Sidney council candidates Mervyn Lougher-Goodey and Bob Jones share a laugh during the Nov. 4 forum at the Mary Winspear Centre, hosted by the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and Peninsula News Review.

Sidney candidates greet full houseSteven HeywoodNews staff

Following the Sidney all can-didates forum at the Mary Win-spear Centre Nov. 4, a few of

the people running in this years civic election said they were impressed with the large public turnout. It was standing-room only for much of the two-and-a-half hour session, where voters

were given the opportunity to listen to the 13 candidates for council and mayor of Sidney.

While there were no fireworks on stage to speak of, the crowd heard where the candidates

stand on a variety of local issues and see how they responded to a series of written questions.

The Saanich Fairgrounds will be the site of the annual Ducks Unlimited Canada charity diner and organizers are hoping to beat last years $40,000 raised for ecologi-cal work in Greater Victoria.

Daniel Shnitka, chair of the Saanich com-mittee of DU, says the objective is to fill as many seats as possible and eventually grow to fill the largest hall in the commu-nity.

Last year, the donations grew by around 15 per cent, he said. We had great sup-port from local businesses.

On Nov. 15, DU welcomes the commu-nity to dinner with room for up to 250 people at the Saanich Fairgrounds. Tick-ets are being sold in advance and can be found by calling 250-652-6203. The gala event features raffles, entertainment and the silent and live auctions.

The dinner raises money to support DU projects in the region from work in Roberts Bay on the Peninsula, to the protection of a significant portion of the Chemainus River Estuary.

Shnitka said last years gala was sold out, so he encourages people to get their tickets now before theyre snapped up.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone has backed away from a proposal by B.C. Ferries that it should consoli-date its two Nanaimo ferry terminals, after objections from B.C. Liberal MLAs on both sides of the route.

Stone said Tuesday that B.C. Ferries should consider whether it still needs both ferry termi-nals at Nanaimo. B.C. Ferries calculates that its Nanaimo runs have higher costs and lower ridership than the main

Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay run.

But on Wednesday, Stone ruled out that possibility.

I indicated yes-terday that while we werent endorsing or supporting the idea, it may be worthy of con-sideration, Stone said by phone from Regina Wednesday. Over the last 24 hours, Ive had some very good con-versations with my Island colleagues, Don McRae (Comox Valley) and Michelle Stilwell (Parksville-Qualicum) as well as my paril-iamentary secretary

Jordan Sturdy (West Vancouver-Sea to Sky). Theyve made some very strong and elo-quent arguments to me that they dont believe closing one of the two terminals at Nanaimo would be a good thing, not just for the econ-omy of Nanaimo, but potentially the econ-omy of the mid-Island.

However, the com-pletion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road through Delta and expensive refits required at the Horse-shoe Bay ferry termi-nal in North Vancouver could result in a shift

of some mainland-to-Nanaimo ferry traffic to the Tsawwassen termi-nal in the coming years.

B.C. Ferries has released a new major route strategy that pro-poses ending the Horse-shoe Bay-Nanaimo run and putting the traf-fic on the Tsawwas-sen-Duke Point route, which has had sailings cut due to low usage.

Stone also ruled out B.C. Ferries sug-gestion to consider a passenger-only ferry from Departure Bay in downtown Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay.

Four school trustee hopefuls filed their nomination documents in Central Saan-ich for this Novembers civic election.

Two trustees will be elected from Cen-tral Saanich as well as two trustees from Saanich, two from North Saanich and one from Sidney to make up the full board of trustees for the Saanich School District 63.

In Central Saanich, Tim Dun-ford (incumbent) said he hopes to secure the four-year term again.

[Since 2011] this board has been a productive and collab-orative group of trustees, said Dunford. In addition to gov-erning the ongoing business of public education in the Saanich District, the board undertook a number of initiatives. And, all involved in public education, locally and provincially, are aware of the need to focus on reinforcing relationships in challenging fiscal times.

Dunford is married with three children who have all gone through the Saanich School District. He has lived in Central Saanich for almost 30 years and is a fam-ily law lawyer.

As a trustee he has served as Chair of the Policy Committee for the past three years, which, he said, develops the blue-prints for managing education in the Dis-trict.

I cannot overemphasize the impor-tance of positive working relationships among all of the stakeholders in pub-lic education, includ-ing teachers, parents, CUPE and the Min-istry of Education, especially after the recent job action. In the Saanich District weve been fortunate to have recognized and fostered these.

Dunford also said he feels that board decisions must be balanced, based in the public and community interest.

An on-going concern I have is that the board raise the profile of public educa-tion in the collective public mind and continue to encourage integrating district resources with community needs under the Community use of Schools Policy, and pursue intelligent advocacy for the neces-sary funding of the system. As the larg-est employer on the Peninsula and with a preliminary budget of $80 million this year, it is critical that the public and all

parties be fully engaged.The second incumbent in

Central Saanich is Nick Claxton, who is also hoping to secure the four-year term again.

Claxton said a major thrust for him is providing a First Nations voice on the board.

I want to provide a voice for the local community, particu-larly the First Nations

communities, on the board of education, said Claxton. Our local First Nations communities value the strong relationship with the district and 7.6 per cent of the student population in the district are Aboriginal. I will also put the consideration of all chil-dren first, in all board decisions.

Claxton is a member of the Tsawout First Nation and was born and raised in Central Saanich.

Claxton is currently a PhD candidate in Curriculum Studies at the University of Victoria and also works in Indigenous Education in the Faculty of Education at UVic, where he teaches Indigenous Edu-cation to pre-service teachers.

I would like to see continued improve-ment in Aboriginal student graduation rates and I would like to promote a wide variety of learning opportunities for all students in the district, Claxton said of items hed like to pursue should he be re-elected.

Nancy Borden, who is self employed, said her inspiration for running came from the fact she has children in the sys-tem and has spent time volunteering with various parent organizations.

Ive volunteered my time as PAC Presi-dent and First Nations Representative at the local school level, as well as as the District PAC President and other execu-tive positions with the British Columbia Council of Parent Advisory Councils, she said.

The Ministry of Education has, in the last three years, seemingly turned boards of education and teachers into revenue generators rather than service providers. This directly affects the staffs ability to

do their job and it needs to stop. We have skilled staff in Saanich that can create good learning environments when given the time and money to do so, she said.

Borden said she decided to run for trustee because she believes her years of work at the district and provincial levels have prepared her to help address these and other issues on the table.

I understand the commitment and dis-cernment that is required of a trustee and I am ready now to fulfill that role should the taxpayers of Central Saanich put their trust in me, Borden said.

Pat Bryant, a police officer with the Central Saanich Police Service, is running for the first time as school trustee. He said his work as the youth resource offi-

cer (school liaison officer) was part of what encouraged him to become further involved with public education.

I believe that my experience in the district schools over the past nine years, along with the relationships I have built, pro-vide a natural segue into the trustee position where I can work with other trustees and district executive members in a cooperative and fiscally responsible manner, he said.

Bryant spent two years as the coordi-nator of the traffic safety committee at Keating Elementary as well as he was a member of the school planning council and a member of the PAC as vice presi-dent and co-president.

I am currently a member of the Bay-side Middle School planning council as well as Ive been a rugby coach since 2010, he said.

Bryant said he feels he would be a valuable member of the board because he will be accessible and transparent.

I would like to be a member of a school trustee board that is seen astrustworthy, approachable, transparent, creative and able to make informed decisions that we can stand by, he said.

The municipal election takes place on Saturday, Nov. 15. For more information visit centralsaanich.ca.

The candidates were hit with some tough questions on topics that extend outside of the municipalitys juris-diction. The first ques-tion asked was how they would ensure Sid-ney has a diverse age range, plenty of afford-able housing and a vibrant downtown after 5 p.m.

Mayoral candidate Don Amos focused on a potential redevelop-ment of West Sidneys residential area as one way to do all that. West Sidney is high on Amos list in this election an area he said needs more attention in the form of sidewalks and other infrastructure

improvements.Steve Duck, also run-

ning for mayor, noted the Town needs to offer amenities, peti-tion businesses to stay open longer, increase activities for youth and explore options with neighbouring commu-nities and the Sidney Business Improvement Area Society.

Mayoral candidate Cliff McNeil-Smith men-tioned what he termed a loss of children from area schools over the last 10 years and said the Town needs to explore its options in making these issues a high priority.

Steve Price, running for mayor, added Sid-ney needs more resi-dents and to do that,

housing density needs to be high which, in turn, will help keep businesses viable.

Council candidates picked and chose which parts of the question to answer, but most said they sup-ported development growth, secondary suites and other afford-able housing options and even tax incentives to make things happen.

Candidates were also asked about how they could attract more doctors to Sidney. As health care is under provincial control, can-didates said they could have little impact, other than to encourage more affordable housing and set the stage for devel-opers to want to build

medical clinics.All candidates were

asked whether they live in Sidney and if not, how they justify making decisions for the Town.

The question applied to only four candidates Rosemarie Bongers, Erin Bremner, Melissa Hailey and Cam McLen-nan who live outside of Sidneys boundaries. All, however, pointed out they have long-term ties to Sidney be it through business or social attachments.

My life is in Sidney, said Bongers. I own businesses here. I live in Sidney but I sleep somewhere else.

McClennan noted he cannot afford to live in Sidney, but is trying. He lives in North Saanich.

Hailey added it doesnt matter where she lives, when I am awake, I am here with you.

Bremner said the question should have been about the record of the non-residents involvement in the community.

Financial restraint was raised time and again by many of the candidates espe-cially when asked about projects like a proposed new fire hall and the $3.4 million pedestrian overpass.

While Price noted the project wont cost tax-payers any money (not directly the project will be covered by gas tax money returned to Sidney as well as provincial and federal grants), others said the money would be better spent elsewhere.

Council candidate Bob Jones said the fire hall was state-of-the-art when it was first built adding hes reluctant to build a new one with-out public input, or refit the existing one for mil-lions of dollars.

Overall, the people in the audience had to listen carefully to each answer given. The forum certainly wasnt full of fireworks but each candidate was able to express their ideas and make their appeal to voters.

AliciaCORMIER

Occupation: Retired businessman, and pre-vious owner and oper-ator of the local family business, Xanavision Video.

Background: I am a family man

with three children from ages 26-33; I am a previous small busi-ness owner of Xanavi-

sion Video, which included a location in Saanichton. I have also been a licensed home builder and I have been retired from this since 2011.

1. Why are you run-ning for Council?

I want to help our future generations, our children saying that they will not be able to own a home due to high prices. We need to take a step back and look at what needs to be done, which should include making changes to the size and supply of lots to create new homes.

By allowing for smaller lot sizes and increasing supply of lots, the total cost of a

home will decrease and allow for more people to become home own-ers. Existing property owners can also bene-fit by the allowance of infill housing on their excess land and the cre-ation of carriage homes that can provide rental income.

Occupation: Sr. Pol-icy Analyst, B.C. Minis-try of Health.

Background: First elected in 2002;

seeking 4th term on Council. I live in Cen-tral Saanich along with my wife and I follow the lessons of my grand-parents which are to be involved in build-ing the community we love. My grandparents were instrumental in establishing the Central Saanich Seniors Centre and many other com-munity projects.


I love this commu-nity. In my three terms on council, I have been able to make a differ-ence by helping to shape the Official Com-munity Plan (OCP) and by making deci-sions that respect both the OCP and Regional Growth Strategy.

2. What are your top three issues to tackle, if elected?

1) We need to get our fiscal house in order by keeping taxes low, sav-ing and paying down our debt.

2) Reinvesting in our village centres to encourage business to relocate there while also building housing for seniors and young families.

3) Step up efforts to get safer access to the Keating business park

to both protect school children and enhance our Keating area.

3. What kind of leadership will you bring to council?

I believe in opening the doors of munici-pal hall to encourage active citizen participa-tion in identifying and resolving issues. I think council should make evidence-based deci-sions, relying on staff reports as well as citi-zen input.

4. What are your thoughts on indus-trial, residential and agricultural balance in Central Saanich?

We need to maintain and enhance farming while concentrating on residential develop-ment in built-up areas, while encouraging new industry in the Keating Industrial Park.

5. Do you think council should pro-ceed with the proposed Maber Flats project?

I dont believe there has been adequate public consultation. The best way to ensure there are no boon-doggles with tax dol-lars is a willingness to slow down and ensure extensive public con-sultation takes place.

YOUR VIEW

I am very concerned that my constituents know that I never urged Canada do nothing in face of the threat posed by ISIS (re: letter from Bill Wilson, Saanichton, Nov. 3).

I opposed the bombing largely because many foreign policy and security experts feared the six-month bombing campaign would do more harm than good. Indeed, a senior member of the opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad recently made the same point, arguing Canadas contribution would be more effective if it involved trainingthose opposing ISIS on the ground.

I was the only MP in June 2011 to vote against bombing Libya. I explained thatsince some of the rebel groups we supported included Al-Qaeda,continued bombardment, instead of peace talks, would allow the warehouses full of tanks, ground to air missiles and guns to end up in the wrong hands. I wish I had been wrong, but through our good intentions in Libya we ended up arming ISIS.

The following is the position I took in voting against the bombing in Iraq. Firstly, we should observe these key principles:

1) Ensure that whatever we do complies with international law. Despite the several UN security council resolutions relating to ISIS, it is far from clear that acts of bombardment comply with international law.

2) As physicians have solong pledged, First do no harm. Retired ambassadors Bob Fowler and Peggy Mason, among others, have warned a six-month bombing campaign could do more harm than good.

What could we do? Send more funding to assist

Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan deal with the Syrian refugee crisis on their borders.

Offer to the UN that Canadian forces (on the ground) will be available to establish a multi-national peace-keeping force whose purpose is to provide round the clock security and protection for aid workers and refugee camps throughout the region.

Sign and ratify the UN Arms Control Treaty to stop the flow of arms to terrorists globally.

Shut down the oil refining capacity of captured ISIS oil fields and stop the black-market flow of oil.Choke ISIS of the millions of dollars a day it is making on black market oil.

Ensure that as broad and deep a coalition of non-western, regional governments as is possible pledge to eradicate religious extremists and terrorists.

Send help to the Kurds immediately as they fight off the ISIS assault.

I agree that when faced with violent and ruthless forces, whether in 1940 or 2014, we cannot stand by and do nothing.I am committed to ensuring that anything Canada does is effective, aids in finding a durable peace and avoids a worsening crisis.

diers on Canadian soil I am offended by complaints about the noise that Naval helicopters make around Vic-toria International Airport.

This is one of the tangible ways in which residents of Sidney and North Saanich can be reassured that our servicemen are indeed standing on guard for thee. In simple terms the squadrons 2,000 hours of flying annually would work out to be about five or six take-offs and landings daily for a one hour flight, or approximately a one-hour flight each day, for each Sea King assigned to 443 Squadron.

Take offs and landings last only minutes, circuits maybe 10, surely not enough time each day to get your knickers in a twist.

In comprehensive terms 443 Squadron perform frontline services in the protection (anti-submarine warfare) and welfare (air sea res-cue) of Canadians, particularly in British Columbia.

All of the personnel (military and civilian) that are assigned to this annex of CFB Esquimalt serve us. They deserve our support. They could use more hours to maintain their proficiency and provision of service but find themselves, like much of the armed forces, the scapegoat for budget cuts to main-tain political dynasties.

Decades of political shenanigans and tendering, followed by ques-tionable manufacturing antics, 443 Squadron should have long ago exchanged their current equipment for more efficient and up to date machines.

I hope the complainants will be happier when the Cyclones arrive, but be warned there are supposed to be more of them.

Avoid worsening crisis and find peace

Change is the constantW

ere always told not to fear change, but the truth is, change is usually pretty scary. However, what we dont often keep in mind is that change is vital for all of us to grow

and succeed.When I first started in my role as a full-time

reporter for the Peninsula News Review, I was nervous. I was a green reporter, I had only recently completed my post-graduate studies in journalism, and I was setting out on a new adventure.

However, one big thing that kept me from running scared from the job, which can be a notoriously

tough one, was the fact that I was spreading my wings in my hometown.

I was raised on the Saanich Peninsula and graduated high school here, so there were many familiar faces around to help me get accustomed to my new job as a journalist. Over the last two-and-a-half years, Ive only added more familiar faces to that roster of wonderful people Ive met and Ive only made deeper

connections both in the community and further afield.

Working as a reporter you are often an ear for someone to bend, a confidante for people with secrets or exclusive information, and sometimes youre even a shoulder to cry on. Its those times the rewards of the job, with its long days and never-ending deadlines, are most evident. Ive enjoyed every minute of being immersed in this wonderful community and seeing it, in some cases, grow and change, just as I have.

It is with that sentiment and acknowledgement of the importance of growth and change that I made the decision to leave my post as reporter for the News Review earlier this fall.

Today, Friday, Nov. 7, will be the last day I sit at my desk as the PNRs reporter. New adventures as a freelance writer beckon and I am excited and looking forward to what the future has in store.

Thank you to everyone who made my time with the Peninsula News Review more challenging, complex and, most of all, rewarding.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, Novoember 7, 2014 www.peninsulanewsreview.com A7

Occupation: Interior Designer/ planner/ project manager / art-ist (who keeps trying to retire).

Background: Having served on

Central Saanich coun-cil from 2002 to 2011, I bring experience, consistency, historical memory, solid decision making and research skills to the table along with over 45 years pro-fessional experience as a designer/planner and project manager.


People have asked

me to run knowing I care passionately for Central Saanich and that while sitting in the political middle I bring balance between growth and no growth and careful manage-ment of the Districts finances, infrastructure and operations, while aggressively explor-ing opportunities to increase our tax base.


Defer Maber Flats until we have all the information needed to make an informed deci-sion.

The Tsawout devel-opment on the east side of the Highway will have a huge impact on how we do business in Central Saanich and its vital that we estab-lish a good long term plan for economic development with the aid of an economic development advisor and public input in

conjunction with First Nations and neighbour-ing municipalities. This would include proper fiscal planning, while prioritizing financial demands and increas-ing our tax base.

Advocate for multi generational hous-ing, senior care facili-ties and assisted living accommodation.

1. Protecting our productive farmland while allowing our non-productive farmland to be better utilized and included in the urban containment boundar-ies.

2. Increasing the number of homes/busi-ness within Central Saa-nich so we can increase the number of taxpay-

ers (including businesses), which should in turn lower the tax burden per home.

3. Creating clear and transparent guide-lines for those seeking to do business in our community (rezoning, building permits etc.).

3. What kind of leadership will you bring to council?

I will bring a trans-parent leadership. I believe that the elected

officials should repre-sent and be the voice of the residents in Cen-tral Saanich. I will listen to all stakeholders and ensure that decisions are only made once we have ample information to make an informed, intelligent decision.

I will not make deci-sion based on how to get re elected or special interest groups (I am not taking any dona-

tions/ contributions from any person or groups) but on what is fair and right for our residents.

4. What are your thoughts on indus-

trial, residential and agricultural balance in Central Saanich?

I believe balance amongst industrial, residential and agricul-tural uses is crucial to the success of Central Saanich.

It is my opinion there is not a balance and we need to increase our residential and indus-trial market growth gradually, while ensur-

ing we maintain and protect our productive agricultural land.

5. Do you think council should pro-ceed with the proposed Maber Flats project?

I believe that the proposal for Maber

Flat should be re-eval-uated as the residents of Central Saanich are requesting more infor-mation on the proposal.

We need to look at the immediate neces-sity of going forth and look into other options that can help farmers

solve the issue of flood-ing.

Are we paying the right price for this par-ticular piece of land? Ultimately, we need more information on the proposal and more feedback from resi-dents.

Continued from page 73. What kind of leadership will you bring to

council? Representing the political middle, I look at

managing sustainable growth and bring balanced decision making to the table. I believe good com-munication and planning leads to good decision making, enabling me to be a strong, well-informed leader.

4. What are your thoughts on industrial, resi-dential and agricultural balance in Central Saa-nich?

We have the convenience of an urban lifestyle with the benefits of country living all working in

accord with one exception, truck access to our industrial area which currently impinges on our residential streets. We need to continue strongly advocating for improved access to Keating.

If elected I will continue to integrate environ-mental, economical, and social considerations together in all decisions related to growth and change in our community.

5. Do you think council should proceed with the proposed Maber Flats project?

I believe this should be deferred until an informed decision can be made.

Our Agricultural Advisory Committee has con-cerns with the land cost, that the qualitative and quantitative analysis was inadequate and that there are other design options which havent been looked at.

Good planning enables good decisions.

Occupation: Retired.Background: I have run in several civic

elections in Victoria when I was a resident there. I attended university with a focus on Russian and Ameri-can comparative studies as a young man and ran my cam-paigns as a Peace Candidate.

Being an ardent Liberal, I started work campaigning for Christy Clark. I also have a great love of sports, particu-

larly soccer and I am promoting my dream to see Canada as a world soccer power by 2020. Youll often see me at the side of the Pat Bay Highway with my soccer balls promoting this; my hope is

that Canada can become a high level soccer power in the coming years.

I have lived in beautiful Brentwood Bay for over 15 years.

1. Why are you running for Council?I am running for council because this election

in Central Saanich grants the privilege of support-ing a precise, direct vote on any project, service or decision that is deemed good for over 10,000 tax paying citizens. There is a lot to be done with expenditures based on the criteria of fiscally responsible cost control.

We remember Nov. 11, 2014Youve got to be good to be luckyDonald Smith won the Distinguished Flying Cross after 53 sorties over enemy territorySteven HeywoodNews staff

After surviving 53 sorties over enemy territory, Sidney veteran Donald Smith considers himself lucky.

But youve got to be good to be lucky, he said, and youve got to be lucky to be good.

Smith, 93, was an air force Pathfinder during the Second World War. Pathfind-ers were a select group of air crewmen, chosen to fly dangerous missions in Lancaster bombers. Smith was a navi-gator, radar operator and bomb aimer (he says he did many jobs during his two tours).

Most flights were made over Ger-many at night, he said, but towards

the end of the war, it changed to day-light flights. The Allies has cleared the air for us by that time.

Smith joined the war effort as a young man in Edmonton. He was sent to Saskatoon for training and was earmarked as a bomb aimer and was sent for addi-tional training in Lethbridge.

Once complete, he was shipped off to England for more training and eventu-ally joined a bomber crew with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Smith said he started out flying in Halifax bombers out of Yorkshire.

With his first unit, 432 Squadron, Smith said he flew around 20 trips.

The powers that be thought we were an excellent crew, he recalled. We were seconded to the Pathfinders course, transferred to the Lancaster bomber and went on a further 53 sor-ties.

On board, Smith was tasked with operating what was then state-of-the-art technology in the new radar sets. It was basically a scanner, he said, that offered a rough picture of the terrain

they were over.It was a great naviga-

tional aid, but the Germans cottoned on to that pretty quickly and would jam it.

Overall, due to Allied air superiority during his ser-vice, Smith said the crew didnt run into much trou-ble.

For his service, Smith was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Smith, following his tours of duty, would be sent back

to Canada and soon left the military. He went back to the job that was wait-ing for him at the Bank of Montreal. His career saw his work in many places, including Sidney, which is where he and his wife decided to retire.

Wearing a poppy on your lapel this month has taken on a deeper meaning in the wake of the deaths of two soldiers in Ottawa and Que-bec in crimes that have reverberated across the country.

Val Noyes, who has run the poppy campaign for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 37 (Saanich Penin-sula) for the last 15 years, says interest in the poppy and peoples donations have increased. She said shes hearing from people that it was those incidents in east-ern Canada that created a spike in local interest something she said is unfor-tunate and should not have to happen to get Canadians to remember the sacrifice men and women have made for their country.

The annual poppy cam-paign occurs across the country. Artificial poppies are snapped up as people hope to show their remem-brance of past and current service. Noyes said that no matter the reason, peo-ples generosity is up this

year and that bodes well for the veterans and young people the Legion supports throughout the year.

In 2013 alone, Noyes said the Branchs poppy cam-paign, held from Broad-mead to Swartz Bay, raised approximately $82,000.

Its just been phenome-nal, she said of the commu-nity support. People on the

Peninsula are just so gener-ous.

Run by volunteers like Noyes, who is a lifetime member and past-president of the local Legion branch, they rely on the community for help and to keep their overhead low during the campaign.

TestFest puts green machines and gas-guzzlers through their pacesYou gotta love a competition that pits a small, zero emissions 74-horsepower (Smart Car) electric vehicle against a 707-horsepower, tire-smoking (Dodge Challenger Hellcat) muscle car. Thats whats on the cards if both vehicles win their categories in this edition of the Canadian Car of the Year Competition. This was the second year in a row that TestFest was held in Niagara Falls, On-tario, and once again, the Niagara Parks Commission, at the Legends on the Ni-agara Golf Course, hosted it. No golfing for Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) members, who converged on the place in droves, but lots of oppor-tunities to fill out score cards on the fifty 2015 model year vehicle entries arranged into fifteen categories. Same-day, back-to-back vehicle category assessments were performed, using both specially prepared evaluation courses and on public roads by the invited journalists during the six day TestFest event. So, until the official category winners are announced December 2, here are my picks in seven categories, in which I evaluated all the entries:

City Car: Kia Soul EV & Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. Bobs Pick: Both entries are small electric vehicles and theyre close in terms of perfor-mance, but the Kia Soul EV is my choice. It seats five (instead of two), has more cargo space and rides nicer, making it a more practical everyday car.Price (base/as tested): $34,995/$34,995Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 10.5 secondsBraking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 43.4 metresFuel economy (city/highway): 2.0/2.6 Le/100 km

Small Car - Over $21,000: Mini Cooper, Kia Forte5 & Volkswagen Golf. Bobs Pick: The winner of this category should be a strong contender for the overall car of the year title. Lower, longer and

wider, the all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf is my pick. Its an even more refined hatchback and I loved its new base turbocharged 1.8-litre engine. Price (base/as tested): $19,995/$24,295Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 8.4 secondsBraking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 41.4 metresFuel economy (city/highway): 9.3/6.5 L/100 km

Family Car - Over $30,000:Hyundai Sonata, Subaru WRX & Toyota Camry Hybrid. Bobs Pick: The ultra reliable Toyota Camry Hy-brid is a great value package. Nearly ev-ery exterior surface has been redesigned and the interior has been upgraded. It now comes with 10 standard air bags and a clever new feature allows it to recharge a smart phone wirelessly. Price (base/as tested):

$28,410/$34,500Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 8.0 secondsBraking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 43.9 metresFuel economy (city/highway): 5.7/6.1 L/100 km

Luxury Car - Over $50,000: Acura RLX Hybrid, Cadillac ATS Coupe, Hyundai Genesis & Kia K900. Bobs Pick: My clear winner here is the Acura RLX Hybrid, a large all-wheel drive luxury sedan thats fun to drive, yet very easy on fuel. It uses a 3-motor hybrid powertrain with a front electric motor & twin rear motors. The drivetrain also includes a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.Price (base/as tested): $49,990/$69,990Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 6.0 secondsBraking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 44.3 metresFuel economy (city/highway): 8.0/7.5 L/100 km

Sports Performance - Over $50,000:Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang GT & Volvo

V60 Polestar. Bobs Pick: Priced well below the other two entries in this category, the new Ford Mustang GT provides excellent bang for the buck and looks awesome. Price (base/as tested): $42,499/$51,899Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 6.2 secondsBraking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 39.5 metresFuel economy (city/highway): 15.2/9.3 L/100 km

SUV/CUV - $35,000 to $60,000: Chevrolet Tahoe, Lincoln MKC, Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 & Toyota Highlander. Bobs Pick: Big can be beautiful, as Chevrolet Tahoe has evolved into a more drive-able vehicle that offers a supremely comfortable ride, can pull a (3863 kg) mountain and the new EcoTec 5.3 litre V8 engine provides decent fuel economy, especially on the highway.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, November 7, 2014 A13BLACK PRESS GREATER VICTORIA- Friday, November 7, 2014 Driveway B3

DrivewayBC.ca

By Zack Spencer

The all-new 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a full suite of large trucks from General Motors. These range from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Denali and the Cadillac Escalade. Something of interest is the preference Canadians have for the GMC brand over the Chev-rolet trucks, which are the most popular in the United States. More Canadians go for GMC and the US loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse. LooksIn the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheel-base version and the Subur-ban is the longer wheelbase model, with much more cargo space behind the third row of seats. The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition along with a power tailgate and backup camera. How did we ever live without these amenities before? The biggest change is the front lighting package GM has used on this Chevrolet. LED daytime running lights make a statement and the monster grille with the big

Chevrolet bowtie looks rough and ready.InsideOne of the biggest chang-es in the full-size pickup trucks is the level of refinement and ride quali-ty and this has migrated into this Tahoe, the cabin is quiet and refined. This is done through a number of advancements; one of the biggest is the way the doors wrap into the roof to help shut out road and wind noise. The next big advantage is the attention to detail in the front cabin. There is a big screen, front and centre, with easy to use and access rotary dials and switches.DriveThe two-wheel drive Tahoe is the value leader in the GM line of full-size trucks, starting at $51,900-- the GMC comes with a $2000 premium over the Chevy. Yes, this is an expensive vehicle but keep in mind that towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. With a towing capacity of 3856kg (8500 lbs.) in two-wheel drive trim and 3765 (8300 lbs.) with four wheel drive, the Tahoe is up to the task of towing most pleasure boats

and family campers with ease. The Tahoe uses the same 355hp 5.3L V8 engine found in the full-size pickup trucks. It uses direct injec-tion technology and has the ability to switch off half of the cylinders to help save fuel. There is a small indica-tor light on the instrument cluster that tells the driver when the engine is running on just 4-cylinders. This helps the driver feather the throttle to keep the engine in this fuel saving mode as long as possible. When more power is needed, the engine automatically reverts to all eight cylinders for maximum power.VerdictThe Tahoe tested was the top LTZ trim with the mag-netic ride control, the same system used in the Corvette

Stingray. This system mon-itors the road condition up to 1000 times per second and adjusts the shock ab-sorbers up to 100 times per second to improve ride and handling. TThe GMC De-nali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable. This Tahoe is just part of the full-line of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family.
