Chamber pays tribute to Black Press founder

Greater Victoria entrepre-neurs, dignitaries and others filled the ballroom at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa last week to enjoy a wonder-ful dinner, hear an award-win-ning media entrepreneur tell his story, and round off the night with an intimate performance by tenor Ken Lavigne.

Dinner with David Black, a May 19 fundraiser for the West Shore Chamber of Commerce co-hosted by the Goldstream News Gazette, saw the Black Press founder offer his take on the media business and the success his company has seen

since he bought his first news-paper, the Williams Lake Tri-bune, nearly 40 years ago.

Black, whose focus has shifted of late from media, also capti-vated the crowd with an update on his plan to build an oil refin-ery on the Northern B.C. coast, as a way of preventing tankers from transporting diluted bitu-men from the Alberta oil sands through coastal B.C. waters.

Lavigne, accompanied by a talented trio of musicians, fol-lowed up the guest speaker with a punchy, wide-ranging set that prompted the audience to give him a pair of standing ovations.

David Black, founder and majority shareholder of Black Press, which publishes the Gazette, speaks last week at the Dinner with David Black fundraiser for the West Shore Chamber of Commerce, held in the ballroom at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa.

Dale Collins believes that successful � nancial planning requires a holistic approach.“I enjoy getting to know my clients on a personal and professional level,” Dale explains. “Whether their goals include buying their � rst home, retiring comfortably, or creating an estate plan that ensures the seamless transferral of assets to their loved ones, I help my clients � gure out where they are going and how to get there.”Working in the � nancial services industry since 1996, Dale branched out on her own in late 2005, earning

her Elder Planning Counselor certi� cation in addition to her Certi� ed Financial Planning designation. Today she is also a Mutual Fund Representative with Investia Financial Services Inc.Building on their already extensive services, Dale and her Prosperity Planning team recently welcomed Tasha Cockett, a group bene� ts specialist who can help clients with all their health and dental bene� ts needs.“Our team is growing, with � ve experts working together to o� er our clients a holistic approach to � nancial

Regularly recognized as one of the region’s best sources for quality pre-owned vehicles, it’s no surprise Galaxy Motors continues to grow.An industry leader fuelled by repeat and referral business, the Galaxy brand is now recognized up and down the Island for its commitment to providing both exceptional quality and customer service. In addition to its � agship Colwood location serving Great-er Victoria, recently opened lots in Courtenay and Langley have joined those in Nanaimo and Duncan to bring the Galaxy total to � ve.Don’t expect Galaxy’s orbit to stop expanding any time soon.“� is is a passion for me, something I thoroughly enjoy. We’re going to keep growing,” says owner Phil Dagger. Re-� ecting on Galaxy’s recipe for success, “I like to think we

always treat customers the way they wanted to be treated.”For general manager David King, Galaxy’s inventory of 620-plus used vehicles – worth upwards of $10 million – allows it to match clients with their desired vehicle in a way similar to new car dealerships.“We’re like a new car dealer that doesn’t sell new cars,” he explains.While Galaxy happily accepts trade-ins, this is not a com-pany in the business of refurbishing tired, older vehicles. With few exceptions, its general rule is to avoid selling vehicles older than 10 years, or those with more than 175,000 kilometres.It also spends approximately $750 per car in refurbishing costs, which includes a 155-point pre-sale inspection, far more intensive than the industry average of 42 points, King says.

“Each dealership operates as if they have 600 cars, and at the end of the day, they’re all Galaxy cars,” he says. “What sets us apart is the ability to marry the pre-approval of a client with a vehicle.”And that speaks to the other key driver of the company’s business, and further boosting its many referrals and return customers.A major underpinning for the company, like most car dealers, is its long-standing ability to arrange � nancing for its diverse customer base, from those with credit or income challenges to those with solid credit history.Building even further on that long-standing business re-lationship are Galaxy’s skilled mechanics, technicians and service advisors who work together to ensure customers can service their vehicle where they bought it, enjoying their new wheels for years to come.

Sheri-Lynn Ellwood is the other half of this dynamic duo. She is the friendly voice on the other end of the telephone and explains, “Because we are new, we have a 778 are code.” That has caused some confusion with people thinking they need to make a long distance call. “We are not long distance for the south island. So please, do not hesitate to call.” Sheri-Lynn’s extensive background in fencing is a defi nite asset as is her priority in executi ng all of the fi ne details for each job.

Northwest Fencing is pleased to serve the Westshore community and beyond. They sincerely look forward to their involvement in the community, and they are ready to take on all of your fencing challenges with enthusiasm, professionalism, and quality.
