He is certainly the best-dressed visitor to the “green yard waste” drop-off depot on Henry Rd., since the humans tend to arrive in their gardening clothes.

And this peacock is a regular visitor, shrieking advice to people dumping their clippings. He has been coming around for a couple of years, and staff at the depot believe he lives at a nearby house, that he is a neighbour. He is a pushy peacock neighbour, occasionally walking right into the drop-off area to nibble at insects or plants (although he is careful to get out of the way when vehicles approach). And he is a nosey neighbour, who has been known to walk right into the shop. “He’s a pretty friendly guy,” one staffer said. The depot, operated by the Town of Gibsons for the SCRD, is open every day, 8am-4pm, except statutory holidays at 915 Henry Rd. The peacock, however, comes and goes as he pleases. LOUISE HERLE PHOTO

The Local - Thursday, May 30, 2019 3

One more week of lawn watering Effective June 7 and until further notice, the SCRD has declared Stage 2 (moderate) water conservation regulations for SCRD water users south of Pender Harbour. All those on the Pender Harbour water system remain at Stage 1 until further notice.

The warm weather and little precipitation over the past month has resulted in snow depth equal to that in late-June of 2018. Given the current weather forecast for the remainder of the month of May, it is expected that this will result in a decrease in Chapman Creek flows much sooner than last year.

Regulations help ensure that demand does not exceed the capacity of our water supply and distribution system and also ensures that there is always enough water for fire protection.

To help prioritize water use for food production, lawn sprinkling regulations have changed.

Lawns: Lawn watering is not permitted. Watering permits to establish new lawns (seed or sod) will not be issued at Stage 2 but existing permits are still valid.

Trees, shrubs or �lowers: • Sprinklers or soaker hoses can be used two days

per week on Thursday and Sunday for even numbered addresses from 7-9am, and on Wednesday and Saturday for odd numbered addresses from 7-9am.

• Hand held hoses with spray trigger nozzles, hand held containers or micro/ drip-irrigation can be used anytime.

Food producing plants and trees: • Sprinklers or soaker hoses can be used two days per week on Thursday and Sunday for even numbered addresses from 7-9am and 7-9pm, and on Wednesday and Saturday for odd numbered addresses from 7-9am and 7-9pm.

• Hand held hoses with spray trigger nozzles, hand held containers or micro/ drip-irrigation can be used any time.

Commercial food producing farms: Commercial food producing farms paying a metered rate for water are

exempt from Stage 2 regulations.

Washing vehicles or boats: Permitted with container, hand-held hose with spray trigger nozzles, or commercial car washes.

Washing sidewalks and driveways, windows or exterior building surfaces: Permitted only for preparing surfaces for painting or paving and for health and safety.

Filling swimming pools, spas, garden ponds, or fountains is permitted.

SCRD staff patrol neighbourhoods on a regular basis to enforce regulations and to deliver educational materials. Complaints are also investigated.

Help conserve your drinking water supply by following these regulations. For more information, contact the SCRD at 604-885-6806 or the Town of Gibsons 604886-2274. Visit www.scrd. ca/Sprinkling-Regulations for more details. Submitted

Sechelt panhandling restrictions An update of Sechelt’s sign bylaw and two new bylaws – restricting panhandling and protecting trees – will likely be circulated for community comment over the coming months.

A new “good neighbor” bylaw would address panhandling. Tracy Corbett, director of planning, explained to the committee of the whole meeting May 22 that human rights legislation does not allow a municipality to prohibit panhandling. Municipalities can identify locations where the practice is not allowed. In the draft bylaw, Sechelt would be looking to ban panhandling in the areas of traffic lights, automated bank machines and liquor or cannabis stores.

This new comprehensive bylaw would replace Sechelt’s existing Public Places, Noise, Property Maintenance, Boulevard Maintenance and Vehicle Removal Bylaws. In the proposed new regulation, shipping containers or “sea cans” would be prohibited on residential properties without a building or development permit. If an owner

has a valid building permit on a property, a container would be allowed to be used for storage during construction, subject to conditions. If a container is to be used as part of a permanent structure on a residential property, a development permit would be required.

A second bylaw that the committee recommended be referred for public comment is a new Tree Management Bylaw. It is proposed that this item replace the Environmental Management and Protection Bylaw, which Corbett noted “has proven to be ineffective in its intent”. The new bylaw would protect all trees with trunks of over 30 centimeters in diameter. Arbutus and Pacific Dogwood trees with trunk diameters of more than 20 centimeters would be protected.

In discussion of the draft, Mayor Darnelda Siegers asked that consideration of the hydrological impact of tree removal be added to the proposed bylaw. Siegers noted she has heard concerns expressed in the community about how the removal of

trees from certain properties has impacted water flows on neighboring lands.

Corbett stated that in drafting the tree bylaw, staff focused on encouraging compliance. She feels the bylaw needs to be one that property owners can support and work with. She stated that if the process is too onerous, people may ignore the bylaw and cut trees illegally. Such actions put the district in the difficult position of having to prove the cutting was not permitted after the fact.

The Committee also recommended that the public and stakeholders be consulted on a proposed update of Sechelt’s sign bylaw. Corbett said there is a need to keep the size, number, and styles of signs in keeping with community character.

“Vegas works in Vegas, but not necessarily in other communities,” she said.

Details of online surveys and open houses will be set if the committee recommendations are endorsed by council on June 5.

Editorial Opinion

Weekly Cartoon

Vaccination for vacation The majority (78 per cent) of British Columbians believe that travelling outside of Canada puts them at risk for a number of vaccine-preventable diseases. Despite this, only half (54 per cent) of those who have previously travelled overseas say they have ever received a vaccination for travel. Just one in three (35 per cent) are aware that the Government of Canada recommends that Canadians visit a travel clinic before travelling. The findings are part of a survey conducted by Insights West on behalf of London Drugs.

With the summer holiday travel season approaching, London Drugs pharmacists are urging British Columbians to make sure they and their family members are up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations – particularly measles due to reported outbreaks locally and throughout North America – as well as destination-specific immunizations before they leave the country.

“The measles vaccine is the best way to prevent the spread of this highly contagious virus. If you’re planning an international trip, or if you are unsure of your immunization status, get vaccinated before travelling,” says Lily Liang, a London Drugs pharmacist.

More than a quarter (27 per cent) of survey respondents say they did not receive vaccination for travel because they did not feel it was necessary. Despite this, nine in ten (91 per cent) British Columbians say they strongly believe that travel vaccinations and medications protect themselves and others when travelling and six in ten (63 per cent) agree that it is important to review their immunization history before travelling.

“The results seem contradictory but the reemergence of vaccine-preventable diseases has caused some concern and confusion about vaccination. It is particularly important for those planning to travel internationally to get vaccinated,” advises Liang. “Beyond the serious health threats of not being vaccinated, travelling without them can really ruin a holiday if you or your loved ones become sick. No one wants to spend their vacation at a doctor’s clinic or hospital in a foreign country.”

Many warmer climate countries are home to diseases that aren’t prevalent in Canada and some travel vaccines take time to kick in, meaning it’s best for people to inquire as early as possible about vaccines before departure.

Pharmacists can administer common travel vaccinations such as hepatitis A and B, yellow fever, typhoid, and traveller’s diarrhea as well other recommended vaccinations like rabies, Japanese encephalitis, meningitis, pneumonia, shingles, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, and rubella.

According to the survey, more than three quarters (77 per cent) of British Columbians say they are likely to visit their personal doctor to learn about vaccinations before travelling overseas, with pharmacies being the next most popular choice (59 per cent). Submitted by London Drugs

Letters to the Editor – Opinions Wolf dressed as sheep (Re “Another try for water meter spending?”, the Local, May 23) Well, here we go again.

Once more we find ourselves facing a potential AAP vote (Alternative Approval Process) on the subject of financing water meters in Sechelt. This time it is proposed that the Big Bad Wolf (long term debt) will be dressed up to look like a sheep by combining the water meter issue with drilling wells. Drilling wells is a desirable and cost-effective move. Meters are not.

Getting “a complete picture of the water usage on the Sunshine Coast” does not require $6.5 million worth of water meters financed over 20 years. The SCRD should already know the average family water consumption from existing meter installations. We do not need even more meters to confirm that we run short of water during the summer months. More meters will not produce more water, but drilling wells will. Let’s spend the money there.

That makes sense. The leak detection argument for water meters is also not valid as there are much cheaper ways of accomplishing the same thing without spending $6.5 million.

If the SCRD board wants to continue down this water meter path and also wants the public to buy into

CMCA AUDITED

@TheLocalWeekly

this idea, then include the following statement in the language of the AAP vote: “These projects will proceed only when grant financing is confirmed.” We have all paid taxes that go toward such things so let’s not pay twice.

The ethics of combining two separate items on a single vote in order to pass an already-rejected initiative have a particular odour that does not go with good governance. The problem of an ever-increasing long term debt (The Big Bad Wolf) is more important than water meters. Someone convince me that I am wrong.

Geoff Bedford, Sechelt

Blinded by beauty?

(Re “Private gardening on public land”, the Local, May 16) If the gardens being planted in public space replace, or intrude upon, a public path, are they anything other than colourful, possibly fragrant, “Do No Trespass This Means You” signs? Am I being asked to be blinded by beauty, or to make myself scarce?

Joe Dougherty, Roberts Creek

Park ‘n ride, please We need a park and ride lot that serves Coast residents from Secret Cove to Egmont.

An ideal location would be the empty parking lot next to Halfmoon Bay Firehall No. 1 at the north end of Redrooffs Road. The bus stop is right there.

A minor change in the transit schedule would allow the 4 Halfmoon Bay Bus to connect with the 90 Langdale Express that meets the 8:40am sailing to Horseshoe Bay. Transit service to Halfmoon Bay already connects well with the 5:30pm sailing from Horseshoe Bay

to Langdale for an easy trip home.

The infrastructure already exists. Optimizing what we have to serve everyone on the Coast will reduce the impact on parking at Langdale and reduce vehicular traffic on Highway 101.

(Re “Real Estate Market Minute”, the Local, May 23) Kudos to Tony Browton for his timely article on Japanese knotweed: timely because knotweed is just rearing its many heads along ditches and roadways, and in home gardens; timely, too, because knotweed here is not yet the serious problem it has become in the UK and other European countries where it is destroying property values and ruining retirement equity. We still have time to eradicate it before it spreads everywhere.

First, learn to identify it.

Don’t fall for the argument that you can eat it as a vegetable: apparently it works as a laxative. Don’t fall for the argument that it looks attractive: it won’t look so attractive when you find no buyers for your home. In the UK, knotweed-infested property cannot get insurance. We are not at that stage yet, but like summer drought, it may be coming soon.

75 years ago On June 6, 1944, I arrived by boat on Juno Beach in Normandy, France, with the Canadian Scottish Regiment. My role was in the mortar platoon. On June 17, I was based in a barn, anticipating an attack that never came. I went into a nearby shed to disarm the grenades when one exploded, resulting in the loss of my right arm.

When I returned to Canada, I became a member of The War Amps, which was started by amputee veterans returning from the First World War to help each other adapt to their new reality as amputees. Through the years, we have made it a goal to remember and commemorate our fallen comrades, and to educate youth about the horrors of war.

In Normandy, many Canadians died or suffered wounds that they had to carry for the rest of their lives. As we mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day, it’s important that we never forget.

Sechelt will maintain marsh A 20-year extension of the sub-lease for the Sechelt marsh to the Sunshine Coast Natural History Society (SCNHS) was approved by Sechelt council at its May 15 meeting. This was a renewal of the original sub-lease between the two parties. In this version, Sechelt’s parks department is taking over maintenance of the site. This change was made at the request of the society, which had found itself challenged by the demands of keeping the two-square-block marsh area safe for public use.

The marsh area was purchased by Nature Trust of BC in 1975 for the purpose of conservation and nature education. In 1979, it leased the land to the District of Sechelt for a 99-year term.

“Our management arrangement, whereby the property is leased to the District of Sechelt, and subleased to the Sunshine Coast Natural History Society, is a very positive one. It provides the appropriate resources and expertise to ensure that the balance between conservation and public use is maintained in an appropriate manner. We are very thankful to our two management partners for their many years of care and dedication to the project, said Carl MacNaughton, with the Nature Trust of BC. Resident Fran Diamond,

who lives near the marsh, has concerns about what she sees as unnatural additions to the area, including the hard surface wall along the walking path. She views this as a potential hazard for both people and wildlife that use the area.

Diamond’s opposition to the district and the SCNHS building structures in what is not a park but a “nature preserve” dates back to 2012. She feels that there was a lack of public involvement in district’s decisions about the marsh, including the renewal the sublease.

Both the installation of the path wall and the sublease renewal were approved at open council meetings. The path retaining wall was installed in two phases, beginning in the fall of 2018.

It was designed to prevent users from stepping off the

pathway and losing their balance. The project was paid for through a grant obtained by the SCNHS, with Sechelt parks providing the materials.

According to Perry Schmitt, Sechelt’s parks manager, the structure also helps prevent soil erosion along the walking path. This was becoming an issue in several sections. “The wall is made from locally milled cedar and is 100 per cent natural,” said Schmitt.

The Municipal Insurance Association (MIA), Sechelt’s liability insurance provider, inspected the completed work. “The MIA risk manager commented that he would recommend this as a solution to similar challenges at other communities,” said Schmitt.

An Update on BC Ferries’ Langdale Terminal Redevelopment Plan Hello Sunshine Coast Residents, We continue to move forward with the Langdale Terminal Development project and want to keep you up-to-date.

This month’s update focuses on what we’ve recently completed and what’s coming next.

What’s happening now We have completed materials selection for interior and exterior finishes of the terminal building. This includes items like flooring choices, wall finishes and more. We have done our best to align our selections with what we heard from you during our public engagement sessions.

We’ve chosen a light colour pallet and natural finishes to warm up the building and ensure it has a West Coast feel.

The materials we have chosen for the wall and ceiling finishes have excellent acoustic qualities, which will make for a safe and enjoyable terminal building environment for all of our customers. We have also started design work on our terminal wayfinding signage package, with a focus on ensuring clarity and consistency so our customers get around the terminal safely and efficiently.

What’s next We know the existing Wi-Fi service at Langdale terminal is not meeting our customers’ expectations and we’re excited to share that improvements are coming soon.

We will be adding more wireless access points in the terminal building and across the holding compound.

Doing this during construction allows us to ensure the

necessary additional cables and units are built into the new building and across the rest of the terminal. We are confident this will significantly improve the service.

We plan to start construction at Langdale with site clearing and preparation for the terminal building, which is just north of the current baggage area. We continue to work on construction details and planning, and are working with the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD), BC Transit and other local stakeholders to identify impacts and how we can mitigate them.

We are on schedule and expect to start the preliminary stages of construction work this summer, and will continue to communicate with customers about the project and any impacts.

SeaForward Last month I introduced you to Mika Desloges, Manager Corporate Social Responsibility (SeaForward). Mika is looking into some exciting ways to be involved in the Langdale Terminal Development project. We are required to clear some trees for construction, and one of the initiatives we are exploring is donating the wood back to the community. Stay tuned for more details as we look into this opportunity. We will also be planting more trees as part of the Langdale Terminal Development project.

As summer approaches, you may have noticed our #DrawtheCoast contest for kids is back. You can pick up an entry form for your children at the Chief Steward’s office on board or online at bcferries.com. We want to see our young customers’ drawings of their favourite

thing about travelling the beautiful West Coast with BC Ferries. The contest is open to BC residents 12 and under. For full contest details, visit the Chief Steward’s office on board.

Please continue to send me your questions about the Langdale terminal redevelopment project at michael.pearson@bcferries.com.

Thank you,

Mike Senior Project Manager BC Ferries

The SCRD has committed to have tender documents for the search for a new landfill site ready in the first quarter of 2020. A contractor should be able to start a landfill siting study after approval of the 2020 budget, which is anticipated by next April.

Area D Director Andreas Tize believes the Board has no time to waste in deciding on a new location or approach to garbage disposal on the Coast. At its May 23 meeting, the board endorsed Tize’s recommendation that an analysis of solid waste disposal options be funded in the next regional budget.

The SCRD’s only solid waste disposal site is the Sechelt landfill. This site has space available to serve the community until 2025, according to a report provided to the SCRD. A landfill’s remaining capacity is based on its design,

operation and closure plan (DOCP). The environment ministry requires landfill owners update DOCPs every five years. In the Sechelt landfill’s 2017 DOCP, its anticipated lifespan was reduced by two years over previous projections. This was due to an investigation that showed waste settling allowed less space than previously thought, and because of a decision not to pile waste adjacent to a water pond.

The Board also asked for a report on the feasibility and costs of adding a waste baler or shredder to further process the waste being received at the site. If the waste that comes in is mechanically compacted, less disposal space will be needed. This could result in the landfill being able to be used for a longer period.

The SCRD estimates it will cost $5.77 million to close the

Sechelt landfill at the end of its lifespan. It currently has $1.25 million in reserves for this purpose. The Board has approved adding $300,000 annually to this reserve.

To raise the balance needed to pay the closure costs, additional contributions of $250,000 in 2019 and $375,000 in 2020 will be required. Between 2021 and 2025, additional contributions of $500,000 each year will be needed.

To identify a site for a new landfill, the board’s contractor will need to consider 10 restricting criteria issued by the ministry. These include setbacks from archeological sites, flood plains, water supply intakes and other sensitive land uses. If a suitable site is identified, the SCRD would face a multi-step investigation and review process before it can apply to the ministry for an operational certificate for a new landfill. If a location cannot be found, the board would need to identify another option for solid waste disposal such as shipping material off-Coast.

The SCRD Board also endorsed a one-year contract valued at $510,750 with Salish Environmental Group for the processing of the area’s wood waste. Under this agreement, only small amounts of wood refuse will be accepted at Sechelt landfill. Larger loads will need to be taken to Salish’s facility on Schetxwen Road in Sechelt.

Wood waste loads of all sizes will continue to be received at the Pender waste transfer station.

Salish will sort the wood waste and grind it into chips.

These will be hauled to local users such as Howe Sound Pulp and Paper. Chips will also be provided to the SCRD, at no cost, for cover material at the Sechelt landfill.

Development �inally heading for approval at �ive storeys Mayor Darnelda Siegers was the first to voice support for a five-storey building at Wharf Avenue and East Porpoise Bay Road during Sechelt’s May 22 committee of the whole Meeting. The committee agreed with her. It recommended that Official Community Plan and zoning revision bylaws be prepared for the proposed Wade residential/ commercial development at that location. Council is scheduled to consider these recommendations at its June 5 meeting.

The developer has made two previous revisions to his plans for this property. The

the intersection of Wharf and East Porpoise Bay Road that prioritize pedestrian traffic flow and safety are proposed as part of the development.

Councillor Matt McLean supported the committee’s recommendation, despite stating he believes that four storeys is right for the location.

The committee also weighed in on development amenity contributions. Councillor Tom Lamb noted that in the proposal, this developer is being asked to provide 20 per cent of the residential units as affordable housing, as well as sidewalk, intersection and underground servicing improvements.

Lamb asked his committee counterparts to consider “Who pays for that?� He noted that there is “only so much profit� for a developer in any project. He said the people who will end up paying for the extra costs incurred will be the owners or renters of the new residential units. In Lamb’s view, this will be �the working guy trying to raise a family in this community�.

Siegers said she felt the district should focus its amenity contribution requests on items that are most needed by the community. She also said that it was too early in the process to be formalizing recommendations regarding

original proposal was for a six-storey structure and the second was for four floors.

The current proposal is for a five-storey building with 40 residential units and 3,000 square feet of commercial space. This proposal was reviewed by Sechelt’s Advisory Planning Commission (APC) on April 11. The developer incorporated the APC recommendations into the plan that was reviewed by the committee. These included designing the building with lower heights fronting onto Wharf as well as changes to the roofline and overhangs.

In addition, improvements to

these contributions. McLean said that one amenity that he would like to see considered that was not included in the staff report relates to water conservation. He suggested that as the site is close to Sechelt’s Water Resource Centre, the developer

be asked to make the project ready to use reclaimed water from the centre, once available, for appropriate purposes. He also wants to see rainwater harvesting and reuse encouraged in the development.

Langdale is a community on the Sunshine Coast that is popular with young families, commuters and employees of the pulp and paper mill.

It is a very nice feeling when you depart the ferry, turn right at the lights and are home before everyone else is at the top of the bypass.

The neighbourhood is quiet for the most part, has endless walking and biking trails and the Elementary School is highly rated.

There are two great beaches within 10 minutes’ walk and the RV Park (5 mins toward Port Mellon) has a fun pitch and putt and seasonal store if you don’t fancy driving up the bypass in summer.

Locals report that crossing the highway can be dangerous at mill shift change. The 50kph speed limit is seldom obeyed and for some reason the RCMP seem to prefer to

hand out tickets for speeding at the bottom of the bypass rather than nabbing the drivers consistently doing 90 in a 50 zone from YMCA to Wharf Road.

You are quite car-dependant in Langdale. It is on a bus route that sees service every 90 minutes or so, but you do pretty much need a car, or access to a car, for groceries and the like.

Recently there was an EV charger installed out the front of Langdale elementary which is nice for the early adopters in the neighbourhood.

Langdale has four different areas: Langdale Heights: This area is from Wharf Road (the first Road on the left when turning right off the ferry) to Forbes Road, and is where the Elementary School can be found.

Upper Langdale: This is from Grady Road towards the ferry terminal. Lots of view properties in this part of Langdale and there have recently been some new homes built that look great.

Lower Langdale: Lower Langdale is where you find the large waterfronts on Smith Road. Lots of amazing homes in this area with fantastic views. The most notable would be 1574 Smith Road currently listed by Realtor Fran Miller. You can check it out at enjoycoastlife.com

YMCA: This community enjoys the well-known camp being in the neighbourhood and boasts a community septic system (all other Langdale areas are on individual septics). Halloween is when Langdale really shines, YMCA specifically. The community puts on fireworks display every year and you can see some of the scariest haunted houses on the Coast. In past years there has even been hayrides for the kids with neighbours also handing out hot chocolate and cider.

High school graduates will be able to ride the bus for free for two days of their choice during the month of June thanks to the GradPASS program.

BC Transit and its partner communities are once again offering the popular GradPASS program for graduating Grade 12 students all over the province.

“Grad season can be a

busy and exciting time for high school graduates – and GradPASS provides them with access to a free and safe transportation option,” said Claire Trevena, minister of transportation and infrastructure.

“BC Transit is pleased to congratulate the graduating class of 2019 for reaching an important milestone in their lives,” said Erinn Pinkerton,

BC Transit president and chief executive officer. “ To use their GradPASS, graduates only need to scratch off their two chosen travel days (does not need to be consecutive) and show the card to their bus driver at the time of boarding.

GradPASS cards will be distributed to local schools in late May. Submitted

Building Habitat Homes Donations - 604-885-6773

HIGHLIGHTS

EXCITING THINGS ARE HAPPENING!

T

here’s always lots of really exciting things happening at Habitat for Humanity! We are constantly up to something new and working to bring more services to the people of the Sunshine Coast. Right now we’re celebrating the purchase of a new ReStore truck. The trucks are used to pick up donations, and also deliver products to people’s homes. It’s a really great service.

Luanne St Louis, the ReStore manager is really excited about the possibilities this new truck will open up. “The new truck will make it easier to

get into smaller driveways, which we have a lot of here on the Sunshine Coast. It also has a much better lift than our other truck, so it’s easier and safer for our team and the home owners.”

The truck drivers are a valuable part of the Habitat team, they help provide a great service to the ReStore, which in turn, helps provide affordable housing in our community. Robin Karens has been a truck driver for Habitat for three months, and has had the opportunity to work with the new truck. “The truck is absolutely incredible! We can fit more into it, and it has a hydraulic ramp that’s superior to our previous truck and safer for everybody.”

Robin has also had the privilege of helping people in the community declutter or downsize, “I’ve met some really amazing people while working for Habitat. They’re all so appreciative of the service we provide.”

Stuart Gicquel, ReStore Assistant Store Manager

It’s truly an amazing service, and worth taking advantage of. For more information about donations accepted at the ReStore and how to book a donation pick up at your home, visit www.habitatsc.ca.

If you haven’t stopped by the ReStore in the past month, you’ll be shocked when you walk through the door. Not just by the unique and quality products available, but at the renovations taking place. A good word for the new look of the ReStore is “homey”. The walls in the front section of the store are now beautiful cedar, and they’re currently in the process of creating cedar posts for the inside of the showroom.

While it’s not totally finished, it’s worth coming in and taking a look. Plus, during the month of June, if you spend over $40 you’ll be entered into a fantastic Father’s Day draw. All the more reason to visit the ReStore this month.

For more information on Habitat for Humanity, to donate, or to volunteer, visit www.habitatsc.ca, and make sure you visit our booth at the Home and Garden Expo on June 8th at the Gibsons and Area Community Centre.

Bill Stockwell, president of the Coast Community Builders Association (CCBA), invites the entire Sunshine Coast to enjoy a fun filled Home & Garden Expo on Saturday, June 8 at the Gibsons & Area Community Centre.

Through collaboration between the CCBA and event coordinator Sasha Gray, we anticipate another record year of attendance – likely more than 2,000 attendees.

The Expo hours are from 10 am until 4 pm, featuring sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, food vendors and many in-booth displays – activities for the entire family.

Our LEGO competition last year was such a success that we’re having it again this year. Prizes are being graciously donated by London Drugs. This competition is for kids under the age of 18. You can access the entry form from our website www. coastbuilders.ca/home-garden-show.

The speakers will be presenting between 11am-

12:30pm in Room 219 at the community centre. We have Ian McGinnis who is a certified passive home consultant (11am) and Gerry Pageau from the Sunshine Coast Solar Association (11:30am).

Entry to the show will be “by donation� with proceeds benefiting the CCBA High School Trades Bursary, developed for students to further educate themselves in the trades industries, design or community development.

This years’ show features fabulous prizes, a $6,000 solar package and electric vehicle charger – as well as more in-booth draw prizes. There is a huge array of innovative exhibitors and we are sure you will be blown away by the diversity on offer.

We are grateful to our presenting sponsors – Sunshine Coast Credit Union and The Co-Operators. This year’s sponsors include Olson Electric and its solar division APS – Alternative Power Systems, Coast Builders Rona/Coastal Living, University Sprinklers,

Town of Gibsons, BC First Aid, The Local Weekly newspaper, and London Drugs. We also appreciate the many volunteers, without whom we would not have the amazing show we have lined up for this year.

The CCBA is a diverse group of builders, land developers and industry related business owners who live and work on the Sunshine Coast. The purpose of the CCBA is to promote effective, green, sustainable approaches to land development and to be the sector voice for building development, foster effective government/citizen communications, and to facilitate industry training and opportunities in construction and related fields.

The founding principle of the CCBA is the belief that we can keep our rural roots and grow our community into the future – responsibly, respectfully, sustainably – ensuring future generations can enjoy the lifestyle we have today.

A so-called “maternity roost� of bats known as Yuma myotis, a species of vesper bat.

It can be difficult to know how to help endangered wildlife such as the little brown bat. One simple way to support bats is to participate in the BC Annual Bat Count.

The Sunshine Coast Wildlife Project, in coordination with BC Community Bat Program, is requesting colony reports and volunteer assistance for this citizen-science initiative that encourages residents to count bats at local roost sites.

In 2018, the Annual Bat Count collected baseline data on bat populations at 214 sites across the province, and organizers hope to find more sites for 2019. The count data helps bat biologists understand bat distribution and normal variation in colony

sizes before the devastating White-nose Syndrome affects bats in the province.

White-nose Syndrome is an introduced fungal disease, fatal for bats but not for other animals or humans. Not yet identified in BC, the disease continues to spread in Washington State, less than 200 km from our border. Results from the Bat Count may help prioritize areas in BC for research into treatment options and recovery actions.

Bat counts are easy and fun. “The counts are a wonderful way for people to get involved in collecting important scientific information, as well as learn about bat behavior,� says biologist Michelle Evelyn, leader of the Sunshine

Coast Wildlife Project. Volunteers wait outside a known roost site, in a roof, attic, barn, shed, or bat house, and count bats as they fly out at twilight.

They record the final number along with basic information on weather conditions. Ideally, one or two counts are done between June 1 and 21 before pups are born, and one or two more between July 11 and August 5 when pups are flying.

Residents with bat roosts on their property as asked to please contact the Wildlife Project. “We know relatively little about bats in BC, including basic information on population numbers� says Evelyn. “This information is more valuable than ever, particularly if it is collected annually. If people want to get involved but don’t have a roost site on their property, we will try to match them with a roost site nearby.�

To report a roost, inquire about volunteering on a count, report a dead or injured bat, or to get assistance dealing with bat issues, please visit www.bcbats.ca, or contact the Wildlife Project at coastwildlife@gmail.com or 604-989-1007. Submitted

SCRD explores Sechelt Library funding a bequest provided in 1982, donations and a number of small grants.

Moving to a “service” model could provide greater funding stability for both the Sechelt and Pender facilities.

Concerns were expressed

by Area A Director Leonard Lee about potential impacts that may result from such a change, especially if it would mean that community vol-

unteers at the Pender Centre would be replaced by paid staff. Sechelt Mayor Darnelda Siegers also cautioned the committee that such a change might impact the amount of provincial funding the facilities receive.

The committee’s recommendation is slated to be considered by the SCRD board at its June 13 meeting.

Funding the Sechelt Library and the Pender Harbour Reading Centre as a new local government service is an option SCRD Board members want to explore.

At its May 23 meeting, the SCRD’s corporate and administrative services committee recommended that a staff report on establishing a new service be prepared by early 2020. The earliest any new service could be established would be in 2021.

The Sechelt Library has been funded by the SCRD under multi-year agreements, with the most recent one expiring in 2018. A new agreement has not been finalized.

The local government areas that fund the library did commit to an increase in this year’s contribution of just over $208,000. The SCRD’s 2019 annual contribution is $837,456. The District of Sechelt provides 65 per cent of that amount, Area B (Halfmoon Bay) 19.7 per cent, Area D (Roberts Creek) 8.5 per cent, Area A (Pender Harbour) 4.8 per cent and the Sechelt Indian Government District 1.8 per cent.

The Pender Harbor Reading Centre does not receive continued funding from local government. It operates in a facility owned by the SCRD. Staff are volunteers and operating expenses are covered by funds from a range of sources, including

ARTS & CULTURE

Art Review Anna Nobile Freelance Creative Writer, Arts & Culture

June is Pride Month and I once again had the privilege of curating the LGBTQ2+ visual art group show. All That We Are runs at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre May 30June 30 and features the diverse works of six Coastbased artists. Kath Neun and Rabideye from Powell River will be joining lower Coast artists Denise Brown, Marina Crawford, Colin Curtis and Fiona Wilde. With 2019 marking the 50th anniversary of the decriminalization of homosexuality in Canada, and of the Stonewall Riots in New York City, the show’s theme contemplates identity, community, and using the power of creative expression to draw strength from adversity, all through a queer perspective on history in balance with current events.

Denise Brown, an artist of colour who works with inks and watercolours, was only six years old when the Stonewall Riots took place in June 1969. The riots are widely considered to have started the modern gay rights movement. “The package I come in took me in the direction of looking more seriously at the civil rights movement than it

did Stonewall,” admits Brown.

“By the time I came out and started to identify as queer, I didn’t’ think about history.

When I was exploring the theme for this show, I went [to Stonewall] and spent a lot of time there in my mind and realized that this is a huge, huge movement.” Brown has created a series of vibrant watercolours that feature the Stonewall Inn, the site of the riots. Her passion for the subject also saw her partner with Sunday in the Park with Pride Society which organizes the Pride parade and hosts dropin sessions for queer youth on the Coast year-round.

Thanks to a donation of lumber by GBS in Gibsons, Brown created wood “bricks,” real bricks being just one of the items thrown by protestors during the riots. She brought those bricks and various art materials to the drop-ins, gave the youth a brief lesson on watercolour and talked about Stonewall and its impact. “People were not allowed to express themselves in any way,” Brown notes of LGBTQ2+ people in those days. “Even if you don’t feel any debt of gratitude to the Stonewallers who helped you be able to be who you are,” she said to the youth, “Express yourself because you can. Don’t make them have fought for nothing.” Those words resonated with them and 10 finished bricks creat-

Denise Brown is one of six Coast artists being exhibited in the LGBTQ2+ visual art show at the Arts Centre. Brown has created a series of watercolours featuring New York City’s Stonewall Inn, where the modern gay rights movement started 50 years ago. ANNA NOBILE PHOTO ed by youth will be on display along with those created by Brown. “I wish in my school days, when I was trying to figure who I was, that this information was available to me,” says Brown. “With the history, I feel more complete [so] I’m passing the torch.”

As much as daily life has improved for LGBTQ2+ people in Canada, there are still challenges and struggles faced by queer communities around the world and at home. The current global leanings to the political right mean having to remain vigilant and not take hard earned rights for granted. Brown believes that to ensure we

continue to develop an inclusive society we need to make connections and having a queer art show is part of that strategy. “People have to see where we’re connected,” she says. “First, we’re human beings and what keeps us apart are ideas of what should be instead of just letting people be. All That We Are will show how anger, how oppression, makes people come together and how in that repressed state we’ve blossomed. We’ve turned a negative into something beautiful.”

All That We Are runs at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre May 30-June 30. The opening reception is June 2 from 2-4pm. Denise Brown and Colin Curtis will give an artists’ talk on June 9 at 1:30pm.

Events are free and all are welcome. Brown, also a poet, will be reading at Read Out Loud at the Gibsons Public Library June 8 at 2pm. For more information on Pride Month events visit: prideguide.ca

Read Out Loud

On Saturday, June 8, 2 pm, the Gibsons Public Library is proud to host the fifth annual Read Out Loud, the LGBTQ2 literary series founded in 2015 by Anna Nobile and Andrea Routley.

This year’s Read Out Loud features visiting author Ahmad Danny Ramadan and local poet and artist Denise Brown.

Originally from Saskatoon, Denise Brown has lived in Gibsons since 2016. Inspired by many hours in the garden, Brown’s poetry reflects a connection to nature and its importance to a sense of well-being, self-acceptance and belonging. She reads from her chapbook, “When Chaos Stops to Catch Its Breath.”

Ramadan is an award-winning Syrian-Canadian author, public speaker and LGBTQ-refugees activist.

Since his arrival to Canada as a refugee, Ramadan published his debut novel, “The Clothesline Swing” (Nightwood Editions), which was longlisted for CBC Reads.
