Hwy. at Crofton cutoff 8 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2004 OPINION GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD Risky business These days it seems few activities are not considered risky. Between local government concerns about being sued by a person injured in a park and the provincial government’s worry that a steak meal could prove unsafe, we are being bom- barded by attempts to protect us from potential danger. In one case the worries have validity, but not in the other. Regional governments do have a responsibility to not lay themselves and the citizenry they represent open to expensive lawsuits — ridiculous or otherwise. And while small commu- nity groups should not be saddled with a $150 insurance bill for 30 minutes of low-risk activity in a public park, insisting on some form of hopefully more affordable insurance is not unreasonable. For Salt Spring this appears to be happening through the efforts of the Capital Regional District. But in contrast, proposed provincial regulations that would force government inspection of all farm animals before and after slaughter are simply unworkable for Gulf Islands farm- ers. Once again, geography rules, along with the reality of rural agricultural practices. No formal slaughtering facilities currently exist on the islands, which means all animals would have to be shipped off-island, causing significant additional expense. As well, proposed regulations could maim farm gate sales, which are critical for local farmers’ income. Affected farmers have pointed out the Food Safety Act per- mits exceptions to regulations, and that option should be explored. If the new inspection rules must go ahead — and even that is debatable since it’s clear governments have gone mad over even a hint of mad cow disease — Gulf Islands farmers should be exempted. Islanders are a brave lot and don’t need 100 per cent protec- tion around the dinner table, after they’ve come home from the park. Salt Spring must face potential water woes
