2012?
Not unlike the bridge project they just picked the date out of thin air, and in this case it was a date for thinned turds to be running up and down hill through some of the prime neighbourhood's looking for a place to leak into someones basement, not unlike the buried oil tank nightmare. Why go to all that trouble when you could process turds at a facility at Ogden Point, perhaps in an unused part of the Cruise Ship Terminal. They have already started the pipe under the harbour to get the turds from Clover Point over to McLoughlin Point, so they just need to drill a second pipe to bring it back along a much shorter route. The bonus from this location is if that pipe ruptures during the big earthquake, the contents will leak harmlessly into the mouth of the harbour and carried out to sea on the ebb tide, or... up past the Empress Hotel on a flood tide. What ever...
I fully support all the politicians and their need to go to Europe to study turd processing, as it could be the most rewarding phase of their careers.

I am sure that for many of them it will be their first trip outside of North America.
I wonder if any of them have ever heard of Skype?

Hey! You think our Chinese bridge just built itself?*
*a reference to Helps and her entourage traveling to China.
Know it all.

2 staff and 3 directors will go to Europe this October on your dollar. How much you want to bet spouses accompany them? 1/2 price vacation.

Sooke Mayor Maja Tait, the committee’s chairwoman, supported sending the issue along to the full CRD board and said it arose out of a discussion in June. She said the concept of the tour was discussed back then and direction came out of that to see what it would entail.
Why the f does the Sooke Mayor have anything to do with it, since they are not involved in sewage (they have their own system)?

Its not just sewage but solid waste as well - Integrated Resource Management - so every part of CRD is involved. Tait chairs CRD's IRM committee, and places like Sooke, Metchosin, Highlands which have no connexion to regional sewage system are involved because of the solid waste angle.

Now, if this is not a vacation, let's see if the 3 directors take their spouses. Yes, that part is to be paid by them (airfare and expenses, they can stay for free in the taxpayer-paid hotel), but it's still a better-than 1/2 price vacation.

The 'smart' ones get the Government to pay for a business class ticket and then they exchange it for 2 economy fares so their spouse actually gets to go for free.

Excerpts:If it’s Tuesday, this must be Belgium’s sewage....As foreign trips go, it’s hardly on a par with a tour of the great wineries of Burgundy, but it nevertheless screams: “Junket.”Editorial: Sewage trip a waste of time:
You can probably find out the same information in Puget Sound and those folks would probably pay their way down, because they have an interest in us getting our system RIGHT.

Why not buy a mothballed tanker (going cheap these days maybe $10 million)?
Fill it up, sail out 20 miles once every few weeks and pump out the "nutrients"? Jobs and big fat salmon, win win!

Excerpts:
Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen says a planned trip to Europe is premature for the Capital Regional District.
...While I'll keep an open mind, at this juncture I'm not inclined to support this," Jensen said. "It's, I think, premature to go looking at what we may want for Victoria. As a first step we need to decide what it is we want in integrated waste management...With today's technology the only thing missing would be "smellivision."

Hey. It seems the CRD aren't the only incompetent sewage planners around. This from the Winnipeg Free Press: https://www.winnipeg...-443339023.html
