Burnaby school on hit list

Ryan Hirakida directed a lip dub video to help build community at Burnaby Central secondary when staff and students moved into the new building.
Central ‘lipdub’ creates school bonding More than 11,500 views on YouTube Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
It’s perhaps ¿tting that Burnaby Central secondary’s lipdub video project (http://bit.ly/JMqYmh) started out as two small groups of students with the same idea banding together to make it happen. The result was the ¿rst such project at a Burnaby school, one which helped bond together 1,000 students and teachers during their ¿rst year in a new building.
A lipdub is a music video in which participants lipsynch to a song while the camera captures the entire thing in one continuous take, or at least appears to. Grade 12 Central student Ryan Hirakida, 18, director of the project, said he and members of the school’s student council thought of doing one after seeing the impressive effort by University of British Columbia students. That lipdub (http://bit.ly/ eo1NWl) has so far had 1.7 million views on YouTube since ¿rst being posted about a year ago. Central’s project got off the ground

last fall when a couple of students from the school’s media class approached Hirakida with the idea to see if there were any student council resources available. “The main focus of ours was just to bring the school together,” he said. “We know it was a brand-new school and we wanted to showcase the building a little bit and also create that sense of belonging to the school, I guess. It felt like we were just students in a brand-new building that didn’t feel connected yet.” Planning culminated in two days of shooting, the ¿rst for three-and-a-half
hours after school and the second, which included all the teachers, for one hour during school time. It took some explaining what a lipdub is, Hirakida said, but ultimately, people responded to the call to “wear your craziest out¿t and just show up.” Hence, the dinosaur and Rubik’s cube costumes. One of the biggest challenges was managing such a large group of people, 200 in the main part of the video and over 1,000 during the bit at the end which was shot in the main commons area.

A Burnaby school was on the hit list of Angus David Mitchell, who was killed in a shootout with police last week, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). Mitchell was the prime suspect in the double murder at Royal Oak Sushi House and the attempted murder of his former landlord, both in Burnaby. On Wednesday, a day after revealing Mitchell had the makings of a hit list of six people and six businesses in his minivan, IHIT revealed more details. While the names of individuals and businesses will not be released, said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound in a press release, they have been broken down by municipality. In Burnaby, he planned to target one restaurant, an individual and a school. In New Westminster, there was one person on his list. Surrey had the most targets, with ¿ve—a group home, a restaurant, a gym, a school and one individual. A White Rock security business was also on the former security guard’s list. In Vancouver, Mitchell was targeting a coffee house and one person. In Coquitlam, it was one person and a landscaping business. In Port Coquitlam, it was one individual. burnabynewsleader.com

Lipdub helped stoke school pride continued

“I think we underestimated the size of that task ... It was de¿nitely a lot more work than any of us could have imagined,” he said with a laugh of the 20-member committee that oversaw the project. There were four sections to the video, almost seamlessly stitched together, and each section required seven or eight takes. “What you see on the screen is de¿nitely a lot less hectic than the actual day of ¿lming.” Since it’s been posted to YouTube, Central’s lipdub has had more than 11,500 views. After sending the web link to the students, they passed it on to their parents, grandparents and other relatives. Comments have even started coming in from Central alumni. The project was entered into the ¿lm festival put on by Burnaby’s District Student Advisory Council in April where it won for best picture. Already Hirakida has heard of other Burnaby schools following their lead, with Burnaby North’s effort already in production and Alpha in the planning stages. Central principal Garth Errico said the lipdub has brought a lot of pride to the school and showcased all parts of the new building to people both inside and outside the school, as well as its teams, clubs and cultural diversity. “It’s paid huge dividends in terms of relationships between students and staff,” Errico said. As for Hirakida, he sees it as a legacy project. “Just having that one video on YouTube, it’ll be a permanent thing that people can look back to, ¿ve, 10 years down the road and still feel that connectedness to the school and the people that they were with. I think just to do that alone is more than we could have asked for.” twitter.com/WandaChow

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9
ADRIAN RAESIDE:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Grads face challenges It’s grad season. High school seniors in Burnaby and New Westminster are in the ¿nal days of their formative education before moving on to post secondary studies, perhaps travel or maybe the work world. Simon Fraser University, BCIT and Douglas College are holding grand ceremonies to bestow degrees and diplomas. It’s a time of transition for students, as they emerge from the schools, teachers and friends they’ve known for so many years and step into new worlds, with new challenges, new demands. It’s a time for them to reÀect on what they’ve accomplished and to begin charting the path for the next phase of their lives. The only thing certain is the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Economies in North America and Europe are sputtering. The booms in China and India have quieted. Unemployment is up, wages are down, the social safety net is slowly unraveling as governments around the world can no longer sustain the cost of helping their citizens through tough times, or into retirement. Some experts say we’re on the brink of a global recession. But none of that will dull the gleaming smiles of those grads as they march up the aisle to receive their parchment, or diminish their pride of accomplishment. After all, every generation of grads seems to have challenges to face, whether it’s the rising cost of education, changing technology, diminishing job markets, inÀation, deÀation, debt, sometimes even war. Somehow, they persevere. Many thrive. Most will become upstanding citizens, carving out their little corner of the world. Some will become leaders, improving everyone’s world. For that we thank them all, and invite them into the world with open arms.

To search or not to search I have been on quite a trip with my cousin these past few months. She is actually not really my cousin. She was adopted, which has been the focus of this journey. Thora is 59 and was adopted at birth – presumably the child of a teenage pregnancy in the ’50s when it was unheard of for young moms to keep their babies. When the red tape around adoption ¿les was loosened a few years ago, I wasn’t sure if that was a good idea. I was visualizing a total stranger walking up to the door of his or her birth mom and saying, “Hi. I’m your daughter (or son)!” I also wondered how the adoptive parents would feel. Would they say “Now, after we’ve raised you, you don’t want us to be your parents anymore?” Happily, I discovered that the government has more common sense than I had given them credit for. By watching my cousin start her search, I learned that while information about birth parents and adopted children is available, there is a procedure for acquiring it.
Pauline Buck Details aren’t just handed out willy-nilly. Thora lived a happy, normal life. She was adopted by a loving family that was comprised of many aunts, uncles and cousins, and while she knew she was adopted, she never gave it much thought. In her early teens, she discovered she had a lovely singing voice, was a natural on the guitar and liked to write her own music. Once in a while, she would wonder where this talent came from, but the curiosity was Àeeting. When Thora reached her late 40s, she and her husband received the devastating news that she had developed Parkinson’s disease, a turn of events that really got her wondering about her biological background. However, she hesitated to start the search. She did not want to hurt

her family’s feelings, but she was starting to get anxious about it. She felt like she was on an emotional roller coaster. To search or not to search? In August 2011, after both her adoptive parents had passed away, she took the plunge. The process involved contacting Vital Statistics, receiving her birth mother’s name, then contacting the Adoption Reunion Society to request an active search. Three months later, Thora was a bundle of nerves, having heard nothing and worrying about “who” she would discover and what the rest of the family would think. It turned out the rest of the family was 100 per cent behind her on this. In February 2012, word came. The Adoption Reunion Society reported they had located a woman who is also the daughter of Thora’s birth mother. Would she like them to contact that person to receive permission to pass on her information? This is where I started to feel OK about the system. They don’t give “searchers” personal information about family

members they have located. It all has to go through proper privacy channels. Within a week, Thora, who by this time was beside herself with excitement, had spoken with and emailed her new “sister.” She learned there is music in their family but no Parkinson’s disease; there are three other half-sisters and there was a baby brother who died in infancy. Their mom had passed away 17 years ago. The ¿rst sister contacted lives in L.A. but used to live in Vancouver’s West End along with another sister who still lives in Vancouver. One is on Vancouver Island. One is in Alberta. The four women in Canada have met, hugged, cried, laughed and amazed each other with their similarities. The sister in L.A. has shared all this over Skype, email and telephone. A meeting was planned to happen, after this column was written.

COMMENT
Friday, June 8, 2012 NewsLeader A7
EMAIL letters@burnabynewsleader.com
It’s time to look at the loom The poet Kahlil Gibran once wrote that “…when the black thread breaks, the weaver shall look into the whole cloth, and he shall examine the loom also.” The decade-long violation of the teachers’ charter rights is a vivid breakage in the cloth of our educational system, but have we taken a careful look at the loom? Did teachers have any signi¿cant autonomy to begin with? They aren’t allowed to talk about it, but as things stand, teachers are constrained in many fundamental ways—almost like cogs operating in an oppressive machine. Besides being reliant upon the caprice of ideological politicians, as we have seen, teachers are obliged to impose the arbitrary scholastic agenda of the ministry on their students. For example, teachers are reluctantly administering the sadistic and punishing rigmarole of compulsory memorization, assignments, testing and grading. It is enough to read the articles in the BCTF magazine, or to speak with a member privately, in order to imagine how wonderful our schools would be if the relevant staff were
self-managing their own affairs and workplace, as well as the educational resources of the government. The youth of Metro Vancouver would be among the most enlightened and cultured in the world, their schools as free and non-coercive as Tolstoy’s Yasnaya Polyana or Ferrer’s Modern School, and generations to come wouldn’t be conditioned to fear books and Àowers! Vinoba Bhave, a teacher and close friend of Mahatma Gandhi, once wrote that “[t]he work of education should be in the hands of men of wisdom, but governments have got it in their grasp...” The civil liberties of our teachers are under attack, so why aren’t we taking a look at the MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER loom? The colour of its thread? The opening of the new Willingdon overpass Elias Ishak will create change to the interchange with Burnaby Highway 1.
TOO DANGEROUS Re: First phase of new Willingdon interchange complete Yet the crazies coming off the highway from the west are still cutting across three lanes to turn
left on Canada Way. It’s actually more dangerous now because there is a shorter merging area. I drive over the overpass four times a day from north to south Burnaby, and it’s like taking my life in my
hands each time at that spot. This part needs ¿xing ASAP before someone gets killed. Jennifer Baumbusch •••••
Jennifer, if you look at the construction diagram on the Port Mann/Highway 1 project website (www.pmh1project.com) it shows what the temporary overpass will look like in the next few weeks, including the new traf¿c light that has yet to be installed and will prevent the current cutting across lanes. Jonathan Dotto —online comment burnabynewsleader.com
A BETTER DESIGN
Before the exit design and location was even considered and decided upon at Highway 1 and Canada Way, I made a simple, safer suggestion as to how to effect an egress from this location. It was ignored. Consider and please visualise the exit as I proposed. The south, east and/or westbound traf¿c from Vancouver or the North
Shore would travel two blocks east of (under) Willingdon Avenue, to Beta Avenue, on land owned by the province and turn right onto Beta Avenue and stop at Canada Way lights (beside BCAA). Drivers would then turn left to the east, right to the west (aka Willingdon) or westbound on Canada Way. I am only thinking of the lives saved and enhanced safety this simple roadwork design would have provided us all. Peter Dickinson-Starkey North Burnaby

A new wasteto-energy incinerator in Metro Vancouver, like this one in Burnaby, could be privately Ànanced. NEWSLEADER FILE
Metro starts down P3 The modern look for less road for new incinerator D Private Ànancing of WTE pledged to qualify for federal grant Jeff Nagel Black Press
Metro Vancouver’s proposed waste-to-energy project may end up being privately ¿nanced if the regional district’s application to Ottawa for federal funding as a private-public partnership is approved. The application for P3 Canada funding has split directors on the regional board, with some warning that building a new incinerator as a P3 could dramatically drive up the costs for taxpayers. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the situation is reminiscent of the Canada Line, where private investors borrowed the money to build the $2-billion rapid transit line at much higher interest rates than if it had been publicly ¿nanced. FAVOURABLE INTEREST RATES
She noted the region gets favourable interest rates through its membership in the Municipal Finance Authority. “I have no problem with doing a P3 for design-build,” Jackson
said. “But ¿nance I think is not a wise choice. All that money and interest has to be paid back and the taxpayer ends up paying back a higher rate of interest.” P3 Canada-eligible projects must give the private partner not just a design-build role but also one of either operating, maintaining or ¿nancing it. Metro’s application proposes a design-build-¿nance-operate P3, because projects with the most private sector involvement are expected to be preferred for funding. NOT BOUND TO MODEL
Board vice-chair Richard Walton supported the decision, saying Metro won’t yet be bound to that model and could revise it later. Metro staff and consultants are still determining a recommended business model for the new plant ahead of a call for proposals from potential partners. But Walton said the region had to apply by June 15 to have a shot at a grant. “My view is you keep all those doors open going forward,” he said. The P3 Canada fund is to distribute more than $525 million by the end of 2013, with grants limited to 25 per cent of a project’s capital cost.
Metro’s current waste-toenergy plant in south Burnaby was developed as a designbuild-operate P3, with the region ¿nancing it and retaining ownership.
STUDIES AND CONSULTATION
Metro Vancouver still must carry out extensive studies and consultation with the Fraser Valley Regional District, where there are concerns a new incinerator would worsen air quality in the constrained airshed. Metro is also far from deciding where a new waste-toenergy plant might be built and whether it uses conventional incineration or some alternative technology. The region downsized the plan earlier this year, estimating it now needs extra disposal capacity of 250,000 to 400,000 tonnes per year – down from 500,000 to 600,000 – in light of declining garbage volumes. The Metro application will have at least one more local competitor for the same pool of federal money. The City of Surrey is also applying to the P3 Canada fund to help ¿nance an organic biofuels plant it plans to build to serve the region at Metro’s Port Kells transfer station.

TransLink is accused of wasting more than $523,000 in 2009 to put up 13 video screens at SkyTrain station entrances that now mostly do not work. The LCD monitors and networked content players cost more than $40,000 each, according to the results of a Freedom of Information request ¿led by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). The video screens were to communicate SkyTrain system emergencies, closures and other information to transit riders, ending the practice of staff scrawling messages on sandwich boards outside stations. “Any way you slice it, $40,000 for a TV screen in this day and age is mind-boggling waste,” said Jordan Bateman, the CTF’s B.C. director. He said the only working screens were at Stadium Station when he recently checked them,
while those at Scott Road, Edmonds and CommercialBroadway had vanished and ones at Lougheed were there but not operating. TransLink records show the Scott Road screens were damaged by vandals while others were ofÀine as of August 2011 due to various technical failures. Three quarters of the money for the Station Entrance Emergency Information Panel (SEEIP) project came from a $391,000 federal Transit-Secure grant. But Bateman said it was not good use of money earmarked to improve safety and security, regardless of whether taxpayers paid for it via the federal government or through TransLink. The video screens at the entrances to the ¿ve stations are different from the more than 160 screens on all SkyTrain and Canada Line station platforms that can also transmit urgent messages. Those were installed by TransLink’s advertising contractor at their cost and TransLink receives a share of the advertising revenue.
“The taxpayers didn’t have to pay a dime for that,” said Byron Montgomery, general manager for Lamar Transit Advertising. Asked whether TransLink had tried to partner with Lamar on the station entrance screens, which were installed around the same time, he said they were separate initiatives. Bateman said sandwich board messages may not be elegant but they work. He said it’s harder for passengers at a station entrance that has been closed due to a problem to peer through a grille at a video monitor inside. TransLink of¿cials said several of the out-of-service monitors are either being repaired or are temporarily covered up because of station renovations. “This was put in as a safety measure,” TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin said. He said plans to add more of the station entrance video screens in 2013 are under review, adding TransLink now makes much greater use of social media in communicating with passengers than it did four years ago.

RTScorner Vues, hues and a heron in blue
T
his month the Deer Lake Gallery features the work of Silke Spodzeija. A designer/art director who decided to become a stayat-home parent, Spodzeija’s work is unashamedly selfexpressive. At ¿rst glance the lovely colour ¿elds seem to be purely decorative and could easily be featured in a contemporary room in a home decorating magazine. Many borrow a device used in Japanese sumi painting in which a large space is populated with a small highly- detailed image in one corner of the ¿eld.
Linda Lewis The images are often nests, some ¿lled with eggs, others with images of people such as a child in a dunce cap. The darker overtones document the artist dealing with issues of childhood from the point of view of the artist as mother to the artist as child in an unsettling painting with a white-washed image of the artist’s own mother. My personal favourite is the enigmatic Lost in the Fog or as I call it, Red Couch with Blue Heron where the heron is perched on the back of the couch as it dissolves into the canvas.
We help get your life back to normal.
Lost in the Fog, by Silke Spodzeija, part of the show Between Vues & Hues, on now until June 24 at the Burnaby Arts Council’s Deer Lake Gallery.
The artist claims this painting documents thoughts about the environment but I think it works on a number of different levels, as it should. The show, entitled Between Views & Hues will be up from June 1-24. Deer Lake Gallery is located at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. and is generally open from noon-4 p.m. every day except Mondays. The artist will be in attendance on Sunday, June 10, for an informal artist talk.

Metro Vancouver mayors had no legal leg to stand on in April when they voted to rescind a property tax increase for TransLink that was originally passed last fall as a backup measure to ¿nance transit expansion. TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly made that point in a recent Mayors Council meeting, saying he could not allow the perception to remain that mayors could at any time revoke a legally binding supplement they previously approved. “In my view the resolution that was

passed has no legal force,” Crilly said in an interview. “I believe TransLink is obliged to deliver the services, projects and programs that were approved in the 2012 Moving Forward plan.” TransLink could not reasonably make plans if its funding sources were not binding and Crilly said he would never have let the mayors vote on the supplement if they could later change their minds and reverse it. The mayors’ April 12 vote to cancel the $30 million property tax led TransLink to freeze several expansion projects, including the planned Highway 1 express bus service over the Port Mann Bridge and a new B-Line express bus down King
George Highway in Surrey. The decisions came after the province refused to grant new funding sources for TransLink. But Crilly’s view that the retraction is not valid does not necessarily mean the tax hike and the bus service upgrades are back on again. TransLink of¿cials, acting in line with the mayors’ intent, have indicated they could draw up a revised supplement that replaces the existing one – eliminating the $23 property tax increase per average home over the next two years as well as projects that can’t be funded by other means. The original supplement approved the two-cent gas tax hike in April and the property

tax hike was to kick in only if the province and mayors failed to agree on a new TransLink funding source, which is what happened. Crilly, however, said he’s still not sure how the property tax can legally be unwound. “There is no reverse gear,” he said, noting that funding increases that mayors approve in a supplement become locked into TransLink’s base plan (over which mayors have no vote) for future years. But at the same time, Crilly said he hasn’t found any enforcement mechanism in the legislation that could compel TransLink to raise its property tax, as authorized, to deliver the promised services. One way out of the problem would be if renewed talks between the mayors and the province authorize a new funding source, such as the proposed vehicle levy shot down by the premier this spring. Barring a breakthrough there, auditors dispatched by the province would have to ¿nd large amounts of savings within TransLink, avoiding the need for the tax. TransLink must craft any new plan it will take to the mayors by Nov. 1. Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese, who wants the Highway 1 RapidBus to go ahead, said he’s willing to wait to see what the auditors uncover this summer. But in the absence of a ¿nancial miracle, he said TransLink must proceed with its original plan, backstopped by the tax hike. “If there are no sources of funding I feel very strongly that they need to go back to the original supplement, and use the property tax to carry on with the expansion plan, including the RapidBus in Langley.”

B.C. to add 190 nurse practitioner jobs The B.C. government is spending $22.2 million to fund 190 new nurse practitioner positions around the province over the next three years. B.C. established nurse practitioner training in 2005, with a master’s degree program that allows registered nurses to take on many of the functions traditionally reserved for doctors. The health ministry
says there are currently 225 nurse practitioners registered with the College of Registered Nurses of B.C., but 72 are not working in that capacity and another 30 are graduating from the program this year. Health Minister Mike de Jong said the new program is designed to close that gap. The positions are seen as important in shifting the health care system
from an acute care model to a preventive and chronic care model that better matches the actual demand and B.C.’s aging population. Government passed legislation in 2011 to allow nurse practitioners to provide their full scope of practice, including diagnosis, prescribing drugs, ordering tests and treating common medical conditions. tÁetcher@blackpress.ca

Although allowing people to run around regional parks with fake guns would bring revenue, Metro Vancouver now feels that allowing paintball might not be a good idea.
Business proposal for fake gun battles dies with a splat Jeff Nagel jnagel@blackpress.ca
A proposal to let gun-toting camouÀaged paintball players run amok in regional parks has been shot down by Metro Vancouver as too warlike and an inappropriate use of public land. Most members of Metro’s environment and parks committee said they couldn’t support the request from an unnamed company, even though it would have brought in some rental income. “You’re trying to shoot somebody in the chest or in the head,” Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said of the extreme sport where players dressed as soldiers ¿re guns loaded with paint pellets. “It’s absolutely not the kind of value we should be promoting.” Vancouver Coun. Heather Deal, the committee’s chair, said she loves paintball but said a large section of a regional park would have to be fenced and screened from other users, effectively making it offlimits to them. “What it’s actually doing is simulating going out and killing someone,” said Port Coquitlam Coun. Darrell Penner. “To me, it’s not appropriate for a public park.” But Richmond Coun. Harold Steves and Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin voted against the motion rejecting the concept, saying they wanted staff to at least consider what areas might be appropriate and test how much revenue might come in. Steves likened paintball to the wholesome capture-the-Àag game played outdoors at camps in his childhood. “The whole idea that this is wrong is just a perception about people with weapons,” he said.. “I’m not saying paintball is the right ¿t for our parks,” Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin said. “I don’t know. We haven’t seen the proposal.” She dismissed concerns that paintball players leaving a park with unspent ammunition might go on to vandalize the surrounding neighbourhood. Metro staff did not say what park or parks had been suggested for the activity. A staff report warned it might generate conÀict with other nature-loving park visitors over the use of mock weapons, vegetation might be trampled and paint splatters or spent pellets might deface trees and the landscape. Visitors or neighbours might even mistake the pretend soldiers and their guns for the real thing, it said. The report concluded the disadvantages outweighed the bene¿ts of increased park visits, promoting more active recreation and “modest” rent fees that would be charged to operators.

GVHBA’s 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes
Getting some renovation ideas The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will hold its 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes on June 10, sponsored by FortisBC. Starting at 10 a.m., the public will be able to tour eight professionally renovated homes in Burnaby, North Vancouver, Surrey and Vancouver. “Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. “Project values range from $135,000 to more than $800,000, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own
renovations.” The renovated homes include a 1950s bungalow, a 1920s heritage home, a bathroom makeover, a basement suite conversion, a wide-ranging interior and exterior renovation and a whole-house transformation. Admission is $10 for adults, and free for children 17 and under. A passport allowing you entrance into every home will be available at the homes. The homes will be open until 4 p.m., and it is recommended to map out your route as the homes will not be available for showings before or after the event. To find the list of participating homes, visit www.gvhba.org.
the elegant large-format porcelain tile flooring continues on the tub/shower surround. A unique feature of Omega is the thicker concrete floor slab and tripleglazed windows that are an integral part of every home. The floors feature more insulation and a thicker cement platform between the floors, which combine to make for an improved building structure. The triple-glazed windows help to isolate exterior sound, so you won’t be bothered by the bustling city noise. Both of these things are demonstrated at the Concord sales centre in Richmond. Guests are invited to jump on the floor to feel
the difference between the standard concrete floors and the Omega floors, and check out the difference in sound that the triple-glazing offers, in comparison to a standard window. If it’s convenience you’re looking for, Omega is certainly the place for you. Located in the heart of Richmond, you are just minutes away from transit, shopping, restaurants, recreation and education. The Vancouver International Airport is about 10 minutes from home, and downtown Vancouver is less than 20 minutes away. All remaining homes are under $399,900. For more information, visit omegaliving.ca or call 604-233-7748.
‘The ultimate low-rise development’
Finding some inspiration at Concord Pacific’s Omega by Kerry Vital
European-inspired architecture comes to Richmond with Concord Pacific’s newest development, Omega. “(In) the Greek alphabet ‘Omega’ is often used to symbolize greatness and the ultimate,” says Concord VicePresident of Marketing Grace Man. “Omega, with its superior construction and refined design details, will raise the bar of similar medium-density projects and become the ultimate low-rise development.” With 245 one- and two-bedroom suites in two buildings, Omega has something for everyone, though Man says the one-bedroom plus study suites are already sold out. The homes range from 546 to 1,042 square feet. The entire development has a European feel, with a lush central courtyard, water features, stone pathways and a children’s play area. “The Omega buildings (are) a modern interpretation of the romantic European architectural design,” says Man. “It emphasizes on a symmetrical form and (is) set in a 20,000 squarefoot lush, green garden. The lit pathways, water features and secluded courtyard seating provide a soothing and tranquil environment.” Inside, the condominums include nine-foot ceilings in most of the living areas and a central heating and cooling system. There is an open balcony or terrace with each suite, and wide-plank laminate flooring throughout the main living area and flex space (depending on the floorplan) is complemented by your choice of two colour schemes – Impression and Reflection. The kitchens have plenty of
thoughtful little touches, from the soft-close hardware on the doors to the waste recycling bin and sliding basket under the sink. The engineered quartz stone countertops and large-format porcelain tile backsplash combine to make for an elegant picture with the stainless-steel appliances, while the laminate cabinetry with open glass display shelving and under-cabinet lighting becomes the cherry on the top of this perfect kitchen sundae. Those little touches continue in the bathrooms, with their engineered quartz stone countertops and a custom medicine cabinet with a mirror, shelves and built-in lighting. The recessed pot lighting is universally flattering, while
“
The Omega buildings (are) a modern interpretation of the romantic European architectural design,” says Concord Vice-President of Marketing Grace Man.
