Early plans for Belmont shopping centre availableProperty owned by Sobey’s will be new home to Thrifty Foods and more Don DescoteauNews Gazette staff

Property owner Sobey’s is stay-ing rather mum on its plans to develop the former Belmont sec-ondary property on Jacklin Road in Langford.

But a Victoria real estate com-pany is already putting out the feelers for tenants that could

accompany anchor Thrifty Foods in the major commercial project, a 200,000-square-foot development tabbed the Belmont Market Shop-ping Centre.

Site plans on an online market-ing brochure on the website of CBRE Victoria illustrate a “Town Centre” style layout with a road-way running through the centre of three main commercial sections. The Thrifty Foods store is shown on the east side of the property, roughly where the skate park used to sit.

The brochure lists Belmont Market spaces as offering “high ceilings and attractive storefronts”

and sizes from 1,200 square foot units up to a 38,000 sq. ft. anchor tenant space.

It estimates the expected occu-pancy date for the first phase of the development to be July 1, 2017.

Asked to comment on the proj-ect given the presence of the detailed online marketing materi-als, Kari Scobie, Sobey’s commu-nications manager for Western Canada, shed little extra light on the project.

“We are excited about the new Belmont Thrifty Foods location and look forward to sharing more information on the development

with the community and our cus-tomers further into the planning process,” she wrote in an email.

The brochure also shows a series of residential buildings rim-ming the commercial develop-ment on the eastern edge of the land Sobey’s purchased in spring 2014 from the Sooke School Dis-trict. It states that 330 residences are proposed to be built adjacent to the shopping centre.

Langford Coun. Denise Black-well, informed of the online mar-keting campaign for the property by the Gazette, admitted it’s been some time since she has looked at the comprehensive development

zoning that council approved around the time the sale was announced. But she was not aware that the company had made the City aware of any concrete plans at this point.

Nonetheless, she said, hearing that Sobey’s plans for the land might be getting closer to becom-ing reality is a good sign.

“It is definitely an exciting pros-pect for the city, so the sooner we see it getting going, the better as far as we’re concerned,” she said.

The plans and renderings of the proposed shopping centre can be found at cbrevictoria.com.

Planning portion of Langford’s budget sees a decreaseReducing carbon emissions targeted as top priorityKatherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff

Reducing Langford’s environmental impact is on the top of the priority list for at least one of the City’s committees.

Langford’s planning, zoning and affordable housing com-mittee recently reviewed a draft five-year financial plan for 2016 to 2020 and was asked by City staff to rank outlined priority budget items to help prioritize capital purchases, projects or new staffing requests.

Coming out on top of that priority list was community energy and emissions reduction. In each of the past three years the City has budgeted $20,000 to fund research, proj-ects and policy updates to keep Langford current with changing provincial mandates relating to climate change, energy conservation and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The same amount was proposed for 2016, although the staff report noted only a fraction of budgeted

funds have been spent to date. That report advised that at some point in the future it may become necessary to purchase carbon offsets, at an estimated cost of just under $19,000 to more than $22,500 per year.

“It’s a priority,” said Coun. Denise Blackwell, chair of the planning, zoning and affordable housing committee. She noted the City has signed the province’s Climate Action Charter, which committed Langford to becoming carbon neutral in its corporate operations. Blackwell said City staff members are working with the province to calculate the City’s greenhouse gas emissions profile and will be looking at ways to reduce it once that is done.

Some other key initiatives outlined in the 2016 financial plan for the planning services department include: a pro-posed review of Langford’s Official Community Plan (OCP), a comprehensive update of zoning bylaw No. 300 (a bylaw to regulate the use of land, buildings, and structures as well as the provision of parking/loading spaces, screening and landscaping), film commission funding and continuing the beautification grant program.

The second item on the priority list is film commission funding, followed by the zoning bylaw rewrite and the OCP

review. She noted the budget for continuing beautification projects was moved to the parks department.

“The (planning) budget is in pretty good shape,” Black-well said, noting they did not make any recommendations to remove items from the proposed budget and a number of the items up for review or rewrites can be done by staff members to help save costs. “The things we’re planning to do is what we think we can afford.”

Langford’s five standing committees are currently going over proposed department budgets and making recom-mendations on what should be included or potentially cut. The budget in its entirety will go before Council to approve before the end of the fiscal year in the spring.

That proposed financial plan for the planning services portion of the City’s 2016 budget is just over $830,000. In 2015, just over $1 million was budgeted, representing roughly 1.5 per cent of the City’s total 2015 operating bud-get, which was $73,774,100.

According to the staff report, this roughly $220,000 decrease may be attributed to a one-time contribution to the M’akola Housing Society ($200,000) for their project on Goldstream Avenue in 2015, a reduction in the amounts

budgeted for the Official Community Plan and zon-ing bylaw rewrite (down to $15,000 from $30,000) and an adjustment in budgeted amounts for afford-able housing to more accurately reflect expendi-tures. The budget for 2016 includes a general 1.5 per cent cost of living increase.

It is estimated, according to that staff report, that planning services are roughly $36,000 below budget for 2015. Expenses (relating to the planning function as a whole) are estimated to be approxi-mately $140,000 (roughly 13 per cent) below bud-get and the net cost of the planning function (total cost less recovered costs from fees, grants and reserves) is estimated to be approximately $96,000 lower than what was budgeted for 2015.

The Administration and Finance Committee reviewed the general government net budget last week, which saw a proposed increase to over $3 million, up from the 2015 net budget of just under $2.8 million. Some of this increase was attributed to the transfer of asset management from the capi-tal budget to operating, reduced business licence revenue and additional software licence fees.

Sex offender arrested Police are warning parents to monitor their chil-

dren’s online activity and to take this opportunity to discuss the danger of online communication with strangers, after convicted sex offender, Aaron Craig, was arrested in Colwood on Monday.

The Victoria Police Department issued a state-ment last week, warning that Craig posed a signifi-cant risk of harm to young women and girls, and asked for the public’s help in locating Craig, 28, who was wanted on an outstanding warrant for breaching the conditions of his bail.

The local detachment received a report from a citizen who had spotted Craig at roughly 10:40 a.m. on Monday, walking on a trail near Wishart Road in Colwood.

West Shore RCMP and a Victoria Police Depart-ment dog handler located and arrested Craig in a parking lot at the corner of Sooke and Ledsham roads in Colwood shortly after receiving the tip.

Craig has been convicted of the sexual interfer-ence of a person under 16 and of communicat-ing via computer to lure a child under 16. He is currently facing charges and awaiting trial for 15 offences.

Curling update comingTomorrow’s (Jan. 21) West Shore Parks and Rec-

reation’s board of directors meeting goes at 7 p.m. in the lower clubhouse of the facility in Colwood.

One item on the agenda that is sure to catch some residents’ attention is an update on the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling “Elite 10” (set to take place in March at The Q Centre).

While the public will not be able to weigh in, the board will also be electing a chair, vice-chair and finance chair, as well as possibly making standing committee appointments during the meeting.

Making learning more fun for familiesFourth annual tour breaks down learning barriers for parents and kids of all ages Don DescoteauNews Gazette staff

As many parents will attest, learning takes place in a multitude of ways.

That’s part of the objective behind the Family Learning Tour, a free, multi-faceted event that sends parents into the West Shore community with their children to discover new activities and resources.

Under the theme of Let’s Play Together, this Saturday’s (Jan. 23) fourth edition of the Tour offers a range of family friendly creative outlets, ranging from working together on art of various kinds, taking apart electronics and build-ing with Lego, to playing, listening and dancing to music.

Past events have given Your Literacy Connection Westshore, which oversees the event, a good sense of the type of information and activities people are looking for.

“What’s come up often is get-ting families out together in the community, trying something new that they can actually take home with them, whether a resource or something they haven’t tried before,” says Shantael Sleight, the organization’s literacy outreach co-ordinator.

“It’s those little tidbits that plant

the seeds for something more to grow.”

While programs for younger children and their parents are regular features of the Tour, it’s equally important to provide activities for teens and tweens, she says.

For example the Digilab session, being hosted from 10 a.m. until noon at the Juan de Fuca branch of the Greater Victoria Public Library in Colwood, includes insights into moviemaking and building.

“Teens are actually the ones making the program plan,” Sleight

says. “Whether it’s art or com-munications or building or music … they do the planning and deliver the workshop as well.”

The project’s community part-ners, who also include the West Shore Parks and Recreation, the Greater Victoria YM-YWCA, Pacific Centre Family Services, Victoria Conservatory of Music and Pen-insula Co-Op, understand the con-cept of making learning fun and not something you have to drill into young people, she adds.

“There are subtle ways you can get across learning and knowledge

which is not intimidating.”Thus, the emphasis this year on

play.That can include something as

simple as baking a recipe with your parents and learning about measuring cups, which, contrary to the beliefs of some youth, counts as math.

“It’s embedded in what you’re doing; it’s not like homework,” says Sleight. Also an artist, she will host an all-ages creative session involving tinkering and exploring art materials from 11 a.m. until noon at the West Shore Child,

Youth and Family Centre gym at 345 Wale Rd. “We need the struc-ture and formal systems, but we also need to put some value on what we’re learning on a daily basis.”

The number of Family Learning Tour sites has been pared down to nine this year to allow families to get to more of them.

The Tour runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Find locations and session details at sookewestshoreliteracy.ca by clicking on the Family Learn-ing Tour link.

Adults and children alike have fun at the Pacific Centre Family Services Association’s take-apart learning station during last year’s Family Learning Tour. The annual community event, coming up Jan. 23, is about more than just reading and writing, says co-organizer Shantael Sleight. This year’s theme of Let’s Play Together aims to teach ways of learning various skills through fun physical activities.Photo by Carol Sherwood

Treatment plant cost-sharing concerns continue at CRDColwood councillor pipes up on issue, but status quo maintained by committeeChristine van ReeuwykBlack Press

While the west and east com-mittees agreed to stick with the status quo in cost apportion-ment, the decision wasn’t rubber-

stamped by the core area liquid waste management committee.

Last week, committee member and Colwood Coun. Cynthia Day hoped to table the item on cost apportionment for a month, “until we have a better idea of what we’re intending to share and what the implications may be,” she said. “We have not provided full information, so making this deci-sion would be premature.”

Many Colwood residents have voiced fears over unfair financial implications to city taxpayers of any sewage treatment solution

that involves putting a plant in Colwood, especially when only 25 per cent of residents are hooked up to sanitary sewer lines.

In the wake of some big numbers last month, CRD staff offered the Eastside and Westside wastewater treatment and resource recovery select committees alternate cost-sharing formulas to those histori-cally used in the region. Generally, infrastructure is paid for by the municipality that benefits most.

“We need something to take to the public,” said Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt, who added, “We can’t

have constant delay.”Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen

argued against Saanich Coun. Vic Derman’s suggestion that the “option we choose will inform whether it’s fair.”

“I’m not sure that’s terribly fair to the public,” Jensen said. “One of the concerns the public has is how much it’s going to hit them in the pocketbook. The vast major-ity of people, that’s their first question. If it’s going to change, it should change now, and when we go out to the public … we can be honest with them about how

much it’s going to cost.”Five directors voted to delay

while eight moved the cost appor-tionment forward.

Saanich Coun. Susan Brice noted both Eastside and Westside saw the numbers and had “ful-some debates” and that the num-bers are likely to change. “This issue is not about the size of the pie. This issue is about how to divide up the pie,” she said. “The process of divvying up the pie … was one we were comfortable maintaining.”[email protected]


Chocolate gala looking for daring chefsSavoury dishes to raise awareness for good causesKatherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff

Calling all chefs that like to tantalize tastebuds with the sweet and savoury taste of the cocoa bean while supporting local women furthering themselves through education.

Soroptimist International of Victoria Westshore is looking for chefs to participate in its second annual Flavour of Chocolate gala fundraiser event on Saturday, April 23 at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa in Langford.

“It’s a really cool concept,” said Soroptimist club member Deb Alcadinho, the event organizer and fundraising co-chair. “It’s a total foodie event.”

Up to six chefs will go toe-to-toe, vying for guests’ votes with their chocolate creations. But if that isn’t enough to satisfy one’s taste buds, after

the competition Sooke Harbour House’s renowned pastry chef, Matthias Conradi, will prepare a deca-dent dessert to finish off the evening meal.

Two chefs have already signed up for the chal-lenge, including Westin Bear Mountain executive chef Mark Wadsworth, and last year’s event win-ner and Chopped Canada finalist Toivo Heyduck from Stewart, B.C.

“They provide their labour, ingredients and their time,” Alcadinho said, adding chefs will be pro-vided with a $300 stipend to help with some of the costs. They’ll also bring a beverage partner to the gala dinner to pair the perfect libation with their creation.

“For foodies, they can really engage on a dif-ferent level,” she said. “It’s very much a social, interactive event.” Despite the name, she added, Flavour of Chocolate isn’t “a total sweets fest.”

Chefs will prepare savoury small-plate creations that include elements of either chocolate or cocoa beans. These dishes are larger than tapas, but smaller than a main course.

“Their dishes were exquisite,” Alcadinho said of last year’s competition. “This is not a simple dish on a plate. They’re quite complex.” Some of last year’s creations included jerk chicken and choco-late pasta.

Along with a champagne reception, the culinary competition and decadent dessert, the Soropti-mist club will present three financial awards to young women to help further their education. The evening also includes a performance by a classi-cal music trio and a silent auction to help support the club’s three signature projects: Imagining Pos-sibilities, a one-day conference aimed at teaching life skills to women aged 15 to 24; Anney’s Closet, which provides donated household items for at-risk women getting a fresh start, and the many financial awards to help women fund their educa-tion.

“Our whole mandate is to support women to reach their full potential,” Alcadinho said. “Edu-cated women will change their family dynamics (and) their communities. It just has a ripple effect.”

If you’re not a chef, but want to see what these chefs have cooked up, she recommended purchas-ing tickets early, as last year’s event sold out a month in advance. “It was a huge success.”

For more information or to purchase tickets, go to flavourofchocolate.com or if you’re an inter-ested chef, email Alcadinho at [email protected].

Grey day leaves little colourA view of Thetis Cove and View Royal neighbours’ docks revealed many shades of gray on a rainy Sunday afternoon. More of the same is predicted for the rest of this week, but as this is Greater Victoria, the sun can come out at virtually any time.Don Descoteau/ News Gazette staff

This Saturday (Jan. 23) the Belmont secondary theatre plays host to an evening of dance in some of its many forms.

Members of the high school’s dance program will perform a variety of dances, from hip hop, jazz and lyrical to contemporary.

EDITORIALOUR VIEW

In the early days of this new year, readers have advised me to do several things. I’ll go with one that seems relatively painless, embracing the “sunny ways” of our new federal government and seeking optimism in these fragile times.

For starters, we have a building boom going on in the southwest. Here in Victoria, cranes dot the skyline as new residential-commercial projects emerge from bedrock, and hardhats are mostly on construction workers, scratched and backwards, rather than shiny and forward on politicians.

Shipyards are busy, with Royal Canadian Navy work and cruise ship refits to reduce their emissions, plus work on ferries, tugboats and barges.

Most of the activity is private investment, much of it in a hot housing market. Surrey has just recorded its second-highest total for building permits in history, a value of $1.46 billion nearly matching the pre-recession peak of 2007.

Thousands of provincial employees get a small raise in February, based on stronger than forecast economic growth in 2014. It works out to $300 a year for a medical technologist and $346 for a teacher.

Health care costs are rising less dramatically. That should ease the crisis atmosphere at provincial and federal health ministers’

negotiations over the funding formula, taking place this week in Vancouver.

Health Minister Terry Lake announced last week that the province is increasing funding for a promising program in cancer research, using genetic analysis to improve targeting for drugs to treat the hundreds of different cancers diagnosed in B.C. patients each year.

The B.C. Cancer Agency’s new director, Dr. Malcolm Moore, oncologist Dr. Janessa

Laskin and Dr. Marco Marra, director of the agency’s Genome Science Centre, described a world-leading centre of research that is reaching out to specialists and their patients across the province and attracting international funding and talent for ground-breaking research.

Outside the urban regions, where retail sales and real estate mainly drive the economy, sunny ways are harder to find. The mining and natural gas sectors are in the grip of a slump in commodity prices, with more temporary closures expected.

The forest industry is being helped by the low Canadian dollar and a steady recovery in the U.S. economy, and tourism is expected to have another strong year as Americans take advantage of a discount on visits to B.C.

Central 1 Credit Union broke down the regional employment numbers for B.C. in 2015, and

found job growth in every region except the Cariboo. Provincewide employment grew 1.2 per cent last year, ahead of the national rate. That may not sound like much, but compared to Alberta’s oil-dependent economy, it’s pretty good.

Construction of a new dam on the Peace River is expected to ramp up this year, bringing workers home from Alberta, and the federal government is planning to fast-track its promised infrastructure spending to create work across the country.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett was in Toronto last week to ring the opening bell at the stock exchange with B.C. mining industry representatives.

Not much sun on mining stocks these days, but Bennett’s sales pitch to an investor luncheon included reference to two more mines under construction in northwest B.C., the province’s Pacific Rim trade advantage, and revenue sharing with First Nations that is attracting attention of other provinces.

The Conference Board of Canada has forecast that B.C.’s economy will “lead the country by a wide margin over the near term,” with unemployment declining in 2016.

We’re at the mercy of global forces, but things could be a whole lot worse.

Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Things that are going well in B.C.

Time to update health funding

Meetings being held this week in Vancouver between Canada’s provincial ministers of health and federal Health Minister Jane Philpott and her staff will likely take on the feel of a contract negotiation.

Especially in the case of B.C., which absorbs more retirees than any other province in the country, and along with them, their increasingly complex health-care needs.

The problem is, a portion of the federal health care money designed to provide care for such people does not transfer with them when they change residences.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake will be making that point as he and his provincial counterparts get their first audience with the new government today and tomorrow. Last week he reiterated our province’s beef with the health care funding formula adopted by the former Conservative government in 2011, that it was based on population, with no age component.

We agree with his argument that because health care costs increase as people grow older, a per-capita formula makes for a non-level playing field between provinces such as B.C., which is relatively older, and Alberta, which is younger.

Not only is B.C. finding the need to increase the number of hospice beds for terminally ill baby boomers who are native to this province, that situation is made more critical with people moving here to retire. Greater Victoria, in particular, welcomes a large number of retirees who appreciate the region’s mild climate.

The old formula for calculating federal health care transfer payments to the provinces was instituted by the previous Liberal government under former prime minister Paul Martin, a guy who knew more than the average person about what the feds could and could not afford. In 2004, they instituted a program that would see annual increase to provincial health transfers of six per cent, a solution Martin at the time called “a fix for a generation.”

The formula was changed by the Conservative government after 2011, when health care increases were tied to economic growth, with a minimum increase of three per cent per year, to begin in 2017.

In B.C. before the new Liberal government was elected last year, Justin Trudeau promised to add another $3 billion to the health care budget to start, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate the formula.

We hope the two sides can come up with a fair plan that works for today, not 2017 or beyond.

Columnist’s logging protest pieceattracts varied reader responses

Re: Avatar sequel bombs in Walbran (B.C. Views, Jan. 13)

Thanks for Tom Fletcher’s piece in which he chastised folks who don’t realize that trees are a renewable crop. As he points out, Avatar had an anti-capitalist message. Unfortunately, the anti-capitalist folks have no idea what capitalism really is.

The general basis of capitalism is described in Adam Smith’s 1776 book, The Wealth of Nations. Smith was describing a system for generating the most good for the most people. His book was not titled The Wealth of Greedy People.

Over the last hundred years or so, the form of capitalism being practised is a nasty sub-set called Utilitarianism. This is an immoral system promoted by Milton Friedman and the Chicago school of economists. Friedman actually wrote: “Few trends could so thoroughly undermine the very foundations of our free society as the acceptance by corporate officials of a social responsibility other than to make as much money for their stockholders as possible … If businessmen do have a social responsibility other than making maximum profits for stockholders, how are they to know what it is?”

People who are suffering under the current system might suggest that Friedman and

his disciples should consider moral and ethical guidelines such as The Golden Rule, which appears in almost every body of religious thought in the world. Rotarians promote the concepts of service, truth, fairness, goodwill and mutual benefit.

Fortunately, there are capitalists who are trying to introduce ethics and morals to corporate officials who have been trained by Utilitarian professors. I recommend the Caux Round Table (cauxroundtable.org/) and the Global Financial Integrity Program (gfintegrity.org/) to anyone who would like to improve the prevailing corporate culture.

Sierra Club fights backfor forest protection

Re: Avatar sequel bombs in Walbran (B.C. Views, Jan. 13)

According to Tom Fletcher, “an employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently co-ordinating media and protesters” regarding logging in the Walbran Valley

He’s referring to me. Far from lurking, I’m proud to be campaigning with Sierra Club BC to save the some of the last significant stands of unprotected old-growth on Vancouver Island. (And, to correct but one of the many misleading or false claims in

Fletcher’s piece, Sierra Club BC is entirely independent.)

Fletcher’s diatribe reveals him as Teal Jones’ willing stenographer, uncritically regurgitating the logging company’s talking points. Fletcher and Teal Jones may believe it is morally and ecologically acceptable to cut down these magnificent trees and destroy complex, delicate ecosystems. Sierra Club BC doesn’t, and nor do the majority of British Columbians, who support concerted action to defend endangered old-growth trees, wildlife, a stable climate, clean water and clean air.

British Columbians know that these things form the life-support system of our planet and support long-term prosperity and a diverse economy, including sustainable second-growth forestry for current and future generations.

A growing list of independent reports from B.C.’s Auditor General, the Forest Practices Board and even a Liberal MLA highlight the need for urgent action to save our forests.

It’s long past time for the provincial government to reverse the damage done when it gutted the rules governing logging.

Fourteen years of trusting corporate interests to manage our forests with little or no oversight has got to stop.

Mark Worthing Sierra Club B.C.

Re: SoCred Bennett’s legacy not so rosy (Letters, Jan. 13)

Thank you, Ted Roberts, for putting some perspective into Fletcher’s right-wing B.S.

The Bennetts of this world are the main reason for the slanted playing field in favour of the one per cent.

I noticed that you were to polite enough not to mention Bennett’s court case for insider trading.

Is homeless solutionjust duct tape?

I cannot help but wonder what Premier Christy Clark is thinking if her definition of finding homes for the Victoria courthouse tent city residents is opening a shelter until the end of April. What are they supposed to do after that?

Maybe she should try staying in a homeless shelter for one week or try living on welfare for one month. Next winter they will have the same

homelessness issue to deal with again, because they won’t have done enough to solve the underlying causes, which are not always substance abuse or laziness.

Premier Clark’s half-baked solution to homelessness is not unlike Uncle Red’s of the Red Green Show: fix everything with duct tape.

Our premier and her government literally fixed a problem with duct tape.

Sooke School District conducts business as usual as BCTF dispute heads to nation’s top court

Tom FletcherBlack Press

The B.C. government’s 14-year legal battle with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation over staffing levels will go one last round at the Supreme Court of Canada.

The top court announced Thursday it will hear the union’s appeal of last year’s decision by the B.C. Court of Appeal that the province didn’t violate bargaining rights with its 2002 legislation set-ting class size and special needs support.

Education Minister Mike Ber-nier said the long-running dispute won’t disrupt efforts to continue cooperation with teachers, and the latest five-year negotiated

settlement shows “government’s relationship with the BCTF has never been better.”

The agreement came in 2014,

after a long, bitter strike that saw the government send out $40-a-day child care payments to 230,000 families for 13 school days

lost due to strike action in the fall.

Teachers Federation pres-ident Jim Iker said the lat-est appeal offers a chance to restore the 2002 class size limits and specialty teacher ratios, but the union won’t

wait for another court proceeding to press its demands.

“A month from now, the B.C. Liberal government will deliver its 2016 budget,” Iker said. “Enrol-ment is starting to increase after years of decline and we know that there are more students with spe-cial needs, refugee students and others with unique needs entering the system.”

Bernier declined to comment

on the details of the case, with another court action on the hori-zon.

“B.C. students rank first amongst all English-speaking countries in reading, science and math in inter-national testing,” Bernier said. “We will keep working with the BCTF so students benefit from making our great education system even better.”

CRD awards kitchen scraps contract

The Capital Regional District has awarded a contract to D.L. Bins Ltd. for hauling and processing kitchen scraps.

The contract runs from March 1, 2016 to Feb. 28, 2018, at a rate for 2016 of $114.50/tonne, which results in an estimated annual savings of approximately $250,000 over the previous contract.

Annual contract costs are projected to be up to $1,145,000 per year with tipping fee revenue expected to cover 96 per cent of the hauling and processing costs.

Enviro-Smart Organics in Delta and Fisher Road Recycling in Cobble Hill as the main processing subcontractors.

A landfill ban on kitchen scraps was implemented in the region last January.

Grizzlies put togetherseason’s best road tripClub sandwiches two BCHL wins around unexpected detour, postponed game

Don DescoteauNews Gazette staff

It wasn’t so long ago that the Vic-toria Grizzlies were hard pressed to come away with anything close to a .500 mark on a multi-game road trip.

While their record away from The Q Cen-tre is still not stellar (8-12-1-0), the B.C. Hockey League team continues to improve on its road perfor-mance. Last weekend the club chalked up a pair of wins, 7-2 Sunday in Sur-rey against the Eagles, and 4-2 in Prince George on Friday against the Spruce Kings.

The Grizzlies, 5-1 in their last six away games and winners of five straight overall, might have emerged from the weekend 6-1 in their last seven had Saturday’s game in Chilli-wack not been postponed. The team bus was detoured on Highway 97 due to an accident near Boston Bar. As well, the bus ran into tire problems that had to be addressed. The game will be rescheduled.

Joseph Visconti had his best game of the season Sunday, scoring twice and setting up two more goals to almost double his point total. He now has five goals and four assists.

The Grizzlies built period leads of 3-0 and 5-0 before Surrey’s Brett Stewart got his team on the board 23 seconds into the third. Visconti, with his second of the game, and P.J. Conlon, with his 14th of the season, made it 7-1 by the 15:52 mark of the period.

Victoria defenceman Kevin Massy amassed a goal and three assists on the night to match Visconti’s output, while other goals came from Mitchell Barker, Dante Hahn and Tyler Welsh.

Grizzlies head coach Craig Didmon gave No. 1 netminder Matthew Gala-jda a much-deserved game off, allow-ing backup Mitchell Benson some playing time. Benson didn’t have a lot of work on the night, but kicked out 18 of 20 Eagles shots.

The Grizzlies road trip began with a hard-fought win over the Spruce Kings. Defenceman Cody Van Lierop scored the eventual winner with just under six minutes to play in the sec-

ond period, breaking a 2-2 tie with a shot from the point

that appeared to deflect off the stick of Kings winger Connor Logan. Cole Pickup and Massy got the assists.

Logan, a Victoria native and former

Campbell River Storm junior B player, got his

team on the board 2:25 into the second period, mak-

ing it 1-1. Welsh had opened scor-ing with a goal from Pickup and Con-lon about five minutes into the first.

The locals made it 2-1 with a power play goal from Chong Lee less than three minutes later, but Grizzlies defenceman Brett Stirling returned the favour at the 7:15 mark, scoring as Braiden Epp sat serving a rough-ing penalty. Stirling finished off a passing play from Van Lierop and Welsh.

With his team having kept the Kings at bay through the third, Barker scored an empty net goal from Stirling with 10 seconds to go.

Galajda made 27 saves for his and the team’s fourth straight win.

The Grizzlies are in the midst of almost a week off game time, return-ing to action this Saturday (Jan. 23, 7 p.m.) at The Q Centre against the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

Bear tracks … Tickets are still available for the Grizzlies’ Jan. 27 exhibition game against Red Bull Sal-zburg under-20 team. A welcome lun-cheon featuring guest speaker John Grisdale, longtime commissioner of the BCHL, takes place at noon that day at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa. For $50, you’ll receive one seat to the luncheon and two tickets for the game. Visit the Grizzlies office in The Q Centre or the front desk of the Westin to purchase. For more information call 250-385-1555 or visit victoriagrizzlies.com.

Minor hockey rep playoffs just around the corner


A big win on home ice Sunday will likely make the difference between first and second for the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies bantam Tier 2 rep hockey team.

A 4-3 victory over Cowichan Val-ley at The Q Centre in Colwood gave the locals an 8-2-2 record in the Vancouver Island Division 1 league, leaving them tied in points with Comox Valley (7-1-4). While those two teams amazingly tied each of their three meetings this regular season – the first tie-breaker is head-to-head games – the Grizzlies were expected to be awarded top spot by virtue of their one additional win.

“We’re pretty confident that we’ve done enough to win the first-place banner,” said Grizzlies team manager Doug Estey after Sunday’s game.

Connor McClelland, Craig Phipps, Dayton Clarke and Jaxon Krupa scored for Juan de Fuca, who led 2-0 after the first period and scored two more goals in the third after the visitors tied the game at 2-2. The Capitals pulled within one with a goal at the 17:35 mark of the third, but couldn’t beat Grizzlies goaltender Jayden

Polard after that.McClelland and Krupa also had

one assist each, while teammate

Brayden Friesen set up the first two goals.

Next up for the Juan de Fuca squad is the south Island playoff round robin, which are expected to get under-way the weekend of Jan. 30 and 31. The top two teams from that competition advance to the Island semi-finals against the top two from the north Island.

Looking ahead, Estey said the Grizzlies will likely see the Peninsula and Saanich

Tier 2 teams, and the Victoria Rac-quet Club Tier 1 team in the south playoffs. All three of those teams competed in the Division 1 league this season.

“We’re quite competitive with Peninsula Tier 2, and very com-petitive with Saanich and Racquet Club,” Estey said, noting that his team has played each in either tournament, exhibition or pre-sea-son tiering games. “I’m fairly con-fident if we play like we’re capable of playing, then we should have a good chance of winning (the

round robin).”The team’s regular season

title would be the second Island regular season banner won by a Juan de Fuca Association bantam team – the Tier 1 Grizzlies (11-0-1) clinched first in Division 1 with an 5-3 win over Saanich T2 on Jan. 8. Meanwhile, the Tier 3 Grizzlies (6-3-1) were awaiting the result of the Saanich T3 and Kerry Park T3 game Sunday to see whether they finished second in the Island Div. 3 league.

Home win yields top spot in Div. 2 for Grizzlies bantams

Juan de Fuca Grizzlies Tier 2 bantam forward Reid Fitzpatrick (10) and Cowichan Valley’s Connor Caskenette look to control a loose puck during Sunday’s Vancouver Island Division 2 league game at The Q Centre. The Grizzlies, playing their final regular season contest, won 4-3 to take top spot in the league in a tiebreaker over Comox Valley. The two teams tied in each of their three meetings this season, but Juan de Fuca had more wins overall.Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff


Bulldogs senior boys are left to wonder what if?

Having lost their opening round game 52-49 to eventual runner-up Port Moody, the Belmont Bulldogs were contemplating where they might

have otherwise finished at the Pitt Meadows Air-show senior boys basketball tourna-ment.

The Bulldogs fol-lowed up on Friday with a pair of solid efforts, a 92-83 win over North Delta and a 74-51 victory

against Charles Hayes of Prince Rupert, but fin-ished in the lower half of the 12-team event.

“We really should have beat (Port Moody), but turnovers and lack of rebounding on our end really hurt,” said Bulldogs coach Kevin Brown.

Mount Boucherie from Kelowna won the cham-pionship game Saturday, 85-70 over the Lower Mainland team.

A bright spot in the tournament for Belmont was Jackson Leeder being named to the all-star team after scoring 15, 41 and 27 points. Brown noted that Luke Baloran and Dontae Bull were also very consistent in their play throughout the weekend.

The Bulldogs were scheduled to host Claremont yesterday (Jan. 19) in Division 1 city league play, then host Lambrick Park next Tuesday.

Royal Bay boys play back-to-backComing off a 56-46 win over Glenlyon Norfolk,

the Royal Bay Ravens senior boys were set to open their week yesterday with a home game against Stelly’s. The Ravens travel to Mount Douglas today (Jan. 20) for a 7:30 p.m. game against the Rams, who entered this week’s Div. 2 league play unde-feated at 6-0.

Royal Bay carried a 3-2 overall record into the Stelly’s game, good for fourth place.

Belmont Bulldogs’ Isla Swanwick, who earned an all-star team spot at the Totem 61 tournament in Port Alberni earlier this month, leads her team into the latter half of the city AAA senior girls basketball league regular season. Belmont hosts the city championships in February.

Senior girlsgain good experienceHoops teams see varied levels of success

The Belmont Bulldogs are looking to gain some ground this week in the city AAA senior girls basketball League play.

The Bulldogs, who dropped to 1-3 for the season in regular season games after losing 64-35 at Oak Bay last week, were scheduled to host Stelly’s yesterday (Jan. 19, after the Gazette print deadline), then play Mount Doug at Claremont tomorrow at 5:45 p.m.

Earlier this month the Bulldogs senior girls finished fourth at the Totem 61 tournament in Port Alberni.

After dropping their opener to Mark Isfeld from Courtenay, they rebounded to post two straight wins. Isla Swanwick, who averaged 17 points per game over the tournament, was named to the all-star team, while Cassy Allen, Madi Bullen, Claire Church also played key roles on offence.

At Royal Bay, the fledgling senior girls team is still finding its wings, having yet to win in league and local exhibition play. The Ravens head to St. Michaels University School tomor-row (Jan. 21) for a 5:45 p.m. game.

“We really should have beat (Port Moody), but turnovers and lack of rebounding on our end really hurt.”

Why the questionsDoc?

Occasionally a patient is uncomfortable when I ask personal questions. A column like this gives me a chance to explain the reason for unusual questions that an optometrist may ask you.

Every optometrist wants to know the reason for your visit. This is known as the “chief complaint.” However, to accurately determine if you are at risk of any eye diseases, a full “case history” has to be taken.

General health questions about you and your blood relations are important. Many illnesses can affect vision. You’d be wise to bring a list of any medications you take. Many medications have potential visual side effects.

Optometrists always ask about your occupation and hobbies to determine how you use your eyes. Then we can make suggestions as to which type of glasses and/or lenses would provide you with the best visual performance at work and play.


Minor hockey rep playoffs just around the corner


A big win on home ice Sunday will likely make the difference between first and second for the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies bantam Tier 2 rep hockey team.

A 4-3 victory over Cowichan Val-ley at The Q Centre in Colwood gave the locals an 8-2-2 record in the Vancouver Island Division 1 league, leaving them tied in points with Comox Valley (7-1-4). While those two teams amazingly tied each of their three meetings this regular season – the first tie-breaker is head-to-head games – the Grizzlies were expected to be awarded top spot by virtue of their one additional win.

“We’re pretty confident that we’ve done enough to win the first-place banner,” said Grizzlies team manager Doug Estey after Sunday’s game.

Connor McClelland, Craig Phipps, Dayton Clarke and Jaxon Krupa scored for Juan de Fuca, who led 2-0 after the first period and scored two more goals in the third after the visitors tied the game at 2-2. The Capitals pulled within one with a goal at the 17:35 mark of the third, but couldn’t beat Grizzlies goaltender Jayden

Polard after that.McClelland and Krupa also had

one assist each, while teammate

Brayden Friesen set up the first two goals.

Next up for the Juan de Fuca squad is the south Island playoff round robin, which are expected to get under-way the weekend of Jan. 30 and 31. The top two teams from that competition advance to the Island semi-finals against the top two from the north Island.

Looking ahead, Estey said the Grizzlies will likely see the Peninsula and Saanich

Tier 2 teams, and the Victoria Rac-quet Club Tier 1 team in the south playoffs. All three of those teams competed in the Division 1 league this season.

“We’re quite competitive with Peninsula Tier 2, and very com-petitive with Saanich and Racquet Club,” Estey said, noting that his team has played each in either tournament, exhibition or pre-sea-son tiering games. “I’m fairly con-fident if we play like we’re capable of playing, then we should have a good chance of winning (the

round robin).”The team’s regular season

title would be the second Island regular season banner won by a Juan de Fuca Association bantam team – the Tier 1 Grizzlies (11-0-1) clinched first in Division 1 with an 5-3 win over Saanich T2 on Jan. 8. Meanwhile, the Tier 3 Grizzlies (6-3-1) were awaiting the result of the Saanich T3 and Kerry Park T3 game Sunday to see whether they finished second in the Island Div. 3 league.

Home win yields top spot in Div. 2 for Grizzlies bantams

Juan de Fuca Grizzlies Tier 2 bantam forward Reid Fitzpatrick (10) and Cowichan Valley’s Connor Caskenette look to control a loose puck during Sunday’s Vancouver Island Division 2 league game at The Q Centre. The Grizzlies, playing their final regular season contest, won 4-3 to take top spot in the league in a tiebreaker over Comox Valley. The two teams tied in each of their three meetings this season, but Juan de Fuca had more wins overall.Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff


Pamela RothBlack Press

In a perfect world, the dry dock at the Victoria Shipyards would

always be full and Joe O’Rourke could run 800 staff per day.

But after 30 years of working in the shipyard industry, he knows that’s never going to happen. O’Rourke is happy with the amount of work that’s come in to the shipyard (owned by North Vancouver’s Seaspan ULC) since he arrived from Portland, Ore. 10 months ago to take the reins as

general manager. But he’s also actively bidding on a lot more commercial work, specifically aiming at markets in the U.S. due to the low Canadian dollar.

“I feel confident that Victoria Shipyards are going to continue to grow, albeit on a cycle. Some years are down versus others just because there’s only so much in that market you can grab,” said

O’Rourke, noting the first six months of the year are busy, but after that the workload is fairly light.

“We’re trying to fill the gaps as much as possible.”

Compared to previous years, the work at the shipyards has been fairly stable. Six years ago, a lack of contracts dropped the number of workers significantly, but one year it reached as high as 1,200. O’Rourke expects to have 550 to 600 direct people working on vessels in the future.

Much of the stable work is due to the frigate and submarine program with the Royal Canadian Navy, which has been a consistent source of revenue for the last five years with contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars. According to O’Rourke, the navy work (under

prime contractor Lockheed Martin Canada) involves part modernization (with new combat systems) and part life expansion.

There is never a day that employees don’t have some job they’re working on that takes at least 100 tradespeople.

The shipyard’s workforce rarely, if ever, falls below 300.

“You want to take a vessel and make enough improvements and bring it up to a standard that’s going to extend its life out,” said O’Rourke, adding there are many changes to sensor and weapon systems.

During the peak of the program, 485 workers were employed – including many who reside on the West Shore – but that number now hovers around 350. After 11 months, work on the fifth frigate, HMCS Regina, will be completed this spring. After that, O’Rourke said the shipyards will continue to do work off and on for the navy thanks to a contract that runs through 2018. The navy submarine HMCS Corner Brook is also now in the yard and will be brought up to date with the latest systems during the next two years.

“It (work) won’t be as high as it was before, but it’s still going to be very substantial and more substantial than it was prior to the modernization program,” said O’Rourke, noting the shipyard is

like a glorified gas station with a repair function.

“It (the shipyard) is not a factory that processes things. To some end your work load is determined by what’s available, by what the customer will give you. You can go and seek more markets, but there are periods where nobody has repair needs so you train your organization that it’s ready to go down to 350 people or max back up to 1,000.”

The large graving dock at the shipyards can hold three small vessels or one large cruise ship – a lucrative industry the company has also managed to tap into.

In December, the Ruby Princess was pulled into the dry dock with a refit contract worth around $5 million that employed as many as 330 people. Putting in 10 to 12 hour shifts every day, workers had 10 days to install two giant

emission scrubbers and replace the bow thrusters.

Adding to the pressure of an already intense job with tight deadlines, the work was done in some of the worst weather O’Rourke has worked in. Crane services were taken down seven times in 10 days due to safety reasons.

Ruby Princess was the third cruise ship to have scrubbers installed in the Victoria Shipyards. Two more cruise ships are scheduled for work in April and May, and another two are booked in the fall of 2017. The shipyards also do general commercial work with B.C. Ferries, tow ships, fishing vessels and barges.

The work with the navy’s frigate modernization program has also been noticed overseas. Negotiations have yet to be finalized, but starting in 2017 the New Zealand navy would see the first of two aging frigates updated in Victoria. Each ship is expected to be here for about six months, providing 300 to 400 jobs during that period.
