of the kids and they thought it was a great idea.” Barss said several of the shows have sold out, with the singalong matinée roughly 60 per cent sold. Due to the popular demand, there may not be tickets available at the door. Potential attendees are asked to buy their tickets ahead of time through the school (957 Burnside Rd. W.) or call 250-479-8271 and have tickets set aside to be picked up and paid for at the door. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students. jacob.zinn@saanichnews.com

District a finalist in Earth Hour challenge Pirjo Raits News Staff

The District of Saanich is one of three finalists for the World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Earth Hour City Challenge in Canada with Vancouver and Edmonton. There are 45 finalists from around the world. Earth Hour is on March 18. Saanich was recognized for its commitment to corporate and community greenhouse gas reductions.

Municipal and community initiatives recognized in the challenge include assessing and adapting to climate change impacts, including storms and sea-level rise, and providing sustainability grants to community partners to lead building energy, cycling and local food programs. “Trying to do things on a different scale has been very positive for us,” said Mark Boysen, Saanich’s sustainability manager. Plans for 2016 include reviewing the feasibility of 100 per cent renewable energy in

municipal operations by 2025 and developing a community building retrofit strategy. Saanich will now vie for the title of Canadian Earth Hour National Capital. The winner will be announced in May and the chosen capitals from each country then compete for the title of Earth Hour Global Capital. Saanich’s new compost collection service, energy efficient and low-carbon electric vehicles along with heating and lighting retrofits helped it get the nod.

“Saanich is thrilled to be nominated for this highly-respected award,” said Mayor Richard Atwell. “We do regular reporting in our annual report and during budget deliberations,” Boysen said. “We get evaluated by the programs built up over the years. We are making movement on all fronts.” Boysen said it was recognition for what Saanich is doing over time and new programs have been added gradually. news@saanichnews.com C Lar

Sara Wilson a fourthyear Red Seal graduate with the college’s sheet metal program said she wanted a mental and physical workout every day. She also wants to make money and the opportunities her education will give her for travelling anywhere across Canada. “With a Red Seal, I can find work anywhere in Canada.

OUR VIEW

Practising responsible community journalism Even in a changing economy and evolving news industry the Saanich News has prevailed in its mandate to provide community news while practising responsible journalism. Today’s issue is another example of the important role community newspapers provide. Nowhere else will you find a variety of hyper-local stories that fall within the Saanich borders, such as this week’s Mary Poppins stage production (A5) at Spectrum Community School or a student’s perspective on what’s drawing them to Camosun College (A3 & A7) and its new $30 million Centre for Trades Education and Innovation. Our Feb. 26 issue also brought a great variety of stories, including a series of profiles of Saanich athletes who attended the B.C. Winter Games, up-to-date sewage coverage and in-depth council reporting. Unfortunately one of our stories included a factual error. We immediately corrected the story online. We were encouraged by the number of readers who contacted us to express their concerns to the editorial team. We want to be a part of the community as much as possible, and this means feedback on our successes, and from those who disagree. It shouldn’t mean responding to errors, but we will never avoid the responsibility. Our editorial team is passionate about the community of Saanich and works to inform the readership and residents of Saanich’s key issues, cultural events and values. It is our role to be a place of discussion, for good or for bad, with a belief that journalism is a pillar in the foundation of democracy. We are accountable. When we make a mistake, we will correct it in a manner that matches the seriousness of the error.

ditions such as depression and dementia. The majority suggested even “mature minors” should have this new right. The politicians support allowing doctors to opt out of cases they won’t condone, as long as they provide a referral to another doctor. In Belgium, one of the pioneers of this brave new world, most of the growing number of euthanasia patients have had cancer. But as The New Yorker magazine reported in a ground-breaking article last summer, others have been euthanized because of autism, anorexia, partial paralysis, blindness with deafness, manicdepression and yes, chronic fatigue syndrome. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake expressed the hope that Canada ends up with a consistent policy on doctorassisted suicide, rather than a provincial patchwork. The closest Lake came to politically incorrect criticism was to caution that “deep discussion” is needed around the court’s notion of a “competent minor.” Three dissenting Conservative MPs went so far as to say the recommendations don’t adequately protect seniors who might be coerced into checking out and passing on their estates. How old-fashioned. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Correction

Sewage a runaway train Victoria mayor and Chair of the CRD’s wastewater committee, Lisa Helps has her sights set on “bringing the sewage train into the station,” no matter what the cost. But let’s look at the cost. First, there is the cost to due public process. We were promised an opportunity for full public engagement and input was sought that would allow us – the paying public - to fairly and objectively review the whole sorry mess. Instead what we got was an opportunity to waste our time. The committee has already identified the site (Rock Bay) and since none of the proposed solutions for this site are within CRD’s own budget ceiling of $750 million it has effectively limited even the choice of the “options” to just one, a single plant at Rock Bay. This is simply political theater and not the fair and open public process we were promised. This is a high cost. Second, there is the cost to our municipalities. Since this “train” took off under Ms. Help’s control the affected municipalities have become so fractured and disen-

ronment, but chanted with the even more committee they have alarming is simply abandoned that ongothe process and “Realistic financial ing studies those still remaining analysis done by experienced indicate that are fractured. sediments in Ms. Helps has professionals in the field have the vicinity incorrectly stated of Vancouthat municipalities put the true life-cycle costs of going it alone will the project at over $5 billion. ver outfalls having secautomatically forfeit ondary treatany financial help Paul Scrimger ment have from the CRD.

system will produce 15,516 tonnes of GHGs, with operation of the system producing 7,917 tonnes of GHGs annually. This is a huge, ongoing, and damaging cost to the environment and our credibility. We can’t suck and blow at the same time. Finally, there is the real doozy, the out-of-pocket cost to design, buy the site from Victoria, then build, and operate the proposed plant. The CRD’s “cheapest” plan is over $1 billion – just to get started. Realistically, these are just pie-in-the sky numbers that will just explode as this “train” speeds ahead since there is no actual hard-costed plan in place with this proposal. It is just a financial fantasy. More realistic financial analysis done by experienced professionals in the field have put the true lifecycle costs of the project at over $5 billion. These costs are just too high. It’s time to derail this runaway “train” before it demolishes the entire station. Paul Scrimger Saanich

An error in last Friday’s Saanich News incorrectly stated the MacNutt Enterprises landscaping company in West Saanich was to blame for a noise suppression bylaw amendment that passed a third reading at the Feb. 22 Saanich council session. The accompanying photo to the story on Page A3 is also not related to the council issue of a noise bylaw amendment. The Saanich News regrets the errors. Friday’s issue also included an erroneous awards announcement for well-decorated Camosun College volleyball coach Chris Dahl. A PacWest release incorrectly stated that Dahl, who won the 2014-15 Canadian Collegiate Athletics Association coach of the year award, had won the 201516 PacWest award. The News regrets the error.

EDPA land sells for less, fact Where the EDPA was significant and disclosed, bare land or older homes sold for between 17 and 37 per cent below assessed value. This is a fact. Unfortunately, this only represents four properties. Clouding the facts are home sales that don’t happen. Were the owners asking too much? Or was no one willing to buy EDPA land? Loss of value is nuanced. A newer home with

trivial EDPA won’t be affected. A large property that is mostly EDPA will experience a dramatic reduction. Both sides of this debate want to protect the environment. Those against the EDPA just believe that Saanich’s bureaucratic bungling, at high cost to some owners, is not the best way to do it. Kevin Cuddihy Saanich

Rhythmic all-stars on stage at UVic Two of the best drummers in the world are coming to Victoria. Weedie Braimah and Amadou Kouyate will be joined by Victoria’s own Oliver Swain for a percussion explosion on March 4, Masters of Rhythm, at Philip T. Young Recital Hall at UVic. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m.

While everyone can pound a drum, very few are masters. Weedie Braimah is one such master. Born in Ghana, Braimah began his career at the ripe old age of two. He has spent his life on the long quest for mastery and excellence. Braimah has a musical legacy

on both sides of his family. His African Music Ensemble, with 32 members will play some African music as well. The show will also include Amadou Kouyate, another early musical aficionado. See Swain drums A12

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Facts about “aging” eyesight As we grow older, the lenses in our eyes tend to grow stiffer and less flexible. As this happens, the lens loses some of its ability to focus on near objects. This condition is called presbyopia, and it occurs in all of us – becoming apparent around the age of 40 and progressing as the years go by. Most of us notice this when we find ourselves holding books or newspapers further and further away – the “trombone” effect. Sooner of later this will go from being annoying to being unacceptable. The good news is that presbyopia is correctable. In fact, the optometrist today can supply you with more options to correct this problem than ever before. Among the available options are: Reading glasses: If your distance vision is still good and you only have trouble close up, full or half frame glasses may be the answer. Bifocals and trifocals: If you need glasses for both distance and close-up, the new generation of bifocal www.oakbayoptometry.com glasses can solve your problem.

Outfall areas back in the mix ton. Her city’s taxpayers are roughly 70 per cent on septic and 30 per cent on sewer and many wouldn’t look kindly on being billed for something they weren’t receiving service for. “At least it’s keeping options that are viable on the table (and) what we heard from the public; it’s about cost control on things,” she said of the overall picture. "So if there are cheaper solutions to be had by building closer to outfalls, it makes sense that we’re going to actually see that. I’m hoping that we get real kinds of costings and not these planning estimate costings out of engineering that are sometimes up as high as 90 per cent contingency.” Also Friday the committee voted postponing until March 9 to give a progress update to senior levels of government and finalizing, with CRD board approval, the option to purchase the Rock Bay lands subject to it being selected as the primary site. Passed on the day were the dissolving of the Eastside select committee and the retaining of the Westside select committee for the completion of technical work around wet weather design flows; and a directive to staff relating to procurement and project management.

Show blends rhythm drums with banjo From A11 Kouyate began learning djembe and koutiro drumming at the age of three. The American has dedicated his life to the task of becoming an ambassador of African culture to the world. His repertoire ranges demo traditional songs from the 13th century to contemporary original compositions incorporating blues and jazz riffs. For the last 150 generations, the Kouyate family, from Senegal, has been keeping the knowledge and drumming legacy going. He’ll join Victoria regular Oliver Swain, the quintessential folk and traditional musician of BIg Machine, among other bands. ”Oliver is going to be such an amazing fit,” said Hanson. “Oliver is such a good musician.” The idea to include Swain with the African drummers was because the banjo, which Swain plays, has its roots in Africa. “We thought it would be cool, a banjo playing ancient African and Appalachian music. He’s jammed and we’re thrilled.” Tickets for the Master of Rhythm are available at Lyle’s Place (770 Yates St.) or on-line at www.drumvictoria.com news@saanichnews.com

Anyone hoping to see Rock Bay win the day and be named the site for a main sewage treatment plant for Greater Victoria’s core municipalities would have been left wanting on Friday. The Capital Regional District’s (CRD) core area liquid waste management committee did, however, approve a recommendation that may offer flexibility in siting and technology options. The decision included a revisiting as part of the project, McLoughlin, Macaulay and Clover points, three locations not previously being considered. With no agreement on the best option and the $1 billionplus cost of each of the options offered to the public a major stumbling block, the committee agreed to split up the six parts of a staff recommendation rewritten by Victoria mayor and committee chair Lisa Helps. The recommendation was heavily amended during discussions at the nearly five-hour meeting. The two parts relating to location, and the application of alternate technologies and solutions for chosen sites, were referred to CRD engineering staff. They will investigate the feasibility of the new options and provide

SAANICH NEWS NEWS -- Wednesday, Wednesday, March March 2, 2, 2016 2016 SAANICH

A flock of Canada geese take off at sunrise. The local population of the bird is threatening crops in Saanich and council will look at permitting a hunt.

Saanich aims bylaw at non-migratory geese Increased hunt sought to eliminate problem birds Pirjo Raits News Staff

A year ago Saanich Coun. Fred Haynes toured six farms that grow local fruit, grains, vegetables and greens and produce milk, eggs and meats. The resounding concern among the farmers was the unsustainable predation of their crops by the ever-increasing populations of Canada geese. It’s making it increasingly difficult to earn a living for local farmers, he said. Haynes is now looking to make life and economic certainty a little easier for Saanich farmers. To this end he has prepared a report to Saanich council recommending an amendment to Bylaw No. 8092 to permit hunting during hunting season on the same farm lands with the same nominees previously permitted firearm licence by the Saanich police for the purpose of reducing the population of non-migratory geese. Haynes said the problem with geese is they eat and damage the crops and when they defecate, the crops can’t be harvested. “If we want local food, and we say we do, farmers on the peninsula need our clear and firm support on taking actions to resolve the unsustainable predation of their crops,” said Haynes in an informal report to council. Haynes said the current farmers may be the last generation to farm the land and provide

Vancouver Island with food. To attract new farmers, there needs to be a viable economic package. Land is expensive and with the damage done to crops by geese, deer and rabbits, it does not make farming a good business prospect. “The problem right now is there are 6,000 non-migratory geese and by extension there could be 60,000 in 20 years,” said Haynes. In a letter to Saanich council, Mike Hicks, Regional Director for the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area, said, “The most practical, humane and cost-effective method of maintaining or reducing the overall population is to allow limited and restricted hunting of geese.” “I have to applaud Mike Hicks for bringing this forward,” said Haynes. Hicks’ suggestion, endorsed by Haynes, states that the cur-

rent Crop Damage Permits allow for the hunting of between five and 10 birds per week. Hunters are not allowed to use blinds or decoys and they cannot eat the geese. Hicks would like to see hunters permitted to “keep and eat these beautiful birds.” The Capital Regional District (CRD) passed a motion on Jan. 13, requesting that the rural municipalities change their firearms bylaw to allow hunting to take place on farms that have obtained a Crop Damage Permit from the federal government’s Canadian Wildlife Service. In practical terms, farmers and their nominees would be allowed, in addition to their total of five geese per week, to hunt during these seasons with blinds and decoys to take 10 geese per day per hunter. “If we want local food we have to look after things, we need to help the next generation of farmers,” said Haynes. Haynes said local grocery stores are seeking locally grown foods and if farmers cannot deliver because of crop damage, then that opportunity for economic viability suffers. It is also about the creation of sustainable jobs in targeted sectors – agriculture being one of those jobs. “This increases the focus and we need to have the ability to stand up and deal with the problem,” said Haynes. “I anticipate it will pass through council with a majority vote,” stated Haynes. news@saanichnews.com

Alumni, memorabilia sought for Mt. Doug Continued from A3

Pirjo Raits/News Staff

Joann Clar and Wendy Gedney look over a set of Mount Douglas secondary school class photos from the 1930s.

One of the items they are seeking is school annuals for the years 1966 and 1979. They have all of the others except these two. It wasn’t until 20 years after the school started that they even printed annuals, and the association would love to have a complete set. Gedney said many people are downsizing and perhaps don’t know what to do with those old high school memories. The alumni association would love to have whatever memorabilia people may want to donate. Memorabilia could include old newspaper articles, newsletters, photos, trophies, jerseys or jackets. “If you are downsizing, don’t chuck it, we would be glad to have it,” said Gedney, whose father was a Vantreight. The 85th anniversary celebration plans are underway and the association would love to have everyone who went to, sent their kids to, was connected to, or taught at Mount Douglas to attend the Nov. 4 and 5 event. One of the interesting aspects is the list of former alumni, which includes people such as David Foster, Nelly Furtado, Steve Nash and other assorted film directors and millionaires. While all may not have graduated from Mount Douglas, they did attend. Folks

A treasure of the archives is the school’s register from the 1930s to 1958. It included the names and occupations of the students’ fathers. Pirjo Raits/News Staff

who attended any of the feeder schools like Cedar Hill, Arbutus and Gordon Head are all welcome. It’s a generous definition, said Gedney. “The whole community is invited.” Gedney’s passion is evident when she shows off the archives, and for her, it is reconnecting to a earlier time that is important. “I had a lot of fun, I enjoyed school, even though I wasn’t an academic star. I feel we need to carry on and continue to celebrate with these people,” said Gedney. Joann Clar, director of the association and co-chair of the 85th Anniversary Committee said, “I like the history of the school and the area. We want to tie in the then and the now. It’s a lot about giving back. It is so interesting to have people back and to reconnect.”

Gedney said this weekend celebration will be mainly a “friendraiser”. “We are a non-profit and raise money for the student bursaries, these events will have either a nominal charge or by donation for entrance.” Other committee members include: Doug and Sandi Bertram, co-chair Kirsten Mawle, Ross Morgan, Christine Thate, Diane Frampton and Kathy Thomson. There is a Facebook page set up: Mount Doug 85th Anniversary. Interested folks can sign up for the newsletter on the Facebook page. If anyone wants to donate memorabilia they can call Wendy Gedney at 250-477-1213 or email wgedney@telus.net. “Things are shaping up – it’s exciting,” said Gedney. news@saanichnews.com

“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.” - Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion. By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with significant changes to the Project.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project: • • • • • • •

A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements. A commitment to offset any greenhouse gas emissions resulting from construction. An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126. An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings. Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers including the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla. Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three BC Class A parks. Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

New pet service store opening in Cadboro Bay Jacob Zinn News Staff

There’s a new pet store on the block in Cadboro Bay, and it goes the next step. Paw Space – a pet boutique, spa and daycare – is the newest addition to Cadboro Bay’s business centre. The store has a focus on Canadian-made holistic products and offers organic and natural foods and treats, supplements, custom beds and eco-friendly products. The store was set to have its grand opening on March 1 (after the Saanich News press deadline) to showcase its services. “It’s nice to combine retail with services because you cover all

the needs in one neighbourhood,” said Leanne Allen, community coordinator with the Cadboro Bay Business Improvement Association. “You can drop your dog off to be groomed while you do some other errands – get your groceries, grab a coffee – without leaving the same block.” Allen said Paw Space offers top brands of healthy grain-free dog and cat food, as well as raw, frozen and freezedried food. The store also carries some toys, dishes and cat litter boxes made from recy-

cled material. Allen said the healthy focus of the new store will fit right in with the healthy lifestyles of Cadboro Bay residents. “Cadboro Bay and Gyro Park,

it’s sort of a destination for people to go out walking every day or go kayaking or sailing,” she said. “It is definitely an area where people are looking to support local independent businesses, get out-

doors, looking after themselves, and I think that area really offers everything they need to do that.” For more information, visit pawspace.ca. jacob.zinn@saanichnews.com

While much of the country is busy shovelling snow at this time of year, Greater Victoria residents often boast about their region's mild climate. Hoping to use some of that good-natured ribbing to their advantage, Tourism Victoria, the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, Butchart Gardens and Gardens British Columbia have banded together to promote tourism in the region, while highlighting some beautiful blooms. With just over 17 billion counted in 2015, the annual Flower Count encourages residents to get outside and

Grade 5 students Colton Trotter and Dylan Pugh, of Ecole John Stubbs, stop to examine a flowering witch hazel plant in Royal Roads University’s Italian Garden. The 41st annual Flower Count runs from March 3 to 9.

Colton Trotter, 10, said last year's effort "beat the old class record," and that's something the students plan to do again this year. It'll be no small feat. Dylan Pugh, 10, pointed out that last year alone they counted 3.1 million blooms. When asked what he was looking forward to this year, he said, "winning, hopefully." The flower rivalry mirrors history, according to Brian White, director of Royal Roads University's School of Tourism and Hospitality. Laura Dunsmuir, who resided in RRU's Hatley Castle, and Jennie Butchart, who founded Online at VIIC.ca the now world-famous Protecting you while you protect our community. Call 310-VIIC Butchart Gardens, also had a friendly rivalry in establishing their own gardens, White said. Butchart Gardens public relations specialist Scott McDonald added, "They even hired the same Japanese garden architect … It was the thing to do Complete Cod Dinners at the turn of the cenOnly tury." He noted Victoria was the first area in North America to have authentic Japanese garCoupon good for lunch and supper. Expires end of March 2016. dens. Prices do not include tax.

That competition is also driving John Stubbs students to take their flower counting to the next level. Grade 5 teacher Matthew Barker and his class offered their own challenge to their counterparts in the region. But students are also focused on beating their own personal goals.

She credits Ecole John Stubbs for taking an interest in the project and putting Colwood on the map for flower counting, largely helping it claim those first two titles. "I call them my secret weapon," Hamilton said, laughing. While the students are no secret anymore, she's still optimistic and offered a friendly challenge to all the region's mayors, especially

helps promote the region during a season not typically known as a busy tourist time. "It just gets everybody involved … It adds to tourism, it helps the economy and it adds to business," said Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce board chair Al Hasham. Paul Nursey, Tourism Victoria CEO, called "flower garden tourism" a major sector that draws international and domestic tourists. The image of cherry blossoms covering streets – "Victoria snow," as he called it – "gives a great story to share … (And) we get to share this all over the world." In its 41st year, the Flower Count runs March 3 to 9, with the award for Bloomingest Community going to the municipality that counts the most blooms. It's a title the City of Colwood has claimed the past two years and the City is looking for a three-peat, said Mayor Carol Hamilton. "We all benefit (from) the
