Langford takes $2.4M plunge for rec. facility

Arnold LimNews staff

The City of Langford’s latest recreation jewel, dubbed the North Langford Adventure Centre is opening soon on Bear Mountain.

The centre takes over from the Mountainside Athletic Club and will serve as the centrepiece for a network of planned mountain biking trails and tennis courts.

The goal, as outlined by Mayor Stew Young in his inaugural address on Monday, is to improve recreational opportunities for Langford resi-dents living north of the Trans Canada Highway.

“There was really no opportunity for Langford to have recreation facilities up there, based on the topography and the cost of the land,” Young said later in an interview. “This opportunity came up when we heard that this came up for sale and (found out) it may not be a recreation centre (anymore).”

POLICENEWSIN BRIEF

Driver loses carafter boulder mishap

A 37-year-old Langford man crashed his Chevrolet Malibu across the road from 2859 Florence Lake Rd. just after mid-night on Sunday.

The vehicle struck several large boul-ders and became stuck. RCMP were able to free the demolished vehicle.

A malfunction with the roadside screen-ing device prevented officers from obtain-ing accurate blood alcohol readings, but they served the driver with a 24-hour sus-pension.

The driver suffered no injuries.

Burglary interruptedby nearby neighbour

An alert neighbour likely halted an attempted burglary-in-progress at an orthodontist’s office in the 2700 block of Peatt Rd. at approximately 5:30 a.m. Sun-day.

The neighbour called police after hear-ing suspicious noises from the unit below. RCMP found a window ajar and immedi-ately searched the building, but found no one.

Pry marks were found near the window lock and on the front door. The owner confirmed nothing was missing.

Motor removedfrom boat for sale

An auxiliary Mercury 9.9 HP boat engine was stolen from the 2800 block of Sooke Rd. sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

The motor, valued at an estimated $4,500, was attached to a boat listed for sale and parked on the street. The lock and cable securing the motor were cut.

Vandals shatterJeep’s back window

The rear window of a Jeep Liberty parked on the 3000 block of Glen Lake Rd. was smashed on Sunday. The inci-dent occurred sometime between 4:30 and 8:45 p.m.

Anyone who may have witnessed this theft or who has any information on any of the above incidents is urged to contact the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264, or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Big finish for 2014 Poppy campaignWest Shore residents open hearts, wallets to support veteransDon DescoteauNews Gazette staff

Increased awareness of the role of Canada’s military past and present, along with increased volunteer participa-tion, saw the West Shore Poppy Fund surpass expectations for its 2014 campaign.

Faced with a shorter fund-raising period of 11 days, com-pared to 17 last year, and after witnessing a slow start to the campaign, Poppy Fund volun-teers were bracing themselves for a major shortfall this year. But some well-timed publicity about the fund’s plight helped facilitate a late flood of dona-tions, enough to allow the total to nearly match that of 2013, said committee chair Norm Scott.

“It came out a lot better than what we anticipated based on the returns to date,” he said. “The biggest difference was the level of support from volun-teers. We had a far better turn-out than in past.”

As of this week, the 2014 Poppy Fund campaign had brought in more than $78,000, less than $1,000 shy of last year’s total.

Scott pointed out that the October tragedies in Ottawa and Montreal, where two Cana-dian soldiers were killed in sep-arate incidents two days apart, likely prompted more people to donate to a cause benefitting veterans.

“I always have faith in the community. It’s too bad we have to have a tragedy to remind people of what the poppy means,” he said.

Poppy Fund committee trea-surer Ervin Kobialko said the campaign generally receives donations right up until the end of December, so expectations are that the shortfall compared

to last year will disappear.“The community support

here is tremendous,” he said, listing local cadet groups, busi-nesses, campaign volunteers and donors on the West Shore as the people who have once again made the fundraiser suc-cessful. “They open their arms and their spirit.”

Donations are still being accepted for this year’s cam-paign. To do so, either drop by the Prince Edward Branch #91

of the Royal Canadian Legion at 761 Station Ave. or call the branch at 250-478-1828 to declare your intentions.

Monies donated to the Poppy Fund help provide emer-gency assistance, financial aid and other aid to veterans, their widows/widowers and families, and go toward bursaries and poster/literary awards for chil-dren of veterans on the West [email protected]

Angela Cowan/News Gazette staff

This year’s poppy campaign brought in over $78,000.


Given the city’s push to add recreation options for its residents, he said, “the last thing we want to do is lose a facility.”

The approximately 9,600-square-foot building, which has been managed by the Westin Bear Mountain, was purchased by the city for $2.4-million out of bankruptcy proceedings undertaken against the owner in Calgary. Among the plans is to create new water features for the outdoor pool to make it more family friendly. Planning is already underway to build eight clay tennis courts

on site and mountain biking trails, with a goal of completing them by summer 2015.

“(Among other things) the goal is to have a functioning bike shop up there with access to world-class bikes and the amenities,” said Bear Mountain cycling consultant Rob Fawcett. “We are in the process of building back trails, reconnecting trails on our property so people can come out there and try them out.”

He said old trails on the property are currently being mapped out. The plan is to connect the five kilometres already there to an

additional five km of single-track trails to create a 10 km cycling loop for beginner and intermediate mountain bikers. Additional areas for advanced cyclists are in the planning stages.

“For your average person, riding the trails is a spectacular experience … I am very excited,” Fawcett

said. “Mountain biking trails are an amazing public amenity.”

While it is still early in the process, he said the hope is to attract high-level mountain biking events and athletes to the area, much like Rugby Canada has done with basing the national programs in Langford and the potential relationship with Tennis Canada and the new tennis facilities.

Young said it’s another step in the direction Langford voters asked for when they re-elected the entire slate.

“The timing was right and the price was right,” he said, calling it a good fit for Langford. “To build that today it’s $6 million to $7 million. Langford got lucky on the deal, right place at the right time. Council needed to jump on it before someone else bought it.”

The management of the facility will be put out to tender, Young added. Services include a gym, retail shop, a bike store, tanning beds, fitness studios, an outdoor pool, a hot tub, juice bar, a pub and an outdoor deck – with more to come, he said.

“Everyone is moving as fast they can, there is no transition, no wasted year, I have told council very clearly we are moving to get things done. You will see the new cultural centre, you will see another arena built, some new ball fields, we are focused on doing that.”

More than 100 years after opening,Brown’sThe Florist isn’t resting on itslaurels, the fl oristrecently won Best Flower Shopin Victoria, Best Flower Shop on the Peninsulaand was voted a fi nalist for ‘Best New Business on theWest Shore’ by the West Shore Chamber of Commerce. “I think it’s fantastic to see a locally owned business doing well in all three markets,” says owner Natasha Crawford, a strong supporter of local business. “Honestly, we’re beyond thrilled and humbled that Victoria and Sidney continue to love their Brown’s shops, and just so excited to see the West Shore community embrace us.” Q: Brown’s is more than 100 years old. What is the secret to its success? It’s a number of things. First and foremost, it’s due to the amazing people who work here. I think I can speak for all of us when I say we love our jobs, and we see that refl ected back to us. Most of our team have been here a long time—six of them for over 15 years, two for more than 30, and almost everyone else for over fi ve. Knowing our customers and creating something that helps them convey a feeling is a huge joy for us. Our managers empower the entire team to provide excellent customer service. Staff are encouraged to treat every order as if it were the only one of the day which is great on every level. We are always looking at how we can improve. Part of that was expanding to the West Shore which allows us to have fl owers delivered almost anywhere from Sidney to Sooke before noon. Q: You are very committed to the community. As a small business, how do you make it a priority? For starters, we use our advertising budget! We spend over 50 per cent of our ad dollars in support of community fundraisers and events. I also support organizations with my time, like the BIA in Sidney, the Harbourside Rotary Club and Think Local First Victoria. We choose to support local businesses, such as fl ower growers on the Island, Eurosa Gardens and Mt. Newton Greenhouses. They employ local people —and they work hard to get the freshest fl owers possible. They care where and how the fl owers are grown, which is important to us. We buy over 75 per cent of our fl owers in BC. This is good for the economy and the environment as Canadian regulations mean fewer pesticides. When we can’t support local we buy Fair Trade from around the world. Q: Each of your stores produce just one bag of trash every two weeks. How do you do it? Compost, compost, compost and recycle, recycle recycle! Q: With the holiday season upon us, what is the trend for Christmas decor? For decor, Classic Christmas colours, white, red and green, are always beautiful. This year gold is big and we’re also seeing the natural trend in decor, which reminds me of a rustic lodge at Christmas. Q: Why are fl oral arrangements a great gift for the holidays? An arrangement touches many of the senses. It makes a home look and smell like Christmas— fresh evergreen pine, cinnamon and paper white fl owers. And there is so much thoughtfulness that goes in to a fl oral piece—the work of farmers, pickers, fl orists. In a modern society like ours, it’s nice to fi nd something that was handmade and cared for. Brown’s The Florist wishes you and your family a warm and festive holiday season. Thank you for shopping local, and supporting the local economy.

Call or visit Brown’s the Florist in downtown Victoria, Sidney, or the new West Shore location. Brown’s delivers seven days a week, and you can order anytime on their website brownsfl orist.com.

Major donation catches president by surprise


Royal Roads University has received its biggest financial gift ever.

A $5-million cheque, more than double the next biggest donation to the university in the history of the school, was pre-sented to the university Wednes-day by Sherman Jen, an entre-preneur and founder of educa-tional systems and schools in China.

The major donation took RRU president and vice-chancellor Allan Cahoon somewhat by sur-prise.

“It came out of the blue. In most fundraising you have an agenda, you establish a relation-ship, you do some cultivation and get ready,” he said.

“It is expected at some point. This was none of that. There was no (preparation) other than it felt clearly an indication of someone who wanted to invest in the institution because he

believes in it.”Jen, who holds an honorary

degree from the university, pre-sented the cheque inside a hand-carved maple box at a ceremony at the Centre for Dialogue, Learn-ing and Innovation Centre at the university. He said the gift was all about building global under-standing.

“I believe in the educational model that brings people together, valuing language, cul-ture and traditions. This model helps to develop global citizens and shared understandings that can contribute to conflict reduc-tion this is a belief and educa-tional model that I see in RRU,” Jen said in making the presen-tation. “It is based on these common values in my role as proud RRU alumnus that I am very pleased to announce my gift in the amount of $5 million to establish a centre of global understanding through educa-tion.”

Jen’s 40 schools in China, which all run under the Maple Leaf umbrella, offering the Dog-wood curriculum for approxi-mately 15,000 students. He founded the first offshore school accredited by the B.C. Ministry of Eduction and the first to blend

the Chinese and B.C. high school curriculum and offer dual Chi-nese and B.C. government grad-uation diplomas at his schools. He said 13 more are coming in the next two years.

Cahoon said the hope is to use the new funds as a start for a new building on campus.

“We are delighted and hon-oured to be the recipient of this generous gift to establish a Centre for Global Understand-ing at Royal Roads University, and allow us to use the educa-tion process for bridging under-standing for our students and the ways that they can make a contribution,” he [email protected]

It’s a time fornew beginnings

At municipal halls around the West Shore this week and next, the newest slate of elected local politicians have and are embarking on the next phase of their political life.

The new four-year term scared off some veteran councillors around the Capital Region. But for those undaunted candidates who ran anyway and were successful, this period marks a new beginning, with eyes on both the here and now and the horizon.

The five mayors, three of whom have worn the chains of office for some time and two of whom sat on council for at least a few terms before winning the mayoral race, make public their lists of personal goals and council objectives for the next four years. That sharing provides the first chance for residents and local property owners to begin holding their elected officials’ feet to the fire on policy and council actions.

The council chambers have so far been full for the inaugural council meetings. While many in attendance were family members of councillors, staff, or individuals with some other official or social connection to the politicians, some residents simply came to see what their new council members had to say and get a taste of how the business of their municipality gets done.

Granted, not a lot of complex business is done in those first meetings, but it’s a good dry run for nearly a dozen rookie councillors who, along with the council veterans, will attend hundreds of events in their official capacities over the next four years.

Council meetings are not exactly a spectator sport, but when issues of importance or impact are brought before the group, such as development proposals or decisions that require spending tax money, they tend to attract more of a crowd.

Some residents might like to make a new year’s resolution to become more in tune with what’s going on at the town hall and vow to get more involved in the input process before such decisions are made by mayor and council.

The democratic process is designed and intended to allow participation in local government activities by residents, whether they’re a homeowner, renter or commercial property owner.

In our five West Shore municipalities, there’s plenty of opportunity to get involved, including on the various advisory committees. Why not volunteer to take on such a role? You’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the goings on at council.

To the runner at the top of Jacklin Road on Monday night:

I was traveling south on Jackson Road around 7 p.m., Monday, Dec. 1. There was a line of parked cars on my right, and a vehicle with poorly adjusted headlights approaching on my left.

Suddenly, as the other car passed me, I saw the flash of your face running towards me on the road between my vehicle and the line of parked cars. You were about 10 feet away and your face was the most visible part of you. I am sure that you thought you were visible. You were not. Had the timing of the other vehicle been slightly slower, I do not think I would’ve seen you at all.

I understand you had to run on the road because the sidewalks were slippery. I am absolutely willing to share the roads with you. But you should understand that we were between streetlights and I did not see you until it was too late. I still feel sick about how close I came to clipping you with my mirror.

You can buy retro-reflective iron-on and peel-and-stick tape for your clothing. You can buy

retro-reflective bandoliers with embedded flashing LED lights. You can buy retro-reflective armbands. Even the ubiquitous traffic control vest, supersized for construction workers, can be cut down and tailored with fabric glue so that it will not chafe.

The advent of lightweight, high intensity LED flashlights with easy one-handed on-off switches means you can alert vehicles to your proximity. There are even tiny, high-intensity single LED lights that mount on your finger with an on-off lever that you can control with your thumb.

For the sake of the guilt of the driver that hits you, and the sake of the grief of your relatives and friends in the running community when you are hit, please spend half the price of your next pair of shoes and buy some visibility. Or else go to the gym and use the treadmill when the temperature drops below freezing. We will all be grateful.

P.S. If you are the spouse of this runner, please make this the Christmas when you give the gift of visibility.

Christiaan Van de Water’s original artwork will soon be on display, thanks to the efforts of his children and the Metchosin Community House.

The Holland-born artist (1914-1996) accumulated a vast collection of oil paintings, sculptures, handmade furniture and more over his lifetime of artistry.

Many of those unique pieces will be showcased this weekend in an exhibit playfully called “The Old Man’s Art Show.”

Van de Water’s talents emerged early in life when he illustrated

his primary school textbooks with crayon sketches of fish and wildlife. That passion for creating stayed with him as he grew older, but increasing responsibilities led him to train formally as a woodworker, and eventually become a union carpenter in Victoria.

He brought his family to Metchosin in 1955, seeking a quieter, simpler life of farming and creative pursuits. They stayed four years, making a living from the farm, while Van de Water supplemented his income by playing with Victoria’s top dance band, The Bert Zala Orchestra.

The family was doing well until disaster struck and they lost the

bulk of their sheep to a pack of dogs. In the face of defeat, Van de Water moved his family to a farm in southern Ontario to try his hand at farming there, but a string of harsh luck kept the dream of self-sustainability at bay. He finally abandoned the land for a return to Vancouver Island.

Van de Water began painting in earnest after the move back to the Island and found his voice on canvas. “(As a painter), as well as striving to find your palette, you have to find out how you want to express yourself,” says his son, Chris Van de Water, 67 and a Metchosin resident since 1978.

“(My father) ended up doing landscapes and some portraits,

and it slowly morphed into some of his more philosophical paintings.”

The exhibit will feature between 30 and 40 original pieces by Van de Water, ranging from oil paintings to folk style hand-crafted furniture, showcasing the wide range of mediums he used. Chris says it’s a chance for his family to reconnect and ensure their father’s talent is preserved. “We’re going to get all the pieces together and get a (photo) and make an album for posterity’s sake.”

The event runs Dec. 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Metchosin Community House, 4430 Happy Valley Rd. [email protected]

The Coronel Memorial Library at Royal Roads University, shown here when it opened Nov. 1, 1974, celebrated its 40th anniversary this year.

RRU library more user-friendlySpend some time in the library this season

When we think of libraries, usually books, newspapers attached to sticks and silence come to mind.

But it’s important to remem-ber the value of libraries as a place for connection, not only to information, but to the past, our community and to each other.

I was reminded of this when I read Royal Roads University library’s announcement last week that they had eliminated the charge for community bor-rower cards, making it free for members of the public to access their print collection. According to the university, the move was inspired by a similar decision by the University of Victoria and is part of a local movement to provide increased public access to library resources in Greater Victoria.

“Our print collection could be more used than it is, and open-ing it up to more people could perhaps give it more life,” says Rosie Croft, head librarian at RRU.

Croft tells me that aside from a niche collection of informa-tion on subjects the university instructs in, the library also

boasts a modest col-lection of material from Royal Roads’ days as a military col-lege, often of inter-est to local history buffs. She also recom-mends two recently published books on local issues that new patrons may want to take for a spin: Ferry Tales: Mobility, Place, and Time on Canada’s West Coast, by RRU’s own Prof. Phillip Van-nini; and The Nature of Borders: Salmon, Boundaries, and Bandits on the Salish Sea, by Lissa K. Wadewitz.

For those more interested in activities, programming at West Shore branches of the Greater Victoria Public Library not only includes children’s events (such as the upcoming, already-full Christmas Storytime), but also opportunities for other mem-bers of the community to con-nect and learn.

For instance, the Juan de Fuca branch beside the recreation centre in Colwood plays host to a monthly meeting of West Shore writers. It’s open to writ-ers of any genre or experience level who want to discuss the craft with fellow wordsmiths. Or if music is more your thing, the branch is again hosting

local harpist Philipp Gawthrop on Dec. 14 for a free hour-long holiday concert which has seen a large turnout in years past.

If you’re looking for an opportunity to get social and give back, the library is hosting Holiday Open Houses at all its branches on Saturday, Dec. 13 from 2 to 4 p.m.

“These open houses are a time to celebrate with our patrons. We

invite everybody to come in for festive treats and we’ll have a craft table set up as well,” says Alyssa Polinsky, director of com-munications and community development with the Greater Victoria Public Library.

The open house features a Food for Fines campaign, which makes it possible to eliminate up to $5 in overdue fines in exchange for non-perishable food donations.

Check out gvpl.ca to learn more about these and other events happening on the West Shore.

International students give the gift of songAngela CowanNews Gazette staff

This Sunday (Dec. 7), voices from around the world will join in song to celebrate the holiday season.

Students from Pearson College will gather to perform their annual Christmas concert at the Metchosin Community Hall. Conducted by direc-tor Yoomi Kim, the choir of international students will delight its audience with carols old and new.

This year’s concert will also honour David Haw-ley, college director for nearly nine years, and his

wife, Leisa Weld, before they move to The Hague, Netherlands.

The evening will also include refreshments and a $2 dessert raffle, featuring homemade confec-tions created by Metchosin’s best bakers.

Admission is by donation, with proceeds going to the Metchosin Community Association and the Goldstream Food Bank. There will also be collec-tion boxes for donations of non-perishable items.

The concert begins at 7 p.m., Dec. 7, at 4401 Wil-liam Head Rd. For more information, call 250-478-6424 or email [email protected].

Local music compilation benefitting Mustard Seed Don DescoteauNews Gazette staff

Playing music to benefit charity isn’t completely new for the Deep Sea Gypsies.

The band, whose members all hail from the West Shore, took part in a concert once that had a food drive aspect to it. Accepting an offer to place an original song on a compilation CD in aid of the Mustard Seed Food Bank seemed like a good fit, says guitarist-vocalist Loke Webb.

Deep Sea Gypsies are one of 14 local bands who contributed a song to the recently released

Fourteen for Fourteen: Indie Victoria 2014. The album, the sales of which will go entirely to the food bank, also features the music of Hush Pup, Mindil Beach, Electric Oak and others.

“Anytime you can tie the arts into any kind of positive change, it

helps to progress it and propel it,” Webb says. “I think this is a perfect example of that. It’s really cool and we’re happy to be a part of it.”

The CD serves two purposes, he says. Not only does it provide a fundraising vehicle for a worth-while cause, it gets the music of independent local bands into the public’s ears and eyes.

The project is the brainchild of View Royal-based music blogger Mark Brennan, whose Baffled Octopi Records is releasing the CD. The various local artists he approached with the fundraiser idea gave him nothing but positive responses.

“The minute I asked ‘are you guys in,’ they said ‘absolutely, for sure,’” he says.

The bands have donated their original songs to the project, while Brennan has donated his time to assemble the CD and distribute it to the bands, who will likely be selling the discs at their live shows. “It’s promoting local artists and they need it, but at the end of the day we’re helping the food bank,” Brennan says.

The musical compilation is also being distrib-uted digitally via bandcamp.com, a sales and file-sharing website dedicated to the promotion of

independent musicians and bands. So far, Brennan says, the hard copies are the ticket.

“The CDs have been more popular than the digital downloads. People like to have this physical thing in their hand.”

The cover art features a very Doctor Who-like scene of a police phone box and the iconic Daleks, a throw to one of Bren-nan’s favourite TV shows since he was a child.

The eco-packaged CD can be pur-chased for $8 – or more, given bandcamp.com’s pay-what-you-want format – while the digital version can be downloaded for just $5 (or more). Both options can be ordered online at thepurveyorsoffreewill.bandcamp.com/releases.

Fourteen for food: indie style

“The minute I asked ‘are you guys in,’ they said ‘absolutely, for sure.’”

– Mark Brennan, Baffled Octopi Records

Deep Sea showtimen The band, all of whom grew up or lived on the West Shore, is in the process of finishing off its new home studio in Gordon Head, where they are recording their new EP, Cedar Hill Cross Road. n Hear Deep Sea Gypsies tonight (Dec. 5) at surfboard shop Anian, behind Phillip’s Brewery on Discovery Street. The outdoor party, complete with hot tubs, will cost you $10 for a ticket.

The cover for Fourteen for Fourteen pays homage to the CD’s instigator’s favourite TV show dating back to his childhood days.

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.

Mazda MX-5Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is one car that will signify the culmination of all the things Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata). The MX-5 will come in 2015 as a 2016 model and all eyes are on Mazda to see what it can deliver. The bodywork is more dramatic and having seen it in person, the dimensions look fanatic but the new front grille might take a while to adapt too. The two-seat cockpit is roomier, thanks to a wider body and longer wheelbase but the overall length is 105mm shorter and 20mm lower. The 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power this lightweight car and power will go to the rear wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine output has not been announced, neither has the price, but expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 model on price.

Ford ExplorerThe sixth generation Ford Explorer will arrive in 2015 as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.

This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anni-versary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.

2015 Jeep RenegadeThere is no question that the merger of Fiat and Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat

500 and its variations has been a plus for Chrysler’s bottom line. Built in Europe on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass and Patriot models. Powered by either a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder or a larger 184hp, 2.4L 4-cylinder, Jeep claims that this compact crossover is still a capable vehicle because of two available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems.

The standard models will be available with front-wheel-drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed automatic transmission. Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is mar-ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep styling cues. The interior is has a rugged, yet upscale design that features all of Jeep’s latest technology, including the award winning Uconnect infotainment system. Pricing has not been announced but expect it shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon.

Honda HR-VComing in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip

and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable trans-mission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment.

Chevrolet VoltIt might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transporta-tion for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will intro-duce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.

DrivewayBC.caEye catching hues on shiny new wheelsFive stylish sets of wheels for 2015

By Alexandra Straub

When it comes to picking a shade to best represent your vehicular product, sometimes silver or a black just won’t do.There were some standout hues on vehicles displayed at the recent LA Auto Show, goodness knows which, if any of them, will make it your local showrooms. Here are a few vehicles that not only had flair, but the paintwork to match.

2015 Ford EdgeIf the name “Electric Spice” doesn’t grab your attention, then the actual colour itself will. You could label it as bright gold. But not a gaudy gold. Yes, it’s bright, and probably will repulse some crossover shoppers, but it doesn’t look half bad on the 2015 Ford Edge.

2015 Chevrolet Spark Lime and Electric Blue are just some

colours you will find on Chevrolet’s pint-sized cars. While they might not attract your gaze because of their size, they can certainly catch your eye because of their electrifying tones.

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLAWhile you might not be able to option your new Mercedes-Benz GLA out with this paintwork, it’s pretty darn cool. Mr. Brainwash, an LA-based but world-renowned street artist, part-nered with Mercedes-Benz to create a one-of-a-kind GLA crossover that toured eight cities. Aside from it being awesome, you can see that the paint literally got everywhere. 2015 Dodge Charger and ChallengerDon’t call me baby, even if it might be blue. The head-turning colour I’m referring to is the B5 Bly that was draped over Dodge’s two new models: the Challenger and Charger. You can see it from miles away, and whether you option it out on the sedan or coupe, you’re bound to get some

attention. That’s if your HEMI isn’t doing its job!

2015 Nissan JukeLove it or hate it, the Nissan Juke is here to stay. And rightfully so. If you can get past its quirky looks, it’s quite a fun vehicle to drive. But what would a Juke be without some exterior zest? For 2015, it is redesigned and offers a long list of standard tech features, more connectivity and importantly, a way to stand out in the crowd. With Nissan’s Color Studio, Juke owners can find nearly unlimited color per-sonalization for their new ride.Grey and orange, anyone?

Lexus LF-C2 ConceptI think the metallic sunbeam-like yel-low speaks for itself, don’t you think?

By Rob Rothwell

You can pay a fortune for a premium brand but you needn’t break the bank to buy wheels with style.

Chrysler 200 (starting MSRP $19,945)Chrysler stunned the marketplace with the introduction of its completely new 200 Sedan, resetting benchmarks for style, panache, and performance within a fiercely competitive segment. And with a starting MSRP of just $19,945, the 200 undercuts many of its competitors, yet its real strength is found in its range of trim levels and power options. The base engine is a 2.4L four-cylinder affair that feeds 184 horsepower to the front wheels through a segment-exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission. Going upscale in the 200 brings with it Chrysler’s powerful 295 horsepower Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine paired with the nine-speed autobox and all-wheel-drive traction. Standard features include eight airbags, Keyless Enter ‘n Go, and Chrysler’s Uconnect 3.0 multimedia centre. Options include Blind Spot Monitor-ing, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and Active Park Assist. With four distinct trim levels, the Chrysler 200 can match the wherewithal of many pocket-books while employing the latest in safety and technology to deliver an affordable upscale driving experience.Fuel Economy:2.4L I-4 10.2L/6.4L100km city/highway3.6L V6 12.4L/7.5L100km city/highway

Acura TLX (base MSRP $34,900) The four-door Acura TLX Sedan replaces the former TSX and TL sport sedans, merging their respective strengths into a single product positioned as the brand’s mid-level contender. With a base sticker of $34,900, the TLX delivers plenty of sport-inspired luxury built around a 206 horsepower 2.4L four-cylinder power plant fused to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Propulsion is directed frontward unless the V6 Technolo-gy Package and Acura’s Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system with torque vectoring are opted for. In which case, all four wheels share in 290 horsepower produced by the 3.5L SOHC i-VTEC mill. A sophisticated nine-speed automatic transmission further contributes to the engaging performance of the V6-powered TLX. In addition to a more rigid body structure, the TLX provides increased safety and collision avoidance with the use of technology such as Jewel Eye LED headlights, Lane Departure Warn-ing, Forward Collision Warning, and Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Warning. Comfort and convenience essentials include the availability of premium 10-speaker au-dio along with voice-activated navigation.Fuel Economy: 2.4L I-4 9.6L/6.6L/100km city/highway3.5L V6 11.2L/6.9L/100km city/highway

Audi A3 (base MSRP $31,100) Looking remarkably like the highly success-ful Audi A4 Sedan despite casting a shadow 245mm shorter, the new A3 Sedan is sure to capture the attention of entry-level Audi buyers that scorn the A3’s hatchback design despite the vehicle’s praiseworthy

driving dynamics and general practicality. Pricing for the new A3 Sedan starts at $31,100 with the 170 horsepower 1.8L TFSI I-4 power plant turning the front wheels through the auspices of Audi’s six-speed S tronic automatic gearbox. Upping the ante to $35,900 secures a 220 horsepower 2.0L TFSI I-4 connected to all four corners via Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive technology. Diesel power is also available in the A3 Se-dan, though paired only with front-wheel-drive. Option combinations include Audi’s Styling Package, Navigation Package, and their sport-oriented S line Package. Audi has always been a technology leader, and the A3 Sedan shares in that reputation with a vast array of onboard safety and protection systems.Fuel Economy: TBD

Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan - C400 Sedan (base MSRP C 300 $43,000 - C400 $51,400)Despite slotting beneath the venerable E-Class in the Mercedes-Benz hierarchy of sedans, the new C-Class Sedan takes on a notably formal appearance and a more upscale demeanor for 2015. It’s also lighter and more powerful thanks to the extensive use of aluminum and a pair of revised engines. The C 300 receives a turbocharged 2.0L I-4 power plant capable of 241 horsepower. Need more oomph? A 3.0L twin-turbo V6 places 329 horsepower under the hood of the C 400. Both engines feed all four wheels through Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive technology. The sole use of 4MATIC is a Canadian-market exclusive. Along with new sheet metal and a lavishly-appointed cabin, the C-Class is equipped with the latest generation of COMMAND by Mercedes-Benz. This highly sophisticated infotainment/navigation system is lifted directly from the S-Class flagship. Audiophiles will appreciate the availability of Burmester surround-sound audio components, which are hand-made in Germany. Fuel Economy: C 300 10.9L/7.5L/100km city/highway C 400 11.1L/8.4L/100km city/highway

BMW 228i – M235i (base MSRP 228i $36,000 - M235i $48,750)Reminiscent of the legendary 1968 BMW 2002 Coupe, today’s 228i and M235i Coupes combine the outstanding driving dynamics of the stubby BMW 1-Series Coupe, which they replace, with a sleeker, more aggressive interpretation of the iconic brand’s ethos. The 228i is the tamer of the pair, but with 241 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, its 2.0L twin-turbocharged I-4 engine delivers highly spirited performance nonetheless. If outright exhilaration is the target, the M235i is the ticket. Its twin-tur-bocharged 3.0L I-6 mill produces 322 horse-power and 332 lb.-ft. of endless torque. For true driver-oriented motoring, both vehicles can be fitted with a 6-speed manual gear-box in place of the new 8-speed automatic transmission. BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive traction is also available, but can only be paired with the automatic transmission. With the availability of a manual gearbox backed by a choice of turbocharged power plants, the new BMW 2-Series may just be the “ultimate driving machine.”Fuel Economy:228i 9.1L/5.6L/100km city/highwayM235i 11.2L/7.1L/100km city/highway

West Shore families to benefit from Early Years fundingArnold LimNews Gazette staff

The Sooke Family Resource Society is excited about the future, as it looks to expand its programs for families with young children.

Thanks to a commitment by the Ministry of Children and Family Development to fund the society and its various operations as a B.C. Early Years Centre – one of 12 such communities in the province – for another year, the organization can continue to expand.

“We were very excited because it gives an opportunity to enhance the services we already provide to communities,” said Daphne Raymond, the society’s manager of children and family services. “The whole goal really (is) to expand access for families – to know where the resources are for community for families with young children and find ways to access that information in an easy manner.”

The society’s satellite location at the Westshore Child Youth and Family Centre on Wale Road in Colwood offers programming for families with children up to the age of six. Programs include counselling services, Kingfisher Preschool, Pacheedaht Nation Family Group, parent

drop-in programs, pre-natal programs and intervention. The main site is in Sooke.

“We were excited to be part of this first group of test sites,” Raymond said.

“(This) funding also allows us to work more collaboratively with other community services and partners to best share their information with the parents. The best part for the community is we are seeing the B.C. Early Years start being implemented, and seeing results of that as actual services for communities.”

The initial funding is for a one-year contract ending March of 2015.

However, Raymond said, the society went through a thorough request for proposal application, and

is hoping that the provincial funding continues for programming she said makes a difference on the West Shore.

“We do have people say to us our resource groups are a lifeline for them, a really supportive place to go and meet other parents who understand the complexity they have with their parenting,” she said. “I think people really see it as their way to have a place they feel connected with, (during) any challenges with parenting.”

Two other Vancouver Island societies, the Comox Valley Child Development Society and the Beacon Community Association on the Saanich Peninsula, join

the SFRS among the successful applicants receiving $52,000 earmarked for families with children up to age six.

“(We are) dedicated to caring for families and individuals of all ages in Greater Southern Island by providing services in parenting support child, youth, and family development,” Raymond said. “Parents often come first for their child, and the child loves it. But then the parents realize they really benefit from it as well.”

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

T he Island Equipment Owners Associations’ 16th annual Truck Light Convoy and Food Drive, is on Saturday, Dec. 6th, 2014.

Every year the Island Equipment Owners Association gets together, decorating their commercial trucks in the Christmas Spirit with thousands of lights, and then travel as a convoy through the streets of the Capital Region. In past years there have been up to 80 trucks participating. This event supports the Mustard Seed Food Bank, Westshore Christmas Hamper Fund Society and the Sidney Lions Food Bank. As there is not an opportunity to stop and collect food items along the route, multiple donation drop-off sites will be set up along the entire route.As a participant in the Truck Light Convoy it is overwhelming to see, that regardless of the weather, thousands of people line the streets with anticipation of the big trucks all decorated in Christmas Lights. Children from 2-92 cannot help but feel the Christmas Spirit as the convoy rolls by. People on the streets

and in the apartments above, are all cheering and

applauding the colorfully displayed big trucks. Not only is there excitement for the children, but I think there are just as many adults pumping their arms for the big horns to blow. As loud as they are it is part of the excitement of the Truck Light Convoy.At 5:45 the trucks leave Ogden Point, arrive in Oak Bay Village at 6:30, at 7:00 they arrive at Yates and Blanshard, 7:30 they will arrive at Helmcken and Trans Canada overpass, at 8:00 they will arrive atGoldstream and Veterans Memorial Parkway and at 8:30 they arrive at Western Speedway. Santa will arrive at Western Speedway by truck! We always caution the public that timing is approximate as the logistics of organizing this event is dependent on a number of factors. Everyone is invited to gather at Western Speedway for the conclusion of this fun event. Admission to the Western Speedway is by cash donation, or a non-perishable food item. Coffee, hot dogs and hot chocolate are available for the public, by donation.

This is a must see event for the whole family, especially children! We sincerely appreciate your continued support. See you there! Alan BarrPresident,Island Equipment Owners Association

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday season.

RECIPE OF THE WEEKAbout a year ago I came across a recipe for breakfast cupcakes; they were perfectly bite-sized and packed full of protein and quite a bit of fat. I modifi ed the recipe to include as many vegetables as possible and cut down on the fat content. They have become a break-fast staple in my house. I keep them in the freezer and zap them in the microwave. The perfect way to add protein and veggies into mornings that are short on time.

The following is the original recipe I came up with but there are probably thousands of different ways to modify this recipe to suit your family’s likes. You can try different combinations of vegetables and different fl avours of cream cheese. I serve them with a piece of fruit for a balanced breakfast on the run!

Breakfast BitesIngredients:8 eggs 2 colored peppers1 small onion 1/2 C shredded zucchini1 C spinach 125 g of low fat cream cheese1 C shredded potatoes (I use the frozen ones)Pepper to taste

DirectionsChop vegetables as fi nely as possible into a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and combine until smooth. Add the cream cheese (this works best if you let the cream cheese soften on the counter for about an hour). Let the mixture sit.

I use silicone muffi n cups, so I can pop the breakfast bites out without adding butter or cooking spray, and arrange them on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle the shredded potatoes into the bottom of each cup, ensuring they cover the bottom but are not too thick. Stir the egg mixture again before fi lling the muffi n cups. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the edges start to brown and the mixture has set. Enjoy!

Musicians Mira Engelbrcht (16), left, Logan Cooper (14), and Ai Horton (17) will be performing at Belmont’s Winter Concert Dec. 11 at the Spotwood Gymnasium at Belmont secondary school.

Winter concert a finale of sortsBelmont secondary musicians invite community in for Christmas cheerArnold LimNews Gazette staff

The feeling is bittersweet. Days away from the Belmont

secondary Winter Concert, school music director Mandart Chan is looking forward to see and hear more than 120 student-musicians perform in front of friends and family on Dec. 11. He gets emotional, however, that the community concert series that started in the early 1950s will see its last show ever at the current school.

“(Being the) last winter con-cert in the original Belmont building, that, for us, is a big thing,” Chan said. “Even though we are planning it as if it is just our usual concerts. This is the last time we’re setting up the decorations, with the lights and

sound systems and everything else. This is the last time we get to do it (here).”

Seven performance ensem-bles and four student bands have been practicing diligently for the last concert of 2014, during which an estimated 400-plus spectators will pack the Spotswood Gym. Coming to school early, during lunch, and after school to make the expe-rience a rewarding one for all involved, Chan said their effort has been commendable.

“(The best part of this), the parents see the aftermath of what they are doing, see the result of all their hard work,” he said. “Knowing (parents) see the value in music education, not only at Belmont but in our com-munity, is really important.”

Grade 12 saxophonist Ai Horton, playing her final Win-ter Concert ever as a member of the 2015 graduation class, started playing music in Grade 2 and hopes the public enjoys the hard work she and her peers have put in.

“For people in the community, it’s so cool to see what students that are living in their commu-nities are doing and what they have been working towards,” she said.

The 17-year-old said music has played an important role in her life, helping her break out from being shy and introducing her to great friends, great music and great memories. She hopes to offer some of those gifts to others.

“A lot of the time, because we are high school, (the public) don’t expect a lot from (us), but that is the biggest myth,” Chan said.

“If the walls (at the gym) could talk, they would remember every concert we did in here. I hope people remember all the determination and hard work we put towards this.”

The Belmont Winter Concert happens next Thursday at 7 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food [email protected]

The best of Belmont sportsto be celebrated in new schoolStudents and staff busy working on sports Hall of Fame projectArnold LimNews Gazette staff

As Belmont secondary’s doors prepare to close, the school’s sports hall of fame is preparing to open.

Some of the sports memorabilia, trophies and photographs adorning the walls of the current high school may soon be gone. But with the help of current and past staff and students, more than 60 years of sports history and excellence will be celebrated in the new Belmont Sports Hall of Fame.

“It is something some of the older coaches (and I) had talked about over the years, to research the history of the Belmont athletic program and get it recorded,” said social studies teacher Cindy Cullen. “With it being the last year of Belmont (on

Jacklin Road), it made sense, because a lot of fasci-nating history could be lost in the move if we don’t preserve it.”

Teachers and coaches brainstormed Belmont Sports Hall of Fame criteria, with nine students researching yearbooks dating back to 1950, and talking to teachers, coaches and Belmont alumni before eight to 10 recipients per decade were cho-sen. The hope is to incorporate the inductions into a good-bye ceremony for the current school some-time in spring of 2015.

“I have grown up most of my life liking the idea of preserving tradition,” Cullen said. “(It’s about) honouring the people who helped create the ath-letic program we have today.”

Students also helped contact a growing list of recipients that include such impressive figures as National Hockey League players Tyson Barrie and Adam Cracknell, pro cyclist Ryder Hesjedal, soccer player Josh Simpson and curler Dailene Sivertson. Many other strong local and national-level athletes dot an impressive list that volunteer Miranda Llewellyn said sets an example for future students.

“I hope in the future I do something sports related,” the 17-year-old basketball player said. “It’s good to look back to the past and see where these previous athletes have gone and what paths they’ve taken and where sports have sent them today.”

The Grade 12 student said the project is a lot of work, “but it’s worth it.” Volunteering has opened her eyes to what she described as Belmont’s “’rich sporting history,” which has motivated her to work harder both on and off the court.

“It’s not necessarily just about the athletics – all these athletes are fantastic at sports – but the ath-letic drive that pushed them to be a better person. Their academics were high, they were active in the community and multiple clubs as well as being top athletes,” Llewellyn said. “It is something I aspire to someday.”

A local fish market will be selling thou-sands of pounds of fresh herring Dec. 6 to raise money for Fisher-men Helping Kids with Cancer.

Finest At Sea will have 20,000 lbs. of her-ring for sale for the third year in a row, in support of B.C. Chil-dren’s Hospital.

The first year the James Bay business brought in 10,000 lbs. of herring, and sold out in the first five hours of being open. The next year, it doubled the supply and raised around $15,000.

The fish is sold in 20 lbs. bags for $20 and 10 lbs. bags for $15. Cus-tomers are asked to bring their own buck-ets to take the fish home in.

This year, they hope to attract even more people and raise even more money.

“We want to raise as much money as pos-sible,” said Paul Chad-

dock, Finest at Sea vice-president. “That’s why we’re doing it; and to bring awareness to that specific organization.”

If they would like, customers can have their fish frozen, vac-uum-packed or smoked for an extra charge. All of those proceeds also get donated.

Last year, Chaddock said people started lining up at 5:30 a.m. to buy herring, even though they didn’t open until 7 a.m.

“It’s a fish that peo-ple can’t regularly get,”

said Robert Fraumeni, owner of Finest at Sea.

Along with the fresh herring, Finest at Sea will also be selling cooked herring from its food truck outside all day. Those proceeds will also go to the char-ity.

The fundraiser started in Richmond in 2011 with the inspi-ration of a 17-year-old girl’s battle with can-cer.

“[Cancer is] just something that will, if not already, touch all of us throughout

our lives, whether it’s a child or a grandpar-ent,” said Chaddock. “We’ve got such an amazing hospital sys-tem here in B.C., it’s something worth fight-ing for.”

The herring sale runs from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., or until sell out.

Finest at Sea Ocean Products is located at 27 Erie St.

Green business cluster emerges on Jacklin Road

A new green business block has emerged on Jacklin Road between Goldstream Avenue and Kelly Road in Langford.

If you drive by, you might not think anything special of the three businesses situated in the Utopia building. The previous owners (developers) of Utopia at 2871 Jacklin Rd. had struggled to find buyers interested in the commercial spaces at street level, and the building’s com-mercial storefronts sat empty for close to two years.

However, local entrepreneur Kristy Martin saw potential in the high-traffic location and decided to take the risk and buy her own commercial space for her company Farley Martin Notaries.

Martin made the purchase so she could make investments into the space that will ensure the business is sustainable in the years to come.

A year and a half later, two other West Shore entrepreneurs decided to follow suit and also purchased commercial space in the building.

Today, you’ll find Farley Mar-tin Notaries, Prosperity Planning and Growlies for Pets all occu-pying the commercial spaces in Utopia, giving new life to the building and area. What’s unique about these three is that they all purchased their commercial spaces and they all decided to go green, not only in their con-struction but in their day-to-day

operations.All three businesses have

been certified by the Vancouver Island Green Businesses Certifi-cation Program.

Martin experienced first-hand how ben-eficial simple changes can be for both their environmental impact and their impact on the financial bottom line.

“As a small busi-ness you really have to think outside of the box to reduce costs,” she said. “The chal-lenge is that there’s so much information out there it’s hard to know where to begin. I started by choosing not to print every document faxed to us, which saves about $1,000 worth of supplies every year.”

At Growlies for Pets, Neal Cropper and his wife Jo-Anne invested heavily in new energy efficient fridges, LED lighting and a state of the art H-Vac system. These major capital expenses will have a relatively quick pay-back time and also add value to their property.

These investments into their business, along with other oper-ational changes, will ensure that Growlies is operating in an effi-cient manner in the years to come. Growlies for Pets requires a large amount of power to keep its fridges and freezers cold, so investing in efficient fridges and proper insulation will save thousands, once their return on investment is recouped in a few years’ time.

Dale Collins, founder of Pros-perity Planning, is the latest

business owner to open in Uto-pia and become green certified. For Collins, the construction of her new space got her think-

ing about going green. Prosperity Planning might seem like any other financial plan-ning office, but when you take a closer look around you’ll notice a number of actions she’s taken to improve her office’s sustainabil-ity performance.

Collins’ new fur-niture comes from recycled materials; her lighting senses

when someone enters or leaves meeting rooms; her water heat-ers operate on demand and her company is leading the charge in an effort to go paperless in the years to come. All of these actions will save Prosperity Planning thousands on energy costs, office materials and main-tenance costs moving forward.

All three businesses will have considerably lower operat-ing costs in the years to come, thanks to the investments they have made to make their oper-ations more sustainable. For many, it’s difficult to invest up front to reap returns down the road. However, for those that have the foresight to make their businesses more environmen-tally sustainable, there are finan-cial rewards that will follow in the future. If you want to learn how to green your office or busi-ness visit vigbc.ca

Craig Sorochan is the program manager of the Vancouver Island Green Business Certification Pro-gram.

Andrea PeacockBlack Press

For many parents whose children have grown up and moved out, they are left with a big house to them-selves and are looking for a change.

Making the decision to downsize and leave the family home can be daunting for some, but local experts say it does not have to be with the right help and information.

“It’s just such a daunting process,” said Joanne Brodersen, realtor with DFH Real Estate. “[But] it’s not as scary as it seems. With the right people helping you, that transition can be made much more smoothly than it appears at first.”

Besides the physical aspect of moving, Brodersen said the emo-tional aspect is often a factor as well, in terms of memories associated with the home. She advises going through items in the home and deciding what can be given away and what should stay when looking to move to a smaller place.

“There’s so many people that can use those things that are sit-ting in your house that have been collecting dust for the last 20 years because no one’s used them.”

While retirees and downsizers have slotted themselves in to vari-ous parts of the West Shore, Broder-sen says the phenomenon reaches across the Capital Region.

“I think what it is, is that there are so many baby boomers (reaching that stage),” she said.

Bill Ethier, managing broker presi-dent of Royal Lepage Coast Capital Realty, said one of the main chal-

lenges for many people who are downsizing is being used to the amount of space they had before.

He said most people who down-size are going from a single-family home to a condo.

“It’s easier to go up in space because you acquire more stuff as you move up, but going down it’s making the decision of what to elimi-nate from your life.”

Another challenge for some peo-ple is having unrealistic expecta-tions of how much space they can

get within their budget, said Ethier. He said people often wonder how they are going to live in a much smaller home.

“Get out there and look at proper-ties and do comparisons and get an idea of what a square footage is,” said Ethier. He added buyers should measure the rooms in their own homes in order to be able to com-pare it to homes they are looking to move into.

Brodersen has led downsizing seminars the past couple of months

for people looking for more informa-tion and advice. The events include multiple speakers, including herself, a mortgage specialist and a financial planner.

“We find so many people are thirsty for this information,” Brod-ersen said.

“If you know how it’s going to go, it’s not quite so frightening.”

November real estate sales have proven brisk.

The Victoria Real Estate Board announced 465 prop-erty sales in the Victoria region this November, sur-passing 2013 sales of 412 by 12.9 per cent.

“This year has been great for Victoria real estate, we’ve seen a friendly market for buyers and sellers thanks to steady pricing and low mort-gage rates,” said Victoria Real Estate Board President Tim Ayres. “By early last month, sales in the Victoria area met the number of total sales we saw for the entire year of 2013, and now we are 5.18 per cent over last year’s sales with another month to go.”

The Multiple Listing Ser-vice Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core was up to $489,000 from $482,300 last year, for an increase of 1.4 per cent.

“Another statistic to watch is the number of active and new listings,” Ayres contin-ued. “682 properties were listed this November, and the total number of proper-ties listed for sale includ-ing those newly listed was 3,631. That’s 9.6 per cent fewer properties for sale than November last year.”

For many parents whose children have grown up and moved out, they are left with a big house to them-selves and are looking for a change.

Making the decision to downsize and leave the family home can be daunting for some, but local experts say it does not have to be with the right help and information.

“It’s just such a daunting process,” said Joanne Brodersen, realtor with DFH Real Estate. “[But] it’s not as scary as it seems. With the right people helping you, that transition can be made much more smoothly than it appears at first.”

Besides the physical aspect of moving, Brodersen said the emo-tional aspect is often a factor as well, in terms of memories associated with the home. She advises going through items in the home and deciding what can be given away and what should stay when looking to move to a smaller place.

“There’s so many people that can use those things that are sit-ting in your house that have been collecting dust for the last 20 years because no one’s used them.”

While retirees and downsizers have slotted themselves in to vari-ous parts of the West Shore, Broder-sen says the phenomenon reaches across the Capital Region.

“I think what it is, is that there are so many baby boomers (reaching that stage),” she said.
