VICTORIA The province is sending $1.2 million to the District of Saanich to restore treelines and ecosystems that were lost during the construction of the McKenzie Interchange highway project. The district says it will use the funding to restore Garry oak and trembling aspen habitats at three parks, Layritz Park, Vic Derman Park and Cuthbert Holmes Park. According to Saanich, these three parks were chosen because they have adequate space to plant new trees and resemble the ecosystems that were demolished during construction of the interchange. From the very start of the McKenzie Interchange project the ministry has been committed to making sure we worked with Saanich to offset for the trembling aspens and Garry oaks that needed to be removed for construction, said B.C. Minister of Transportation Rob Fleming in a release Thursday.
The Canadian championship was scheduled for Aug. 5-14.
“We’ll probably be in a different world by August, but that doesn’t solve the lead-up period in which the regional and provincial tournaments would have to be held across Canada,” said Nakatsu.
“Little League baseball is currently not being played and that’s the biggest issue. So many things would have needed to happen before August.”
CBC broadcasts the playoff portion of the Canadian Little League championship. Bleachers seating up to 3,000 would have been installed to ring the Saanich diamond.
“I feel badly for the kids, again,” said Nakatsu.
“It’s a tough pill for them to swallow.”
