The Review

The Central Saanich Lawn
Bowling Club is sporting a new
and improved look these days.

The change is not in the tradi-
tional white uniforms, but the
facility itself.

The club officially opened its
newly renovated clubhouse April
26, much to the delight of the more
than 100 members who attended
the season opening ceremony.

With almost 900 square feet of -

additional room, the club will now
be able to host larger functions

and tournaments, said the club’s
project chairman, Bill Young.

He said the job could never have
been done without the assistance
of Camosun College, which pro-
vided the labor.

Industrial and technical trade
students used the clubhouse as a
classroom, as they were lectured in
the old part of the building in the
morning and then applied their
skills to the project in the after-
noon.

“That was great help,” said
Young. “I never heard a word of
complaint from any of them. They

Boys’ and Girls’ Club inexpensive

Central Saanich’s support for
the Boys and Girls Club program
is a lot cheaper than an ice rink,
Ald. Clarence Bolt observed at an
recent committee meeting.

Bolt’s comment followed a
report by Rob Martin on the pro-
gram. The club meets in a munici-
pally-leased house on Mt. Newton
Crossroad.

Martin said an estimated 25
children attend the club program
each weekday. Children from Saa-
nichton Elementary participate in
the after-school programs and
transportation is provided for chil-
dren from Brentwood Elementary
to attend on Monday and Wednes-
day afternoons.

An evening program for older
children and teens is held from
Monday to Friday.

Special events include a day
camp over the Christmas holidays,
a celebrity floor hockey tourna-
ment to raise money for the Vari-
ety Club in February and a ski trip
to Mt. Washington for teens over
the spring break.

Martin said teenagers raised
over $1,000 to defray the costs of
the trip. During one fund-raising
event, a wake-a-thon, the young
people cleaned up the club while
attempting to stay awake all night.

Martin estimated 10 of the
youngsters attending the club have

behavioral problems. Of those, two
have now developed enough lead-
ership potential to be recom-
mended for leadership camps,
Martin said.

In cooperation with the munici-
pal parks and recreation depart-
ment, Martin said the club hopes
to offer a summer program early in
the morning and later in the even-
ing, for children who require
supervised activities beyond the 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. parks’ programs.

Costs are kept low and older
children often raise the member-
ship fees themselves, Martin said.

“All we’re hoping to do is break
even with our staff costs,” he
added.

There are 93 children registered
as members and about 150 young
people regularly using the club,
Martin said. The club also oper-
ates an after-school program in
Sidney.

Council members thanked Mar-
tin for his presentation.

He said the project was financed
by Go B.C., Central Saanich
municipality and the club, with
each party contributing for one-
third of the cost.
