When it comes to heading back to school, it’s all in the family for the Singhs of Burnaby. Yes, 11-year-old Varda is just starting Grade 6 at Maywood Community School, and Garima, 12, is entering Grade 8 at Burnaby South secondary. Then there’s dad Vijay, a pathologist who, because his medical degree from India isn’t recognized in Canada, is in the midst of studying for all his medical exams a second time, to be followed by a redo of his residency requirements. Now, for the first back-to-school season ever, mom Anshu, 40, is joining in. Having earned a bachelor of arts degree in India herself, she’s been mainly a stayat-home mom since marrying. She speaks English well (despite her protests) but after the family moved to Canada a year ago, following stints in Fiji and Malaysia, Anshu decided there was room for improvement.

Road rage incident culminates in dueling cellphone cameras One male under investigation for having a knife, no one threatened
Both parties were detained and questioned by police with one male being arrested, interviewed and released on a promise to appear in court at a later date. Burnaby RCMP are investigating a potential charge of “possession of a weapon for a purpose dangerous to the public.”
A road rage incident that ended up in Burnaby Tuesday night resulted in police investigating one male for being in possession of a knife. But, stressed Burnaby RCMP Corp. Rick Skolrood, the incident sounds worse than it was. The altercation began in Richmond and ended with the drivers of both vehicles stopping at the parking lot of a business at the corner of Canada Way and 10th Avenue. The two males and one female involved got out and argued, with both sides taking photos of each other with their cellphones, said Skolrood. “One party thought the other cut them off, each party thought the other was driving erratically.” Employees of the business where they stopped called police after they thought they saw a firearm. That turned out to be unfounded, said Skolrood. Police did not find a gun but one of the males admitted he had a ceremonial knife on him but said he never intended to use it. “Neither of the parties felt threatened by any weapon at all.”
Arson suspected in car fire Burnaby RCMP are investigating a case of arson after being called to a car fire early Monday morning in the Lake City industrial area. Just after midnight on Sept. 3, officers responded to the incident on Enterprise Street where Burnaby firefighters were extinguishing a fire to a 2004 Hyundai video-online] four-door burnabynewsleader.com sedan. A male from Burnaby later admitted himself to Burnaby Hospital with minor burns to his face. According to a witness report, a dark-skinned male, dressed in dark clothing, was seen fleeing the scene in a grey 2006 Honda four-door sedan. Burnaby RCMP continue to investigate and ask that anyone with any information on the arson incident call them at 604-294-7922. twitter.com/WandaChow

Burnaby woman wins $25 million in lottery Burnaby resident Lesley Vickars was away on vacation when unbeknownst to her, she became a bazillionaire. OK, not that much, but $25 million is certainly nothing to sniff at. Vickars was the mystery winner of half the $50-million Lotto Max jackpot drawn on Aug. 24. The first $25 million was claimed by a winner in Ontario but it was over a week before Vickars claimed her prize.

Coats for Kids kicks off ninth campaign Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
The first year of the Rotary Coats for Kids campaign nine years ago, organizers distributed 40 coats. Last year, the program gave out 1,700 coats, and the numbers continue to grow, said Darlene Broadhead, president of the Burnaby Metrotown Rotary Club. Started originally by South Burnaby Neighbourhood House (SBNH), the project is now run by the Metrotown Rotary club and each fall it becomes almost a full-time endeavour for all its members. “Every year more people find out about it,” she said. The club seeks donations of new and gently-used coats, and purchases new discounted coats with monetary donations. To start with this fall, it has 577 coats left over from last year’s drive. That may seem like a lot but, Broadhead stressed, to distribute 1,700 coats means they actually need about 2,500 to accommodate different sizes, ages and genders.
The program serves children from babies to 18-year-olds. Schools identify families who are in need of winter coats and they’re invited to choose their own coats from a truck filled with racks of them. As people can drop off coat donations at all branches of Burnaby Public Library (BPL), the library bedbug scare last year necessitated a new protocol, said Broadhead, adding no bedbugs were ever found in their coats. Donated coats are now all laundered and dried in commercial dryers, at temperatures hot enough to kill any potential bedbugs, before being distributed. That’s all thanks to Edmonds Coin Laundry and Dry Cleaning, which donates the labour for the cleaning services. Zeemac Truck Rentals donates the truck for the six weeks of distribution, and Freeway Mini Storage donates year-round storage. Broadhead noted that any donated coats the program can’t use are passed on to other local agencies for their clients or
programs. Rotary Coats for Kids will be kicking off the campaign at BPL’s Summer Reading Club medal ceremony and pancake breakfast being held Saturday, Sept. 8, 8:30 to 11 a.m., at Civic Square, next to the Bob Prittie Metrotown branch library. Organizers will be promoting the program and collecting new and gently-used coats. After Sept. 15, coats can be dropped off at any BPL branch, the three Staples stores in Burnaby and South Burnaby Neighbourhood House, 4845 Imperial St., Burnaby. Coats will be collected until the end of the year, with distribution taking place between Oct. 15 and Nov. 30. Monetary donations of a minimum $20 are tax receiptable. They should be sent to and made payable to South Burnaby Neighbourhood House and clearly marked “Rotary Coats for Kids.” Info: Darlene Broadhead at 604-323-6756, SBNH at 604-431-0400, or burnabymetrotownrotary.org.

ADRIAN RAESIDE:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Protect children Canada’s crime rate is at a 30-year low, but despite this good news story, people still feel the justice system is too lax on criminals. Recent sentencings, like that of shamed senior RCMP officer Monty Robinson, give credence to people’s cries of foul. For obstructing justice in a hit-andrun death, he received a small conditional sentence and a temporary curfew. This is in contrast to the sentencing of the Stanley Cup rioters. Some young men being sentenced for taking part in the riot are receiving seven to nine months jail time for their part. This may seem either harsh or just in the eyes of the public. But in comparison, an Abbotsford man recently convicted of child pornography received only 18 months. A conditional sentence is a common sentence for the crime, even if the perpetrator is not just looking at child porn but distributing it. Convicted pedophiles usually do see the inside of a jail cell, but sentences range and often aren’t longer than two years. It is particularly troubling that in this study on crime rates, the offence which saw the largest increase was child pornography, which jumped 40 per cent in 2011 from 2010, say police. The judicial system doesn’t appear to take sexual crimes against children as seriously as it does rioters. The province wanted to send a strong message that those who riot will pay for the crime they committed. Our judges have responded and, by B.C. judicial standards, are handing down harsh sentences. If our government can carry that kind of influence with the B.C. judicial system to send a message of deterrence for rioting, why not send a stronger message to protect children from predators? – Black Press

Building pride as a stay-at-home mom “So, what do you do?” One thing I’ve noticed since my transition from a reporter on maternity leave to an official stayat-home mom is how I answer that question. I’m ashamed to say, I respond a bit sheepishly: “I’m a stay-athome mom...” And there’s always a “but.” “But I used to work as a reporter.” “But I do some freelance work.” “But I’ll go back to work after we have a second child once he/ she is old enough for preschool.” Why do I feel the need to justify to strangers and friends my choice to “just” be a mother? Often, it’s when I think about my high-achieving female friends that I feel a stab of guilt.

A close call for a local family My husband Ed and I took our family up to Birkenhead Lake campground last weekend, from Aug 25-28. We were expecting a nice relaxing weekend out in the “wilderness” but that is not what happened. The second night there my 13-year-old daughter Nicole asked her Dad to walk to the outhouse with her around 12:30 a.m. On their way back, they noticed flames in between two campsites. They both stopped and stared before realizing what they were seeing. Ed walked into the bushes and yelled for Nicole to go and get me. Poor terrified Nicole went running down the road in her pink housecoat and purple sparkly slippers screaming “Forest fire! Forest fire!” I grabbed my shoes, and ran down to Ed and was in shock to see flames between two campsites and four people from the campsite nearby desperately helping Ed fill pots and run back to the flames. I ran back to our campsite and woke up our camp-mate Marty to help put out the fire. We grabbed
more pots and bowls and ran back to the fire. Ed had broke the branches that were flaming and stomped them out, but they were now left with a giant cedar log glowing red. So they grabbed some axes and chopped it up. Nicole and I then jumped in our car in search of the park ranger. I didn’t notice the trailer next to the building that I was knocking on, and wondered why they weren’t answering. So I went back in the car and started honking the horn. Poor guy stumbled out of his trailer and when I told him there was a forest fire in the campground he jumped into action. I headed back to the campsite, and found they had the fire out. No more flames, but still tons of hot spots and glowing embers. The park rangers took over and worked on it, chopping and digging and soaking the tree for another two hours. The forest service people came the next day, and told us that if we had left it for another 15 minutes, the entire campground would have been evacuated, and
the fire would have been beyond the point of being able to put it out without proper fire apparatus. Being in D’Arcy, there is no cell service, so we would have been hooped! So thank God for small bladders. Nicole saved our weekend, and the campsite! Another exciting family adventure. Judy LaPointe, Burnaby
Best for whom? Re: Riding proposal has been tried before (Letters, NewsLeader, Aug. 31 Nothing would be easier than to put twice as many words on paper to oppose Bill Brassington’s reasons for keeping our electoral boundaries the way they are. One would still have to conclude that Mr. Brassington dislikes the idea of creating a new riding called Burnaby-Seymour because it might upset his apple cart and result in sending one less NDP MP to Ottawa. I, on the other hand, like the idea of creating a new Burnaby-Seymour riding for that very reason.
Mr. Brassington’s letter follows earlier comments made by our two sitting Burnaby MPs who sounded equally concerned—not necessarily about what’s good for the community at large, as usual, but about what’s good for their party. Although I have my own objectives, as disclosed above, I hope the commission will make a ruling that is fair to British Columbia, instead of what’s best for individual politicians. Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby
ministers just doing what ministers do Why are the media making such a big deal about the decision of three BC Liberal cabinet ministers not to run in the next provincial election? The media act as though this has never happened before and seem to be suggesting that something earthshaking is going on. Well, I’ve got news for the media: The political history of British Columbia shows that this is the normal state of affairs prior to every provincial election.
Prior to the last provincial election in 2009, for example, there were six BC Liberal cabinet ministers who decided not to run again. These were Carole Taylor, Claude Richmond, Richard Neufeld, Olga Illich, Rick Thorpe and Tom Christensen. Likewise, in 2005, five BC Liberal cabinet ministers decided not to run again. These were Gary Collins, Geoff Plant, Christy Clark, Sandy Santori, and Gulzar Cheema. Currently there are 18 people in the BC Liberal cabinet and only three have said they are not going to run again. By my calculation that means 15 cabinet ministers (at this point) are planning to run again in the election next May. So, why have the media failed to make note of this important and much more significant fact? I can only conclude that the media have been having a very slow news month and as a result are looking for almost anything they can jazz up and make into something resembling news.

The Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations joined together Saturday to paddle canoes on Burrard Inlet, from Ambleside Park to Cates Park, where they signed a declaration to protect the waterway, the Salish Sea. Along the way, they performed a water ceremony in front of Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby. It’s the company’s proposed expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline and the resulting increased oil tanker traffic in the inlet that the two First Nations agreed in their
declaration to work together to stop. “By signing this declaration, our Nations are calling on people from all cultures to stand with us to protect our environment for future generations,” said Chief Justin George of Tsleil-Waututh Nation, whose traditional territory includes Burnaby. “This celebration reminds us all that there is room for many paddlers in one canoe. When we paddle together, with one heart, one mind and one spirit, great things can happen.”
BCGEU strike not likely the last tom fletcher
tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Provincial government employees staged their largest one-day strike so far Wednesday to press for a bigger wage increase, with two thirds of the workforce off the job at ministry offices, liquor stores and ICBC offices province-wide. Both the government and the B.C. Government and Services Employees’ Union remained unwilling to budge from their positions after negotiations broke down over wage increases this spring. The union executive is meeting next week to consider further strike action this fall. Two earlier one-day strikes targeted liquor warehouses and then selected resource ministry offices in the B.C. Interior. Government negotiators offered raises of two and 1.5 per cent for the next two years, then withdrew the offer after the union staged the first strike. BCGEU chief negotiator David Vipond said Wednesday the wage offer has been tabled and withdrawn three times since talks began early this year, a tactic he called “peeka-boo bargaining.” And after three years without a wage increase, he
said the union is sticking to its demand for 3.5 per cent in the first year and a cost-of-living raise of about 2.5 per cent in year two. “They want us to reduce our real income over this contract, and we’ve already taken a five-per-cent hit,” Vipond said in an interview. “So to try and chisel us again with a skinny deal doesn’t make sense to us. We want to at least keep up with inflation and gain a little of what we have lost.” Premier Christy Clark unveiled her new cabinet lineup in Victoria Wednesday as BCGEU pickets circled government offices downtown. Both Clark and Mike de Jong, the new finance minister, said they have no intention of increasing the burden on taxpayers to provide bigger raises to provincial workers. “The government’s position on this hasn’t changed,” Clark said. “I am not going back to taxpayers for more money in order to give government workers a raise. We are in very tough economic times and we have to balance our budget.” The government estimates the wage offer adds up to $1,700 more over two years for a BCGEU employee making $48,000 a year.

Escalating fines to fight transit cheats TransLink flexes new powers against ticket scofflaws Transit fare evaders will face higher fines down the road if they refuse to pay their tickets for being caught without proof of payment in a fare-paid zone. TransLink has unveiled escalating fines that start at the same initial level of $173 but will now climb to $213 after six months and $273 if they’re unpaid after a year. The province this year gave TransLink authority to collect fare evasion fines
after Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom vowed to fix a long-running enforcement gap that let scofflaws ignore their fines. Now TransLink will have the power to send unpaid fines to a collection agency and ICBC will refuse to issue or renew a driver’s licence or vehicle insurance to customers who owe unpaid fines. “It allows us to enforce fares a lot more stringently,” TransLink CEO Doug Kelsey said. “The people who pay should not be subsidizing the small group who don’t pay.”
NOW UNTIL SEPTEMBER 23!
Previously, fare evasion fine collection was the province’s responsibility, but the tickets were going into a black hole, with ICBC, for example, not doing anything to spur payment. As a result, most people handed tickets never paid them and about $4 million in unpaid fines stacked up each year. Transit Police last year issued 57,000 fare evasion tickets or nearly $10 million worth – more than in most previous years – and the force has continued to step up fare enforcement this year. twitter.com/jeffnagel

The first contract to be signed with municipal workers in Metro Vancouver has set a bar that may strongly influence other negotiating tables across the region. Critics say New Westminster’s deal giving its civic workers pay hikes of 6.75 per cent over four years doesn’t bode well for other city councils who hope to keep a lid on their municipal wages and taxes. “It will probably end up costing taxpayers across the region money,” said Jordan Bateman, spokesman for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. He had pressed for a civic equivalent of the province’s netzero mandate that froze labour costs for two years. “It’s another example of a city hall caving to CUPE and signing a deal that’s good for those members and not so good for taxpayers.” T:10.3125” Bateman worries the New
West agreement is the start of a replay of 2007, when Richmond broke ranks with other cities and gave its unionized workers an extra 17.5 per cent over five years to secure labour peace through the 2010 Olympics. That became the pattern for the rest of the region as other cities signed with their CUPE locals. “It’s unfortunate the cities were so quick to follow the provincial government on the Olympics,” Bateman said. “The problem now is they’re coming off an extremely lucrative contract. They never took net zero like the provincial unions did.” The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, which lobbies for civic cost control, also expressed concern that other cities may fall in line. Spokesperson Shachi Kurl said it’s too early to say the New Westminster deal sets a precedent for other unionized wage increases, and noted each city varies in its ability to pay and other unique circumstances. But she said it could be a factor. “Even if you have a restraint-
minded council or finance director who may want to rein [labour costs] in, that becomes very difficult when all your neighbours are going in a different direction.” The New Westminster deal is retroactive to Jan. 1 and includes increases of 1.25 per cent this year, 1.75 per cent in each of the next two years and two per cent in 2015. CUPE local 387 business agent George Habib called it a fair contract and said municipal bargaining can’t reasonably be compared to the province’s netzero freeze on union pay. The other big change from past bargaining rounds is that Metro Vancouver has dismantled its Labour Relations Bureau, abandoning its former role as coordinator of negotiations for most cities. The decision came after all of Metro’s largest cities had pulled out of the joint bargaining arrangement in favour of more individual negotiating flexibility. Some mayors have expressed concern well-coordinated union locals will exploit cities’ failure to maintain a united front. – files from Grant Granger

Come and see Micah Lexier at the Burnaby Art Gallery
H
ave you ever wondered what would be a good measure of the last 30 years of your life?
Well, here’s a chance for you to experience first-hand what one of Canada’s most successful artists, Micah Lexier, has been up to. The Burnaby Art Gallery is presenting a project 30 years in the making. Opening today, the Micah Lexier: Working as a Drawing exhibition presents a unique artist book and site-specific exhibition dating back to 1980. In a mind-boggling undertaking that is nothing short of amazing, this exhibition has 470 letter-sized pages selected from Lexier’s files and archives. As a collector (some might say hoarder), Lexier has archived almost every handwritten note, list, preliminary sketch, test photocopy, letter, false start, indecipherable scribbling, technical diagram, printing error, marked-up photograph and construction element that he has generated in the past 30 years. Early in 2012 he began the onerous task of looking through the last 30 years and
selecting the pieces that worked as a drawing. The result is remarkable. This exhibition offers you the opportunity to explore an artist’s developing practice through his own eyes. I find this incredibly engaging on a visual level and appreciate the opportunity to see the concepts behind the work and the process by which a project is conceived and developed. Lexier is best known for over a dozen public art works, and has earned an international reputation as one of Canada’s preeminent artists and curators. This exhibition is a window of insight into how an artist evolves from a BFA in Winnipeg, an MFA at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, to being represented by top art galleries while winning large public and corporate art commissions. These newly discovered drawings are presented in identical frames and arranged on grids on the gallery walls. The drawings are accompanied by a book produced exclusively for the exhibition. Each piece of paper functions as a discreet drawing which, when put together, creates an evocative

portrait of three decades of work. If only the last 30 years of my life could be organized, packaged and displayed in such a concise and illuminating manner. Lexier shows us the marvelous benefits of being organized. Lexier’s project inspired me to look through 30 years of my own personal collection of recipes consisting of scribbled notes, faded newspaper clippings, magazine tear-outs, and lovingly typed recipe cards, that have been blurred with spills, to find my own “diamonds.” My winner was a recipe from The Moose Jaw Times Herald’s 1983 Best Cooking Contest for what might just be the best Raspberry Dessert ever. You can visit the Burnaby Art Gallery to experience Lexier’s exhibition, purchase the limited edition artist book, meet him at the Artist Talk and find my mom’s raspberry dessert recipe. • Micah Lexier Artist Talk, Sunday, Sept. 9, 2 p.m. at the Burnaby Art Gallery.

While Modo and for-profit services Zipcar and Car2Go might seem a natural fit in neighbourhoods with less frequent bus service, observers say the opposite is true. Good transit and dense, walkable neighbourhoods are essential because those are areas where more residents are apt to give up their own wheels and opt to rent for just occasional trips. Users save the cost of owning, maintaining and insuring a vehicle they might rarely use and

While the City of Vancouver has bloomed as a mecca for carsharing—three services rent out more than 700 vehicles to users who typically forgo owning their own car—the concept has been much slower to roll into Metro Vancouver’s more car-dependent suburbs. Modo, Vancouver’s original car-share co-op, just added its third and fourth cars based in Surrey—both at the new Quattro housing project and they were both paid for by the developer. The other two are at nearby Surrey SkyTrain stations and are Modo’s only four car-share vehicles offered south of the Fraser so far. Another Modo minivan has recently been added at the River Market in New Westminster, its fifth shared vehicle in that city. But the bulk of the co-op’s 275 vehicles are in Vancouver proper, with a small smattering in North Vancouver and in Burnaby near SkyTrain stations. Even the Canada Line hasn’t yet brought Modo into

Soron said. “We have zero vehicles but we have all these vehicles to choose from.” He figures they save plenty of money, too. “We don’t have to worry about unexpected repairs and expenses,” Soron said. “So it’s very low risk and it just makes driving less stressful.” He sees plenty of potential for suburban growth, particularly in corridors where transit is slated to improve, and says cities can do more to help by relaxing parking requirements for developments that add car-share offerings. Transportation blogger Stephen Rees, who lives in Richmond, said he wishes Car2Go would expand. Unlike Modo and Zipcar vehicles—which must be returned to their home parking stall—Car2Go’s two-seater Smart cars can be taken on one-way trips and left on any residential street, provided it’s north of 49th Avenue and west of Renfrew in Vancouver. Car2Go also offers a few cars at Kwantlen Polytechnic University campuses in Richmond, Surrey and Cloverdale, and a spokesperson said the service may consider extending that concept further.

Richmond, although the co-op aims to be there soon. Marketing director Bernice Paul said car-share vehicles first need to be authorized to use on-street parking and a bylaw is expected to come to Richmond council this fall. She said Modo will also look to Port Moody and Coquitlam once SkyTrain arrives with the Evergreen Line. But she said most of Modo’s 9,000 members are in Vancouver and the co-op must provide cars where they’re wanted. “We don’t have the luxury of pushing demand—buying and placing a car somewhere to try to build up membership,” Paul said.

Knights to battle Crusaders The St. Thomas More Knights will open their 2012 B.C. AAA varsity AAA high school football season by playing host to the Holy Cross Crusaders of Surrey at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West on Friday (Sept. 7) starting at 7 p.m. They’ll visit another Catholic school rival, Vancouver College Fighting Irish, on Saturday, Sept. 15, at 1:30 p.m., before taking on the Notre Dame Jugglers, Friday, Sept. 21, 7 p.m. at Burnaby Lake. They’ll begin conference play by battling the top-ranked Mt. Douglas Rams in Victoria on Sept. 28. • Former New Westminster Hyack Vivie Bojilov was the leading tackler for the University of B.C. Thunderbirds in a 31-24 loss to the University of Manitoba Bisons on the UBC campus Saturday. Bojilov, who plays linebacker, had seven tackles and also recorded a sack in the opening game of the regular season for both teams. Other former Hyacks on the team include receiver Daniel English, defensive back Regan Eberding, defensive lineman Ian Henderson, and running back Warren Reece, as well as New Westminster residents halfback Kyle Madden, linebacker Jake Woodson and receiver Ross Hilliam, who played at St. Thomas More. Other STM grads playing for UBC this season are defensive back Jordan Bosa and offensive lineman Sabdeep Sidhu. Defensive tackle Roberto Perizzolo of Burnaby, who played at Notre Dame in East Vancouver, is also a member of the T-Birds. UBC play the University of Regina Cougars in the Saskatchewan capital Friday (Sept. 7). Their next home game is Saturday, Sept. 15 against the University of Saskatchewan Huskies.

The Simon Fraser University men’s soccer team have got off to a strong start on their 2012 season with a pair of non-conference victories. The Clan opened up with a 6-0 victory over the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack on their home turf at Terry Fox Field on Friday night with Carlo Basso bagging five of SFU’s goals, including four in the first half in a 27-minute span. SFU followed that win up Sunday afternoon by beating the Vancouver Island University Mariners 3-0 thanks to a pair of goals by Clan midfielder Jovan Blagojevic. The Clan will play another pair of nonconference games at Fox Field this weekend when Azusa Pacific University visits Friday, 7:30 p.m., and the University of Hawaii-Pacific on Sunday, 7:30 p.m. “It’s going to get tougher from here,” said Blagojevic. “Azusa and Hawaii will be technically sound and will be good tests for us.” On Monday, the Great Northwest Athletic Conference named Clan defender Michael Winter as its defensive player of the week while Basso received honourable mention for the offensive player award. • The women’s soccer squad got their first win of the season in a neutral site game at Bellingham, Wash., on Tuesday with a 1-0 victory over Hawaii Pacific University. Freshman goalkeeper Amanda Gilliland got the shutout while Aja Choy-Halo scored the goal. The season didn’t start as well, however, as the Cal-State Stanislaus Warriors blanked the Clan 3-0 at Fox Field on Saturday. The Warriors are ranked 25th in NCAA Division II. The SFU women will take on another California team, the Academy of Art, at Fox on Saturday starting at 7 p.m. • The SFU men’s hockey team will play a twogame exhibition series against UBC later this month. The Clan and T-Birds will tangle at UBC on Friday, Sept. 21, 7 p.m., with the University Hockey Classic concluding at Copeland Arena in Burnaby the next night starting at 7 o’clock.

Know the rules when insuring secondary suites Secondary suites continue to be an affordable housing option for Metro Vancouver area residents, benefitting home owners as mortgage helpers and tenants as a less expensive roof over their heads. According to the Real Estate Board of Vancouver, secondary suites are so prevalent that Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation estimates there are now about 101,808 accessory suites in the Metro Vancouver region. “With so many suites in our area, it’s important to remind home owners to let their insurer know about a suite and to buy insurance to cover the suite,” says REBGV member David Chambers, a licensed realtor and a licensed insurance agent, and vice-president of Chambers Olson Insurance in Vancouver.
coach homes above garages and other authorized or unauthorized accommodation on their property should also let their insurer know and should buy appropriate coverage. DiD you know?

$1,200, it will cost you an additional $120,” says Chambers. Home owners who rent their secondary suite can also buy separate comprehensive rental insurance. Depending on the insurer and on the policy, this can cover vandalism and damage by tenants, typically up to a payout maximum limit of $5,000. This insurance doesn’t cover the tenant’s belongings. The tenant has to buy their own insurance for their possessions. Home owners with laneway homes,

“Whether the suite is legal or illegal, having insurance coverage is vital,” says Chambers, who notes there is a misconception among home owners that their existing policy will cover a suite. “It doesn’t,” says Chambers. A home owner who doesn’t tell their insurer about a suite and that there are two households living in the home, opens themselves up to significant risk. An unreported and uninsured suite could potentially void the existing insurance contract on the primary residence if there is a flood or a fire,” explains Chambers. Some home owners may not properly insure their property because of fear that
Since July 6, 1998 the City of New Westminster has allowed owners of single detached dwellings in areas zoned for single detached or duplex dwellings to create one secondary suite (or authorize one existing suite) per property.

‘A low-maintenance lifestyle’
Downsizers finding a home at Edgewater The recent increase in multi-family construction projects is a burgeoning trend. While many people still prefer a single-family home, buyers are flocking to developments that offer apartments or townhomes. “It’s a low-maintenance lifestyle,” says Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing Cristy Edmonds. Edgewater, by Barber Creek Developments in South Surrey, is one multi-family development that has seen sales boom since it opened for sale last year. Edmonds says that many of their buyers have been downsizers. “They don’t need the space anymore,”
she says. “It’s also become more socially acceptable” to live in a condominium or townhouse, plus the perks of no longer having to do your own maintenance. Edgewater is particularly popular for several reasons. “A project like this won’t be replicated again,” Edmonds says. “It’s one of a kind.” Only five homes now remain in the project. But what about the privacy that is often inherent in a single-family home? Though you might be giving up your backyard, many condo developments now include a private balcony or patio with every suite. It will be your own private piece of solitude, even in the middle of the bustling Lower Mainland.
we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “SOLO District will have everything anyone needs within a short distance. Buyers will not only get access to fresh produce at Whole Foods, but easily accessible transit via the SkyTrain, short commutes to downtown Vancouver, (and) car-sharing options through Modo.” The homes have appealed to people of all demographics, from first-time buyers to those choosing to downsize. “Our first SOLO buyer ... was a firsttime homebuyer in her late 20s who had grown up in the area,” says Bosa. “Like many other buyers she knew the area well, saw the potential in the community and wanted to be a part of it.” The bottom floor of the towers at SOLO District will hold retail and commercial space. Whole Foods is just one of the amazing shops that will be moving in to the community. Other amenities at SOLO District include a fully fenced rooftop dog park, a fitness studio with a sauna and steam rooms, and a covered rooftop terrace barbecue area, among several other things. Each unit comes with a secured
basement storage room and a one-year membership to Modo Car Share with three dedicated vehicles. Along with the car-share program, there are also electric car charging stations and four car wash bays. The neighbourhood itself is close to several schools, from elementary to post-secondary at Simon Fraser University and the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Restaurants and shopping are within walking distance, including Brentwood Town Centre. Recreation is also within easy reach with a variety of gyms, community centres and other leisure activities. “SOLO District proves that market strength exists for a strong community concept, which is exactly what Appia ... has created here at Brentwood,” says Wong. “The best developments will counter any negative real estate market trends.” In fact, buyers lined up for two hours on opening day on July 21. The next release of homes is scheduled for sometime in the fall. Homes start at $229,900. For more information, check out www. solodistrict.com or call 604-298-8800.

Appia Development has combined a fantastic location, great value and stunning homes in their newest development, SOLO District in the Brentwood area of Burnaby. “We quickly realized that community demand was there and that people wanted to start buying,” says Appia President Jim Bosa. “We decided to release a few homes as an introductory release and we’ve had an excellent response. We’ve sold out our first release and we’re also oversubscribed for the next round.” It’s no wonder they’re all sold out with the array of gorgeous features that are included in the homes at SOLO District, which stands for South of Lougheed. Imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry in the kitchen that is perfectly complemented by the polished quartz countertops and quartz slab backsplash and modern stainlesssteel appliances are just a taste of what’s to come in your new home. The engineered wood flooring in the entry,
kitchen and living areas is offset by the custom roller blinds on the windows and durable nylon carpeting in the bedrooms, while the nine-foot ceilings and seven-foot entry and interior doors lend themselves to the huge sense of space you feel when you enter your home. Beautiful panoramic views of the North Shore mountains and downtown Vancouver greet you from every angle, while two designer colour schemes (Grigio and Noce) make it easier to make your home your own. SOLO District is split into four sleek glass towers, ranging from 38 to 48 storeys that will include more than 1,400 homes. The first phase, Stratus, holds nearly 400 condominium homes at 45 storeys. The other phases will be named Altus, Cirrus and Aerius. Buyers will be able to take occupancy in early 2015. “We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way
“
We firmly believe that SOLO District is poised to change the way we live in the Lower Mainland,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects.

Beautiful views come standard at SOLO District, above. The engineered wood flooring and an open concept layout combine for an elegant living space, while the bathrooms, left, are full of chic details such as premium Kohler fixtures and flattering lighting.
