Next on the list for a NatureHood designa-tion is the Victoria Har-bour Bird Sanctuary for its exemplary mix of wildlife in an urban setting.

“Bird sanctuaries in Victoria were originally created to stem the hunting of birds, espe-cially the Pacific black brant,” Sirois said.

Best as we know, only about 20 brant roam at Victoria’s Clover Point, and about 100 will win-ter here. A century ago there were thousands, but because the brant makes for good eating, its local population was nearly wiped out. How-ever, the brant’s sur-vival and resurgence is well documented in neighbouring areas such as Washington State and Parksville/Qualicum.

What hasn’t been well documented, Sirois said, is the resur-gence of other wildlife in the Greater Victoria region.

“I talked to people in Washington State who can’t believe we still have Olympic oysters in the Gorge,” Sirois said.

“Thirty years ago, the Wildlife Service was considering delisting the Victoria Harbour Bird Sanctuary because the waters were so pol-luted.”

Thanks to the efforts of the Capital Regional District, Oak Bay, Saan-ich, Victoria, Esquimalt,

View Royal, the Min-istry of Environment, Veins of Life Watershed Society, and countless volunteers from com-munity groups, the Gorge Waterway in par-ticular is as healthy as it’s been in 60 years, Sirios added.

However, there will be no help from Envi-ronment Canada. Ripar-ian zones, such as the Colquitz, will not be enforced federally.

“Victoria is small fry compared to the big fish Wildlife Service is trying to deal with,” Sirios said.

To help facilitate the sanctuary’s ongo-ing protection, Sirois acquired a few dozen Migratory Bird Sanctu-ary signs from Wildlife Service that should have been posted in the sanctuary’s most sensitive areas 80 years ago, he said,

“If you total the Rock Bay soil contamination effort and other efforts over the last 30 years it adds up to $500 million spent in the Esquimalt and Gorge waterways. Momentum is building, we have a good thing going here. Saanich has already posted three signs on the Colquitz, View Royal is inter-ested, Oak Bay is inter-ested.”

The new Craigflower Bridge has a wildlife sign on top of it but only now will it have the Wildlife Service signs posted under-neath for paddlers.

The Craigflower is a

known passage for the herring which are con-sidered a linchpin in the Salish Sea food chain. They draw humpbacks to the waters off of

Sooke, seals (and there-fore orcas) to the outer harbour, waterfowl and salmon to the Portage Inlet and tributaries.
