Manager Gerry Hansen said the $1.5 million project will be located on just under 40 acres near the KOA Campground. He anticipates having areas for both families and adults-only in the park. The park will be served by municipal water and sewer, obtained through the Tsawout band. Hansen anticipates selling homes for the site starting in January or February with the first homes moved on the site starting May 1. Full development of the prop- erty will take three years, he said. A similar mobile home develop- ment by Swiftsure Developments is also near the Start-up stage, Tsawout band manager Eric Pelkey said Monday. A spokesman for Swiftsure was unavailable for comment, Monday. Wrong driver identified in front photo Information provided by police that appeared under a front-page photograph in last week’s Review was completely inaccurate. Not only did the information give the name of a person who was not charged, it also gave an inaccurate account of what hap- pened in a three-vehicle acci- dent at the Pat Bay Highway and Amity Drive, about 4:30 p.m. Oct. 5. In fact, a 1979 Volkswagen being driven northbound by a 23-year-old Sidney woman turned left to go westbound on Amity when it struck a south- bound 1983 Subaru driven by an Old West Saanich Road resident. The force of the impact drove the two vehicles across the highway and into a 1981 Buick that was stopped at a stop sign, eastbound on Amity Drive, Sidney RCMP Sgt. Andy Rose- quist said. The driver of the Volkswa- gen, Anna Marie Olson, 23 of Oakville Avenue in Sidney, was charged with failing to yield the right of way. She received minor whiplash injuries and was taken to hospital, as was the driver of the Subaru. Estimated damage was $4,000 to the Volkswagen, $3,000 to the Subaru and $1,000 to the Buick. The driver of the 1981 Buick, Anne Clark, 36 of Ardwell Drive in Sidney, was not charged or injured and was in no way responsible for the mis- hap. The Review apologizes to Clark and her family and regrets the error. The Tsawout Indian Band just received federal government assis- tance to build nine new homes on the East Saanich Indian Reserve. The new homes are part of a three-year project that will see 35 new homes built by band members for band members, band manager Eric Pelkey said. “We're trying to meet the demand of people returning to the reserve,” Pelkey said. He said the band’s population has increased by about 70 per cent in about the last four years. Total population is now at about 600 people, with about 520 band mem- bers plus natives from other reserves. The latest nine-home project is being built in several parts of the band lands. Construction has just begun and is expected to be com- pleted by late January, Pelkey said. The capital cost of the project is $762,226. A portion of the total cost — $609,226 — will be met with a 15-year mortgage from a private lender, insured by the Can- ada Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration and the federal housing agency under provisions in the National Housing Act, federal Minister of State Alan Redway said. Indian and Northern Affairs Canada provided a capital contri- bution of $36,000 and the Tsawout band provided the balance of capi- tal costs through land and cash equity, Redway said. Federal assistance will be pro- vided by a maximum annual sub- sidy of about $69,169, designed to reduce the mortgage interest rate to as low as two per cent for a maximum of 15 years. The project consists of two two- bedroom homes, six three- bedroom homes and one four- bedroom home.

Lawson said the Central Saanich police department hasn’t taken an official position but he sees the report as being primarily benefi- cial to the City of Victoria’s police department. “All of us have a parochial interest in this and they want the resources downtown,” Lawson said. “Someone has to take a long hard look at the up-side and the down-side to this.” The report — Policing British Columbia in the Year 2001 — says “there may never be a better time” for the province’s Police Services Branch to merge Greater Victor- ia’s five municipal departments — Central Saanich, Saanich, Oak Bay, Victoria and Esquimalt. The report suggests a regional police force could be established because the five municipalities have contiguous borders, the limits § of co-operation seem to be reackga § between departments, computer and communications systems are & not coordinated and a regional ff plan prepared by area police chiefs is available for implementation. people providing a regional solu- tion to policing problems in the City of Victoria, it’s time for the city to look at how policing ise provided now in Victoria 4¥d how pe to improve that with existing@ resources rather than try spiriting#e those away from other districts,” je Cullis said. “How resources are being allocated is germane to whole discussion.” Lawson said a look at the vari ous statistics for Greater Victoria regional police departments tells the story. Of the Gras Victoria depart: ments, the City of Victoria has the lowest population per police offi- cer (one officer for 433 people compared to one officer for 741 Central Saanich residents).
