Top bureaucrat embraces privacy recommendations

Daniel PalmerNews staff

Saanich’s top bureau-crat is promising to address recommenda-tions made by B.C.’s pri-vacy watchdog after the District installed and used illicit spyware.

Interim Chief Adminis-trative Officer Andy Laid-law said last Thursday he has already ruled out any future use of Spector 360, an employee moni-toring software program that was installed on the computer of Mayor Rich-ard Atwell and 12 other municipal computers last December.

“We’re not using it again. It’s not coming back,” said Laidlaw, who is serving as interim CAO.

B.C. Privacy Commis-sioner Elizabeth Den-ham released a report on March 30 that made clear the Spector 360 program collected information in violation of the Freedom

of Information and Pro-tection of Privacy Act.

With the support of council, Laidlaw said he intends to implement Denham’s recommen-dations which include an audit of the District’s compliance with the pri-vacy act, updated pri-vacy policies and the appointment of a privacy officer.

“The first thing we need to address is those recommendations and I believe council will be supportive of that as well,” Laidlaw said. “Some of this will be new for local governments. The bar’s been raised on the privacy issue.”

Laidlaw said the Dis-trict’s focus on security came at the expense of privacy considerations, and that Denham’s report has clearly identified a weakness.

Security prioritized at expense of privacy concerns, says CAO

Plastics waste ban gains momentum Plastic-free life difficult to pull off, advocate proves


Tiny plastic beads found in face wash, toothpaste and other cosmetics are finding their way into the waters surrounding Vancouver Island and beyond, and that reality is prompting federal politicians to call for their outright ban.

It’s estimated a single tube of facewash contains up to 330,000 plastic bits, and researchers estimate more than 1,400 products available in Canada contain microplastics. They’re often identified on ingredient lists as polyethylene or polypropylene.

Last month, Victoria MP Murray Rankin rose in the House of Commons to justify an NDP-proposed ban on microplastics under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Rankin detailed the growing body of research that shows microplastics are dangerous to the oceanic food chain, and referenced a study completed by researchers at the University of Victoria in collaboration with Peter Ross, a former federal government scientist who now works for the Vancouver Aquarium.

In that study, researchers found plastic microbeads aren’t just in nearby waters, but they’re also polluting environments as far away as

Haida Gwaii, where little to no industry exists. Plankton are ingesting the food and dying, Ross concluded.

“Plankton may seem a long way from orcas, but of course they are not,” Rankin told parliamentarians. “If the little creatures that are plankton are finding themselves ingesting microbeads and are unable to survive, and invertebrates that perhaps eat them are also ingesting slightly larger microplastics and they cannot

survive, it does not take a scientist to understand that the species at the top of the ladder will have difficult with survival.”

The NDP’s motion passed unanimously with all-party support, and Environment Canada has already launched a microplastics study to determine whether it qualifies as a toxic substance.

Victoria resident Carol-Lynne Michaels, who made headlines when she spent two years attempting to live a plastic-free life, said she was pleased to see some progress on a microplastics ban.

“We see plastic reduction initiatives a lot more often today than we did a few years ago,” Michaels said.

She wasn’t able to pull off an outright avoidance of plastics during her attempts in 2012

and 2014, but Michaels felt compelled to try after watching The Clean Bin Project, a documentary that laid bare the level of plastic consumption found in the bellies of birds and other animals in the North Pacific.

At her home, Michaels displays plastic straws, disposable spoons and a few plastic bags from her 2014 attempt that remind her just how difficult the wean away from plastic can be.

“It’s the single use disposable plastic that needs to stop,” she said. “You use a spoon or straw for five minutes and that will never go away. That’s the great thing for me in hearing the news about microplastics. We need to figure out as individuals and as a society how to deal with this.”

To start, Michaels is organizing a screening of the plastics documentary (ITALS) Bag It in collaboration with the Victoria chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. The April 26 screening and panel discussion will take place at Solstice Cafe in Vic West from 6 to 8 p.m. and will include local business owners committed to reducing their plastic output.

“The goal is to get the conversation started about our consumer habits and ways to help businesses mentor one another,” Michaels said. “Whether it’s as simple as removing plastic grocery bags, it’s a conversation about how we can support businesses to reduce their plastic footprint.”

Saanich cycling festival happens this Sunday

The District of Saanich is partnering with a variety of community organizations to present the fifth annual Saanich Cycling Festival on Sunday, April 19 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The event

features the BIG Family Bike Ride which is a mass participation ride celebrating Earth Day 2015.

The ride will be escorted by Saanich Police Department along the Shelbourne Street corridor.

Participants have two routes to choose from: a 5-kilometre Shelbourne Street route, or a Kid’s University of Victoria route. Stage entertainment, bike demonstrations, interactive games and activities, information displays, a bike rodeo and concessions

will round out a day of free family fun.

The Shelbourne Bike Ride starts at Camosun College’s Lansdowne campus and ends at University of Victoria. Free parking is available at UVic Lot #6 and cyclists are asked to use Henderson Road to access Camosun for the start. Saanich Fire will be on hand with a ladder truck for an aerial group photo. Kid’s UVic Ride starts from UVic parking lot #10. See saanichcyclingfestival.ca for more information.

Denham also said District officials demonstrated poor comprehension of privacy law, that the decision to purchase the software was rushed by senior bureaucrats and that the software did not serve its purported purpose of increasing IT security.

“We do have a privacy program in place, but security was our first priority, and we need to look at that through a different lens so that privacy is incorporated into everything we do going forward,” Laidlaw said.

“I’m not complaining about the report. It was very complete. ... I’m hopeful we can learn

from this and go forward,” he said.

When asked if any employees would be fired or reprimanded for contravention of privacy law, Laidlaw said he cannot comment on personnel matters.

Laidlaw left for vacation on April 3 and returns to the District on April 29. Carrie MacPhee, director of legislative services, will assume CAO responsibilities during Laidlaw’s absence.

Police nab lone equineon the lam

An escaped horse found near Elk Lake kept Saa-nich police officers busy on the weekend.

The brown mare was found wandering in the 5500-block of Hamsterly Rd. last Saturday, which prompted Saanich Police to put out a descrip-tion of the animal. It had been captured without incident and was being held temporarily at a local farm while police sought out its owner, said Sgt. Steve Eassie.

“The owner of the horse was identified later that same evening,” Eassie said. “They called in to advise that they were the owners, and that they had already made arrangements to have the ani-mal returned the following day.”

The horse was returned without [email protected]

Diabetes and your sightMost people know that diabetes is a disease

that affects the blood sugar levels in the body. The symptoms of diabetes include unusual thirst, fatigue and hunger, and increased need to urinate. Those with the acute, Type 1, form of diabetes will need and seek treatment because their symptoms are severe. Many people with the less acute, Type 2, form of the disease can try to ignore their symptoms and they live with chronically elevated blood sugar levels. This damages many tissues in the body including the blood vessels.

Optometrists are often the first to detect diabetes because its onset can cause a relatively sudden change in vision. This change can be reversed when the blood sugar level is controlled. Poorly controlled diabetes can have very serious effects on the eyes. Blood vessels can leak in the retina at the back of the eye and small blood vessels can grow where they should not. This is called diabetic retinopathy, and if untreated can lead to blindness. Retinal specialists often use lasers to control the spread of the retinopathy.

If you are overweight, over forty, have a family history of diabetes, or are experiencing symptoms, you should ask your family physician about the possibility of diabetes. If diabetes is diagnosed, your family physician will want you to have regular eye exams as part of the monitoring of the disease. Sometimes a team of professionals will work to help you develop a healthy lifestyle with suitable nutrition and exercise. In some cases medication can be avoided by a change in diet. Your Optometrist can be an important member of your team.

Limiting plastic use a good start

It’s time to do away with plastic microbeads in our cosmetics, cleansers and toothpastes.

There is good reason to believe these plastic microbeads are already clogging up the bodies of miniscule marine life after being swept down the drains and excreted through ocean outfalls. Even in areas with sewage treatment (i.e. everywhere but Greater Victoria), the tiny flakes of plastic are still finding their way into the Great Lakes and other bodies of water in disturbing concentrations.

Europeans are ahead of North America in the fight against microplastics in everyday products. As an example, two Dutch-based advocacy groups launched an app in 2012 that identifies which products contain plastic microbeads (see BeatTheMicrobead.org).

But the momentum is shifting in North America. New Jersey recently banned the manufacture and sale of plastic microbeads in cosmetic product, and a ban already exists in Illinois; several other states are considering similar measures. Consumers are also getting more conscientious about plastic waste, and should be applauded for avoiding products that contain plastic beads.

But why do manufacturers continue to use plastic microbeads in their products? Exfoliation and esthetics are the advertised reasons, but it really comes down to cost-savings, which hardly justifies their continued use. It turns out natural exfoliants like rice, apricot seeds, nut shells and even bamboo work even better than microbeads for exfoliation because they have rough edges.

Companies like Johnson & Johnson, Unilever, The Body Shop, L’Oreal, Colgate-Palmolive and others are sensing the shift in direction and have already started phasing out microbeads in an effort to eliminate their use by 2015. Environment Canada is now studying the potential toxicity of microplastics, but government does has a way of dredging through any new regulatory measures.

In the meantime, avoid purchasing any products with polyethylene or polypropylene in the ingredients list. Aquatic life will thank you for it.

Re: District privacy failures need ‘structural fix:’ councillors, News (April 3)

Saanich News is to be congratu-lated on its ongoing, balanced and thoughtful coverage of Saanich politics.

I voted for Richard Atwell in November because I saw many issues in Saanich which were not being addressed, and a public which was not allowed to address council on substantive matters.

This lack of public input at coun-cil meetings has recently been rec-tified by Coun. Colin Plant, bringing forward an amended council pro-cedure bylaw which will come into effect in April. Listening to some councillors views on public input was eye opening, to say the least.

The Privacy Commissioner’s report has validated the con-cerns of many of us who voted for change.

As a retired CIO of a local Crown Corporation, I could not believe what I was hearing in early January in the defense of the Spector 360 system.

It now turns out that the lack of understanding of privacy issues at Saanich municipal hall is profound.

Given the recent astonishing comments by Coun. Vic Derman (who I also voted for) who contin-ues to defend what is going on, and to say there is no incompetence shows the problems are deep indeed – as evidenced by former IT staffer John Woodland’s revelations – at both the senior staff level and with some councillors.

All of this is even more astonish-ing given the legislation has been in place for 20 years. What has been going on during that time? Council should not try to explain this away, the public deserves more respect than that!

It is now time to set up the municipal governance review, for which 88 per cent of us voted, and look at other ways Saanich can improve, instead of resting on its now tarnished laurels.

The labour situation in B.C. is showing increased signs of strain, even before a long-promised boom in heavy construction gets set to ramp up this summer.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced last week that B.C. is suspending its “provincial nomination” program for 90 days. This program allows the province to recommend people for federal immigration, based on skills in demand in B.C.

The B.C. provincial nomination program saw its number of applications triple to 1,200 for the month of December, as the federal government cracked down on the temporary foreign worker program. Thousands of TFWs who have hit the four-year deadline are being sent home, with many of them turning to the provincial nomination track. Bond has been pleading with Ottawa to raise B.C.’s annual provincial nomination quota from 5,000 to 7,000 or more. The three-month pause is so her ministry can add staff and speed up processing time. Backlogged applicants will still be considered, and exemptions for health care workers and a northeast pilot program are being maintained.

Even with the current slump in energy prices and before anticipated pipeline and liquefied natural gas projects start, the labour shortage in the northeast is near crisis. In Fort St. John, grocery and hardware

retailers have come to depend on foreign workers to keep going.

This summer, work is scheduled to start on the Site C dam on the Peace River, the most costly construction project in B.C.

history. And a union vs. non-union battle reminiscent of the old Expo 86 labour wars is underway. The B.C. and Yukon Building Trades (BCYT) are demanding a project agreement that requires all workers on Site C to be paid their rates, and are warning of chaos on the huge project if they don’t get their way. BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald told me that’s not all they want. They are also seeking quotas for members

of their unions on a project that

will be a small city of 1,700 people at peak construction.

Their formula would add millions in costs to the project, driving up BC Hydro rates even more than they are already rising. BC Hydro has already done dam upgrade projects using a “managed open site” model and it’s not inclined to return to the era of W.A.C. Bennett as BCYT executive director Tom Sigurdson demands.

Sigurdson makes a valid point that when two concrete masons compare paycheques on the Site C project and one sees he’s making $5 an hour less, he won’t be happy. He will want the higher rate, and the BCYT is taking BC Hydro to court to ensure they can recruit new members on the site.

It looks like a hot summer ahead.

The NHL is coming to the Saanich Peninsula next season.

Panorama Recreation Centre’s Arena B in North Saanich erupted in cheers and shouts as the announcement was made Saturday afternoon that the rink was the top vote-getter in the final round of the Kraft Hockeyville competition. Their 1.1 million votes put Panorama over the top, not only to take home $100,000 for arena improvements but to host an NHL preseason game. Panorama defeated Chatham, Ontario for Hockeyville’s premier award.

The announced match will be between the Vancouver Canucks and the San Jose Sharks, featuring Peninsula hockey product Matt Irwin.

Jason Fletcher, who initially nominated Panorama in the Kraft Hockeyville challenge, says he was thrilled that the rink won and he quickly credited the community and the scores of volunteers who made it all happen.

“We were half a million votes better,” he says. “Hats off to

all of the volunteers. I may have started the ball rolling but this went a lot bigger than just me.”

Fletcher was celebrating his birthday Saturday and says the Hockeyville win certainly was a topper.

He says the effort and all of the votes shows that hockey is ingrained in everyone’s spirit in Canada.

“It doesn’t have to be 30 degrees below zero or covered in snow,” Fletcher says, indicating Vancouver Island’s typically balmy winter weather. “This will be great for the kids to see their heroes play hockey on the Saanich Peninsula.”

Wayne Ruffle, chair of the Peninsula Recreation Commission, says he sends his thanks out to everyone who voted, as well as Panorama staff and community volunteers who worked hard to get the word out.

“My head is just spinning,” Ruffle says. “And congratulations, too, to Chatham for being right there and winning $100,000 as well. It’s a fabulous thing to happen to our area.”

Saanich Peninsula community leaders were on hand to

witness the event. Sidney and Central Saanich mayors Steve Price and Ryan Windsor, respectively, noted the NHL game will be a boon for the region. They agreed that on a larger scale, it was the community that did the work.

North Saanich Councillor Geoff Orr, whose children played in the arena coming

up with Peninsula Minor Hockey, says Panorama may be in his community, but so many people throughout the area use it.

“It’s a Peninsula thing,” Orr says, adding he still plays adult rec. hockey there.

Saanich North and the Islands MLA Gary Holman adds the win was “remarkable”.

He says even MLAs from across B.C. got on board. Panorama in his riding, and Dawson Creek in the riding of Liberal MLA Mike Bernier, were in the finals

for the west. The two agreed, says Holman, to support each other should one emerge victorious.

“Mike lived up to his end of the bargain,” Holman says.

Fletcher notes that now the work begins. He says representatives with the NHL will be in North Saanich Tuesday (April 7) to inspect the arena and begin the preparations to hold

the hockey game at Panorama.

“We get to showcase our community on a very big stage,” he [email protected]

CULTURAL ASSOCIATION OF VICTORIA

Indian celebration offers a cultural immersionSaanich Fairgrounds playing host to family oriented event

For members of the Sikh community, the centuries-old festival of Vaisakhi marks the beginning of the new year, the birth of the Khalsa and the completion of the wheat harvest.

While local residents with the non-profit India Canada Cultural Association may not be as directly involved in agri-culture as their forebearers, the marking of this special time of year in Greater Victoria offers numerous opportunities to experience Indian food, traditional dance and other cultural activities.

Not so ironically, this Sunday’s Vai-sakhi Mela (a Sanskrit word meaning gathering, or to meet) is happening at the Saanich Fairgrounds, a Central Saa-nich venue tied directly to agricultural celebrations.

The free gathering at the fairgrounds represents the festival side of Vaisakhi, one of the most important cultural events of the year globally for members of the Sikh community – Hindus, Bud-dhists and Tamils also celebrate, but in slightly different ways. The festival also includes special prayer services and events at the gurdwaras (temples).

It’s primarily about family, says Serena Rai, a Victoria resident who has danced the traditional Indian bhangra style since she was five and performed often at such celebrations.

“We’re a close group. We all kind of

pull together and work well as a group in order to make it a fun event for every-body,” she says.

While the mela has plenty of out-ward cultural appeal, Rai, as part of the younger generation, also appreciates the efforts being made to maintain her eth-nic Indian heritage.

“It’s so important to look at what our elders are doing for us as a community,” she says of Vaisakhi-related events. “It makes me very proud to know my chil-dren (will be able to participate), as this is being passed from generation to gen-eration.”

Gordy Dodd, a well-known Greater Vic-toria merchant and president of the India Canada Cultural Association, noted that the marking of Vaisakhi can have many beneficial elements.

“(This) celebration is about sharing and family,” he said.

“I firmly believe that when a commu-nity gathers in sharing its food, culture, music, art and dance, then our whole community of Victoria gains a sense of tranquility, equality and belonging that is spiritually healing for all of us.”

The Vaisakhi Mela, running from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at 1528 Stelly’s X Rd. in Central Saanich, features a market, authentic Indian food stalls, henna tat-too applications and a variety of free chil-dren’s activities.

There will be outfit, food and decora-tion contests for attendees to take part in. From an entertainment standpoint, there will be various musical and dance performances and competitions, head-lined by members of the Apna Virsa

(translates to our cultural roots), which is billed as the region’s premier Punjabi arts and culture group.

According to Khushia Gill, the coach and leader of Apna Virsa, “Cultural dance knows no race, colour or ethnicity; only talent and passion.” and this groups remarkable energy and synergy symbol-izes this way of dance.

The ICCA is mandated to celebrate and raise awareness about the power, diversity and colour of India’s rich cul-ture. For more than 40 years, the soci-ety has worked towards creating bridges between the Indo-Canadian community in Greater Victoria and other cultural groups.

Getting there and backFor people wishing to attend Vaisakhi events in Saanichton but looking to avoid driving, transportation will be provided from various locations.n Vehicles will leave the Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple at 1210 Topaz Ave. at 11:30 a.m., noon and 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. Departures from Saanich Commonwealth Place are at noon, 12:30, 2, 3 and 4 p.m.n Vehicles also leave Mayfair Centre from the Toys R Us entrance at noon, 1 and 2 p.m., while departures from Sizzling Tandoor at Uptown happen at 12:30, 1:30 and 2:30 p.m.n Regular return times from the fairgrounds begin at 12:30 p.m. and run every 15 minutes starting at 4:30.

Don Denton/Black Press

Jo-Anne Montgomery, president of non-profit society Wear 2 Start, at the organization’s offices at 216 - 733 Johnson St. Cordova Bay clothing store SomeThing More is helping to raise awareness and donations for the non-profit society.


It only takes a few seconds to make a first impression in a job interview, and looking the part is half the battle.

But for some people, purchas-ing even one professional out-fit can be financially ruinous as they work to rebuild their lives after a divorce, job loss or long-term medical problem.

Enter Wear 2 Start, a non-profit organization that helps women dress their best for that all-important job interview or first few days on the job. The society provides suitable cloth-ing, shoes and accessories, as well as other essential services like haircuts, makeup and alter-nations to women re-entering the work force.

“So many women come in, their shoulders are slumped, there’s no eye contact. But by the time they leave, we’re all laugh-ing like friends,” says Diane Car-

penter, Wear 2 Start community liaison. “We get a mix of women who have a very high level of education. We get entrepreneurs who have fallen on hard times, students, single moms. Women from all walks of life.”

Clients are referred by agen-cies that provide job training, skills development and job re-entry services for women of all ages and backgrounds including GT Hiring Solutions. Wear 2 Start relies on donations and fundrais-ing for all its services, as well as a stable commitment from about 15 volunteers plus seven board members.

Karen Zanetti, owner of Some-Thing More clothing store at Mattick’s Farm Shopping Centre in Cordova Bay, donates much-needed plus-size clothing to Wear2Start. Now, Zanetti is put-ting out the call to her clients and anyone else for gently used clothing, which can be dropped off at her store or at Wear 2 Start’s downtown location at 216-733 Johnson St.

“When I lived in Yukon, we had a similar program up there where we trained women up and got them jobs,” Zanetti said. “At that time, I didn’t have a cloth-ing store, so I used to go around the local stores to find clothes for these people. So when i got my own store, I wanted to make that a permanent part of my business.”

Cash donations can also be made online at canadahelps.org, or cheques can be made out to “Wear 2 Start Society” and dropped off or mailed to Wear 2 Start, 216-733 Johnson St., V8W 3C7.

Specifically, the organiza-tion needs new or gently worn, clean clothing suitable for inter-views or work with a focus on much needed sizes 2-6 and 18-24; purses and shoes in neu-tral colours appropriate to the workplace; accessories; and new makeup and toiletries.

Wear 2 Start’s hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Saturday.

Fourteen-year-old Saanich musician Rachel Lee’s video took top honours among the Grade 10 level-entries for The Royal Conservatory of Music’s (Toronto) recent Video Challenge.

The competition was open to all students in Canada and U.S.A. with more than 600 entries in total.

All Grade 10 level entrants performed Dance (Juba) by composer Nathaniel Dett, and Lee’s exu-berant expression was judged to have captured it best.

The prize is a different type of honour. In addi-tion to having her video included on the RCM web-

site (watch it online at bit.ly/1CdMNU1), it will be featured in six RCM events across Canada, along with the launch of the RCM Celebration Series of piano literature for music teachers and students.

Lee is a Mount Douglas secondary student and studies locally at PJ Music Studio and at the Victo-ria Conservatory of Music.

7x2PV Events - Pet Expo - 2307

“What is good for your heart is good for your brain,” says Meriel Randerson, regional education a support coordina-tor for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. for Greater Victo-ria.

Better control and detection for hyper-tension and diabetes, as well as measures to encourage smok-ing cessation and to reduce cardiovascular risk, have the poten-tial to reduce the risk

of dementia.More than 747,000

Canadians -- including many in Saanich -- are affected by the brain disorder, and that number is forecast to double within the next 25 years.

“While there is no clear-cut way to pre-vent dementia, you can take steps to lower the chances of devel-oping the disease,” Randerson says.

It starts with know-ing your personal risk. Cardiovascular dis-

ease, diabetes, hyper-tension, smoking and depression can increase the risk.

“Healthy lifestyle choices are good for your heart, as well as your brain,” she adds. Residents should choose a diet low in fat, incorporate exer-cise into daily rou-tines, challenge their brains, be socially active and protect their heads.

Another important step: talking to your doctor about your

personal risk or if you have concerns about dementia.

“There is a differ-ence between normal aging and dementia.”

The society is doing its part by offering a variety of local pro-grams and services.

Support and infor-mation groups, for example, serve as a forum for sharing practical tips and strategies for coping with the disease.

It helps create sup-port and friendship with others whose lives are affected by dementia.

“The groups are there for people who want to inform them-selves with current information that will help improve qual-ity of life with the disease,” Randerson says.

“It’s a safe environ-ment where you can learn, laugh, and help each other through mutual understand-ing.”

Eight different groups meet in Victo-ria.

For more informa-tion, please contact Meriel Randerson at 250-382-2052 or email [email protected], and go online to alzheimerbc.org.

It’s never too late to start reducing risk of dementia

Two-time Olym-pic medallist Ryan Cochrane earned his berths for this sum-mer’s FINA World Championships in Rus-sia (July 24 to Aug. 9) and Pan Am Games in Toronto (July 10 to 26) with victories in the men’s 400-metre and 1,500m freestyle swims at the Swimming Can-ada 2015 Trials.

Cochrane clocked three minutes and 47.50 seconds in the 400m, the fifth-fastest time in the world this year.

Fellow Saanich Com-monwealth Place swim-mer Jeremy Bagshaw, was second in 3:49.76. Bagshaw also quali-fied for the worlds and Pan Ams by winning the 200m freestyle, and met the Pan Am stan-dard in the 400m free.

“We’re going through one of the hardest years of train-ing,’’ Cochrane said. “There’s been a lot of ups and downs but still it’s been an awesome week of swimming. It’s super inspiring to see how well the younger swimmers are perform-ing.”

UVic’s Jon McKay finished third in the 1,500m, and Saanich’s Keegan Zanatta in sev-enth.

Saanich-based Hil-ary Caldwell, a world championship bronze medallist in 2013, was second in the 200m backstroke, three sec-onds off her record fin-ishing in 2:09.53.

‘In the end all I needed was to get on the teams,’’ Caldwell said. “But I definitely wanted to be a lot faster here.’’

Alec Page was sec-ond in the 200m free, clocked a personal best of 1:58.64 to win the men’s 200m fly, and also qualified for the 400m individual medley.

“The 200m fly has always been a second-ary event for me so it’s nice to see what I can do,” Page said. “I just wanted to keep pace with the leaders in the first 50 and I felt if I kept on track I could something on the sec-ond length.”

National coach Randy Bennett remains on leave undergoing cancer treatment.

Most Canadians don’t know who D.J. Forbes is, but a replay of Con-nor Trainor’s try, in which the latter picked up a bouncing ball and sped wide past Forbes for a try on Friday should go down as one of Canada’s greatest.

The try helped Canada’s men’s rugby team defeat New Zealand’s All Blacks in the sevens version of the game for the first time in history on Friday, 19-15, at the Japan IRB Sevens tournament.

One can’t help but think Forbes, captain of the revered All Blacks sev-ens team and star of the world sev-ens circuit, will ever get caught wait-

ing for a suprise grubber (kick) to bounce his way again.

The Canadians moved on from the quarterfinal win over New Zea-land only to lose a heartbraking 14-5 match versus tournament-winner England in the semifinals.

St. Michaels University School grad Michael Fuailefau scored the opening try versus New Zealand and former UVic Vike John Moonlight the second try and made the steal that turned into Trainor’s winner. Trainor also scored against England and once against Fiji in the third place game. Moonlight scored twice versus Fiji, as Canada lost 21-19.

The first-ever GIN regatta will fire up during this year’s 10th Van Isle 360 Inter-national Yacht Race.

The biennial Vancouver Island mara-thon yachting race marks its 10th edition with a record number of competitors and the inaugural Gulf Islands Nanaimo (GIN) Regatta.

The race runs from June 6 to 20, with a record 52 boats and around 500 sailors registered to participate in the 10-leg con-

test (which starts and ends in Nanaimo).Leg 9 of the Van Isle finishes at Clover

Point, June 17-18, where Leg 10 will com-mence on June 19, followed by the GIN 10 minutes later.

More than 200 sailors are expected to make the GIN dash to Nanaimo, which will become an annual race, as part of Van Isle 360 and as a standalone event.

Awards night is June 18 at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club.

Van Isle 360 is “the race” to sail in on the West Coast, says owner Jeffrey Mot-ley, who’ll see boats as far as California and New Mexico at this year’s event, including former American’s Cup race competitor Dennis Conner.

“The race is just one of those amazing events that it’s on the bucket list of every-body,” Motley said.
