Standing in the crowd of the so-called Super In Tent City, it's hard to ignore the sense of community that's been build-ing for the past seven months.

Dozens of new and old tents have been set up, some with wooden boards to raise tents above the ground and oth-ers covered in tarps. Each of the roughly 80 campers living

there have established their own space to call home out-side the Victoria courthouse.

Last Thursday, the camp was buzzing with excitement as hundreds of people gath-ered in the heart of tent city to protest the provincial gov-ernment's Feb. 25 eviction notice.

Roughly 45 people from tent cities in Abbotsford and Vancouver were bussed in to show their support.

Supporters held signs reading “everyone deserves a home” and “housing is a human right.” They chanted “House us, don't hide us, build homes now” in unison, sending the message loud and clear to the government — campers are there to stay.

The campers have been liv-ing on the provincially-owned land on Burdett Avenue since the fall when they discovered a loophole that allowed them

to stay, instead of camping in parks where city bylaws only allow people to camp from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

The government has announced a number of tem-porary housing options for the campers until more per-manent solutions are made available.

Tent city residents refuse to leave

PLEASE SEE: Residents want other

housing options, Page A4


A local housing developer has stepped up to provide housing for a privately-spon-sored Syrian refugee family, but more hous-ing is still needed to help incoming refugees.

Abstract Devel-opments is provid-ing housing for a family of five — a father, mother, two elementary-aged chil-dren and one middle school-aged child from Turkey that will be arriving Wednesday (today).

The family is being privately-sponsored by the History Refugee Committee, a group of 20 community mem-bers, who are hoping to bring more than one family to Victoria.

Kim Walker, a vol-unteer with the group, had been searching for housing for the past two weeks after finding out suddenly the fam-

ily will be coming to Victoria.

Hoping to find hous-ing close to essential services such as gro-cery stores, language services and the mosque, the group searched for housing on Quadra Street near Crystal Pool. However, finding affordable hous-ing in a city with a low vacancy rate proved to be a difficult task.

“We're looking for housing that they can afford in their second year,” said Walker, adding the group isn't allowed to support the family financially after the second year.

“Here are people who haven't had sta-bility, who have had to flee their coun-try where they have been living in pretty unspeakable condi-tions.”

Housing for refugee families difficult to find

Residents of tent city were served an eviction notice to be off the lawns of the Victoria courthouse by Feb. 25. However, dozens of people have ignored the notice and still remain. They are calling for more housing options.

Eighty-eight spaces at two shelters have been opened — 50 spaces at the former Victoria Youth Custody Centre in View Royal, operated by Our Place Society for the next six months, and 38 spaces at Mount Edwards Court on Van-couver Street, operated by the Victoria Cool Aid Society, for the next 12 months.

The spaces are in addition to another temporary shelter at the former Boys and Girls Club on Yates Street, which opened earlier this year and houses 44 people.

“We've got enough housing for everybody down there, so they don't have any excuse to not come inside, but we also live in a free

country and they don't have to come inside,” said Housing Minister Rich Coleman.

“They have a place to go, it's warm, it's clean, it's stable, three meals a day and we'll bring in supports to help with addictions and those sorts of things.”

Despite being served an eviction notice, a majority of campers have remained past the deadline, saying the housing options are flawed.

Campers said they've formed a mini-commu-nity — an experimen-tal micro-housing proj-ect and one they don't intend on disbanding.

“My community is here. We help each other. We get along quite well. We really do take care of each other better than anyone else

I've ever seen in this city,” said Ana, who came to live at tent city in November after living on and off the streets for the past seven years.

“We're all inclusive and tolerant. We've all experienced the worst of the things out there and we know that we're all safe together.”

Crystal, also a tent city resident, said she's found solace within the community they've formed.

“We have a group of citizens here that now are together and by being together, they've been able to help heal each other,” she said.

The campers hope the provincial govern-ment will consider other options to help house the city's home-less. [email protected]

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF

VicPD investigating James Bay sexual assaults

Victoria police are investigating two possible sexual assaults involving teenage girls in the James Bay area last month.

According to police, the girls were attending a social event in the area on Friday, Feb. 19. Few details have been released, but police said they weren’t notified about the incidents until Feb. 23.

Officers are now looking to speak with anyone who may have witnessed any unusual activity in the area of Dock Street and MacDonald Park on Feb. 19 between 10 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. Anyone with information is asked to call 250-995-7654.

B.C. Ferries prices to remain the same

For the first time in 13 years, the average fares of B.C. Ferries will remain unchanged as the company starts the new fiscal year on April 1.

The costs remain unchanged thanks to the benefit of low fuel prices, which will offset the annual fare increase of 1.9 per cent.

Since 2015, both vehicle and passenger traffic are up by about four per cent compared to the same period the year prior.

Walker sent out doz-ens of emails to rental companies, but heard nothing back. That's when she turned to the Internet, and found an apartment listed on Craigslist in the North Park neigh-bourhood on Queens Avenue.

After contacting Abstract, the company agreed to provide a discounted rent rate for the family.

“What this does is lets somebody move into a basically brand new building with all these amenities and all these things that they require that we take for granted,” said Mike Miller, president and founder of Abstract.

“I'm sure it's going to be a refreshing change for them. It's such a small thing in the big picture.”

The home is part of an eight-unit charac-ter conversion rental building, completed in 2013. The family will be living in a roughly 1,300-squarefoot unit with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a den, complete with full

appliances, parking and a skylight.

“It's a God-send — the help that Abstract is giving with the rent to make it affordable,” said Elizabeth Vibert, co-chair of the group, adding they have bud-geted $1,500 for rent in the first year.

The family will move into the building

on April 1. But other constitu-

ency groups haven't been so lucky when it comes to finding homes for refugee families.

According to Walker, who attended a meet-ing with other groups privately-sponsoring Syrian refugee fami-lies, many groups are

having difficulty find-ing housing.

Jean McRae, execu-tive director at the Intercultural Associa-tion of Greater Victo-ria, said they've had a number of housing leads in Victoria and 10 in Duncan, but are unable to secure leases until refugees begin arriving and the

association can see the family configura-tion.

Earlier this month, the association announced 290 gov-ernment-sponsored refugees will be com-ing to Greater Victoria by the end of Febru-ary.

The refugees will be put in temporary

housing — usually hotels — for two weeks, before transi-tioning into perma-nent housing.

However, in Van-couver, some families have been in hotels for a month because asso-ciations are unable to find housing — a prob-lem McRae expects will occur in Victoria as well.

“I think mostly we'll be dependant on the private market,” said McRae, adding refu-gees will likely begin arriving this week. “I'm sure that we're going to have some people stay longer (in hotels) than they'd like them to and longer than we'd like them to . . . It's just about finding places and that really is the factor. We need to have as many leads as we can to follow up and match people to.”

She added housing tends to open up at the beginning of the month, once people have moved out.

Anyone who can provide housing can contact the associa-tion at icavictoria.org under “Help Refugees.”[email protected]

James Bay's beloved store Niag-ara Grocery has a new landlord who has promised to give it the neces-sary cosmetic upgrades, while keep-ing the community grocery store feeling intact.

Locals Seamus McKeating and his wife Jennifer Gunter have pur-chased the building at 579 Niagara St. and take possession on March 9. Jennifer McKimmie will remain as owner.

McKeating, who lives a few doors down from the store, had been look-

ing at locations around Vic West as potential places to open a new community grocery store when he stumbled upon Niagara Grocery last summer.

“I was looking for inspiration and Jennifer McKimmie said I should do what I love. I asked her if she loved what she does and she said yes,” he said, adding McKimmie approached him about partnering shortly after. “It's been a roller coaster ride, but here we are.”

Over the next few months, McK-eating will be completing a number of cosmetic upgrades such as paint-ing the building and cleaning up the

yard next door, which will allow for more vegetable displays outside.

“We're going to try and keep it exactly the way it is,” he said. “It's the idea of community stores that is what's special about it. You just can't get that same experience when you go into a big store. It's about the community.”

Last August, the landlord listed the building and property next door for sale, hoping to sell the two for an estimated $1.3 million.

Since then, the community has rallied behind the store. McKim-mie started an online fundraising campaign to raise enough money

needed to put a downpayment on the property.

They also floated the idea of mov-ing the store to a new, less expen-sive location.

Now, with a new landlord, McK-immie is excited the store will con-tinue to flourish in the community in the years to come.

“It's a huge sigh of relief for the community. Like when the listing first went up and the community rallied around it, it's certainly done the same with the news of the pur-chase and the fact that Niagara has a long-term home,” she said.

Niagara Grocery finds new landlord, here to stay

Recent approvals by Victoria City Council and the Regional Tran-sit Commission have

cleared the way for the next stage in the devel-opment of improved transit service on the southbound side of Douglas Street, between Hillside and Tolmie.

They’re changes that transit hopes will result in the enhancement of mass transportation options for people mak-ing their way to the West Shore communi-

ties.Victoria Transit has

been involved in the process since 2011 said spokesperson Drew Snider. He explained that it’s all designed

to make mass transit options more attractive, reliable, efficient and effective. He empha-sized this has been a long process that has involved a great deal of

community consulta-tion to date and which will continue to engage the public as plans move forward.

“We had considered the re-purposing of

existing lanes as dedi-cated bus lanes on the southbound side of Douglas between Hill-side and Tolmie, but the feedback we received from area residents reflected a concern that this would only serve to move traffic into adjoin-ing residential streets,” said Snider.

Instead, the plan is to widen Douglas Street to create a dedicated tran-sit lane.

“Resident concerns were certainly a factor in the plan that we put forward,” he said.

But the plan is not without its critics.

Stuart Hertzog, a member of the Burn-side Gorge Neighbour-hood Association’s land use committee, sent sharply worded cor-respondence to B.C. Transit and the Transit Commission in which he challenges the verac-ity of Transit’s claims of community involve-ment.

“B.C. Transit is turn-ing Douglas into an urban freeway,” said Hertzog. “We (area residents) want traffic calming, more pedes-trian crossings and the retention of the buffer between the traffic and pedestrians on Doug-las.”

Hertzog said the plan as it now stands would result in the removal of 26 mature trees and the loss of the green buf-fer between traffic and pedestrians.

Hertzog argued the plan is “at complete variance” with the plan-ning goals of the City of Victoria, which give pri-ority to pedestrians.

Susan Brice, coun-cilor for the District of Saanich and chair of the Transit Commission, said while she’s aware of those concerns, it’s important to realize that the current plans are all part of a bigger picture to make transit run more efficiently.

“It comes after an enormous amount of public engagement,” she said.

According to the recently approved B.C. Transit recommenda-tion, a further period of public consultation and engagement will be fol-lowed by the selection of a consultant, design reviews, and construc-tion tendering.

Construction of the dedicated lane is slated to begin in November and last until March 2017.

Anyone hoping to see Rock Bay win the day and be named the site for a main sewage treatment plant for Greater Victoria’s core municipalities would have been left wanting on Friday.

The Capital Regional District’s (CRD) core area liquid waste man-agement committee did, however, approve a recommendation that may offer flexibility in siting and technology options. The decision included a revisiting of McLoughlin, Macau-lay and Clover points, three locations not previously being con-sidered.

With no agreement around the table on the best option and the $1 billion-plus cost of each of the options offered a major stumbling block, the committee agreed to split up the six parts of a staff recommenda-tion rewritten by Vic-toria mayor and com-mittee chair Lisa Helps and heavily amended during discussions at the nearly five-hour meeting.

The two parts relat-ing to location, and the application of alternate technologies and solu-tions for chosen sites, were referred to CRD engineering staff. They will investigate the feasibility of the new options and provide committee members with more substan-tial details in time for discussion at the next committee meeting March 9, the day the committee is sched-uled to bring a prog-ress report to the full CRD board.

“I think there’s a lot of work that’s been done today,” said Col-wood Mayor Carol Hamilton, who also co-chairs the Westside select committee.

“I think that what we’ve done, by kind of broadening the options –— even though I’m concerned that these are sites that have been (considered), then taken away or maybe not put up at all and not had the public consultation … we’ll figure out how to get through those kind of details.”

The first element CRD staff will be inves-tigating leaves Rock Bay as site for a central treatment plant and Colwood as site of a smaller tertiary plant. But alternatives being costed out include

a tertiary wastewa-ter plant at either McLoughlin or Macau-lay points, and a ter-tiary treatment plant at Clover Point, with provision for a tertiary plant on the westside.

Hartland landfill in Saanich is shown as the preferred site for sludge (biosolids) pro-cessing.

Part 2 of the refer-ral to staff deals with inviting submissions of project concepts that relate to everything from new technologies to integrated resource management, and pro-vide enough detail to compare them to the base case, which in this situation is Rock Bay.

Cost, especially the apportioning to munic-ipalities, was equally a concern for Hamilton. Her city’s taxpayers are roughly 70 per cent on septic and 30 per cent on sewer and many wouldn’t look kindly on being billed for some-thing they weren’t receiving service for.

“At least it’s keeping options that are viable on the table (and) what we heard from the public; it’s about cost control on things,” she said of the overall picture. “So if there are cheaper solutions to be had by building closer to outfalls, it makes sense that we’re

going to actually see that. I’m hoping that we get real kinds of costings and not these planning estimate cost-ings out of engineering that are sometimes up as high as 90 per cent contingency.”

Also Friday the com-mittee voted postpon-ing until March 9 to give a progress update to senior levels of government and final-izing, with CRD board approval, the option to purchase the Rock Bay lands subject to it being selected as the primary site.

Passed on the day were the dissolving of the eastside select committee and the retaining of the west-side select committee for the completion of technical work around wet weather design flows; and a directive to staff relating to pro-curement and project management.

Washington State legislator Jeff Mor-ris recently proposed a bill that would see employees of state agencies not reim-bursed for any travel to Victoria until the city has a primary treatment in place.

If the bill passes, it will be in effect until Victoria has at least primary sewage treat-ment in place.

Help refugees find housing

For the past six months, Victorians have shown how generous they can be in the face of a wide-spread international crisis.

They’ve opened their hearts and wallets to help a number of privately-sponsored Syrian refugee families to help them flee a life of war and despair and build a new life in Canada.

Since December, Victoria has welcomed 28 privately-sponsored refugees (five families and one single person), and has raised more than $1 million to help with resettlement.

One group, the History Refugee Committee, made up of 20 members, has raised enough money to bring two families to Greater Victoria, with the first family expected to arrive Wednesday (today).

Not surprisingly, Victorians have proven their willingness to help others.

Now, comes one of the most challenging aspects of resettlement — finding permanent housing for some 290 government-assisted refugees.

When refugees initially arrive they are put in temporary housing — usually hotels — until the Intercultural Association of Greater Victoria can find housing.

Jean McRae, executive director of the association, said they’ve had a number of leads, but admits they can’t sign leases until families are here and they can see the configuration.

Now is the time for developers, rental companies and landlords to step up and help these newcomers by offering units at an affordable rate.

These families need a roof over their head while they learn the language and begin looking for work and ways to contribute to Victoria’s local economy.

Without a place to call their own, it will be difficult for them to get back on their feet.

Anyone who can offer support can visit icavictoria.org under “Help Refugees.”

One of the enduring legacies of Pierre Trudeau’s time as prime minister is the legal supremacy of the individual, as articulated in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

We are seeing this played out with greater force than ever today, by an activist high court that swatted aside Stephen Harper’s attempts to restrain it, and now orders a meek, politically correct Justin Trudeau government to do its bidding.

The Federal Court decreed last week that people have the right to grow their own “medical” marijuana. This ruling is unlikely to be appealed, given that Trudeau the Younger is committed to legalizing marijuana for everyone.

There are conditions that show measurable relief from marijuana products, such as glaucoma or the nausea and loss of appetite associated with cancer treatments. But much of the so-called medical marijuana industry is based on unsubstantiated claims about an inconsistent herbal remedy that hasn’t been studied much because it’s been illegal.

The Federal Court case involves four people from B.C., which boasts more than half of the contested medical marijuana growing licences issued across the country.

One of the petitioners suffers from

a vaguely defined condition known as “chronic fatigue syndrome,” which led to a disability pension from a federal civil service job at age 45.

The judge cited no research to support the claim that sitting around smoking dope all day relieves this condition. Indeed it defies common sense that a set

of symptoms with no identified cause, which might be confused with what we used to call laziness, would be alleviated by chronic consumption of a drug that promotes eating chips and watching TV.

But we peasants aren’t supposed to question our monarchs, especially those in ermine-trimmed red robes at the Supreme Court of Canada.

That court has decreed that our charter, which in Section 7 protects the “right to life, liberty

and security of the person,” includes a right to have a doctor’s help to commit suicide. Euthanasia has been re-branded as “assisted dying” by all the most “progressive” countries, and Canada has been given a firm deadline to join the club.

(Meanwhile, the term “right to life” is all but banned from university campuses, to minimize the risk of a coarse literal interpretation that it means, you know, a right to life.)

A Liberal-dominated committee of MPs and senators has recommended full-throttle implementation, not restricted to terminal illness and including mental

conditions such as depression and dementia. The majority suggested even “mature minors” should have this new right.

The politicians support allowing doctors to opt out of cases they won’t condone, as long as they provide a referral to another doctor.

In Belgium, one of the pioneers of this brave new world, most of the growing number of euthanasia patients have had cancer. But as The New Yorker magazine reported in a ground-breaking article last summer, others have been euthanized because of autism, anorexia, partial paralysis, blindness with deafness, manic-depression and yes, chronic fatigue syndrome.

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake expressed the hope that Canada ends up with a consistent policy on doctor-assisted suicide, rather than a provincial patchwork.

The closest Lake came to politically incorrect criticism was to caution that “deep discussion” is needed around the court’s notion of a “competent minor,” someone not yet entrusted with the vote or access to a liquor store.

Three dissenting Conservative MPs went so far as to say the recommendations don’t adequately protect seniors who might be coerced into checking out and passing on their estates. How old-fashioned.

Victoria city council has moved to potentially ban the use of pesticides in commer-cial agriculture in all zones in the city, except parks.

City staff made recom-mendations at the commit-tee of the whole meeting last Thursday to encour-age small-scale commercial urban farming — producing

agricultural products for sale. Other recommendations

include permitting commer-cial urban agriculture in all zones, as long as it doesn't emit unreasonable levels of odour, noise or artificial lighting, and permitting farm stands to sell plant products, eggs and honey.

Staff also recommended

a pilot project to faciliate an increase in the number of food-bearing trees in city parks.

The Urban Food Tree Stewardship program would enable residents to plant and maintain a small num-ber of fruit and nut trees in a park or open space in their neighbourhood in partner-

ship with the department of parks, recreation and facili-ties.

The recommendations are part of the Growing in the City project, a year-long ini-atitive to update and expand policies to support urban food production and boule-vard gardening in the city.

Sexism, classism, oppression and repres-sion are at the fore-front of a new histori-cal play on at Langham Court Theatre delving into the world of 19th century slavery in Eng-land

Female Transport, a historical drama origi-nally written by Steve Gooch in the '80s, follows six women convicted of petty crimes in 19th century London as they are transported to a life of hard labour in Britain's overseas penal colony, in what is now known as Australia. These women must over-come their personal prejudices and band together to survive both the journey and fate that awaits them.

The play focuses on the women and

everything they must undergo from the all-male crew, who also go through their own journey of exploration.

“These are stories that need to be told, specifically because . . . they were the founding women of the country of Australia, essentially because it was basically built on slaves and prisoners who were sent over,” said director Mont-gomery Bjornson, add-ing the play has mostly been performed in the university circuit. “The personalities and the stories of the women themselves are very real.”

Deirdre Tipping plays Madge, the old-est of the women in the group who is also gay, in her first play at Langham.

“I really felt this connection from this person who must have

been so very lonely, keeping up a tough exterior,” she said. “She's been around the block and she has her own moral code. She doesn't mind stealing money, but won't let someone who can't help themselves be taken advantage of.”

The play does involve profanity and scenes of violence, such as broom fights, choking, brawling and a whipping.

According to Bjorn-son, the violence helps shed light on the themes of the play: sol-idarity and survival.

“It's witnessing those horrible acts until there's a big breaking point when they (the women) all stand up together and say 'that's it, no one is coming between us anymore',” Bjornson said.

“It's brutal and beau-tiful at the same time

and we hope audi-ences walk away feel-ing like they endured this journey with them.”

Female Transport runs until March 19 at Langham Court The-atre (805 Langham Crt.) Due to extreme coarse language, vio-lence and mature themes, the play is suitable for ages 15 and up. Tickets can be purchased online at langhamtheatre.ca or by calling [email protected]

Beer week. While, to the uniniti-

ated, it may sound like seven days of baccha-nalian excess, Victoria Beer Week is actually a nine-day series of events designed to cel-ebrate the broad range of B.C. craft breweries.

According to Joe

Weibe, the co-founder and co-producer of the event, craft beer pro-duction is a phenom-enon that just keeps growing.

“When I first started writing about craft beers in 2012 there were about 50 craft brewers in B.C.,” said Weibe. “In the past four years that number has more than doubled.”

From right, Graham Roebuck, Taryn Lees, Melissa Taylor, Demelza Randall, Deirdre Tipping, Sarah Cashin and Isobel Scott in Langham Court Theatre's production of Female Transport on from March 3 to 19.

Committed to safety since 1953.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project:

• A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements.

• A commitment to offset any greenhouse gas emissions resulting from construction.• An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.• An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.• Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fi sh-inhabited rivers including

the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.• Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three

BC Class A parks.• Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops

and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion. By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with signifi cant changes to the Project.

“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.” - Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada


Beer Week: gateway to craft beer industryWeibe said he started

Beer Week to celebrate the wide variety of beers that are now available in B.C. and to expose people who haven’t had much experi-ence with craft beers to an exciting range of products that are now available.

“We aim to educate and create a host of ‘beer ambassadors’ for the indus-try. There’s something for

everyone,” said Wiebe.Beer Week is a series of

events spread around Vic-toria. They have names like like ‘Beer School’ (a primer for up and coming brewers), ‘Pucker Up’ (a celebration of ‘sour beers’), and ‘The Definitive Victo-ria Brewery Crawl’ (a self explanatory event). In total there are a wide range of events that are designed to appeal to both seasoned ‘beer geeks’ and craft beer

newcomers alike.“There’s also an educa-

tional component to the event,” said Weibe. “We have sessions on the his-tory of brewing on the Island and some of the interesting characters who, in the past, have been involved in the industry.”

One example of a modern day ‘character’ is Michael Kuzyk, a home brewer for 20 years who left a career as a scientist to pursue a career as the founder of Cat-egory 12 Brewers. “He’s our mad scientist,” said Weibe. “And he’ll be sharing some of that unique approach to

brewing with others dur-ing a fun and informative event.”

And in case you still think Beer Week is only about imbibing in tasty bever-ages, Weibe is quick to emphasize that the event is very closely tied to the full range of food that is avail-able on the island.

“We’ve got events that couple beer with everything from local cheeses to pizza to seafood,” said Weibe.

“The idea is to increase business for all facets of the B.C. craft beer industry, including not only brewer-ies and home brew supply stores but also a whole range of pubs and restau-rants where those brews can be enjoyed in conjunc-tion with some really fantas-tic food.”

Beer Week runs March 4 to 12. For more information visit victoriabeerweek.com.

Doc Marty on call for much-needed stretchersChristine van ReeuwykBlack Press

Marty the Marmot’s among the most pre-pared of mascots after a quick training ses-sion on splints this week at Royal Jubilee Hospital.

The Victoria Roy-als mascot was on hand for a tutorial and photo shoot to promote the second annual Hockey for Hospitals campaign.

The local hockey team seeks to slay the Vancouver Giants March 5, and the goal is to raise $27,000 for three specialized elec-tric stretchers for the Victoria General and Royal Jubilee Hospital emergency depart-ments.

“Last year, the emer-gency departments at Victoria General and Royal Jubilee hospi-tals helped more than 108,000 people, includ-ing more than 14,000 children,” said Dr. Christine Hall. “Many of these patients will need a stretcher, and it’s comforting to know our hospitals will have the most advanced equipment. We are thrilled to be work-ing with the Royals

again this year. When community members work together to help our hospitals the out-come always benefits patients.”

Marty helped dem-onstrate the weighing feature of the high-

tech electric stretch-ers. In trauma and crit-ical situations medica-tions are given based on weight.

Once Marty’s once-over was complete, he learned about splint-ing.

“The Victoria Roy-als are proud to help raise funds for our local hospitals so that patients can be cared for with the best equipment available. It’s gratifying to see the community and our fans step up and support our hospitals on game night,” said Cam Hope, Royals president and general manager.

“These stretchers are going to make a difference to a lot of people — you never know when you’ll find yourself in the emer-gency room.”

Last year’s inaugural Hockey for Hospitals fans raised $25,000 for three transport-able vital signs moni-tors for the ER at Vic-toria General Hospital.

The Royals face the Giants at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Cen-tre on March 5. Tickets are available online at selectyourtickets.com/promo. Use the promo code STRETCHERS to be entered to win a game night prize pack-age: Box suite for six for the game, dinner for six at Bin 4 Burger, and luxury transport from L.A. Limousines to and from the game.

Victoria Royals mascot Marty the Marmot wraps a cast on Chris Hawkins (a nurse acting as patient) to promote the Hockey for Hospitals campaign.

With soaring cedar beams carved from locally sourced timber, and a gleaming steel and glass shell encasing an open concept 4,400-square-foot atrium, Camosun College’s new $30-million Centre for Trades Education and Innovation is not the kind of building that people usually associate with heavy duty trades training.

With 80,000 square feet of learning space, the facility aims to build upon Camosun’s position as the largest provider of trades training on Vancouver Island. Built to LEED gold standards and opened last week, the building includes a new Marine and Metal Trades Centre to house welding, sheet metal, metal fabrication, nautical training, ship building and repair programs and a new Mechanical Trades Centre to house heavy duty and commercial truck

transport mechanics and automotive service tech-nician programs.

The new building provides space for hundreds of additional students, significantly ramping up capac-ity on the south Island at a time when the demand for skilled tradespeople is growing.

For nautical training students in particular, the building is able to combine a purpose-built simula-tion lab and classroom space for the first time, help-ing to meet the anticipated future needs of industry.

“I think that new top-of-the-line technologies is what will really set it apart,” said Sara Wilson, a recent sheet metal graduate. “Students with hands-on experience will have a leg-up when they get into the real world.”

Captain Ivan Oxford, program leader for Camo-sun’s popular nautical training program, hopes more local students realize the advantages of prac-tical trades training provided on the Island.

“I have so many students that come from around the Victoria region and say ‘we didn’t even know that Camosun provided things like nautical training or the other trades we offer. We’ve been over in Van-couver taking training, and we didn’t know that we could take it here in our own backyard’.”

The provincial government provided $30 mil-lion to construct the building while the Camosun College Foundation is embarking on a $5 million TRADEmark fundraising campaign to outfit it with the latest classroom materials and teaching tech-nology.

“Last year, the emer-gency departments at Victoria General and Royal Jubilee hospi-tals helped more than 108,000 people, includ-ing more than 14,000 children,” said Dr. Christine Hall. “Many of these patients will need a stretcher, and it’s comforting to know our hospitals will have the most advanced equipment. We are thrilled to be work-ing with the Royals

again this year. When community members work together to help our hospitals the out-come always benefits patients.”

Marty helped dem-onstrate the weighing feature of the high-

tech electric stretch-ers. In trauma and crit-ical situations medica-tions are given based on weight.

Once Marty’s once-over was complete, he learned about splint-ing.

“The Victoria Roy-als are proud to help raise funds for our local hospitals so that patients can be cared for with the best equipment available. It’s gratifying to see the community and our fans step up and support our hospitals on game night,” said Cam Hope, Royals president and general manager.

“These stretchers are going to make a difference to a lot of people — you never know when you’ll find yourself in the emer-gency room.”

Last year’s inaugural Hockey for Hospitals fans raised $25,000 for three transport-able vital signs moni-tors for the ER at Vic-toria General Hospital.

The Royals face the Giants at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Cen-tre on March 5. Tickets are available online at selectyourtickets.com/promo. Use the promo code STRETCHERS to be entered to win a game night prize pack-age: Box suite for six for the game, dinner for six at Bin 4 Burger, and luxury transport from L.A. Limousines to and from the game.

Victoria Royals mascot Marty the Marmot wraps a cast on Chris Hawkins (a nurse acting as patient) to promote the Hockey for Hospitals campaign.

With soaring cedar beams carved from locally sourced timber, and a gleaming steel and glass shell encasing an open concept 4,400-square-foot atrium, Camosun College’s new $30-million Centre for Trades Education and Innovation is not the kind of building that people usually associate with heavy duty trades training.

With 80,000 square feet of learning space, the facility aims to build upon Camosun’s position as the largest provider of trades training on Vancouver Island. Built to LEED gold standards and opened last week, the building includes a new Marine and Metal Trades Centre to house welding, sheet metal, metal fabrication, nautical training, ship building and repair programs and a new Mechanical Trades Centre to house heavy duty and commercial truck

transport mechanics and automotive service tech-nician programs.

The new building provides space for hundreds of additional students, significantly ramping up capac-ity on the south Island at a time when the demand for skilled tradespeople is growing.

For nautical training students in particular, the building is able to combine a purpose-built simula-tion lab and classroom space for the first time, help-ing to meet the anticipated future needs of industry.

“I think that new top-of-the-line technologies is what will really set it apart,” said Sara Wilson, a recent sheet metal graduate. “Students with hands-on experience will have a leg-up when they get into the real world.”

Captain Ivan Oxford, program leader for Camo-sun’s popular nautical training program, hopes more local students realize the advantages of prac-tical trades training provided on the Island.

“I have so many students that come from around the Victoria region and say ‘we didn’t even know that Camosun provided things like nautical training or the other trades we offer. We’ve been over in Van-couver taking training, and we didn’t know that we could take it here in our own backyard’.”

The provincial government provided $30 mil-lion to construct the building while the Camosun College Foundation is embarking on a $5 million TRADEmark fundraising campaign to outfit it with the latest classroom materials and teaching tech-nology.

Facts about “aging” eyesightAs we grow older, the lenses in our eyes tend to

grow stiffer and less � exible. As this happens, the lens loses some of its ability to focus on near objects. This condition is called presbyopia, and it occurs in all of us – becoming apparent around the age of 40 and progressing as the years go by.

Most of us notice this when we � nd ourselves hold-ing books or newspapers further and further away – the “trombone” effect. Sooner of later this will go from being annoying to being unacceptable.

The good news is that presbyopia is correctable. In fact, the optometrist today can supply you with more options to correct this problem than ever before. Among the available options are:

Reading glasses: If your distance vision is still good and you only have trouble close up, full or half frame glasses may be the answer.

Bifocals and trifocals: If you need glasses for both distance and close-up, the new generation of bifocal glasses can solve your problem. Modern bifocals are lightweight and attractive, unlike their predecessors. Trifocals have a section for those intermediate dis-tances, just beyond armslength.

Progressive lenses: A relatively new advance, these are designed to mimic the focusing action of the normal eye. They can provide the advantages of trifocals, but without the lines.

Task speci� c lenses: People in certain profes-sions, occupations and hobbies that require focus at particular distances can bene� t from a variety of specialty lenses designed to meet their requirements.

In addition, there are contact lenses which can help some people with presbyopia. If you are having trouble seeing close-up, talk to your optometrist.

A local group dedi-cated to empowering women internationally and in Victoria is cel-ebrating International Women’s Day with an art sale.

The Didi Society is hosting an art sale and exhibit on March 5 and 6. Works from 30 local artists will be on display and encompass a range of artistic endeavour. It will also include a vari-ety of mediums, includ-ing jewelry, painting, photography, fabric art and ceramics.

“We’re very excited to be hosting this event,” said society founder Julia Norman. “It’s an opportunity for these talented artists to gain more exposure

and to allow them to provide concrete sup-port to the cause of women.”

The event comes two days before the United Nation’s International Women’s Day and is themed to celebrate the day and the cause of women worldwide.

A portion of all pro-ceeds from the sale of the art will be donated to the Didi Society.

The art exhibit and sale kicks off with a spe-cial reception on March 4 at 5:30 p.m. at the Belfry Theatre. Tickets for the reception are $25 and are available through the Belfry The-atre.

The exhibit runs on March 5 and 6 between noon and 5 p.m. and admission is free.

Michael Langridge admits he wasn't a shin-ing student in elemen-tary school.

Growing up in Van-couver, Langridge would often get into trouble. He would argue with the teacher, end up in the princi-pal's office and get sent home day after day.

But the trouble he'd get himself into stopped when his mother suggested he try skiing in the '80s. He fell in love with the sport instantly, head-ing up to the mountain as often as he could to ski with his brother. Shortly after, he joined the Special Olympic

program. “It's being on the

slopes and enjoying the view. I grew out of that (the trouble) when I went to the Special Olympics because

they don't take that from anybody,” said Langridge, adding he signed an athletes code of conduct saying he would act respectfully. “I just love to ski.”

Now, several decades later and after moving from the Mainland to the Island this year, the 35-year-old is tak-ing his skiing abilities to the next level with competitive alpine ski-ing. Langridge is the only alpine skier from Vancouver Island who will be competing in the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games this week.

“I was shocked and surprised because not everybody gets a chance to go,” said Langridge, who makes the roughly three-hour drive to practice at Mount Washington. “I just love going fast.”

He made Team B.C. after winning three gold medals in super G, slalom and giant sla-lom during last year's Special Olympics B.C. Winter Games in Kam-loops.

Most recently, he also participated in a training camp in Kam-loops in November.

Now, he's get-ting set to make his first appearance at a national sporting event.

Langridge's alpine ski training coach Anne-Marie Sutherland said he's motivated and willing to do whatever it takes to improve his skills.

“He's very engaged. His motivation in actu-ally doing whatever he needs to do in training has amped up, he's very focused,” she said, adding she expects Langridge will do well in the novice category. “I think he's going to do so well that he's going to be bumped up to the intermediate cat-egory quite quickly.”

Heading into the Games, Langridge has been working out at the gym and doing circuit training at local tracks, getting ready to compete in the super G, slalom and giant sla-lom races.

“I just want to get the best time as possible,” he said.

Victoria snowshoer Terri Carelius and coach Kim McArthur will also be competing in the Games.

The Special Olym-pics Canada Winter Games takes place in Corner Brook, New-foundland from March. 1 to [email protected]
