2 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 2012 • COMOX VALLEY RECORD COMOX BY THE SEA www.comoxvalleyrecord.com

There is a lot of discussion about our town by

the sea these days. The people who live, visit and

operate a business know that Comox is Captivat-

ing.

A major focus for the BIA is getting that

message out. The BIA has

recently taken on a number

of new initiatives — rebrand-

ing, rebuilding our website

and repositioning ourselves so

locals and visitors alike know

who and where we are.

Comox connects you.

This spring, we launched a banner contest and

had such incredible success! Two locals inspired

us with their talents and they have assisted us

with creating our new banners and our branding.

Thank you, Ron and Jim. That was fun!

Comox calls you.

Marketing our Comox is what we are re-

ally working hard at as well as working on our

partnerships to help build and to make Comox

a thriving destination. Many thanks to our com-

mittee for all the efforts you put together with

these initiatives.

Comox connects you.

Recently, the BIA and Coun. Tom Grant

hosted an event called Shaping the Future of

Downtown Comox. Over 60 people represent-

ing a wide spectrum of the business community

came out to add their voices. This dynamic group

was engaged, passionate and committed to the

future of downtown Comox — lots of great ideas

— some short term, some long and all want-

ing the same thing ... a vibrant downtown and

harbour waterfront.

Comox cares for you.

Come to Comox and explore and support ALL

local business. We won’t be here without you.

Let’s work together to make our downtown a

place we can all be proud of and call home.

Explore Comox.

BIA board experienced

Comox has strategic plan for three years and beyond


The Town of Comox has created a strategic plan for 2012 to 2014 and beyond.

“Much of what is in-cluded here is a refl ection of the achievements of past councils and it continues to build on those achieve-ments,” says Mayor Paul Ives in introducing the plan.

Ives notes the strategic plan builds on the Offi cial Community Plan that was adopted in 2011 after two years of consultation.

“Now that the OCP and other associated planning documents are in place, it is time to put them into ac-tion,” Ives continues. “A sig-nifi cant amount of energy will be directed to OCP implementation over the next three years.”Purpose of the strategic plan

This strategic plan aligns

with our 2011 Offi cial Community Plan (OCP) vision statement. The 2012 strategic plan guides our work, sets goals and prior-ity actions for the Town of Comox. It tells our citizens what Council plans to ac-complish and sets perfor-mance measures and targets for assessing progress over the next three years.

Vision from 2011 Of-fi cial Community Plan

The Town of Comox is an active residential com-munity that welcomes all ages. The heart of Comox is the downtown — a com-pact, pedestrian friendly area with a lively mix of commercial services, hous-ing and public services. Co-mox enjoys strong connec-tivity within and between neighbourhoods, commer-cial/service areas and the

waterfront through a variety of transportation choices. Comox embraces its natural areas and surroundings, recreational opportunities and ambiance as a unique seaside town. Comox will grow in a way that main-tains and enhances com-munity livability.

Core services• Public safety and pro-

tection;• Strong governance and

administration;• Financial management

and accountability;• Economic develop-

ment;• Public works: infra-

structure and engineering;• Parks;• Arts and culture;• Community develop-

ment and planning.Strategic prioritiesIn addition to core ser-

vices, our strategic priorities for 2012 – 2014 include:

• Downtown vitaliza-tion/marina enhancement;

• Fiscal balance/infra-structure asset manage-ment;

• Improving planning application timelines and process;

• OCP implementation.Downtown vitalization/

marina enhancement Council is making vital-

ization of the downtown area of Comox a priority, as well as strengthening the important linkage to the waterfront area. Working with other stakeholders in the community, this will be an exciting focus over the next few years.

Fiscal balance/infrastruc-ture asset management

Municipal infrastructure is our largest and most signifi cant asset. Over the next few years, Council will work towards a sustain-able plan for infrastructure maintenance, replace-ment and development of new infrastructure where required. Council will also work on providing bet-ter community access to fi nancial information and to keep tax increases to reasonable levels.

Improving planning

application timelines and process

In conjunction with OCP implementation, and following up on the enhanced building permit process, the focus will now shift to reducing process-ing times for development applications in order to provide certainty to our customers.

OCP implementationThe implementation of

the OCP will occur over the long term. Encourag-ing and preparing for infi ll development, as well as increasing pedestrian/non-vehicle connectivity are immediate priorities of council.

One of the most popular and enduring annual events in Comox celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.

Held in an idyllic and pictur-esque setting, the Filberg Festival happens on the B.C. Day long weekend from Aug. 3 to 6 this year.

The festival is one of western Canada’s longest running and largest juried outdoor arts shows. The 2012 event will showcase over 120 artisans and makers of fi ne art in a variety of media ranging from metalwork, pottery, toys, woodcrafts, jewelry, paintings, glass, textiles and specialty foods.

This year’s guest artist is Mary Fox of Ladysmith (www.maryfox-pottery.ca.), known for creating beautiful vessels to enrich or inspire.

Her focus is on expressing the beauty and strength of pure form. She delights in the challenge of creating contemporary vessels based on classic lines and has a keen interest in developing origi-nal glaze effects in her works.

In the past, guest artists have

displayed their work in the lodge during the festival. This time, you will be able to visit Mary’s exhibit in an outdoor location in the sur-rounding park.

The historic Filberg Lodge will be open for tours during the festi-val as part of the 30th anniversary celebration. The Filberg Festival is also known for great entertain-ment.

Kicking off the Festival on Friday are Canada’s favourite folk rockers, Spirit of the West. This year’s Blues Panel Con-cert features David Gogo, Dave Harris, David Vest, and Gary Preston and Anita Bonkowski. Singer-songwriter Roy Forbes will follow.

Other musicians include the

High Bar Gang featuring Barney Bentall, Shari Ulrich, Juno Award winner Ian Tamblyn, Babe Gurr, Juno winner Gary Fjellgaard, John Reischman and the Jaybirds, Mary Murphy, Michael Kaes-hammer and

Juno winner Phil Dw-yer.

As usual, the Great Canadian Songs Concert closes the festival.

You can buy raffl e tickets from July 1 to Aug. 6 at the Filberg Lodge Gift Shop and online at www.fi lbergfestival.com. A $10 ticket gives you the opportunity to win original paintings by art-ists Coral Barclay and Monk, a gorgeous handmade quilt by the

Comox Valley Schoolhouse Quilters Guild, a pearl

necklace from Graham’s Jewellers, pottery by Mary Fox and two re-turn tickets anywhere WestJet fl ies. Net proceeds benefi t the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park.

Gate admis-sion is charged at

the Filberg Festival, as it is the primary

fundraiser for the not-for-profi t organization which

has the responsibility of repairing and maintain-

ing the Filberg Heri-tage Lodge and Park’s property and buildings.

Advance tickets are online at www.fi lbergfestival.com, the new Vancouver Island Visitor Centre, Arizona Gifts in the Comox Cen-tre Mall and all Vancouver Island Thrifty Foods locations. Four-day passes are also available.

Besides more than 300 vol-unteers, sponsors that make the festival possible include Thrifty Foods, CHEK, Comox Valley Record, WestJet, Harbour Air Seaplanes, CBC Music, Westview Ford, Old House Village Hotel & Spa, Travelodge, Island Water-scapes, Kingfi sher Oceanside Re-sort & Spa, All In One Party Shop Event Rentals, Coast Environ-mental, Torry and Sons Plumbing & Heating, Ambassador Shuttle Service and Pacifi c Audio Works.

The event is annually set among the stately trees and gar-dens of the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park.

You can enjoy art and nature surrounded by beautiful gardens, rustic outbuildings and mag-nifi cent views of Comox Har-bour and the Beaufort Mountain Range. ❖

A steady fl ow of customers, some accompanied by dogs, walk through the doors of Wills Marine Supply in Co-mox, where they are greeted by the smiling face of Lisa Mercer.

Inside is a one-stop shop for all shapes and sizes of yachts.

Along with mechanical services, the store carries a range of marine products and miscellaneous items such as in-dash marine CD players, propane barbecues, and water-proof wallets and phone cases. The Comox Avenue store even carries Nautical Trivia: The

Sailing Board Game. “We can do complete refi ts

on boats, we do client pre-purchase, surveys, that kind of thing,” said Glenn Wills, who previously operated an in-water service called Bottoms Up before establishing Wills Marine in 2009.

“We do line-splicing, we do custom line work, we can design anchor systems, solar systems ... We’re a totally dif-ferent kind of animal. There’s no other chandlery that’s like a shipyard. We’re like a boat-yard without a boatyard.”

If the store doesn’t carry a specifi c item, staff will order it in.

“We make stuff work,” Wills said. “We’re good at

making things happen.”Wills, an advocate of

buying locally, maintains a friendly working relationship with similar businesses in the Valley. He is in the process of expanding the store space and setting up a boat brokerage. He also plans to build a mini dock in front of the store.

Wills’ son Carter is among a staff of eight that includes four full-time positions that he created. A few retirees also lend a hand at times, working on boats when the need arises.

Mercer, a college student, has been at Wills Marine since the business opened but went full-time in December. She is the unoffi cial store manager, who looks after payables, receivables, inventory and payroll.

“He’s the only reason I’m here,” Mercer said of Wills. “I wanted to work for Glenn and I’m quite happy with the op-portunity.” ❖

A much-loved family tradition will re-turn to Marina Park as Comox celebrates its 54th annual Nautical Days Festival.

The festival will span the B.C. Day long weekend (Aug. 4 to 6) and will feature a slew of time-honoured acts and events sure to please crowds.

Saturday morning will begin with a Strathcona Sunrise Rotary pancake break-fast, featuring live entertainment by Rob Petrie.

The annual Kids’ Festival begins at 10 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. with a pet parade; amongst other activities, youngsters can

build crafts, hop on the Bounce Mania, have their faces painted, or brave numerous carnival rides.

Adults are also entitled to their fun at a centrally-located, bistro-style garden termed Tavern on the Green, open each day. A jazz ensemble will provide the after-noon’s entertainment.

Once the Kids’ Festival winds down, competition will heat up as two-man teams prepare for a canoe-jousting competition presented by the Flying Canoe West Coast Pub — the last man standing wins! Folks of all ages are then invited to a live perfor-mance at Captain Cracker’s Family Dance, the fi nal event of the night.

The Comox Valley Ministerial will si-multaneously lead an interdenominational church service to which attendees should bring their own lawn chairs. At 12:30 p.m., Elvis tribute artist Steve Elliot will bring the “memories and magic of the King. Sunday’s ‘Gospel of Elvis’ will be the fi rst of three stellar performances.

“If you’re looking to move your business to the next level, (Harbour Centre) is the building to be in,” says general manager Joel McDaniel of the Comox development.

Slated for completion this year, the two-phase busi-ness and residential project has already generated con-siderable interest. Located at 1829 Beaufort Ave., the 21,000-square-foot luxury complex aims to artfully integrate residential and com-mercial space whilst affording tenants and residents exquisite ocean views and easy access to local amenities.

Commercial spaces ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 square feet are available for purchase or lease, and will be built to

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards.

Featuring expansive curtain wall windows and energy-effi cient technology, the esthetically-appealing units

will promote indoor air qual-ity and energy/cost savings.

Although it could po-tentially be subdivided into smaller spaces, the building is predicted to hold about eight retail and offi ce units. A hand-ful of prospective tenants are currently discussing lease and purchase agreements.

The development’s 14 four-

storey condominiums are also commanding attention.

Roughly 30 people have expressed interest in the two-bedroom residential units, while eight prospective buyers are on a permanent purchas-ing waitlist.

The units range from 1,100 to 1,800 square feet and will be constructed to Built Green building standards; each condo comes equipped with a balcony, fi replace and modern appliances. Buyers can choose from one of 10 fl oor plan op-tions, each refl ecting the com-plex’s modern, understated architecture.

“We feel it’s the best com-mercial/offi ce/retail building in Comox,” declares McDan-iel.

Meet the Medicine Shoppe Family

1782B Comox Ave., Comox

I was born in Vancouver and I attended Vancouver Community College earning a diploma in structural drafting. After several years I re-tooled and in 2002 obtained my pharmacy technician diploma.

Lynn

Nicknamed Joey by my co-workers, I’m originally from the Prairies and attended Pharmacy at the U of S. I moved to Comox in 2003 and enjoy golf, cycling and yoga.

When Tim isn’t providing health care you will fi nd him on his bicycle or moonlighting as a hair do model.

I grew up in the Comox Valley and I’ve worked at the Medicine Shoppe since 2006. I enjoy running, cycling and cheering for the BC Lions.

After 11 years, I’m still the brains behind the entire operation. They keep me hidden in the back, but occasionally I’m let out to sweep fl oors or deliver paycheques. I enjoy styling Tim’s hair in my spare time.

In 1997 my family and I moved to the Comox Valley and since then I graduated from high school and I started working here at the Medicine Shoppe since Nov. 2000. I enjoy Taekwondo and Boxing in my free time.

I have been in the Comox Valley since 1972 & have worked with Tim since 1998. I love spending time with my husband, son & extended family. My job is front store manager. In my spare time I enjoy Taekwondo and Boxing

Recently retired from 30 years at St. Joe’s as an R.N. and very happy to join Tim’s Medicine Shoppe family. I enjoy gardening, cake decorating, golf, sewing and needlework.

I have worked at the Medicine Shoppe since 2006. My hobbies include knitting, camping, cheering for the Canucks and pestering Tim.

I was born and raised in the Comox Valley. I have been part of the Medicine Shoppe for more than 5 years and I enjoy watching and playing hockey.

I have lived in the Comox Valley for 18 years and I love it! We enjoy being on Vancouver Island where we are close to family.

When I was told I would be working with 14 women, this isn’t what I had in mind! When I’m not working with these lovely ladies I enjoy swimming, cycling and tennis.

Originally from Sudbury Ontario, Comox has been my home for the past 11 years. I enjoy soccer, skiing and fi ne wine. I am happy to be a part of the Medicine Shoppe team.

Ask Compass Adventure owner James Robinson who should be enjoying the wa-ters of the Comox Harbour and his answer is simple — everybody.

“From seven to 70, anybody who’s a kid, and that includes adults,” will enjoy being on the water with Compass Adventure, Robinson says.

“(We) offer an all-en-compassing water sports ex-perience which prides itself in safety,” says Robinson. “We’ve been here 25 years ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY CAN ENJOY THE WATERS OF COMOX HARBOUR, SAYS JAMES ROBINSON OF COMPASS ADVENTURE.

and I like to think of us as a micro business rather than a small business which has served the community and tourism for that length of time.”

Compass Adventure has evolved into a family business, with Robinson’s sons Stuart and Andrew playing key roles while also operating their own busi-ness, SurfSUP (for standup paddle boarding) for the past three years.

Located at Marina Park in Comox, Compass Adven-ture offers activities, lessons and events to suit all inter-ests. They also offer beach parties complete with water trampoline, water slide and boat rentals.

Robinson notes Com-

pass Adventure offers extremely qualifi ed instruc-tors, including Stuart and Andrew who have repre-sented Canada and many competitions and who are the only master SUP instructors in Canada.

Robinson notes Com-pass Adventure reaches out to other communities with its Vancouver Island series of SUP races. Famous for its surfi ng, Tofi no is hosting its fi rst SUP Surf Race this July while Comox will be the site of the Canadian Water-man competition on Aug. 18 and 19.

Robinson says it is ironic that visitors to the Valley re-mark on what a wonderful place it is for water sports, while local residents do

not seize the opportunity to enjoy the jewel in their midst.

“It is phenomenally good to learn to sail here. It’s such a safe area. We always get reasonable wind and weather,” said Rob-inson, adding the Comox Harbour offers facilities and opportunities unmatched up and down the coast.

The Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park Society is doing something a little different this summer that it hopes will please music lovers while sharing the picturesque treasure that is Filberg Park.

After inviting people to the park for music on Sundays the past few years, the society is de-buting the Summer Concert Series this year at the popular and scenic waterfront setting in Comox.

It’s a series of fi ve Thursday evening concerts. Bring a picnic or make a reservation at the Filberg Tea House for an early dinner. The concerts are from 7 to 9 p.m.

July 12 — The Sweet Low Down, an acoustic roots trio based in Victoria. The members are Amanda Blied (guitar), Shanti Bremer (banjo), and Miriam Sonstenes (fi ddle) — three musi-cians who come together to create

music inspired by their love of old time, folk, bluegrass and roots music.

July 19 — Wil, who remains the consummate touring musi-cian, developing his expansive roots-rock sound while build-ing a dedicated following for his famously intense live shows. Wil has always preferred to play live either solo or with “just a drummer,” which these days is the Comox Valley’s own Kevin Haughton.

July 26 — Oliver Swain’s Big Machine, which hails from Victo-ria. Swain is Canada’s quintessen-tial folk and traditional musician. He eats, sleeps and breathes music.

Aug. 16 — Mae Moore, who is renowned for her mature and sophisticated mixture of pop, folk and jazz music. Her sound has been captured most recently by producer Joby Baker (Cowboy

Junkies), who produced Alex Cuba’s Grammy-nominated and Latin Grammy-winning third album. The new mix is an atmo-spheric and slightly percussive blend of jazzy folk-roots with a subtle European feel to it.

Aug. 23 — Impossible Bird, which has been described as an absolutely stellar combination of upbeat alt-folk that’s mesmerizing and radiates talent.

“These well-crafted songs defy anyone to sit still, with insistent beats, catchy hooks and instru-mental interest that develop with repeated listening … The resultant sound is instantly engaging,” says Hillary Field of Victory Music Review.

“Great vibe. Very unique. Love it,” adds songwriter Jim Vallance.

Sam Ogawa believes freshness is the most important part of great-tasting sushi.

Ogawa, who co-owns Sushi Kobo in Comox, says everything is made on the spot at the small takeout restaurant.

He adds sushi is meant to be eaten right away; in fact, he doesn’t recommend eating it more than four hours after it’s prepared — even if it’s kept in the fridge.

“Most important is freshness,” says Ogawa. “We don’t have any-thing made already; everything made by order.”

Sushi Kobo, which means su-shi ‘artisan,’ is “a very small family

operation,” according to Ogawa, who adds the staff all feel like family, but no one is related.

Ogawa and co-owner Ku-miko Lo are from Japan and the restaurant focusses on traditional Japanese-style sushi, more so than some other sushi bars in Canada, according to Ogawa.

For instance, he notes deep-fried sushi rolls are popular in Canada, but are not typical in Ja-pan. He says he tries to stay away from North American-style sushi, but does offer some less-tradition-al Japanese-style rolls.

The restaurant features a wide variety of rolls, including maki and uri-maki sushi, nigiri, sashimi, and gourmet and fusion rolls.

Soups like u-don and of

course, miso, as well as a selection of salads are also on the menu. And Sushi Kobo offers many hot dishes like stir-fries.

Although Ogawa says every-thing needs to be fresh, he adds the freshness of rice is often

overlooked.“Most important is rice. Lots

of people don’t care. Rice is No. 1,” he says. “Sushi never be frozen or refrigerated because once you refrigerate it, the rice, they go back to like a hard rice.”

Ogawa warns wait times can be on the longer side — he says it takes longer to prepare the food because everything is made-to-order.

Last fall, the Comox Valley Harbour Authority received $250,000 in fed-eral funding towards a new breakwater project.

The money was used to construct an access ramp and install fl oats at the small craft harbour.

Funding came from the West Coast Commu-nity Adjustment Program (WestCCAP), which in-vested $1.6 million for nine projects in coastal commu-

nities.The new fl oat will

increase summer moorage capacity and connect to the new fl oating breakwater.

A grand opening for the new expansion will be held later in the year.

“We have a new access ramp, a 320-foot fl oating breakwater plus an addi-tional 700 feet of new fl oat we stuck in to connect out to the fl oating breakwater,” wharfi nger Rob Clarke said. “It’s all put in trying to increase a bit more tourism revenue here.”

DOES EVERYONE MUMBLE?

Incorporated in 1991, the CVHA is one of 54 harbour authorities providing service to the com-mercial fi shing fl eet on the B.C. coast.

The Comox harbour has a long history of pro-viding a vital transportation link for the commu-nity. The fi rst dock was built in 1874.

Priority for year-round moorage is given to com-mercial fi shing vessels, which depart for the fi shing

grounds in mid-May and return in mid-September.

The public can purchase salmon, tuna, cod, halibut, lingcod, and occa-sionally crab, shrimp and prawns fresh off the boat from fi sher-men at the marina.

The dockside sales area is located on the cross fl oats on the east side of the harbour at the bottom of the ramp. Patrons are encouraged to come down early, as vessels tend to sell out quickly.

“It’s very attractive for people,” Clarke said, not-ing a steady lineup for halibut in May.

Patrons can enter their e-mail address for au-tomatic notifi cation when fi sh is available or call 250-339-6041 for a recording.

ting lots of positive feedback from custom-ers.”

Tia Otter, president of the Comox BIA, said, “I am thrilled to welcome the COAST Surf Shop to our BIA.

“This is the kind of business that attracts another demographic and more traffi c to our downtown core. We wish Jesse all the success in his new endeavor.”

COAST is located at 101-1705 Comox Ave., “the building with the boats.”
