Family dog rescued from blazeFire destroys home in small Pauquachin communityLauren CoulterNews staff
A North Saanich home was quickly engulfed by a blazing house fire Thursday morning, but fire crews say everyone inside the home at the time — including the family dog — made it out alive.
The home, located on Pauquachin Road in the Pauquachin First Nation community, is now com-pletely destroyed, said Gary Wilton, fire chief for the North Saanich Volun-teer Fire Department.
According to Wilton, the fire started roughly around 10 a.m., originating on the front porch and then spreading to the rest of the house. When crews arrived, the fire had already extended to the attic space, ripping the roof apart.
“It appears a cigarette likely caused the fire,” said Wilton.
Two family members were inside the home at the time the fire broke out, a father and his son. Wilton said both made it out unhurt, but were “very distraught.”
Also inside the home was the family dog, which got trapped when the fire started. One of the men tried to run back inside to help it out, but found that the air was just too hot. When fire crews entered the burning home on arrival they found the dog still alive and pulled it out to safety. It is now being treated by a local veterinarian.
Neighbours living close by were also asked to evacuate their homes as a safety precaution, as thick black smoke filled the sky.
While the cause of the fire is believed to be accidental, the fire department and RCMP are continuing to investigate.
“It appears a cigarette likely caused the fire.”

“Cautiously optimistic” was the heavy favourite as residents laid their wagers in the first public meeting with North Saanich coun-cil to discuss the Sandown pro-posal.
Residents at the meeting said they want to see a business plan, and don’t want to subsidize farm-ing on the former Sandown horse race track.
The land includes 95 acres in eight parcels. The proposal would see that consolidated into two titles; one would “cluster” com-mercial uses into 12 acres off McDonald Park Road and the other would be 85 acres with the District of North Saanich as the owner. The plan calls for removal of the 12 acres from the Agricul-tural Land Reserve, swapping it with just over 12 acres of remedi-ated municipal land and rezoning it to commercial. The remaining 83 acres would remain in the ALR, and be restricted to agricultural uses through a covenant.
“I see benefits for many people
in the community … but it is a decision for the community,” said mayor Alice Finall.
North Saanich created the pro-posal in response to queries from the property owners about what North Saanich might like to see done with the land. The prop-erty owners made the application based on that proposal.
“I don’t think North Saanich should be in the land develop-ment business,” resident and farmer Robin Herlinveaux told council.
“We’re not in the development business,” Finall responded.
The lack of business model for future use of the 83 acres that would in effect be taxpayer-owned reared its head again and again during the hour-and-a-half meet-ing that drew about 100 people to Parkland secondary school.
Business plan concerns included how the district would pay for demolition of buildings on the site, drainage issues many perceive on
the property, among other land-lord issues; and that taxpayers would wind up subsidizing farm-ers on the land.
“I agree farmers should not be subsidized by the taxpayers,” said councillor Ruby Commandeur who owns a blueberry farm.
Decisions on uses would come later, as a sec-ondary process, explained Rob Buchan, chief administrative officer for North Saanich. The site would also
require an environmental assess-ment, including the buildings.
Attainable housing also made an appearance during the discussion, with one resident asking why that wasn’t dealt with in this proposal.
“I understand that’s an issue, and it’s an issue this council con-tinues to deal with,” Finall said. “With this particular land it may not be an option.”
“I’m shocked people aren’t going, ‘this is fantastic’,” said Syl-via Miller, the RV dealer across from the proposed commercial
area, whose comments earned applause. She also noted that con-cerns over traffic would be moot.
“For many years there were thousands of cars coming to that track,” agreed Finall.
Under the proposal, the district would enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Agricul-tural Land Comission and make a commitment to fund agricultural improvement initiatives using 50 per cent of the tax revenue for five years minimum, starting no later than 2013.
“We need more farmers growing more food,” added Dave Friend, who works in organics education. “There are issues … it does need to get looked at professionally, and I get the sense you’re doing that.”
The proposal would have a long haul starting with an application to the Agricultural Land Commis-sion to swap land. The proposal would also have to go to the CRD because it would require a change in the Regional Context State-ment.
“When you talk of wealth and value, this is a tremendous deal,” said councillor Dunstan Browne,
of the land that would become dis-trict-owned. “The devil of course is going to be in the details.”

Kids will be swinging sooner at the new North Saanich middle school after what Craig Mearns sees as a little bit of payback.
The North Saanich council member recently voted not to provide funding for a new playground at the school currently under construction. Alongside his fellow North Saanich council members, Mearns voted against funding the playground because the request was submitted past the deadline for grant applications.
“After turning down the application from the school, (council) passed one from the CRD … and they had not even asked for the money,” Mearns said. “I felt really badly about that.”
After a little thought, he felt it was a mistake to have turned down the school’s request, and decided to donate $5,000 to the cause himself.
“I as a councillor am covering for what council has not done,” Mearns said. “What they should have done was given the money to the school for the playground and that was not done on the basis that (the request) was late.”
The new school, which is slated to open in the spring of 2012, wasn't budgeted for a
playground.“We're a little bit over halfway, we have to
come up with about 70,000,” said principal Keray Wing. “We can do one of the planned playground areas and the swings and the fall protection underneath will be as we can
complete our fundraising.”Students at the current school are excited
about the new play area, the existing school has only a set of monkey bars.
“It gives the children something to do at recess, because at the old school there’s not
much to do,” said student Lauren Fanelli.
“Mostly we just kind of sit around in the field right now, we don't really have anything to really play on … it sometimes causes trouble,” said student Montana Wright. “With the play-ground we’ll be able to be doing something and there won't be trouble.”
“Some kids get into mischief, so they kind of need to do something,” added student Landon Underwood.
Climbing wall, zip-line like equipment and “spinning monkey bars” are among the items the kids hope to see in the playground.
“We sure would appreciate anybody else that could come forward and help the com-munity get a playground that is designed for middle school aged kids,” Wing said. “The idea is that everyone in the community is more than welcome to come on weekends and after school because kids always need to be active and playing.”
To donate, contact North Saanich middle school at 250-656-1129 or send a cheque to the Saanich School District earmarked for the playground.

Sunday speeder stopped
Deer an inter-municipal issue
A North Saanich man may face charges of dangerous driving after police stopped him on a Sunday after-noon on the Pat Bay Highway. On June 12 around 2 p.m. Sidney North Saanich RCMP stopped a vehicle for excessive speed.
The motorcycle was first noticed traveling north on the Pat Bay High-way, near McDonald Park Road, in an 80 km/h speed zone.
“A southbound police vehicle determined the motorcycle was being driven at 243 km/h,” Cpl. Chris Swain, media liaison, said in a press release. “Moments later the motorcy-cle was observed weaving from lane to lane and passing slower traffic. The police officer radioed ahead and another officer near Lands End Road was able to stop the vehicle without incident.”
The 27 year-old North Saanich man driving was released on a Promise to Appear for court and the motorcycle was impounded for one week, pursu-ant to excessive speed legislation.
“Due to the sheer speed of the vehicle, the time of day, and the anticipated traffic volume on the highway, charges of Dangerous Driv-ing under the Criminal Code are being forwarded to Crown Counsel for consideration,” Swain said. “The Civil Forfeiture Office of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General has also started proceedings to seize the 2008 Triumph motorcycle as part of Proceeds of Crime Legislation. The Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles has also held a review of the man’s drivers license, suspending his driving privileges for 12 months.”
Maintaining the status quo of doing little to control the region’s deer popu-lation will result in a greater financial burden for governments and contin-ued risk of injuries or fatalities from car-deer collisions, says a Capital Regional District report released last week.
“It just says there should be essen-tially an inter-municipal committee formed,” Vic Derman, vice-chair of the
CRD’s planning, transportation and pro-tective services committee said. “We need to get together with stakeholders, need to create a plan for action and need to look for ways to fund that.”
The CRD can expect to foot the $125,000 bill to get the ball rolling if the issue is enough of a priority to be bud-geted into next year’s regional financial plan.

Well, as I write this, the weather is a little warmer but the sun still has not shown its face too much. Summer is coming, I believe, so it’s the time to be thinking about getting your car cleaned or in most cases, doing it yourself.I still get a lot of questions asked about how to properly take care of a vehicle’s fi nish. Some people have their own “cocktails” that may or may not work. I have even heard of one fellow using furniture polish on his truck. He though it was fantastic stuff until I gave him some wax, and sales of furniture polish plummeted.Any auto parts store in the area will carry a multitude of applications from swirl remover to body shampoo.Here’s what I get my wife to do. Just kidding … geez.I start out by giving my truck a good hosing down and then putting some car shampoo in a bucket. I then fi ll the bucket with hot water. Not warm or even luke warm, but can-barely-get-my-hand-in hot.Hot water will take off bird poop and even tree sap.
Then, with a woolen wash mitt I wash one half of the truck. Yes, the top half. Rinse and then wash the bottom half. I then hose underneath
the truck. It involves getting a little dirty, but hey, who doesn’t like to get dirty?
Then, with a different wash mitt, I do the wheels — keeping those two separate is important. You don’t
want to cross-contaminate, like cutting chicken and vegetables on the same cutting board.Chamois dry. A good chamois is worth its weight in gold.I then use Autoglym Radiant Wax. It’s just the best we have found, it’s easy to apply and easy to remove. I do one panel at a time, staying away
from the black plastic parts of the truck.No pressure, just apply it thinly, and wipe it off. I can
run around my truck in about 15 minutes.Use some tire black at the end and you’re done.
Vehicles should be washed and waxed every three months. If you keep it up, it’s a lot easier to do than
when you let her go too far.Cheers, Steve

The Board of Directors of the Creating Homeful-ness Society, which operates Woodwynn Farms Therapeutic Community for the Homeless, decided in a meeting June 23 to temporarily suspend oper-ations. “These are tough times for fundraising,” said Richard Leblanc, executive director.
In a press release Leblanc said every effort is being made to continue to support the current participants in the program while further funding is being sought.
The society will continue to move forward with its application to the Agricultural Land Commis-sion and rezoning with the District of Central Saan-ich.
The release stated that Woodwynn’s volunteers,
staff and directors are committed to do what it takes to ensure the project is a success.
The board agreed that the community is “not shutting down” but rather regrouping both opera-tionally and financially.

The heritage society that oversees the restoration of the old West Saanich School in Brentwood Bay, is celebrat-ing its supporters with a new donor recognition tile wall, built in front of the school at Pioneer Park.
The Brentwood Bay Old School Hall Society, with help from Bunyan Tile, covered the Slate Wall of Recognition with the names of local residents and businesses who contrib-uted a minimum donation of $100 to the fundraising initia-tive.
“(The wall) is there for everyone to see now and for-ever,” said Wayne Watkins, vice president of the Old
School Hall Society.The money raised goes
to the restoration of the old schoolhouse, which was built in 1908 and used as an ele-mentary school until 1952. Restoration on the hall began in 1997, to restore the building to its original condition.
“The school as it is now, is how it looked decades ago,” said Watkins.
It was recently declared a designated heritage building by the District of Central Saan-ich, which owns the building. It is currently being used as a headquarters for local Girl Guides and Scout troops.
Watkins said that they have added enough space on the wall for 12 more donor tiles, and those spaces will be the last. Those wishing to contrib-
ute to the restoration project can contact Watkins at 250-652-1247 or Sue Myerscough,
society president, at [email protected]

Sidney author Fraser Smith invented The Smith Manoeuvre in 1984. Over the past 27 years, thousands of ordinary Canadians have used the Manoeuvre to convert the interest expense of their mortgage payments into large annual tax deductions. These tax deductions produce annual tax refund cheques for the home owner every year for as long as they live.A typical homeowner would pay interest of $8,000 per year on a $200,000 mortgage at 4%. If they employed The Smith Manoeuvre, that $8,000 would be a tax deduction every year. The tax refund is not taxed, and is a gift from the CRA.Smith is conducting a free seminar at 7 pm on Wednesday June 29th at UVic for those interested in learning how to implement The Smith Manoeuvre. To register, please phone Kathy at (250)-656-7077. First 30 registrants will get a free copy of the book and the software. For reviews, go to www.smithman.net

EDITORIAL
Here are a few items that didn’t make the daily news cycle as B.C. residents prepared for the long-awaited summer of 2011 to begin.
• After her meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa last week, Premier Christy Clark delivered a luncheon speech to the Economic Club of Toronto.
Her big talking point for the speech was the rise of the Asia-Pacific region, “the fastest-growing middle class in the history of humanity.” The theme ran through her pitch to the federal government for a share of Ottawa’s largest-ever shipbuilding contract, and her recent meeting with western premiers in Yellowknife.
No word on how Clark’s enthusiasm for the west as Canada’s economic engine of the future went over with the Bay Street crowd.
• After the speech, Clark took the wheel of a Chevy Volt electric car for a spin around Toronto with a GM Canada vice-president riding shotgun. She pronounced the car “fantastic technology.”
This is pertinent as B.C. residents get ready to pay the latest increase in B.C.’s carbon tax. Effective July 1, the tax on a litre of gasoline rises from 4.45 cents to 5.56, with comparable increases to other carbon fuels.
Clark has inherited Gordon
Campbell’s aggressive climate change-clean energy agenda, and it’s not yet clear what will become
of it. She has committed to the last consumer carbon tax increase in 2012 (up to 6.67 cents on a litre of gas), but the fate of the big hydroelectric push remains uncertain.
Those plug-in electric cars need to start selling before Campbell’s gamble of developing increasingly costly electricity starts to pay off. One potential competitor is natural gas-powered vehicles, taking
advantage of huge new shale gas discoveries in B.C. and elsewhere.
• Campbell’s pending appointment as Canada’s high commissioner in the United Kingdom should warm the hearts of conspiracy theorists.
The story broke when Clark was in Ottawa, and when reporters asked for her take on the appointment, her first comment was that he’ll be a big help in negotiating a free trade agreement with the European Union.
Students of Bill Vander Zalm will know that he sees the harmonized sales tax and EU trade as an effort to impose world government and set B.C.’s sales tax rate in Europe.
Early in his goofy anti-HST campaign, Vander Zalm claimed this was plan B for world government after the conspirators failed to impose a global carbon tax.
If the HST is a conspiracy,
it’s a mighty big one. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon never tires of reminding people that 140 countries already have value-added taxes, including China and those other Asia-Pacific tigers that are dominating the world economy.
• Douglas College in New Westminster and the Heilongjiang Institute of Science and Technology in Harbin, China have celebrated the graduation of 137 students in their dual-degree business administration program.
The program began in 2003, with an exchange of instructors. At the Harbin campus, students take 52 courses to qualify them as specialists in global financial markets and international banking.
• By last year, there were 94,000 international students in K-12, post-secondary and language schools in B.C. According to the advanced education ministry, if considered an export service, international education is B.C.’s fifth largest export, accounting for seven per cent of exports from the province.
Meanwhile in B.C., discussion of international trade still tends to revolve around lumber and logs. And according to a recent poll, Vander Zalm is still considered by many to be an authority on trade and taxes.
It’s time to join the world’s adult conversation.

Finger-pointing on deer pointless
Deer overpopulation is a problem that has been brewing for decades in the Capital Region.
For most of those years, we have, as predominantly urban-dwelling individuals and families, thrilled at opportunities to see nature up close and personal.
In recent years, however, that wonder has turned to anger, as deer find their way into gardens and gnaw away at flowers and other vegetation delicacies lovingly and painstakingly cultivated by homeowners.
Outraged residents argue to local politicians, animal control staffers and the provincial Ministry of Environment that something has to be done. But the ministry claims it has no money to take action on the problem.
So whose problem is it, anyway? Is it the fault of the underfunded MoE, which is charged with managing wildlife in urban, rural and remote areas? Or the Capital Regional District animal control specialists, whose main function to this point has been managing the dog and cat populations?
We must come to grips with the fact we’re all to blame. We’ve become so good at making sure natural predators of deer — mainly cougars — stay away from urban environs that the deer have bred largely unchecked for years. Today we see the effect of that strategy.
The province clearly has no appetite to organize a cull or relocate deer families living here or any other urban area in B.C. Essentially it falls upon residents to take action, but not by arming themselves with various forms of weaponry.
As representatives of the region, the CRD board needs to listen closely to the electorate to see if it’s an important enough issue to spend money on. If so, a committee could consult with say, a conservation officer to come up with a localized business plan for the professional and humane reduction of deer population. The plan would then be presented to the Ministry of Environment for approval.
Sure, there will be outrage from animal lovers. But remember, you helped create the problem, ironically by demanding safety yet not accepting a cull of some sort.
‘International education is B.C.’s fifth-largest export.’

Sunglass protectionSunglasses, clip-ons and tinted lenses are used
to block out the glare of bright sunlight. They can also fi lter out ultra-violet (UV) rays. These rays are invisible to the eye, yet potentially harmful.
Ultra-violet is thought to be absorbed mostly at the corneal level. This is the cause of “snow blindness,” an extremely painful condition.
Recent evidence indicates that some UV may play a role in cataract formation and may also be one of the causes of macular degeneration.
Misconceptions exist regarding sunglass selection and protection. It is true that you can’t tell how much UV a pair of sunglasses is blocking by the color or the density of tint. This doesn’t mean that UV light is diffi cult or expensive to block.
An inexpensive pair of sunglasses that claims to block 100% of UV almost certainly does. The advantage of the more expensive brands lies in the quality of their optics and the visual comfort they afford the wearer.
To get the best advice about sunglasses talk to an optometrist.

Letters to the Editor
Regarding Eileen Nattrass’ letter (Booze the problem PNR June 22), I am curious as to where she found the information to be able to say that in B.C. “we have the reputation of consuming the most alcohol in all of Canada”.
I went online and found a 2008 article on the CBC website referring to a 2007 report by the Brewers’ Association of Canada that shows not only do British Columbians not consume the most alcohol, we’re not even close.
Ahead of us for total consumption, in order, were Yukon, Alberta, Quebec, Newfoundland, Ontario, and then British Columbia in sixth (well below the national average). In fact, in the four categories British Columbia did not top any of them — beer (11th), wine (third), spirits (seventh), and coolers (seventh). We are well below the national average in beer consumption, but we are above the national average in the other three.
I appreciate that the survey is four years old, but I have trouble believing that in such a short time we have increased our alcohol consumption enough to have become number one.
If Ms. Nattrass could share her source of information with us I would appreciate it.
It looks to me that we have some work cut out for us if we want to be number one. Thank goodness the summer is here.

The logic for the recent changes to the bus service in Central Saanich is difficult to comprehend.
Transit has cut back on the number of runs and reduced other runs; they have cut back on the stops on some runs and tell us this was done to improve service (adding more buses to the express run with no stops in Central Saanich is not improved service).
Getting into the spirit of Transit logic I suggest running half their buses in reverse so they can recover the energy from the ones going the other way.
Fits right in with their other logic of telling us that they lose more money when the ridership goes up.
Norm Ryder,Central Saanich
I would like to thank the government for lowering the HST from 12 per cent to 10 per cent albeit over several years. That will help those who are on fixed incomes and families who are in the low income bracket.
In my opinion, now that the HST is in place we should make every effort to make it work. I say this in part because I realize it makes sense — especially for big business.
However, in order to really make it work for the average citizen further changes must be forthcoming. It’s fairly simple, and is nothing new.
Create the same tax exemptions to basic items such as food staples (bread, milk), hygiene products, drugs and basic health care, energy saving devices, etc., that we had for the PST.
Then, and only then will this new tax work for those who are now seeing a future of financial struggle.
Then, and only then will the ‘average’ citizen, and small businesses accept and whole heartedly support the HST.
As Ida Chong put it, with the HST families will be better off on their routine expenditures. But many tax-based expenditures that adversely affect incomes are not routine expenditures. In fact more often that not the greater financial burdens come with those expenditures that are costly, and not routine.
I am disappointed that the wording of this referendum does not make any point regarding exceptions to this tax.
Len Fallan,Central Saanich
It was unsettling to say the least to see a Confederate flag displayed prominently in the photograph accompanying an article about a local auto racing enthusiast (Ross Rockett, PNR June 24).
For people with some sense of history, this flag means one thing: it is the symbol of a rogue government which fought a terrible war to defend ownership of human beings enslaved because of their skin colour and exploited to provide the artificial wealth propping up a romanticized image of the “Old South”. I should know — some of my ancestors owned and exploited black people on their plantations and fought to preserve slavery, while others fought and died to end that monstrous system.
Most North Americans recognize the Confederate flag for what it is, but apparently not in this remote corner, where it shows up on bumper stickers, car windows, and now in the local newspaper.

Got a Question?Got a Question?RIGHT OR WRONG? Q & A With Rosalind
Uncommon sense for marketplace decisions with Rosalind Scott, Executive Director, BBB
If you have a question or experience that you would like to share with Rosalind Scott please email [email protected].
Q: Dear BBB,I recently saw a brochure with the BBB’s Top Ten Scams of 2010 listed. I was shocked to see that you had listed some normal, reputable industries as being rife with frauds and scams. This seems like an unfair general-ization and didn’t make sense to me. In fact, you even have some BBB Accredited Businesses operating in a few of the industries that were noted in your Top Ten list. I am confused; this seems hypocritical and doesn’t make sense to me? ~ Confused Consumer
A: Confused Consumer,You are WRONG to assume that the BBB’s Top Ten Scams list is an attack on ALL businesses within specifi c industries. The purpose of the Top Ten Scams list is to identify for consumers and business the top 10 scams that had the greatest impact in our region. Sometimes these scams contain information about obvious frauds (i.e. Nigerian Letter Scams, Foreign Lotteries), other times they contain information about ongoing unethi-cal business practices by SOME businesses operating within a specifi c industry. The purpose of these Scam Alerts is not to paint all businesses in one industry with the same tainted brush, but to identify unethical busi-ness practices occurring by some businesses. In almost every industry or business category there are businesses operating legitimately and ethically, and businesses that are not. By “identifying the bad” the BBB is better able to emphasize the importance of doing business with re-liable, reputable, trustworthy businesses (such as BBB Accredited Businesses, who have been screened and agree to abide by our Standards of Trust and Code of Business Practices).

Road Maintenance BulletinAnnual Chipseal Program
I was out early this morning for a quick walk, and a search for something about gardens that would appeal to you.
Aside for some pretty cistus plants and a few dandelions it was pretty slim pick-in’s until I came to the Anglican church’s small side garden which contains some lovely dark blue iris which I believe are one of the so-called Dutch iris. These are slender plants, some of them five or more feet tall. The ones I saw were only were about 18 inches in height, but the most wonderful dark blue. The more robust iris, with big, bold flowers with heavier falls (the petals that droop down close to the stem) has much larger blooms.
Himself gave me one in bloom some years ago that was so purple it was nearly black. It has never flowered since, although I fertilize it, and water it faithfully, but it is in a pot, and I assume it hates it there, but it doesn’t have a lot of choice unless I give it to someone who has an actual garden.
So far I have resisted doing this for purely sentimental reasons, but Jim’s daughter-in-law is a great gardener so I think I’ll give it to her. Maybe next year it will flower and I can go to their home in Victoria and view it there. She was very fond of Jim so it would seem appropri-ate, wouldn’t it? Ridiculous I know, but I’ll miss it, although it will not bloom for me, and this spring was covered in black aphids until I sprayed it with a mixture of dish soap and water (one-quarter tea-spoon in a one litre spray bottle seems to work well).
Fill the sprayer with the water first then add the soap or you’ll be up to
your chin in soap bubbles.

Encourage kids to gobble up some great reading this summer. Children will Savour Each Word when they join the 2011 Summer Reading Club at the Van-couver Island Regional Library’s Sidney/North Saanich branch.
Kids from Kinder-garten to Grade 7 can sign up starting today and receive a free reg-istration package. Book prize draws will be held through the summer.
“Regular reading dur-ing the summer helps kids to maintain or even improve their reading and literacy skills and studies show that vol-untary reading is the number one factor in establishing good read-ing habits,” said Sharon
Walker, library man-ager. “Summer reading club makes reading fun and our staff can help kids find just the right book.”
The Sidney/North Saanich branch also offers a Read to Me Club for those who can-not yet read indepen-dently. Children receive a special registration package, and families are welcome to attend
a weekly storytime program with refresh-ments and social time afterwards.
Teens may also par-ticipate in reading fun with the online Teen Reading Club at www.teenrc.ca.
For more informa-tion, contact the Sid-ney/North Saanich library at 250-656-0944 or check out the web-site at www.virl.bc.ca.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, June 29, 2011 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A17
There is an urgent need for more Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPN), particularly outside the urban areas of the province. And with the workforce aging – the average age of a Registered Psychiatric Nurse in BC is 47 years – the number of retirees from the profession is exceeding the number of graduates. Entry-level earnings start at $29/hour to $38/hour.
Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery. This 23 month program is recognized by the CRPNBC. Government student loans, Employment & Labour Market Services (ELMS), band funding &
other financing options available to qualified applicants.
