The Saanich Indian School
Board will control funds for edu-
cating native children by next
September, replacing the present
distribution of funds by the provin-
cial government.

At the Jan. 13 school board
meeting, District 63 trustees Peter
Garnham and David Christian
reported on a Jan. 9 meeting
between the school district and the
Saanich Indian school board to
establish a framework for handling
the change in financing.

At present, the federal govern-
ment allocates funds for native
education to the provincial govern-
ment, which distributes the money
to local school boards, Christian
explained.

Before next September, he pre-
dicted the funds will be transferred
directly from the federal govern-
ment to the native school board.

students attending public schools
will be allocated to District 63 by
the Saanich Indian School Board,
based on the number of native
students enrolled in public school
as of Sept. 30.

Company fined
for fax evasion

Waters Edge Village Real
Estates Ltd., developer of a town-
house complex in Saanichton, was
fined $20,756.22 in Victoria pro-
vincial court Thursday for tax
evasion.

Crown counsel Kenn Kardish
said the evasion involved work
done on five privately-owned
homes but charged to the develop-

The company then paid a cor-
porate rate on the tax involved.

All of the homes were in the
greater Victoria area but not in
Waters Edge developments. -

Sandspit Holdings Ltd., which
owns half of Waters Edge, was
fined $8,044.33 for tax evasion.

in the middle with the money,”
Christian said.
Special programs for native stu-

dents will still be funded by the ~

provincial government, Christian
added.

Trustees also agreed there
should be no charge for use of the
district’s media centre by
Lau,welnew Tribal School for the
remainder of the school year.

To date, the media centre has
provided materials to the tribal
school without charge. However
use by the tribal school has
increased from 46 requests in 1987
to. an estimated 75 requests over
the 1991-92 school year.

Trustee Derek Chow said the
district should maintain a “good
neighbor policy” but also had to
consider the costs involved.

Christian said use of the céntre

‘could be included in the local
-education agreement to be drafted

by Baker and Stefaniak.
