Pharmacy loyalty points program ban riles collectors

Dec. 28 the deadline for comments on proposed change by Jeff Nagel PHARMACIES IN B.C. may soon be banned from giving out loyalty points to customers if a proposed reform is approved. The College of Pharmacists of British Columbia wants to block pharmacies such as Shopper’s Drug Mart

and Canada Safeway from awarding points to their loyalty card holders out of concern the bonuses spur some patients to make poor decisions. The regulatory body argues loyalty points are a powerful lure for some customers, who may wait longer than they should to fill a prescription in order to get a bigger points bonus offered at a later date. “These delays could negatively impact on that patient’s health and cause serious short- and long-term effects,” according to the college.

A furry fun Christmas for shelter pooches Animals at the Surrey SPCA benefit from Loki’s Christmas Wish Fund donation

by Bronwyn Scott Furry bodies at the Surrey SPCA were wig-

gling with delight when Loki’s Christmas Wish Fund delivered hundreds of dollars in pet food and accessories last Friday afternoon. The organization collects donations yearround and delivers them to animal shelters and rescue societies across the Lower Mainland over the Christmas holidays. Founder Kristen Neratini started the project with her husband in honour of their American pit bull terrier Loki, who came from a shelter in Chilliwack and was adopted around Christmas. Loki passed away in 2008. “Christmastime came and it was a really hard time for us to be without him,” said Neratini. She thought, “how can we honour his memory and what can we do to give back?” Loki’s Christmas Wish Fund took off and the first year of donations in 2008 were delivered to THE LEADER - 1/3 Page Ad (5.8125” x 8”) the Chilliwack shelter. “We filled two vehicles full of stuff to drop off and shelter staff were just overwhelmed. They couldn’t believe it,” Neratini said. “It was just stuff that they absolutely needed to help… keep the dogs occupied, to help them do their job better and provide for the dogs in their care.” EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER Countless businesses around the region have Animals at the surrey sPCA shelter received some pre-Christmas gifts Friday from supported Loki’s Christmas Wish Fund by setLoki’s Christmas Wish.

items that the shelters can re-use,” Neratini said. “We’re helping a lot of dogs.” This year marks Loki’s Christmas Wish Fund’s fifth year of giving to shelter and rescue animals. Four organizations were supported by this year’s donations, including the Chilliwack Animal Control, the Surrey Animal Resource Centre, Hug-A-Bull Advocacy and Rescue Society and Paws for Hope Animal Foundation. Last year 20 organizations benefitted but a shortage of volunteers hampered distribution for this year’s campaign. The lack of helping hands caused Neratini to announce that this would be the last year the project could continue after her husband fell ill and could no longer help as he once did. But Loki’s Christmas Wish Fund will continue to give, thanks to the help of two dedicated individuals that stepped up to help for next year. “Just with the volume of donations that we get, storage is an issue, timing, and just, trying to plan everything can be really difficult,” she said. “We are going to… continue on as long as we can,” she said. Loki’s Christmas Wish Fund is always looking for volunteers that can pick up or drop off donation boxes to participating businesses, sort donations, or help promote the program by dropping off promotional material. “(Loki) was a very special dog who I miss very much,” she said. “So it’s very, very nice to be able to give back and do it in his name,” said Neratini.

No trades shortage, just corporate greed Lessons i hAve been working in the construction

industry as an electrician for over 20 years and there is no shortage of tradepeople by any means. There is, however, a major effort from both the corporations and government to destroy the position of our unions. I always find it interesting how workers themselves so easily participate in their own degradation by going along with greedy corporations. This includes our own government. When a government blocks unions’ right to strike ,then they have empowered corporations’ greediness. The unions are always working at trying to bring a good balance between cor-

porate profit and a fair compensation for the skilled professional. In my union alone, The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 213, we have a system that when our own local is unable to fill calls for skilled professionals they call up other locals, and if need be they can go right across Canada because our union is nation-wide. Just recently I participated in such a call from the Edmonton, Alberta Local 424, and there were a number of skilled professionals that helped to fill this call. The non-union system reaches for the foreign workers and then tries to say there is

a shortage. This is not a true picture. There is not a shortage of skilled professionals; only a surplus of greed and power. How many homes and jets and toys does one person need? In the end, even with all the toys, it still is not enough. There are after all many families who would be thankful to have a home and to them it would have great meaning and purpose. One has to work towards balance because this creates the maximum amount of enjoyment for the majority, and not the other way around. Peter Goertzen, Surrey

Hope the Port Mann is under warranty re: “FAlling iCe closes Port

Mann,” The Leader, Dec. 20. What a disaster for anyone doing a commute over a bridge. How could this happen? The public deserves an explanation for the new hazard facing commuters going over the new $3-billion Port Mann Bridge, especially if they have to pay for each crossing by way of a toll. This is the Trans-Canada Highway. It has to be safe. None of the commuters deserve the grief to get a windshield or sunroof replaced and body and paint damage repaired, let alone the shock and trauma. A lot of people will not use that bridge again. Mark my words, I am not the only one who will be saying this. This should never have happened. Has not the technology and prevention of this very foreseen ice build-up been calculated by all the “risk managers”? Look at the design of this bridge and compare it to others. The cables are angled too far over the road. Did this have to happen? This bridge has to be under warranty, right? Drive with a lot of care everyone. Paul Fitzgerald, Surrey

in spirit from a mall Santa

From my chair as a mall Santa at Surrey Central Shopping Centre, I experienced the company of young and old as they visited to make a wish or capture a Christmas moment. I’ve come to realize I was not giving them Christmas magic; rather they visited to celebrate the spirit of Santa in themselves – a giving and joyful spirit that is available to all who choose to call upon it; a spirit that is within and outside of religion as people of all faiths and opinions come to visit me in my chair. Santa is real. The proof is not in me dressed in a red suit and sitting in a Santa chair, but in the magical change in people touched by the spirit. The Santa spirit lives within each beating heart and when it receives attention, a life becomes enriched with a giving nature. When you awaken your “Santa,” every day will be merry and bright. This is the truth – and a gift from Santa to you.

Two of the goals at TI Corp are to one, reduce congestion and travel times, and two, improve safety and accessibility. No doubt the commuters caught up in last Wednesday’s fiasco of ice-bomb-induced confusion and congestion would like to fire coach Proudfoot because his team didn’t come close to scoring on either of those two goals. Now if TI Corp could only utilize the political hot air the B.C.

‘Falcon’s Folly’ a fairweather bridge i hAven’T used the Port Mann bridge since December 2010, and

I will never use the new privatized bridge. I don’t think it’s safe. If there is a 7.0 earthquake, goodbye bridge – the only thing giving it any stability is the “S” shape of the roadway. And now we find that it is a fair-weather-only bridge, closed in a minor snowstorm! My new name for it is Falcon’s Folly. Robert McCroskey Surrey

Take a stand against coal transport

An open leTTer to Surrey mayor and council.

Please take a stand against further transportation of coal from the U.S.A. to be exported through our ports. This material has to pass through Surrey. As Dr. James Hansen has made clear, all the remaining coal must be left in the ground to avoid catastrophic climate change. Thus, it becomes a crime against Nature (and thus against human life, which depends on Nature) to burn more coal. Those who are enablers of this addiction to fossil fuels (such as Surrey allowing transportation

through our city) thus become accessories to the crime. Why is it in our interest to supply fuel to China? Why are we participating in this scheme which gives the US government pennies per ton royalty on the coal while they are suffering massive deficits? (Similar to how B.C. takes a reduced royalty on “natural” gas to undercut the price from other regions). Robert McCroskey Surrey

The CiTy of Surrey has done a poor job in snow removal. Many streets remained impassable, even on Thursday. Where were the snow plow trucks when you needed them? On Wednesday, around noon time, when it had stopped snowing, there was still lots of snow on the main roads. Pattullo Bridge southbound came to a standstill as so many trucks were stuck on King George Boulevard after 128 Street. Why wasn’t the snow removed from King George Boulevard southbound from Patullo Bridge on Wednesday? Also, why does the school district choose to keep schools open when no snow removal trucks come to clear the streets around school? So many cars were stuck in the snow on school property. I think snow removal should be a priority for all schools otherwise please keep the schools closed. Ida Daniels

Alex Fraser drivers also hit by falling ice by Jeff Nagel Heavy snow and ice

falling from the Alex Fraser Bridge on Dec.

Port Mann Bridge may close again if watchful crews detect ‘any risk’

19 also damaged an estimated 30 vehicles on the same day the phenomenon forced the four-hour closure of the

new Port Mann Bridge. Motorists on the Alex Fraser reported cracked windshields and roof damage after heavy

chunks of ice or slush dropped on them. ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said there are now 240 dam-

age claims from falling ice chunks at the Port Mann Bridge. “It does seem to be a confluence of lots of different weather conditions coming into play,” he said. Provincial officials have blamed a rare combination of severe snow and a cycle of freezing and thawing weather for the Port Mann damage. Although there had been past reports of falling ice at the Alex Fraser in 2005 and 2008, Grossman said last Wednesday’s was the worst case to date. He said ICBC staff will carefully review all claims to ensure drivers aren’t fraudulently reporting damage from other causes. In the case of Port Mann claims, TReO’s records will be checked to verify the vehicle actually crossed the toll bridge on Dec. 19.

Unlike the Port Mann Bridge, where cables cross over top of traffic to the central support towers, the Alex Fraser’s cables rise vertically beside the bridge decks. They can still drop snow or ice buildup onto traffic if the wind blows in that direction. But Transportation Investment Corp. CEO Mike Proudfoot said most of the ice that fell at the Alex Fraser built up and dropped from the horizontal concrete crossbeams that run above traffic between the support towers. Proudfoot said the province is now carrying out “very detailed” weather monitoring to guard against a repeat of the falling ice hazard at the Port Mann. Crews will conduct hourly reviews and assessments of the risk to motorists if the temperature drops below

two degrees, he added. “If there is any risk at all, the possibility is there for another closure of the bridge,” Proudfoot said. Engineers continue to look at various potential retrofits to keep snow and ice from building up on the new bridge, centrepiece of the $3.3-billion Port Mann/ Highway 1 project. Proudfoot said systems using heat, vibration de-icing or other mechanical methods are all under consideration by engineers with contractor Kiewit-Flatiron as well as from other consulting firms. Transportation Minister Mary Polak has said the bridge’s design was to ensure snow and ice did not pose a risk to traffic and the contractor will be held responsible for fixing the problem at no cost to taxpayers.

2598 – 144th St (Parking lot on 24th Ave, just east of 144th St)

If it snows, be sure to head to the Surrey Nature Centre at Green Timbers. This park is one of the highest points of elevation in Surrey, which means it usually gets the most snow. Bring your toboggan to slide down the big hill, and walk the nearby forest trails.

A rainy winter day is the perfect time to enjoy a walk in this forest oasis. The branches of the hundred year old native evergreen trees provide plenty of shelter for you and wildlife. Keep your eyes open for black-tailed deer that have been spotted here throughout the year.

are seeking charges against another 40 alleged Stanley Cup rioters. Eight of the new suspects are from Vancouver, five are from Coquitlam, four from Burnaby and three each are from Calgary, Surrey and Langley. The investigation of other riot suspects continues, said VPD Insp. Laurence Rankin. “It’s been over 18 months, and we haven’t forgotten our commitment we made to the victims and the residents of our community,” he said. Police have so far recommended more than 1,000 charges against 315 riot suspects, while prosecutors have so far approved charges against 169 of them. Some have already pleaded guilty and been jailed. New suspects police want charged include a 27-year-old North Vancouver man accused of breaking into a business and trying to flip a marked police car. He tried to hide his face but investigators say they identified him by comparing video clips. Charges including aggravated assault and assault causing bodily harm are also sought against two Langley men aged 26 and 20 and a 20-year-old Cal-

Large numbers of accused rioters also came from Burnaby (34), Richmond (22), North Vancouver (20), Vancouver Island (15), Langley (14), Coquitlam (13), Maple Ridge (12) and Delta (11).

Family sues website that sold Surrey killer guns The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence has launched wrongful death action against armslist.com

by Kevin Diakiw The family of a slain woman in the U.S. is suing the

website that allegedly sold her Surrey killer the gun. Demetry Smirnov moved to the Chicago area in 2008 after meeting Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jitka Vesel through an online dating service. Vesel eventually returned to a former boyfriend and Smirnov returned to Canada. Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smirnov returned to Illinois, after allegedly buying a 40-caliber handgun at armlist.com and Smirnov approached her in a parking lot and started shooting and as he was reloading, she threw her coffee on him and fell to the ground. He continued firing, prosecutors say. She was found with numerous shots to the head and body. He pleaded guilty to the murder, and has been sentenced to life in prison. Now, Veselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother is suing the website where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed Smirnov bought the gun. The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence has launched

the lawsuit on his behalf, and said it has filed an action against armslist.com for wrongful death. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first lawsuit against a gun website for causing a shooting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Responsible gun sellers and web site operators, like most Americans, recognize that guns should be sold with the greatest care, to prevent arming dangerous people with the means to kill,â&#x20AC;? said the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legal Action Project Director, Jonathan Lowy, counsel for the family.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gun sellers and web site operators who facilitate the arming of killers smirnov and criminals must be held accountable.â&#x20AC;? The complaint alleges the websiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design encourages and enables users to evade laws that allow private sellers to sell firearms only to residents of their own state by enticing prospective buyers to search for and find gun sellers throughout all 50 states. Sales conducted over the Internet frequently have been linked to illegal gun trafficking and sales to minors, and have

been connected to the mass shootings at Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University.Â A recent undercover investigation by the City of New York of online firearm sellers found that 62 per cent of private gun sellers agreed to sell a firearm to a buyer who said that he probably could not pass a background check. Jitka was killed in the parking lot of the Chicagoarea Czechoslovak Heritage Museum where she had been working as a volunteer to prepare for a celebration in honor of former Czech-American Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak.Â Ironically, Mayor Cermak was assassinated with a handgun in 1933 while shaking hands with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was the intended target of the assassin. Brady alleges the gun seller pleaded guilty to the illegal transfer of a firearm to an out-of-state person, a felony, and was sentenced to one year and a day in prison.

lands beat out North Vancouver’s Allied Shipbuilders Ltd. for the $25-million project. TransLink spokesman Derek Zabel said up to $2 million will be saved by the decision to pick the low bid. “We need to be wise stewards of scarce taxpayer dollars, so cost was one of the main factors,” he said. Zabel said some components of the new boat would have been built in the U.S. if the North Vancouver shipyard had been chosen. A third bidder eliminated earlier in the procurement was from the U.S. The decision is being criticized by the Shipyard General Workers Federation, which said TransLink failed to take into account significant spin-off benefits to the B.C. economy had Allied’s Dollarton yard

“It could be China, it could be Singapore, it could be Vietnam or Indonesia,” MacPherson said. “We’re quite certain it won’t be built in the Netherlands.” He said building local would have meant 60 full-time jobs for a little over a year plus well over 100 more with various local suppliers and sub-contractors.

The previous replacement SeaBus launched in 2010, the Burrard Pacific Breeze, was built by a Victoria shipyard that did not submit a bid this time. Zabel said the new SeaBus – to be in service in 2014 – will burn less fuel and produce much less pollution and greenhouse gas emissions than the 36-yearold MV Burrard Beaver, which it replaces. The Beaver will act as a spare vessel and could come back into service if TransLink gains more funding to offer more frequent SeaBus sailings. The older MV Burrard Otter will be retired. TransLink says the older vessels are still safe but no longer meet all Transport Canada standards.

Coast Capital to move HQ to City Centre ‘Cool place and space’ to include daycare, roof-top lunchroom, fitness facility and corporate university

Black Press Coast Capital Credit Union is moving its head

office to Central City next to the King George SkyTrain Station in a yet-to-be built nine-storey tower of unique design. Coast Capital has signed a contract with PCI Developments Corp. for the construction and leasing of about 70 per cent of the approximately 180,000-square-foot building, with a targeted late 2015 completion date. Coast Capital’s “Help Headquarters,” as the new head office will be called, will join buildings such as the Central City Tower and City Centre Library that have established Surrey as the home for some of the province’s most groundbreaking modern architecture. “Coast Capital is excited not only to continue its presence in Surrey, but to further expand our business footprint in the city, with the upcoming construction of our new City Centre head office,” said Tracy Redies, Coast Capital Savings president and CEO. “We went through a meticulous and thoughtful selection process and of all the sites explored, Surrey emerged as the best choice.” Redies said the fact that 70 per cent of Coast Capital’s staff currently working out of its Guildford head office and Central City administration office live south of the Fraser River was also a key consideration in the city’s selection. Locating the head office near to the King George SkyTrain Station, a major transit hub, will also provide commuting options to staff, Redies said. Dan Turner, executive vice-president, PCI Developments Corp., said Coast Capital’s new Surrey head office will be a LEED Gold Certified, cutting-edge architectural concept by Musson Cattell Mackey Partnership. He said there are plans for three further phases of commercial and residential development on the site. Redies said Coast Capital deliberately wanted to move away from a conventional head office concept for its new location and chose the name Help Headquarters to align with the credit union’s mission to provide “simple financial help” to customers. “In many ways, our new location will defy and re-define what a corporate head office looks and feels like, both on the outside and the inside,” Redies said. Coast Capital’s new headquarters, shaped by the credit union’s promise to change the way employees feel about work, will be the antithesis of a traditional corporate head office. Intended to be a “cool place and space” for employees, the iconic building will display a stateof-the-art, open-concept design aimed at fostering collaborative work and innovation. It will include a daycare, with preferential enrolment for children of staff; a roof-top lunchroom and deck; a fitness facility; and corporate university. As part of its environmental features, Coast Capital’s Help Headquarters will include expanded bike storage and showers for bike commuters as well as

plug-in spots for electric cars. Coast Capital Savings Credit Union is Canada’s second largest credit union with total assets under administration of $13.5 billion, 475,000 members and 50 branches in the Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley, and Vancouver Island regions of British Columbia.

The B.C. government is considering following the lead of Washington state and putting a toll on pipelines to fund better leak prevention and spill response programs. Environment Minister Terry Lake said the government is seeking public and industry input into a new plan to ensure a “polluter pay” system for oil and gas pipelines and other forms of hazardous material transport. “For instance in the state of Washington, a five-cent a barrel tax is applied to the owner of the oil product received into a storage tank,” Lake said. “Four cents of that is put into an oil spill prevention account, and another one cent into oil spill response account.” He added that this applies to the Trans Mountain pipeline that moves oil from Alberta to tanker port at Burnaby and carries on south to supply Washington state refineries. The state toll applies to all oil crossing the U.S. border. Brenda Kenny, president of the Canadian Energy Pipelines Association, said the industry supports the concept of polluter pay and is looking forward to discussing it and other suggestions. She said B.C. already is home to 6,000 km of natural gas pipelines and another 2,500 km carrying oil and other liquids, and more safeguards are needed. Lake said the initiative is not tied to the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal across northern B.C., or Kinder Morgan Canada’s plan to twin the Trans Mountain line. A discussion paper is posted on the environment ministry website at www.gov.bc.ca/env/. Submissions will be accepted until Feb. 15.

Coal export plans criticized by health groups by Jeff Nagel A cAmpAign to block

quash Canadian exports of coal is a “legitimate debate” to have at a more national level, Silvester said, but not one to

have with the port at the permitting level when coal exports have been underway here “for a very long time.”

He likened it to a homeowner applying to extend his house being told the application won’t be considered

because “we’re going to stop and think about the sustainability of the forest industry.” Silvester said most

of the coal exported through Port Metro Vancouver is metallurgical coal – a critical ingredient in steelmaking

– but critics note the planned terminal projects would boost exports of thermal coal that would be burned for power.

H ur

,o ry

r ffe en ds

a proposed increase in coal exports through Metro Vancouver has gained the backing of public health advocates. An open letter from three groups and numerous individual health professionals calls on Port Metro Vancouver to freeze its consideration of applications for a new coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks and to expand an existing one at Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver pending further study. The B.C. Lung Association, Public Health Association of B.C. and the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment cited health risks from coal dust and diesel pollution from more trains rolling through the region. “You have an ethical obligation to postpone any decisions on these two coal export proposals until you have developed a broader and more inclusive decision making process which is capable of evaluating the cumulative regional health impacts,” the letter says. Critics of the planned coal terminal expansions – which would increase coal shipments through the port by 14 million tonnes per year or 35 per cent – object to the port’s ability to approve them internally, without the consent of any city or other agency. Much criticism has come from climate activists who don’t want U.S. coal to get to market in Asia. But signatories to the letter say local health impacts could be significant. They project at least three more coal train trips through the region daily, up from six now. And they say the BNSF railway through White Rock and Delta to the proposed Fraser Surrey Docks terminal passes within a kilometre of 10 schools as well as daycare centres and seniors’ homes. Opponents of coal exports staged a protest outside the port’s downtown Vancouver headquarters Tuesday. Robin Silvester, president and CEO of Port Metro Vancouver, said concerns over coal dust risks are “completely legitimate questions” that will be addressed through the public review process underway. Whether climate change concerns should

huge input into where Coast Capital grants are given. Coast Capital is creating Young Community Council, all 30 years and younger, who will review grant applications and make funding recommendations on youth issues that need the most support in their communities. The council consists of four representatives from the local community and four Coast Capital employees. The Fraser Valley Young Leaders Community Council follows a successful pilot Council launched in Victoria in early December 2011. To date, the Vancouver Island Council has approved $220,000 in grants to 18 Island organizations – much of it aimed at supporting youth-focused programs and services. “We were all selected because we care about what’s happening in our communities,” said David Dryden, Chair of the new Fraser Valley Council. “Coast Capital Savings is entrusting us with a huge responsibility by giving us a say in what programs and services to fund in order to do the most good for the most people.” The Young Leaders Community

Council will meet quarterly. Emerging young leaders in the local community and at Coast Capital competed with their peers to be selected for a prestigious term on the Council. “Coast Capital’s Community Leadership Strategy is aimed at building a richer future for youth in our communities,” said Maureen Young, Coast Capital’s manager for community partnerships and investments. “Who better to decide what young people need than communityminded young leaders? Ultimately, this initiative is about giving back to our communities, but it’s also about realizing the leadership potential of our youth.” Young said Coast Capital is also launching a similar council for the Metro Vancouver region today. After an initial orientation meeting and training, the new Councils will hold their first meetings in January 2013. Each year, Coast Capital invests seven per cent of its budgeted pre-tax income in a wide range of community engagement activities, primarily focused on building a richer future for youth. Last year, this commitment amounted to $4.99 million dollars in community support. To learn more, visit www.coastcapitalsavings.com

Maintaining outdoor pots is easier than you think

With the weather

For a nicer look, try grouping the planters together and if you can, varying the heights. Soil is a key issue in winter. Open, porous, well-drained soil is a must. Regular potting soils hold too much moisture that tends to rot roots. Your best bet is to get a quality potting soil and add enough fine bark mulch so that the mulch equals a onethird portion. This is essentially a nursery mix that is ideal for all winter plants. Most hardy plants will thrive in containers over winter and with cooler temperatures will need minimal maintenance. They will, however, need to be kept moist, especially if the containers are under eaves. The main winter issue is the degree of cold temperatures. Hardy plants in winter containers will

cooler and wetter, with shorter hours of daylight, wouldn’t it be wonderful to brighten up your patio with some great winter colour? Enhancing our patios with colourful containers is easier than you may think. You just need a different strategy for winter. First: the containers. Terracotta in our climate is not the best for winter. Well-fired, quality pots with a lacquer finish are usually fine, but most inexpensive clay absorbs moisture and is more susceptible to cracking and chipping in winter. Well-fired ceramics, resin and quality plastic containers are fine. As a rule of thumb, the larger the container, the better the plants do in winter conditions, simply because of the larger soil mass.

move to a condo from a single-family dwelling, make sure you understand the differences of strata living vs. independent habitation. Condominium living brings a whole new set of responsibilities as a homeowner because you now have to think about the safety and security of other residents who live in your building. When living in a multi-housing project there are specific rules, or bylaws, to follow. Often homeowners who move from singlefamily homes to strata living have a difficult time accepting the rules bestowed on them. But keep in mind these laws were not developed by tyrants; they were thought out and executed by people who care about the welfare and safekeeping of all involved. Granted most people accept multi-housing living without a hitch, welcoming the lifestyle change with open arms. My concern is not those folks; it’s the people who have difficulty transitioning to a multifamily environment. They often think, “I own my place and nobody is going to tell me what to do.” If you’re that person, perhaps you may want to continue with single-family living because many security problems are caused by people who have a difficult time making the transition to condo living. The problem arises when new condo owners don’t respect the common areas of the building, which are shared by all residents. Common areas are the backbone of the building’s security. Any break-in that’s going to happen is most likely linked to one of these areas. Some common areas are the front lobby, garage, amenities room, shared hallways and exercise room. The lockers are another good example of a common area. There are also what I call “common sense” rules that apply to condo living. Residents need to make sure the entry door to the locker room is secured properly, for example. This may mean locking a deadbolt upon leaving the area. Residents also need to be vigilant against letting unidentified people into the building. If you are entering through the front door of the con-

you have a careless owner on board? This is why rules need to be in place — and enforced — to uphold the safety of the building. The building’s bylaws give the strata board the right to fine any individual for breaking the building rules. The owner or tenant must receive prompt written notice about the complaint from the strata board and must be given enough time to address the complaint before the strata board can begin to impose any fines. This required process can take some time, but it is important that strata boards follow this process to the letter in order to receive their money and keep their building secure.
