2011 Metchosin Farm Directory Pull-Out Guide December 2011 • Metchosin Muse 9 2011 METCHOSIN FARM DIRECTORY PULL-OUT GUIDE INTRODUCTION BY JIM MACPHEERSON, CHAIR, METCHOSIN AGRICULTURAL SELECT COMMITTEE Welcome to the Second Annual Metchosin Farm Directory. The Muse printed its first Metchosin Farm Directory in 2010. Reader response to the Directory was extraordinary. Under the continuing leadership of Andy MacKinnon, this second issue includes twenty farm listings - new ones as well as many of those noted in the last Directory. Thanks to the farmers for their contributions, and to Bert Harrison, Metchosin School Museum Society, for the photo of Glenrosa.

If you want a particular breed you must preorder by mid- January, when hatchery orders are placed. We sell all kinds of eggs: chicken, duck, guinea fowl, peacock, goose, as available from our birds. My birds are fed a vegetarian diet and are out of their house and yard, free ranging over my meadow, woods and gardens, eating seeds, weeds, bugs and worms, interacting with me, my dog and cats and, sometimes, raccoons, owls and eagles. Pasture eating is why my chickens’ egg yolks are deep yellow and have a true “egg” flavour. Eggs are available at the Metchosin Farmers Market from May through October, as well as from the Farm Market at Tom Henry’s Stillmeadow Farm. This was a great year at the Metchosin Farmers Market: lots of new and old farmers and other vendors. Thank you all for coming out to support your neighbours who pro- vide local products for you.

  • Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia
    Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia by Michael Ryan and George W. Douglas Wildlife Bulletin No. B-91 March 1999 British Columbia, Canada’s most westerly province, has a bounty of biological diversity. British Columbia’s snowclad peaks, rain-drenched forests, arid grasslands, all sizes of rivers, lakes, and wetlands, and a long and rugged coast provide habitats for more species of living organisms than are found anywhere else in Canada. However, this very diversity means that there is much to be discovered about these organisms — their distribution, abundance, habitat requirements, and interrelationships with their environment. Increasing our knowledge of this biodiversity will help us with the complex task of sustainably managing our land and waters. In 1992, the Provincial Government initiated a co-operative biodiversity research program with funding from the Corporate Resource Inventory Initia- tive, the British Columbia Ministries of Forests (Research Branch), Environment, Lands, and Parks (Wildlife and Habitat Protection Branches), and Tourism and Culture (Royal B.C. Museum); and the Forest Resource Develop- ment Agreement (FRDA II). In 1996, funding from Forest Renewal BC (FRBC) was received for a biodiversity research extension proposal. One goal of the original research program, and more recently the FRBC extension project, is to extend information to scientists, resource managers, and the public through biodiversity publications. These publications are intended to increase awareness and understanding of biodiversity, promote the concepts and importance of conserving biodiversity, and communicate provincial government initiatives related to biodiversity. We hope that they will be used as tools for the conservation of British Columbia’s rich, living legacy.

SUMMARY The applicant, Pacific Centre Family Services Association (PCFSA), is preparing to subdivide 324 Goldstream Avenue in order to support the development of an affordable housing complex with 104 units by the Greater Victoria Housing Society (GVHS). Accordingly, an application for a zoning text amendment for the property located at 324 Goldstream Avenue has been requested to delete the requirement for Community Amenity Contributions (CACs), include Attached Housing to the list of permitted uses, remove the commercial requirement, and minor administrative changes. Further to this, GVHS is seeking relaxations to the front yard setback, to the side yard setback, and to delete the requirement for sloped roofs. GVHS is also requesting financial support from the City of Colwood with regard to affordable housing; the request for financial support beyond what is available within the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund may be challenging given Colwood's existing tax base. This application is being presented to the Committee for a recommendation to Council concerning a rezoning text amendment and a development variance permit application. 2.
