Neighbours of a composting facility in Cen-tral Saanich may rest a little easier after the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) sent a letter to the operation that determined Foundation Organics is classified as being a non-farm use of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The much-needed clarification on the acceptable use of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) when it comes to com-posting was made public last week and outlined some reasons why the ALC found Stanhope Farm and Foundation Organics in contravention of the Agricultural Land Com-mission Act. Included in the letter was infor-mation detailing that the 40 hectare property (34 hectares of which were available after use for access roads and farm buildings) was only ever capable of having 2,125 tonnes of compost applied to it.

Peninsula News in briefEnforcing the rulesNORTH SAANICH — Mayor Alice Finall says the District of North Saanich council has been too lax in its enforce-ment of public participation rules.The mayor said at the Nov. 4 regular meeting that she will do more to ensure people stick to the allotted time, are from the municipality and if they have any side conversa-tions they will be asked to take it outside.

Employers battle transport and taxes

Steven HeywoodNews staff

Issues of affordable hous-ing, transportation and tax-ation continue to plague industry on the Saanich Pen-insula and one of the area’s biggest employers says it’s the key to keeping good peo-ple at work in the commu-nity.

Greg Ramsay, president of Ramsay Machine Works, gave the keynote address during the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce’s 2013 Tour of Industry. After speaking on the company’s efforts in building a giant coal conveyor for Neptune Termi-nals in Vancouver, Ramsay addressed questions from the crowd at the Mary Win-spear Centre.

“What are the main chal-lenges to your doing busi-ness on the Saanich Penin-sula?” asked Wendy Everson, a Sidney lawyer and chair-person of the annual Tour.

“One challenge,” Ram-say replied,” is keeping our employees. Affordable hous-ing is needed here and with-out it, it has been tough to keep people involved.”

Seventy-five per cent of his company’s employees, he continued, live in the West-ern Communities — meaning many face issues of commut-ing to the Peninsula. Retain-ing those people over the long term remains difficult, he noted, as they will often look for work closer to home.

That leads to issues of public transportation — with limited bus service through-out the day to the West Sid-ney industrial area. Ramsay said there are an estimated 2,000 people working in that area and yet B.C. Transit

doesn’t provide enough ser-vice for workers to be able to get to their shifts at reason-able hours.

Next on his list of chal-lenges was taxes.

“Every time they go up, they have a big impact,” he said, outlining how precise the company must be on bid-ding for new projects.

Local business and indus-

try have been communicat-ing with local municipalities on taxation matters.

The key to growth, Ram-say added, is an increased pool of skilled labour — lim-ited by some of the factors he talked about.

Everson said she heard first-hand the challenges faced by some employees at Thrifty Foods distribu-

tion centre in North Saanich. As the Tour visited the site, Everson said some workers explained how transit ser-vices get them into West Sid-ney — but hours before their shift is to start.

“It’s the employees who are being very direct about transportation needs,” said Everson. “These were 20-year-olds saying they

need public transportation, but existing services don’t match up to their shifts.”

What’s needed to help fill this gap, she continued, is a mid-morning bus to and from the area.

The issues expressed by the employees and by Ramsay in his speech, Ever-son noted, are very similar to the concerns raised by local industry during last year’s Tour. Like last year, this year’s Tour was well-attended by local and pro-vincial politicians and admin-istrators. Everson hopes they were listening.

“They certainly hear about these issues each and every time they’re on the Tour,” she said. “This year, it was once again loud and clear — we had a full bus for a rea-son. People know it brings them some value.”

Everson noted that during each Tour, she hears from a lot of people — including local community leaders — that they were unaware just what goes on behind the doors of some of the region’s industrial businesses. She added this is one way the local chamber of commerce is bringing these decision-makers in touch with busi-ness and their needs.

“There are a number of challenges that are consis-tently identified each year by our participants” said Chris Fudge, Executive Director of the Saanich Peninsula Cham-ber of Commerce in a media release. “If we can start addressing these key issues, then we can take a signifi-cant step towards securing the economic vitality of this region for the future.”

Everson said the chamber plans to host its fifth Tour of Industry next year. People will have to sign up, she said, if they want to know what interesting businesses are on the tour list in 2014.

That’s much lower than the 5,000 the operation had originally stated. The ALC noted the excessive amount of compost being applied to the land would result in high nitrogen content in the soil.

“In completing this investigation of the Stanhope farm and Founda-tion composting facility located on the property, the ALC has con-cluded that the information provided in advance of its May 16, 2011 let-ter is not consistent with the cur-rent understanding of the farm and composting operation. The ALC does not believe the current composting operation is compliant with the Act and Regulation and considers that the operation constitutes an unau-thorized non-farm use of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve,” said the report.

Central Saanich Mayor Alastair Bryson, who was eager to have the ALC’s ruling handed down said he is relieved the commission came through with a decision.

“I am pleased that the ALC has finally provided this much needed clarity,” said Bryson.

“The district agrees that it is important that the ALC outright permitted composting use and the resulting amount of compost is lim-ited to a scale that can be beneficially applied to the farmland where the compost facility is located. With this ALC clarification, any operation that proposes to produce more compost than the farm can beneficially apply to the land will necessitate an appli-cation to the ALC for a ‘non-farm use’ which would allow for a public process including input from Central Saanich council.”

The CRD had directed the facility to remove any remaining compost in the building at the facility as of Oct. 25, of which the ALC was also in sup-port of.

The report also stated that a stop work order would be issued imme-diately if the operation was to start up again without first obtaining approval of the non-farm use from the ALC.

NDP MLA for Saanich North and the Islands Gary Holman and constituency assistant Debra Hartung (from left) welcome people to the official opening of Holman’s office in Sidney Tuesday evening.

MLA office opensSteven HeywoodNews staff

It took a few months but MLA Gary Holman finally found office space in downtown Sidney.

The NDP MLA for Saanich North and the Islands officially opened his local constituency office at an open house Nov. 5. He had been working out of his legislative office in Victoria since June. Located on Fifth Street near Beacon Avenue in Driftwood Centre, the office has been busy since October when constituency assistants moved in.

“This will be a non-partisan office,” Holman told the small crowd at the open house. “People are finding us and we have a lot of files that we are already working on.”

Holman said his office, in the hub community of Sidney, will work with people who are, in general, facing challenges navigating provincial gov-ernment to receive fair treatment on a variety of issues.

“We can’t help in every case, “ Hol-man said, “but in all cases, people will get an answer from us.”

The office is open between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays.

Public input sought for five-year planKyle WellsNews staff

Island Health is think-ing about the future and wants the public’s input on what direction it needs to take.

The health jurisdic-tion, also known as Van-couver Island Health Authority, is developing a new five-year plan to help guide its activities on the road to 2018.

“We do it periodi-cally and it provides us with a strong sense

of where we’re going, what our focus and pri-orities are,” said Island Health spokesperson Sarah Plank. “It helps to guide the decisions that we make around health-care delivery across the region.”

The authority has already identified what it sees as the pressing issues coming into the next five years.

Population growth, changes and aging are all seen as factors which will influence how health care is delivered in the future.

The population of the Island is expected to rise in general, and especially in specific communities. The rapid

growth of the West Shore, for instance, is cited as an upcom-ing challenge, with the population expected to grow by 10 per cent by 2018.

Other areas, such as the West Coast of Vancouver Island are expected to decrease in population, by about 3.5 per cent.

These fluctuations could lead to a need to change the delivery model and shift services from certain areas of the Island to others.

The “uneven distri-bution of health,” as an Island Health back-grounder on the process calls it, is another con-cern. Life expectancy

for First Nations people is six years shorter than for other residents and the rates for chronic dis-ease are higher.

Remote and rural communities also have a lower life expectancy, particularly the North Island and the Port Alberni area. In these communities the rates for external causes of death, such as acciden-tal poisoning, suicide and car crashes, along with alcohol and drug-related death rates are more than double the

average for the prov-ince.

“There are a few chal-lenges,” Plank said. “We want to do things better and we also want to do better things, to make sure what we’re doing is having the greatest impact.”

Island Health is now turning to the public for input on the already identified areas of inter-est, as well as new ideas on the needs of specific regions.

“We want to hear their thoughts about

the opportunities and challenges we’re fac-ing,” Plank said. “In every community there will be different issues that will be important and that will be promi-nent. It’s not a cookie cutter, we need to tailor the services that we’re providing.”

Community open houses are being held throughout Vancouver Island, as well as Salt Spring Island.

Open houses will be held in Victoria on Nov. 26 at the Sandman Inn

(2852 Douglas St.), in Sidney on Nov. 27 at the Mary Winspear Cen-tre (2243 Beacon Ave.) and in Langford on Nov. 28 at the West Shore Parks and Recreation fieldhouse (1767 Island Hwy.). All open houses run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

A short survey is also available online at viha.fluidsurveys.com/s/ih2018.

The strategic plan is intended to be complete by this spring.

Island Health takes a peek into the future

Undersea cable pitched for clean energyTom FletcherBlack Press

A company known mostly for wind projects is reviving a proposal to connect the Vancouver Island and Washington electricity grids.

Sea Breeze Power Corp. wants to build a 50-kilometre transmis-sion cable under the Strait of Juan de Fuca to connect substations near Port Angeles and Victoria. To finance the project, it’s looking for a 10-year deal to assemble surplus U.S. power and sell it to B.C. Hydro at a flat rate of $69 per megawatt hour.

Sea Breeze CEO Paul Manson said the power purchase would finance the construction of the cable and deliver a steady source of electric-ity to B.C. at lower cost than new sources built in the province.

First proposed in 2006, the project has received environmental permits from both sides of the border. It was rejected by the B.C. Utilities Commis-sion, which approved upgrading the existing power line instead.

Sea Breeze developed a wind proj-ect at Cape Scott on northern Van-couver Island and has plans and per-mits for other wind sites on the B.C. coast and the Peace River region.

Manson said the Juan de Fuca cable would stabilize wind power supply on the B.C. coast, where wind speeds peak in winter, with inland Washington sites where it’s windiest in summer.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the Juan de Fuca cable is one of many proposals that came forward as B.C. Hydro developed its inte-grated resource plan.

OUR VIEW

Will Canada remember them?On Monday when people honour our

fallen soldiers of wars long past and those serving in uniform now,

Canadians will need to start thinking about the future of Remembrance Day and how it will remain connected to new generations.

Memories and stories of the First World War now entirely reside in photos, films and text. Those with living memories of D-Day or hunting U-boats on the Atlantic or fighting on the Korean Peninsula become fewer every year.

There will be a future not far off when students won’t be able to hear first hand from veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War why they fought for the freedoms of others.

More recently, Canadians fought and died in the mountains and badlands of Afghanistan trying nobly, but perhaps futilely, to bring peace and security to a nation with more entrenched problems than can be solved by military action.

Although that conflict certainly won’t be far from the memories of the veterans and families of that conflict, Afghanistan is also fading as a significant era for many Canadians.

Understanding our past and linking it in meaningful ways to the messages and meaning of Remembrance Day remains a challenge for our society. It will require parents and grandparents to teach their kids their family stories and personal connections with past conflicts to drive home what sacrifice really means.

Canada, to varying degrees, is ambivalent about its military and wartime history. Remembrance Day isn’t a statutory holiday in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Nova Scotia. Our southern neighbour offers two official days of the year to celebrate its veterans and to remember past conflicts.

The frontline face of Remembrance Day in Greater Victoria are dedicated Legion volunteers, a group also aging and with few new people willing to take up the cause.

For Remembrance Day to survive, the values of sacrifice, service and courage of the past need to be rekindled for the future.

On Oct. 24, I tabled motion M-460 in the House of Com-mons calling on the govern-

ment to implement an action plan to protect the remaining 81 southern resident killer whales.

These orcas have been listed as endangered under Species At Risk Act since 2003, yet no action has been taken by the federal government.

The southern resident killer whales are not only sentinels for the health of our ecosystem, but also a key part of our local economy and an iconic species for Van-couver Islanders.

Whale watching expeditions, museum exhibits, books and whale souvenirs are all central to tourism on Vancouver Island.

I want both our economy and the orcas to continue to prosper, rather than ending up with only memories of the times when these majestic creatures graced our planet and our lives.

This motion calls for action in four key areas.

It calls for continuing federal sup-port for research and monitoring programs for killer whales.

In particular this action plan would restore federal capacity to

monitor pollution in the Pacific Ocean, a capacity lost in the last round of cuts in the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. It would also

restore funding neces-sary to put whale moni-toring boats back on the water.

Second, this plan calls for implementing measures to decrease human generated noise and other disturbances.

Noise pollution inter-feres with communica-tion between whales and with prey location.

As noise pollution may be the most seri-ous threat to the future

of killer whales, this action plan calls for reducing engine noise to safe levels for vessels travelling through critical orca habitat and reductions in overall marine traffic.

It also calls for marine clean-up programs to end the harm to whales from marine debris, such as ghost fishing gear, Styrofoam and plastic.

Third, this plan calls for programs to decrease chemical pollution in the Salish Sea.

As a species at the top of the food chain, southern resident killer whales have become increasingly affected by toxins through the pro-cess of bioaccumulation.

These toxins cause cancer and affect longevity and fertility in whales, but of course these toxins also have similar impacts on our children and families since we eat the same fish and swim in the same ocean.

There are safe alternatives to almost all the toxins that are end-ing up in our local waters. We can start by switching to biodegrad-able cleaning products, minimizing the use of personal care products, properly disposing of unused phar-maceuticals and refraining from the use of cosmetic pesticides.

Fourth, this plan calls for mea-sures to increase and enhance Chi-nook stocks as this fish is the prin-ciple, and some scientists say near exclusive, food source for southern resident killer whales.

Restoring historic chinook runs will not only provide critical food for these orcas, but also provide us with an enhanced supply of local food and a boost to sport fishing.

The action plan in motion M-460 is ready to go now.

Time is running out to save the southern resident killer whales.

Lucky there was a second offer

In his gushing praise for coun-cillors Browne, Daly, McBride and Mearns (PNR Oct. 16) Mr. Stanlake ignored the fact that these same councillors because of their delaying tactics could have deprived the citizens of North Saanich of this generous gift.

Mr. Randall set a deadline for acceptance of his original offer after which, if not met, he would put Sandown up for sale. It was just fortunate there was a further offer. And, my good-ness, even if North Saanich had to pay some of the remedia-tion (Mr. Randall had originally offered $100,000), where else would one get 33.6 hectares for $650,000 which would have been recovered in taxes in a few years?

Kudos to Mayor Finall, coun-cillors McMurphy and Stock and the CAO for their vision.

From gardens to chickens

I was happy to read about the student gardens at Sidney Elementary and how the students were able to enjoy the benefits that their garden had to give.

I think it is really important for kids to connect with where their food comes from and I believe that it will help them make healthier food choices in the future.

For this reason, and for many others, I believe that the town of Sidney ought to welcome other complementary food raising endeavours into the backyards of its community. As a complement to gardens may I submit to you the chicken. She is happy to produce compost for the garden and she is also

happy to eat any garden scraps or appropriate kitchen scraps.

This reduces stress on our landfill and enriches the garden soil for better production.

Chickens also produce eggs not only in the warmer months, but all year round. I will not even delve into the large subject of sustainability and the importance of protecting our Island food supply here but will bring it back to my original praise of the Sidney school gardens. Children raising chickens in their own backyards would continue to educate them about healthy food choices, it would get them outside, it would teach them how to be responsible and care for another living thing.

I really appreciate seeing real education in the school but real education has no borders. I also believe that home is the place to begin.

Support for youthI am writing to acknowledge

and publicly thank the folks from Toys for Tots and TIDES for the unqualified support they gave to the musical youth in our community during Pumpkins of the Pier.

When they asked me to put

together an open stage event, they stressed that they wanted it to be for the young of this town and to open it up to what youth would want. It was a rare invitation and one I was thrilled to extend to as many young musicians on the Peninsula as I could come up with knowing that an opportunity to get up on a stage in the heart of your town and do what you do best is a powerful and life shaping experience.

As the Youth and Family Counsellor, at Parkland Secondary, I focus as much of my energy as possible on ‘do this’ or ‘try this’ ideas and I was delighted to see so many of Sidney’s young get up and take huge personal risks to follow their respective muse and dream. Many of the youth I work with have not necessarily been included in the relative wealth this part of the country has been blessed with. That evening I felt the community open up and invite all youth to be themselves in the most meaningful way of celebrating what they do the best.

On behalf of the musicians, a big thank-you to all the individuals who shouted encouragement and made a fine evening of it.

Sandown, local chickensReaders respond:

Sandown deal is better for North SaanichWhen I am considering committing to a

major purchase, I will evaluate the sales-person’s offer. If it is a beneficial deal for

me I will accept it. If it is a bad deal, I refuse it. If the salesperson comes back with a better offer, that will be considered on its own merits.

The original deal offered on the Sandown prop-erty would have left North Saanich residents on the hook for undetermined remediation costs on the land. Councillors Browne, Daly, McBride and Mearns had the fortitude to stand up to the pres-sure and turn this questionable deal down. What an outcry there was from the rest of council.

Sandown’s owner has now returned with a deal that is, by all accounts, better for North Saanich. I assume this offer will be accepted. The four council members’ common sense paid off for the

community.I now see letters by Councillor McMurphy and

others in the PNR comparing these Sandown negotiations to gambling.

There was no spin of an imaginary Wheel of Fortune. The only spinning here is how an unde-niable win for the community is being spun into yet another attack on Daly and Team North Saa-nich.

If I was about to make a bad deal for myself and someone came in and got a far better deal for me, I would be grateful. Perhaps, instead of using this situation to make political hay, certain people should be offering Browne, Daly, McBride and Mearns a polite thank you.

Many investors give little thought to setting a realistic time horizon over which they hope to achieve a targeted return on investment.

A targeted six per cent total annual return over a period of 10 years might be a real-istic objective for a well-diversified portfo-lio comprised of 70 per cent equities and 30 per cent fixed income. On the other hand, if that were the investor’s

objective over a brief period of only two to three years, it would be imprudent. In the latter case, the inves-tor would be ignoring the short-term volatil-ity inherent in equity investments. Over the shorter term, the inves-tor might strike gold, but equally possible, would be a big loss.

For most investors in equity markets, a mini-mum investment time horizon of five years

is advisable. Even that could prove too short.

An example: Over the five-year period ending Aug. 31, the TSX Index delivered an annualized total return of only 1.3 per cent. On the other hand, over the 10-year period to the end of August, the annual-ized total return was a sizzling 8.1 per cent. This 10-year pattern of excellent performance for equities holds true for virtually any decade

over the past 60 years.

Aside from the need to ensure a long-term invest-ment time horizon, what do these facts teach us? Principally, to take great care in our initial invest-ment choices, and then, to stay invested. Trying to time the mar-

ket by selling and buying, in hopes of benefitting from nor-mal market swings over shorter-term periods, is a losing propo-sition. If the experts can’t predict mar-ket swings

with any more than ran-dom chance, the aver-age investor is likely to lose out big time.

If an investor’s time horizon must be less than five years, it is best to dramatically reduce exposure to equity markets and to increase fixed-income holdings, such as GICs,

Bonds, Bond Funds and possibly Preferred shares.

This historic pattern of short-term equity market volatility, out-weighed by excellent long-term performance, is precisely why the younger investor can benefit from holding primarily equity-based investments. On the other hand, as retire-ment approaches, equity-market volatility needs to be moderated by holding a greater proportion of fixed income.

The retired investor, relying on a monthly withdrawal of sub-stantial funds from the portfolio, needs to be particularly mindful of

the heightened risk of equity volatility. The best hedge? An even a greater proportion of fixed-income holdings. Some equity participa-tion is usually advis-able for a retiree, in order to preserve some capital appreciation, and to protect against inflation.

The overriding les-son? Equity investing is primarily about careful initial selection, com-bined with a long-term view. The gambler may celebrate the occa-sional win, but over the long-term, he is most likely to lose.

The Sidney North Saanich RCMP, the Central Saanich Police Service and the Peninsula Panthers will join forces next week to host a ball hockey challenge with First Nations youth.

The two police forces and members from the junior B hockey team will host the event on Thursday, Nov. 14 at the Tsawout gymnasium.

The Panthers have framed a game jersey that will be presented prior to the game and organizers are expecting around five police officers from each department and around 10 members of the Panthers for the game.

“The next night, on Friday, Nov. 15, every single youth that attends the ball hockey challenge on Thursday will be admitted into the Panthers game for free,” explained Panthers hockey operations manager Pete Zubersky.

Zubersky also noted that there will be an on-ice ceremony prior to the game on Friday which will feature Connor Logan from the Peninsula Panthers and Lynden Eddy from the Nanaimo Buccaneers taking the opening face-off. Both players are First Nations.

“Connor [Logan] is currently in the top ten in VIJHL scoring and I expect that someday he will be playing junior A and beyond.

“I definitely see him as an NCAA scholarship

player,” said Zubersky, adding that he hopes show-casing talent like Logan’s will inspire youth to get involved.

“We want to demonstrate to First Nation youth and youth in general that there are opportu-

nities out there for them, they just have to chase the dream, whatever that

may be,” he said.Before the game, Addie Elliott

will sing the national anthem and Green Party interim leader and member of the Tsartlip First

Nation Adam Olsen will do the cer-emonial puck drop for Logan and

Eddy.“This event is very important to our

organization and we’re really looking for-ward to it,” said Zubersky.

“The two evenings will be very special for everyone involved, especially First Nations Youth who are the focus of our efforts.”

The ball hockey game on Thursday, Nov. 14 in the Tsawout gymnasium happens at 6 p.m. The Panthers’ home game against the Nanaimo Bucca-neers begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 15.

The first ever licensed Dementia hous-ing project in the province is celebrating its grand re-opening this week after it was expanded.

Brentwood House, located at the cor-ner of West Saanich and Stelly’s X Road in Brentwood Bay, provides individuals with early to moderate stages of demen-tia with a home-like setting that encour-ages participation in regular daily life

activities and actively involves residents in the daily chores.

Beacon Community Services (BCS) partners with Island Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority) to run the facility which officially opened in late 2007. Since that time, an additional licensed Dementia housing project, Slug-gett House (also in Brentwood Bay) was opened.

The expansion of Brentwood House adds three additional suites to the home which has been commended for keep-

ing individuals with dementia living more active lives.

“Brentwood House was created because research demonstrated that people with mild to moderate cognitive impairment performed better when they were allowed to participate as much as possible in all daily activities and main-tain more independence than a tradi-tional clinically focused care environ-ment might allow,” said a press release from BCS.

“A research study conducted by the University of Victoria validated that resi-dents of Brentwood House scored better on all indicators one year after arriving.”

“We were very proud to partner with Island Health in pioneering this revolu-tionary model of care for dementia cli-ents,” said Isobel Mackenzie, CEO for Bea-con Community Services.

“The philosophy of promoting as much independence as possible is consistent with our values that respect an individu-al’s dignity and autonomy.”

Communication StrategiesRelationships are built on good communication. When there are disruptions in communication, frustrations can result and cause serious problems in relationships. Here are some helpful tips for communicating in general, but will be especially be useful when you or your loved one has a hearing loss. • Gain the attention of your conversational partner

before starting the conversation. • Reduce background noise when possible. If you can,

turn off or mute the television or radio before starting a conversation.

• Look at your conversational partner and have your mouth and face visible. Having access to visual cues (e.g. lip reading) will help in understanding the conversation.

• Have conversations while you are in the same room as your conversational partner.

• If the message is not understood, try using different words or phrases to get your message across instead of simply repeating what you just said.

• If you are unsure of what was said, ask for clarification instead of just simply nodding your head.

• Speak slowly and clearly but try not to shout. When we raise our voices, speech becomes distorted which can make the message even more difficult to understand.

A fixture in Sidney for both vet-erans and civilians alike is look-ing for new ways to increase their membership numbers.

Even though Sidney’s Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans club sounds like it is only for veterans, it is in fact open to all citizens of good standing and has been that way for many years, said the club’s bar manager, Dion Amyotte.

“Because of the name ANAVETS people automatically assume the club is just for veterans, and while we cater to veterans we are also open for any citizen in good stand-ing to become a member,” said Amyotte.

The club, dubbed ANAVETS Unit 302, is located on Fourth Street in Sidney and currently has around 700 members. Amyotte said he sees around 150 of those members on a regular basis, along with a handful of Second World War veterans who still frequent

the club.“It’s really amazing to see those

men come out and be a part of the club. Some of the stories they have are things no one in the younger generations will ever experience,” said Amyotte.

ANAVETS is a national organiza-

tion with clubs all over Canada and individual clubs raise money for various causes through events.

Unit 302’s main fundraiser, said Amyotte, is their weekly meat draws which take place on Wednesdays, Fridays and Satur-days. Money from the meat draws

goes into the Unit’s fundraising account and is dispersed through-out the community.

This past July the club donated $11,000 back into the community to local causes like the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation, the Broadmead Care Foundation,

the Sidney North Saanich RCMP Youth Program and the Saanich Peninsula Pipe Band.

“The charitable aspect of the club is huge,” explained Amyotte.

“Members know that the money they spent on meat draws or event tickets is all put right back into the community.”

Amyotte said he’s keen on attracting new members to the club because of the camaraderie that Unit 302 provides.

“It’s a great place for people of any age to come and socialize and have fun. I think we offer a lot that people don’t know about — but it can also be hard because it is a club and I think people may feel intimidated to approach us to see what it’s all about. I always encourage people to come in and see what we have here, it’s a great place.”

Amyotte also noted that mem-bership fees for the club are nomi-nal and range from $35 (for senior veterans) to $45 dollars (for civil-ians).

“That’s less than four dollars a month,” noted Amyotte.

The not-for-profit club is open daily and hosts events like bar-becues, dances and golf tourna-ments on a regular basis. There’s also an active Ladies Auxiliary associated with the club.

For more information, call 250-656-3777.

All branches of the armed forces are being recognized in the Sidney Museum and Archives’ annual Tribute to the Military this month.

In honour of this month of remembrance, the museum has opened up its new exhibition gallery to collectors of military arti-facts, medals, documents, equipment and event art. Peter Garnham, executive director, says they rely on community members and organizations like the Army, Navy and Air Force Veter-ans Society (ANAVETS), B.C. Air Museum and local Royal Canadian Legion for the display contents.

“One year, we even had

a motorcycle and sidecar used in dispatch service in the First World War,” Garnham said.

Displays pay tribute to the service of veterans in the army, navy, air force and the Merchant Navy, as well as the efforts of people back home during war time.

“The Tribute has been going on for years,” Garnham continued.

“It seems very appro-priate to have the display on through November 11, Remembrance Day.”

The Tribute to the Mili-tary display at the Sidney Museum runs to Nov. 15.

The museum is open from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. every day of the week and admis-sion is by donation.

Sidney Museum presents its military tribute


Sidney Museum puts on its Tribute to the Military display every year in early to mid-November.


At a glance, John Bardsley can tell what a military or civilian medal was for, what country it came from and where the person who wore it earned it.

The Sidney man has been collecting medals for years and is a regular con-tributor to the local museum’s annual Tribute to the Military display during November. He says he collects them because each one comes with a tale of service — even valour.

“The fascination for me is what the medals were given for and what they signify,” said Bardsley. “some were for long service, others are battle medals and some are valour awards.

“It’s about what the medals signi-fied, what they stood for.

“That is what has always interested me about them.”

Every medal collected tells the story of a soldierMilitary collection honours how and why medals were earned

Connections made between his family and friends have opened up a supply of military collectables for Art Lyon.

Lyon owns an assortment of military items, but he is best known for his hats. A portion of his collection is currently on display at the Sidney Museum until Nov. 15 and includes Canadian, German, Bulgarian and Russian headwear from a variety of eras in time.

Lyon found he was interested in collect-ing headgear at an early age. His father Gerry was a Sergeant-Major in the Second World War and his grandfather, Lorn, was a sergeant in the artillery during the First World War (actually a blacksmith, as artil-lery in those days was pulled by horses). Art was in the militia, his dad’s brother was in the air force and he had a younger brother in the navy. There were also friends, family and workplace acquaintances with ties to various armed forces in a variety of countries. It was only natural that Art would come into possession of some hats, medals, uniforms and more.

Like other collectors, Lyon said he does it to honour the memory of his family and of the soldiers who wore the uniforms from many countries.

“I enjoy doing it,” he explained. “There are stories behind it and I particularly enjoy Canadian military history.

“It’s our heritage. Canada has fought in a great number of wars and we have a lot of

heroes.”Still an avid collector, Lyon always keeps

his eyes open for unique items and keeps track of how he came across his finds in his head. That knowledge, however, will not be

lost when Lyon calls it a day — his own son is interested in continuing the family collec-tion, meaning the stories and the history will remain alive and within the Lyon family for years to come.

Military history passed down within a familyFamily service continues through a large collection


Art Lyon of Sidney looks over some of the military hats from his collection, now on display at the Sidney Museum until Nov. 15.

His collection is well-organized and is comprised mostly of Canadian honours —

from long service med-als and bars indicat-ing rank or theatre of action, to awards for great valour — such as the Victoria Cross.

The Victoria Cross — or VC — is Cana-da’s highest award for valour and originated in Britain. They are all made from former

Crimean War cannons and the genuine arti-cle are hard to come across.

Bardsley has replica VCs and knows the dif-ference between ones from the UK and ones from Canada (the Cana-dian ones have writ-ing in Latin, as not to offend the country’s two official languages).

Even the ribbons holding each medal tells a story — mostly about where and when the hardware was earned and the reason the bearer won it.

Bardsley is most proud of the med-als earned by his own father and grandfather.

They tell the story of his family history — which helped con-tribute to his own life’s path.

Bardsley grew up in Ontario and joined the militia in St. Catha-rines. He would go on to attend Royal Military College in Kingston, then over to Queens University and eventu-ally landing in the Royal Canadian Army Service

Corps. Bardsley earned

his biology degree, went into medicine (even joined the naval reserve in the process) and served as a medi-cal officer with the Canadian Forces until the late 1980s.

“Somewhere along the way, I got the bug of collecting medals.”

His collection has waxed and waned over the years, yet there are some medals he will always hold on to — from the Boer War and the two world wars as well as some of the nation’s high-est military and civil-ian honours, such as the Memorial Cross, awarded to the moth-ers or spouses of sol-diers killed in action.

“It’s a way of honour-ing the service of many different individuals.”

A portion of Bards-ley’s medal collection is on display until Nov. 15 at the Sidney Museum on Beacon Avenue.

Honouring the service of many individuals

VICTORIA — It was not all Vimy Ridge and Flan-ders Fields. Most Canadians experienced the First World War from the homefront. A new website launched by the University of Victoria offers rare glimpses into how life in Victoria was changed dur-ing the Great War.

Stories, photographs and letters, as well as other documents related to this area during the First World War and a database with more than 6,000 service records of people from Victoria who served in the war, are now readily available to everyone, thanks to the web-based project A City Goes to War (acitygoestowar.ca).

Over the next four years, the project team expects to add 12 to 16 additional micro-history websites and hopes to expand the storytelling to other cities in Canada. A teaching package is also underway, aimed at high schools, to encourage students to explore the history of their own com-munities. — Submitted by UVic

On the homefront

Why we remember

New UVic website looks at life at home during the wars

The tradition of remembrance is observed by Canadians every year at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.

This tradition dates back to the First World War when the guns fell silent, marking the end of mili-tary conflict and the remembrance of those who would never return home. The National Poppy and Remembrance Campaign raise funds for veterans and their families, the new military and others who are disadvantaged.
