In a dusty, massive chest in the basement of a home in Tacoma, Wash., retired University of Victoria psychology professor Charles Tolman found a key.

Not a real, physical key, mind you. A metaphorical one. It was the key to completing the puzzle of the Sooke Flowline – a massive engineering feat in the early 1900s that is the foundation of how the Capital Region gets its potable water, even to this day.

He didn’t know that’s what he’d found, though.

“There were all these old photographs,” says Eric Tolman, Charles’ son, who teaches social studies at Belmont secondary and has made a film about his father’s book, Bringing Water to Victoria, recently published by the Sooke Region Museum.

Many of those photographs were of his great cousin, Harry Huston Crawford, an engineer from Missouri who worked on

railroads in the early 1900s. Crawford, Eric says, needed a break from building railroads, so he took a job in a faraway town called Victoria to work on a pipeline project while he was on his way to Alaska, because he thought it sounded interesting.

It turns out Crawford was something of a documentarian. He took hundreds of photographs and made books of notes on the project. Charles took these documents, cross referenced them with source material from the time period – such as archived newspaper articles and other documents – and fleshed out the story of how the Sooke Flowline came to be.

Curators at the Sooke Region Museum were thrilled when they discovered these pieces of our region’s history had been found, and were happy to help Charles turn his meticulous research into a book.

The decision to get Victoria’s water from Sooke Lake was

driven by the fact that the Goldstream lakes were, at the time, controlled by the Esquimalt Waterworks Company (EWC). Politicians of the day determined that water should be a publicly owned resource, rather than bought and sold.

The water in Beaver and Elk lakes, piped to homes and businesses at the time, was not of a high quality and people were calling for a solution, with the

population growing.“Once Victoria decided to go

to Sooke Lake (for their water), they first had to find a way to get the water from there to Victoria, obviously,” Eric says.

They had to build a concrete flowline – essentially a series of short concrete sections of tube, four or five feet wide and four feet in diameter, grouted together one by one along the length of the route.

This route was far longer than would have been ideal, as they had to go around the property owned by EWC. The engineering feat of making it run on a more or less constant decline, to allow gravity to take effect, was extremely complicated considering the crude surveying equipment of the day.

7x2MARVEL _ ENTER WIN

Building self-esteem in non-traditional waysWest Shore mom not your typical pageant winner


Colwood resident Carol Scheidl isn’t who people picture when they hear the term “beauty pag-eant winner.” She’s the first to admit that.

Then again, the pageants she’s been winning aren’t what most people think of when they hear that term, either.

Sheidl is 52, a four-year survi-vor of ovarian cancer and a beau-tiful human being making her way in the world the best she can.

It all started about four years ago, when her daughter Robyn was in Grade 11 at Belmont sec-ondary.

“She had been bullied really badly and we needed to do some-thing,” Scheidl says. “Her self-esteem level was really next to nothing.”

A friend suggested they enter Robyn in what are known as “nat-ural pageants” that were gaining in popularity over on the main-land.

A natural pageant isn’t like what you see on TV, Sheidl explains.

“There’s no makeup – or very little and only for the older girls – no fake hair, no fake lashes, no fake tans, none of the big cupcake dresses or anything like that.”

They entered Robyn in one and Sheidl says the atmosphere was so welcoming and supportive that her daughter took to it imme-diately, “and she really started coming into her own.”

By the next year, Robyn was

trying out for school musicals, making friends and actually enjoy-ing life. She went on to be named Miss Vancouver Island 2013/14 at the Miss BC World pageant, and is now in Vancouver attending university.

Someone then suggested to Scheidl that she enter a pageant, as well.

“And I said, ‘Oh, seriously. You’ve met me, right?’”

She has always been self-con-scious of her appearance, she says, and the thought of entering a pageant would have been morti-fying if it weren’t so ridiculous.

Scheidl thought about it for a while, laughing at the thought itself, but eventually decided it wasn’t as ridiculous as she’d orig-inally thought.

“I’m no longer going to live a life of regrets,” she decided. “I’m not going to live a life of ‘I could have’ and ‘what if?’”

So she entered. Just for fun.She wanted to see firsthand

what it was like to be on the stage her daughter had come to love.

Pageants have age categories. Sheidl was placed in “18+.”

“I was the oldest one on that stage by 30 years,” she says, laughing.

But she had the crowd in the palm of her hand. She brought something to her performances that most do not – the fact that she wasn’t taking herself so seri-ously and was obviously there just to enjoy the experience.

Her “Sleepwear” category rou-tine, for example, was her in a big

fluffy robe and giant bunny slip-pers with her hair in curlers.

And then the accolades started rolling in.

She was happy when she placed third in “Talent,” for which she performed some Shake-speare. Then it was announced that she got the top score in “Rock Wear” out of all 60 competi-tors, “and that was pretty cool,” she said. “I kinda liked that.”

She picked up a few other awards along the way, but the kicker was when she won “Miss Palooza,” which was the top prize at the event – called Pageant Palooza, a combination of a group of pageants held in Vancouver.

Amber Snow of Surrey, who has become friends with Scheidl over the past few years – their daugh-

ters were in pageants together as teenagers – says watching Scheidl break onto the stage was simply inspirational.

“I have issues with self-esteem and public speaking, myself,” Snow says, “so to see her get up there so confident, and then win, makes me feel as though my own insecurities really are silly. Watching her be so fun, carefree, natural and comfortable with both her age and her body, well, it was just very empowering. “I want my own daughter to be as happy and comfortable with her-self as the woman I saw on stage that day.”

When Scheidl shared her story about battling cancer and other health issues, Snow says, the audience was in tears while Scheidl herself was calm and composed.

“I aspire to let go of my own insecurities and learn from strong women like Carol.”

So what does the future hold for Scheidl?

Well, she’s going to continue to attend natural pageants here and there, just for the fun of it, but she’s hoping to focus more on her career as a character actor.

“I’ve had a few bit parts in things and done a few commer-cials,” she says, “but I’d really like to pursue it more. I guess we’ll see how things go.”

She also would like to get into anti-bullying advocacy and self-esteem-building.

“It would be great if I could get into some classrooms and tell my story, so that people can see first-hand that life isn’t about being beautiful, but about the attitude you have.”

With an attitude like Scheidl’s, nothing can keep you [email protected]

Mighty Garage Sale a staple of Metchosin community lifeArnold LimNews staff

Metchosin is about to get mighty. The 16th annual Mighty Garage Sale

returns to the rural community May 23 and 24, raising money and awareness through one of the West Shore’s biggest garage sales of the year.

Metchosin Community Association board member Johnny Carline said the event, fea-turing thousands of donated items, is living proof of how the people here get behind their community.

“We get thousands of people coming out and they spend the week (before) cleaning

out their garage and the week (of) filling up their garage again,” he said, laughing. “It has become an amazing community event … they are great fun.”

Carline said the event is the MCA’s big-gest fundraiser of the year. The approxi-mately $16,000 raised in 2014 accounted for half of the association’s annual budget.

“It’s one of those special days of the year you put on the calendar, and if you have visitors from out of town, you don’t apol-ogize. You say ‘you’ve come on the right weekend.’”

The MCA helps host and fund numerous programming initiatives, including main-taining the Metchosin Community House,

subsidizing seniors and parents programs, and working with the art and music com-munity in Metchosin.

Carline, a former chief administrative offi-cer for Metro Vancouver and a Metchosin resident of four years, said the weekend event will see everything from power tools and clothing to old records and other “trea-sures” up for sale. All items are screened and priced before being placed on one of the dozens of tables put up for the thou-sands of guests expected. The hope is to raise more than $15,000 again this year, Car-line said, adding he hopes similar commu-nity support will help them get there.

“It’s just an opportunity to browse the

equivalent of a massive shopping mall, but instead of a mall, it is a massive outdoor garage sale,” he said. “It would take weeks to see an equivalent range of goods going to (individual garage sales).”

Donated items can be dropped off to the tent at the Metchosin Community House parking lot, 4430 Happy Valley Rd., between 10 am. and 2 p.m. until May 22. Items not accepted include old shoes, mattresses, baby chairs, exercise equipment, TVs, pil-lows, soiled clothing and large appliances. For a full list, visit metchosincommunity-house.com. The garage sale runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The water ended up in a reservoir, Humpback Lake – which did not exist before the project – at which point it was pumped the rest of the way to Victoria.

“It was a huge, huge undertaking,” Eric says. “The engineering feat of actually putting this thing together and turning the tap on for the first time is just an amazing story.”

The film Eric made of his father’s book, he says, was a way for them to bond on another level, around their mutual appreciation for history.

Charles’ wife passed away last summer, “and so he put his heart and soul into this thing as a distraction,” Eric says. “This film was a way for my dad and I to get together, pore over photos and explore our love of the past.”

“As far as drinking water is concerned, Victoria, British Columbia, is one of the most fortunate cities in the world,” begins Charles’ preface to the book. “Getting from the dubious sources of water available to the newly established Hudson’s Bay fort in 1843 to the secure supply that we now enjoy from Sooke Lake has taken a complex, at times tortuous and convoluted path. It is this path

that is sketched in this book.”It’s not an easy read, Eric admits.

It explores not only the technical aspects of the project, but the political factors and personalities involved.

It is, however, an integral part of our region’s history and he’s happy to see it come to fruition.

Bringing Water to Victoria is available at many local booksellers, as well as the Sooke Region Museum itself. Eric’s film can be found on YouTube by searching “Bringing Water to Victoria.”

One hundred per cent of the profits from book sales go to the Sooke Region Museum.

“He did it strictly for benevolent reasons,” says Eric. “He just loves history and wants to help share it.”

The 100th anniversary of the taps coming on in Victoria happens May 28. Watch for event announcements soon.

Hard-working cast and crew bring unique version of Shrek to lifeArnold LimNews Gazette staff

Audiences are being wel-comed back to a familiar swamp.

Shrek The Musical is coming to the south Island for the first time, as Four Seasons Musical Theatre brings the loveable green ogre and his friends from Broadway to Langford starting Friday (May 22) for their biggest and greenest production to date.

“It’s a great honour to bring the show to our audience. It is by far one of the most ambitious shows produced by Four Sea-sons and one that I’m glad to be a part of,” said director Jim Goodman.

He looks forward to showing off the sights and sounds of a colourful fairy tale world at the Isabelle Reader Theatre, and points out that audiences are in for a some surprises.

“We’ve been keeping a num-ber of our costumes, sets and props under a tight lock and key so as to not give away any of the show’s secrets.”

Despite a modest production budget, he said, the hard work and dedication of the cast and crew will be evident.

“One of the things that con-stantly surprises me when directing is the talents that peo-ple have,” Goodman said. “For some, it’s their first show ever. The talent that they bring to the production – be it performing in the show or doing things behind the scenes – that passion and dedication is phenomenal.”

A.J. Hildebrand plays the lead character, his first starring role with the all-ages theatre company. He looks forward to bringing the required layers to the affable ogre, with whom he shares some personality traits.

“It’s a unique opportunity to play something that is very close to home for me. He is a very stalwart, stoic character that doesn’t allow people in very easily,” he said. “By nature I’m quite an introvert, so it’s easy to slip into the method acting. Like Shrek’s quest, it’s a chance to step outside the comfort zone and challenge myself in the same way he gets taken out of his comfortable swamp and gets into the wind-swept adven-ture with Donkey, and eventually Fiona.”

Joining him on the adventure are Sasha Moriarty-Schieven as

Donkey, Julie French as Princess Fiona and Nathan Black as the evil Lord Farquaad. They and the rest of the cast and crew have dedicated themselves to the project and each other, in a way Hildebrand hasn’t seen before.

“The best part of this process is the feeling of family,” he said. “These people are the warmest, most genuine people. Even if I were to go to a bigger budget (show), I would always come back (to Four Seasons) because I really love them. It’s the little things that matter, but they do it in a big way.”

Shrek The Musical runs May 22 to 31 at the Isabelle Reader Theatre in Langford. Tickets and show times are available online at fsmtheatre.ca or by calling 250-478-0329. [email protected]

EDITORIALOUR VIEW

It was 2008 when word first surfaced that B.C. farmland was being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon offset.

Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British-based global manufacturer of household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen. For comparison, that’s about the size of downtown Vancouver from 16th and Oak to Stanley Park.

Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use intended for fruit, ornamental or nursery trees, no permission was needed. And to meet the carbon offset rules of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, a 100-year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles office.

Goodbye farmland.After that deal, the B.C.

government changed legislation in 2011 to require permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to make these covenants valid. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for that process to be tested.

It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another 7,000 hectares of cleared farmland from Prince George down through the Cariboo to Quesnel. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking

these acquisitions, and she says there are more deals in the works.

Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “global head of sustainability,” telling her that “the planting of trees on centrally located and productive agricultural lands is not appropriate” and would weaken local farm economies.

Wood responded that the RB Trees project targets only “marginally productive” land such as pasture, abandoned farms

or those that have been up for sale for long periods.

Former Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson raised the issue in in 2008, noting that Crown land near Vanderhoof had been sold for farming, bought by a numbered company and then “flipped” for around $1 million to RB Trees.

Now mayor of Quesnel, Simpson takes issue with the company’s claims with his usual shyness.

“It’s bull----,” he told me. “This isn’t marginal land.”

He said it includes prime alfalfa fields and historical ranch and forage crop lands. In one case, neighbours found out about the new use when they saw a helicopter spraying herbicide to prepare the area for tree seedlings.

In the Cariboo as in other rural B.C. areas, aging farmers want to retire and young people keen to

work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there is pressure to sell.

Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farmland from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions.

What happens when these forests burn? The first big forest fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon offset value?

How’s that European carbon trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective, and Interpol investigating various schemes to game the system.

Remember B.C’s own Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value to say the least.

Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere?

And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

Farmland sacrificed for climate change

Visit by Mulcair not surprising

If anyone doubted whether the federal election campaign is in full swing, those doubts were erased with the return to the Island last week of NDP leader Tom Mulcair.

It’s not uncommon for party leaders to make surprise appearances in locales far from the halls of Parliament between sessions in the House, especially in election years. Mulcair’s presence at events in Ladysmith and Mill Bay and a major rally in Victoria on Thursday was without a doubt timed well, an attempt to surf the orange tsunami created by the reality-check win by the provincial NDP in Alberta.

Having the leader in town – it was his second trip to the Island in two months – no doubt boosted the public exposure to NDP candidates running in the reconfigured ridings of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford and Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke, as well as Victoria, although all three have an NDP MP in their existing state.

But let’s not forget that the NDP has fluctuated in national popularity since it roared to official opposition status in the 2011 election, thanks mainly to huge victories in Quebec.And there was clearly work still to be done in B.C., where Stephen Harper’s Conservatives took 21 of 36 seats – the NDP won 12, despite the popularity of then-leader Jack Layton – and received almost 50 per cent of the popular vote.

The Island, which has long been a provincial NDP stronghold, has three of its five federal seats flying NDP colours at present, with Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May (Saanich and the Islands) and longtime Conservative MP and current cabinet minister John Duncan (Vancouver Island North) the exceptions.

Mulcair’s timing to revisit the Island to pound home the message that his party is the only one with a hope of defeating Harper makes sense following the Alberta NDP win, but is also a sign the NDP is concerned about losing voters to the Greens, some pundits say.

Whatever the reason, whenever federal leaders come to town they tend to make people stand up and pay attention. And that’s a good thing for the political process in general, no matter what party they represent.

‘Aging farmers want to retire; few young people are anxious to replace them.’


LETTERSVanishing wetlands and trees are a major concern

Further to recent stories in the Gazette about proposed devel-opments in Colwood/Langford, I suggest that a tree protection bylaw is required in our area. This would help in shaping our communi-ties for a brighter future.

I am sure our citizens would be in favour of having trees and wet-lands dealt with in a different manner than currently. All one has to do is drive along Latoria Road to see clear-cut properties, where wetland areas are being drastically reduced or have disap-peared due to infill.

Colwood and Langford councils seem to be in a great hurry to scoop in revenue and are allow-ing land developers almost a free-for-all. Over and over it appears that councils are not taking local area voters’ voices into consideration on develop-ment density concerns. Petitions with hundreds of signatures are cast aside. They are not realizing what they are allowing to be created for our future.

I suggest Dogpatch will resurface. It will appear in a different form. High density can create its own special needs. Civic leaders (land use and plan-ning committee members) should open their eyes and see that allowing a raping of the land does not lead to a healthy outcome. A tree protection bylaw would be a start.

Years ago Saanich enacted a tree protec-

tion bylaw, which allowed such developments as Broadmead to be created. The Happy Valley and Latoria Valley areas don’t seem to have a hope. Will Bear Mountain be renamed Bare Mountain? Do we want to cre-ate a Surrey or a Broadmead?

Jim CoatesColwood

Developments along Latoria Road

are contributing to serious

environmental concerns: reader.

Metchosin bucks trend with ‘no’ on Suzuki documentWest-Mont Montessori students

brought forward the David Suzuki Foundation’s Declaration for a Healthy Environment for endorsement by Metchosin council May 11. It has so far been endorsed by 10 of 13 CRD municipalities. Metchosin is the only one so far to say “No.”

The Declaration is a non-binding, ‘visionary statement,’ which seeks to encourage governments to consider environmental consequences in all their decision-making.

More than 100 countries have

such an initiative enshrined within their constitutional rights.

While the Declaration regrettably did not pass at Metchosin council, the principle received strong support from councillors Moralea Milne and Andy MacKinnon, who spoke with commitment and passion about our obligation to leave our children a future at least as good as what we enjoy now.

As Coun. Milne noted to the dispirited students: adversity builds character. Don’t give up!

Sr. Shamrocks’ opener tonight

It’ll be a different look for the Victoria Sham-rocks this Friday (May 22), when the defending Western Lacrosse Association champions kick off their 2015 season against Island rivals, the Nanaimo Timber-men, at The Q Centre.

Key roster additions this spring have been offensive threat Dan Dawson, a five-time national Mann Cup champion and former Sham-rock; hardnosed defender Rory Smith, winner of the past two Cups with the Six Nations Chiefs, including last year against Victoria; and the re-signing after a year’s absence of former Shamrock stalwarts Cory Con-way and Nolan Heavenor.

The Shamrocks, who lost just three games in 27 regular season and playoff starts last year, are clearly gearing up for a run at the Mann Cup, which is held at the home of the WLA champion this season.

Nanaimo is looking to improve on a last-place season in which the T-Men won just four games.

Friday’s game gets underway at 7 p.m. in Col-wood. The two teams hit the floor for the rematch on Sunday for a 7 p.m. game at Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo.

Take Care Outdoors…in all Seasons!

The eye is somewhat protected against UV rays by the eyelid, the eyebrow, the orbit, the nose and the cheek. However, if you are outdoors a lot, in very strong sunlight, or near water, snow and ice, you need extra protection. Wear a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen or proper clothing to protect your skin. If you don’t, you may be getting too much UV radiation. If this happens only rarely, it could just mean sore eyes and a painful sunburn lasting a day or two. If you make a habit of not protecting yourself, all year round, you risk developing eye and skin problems when you’re older.

Experts estimate more than half of our UV exposure occurs by the age of 18. Children’s eyes are also at risk because the lenses of their eyes block fewer ul-traviolet rays. That’s why young children should play in the shade between 11 am and 3 pm, and always wear hats with wide brims to cover their heads and shade their eyes. Of course, other types of sun protection are important too. Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen and proper clothing. Even if the day is hazy or cloudy, you can still get a sunburn from UV radiation.

Teenagers and adults may wish to discuss appropri-ate types of sunglasses (prescription or non-prescrip-tion) with their optometrist. Parents can inquire about sunglasses for young children.

BECOME AN EARLY CHILDHOODEDUCATOR IN LESS THAN A YEAR



The GBC Golf Academy at Olympic View recently added another feather to its already impressive golf cap.

The academy was named one of 20 National Junior Golf Development Centres by Golf Canada, the governing body of ama-

teur golf in this country.“We were recognized as one of the five

facilities (in B.C.) that met the program requirements, which was pretty cool,” says Olympic View general manager Randy Frank. “It aligns very well with our facility and community objectives, including being a welcoming place for players of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.”

The designation is the top recognition by Golf Canada that a facility has every-thing needed to instruct golfers from the first time they pick up a club right through to becoming elite players – including com-prehensive coaching support and top-level

education programs.Golfers as young as four can pick up the

sport at Olympic View.“They’re called Little Bogeys,” Frank says.

“It’s pretty cute. Their golf bags are as big as they are.”

He says the club has been working hard the past few years to build the game amongst youth.

Olympic View has sponsored three local elementary schools, and director of instruc-tion Jeff Palmer has supplied them with equipment, instructing their physical edu-cation teachers in how to teach golf, and doing anything else required to help ensure

there’s some backfill coming through the ranks of the golfing world.

“We’re trying to build the game,” Frank says. “It’s important to keep the younger generations involved, otherwise in 20 years we won’t have anyone playing. And it’s a great sport for them to pick up. It teaches great ethics and etiquette, and work ethic and manners, and how to act respectfully towards others. We recognize that we need to do our part to try to build the game, because it’s important.”

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase

of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for

our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from

the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more

revenue for their product. And Government will

collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend

on programs such as health care, education and

other services that benefit all British Columbians.

Plus, we can invest in new training programs and

create new jobs for our youth.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

- Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of B.C.

In an effort to sup-port the local tourism industry, Tourism Vic-toria is putting its own staff services up for auction block during the Spring Travel Auc-tion.

The auction, in its 20th year, includes travel packages, such as a seven-night Rocky Mountaineer Canadian Rockies experience, a three-night pamper package at the Fair-mont San Francisco and a VIP day at the Butchart Gardens, among other things.

This year, Tour-ism Victoria has also added human capital to the auction, includ-ing two hours of a con-tent marketing special-ist’s time to consult on improving social media strategies, two hours of a visitor council-lors’s time to consult with guests of a hotel or B&B helping them make the most out of their stay and two hours of a chief mar-keting officer’s time to brainstorm with a busi-ness.

“The tourism indus-try in Greater Victoria and beyond has been very generous with offers of great tourism products to support Tourism Victoria’s spring online travel auctions,” said Paul Nursey, CEO of Tour-ism Victoria.

“All funds raised go right back into market-ing Greater Victoria to potential visitors. There are some amaz-ing deals to be had on the travel auction; start your bidding today and have fun!”

Lacey Sheardown with UsedVictoria.com, an auction sponsor, said the fundraiser is a great way to sup-port the local tourism industry.

“UsedVictoria.com is an active community partner and we see the value in support-ing Tourism Victoria’s semi-annual travel auction, as Tourism Victoria is one of the biggest contributors to the local economy,” she said.

The auction runs now until May 31. To place a bid, visit gobid.ca.

Free Blue Box replacement for Capital RegionAuction to benefit region’s marketing

Kendra WongBlack Press

Residents in the Capi-tal Regional District will no longer have to pay for replacement or new recycling boxes.

As part of the dis-trict’s renewed con-tract with Emterra Envi-ronmental, residents looking to replace dam-aged blue boxes or new

homes in need of them will receive the boxes for free.

“Under the previ-ous contract, the CRD purchased blue boxes and then sold them to customers who wanted more blue boxes and there were a series of retailers that sold them,” said Russ Smith, senior manager, envi-ronmental resource

management. “Under the new con-

tract, the requirements require the collector to be the repository to supply replace-ment boxes or to new homes.”

To request a new or replacement blue box or blue bag, call 250-385-4399.
