Summer at Sayward Hill

   

Sayward Hill is the place to be this summer and our newest residents at 758 Sayward Hill Terrace have been enjoying a true West Coast lifestyle right from their balcony! Their new carefree living has afforded owners the time to truly enjoy all that summer is in Cordova Bay - sunrises and morning coffee on their patio, long walks along the sandy shores of the Bay, a round of golf or a stroll through the local shops of Mattick’s Farm. Dinner options are easy with a trip to the Red Barn Market for fresh organic choices, a selection of VQA wines from the Wine Shop and a fresh bouquet of flowers from the Secret Garden. The aroma of warm ocean breezes and summer blooms blend in harmony and definitely set the tone for summer at Sayward Hill. Suites are now complete and ready for you to make your move for immediate occupancy at 748 and 758 Sayward Hill Terrace, while there is still time to enjoy your home with friends and family this summer.

Sales inquiries and traffic continues to heat up along side the summer temperatures and we’re pleased to welcome three new owners who will be calling Sayward Hill home in the coming months. This also marks the sale of our last unit at 738 Sayward Hill Terrace. The steady showing of real estate sales within Greater Victoria these past few months confirms that confidence in the market has returned and discerning buyers are once again discovering the unique lifestyle and quality homes available at Sayward Hill. With only seven homes available, we encourage you to explore your opportunities today!

Treasures: The World's Cultures from the British Museum
On Display Only Until September 30, 2009

A visit to the Royal BC Museum in the spring and summer of 2009 will be an epic journey. Travel through world history spanning more than 1.5 million years and all parts of the globe in this North American premiere.

Treasures celebrates the objects that define human culture. More than 300 artifacts from the renowned British Museum collection, including a 3,000-year-old Egyptian Mummy, a shield from the Bronze Age and works from the likes of Picasso and Rembrandt, will be on display.

In the middle of the exhibition, the Enlightenment Centre invites families to learn through hands-on activities and enriching exploration. Visitors can delve more deeply into hieroglyphics, put broken pottery back together, or test their memory as they place treasures on the world map. Treasures also invites you to hold history in the palm of your hand - really - with ancient artifacts from the British Museum's special handling collection. Allow your inquiring mind to explore four different 'Cabinets of Curiosity' and imagine the hands that created these objects, so long ago.

The Royal BC Museum is centrally located near downtown Victoria's stunning inner harbour and is walking distance from many accommodations, restaurants, parks and activities.

Cordova Bay Golf Course Players of the Month

Neil and Kathryn married 6 years ago, and after a short while, Neil was on a mission to live on a golf course. At that point, Kathryn was still riding around in golf carts enjoying the scenery. When they saw the plans for the new Sayward Hill development, they knew Cordova Bay would be their new home course! They moved in at opening... June 1, 2005 and off they both went to the course... a lot. Neil is a grown-up golfer, disciplined as h*^%, spending more time at the Cordova Bay practice facilities than playing. Kathryn never practices, she’s ashamed to admit. Hence, Neil’s handicap: 9. Kathryn’s handicap: 21.

When did you start playing golf?
Neil: I think I was around 10. Taught by my Dad and thousands of dollars worth of golf magazines. I took my first lesson (out of only a few I’ve ever had), two years ago. I’m a highly analytical golfer. I just hit the ball and hope for the best.
Kathryn: Neil bought me golf clubs on our second or third date in 2002. It was not a subtle hint. I had never touched a golf club, by age 47, and never had any desire to play. Neil was incredibly patient, and taught me the basics, as I pulled my clubs over tee boxes, chatted through the tee shots of our fellow golfers... you get the picture. I had NO idea about any of it!

What is your favourite golf moment or best golfing memory?
Neil: Playing St. Andrews with my son, Ryan in 1998.
Kathryn: My first hole in one. Trickle Creek, Kimberley, hole #8, Aug. 13, 2007. I was playing with some very special friends Jan and Mike Huminuk and I’ll admit it, I got all emotional (but so did everyone else). However it equals my second one last week, May 12. After my first one, all I could think of was... if only it had happened at home! And now it has... And did you hear that I am a twin, and my twin’s name is Karen? And the CB hole in one was witnessed by the two others in my threesome - “Katheryn” and “Karen”. How unbelievable!

What is the best round you have ever played?
Neil: 77 at Cordova Bay, 2007.
Kathryn: 89 at Tobiano, same trip as my hole-in-one.

What is your favourite hole at Cordova Bay?
Neil: 15, the view.
Kathryn: 15, the view, until last week, when it suddenly switched to hole #11.

Who would you include in your fantasy golf foursome?
Neil: Moe Norman, Mike Weir, either of my sons.
Kathryn: Mike Weir (he’s from Bright’s Grove and I used to ride my bike there to cash in pop bottles before Mikey was born), Anikka Sorenstam and Amy McBride (Phil’s wife).

What is your favourite golf club?
Neil: My Taylormade Burner Driver.
Kathryn: My Nike Sasquatch Driver (a “Neil reject” that ended up living in my golf bag).

What is your favourite golf course outside Saanich?
Neil & Kathryn: The hole we’re pictured in below... Tobiano, Kamloops.

What's Happening at Jawl Development Corporation

Jawl Properties Ltd


Karen Jawl
Sustainability Team Lead

2009 Power Smart Excellence Award Winner
Karen Jawl, the Sustainability Team Lead of Jawl Properties, a Victoria-based commercial property management firm, wanted to make her company’s buildings as sustainable as possible. Led by Karen, Jawl Properties’ Green Team started seeking energy efficiency opportunities in the company’s 14 buildings and, in 2008, completed retrofits in half of the portfolio. But Karen knew that physical improvements were only half of the solution. The other half was inspiring all building users, employees and tenants alike, to adopt behavioural changes to achieve the goal of making the facilities truly energy efficient. With Karen’s lead, Jawl Properties implemented a Workplace Conservation Awareness Program to engage employees and tenants. Through an array of marketing and communication channels, this initiative has already fostered a significant culture change toward energy conservation and the resulting energy savings complement those achieved through the retrofit projects. For Jawl Properties, being a leader in commercial property management means uniting the power of people’s awareness with the benefits of physical improvements.
