New restrictions are worked out so community members can make use of the gardens in a safe manner. According to e-mails from the Town, the plan is to be in place until BC Health removes social distancing recommendations. During the April 14 special council meeting, View Royal council decided to keep the gardens closed based on requirements for public health and safety. Letters to council from residents expressed a desire to have the gardens open again, especially as the growing season gets underway. About one month ago, Mayor David Screech wrote a Facebook post in which he said he was “confident that by the time gardening season begins” protocols and policies would be figured out to reopen the gardens. Screech told Black Press Media that he thinks View Royal staff have put “a lot of thought” into how the gardens will be opened. “They were closed out of an abundance of caution at a time when staff were making decisions quickly,” Screech said. “When the dust had settled, staff had the time to plan.” Moving forward, those who have a garden plot will be contacted by a View Royal staff member to arrange a schedule. Once the schedule has been finalized, the Town will move forward with the opening. New guidelines for gardeners include washing hands with soap and water before and after attending the garden; avoiding touching the eyes, nose or mouth; practising physical distancing of two metres at all times; staying home if sick and avoiding those who are. Gardeners can only visit the garden during their allocated time slot and shared tools will not be available. A one-time opportunity to retrieve tools from the tool shed during the first week of opening will be provided. If using the hose, gardeners must wear gloves at all times and not touch any common surfaces with bare hands. Signage will be located around the gardens to remind gardeners about the new measures. www.goldstreamgazette.com Goldstream Gazette Wednesday, May 13, 2020 --- ### Farmers market gets green light Source pages: 11–15 ## Farmers market gets green light Aaron Guillen News Staff The Goldstream Farmers Market has received the go-ahead from the City of Langford for a modified version this summer.

Braden Hutchins Director of Corporate Services --- ### Long-awaited replacement engine rolls into Colwood Source pages: 11–15 ## Long-awaited replacement engine rolls into Colwood Katherine Engqvist News Staff [Image: Colwood Fire Rescue’s new engine with firefighters] A silver lining for Colwood firefighters working around the clock during the COVID-19 pandemic has arrived. Colwood Fire Rescue received a new fire truck last week but it couldn’t be met with the usual fanfare. Traditionally, when a new truck arrives at the hall, all the firefighters in the department gather and push the apparatus into the hall. But with COVID-19 restriction, that wasn’t possible when the truck arrived on May 13. Instead, the department had to modify its tradition and members greeted the new truck in shifts while observing physical distancing. But that didn’t diminish the excitement. “This project was 15 months in the making,” explained Assistant Fire Chief Greg Chow, noting Colwood council approved the purchase in early 2019. “It’s a long-awaited replacement, in the past few years we’ve seen some breakdowns in the truck it’s replacing.” The 2020 Spartan HUB fire engine can pump 1,750 gallons per minute, holds 500 gallons of water, and offers the latest in interior crew protection with a complement of fire rescue tools. It replaces the old Engine 51, a 1995 Spartan Gladiator. Chow noted pumper trucks have a 20-year lifespan with an additional five-year reserve before their ratings are no longer valid. This replacement was required so the department can ensure it meets today’s requirements as well as future needs. The newest addition will also help reduce training hours, noted Chow. All firefighters in the department are trained on the different trucks – how to use them properly and where equipment is stored. Since the layout, controls and other features of this truck are similar to another in the fleet, it will save training hours that can be utilized elsewhere. He expects the new engine will be in service within four weeks once some equipment has been mounted and crews have been fully trained. It joins a fleet that includes Tower 57 (a 2015 Rosenbauer T-Rex 115-foot articulating platform truck), Engine 52 (a 2012 Spartan Metro Star), Rescue 56 (a 2002 Spartan Metro Star), and a 2008 tanker engine. The purchase came in under budget with a price tag of approximately $980,000 before tax. katie@goldstreamgazette.com --- ### City of Langford — NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Source pages: 11–15 ## City of Langford — NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The City of Langford has received an application to amend the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1200 and Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by means of Bylaw Nos. 1887 and 1888.
