“We keep it dry”

It was a sun-dappled 72nd edition of the Pender Harbour May Day parade on May 18, with an “outer space” theme. This entry from the Pender Ocean Discovery Station (PODS) featured various sea creatures and a masked “Queen Elizabeth”. We do not know what the sovereign would make of it, but it won first prize in the float category. PODS is working toward developing a $20million research and education facility on the waterfront at Irvines Landing. CONNIE JORDISON PHOTO

Another try for water meter spending?

At its May 23 meeting the SCRD board is scheduled to consider a second Alternative Approval Process (AAP) to pay for water meters in Sechelt. The infrastructure services committee recommended this action at its May 16 meeting.

Properties in the majority of the electoral areas on the SCRD’s water system have water meters. Within the District of Sechelt and the Sechelt Indian Government District there are about 4,800 water connections and only 1,200 of these are metered.

Most of the metered connections are commercial users.

In mid-2018, an AAP was conducted for approval of borrowing to fund meter installations in both Sechelt areas. More than 10 percent of the eligible electors of these areas filed notices of opposition to the process – so the borrowing did not proceed, and the SCRD lost an opportunity to secure a grant to help fund that phase of its universal water metering project.

Sechelt Mayor Darnelda

Siegers stated she believed that the 2018 AAP failure resulted from a lack of public awareness on the area’s water situation and how metering could help address water management. She is hopeful that the public engagement and information process on the Coast’s water system that the SCRD is undertaking over the next month will change that.

The committee recommended the board move to the second AAP after additional SCRD water supply sources are confirmed. It also is asking the board to pair the borrowing for meters with borrowing for the development of the Church Road well field. This means the AAP, if endorsed by the board, will likely be at least a year away.

At the May 16 committee meeting, management of growth to address the areas water supply deficit was discussed. The committee recommended that staff provide it with list of possible initiatives to incentivize and regulate the conservation of

water in new and existing developments. To do this, the committee asked that other local governments be contacted for new ideas on water conservation initiatives.

Area A Director Leonard Lee is not convinced that water conservation is the answer to the Coast’s summer water supply issues. “The problem to solve is how to retain the water the area receives,” said Lee. The Committee also discussed how the SCRD could influence decisions on development projects in municipal areas that rely on regional water supply. Staff explained that development applications from such areas, including the District of Sechelt, are referred to the SCRD for comment on water. Remko Rosenbloom, the SCRD’s infrastructure services general manager, said that staff would require direction from the board to include referral comments encouraging denial of a development project, based on regional water supply issues.

Connie Jordison Rev. Terri Scallon, of Gibsons United Church, left, hands a $400 cheque to Glen Fraser of the Salvation Army in Gibsons for its food bank. Another $400 was given to the food bank operated by St. Bart’s Anglican Church in Gibsons. The United church raised the money through bake sales.

The Salvation Army provides bread and produce every morning between 11am and noon, food hampers for 100 families a month and 125 lunches a week. St. Bart’s distributes food on the third Wednesday of every month, serving 1,499 people during 2018.

School impacts Sechelt pot shops While there are no “School Zone” traffic signs on Inlet Avenue, Sechelt council wants the Sunshine Coast Alternative School (SCAS) in that location considered as a school for the purposes of the zoning bylaw amendment for cannabis facilities.

On May 15, council held a public hearing on this amendment. Councillor Tom Lamb raised concerns that the SCAS facility was not considered in the material detailing setbacks from schools. Sechelt’s director of planning, Tracy Corbett, acknowledged that the facility had not been identified as a school on the map used to show the impact of the proposed setbacks from schools on existing cannabis retailers. The amendment calls for cannabis stores to have a minimum 150-metre setback from schools. She comment-

ed that if these setbacks were applied around the Inlet Avenue SCAS site, most of the existing downtown cannabis sales locations would not be permitted under the proposed amending bylaw.

The May 15 public hearing was held to seek input on the amendment to regulate the siting of facilities used for cannabis cultivation, production and retail sales. It was not well attended. Four members of the public were in the audience. In addition to Councillor Lamb’s inquiry, two other members of the audience asked questions.

No opposition to the proposed bylaw was voiced.

About 15 members of the public joined the audience for the regular council meeting that followed the hearing.

At this meeting, Councillor Lamb left the council table in advance of debate on the

bylaw amendment. This was due to a potential conflict of interest. He stated that he owns properties that are used for purposes covered by the proposed legislation.

In consideration of second reading of the bylaw amendment, Councillor Matt McLean said he viewed the SCAS as a school. Corbett indicated that a “notwithstanding clause” could be added to impose school setbacks in relation to the Alternative School location. Council referred the bylaw back to staff for analysis on the impacts of this change. Mayor Darnelda Siegers noted that given the lack of public opposition on the matter, the bylaw should be returned for council consideration of further readings once staff provides advice on the change.

Editorial Opinion

Weekly Cartoon

Driving to a low-carbon future Electric vehicles won’t save us from runaway climate change, but they’re part of the solution, along with support for public transit and active transport like waking and cycling. The transportation sector accounts for almost one-quarter of the world’s carbon emissions, so it’s an area where change is necessary and possible.

As Norway and other countries are demonstrating, incentives and tax policy can move people quickly into cleaner vehicle options. Half of Norway’s cars are expected to be electric this year, and it’s on track to meet its commitment to have only zero-emissions cars sold by 2025. Its strong EV mandate, inexpensive hydropower, tax incentives and price parity with internal combustion engine vehicles contributed to this success.

Reduced tolls, bus-lane access and free parking and ferry rides sweetened the option for Norwegians. Only four per cent of the country’s EV owners say they would go back to conventional cars.

Norway is ahead of much of the world, but electric vehicles are on track to reach more than half of global new car sales by 2040. Government policies have driven this shift.

The Norwegian government offered about US$1 billion in incentives this year, including waiving high vehicle import duties and taxes for electric car buyers.

China used government incentives to increase EV production last year by 50 per cent over the previous year, and built the world’s first fully electric bus fleet in Shenzhen.

Although Canada isn’t embracing the full policy package needed for significant behavioural change, it’s making progress, with commitments to reach 100 per cent zero-emission vehicle sales by 2040. But it’s a long road ahead. Just 2.5 per cent of total vehicle sales last year were electrics.

Provincially, BC and Quebec are echoing California, which in 1990 became the first place to set up a zero-emission vehicle standard. One of 10 new vehicles purchased there last year were EVs. Municipalities and provinces can help prepare for the EV transition by building more public charging infrastructure and requiring new residential buildings to install chargers or be electric-vehicle-friendly..

Even without government interventions, electric vehicles may cost less than gas-powered cars by 2024, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch analysts. Hydro-Québec’s online calculator estimates it costs $10.65 to drive a gas-fuelled compact car 100 kilometres and $2.10 for an electric.

A recent study shows Canada’s climate is warming at twice the global rate and that to prevent environmental catastrophe, human behaviour must change. Canada would be wise to emulate Norway and other countries and speed up its transition to a low- to no-carbon future.

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Sea lion stink (Addressed to the District of Sechelt and copied to the Local) For some time now, the rotting, putrid, foul and decaying mass of a dead sea lion has been filling the air in Davis Bay with a far-reaching, unpleasant odour. Residents along the waterfront can no longer sit on their deck enjoying the view their high property taxes pay for. Tourists, and all those that enjoy walking the sea wall, for both pleasure and exercise, verbally complain about the offensive smell and their concerns about this public health issue.

We depend on summer tourists’ dollars, but who wants to sip a cool drink at Gourmet Girl, eat fish and chips from the vendors or share the beach with their children when subjected to such an unpleasant experience?

Today while walking, I overheard many complaints and saw an owner frantically pull their pet away from the carcass, preventing him from getting sick or rubbing up against it. This dead mass of bacteria is not educational for children, nor does it provide a natural food source for scavengers.

We are repeatedly told to keep our garbage away from bears which are now foraging for food. What is going to happen if a bear begins feeding on his “cache” and an unsuspecting person interrupts his meal? Will they be perceived as a threat? Will they be attacked? Do you want to take that chance?

What stance will you give the public then? Will you go on professing “it’s not in our jurisdiction” excuse, and continue to pass the buck?

It is no longer acceptable to ignore the community

that pays your wages; we have been asking SCRD to rectify a valid concern and you have ignored our plea.

Do what is right, not what is convenient. Remove the carcass please, and let’s move on with a pleasant summer.

Lorraine McEwan, Davis Bay

Let it rot (Reply to Lorraine McEwan and forwarded to the Local) We hear you. We are not permitted to touch anything below the foreshore as that is provincial and federal jurisdiction. We can’t even move a log if it blocks beach access. We were getting reports from our citizens that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans is telling people to call us. As a result, we contacted both provincial and federal officials and they confirmed we cannot take any equipment onto the beach. Their preferred process is to let it rot.

Julie Rogers, Communications Manager District of Sechelt

Re-zoning alert If a change in zoning in Roberts Creek from 100 hectares to one hectare on forest land parcels is something you would like to know more about, mark your calendar to attend the Public Information Meeting at the Roberts Creek Hall on Thursday, May 30, from 5:30 to 7:30pm.

The lot in question is DL1312 (about ½ km above the cemetery) on the west side of Highland Road. The concern is the precedent it will set for the many other forest land parcels above the highway, and the resulting suburban sprawl up the hillside, where density is discouraged in the Roberts Creek Official Community Plan. The plan recommends

Spiteful cartoon (Re “The NDP alternative to a money laundering inquiry”, weekly cartoon, May 16, the Local) I found the political cartoon about money laundering to be a bit off-putting and biased. It was also out of date by the time it was printed, as a public inquiry had been called, so it just looked spiteful and opportunistic.

A green future

All or nothing thinking can lead us into scary places. To leave most of the oil in the ground would not leave us at a standstill without transportation, lighting or heating. It would lead us into new ways of generating electricity, heat and light.

Car manufacturers could make all new cars electric.

Electric companies could invest in solar, wind, wave, tide and geothermal energy. Governments could subsidize green energy rather than oil companies and pipelines. We only get frightened when we don’t realize that all the technology is already invented (and more to come). Look at LED lights. They were inconceivable 10 years ago.

All we need to do is vote for a government that will take us into a hopeful future, not one that is doubling down on old technology that has been shown, without a doubt, to lead us

into a frightening future of fire and floods and famine.

Don’t worry about jobs.

There are lots of jobs in a green economy.

Help the gala

The Ladies Red Serge Gala committee is looking for one or two people to volunteer to chair or co-chair this year’s event, scheduled for September 12, in Sechelt.

This will be the 20th anniversary of this popular, soldout event that raises money for pediatric cancers. This event is very well organized and the framework is in place; it just needs an energetic person to assist in the execution of the event.

“This event has been an incredible success in the past and we know it will continue with assistance from someone in our community” says Catherine Gadsby who has been involved in the event since 2006.

Money raised through this event goes to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancers, and Camp Good Times.

Anyone interested in volunteering to be the Chair or Co-Chair is asked to call Sgt. Mike Hacker or Cst. Karen Whitby at the Sunshine Coast RCMP office 604-8852266.

Clack Creek Forest sold for logging Despite several science-based assessments of the importance to protect the Clack Creek Forest, and local government support of including this forest into an expanded Mt. Elphinstone Provincial Park, BC Timber Sales has gone ahead and awarded the rights to log this forest to Black Mount Logging based out of Squamish.

Elphinstone Logging Focus (ELF) has filed a petition in the Supreme Court of BC seeking a judicial review of BC Timber Sales’ decision to list Block A93884 (Clack Creek Forest) for sale. A hearing is expected to be held early summer. Black Mount Logging has stated via a government lawyer they don’t plan to begin any activities until after the fire season ends in September, or later. “We’re shocked that with all of the available information before BCTS on the importance of the Clack Creek Forest to our region that the NDP government would proceed to issue a contract

on it,â€? said ELF’s Ross Muirhead. “We remain hopeful that a court will rule that the reasonable action to take is to defer the block until the Elphinstone Land Use Plan is completed between government and the shĂ­shĂĄlh First Nation. Cutting down a mature forest like this one, which essentially functions as an old growth forest, is tantamount to an execution order.â€? “There is ample information available to BC Timber Sales regarding the value of this forest and the availabil-

New data from BC Hydro shows switching from a top-selling gas-powered car to an electric vehicle could save thousands of dollars per year on the average commute.

A recent survey commissioned by BC Hydro found the average British Columbian commuter travels about 20 kilometres each day in their car. Making this trip in a Honda Civic – the top-selling sedan – would cost six times more than it would cost in a Nissan Leaf, the top-selling electric vehicle. This is the highest gap to date in BC. At the equivalent of $0.25 per litre in gas, fueling an electric vehicle costs about 80 per cent less than fueling a gas-powered vehicle. Com-

muting 20 kilometres a day in a Nissan Leaf costs about $2 a week, less than the average British Columbian spends on a cup of coffee at $3.60.

Comparing the cost of gas to electricity for a round-trip 44 kilometre commute from Ladysmith to downtown Nanaimo, shows the costs add up over the course of year. For example: • A Honda Civic costs around $913 more per year. • A Toyota Rav4 costs

ity of other timber outside the proposed park expansion area,� remarks Matthew Nefstead, a Victoria-based environmental lawyer retained

by ELF. “This block did not need to be listed for sale now, and we are asking the court to overturn that decision. BCTS should have realized that there are other stakeholders in this critical land use decision and made every attempt to ensure that it would not be logged to allow a transparent process to unfold.�

Electric car fuel savings

Ferry fuel surcharge BC Ferries is advising customers that due to current fuel market conditions, the company will implement a fuel surcharge of 1.5 per cent on June 1. BC Ferries closely monitors the cost of fuel and applies a rebate or surcharge, or neither, under a regulatory process that is independent of fares.

This will add 20 cents on the passenger fare (up to $13.90) between Horseshoe Bay and Langdale, and will add 65 cents to the vehicle charge (up to $46.55.)

When fuel prices are lower, BC Ferries passes lower fuel prices on to customers through a fuel Broker/Owner rebate. When fuel prices are higher, BC Ferries charges a fuel surcharge specifically designed to cover the additional cost of fuel. There have also been periods with neither. The company does not benefit financially from surcharges or rebates. Submitted

around $1,100 more per year. • A Ford F150 costs around $1,700 more per year.

There are currently more than 18,000 electric vehicles on the roads in BC – with 350,000 expected by 2030.

The majority of commutes can be achieved without charging at work. Ninety-five per cent of all car trips in the province are less than 30 kilometres, which is ideal for electric vehicles.

SCRD directors push for food waste collection

BEWARE OF IMPOSTERS 604-740-0683

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Curbside collection of residential food waste helped the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) reduce the amount of household garbage collected by half within five years. After hearing details on the RDN’s success, the Sunshine Coast Regional District infrastructure services committee supported adding this service in

SERVING THE SUNSHINE COAST!

all rural areas except Area A (Pender Harbour/Egmont). If the SCRD Board supports the plan at its May 23 meeting, the earliest that the new service could be in place would be January, 2020.

Jeff Ainge of Carey McIver & Associates presented details on the RDN’s experience at the committee’s May 16 meeting. Ainge, a former RDN employee, planned and implemented that district’s residential food waste collection when he was at the district.

The Committee recommended a weekly collection service that will be supported by a mobile application or app. An app lets residents sign up for text or email reminders about upcoming collection days and other information on the service. In the Town of Gibsons’ recent introduction of food waste collection a similar app has been deployed. The District of Sechelt also has a citizen services app which provides information on residential garbage collection. It also covers the curbside food and garden waste collection pilot project which has been running in the Davis Bay area for six years. Sechelt Council is currently considering expanding the organic waste collection throughout that municipality.

Costs for the food waste collection service have been estimated at $6.50/week for each of the 5,800 impacted rural residential properties.

Once curbside food waste col-

lection is in place, a reduction in household garbage collection and costs related to that service may be able to be considered.

The committee did not support provisions for residents to opt-out of the proposed new service. The staff report provided to the committee stated that per household costs would rise to about $7.22/week if 10 per cent of the properties in the service area chose to opt-out. This is due to administrative costs and the fixed costs of having collection vehicles serving routes in rural areas.

A request for proposals for the service as well as the supply of curbside bins and start-up kits were also recommended by the committee.

The supply of kitchen or countertop bins in the kits was rejected by the committee.

Several directors stated they preferred to see residents reuse a container already in their home for this purpose.

In addition, the committee is calling for a staff report on garden/green waste collection. They are looking for details on the costs, benefits and how curbside collection of this waste would impact the residential green waste dropoff services that are currently offered.

In a related report to the Committee, it was noted that the amount of green waste that was diverted by recycling from the SCRD’s landfill in 2018 was 4,209 tonnes. In

2011, the amount diverted was 2,499 tonnes.

The amount of waste being disposed of at the landfill has remained relatively steady over the past eight years. In this same period the area’s estimated population has grown by about 3,000 residents. The waste diversion rate was 48 per cent in 2011. It increased to 56 per cent in 2016 and has remained at that rate through to 2018. The average resident was responsible for generating 403 kilograms of landfill waste in 2018.

50 years of play-based learning Gibsons’ Jack and Jill Preschool will be celebrating its 50th anniversary with an outdoor fundraiser at Dougall Park on May 25 from 1-4pm.

The event will feature live music, food trucks, a beer garden, face painting and a petting zoo.

The pre-school, which is located at 690 Harmony Lane, currently serves 48 families. It runs programming for three- and four-year-olds four days per week.

Jack and Jill employs two teachers, Ann Law and Jenna Southwood. Law, the pre-school’s senior teacher is retiring in 2019, after 26 years of service. “Ann is an

instrumental part of the success of our school. She is a pillar in our community, who volunteers with numerous organizations,” said Anasia Gillis, vice president of the preschool.

As a parent participation preschool, Jack and Jill is a non-profit facility, founded and maintained by parents.

The school employs its teachers; the other areas of operations – including finance, maintenance, and fundraising – are done by parent volunteers. When classes are in session, two parents also serve as assistants to the teachers.

The philosophy of the

school is that play is the basic medium for learning in a child’s early years. The preschool supports play-based activities that help children learn to express themselves, develop a healthy self-concept, cope with feelings and solve problems.

“I love the education my child receives, the families I get to meet, and the community I get to share in by being involved at Jack and Jill,” said Gillis.

More information about Jack and Jill Preschool is available at www.jackandjillpreschool.ca or by calling the school at 604-886-9417.

May is BC’s invasive species action month and the Coastal ISC (Invasive Species Committee) has partnered with other regional weed committees throughout BC to bring home owners fun and educational resources to help them defend their property from knotweed.

Visit https://www. coastalisc.com/Main/knotweed-resources.html to watch videos, get tips and download a booklet called “KNOT on my property”.

Knotweed species are found throughout communities on the Sunshine Coast.

According to REM Online. com, Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is an imported species once favoured in Victorian gardens for its ability to provide privacy screens. Japanese knotweed has jumped the garden wall in BC and is now rampant in lanes, roadways,

stream banks, along highways and on private property ranging from city lots to rural acreage.

The weed, often called “mock bamboo”, can bust through concrete foundations, asphalt roads and even metal.

Japanese knotweed is now in many BC regions, found in six provinces in Canada and 39 of 50 U.S. states and is on the World Conservation Union’s list of 100 worst invasive species.

The booklet provided by the Coastal ISC explains what KNOT to do if you find knotweed on your property: • Do Knot cut, weed whack or mow knotweed. Knotweed is spread largely by small plant fragments so these activities turn one plant into thousands.

• Do Knot dig out large infestations. Knotweed roots can go as much as 3m deep and are extensive. Any tiny root fragment left behind can result in further growth.

• Do Knot put any knotweed parts in your home composter. Knotweed can-

not be reliably “cooked” by your home composter. If you must cut it, put it in your green waste for pick up so it can be commercially composted by professionals.

The booklet goes on to advise that the most effective way to win the knotweed battle is to use specially selected herbicide. A product that can attack knotweed’s extensive root system is required.

Call a company with certified applicators. They can help you choose the appropriate treatment method for your property and get the job done safely.

There is no silver bullet with knotweed. Knotweed can take a few years of treatments to achieve control. Be patient and committed to your treatment program and you can defeat this stubborn alien and protect your home.

First Nation graduation rate jumps High school student graduation rates were at 83 per cent in School District #46 in 2017/18, the first year that Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students graduated at the same rate.

This was the result of a slight drop in overall graduation rates from two years earlier, and a jump in Aboriginal graduation. The overall rate of 83 per cent was down from 85 per cent in 2015/16.

Over the same period, the Aboriginal graduation rate jumped from 72 per cent to 83 per cent.

(In 2017/2018 the provincial graduation rate for all students was 85 per cent, and the province-wide rate for Aboriginal students was 70 per cent.)

The 2017/2018 year also saw a drop in the graduation level of Coast special needs students to 55 per cent. This is the lowest percentage of completion for these students in the past five years.

(The completion rate prov-

ince-wide for students with special needs in the 2017/18 school year was 71 per cent.)

These details were presented to the district board of education at its May 8 meeting in a report on the district’s strategic plan for graduation from Paul Bishop, director of instruction.

The data comes from the province’s “Student Success” report, available online at https://studentsuccess.gov. bc.ca/school-district/046.

The site presents data measured since the 2004/5 school year. The graduation or completion percentage is based on the number of students who graduated within six years of their first enrollment in Grade 8.

“We are immensely proud that our aboriginal students are performing at our highest level ever,” said Patrick Bocking, district superintendent.

“The remarkable result is due to the skills and dedication of our staff and the close partnership with Sechelt Na-

tion. Some of our students do need more support and more time to accomplish their educational goals. Again, our staff see them through to their ultimate success.”

Other information included in the “Student Success” data relates to student satisfaction surveys. In District #46 during the 2017/18 year, students ranked both their level of satisfaction with “feeling welcome” and “what they are learning” lower than in previous years. Coast students indicated a higher level of satisfaction in 2017/18 compared to previous years with how they are “learning to stay healthy” at school.

“We review the student satisfaction survey results carefully for trends. This review helps schools to have meaningful dialogue with our students about making sure that they are coming to school each day to healthy and safe learning environments,” said Bocking.

Many dogs love to swim and play in the water. Some dogs are great swimmers (like many retrievers who were bred to retrieve waterfowl for hunters) but not all dogs are natural swimmers.

Some dogs discover they enjoy swimming once taught.

There are several ways to do this. Choose a quiet, shallow spot in the water and get in the water. Your dog may follow you into the water – if he does, he likely will paddle with his front legs and you can support him as he learns to float. Keep it fun and, if he doesn’t want to go in, don’t force him.

If your dog likes to retrieve, another way is to start is by having the dog retrieve a toy while he is wading through shallow water (I throw the fetch toy along the edge of the water rather than straight into the water initially). A third way is to find a water loving dog who will encourage your dog into the water.

To keep pets safe, watch them all the time around water.

On boats, make sure your dog wears a well-fitting life

In May we recognize the SD46 value of responsibility.

In preparation for June 21 National Indigenous Peoples Day, it is a great opportunity to highlight an Indigenous practice of social responsibility. Indigenous ways of knowing have been adopted

by SD46 as a key educational lens through which we can implement experiential learning in the classroom.

Inquiry based and experiential learning are the ways of sharing knowledge that have been championed in the new curriculum.

One opportunity to incorporate many of these learning goals is to use the circle.

A typical circle is a format for peaceful discussion, dialogue and sharing. It involves sitting in a circle formation-symbolizing continuity and shared responsibility. Everyone is equal in the circle. The circle has a purpose, stated and agreed to, a topic. There is usually a talking piece – some symbolic and real artifact that is passed in the circle.

This talking piece usually has significance to the topic. The story of the talking piece is typically shared by the circle facilitator. The facilitator also expresses the rules, that the talking piece is passed clockwise or counterclockwise, each person taking a turn

(even if they “pass”) when the piece is passed to them.

The only person allowed to speak is the person holding the talking piece. The circle is used by the educators in the SD46 Indigenous Advisory Circle, it is used widely in early learning, parent education in the district; as well as a foundational practice in restorative justice. It is an excellent way to deal with classroom conflict resolution, and using the circle regularly for other purposes or simply sharing learning can positively impact classroom culture. The emotional maturity, social responsibility and experiential learning using this Indigenous “way of knowing” is building the positive culture in our district.

Over the past six months Voice Lab has been talking to residents under 40 to understand their biggest challenges of living and working on the Sunshine Coast. Access to transportation in the evening was identified as a major gap.

Many young people felt poor transportation options were contributing to a sense of isolation and driving young people off the Sunshine Coast.

Voice Lab is an offshoot of the Sunshine Coast Regional Economic Development Organization (SCREDO). On

Voice Lab’s creation, Maria Hampvent, SCREDO vice chair, said “Voice Lab is a venue for the needs of young people to advocate for, or design innovative economic development projects for consideration by the SCREDO board. This transportation survey is a step towards filling a major gap on the Sunshine Coast” The survey is available at http://bit.ly/voicetransportation and is open to all residents of the Sunshine Coast and will close June 5.

drink ocean, lake, standing or pool water. The bacteria, parasites or salt in the water they swim in can make them sick. In addition, exposure to some types of blue-green algae is often fatal so avoid areas where there are “blooms” of algae. Dogs can also get water toxemia if they ingest too much water while playing , or drink too much water after exercise. Both these conditions require immediate veterinary attention.
