Extraordinary steps proposed to preserve green space in South Surrey

Grandview builders face enviro levies Kevin Diakiw Black Press

A large pastoral neighbourhood half the size of Stanley Park is slated for development in South Surrey as city council considers an ambitious plan for Grandview. In fact, the environmental value of the area is so significant, the city is looking to charge a “green space levy” for all residential development within the plan as a purchase fee for

the sensitive spaces. The neighbourhood concept plan (NCP) for Grandview 4 is currently home to wildlife corridors, stream networks, and acres of protected trees on 92 separate parcels of land. Because of the high environmental value, city staff are proposing to go through extraordinary steps to save as much green space as possible. The proposed wildlife hub and corridor to

be preserved in the plan include 15 hectares (37 acres), along with another 50 hectares (120 acres) of parks and riparian areas. The plan estimates it will cost $45 million to acquire those green spaces. City staff are hoping the levy, which would average between $9,600 to $14,000 per dwelling, will cover the cost of the property. The 201-hectare (497-acre) tract of land – almost the size of Green Timbers Urban

Forest – in the NCP is also home to the residence of Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. As such, Watts said she’ll be absenting herself from voting on the plan, which recommends allowing 15 homes per acre on her multi-acre lot. Last week, city council reviewed a draft of the plan, which will go to the public before coming back to council. › see page 4

Driver in distress

Trapped man succumbs A senior has died after his car smashed into a concrete barrier in South Surrey on the weekend. Fire crews called to an accident on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. found a man in medical distress trapped in a red Mercury Grand Marquis. The 84-year-old had been travelling westbound on 28 Avenue and continued through 188 Street, which was closed and barricaded. He smashed into the cement barrier and, when fire crews found him, he was having a heart attack. He died at the scene. Investigators are trying to determine if he was in cardiac arrest before the accident, as the barricade was well-marked. Police found no evidence he had attempted to slow down prior to impact.

Police have not released the name of a man who died Saturday after crashing into a concrete barrier in the 18800-block of 28 Avenue in South Surrey.

Mixed messages as minister claims he received apology from BC Liberal colleague

Coleman raps smart-meter response from MLA Alex Browne Staff Reporter

Minister talks to media Thursday.

BORDER GOLD CORP.

Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg stands by his words – and information provided by his office – in a continuing controversy over whether smart-meter holdouts will ultimately be forced by BC Hydro to accept the devices. And the BC Liberal MLA cites energy minister Rich Coleman’s own words in the legislature, recorded in 2011, as backing his assertion there would be an opt-out alternative to the program. “There is an opt-out program,” Coleman told the house at that time, moments later correcting

himself and saying the option would be correctly termed “a mitigation program for people who have legitimate concerns.” But Coleman had a different version at a media scrum in Vancouver Thursday. The deputy premier said the latest flurry of speculation about installation of the meters – which opponents claim compromise the health and safety of residents – is a result of misinterpretation of an opinion piece he wrote and distributed Jan. 23. “It says very clearly we’re going back to talk to our customers,” he said. “We’ll not force any customer to take a meter.”

Asked about Hogg’s belief that a permanent opt-out would be available, Coleman said “he actually contacted me and apologized.” “His office put something out, misinterpreted something to do with the op-ed that I’d sent to all members of caucus,” he added. “He’s already apologized for that.” But Hogg told Peace Arch News Friday his only apology to his BC Liberal colleague concerned an anti-smart-meter group that had taken information provided to a constituent and published it as a personal statement from the MLA. › see page 2

Dental work met standards, according to defence

Former dentist sued by his past patients Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

At least six civil claims have been filed against a former South Surrey dentist, alleging substandard treatment. Vancouver lawyer Alex Sayn-Wittgenstein confirmed Monday he is representing “a number” of claimants in the actions against Narendra (Randy) Narayan. The earliest of the claims was filed last July; the four most recent were filed on Dec. 21. “The allegations are… substandard dental treatment, much of which relate to dental restoration, such as crowns, fillings, root canals,” Sayn-Wittgenstein said. According to a notice of claim filed last summer on behalf of Patricia Moore, Narayan carried out dental work at his Kosmetiks Dental Clinic “in a negligent and substan-

dard manner.” Narayan, in a statement of defence filed in October, denies the allegations. “In answer to the whole of the Notice of Civil Claim, the defendants say that at all material times they met the standard of care in all the circumstances. “…they acted with reasonable care, skill and diligence and in accordance with the applicable standard of care reasonably expected of a dentist in the community.” Moore’s claim states she saw Narayan from 2005 to 2012, and spent “tens of thousands of dollars” on dental work that included bridges, root canals, dental hygiene and crowns, and learned, upon seeing another dentist, “that significant aspects of the dental work carried out by Dr. Narayan was substandard.” “Dr. Narayan’s provision of substandard

dental care and treatment was widespread and systemic in his practice and he knew or ought to have known at the time of making representations as to his expertise before embarking on the dental work that he did not have the ability to carry out the dental work in a proper manner,” the claim states. Moore is seeking relief including general damages, special damages and past and future care costs. Narayan’s statement notes – in defense of allegations that negligence and breach of contract on his part caused and will continue to cause Moore pain, loss of enjoyment and anxiety – that Moore caused or contributed to any suffering by her own negligence, including “failing to take all reasonable care for her own dental health.” Reached Tuesday, Narayan’s lawyer David

Bell confirmed statements of defence will be filed in response to the other claims. Bell had no comment on the allegations, and said Narayan would “almost certainly not” be commenting either. “The matter is before the courts and we’ll let them decide,” Bell said. Sayn-Wittgenstein said that while additional claims against Narayan are pending, there is no application for a class-action suit. No trial dates have been set; in civil proceedings, those “are generally two years down the road,” he said. An official with the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. said Narayan is no longer registered to practise, as of July 2012. “He has voluntarily withdrawn from practise, last year,” confirmed Anita Wilks, senior communications manager with the college.

Accused in custody

Seven stores closed

Shuttered Best Buy greets staffers

Chem suspect in court Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A White Rock man arrested last week after an anonymous tip led police to a cache of chemicals will remain in custody until at least Thursday. Following three brief video appearances in Surrey Provincial Court (Jan. 31, Feb. 1 and 4), a bail hearing for Hamish Norman Sutherland, 34, was set for Feb. 7. Sutherland was arrested just after 11 a.m. Jan. 24 as he left out of the back door of an apartment building in the 15100-block of Prospect Avenue. The chemicals were found during a search executed that day on a third-floor suite by White Rock police, members of the Explosive Disposal and Chemical/Biological/ Radiological/Nuclear Response Unit, the Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Services, Emergency Response Team and White Rock firefighters. The suite was deemed uninhabitable. Const. Janelle Shoihet said last week that the accused “doesn’t want to tell us” what the chemicals were for. Sutherland is charged with breach of probation in connection with the incident, and Shoihet said further charges are possible pending analysis of the chemicals. Shoihet said Sutherland was on probation in connection with an incident in New Westminster, in which he was charged with possession of chemicals for dangerous purposes. Court records show he pleaded guilty in October 2011 to a charge of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm in connection with an incident July 15, 2011 in Surrey.

Covered windows and a yellow sign informed customers of the Grandview store closure Thursday morning.

Best Buy has closed its Morgan Crossing store permanently. Thursday, doors were shut, brown paper covered windows and signs advised customers the store is now closed, directing them to Best Buy’s Langley and Surrey locations. The South Surrey location is one of seven Best Buy and eight Future Shop big-box stores closing across Canada, as part of a restructuring plan announced Thursday by the B.C.-based retailer. Affected Best Buy sites also include Queensborough, Nanaimo, Victoria and Langford in B.C. and Lachenaie and Sherbrooke in Quebec. Closed Future Shop sites include West Kelowna in B.C., Laval in Quebec, Regent in Manitoba, Macleod in Alberta and Ancaster, Barrie South and Erin Mills in Ontario. Security guards outside the local store Thursday said the closure had come into effect that morning. They said first-shift workers arriving at the store had been surprised by the news, but that management had been calling all other workers to inform them directly of the closure. Best Buy said affected employees will receive “severance support,” as well as access to employee assistance and career-transition programs. They will also be given hiring priority at other Best Buy and Future Shop stores, the company said, as it moves into the second phase of the restructuring plan, which will include new Future Shop SmallConcept web stores and Best-Buy Mobile locations across Canada in addition to the more traditional big-box operations.

Council is reviewing a draft Neighbourhood Concept Plan for a 497-acre tract of land in South Surrey.

Up to 4,680 residences anticipated › from page 1 The odd-shaped NCP stretches to 20 Avenue to the south, 32 Avenue to the north, 176 Street to the west and 184 Street to the east. The area is home to a wildlife corridor stretching north from Redwood Park in the south to the angular swath of Agricultural Land Reserve to the northeast. The draft plan calls for a neighbourhood centre at 177 Street and 24 Avenue, which would be the primary commercial centre for the NCP.

It anticipates between 3,274 and 4,680 residences, with a population of up to 11,887. Deb Jack, president of the Surrey Environmental Partners, said Thursday she’s happy with the plan as she sees it, and thinks the acquisition of the $45 million in green space is quite ambitious. However, the city’s own Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) had a different opinion of the development plan 18 months ago. After the initial draft plan was unveiled, the EAC said it

completely contravened the city’s own Ecosystem Management Study (EMS). “If there is any credibility to the EMS then this development should not happen,” the committee said in the minutes of its May 25, 2011 meeting. “This NCP is 100 per cent opposite to the EMS.” The next public meeting regarding the plan will be held Wednesday, Feb. 6 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Shannon Hall, 6050 176 St., with a presentation at 6:30.

Something smells in Metro

etro Vancouver is proposing a new bylaw that would penalize businesses for any potential offensive odours they may produce, claiming the bad smells to be air pollution. The idea behind the proposed bylaw makes sense. After all, no one wants to live in a neighbourhood made putrid by industry or agriculture. However, this bylaw will do little to prevent that from happening. So-called “high potential” facilities (such as animal feed production sites, rendering plants and some composting facilities) would have to obtain an air-emission permit, measure odour emissions and pay an annual fee of $5 for every individual impacted by the odour based on that estimate, to a maximum of $150,000 per year. Moderate potential facilities (such as smaller live animal processing plants and composting facilities) would have to register and pay a one-time $500 registration fee and submit an odour management plan to Metro Vancouver. Will these tax dollars benefit those living beside a stinky abattoir or mill? And will the modest fee Metro Vancouver is charging force businesses to change their smelly ways? Not likely. Instead of a bylaw that would require stinky businesses to install and run scrubbing devices that help mitigate the offensive odours they produce, Metro Vancouver is allowing businesses to buy a pass to pollute. And as one Delta councillor pointed out, Metro Vancouver’s own sewage treatment plant on Annacis Island would be conveniently exempt. If Metro Vancouver’s goal with this bylaw is to reduce air pollution, they’ve missed the mark. A bylaw requiring businesses to install technology to mitigate the stink they produce would accomplish that. But then, that’s not really the point. The only thing this proposed bylaw will do is line Metro Vancouver’s pockets.

replace Gerry St. Germain, who bid an emotional adieu as a Conservative senator for B.C. last year. St. Germain was instrumental in uniting the splintered federal Conservatives, but he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, having been appointed by Brian Mulroney in 1993 after losing his seat as an MP. Why would this senate reform be so urgent for the BC Liberals now? Well, turnout for the 2009 election fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that downward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick some BC Liberal butt. Electing senators remains a popular notion, especially with older, conservative-minded voters in B.C. who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever senate election looks like the best available shot at boosting turnout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disengaged from provincial politics. And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the movie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to produce a solution in the wake of his recent trip to Tinsel Town. The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

Find the value of Family Day

Onus is on city to investigate

An open letter to Premier Christy Clark and Finance Minister Michael de Jong. I was not pleased when our new provincial holiday, Family Day, was first announced but kind of put it out of my mind. However, with Feb. 11 now approaching, I must ask a tough question. What is the cost? In these tough economic times – and as this huge expense will hit my pocket personally – I felt I had to write. I don’t believe at the time of the announcement there was any costing done. Now somebody must pay the piper. Are you prepared to provide the information required to properly evaluate what this holiday will cost the provincial economy and nongovernment-employed taxpayers? I believe the following expenses must be included: • The direct cost to the taxpayer for the salaries of all the provincial, municipal, hospital and school district workers that will be paid for not producing anything of value. • The cost of premium wages for those same workers who must work; police, fire, ambulance, hospital, etc. • The secondary cost to private employers who will have to pay employees for not coming to work. • The secondary cost to private employers who will have to pay employees a premium wage for those that require staff to work this day. Minister de Jong, good luck in balancing your budget with the additional expense of tens of millions of dollars thrown out the window at the public service. B. Kip Leith, Surrey

An open letter to White Rock council. We live in an area of high seismic risk. Epcor’s ‘Total Water Quality Management’ proposal identifies an objective of “sustainability” which, of course, is an imperative. But I’ve not seen reported any discussion of the risk of a seismic event causing a disruption to, or cessation of, the water supply source. If chlorination is a must – which appears to warrant further

We’re paying for pollution An open letter to White Rock council. I will not be renewing my resident parking decal, which costs more each year – rising to $40 from $30 last year. Instead, I will visit local businesses on foot, happily supporting them while at the same time not supporting another tax. I also do not support council’s decision to use the above tax collected to pay additional lease money to BNSF Railway (Council renews BNSF lease, Jan. 29). The railway has become an unwelcome guest in White Rock, ripping through the heart of our community. It now helps to carry more and more coal to ‘monster’ ports. This alone is a huge local and global environmental issue. The noise, pollution and safety concerns of this volume of train traffic is our issue and needs to be addressed. The railway has overstayed its welcome and should now be dealt with accordingly. Cal Pawson, White Rock

discussion/evaluation – sustainability would be best assured by switching to perpetual rain/snow as the source by connecting to the Metro system, which apparently also employs ozone and UV purification stages to minimize chlorination. Council passed a motion Jan. 14 to investigate the cost and procedure for joining the Metro system, however, Mayor Wayne Baldwin and Coun. Louise Hutchinson voted against. It would be helpful if both would make public statements explaining the reasons why they voted ‘no.’ The motion would appear to be an action of eminent common-sense and prudence.

Epcor’s proposal is understandable. It sustains, enlarges and perpetuates Epcor’s business interests and monopoly, with the capital cost thereof being borne by White Rock taxpayers. Accordingly, it seems to me that Epcor is not in an objective position, nor is it in its interests, to question and verify the justification for the chlorination order – and the basis for the deadline date – or to evaluate connecting to the Metro system or any alternative because Epcor owns the current source. Proactive performance of these vital responsibilities is surely a fundamental function of the city. William Bartlett, White Rock

Surrey council’s rejection of a proposed casino/hotel/convention centre leaves some letter writers wanting more.

Unfinished South Surrey business Editor: Re: Casino project a bust; Coleman chides city, Jan. 22. Casino hearing ‘not a legal process,’ Jan. 29. We feel compelled to clarify the development history of the South Surrey Entertainment Complex in light of comments that have been reported following Surrey council’s recent decision on the gaming application: 1. In 2009, the City of Surrey received two separate rezoning and development applications for full service casino and entertainment complexes. Neither had the support of BCLC, and no gaming application was put forth to the city in respect of either application. 2. At a Surrey council meeting on Jan. 10, 2010, council referred the North Surrey proposal back to staff, while giving the go-ahead for the South Surrey project to proceed to public hearing. The North Surrey proposal was effectively stopped at this time. 3. A public hearing for the South Surrey proposal was held on the rezoning on Jan. 25, 2010, and council subsequently approved third reading for the rezoning, which contemplated entertainment uses including a gaming facility – clearing a very significant land-use hurdle to the location of a gaming facility at this site. 4. Gateway bought the South Surrey property in early 2012 and, following input from BCLC and the city, refined the original proposal. The project received the support of BCLC, and a formal application pursuant to gaming control legislation was submitted to the city last October to relocate our Newton facility to South Surrey. The history of the South Surrey project was well reported in the press and is a matter of public record. The public-information process that began last fall, and which culminated in the “public information meeting in the form of a public hearing” last month before Surrey city council, was governed by gaming control legislation, which requires the city to obtain adequate community input prior to approving a gaming facility. This process is separate and apart from rezoning matters which are governed under separate local government legislation. James Chen, Gateway Casinos & Entertainment n There’s been a lot of media coverage of the proposed – and now rejected – casino/convention centre/hotel project. It’s hard to tell from the coverage whether the

project was rejected primarily because it included a gaming component or whether the whole concept of a convention centre in that location was rejected. I wonder what the acceptance and rejection rates would be like if the project was family-oriented, including a hotel with a multi-use convention centre and a concert venue of the high calibre they have in Las Vegas. We would definitely be on the map as an entertainment destination and would no longer have to travel all the way downtown to hear concerts in a hockey rink where the acoustics are not worthy of the performers. As for the multi-use convention centre, I ask you to envision not only a traditional convention centre but one that can be easily converted into a sportsplex for exhibition games. Our young people could be entertained at home instead of heading to Vancouver. South Surrey has the attraction of being close to White Rock and its beautiful beaches. What more would a family want for a holiday destination? Would it be possible to have the best of both worlds – an entertainment destination and jobs for Surrey? And I ask, would it be possible for Surrey and White Rock economic development departments to work together to find developers? It would be great to see the two municipalities acting proactively on a joint project. Christine Bennet-Clark, White Rock n We were quite surprised that the casino proposal was rejected so swiftly. We thought, finally here is a chance to attract some business to the White Rock area from the Lower Mainland, as well as from south of the border. The designated area is far enough away from White Rock that it wouldn’t cause parking problems, congestion, more crime or whatever negative excuses that have been made. We are not “gamblers” so to speak, but we enjoy going to some of the casinos across the line which have great entertainment, good restaurants and generally a festive ambiance. We saw a lot of positive results for White Rock, which is basically a dying city that keeps putting up house taxes because they have no other prospects for raising money. So again, we were surprised at the lack of enthusiasm and hope it will be brought back again for consideration. D. Barros, White Rock

AN INVITATION TO AN OPEN HOUSE Please join us for the Pioneer Dog off Leash Area open house. The purpose of this Open House is to provide information and to collect community feedback for the proposed development of the Pioneer Dog off Leash Area. This area was identified as a future dog off leash area in the 2012 Dog Off Leash Area Strategy. Dog off Leash Areas are key to accommodate the growing needs of the community in the City of Surrey. Dog off Leash Areas are seen as a viable way of activating park spaces while alleviating pressure on other park spaces.

Foster Street project OK’d Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Neighbours who voiced concerns regarding a townhouse project proposed for White Rock’s Foster Street were thanked by the city’s leader last week for their well-thought-out views. But the opposition heard at a Jan. 14 public hearing didn’t sway council from voting the project forward. “On the balance of things… I’m going to have to vote in favour of the application,” Mayor Wayne Baldwin said. Council voted unanimously

(with Couns. Helen Fathers and Al Campbell absent) to give third and final reading to a zoning amendment that facilitates the two-building, 14-unit development at 1330, 1338 and 1346 Foster St. In explaining his decision to support the project, Baldwin said the proposed use conforms with the city’s Official Community Plan; the proposed density is lower than what could have been built on the site; view blockage is lessened by a corridor through the project’s centre; and it will offer more affordable-living units.

Coun. Louise Hutchinson noted proponents could have asked to build an apartment structure on the site. “It’s not a question of build this or nothing. It’s a question of build this or a three-storey apartment block,” she said. Coun. Larry Robinson also spoke in favour of the application, noting the same developer has brought projects forward before, and they’re “not always good.” “I think they’re starting to understand what we’re looking for,” he said.

Crash results ‘amazing’ Injuries to two men whose vehicle collided with a semi-trailer in South Surrey Wednesday morning were far less severe than initially believed. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the next day that the driver and passenger – Coquitlam residents aged 44 and 32 years old, respectively – were both released from hospital just hours after the crash. “It’s very good news,” Paquet said Thursday. “Our first indication was that they had been transferred with serious but non-lifethreatening injuries.” Police, firefighters and paramedics were dispatched to the intersection of 24 Avenue and 176 Street around 7:30 a.m. Jan. 30. According to the police report, the collision occurred when a northbound semi struck an Acura that was turning

left to head east on 24 Avenue. The impact sent the Acura into a traffic standard in the intersection’s northeast corner. The vehicle was “pretty much destroyed,” Paquet said. Damage was such that firefighters had to use extraction equipment to get the passengers out. “Considering all those factors, it’s absolutely amazing that both were home with their family last night,” Paquet said of the two occupants. “In those collisions, where David meets Goliath, we’re always scared what the outcome could be.” The truck driver was not injured. Area roads were closed for four hours as a result. Cause of the crash remains under investigation. - Tracy Holmes

White Rock woman shares story for World Cancer Day

The will to fight back Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

When Vee Hansen was told she had six months to live, she took a more unorthodox route to treating her Stage-4 breast cancer. She fired her oncologist. “I wasn’t ready to go yet, so I got mad. I fired him and said that I wanted a doctor that will help me and work with me, not tell me I’m going to die,” she said. “I have four grandchildren, I want to see them get bigger.” Now, five years after the diagnosis, the longtime White Rock resident, 74, said she couldn’t be happier that she decided to fight for her life. Her experience prompted her to accept an invitation to share her story for World Cancer Day on Feb. 4. This year, the focus of the day will be to dispel damaging myths and misconceptions about cancer, including the idea that cancer is a death sentence. For Hansen, there is no better person to refute that belief than herself. “I’m a firm believer that the day you are born, the day of your demise is set, but mine wasn’t just yet,” she said. “If I had gone home that day and taken that

Vee Hansen (centre) and her family, years after she was diagnosed with Stage-4 breast cancer and told she had six months to live. first oncologist’s diagnosis to heart, I wouldn’t be here. “You have to make up your mind about what you want to do.” Despite her positive outlook, Hansen admitted that she will never be cancer-free, but said her positive outlook has bought her more time. “Every once in a while I get tired, but I push myself. I’m living life like I used to 90 per cent of the time,” she said.

Since her diagnosis, Hansen has decided to make the most of her days. The doting grandmother will be going to Ottawa with her family this summer and when the weather improves, Hansen will be back to her favourite pastimes. “As soon as I can, I’m going to be back on the golf course,” she laughed.

Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

The Peninsula business community had plenty to celebrate Thursday at the South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards. In addition to honouring local business owners, the festivities – held at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club – paid recognition to the chamber’s 75th anniversary. “Businesses are the backbone of our community,” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said before presenting a certificate honouring the organization’s anniversary to chamber president Terry Ross. “Thank you for the work that you do to build your business, to contribute to our economy and to build our community.” Baldwin also made special mention of former area MLA Bill Reid – currently the executive director of the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce – touting him as “the man who probably single-handedly changed the direction of the chamber.” MLAs Gordon Hogg (SurreyWhite Rock) and Stephanie Cadieux (Surrey-Panorama) also made a presentation on behalf of the province, proclaiming the milestone anniversary of the chamber. Speaking on behalf of the City of Surrey as acting mayor, Coun.

Family Day!

16 www.peacearchnews.com

Celebrate BC’s first Family Day Monday Feb 11 Eat together ■ Family Day is the ideal time to bring your family ‘back

to the table’. Given the increasingly busy schedule of every member of the family, eating together has been a casualty of our hectic days. Whether you’re together in your home, on a mini-vacation or enjoying a local restaurant, there are numerous benefits to eating together. Sharing a table means sharing your day, sharing your undivided attention and sharing conversation. It is a chance to give extra attention to your children and teens. Family meals foster warmth, security and love, as well as a sense of belonging. The way that you act at the table becomes a model for your children. They learn from your appreciation of the meal and your social skills - especially when outside the home. Table manners are social skills and leading by example makes it easier for parents to teach without lecturing. Using family meals as a way to sample new menus can be both fun and a great learning experience. By giving family members input and the opportunity to choose the menu, it becomes an ideal way to expand their horizons on a wider range of foods and cultures. It also can lead to healthier choices as well as developing an open mind for experiencing new things. A way to get more out of a family meal is to engage the family in menu selection, shopping and preparation. You can begin this at a very young age giving children age-appropriate tasks like stirring ingredients, washing vegetables, tearing lettuce and setting the table. As your children grow they can take on more key responsibilities and the pride that comes with preparing a special family meal. This teaches your children cooking skills, nutrition and appreciation for the effort of meal preparation. It can also provide a great source of accomplishment and sense of selfsufficiency. Plan to make your Family Day special by including all those who make up your family. Pay tribute by making your meal special and so memorable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.

Explore together ■ There is no better province to explore than British Columbia and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories. They offer a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live. The variety of experiences available to families is different in each region of this spectacular province - you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the other regions in B.C. over the Family Day weekend. Whether taking SkyTrain, BC Ferries, driving, or hopping a flight, there are many ways to invest in a day of discovery. Travel is just one aspect. To maximize the experience families should involve everyone in the planning. By planning ahead you and your whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each. You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and activi-

ties, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles. Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop. Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explorations.

FAMILY DAY 2013

Create together ■ One of my favourite memories was creating an enormous piñata in preparation for a multi-family holiday. We blew up a huge bouncy ball and covered it with papier mache. Our children and those of our friends were young so after my young sons painted the ball white, I drew a score of cartoon characters, shapes and funny animals all around it. Filled with age-appropriate, small toys, puzzles and treats, the big white ball became a major activity for everyone in our three-family group. Every age took turns colouring in the shapes through-out the day, knowing when it was completed the ball would be strung up. The anticipation and excitement was heightened because the reward came with activity and was not immediate. Creating something as a family can mark an important time in your family history. It captures the age and ability of your children, your interests and a point in time. By working together on a project your family can develop new skills, collaborate on something truly memorable and enjoy what each family member brings to the endeavor. Think about all the things a family could

create together – a family album complete with stories, mementos and funny or poignant memories. Your family might be old enough to handle something more ambitious like preparing a garden, building a dog house or designing and painting a family recreation area in your home. Technology puts an amazing array of tools in the hands of today’s families. You can plan, write, film and edit a movie with your everyday computer and smartphone technology and software. Even more fun is sharing your family creation with friends around the world. You might even suggest a film festival by inviting families to create their own film and have a “popcorn premiere” to show them all. Searching online will uncover an astounding number of crafts and projects you could tackle as a family. It can be as simple as building and flying a kite. Or you may look for something you can recycle or re-purpose into a creative new item – whether a work of art or function. It’s bound to make your family members proud environment stewards as well as treasuring your time and project as a family.

He will be greatly missed. Celebration of Life: Pacific Inn, 1160 King George Blvd, Surrey on February 23, 1-5 pm. In lieu of flowers donations will be collected for The Canadian Museum of Flight.

Worked for CP Rail from 1946-1957. Joined Air Canada and served in various departments as supervisor and in management. 26 years later the golden handshake and retirement. No service will be held at the request of the deceased. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Peace Arch Hospital.
