Onni unveils big plans for Wyndansea New neighbourhood at former golf course site

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

An international group of companies is proposing a massive housing and tourism development on the outskirts of Ucluelet. The Onni Group hopes to build a new neighbourhood on a 360-acre parcel of land that was once slated to become an 18-hole golf course and oceanfront resort. The group purchased the bankrupt Wyndansea golf course development in 2015 and plans to create 450 single-family residences, 600 units of multi-family residential, including triplexes and six-plexes, and 400 units of tourism and commercial accommodations. The company says 37 per cent of the property will be maintained as parks and open green space. Residents had a chance to review the company’s plan during a June 19 open house event at the Ucluelet Community Centre where informational signs served as a ‘self-guided tour’ of the company’s intentions. Participants were encouraged to put sticky notes on each sign expressing their concerns and ideas. Onni’s signage explained the company plans to move away from the golf course idea and, instead, pursue a “more complete neighbourhood.”

The West Coast is throwing its support around the families of three Tla-o-qui-aht fishermen. Marcel Martin, Carl Michael and Terrance Brown Jr. have been missing since their vessel capsized off Tofino on June 15. “Countless hours have been spent searching and supporting the search efforts since the incident occurred,” read a statement released by the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation early Monday evening.

“The efforts have been oriented around ensuring extensive coverage of the entire Clayoquot Sound area on land, water and by air, with many areas being covered multiple times a day.” Five people were in the vessel when it sank near Duffin Point around 3 a.m.. Two made it safely to shore. Police located the vessel on June 19. “The Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation anticipate the RCMP will complete a full investigation of the incident that will hopefully be able to answer many of the remaining questions,” the Nation said through the statement.

Grieving families grateful for support From A1

We are partnering with the District of Ucluelet in a water conservation program.

Low-flow, high-efficiency toilets are available at COST to residents of Ucluelet. We have a limited quantity, so please order early! Main Store Hours: 9AM–8PM

Gas Bar Hours: 5AM–10PM

Initial search efforts included local First Nations, Tofino RCMP, Canadian Coast Guard and the Canadian Armed Forces, but Victoria’s Joint Rescue Coordination Centre scaled back its search efforts on June 16 and handed the investigation over to the RCMP as a missing persons case. “At that point, Search and Rescue efforts continued, primarily by Tla-o-qui-aht, Ahousaht and Hesquiaht First Nations members,” the Nation’s statement reads. “Local tour and transportation operators have and will continue to keep an eye out for any signs of the missing men as they continue their business as usual operations.” Anyone wanting to join the search effort is encouraged to contact Elmer Frank at elmer. frank@telus.net or 250-726-8281. “The families and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation have received fantastic support by means of volunteers, financial donations and in-kind donations throughout the search efforts,” the release states. “We would like to thank all the individuals involved in this effort, as well as the District of Tofino and the many local businesses and organizations.” A GoFundMe page was launched by Carla Moss last week to support the families of the missing men.

“Their children are not only missing the love and guidance of their Dads, but their main providers as well.” – Carla Moss

“Their children are not only missing the love and guidance of their Dads, but their main providers as well. Marcel Martin is father to three children with his wife Ivy Martin, Carl Michael has one child being cared for by his mother, and Terrence Brown Jr has one child with spouse Selina Howard,” the page states. “We invite you to walk with us in providing for these families to create space in which the children’s needs can come first, both materially and emotionally. Many grief counsellors recommend those experiencing profound grief to postpone major decisions for one year. We hope to provide that security to allow the focus to be on healing and reduce some of the stress during this adjustment period.” The page says all funds will go towards the men’s children and will be divided equally between the three families. It had raised $24,765 of its $90,000 goal by 7 a.m. Tuesday morning. Donations to the families can also be dropped off at any CIBC bank branch.

Construction mistake sends fallen tree onto Hwy. 4 traffic

Rocky start for $38M project ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Construction work along Hwy. 4 was immediately halted on June 21 after a fallen tree crashed onto the highway and collided with vehicles around noon. A spokesperson for B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure confirmed the accident was caused by the tree-clearing work being done at Kennedy Hill as part of a roughly $38 million project, to improve the safety of a curvy 1.6-kilometre stretch of highway. “The incident today on Highway 4 was extremely unfortunate and we are relieved no one was injured. The ministry would like to thank travellers for their patience while crews confirmed everyone’s safety and then worked to remove the tree and reopen the highway,” the spokesperson said. “Construction activities are suspended while the ministry investigates the incident with the construction contractor. Once we have more answers, an action plan will be developed to ensure no further incidents.” West Coast resident Lance Desilets was heading over the highway when the incident occurred and said he was roughly 15 metres from where the tree came down. “I actually heard the trees coming down before I saw them,” he said. “I had my window down and I could

“It was terrifying.” – Lance Desilets

hear crashing over-top of me and then, all of a sudden, there was tree rolling down the hill and landed half on a lady’s car in front of me and a camper in front of her.”

He added he wasn’t sure if it was one tree that came down and broke into pieces as it crashed onto the road, or multiple trees. “The two cars in front of me got hit…It hit two different vehicles and the two different vehicles were spaced apart quite a ways. It happened so fast it was really hard to tell exactly if it was

just one tree that broke off or if it was two separate trees,” he said. “It was terrifying.” He added the road was “jam-packed” at the time as drivers had been stopped at the start of the construction zone, roughly 14 kilometres from the Tofino-Ucluelet junction, and had recently been waved through. “They turned the sign to slow and we slowly started driving up the road…There was a lineup of 50 cars probably and I was one car away. Literally 50 feet from [the tree],” he said. “There’s no way that they should have been logging up there while traffic was still going by.” He said no injuries occurred, but the two vehicles were damaged and one of the drivers was clearly “shaken up.” Desilets said he travels over the highway about once every two weeks and the experience has him worried about the safety of that commute. He noted the construction project caused an eighthour power outage on the West Coast on June 14 after rock-blasting work sent a boulder crashing into a B.C. Hydro pole. “That makes you think,” he said. “We’ve got to drive back and forth there a bunch of times. They better have their stuff together. They better get it together.” Crews were back in the area on Saturday, but tree-clearing activity above the highway remained suspended as the ministry was putting together recommendations to ensure no further incidents.

Found remains still unidentified Coroner says there is no timeline for details to be released ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Officials are still trying to determine the identities of two people whose remains were recently found near Ucluelet. Police say the remains were discovered by a woman walking her dog near Ucluelet sometime between June 1115, though the exact date and location has not been made public. Andy Watson of the B.C. Coroners Service told the Westerly News on Monday that the investigation to

Watson said. “I have no other information to share at this time.” Watson declined to com-

ment on the conditions the remains were found in and said there is no expected timeline for details to be released. “We never like to speculate on timelines,” he said. “So many factors can come into play…We’ll take the time to make sure that we get the information that’s required. Obviously, our role on this at this stage is to determine the identity of the decedents. We’ll do whatever we can to do that and work with the other agencies that we need to.”

B.C. Views

NDP rejects useful tax advice because it’s unpopular The B.C. NDP government has snubbed its own hand-picked tax advisors, refusing their suggestions on how to replace the billions in revenue from Medical Services Plan premiums. The fate of the expert panel’s advice was set in February, before their report was even complete. Finance Minister Carole James pre-empted it by announcing that MSP was going to be phased out starting with a 50 per cent cut in January 2019 and elimination the next year. It will be replaced with a payroll tax called the “employers health tax” that will hammer large-scale farmers and other businesses with substantial payroll costs. The payroll tax lands on schools, hospitals and municipalities too, so your property taxes are likely going up. With raises being negotiated by public sector unions, who continue to get their MSP premiums covered, you’ll be paying.

The tax panel soldiered on and produced diet drinks. The bulk of this is sugar-laden a final report in March, which was finally soft drinks, iced tea and coffee, fruit juice conreleased and quietly rejected by the finance coctions and so on. They are a main source ministry two months later. Don’t feel too of the overdose of sugar self-administered by far too many of us, with consequences badly for these experts, however. The panel, chaired by UVic of obesity and diabetes. This economics professor Lindsay would be a “health tax” that acTedds and including former tually improves health, instead finance minister Paul Ramsey of this ill-considered payroll and UBC law professor David tax that the NDP government rushed into instead. Duff, billed just under $100,000 for their work. Soft drinks were exempted The real scandal here isn’t the from B.C.’s seven-per-cent sales wasted money. It’s the experts’ tax along with most other grosuggestions that were tossed cery items. This mistake could Tom Fletcher aside, apparently because they be corrected now, but politiare seen as too politically risky. cians’ fear of sales tax increases is just too You may have heard about one of them, strong. So you can imagine the reaction to extending provincial sales tax to soft drinks. another panel recommendation, to convert They wanted sales tax on every retail bottled the PST into a “value added tax.” This is drink except plain milk and water, including what the harmonized sales tax tried to do.

It makes sales tax more fair to businesses that try to compete and create employment. But HST, for which I was a lonely voice in favour when it was imposed in B.C., remains a four-letter word. With the U.S. steeply reducing business taxes, it would be great to have an adult discussion about tax reform and competitiveness, but we can’t. Another proposal was to scrap or modify the home owner’s grant, introduced by Premier W.A.C. Bennett in 1957. Bennett sold it as relief from rising property taxes, which will rise more because of the “health” payroll tax on hospitals and the rest. But the HOG is now a sacred cow. “The home owners grant is a regressive and unfair element of the tax system that could be significantly improved by making it income-tested and extending it to renters, which is an outstanding commitment of government,” the panel said in its report.

Brilliant people all passionate and convinced that arts in a community is essential to its health. And now I reed that.. Maybe he should have been there..

Parks Canada owes employee over $30K Phoenix pay system fails Jenny Touchie NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Jenny Touchie works as a First Nations Liaison for the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. She loves her job, she tells the Westerly News outside the Wya Point Resort pit stop at the Tofino-Ucluelet Junction. “When I’m getting paid, I genuinely love what I do,” said Touchie. “I get to work with our First Nations partners on co-operative management and on economic development initiatives and training and capacity building. I find a lot of personal satisfaction in the job that I do.” That’s why, even after not receiving an accurate paycheque since November of 2016, she hasn’t quit. “And, because I’m owed so much money, if I were to leave now, I would worry about the length of time it would take for me to get that money once I left the system.” Touchie claims she is owed $30,776.32 for outstanding wages and extra duty pay. In conjunction with the Phoenix pay system roll out two years ago, she started a running spreadsheet to track how much she should have been paid versus what she was actually paid. “This past week, I wasn’t paid at all so I entered that in there. This is just my new normal, being underpaid.” To get by with monthly expenses, Touch-

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve staff Jenny Touchie, right, is experiencing devastating financial and personal hardship as a result of the federal government’s failed Phoenix pay system. She has not been paid correctly since the system was implemented over two years ago. ie has pretty much maxed-out her line of credit. At one point, she had to ask for extensions on her phone and hydro bills because she didn’t have enough money in her account. She said the stress has caused such debilitating mental issues that it’s impacting every area of her personal life. “I’m at the point where I’m just ready to go over the edge.” Her frustrations are compounded by the lack of support she gets from her Union and the pay centre. “It’s unbelievable that this is Canada. You would never expect that, when you sign a government contract, that you wouldn’t

get paid and, without warning, your entire cheque can be taken from you and you are left with nothing. You just do not expect that working in Canada. No other employer would get away with that, but somehow we’re stuck in the middle.” Recently, Touchie reached out to MP Gord Johns to help with her file. Johns said he hand-delivered a letter regarding Jenny Touchie to the Minister of Public Service and Procurement in the House of Commons. The Honourable Carla Qualtrough assured Johns that Touchie would get paid on her next paycheque. “It sounds like they are committed to fix-

ing it. I’m pleased that they responded so quickly and I’m staying on it. Finally we are seeing some response from the government, but we’ve had to go to the highest level. We’ve had to go with me kicking and screaming, basically,” said Johns. He went on to say that he would do the same for any employee that works for the government in the Courtenay-Alberni riding that is having payroll issues. “Whether it be Jenny or any other employee, I will go to bat for them. This is unacceptable. It really upsets me that someone who is committed to serving Canadians is not getting paid and they’ve done the work.” Touchie would like to see a personal pay audit carried out and she recommends authorizing pay at the local level until Phoenix is phased out. “I want someone to sit down and look at all of the employment contracts I signed and look at all of the pay periods and ensure that I am paid properly for each one. I want that ability to have that one-on-one discussion with someone whose actually gone through every single pay period since this all started.” Even amid her own financial hardship, Touchie shows empathy for all her fellow civil servants who can’t pay their mortgage or whose car was repossessed as a result of Phoenix. “In some sick way, I feel lucky that I am able to make it paycheque to paycheque. There are so many people out there that are struggling just like I am and have it way worse. That’s just not right. It’s incredibly unfair that people are put in this situation,” she said.

Program helps keep West Coast wildlife wild WildSafeBC returns after two year hiatus ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

WildSafeBC has returned to the West Coast. The educational program designed to help residents and visitors co-exist with local wildlife has been absent from the peninsula since 2016, but a coalition that includes the districts of Tofino and Ucluelet, the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve and the West Coast business community has resurrected it this year. “As we’re well aware, we’re sharing the landscape with a whole host of species of wildlife and, at times, that really does present challenges,” said longtime resident Bob Hansen who has signed on to be the local WildSafeBC coordinator. “The whole main mandate of the WildSafeBC program is to keep wildlife wild and communities safe…It’s a real concerted effort to reduce preventable conflict.” Hansen moved to the West Coast roughly 30 years ago and recently retired from the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve where he spent the latter part of his career as a Human Wildlife Co-existence Specialist. He said he has a “deep love” for the West

Coast and was excited to find a way to contribute after his retirement. “I appreciate having the opportunity to give back to our communities and to this landscape,” he said. “I really enjoy connecting with people and passing on knowledge and experiences that they may not have…It’s very rewarding to be able to connect with people in that way.”

TO U R S

Hansen said there are currently 25 WildSafeBC coordinators serving 150 communities across B.C. and, as the West Coast’s coordinator, he will serve as a conduit to deliver the program’s educational resources to local residents, businesses and schools “I’m linked into that network of 25 other coordinators, which gives me access to their experience and knowledge and the

experience and knowledge of their communities. That’s a huge well of knowledge to go to,” he said. He added that, outside of scheduled presentations, he plans to maintain a consistent presence at local events and will be “looking for opportunities to really connect with people one on one.” Hansen will also proactively seek out concerning behaviours, like locals leaving garbage bins or other attractants unsecured, and hopes to work with staff housing providers to ensure bear-proof garbage containers are being used. He said locals have an important role to play in ensuring visitors are well informed and he encouragesbusinesses to pass around WildSafeBC pamphlets and to make sure their staff can educate guests about co-existing with wildlife. “We all in our different capacities in our communities may have different ways of reaching those visitors,” he said. “Take advantage of every opportunity to make the visitors’ experience a rewarding one and a safe one.” He urges anyone who spots a predator in their community to immediately contact the BC Conservation Officer Service at 1-877-952-7277. Anyone interested in volunteering to help Hansen’s WildSafeBC efforts, or who wants to learn more about the program, is encouraged to reach out to him at 250266-0311, pacrim@wildsafebc.com, or through the WildSafeBC Pacific Rim Facebook page.

ARTS FEATURE Pacific Rim Summer Festival a ‘Celebration of the Arts’ ERINN LINN MCMULLAN Special to the Westerly

“Pacific Rim Summer Festival has been evolving to a Celebration of the Arts,” says PRAS president Mark Penney. “This year we are adding various forms of Dance, Poetry and Visual Arts to what has been primarily a Music-based festival.” Adding to the West Coast’s draw as an arts destination, this popular local festival showcases visiting and local artists while fostering arts collaboration and connection between communities and neighbours. “It’s the positiveness of celebrating our arts and culture that really connects us all together,” says Sue Payne, Interim Executive Director. “I am most excited by the growth in audience for our programs, particularly with First Nations,” says Penney. The Indigenous Culture Crawl features First Nations’ singer-songwriters from Winnipeg’s Tara Williamson to Ahousaht’s Kalilah Rampanen, the Le-La-La traditional Kwakwaka’wakw dancers as well as lessons in language and cedar basket-weaving—all set in a series of longhouses specially created by Hjalmer Wenstob and other Indigenous artists. “I love the West Coast,” says Williamson, who studied law at UVic. “I’ll be performing solo at this show, so you can expect me to be show up ready to sing my heart out while accompanying myself on keyboard and guitar. My music crosses a lot of genres—pop, jazz, and a little musical theatre. My songs tell stories about my relationships to people and the land, and I love solo performances for the intimacy they can invoke.” PRAS’s eight-person board has also worked hard to bring “world class ballet” into our community, according to Sandra Hinder, who studied with the National Ballet School and whose students will also perform. “I can not say enough how lucky we are to have two of Ballet Victoria’s finest principal dancers grace our local stage and share their love of dance.”

This 9-minute-long Pas de Deux is set to Tchaikovsky’s brilliant score. The movements are so slow and calculated, every finger, leg, foot has to be perfectly in place and this makes it extremely technical.” “It is that unattainable perfection that fulfills me as an artist.” Summer Fest’s spirit of collaboration pairs Tofino’s new Poet Laureate Joanna Streetly with jazz musician, Esther Celebrini. “As a poet I am always looking for ways to bring images alive in ways that permeate,” says Streetly. “I particularly love the combination of musical refrain

The weeklong festival kicks off on Canada Day with a free Tuff City Concert at the Village Green, thanks to District of Tofino partnering with PRAS. Penney emphasizes, “PRAS continues to benefit from a spirit of collaboration and we have seen arts support grow within several west communities as well as multiple levels of government.” Visit PRAS’s website for the full program: pacificrimarts.ca.

Wild Pacific Trail ambassador Tanya Nestoruk educates visitors about sea wolves during a free guided walk on Saturday morning. ed near the Ucluelet Harbour and adjacent to the WPT’s Lighthouse Loop, is Martin’s freshest trail construction project. The new section will allow hikers the opportunity to learn about the biodiversity of the mudflats via interpretive signs and three bird blinds. It is on track to be completed this summer. “We are not just about the view,” notes Schramm. “It’s really important to showcase different environments.” Extending the trail into ONNI Group lands—formerly Wyndansea—is on the horizon as well, said Martin. “It’s going to require me being here for that and I relish the opportunity. Because that’s what I do,” he said. This summer’s program of free interpretative walks experienced a surge of vivaciousness when experienced naturalist Tanya Nestoruk came onboard as trail ambassador, Schramm lauded.

“She’s not looking for the information, she is ahead of the information.” Nestoruk hosts a unique one-hour walk on Wednesdays and Saturdays about sea wolves. On Thursdays, she’ll lead visitors on a 45-minute educational trek around the Bog Trail. Once again, the Ucluelet Aquarium heads up tidepool exploration at Big Beach on Fridays. Central Westcoast Forest Society and Raincoast Education Society have signed on to lead rainforest walks on Tuesdays. Guest speakers, like Silva Johansson who leads walks to the site of the Shipwreck of the Pass of Melfort, are jotted in the calendar for mid-summer.

Proposal draws mixed reviews at open house

From A1

“The proposed concept offers a greater diversity of housing types and focuses residential development in lands of least sensitivity—including lands that have already been disturbed from past clearing and site preparation,” one sign stated. Another sign promised the company would take a “more modest and phased approached,” prioritizing neighbourhood development while preserving areas for economic development, including an oceanfront lodge, marina, and a “canopy walk” through old growth forest. The company also assured it would allow Ucluelet’s Wild Pacific Trail to extend through the property. Coun. Randy Oliwa was thrilled to see a large turnout at the event. “It’s just been a steady stream of interested community and a diverse group, some people I’ve never even seen in the community to our regular champions of our community,” he said adding he commended Onni for hosting the event. “I think, they’re going to get a really good sense of whether they even should continue down this road or just go another way.” He added his primary focus on the project will be how housing is prioritized compared to commercial development. “[Housing] is first for me. I would like to see that done first. That’s definitely the most needed,” he said. Coun. Marilyn McEwen said the event offered a positive first impression. “It’s looking like a really nice mix of single-family, multi-family and tourist commercial [developments] and they’re leaving lots and lots of green space and parkland as well,” she said. Local resident Andy Herridge said he liked the diverse housing options and hopes to see the company take advantage of its scenic landscape to attract activity. “They have seemed to save some space for green space, which I’m hoping they’ll put into some bike trails or a frisbee golf course so the community can have a place to go and have fun as well as an additional attraction to Ucluelet,” he said adding he also hopes to see alternative energy sources explored. “Hopefully, they can do some smart engineering out there and utilize the wind of Wyndansea and make it a little more affordable hydro-wise.” Wild Pacific Trail Society

The Onni’s Group is proposing a massive development at Ucluelet’s former Wyndansea development that has sat idle since delaring bankruptcy in 2015.

“This is a gigantic project and it almost outshines Ucluelet as it is.” – Jens Heyduck president Barbara Schramm said the proposal was a “vast improvement” over the Wyndansea project. She added she is excited to see the trail extended, but is wary of how much space it will be given. “If you have buildings coming close to the trail, it will not feel like the Wild Pacific Trail. So, that protection of the green space around the trail will be critical,” she said. Jens Heyduck expressed concern over the project. He doubted the community has the infrastructure in place to service the new neighbourhood and feared that, once built, it could pull business out of downtown. “This is a gigantic project and it almost outshines Ucluelet as it is. I really don’t see how we can maintain our little ‘Martha’s Vineyard’ feel, if you like, if we have a gigantic satellite town out there. I’m not too thrilled,” he said. He said water and sewer infrastructure must be addressed as well as the impact the neighbourhood would have on traffic congestion heading in and out of town. “If we do address them, so that it is all workable in terms of widening the highway and more roundabouts etc., is Ucluelet going to be the same afterwards or is it going to merge into something bigger that we haven’t really seen,” he said. He said he moved from Germany and was enamoured with Ucluelet’s small-town feel. “Newer is not always better. This is a quaint town; that’s why I came here nine years ago,” he said.

“First we saw Tofino and we were repelled and got out of dodge within the same day and found Ucluelet and have stayed ever since. I don’t know if I would have stayed in Ucluelet after this is developed.” Mayor Dianne St. Jacques said residents should not feel intimidated by the project. “If this development proceeds, it will take time. A development of this size will probably take 30 years to grow out. We have to be ready for it and we have to be prepared,” she said. She added Ucluelet is currently investigating Kennedy Lake to expand its water capacity and would be prepared for the influx created by the new development. She added that, if created, the new housing would make room for a larger tax base and the increased population could lead to new schools and other amenities. “It’s very positive for Ucluelet. Even if we do double in size, we’ll still be under 4,000 people and that’s a great sized community,” she said “Perhaps we’ll attract optometrists, veterinarians, dentists, those types of things with that little bit of extra community growth that we have.” St. Jacques expressed support for the project and said the Onni Group is well suited to take it on. “They are very respectful of Ucluelet and certainly very respectful, I’ve found, of the property itself, because it is a magnificent area and deserves to be done well,” she said. “They have ideas on things that they’d like to see out there, which are great: housing and trails and lots of parkland…I’m really happy they’re doing it this way. They’re coming to the community and saying, ‘These are our thoughts, but we want to hear from you.’”

Local kids had a blast at a Start of Summer Skate Party hosted by the Ucluelet Co-op on Friday night. The Co-op shut down part of its parking lot to welcome the community to roll in the summer.

Start of Summer Skate Party

The West Coast gathered in the Ucluelet Co-op’s parking lot on Friday night to celebrate the start of summer with a community skate party. The event was supported by the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust’s Neighbourhood Small Grants program, which helps fund events and initiatives that connect communities. Locals spent the festive evening skating together and basking in the sunshine, while enjoying free food and having their faces painted.

B.C., Ottawa sign $1-billion housing agreement Families scrambling for housing in B.C. could soon have an easier time finding affordable homes, following a $990-million bilateral agreement signed by the province and Ottawa Tuesday. The 10-year agreement, which begins next April, will “protect, renew and expand social and community housing, and will support the priorities related to housing repair, construction, and affordability” outline in the province’s Homes for B.C. plan. The 30-point plan was outlined by provincial finance minister Carol James in February. www.VancouverIslandFreeDaily.com

Supportive housing in Port Alberni Partnerships are the key to a new supportive housing project that will be built in Port Alberni this year. The province of British Columbia announced on Tuesday, June 26 a $7.4 million commitment to build 30 units of modular housing in Port Alberni at the former West Coast General Hospital site on Eighth Avenue. The housing will include individual units with private kitchens and bathrooms. Residents will have access to meal services, counselling, medical services and life and employment skill programs. The Port Alberni Shelter Society will operate the building and staff will be on site 24/7 to help provide these services.The facility will also include 20 new shelter spaces and another room for extreme weather shelter spaces in the winter months. “We are not just building housing and walking away from the problem,” said Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation and Mid Island-Pacific Rim MLA Scott Fraser on Tuesday. “We are committed to learning from those directly affected by homelessness and to funding the housing and services that will help people make significant transitions in their life.” Shelter Society executive director Wes Hewitt said that the society began work on a shelter facility in 2010 with some seed funding from the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD). Although the society received support from various city councils over the years, they were not able to move forward without the provincial or federal government at the table. “As a small non-profit, we do not have the wherewithal or finances to take something on of this size by ourselves,” he said. The homes will be manufactured in Port Alberni by the Courtenay-based Muchalat Group. Because they fall under the modular housing program, construction has a quick time frame and Hewitt said they hope to be using the facility by December of this year. The project is a partnership between the province, the city of Port Alberni, the Shelter Society and Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA). VIHA owns the land on Eighth Avenue and has agreed to lease the site to BC Housing. “Homelessness and poor housing have do have a significant impact on both the physical and mental health of our community members,” said Marie Duperreault, interim executive director of Island Health. “This housing and shelter will make a difference in the lives of some of our most vulnerable citizens of Port Alberni.” Partnerships, she said, are essential to this kind of work, which requires more than one group or agency.

ISLAND IN BRIEF Port Alberni Mayor Mike Ruttan also emphasized the need for partnerships. “From the city’s perspective, we want to see this as a beginning,” he said. “We simply don’t have the financial resources to make it all happen on the taxpayer’s dime, but with the province’s help we can make these things happen.” One resident in the area stepped forward during the announcement on Tuesday to express her disapproval of the project, claiming that she had not been properly notified. She said that the facility is not appropriate for the area and will take away valued green space. “I don’t want it here,” she emphasized. Port Alberni conducted a homeless count in 2016 that counted more than 70 people living without shelter—this did not include those living in shelters or transitional housing. A second, province-wide homeless count took place earlier this year, and the results are expected to be released this summer. “At one time homelessness was seen as something only big cities had to worry about,” said Fraser. “But we know that that’s simply not the case.” Ruttan agreed that the project is addressing a critical need in Port Alberni. “It’s not a scary thing,” he said. “It is something that will be an asset to the city.” – www.AlberniValleyNews.com

Overdose prevention training in Cumberland The Village of Cumberland will soon host a training session on how to administer naloxone, the life-saving drug that can temporarily counteract an opioid overdose. At its June 25 meeting, Cumberland council approved a motion from Coun. Roger Kishi to partner with AIDS Vancouver Island to host an overdose prevention training session in the near future. “It’s quite a simple task to do and maybe this could lead to other opportunities for raising awareness around harm reduction, the opioid crisis, and other substance use issues in the village,” said Kishi. Naloxone is a drug that temporarily neutralizes an opioid overdose by binding with the same receptors targeted by the drugs and limiting their effects. It’s most commonly used for fentanyl or heroin overdoses. AIDS Vancouver Island has offered overdose prevention training to community groups and organizations upon request since 2014. AIDS Vancouver Island Courtenay manager Sarah Sullivan says the training session in Cumberland would be free for any interested members of the public and would include a free naloxone kit at the end. “It would be an overdose prevention training session free to anyone in the community to attend to learn about the signs of an overdose, how to respond to an overdose through rescue breathing, and administering naloxone,” she said. – www.ComoxValleyRecord.com

ITTATSOO BAY Located a short drive from Tofino and Ucluelet, the Ittatsoo Bay development provides a variety of means to secure a large legacy property on the Pacific West Coast of Vancouver Island.

DL 804 & 805 ITTATSOO BAY - OCEANFRONT MLS#412126

Very few large, pristine oceanfront properties of this scale (so close to infrastructure and services) are available on the Pacific Coast of North America. An extensive path-like trail system has been built throughout the Oceanfront lands that permits easy accessibility to all promontories, beaches and terrain. These unique lands, consisting of 68 acres of old growth forest, beaches and accessible high bank waterfront, have been rezoned to permit 10 five acre waterfront lots, are available for $3,295,000.

LOT 2 ITTATSOO BAY - MIDLANDS MLS#412128

The Midlands represents an extraordinary opportunity for an individual, a family, or a developer inspired by principals of sustainability, to own 108 acres of wonderful land, including some oceanfront. The Midlands occupy the central heart of the Ittatsoo Bay lands and rise from preserved wetlands to the surrounding ridges. Rezoning by the ACRD in March 2014 permits 16 five acres lots within a designated Comprehensive Development zone. The Midlands are serviced by an established boat launch in a protected bay and are accessible by road just 20 mins from Ucluelet and 40 mins to Long Beach and the airport. The vast potential of the Midlands, featuring meadows, creeks, wetlands, natural springs and old growth forest is available for a mere $1,700,000.
