Nick Ross knows childhood bullying isn’t what it used to be, as social media, anonymous apps and other tools make it difficult for many parents and teachers to keep up, let alone take action. But as the Saanich Police Department’s school liaison supervisor, Ross is literally paid to keep up with the latest technology and lingo, so he can stay ahead of the bullying curve. “When someone was having trouble at school, they used to go home and

it may not start until the next day. But with online stuff, they can go home, log into their computer or check an app and suddenly, there’s 10 more messages that are targeting them,” Ross said. “It’s really taken away that safe haven and the impact is so much more widespread.” Ross and his fellow officers are donning appropriate attire today for Pink Shirt Day, an annual anti-bullying initiative that began in Nova Scotia in 2007 and has since spread to more than 25 countries. A major component in Saanich PD’s
fight against bullying in schools is the WITS program, a national anti-bullying education campaign that began in 1993 at Esquimalt’s Lampson elementary. The acronym stands for Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out, Seek help. “We’re trying to get everybody to use a common language, and to understand that getting help is normative,” said University of Victoria psychologist Bonnie Leadbeater, WITS Programs principal investigator.

As Saanich considers expanding an environmental bylaw that severely restricts development on some private properties, one local homeowner is questioning why the municipality failed to inform him about existing restrictions on his property. Fergus Kyne bought his Derby Road home nine years ago knowing the 1/4-acre lot could potentially have an artist’s studio in the backyard. But Kyne only recently learned that his backyard is one of four properties on the street subject to the Environmental Development Permit Area (EDPA), a development protection bylaw approved in March 2012 that requires owners to seek permission for practically any disturbance to vegetation or soil on the property. The EDPA also restricts the construction of most outbuildings. “The question I have is how would anybody know about this restriction if it’s not on land title? It’s highly unlikely people will be calling Saanich when they’re putting in gravel or mulch,” said Kyne, who is also a real estate agent. The EDPA relies on aerial maps of potentially sensitive ecosystems – created by the federal and provincial governments in the 1990s – that had led the municipality to restrict development in and around tree canopy. (A cluster of trees at the back of Kyne’s property feeds into a Garry oak meadow beside Doncaster elementary school.) Removal from the EDPA requires homeowners to pay for a professional biologist’s report to prove their property no longer supports a sensitive ecosystem. Even then, removal is at the discretion of the municipality and council.
