Five families need help with hall

- by Glenn Werkman
The Review

Pamphlets and information
about the Deep Cove Community
Hall are being circulated in North
Saanich in an effort to gain sup-
port to save the historic structure.

Last week, council in North
Saanich ratified a directive to the
Deep Cove Community Hall
Association to relocate the hall
within a 12-month time period.

Currently, the association is
made up five families who believe
moving and restoring the hall is a
worthwhile project.

“Tf you think this is a vision
worth pursuing and that the hall
restoration should go ahead,
please give one of the association
members a call and express your
support,” said association spoke-
sperson Pauline Holdstock.

The association needs to know
if residents want this hall restored
and functioning again, she said.

A high turn-out at a public
hearing in Sidney Feb. 5 for the
Healthy Atmosphere 2000 project
was a surprise to CRD orgnaizers,
given a simultaneous Town Hall
meeting was held by the Town of
Sidney.

A standing-room-only crowd of
50 people contributed ideas on
how to create a more sustainable
community by reducing fossil fuel
consumption and air pollution,
said Capital Regional District
coordinator Linda Porcher.

Fossil fuel burming is the main
culprit adding “greenhouse
gasses” such as carbon dioxide to
the atmosphere, possible leading
to climate change. Carbon dioxide
is an important greenhouse gas,
which has increased by 25 per cent
since 1860, mainly from the burn-
ing of fossil fuels. It is suspected
that this might lead to a warming
of the planet.

The hall now sits on property
immediately south of the Wain
Road firehall on West Saanich
Road. Association members
recently put tarps over parts of the
roof to protect the structure from
winter rains.

“The motion to let us find
another site is meaningless unless
a bigger group (gets behind the
project) or we get council’s (finan-
cial) support,” Holdstock said.

A notice about the project also
went out in the Deep Cove Ele-
mentary School newsletter, she
said.

People in the community who
would like more information or

want to get involved can call
Holdstock at 656-2430, Peter
Brand at 656-0654, Peter Mason at
656-6428, Ron Perkin at 656-6288
or Michael Walden at 656-0004.

Holdstock said that funds for a
restoration project “could be met
in part by Heritage B.C, and Go
B.C. grants, and in part by dona-
tions of labor time and materials
from the community.”

With a suggested estimate of
$500,000 for construction of a
brand new hall, Holdstock believes
that, with an investment of
$200,000, the community would
be endowed with a much-needed
hall and an important Jandmark in
the history and development of the
community would be preserved.

“One only has to take a brief
look around North Saanich to see
that there are not too many public
buildings of such age (built in
1922) still standing,” Holdstock
said. “Are there any? Where is our
heritage?”

creates green vision

Peninsula speakers gave presen-
tations on the need to create a level
playing field for solar energy by
removing subsidies for fossil fuels,
the importance of phasing out
older wood stoves in favor on new
EPA-approved wood stoves, the
need to continue the moratorium
on highway expansion until the
two-year CRD Transportation
Strategy is developed, the need to
focus on and give higher priority
to public transit instead of automo-
biles, potential for revised land use
planning to encourage cycling, the
need to protect agricultural land, a
call for a daily air quality index for
public information, energy pricing,
and other topics, Porcher said.

The CRD Task Group on
Atmospheric Change will accept
suggestions in the areas of trans-
portation, land use planning,
energy and building regulation,

A discussion paper is available
at all public libraries, municipal

council offices and the CRD to
provide background on the Issues,
Porcher said. A 10-minute video is
also available.
