A ffordable housing is on the rise in Fernwood. On January 2nd, Fernwood NRG broke ground at 1222 Yukon Street, commencing construction of Park Place, the Society’s six-unit market-based affordable rental housing project overlooking Haegert Park. Fernwood NRG Executive Director Roberta Martell, explained how the groundbreaking played a role in determining the process to follow. “We didn’t know what to expect when we dug down,” she said. “ey said we might hit bedrock and have to blast. ey said we might hit loose sand and have to do a bunch of tamping or trucking material in. No blasting was required, and the removed fill was so clean that other area building projects took what we would otherwise have had to pay to landfill … Only in Fernwood,” Martell pointed out, “would we find a way to recycle fill.” Contractor Garde Collins says what they did find was compact and well-drained glacial sand. He’s pleased, adding that they might also have encountered clay, which could have made for beginning the project in slurry of collected rainwater. NRG Board of Directors Vice-Chair Trish Richards, described her feelings as she watched the excavator break ground. “We’ve been talking and planning for so long – to actually see the excavator made it so real. And the operator was an artist!” Richards compared this beginning to that of Fernwood NRG’s Cornerstone project during the summer of 2005. “e speed of activity with Park Place is amazing,” she noted. “By the end of the day you could see where the building was going in. e Cornerstone reconstruction was an incredible experience, working every Saturday for months as a team of neighbours. And at the same time, of necessity, change came relatively slowly. To be able to watch the transformation in one day this time, it was mind-boggling.” She adds with a twinkle in her eye, “You should have seen Roberta dance!” At press time, with a little help from a Vic High trades student, the framing crew from the Queen Charlotte Islands was putting the finishing touches on forms for footings and foundation walls. If all goes well, the entire foundation should be poured on Friday, January 18th and the walls will be going up by the beginning of February. Collins says things are looking good for project completion on schedule toward the end of June. Park Place’s six three-bedroom market- based affordable housing units will be available for families with children. Prospective tenants for the building’s six suites, including one wheelchair-accessible unit, should check at the Fernwood Community Centre or online at www. fernwoodneighbourhood.ca for information on the application process and submission deadlines. Fernwood NRG breaks ground at Park Place New fun at Franklin Green Park >> by Tania Wegwitz T hanks to the work of North Park Neighbourhood Association (NPNA) volunteers and folks at the City, Fernwood kids now have another rejuvenated space to play. e new Franklin Green playground opened in mid- December. Since then it has been attracting an increasing stream of young fans despite the unpredictable winter weather. e park (also known as Mason Street Park) is located on Mason Street near the corner of Cook Street. Most Fernwoodians know it as the green space behind Wellburn’s Market. NPNA Chair Kristin Atwood says that it’s understandable if some people didn’t realize that this space is a park. “It almost felt more like an urban space or empty lot. Now it’s more recognizable as a park, as a place that’s part of a community where families live and where people are growing memories.” in this issue Fire hits Fernwood home Page 3 Feature: Collective Creativity: Fernwood artists Page 4 Fernwood’s zigloo domestique Page 7 – continued on page 6 Photos: Pete Rockwell Photo: Véronique da Silva

a chance to interpret the art. Anne speaks to the question of whether it is
constraining to give the artist a theme. She says that the artists that have been
consulted say it can be helpful, the seed of an idea.
As we discuss the theme of the fi rst show to open the gallery in February, the
artist’s questioning mind is revealed. Th e show is entitled “Stilled” and will be
open to all members. Th e idea for the show emerged out of a discussion of still
life as subject matter, of the traditional variety of, say, a bowl of pears, and what
constitutes a contemporary still life. Is a soup can by Andy Warhol a still life?
From there, the discussion moved to the idea of “still” as in something stopped,
and then to “memento mori,” that which is not still, and the transience of life.
Interesting subject matter, and a sign of the way the gallery’s audience can expect
to be challenged. Th e show will run for three weeks from February 15th to
March 7th.
One of the objectives of Collective Works is to make the arts as inclusive and
accessible as possible for the community. With that in mind, the gallery will off er
workshops to the public. Plans are in the making for workshops on puppetry,
printmaking and collage, with the intention to keep classes as aff ordable as
possible. Th e gallery also hopes to feature spoken word, fi lm and video art, as well
as artists’ talks and demonstrations. Th ere are also plans to host events that are
free or by donation and open to the public.
In addition to full members and associate members, Collective Works has
a third category of membership for supporting members. Th is group includes
anybody who wants to support the collective, either as a patron, or an artist
who does not wish to show. With their $100 per year membership, supporting
members will receive a quarterly newsletter and discounts for workshops
presented by Collective Works.
As one of its fi rst projects, in January, members of Collective Works formed
a connection with Vic High students. Th is led to an exhibit of student works
of portraiture at the Cornerstone Café with a second exhibit to follow in June.
Anne explains that it was important for Collective Works to support the Vic
High students. Aft er all, the mission statement of Collective Works, she says, is
to “support and challenge artists, both new and maturing.” Th e response to this
new connection from art teacher Sonia Olsen and participating students has
been positive. Frieda-Raye Green and Jillian Kendrick-Cook said that having the
student shows at the café contributes to a sense of belonging in the community.
For the Vic High students and teachers, showing students’ work makes sense
and allows the community, the café, and the school to play off of each other,
especially considering the strong arts orientation of Vic High. Th is is a positive
for Fernwood NRG too, as it is a goal of the organization, and a particular
objective Fernwood NRG has for the café, to increase community connections.
Collective Works artists also hope to develop a mentoring program for Vic High
students whereby they can gain valuable experience as interns at the gallery, learn
to act as attendants, learn to hang a show, observe portfolio evaluations and
address work. Essentially students will have an opportunity to be in the milieu of
art, with artists. Collective Works promises to bring a new nexus of connection
to our neighbourhood, both in terms of ideas and of people.

If you are looking at native plants for
your garden, ferns are a good choice; they must have been
growing here when the colonists settled ‘Fernwood’!
Using ferns in your garden helps to create that lovely
‘woodsy’ look that is relaxed and beautifully natural.
Ferns are a primitive plant form that don’t fl ower
but have wonderful leaves (fronds). While some are
deciduous, many are evergreen in our climate. We think
of them as only green, but they actually range extensively
in colour. Sometimes it is the fronds that are a lovely
burnished bronze or amber yellow, some have black or red
stems, and yet others have a painted or silvery look. Some
ferns colour more in the spring when their amazing new
fronds uncurl, and others colour up in the fall. Th ere are
an amazing variety of frond shapes and colors if you look
at them closely in the nursery or in nature.
Th ere is also a wide range in size of ferns: from small
types that are good in the rockery or pots and baskets,
to larger ones that add to the border. Th en there are the
bold, dazzling ones that can be focal points. Try planting
a few in a cluster or nestling them into little nooks here
and there. Some varieties have glossy fronds that refl ect
light – all seem to be luminescent in low light and so are
superb for darker corners, north sides and under trees. If
you are planting them under conifers or dense deciduous
trees, they do best placed in between the canopies or at
the drip line where they can get some moisture.
When planted and sited well, ferns are easy to grow.
Th eir requirements are for shade from at least the midday
sun and shelter from harsh winds. Most prefer a rich
and well-drained soil. Th ey will tolerate clay soil because
it stays moist longer. Most love moist soil but moisture
requirements do vary, so do your research, read the tag at
the nursery carefully or talk to someone who knows, as
there are some varieties that will even survive dry shade.
(Th e sword fern is a good example.)
Adding compost or sea soil while planting and
then as a mulch is recommended. Watering well for the
fi rst couple of summers and during droughts is a must,
otherwise it depends on your soil, the weather and the
particular variety. To avoid rot it’s best to water the roots,
not the crown, when hand-watering. It is also important
to make sure that you give them enough room (read your
books or tags for mature size) so that their delicate fronds
are not always torn and tattered by passing traffi c. Ferns
are well behaved and colonize slowly. Th ey have few pests
and are long lived when in the right spot.
Th e only pruning needed is for the old fronds to be
cut back just before the new ones emerge in late winter.
Th ey look wonderful when grown with other woodsy
plants having similar requirements: cyclamen, trillium,
Erythronium (dog’s tooth violet), woodland lilies (the
toad and Martagon), snowdrops and, where there is
enough room, hellebores and hostas. In damper spots
they can be planted with primulas and gunnera, and
in sunnier spots they can be planted with lewisia and
saxifrages. Th ey work well with shade tolerant woodsy
perennials (cranesbills for example) and ornamental
grasses as well. With their wonderfully fi ne texture, ferns
look great planted amongst ‘stumpery’ (large branches
and stumps). Th ey are like jewels beside rocks, bricks and
pavers, as well as in pots and baskets. Creating textures in
your garden can be as visually exciting as fl owering plants.
Th ese exquisite plants can be used in so many
diffi cult places in your yard to add some magic and
beauty. Th ey are durable and hardy with few demands.
What a truly suitable plant to have our neighbourhood
named aft er!

According to Atwood, a spruce up of Franklin Green has
been part of the NPNA’s wish list for quite some time.
Th e process began to move closer to reality when City
of Victoria Parks staff held a community consultation
in May 2007 to learn about the neighbourhood’s desires
for the park. To further bring attention to the space and
allow for public input on the revitalized park plans, the
NPNA held their community festival in Franklin Green
last summer.
Th e revitalized Franklin Green features a new
playground with a rubberized play surface similar to
that used on the Stevenson Park playground. Swings are
available for tots and older kids and the playground itself
has slides, monkey bars, and other climbing areas geared
to diff erent ages and skill levels. Th e original bench swing
– which Atwood says area residents were keen to keep
– and the community mosaic still remain.
Other improvements include a levelled grass
surface, a sprinkler system, benches, and pathway.
New lights (similar to those in Haegert and Central
Parks) are on their way. A new power box installed at
the neighbourhood’s request provides for even more
exciting possibilities. “We wanted the power box so that
we can now have a sound system for neighbourhood
performances and events,” says Atwood.
A sound system might soon get a lot of use. Beside
the annual North Park community festival this summer,
word has it that the NPNA is also exploring the idea of
hosting a series of concerts in the park featuring local
musicians.
Th e months ahead will bring even more amenities for
young and old alike. Deborah Bate, Landscape Technician
for the City’s Parks Department, says that phase two
of the Franklin Green rejuvenation is planned for the
spring. Th is will bring a picnic table, an additional path to
explore the park, and a bocce ball space. Th ere’ll also be a
pickleball court. “I hadn’t heard of pickleball myself,” said
Bate, “but one of the neighbourhood residents were really
keen on it and it’s supposed to be a lot of fun.”
Whether as part of a pickleball or bocce ball
showdown or as a space for kids to run around in on the
way home from town or the grocery store, the new face of
Franklin Green Park is a welcome one. Many thanks to all
of the neighbourhood volunteers and City staff who made
it happen.

faces : Fernwood’s zigloo domestique
>> by Aaron Ellingsen
What the heck is a Zigloo Domestique? Before
we sat down to chat over tea, Fernwood resident and
architectural designer Keith Dewey showed me around his
unique Zigloo home. It turns out a Zigloo is a conceptual
take-off from that archetypal Canadian home, the igloo.
Built out of seven re-purposed shipping containers
– that’s seven of the six million decommissioned globally
every year!! – the Zigloo is tucked teasingly off of both
Fernwood Road and Pembroke Street – I’ve been watching
his project develop for a while, so I was excited to speak
with Keith and have a close-up look.
I asked about his fascination for “cargotecture,” a term
for designing and building with re-used industrial shipping
containers. “It sort of came out of the blue for me,” he says.
“It was an Australian design magazine I picked up one
summer, and right on the cover there was a picture of a 20-
foot container sitting in the outback. It was a freestanding,
off -the-grid system that could be picked up and moved from
the docklands of Queensland into the outback. It was very
inspiring. It didn’t take much looking beyond that to run
into things like Container City and other container ideas.”
Shipping containers, though, are only part of his story.
Keith completed three years at Ryerson’s architectural
school in Toronto before his growing interests in aesthetics
and form and function took him to the Ontario College
of Art and Design, where he completed a four-year design
program. “Th e two programs,” he explains, “allowed me
to get a really well-grounded education – one that had a
lot of practical engineering skills and provided a very good
understanding of aesthetics and the functionality of space.”
It was a pioneering instinct that brought Keith out
from Toronto to Victoria to begin his design career in 1994,
and he says it was a leap of faith that brought him from
Fairfi eld into Fernwood. In November of 2006 Keith, with
his wife, their daughter and their cockatoo, moved into the
Zigloo during a snowstorm.
Working on his home, Keith found himself part of a
buzz of activity in the neighbourhood. “Seeing all the work
going on here – it’s just so inspiring. I’m now seeing lots
of amazing interest going on in the Square…. It’s such a
great family neighbourhood,” he says, “Th ere are characters
all over the place, and it certainly is a neighbourly part
of town.” Although he misses Fairfi eld’s proximity to the
beach, Dewey is pleased with their new home.
Th e Zigloo Domestique is a luxuriously fi nished 2,000 ft 2
modern open-concept home built on a usable lot space of
approximately 40 feet square. Th e building incorporates
seven 40-foot shipping containers as well as such green
design touches as dual-fl ush toilets, low-voltage lighting, in-
fl oor heat, energy effi cient appliances, bamboo fl ooring and
cabinetry and a by-demand hot water system.
“What I think we’ve been able to prove here,” he says,
“is that for the approx $150/ft 2 cost of the kind of spec-
appointed development housing that’s going up out in
Langford and beyond we can take a panhandle/infi ll lot,
with all the challenges that surround that, and build a really
nice designer-quality space.” While the Zigloo Domestique
has come in a little over budget, at around $175/ft 2, Keith
points out that unexpected costs resulted from engineering
that need not be repeated. He’s confi dent he can provide
luxury-appointed designer urban living for roughly the
same cost as a new suburban home.
Keith has also recently started working with
Edmonton’s A-just Housing Corporation who, he says,
“are combining the expertise of engineers, plastic mold
fabricators, painters, designers and container companies
in an eff ort to design a fully self-contained 319 ft 2 single-
container modular home at a base cost – including property
to place it on – of $50,000.”
Base units and upgrades would be interchangeable and
mass-produced to keep costs down – “kind of a ‘plug-and-
play’ idea, like in computers,” he suggests. At that price
level, such housing could be radically aff ordable, but project
success rests on the eff ective application of technology and
creative design to resolve space limitation issues.
From his vantage point in the Zigloo Domestique,
Keith sees bright and varied possibilities for building with
containers, but he also sees a major hurdle in overcoming
the stigma associating containers with the dockyards, the
shipping industry and backyard junk collecting. Where
Keith has found Victoria open to his designs, some other
jurisdictions are not. Colwood, for one, has banned
containers on residential lots.
I look forward to chatting with Keith again – perhaps
over fi sh and chips at Victoria’s new waterfront container-
based restaurant Red Fish, Blue Fish – to hear about life,
progress and all things container-based.

Mirror Lake
light lingers towards solstice today
still three weeks away
9pm orange tinges the cloud bottoms
and green fades to grey
Mirror Lake trek at avalanche break
beyond Lake Louise.
“There’s been some bear activity in the area,”
warns the woman at the welcome centre
as she makes highlighter circles on my map.
“Watch for fresh,” she says
coding their shit politely.
Warned of bears and avalanches I proceed
wondering whether and what if
bears circled maps and said,
“There’s been some human activity in the area,”
their maps would be covered in squiggles.
Mirror Lake frozen still
and drift covered,
it’s the shores that refl ect the shadows.
Sped ahead of German tourists
I’ve stolen and moment and sit
sandwich munching, reveling,
Fresh fallen snow
outlines mirror perfect
the still bare trees.
Turn back now don’t venture
where avalanche awaits and quietly
too quietly for there
on the trail ahead is a bear.
Instinct make noise.
I pull out C harmonica
and blow the shrillest note I can muster.
The bear, as it were, begins to grin,
so I move down the octave
to a lower throaty register
and draw out a mournful tune
she swoons, then dances
swaying as I play both unafraid.
I look up and she’s gone instead
a burned out stump
that imagination wild and circles on a map
might conjure to life.

Poem for a Lake in the North
You hold me gently
As the late August sun
fades into nothingness, to night
Loon bellies glide and ripple your smooth surface skin
They call
And I splash amidst the echoes
grateful relief from the heat of day
from the trailer hot kitchen
where I work to renew the forests
Your freshwater body different than home
the salty pacifi c

We meet here
You and I
Skin to skin borderland
You wash over me
Inside me
And I remember in these moments
