RCMP says Zero Tolerance in CRD Parks

VIEW ROYAL - West Shore RCMP, the Capital Regional District and the View Royal Fire Department are joining forces to at Thetis Lake Park.

RCMP says there is zero tolerance for having and drinking alcohol, or using drugs.

The fines for consumption have almost doubled from last year. It will cost you $230 if you're caught with booze, and could also face a CRD fine of $200.

The View Royal Fire Department also warns against cliff jumping, something popular with the younger crowd. It says people can misjudge the distance, and hit the rocks -- causing serious injury.

Cars are also being towed from the street when the parking lots are overflowing. The Fire Department says towing is necessary to allow enough room for fire trucks and ambulances to get through, so emergency responders to get to an injured person as soon as possible.

An iconic Canadian architectural monument perched upon a sprawling 67-acre oceanfront parcel at the southern end of Vancouver Island, minutes from British Columbia’s capital, Victoria. Punctuated by grand contemporary lines, the triumphant main residence is, according to it’s award-winning designer, Marko Simcic, “sustainably entwined” with its site in the heart of one of Canada’s most endangered natural ecosystems—the Garry Oak savannah.

Winner of the Canadian Architect Award in 2003 and a Lieutenant-Governor’s Award in 2008, the 10,700 square foot main residence is cantilevered atop a concrete armature, rooting the structure clear of the critical tree root zones. With floors branching astride a canyon carrying spent hydrothermal seawater framed by etched glass exterior walls, this innovative retreat blurs the boundaries of nature and shelter.

A sharp structural fold encloses an exterior pool and hot tub area which separates the master and guest quarters. Dynamically lit by strategically placed exterior and foot windows, reflections from the ocean and canyon river dance across hardwood floors and travertine walls.

Panoramic views of 1,400 linear feet of shoreline and private beach are amplified by spectacular ocean views backed by the rugged Olympic Mountain range. A boat house integrated into the structure, with mechanical launch directly to the sea makes setting sail a breeze, while worldwide access to home automation controls allows residents to remain connected from afar. Also included on the gated property is a caretakers residence, a garage with hydraulic lift, and a tennis/basketball court.

Metchosin is a semi-rural community of rolling countryside laced with winding rural roads traversing cultivated acreages, rocky highlands, and forests along the shores of the Juan de Fuca Strait. This area is home to many migratory birds and teems with land and sea life. Nearby parks include Albert Head Lagoon, Witty’s Lagoon, Devonian Regional park, Matheson Lake Regional Park, Roche Cove Regional Park, and East Sooke Park. By imposing a minimum one and two acre lot size bylaw, urban style development has been limited by the local government in order to preserve the area’s pastoral character.

Nearby activities include golf at the Metchosin Golf Course, the Olympic View Golf Club, or one of 8 championship golf courses scattered about Victoria’s Capital Regional District, as well as equestrian facilities at one of a number of Metchosin clubs, or rides along the famous Galloping Goose Trail. This 100 kilometer multi-use trail links the Westshore communities of Sooke, Metchosin, Colwood, Langford, and View Royal to Victoria proper, offering cyclists, joggers, hikers, and riders a route through the the countryside to the city.

Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, the Strait of Georgia and the Inside Passage, Vancouver Island is one of Canada’s finest island getaways. With its vast wilderness, picturesque peaks, temperate climate and fertile soil, this stunning locale is a paradise for those seeking serenity, natural beauty, and enchanting coastal communities.

Unlike much of Canada, Vancouver Island's weather is mild year-round. Spring comes early, with cherry blossom, tulip, and daffodil blooms lit by sparkling ocean sunsets. Summer is close behind, with the first sightings of migrating whales and local fishermen. In fall, a plethora of farms, vineyards, orchards, cideries, and breweries take local culinary culture to world-class levels. Come winter, cars loaded with kayaks, surfboards, paddle boards, skis, and snowboards come out to play, while golfers teeing off, and joggers taking to the trails remain common sights.

Kissinger Camp Portage Park

Thursday, July 7, 2011, I took a short, brisk walk up Mt. Tolmie and back. This was my second up the mountain this week after climbing it on Tuesday.
Afterward, we walked Portage Park in View Royal and have a one-minute video-to-prove-it. Enjoy.
VIDEO NARRATIVE:
Visitors to View Royal's Portage Park today see no clues to its past
The Calvert's home on 4-mile hill remind us when they owned this property to the sea at Thetis Cove
Richards Island and Dyke Point to the west, were here when these lands and beaches rang with laughter when the John D. Kissinger family had use of the large cabin from the 1930s thru to the seventies.
John Daniel Kissinger was manager of Canadian Pugent Sound Lumber & Timber Company's (CPS) mill in victoria from 1920-30
John D. then operated Island Logging Company Limited west of Cowichan Lake and Kissinger Lake is named after him.
It's encouraging to all who enjoyed spending summers at Kissinger's Camp to see how the site is preserved for future generations as Portage Park.

But emergency officials are reminding people to be responsible and stay safe for what will surely be a weekend to remember.

Police, Fire and By-Law Officers will be patrolling Thetis Lake all summer, looking for people drinking alcohol and behaving badly.
