    Painting a building without consulting the city first can cost you something a local developer is learning the hard way.

    The Dominion Rocket, for-merly the Dalton Hotel, was painted black last fall, and the city is not happy with the change due to the buildings her-itage status.

    When exterior work is proposed that would result in a change [of a heritage build-ing], a permit and consistency with guidelines are required, said Katie Hamilton, spokesperson for the city, add-ing the black paint was done without a heritage alteration permit.

    This oversight could end up costing the developer an esti-mated tens of thousands of dol-lars.

    Jordan Milne, president of GMC Properties, the developer of the Dominion Rocket, and president of Honeycomb Real

    Estate Advisors, the managing entity of the building, said he was aware of the buildings her-itage designation and thought the chosen colours would have been acceptable.

    We painted the building with heritage colours under the Benjamin Moore heritage colour scheme; and then the

    city came back to us afterwards now and have said that they have taken issue with the paint job, he said.

    Milne added the city had been advised that painting would occur, but there

    were no discussions of colour choice.

    Its unfortunate, because we think that the colour scheme thats on the building certainly gives it a fresh look and within the heritage colour scheme, said Milne. Its not something thats a simple fix, and its not something that we believe needs to be changed.

    U.S. Navy jet fighter training is reaching a higher noise level in Greater Victoria, one that is bringing grum-bles from residents.

    And its putting politi-cians on high alert. The mayors of both Victoria and Esquimalt and Vic-toria MP Murray Rankin say theyre receiving numerous complaints.

    There is significant concerns because it has escalated in the last

    while in terms of the fre-quency and the inten-sity, said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins.

    A group of home-owners from Saanichs Ten Mile Point are hop-ing their concerns will be heard by the U.S. Navy during the con-sultation process over bringing additional EA-18 Growler jets at the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

    The extreme end of it is when jets swing too close to (Ten Mile Point) our houses shake and car alarms

    are set off, said Gra-ham Payette, whose family lives near the tip of Ten Mile Point.

    It happens with enough frequency that Payette wonders if the navy could release a schedule detailing the exercises, and if theres anything that can be done to mitigate the impact.

    Our neighbourhood group wasnt aware of the (navys) call for input until the last day, and some of us man-aged to get some input in, but not all of us,

    Payette said. Whidbey Island Navy

    spokesperson Ted Brown is running an environmental impact consultation process at the base, situated across the waters of the Juan de Fuca Strait, as the navy gradually replaces the 1970s era EA-6B Prowlers with the Boeing EA-18G elec-tronic warfare aircraft, or Growlers.

    Brown said the ini-tial public consultation window, which is now closed, will re-open in about 2016 to allow

    amendments to the first draft of the environ-mental impact report which he is now work-ing on.

    Its the naval air sta-tions third environ-mental review in 10 years. It studies noise and other impacts from thousands of landings and takeoffs conducted at Ault Field near Oak Harbor, Wash. and the Outlying Landing Field near Coupeville, Wash. The consultation is prompted by the addi-tion of 13 more EA-18s and a contract to train

    Australian pilots on the planes at NAS Whidbey.

    Prior reviews were environmental assess-ments; this EIS is more extensive and is con-ducted under the more strict National Environ-mental Protection Act standards and rules.

    The perception of increased noise and increased frequency of operations has gener-ated more local com-plaints on Whidbey Island, and a citizens group called Citizens of the Ebeys Reserve for a Healthy, Safe and Peace-ful Environment filed a lawsuit against the navy in July. The navy sus-pended training flights for six months in 2013, but resumed them this month.

    Rankin has had dis-cussions with U.S. Navy officials on Whidbey Island and they were willing to adjust their

    timing and the location of the training schedule based on noise com-plaints.

    He also plans to bring it up with Canadian mil-itary officials in Ottawa.

    Jet fighter rumbles bring on grumblesNavy opento complaint

    Greater Victoria residents disturbed by the jet noise can make a complaint directly to the U.S.Navy.

    The first step is to report each incident to a recording line at Whidbey Island (1-370-257-6665), making sure to mention the time. You can also email your report to [email protected].

    Fraudsters buy gift cards illegally

    Victoria police are warning retailers to be on the lookout for a scam in which young men are purchasing gift cards using prepaid credit cards.

    There have been several instances in the last month where young men travelling to Greater Victoria from the Lower Mainland with large numbers of pre-paid credit cards.

    The suspects then visit retail outlets and coffee shops where they use the pre-paid credit cards to purchase gift cards. The information from the pre-paid credit cards turns out to be fraudulently obtained.

    Victoria man, 40, charged with assault

    A 40-year-old Victoria man has been charged with aggravated assault, forcible confinement and uttering threats after a woman was beaten in a Gorge Road East apartment building Saturday.

    Richard Douglas Powers next court appearance is Tuesday (Feb. 3).

    Military groups raise $452,000

    Armed Forces and Civilian personnel have raised more than $452,000 through the Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign.

    The local Defence Team working at more than 100 Department of National Defence units in Greater Victoria, has been a leading contributor to the campaign for many years.

    The United Way of Greater Victoria and Health partners will distribute donations to the charities.

    These contributions are the result of countless hours worked by dedicated volunteers who each year make the campaign a success, said CFB Esquimalt base commander Capt. (N) Steve Waddell.

    The City of Victoria is look-ing into non-traditional part-nerships with individuals and organizations that may have an interest in the reno-vation or replacement of Fire Station No. 1.

    These potential collabo-rations will be discovered through a 10-week market sounding.

    Collaborations may include options such as housing or a library in the fire hall, said Mayor Lisa Helps.

    The purpose of the mar-ket sounding is to discover ideas that could help shape something really innovative, said Helps.

    Council approved a rec-ommendation to consider immediate priority items for Crystal Pool and Fitness Cen-tre as part of the proposed 2015 financial plan, and to also consider future invest-ment options upon comple-tion of the city-wide facilities assessment.

    The estimated cost of the priority repairs such as replacement of dome pan-els, new storm and sanitary pipes and safety upgrades to the chlorine system is $585,000.

    A public engagement proj-ect plan will also be devel-oped while the assessment is being conducted, and is to be deployed after the com-pletion of the assessment.

    Helps said no decisions will be made on Fire Hall No. 1 or Crystal Pool until the facilities assessment report is received in October, outlin-ing the conditions of all city-owned buildings and what capital investments will need to be made.

    We own 100 or so build-ings, and we know very little about the condition of many of those, said Helps. If we had known the condition of the fire hall and Crystal Pool, for example, when the [John-son Street] bridge decision was originally made, I dont think we would be building a $100-million bridge.

    City seeks ideas for fire hall

    Ancient fires stoke regions climate plansTravis PatersonBlack Press

    In the wilderness of a remote South Island lake, Kendrick Brown leans over the boats edge and drives a hollow tube into the soft lakebed sediment below.

    What he pulls out, one metre at a time, is a historical timeline embed-ded in layers of organic and non-organic matter. It tells him about the past, and helps paint a picture of whats to come.

    Theyre natures archives: strati-graphic sequences in the mud that read like pages in a book, says Brown, a research scientist with the Canadian Forest Service.

    Basically, the same mud that you sink your toes into during a sum-mer swim is the cover of the book, a recording of history of the region based on the matter that has settled into the lake floor.

    Browns project team is based out of the Pacific Forestry Centre in Saanich and includes research technician Nicholas Conder, Nicho-las Hebda, and University of Victoria co-op student Kiera Smith. While the focus is on the past, the results can

    help inform about the future. The teams current focus is on

    sediment cores collected from the Greater Victoria Water Supply Area, namely from Begbie Lake and the Sooke Lake Reservoir.

    Brown is examining records from these lakes because paleoclimate indicators suggest the past time interval known as the early Holo-cene (11,700-7,000 years ago) was warmer and drier compared to pres-ent-day.

    Scientists hope the data may serve as a first-order reference to what future conditions may be like if induced by climate change.

    There are models suggesting temperatures in southern B.C. may increase two to three degrees Cel-sius by 2100.

    Extracting pollen and charcoal fragments from the lake sediment cores allows the team to assess how vegetation and fire disturbance have changed through time in response to various forcing mechanisms, Brown said.

    We now have a sense of how the fire regime has changed in the Sooke Lake Reservoir catchment through-out the Holocene (period) and will

    be informing the CRD about the nat-ural variability of fire events within the water supply catchment, he said. Were now working to under-stand how vegetation in the catch-ment has changed through time, the signal of which is contained in abundant fossil pollen grains in the sediment.

    The forestry scientists have teamed up with the CRD because the regional body need to know about fire risk to water supply, Brown said.

    Were using natures archives to learn how the land responded to past changes in climate and identify-ing past periods that might be ana-logues for the future, he said.

    Are future generations of the South Island destined to live in a fire-prone region? Not quite, but fire dis-turbance may increase in the future.

    We need to plan for and protect against this risk. While fire is not a common form of disturbance today, it was more prevalent in the past, Brown said.

    That plan is still a few years off. The team is hoping to produce an initial report of findings by the end of 2016.

    Dr. Kendrick Brown of the Pacific Forestry Centre points to a two-centimetre layer of volcanic rock in a core sample from Begbie Lake. The ash was deposited after Oregons Mt. Mazama erupted 7,700 years ago.

    The unpredictable rumbling of U.S. Navy anti-radar jets over Greater Victoria is leading to frustration amongst neighbours at Ten Mile Point and elsewhere in the region.

    The vibrating air traffic comes from an increase in Boeing EA-18G Growlers, and its only going to get worse as those jets bump up to 114 by the end of 2015 at Whidbey Islands naval air base.

    An opportunity to submit public input about the noise and other environmental impacts closed Jan. 3, and though it was open to residents on this side of the Juan de Fuca, there was little in the way of notification from our local and regional governments.

    The environmental impact report will potentially be used to alter flight paths of the Growlers, so it was important for Greater Victoria residents to have had a say in the matter.

    Now, most will have to wait and see what transipires over the coming year and hope the U.S. Navy respects their Northern neighbours as much as they do their own citizens when it comes to disruption.

    When the U.S. Navy garners its next round of public input, the Capital Regional District should reach out directly and make sure affected residents know who to call and where to submit their concerns well in advance of the closing date.

    Re: Canada loses colourful artist (News, Jan. 21)

    I was saddened to read the recent passing of the artist Ted Harrison.

    I met Ted in the summer of 1986, when he flew into a small and remote gold exploration camp I happened to be working at in the Northwest Territories.

    This location was far above the treeline. Ted stayed in our tent camp for several days, getting some inspiration for further works.

    One evening a couple of us stayed up late with Ted as he regaled us with stories, sitting on hard plywood benches inside to avoid the ravaging mosquitoes and blackflies, while the midnight sun cast a golden light within the canvas kitchen tent.

    The one story that stays with me is of his riding a motorcycle in Belgium near the end of the Second World War. Not paying close enough attention, he failed

    to note that the road he was on ended with a dock on a canal.

    Both Ted and motorcycle sailed off the end, to a mighty splash. Ted was fine but nothing further was heard about the motorcycle, which may still lie there to this very day.

    Prior to departing our camp Ted signed and left several posters of his work. Mine became a fixture on my college apartment wall, a colourful reminder of a colourful and kind man.

    Nurses appreciated for first-rate care

    I would like to publicly acknowledge a group of nurses who perform a number of essential services for citizens in Victoria.

    A few months ago due to a post surgical complication I began daily treatment at the Home and Community Care Ambulatory Clinic at Gorge Road Hospital and on weekends

    at the Cook Street Clinic. All of the nurses who treated me were friendly, professional and dedicated to their work.

    A special thank you to Darlene at the Gorge Road Clinic whose knowledge and perseverance greatly hastened my healing time. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. William Orrom, a very kind and gifted surgeon working under difficult circumstances due to lengthy waiting lists.

    I cannot say thank you enough for the first-rate care I received from all those involved.

    Drivers must pay full cost of driving

    Re: Gas taxes hurting us (Our View, Jan. 23)

    I disagree with your editorial suggesting that fuel taxes should be reduced. In fact, they should be increased so that drivers pay the full costs of driving.

    According to the Victoria Transport Policy Institute, the

    annual total external costs of driving a car (those costs not borne directly by the driver, such as the cost of roads, parking, and environmental impacts) amount to roughly $3,700 annually. With fuel taxes at their current level,the average Victoria driver pays only about $600 annually in fuel taxes.

    This represents an annual subsidy of more than $3,000 for each vehicle in the region. This subsidy, whichhas to come from other taxes, distorts normal economic behavior.

    Because the cost of driving to the individual is kept artificially low, people tend to drive more than they would if they had to pay the full cost of driving. This kind of distortion does not make for an efficient or competitive economy in the long run.

    As someone who walks and cycles to get around, I really resent my tax dollars going to subsidize other peoples driving habits.

    Jeneece Place marks third anniversaryHouse a home away from home for families and sick kidsDon DescoteauBlack Press

    A facility created to allow out-of-town fami-lies to stay nearby while their children receive medical treatment at Victoria General Hospi-tal celebrated its third birthday recently.

    Jeneece Place named for energetic young fundraiser Jeneece Edroff, who turned 21 Jan. 20 has been a home away from home for more than 730 families since it opened in 2012.

    Most come from Vancouver Island, but some have come from further reaches to have a place of respite while their children undergo operations, rehabilita-tion services or recover from accidents.

    Linda Hughes, presi-dent and CEO of the Childrens Health Foundation of Van-couver Island, which built and operates the 10-bedroom, fully out-fitted house, said she has been surprised at the breadth of circum-stances in which fami-lies that stay at the home find themselves in.

    The families are amazing, theyre peo-

    ple who maybe have a big family, maybe its a first child or a fifth, and they come from as far north as you can go, she said.

    Over the three years Jeneece Place has been welcoming fami-lies, one of the more common scenarios for guests has been the birth of a premature baby or the need for their infant to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit, Hughes said. I dont think anyone understood that big trend.

    Another trend that has emerged, she said, is the use of the facil-

    ity by parents who live in town, as a place to perhaps freshen up or rest when their child is in hospital for tests or their baby has to stay overnight. Its a refuge for them.

    Hughes, who has been with the founda-tion for about a year and a half, said any conversation about the value of Jeneece Place comes around to the amazing young woman who started it all.

    Thank God that Jeneece trusted her instincts, that because of her own personal experience that this was a much needed

    (project) and would be a very successful endeavour, she said.

    She trusted what she knew as a child-hood (patient) and the community trusted her.

    Edroff, who still comes to the house regularly to help out, on top of her fund-

    raising activities, was taken out for a special birthday meal with her parents as part of the anniversary celebra-tion.

    Speaking of fundrais-ing, efforts are ongoing to keep the house run-ning. It costs $350,000 per year to operate and is funded by donations

    from the community. The Childrens Health Foundation of Van-couver Island accepts donations and issues tax receipts where applicable. To donate or find more informa-tion on Jeneece Place, visit childrenshealthvi.org or call 250-519-6977.

    He added that exterior paint-ing was competed by the end of October, and the city did not voice concerns until the end of December.

    The citys heritage planner was scheduled to meet with the developer this week to discuss where to go from here.

    Andrea Hudson, assistant director of community planning

    for the city said the city will be collaborating with the devel-oper on possible solutions, but could not elaborate on what those potential outcomes might be.

    OF THE WEEK!

    ?QUESTION

    Go to DrivewayCanada.ca for question of the week

    DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the drivers seat

    Concepts in Quebec: Canadian auto show season gets underwayMontreal, Quebec Le Salon Interna-tional de lAuto de Montreal heralds the opening of the Canadian auto show season, right on the heels of the Big One in Motor City (aka Detroit).This year, yours truly attended the pre-views for both auto extravaganzas and found optimism abounds in the industry, north and south of the border.As reported last week from Michigan, the Daddy of all Auto Shows showed a lot of high-end cars and new full size trucks. Montreal has a regional flavour with more exhibits that reflect that markets taste for smaller cars. The latter clearly influenced the decision to unveil the new subcompact Mazda2 here; a select group got the opportunity to get up close and personal with the machine in an artists gallery across town. The next day, the all-new CX-3, updated Mazda6 and CX-5 joined it on the show stand. The new Mazda2 was coloured in what I call show-off red and showed off its so-called KODO Soul of Motion design style to its best. I first saw this handsome style, which gives the impression that the vehicle is moving even when stationary, at the Mazda6 launch in Paris a few years ago. Translating it into a smaller car is not just a matter of shrinking the original but requires great design skill and clearly, Mazda has that in abundance.In Canada, a 1.5-litre SKYACTIV-G gasoline engine will power the Mazda2, and a choice of two transmissions will be available a six-speed manual and a six-speed

    auto. Prices will be fixed closer to launch, later this year, but expect it to be compa-rable to the current model and come in below $15,000.While there were plenty of econo cars on show, like Detroit, other than the Mazda2 there was nothing new to see in that range. Green cars were in evidence in Montreal but when the shows reach the west, you can expect to see many more cars for the eco-conscious drivers.

    Four concept cars did turn heads

    Cadillac ElmirajYou wont see one on the road but the long two-door grand coupe concept will influence the near-future design of the next line of Cadillacs. The Elmiraj features a 4.5-litre twin turbocharged V8 deliv-ering an estimated 500 hp. The engine takes the baseline technology from the Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 and expands it to

    the classic performance format of a V8 engine.

    Hyundai IntradoThe same can be said of the thinking behind the Hyundai Intrado, which is a concept crossover designed to foreshadow a change design direction for the Korean manufacturer. It looks a little bit like an oversized Juke, the quirky Nissan product loved and hated seemingly in equal measure. The Intrado seems a bit more lovable and passersby indicated a similar looking production would in find favour among many.

    The concept features a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain linked to a 36 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that Hyund-ai boasts will provide a range of 600 kilometres. By the way, British Columbians will soon be able to lease a Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, with a similar power-train and a reported range of 425 kms.

    Subaru VIZIV2The Subaru concept crossover utility hybrid shown is a four-door version of a previously revealed two-door. Get this: Subaru says its athletic, rugged shape of the sides seem designed in the image of a muscular NHL defenceman, and the fenders flare in a sturdy style. Ahem.Looks like it came out of the Nissan/Infiniti design studios, and thats not a criticism.

    Toyota FT1Toyota was all about the roar of the engines in Montre-al, which certainly pleased the gathered Quebec auto journos, who to a man/woman always appear to be race crazy to me (Given the market reality in Quebec, that doesnt appear to be reflected in car buyer choices). Nevertheless, most would surely enjoy the sleek lines of the Toyota FT-1, designed to be at home on the track and a heck of a ticket magnet on the highway. Up next is the Toronto Show, which takes the name The Canadian International Auto Show. Bite your lip, Morgan. The Calgary show follows, then the new-look, re-imagined Vancouver International Auto Show debuts March 24-29.

    Its the Cadillac of station wagons

    7x 7

    saunders

    By Bob McHugh

    The CTS Sport Wagon (2010 2013) was the first in-house full production wagon (based on a sedan) made by Cadillac. The CTS has clean, crisp, edgy styling that is distinctively modern Cadillac. The sedan edition of the highly successful rear-drive CTS was introduced for the 2003 model year and captured numer-ous awards. Its high-powered V variant, which followed in 2004, embarrassed Euro competitors of the day by smashing the production car lap speed record at the revered Nurburgring, in Germany. These days, wagons are less popular here than in Europe, so the available local used car market pool, for this edi-tion of the CTS, is not a very deep one. North Americans tend to buy utility type vehicles instead of a wagon. A wagon is typically closer to a sedan in terms of driving dynamics, yet has more than double the cargo capability. A CTS Sport Wagon is a little taller and heavier than the sedan, it offers 736 li-tres of storage space with the rear seats up, and 1,642 litres with them folded. Theres also a clever sub-floor cargo management system and the rear door is power-operated. The base engine is a 3.0-litre (255 horse-power) V6 thats mated to six-speed au-tomatic transmission. The other engine is a 24-valve, 3.6 litre, direct injection (304 horsepower) V6, that provides more

    torque at lower engine speeds, yet fuel economy is about the same. Using the newly revised rating method, consump-tion should be about 12.8/8.6 L/100 km (city/highway).The CTS can also come with an all-wheel drive system that normally splits torque 30/70 front-to-rear, to maintain its sporty (rear-drive) driving dynamic. Its capable of delivering up to100 per cent of torque to either axle if needed, but there is a small increase fuel consump-tion.An interesting adaptive forward lighting system was included in an option pack-age that came with Xenon headlights. This system automatically adjusts head-light direction for improved visibility at night. It can also turn the headlights up to 15 degrees inboard and 5 degrees outboard, providing better vision while cornering.The big news for 2011 model year was the addition of a, limited edition, high-performance CTS-V Sport Wagon model. Like the V sedan its powered by a 556-horsepower supercharged V8 engine and came with 6-speed man-ual transmission or optional 6-speed automatic. Youll likely pay a $20,000 premium (maybe more) to acquire a (hard to find) used CTS-V Wagon.The 2012 edition of the CTS Sport Wag-on came with a new 3.6-litre V6 engine that is more powerful (318-horsepower) yet lighter than the 3.6-litre engine it

    replaced. It also came with a new grille, standard Bluetooth and a new option package that made it look like a V Wagon. No significant changes followed for 2013 and it was the last production year of this generation of the CTS.Although it can be harder to find in the used car market, Sport Wagon adds a handy utility bonus, without destroying the scintillating driving experience that is Cadillac CTS.

    Price Check: 2010 - 2013 Cadillac CTS (January 2015)Year Edition Expect to Pay Today2010 Sport Wagon $17,000 to $21,0002011 Sport Wagon $21,000 to $25,0002012 Sport Wagon $25,000 to $29,0002013 Sport Wagon $30,000 to $35,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicles condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reli-able auto technician prior to purchase.

    Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Cadillac CTS:2003 to 2014: Some drivers may bump the ignition key with their knee and unintentionally move the key from out of the "run" position. A subsequent loss of engine power would unexpect-edly increase steering and brake pedal effort, and airbags may not deploy in

    a collision. Dealers will remove the key blade from the original flip key/transmit-ter assemblies provided with the vehicle, and provide two new keys and two key rings for every original key. 2009/2010 - A wax coating applied to rear suspension toe link jam nuts may allow them to loosen. This causes a me-tallic clanking noise from the rear of the vehicle and the toe link could eventually separate. Dealers will clean, install two new jam nuts and, if required, the rear suspension toe link will be replaced.2011: A loss of grease from the centre constant velocity (CV) joint, on all-wheel-drive editions, can result in

    vibrations of the propeller shaft. These vibrations may be transferred to a rollover sensor, located on the floor above it, and cause an unwarranted deployment of the side curtain airbags. Dealers will replace the rear propeller shaft assembly.2012 - The brake booster pushrod retention nut may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly and could separate from the brake pedal assembly. Dealers will inspect the pushrod retention nut and, if necessary, torque the nut to specification.

  • VICTORIA NEWS -Friday, January 30, 2015 www.vicnews.com A11

    quick search of the City of Victorias online Busi-ness Map database reveals

    933 general retail shops, ranging from fashion to flowers to family eyecare.

    Need a lawyer? Some 422 options emerge, all within the City of Victoria. Feel the urge to plan your next vacation? While not quite so numerous, a full 19 choices pop up.

    Add nearby Esquimalt to the mix and, well, its easy to see why shopping locally just makes sense: its all on your doorstep!

    Victoria has a rich and diverse economic ecosystem with a good blend of commercial office and retail, says Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps. Its the second- and third-floor economy that drives the first-floor economy, (so) the more office workers upstairs, the more coffee shops, restaurants, etc. on the first floor will flour-ish.

    While the city earns great accolades for its stun-ning location and scenery, the diversity of its com-mercial sector also stands among its key strengths,

    including a great mix of both locally based busi-nesses and national companies, Helps says.

    Complementing this diversity are the dedicated people working hard to make Victoria a more

    vibrant and livable place. Victorias busi-ness owners are also community members, and contribute to community well-being as well as economic vitality.

    Thats not to say there isnt room for improve-ment.

    We need to improve our investments in down-town streetscape and work to fill vacancies. The City needs to be creative and a good partner to industry to do this. We need to focus efforts on economic development and prosperity cre-ation over next four years, starting now. This will require bold action and implementing new ideas, the mayor notes.

    Victoria is a hub of tech, tourism, government, marine industry, and our social enterprise sector is growing rapidly. Victoria is also a place with local food, beer and coffee scenes that are growing and two First Nations that are on the move with community economic development. And, Victo-ria is a place brimming with innovation. City Hall has an important role to play in nurturing local prosperity.

    And while consumers hear much about the importance of shopping local in terms of sup-porting local businesses, retaining jobs and main-taining a vibrant downtown, the impact actually reaches far beyond that. Shopping local keeps a large percentage of every dollar spent in the local economy where it can be spent and re-spent.

    Keeping it localWhy shop anywhere else?

    DID YOU KNOW? The City of Victoria issued 10,198 Business Licences in 2014; nearly 1,000 of those were new licences. The Township of Esquimalt issued 633 business licences in 2014, including 86 new licences. Looking for a business in Victoria? Businesses can be searched and sorted by type and location at www.victoria.ca/map Need more help? Search the Downtown Victoria Busi-ness Association database at downtownvictoria.ca/busi-ness-directory According to the DVBA, downtown has 24,000 jobs, including: 3,834 restaurant jobs, 3,225 retail jobs and 1,105 tech and marketing jobs. Among the businesses providing those jobs were 255 restaurants, 369 retail stores, 94 medical or health-related businesses and 65 beauty or spa-related businesses.

    Shopping local keeps a large percentage of every dollar spent in the local economy where it can be spent and re-spent.
