Stelly’s students hope to touch lives through new volunteer effort at Woodwynn Farms

Erin CardoneNews staff

Sunlight streamed through the windows of the 1940s barn as seven students listened to tales of how lives can so easily fall apart.

Seven Grade 11 students from Stelly’s secondary school’s global perspectives class heard about how, in an instant, a woman’s life deteriorated to drug use and homelessness when she lost her entire family in a car crash.

The students came to Woodwynn Farms on Tues-day, May 8 to experience farming and learn more about homelessness. It was the first day of a volunteer-ing program that will last until the end of this school year and likely into the next.

“Most of us took the global perspectives class

because we wanted to make a difference,” said Lexy Young.

The students will work with the several tonnes of hay the farm sells, as well as helping repair the 70-year-old barns on the property so Woodwynn can convert them into other uses, such as a market.

On the farm, they’ll work with Ed, a formerly home-less man who has been at Woodwynn since the winter. (Ed is a pseudonym to protect the man’s identity.) And with plans to erect a tent city on the property to house more people from the streets, the students might hear more stories about homelessness first hand.

“Woodwynn is such a good fit for our program,” said global perspectives teacher Elena Beristain. “The stu-dents who come through our program are very moti-vated and more in tune with the world.”

Recently, the global perspectives class bought land in Nepal and Grade 12 students went there to build a shelter for women who were victims of abuse or other violations. The Grade 11 students will likely visit the shelter next year.

“It’s so great that right in our community we have a great project that is so similar [to the one in Nepal],”

Beristain said.In addition to volunteering, the global perspectives

program awarded Woodwynn’s Creating Homefulness Society with a $1,000 grant. The Grade 12 students applied for a Vital Youth grant through the Victoria Foundation, which gave the class $2,500 to put back into the community. They also gave $1,000 the Victoria Riding Association for the Disabled, located in Central Saanich, and $500 to the Peninsula Streams Society.

“It gives [the students] some empowerment to choose where changes happen in their community,” Beristain said.

The Grade 11 students will likely return to the farm every Tuesday to help out and learn about farming and homelessness in the same setting.

Police warn of business break-ins in Central Saanich

Central Saanich Police Service is investigating a break and enter attempt to a business in Brentwood Bay last Friday.

Around 2:40 a.m. on May 4, police responded to an alarm at a business in the 7000 block of West Saanich Road. Officers saw evidence of a break and enter attempt, however the break-in was not successful.

Central Saanich Police Service also investigated a similar incident to a busi-ness on Keating X Road last month. In that case, the culprits gained access.

Police ask that the public report any suspicious activity or suspicious sounds, including slow driving vehicles, sensor lights turning on, people peering into windows or looking out for police, breaking glass, breaking wood or pry-ing metal.

For crime prevention information, contact the Central Saanich police community services at 250-652-4441.

Peninsula Baha’i community shows film to educate others about struggles abroad

Erin CardoneNews staff

A local group is trying to bring attention to human rights injustices faced by their kin in Iran.

“No [Baha’i] is allowed to go to university unless they deny their faith,” said Karen Lenz, a Baha’i from North Saanich.

She adds Baha’i cemeteries have been dese-crated in Iran.

Next week, Lenz and other Peninsula Baha’i will show Education Under Fire, a documentary film about the situation faced by Baha’is in Iran.

“I don’t think it’s got much attention, [but] it’s a widespread abuse of human rights,” said fellow Baha’i Connor MacLeod of Brentwood Bay. “The film will show or expose the actual situation and hopefully grant more attention.”

MacLeod, who studies at the University of Victo-ria, said it’s hard to fathom a similar situation here in Canada. If his rights to education were denied, he would leave the country, he said, and raise

international awareness of the violations.“When you do good deeds in the world, it sends

out an energy … and I think it will help [the Baha’i in Iran] in their strength to hold on a little bit lon-ger,” Lenz said. “I see the difference school has made for my kids. Everyone should have that.”

Education Under Fire shows at 7:30 p.m. in room 101 of the Mary Winspear Centre on Wednesday, May 16. Admission is free and the film is suit-able for all ages. For more information, email [email protected].

OUR VIEW

Boxing was once explained to me by a former mixed martial arts promoter as two guys punching each other into varying stages of a concussion. MMA, he said, at least gives its fighters a chance to tap out.

Granted MMA has its downsides too, but arguing for one or the other makes no difference. The human will to fight is innate, and to deny the bloodsport community its right to stage live events is uncivil.

And so Ida Chong has opened the door to the octagonal cage with Bill 50.

The minister of community, sport and cultural development was met with little opposition when she stepped into the legislative octagon on Monday and got the bill’s first reading approved.

“Since boxing, kickboxing and mixed martial arts are popular and are taking place, it makes sense to be proactive,” Chong said.

It won’t happen right away, but by the end of 2012 the province will be a lot closer to establishing a provincewide athletic commission to oversee the professional versions of the sweet sciences – boxing, kickboxing and MMA.

A centralized provincial commission will replace those local government commissions which have stepped up to regulate fights. And those municipalities unwilling

to allow fighting retain that choice.For Victoria’s Darren Owen,

Monday marked a massive turn of events. After years of being refused the use of local venues for MMA, he was invited to witness the bill’s reading by Chong.

Owen and Jason Heit are proprietors of the Armageddon Fighting Championship, which recently merged with two outfits from Alberta to become the Aggression Fighting Championship.

The two spent years lobbying local

municipalities to get their MMA organization off the ground. Though in the end it wasn’t a lack of municipal regulations around MMA that stopped the duo from putting on an event. It was the lack of a venue.

They finally staged the first event in 2009 at Bear Mountain Arena. An athletic commission was started using nearly the same standards as Nevada and New Jersey, the front and back yards of MMA.

And so it’s assumed little will change for the AFC when B.C. demands all professional MMA events to abide by a set of guidelines.

“For the AFC, our athletic commissioner was pretty strict. However, other [smaller] promotions will drastically change, it will help clean up the sport,” Owen said.

Aside from added safety

measures and better controls over events that do run, the biggest benefit of having an athletic commission equipped for MMA is the return of the Ultimate Fighting Championship to Rogers Arena.

It’s the horse upon which Bill 50 rides. Where the UFC goes, a hailstorm of money trails closely behind.

But the UFC, when it returns, will only run so many shows in Vancouver. It means the big city is open for business.

The AFC wants in, and so will a lot of people.

“Everybody’s going to want to be the next Dana White,” Owen said. “I’m really hoping they are picky about who they give promoter’s licences to.”

Not that Owen is inviting competition, but after giving so many years of his life to the controversial sport, he at least wants to see others put forth a professional product that won’t draw negative press.

He’s also worried about the lack of regulations on the amateur events, which tend to be a lot smaller, right down to the Friday night smokers which aren’t even mentioned on Facebook.

“[Bill 50] is going to need some time. So I hope it plans on a regulatory body to oversee amateur cards, because right now they aren’t.”

Travis Paterson is the regional sports reporter for Black Press on the South Island.

B.C.’s Bill 50 packs a punch

‘Ida Chong has opened the door to the octagonal cage with Bill 50.’

Timing is right for transit study

The move by the Greater Victoria Transit Commission to study five high-traffic volume sections over the next year, with an eye to making them more efficient, is good news for transportation in the Capital region.

The $250,000 study is the kind of expense and planning activity we expect the transit commission to engage in as a way to improve

its product and reduce delays for passengers.

Taking action on the final recommendations, in co-operation with

municipal and provincial governments, will go a long way toward helping B.C. Transit with another of its constant struggles.

That challenge? Convincing more of the thousands of people who still drive to and from work daily that the perceived or real inconvenience of not having their car readily available outweighs the pain of creeping along in traffic twice a day. That, of course, also assumes that the cost of taking transit is comparable or even less than driving.

For those who oversee and plan transit in the Capital region, that objective must be reached to a significant degree before any work begins on building a light-rail transit system.

Like the Kevin Costner character in the movie Field of Dreams, who was told by baseball spirits to “build it and they will come,” the transit commission is banking on the notion that people will leave their cars at home in far greater numbers once LRT is in place.

Even when (or if) LRT comes to Greater Victoria, it’s not as if the bus system will play second fiddle to rail.

In fact, the bus system will be more important than ever as the public finds new ways to connect with LRT.

Looking for ways to make the current system more efficient and user-friendly just makes sense as a way to ramp up its capacity – the ability to move more passengers in the same amount of time or less – and overall ridership in the years leading up to the addition of LRT to the regional transit system.

Find efficiencies now, before work ramps up on LRT

Market profits could go in winning bidder’s pocket

Re: Market proposals due soon (News, May 4)It seems to me that the position of the town

requesting proposals for the summer market has failed to see the big picture.

Specifically, the Sidney Business Association has been running the market successfully for over 12 years and has taken the proceeds from the running of the market and put it into the promotion of our community. As we are a not-for-profit organization, we are concerned with enhancing and promoting our town for the businesses, residents and people who do business in Sidney.

If the town is not careful, they could issue an RFP to a private enterprise who has no interest in promoting Sidney from the proceeds of running the market, but rather promoting their own private business interests.

Ross Macfarlanevice-president, Sidney Business Association

Sister cities partnerships costly endeavours – except one

In Friday’s Peninsula News Review was an announcement that Sidney’s sister city, Niimi Japan requires two assistant English language teachers. Really, this has little to do with sister cities. For years, Japan has asked for English assistance in their schools.

So far as sister cities are concerned, except for Anacortes, they are a drain on taxpayers’ pocketbooks. I remember our past mayor in the Town Talk magazine. He stated that a visit to Niimi and the town’s planned trip of councillors and staff would cost nothing to taxpayers. What he failed to say was the reciprocating visit by the Japanese delegation would cost taxpayers a bundle.

Sister cities are a huge burden on taxpayers, and except for Anacortes, should be eliminated.

Offending vehicle’s owner as responsible as offending driver

Re: Civil forfeiture muddies message (Our View, May 4)

On the contrary, I believe it sends a very clear message. Time after time, we hear of repeat offenders driving without a licence. They cannot all have stolen the vehicle. Someone has granted them access to a vehicle. That someone is just as responsible and most certainly deserves forfeiture of said vehicle, a substantial fine and cancellation of their own licence. I believe it is known as aiding and abetting.

The goal is not to educate those who have proven themselves incapable of learning and who are completely uncaring about the well-being of their fellow citizens.

The goal is to get them off and keep them off our roads.

Credit for steady North Saanich tax rate goes to previous council

Re: Councillor refutes North Saanich budget criticism (Letters, May 2)

Coun. Dunstan Browne implies he and two other councillors can claim full credit for a budget with no increase to the average household over 2011 levels.

The present North Saanich council has been in office for only a few months, since December 2011.

I would point out that it has benefited from the solid fiscal policies put in place by the previous council allowing for a zero tax increase this year. It has also benefited from work done by that council in putting in place talented staff members

able to effect the necessary groundwork for policies.

In the 2008 election, Mayor Alice Finall and the other council members ran on a platform of fiscal responsibility and careful budget planning. That council carried through on its promises by establishing expenditure caps on property tax increases, preparing an inventory of district service infrastructure in accordance with provincial directives, and establishing appropriate maintenance and replacement reserves for these essential services.

It seems very logical to me to point out that the fiscal principles necessary for the property tax direction this year is due to a foundation laid by the good governance of the previous council.

However, the mayor and councillors Celia Stock and Elsie McMurphy quite properly have alerted residents that some of the budget cuts required by the majority of the present council are not sustainable going forward.

In my opinion, North Saanich residents will not be deceived by any councillor who takes credit where credit is not due.

‘We need more carbon dioxide to stimulate more crop growth’

Re: Send dirty fuel to history’s coal bin, (Comment, March 23)

In condemning coal as a dirty fuel, David Suzuki is stuck in previous times, because we have not had child labour in coal mines for over a century.

Today, when we consider using coal, we must consider the three factors that determine the benefit or hazard from the coal.

First, hundreds of experiments show that as carbon dioxide in the air increases, plants grow bigger and faster; and the earth gets greener.

Carbon dioxide is the great aerial fertilizer that also makes plants more drought resistant. With world populations expanding to seven billion people and 900 million of them suffering from chronic food shortage, we need more carbon dioxide to stimulate more crop growth and food production world-wide.

For subsistence farmers in Africa and south-east Asia, carbon dioxide is the only fertilizer they can get.

Because coal generates more carbon dioxide than any other fuel, it is the greenest of them all.

Second, while we have literally hundreds of experiments to show how more carbon dioxide makes green plants produce more, we have not a single experiment nor any evidence whatsoever that carbon dioxide causes significant global warming.

Third, we now know for sure, that carbon dioxide does not cause significant global warming. Measurements of global temperature by satellites, and confirmed by weather balloons, have shown there has been no global warming over the past 10 years.

Use electricity made by coal and help some poor farmer feed his family. Don’t forget, our farmers and gardeners benefit as well.

Ride to Live benefits from hot dog, hamburger sales

Folks warmed up for the Ride to Live with a bar-becue and drive-in last Friday night.

On May 4, a lot full of fancy cars and bellies full of burgers raised $5,060 for the Ride to Live.

“What a great success the R n R Diner barbecue drive-in fundraiser was last Friday night,” said Luc Beauvais, organizer of the Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live. “It was well organized and lots of fun. We owe a huge thank you to Greg Hibbert, Bernice Rimmer and Rick, owners of the R n R.”

Every Friday night starting at 6 p.m. is hotdog and hamburger night at the diner, but R n R Diner on East Saanich Road hopes to make the fund-raiser an annual event.

“Bernice Rimmer is a great supporter of the ride, well known and liked in the community,” Beauvais said. “I’m sure her pledge form will continue to grow until ride day coming up on June 3.”

THE ARTS

Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

Passion and Performance will bring a little sen-suality to Sidney with its spring showcase at the Mary Winspear Centre.

“It’s adults dancing for adults,” said Rachel Paish, owner of Victoria dance studio Passion and Performance. “It’s not going to offend people … it’s just a big compilation of fun sassy stuff. It’s definitely not appropriate for children, but it’s a great, great night for adults.”

Dances will range from performances by well-known performer Rosie Bits to a beginner chair dance class. “We have over 20 different types of classes and our showcase is all types and levels of dancers,” Paish said.

The Pop Culture class will also perform.“You learn the dances from iconic music vid-

eos,” Paish explained. “This session is going to be a battle between the N’Sync class and the Britney Spears class.”

One of the largest departments at the studio is women’s competitive dance made up of adults who spent their youth dedicated to an art form and didn’t pursue it as a career. “You grow up with a hobby and it’s like an identity,” Paish said. “It’s a skill you’ve developed for at least a decade

and then you’re expected to graduate high school and just drop it. … The idea is you don’t have to get rid of that hobby, it’s like rec league hockey.”

The show and the music are uncensored and designed for an adult audience.

“There’s going to be breasts on stage,” Paish said. “It’s not overtly offensive, but we don’t take the swear words out of our lyrics. … We don’t censor movement, we don’t sensor our music, we dance as adults.”

The show will be held Thursday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Mary Winspear Centre. Get tickets online at www.marywinspear.ca.

There is in Greater Victoria a general consensus that there exists a severe shortage of affordable housing. The problem is bound to grow as developers find it economically impossible to develop purpose-built rental properties. Our land values are simply too high to allow economic rents to be achieved on new rental projects.

It is no secret that a simple, low-cost key to solving the

problem is through the increased availability of secondary suites. Numerous homeowners would be delighted to cover $150,000 or more of their mortgage by creating a legal suite to generate extra revenue. Of financial necessity, many already have rental suites, without regard to restrictive bylaws.

Across the Capital region, municipalities are gradually coming to grips with the

inevitability and benefit of legalizing secondary suites. Victoria is the most progressive – offering a grant of up to $5,000, toward 25 per cent of the cost of construction of a new suite.

Other municipalities are much more tentative in encouraging the evolution of legal secondary suites, restricting them to specific areas, often limiting them to the primary residence, and

not allowing carriage homes to be built. The current hodge-podge of regulations is not only confusing and limiting, but often so frustrating to owners that existing bylaws are simply ignored by many.

Municipal administrators admit that in many areas of Greater Victoria almost every street contains homes with secondary suites, many of them illegal.

Municipalities generally have a

practice of not enforcing their bylaw when investigating an illegal-suite complaint. If safety is not a factor, they often take no action other than to make a notation on the property’s title that it contains an illegal suite. If a bylaw cannot be enforced, surely it should be amended.

Due to a lack of affordable housing on the Peninsula, many businesses experience difficulty attracting employees.

Although Sidney and Central Saanich have developed reasonably progressive policies, more needs to be done. North Saanich, which boasts the largest lot sizes and highest home values on the Peninsula, is still extremely restrictive.

If a property has a large enough lot size or backs onto an alleyway, what could be wrong with permitting the homeowner to build an

attractive 600 square foot carriage house, or a new suite above an oversized garage?

Councils need to apply more energy and bring faster solutions to this issue, which also disguises as a major opportunity. If they do so, not only will they begin to solve the home affordability problem, both for the tenant and the cash-strapped homeowner, but also, they will reduce the existing underground economy in illegal suites, and ensure the safety of suites for their resident tenants. At the same time, they will enhance the municipality’s revenues. Why is this not a greater priority on the Peninsula, and throughout Greater Victoria?

A retired corporate executive, enjoying post-retirement as a financial consultant, Peter Dolezal is the author of three books. His most recent, The Smart Canadian Wealth-Builder, is now available at Tanner’s Books, and in other bookstores.

The B.C. government is attempting to restore limits on third-party election spend-ing that were struck down by a judge before the 2009 vote.

Attorney General Shirley Bond introduced amendments that would put limits on spend-ing by unions, business groups and other non-party advertisers in the 40 days before the official start of an election campaign.

A previous 60-day limit was challenged by seven public sec-tor unions, led by the B.C. Teach-ers’ Federation, and rejected by a B.C. Supreme Court judge as an unjustified restriction on free-dom of speech.

Premier Christy Clark said some spending limit on the pre-campaign period is justi-fied, since the province went to scheduled elections in 2005.

Current rules restrict party and non-party spending during a formal 28-day election cam-

paign, but contain no limits on spending before that period.

The government intends to submit the proposed 40-day restriction to the B.C. Supreme Court before it takes effect. If a judge approves, the new restric-tions would apply for the elec-tion set for May of 2013.

NDP justice critic Leonard Krog said the latest effort will likely be challenged again and rejected again. If the B.C. Lib-erals want to reform election spending, they should ban cor-

porate and union donations to political parties as the NDP and B.C. Conservative parties have advocated, Krog said.

In 2008, the B.C. Liberal gov-ernment passed amendments to the B.C. Elections Act limiting spending by non-party advocacy groups to no more than $150,000 in the 60 days before the offi-cial 28-day election campaign. Registered political parties were restricted to spending $2.2 mil-lion during that [email protected]

Liberals re-attempt election gag

Election signs from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and other unions were deployed during the 2005 election campaign.

MLA John van Dongen has applied to the B.C. Supreme Court to participate in the Auditor Gen-eral’s probe into paying legal fees for government aides convicted of breach of trust in the sale of B.C. Rail operations.

Van Dongen cited the decision to pay $6 million to lawyers for Dave Basi and Bobby Virk when he quit the B.C. Liberal Party in March and joined the B.C. Conservatives. In his submission to the court, he said he has a “distinct perspective” on the issue, where the government departed from

its policy of recovering costs from government employees if they are convicted of a crime.

“The abrupt and surprising end to the prosecu-tion with the guilty pleas and sentencing on Oct. 18, 2010, was followed immediately by the rev-elation of the unprecedented legal fees indemnity waiver, contrary to established policy, provoking significant public controversy,” van Dongen wrote in an affidavit.

“To the best of my knowledge, this was also the first case in British Columbia where an indemnity of this nature was given to persons charged with serious criminal offences such as bribery or cor-ruption.”

Van Dongen wants in on B.C. Rail case

As with many of my colleagues, I have witnessed the trauma and carnage that impaired driving brings to families and communities.

I can’t count how many fatal collisions I have attended, many of those having been caused by impaired driving. The things nobody should have to witness I have seen. The things nobody should have to do, I have had to do.

I have investigated two infant fatalities within six months of each other, both caused by impaired driving. One mother was convinced that she was responsible for her daughter’s death because she had improperly installed the infant car seat, rather than placing the blame where it really belonged which was with the impaired driver that caused the accident in the first place.

Telling another mother that both her teenaged twin girls

were involved in a crash caused by impaired driving and giving

the heartbreaking news that one lived and the other had died was one of the most difficult things I have had to do as a police officer.

This is the reality of impaired driving. It takes so many precious loved ones from us, yet people continue to drink and drive every day. I applaud the efforts of everyone that is

attempting to take a stand against impaired driving, from legislators, parents and victim groups, to the officers on the street right down to the person that witnesses these crimes.

Recently, officers across British Columbia were honoured for each removing more than 12 impaired drivers off of our roadways. They were chosen to be part of Alexa’s Team recognized for their contributions in keeping our streets safe. Being part of

Alexa’s team is a way individual officers are recognized for their work in remembrance of Alexa Middelaer who was killed by an impaired driver. In 2011 Alexa’s Team members in British Columbia removed 12,923 impaired drivers from our roads. These 355 officers have truly done something to be proud of and this number is outstanding, considering how many lives were potentially saved.

Rest assured that impaired driving is a priority for us at the Sidney North Saanich, detachment and remains a policing priority in British Columbia. All of our officers work hard to apprehend impaired drivers and get them off of our roads. In speaking for all of our officers, we want to try our best to ensure that the trauma that was brought to the Middelaer family and to so many others, doesn’t come knocking on your door as well.

Cpl. Chris Swain is a supervisor and the media liaison officer for Sidney North Saanich RCMP.

No lasting impact from sewage truck spill on Trans-Canada

You might say stuff happens.The Ministry of Environment said there was

no significant environmental impact from roughly 1,500 litres of sewage that spilled when a truck crashed on the Trans Canada Highway on May 2.

The ministry’s assessment is based on “the loca-tion, containment and cleanup activities.”

Craigflower Creek is about one kilometre from the crash site and was not affected. The closest body of water, Thetis Lake, is uphill from the crash site and half a kilometre away and had no contact with the spill.

The truck was carrying 5,400 litres of sewage when the driver lost control just past the Colwood exit. Fire crews and environmental contractors led the cleanup at the time of the incident. All spilled sewage has now been cleaned up.

This septic tanker crashed and rolled across the Trans-Canada Highway Wednesday, May 2. The driver escaped with minor injuries.

Have you ever felt an uncomfortable silence when someone starts getting too personal about money? Why is that? I fi nd it odd that people share their most intimate details with friends and strangers on Facebook, yet completely clam up when the subject of money comes up.

Like it or not, money is what makes our society click. Canadians enjoy one of the highest qualities of life in the world, and money is a big part of the reason why.

My name is Darren Weeks and I am one of

the fortunate few who LOVES to talk about

money. More specifi cally, I love to talk about the fundamentals that help people create and protect their wealth.

Real independence comes when you learn how to make money work for you. Money knowledge needs to be at your side in all situations... like a trusted friend who does nice things for you on a regular basis.

My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we fi nished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny offi ce, to over 100 employees and 12 offi ces. More than 350,000 Canadians have now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million.

On top of providing FREE fi nancial education to all Canadians, my company is

able to off er better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies.

My greatest pride in all of this?

Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding and thriving in the current economy.

Rob Chaulk came to one of my events in the Spring of 2008. He grew up in a family with a poor dad, and a rich dad (his uncle). So Rob had been given a good start on his money education. But it wasn’t enough.

Rob was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He held careers in the energy and industrial sector. He dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business. When Rob read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, he took it seriously and within 30 days he bought his fi rst rental property. He was hooked. He put together a plan for 10 properties in 10 years... his key to retirement. Right around this same time he had lunch with his rich dad (his multi-millionaire uncle).

Not exactly an easy guy to talk to, his uncle “Frank” was self-made and not easy to approach about money. But Rob did

approach him - and Frank told him Money is ALL about leverage.

Frank then went on and shared with Rob

one of the greatest lessons he had ever

learned.

When your money makes more money for you than your job does... then you are well on your way to fi nancial freedom. If you make $20 an hour at your job - true fi nancial independence begins when the money you invest is making you $25 an hour, without you having to do anything more. Frank showed him how to turn his rental property into 10 properties in just 12 months.

Rob Met Darren

Rob then came to a Get Rich in Canada event, hosted by myself... and was able to create a $4 million dollar property

portfolio in just 24 months.

As Rob says “Money is just the scorecard. When you understand the rules of the game - and how the game works - the money will fi nd you! Now it’s my turn to pass on my knowledge and experience.”

While he was building his portfolio of properties, Rob also took his health very seriously. Rob was overweight, had sleep apnea and was sluggish every waking hour.

After dropping over 100 pounds

Rob found a new lifestyle that had been long lost, and a money mindset that continues to help him and his family with all of the retirement and dreams.

Is it your turn to master the

money mindset?

I am proud to share that my system has worked for everyone who aggressively applied it. You could be the one with a large real estate portfolio and a business or two that runs without you.

...Many people are broke, and will stay

that way for the rest of their life.

My company has organized an event coming up in your city and I would like you to join us. There is no cost to attend. My team is here to make sure you get the tools

you need for creating the independence you crave.

Give us 3 hours of your time and we’ll

give you powerful strategies that

are guaranteed to change your life.

Find out how to get out of bad debt and into wise investments.

Discover how anyone, no matter how dire their circumstances, can go from rags to riches in 5 years or less. My students and business partners are prime examples of how you can start with nothing and build a very healthy investment portfolio and business in 5 years or less. The best part? We don’t just show you what to do... you get the formula to go as fast as you like, and can handle. Most seminars share the what – not the how. We show you both with specifi c examples, formulas and resources to get you there on your own pace.

Don’t go it alone! Bring a friend or family

member with you and enjoy the journey to wealth as a team. When you reserve your seat at this event, just mention who you want to bring and we will also give you a CD that sells for $39.95.

Nothing good is ever FREE... right?

Wrong. I know you may be sceptical because we aren’t charging you for this event. Think about this. Rob started off at a free event just like this. He heard about an event just like this put on by my company. He attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. He is now fi nancially independent and able to live life on his own terms.

What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.BCFastTrack.com and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well.

Last? Don’t let anyone discourage you or get in your way. Real independence starts when you learn to ignore all the negative people in your life who don’t want you to succeed. Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action.

If a completely unknown individual can be in the same situation you are and become fi nancially independent in 5 years or less... why can’t you? This is the real deal and I have gone from $0 to $100 million in revenues in just 10 years using these strategies... my students are proof that my techniques work everywhere, for anyone who is willing to take action.

Stop what you are doing right now and get your seat booked. Dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.BCFastTrack.com and reserve your seat.
