Gregg saw museum, centennial ignored

Unsuccessful Sidney mayoral
candidate Arthur Gregg is pleased
with the result of the election,
although he wasn’t elected.

“I think we accomplished a
great deal although I don’t know if
my candidacy made any differ-
ence,” Gregg said. “We got Nor-
ma Sealey out of office. Now I
hope the lady that rushed in will
have the time to do the job.”

Gregg received 356 votes in
Saturday’s municipal election.

Rather than fade into obscurity,
Gregg plans to stay involved with

the community and has a couple of
projects he plans to focus attention
on. :

“J plan to keep a very keen
interest on the watertront develop-
ment,” Gregg said. “We're not out
of the woods on that one yet.”

Gregg said he is disappointed
that other candidates, the Saanich
Peninsula Chamber of Commerce
and the Sidney Association of
Merchants haven’t talked about
“how to resolve the situation of
the whale museum which is crying
out for attention.”

Gregg also saw a lackadaisical
attitude by candidates during the
election toward the celebration of
Sidney’s centennial next year.

“This 1s a great community and
a community to be proud of but
sitting back and doing nothing
won't accomplish a thing,” Gregg
said.

Gregg wished all the best to the
new council and said he plans to
continue to promote ideas related
to Sidney’s centennial.

“Never say die till you’re dead,
and I ain’t dead yet,” Gregg said.

he Saanich Peninsula Hospital
Foundation is a charitable or-
Ganization dedicated to pre-
serving the quality of health care pro-
vided by the Saanich Peninsula
Hospital. The role of the Foundation
is to foster community awareness
and financial support of the hospital.
The growth and expansion of the
population of the Peninsula and Gulf
Islands is reflected in the growing
numbers who regularly use the range
of services available at Saanich Pen-
insula Hospitat. In 1989/90, for exam-
ple, there were:

Newborns 145

Emergency Visits 19,309
Surgical Day Care 459
Nutrition Counselling . 488
O.R. Surgical Procedures 1,523
Laboratory Tests 363,559
Radiology Exams 15,850
Ultrasound Exams 2,016
Physiotherapy 14,773

Below: the new five-bed Ambulatory Care
Unit completed in March, 1990 continues
to handle a variety of Day Surgery and
other diagnostic procedures.

Perhaps you could also consider
the fact that funding for medical
equipment from government falls
short of what is actually needed to £
maintain the quality you’ enjoy at
Saanich Peninsula Hospital, and §
that’s where your financial support |
makes a real difference.

Our most current example is the f
urgent need to replace outdated |
Radiology (x-ray) equipment. Whil@
government funding provides
$300,000, or 75% of its $400,000
price tag, the $100,000 balance must
be raised from individuals and
business support within our
community. And that’s just the tip of
the iceberg. Dozens of items in over
ten hospital departments have been
identified as items which would
enhance the delivery and health care
to you and members of your family.

Modern Radiology technology will replace
and upgrade existing equipment.
