Why Douglas and I set the bear thing up in Lions Bay was because what
was happening here was some people were attracting bears with outdoor
freezers, garbage or beehives. They would call in the Conservation
Officers and the bears would be shot. Didn’t sound fair, really.
This had being going down here for years. In the old days here people
would shoot bears out their window, so I guess having a government guy
who knew how to shoot without winging a local was an improvement.
Around the time we started the COS shot 3000 bears in BC one third of
those were cubs. Some people were closing bear traps, and some, like
ourselves were setting up bear groups.

Planting The Highway Median |

If, as Mahatma Ghandi said, “Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress” then I would like to help us along on our journey by strongly disagreeing with Joe Ronsley, Mary Comber Miles and others who support the idea that we should only utilize native plantings in the median on the new highway through Lions Bay.
A stunning feature of our village is, in my opinion, our entrance which has no native plants other than perhaps a dogwood tree or two.
Newer residents may be surprised to know that this was designed and created, under the guidance of a former head gardener from the Butchart Gardens, by a group of volunteers including Louis Peterson and Shirley Stokes many years ago.

Property taxes can’t be avoided…but you may be able to postpone paying them
For some, paying municipal property taxes presents a cash flow hardship
that may result in the unnecessary sale of their property. Others may
just have a better use for the money, whether an investment opportunity
or something more frivolous like a vacation.
Those who qualify under the provisions of the BC Property Tax Deferral
Program may put off paying their property taxes until the death of the
owner(s) or transfer of the title to a new owner (other than a
surviving spouse).

Bears are looking for food. The only reason bears trespass on your
property and cause damage is because they are attracted to the smell of
something edible. To help keep our community safe, every resident
needs to secure their garbage and keep food attractants inaccessible to
bears and other wildlife. Garbage stored in flimsy structures or
carports, diapers or seafood kept in outdoor receptacles, easily
reached bird feeders, ripe fruit in compost or trees, and outdoor pet
food, rodent poisons, fridges and freezers, all attract bears into our neighborhoods.
