First responders all along the Sunshine Coast were helping Santa Dec. 8 by collecting cash for the Elves Club, money that will be distributed to needy families. Here Annette Sheppard of the Egmont Fire Dept., left, and Sue Duxbury, from SC (Land) Search and Rescue, were collecting at the IGA shopping Centre in Madeira Park. The money was delivered to the Elves Club telethon broadcast on Coast TV from the Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons, where some people brought in their own donations. When it was all added up, the total came to $27,679, which will be distributed in gift certificates. People receiving the certificates had to register by Dec. 11, and will pick up the certificates on Dec. 15 at pre-arranged churches. The Elves Club was taken over this year by RE/MAX City Realty in Gibsons. STEVE SLEEP PHOTO

Gibsons housing proposals move forward Two proposed multi-family housing projects moved forward at the Town of Gibsons Council meeting of Dec. 4. The Town is creating space for three affordable housing units by closing the undeveloped Harmony Lane roadway off Franklin Road. It will retain a pedestrian right-of-way across the newly created residential lot. The lot will be owned by the Town. Plans are to lease it to Sunshine Coast Affordable Housing Society (SCAHS) for 99 years. SCAHS has submitted plans to develop a three-bedroom single-family dwelling with a one-bedroom secondary suite and a separate two-bedroom garden suite building on the site. Once completed, SCAHS will manage rental of the units, offering them to those in need at no more than 75 per cent of the current market rental rate. The Town will also contribute $50,000 toward project costs from its Affordable Housing Reserve Fund. “I want to thank staff for
their efforts to create options for affordable housing on unused road allowances” said Mayor Bill Beamish. Council unanimously approved the development permit for the project, pending approval of a landscape plan and finalization of the lease and the road closure process. In addition, a development proposal for eight residential units at 702 Gibsons Way was referred to a public hearing on Dec. 18 at 6pm. The hearing will give the public a chance to comment on a change of zoning for the property to a modified multi-family residential zone. If approved, the minimum lot width would be reduced from 30 to 15 meters and smaller front, rear and side setbacks would be permitted. The proposed development has four buildings, each with two upper-floor units. In addition, each building would have one smaller ground-floor unit. The smaller units are designed to provide extended
family housing or mortgage-helper rentals for the residents of the upper floor units. In response to a question from Mayor Beamish, Town Director of Planning Lesley-Ann Staats said the developer has not indicated if there would be eight or 12 separate property titles in the development. “With the proposed smaller side yard setbacks, there could be an increased risk of fire spread to neighbouring properties,” said Councillor David Croal. He noted that if other properties in the area also applied for similar reduced lot sizes and setbacks, the opportunity for fires to spread could increase again. Ms. Staats noted that the fire department is looking at measures to offset those risks. These could include requiring fire sprinklers in the buildings, use of non-combustible siding materials as well as landscape planning to reduce the potential for fire spread and ensure proper access for fire-fighting equipment.

Gibsons shelter reopens Responding to urgent need in the community, the BC government is reopening the shelter at 599 Gower Point Rd. in Gibsons, providing people experiencing homelessness with warm, safe beds right where they live and without having to travel to Sechelt. In partnership with the Town of Gibsons and RainCity Housing, the Province is funding up to 20 shelter spaces at Christ the King Community Church. Beginning Dec. 12, the shelter will be open on a nightly basis from 6pm
to 8am until March 31, 2019, and will provide hot meals as well as a warm, dry place to sleep. The shelter will be managed by RainCity Housing, an experienced and trusted non-profit housing and shelter operator. Shelter staff will connect with all guests and can refer them to support services, such as addiction and mental health treatment for people who are willing and in need of assistance. This new shelter is in addition to the existing 20-bed temporary shelter at 5653
Wharf Ave. in Sechelt, which has been the only shelter open, serving the entire Sunshine Coast. The Sechelt shelter opened in December 2017 and has been running at or near capacity on a nightly basis. More temporary shelters and extreme weather shelters may be added throughout the season as needed and where appropriate. These temporary shelter spaces supplement the almost 2,000 permanent, year-round shelter spaces available throughout British Columbia. Submitted

Editorial Opinion
Pathological denier-in-chief When faced with conclusive evidence of a major threat to citizens, a true leader would do everything possible to confront it. So, what was the U.S. president’s reaction to a U.S. scientific report compiled by more than 300 scientists and endorsed by a dozen different agencies, including NASA, NOAA and the defence department, that warned climate change poses a dire threat to the American economy, way of life and human health? “I don’t believe it,” Trump told reporters. Should we believe a president who displays profound ignorance about climate science and claims he has “a natural instinct for science”? Or should we believe those who rely on research, evidence and facts rather than “instinct”? The president, who also claimed a recent cold spell showed global warming couldn’t be happening, isn’t the only one in his administration who tries to hide and deny facts and evidence. The White House released the report late on Black Friday, when many Americans were caught up in the country’s celebration of rampant consumerism. The report should be enough to rouse everyone to action, especially those whose job it is to serve the people. It opens with a clear warning: “Earth’s climate is now changing faster than at any point in the history of modern civilization, primarily as a result of human activities.” It goes on to show that if greenhouse gas emissions are not brought under control, the U.S. can expect “growing losses to American infrastructure and property”; hundreds of billions in economic impacts; catastrophic rising sea levels; increasing extreme events such as heavy rains and floods; more wildfires, crop and livestock failures leading to food shortages; continuing ocean acidification; and thousands of deaths. Those who stand in the way of protecting people and countless other species from the worst consequences of climate disruption, especially those with the power to do something, are committing crimes against humanity. They aren’t fit to lead. Denial in the face of overwhelming evidence is pathological, but is it any better when politicians talk about the need to confront the climate crisis while arguing out of the other side of their faces that we need more pipelines, expanded oilsands production and increased drilling? When they claim to be committed to protecting people from climate change but have no viable plans to do so? Canada is among the top offenders, along with China, Russia, the U.S. and Australia, for inadequate climate change strategies, according to a recent study. In the face of an overwhelming crisis that threatens our very future, it might be time for an overhaul of our democratic and political systems, which are clearly failing the people they were designed to serve.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Rebate unreasonable The Sunshine Coast Regional District “rainwater harvesting rebate” is more about making the SCRD look good than actually benefiting those in the community who have taken the lead. My husband and I recently started a garage reno and with all the talk of water restrictions over the past two years since we moved here, we thought we would incorporate a rainwater catchment system into our plans. So, silly us, we went ahead and purchased the cistern, the pump, paid trucking, excavated the sizeable hole, paid an excavator, ran the piping, laid drainage aggregate around the cistern, paid for labour and, in short, installed the system to specifications. Now, if you think that cost us $500 or anywhere near it, you’d be sorely mistaken. But not as sore as we were when we learned we don’t qualify for the rebate because we’d already purchased the cistern. The system isn’t functioning yet, as we quite literally just set it up and don’t have a garage yet upon which to attach the downspouts. We definitely should have held up our entire renovation and proper installation of a lot drainage system, with rock and sedimentation pit, while losing thousands of dollars daily, in favour of accommodating an arbitrary and unreasonable process by the SCRD. Of greater benefit to SCRD residents would be a rebate on our annual utility bill for those who have properly installed and, incurred the greater expense, of a water harvesting system. That could, in part, offset the apparently inevitable wastewater facility rate hikes. While we’re at it, we’d also like a food waste composter rebate, and a fuel rebate for running our recyclables up
to Gibsons Recycling. Maybe the SCRD would like us to also run our garbage down to Washington state for incineration, just to save them a few bucks ahead of the landfill closing? After all, we are clearly a self-servicing community. Maura Laverty, Langdale

(Addressed to the SCRD board and copied to the Local) The Sunshine Coast Conservation Association urges you to take immediate emergency action to prevent the listing of what is known as DL Block 1313/Reed Road Forest as part of the January 2019 timber auction by BC Timber Sales. We appreciate your previous efforts to extend permanent protection to this forest area but those efforts have apparently not been successful at this point. We suggest that the SCRD communicate immediately with FLNRORD Minister Doug Donaldson and our MLA Nicholas Simons to urge them to establish a crown lease for this site. Such a lease would have charitable educational purposes relating to forest ecology and forest succession for the community. The SCCA would be pleased to work with other community groups to develop and coordinate science-based educational programs for this forest block on a long-term basis. We think a crown lease is the most practicable and efficient way to meet our community needs and preserve forest at this time. Lee Ann Johnson, chair SC Conservation Association
Terrible way to close (Addressed to Sechelt council and copied to the Local) This letter is to express the disappointment of the dissolution of the Accessibility
Advisory Committee (AAC) and the manner in which this announcement was communicated. I received a telephone call on Oct. 31 from the mayor herself that this committee was being disbanded and she would appoint me to the Advisory Planning Commission (APC). There was no explanation or rationale. I was also told that there will be a staff report, presented to council, to clarify this rationale for dissolving the AAC. We have not seen any such report and our December meeting was cancelled so we cannot approve the minutes from our last meeting. The AAC was literally and figuratively a committee that was community-run. It held its first meeting on March 31, 2008 and was formed to provide constructive and innovated ways to ensure that, the District of Sechelt, is accessible to all of its citizens. The committee has had a variety of members with expertise in a number of areas. Three of us are original members. When the pool in Sechelt had finished upgrading in December 2007 to make areas more universally accessible it was members of this committee that pointed out that the doors to the change rooms were not automatic. Often the general public will not point out issues until they know that a person is available to address a situation. Having more than one person available for this makes a council more available to their public. The average age of the people in Sechelt is older than the provincial average. Council needs to be always aware of accessibility issues because accessibility serves not only the older population but also others with mobility issues like young parents using strollers. Accessibility makes a district progressive.
Although the mayor said I could be appointed to the APC to address barriers for persons with disabilities I am only one person and as such cannot reach out as much as a committee of people to address the concerns of taxpayers. This was a terrible way of receiving any news, especially when you find out that all of your work will no longer be warranted. This was not the right way to close this committee, for it left its members with lots of questions and no answers. The right way was to call the committee together and provide a proper verbal explanation on why the AAC was being dissolved by the mayor or someone in high authority. It would be nice to understand why the AAC was dissolved as it is a committee that receives no remuneration, only meets once a month and takes up approximately two hours of board room space. This is a new and inexperienced council and perhaps you should take a little more time and care before making changes. Bill Conway, chair Accessibility Advisory Committee
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the Editor should be sent by e-mail to editor@thelocalweekly.ca. The deadline is Monday at 10am for that week’s paper. Generally, letters should not exceed 300 words. And all letters must be signed, include the writer’s community of residence and (not for publication) telephone number. Letters may be edited for a variety of reasons.
The Local - Thursday, December 13, 2018 5
Should it be called Sechelt “city”? Your Say Day” or as part of a branding process that is being proposed for 2019. In other business, a decision on the third attempt at a development permit for the West Porpoise Bay Estates’ project on Marine Way was deferred. No new date for consideration of the permit was set. The new proposal addressed building height concerns that were cited when past development plans were rejected by the former council. To reduce building heights and maintain density the new plan proposes more significant site excavation and building in areas with more slope. The new application does not meet all development permit guidelines for the location. It meets fewer of Sechelt’s Steep Slope Devel-
opment Permit Area (DPA5) guidelines than the previous version. Councillors expressed concerns about the density of the proposed six-building, 80-residential unit development in an area with site slopes in excess of 30 degrees. Tracy Corbett, director of planning and development, explained that site zoning – rather than permitting – sets allowed density. The only option to reduce site density with a development permit would be to identify a safety or hazard issue. When asked about the potential to re-work the application, Corbett said “this developer has responded twice to calls for changes. Staff have been working with them for over a year. We have pretty well exhausted the options.” Connie Jordison

Since 1980 | #105 - 5710 Teredo St. 604-885-2029 | maribel9@telus.net The interior of a Ford F150 truck was trashed by a black bear in Roberts Creek overnight Dec. 3 after the bear got locked inside. The rampaging bear chewed on the dash, tore off the door and ceiling panels and ripped the seats apart. When police arrived, they stood a safe distance away and used a rope to pull the door open, letting the bear out. RCMP remind you to lock your vehicles to thwart thieves – and curious bears.
ing licence holders, including the town. “Part of that application process would be referrals to potentially affected parties. At that point, the town could make our concerns known,” said Newman. Emanuel Machado, the town’s chief administrative officer, noted that a water licence application by the SCRD could be problematic for the Town. “We have invested over $7 million to maintain the health of the aquifer. Our residents have reduced water consumption by 50 per cent over recent years. From a regional cooperation perspective, water remains available in the aquifer because of the work of the town and people of Gibsons,” said Machado. Town staff will be providing a detailed briefing for council on issues related to the aquifer in the coming weeks. When contacted for a comment, Cecilia Garcia, SCRD communications officer, confirmed that the SCRD drilled a test well in the Mahan area

District meetings
A race to drill water wells At its Dec. 4 meeting, Gibsons council gave 2019 pre-budget approval of $150,000 for drilling a new well to supply its water to Zone 3. Most of this zone is north of Gibsons Way and Steinbrunner Road. The Town is considering expanding water service into this area, which is currently gets water from the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD). To have the water supply to expand its service, Gibsons needs to drill a well, test the amount of supply and then apply to the province for an additional water licence. Drilling and testing of the well had originally been planned for 2020. Moving the program forward was viewed as important as the SCRD has also conducted test drilling within the aquifer area. At the meeting, Dave Newman, town director of infrastructure services advised council that the SCRD is in a position to apply to the province for a water licence. Awarding of additional licences could impact the water supply available to exist-

of Gibsons in September, 2018. “A report on the second phase of our groundwater investigation project is scheduled to be brought to our infrastructure services committee in January 2019. It will be up to the board to decide if, and when a water supply well will be drilled on this site and applications for the required authorizations will be made,” said Garcia. The early approval of Gibsons’ well drilling project means the work can be done in conjunction with an existing contract with Drillwell Enterprises. The contractor will also undertake regular well inspections for town wells 2 and 3 in Dougall Park. Regular monitoring of wells is required by Vancouver Coastal Health. Three monitoring wells will also be drilled in Lower Gibsons. Two will be to monitor pressure in the aquifer. One, in the area of Winegarden Park, will be drilled to check on potential salt infiltration. The work is scheduled to be completed by March. Connie Jordison

District of Sechelt Memo_04162015 3X7.25_PROOF
District of Sechelt Council took a wait-and-see approach to two business items on its Dec. 5 meeting agenda. Council delayed consideration of becoming the “City of Sechelt” until the community is consulted on name change options. It turned down staff’s recommendation for an Alternative Approval Process on applying to the province to make the change. Councillors noted that they had heard comments and read postings about public opposition to referring to Sechelt as a city. “I have heard from people that do want our name to change, but to the ‘Town’ rather than ‘City’,” said Mayor Darnelda Siegers. Sechelt’s communications manager, Julie Rogers, said that she would need to confirm with the province if the option of “Town” is a name possibility for Sechelt. She also pointed out that “Village” could be retained as a neighbourhood name for the downtown area, even if the municipality’s title was changed. “Our name can be confusing, with four Coast local government organizations being referred to as ‘District’,” said Mayor Siegers. The staff report on the issue pointed out that investors can associate the term “district” with a more rural or undeveloped area. This can impact decisions on where to invest. Councillor Matt McLean stated that work on a name change was a distraction from the need for real action on local economic development. Rogers said consultation could be done through opinion surveys, world café-style discussions, a future “Have

According to the U.S. National Weather Service, there are an average of two tsunamis each year that cause damage near their source. This means that unlike hurricanes or tornados or forest fires, tsunamis are a much rarer occurrence. This fact alone means the risk of a tsunami hitting the Sunshine Coast is very low. But what if the worst came to happen and we were one of the two unlucky locations to be struck by a tsunami? A 2006 study by EmergeX Planning for the SCRD explains that because of our location, the run-up potential for our region is less than two metres. Run-up is the amount of seawater that could be pushed up above normal sea level during a tsunami. Maps on the SCRD website illustrate potential inundation areas along the Sunshine Coast. These examples theorize what would transpire should a 10-metre wave hit our shoreline. Gibsons would escape with relatively little damage. While the marina and infrastructure and property along Marine Drive would likely be devastated, most of the town
wouldn’t feel the direct consequences of a large, 10-metre tsunami. The destruction in Roberts Creek and Wilson Creek would be more widespread. In Roberts Creek, 10 metres of water is shown to reach as far up as Highway 101. The pier, beaches, and shops and restaurants would probably take heavy damage. Wilson Creek would be in the same boat. Because of its relatively flat elevation, water would reach past the highway and invade the shopping plaza, the car dealership, and the Canadian Tire. Damage to property and infrastructure could be immense. Further up Coast, Sechelt and Pender Harbour would appear to be the hardest hit by our hypothetical tsunami. Large swathes of central Sechelt would be decimated, and the northern part of the peninsula would likely be completely cut off from the rest of the province until the waters receded. As the EmergeX report points out, much of the District centre is flat and home to critical infrastructure. This is compounded by the limited sheltering of local offshore islands. It’s a similar story in Pender Harbour where many parts of that community would find themselves underwater or cut off from the rest of the region.
So, what should you do when you hear there’s a tsunami warning for the Sunshine Coast? “Ready.gov” provides these safety tips: • If you’re on land, head toward high ground that’s as far inland as possible and stay there until officials tell you it’s safe to return. • If you’re in the water during a tsunami and it’s impossible for you to reach shore, find anything that floats and hold on tight. • If you are in a boat, then face the direction of the waves and head out to sea. However, if you’re in a harbour, go inland instead. When the tsunami retreats, there’ll likely be flooding and damage to infrastructure and property. Do your best to avoid floodwaters as they’ll be full of debris and additional hazards could be hiding under the surface. While is a tsunami hitting the Sunshine Coast is exceedingly unlikely, it’s always best to be prepared for any emergency. You should have an emergency kit at home, at work, and in your car. You should also contact your insurance company and double check your coverage for things like an earthquake, flooding, and or a tsunami.

One New Year’s resolution I would recommend is, commit to getting enough sleep. Sleep is the body’s way of metabolizing excess stress hormones and one of the single most important ways of maintaining good health and happiness. When adults and children are deprived of adequate amounts of sleep it can affect memory and concentration, weaken the immune system, cause irritability, depression, anger or anxiety,

one’s ability to cope and enjoy relationships, potentially lead to chronic disease and our children’s ability to grow and develop in a healthy way. If you or your child experience chronic insomnia it is a sign of an underlying condition, such as a hormonal imbalance, anxiety and depression, chronic pain and disease, or teething and colicky babies, an over active mind and stress, physical restlessness and discomfort. Homeopathy treats people with insomnia, and at the same time treats the underlying condition connected to their sleep difficulties. Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body’s own innate healing ability and are free
of side effects, so they are especially safe for young infants, the elderly and pregnant women. If you or your child have been experiencing sleeping difficulties for more than three weeks, seek professional help. To help ensure better sleep: reduce the amount of stimulation in food such as caffeine, alcohol and refined carbohydrates; create a bedroom conducive to sleep that is quiet, dark and free from electronic and wifi devices; exercise regularly and get fresh air daily; incorporate down time throughout the day and week to keep your nervous system relaxed; do activities before bed that help you unwind such as
Get a �lu shot to visit hospital
Now that flu season has started, all visitors to Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) facilities are being asked to wear a mask if they haven’t received their annual flu shot. The policy is part of the province’s strategy to prevent the spread of flu and protect already vulnerable patients from a potentially fatal infection.
“The flu can be devastating for our patients because many have chronic health problems including weakened immune systems and are more susceptible to serious illness,” says VCH’s medical health officer, Dr. Meena Dawar. “The best way to protect your loved ones in hospital is to get a flu shot, even if you’re normally
At its regular meeting on Dec. 5, Sechelt council unanimously adopted a new smoking bylaw that establishes smoke-free locations and buffer zones. Following community consultation in 2016 and 2018, the proposed bylaw reflects the community feedback and reflects new provincial legislation regarding smoking and vaping control. The Smoking Control Bylaw restricts smoking in or within 7.5m of any of the following areas: • Common areas: includes, but is not limited to lobbies, foyers, stairwells, elevators, corridors, cloakrooms, washrooms, food fair seating areas and other public areas of a building. • Customer service areas: includes balconies, patios, yards or sidewalk patios – connected to a business that serves food and beverages • Places of public assembly: includes public gathering
places such as the District offices, library, community meeting rooms, recreation centre, churches, etc. • Outdoor public spaces: includes areas owned, controlled or operated by the District which is open to the public, including playgrounds, sport fields, arenas, designated trails, parks, beaches above the tide line, and bike and skate parks. • Outdoor public events: includes any event on property owned, controlled or operated by the District. • Transit stops and shelters. The definition of smoking includes all forms of smoking (tobacco, cannabis, any other substance), vaping and e-cigarettes. The provincial legislation also regulates e-cigarettes and bans the sale of them to people under 19 years of age and prohibits their use in indoor public spaces and workplaces, school grounds and health facilities.

Pull of the Tide Pam GoldsmithJones MP, West Vancouver Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky Country
In July of this year, Prime Minister Trudeau appointed the Honourable Minister Filomena Tassi to lead the new Ministry of Seniors, so that the federal government ensures that programs and services for seniors are responsive and leading, for Canada’s seniors population. The minister’s mandate letter is here https://pm.gc.ca/ eng/minister-seniors-mandate-letter-august-28-2018. Highlights of Minister Tassi’s mandate that I believe are of particular interest and relevance to our community are: • “Maintain a strong foundation for seniors programming”. As you know, funding from New Horizons for Seniors provides support for the Community Resource Centre, the Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre and the Pender Harbour Legion. New Horizons for Seniors is an important program that recognizes the vital contribution of community organizations dedicated to seniors. • “Strengthen the protection
of workplace pensions.” Several groups and individuals have expressed concern with regard to recent company insolvencies and the security of pension, wage and benefit entitlements for workers and retirees. Ongoing consultation on retirement security runs until December 21, 2018. Please find further information from the consultation paper here https:// www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/116. nsf/eng/00001.html. • “Engage in addressing dementia.” The Sunshine Coast Seniors Planning Table is very helpful in connecting federal policy development with the community and I look forward to facilitating this vital role. • “Ensure seniors’ housing needs are reflected in the implementation of the National Housing Strategy.” Our government has signed a bilateral agreement with the province of British Columbia which will result in the provision of additional affordable housing and a reduction in homelessness. • “Contribute to the implementation of a national pharmacare policy.” We have consistently raised our interest in national pharmacare and I welcome your ongoing con-
tributions to this important initiative. I would like to recognize the incredible work of the Sunshine Coast Seniors Planning Table, which is managed by the Community Resource Centre. It brings together a broad range of organizations engaged on seniors’ advocacy and issues. I have presented the Age Friendly Plan, which the planning table produced, to Minister Tassi as an outstanding example of efficacy in engaging at the local level, planning across local organizations, and implementing effective solutions for seniors. I have invited Minister Tassi to visit us on the Sunshine Coast, to share with us her mandate, her vision and her ideas for how we can contribute to the success of the Ministry of Seniors. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to one and all. Please visit: www.pgoldsmithjones.liberal.ca for more information. I welcome your thoughts - Email me: pam.goldsmith-jones@ parl.gc.ca, connect with us on Facebook: Pamela Goldsmith-Jones, or drop by our office in Horseshoe Bay, 6367 Bruce Street 604-913-2660.

On behalf of Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Stations 12, 14 & 61, and our partners in safety and preparation, Sunshine Coast (Land) Search and Rescue, we extend the very best wishes of the season to all of our friends, generous donors and fellow outdoor adventurers. We also extend a gracious thank you to the Local for sharing our dispatches so generously throughout the year. With winter upon us, our teams have been busy doing foul-weather training on land and sea, with new recruits joining our crews and preparing for new challenges. This summer’s group of new recruits have been training tirelessly and many have completed their annual fitness certification and cold water immersion tests. We are pleased and honored by their level of commitment to our station and our Search and Rescue mandate. Station 61 in Pender Harbour has officially kicked off a comprehensive recruiting campaign for volunteers. Specifically, they are looking for team-oriented men and women to join their ranks and to assist with community events, fundraising, media relations, vessel maintenance, equipment procurement and asset management. Anyone interested is encouraged to contact the crew at

a call to action that your SAR teams believe in, that is it. As you plan your hiking, sledding, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing or boating this winter, please remember to make a route plan, share it with a friend or relative, and check your gear twice before heading out to enjoy our magnificent coast and local mountains. Happy trails and good tidings to all. Wishing you the very best (and safest) of the season.

in the two bands. “Half Cut and the Slackers” features Mark Evans, Rob Ewert, Ken Shearsmith and Brian Swanson. Yes, Half Cut and the Slackers is their real name resulting from the merger of “Ruff Cut” and “Slack Tide”. Playback features Mike Evans, Leigh Waterston, Paul Dwyer and Gord Mclennan. Members of both bands have played together over the past 45 years. Both bands are made up of residents from Sechelt and Gibsons, and in fact, most of them went to Elphinstone High School together. It is rare to see every member of a band singing lead vocals, however, both bands share this attribute. And both bands are set to rock Gibsons through to 2019. This New Year’s Eve, the price is very reasonably set at $25 for Legion members and $35 for guests. This gets you live dance music, party favours, an evening buffet and champagne for a midnight toast. This is usually a sold out celebration so get your tickets early. Submitted

A symbolic search for shelter
Lots of folks had their say
St. Hilda’s Anglican Church and RainCity Sunshine Coast Homelessness Services are inviting people of all backgrounds and traditions to enter into the spirit of this season at a special gathering called “posada for the homeless and migrants” on Thursday, Dec. 20. “Las Posadas” is lodging, or accommodation in Spanish, which in this case refers to the re-enactment of the inn in the story of the birth of Jesus in the Christian tradition. It is celebrated chiefly in Latin America, Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, and by Hispanics in the United States during the Christmas season. Two people dress up as Mary and Joseph. Others follow their journey as pilgrims. Certain houses are designated to be “inns” (thus the name “Posada”). According to the story of the first Christmas, Mary and Joseph were turned away at many doors because there was “no room at the inn”. The reenactment
An estimated 300 people attended the District of Sechelt’s first “Have Your Say Day” at the Seaside Centre on Dec. 6. The event featured information tables on a variety of topics of interest for District residents. These included options for redevelopment in the Boulevard area of the Trail Bay waterfront, a new
will highlight the plight of all who get turned away from seeking a place to lodge, and honour the courage of all those in our world today who are seeking shelter, dignity, life for themselves and for their children. On Dec. 20, the community will gather at the Sechelt shelter (5653 Wharf Ave.) at 3pm and walk with Mary
and Joseph until they find a welcoming home that opens its door. The pilgrimage ends with a community potluck at St. Hilda’s at 5pm. All are welcome. Dressed warmly for the weather and be prepared to walk 1.5 km. Donations for services supporting the migrants and homeless will be collected during the potluck. Submitted
Arbutus Sounds Chorus will be celebrating 20 years of harmony on the Coast this Saturday, Dec. 15 at 2pm with a Christmas performance at the Calvary Baptist Church, 711 Park Road in Gibsons. Along with special guests they will be ‘trimming the tree’ in song and story, followed by a reception with the chorus friends and families. Admission is by donation. PHOTO SUBMITTED
off-leash dog park adjacent to the Water Resource Centre on Surf Circle, regulations on cannabis production and retail outlets, short term residential rentals, mobile vending and the District’s new Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. Sechelt’s Communications Manager Julie Rogers was pleased with how the event turned out. “The room was full the whole time. It was a great opportunity for citizens to learn more about the issues from staff and share their opinions. There were also some great conversations between citizens. People broke off into groups to discuss the issues and then came back to chat more with staff about what they learned from others,” said Rogers. Attendees had the opportunity to discuss the featured subjects and respond to surveys on the topics. They could also discuss issues of concern to them with district
staff and council members at the event. In an early review of input received from the session, Rogers noted that some very well thought out and considered opinions were submitted. She also felt the event made efficient use of both the public’s and the staff’s time. “Some people came out to talk about one issue, but then provided input on other important issues while they were there. For staff this maximized the amount of feedback we were able to get on each topic,” said Rogers. Connie Jordison
