Parkland students working Lions Hall gets new lease on life

for a cleaner

If it was for the right cause,
could you and six friends lift 6,500
pounds of paper?

Seven Parkland students obvi-
ously figured that saving Mother
Earth was a good enough reason,
so they decided to recycle their
phone books ... as well as those of
2,000 friends.

By setting up drop-off stations
at Deep Cove Elementary School
and the Panorama Leisure Centre,
the Parkland Environment Club
managed to encourage Sidney citi-
zens to do their part.

This feat sounds very impres-
Sive, however it can’t be taken out
of context.

In addition to this effort, the

_ club continues an on-going pro-

Porm in which they take responsi-

bility for all of the recycling at the
school.

Averaging 12 garbage bins of
bottles and cans, and 16 bags of
paper per month, the club works
diligently week to week — not
only to return what they can, but
also to teach by example.

Club president, Jarrod Teague,
explains the initiative behind the
enthusiastic, dedicated members:
“Qur goal is to educate and pro-
mote an awareness and acceptance
of recycling as a part of daily
living.”

And to prove further that they’re
a team of action, their environ-
mental escapades will stretch
through the spring.

A son’s application to subdivide
his mother’s property in order to
build a house nearby was rejected
by Central Saanich council Feb. 3,
confirming a Jan. 27 planning and
zoning committee recommenda-
tion.

Lorenzo Fantillo of Esquimalt
asked council to approve construc-
tion of an additional home on his
mother’s property at 1642-Keating
Crossroad.

“My family and I will be resid-

@ing in this dwelling in order to
help my widowed mother whose
health is poor,” Fantillo wrote.

On behalf of Angela Fantillo, he
asked Central Saanich to approve a
two-lot subdivision of the prop-
erty, with both lots serviced by
septic fields.

Municipal engineer Al Mackey
said the area does not have sewer
service. In order to avoid the
problems created by septic fields
on small lots, Central Saanich now
has a freeze on the development of -
lots smaller than five acres, Mac-"
key said.

He noted the area plan is not

finalized.

as providing all 800 students with
a tree to plant, a school sector to
clean, and a general quiz on the
environment to raise awareness.

What it boils down to is that
although small in number, the
members of this dynamic group
have a firm grip on what they
believe to be important — and
aren't afraid to do something
about it.

A new lease has been signed,
ensuring that the Central Saanich
Lions Club hall at 6994-East Saa-
nich Rd. will remain “The Lions
Hall” for years to come, Lions
Club spokesman Ed Gait said last
week.

Prior to 1974, the Lions Hall
had three owners: the Temperance
Society, the Women’s Institute,
and the Saanich Chamber of Com-
merce.

The Lions’ first encounter with

the building was in 1974, when the
hall was considered as a Lions
meeting place. The building had
been condemned and was sched-
uled for demolition.

The Lions Club pursued the
matter with extensive time and
effort. By late 1975 the club had
obtained title for the municipality,
a lease for the Lions, and permis-
sion to restore the building, Gait
said.

The Lions Club thus completed

the largest project in the Club’s
history, resulting in a facility of
which the whole community could -
be proud.

The Lions Hall is primarily used
by community groups at no
charge, and also serves for Lions
Club meetings and the occasional
social function.

“We are very proud to continue
tO serve Our COMmunity in a
custodial capacity over this unique
facility,” Gait said.
