Crowd

by George Manning

Protest meetings these days
‘e usually the province of the
jung, but the crowd of nearly
30 gathered at Holy Trinity hali
tained a preponderance of
ray heads.

Their desire to be heard,
swever, and their willingness to
rmly state. their. case; did

it was.a partisan crowd, cer-
linly, with the large majority
idicating opposition to the
roposed Kingswood develop-
1ent, planned for-a 300 acre
arcel of land at the corner of
fest Saanich and Wains Roads.
The meeting had been called by.
forth Saanich. residents John
apham and. Paul. Grieve (a
forth Saanich . Alderman) to
liow concerned citizens to voice

ment, and the approval of a by-
law declaring the parcel a
development area.

In the end, - they
motion to go on -record as
“recommending that North
Saanich Council take no further
action with respect to adoption of
by-law No. 122, to declare 300
acres’ on Wains Road. a
development area under section
702 of the Municipal Act, until
further study and recom-
mendation has been received
from.-the Capital Regional]
District planning department.”

Getting there, they discussed
everything from the availability
of water (estimates ranging from
not enough to.a million gallons a
day),.to. public. access: to” the
estate (described .as.a~ ghetto)

‘and the. amount of ‘money the

developer might make.

It was obvious throughout the
meeting, however, that though
sometimes short of information,
and disagreeing as to detail, most
of those gathered were definite in
their opposition to the entire
scheme.

There were a few proponents;
to be sure, and North Saanich
Alderman Nell Horth — a strong
supporter of the Kingswacd idea
-- was busy tape-recording the
proceedings, although she did not
get involved in the debate.

Brightest. feature. of
meeting was the great
humor that prevailed.

It was pointed out that. the
minimum age. allowed: in - the
development. would: be fifty
years, and thus there would be no
children:

the
good

listener, however, was that ‘'the
method had not. yet been made
clear.”

developers intend the exclusion
of all but residents and visitors —
and the North Saanich fire
department.

to see what’s in there — if there’s
a fire,’was Grieve’s reply.

Reaction from one optimistic

The comment was made that

‘At least our firemen would get

Even when booing down former
Alderman Doug Cook — who
favored the development — the
crowd did it: with good cheer,

Reminiscent of: the - Grange
meetings of old, the gathering
was described best by North
Saanich -Mayor. Trevor. Davis,
who. called it ‘democracy. in
