Michel Burnett is ready to toss juggle his way to world acclaim during the World Juggling Federation competition in July. Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff

“I can probably do it with my eyes closed.”

- Michel Burnett

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

Seven white beanbag balls start as a pyramid in his hands.

As he sits down to chat, each of the white balls makes the trip easily from hand to hand, tapped on a foot here and there, then dropped inten-tionally to the pavement. That’s before Michel Burnett has even offered to show off his juggling skills.

“I can probably do it with my eyes closed,” the 15-year-old says, then proves it with a little three-ball pattern.

In a self-taught system of trial and error, plus creating his own take on traditional tricks, the North Saanich teen created a routine with clubs, rings and beanbag balls that will go on display internationally this summer.

The Grade 9 Stelly’s student will compete in

the World Juggling Federation competition in Springfield, Illinois on July 8 during the three-week convention.

“This organization is something I’ve been look-ing up to since I started seven years ago,” Bur-nett said. Last summer he found himself starting on the seven-ball skill and decided if he upped his game, he’d be ready to create a competitive routine for this summer’s competition.

He mapped out a routine and recorded it to prove his capability, earning a place among the competitors.

“There’s going to be all the jug-glers I’ve idolized in the same room as me, practising,” he said of the convention where he hopes to catch up with world-champion juggler Vova Galchenko.

Until he hits Illinois, Burnett plans to practice three hours a

day, six days a week, taking only one day off.“If you overwork yourself you might ruin a

bit of the skill, I’ve found,” he explained. Getting to this competition has been seven

years in the making. As an eight-year-old he was intrigued by a Cirque du Soleil video at school — that ironically didn’t have juggling as part of the show — but inspired his goal.

“That’s where I’m headed,” he said of the world-famous circus.

He’s spent the years between training, tweak-ing, and enjoying the people and the sport.

“It’s a fun activity — to jug-gle — I enjoy it a lot,” he said. “There’s a lot of people in the juggling community and they’re super nice. And you can aspire to these big competitions and perform.” [email protected]

The water is warmed with the power of waste, though there’s hopefully little pee in the pool at Panorama.

The recreation centre in North Saanich was the site of the offi-cial launch of the Saanich Pen-insula Thermal Energy Recovery System.

“We, the CRD, received a $2.98 million federal grant to construct a thermal energy capture system taking the wastewater effluent at the Saanich Peninsula wastewa-ter facility, and use it to replace the natural gas required to heat the pool at the Panorama Rec Centre,” said Geoff Young, chair of the CRD board.

The project, initiated in 2008, was completed with support from the federal Gas Tax Agreements Innovations Fund.

Murray Coell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands, recalled when he was among those who signed the documents that allowed for the gas tax funds to go directly to local government

“It’s proven to have been the right decision,” Coell said. “CRD with North Saan-ich, Sidney, Central Saanich have had a number of proj-ects, this being the major project they have done with gas tax funds. It hits all

of the things that we wanted to do as a province, it hits greenhouse gasses by lowering them, it uses innovative technology, it creates jobs in British Columbia.”

The Saanich Peninsula Thermal Energy Recovery System captures thermal energy from wastewater effluent to provide space heating at the treatment plant and hot water at the adjacent recreation centre using recovery technol-ogy.

“The energy recovery system extracts heat from the wastewater effluent at the wastewater treat-ment plant,” explained Geoff Orr, chair of the Saanich Peninsula Wastewater Commission. “The heat is transferred to a closed-loop potable water system using sophisticated high-efficiency heat exchangers. This warmed water is pumped here to the Panorama Recreation Centre where the tem-perature is increased to a useable level with the help of heat pumps … This is the water that is now used to heat Panorama recre-ation’s pool.”

The system is capable of expanding to provide heat for KELSET elementary, Centre for Plant Health, the treatment plan

itself and nearby residents.

“When fully built out, the system could see more than $300,000 a year in total sav-ings for these facil-

ities and is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 1,900 tons annually,” Orr said. “In the meantime Panorama has the pleasure of taking advan-tage of the first phase of this project. With the reduced green-house gas emissions, and savings they’re seeing, I’m confident it’s a project that will continue to be a success.”

“I believe the value of our facility, the pool in particular, is increased significantly by ther-mal energy recovery it receives from Saanich Peninsula Wastewa-ter Treatment Plant,” said Marilyn Loveless, vice-chair Panorama Recreation Commission. “We work to make our society healthy, inclusive and sustainable and this project has done much to further

those goals. “Thanks to this project, Pan-

orama is seeing approximately $77,000 per year in energy sav-ings. By acting as the pilot for this program we can also contribute to better energy reuse across the region, making Panorama part of the solution in today’s world of energy challenges.” [email protected]

Murray Coell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands, Geoff Orr, chair of the Saanich Peninsula Wastewater Commission and Marilyn Loveless, vice-chair Panorama Recreation Commission cut the ribbon on the Panorama Recreation portion of the Saanich Peninsula Thermal Energy Recovery System. The ceremony officially launched the system that will help heat the pool, and could expand to other areas of the district.

Waste not in Peninsula energy plan Thermal energy recovery celebrated

The Sidney North Saanich RCMP is looking for help from the public after more than $100,000 worth of copper and vehicles were stolen off Will-ingdon Road last week.

Sometime overnight on Sun-day, June 26 a business prop-erty in the 8000 block of Will-ingdon was broken in to.

“The property is large and protected by a fence and gate, used to store houses that are in the midst of being moved, and large pieces of construc-tion equipment,” said media liaison Cpl. Chris Swain of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. “Culprits gained access to the

compound and then gained access to 11 houses that were on blocks in the compound.”

The houses were stripped of copper wir-ing and piping that was likely loaded into a truck and trailer that were also stolen. The theft likely took several hours, police said.

The truck is a 2006 Ford F550 dump truck, with a white cab bearing the BC license plate CT 7777.

It has a snow plow bracket

on the front and “South Island Excavating” is written on the sides. The trailer is described as a black, 18-foot flat deck,

tandem axle trailer with the license plate 79386B. It also has South Island Excavating writ-ten on the sides.

Anyone with any information

should call Sidney North Saan-ich RCMP at 250-656-3931 or anonymously at Crimestop-pers at 1-800-222-8477.reporter@peninsulanewsreview.

Jim Parker PublisherLaura Lavin EditorVictoria Calvo Production ManagerBruce Hogarth Circulation Manager

As advanced as we may now be in terms of technological progress, we’ve always had the ability to seek out a better life or, at least, a change.

For some of us that means the condo down the hall; for others, a continent on the other side of the globe. For me, it means a promotion to a newspaper in the province next door.

It’ll be sort of like going against the flow during rush hour, trading in the end-of-the-line, frontier land-rush environment of Sooke for the wide open landscape directly east of Red Deer.

As editor of the Stettler Independent (another paper in the Black Press chain) I get a new set of people, facts, figures and burning issues to become acquainted with. There are even two other papers to oversee in neighbouring villages called Bashaw and Castor.

The situation will be just about as different as it could be: going from Sooke, a scenic, relatively affordable bedroom community with nagging growing pains, to a young municipality with a lot of catching up to do, especially in terms of infrastructure keeping pace with an exploding population.

Geography and maturity (not to mention a fairly healthy oil- and gas-

driven economy) have teamed up to furnish Stettler with some of the amenities so badly craved in a town

like Sooke, things taken for granted elsewhere, like enough sidewalks and streetlights.

The town has a population of close to 6,000, about half that of Sooke. But it seems much bigger because it serves a regional population of 30,000. It’s kind of like Langford East with all of the commercial accoutrements you’d expect. Stettler is home to a healthy arts and culture

community, along with — as the pamphleteers eloquently assert — a world of recreational opportunities.

Claustrophobia is less likely to occur on the sprawling prairie than in a foggy rock-and-conifer dominated Island environment. But if a need for more cosmopolitan stimulus shows up in Stettler, there is a city of 90,000 just 40 minutes to the west, plus Calgary and Edmonton are each only about two hours away.

These points indicate a rewarding, interesting future is possible in an area that residents like to call “the heart of Alberta.” But they will not dilute the fond feelings for Greater Victoria and the West Coast climate built up over so

many years.The last five years have been

good, a good start on a connection with Black Press I’m pleased to be continuing.

I get to trade in my fear of earthquakes and tsunamis for a fear of tornadoes and drought. As for flooding, I don’t yet know enough to cultivate a decent phobia.

Many thanks to the thoughtful folks who have reminded me of the lower temperatures I’m likely to notice in the winter months — it’s very caring and I appreciate it a lot. Thanks to you, I’ve made a note to consider switching to long-sleeve shirts in late October.

Truth be known, my wife Barb and I have spent many years in an area with much more extreme weather than Stettler, and we can report we’ve retained 100 per cent of the feeling in our extremities.

I’ll keep up with what’s going on in the Capital Regional District and watch with interest what happens to Sooke’s transportation arrangements and the ongoing development controversies in the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area.

Thanks to Rod Sluggett, Pirjo Raits and Mike Kraft for the past five years, and to the very good friends we’ve made here — we will stay in touch.

Jim Sinclair was the reporter at the Sooke News Mirror.

Time to swap scenes, hazards

‘It’s kind of like Langford East with all the commercial accoutrements.’

Fireworks fun without booze

We think the message has been made loud and clear: If you want to take in the annual display of Canada Day fireworks in Victoria’s Inner Harbour you better plan on being sober.

Over the past few years, the patriotic party has carried the unwanted baggage of being seen as an excuse by some for public drunkenness. It’s the kind of behaviour that can become enshrined in an annual event if left unchecked. Canada Day is about celebrating a lot of things, including the exceptional level of freedom we enjoy. However, we think the City of Victoria and local police departments are right in reminding people that, despite what some might think, the usual laws still apply.

Victoria is a fun place to go out for a night and there are areas of downtown where police should take a progressive approach to partyers whose revelry spills out into the street.

But the boozy behaviour of past Canada Days has too often created an edgy atmosphere unsuitable for families. The Inner Harbour is a public space that belongs to everyone and July 1 is a special day for all Canadians.

We support the efforts to ensure the few don’t ruin a good time for the many.

Good enough, but getting betterThere’s a philosophy based on being “good

enough.” The simple explanation is you find a way to make something work and allow it to evolve over time rather than grasp for unreachable perfection from the start.

In many ways our own country has followed this approach, especially when compared to the grandiose planning and pomp that led to the founding of our neighbours to the south.

The “good enough” concept was originally used to describe the success of technology companies like Google but is now popular as a general approach to life. For some people, stressed out by the rat race, the philosophy allows them a personal way to find their footing. It’s worked well for Canada, with our current attempts at Senate reform and the ongoing tinkering with our constitution (Quebec, are you finally onboard?).

And that’s good enough for us.

Re: Death’s shades of grey (Comment, June 24)

Doctor’s experience shows other angle to wishes of death

I am a doctor in Oregon where physician-assisted suicide is legal.

In my practice, I have discussed assisted suicide with more than a dozen patients. One of the first was with a man in a wheelchair with a progressive form of multiple sclerosis. He told me that if it got too much worse, he might want to “just end it.” I answered that he seemed to be asking for assistance with his suicide. He nodded affirmatively.

I told him that I could readily understand his fear and his frustration and even his belief that assisted suicide might be a good path for him. At the same time, I told him that should he become sicker or weaker, I would work to give him the best care and support available. I told him that no matter how debilitated he might become, that, at least to me, his life was and would always be, inherently valuable. As such, I would not recommend, nor could I participate in his assisted-suicide. He said: “Thank you.”

When a person says, “I want to die”; it may simply mean, “I feel useless.” When a person says, “I don’t want to be a burden”; it may really be a question, “Am I a burden?” When someone says,

“I might as well be dead”; they may really be saying, “No one cares about me.” In essence, we are not islands. How we respond can either reflect the inherent worth of the person requesting assistance with suicide or cause the person even deeper desperation. Patients can even feel pressured to proceed.

As such, in Oregon legal assisted suicide has undermined trust in the motives of both physicians and family. Under our law, there is no assurance that the deaths are voluntary. Don’t make our mistake.

Dr. William L. TofflerPortland, Ore.

Doctor-assisted suicide not legal after Montana court case

First, Slavin’s article implies that doctor-assisted suicide is legal in Montana, which is not the case. In 2009, the Montana Supreme Court issued an opinion giving doctors who caused or assisted a suicide a potential defense to a homicide conviction. That opinion did not legalize assisted suicide by giving doctors or anyone else immunity from criminal and civil liability for assisting a suicide, which is the case in Oregon and Washington where assisted suicide is legal.

In our last legislative session, a bill that would have legalized assisted suicide was defeated in our legislature. During hearings

on that bill, the sponsor, Senator Anders Blewett, conceded that assisted suicide is not legal in Montana. He said under the current law, there’s nothing to protect the doctor from prosecution.

Second, in Oregon, legalization has allowed the state-run health plan to steer patients to suicide. The most well-known cases involve Barbara Wagner and Randy Stroup. Each wanted treatment. The plan offered them assisted suicide instead. They were steered to suicide. Moreover, it was the Oregon Health Plan, a government entity, doing the steering. State-sanctioned suicide empowers the government, not the individual.

See Susan Donaldson James Death, Drugs Cause Uproar in Oregon on ABC News, and Letter noting assisted suicide raises questions.

Bradley D. Williamsco-ordinator,

Montanans Against Assisted Suicide and For Living with Dignity

Assisted suicide is a recipe for elder abuse

I am an attorney in Washington State. Kyle Slavin’s claim that our assisted suicide law assures patient choice is incorrect. Gaps in our law instead render our law a recipe for elder abuse.

The most obvious gap in our law is a

lack of witnesses at the death. Without witnesses, an opportunity is created for an heir to administer the lethal dose to the patient without his consent. Without witnesses, no one would know what really happened except for the perpetrator. ‘Dad’ would be dead and unable to give his side of the story. Oregon’s law has this same gap.

In February, I testified before the Montana Senate Judiciary Committee regarding a proposed bill to legalize assisted suicide, which failed. At the time of the vote, Senator Jeff Essmann made this observation:

“All the protections (in Oregon’s law) end after the prescription is written. (The proponents) admitted that the provisions in the Oregon law would permit one person to be alone in that room with the patient. And in that situation, there is no guarantee that that medication is self-administered.

“So frankly, any of the studies that come out of the state of Oregon’s experience are invalid because no one who administers that drug against/to that patient is going to be turning themselves in for the commission of a homicide.”

Assisted suicide is a recipe for elder abuse. It empowers other people to kill you and get away with it. Don’t make Washington and Oregon’s mistake.

the HSTReaders respond: Profit sharing the answer to government overspending

Re: Lessons from history apply to HST today (Letters, www.peninsulanewsreview.com).

The problem with Louis XIV was, possibly, he plucked one too many feathers from the goose.

There seems to be a disconnect going on between the amount of money spent and taxes. Everyone is in favour of spending, however they don’t want to pay higher taxes. Unfortunately the two go together.

Higher spending equals higher taxes. Higher wages means more taxes. More military means more taxes. More health care means more taxes. More police officers means more taxes. Higher wages for postal employees equals a higher price of stamps.

In today’s world of globalization, only one type of

pay scale makes sense and that is profit sharing. Profit sharing could be applied to

everything. Small businesses, and government as well.

How it would work would be a certain percentage of the government’s income is devoted to each category of spending. Then all the the employees have to get a percentage of the percentage. If this were applied to pensions, then the seniors would start complaining about governments that overspend. It would help society in general.

Also, politicians who like to spend and spend to get elected would not be popular.

Some businesses see – and keep – HST benefits

Last year I asked a friend who runs a small business what effect the HST had on his company.

He gleefully told me that it increased his bottom line by about $5,000. When I asked if he planned to pass some of these savings on to his customers, he looked at me like I was deranged. No, he planned to keep the profit for himself.

The recent Dinning report (Independent Panel on the

HST) assumes that “… 90 per cent of business’ HST rebates are passed on to the consumer.” This appears to be wishful thinking. They also state “17 per cent of your spending has an extra seven per cent sales tax” whereas the other 83 per cent is unchanged. How is this good?

I’ll be voting to get rid of the HST.

Spunky and tough, 11-year-old Molly acted more like a two-year-old, said Megan Johnston. John-ston was looking after Molly last Friday evening when she was attacked by a large dog in Centen-nial Park.

Molly, a Lakeland Terrier, was on a leash with Johnston and her three other dogs. Johnston stopped on one of the trails to chat with a middle-aged couple with a large lab-collie cross. “Molly went after the other dog’s ball and it just grabbed her by the top of the neck and started to shake her,” said Johnston. “I put my hand down the dog’s mouth and pried its teeth open and wrapped her in my sweater.”

Johnston, who has been working with dogs pro-fessionally for more than 15 years said she felt it was not the dog’s first bite. “They usually show aggression first or give a warning bite — this was a death bite — I have no proof, just my opinion, but it gave no warning no growl, nothing. It hap-pened so fast.”

Johnston pried Molly out of the mouth of the larger dog and was quickly moved to action. “When I saw all the blood I knew I had to get her to the vet, now.” She tried to stop the bleeding by wrapping Molly in her sweater and raced to the nearby Central Saanich Animal Hospital.

“Molly suffered for three days, which included a five hour operation, a secondary complication of pneumonia, and an emergency transfer to a Van-couver critical care vet hospital,” said her owner Marjorie Law. “Finally, her heart gave out.”

Law and her husband Andy are seeking the owner of the dog that attacked Molly. “This is not a plea for sympathy. We just feel it’s our responsi-bility to try and find the dog because it could well

do it again and it could be a child next time,” she said.

Johnston said the couple shouted at their unleashed dog, but did not try to assist her in res-cuing Molly. “I wish I could have got some informa-tion from them but I was just worried about Molly. It was like a hit and run killing somebody. Just a horrible situation.”

Johnston said the couple were between the ages of 34 and 45 and the dog was a black lab-collie cross with a long coat and white on its feet. If you have any information, please contact Marjorie or Andy Law at [email protected].

Salad tosserA door-to-door

salad maker prompted a couple of calls to police over the last two weeks. A man carrying a cooler is knocking on people’s doors saying he’s selling salad, then suggests he’ll even come in and make the salad. In both incidents reported to Central Saanich Police residents said no, and the man left. Central Saanich Police remind people not to do business with those who come to the door, and not to invite them inside. In Central Saanich there is a bylaw banning door-to-door sales. “Certainly give us a call and we’ll explain the bylaw to him,” said media liaison Cpl. Janis Jean.

Annie Ewart will don the spandex for Cycling BC at Road Nationals in Burlington, Ontario.

Five years ago basketball was a top priority, cycling a new hobby.

“Basketball was definitely the first choice that first year (cycling),” she said.

Four years ago her priorities shifted — significantly.

In 2007 she finished second in the junior competition of BC Provincial Road Championships. In 2008 she topped the podium and also added a first in the pro-vincial time trial championships. That year she earned four med-als at the BC Summer Games in cycling and was named Cyclist of the Year – Road, U17 Female. In

2009 she set a new cadet course record in the Sidney Velo Time Trial, represented BC at Junior nationals and competed in the Canada Summer Games. She capped the year as an Olympic torch bearer.

“I have so much fun doing it. Training’s fun and I’m competi-tive,” the Brentwood Bay teen said.

The 17-year-old graduated early from Stelly’s secondary in a bit of a self-accelerated pro-gram designed around her train-ing schedule.

“The teachers there are super supportive,” she said. A fully loaded first semester made way for a season full of physi-cal, and mental workouts during the longer days of the year. “We can all do similar training, but I’ve always been told it’s 10 per cent training, 90 per cent head,” Ewart said.

She races with Trek Red Truck Racing, the team she competed for in the recent Victoria Inter-national Cycling Festival. She’s also a member of the BC Cycling

Team with a goal to win nation-als in road and time trials and to represent Canada at the World Championships in Copenhagen.

“Ultimately the ideal goal would be gold, but podium would be good as well,” she said with a smile.

Canada’s top athletes in all five cycling sports will compete for the coveted Maple Leaf jer-sey at the 2011 Road Nationals in Burlington, Ontario wrapping up July 3.

It only makes sense that Dan Politano’s music has come full circle.

His earliest memory of music was being given a Meet the Beat-les! cassette at age 6.

“They’re the ones that made me first want to start playing,” he says.

At 9, he received his first guitar (and Beatles chord book) as a Christ-mas gift and learned how to play. Now 31, Politano plays in a ’60s cover band, performing the music that made his idols household names that decade.

“We play all the good rock hits from the ’60s,” he says of Victoria-based Younger Than Yesterday. “The Beatles, and (Rolling) Stones, and The Mon-kees, and The Kinks,

The Animals.”Music is in Politano’s

blood. His dad, Bryan, was the lead singer with B.C. nightclub staple

Roxxlyde, as well as a number of other bands in the ’70s. Still active on the local music scene, Bryan is lead

singer with Younger Than Yesterday, as well as That ’70s Band.

“I remember right before our first show, we were in the back room getting changed and he looks at me and says, ‘When we’re in the band, I’m, not you’re dad, I’m just a band member,” Dan recalls.

Younger Than Yester-day has played dozens of shows in the past three years. The band played its 100th gig in May.

Founding member Dan says it’s been a very quick trip from the days when he was scouring the Internet looking for fellow musi-

ARTSThe family that plays together…

cians to start a British invasion band.

“We quickly realized there are so many other good ’60s bands, good American bands, not just British,” he says. “That’s how we got to where we are today.”

The five-member band, which also includes Dean Gibbs, Russ Allert and Josh

Weed, takes covering other artists’ material seriously.

Their repertoire includes more than 50 of the best songs of the decade, and the mem-bers all play the part to a T (wearing mop-tops and the appropriate clothes).

“We have so much fun,” Dan says. “We really put on a good, fun show.”

Younger Than Yes-terday performs at the Army Navy Air Force Unit 302 (9831 Fourth Street in Sidney) today (July 1) from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Canadian mortgage holders have been fortunate for the past several years. The long-anticipated increase in rates has failed to materialize. Today in fact, not only mortgage brokers, but also banks and credit unions are advertising five-year fixed rates as low as 3.65 per cent — near historical lows.

The delay in rate increases has been largely the result of the market and financial tsunami of 2008 and 2009. To avoid an even worse financial and economic crisis, bankers world-wide had no choice but to hold rates at extremely low levels.

Unfortunately for mortgage holders, the low-interest hiatus is about to end. U.S. and Canadian government stimuli are at an end. Economies, though not yet booming, show signs of solid recovery — especially in Canada. Central bankers are beginning to show concern for inflation — a sure sign of imminent rate increases. Bond market interest rates, which drive mortgage rates, are virtually certain to follow suit.

As a result, the Canadian looking in the next few months for either a new mortgage or to renew an existing one, has a somewhat confusing choice to make. On the one hand, five-year variable-rate mortgages

are currently available for as low as 2.1 per cent. On the other hand, a five-year fixed mortgage is available at a very

attractive 3.65 per cent.

A recent survey by CIBC found that 39 per cent of respondents would currently choose a fixed-rate mortgage; 32 per cent would opt for the variable rate; and 25 per cent were undecided.

Why is the decision so difficult? The rate differential between

the two options is the lowest it has been in many decades. It remains a fact that over the past 50 years a borrower would have saved money 89 per cent of the time by holding variable mortgages. However, the rate differential was never this low, with a thundercloud of imminent rate increases on the horizon.

Personally, I continue to favour the variable option. I believe rate increases will not be drastic, nor frequent — an approach which would jeopardize the nascent Canadian recovery. However, for a homeowner with a large mortgage and little budget flexibility, the certainty of a fixed rate may well be the prudent choice.

There is an approach which may provide a comfortable middle ground, thereby

solving the dilemma for those undecided on the best option. Various financial institutions and mortgage brokers now offer a blended solution, with half the mortgage amount locked in at the low fixed rate, and the other half at the lower variable rate.

As of early June for example, Coast Capital Credit Union offered a five-year fixed mortgage at 3.65 per cent, a variable mortgage at 2.1 per cent, and a blended mortgage rate of 2.85 per cent.

If you prefer the lower rate of the variable solution, but fear the considerable risk of rate increases, consider the blended rate option. With that choice, you get the best of both alternatives, with only half the risk of solely a variable solution.

Regardless of the eventual choice of mortgage type, it’s very clear that with rising rates looming, a future mortgage holder will be well-advised to make as many extra, or higher regular payments as possible, in order to pay off the loan as quickly as possible. In so doing, he will often save tens of thousands of dollars in interest costs, compared to the costs incurred with a 25 or 30 year amortization.

A retired corporate executive, enjoying post-retirement as a financial consultant, Peter Dolezal is the author of three books. His most recent, The Smart Canadian Wealth-Builder, is now available at Tanner’s Books, and in other bookstores.

A total of 11,791 interviews were conducted onboard nine routes, with 4,741 detailed question-naires completed and returned by mail.

BC Ferries summer schedule is now in effect with extra sailings on the major routes including the local Swartz Bay run. The Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay route, the busiest route in the fleet, will be serviced by four vessels that will provide up to 32 sailings per day.
