Is Big Brother really watching you? Three Victoria privacy advocates have spent the past two years trying to answer that question, digging up scraps of information on a controversial police technology called the automated licence plate recognition system. “We have been stymied at every level,” said Chris Parsons, a University of Victoria PhD candidate specializing in privacy issues. The device uses police cruiser-mounted cameras to automatically capture up to 3,000 licence plates per hour. It then notifies officers of a “hit” on prohibited owners, as well as uninsured and stolen vehicles. The technology is used throughout British Columbia and is administered by the RCMP. In Greater Victoria, VicPD, Saanich police and the Integrated Road Safety Unit use it on a regular basis. What makes the program so concerning to critics is that data collected from “nonhit” vehicles is kept on encrypted RCMP servers for two years. Although it’s not used, the information could be referenced for investigative purposes to retrace vehicle movements. The RCMP insists such actions are not taking place, but the Mountie in charge of the program, Supt. Denis Boucher, said his office is considering expanding the program.

Bringing the past to life with music Local composer Tobin Stokes keeps busy in his Oak Bay studio
Did you know? Tobin Stokes has been a composer in residence several times, including a three-year writing stint with the Victoria Symphony from 2005-08. He also has on-going roles with the Powell Riverbased International Choral Kathaumixw Festival and the Symphony Orchestra Academy of the Pacific. This fall, Stokes will begin a twoyear residency with a choir festival in Sweden.

T
wo computer screens sit atop a desk in Tobin Stokes’ studio. Below his keyboard full of letters and numbers lies a keyboard with shiny black and white keys. In the corner of the room sits his favourite instrument, a large piano. The 45-year-old composer seems right at home in his Oak Bay studio. After all, he currently spends about 10 hours a day, seven days a week working there. Stokes usually starts his day around 7 a.m. He likes to spend his mornings writing opera music at the piano and afternoons at his desk – he’s not just a composer, but a musical director, arranger and sound designer, too. This summer, “I just love Stokes is busy for music and love to preparing a number of create music.” upcoming performances. He’s - Tobin Stokes been editing one of his pieces, known as the Inner Harbour Overture, to play at Symphony Splash with the Victoria Symphony on Sunday, Aug. 5. The piece, which first premiered at the Splash four years ago, is making a comeback. The Inner Harbour Overture was not only inspired by, but also includes, many of the sounds, such as the horn of the MV Coho ferry and the bell of the Netherlands Carillon Tower, that can be heard on a quiet morning in the harbour. The original performance also included the live siren from the Johnson Street bridge, as well as the tooting E&N train. It takes a lot of coordination to play that one part of the piece, Stokes says. “You get one crack at it, so it’s a little bit frightening,” he adds with a laugh. Another project he is working on is an opera based on the life of Francis Rattenbury, the famed architect known for the Legislature building and the Fairmont Empress Hotel. While the idea for an opera has always been something Stokes played with, the actual staged performance of Rattenbury remains a elusive, he says, adding that he’s been working on the opera for about a year. “It’s still a bit of a dream because there are so many things that need to fall into place,” he explains.
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Composer Tobin Stokes works on his chamber opera Rattenbury which will be presented Sept. 29 and 30, in the Crystal Ballroom of the Fairmont Empress Hotel as part of the City of Victoria's 150th celebrations. Stokes’ take on Rattenbury will delve into the architect’s life. “I’m sort of out to investigate how he got into the situation where he was, an old, unhappy man,” Stokes says. In the meantime, Stokes continues to develop music for the future opera. He plans to present the music in a concert performance at the Empress this September. The concert will be an evening celebrating Rattenbury, Stokes says.
“His legacy is everywhere, so he’s definitely worth celebrating.” Stokes is also working with the nonprofit group, Explore, to develop Fallujah, an opera based on a U.S. Marine’s personal experience with post-traumatic stress disorder. While final edits are being done on Fallujah, Stokes says he expects it will premiere somewhere in the U.S. Stokes also produces music for films and is currently working on a TV series,

Apocalypse… When?, for local Asterisk Productions, and a BBC documentary for CBC-TV and PBS. Born in North Vancouver, Stokes spent most of his childhood in Powell River. He moved to Victoria as a teen and attended Oak Bay High. He grew up singing, playing the piano and drums. Early on he began writing choral music and developed an interest in computers. Stokes has a degree in percussion from the University of Victoria, but says, he was always drawn to composing. “I just love music and love to create music,” he says. What Stokes enjoys most about his profession is the variety of people he works with and the constant challenges brought about with each new opportunity. “Every day in the studio is completely different,” he says. Combining all of his talents and finding a way to effectively tell a story is a challenge, he says, but one that he enjoys. “Opera, in general, is pretty amazing because it takes all my skills that I’ve learned from every different musical pursuit and brings them all together.” His knowledge of the stage, writing for a choir, and knowing orchestral instruments help to tell a story with a melody, he says. When Stokes isn’t in his studio, he likes to spend his time gardening, canoeing, riding his bike and going for walks around his Oak Bay home. Although he doesn’t usually have trouble focusing or finding inspiration, those activities can help, he says. “There are some days where there’s a lot less inspiration going on than others, and I just don’t worry about it,” he says. “That’s when I do the business side of stuff.” Today must not be one of those days, as the soft sounds of the piano flow from Stokes’ studio into the streets of Oak Bay. reporter@vicnews.com

Questions you should ask about travel insurance. The summer sees more people travelling over the border, making the most of the warm weather and school vacation. It’s also the time many discover they’re under-insured when they incur steep unexpected medical expenses in a foreign country. These can, however, be easily avoided by asking a few pertinent questions before you go. Do I need travel insurance for a quick trip across the border? Accidents are just as likely to happen on a day trip as any other day at home or at work. Driving on unknown routes could potentially increase the odds. As always, it’s best to ensure you’re fully covered. Does BC Medical Services Plan cover everything? Provincial health care is unlikely to cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of province, or overseas. In fact, the Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country because of the extremely high cost of medical care outside of Canada. My credit card automatically covers that, right? You may not have adequate coverage through your credit card plan. Check to ensure you
One young man pleaded guilty to robbery and assault related to a robbery during the Oak Bay Tea Party. On June 2 around 2 p.m. Oak Bay Police responded to an armed robbery on the 2400-block of Beach Dr. where a group of Asian home-stay students were approached by a pair of teens. One youth grabbed a home-stay student and stole his wallet. The wallet owner and his friend fought back, facing mace and a pair of knives, police said.
A 15-year-old Victoria resident and a 15-year-old Saanich resident were arrested. The youth who pleaded guilty was on an undertaking for a mischief charge that had occurred in Oak Bay at the time of the robbery. He was charged with robbery, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and a breach of undertaking. He plead guilty to the robbery, assault with a weapon and the outstanding mischief charges and is awaiting

Many plans offered through employers lack certain options, like trip cancellation or interruption insurance. You can purchase these on their own to complement your company’s travel insurance. Also, some employee plans only cover the employee, so if you are travelling with your family, ask your insurance specialist about a family travel insurance plan, for both medical or trip cancellation/ interruption insurance.

Dean Jantzen gave assurances that the incident posed no risk to public safety. Andrew Jonathon Belcourt, 22, is charged with breaking out of a prison cell with intent to escape on July 12, 2011.

The same charge was dropped against coaccused Max Higley. The only publicly known escape from Wilkinson Road jail was in 1986 by Robert Moyes, a career criminal later convicted of murdering seven people. Belcourt remains in custody and is also headed to B.C. Supreme Court in September for a pretrial hearing for the murder of Leslie Ronald Hankel in Fernwood on March 3, 2010. Samuel Gregory McGrath is also charged with murder for that crime. editor@saanichnews.com

Its title has seeped into Facebook statuses and tabloid headlines, comedians have staged dramatic readings, and at Chapters in Downtown Victoria, the racy book and its two steamy followups are the store’s top three best-sellers. Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James – the first in the series of sadomasochism (SM) erotica which has been widely criticized for its poor quality of writing – has become one of the fastest selling books of all time, and one local sex therapist began experiencing an onslaught of women bent on getting in tune with their sexual side like never before. “It’s interesting to me, how the people who have never really been interested in sex are suddenly interested in erotica and more of an erotic life for them and their husbands,” said Jayne Weatherbe, a Victoriabased marriage and family sex therapist in practice for the last 30 years. “What I’m also noticing in friends and family is that people who have never really been interested in sex in their marriages are suddenly getting really interested.” This week, the 63-year-old therapist hoped to address those desires she attributes to the book by offering three free workshops aimed at women of all ages who would like to feel sexier. University of Victoria political science professor Janni Aragon specializes in pop culture and gender issues and sees some troubles in Fifty Shades. Aragon completed her thesis on women in SM at San Diego State University and says the

Licence probe a positive move Depending what side of the fence you sit on, automatic licence plate readers are either another step closer to a Big Brother surveillance society, or a needed piece of technology police can use to nab car thieves and bad drivers. Either way, it is a good decision by B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham to try and shed light on how licence plate readers work, what data is collected and how it is used. Victoria and Saanich police departments and the regional Integrated Road Safety Unit each use a hightech, high-speed camera which can read thousands of plates per hour and match them against those from stolen and uninsured vehicles, and help identify people without valid licences or those who are prohibited from driving – collectively known by police as “hits.” The Victoria, Saanich and Oak Bay police insist they don’t amass and store gigabytes of licence plate image data. That much is true – it’s all passed on to the RCMP, which administers and oversees the licence reader program. All the data is stored on RCMP servers, hits and non-hits alike. RCMP bosses indicate the program could be expanded to help police conducting serious crimes investigations. Victoria-based critics say the plate-scanning program has veered far outside its original mandate to efficiently find bad drivers, and is headed into mass population surveillance, or surveilling known activists. This suggestion seems like conspiracy theory, but it is a fair question to ask how much surveillance people should be subjected to, what data is being collected and kept and how it’s being stored. On days the readers are in use, Saanich and Victoria police officers retrieve an encrypted memory stick from the RCMP with flagged drivers’ plate numbers, which is plugged into the system. At the end of the shift, the collected data and encrypted database is returned to the RCMP. Hopefully the B.C. privacy commissioner can offer suggestions to balance the tension between privacy rights and law enforcement. But that investigation likely won’t be able to probe the most troubling aspect of the automatic licence plate reading program – the collection and storage by the RCMP of the locations and movements of innocent people going about their daily lives. The federal privacy watchdog needs to investigate what the RCMP is doing with this data. Police should have their tools, but civil rights shouldn’t be thrown under the bus. What do you think?

difficulty recruiting talent, as many people are reluctant to leave the comforts of the city. You may also be given the opportunity to learn more and hold a larger number of responsibilities than you would have in the city, as there are generally fewer staff at small-town operations. The experience you receive in a small town as a permanent, full-time employee will bulk up your resumé for job applications in the city. The downsides include starting new, adjusting to small-town life and leaving behind family, friends and the city’s bright lights. Small towns also offer different forms of entertainment, which some people either can or can’t embrace. Staying in the city and fighting for a spot in the workplace is an admirable ambition. Some succeed, but many of us don’t. In general, to write off a small town is to lose out on opportunities. How much do you really want to do what you do, if you aren’t willing to make a few sacrifices along the way? Sharron Ho is a reporter with the Sooke News Mirror. reporter@sookenewsmirror.com

OAK BAY NEWS - Friday, August 3, 2012 -
OPINION Carbon Trust has run its course growth from new opportunities … (by attracting) offset purchases from private citizens, companies and other governments alike.” That hasn’t happened; the Trust is still a drain on provincial taxpayers – and getting worse. Two years ago, individuals and businesses bought 6,790 carbon credits. Last year, that number fell by more than two-thirds to 2,167. In a free market, that kind of consumer rejection would be taken as a sign to either radically change the model or get out of the business altogether. For government, it’s just another day at the office. Government’s spring 2012 announcement that $5 million of Trust funds will flow back to school districts to lower carbon emissions won’t solve the problem. This will only transfer money from poorer districts to wealthier ones that can afford capital upgrades. And the fund is still only one-third of the total cost to taxpayers – meaning millions more in corporate handouts in years to come. The best solution is the simplest one: scrap the Pacific Carbon Trust and keep our tax dollars out of the pockets of these private companies. While the notion of a carbon-neutral government may sound nice on a website, doing it through corporate welfare hurts both taxpayers and the public services we fund. Jordan Bateman is B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
LETTERS Politicians should listen to fact-based science
Cyclists need to adhere to Motor Vehicle Act
Re: Scientists must hound CRD (Our View, July 25) The ongoing debate for and against sewage treatment in the Capital Regional District has been going on too long. On one side are those whose opinions are based, it seems, on unfounded images of our effluent floating around our waters and deterring the tourists. On the other side are the scientists, who actually study our waters and tell us there is no scientific evidence of any benefit from installing secondary treatment. The scientists who have spent years acquiring their knowledge based on fact, not surmise, are the people whose opinions should be followed. They should speak up more forcibly and insist we hear and understand the true facts: that the money saved would be there for more urgent matters, such as the loss of marine habitat due to development and the impact of invasive and non-native species. Mary-June Pettyfer Oak Bay
A recent edition of the News (July 25) carried an article reporting on two separate accidents, one of which saw a cyclist trapped underneath a truck that was making a right turn. The comment from the Victoria Police Department spokesman was that “drivers should always shoulder check and cyclists also have a responsibility to make themselves visible to drivers.” Rather than putting the onus on drivers to always shoulder check and bikers just making themselves visible, cyclists have a responsibility to act according to the Motor Vehicle Act and ride according to the rules of the road. Being a cyclist myself, I have seen many incidents where cyclists do their utmost to sneak up the inside and go through intersections when the intelligent thing to do is wait, stay behind the vehicle, let them turn right and then proceed. Let’s all be accident-free. Harry Felsing Saanich

Oyster habitat creates extra headache Beds below bridge throw curve ball at replacement project Roszan Holmen News staff
Few people likely know the Gorge Waterway is home to a native species of oyster. But the little creatures have played a part in delaying the construction of the new Craigflower Bridge, which links Saanich to View Royal and Esquimalt. A federal environmental assessment of the bridge replacement project is moving slowly, and even more so since thick oyster beds were found under the bridge. “The oysters are probably the key issue (behind the delay),” said Jim Hemstock, special-projects manager in the Saanich engineering department. Federal law requires that the bridge replacement project results in no net loss of marine habitat. “If we’re disrupting the oysters, then we need to compensate,” Hemstock explained.
Island. The World Fisheries Trust has been monitoring their population since 2009. In July researchers collected oysters at three sites for counting and measuring, before returning them to their beds. For the first time, this year the 79-year-old Craigflower Bridge was included in the survey. Investigation revealed that the Olympia oyster population is significantly denser between the wooden pilings than any other oyster bed along the waterway. Areas under the bridge hold 400 oysters per square metre, comRoszan Holmen/News staff pared to 250 per square Camosun College environmental student Nicole Barrette led a recent oyster metre elsewhere.

While Olympia oysters are listed are more abundant in the Gorge While the environmental mitigaas a species of special concern, they than anywhere else on Vancouver tion plan has yet to be approved
by the federal government, it will likely involve transplanting each oyster, Hemstock said. “It’s going to be very expensive.” World Fisheries Trust has been hired to help design the compensation plan. “The new pilings will be concrete, which oysters like,” said Trust executive director Joachim Carolsfeld. To help oyster larvae settle on the pilings, he recommends texturing the concrete with horizontal ridges. To help predict other factors in the oysters’ survival, he is overseeing related studies in the Gorge. One is looking into the presence of invasive species and their interaction with Olympia oysters. Pending the receipt of a grant, he also plans to look at the movement of oyster larvae. The health of the oyster population is a good barometer of water quality and health of the ecosystem, Carolsfeld said. They’re also important in their own right, he said, as they filter water and provide habitat for other sea life. rholmen@vicnews.com

Saanich police Const. Janis Carmena shows the automated licence plate recognition software, which scans licence plates and alerts officers of prohibited drivers and uninsured vehicles.
Oak Bay police see benefits Continued from Page A1
“It’s called function creep,” Parsons said. “That means every citizen that drives, they want to be able to track who they are and where they’re at.” Parsons claims that the information is already being cross-referenced with child custody and other court records unrelated to driving infractions, but Boucher denies this. “It doesn’t flag somebody simply because he’s got a criminal record,” Boucher said. “These are for hits where we have outstanding action to be taken against an individual.” To resolve these concerns, Parsons and fellow researchers Bruce Wipond and Kevin McArthur submitted their findings to B.C.’s Office of Information and Privacy Commissioner, which set in motion an investigation into VicPD’s use of the technology. Because the RCMP is outside of provincial jurisdiction, Denham’s investigation is limited in scope to municipal police services.
“The investigation will look at general questions like what kind of information (VicPD) are collecting, how are they using it, is it retained or disclosed to anybody,” said Cara McGregor, privacy commissioner spokesperson. The Saanich police purchased a plate reader of its own this year and it has been in operation for a couple of months. Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the device has “proven its worth” in the time it’s been in operation. “It generates a lot of activity for our traffic safety officers,” he said. Oak Bay police do not own a plate reader, but it is used by the Integrated Road Safety Unit when it is operating in the municipality, said Deputy Chief Const. Kent Thom. “It’s only used by police members who are using the tool at the time,” said Thom. “It’s not for information/observation gathering and stored to be acted upon at a later time. At least that’s the way we look at it in Oak Bay.” Oak Bay police are not adverse
to the use of the technology, Thom added. Jantzen, though not trained on the machine, confirmed that “non-hit” data is never used. “As long as you’re not a suspended driver, that your licence is in good standing, that you have valid insurance, there’s no reason you’ll ever come into conflict with this device,” he said. The privacy commissioner’s report is due to be published next month and will be the first privacy review of the technology in Canada. In a statement, VicPD Chief Const. Jamie Graham said Automated Licence Plate Recognition is an “incredibly important application that directly contributes to improved road safety.” VicPD, which began using the program in March 2011, is co-operating with the investigation and has developed internal policies to govern the use of the device, department spokesman Mike Tucker said. – with files from Kyle Slavin and Jeff Nagel dpalmer@vicnews.com

Legendary folk music icon Arlo Guthrie is touring in select cities across North America with three generations of Guthries to celebrate Woody Guthrie’s 100th birthday (July 14, 1912). The Guthrie Family Reunion tour will make its way to a dozen venues and music festivals, including the Butchart Gardens. “Getting the family together and heading out on the road is the perfect way to celebrate my father’s centennial,” said Guthrie. “Only once before did we have the whole family on tour, and we did 80 shows. Instead of doing an entire year of touring and taking the kids out of school, we are focusing on shows right around Woody’s actual birthday. This time of year marks

I’ll also continue my solo touring in honour of my dad through spring 2013.” The Guthrie family will perform several Woody Guthrie songs as well as various Arlo Guthrie standards and new material written by members of the Guthrie family. “The family’s new songs are a great representation of our heritage. I like the idea of Woody’s legacy being carried forth, not only by performing his songs, but to show how it moves us to write our own songs,” Guthrie said. The Guthrie Family Reunion features Arlo alongside his son Abe, who has contributed keyboards and backing vocals to his father’s live shows since the ‘80s. His daughters Cathy, Annie and Sarah Lee Guthrie, all of who have their own bustling music careers, support by singing songs and accompanying on acoustic guitars. Sarah Lee’s musical partner and husband Johnny Irion will lead songs and lend his stalwart guitar playing. The youngest generation of Guthrie kids will join in the fun on select songs.

iki Hodgkinson was 16 when she shaved her head for the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. Eleven years later she’s riding in the Tour de Rock as a rookie officer with Saanich police. The annual fundraiser she started at Oak Bay high school has been ongoing ever since. “I’ve wanted to get involved since then, and wanted to be (a cop), I just didn’t think I’d be able to ride on the Tour so soon,” Hodgkinson said. The 27-year-old is at one end of the spectrum, while fellow Saanich officer Jana Sawyer is at the other end. Sawyer has worn a badge for 28 years, starting with nine years in the RCMP. The past 19 years she’s been with Saanich, making her one of the longest serving women there. “I’d always wanted to ride the Tour de Rock, but with three teenage boys and a husband with (Victoria Police Department), I needed the support from home, and now I’ve got it,” Sawyer said. Cancer has taken a personal toll on her family. “Lung cancer took my mother-in-law eight years ago and my own mom six years ago when it spread to her brain.” Rookie or veteran, both police officers have learned a lot about bicycling, and a lot about what makes the Tour de Rock such a demanding but rewarding campaign. “As far as cycling, you couldn’t jump into it with this type of training intensity without such a big goal,” Sawyer said. While cycling at this level is new for

Oak Bay High can be relied on as one of the highest contributors from the Greater Victoria community, as well as Reynolds secondary. “Reynolds (principal) Alana Charlton was at Oak Bay when I was a student and helped me get the campaign started,” Hodgkinson said. Biking too, was Hodgkinson’s initiative. Seniority usually dictates which Saanich Police officers will ride on the Tour de Rock, but the rookie was ready. “Last year when I got hired the first thing I bought was a (road) bike. But I don’t think anyone’s done Tour de Rock in their first year here. I got lucky.”
Lucky is something Sawyer hasn’t been. Twice she’s taken a spill, the first a dangerous tumble over the handlebars and onto the pavement down Willis Point Road. It kept her away from training for 10 days. Soon after she returned, Sawyer twisted her ankle trying to detach her cleat from the pedal during a speedy descent near Observatory Hill. Sprained ankle and all, Sawyer toughed it up the team’s ascent of Mount Washington last week, their most exhausting day of training by far. “Once you do (Mt. Washington), you know you can handle any day on the Tour,” Sawyer said. “It’s a confidence builder.”

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Top soccer players headed to UVic Some of women’s soccer’s top recruits from B.C. and Alberta have committed to the University of Victoria Vikes women’s soccer program for the 2012-13 season. Striker and midfielder Sarah Douglas,
midfielder Allie Wiebe, striker Sarah Lefebvre, and defenders Nikki Turner, Sam Lee and Erika Groten are expecting to suit up for the Vikes this year. Since 13, Douglas has played competitive soccer in the women’s premier division with Victoria clubs Gordon Head and Gorge. In 2011, Douglas spent the summer as a regular starter with the Prospect Super 20 Highlanders team following her Grade 11 season with 2011 Provincial A Cup winners Glenlyon Norfolk School. Turner and Lee, both Cla-
Don’t let Simon wear you down This week Andrew Russell is in London, training with Simon Whitfield and Kyle Jones as the latter pair prep for their Olympic event on Aug. 7. Russell will move on to an Ironman in Europe later this month. Russell’s partnership with Whitfield dates back to 2007 when Russell arrived in Victoria. By 2009 Russell was regularly alongside Whitfield and Jones. Most recently, the trio is part of a highly elite group under the tutelage of Olympic marathoner turned coach Jon Brown. It’s brought Russell to new heights, finally winning his first ITU this year. “Training alongside (Whitfield), a two-time medalist, has raised my game and I cannot thank him enough for that,� Russell said. “It has shown me what is possible with dedication and honest, hard work. The last three years I’ll cherish for sure.� However, Russell said his group is not for everyone. “The expectations and requirements each day with Simon are fierce and it can often wear on athletes. I learned that I am not Simon and I can’t handle the amount of training he does and the pace he does it in. “You need to self-govern yourself within the program to get the most out of it while not getting run-down. “Brown has been great with this aspect. He reads athletes well and balances my training to suit.� guidance of coach Patrick Kelly and the National Triathlon Centre. He’s also trained with Russell and Whitfield, most recently for a two-month stint in New Zealand earlier this year. “We met up with some more worldclass athletes, and it was huge for my development,� Sharpe said. Next up for Sharpe is the Kelowna Apple Triathlon on Aug. 18. sports@vicnews.com

OAK BAY NEWS - Friday, August 3, 2012
Gathering up all those back-to-school staples W
andering slowly down an aisle in the Staples store in Saanich, Taryn Tuckwell’s eyes light up as he spies the range of new pens and pencils he might use for school this fall. The 10-year-old is typical of the many young students whose families will get help with back-to-school expenses this fall through the seventh annual Staples School Supply Drive. He slips a shiny, chrome pen set off its Don Descoteau hook. “How about this one, Biz Beat dad?” Taryn asks Trevor Tuckwell, a former client of the 1-Up Single Parent Resource Centre and now administrative co-ordinator for the Greater Victoria service provider. For the first time, the three area Staples stores have partnered with 1-Up in the School Supply Drive. The stores are directing a portion of the funds raised to the local organization, which annually collects supplies for client families in need. “We always look at building relationships in our communities,” says Staples’ Fort Street store general manager
Ryan Webber. “We’re trying to make it as seamless as possible and want to (provide for) the kids in need.” Nationally, Staples raised more than $1 million last year with its School Supply Drive. Locally, the three Greater Victoria stores – downtown, Tolmie Avenue and in Langford – are out to collect $26,000 in supplies and cash donations between now and the end of August. The donations will be passed along to various organizations working with families in need, including 1-Up. This year the resource centre hopes to fill 200 backpacks – valued at between $70 and $100 each, depending on the age and grade of the child. Kari Frazer, 1-Up’s executive in charge of special projects, says the efforts of Staples’ staff in accepting donations and packaging supplies is invaluable, given the large amount of time 1-Up staff spend on the project annually. “I’m not sure we could continue without partnerships like this,” she says. “It’s so vital for parents to get the school supplies and take the stress off.” Customers can make donations various ways in-store. For people wishing to donate to 1-Up at Staples or directly, tax receipts are available for donations of $20 or greater. On Saturday, Aug. 18, Staples
