Sands Funeral Chapels have been serving Greater Victoria for 100 years. It’s that history of compassion and community involvement that brought manager Julie Evans to work in the West Shore.
“I have passion for what I do and compassion for those I serve,” she says.
With 16 years in the industry, Julie is a Resolve Th rough Sharing counsellor and an Arbor Award of Excellence recipient. “Being a funeral director is so much more to me than making arrangements. It’s a privilege to be entrusted with the care of families’ loved ones.”
She and her two-year-old daughter, who came to Victoria to be near family, are excited to be part of the community. “Stop me on the street. Ask me any question. Drop in for tea. I would love to get to know you.”
Julie founded the annual Pet Blessing Ceremony and initiated a “Walk and Talk” allowing people to chat with experts in diff erent fi elds as they get some exercise. After a month in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, she also off ers seminars for emergency services.

Joel Luyt has long been invested in the boarding sports – the snow and skate variety. But it wasn’t until last year, when he bought Sanction Boardshop from supplier Brad Richmond that he got a chance to mould his vision of a successful business involving his passion.Luyt, 32, spent 13 years in Abbotsford before moving his family to the Island in 2012. In buying his own business – the shop has locations on Herald Street downtown, and Langford – he brought experience in both fi nancial planning and youth services to the table, both valuable assets for his new choice of work.Almost from the get-go, Luyt and his staff have worked to shed the traditional model of skateboard and snowboard shops: boards and trucks and black T-shirts only.“You cannot stay stagnant, you have to evolve and know what is trending,” he says.His expansive, high-ceilinged downtown shop is all about colour: the main fl oor is fi lled with clothing while the upper level features a wide selection of boards.While he recognizes that certain customers are stereotypical boarders and hipsters, he also tries to appeal to “the average Joe Blow construction worker who just likes to snowboard.”To further broaden his customer base, Luyt distributed an eight-page mini-catalogue targeting parents
shopping for their kids for Christmas. It was a hit and brought new faces into the stores. “Th at, in this industry, has not been done.”Th ese days, he estimates the clientele is an equal mix of teenagers and young adults, and parents. In a town where owner-operated board shops such as Sitka, HTO and Coastline have developed loyal followings, Sanction has grabbed a chunk of the market and fl ourished.“We basically doubled what (the previous owner) did in sales in a year and a half,” Luyt says. Th e company’s turnaround didn’t go unnoticed. Sanction Victoria was recently named Canadian region shop of the year at the 2012 TransWorld Business awards in Long Beach, Calif. “(Winning the award) feels incredible. We’re in Victoria, not downtown Vancouver or Whistler,” Luyt says. “Th is speaks volumes about our staff and how accessible we are.”Th e store on Jacklin Road will be expanding soon, moving two doors down to a space that will eff ectively double its selling space.Luyt’s longer-range plans include expanding to Nanaimo and perhaps the B.C. Interior. “I defi nitely want to become the shop on the Island,” he says. “I want to work on boosting the Sanction brand in future.”

WESTSHORE TOWING
Dave LeQuesne, owner of Westshore Towing since 2007, is no stranger to business on the Westshore. “My grandfather had the fi rst tow truck in the Western Communities back in 1925 – it’s in my blood!”, says Dave. Dave and his team are very particular about ‘treating their customer’s right – like family’, putting them at ease at a challenging time. Whether it’s simple jobs like towing, unlocking, boosting or fl at tires – or more emotional situations like an accident scene, Westshore has a gentle way with their customers and are always clean, professional and courteous. Westshore Towing may not be the biggest tow company on the island, but they have set the bar high in towing standards for others to follow. All their trucks have debit / credit equipped on board – actually they were the fi rst to start this trend. Th ey can now bill insurance companies direct for accidents; are fully insured and of course ICBC approved. In fact Westshore Towing is the exclusive tow provider for the Westshore RCMP detachment. Th e fl eet meets every towing need you have with 2 deck trucks,
2 wreckers, a service truck and a motorcycle transport trailer (which can also move electric scooters, golf carts and ride-on lawnmowers) ... and are in the process of ordering a heavy duty wrecker for towing heavy duty equipment. Th e Westshore fi re departments appreciate their further eff orts of donated scrap cars ... all scrap cars are donated to the fi re departments for a variety of training drills. Westshore Towing absolutely believes in giving back to their community. Dave, all his drivers and staff live, work and do business on the Westshore. It’s important for Dave to put money from the business back into the community with service and gas for the fl eet, supporting local charities, schools and sports groups on the Westshore. In addition, the tow yard is centrally located on the Westshore and on a convenient bus route.
