Welcome to Sidney Canada Day celebrations


DISCOVER NORTH SAANICH

North Saanich, one of the most beautiful and diverse municipalities in the reigon, will usually be the �rst community visitors will exerpience when visiting. Both main travel entrance points on Southern Vancouver Island, the Swartz Bay Terminal for BC Ferries and the Victoria International Airport, are located here.

We welcome visitors and have much to o�er them. A signi�cant portion of our land is agricultural with many varied and active farms and other rural attractions. Not only do these o�er a supply of locally produced food, but they provide a charming contrast to our residential areas. Energetic volunteers host our well established Saturday morning farm market at St. John’s United Church on West Saanich Road. Many farms o�er sales of produce, breads, preservatives and meats at this market and you may even �nd local jewellery and art. Our annual farm Flavour Trail event will be help August 24 and 25 this year o�ering many opportunities to tour local farm, winery and restaurant venues.

Our walking trails are extensive and appealing, covering most areas in the municipality and ranging from those easily walkable to more challenging areas in Horth Hill Park and Dean Park, well worth the e�ort for the views. Other parks o�er a variety of attractions, including magni�cent views of our shores, and our native plants and trees. We have produced a Trails, Parks and Beaches Guide which is available at the Municipal Hall to visitors and residents.

In addition to these aspects, our 45 km shoreline extends around the municipality, attracting many boaters and �shing enthusiasts, and serviced by local marinas. The Panorama Recreation Centre o�ers swimming, tennis, skating and other �tness facilities. There are two local golf courses, Glen Meadows and Ardmore.

The opportunity to indulge in such a variety of leisure activities is enhanced in North Saanich by the unspoiled beauty of our rural and marine areas. We hope you have a wonderful experience visiting North Saanich.

Mayor Larry Cross

I encourage you to join us for Sidney Days as we celebrate Canada’s 146th birthday and our wonderful community of

Sidney-by-the-Sea.

Celebrations begin Sunday, June 30th at 4:00 pm with the Thrifty Foods Community BBQ in Beacon Park. Following, there will be live music, a citizenship reaffirmation ceremony, free cake for everyone and of course fireworks!

Monday, July 1st, enjoy the Pancake Breakfast at 9:00 am and then find that perfect spot to watch the floats, marching bands and comical clowns in the Parade. The afternoon will provide a Family Fun Fair, Dog Show and the very popular Slegg Lumber “Build a Boat” contest.

Volunteers play an integral role in bringing Sidney Days to the community. On behalf of Council and the Town of Sidney I would like to say a sincere “Thank You” to Peninsula Celebrations and all the wonderful volunteers who make these events happen.

Come out and celebrate Canada Day Sidney style!

Peninsula Celebrations Society, which is celebrat-ing their 30th anniversary is delighted to have Marge Nelson — volunteer extraordinaire — as the 2013 Honourary Sidney Parade Marshall.

Marge Nelson, born in Woodstock, New Brunswick moved to Victoria with her husband John in 1995. Sadly, John passed away in 2000.

Volunteering seemed to come naturally to Marge; she learned from her mother who spent a lifetime helping members of the community.

As a member of the St. Andrews church, Marge will-ingly does pastoral care. She has worked at the Gorge Hospital for five years, where she continued to ensure that those who left the hospital were well looked after. She also worked at Mount St. Mary’s Hospital for seven years and from contacts within the Church she continues to visit hospital shut-ins.

Reverend Osita Oluigbo as-signed Marge five people in need of care. One of these people is a special lady with cerebral palsy who has depended on Marge for 10 years. Marge assists her with her daily needs: feeding, banking and outings to restaurants.

Marge tells of an occasion several years ago when the minister of a church found a gentleman sleeping in his car. The church gave him food and shelter and then helped him find work. He became a fixture in their soup kitchen for many years. He was a wonderful friend to all who had helped him.

Marge has a wonderful, quiet demeanour about her. One can easily see why people would warm to her. She is a true humanitarian!

A message from the president

Honourary Parade Marshall: Marge Nelson

You’re in for a fantastic program of fun and exciting

events in this year’s Sidney Days. This is our 30th An-niversary Year for Penin-sula Celebrations Society.

On Sunday, June 30 from 5 to 6:30 p.m., celebrations will kick of with the Com-munity Dinner organized and hosted by the Town of Sidney.

The dinner will be held on the patio of the Beacon Pavillion Park at the foot of Beacon Avenue.

We will have the Oath of Allegiance, followed by O Canada, the Mayor’s speech and a piece of cake.

There will be pre-

fireworks entertainment provided by Phil Turpin’s popular band, The Island-ers — performing for the first time at the Beacon Park Pavilion on the water-front.

After that, the Fireworks Extravaganza begins.

The next day, Monday,

July 1, Canada Day gets under way a little earlier — with events kicking off at 9 a.m. with the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast and family-friendly events run-ning all day long.

Wow! It’s more than 12 continuous hours of fun and celebration.

I would like to person-ally thank all our sponsors who over the years have supported us and one in particular is Thrifty Foods. This company has given us a large sum of money and supported our Canada Day and Sparkles parade for 10 years.

We are sorry to lose them but want to thank them

sincerely as these types of events would not happen in our community if we did not have large support from many companies and mu-nicipalities, like the Town of Sidney.

Everyone loves the community feeling in this district and supporting the sponsors that come on board to keep fun events.

Please remember them when we show you the list and let’s keep recogniz-ing and appreciating their generosity.

So let’s go out and party, enjoy!

Celebrate Canada’s birthday at this year’s Sidney Days and watch the spectacular fireworks set to music!

This free event takes place on the Sidney waterfront and is best viewed between Port Sidney and Tulista Park.

A regular band at Mary’s Bleue Moon restaurant nearly every Thursday night, Old Black Rum will go for a small change of venue on Canada Day.

On July 1 from noon to 4 p.m., the local East coast, Celtic and Folk Bluegrass-inspired band plays in Sidney’s Iroquois Park.

Organized by the Peninsula Celebrations Society for the 30th consecutive year, the parade features live music, marching bands, colourful floats, live animals and much more. Come out to see your friends and neighbours march in the parade.

Don’t forget to bring your camera. The fun starts at 11 a.m. with the

The parade route heads east, then down Second Street, all the way to Ocean Avenue. There’s a special viewing area for folks in wheelchairs at the corner of Fifth and Beacon.

As always, taking in the parade is free.

But if you want to make a valuable contribution, help the Sidney Lions Food Bank by donating non-perishable food items or making a cash donation. Volunteers from the Peninsula Mission Community Church dressed in red food bank T-shirts will be accepting donations along the parade route.

Slegg lumber has been providing some of the biggest laughs and best entertainment at Sidney Days for the past 28 years.

Watch brave “sailors” paddle their plywood crafts around the buoys off Glass Beach, vying for the title of winner of the Slegg Lumber Build-a-Quick-Boat contest: or failing that, come home with the trophy for first to sink.

Boats are built of plywood, duct tape and Styrofoam, no power or air tools are allowed, and contestants must even build their own paddles.

Make sure you check out the 28th annual Slegg Lumber Build-a-Quick-Boat contest on the Sidney waterfront on July 1. Building starts right after the parade and runs to 4 p.m. The race starts at 4:30, all under the watchful eye of the Saanich Peninsula Coast Guard Auxiliary. The first place team takes home $100 each, second $75 each, third $50 each and trophies are awarded for first to sink, crowd pleaser and best design. Make your way to the beach early to get a great spot to watch all the thrills, spills and action of this Sidney Days favourite.

Feeling lucky? Try your hand at the Sidney Rotary Club’s Games of Chance. Kids may need to let off a little steam. Set them free at the Panorama Recreation

The Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre will have their mascot, stick on tattoos and an education station for the kids. All this, some clowning around, a roving magician — and who knows what other special guests may drop in?

Help us make the rest easy.the rest easy.

No one wants to see a friend or loved

one undergo surgery, but sometimes it

is necessary. When it is, it’s reassuring

to know that our hospital has the most

up-to-date facilities and equipment.

Now that the operating rooms are fully

operational, the need for new pre-

and post operative areas has become

acute. More privacy, more space,

a patient washroom, plus a new

endoscopy suite will help to reduce

the stress of these diffi cult times

for patients and families.

Saanich Peninsula Hospital does

a wide variety of surgeries, and

it’s a fast-paced environment.

Effi ciency counts and so does

compassionate care.
