About 150 people packed Seaside centre in Sechelt on Monday night to hear may-oral candidate for District of Sechelt, Bruce Milne intro-duce some of the other can-didates who’ve registered to run in the Sechelt races, and to talk about creating change in Sechelt.

The event sponsored by Milne invited the public to help the candidates who were endorsed at the meet-ing to run grass roots com-munity campaigns, and not leave it up to the candidates to do it alone.

“It’s your campaign, you need to take charge,” Milne said, “talk to your neigh-bours, talk to strangers.”

A former mayor himself, Milne, who is also the presi-dent of the Sunshine Coast Arts Council unveiled the main points of his platform, which included running a city hall that has more open meetings, transparency on council decisions, and full disclosure of expenses.

Asking for more voices from the public, he said that scrutiny of the municipal activities should be applied across the board including

Candidates meeting fills Sechelt hall

for his own activities.“I like dissent, I like to hear

how I can do better,” Milne expressed.

The candidates Milne en-dorsed ranged from veteran District councillors to first-time candidates for mayor, and included sitting coun-cillor’s Mike Shanks and Al-ice Lutes, as well as former councillors, Ed Steeves and Alice Janisch, Jon Bell, Norm Blair, former mayor Darren Inkster, along with Terry Karkabee, Warren Allan, Kirk Exner, Doug Wright and the youthful Noel Muller.

After his presentation Milne opened up the meeting for the public to talk to the candidates and each other, and the public took advan-tage of the opportunity to discuss the municipal races with one another, spilling out onto the terrace of Seaside Centre into the warm Sechelt evening. Apryl Veld

The SCRD is undergoing a review and update of their Regional Water Development Cost Charges (DCCs) bylaws and is seeking public input.

What are DCCs? The Pro-vincial DCC Best Practices Guide defines DCCs as:

“Development Cost Charg-es (DCCs) are monies that are collected from land develop-ers by a municipality [Local Government], to offset some of the infrastructure expendi-tures incurred, to service the needs of new development. Imposed by bylaw pursu-ant to the Local Government Act, the charges are intended to facilitate development by providing a method to fi-nance capital projects related to roads, drainage, sewers, water and parkland.”

This is the first review of the Regional Water DCC by-laws and rates since they were adopted in 1997. There are three existing DCC by-laws, broken into geographi-cal regions. Bylaw No. 437 is for the Eastern Region, By-law 438 for the Western Re-gion, and Bylaw 439 for the District of Sechelt.

The consulting firm of

Development cost charges meetings coming

Opus Dayton-Knight carried out a detailed analysis and as-sessment of the DCC bylaws and prepared a background report with recommenda-tions for new rates. The draft report was presented to the SCRD Board on July 3, 2014, and has been issued for pub-lic consultation. A link to the copy of the presentation can be found at http://www.scrd.ca/DCCs

Three open houses have been scheduled as follows:

Monday, October 6: Sea-side Centre, Sechelt. This will be the primary venue and will include a full presenta-tion and facilitated dialogue session 6:30 – 9 pm

Tuesday, October 7: Egmont Community Hall. This venue will not include a presentation, but SCRD staff will be available to provide information and address questions 7 to 9 pm

Wednesday, October 8, Gibsons and Area Communi-ty Centre. This venue will not include a presentation, but SCRD staff will be available to provide information and ad-dress questions 4:30 to 8 pm.

The Internet holds enor-mous promise for selling goods and services world-wide, but many small busi-ness owners are baffled or overwhelmed by all the technology, especially when it comes to setting up their website.

Robin Leboe, owner of Coast Creative, will teach a workshop on “Setting up an E-Commerce Website” on Wednesday, September 24 at the Gibsons Chamber of Com-merce to help local business-es understand their options for an integrated software approach. The workshop, held from 5 to 6:30 pm, is free for Gibsons Chamber mem-bers or $10 for others.

An award winning web developer and online media consultant, Leboe said the

Gibsons Chamber holds two new Workshops for Small Business

workshop is about using the web for small business and e-commerce.

“E-commerce is only one spoke in the wheel for small business owners,” Leboe not-ed, “there’s more ways to use the e-mail addresses and col-lection of information they get from customers.”

Leboe said there’s lots of ways his system can assist a person to integrate all his or her web systems, collect on-line payment and send e-mail by drip campaigns.

More and more customers are using the web more ex-clusively to shop or place an order at a restaurant even, he noted.

“I can show you how to re-ally use the web as a tool for not much money, considering the return on investment,”

the web wizard noted.This workshop on

Wednesday September 24 is the first in the Gibsons Cham-ber’s fall workshop series, which includes Social Media Marketing with Al Hyland on Saturday, October 4 from 1 to 4 pm.

Hyland has previously taught workshops on Face-book and LinkedIn, and he returns to review some of that material, and then show participants how to use a dashboard such as Hootsuite to manage all their social me-dia campaigns.

Gibsons Chamber work-shops are open to all inter-ested business people but pre-registration is required. For more details visit www.gibsonschamber.com.

Teachers on the Sunshine Coast could be back in class-rooms by next week as they reached a tentative agree-ment with the province on Tuesday.

Teachers could vote to end the months-long strike between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Pub-lic School Employers’ Asso-ciation by voting Thursday to accept the deal that mediator, Vince Ready helped broker.

The wee hours discus-sions late Monday night and early Tuesday brought forth an offer from the province for a six-year contract that includes $100 million for class composition and $400 million for a learning im-provement fund for teachers, sources note.

Reaction from teachers has been positive, though some said they wished it could have been over back in June.

Students will have missed two weeks of school if they return next week.

Agreements with edu-cators not honoured

A good education system is a hallmark of a civilized so-ciety. Having one of the low-est corporate tax structures in the world, BC has lost bil-lions of dollars of revenue to corporate profits. The rest of us have to endure the auster-ity measures of reduced gov-ernment services and one of the least funded educa-tion systems in the country.I started teaching in the early 1990s, a second career for me, and it came as a shock how little teachers made. But they were good years and I remember settlements of 0-0-1 negotiated three times in row. Teachers sacrificed wages for lower class sizes and resources for special needs written into the col-lective agreement. Having worked for the Ministry of Social Services in the 1980s, I knew that when institutions were closed, those children, now in regular schools needed extra support.

After the Education Minister of the day, Chris-ty Clark, ripped up the collective agreement in 2002, the BCTF objected and the courts twice ruled that what was done was illegal. Today, teachers are still willing to sacrifice wages for class size limits and extra support for special needs.

The Liberal government’s ongoing games with educa-tion, like the $40 a day bribe, is not fooling voters. Their diatribe about no money is a result of BC’s laughable corporate tax structures and increased funding to private schools. There seems to be lots of money to subsidize the gas industry (infrastruc-ture, virtually free water usage).

Lets get back to a civilized society of tax fairness where government funds what it’s supposed to. Why should

a wealthy province like BC have to accept an impov-erished education system? Write Christy Clark and Pe-ter Fassbender to insist the government bargain in good faith or accept binding arbi-tration. For the sake of stu-dents, let’s get this settled.Gayle Neilson

Advocacy group gets funding from TOG

Dear Gibsons and beyond: I encourage you to come to our Town Hall meetings on Tuesday evenings and see for yourself what is happen-ing. Last evening it came to light that during the summer recess, Mayor Wayne Rowe, apparently without consul-tation, had given $1000 of municipal funding to a con-troversial advocacy group who has recently presented workshops that feature polarizing and hard-line speakers. When asked by a Councillor why the funding request for this group hadn’t been subject to the standard discussion and scrutiny by Council, I observed the Mayor become what I felt was extremely disrespectful and bully-ing of that Councillor. I was appalled by Mayor Rowe’s behaviour. In my opinion he brought the office of Mayor into disrepute. Perhaps it is time for a change in the leadership of Gibsons.Sandra Wrightman

NFL not even handed on issues of violence

Some may have noticed the pall of smoke lately over the great game that is NFL football. While recently at a Seahawks game, the NFL commissioner was seen sign-ing hundreds of autographs by fans eating up anything NFL and Seahawks . Its an ex-citing , fast, and violent game and people love it. So what happens when the violence

( 2 recent separate incidents of domestic violence , one dealt with by the team in question ) creeps off the field and the league tries to ignore it ? .

Well, what happens is a badly tarnished reputation calls for the commission-ers resignation (can’t see it happening as he’s made the owners a lot of money ) , and a league focused away from a game followed by many locals and millions of Cana-dians. So this is very impor-tant right? .Mark Cuban, the flamboyant owner of the Dal-las Mavericks warned about too much NFL league hubris. Many others say that money has corrupted those that should know better and that absolute power corrupts ab-solutely. Words to remember and a warning to us all.Darren Inkster

McCarthyesque inquiryThe great George debate

has now officially devolved from the merely disappoint-ing to the downright McCar-thyesque. The members of GABC (Gibson’s Alliance of Business and Community) are being asked in certain circles to name names!

The latest such request comes in a letter from N. Hache of Gibsons in the Coast Reporter, who, quite ironi-cally, declines to fully identify himself/herself!?

My commendations to The Local Weekly for declining to engage in this very scary line of inquiry, which serves no purpose and just distracts from the serious matter at hand. (For the record, I am not a member of GABC, and I don’t know who is on their membership list.)

I propose we drop these and similar lines of enquiry entirely and get back to debating the merits of the George proposal.Alan DonenfeldGibsons

This November 15, you will be electing a school board chair and trustees for the Sunshine Coast school board, and a mayor and councillors for Gibsons or Sechelt, or a chair and directors for the Sunshine Coast Regional District.

The Government of B.C. notes about municipal races: “Elec-tions are the most visible way for the public to directly influ-ence their local government.” It also advises, “they (the public) can directly influence the type of community where they re-side or own property.”

Sounds obvious enough, but it’s key that voters have per-sonal choice in something that affects our lives in major ways.

The elections are an opportunity to get to know the issues and to exercise a resident’s democratic might - in spite of your income or social standing, you can influence the process, and have a voice.

While communities have different approaches to involve-ment in campaigns and voting there is advice to be studied. Here are a few collected wisdoms for how to elect good gov-ernments from some experienced sources.

“Your job as a voter in this election is to get to know the can-didates running in your district,” says U.S. poli-blogger Bates-Line, “Will the candidate be an effective advocate for your neighbourhood’s particular needs? Does the candidate have the intelligence and experience to handle zoning and other legislative issues? Don’t be shy about calling the candidates and asking tough questions of your own.”

Susan Sherring of the Ottawa Sun interviews Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, asking his advice for voters.

“You should challenge the candidates on their positions and ideas,” Watson said, “Don’t settle for platitudes, slogans and too-good-to-be-true schemes which simply cater to the lowest common denominator; if you challenge candidates to defend their choices, we end up with stronger solutions.”

What kind of leadership is being practiced is a re-occurring topic. Running for re-election to council in Chapel Hill, Califor-nia, Laurin De Bec Easthom advised what a good mayor is in her blog; “Being able to work as a team member and support other council members is integral to the successful mayor. He or she is respectful of the council members’ opinions and al-lows sufficient time for them to make their point. The good mayor does not push the council in a certain direction that is not consistent with the majority of the councils’ position in or-der to further a personal agenda.”

Since the races are always a little edgy as they are a competi-tion of wits and marketing, try to think beyond the hype, and do a little research about the issues. And don’t forget to pay attention to the governments and school board leaders once they are in office, and hopefully you’ll get some satisfaction from having taken part in shaping the future of your town or region, and help steer the way it’s managed.Apryl Veld

Coast WatchGarry NohrChair Sunshine Coast Regional District and Repesentative for Halfmoon Bay, Area B

Next week, elected officials on the Coast will be attend-ing the convention in Whis-tler with thousands of other councillors and directors from all over the province. This is an opportunity for each region to put forward resolutions for debate, and then members either accept or defeat their requests for change.

Day one is normally an opportunity to tour local fa-cilities and attend workshops on construction, farming, recreational facilities, and li-braries of the host area. Most of the SCRD directors will be attending an all-day work-shop put on by the Squamish Nation on the development of their lands. They will also discuss the new Supreme Court rulings on First Nation traditional lands.

Day two will highlight the presentation of the socioeco-nomic study on the effects of reduced BC Ferry schedules and increased fares, which was funded by UBCM and AVICC (Association of Van-couver Island and Coastal Communities). This paper will be discussed on the floor

UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) Convention Weekof UBCM to get backing of members from all over the province. Support means that the UBCM executive will discuss this concern with the premier and minister of transportation. The board chairs of ferry-dependent communities will have a meeting at UBCM with the premier on this issue.

When resolutions are passed at UBCM it is up to the executive to take them to the different ministries in the province for consideration and possible changes in pol-icy. Any one year there could be up to 200 resolutions to debate. Some examples of resolutions:

1) Agriculture Land Re-serve & Agriculture Land Commission. Lobby for more ways to make it easier for farming and food production in BC.

2) Recycling Services in Rural and Small Communi-ties. Lobby to make sure all recycling services are avail-able for small communities.

3) Municipal Boundary Ex-tensions. Lobby to have both the area annexed and the mu-nicipality vote on any bound-ary extension.

4) Restorative Justice Program Funding. Lobby for more funding from the

province in order to better cost share with local govern-ments.

5) Direct Sharing of Proceeds of Crime. That any confiscated funds from crimi-nal action be share with the community affected.

6) Japanese Knotweed Management Plan. (SCRD) Lobby that provincial minis-tries have adequate funding to eradicate or remove this species.

There are separate meet-ings of large, medium, and small municipalities, and one for rural areas. These meet-ings allow an opportunity to share ideas and policies on anything from infrastructure to waste management.

The week ends with a message from each of the provincial party leaders. The premier’s message normally includes the provincial initia-tives for the future.

Please contact me about any of these items or other concerns at 604-741-2427 or [email protected]. I am available for discussions at SCRD or in Halfmoon Bay at Welcome Beach Market on Tuesdays at 9:15 or the Half-moon Bay store at 10 to 12 on Fridays.

Community planning for women’s economic well-be-ing is now in it’s final phase and new feedback from lo-cal women is needed. Every woman living on the Sun-shine Coast is invited to fill out the 2014 survey.

“Whether you are a new-comer to the Coast or a long term resident, we want to hear from you and we’re listening carefully.” says Mi-chelle Morton, Project Man-ager for the Community Resource Centre’s Progress Plan.

Results from the first survey in 2012 were used to draft the “Community Plan... in Progress” (avail-able at www.progressplan.ca). Women identified four key priority areas that required action. The priorities were access to: Income, Transpor-tation, Care (for children and adults) and the overall im-portance of Belonging.

During the action phase of the project, which began in May 2013, local groups have been working together to make improvements in the priority areas. Action groups are still underway and will be providing more information and updates later this fall.

The 2014 survey is now open and ready for women to provide feedback. How satis-fied are you with your cur-rent economic well-being? What has changed for you, if anything, since 2012?

Add your Voice to Women’s economic planning!

What would make the most difference? Please re-flect on your own personal situation and share your point of view

Survey results will be used in the final community plan. Tell us what needs to change so that women can fully par-ticipate in our local economy. The deadline to complete the

Coastal Economic Trust is once again providing bur-saries for up to 20 people to attend regional economic de-velopment courses and con-ferences.

“A key strategic priority for our Board is to support community participation in economic development plan-ning,” said Phil Kent, ICET Board Chair. “Providing bur-saries to enable communities to attend conferences and courses ensures that they get the access to newest ap-proaches and best practices in economic development.”

The ICET board approved funding for 10 bursaries for the 2014 Vancouver Island

Bursaries from ICET for courses and conferencesEconomic Alliance (VIEA) Economic Summit to be held in Nanaimo on October 29 and 30, and 10 bursaries for the 2014 BC Economic De-velopment Association West-ern Economic Development Course, held in Richmond from November 2 to the 5.

“Attending the VIEA Eco-nomic Summit last year was a great opportunity as it in-troduced me to people, con-cepts, and practices which I need to support economic development in our small community. Without the ICET bursary, our Village Council could not have af-forded the registration for the conference,” said Doug

Arcus, Councillor, Village of Gold River.

Eligible applicants for the bursaries must be actively involved in economic devel-opment activities in their community and can include Municipal or First Nations Band employees and council-lors, or other non-profit or-ganizations involved in eco-nomic development.

“The Western Economic Development Course demys-tified the essentials of eco-nomic development,” said Madeline McDonald, Chief Administrative Officer, Vil-lage of Port Alice.

“I was excited to take away a number of practical tools

relating to community profil-ing and the calculation of eco-nomic benefits to effectively integrate into project plan-ning for our community.”

ICET Chair Kent noted that with economic development and job growth at the fore-front of almost every local government’s agenda, help-ing communities connect with experts and share ideas is an investment in the re-gion’s economic future.

“There are success stories and things to learn whether you’re in a major metropoli-tan centre, or a tiny, remote village. Sharing those suc-cesses and learning from others - big and small - is how entire regions can cre-ate sustainable, responsible growth.”

Interested applicants should contact ICET di-rectly to discuss eligibility. Deadline for applications is September 30.

Osoyoos Chief Clarence Louie shared his stories and approach to development with a packed house at Rock-wood Centre in Sechelt on Friday night.

Louie began by defining the theme of the evening as “Pulling Together” and how that’s key to having success-ful relationships in commu-nities and building business relationships. The Okanagan entrepreneur spoke about the importance of First Na-tions in opening discussions with governments and pri-vate enterprise partners.

“We need to get back to the original relationship be-tween natives and Canada,

Chief Louie draws crowds to Rockwoodwhat was supposed to be a business relationship, with no one ahead of the other side,” Louie stated.

He noted there have not historically been many busi-ness people on reserves but that is beginning to change.

Louie is predicting expo-nential growth and devel-opment for First Nations in B.C. and nationally. Under the long-time chief’s leader-ship, the Osoyoos Band has seen significant growth thanks to their business-savvy lead-ers. Their accomplishments include developing a winery, golf course and resort, along with construction companies and many other other success-

ful enterprises on the Osoyoos Band reserve. He noted the Band started out leasing land to other wineries, “Then we decided to produce our own wines,” he noted referring to the NK’Mip Wineries, not-ing their ver popular awardd winning ice wine.

“I love it when people say I can’t believe this is a reserve,” Louie explained. On a more serious note, he reminded the guests that it takes good attitudes from all sides to make it happen, and the band takes a proactive role in en-couraging productivity in their community.

The veteran chief described the work ethic that’s required

to get projects off the ground and to find investment for the Band, “Real leadership is Where you spend your time, including your evenings and weekends.” He thanked the mayor of Sechelt, and adven-ture tour operator Candice Campo for their hospitality taking time to show him and his wife around Sechelt and Porpoise Bay.

He also emphasized how being open to business op-portunity is key to success for every kind of government.

He also emphasized how the Band makes a point to en-courage productivity in their South Okanagan community,

partially by running employ-ment programs and reinforc-ing messages about being self-sufficient and goal-ori-ented. “You deal with poverty by having a job,” he said, “and everyone has the right get a job and to better themselves,” he added, quoting iconic leaders Martin Luther King and Barak Obama.

He said people question some of the Osoyoos Band’s choices, like signing a land lease to the province to build a prison, an anticipated economic driver for the area.

“The world isn’t perfect; don’t wait for perfect,” Louie said, quoting his grandfather’s advice, “I look at the pluses and negatives.”

He said Osoyoos reserva-tion has construction busi-

nesses that are bidding contracts for work on the $200 million prison-building project, and they look forward to spin-off economic opportu-nities as well, including jobs for area residents.

Senior Manager for one of the evening’s sponsors, Sech-elt Innovations Ltd. Tracy Zanchetta opened the talk, and thanked Louie for his pre-sentation, and also thanked reps from the Sechelt Indian Band for their prayers and songs, including a multi-cul-tural sing along. Chief Louie praised the Sechelt Band for being the first Nation to have a self-government agreement, and congratulated former chief, Stan Dixon for his work toward that end. Apryl Veld

Mayor’s Message

John Henderson Mayor, District of Sechelt

Many people have come to me over the summer to say “Sechelt has never looked better!” I appreciate receiv-ing such positive messages. It is a real pleasure for me to pass on these compliments to our staff members who work so hard every day to deliver services that our visitors and residents enjoy.

Sechelt Has Never Looked Better! Sechelt’s Community Update, included in this issue, high-lights some of the projects the District has undertaken to improve how our commu-nity looks and functions.

Did you know that Septem-ber 15 to 21, 2014 is “Drive Electric Week” in Sechelt and in a number of other com-munities in Canada and the United States? This initia-tive brings attention to the convenience, clean-air and

cost-savings benefits of using electric vehicles (EVs). More and more EVs are in use ev-ery day on the Sunshine Coast.

I am pleased to confirm that Sechelt is about to be the beneficiary of a Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC) Station. This is the newest charging technol-ogy enabling an 80 per cent charge in 30 minutes for most EVs. It will make

Sechelt an even more attrac-tive place for owners of most EVs to visit. There are online applications that show the EV charging infrastructure – literally, this facility is putting Sechelt on the map, for Nis-sans, Mitsubishis, BMWs and newer Teslas!

Thanks to the generosity of Trail Bay Developments, the unit is located in the north west corner of the Trail Bay Mall parking lot. It is one

of the first to be installed as part of the Green Highway portion of BC’s Clean Energy Vehicle program. On behalf of our community, I want to thank the Provincial Govern-ment and BC Hydro for their support in providing this important and innovative facility to Sechelt.

I want to end this article with a plea to all the younger

people in our community. All of us older folks are lucky – we did crazy things as teen-agers, and sometimes when we were older, too. Over the past few months, I’ve heard about several near misses and, unfortunately, some tragedies – culminating in the loss of young Summer August two weeks ago. Kids, live life to the fullest – but, please, please be ready to say “this is crazy” and stop doing those things that can get you into trouble. Finally, my best wishes to all to enjoy autumn in Sechelt, including the Sech-elt Arts Festival, which begins October 16.Rita Hunt, who was recent-

ly honoured as a National Representative of the Year with Welcome Wagon, do-nated a $250 gift to Ali Khan, President of the Sunshine Coast Hospice Association, on behalf of Welcome Wagon. Hunt’s award recognized her ability to make newcomers feel welcomed, her enthusi-asm, dedication and coop-eration with the business community, and her personal performance accompanied with the highest standard

The International Gr-enache Association uncorks the 5th Annual International Grenache Day Friday, Sep-tember 19, 2014 September 19 marks the 5th Annual International Grenache Day (#Grenacheday) celebrating the most widely planted red grape in the world with tast-ings, plantings and tweetings across the world.

Why Grenache?? This under-appreciated grape varietal makes great wines greater and is one of the most adaptable food-pairing wines in the world, yet as a team player it doesn’t always get the credit it deserves. Grenache’s

Taste... Talk... Tweet... #GrenacheDay unique velvety mouthfeel has created a cult following across the world with those in the know who join in the Inter-national Grenache Day fun on the third Friday of September.

To Grenachistas it’s really only a matter of time before more people begin to request Grenache the way they do Merlots, Pinot Grigios and Shiraz/Syrahs and begin to sip into something more com-fortable!

What will you do for #Gr-enacheDay 2014? Go out and try some Grenache or bring it home! List your event on the #GrenacheDay 2014 Google MyMap by sending your info

to [email protected], post your pho-tos and videos on Facebook.com/GrenacheDay, wear colorful clothing, and/or join in the conversation on Twit-ter (#GrenacheDay). Look for more suggestions on www.grenacheday.com!

Grenache Association co-founder Nicole Rolet, pro-ducer of Chene Bleu wines, comments: “The enthusiasm about Grenache just keeps growing worldwide. It really is a 21st century eco-superstar, its vines survive on minimum water and deep roots help weather heat and droughts.”

How To Make Basic Tomato Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes

InstructionsPeel the tomatoes: Bring a

large Dutch oven or stock pot of water to a boil over high heat. Fill a mixing bowl with ice and water and set this next to the stove. Core out the stems from the tomatoes and slice a shallow “X” in the bottom of each fruit. Working

in batches, drop several to-matoes into the boiling water. Cook until you see the skin starting to wrinkle and split, 45 to 60 seconds, then lift the tomatoes out with the slot-ted spoon and plunge them into the ice water. Continue with the rest of the toma-toes, transferring the cooled tomatoes from the ice water to another mixing bowl as they cool. When finished, use your hands or a paring knife to strip the skins from the tomatoes. Discard the water used to boil the tomatoes.

Roughly chop the toma-toes: Working in batches, pulse the tomatoes in the food processor. Pulse a few times for chunkier sauce, or process until smooth for a pureed sauce. Transfer each batch into the Dutch oven or

stock pot. Alternatively, chop the tomatoes by hand. Pro-cess through a food mill for a smoother sauce. For a very chunky sauce, skip this stop entirely and let the tomatoes break down into large pieces as they cook.

Simmer the tomatoes: Bring the tomato sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Continue simmering for 30 to 90 minutes, stirring occasion-ally, until the sauce reaches the taste and consistency that you like.

Stir in the lemon juice and salt: When finished cook-ing, stir in the lemon juice or vinegar and salt. A quarter cup is necessary to ensure a safe level of acidity for can-ning. Add more lemon juice or vinegar to taste.

Preserving Option 1 — Freeze your sauce: Let the

sauce cool and then transfer it into freezer containers or freezer bags. Sauce can be kept frozen for at least three months before starting to develop freezer burn or off-flavors.

Preserving Option 2 — Can your sauce: Transfer the hot sauce into sterilized canning jars. Top with new, sterilized lids, and screw on the rings until finger tight. Process in a pot of boiling water for 30 minutes. Let cool completely on the counter — if any lids do not seal com-pletely (the lids will invert and form a vacuum seal), re-frigerate that sauce and use it within a week or freeze it for up to three months. Canned tomato sauce can be stored in the pantry for at least a year.

18th Annual Pender Harbour Jazz Festival is bringing the grooves again September 19, 20 & 21. “Once again, we have a line-up of world class musicians play-ing fabulous jazz in different styles, from Afro-Cuban to Bebop to Swing,” organizers note.

Their indoor and alfresco venues are scattered around Pender Harbour and most of the events are free. All but one venue is accessible by water, and trusty water-taxi, the Slo-Cat, will be shuttling folks between those ven-ues throughout the Festival, weather permitting, at only $5 per ride. Tickets are only available at their website http://penderharbourmusic.ca/jazz-festival/

Don’t be a slow cat, get some tickets while they last. Master of Ceremonies this year is Cory Weeds.

The Jazz Festival proudly brings in a jazz icon for the second year in a row to head-line the Festival at the School of Music. The George Cables Trio will be in the house. Born in New York City in 1944, Cables was classically trained on the piano as a youth – then he discovered jazz. A lyrical, sweet and strong sound is Cables’ trademark. George Ca-bles brings drummer Victor Lewis from NYC and they are joined by Adam Thomas on bass. We are thrilled to have them on our stage

Jazz festival to thrill jazz fans

Laura Crema’s CBC radio review noted her ‘sultry vo-cals pull you deep into the dark smoky room of some 40’s speakeasy where torch songs spoke volumes from the heart.’

PK3 features an elegant sound inspired by such leg-ends as Oscar Peterson, Ah-mad Jamal and Harry Connick Jr. Co-leader and drummer Kristian Braathen grew up on the Sunshine Coast. Pianist and co-leader Paul Miyai be-gan with classical training and found jazz with Brad Turner, Ross Taggart and Miles Black at Capilano College. Award-winning bassist Jodi Proznick rounds out PK3 with her passionate and innovative

playing.Originally a native of Van-

couver, Ben Henriques who moved to the Montreal jazz scene is a musician’s musi-cian, full toned and fluent. His flowing and lyrical music will challenge your ear just enough to move you to a dif-ferent dimension.

Dan Brubeck’s fabulous jazz quartet features Dan on drums, Adam Thomas on vocals and bass, Steve Kald-estad on sax and Tony Foster on piano. Dan Brubeck, son of jazz icon Dave Brubeck, has wanted to put together a musical tribute that honored both his father’s composi-tions and his mother’s lyrics and that’s what he will be

sharing this year.A bit of ‘if you can’t beat

them, join them’ irony to the Three Generations of Jazz, the act that joins the three Arn-tzens in a celebration of vin-tage jazz with Arnt Arntzen.

The Festival continues the tradition of providing a free clinic for all Sunshine Coast high school music students, led this year by international-ly renowned flautist and saxo-phone player Tom Keenlyside.

Local saxophonist and pharmacist Ken Grunenberg brings his modern jazz trio to the streets of Maderia Park for some straight ahead jazz tinged with Jobim’s bossa. This is a free event, donations in the hat are welcome. Gary Comeau will serenade you on mandolin, fiddle, and what-ever else comes to hand with guitarist Tim Hearsey in their Cajun style. This is also a free event. Donations in the hat are welcome.

Known as one of Canada’s most accomplished jazz pianists Miles Black will be performing, and local singer songwriter Katherine Penfold unleashes her cool talents with her trio: Miles Black on piano and Jodi Proznick on bass.

The Pender Harbor and Suncoast Phoenix Choirs will perform in four part har-mony with the Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir over the first weekend in October as the VWMC launches its thirty sixth season with a three concert mini- tour of the Sun-shine Coast.

The VWMC has grown from humble beginnings in 1980 to become a multicultural auditioned choir of over 100 men ranging in age from high school students to octogenar-ians. Members come from 23 countries and collectively speak at least that many lan-guages, while still manag-ing to include some Welsh language songs in their wide ranging repertoire.

The programs for the three Coast concerts will include

Coast Choirs set to performwell known songs from stage and screen, Canadiana num-bers, spirituals and familiar Welsh tunes, all under the long term leadership of well known tenor soloist Jonathan Quick and accompanist David Buchan.

While the VWMC will per-form the bulk of each pro-gram, the Sechelt concert on Friday Oct 3rd at the Raven’s Cry Theatre, 7.30pm,will also feature the Suncoast Phoe-nix Choir performing alone, with new director Sara Doug-las and accompanist Paula Seward. Tickets for this con-cert are at the Sechelt Visitor’s Centre or Laedeli in Sunny-crest Mall, Upper Gibsons.

On Saturday Oct 4th at 7.30pm the Pender Harbour Choir, under the leader-ship of Joy McLeod, with the

Sasspenders and Women’s Chorus will follow the VWMC to perform a set at the Ma-deira Park Hall and all groups will jointly perform two finale pieces. Tickets at EarthFair Books, Madeira Park, and the Sechelt Visitor’s Centre. The accompanist for both Friday and Saturday concerts is Pau-la Seward.

The final concert of the weekend will be a Sunday matinee starting at 2pm at the Heritage Playhouse in Gib-sons, where the VWMC will sing an expanded program. Tickets at Laedeli in Upper Gibsons or Gaia’s Fair Trade in Lower Gibsons.

Tickets for all concerts are also available at the door, or online (no fees) at vwmc.ca or call 604-878-1190

at Raven’s Cry Theatre


Ian MacLeod is showing a watershed of painted works at Sunshine Coast Arts Centre that are striking and subtle in equal measure. MacLeod has entitled his new exhibit Ab-stract Aesthetics.

MacLeod’s new abstract paintings are constructed of geometric patterns, set against a flowing spontane-ity, and are inspired by na-ture and the urban environ-ment, the curator notes.

Most of the 16 large can-vases and 11 smaller works fit together nicely as a col-lection. Through the abstract genre, the artist allows the viewer to have a unique ex-perience for him or herself.

“Art is personal,” McLeod related, “it was a few years before it struck me that what I’m working on isn’t mine.” He notes that most art ends up on the walls of other people’s homes and offices, and doesn’t stay in the studio long.

McLeod likes to be present at his shows and get feedback on the works.

“I love to hear what people think and asking, ‘why did you do this?’ It makes me think,” the career artist noted.

Constantly experimenting, he employs the unconven-tional, using medical tape, and house stain or allowing the natural elements to bat-ter his canvases.

McLeod took his art train-ing in Ottawa, but after work-

Abstract Esthetics stimulates at SCACing in Vancouver for a spell, decided to relocate. He has also done freelancing for magazines, design and even some graphic displays for Expo 86 when he first arrived out west. These days how-ever, he dedicates most of his time to his paintings. He noted how making art daily is helpful to his process.

Now on the Sunshine Coast 13 years, MacLeod said he began attending drop-in life drawing classes at the Sun-shine Coast Arts Centre not long after arriving, and found spending time with the other artists very inspiring.

“It opened up my world, like back in art school,” he shared, “and I started doing

more and more projects.” Something you may notice

about MacLeod’s paintings is that he numbers his works instead of giving them titles.

“I don’t like to interfere with what the viewer may be feeling about the painting,” the Halfmoon Bay painter said, “The less I have to do with my own stuff, the better off I am.”

MacLeod’s show at the Sunshine Coast Art Gallery runs until September 28 at the Sunshine Coast Arts Cen-tre which is open Wednesday to Saturday 11 am to 4 pm and Sunday 1 to 3 pm. Info: 604 885 5412 Gallery: 5714 Medusa in Sechelt Apryl Veld

Books & Beyond

Deanielle ArsenaultYoung Peoples Librarian,Gibsons and District Public Library

The Young People’s sec-tion of the Gibsons and Dis-trict Public Library has been

an especially busy place this fall, with schools not yet in session. The library has thousands of books in its Juvenile and Young Adult collections, as well as plenty of audio-visual materials and magazines to stimulate imag-ination and learning.

To assist parents of school-aged children who are cur-

rently Schooling Their Own At Home the library will host an Idea Swap on Saturday September 27, from 2:30–4 pm. This will be an informal opportunity for parents to share ideas about projects and approaches they are using to help their children learn during the current education strike.

Visit them at www.gibsons.bc. libraries.coop for more in-formation on these and more up-coming programs.

In addition to the resourc-es available on the shelves, the library is also offering a variety of programs this fall to inspire and invigorate literacy in its many forms.

Pioneering Medical Doctor Tells Tales of a 50 Year Career on the Sunshine Coast

Sechelt, BC: Dr.Eric Paet-kau, author of “The Doc’s Side – Tales of a Sunshine Coast Doctor”, talks about the six “whys” of his 50 year medical career on the Sunshine Coast – the last of which is “why write a book?” This is the free, annual Clif-ford Smith Memorial lecture presented by the ElderU of Capilano University Sun-

Elder U talk Doc’s Sideshine Coast Continuing Stud-ies and Executive Education Department.

Sponsored by the Sunshine Coast Credit Union, the free talk takes place on Satur-day, September 27, 2014 at Chatelech Secondary School, 5904 Cowrie Street, Sechelt, 2 pm.

After graduating from the University of Saskatch-ewan’s first medical class, Dr. Paetkau arrived at St. Mary’s Hospital in Pender Harbour

in 1959. This was still the frontier age of medicine in British Columbia and he soon found himself travelling by boat and seaplane to patients in remote homes and log-ging camps. Not only were his skills as a doctor and sur-geon in demand, but he could also find himself acting as veterinarian and dentist. He wrote of his many harrowing and humorous experiences In “The Doc’s Side” and will be sharing some of them at

the lecture. Assistance for this program is provided by School District 46 and the Sechelt Public Library.

Clifford Smith was a former Superintendent of Schools – District 46 and a former Chair of ElderU and a pas-sionate advocate of lifelong learning. Info: 604 885 9310 Online: www.capilanou.ca/elderu-sunshinecoastSubmitted

The Outdoor Art Gallery unveiled its first two murals in Gibsons Landing on Sun-day afternoon, Sept. 7, 2014. The first was an installation at Zócalo, 441 Marine Dr. and then an hour later, a second mural was unveiled in Molly’s Lane with the artwork situ-ated 24 ft. up on the Gibsons Quay wall. Both murals were created by Elizabeth A. Evans and each was 4 ft. x 8 ft. in size. The common theme de-picted in the paintings were the earth, sky and water and featured creatures whose existence is threatened. The shadow of a bear reminds the viewer of the fragility of this animal should its habitat be lost.

The invited guests at the first unveiling applauded enthusiastically when Joann Hetherington, owner of Zó-calo, ripped away the tarp covering a painting entitled “Time Will Tell”, revealing bright, bold colours within the powerful composition. “It’s absolutely gorgeous”, she exclaimed when seeing what she’d unveiled. The guests were invited to sip some “Gibsons Champagne” and a toast was made by Patricia Hetherington, Joann’s sister.

William Baker, co-founder of the Outdoor Art Gallery was excited to share the Gal-lery’s first works of art with the Town of Gibsons. “We intend to install more murals and sculptures in the coming year, creating a wonderful art walk for visitors and lo-cals to enjoy”, he explained. “Once we’ve completed our crowdfunding campaign,

Artistic Double Header in Gibsons(www.paintourtown.ca) we will seek additional art and artists to participate in this unique project. When com-pleted, Gibsons will be home to the world’s only year round outdoor art gallery”, he added.

The second mural, en-titled “Trilogy in Time”, was unveiled in Molly’s Lane by Thomas Murray who built both the mural structures. All the artwork is for sale and the Outdoor Art Gallery is planning to replace the art annually. The existing murals will be sold to art collectors.

Elizabeth Evans, who painted the murals in her unique brickilism style (“bricks” of colour that merge to form a seamless image) spoke to the guests and pointed out that the sun in each of the paintings is a central theme in all her work. She provided a gift to those in attendance - an autographed art card with the “Trilogy in Time” image.

“The weatherproofed mu-rals are now available for ev-eryone in Gibsons to enjoy,” commented Baker. Submitted

Gibson volunteers helped Lyn and Bill Charlton load bikes into a Prime Rental cube-van which they drove to Whistler, Wednesday to the Pender Rotary Club-sponsored shipping con-tainer that will go to Africa. Photo suBmitted

Why refinish?Whether you’ve had hard-wood floors for a long rime or just discovered them under old carpeting, you’ve probably considered refinishing them. Waxing and/or buffing often provides a good shine but refinishing the floor is usually the only way to regain the original richness and beauty of the wood.

The Local Weekly was invited to sit down with prominent builder, Clark Hamilton, Mayor John Henderson along with property lawyer Mark Sager and business development consul-tant Werner Hofstatter, to introduce (Sechelt Sustainable Community) SCC Properties Ltd. Hamilton and Henderson introduced them-selves as the new owners of 400 acres in the District, previously known as Silverback. All four team members discussed their vision for a sustainable community just north of Porpoise Bay Provincial Park. Important in this endeav-our is the community feedback from neigh-bouring communities, on how it’s developed, they said.

“We are excited about the future of Sechelt and the positive role that is property will play,” they noted, “We are committed to carefully re-developing this beautiful property in order to create jobs, attract and retain young people, in a way that respects the land and protects the amazing quality of life that we all cherish.”

The Local Weekly editorial department was forthright in their questions concerning time-lines, ownership, investment and definition of sustainability concerning the site. Questions were also raised about access through Sechelt Indian Band lands, foreshore leases, planning department and public consultations.

The existing zoning for the previous Silver-back property called for an 18-hole golf course, 1600 homes, a hotel and retail/commercial facilities. The vision for a sustainable commu-nity would include agriculture uses of the land along with residential, commercial, an arts component and public facilities, the new team noted.

Mark Sager, Head of Community Relations for the proposal wanted to establish that Mayor John Henderson would recuse himself from any District of Sechelt discussions or voting on mat-ters pertaining to the development in harmony with the Community Charter.

The next stage in this development will be SSC reps contacting individual households in East Porpoise Bay, Sandy Hook and Tu-wanek in the coming weeks, and arranging discussions with key groups and the Sechelt Nation to gather feedback on this proposed development.

They also invite your input and participa-tion at www.SSCProperties.comSusan Attiana and Apryl Veld

Horoscope

MichaelO’Connor Astrologer

Tip of the Week:Autumn Equinox occurs

on September 22 at 7:29 pm PDT. This exact moment coincides with the Sun en-tering the Sign of Libra. It is also symbolic of the setting Sun, thus the notion of ‘Fall’ equating to the more official term, Autumn. The seasonal ‘signs’ of nature linked to the position of the Sun in the sky and the length of the hours of daylight, which are equal to the hours of darkness, thus the ‘equi’ in the word, reveal the annual cycle. So, the final season of the year has begun.

In this the Year of the Wood Horse in Chinese As-trology, which is symbolic of accelerated growth, we can certainly see that the times are changing. The Horse in Western Astrology translates to Gemini and Libra from the ‘lunar’ perspective and Sag-ittarius and Aries from the ‘solar’ perspective. Depicting our times with this metaphor, we might hear the loud thun-der of hooves with a great herd of steeds in full gallop. As romantic as it might be to depict wild horses, each of these are mounted battle horses each carrying a sol-dier. Neither is this a simple battle of two opposing sides, here we see many armies in full offensive assault and none altogether clear about why they are actually at war.

And as honorable as it might be to see noble gen-erals guiding their troops to righteous victory, what we all too often intuit is the maneuvers of unscrupulous ambition and not leading courageous soldiers, but pawns in their murderous game. Words like corruption, deceit, shame, guile, divisive-ness, psychopathic insan-ity and so on constitute the descriptive list and you may have many of your own you would like to ad. And we do not have to look across bor-ders and oceans to see the results of visionless ambition and elitism posing as leader-ship where genuine integrity and service truly belong.

This is not to say it is all bad. After all, we are souls incarnate each possessing a divine spark of light and our intuitions tell us that this same light animates na-ture from the cosmic to the molecular and everything in between. We can probably say with a healthy measure of confidence that 99% of the population is basically good, well maybe 98%. Yet, there is mass confusion because the divine matrix of nature has been replaced with an artifi-cial one because it produces profit, yet the sort that actu-ally amounts to deficit.

Most people have heard the Chinese Proverb, “May you live in interesting times.” Ours may be better described as confusing, perplexing, di-

visive, fragmenting, and anni-hilating and so on. Of course, light will always overcome darkness, which is simply the apparent absence of it. Now would be a good time for us to each awaken to and activate the light that we are. Astrology is a well-suited to activate this authentic spark because it is a natural psy-chology based on the laws of nature. If you feel you would like some insight and guid-ance to reveal the light of your purpose for being here, please contact me.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)A busy cycle over the past

weeks has seen you pushing hard on a few fronts. This has likely stirred a bit of drama. As this week progresses, you will want to achieve a better balance. Giving more than you might usually or feel you want to will continue howev-er. Yet the same may be said of significant others giving to you as well. Balance equals fair.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)You have been on a roll

these past weeks. Keeping the momentum is possible but will require more effort. With your confidence levels on a steady rise these days you are in a good position to persevere successfully. When our enthusiasm levels are high others are inclined to take advantage, however. Invite open communica-tion and remain on higher ground.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)Following through on

cleaning, clearing and get-ting your affairs in order will prove important this week. Yet, your focus is shifting to weave in more social time, fun play and perhaps some romance too. Cultural ac-tivities at least will suffice and inspire. The coming few weeks stand to be extra excit-ing with lots of places to go and people to meet.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Despite a busy flow publi-

cally and/or professionally, your main focus these days is on the home front. Future considerations linked to fi-nancial needs, concerns and interests are prompting you to take a few risks and to reach out more. Meanwhile, family matters are brewing and these will come more fully to the fore before the week is out.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)A busy cycle is poised to

begin. This is already an ex-pansive time prompting you to take risks to increase your scope and vision. Yet, pay-ing attention to the details will remain important as well, especially over the next week or two. At deeper levels you are and have been sum-moned to confront fears of deepening your commitment to the future.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Taking initiatives to enter

new territory has and con-tinues to be a central theme. You may be feeling and ex-periencing tests of faith, in

yourself, the times, society and/or the world in general. Circumstances are pushing you to dig deeper somehow. Finding new solutions to cur-rent challenges is implied. Be willing to innovate and try new approaches.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

The Sun entering your sign will activate the pioneer within. It may take you little longer to get your momen-tum that you think it should. With your energy levels run-ning high you are in a good position to advance. You have probably already been initi-ating key communications and activating connections. Take the lead to continue to negotiate agreeable terms.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

An exciting if dramatic period continues, challeng-ing you to maintain the pace. This challenge has likely proven quite tiring mentally, emotionally and physically. Though you may be sur-rounded by people, there may be no one you feel can lean on. This is a call to step back for a while, to rest and to reach within to access hid-den reserves of optimism.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

The first stage of building upon new foundations has begun. What it implies is a process of fortifying what is already there, or what is left. By now, much of what once was has dissolved. Although this process will continue for a while yet, you are begin-ning to get the first signs of solidity again. Focus to bring this intuition to the level of conscious communication.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) Are you ready to make a

measurable push in your pro-fessional life? A window of opportunity is fast approach-ing and now is the time to build your momentum. This may require that you clear the way. Whether it is inner blocks like lack of clarity, un-certainty, limiting beliefs and so on or simply the fact that you need to get organized, focus to clear the way to ad-vance.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

AYour world has been steadily opening up to new horizons, people and modes of expression. This week the beginnings of the next phase will occur. You may even find yourself breaking into new territory. You will be required to rise to meet the challenge of heading into the unknown. Feeling supported to do so will become more important. Ask and your will receive.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A busy period is about to begin for you. It will include training others and/or get-ting trained. Shared work ex-periences with others should prove quite satisfying, but may require more effort than expected. A weave of diplo-macy and charm will help a lot. You will also begin to re-evaluate how things have been and are working.

Why Haven't People With Back and

Neck Pain Been Told These Facts? Don't Even Think Of Taking Another Pain Pill Until You Read This!

Do You Have Any of the Following Conditions?

Lower Back Pain

Neck or shoulder pain

Muscle spasm or strains

Bulging lumbar and cervical discs

Numbness or soreness in your legs

Shooting hip or thigh pain

Pain or numbness in your hands

Headaches

Having pain can bring life to a standstill.

You might not be able to play golf, garden, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep.

You've got too many dreams left undone to let pain slow you down. Too many special moments waiting to be experienced.

Life is too short to let pain

slow you down.

Pain is your body’s warning sign telling you something is wrong. Sure, you can numb the pain if you take enough pain pills or anti-inflammatories.

But if you mask the pain, it can prevent you from healing – and maybe even cause more damage.

Not to mention, many of the pain medications available are quite addicting and can have devastating side effects.

Could This Be The Solution

To Your Back and Neck Pain?

My name is Dr. Ron Pashkewych, DC owner of New Hope Chiropractic. Over the past 14 years in practice with my wife Dr Jody Cox, DC, we've seen hundreds of people with back and neck pain leave the office pain free. Because I've seen it with my own eyes, I strongly believe...

Pain is NOT "just a part of life" and

something you have to live with.

Chiropractic has been around for over a hundred years, and has been used to help everyone from tiny babies to the elderly.

Even top sports stars and entertainers… like Tiger

Woods, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Joe

Montana, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel

Gibson receive chiropractic care. These professional athletes have the money to hire any kind of doctor they want, yet they choose to have a chiropractor on their team.

“Here's what some patients have to say...”

“I feel more confident – standing straighter and more at ease with my body.” GW

“In just four months I am back to doing activities that I haven't done for many years. My body is virtually pain free.” LP

Here’s what some of the top medical researchers

had to say about chiropractic…

“Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”– British Medical Journal

“Chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.” -- Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery

This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back to playing sports, playing with your kids or grandkids, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

Have A Professional Evaluation

of Your Back For Only $35

For 14 days only, I’m running a very special offer where you can find out how much this amazing treatment can help your neck or back pain.

What does this offer include? Everything I normally do in my new patient evaluation for only $35.

Just call before October 3rd and here’s what you’ll get…

-An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

- A complete neuromuscular examination

- A full set of specialized x-rays (if necessary), and a thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings.(NOTE: These would normally cost you at least $95).

You’ll get to see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your neck or back pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients.

Chiropractic very well could be the answer you’ve been looking for.

Tell the receptionist Lauryn you’d like to come in for the Back and Neck Pain Evaluation before October 3rd, 2014.

I look forward to helping you get rid of your pain so you can start living a healthier, more joyful life.

Sincerely,Dr. Ron Pashkewych, Bsc, DC

P.S. How many years can your body handle

taking pills?

Taking pain medications (even if they're over-the-counter pills) is no way to live. Pills don't "fix" anything, they just numb the pain.

Finding the problem and fixing it has got to be your top priority!

I may be able to help you live a normal, pain-free life again. This offer expires October 3rd.

Call today at 604-886-9222.

Operating ReservesThe District of Sechelt had in excess of $9M in operating reserves

and unrestricted surpluses at the end of 2013. This represents 83% of 2013 recurring operating revenue. Sechelt is well ahead of the comparable communities.

Capital ReservesThe District had $10.4M in capital reserves as of December 31st,

2013. This places us in the middle of comparable municipalities. While the District has a long-term capital plan, it has never been funded in a coordinated and sustainable way. Therefore, Council recently approved setting up an Infrastructure Renewal Reserve. The Finance Advisory Committee has recently recommended several options for funding the long-term capital plan.
