Mayors talk A-word with the province Victoria and Esquimalt mayors met with Minister Coralee Oakes to talk amalgamation last weekKendra WongVictoria News
Victoria and Esquimalt mayors took a step closer to the possibility of amalgamating municipalities in Greater Victoria last week.
Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps and Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins met with Coralee Oakes, the minister of community, sport and cultural development, to discuss the idea of amalgamating the municipalities of Victoria, Esquimalt, Oak Bay and Saanich on July 14.
“It was a dialogue, it was awesome. We passed ideas back and forth,” said Helps.
“Ditch the word amalgamation and let’s talk about a regional governance review because if we’re talking just about amalgamation, we’re talking about the municipalities, we’re not looking at the [Capital Regional District].”
Helps stressed the idea of a regional governance review that needs to be done in collaboration with all 13 municipalities. She hopes the study will look at water, parks, transit, resource recovery, waste collection, fire and police and how to best integrate those services.
“I don’t just want to know if it’s going to cost more or less if Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay and Esquimalt amalgamate. Simple data like that, that’s not going to really help us make a decision,” said Helps, noting that the Greater Victoria Public Library board is a good example of a regional board that works.
“Cost is only one factor. I’m interested in quality of life and well-being and how we can best organize governance in the region to support those things.”
Desjardins said it was a “positive meeting” with the minister, but hopes to have further discussions with residents about the issue.

A local choreographer is soaring to new heights with an original performance that will hit one of the largest stages at the Pan Am Games this week.
Victoria resident Sven Johansson, 91, is working as an aerial choreographer on a show called The Thirst for Love and Water. The aquatic-themed piece is about a woman, searching for love who brings six men from different time periods into her world. Through a series of nine scenes, the six men compete for her love.
“They all arrive in her universe at the same time competing for her affections as she tries to find out which one will be her heart’s desire,” said Derek Aasland, artistic producer with Cinetic Creations, who was commissioned by Pan Am Games organizers to create the performance.
“All of the themes correlate directly with love and water and with the basic necessities of life and play very
strongly on our innate competition for these things.”
It is a fusion of acrobatics, modern dance and aerial units that will be performed in the Reflecting Pool at Nathan Phillips Square in downtown Toronto. Enter Johansson.
Johansson, who is also the artistic director of Discovery Dance in Victoria, developed a unique form called ES dance which involves a fulcrum, a 21-foot pole with a counter balance and harness to hold a dancer and a wheel with an operator.
“The operator can place the dancer gravity free up to 16 feet in the air and then of course the dancer can dance in all positions they are put,” said Johansson. “We’ll be in water and I think this is the first time in history when dancers free of gravity can dance in water.”
In the piece for the Games, 10 dancers will be performing in the
Reflecting Pool, which is 200 feet by 100 feet with about seven inches of water, and on a circus stage that has been custom-built.
“This specific choreography has been adjusted to The Thirst for Love and Water,” said Johansson. “There are so many enormous possibilities that you cannot have without the dance instruments.”
Aasland said Johansson’s instruments add a new dimension to the show.
“Bringing Discovery Dance into the fold was a great way
to bring a very unique circus apparatus and the dance apparatus into a large venue format where they would be able to show off their full compass of motion being outside and in the water,” said Aasland, adding he expects the performance will draw anywhere from 15,000 to 25,000 people.
The Thirst for Love and Water will be performed at the reflecting pool at Nathan Phillips Square from July 21-25.

The Maritime Museum of B.C. may have an opportunity to stay local and return to its original home in Esquimalt, says Mayor Barb Desjardins.
Desjardins said the township is interested in starting discussions with the Maritime Museum of B.C. Society Board to bring the currently homeless collection back to the place it was born.
“It has a lot of opportunity when you think of combining the maritime museum and the military museum. There’s a lot of opportunity for that kind of facility in Esquimalt,” she said.
“We are a maritime community, we have the navy and we have the First Nations history as well. It would be a fit with Esquimalt and we’re not far away from Victoria and we’re well connected to tourists. It seems to make sense to me.”
Municipal archivist Gregory Evans said the museum originally opened its doors in Esquimalt in 1957 where it stayed for roughly seven to eight years before moving to Bastion Square in the mid 1960s.
“It was opened by the navy so that artifacts that were important to both the Royal Navy and Royal Canadian Navy could be saved and displayed somewhere, so they set up in that building that was a married officer’s quarters,” he said.
Desjardins started the process of bringing the museum back before it set up shop in the Steamship Terminal.
“In the past, we’ve had some preliminary discussions — that was before they opted to go to the Steamship building. Since that has now fallen through and they’re looking for another building, certainly we would be open to having discussions,” she said.
The next step is to set up a meeting with the museum board to see if they’re interested, something board chair Clay Evans said they’re open to doing.
“We are willing to consider all viable options, particularly if they are on Victoria’s Harbour,” said Evans, noting that with limited staff, they are focused on moving the rest of the collection to a space on Seymour Street and setting up the new office in the Inner Harbour.
“We have had a multitude of enquiries from other municipalities, from property owners and agents as well as suggestions for alternative approaches such as ex B.C. Ferry and RCN vessels. … As it stands we are reviewing options but have not seen any that are viable enough to provide the museum with a successful venue and keep the entire collection together.”

VicPD investigate death of toddler
The Victoria Police Department is search-ing for witnesses in the sudden death of a 19-month-old toddler over the weekend.
On Saturday, July 18, officers were called to Hotel Zed in the 3100-block of Douglas Street at approximately 4 a.m. with reports of a woman screaming.
Officers entered one of the rooms to find a distraught woman, a young child and the 19-month-old toddler.
The toddler had no
vital signs and despite police, fire and ambu-lance attempts at life-saving measures, the toddler was pro-nounced dead on scene.
The VicPD, the Van-couver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit, and the B.C. Coroners Ser-vice are looking for wit-nesses to an event that occurred on Friday, July 17 that may be related.
Officers were called to Clover Point, near Dallas Road on Friday afternoon by a citizen who was concerned
about loud praying and the actions of an adult female who had a three-year-old girl and the now deceased toddler with her.
Police spoke to the woman, children and the caller and are now hoping to talk to any other witnesses of this event.
If you were at Clo-ver Point near Dallas Road and witnessed the event, call the VicPD’s non-emergency line at 250-995-7654.

Recycling and composting options are now available downtown, with the introduction of new waste bins with separate areas for recyclables, food waste and garbage. The new bins make it easy to sort waste and help keep items that can be recycled or composted from being sent to the landfill.
Building on the success of household organics and recycling programs, the new public waste bins collect containers, bottles, paper and food waste, in a user-friendly way that reflects how residents already separate their waste at home. Currently, only single purpose garbage cans are in place on city streets.
Sixteen bins are being
introduced in high-traffic areas throughout the downtown on a trial basis, and will remain in place until October. Throughout the season, the volume, type of materials collected and the effectiveness of the instructions in avoiding cross-contamination of materials, will be measured. Recommendations will then be made on whether to expand the program in 2016.
The bins are being placed in the following in strategic, high-traffic areas including nine along Government Street between Fort Street and Wharf Street; four at the intersection of Blanshard Street and Fort Street; two near the entrance to Chinatown; and one along the Dallas Waterfront Road Trail near Cook Street.

Victoria’s fossil fuel divestment movement is picking up steam.
A rally is being planned outside City Hall just before the council meeting this Thursday (July 23) to urge city councillors to vote in favour of the city’s first motion on fossil fuel divestment.
“We want to show that Victoria residents care about climate change, about stopping investing in climate
change and we want to put pressure on city council, not only to vote yes for this first motion, but to continue to take the next steps toward full fossil fuel divestment,” said Laurel Collins, an organizer with Divest Victoria, an independent activist group that is planning the rally.
“This is a movement that is growing, it’s really in its infancy in Canada and we’re on the cutting edge of it.”
The motion, which
passed 8-1 during last week’s governance and priorities meeting, would see council appeal to the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA), the Municipal Pension Plan, the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) and the provincial government to explore mechanisms for municipalities to divest from fossil fuels.
Coun. Jeremy Loveday voted in support of the motion.
“Victoria has progressive and social and environmental
policies and I think it’s time that we put our money where our mouth is,” said Loveday. “Climate change is one of the most important issues facing the world and our city and I think it’s time to start this conversation and start taking action in all the ways that we can.”
Last month, the Township of Esquimalt passed a similar motion asking for the finance authority to divest from fossil fuels, create a plan to do so
and show what the township’s current investments in fossil fuels are.

OUR VIEW
Local fire risk remains high
If the recent weather situation isn’t an omen for the future climate of the South Island, nothing is.
No sooner did the smoke covering our skies dissipate, we had our first rain in weeks, and the sun returned to blazing glory over the weekend, it’s now predicted to remain more seasonal.
The implications of the recent weather are very real. Climate change is unique, and the effect will greet each region with different results.
Vancouver Island, some believe, will be a couple degrees warmer, and considerably drier, though to what extent is unknown.
Earlier this year, the News published a story about local research scientist Kendrick Brown of the Canadian Forest Service.
Brown isn’t predicting a hotter climate on the Vancouver Island, including Greater Victoria. But others are, with models suggesting temperatures in southern B.C. may increase 2 to 3 degrees Celsius by 2100.
And because of that, Brown and his team have been commissioned by the Capital Regional District to build a report on what he’s learned about the past climate in our region, as paleoclimate indicators suggest the early Holocene (11,700 to 7,000 years ago) was warmer and drier compared to present-day, perhaps something like our future.
Ergo, the early Holocene period can likely tell us what to expect – one element of which are increased instances of wild fire. Brown’s current focus is on sediment cores collected from the Greater Victoria Water Supply Area, including the Sooke Lake Reservoir. And the samples from more than 7,000 years ago do in fact yield evidence of fire.
There have been more than 1,100 wild fires in B.C. this year with nearly 300,000 hectares of land burned. Are future generations of South Islanders destined to live in a fire-prone region? Not quite. But fire disturbance is already increasing in B.C.
It’s good to know the CRD is at least wondering, if not planning, how it can protect our precious water supply against this risk.
Hazy, lazy crazy days of summer
Gosh it is hard to think about an upcoming national election while in the midst of summer.
With so many things to see and do, summer trips, barbecues and parties, the beach and reunions, it is the furthest thing from our minds. However, some of us might find that we have more time on our hands – an excellent opportunity to ask our local MPs about their party’s platform. I, for one, want to know which party will commit to getting us closer to the goal of .7 per cent of gross national income (GNI) for international aid spending. Please note that .7 per cent is less than 1 per cent! Can we not find it in our hearts and in our pockets to give those less fortunate a hand-up? Our aid contributions stand at just 0.24 per cent of GNI, and have dropped from $5.65 billion in 2012, to $5 billion in 2013, to $4.2 billion in 2014.
Meanwhile, the UK has passed a bill that enshrines in law its commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of its GNI on aid every year, making it the first G7 country to meet the UN’s 45-year-old aid spending target. In 2013, only five other countries – Sweden, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark and the United Arab Emirates – had met or exceeded the 0.7 per cent aid spending target. The Netherlands had consistently met the target, but fell short in 2013.
Canada must prioritize international development by
committing to increasing our aid spending to .7 per cent of our Gross National Income by the year 2020.
C’mon, pull yourself away from the barbecue or hammock for just a few minutes, or maybe an hour and do a little research so that you are armed for that fall election. Better yet, let your MP know your thoughts while he or she is home enjoying those hazy, lazy crazy days of summer!

Canada Revenue Agency hot on offshore tax evasion
I am responding to the article by Jim Bronskill from the Canadian Press, concerning the amount of tax debt determined by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to be uncollectable (vicnews.com July 13) .
Here are the facts: When a tax debt is written off, it is not because the CRA does not have the resources to collect the debt. Rather it is because there is no reasonable prospect of recovery, or the amount is uncollectable due to the expiration of the legal limitation period to collect, or the debtor is insolvent.
For perspective: in fiscal year 2013-2014, the Agency collected a total of $330.9 billion in taxes and other revenues such as Employment Insurance premiums, Canada Pension Plan contributions, interest and penalties. The amount written off -— $3.4 billion —
represents only one per cent of the total tax collected. Even when an account is written off, it may remain collectable and the taxpayer’s obligation to pay may not be eliminated. The CRA has the right to collect the debt in the future if the taxpayer is located or their financial situation improves.
Further, the CRA’s actions to address offshore tax evasion have never been more substantial. Most recently, Economic Action Plan (EAP) 2015 invested an additional $58.2 million for tax avoidance by large and complex entities, and an additional $25.3 million to address offshore non-compliance. Because of these efforts we are seeing results. The dramatic increase in taxpayer submissions to the CRA’s Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) indicates that Canadians are aware of the CRA’s focus on detecting and deterring offshore non-compliance.
More than 5,000 disclosures related to offshore activities were received by the CRA from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014, leading to the identification of $303 million in unreported income. Compare that to fiscal year 2014-15, where that number rose to 10,188 disclosures and $708 million in identified unreported income.
This is millions of dollars that, as a result of concerted government action, is now being collected and returned to Canada’s revenue base.

Referendum clear on amalgamation
Re: Victoria, Esquimalt mayors take initial steps towards Victoria area-wide amalgamation (Vicnews.com, July 17).
Unless she was misquoted, it’s curious indeed that the Esquimalt Mayor remains uncertain about the results of the referendum where 67 per cent of Esquimalt voters endorsed trimming the number of CRD municipalities and 87 per cent approved sharing more municipal
services. These were questions that this mayor personally formulated with the (then) council in the lead up to the last municipal election. Now it isn’t a priority for her or her council members, she says.
Regardless, economic development is her new priority. The OECD reports that municipal fragmentation results in degraded economic performance; both the Greater Victoria and B.C. Chambers of Commerce have key policy objectives for 2015 outlining the lack of regional and municipal restructuring as major impediments to
developing vibrant and sustainable local economies.
These messages, along with those from Esquimalt voters, seem to have fallen on deaf ears.

The Esquimalt Legion Dockyard Branch is holding a large fundraiser to assist the family whose home and possessions were lost in a July 1 fire on Admirals Road.
Although the event is for Legion members, folks can join the Legion for only $25 for the rest of the year and can attend the afternoon dance with several bands on stage.
“They’re just doing the neighbourly thing,” says Pro Pat Legion member Audrey Scammell. “They’ve got a great big dance floor there and if you don’t feel like dancing, you can shoot pool or play shuffleboard.”
The music starts at 2 p.m. and there will also be a meat draw and other prizes.
Non-members can make donations and drop them off at the Legion at any time at the door or at the bar. Mark the envelope “Donation for fire victims fundraiser.” If you would like to donate by cheque, make your cheque payable to RCL172 and under memo write “Donation for fire victims fundraiser.”
Anyone wishing to join the Legion may do so any time. The fun begins at Esquimalt Legion #172 on Admirals Rd. on Saturday, July 25 at 2 p.m.

Esquimalt looking to hear from residents about amalgamation
“We wanted to hear from our residents before we’re able to give true input as to what it is our residents were thinking when they’re looking at a study to be done,” said Desjardins. “We want to make sure when we do a governance study, what is it that you’re looking for to
be studied and when you’re talking about shared services, what services are you talking about?”
Desjardins said the township has other interests at the forefront now, with economic development, village projects and the sewage issue at the top of the list.
“Until something can come off our
plate, this is not the top priority for council,” she added.
During last November’s municipal election, Victoria, Esquimalt and six other municipalities had questions on the ballot about reducing the number of municipalities in Greater Victoria through amalgamation.
In Victoria and
Esquimalt, the referendums passed with overwhelming support.

See and be seenfor cycling safety
Although cycling is great fun, it also involves some danger. In North America nearly 800 cyclists die in collisions with motor vehicles each year, and another 24,000 suffer injuries. You can reduce these dangers by following some simple cycling safety tips.
Wear a helmet and wear it properly, not perched on the back of your head. During the day, wear fluo-rescent clothing and, at night, a functional headlight and reflective stripes on your clothing, helmet and bike will help ensure you are visible from all sides. Flashing red lights which can be attached to your bicycle saddle, backpack or helmet are an excellent and inexpensive way of increasing visibility.
Wear sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun’s damaging rays. Remember to replace them at night, with impact-resistant clear sports goggles to protect the eyes from dust, dirt, gravel, and rocks. Contact lenses under protective wrap-around glasses are convenient for those who can wear them. They provide superior peripheral vision. For those who cannot wear contact lenses, Optometrists can provide prescription sunglasses or prescription inserts for cycling goggles. One of your best defenses against bike accidents is sharp vision – so have your eyes examined regularly.
Remember that your bicycle is a vehicle and that you should operate it in a responsible and courte-ous manner.

Dmitri Demers, Atomique co-owner, is looking forward to the event, the third annual. He doesn’t have a particularly favourite performer remarking: “I don’t think there is a bad act in the bunch.” He does say he’s excited to have local musicians, such as Jon and Roy, appearing.
Atomique is aware of possible sounds concerns with their downtown location but shut down Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m. and Sunday at 9 p.m. as they want to be considerate of nearby residents. “They monitor sound levels and we incorporate new sound technology to control the levels while still providing fans with a great music experience,” Demers says.
Concert goers, aside from choosing from the seven kinds of Phillips beer on tap and three Merridale ciders, will be able to enjoy for the first time, a gin and tonic bar with Phillips’ new Stump Gin. For those looking to eat, Ali Baba Pizza, Taco
Justice, The Crispy Fish, L’Authentique Poutine and Burger and Discovery Coffee/Yanni’s Doughnuts will be on site.
The festival takes place on what is normally Phillips Brewery’s parking lot. The entrance for the 19 plus licensed event is located at the corner of Store Street and Pembroke Street. Demers says that there are no major changes to the location for this year but that they are
always trying to optimize the site.Asked if he had any advice for the fans attending the show
Demers said: “just show up and have fun.”Three day passes or single day tickets are available for the
event. The gates open at 5 p.m. on Friday and at 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Audiences have dropped by 40 per centLaura LavinVictoria News
The Blue Bridge Theatre company is fighting to continue bringing the great classic plays of the past to Victoria.
The seven-year-old company is struggling to get out from behind more than $250,000 in debt.
The debt is not due to the company’s purchase of the Roxy Theatre on Quadra Street two years ago. “That’s a common misconception,” says Shauna Salomon, who with her husband Michael, purchased the building for close to $1 million and signed it over to the Blue Bridge company.
For years Blue Bridge’s classic performances were staged at the McPherson in downtown Victoria. They had a loyal following that provided consistent audiences for its solid shows. It seemed all was well. But the cost of doing business at the McPherson is what drove the company to its Quadra Street location.
That move though,
came at a cost. Audiences dropped by close to 40 per cent, hitting the burgeoning company in the wallet. Salomon blames the false impression that the Quadra neighbourhood is “dodgy”. “It was a big shift moving out of downtown from an urban setting to Quadra Village. It’s less urban and people perceive that it’s dodgy - it’s not. It’s not scary, there’s plenty of street parking and it’s free in the evenings. There’s great restaurants opening in the area,” she says, listing its attributes.
When they bought the old Roxy Theatre, they had a vision says Salomon. “We wanted to turn the Roxy into a creative hub for the community. We’re finding it a very slow process, but steady. The debt is like a ball and chain.”
Recently, Blue Bridge was turned down for a $27,000 grant from the CRD, the debt was cited as the cause. “That left a hole and left us scrambling. We’re already the least supported arts group in town,” she says.
The company receives less than seven per cent of its funding from government sources, while other theatre groups, like the Belfry, receive approximately 30 per cent government funding.
“It leaves us more reliant on sponsors and donors, in-kind services. We’re in a cash crunch.”
However, they’re not going down without a fight.
“This is going to be a year of transition. We’re going to tackle our debt.”
Blue Bridge is returning to its summer-only season with three shows in 2016. “We’re also going to reduce our deficit with exciting theatre events and rentals. … Blue Bridge will still produce worthy art, only at half the cost,” she says.
Their last two shows broke even
and many of their supporters have stepped up to help out. They’ve also been able to organize repayment schedules with many of their creditors. “We’ll chip away steadily over the next six months and next year focus on getting the debt out of the red,” Salomon says.
The 2016 season includes Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest and the musical Animal Crackers. If they could fill every seat, they would quickly be debt-free, she adds.
A fundraising garden party on July 26 is hoped to give them a boost. It’s a Downton Abbey theme at the home of artistic director Brian Richmond. Tickets are on sale during Blue Bridge’s current production of Private Lives, which runs to July 27.

Business knowledge earns cashBetter Business Bureau CEO Rosalind Scott, left, congratulates the BBB Business Directory contest winner Mary-Louise Aro. Aro entered the BBB Business Directory contest online through vicnews.com and won $500 for her knowledge of local businesses.
More time and money is needed to complete the Johnson Street Bridge and the cost could continue to climb, says the project direc-tor.
Council approved a $2.554 million increase to the project during a governance and priori-ties meeting Thursday, bringing the total cost of the project to $96.8 mil-
lion so far. “This is going to hurt
all the time. We’re here to make the tough deci-sions,” said Mayor Lisa Helps. “The bridge is all of our responsibilities.”
According to the third quarterly report by proj-ect director Jonathan Huggett, delays have been due to the “ongo-ing delays to the fabrica-tion of the steel in China,
partly due to stringent quality control and assurance imposed by both PCL and the City.”
However, Huggett said the cost of the project could continue to rise before it is com-pleted. “This is just an incremental ask. You would expect substan-tial increases as we go forward,” said Huggett.
