HARD to HELP A Leader special series examines the shattering effects of mental illness

henever the woman with mental health problems got high, she’d tear off her clothes and dance naked in Surrey’s streets. Every time, police responded, got her dressed, and took her to the holding cells at the RCMP detachment to sleep it off. The next night, it would happen again. It happened with such frequency, the issue came to the attention of then-councillor Dianne Watts, who was the chair of the city’s Public Safety Committee.

Watts was deeply concerned on two main levels. Firstly, she said at the time, people who are sick don’t belong in jail. Secondly, Watts was bothered about the tremendous use of police resources to handle what was essentially a health issue. Watts spoke with others, such as addictions expert Michael Wilson, and hatched a plan for a sobering centre, where people could come off drugs and/or alcohol in a more clinical environment. Surrey could provide the land, B.C. Housing the structure, and Fraser Health Authority the staff. It took almost a decade to bring the

idea to reality, but by last September, the Quibble Creek Sobering and Assessment Centre was up and running at 13670 94A Avenue. Those who are brought to the 25-bed sobering centre are too drunk for shelters and not sick enough for hospitals. Even though it’s been operational for eight months, there’s been a slow uptake. On a recent “Welfare Wednesday,” (the day of the month when lowincome clients receive their social assistance cheques and often spend money on illicit substances), there were no clients at the 25-bed facility.

residents are willing to pony up more money for TransLink, but they’re split on exactly what kind of new tax, fee or toll should be imposed. That’s the result of a new online poll conducted by Insights West. It found 72 per cent of respondents support new funding sources for the troubled Steve Mossop transportation authority, which needs billions of dollars to launch rapid transit expansions and maintain the existing system.

Surrey e-waste recycler charged Facing federal allegations of illegally exporting hazardous material by Jeff Nagel FEDERAL CHARGES against a Sur-

rey recycling firm for the alleged illegal export of hazardous electronics to China don’t reflect the success of B.C.’s e-waste recycling system, according to a spokesman. Craig Wisehart, executive director of the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA), said the stewardship agency fully supports the prosecution of “nefarious” recyclers who send e-waste to developing countries, where impoverished workers may be poisoned by toxins. He was responding to Environment Canada’s decision to charge Surrey-based Electronics Recycling Canada with shipping cathode ray tube monitors and batteries to Macau in 2011. Company officials could not be reached for comment. “We most definitely support Environment Canada’s action in prosecuting those people who are in contravention of the law,” Wisehart said, adding the Surrey firm is not an EPRA member. Wisehart Jim Puckett said audits ensure electronics taken to EPRA-authorized depots, mostly Encorp Return-It locations, are recycled in North America. Run by electronic producers and retailers and funded by fees on new products, EPRA handled 2,000 trailer loads of B.C. electronics last year that might otherwise have gone to landfills or been illegally exported. But there’s no requirement that all e-waste get processed via EPRA, and Wisehart noted there are legitimate operators that aren’t members. Jim Puckett, executive director of the Seattle-based watchdog group Basel Action Network, says there are several “shady operators” in the Lower Mainland shipping about 30 containers a month overseas. “A lot of this is sent under the guise of helping the poor by sending old equipment for reuse,” he said, adding when a container ships out with monitors loose rather than packed with padding, it’s a warning sign they’re actually going for salvage. Much e-waste illegally shipped out of Metro Vancouver is believed to end up near Guiyu, in China’s Guangdong province, where children have high rates of lead poisoning.

Saving it… not so much. On Saturday evening, the two communities reduced their electricity use by just 1.8 and 2.9 per cent respectively during Earth Hour. Surrey was 55th and Delta 35th out of 69 B.C. communities in the power savings recorded over the one-hour period by BC Hydro. The top communities were Comox and Courtenay, which used 9.8 per cent less power. The worst-ranked were Enderby (0.2 per cent), Salmon Arm (0.2 per cent), and Chilliwack (0.3

per cent). Overall, British Columbians saved 136 megawatt hours of electricity and reduced the provincial electricity load by 1.95 per cent during Earth Hour – the equivalent of turning off more than 10 million 12.5-watt LED light bulbs. Many communities across the province successfully improved their Earth Hour energy savings from the previous year. Comox and Courtenay saw the highest reduction at nearly 10 per cent. Earth Hour is an annual global event hosted by the World Wildlife Fund and supported by BC Hydro. The goal of Earth Hour is to encourage individuals to turn off unnecessary lights and electronics to conserve power and in doing so,

demonstrate support for climate change reduction efforts. This year, many BC Hydro account holders were able to track their electricity use by logging onto MyHydro – their online account – at www. bchydro.com/myhydro. They were able to see the hourly breakdown for their account and compare Earth Hour electricity use with their use on the Saturday prior to Earth Hour. Since 2007, BC Hydro’s Power Smart programs have saved close to 4,300 gigawatt hours per year of electricity – enough to power 390,000 B.C. homes.

About half of those supporters want new cash sources balanced with some service cuts as well, while just 12 per cent opposed any new funding and say TransLink should simply make cuts. “I am shocked at the number of people who are actually open to new funding options,” Insights West president Steve Mossop said, adding the results undercut the perception of near-universal public opposition to more money for TransLink. “They’re not particularly happy with the options in front of them on how they’re to be charged, but that’s pretty common when you’re talking about taxation.” Those polled were asked if they support raising existing transit fares, property taxes or fuel taxes, or adding new tools like a vehicle levy, a regional carbon tax, new road or bridge tolls, or a dedicated regional sales tax recently proposed by mayors. The option that scored best with 37 per cent support was raising transit fares, although backing was lopsided, with regular transit users strongly opposed. But a close and “surprising” second, according to Mossop, was road and bridge tolls, with 36 per cent support and a much more balanced response from both frequent and infrequent transit users. “Out of all the evils, this is the one that seems to

have the broadest support,” he said. “On the list of bad things, it’s the least bad.” Mossop said he believes initial anger about the tolling of the Port Mann Bridge is fading fast as drivers get used to the new reality. And he said the results give more ammunition to Metro Vancouver mayors, who want the province to allow comprehensive road pricing – adding small road tolls everywhere instead of just tolling certain bridges. The option with the third most support was an annual vehicle levy, at 33 per cent, followed by a regional carbon tax at 26 per cent. The most unpopular source is the mayors’ proposal to add a new sales tax within Metro Vancouver of up to 0.5 per cent – 79 per cent of those polled opposed that idea. Also unpopular is any increase in property taxes or the gas tax, with opposition at 75 per cent and 74 per cent respectively. Mayors want the next provincial government to give the green light to either a vehicle levy, sales tax or share of carbon tax as short-term options ahead of eventual road pricing. The poll surveyed 838 Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley adults in early March. For a full results breakdown see www.insightswest.com.

Players were respectful Balanced budget legislation is a joke

I just wanted to respond to the letter a dad wrote about his daughter’s teams’ (J.L. Crowe) loss to Holy Cross in the first round of the basketball AA provincials (“Poor sports at basketball tournament,” Letters, The Leader, March 12). It is obvious to me that the dad was not there. First of all, Holy Cross

did not press and the starters played less than half the game. I think it would have been more insulting had the girls stopped playing altogether. The sad thing is that the girls could have easily won by a lot more, but held back. Saying the girls had no class is ridiculous. These girls are extremely kind and

considerate and it is unfortunate that this dad did not get his facts straight before writing his letter. I am writing as a mother and as a wife of the coach and it makes me sad and angry that someone would write something like he did.

Candid on Colebrook cameras

By puBlIcIzIng the intent of

incorporating closed circuit television cameras (CCTVs) in the Colebrook Road area, those involved in illegal activity are given an open warning. Although the public has a right to know about where their tax dollars are being spent, it doesn’t make sense to publicize where they would be put up. The whole idea to let the public know that their actions are being watched and recorded as a way to deter crime has been proven in studies by UK and American governments to not have made a significant impact on the reduction of crime. It has also been shown that only a small percentage of crimes can even be solved through the use of CCTVs. The implementation of these cameras is only going to move illegal activity from this location to another. A more positive approach would be to include the community. With the land no longer being isolated, it would no longer be a desirable location for illegal activity. Charandeep Sandhu

a letter writer suggests that simply using the possibility of setting up cameras as a warning could be enough to deter those who would use colebrook Road for criminal activities.

Mining exploration tax credit means a vote I would lIke to suggest something for the

voters of B.C. to consider when deciding who to vote for in May: The current government has established a 20-per -cent refundable mining exploration tax credit, which, for pine beetle affected lands, increases to 30 per cent. This tax credit runs through to Jan. 17, 2017 and it has already resulted in the best few years ever for investment in mineral exploration in B.C.

Not only has this tax credit resulted in exploration jobs for British Columbians, it has also resulted in increased business for motels, local airlines, community restaurants, and a host of other small businesses that rely on mining exploration activity. So, what happens if all of this comes to an end after May 14? We can choose to maintain a strong mining exploration climate by voting for a government

that supports the socio-economic well being and economic stability of our communities, or we can turn the clock back to a time when exploration investment, and the jobs it supports, went elsewhere. For me, it’s not a very hard choice to make and I know which one I will be making in May. How about you? Randy Rinaldo

Re: “Budget plans the deciding

factor” (Letters, The Leader, March 12). I would like to vote for responsible government as well. Can Sandra Robinson point me in the right direction? Surely she doesn’t mean the B.C. Liberals, under whose watch the provincial debt has doubled to almost $60 billion since they took power. Balanced budget legislation is a joke – they simply rescinded the law when they got themselves in trouble. Lowest personal taxes in Canada? Paid for by cutting services to the bone and doubling or tripling the service fees for virtually every provincial department. Add in back-door taxes like siphoning off ICBC reserves, putting BC Hydro in the deepest debt in their history while enabling them to transfer hundreds of millions to their coffers by creative bookkeeping, selling off our assets for the appearance of a balanced budget, MSP rates that go up on a regular basis, and a carbon tax and the carbon trust that take away money from families, schools, and hospitals and give it to big business. Yes Ms. Robinson, I desperately long to vote for responsible government and the Liberal party of B.C. is not it.

woman had been before the courts continuously for a decade for making bogus 911 calls, setting fires, and threatening people. The woman, who had mild mental impairment and a major depressive disorder, was under the care of her 75-year-old mother, who could no longer look after her. Eventually, the frequent offender appeared in a new court in Victoria designed for people with mental health issues. She was directed to a community response team, and under its supervision, went back on her medication and hasn’t been inside a courtroom in two years. She apologized to police for her past behaviours and is once again living peacefully with her mother in the community. This is just one of the success stories from Victoria’s Integrated Court (VIC), which is lauded provincially as one of the best ways to treat the mentally ill from a legal perspective. It’s the kind of approach Surrey is hoping to implement here. In January 2007, Mayor Dianne Watts and a contingent from

arrested for disturbance, mischief, minor theft and failure to appear in court than non-ill people.” Because of their conditions, they are more likely to be jailed, he said. “The misunderstanding and confusion that often surrounds people with mental illness may cause people to fear and view them as dangerous, when they may, in fact, represent no risk to public safety.

Victoria Police Const. laura Fluit and rick Sanderson, outreach worker with the downtown assertive Community Treatment team, outside the Victoria law Courts. The two work with repeat offenders to get them into the city’s integrated court system. Surrey city hall travelled to Midtown, New York to examine the community court system there. Accountability appeared to be key. People convicted of crimes resulting from substance abuse were sent directly to alcohol or drug treatment, usually within hours. Those appearing for spousal abuse were ordered into counselling, thieves had to repay what was stolen, and graffiti artists had to clean up their

Midtown court, and a similar one in Red Hook, New York, diverted about 200,000 cases annually from senior courts. Such diversion rates could work wonders in B.C., where statistics show one in three people in B.C. jails have mental illness – three times the amount found in the general population. Cowper noted the bulk of their crimes are relatively minor. “The mentally ill are more likely to be

vandalism. The approach lessened the burden on other courts, reduced the number of repeat offenders, and made deep cuts in the levels of petty crime. Last year, Vancouver lawyer Geoffrey Cowper was asked by the B.C. attorney general to review the province’s chronically clogged court system and in eight months came back with recommendations for wholesale changes.

Sobering centre: ‘Respectful atmosphere’ From page 1

Busier days see about nine. Kevin Letourneau, manager of Quibble Creek and nearby Creekside Detox Withdrawal Management Centre, isn’t surprised at the slow start. It took a similar facility in Victoria a year to begin filling up on a regular basis. When clients arrive at Quibble Creek, they are medically assessed and asked to change into pajamas. The only people who might be turned

away are those who are combative or are on drugs where they won’t be able to sit still, such as crystal methamphetamine. Those who are detoxing from benzodiazepines or alcohol may be referred to the hospital for their own safety. Coming off those drugs cold turkey can be fatal. However the vast majority of those who are drunk or high are welcome to stay, for a maximum of 23 hours. They arrive in equal numbers from the

hospital, police, and as walk-ins. There’s nothing plush about the centre’s surroundings. It has an institutional, sterile feel, with unadorned walls, security cameras, and solid metal chairs in the common kitchen, and overnight beds are on the floor (for clients’ safety). The only other sobering centre remotely close to this is one in Victoria, the rest throughout the province are either much smaller or run on a different model.

What clients find here is something they won’t likely find anywhere else in the health care system – a respectful and non-judgmental environment where they can reflect on what might be the most important decision of their life: to seek recovery. “It’s a very respectful atmosphere, and that’s a deliberate intent,” Letourneau said. “Prior to the sobering centre, a lot of people would have some pretty horrible experiences, depending on where they are, often

marginalized, stigmatized... there’s a lot of shame that goes along with that.” And the proof of its success is in the numbers. About one in 10 of the people walking through the doors at Quibble Creek will ask for a bed at Creekside Detox, taking the next step towards recovery. Staff at Quibble Creek have seen former clients go on to the nearby Phoenix Drug and Alcohol Recovery and Education Society, where they transition

Kevin Letourneau into full abstinence from drugs and/or alcohol. Letourneau said appropriate first contact is critical. “The number-one predictor of whether somebody is going to get on that recovery path is contact with a health care professional,” Letourneau said. “Obviously, more than that, it is being treated with respect and dignity and to be shown some options.” When the substances are out of their system, the 30 to 50 per cent of clients with mental

health problems can be properly medicated. Once that happens, Letourneau said, what seemed to be an insurmountable task in stabilizing the patient often becomes completely attainable. And that means one less person drawing on police and medical resources. Even if it was humane, addictions experts say the justlock-’em-up approach simply doesn’t work. “If the outcomes were good, we wouldn’t have to have any substance use services in the community, would we?” asked Sherry Mumford, director of mental health and addictions for Fraser Health. “Because most people with substance uses or concurrent disorders (both mental health and addiction) have an extensive history with the criminal justice system one way or another. If that model worked, I’d be out of a job.”

“Early resolution for these people frequently involves the offender accessing health or social programs,” Experts say a community court specializing in mental health would be a welcome change, as jail is one of the worst places for people with mental illness. “Imagine what it does to a person who needs health service provided to them, but is treated like a criminal,” said psychiatrist Joti Samra. “That is not where people with mental health disorders belong.” Cowper was in Surrey on March 19 speaking with a business crowd about the judicial system and the need for a community court in the city. He told the group ■ Policing – when such a court should the call of last resort be extremely focused, becomes the first allowing only those who are mentally ill and perhaps domestic violence cases. He said Vancouver’s community court – which has been open since the summer of 2008 – is suffering from trying to be too many things to too many people. Coun. Barinder Rasode also spoke at the gathering and said a community court is needed, and should be created in collaboration with RCMP, provincial social services, the Fraser Health Authority, and the courts. “(The mentally ill) would be assessed and immediately, in the same building, taken to a counsellor where they could be given a treatment plan,” Rasode said. Surrey has been lobbying for six years for community court. The decision remains with the province 4:55 PM under the ministry13-03-19 of the attorney general.

B.C. WON’T APPROVE any new net-pen salmon farms in the Discovery Islands before 2020, in line with the Cohen Inquiry’s call for a freeze in that area to safeguard migrating wild sockeye. “We’re taking the precautionary principle as the commissioner has requested,” Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said in an interview after releasing the province’s formal response to Justice Bruce Cohen’s recommendations last fall into the decline of Fraser River sockeye. The freeze applies only in the Discovery Islands off northeastern Vancouver Island, which includes a narrow channel where most sockeye pass in close proximity to numerous ocean-based salmon farms. B.C. could consider new licences in other areas of the coast, but Letnick wasn’t able to say if any applications are expected. The main operator in the Discovery Islands, Marine Harvest, has indicated it has no need for new tenures in that area, Letnick said. Cohen’s did not conclusively tie farmed salmon to the collapse of wild sockeye runs, but heard enough evidence to recommend the limited moratorium until September of 2020, while more monitoring is carried out to assess the risk from aquaculture-spread disease or other pathogens. He also recommended farms along the migration route be shut down if science can’t prove by 2020 that the risk to wild fish from aquaculture is minimal. “The government of the day in 2020 will have to make those decisions,” Letnick said in response. He said the government has also accepted the intent of the other seven Cohen recommendations that apply to the province. Some, including the replacement of B.C.’s Water Act, were already in the works, he said. Other measures require the province to work closely with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Letnick said he expects DFO to meet its obligations in B.C. despite federal budget cutbacks. No single culprit – not fish farms, overfishing, pollution, natural predators or global warming – got primary blame for the two-decade decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon in the report of the judicial inquiry. Aquaculture industry reps had previously said Cohen’s recommendations would have very little impact on them. Cohen was appointed by the federal government after less than 1.5 million sockeye returned in 2009, far fewer than the more than 10 million expected. The latest forecast calls for an improved run of about 4.8 million this summer.

Excalibur party: The quest for candidates Abbotsford man gets mythological with his new political party as it readies for May 14 election An Abbotsford man has cre-

ated a new political party that bases some of its values on an ancient idea. Michael Halliday named his new entity the B.C. Excalibur Party, and he uses the name and image of the legendary magical sword yielded by King Arthur. The sword logo, which includes the words truth, honour and justice, is a symbol of what his party stands for. “It (Excalibur) was a symbol that united the country and

gave them a golden age… at a time when things were falling apart,” said Halliday. He feels it is a fitting analogy for today’s society, which he said is collapsing. Halliday said he made the decision to create the new party after talking to voters. About 85 per cent of the people he spoke to said they either weren’t going to vote in the May election or didn’t know what party to support. “People are so disgruntled with the parties out there right now that we need something new and different and that’s

what the Excalibur Party is.” While he knows it’s a late start for his party, Halliday said he is trying to attract people who are willing to run as candidates. So far he has about eight people who are interested, though none has officially confirmed. “I want to run the full slate of candidates; that’s my goal.” He admits that will be difficult to attain. Halliday ran for office in the 2009 B.C. election as an independent in the riding Vancouver-False Creek. He plans to run this year in Chilliwack.

“My power base is more in Chilliwack,” he said. Using the name Excalibur has prompted some people to ask Halliday if he’s serious about politics or just joking around. He understands that concern. “It is for real and there is that problem, but at the same time it’s a name that people instantly recognize and understand and some people instantly know what it is and I get real strong reactions with the symbolism of it,” he said. For more on the party, visit www.bcexcaliburparty.com

Michael Halliday has created a new political party in b.C. the Abbotsford man calls it the b.C. Excalibur Party and he’s looking for members to run in the May election. KEVIN MILLS / BLACK PRESS

Conservatives dangle tax credit for tolls, fares Rebate would help hard-hit motorists: Cummins

by Jeff Nagel

B.C. votes

THE B.C. Conservatives

Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation B.C. Director Jordan Bateman applauded the party for making bridge tolls an election issue. But he said it’s not clear to him how many drivers would benefit from the credit since they have to spend at least $760 each year in tolls or fares to qualify. And he questioned the Tories’ reliance on a high economic growth rate to generate more revenue. “At least they’re putting the high fees on the agenda,” Bateman said. “The diagnosis is correct. I’m just not sure if the medicine will actually cure the problem.”

band didn’t demand a chance to buy the Admiralty Point land or include it as future treaty settlement lands. “I haven’t seen a piece of Crown land, federal or provincial, that First Nations haven’t said they want,” Drew said, noting the Squamish Nation wanted Stanley Park prior to a 2008 decision to renew its 99-year federal lease. Aboriginal bands that buy fee simple property must abide by local and regional plans that designate it for park use. But Drew noted that if the land was bought and then converted to Indian reserve status under Ottawa’s controversial new additionsto-reserve process, existing land-use restrictions wouldn’t apply and the band could build anything, including waterfront condos. Another “distinct possibility”, according to Drew, is that Port Metro Vancouver could ask for the property to add to its inventory of waterfront industrial land for eventual port expansion. Port Metro Vancouver officials said they’re not interested because the land lacks rail access. Drew sounded the alarm on the issue this week after his council passed a resolution demanding the federal government either give or lease Admiralty Point to Metro Vancouver to preserve it as park in perpetuity for future generations. Port Moody council is expected to consider a similar resolution next week. “It’s a critically important park asset for Metro Vancouver,” Drew said. “Islands of beauty and refuge are rare commodities.” Admiralty Point was originally marked off for military use in 1860. Col. R.C. Moody figured its strategic location overlooking Burrard Inlet, Port Moody Arm and Indian Arm made it the ideal spot for a cannon to deter attackers. It’s been parkland for more than a century, since Ottawa leased it first to the City of Vancouver in 1913 and later to the regional district.

Welcome Centre’s program helps newcomers read

Black Press By the time teacher Kris Hull finished his half-hour presentation at L.A. Matheson Secondary on the work of the district’s Welcome Centre, 600 children in developing and impoverished countries had died. That was one of the tragic statistics on the first PowerPoint slide he showed them, and it stuck. But it also motivated students in the school’s social justice class to assist some of the thousands of child immigrants and refugees who end up in Canada every year, many fleeing the poverty, hunger and preventable illnesses prevalent in their countries of origin. “Books are not a big or easily attainable resource for them because they cost a lot of money,” said Grade 12 student Raman

Shetta. “We thought what’s more beneficial to give them than books to help enhance their reading, learning and communication skills.” After Hull’s presentation to Raman’s social justice class at L.A.

been able to read the titles, but each student couldn’t wait to touch, hold and study the words and images on the pages. “It was amazing to see them react after we just put the books on the table for them,” said Amritpal. “You could see how much they appreciated it.” All four girls are avid readers, and so the idea of a book drive was personally appealing. Knowing most of the students could not read English well or at all, they each spent time reading one of the donated books to groups of rapt students during their visit to the Welcome Centre. “I have an enormous passion for reading, and helping another kid find that same passion is worthwhile to me,” said Aleena. The L.A. Matheson students credit their teacher Annie Ohana, who sponsors the social justice class, for inspiring them to make the world a better place. “She brought the program to Matheson and really championed it to the students,” said Sarah. Added Raman: “She’s gone above and beyond for this class. She’s amazing and I don’t know how she does it.” Students collected between 20 and 25 boxes of books. Works that didn’t go to the Welcome Centre will be distributed to other under-resourced programs in Surrey, including low-income daycare centres. The English Language Learner Welcome Centre assists English Language Learner (ELL) students and their families with their integration into the Surrey School District and the community. The Welcome Centre’s Bridge program is for students between 15 and 19 who face literacy, education, social and communication barriers due to language and cultural differences or mental and emotional issues as a result of traumatic experiences. Students come from all around the world, including Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the Philippines, Vietnam, Ukraine, China and Greece.

Cressey is giving that view to all of its residents by placing two floors of amenities space on the top floors of its upcoming MThree development. “MThree will be the tallest building in Coquitlam at 48 storeys,” says Cressey’s Hani Lammam. “You can see ocean essentially.” The top two floors of the building will be made almost entirely of glass, and will hold a fitness facility, musical practice rooms, lounge and outdoor barbecue space, among other things.

There will still be penthouse-style homes in the development. Cressey has tried this experiment before, at their recent Southeast False Creek development, James. “It was wildly successful,” Lammam says. “People can host parties and gatherings in the space. It gives them a bit more space to entertain.” James also includes an outdoor space, secure children’s play area and community garden plots on its roof. “This kind of space draws people there,” Lammam says. For more information about MThree, visit www.liveatmthree.com or call 604-472-9555.

Life on the river

Riverfront living at Richmond’s Parc Riviera By Kerry Vital

Richmond is known as the Island City By Nature, and nowhere is this more evident than at Parc Riviera, in scenic North Richmond. “This is a waterfront location with a ton of green space,” says sales and marketing director Dave Bauman. “The dyke trail is right in your front yard.” Along with the dyke, there is five acres of park and green space right in Parc Riviera, as well as family picnic areas and playgrounds for the kids. There is also a large clubhouse on-site with a lap pool, hot tub, fitness centre, lounge and a 5,500-square-foot daycare facility. There are plans in the works for a restaurant and retail space in the future. “People love the life on the river,” Bauman says. “It’s hard to beat that.” In order to maximize the views from every home, the buildings will be constructed in a stepped design from four to six storeys.

bridge, Bauman says. This makes for an easy commute for those working outside of Richmond. The Vancouver International Airport is easily accessible, as well as the Knight Street bridge and East-West Connector/Highway 91. Shopping is less than five minutes away, along with dining and elementary and secondary education at one of Richmond’s excellent schools. If you’re in the mood for some exercise beyond the dyke, the Richmond Olympic Oval and Cambie Community Centre are just minutes away by car. “This is a master-planned community that offers a great value,” Bauman says. The first phase is currently selling. Homes start at the mid-$200,000s for a condo and low $400,000s for a townhome. For more information, visit www.parcriviera.com or call 604-231-5900.

“

This is a master-planned community that offers a great value,” says sales and marketing director Dave Bauman.

The two- and three-bedroom homes in a range of condominium and townhome floorplans are spacious and open, with nine-foot ceilings and chic hardwood flooring throughout the living and dining areas. There will be outdoor space for every home, including an oversized balcony with granite tile flooring. The modern kitchens feature quartz countertops complemented by a glass tile backsplash, under-cabinet LED lighting and stainless-steel appliances, including a gas cooktop. Select homes will include a convenient breakfast bar as well. The bathrooms are luxurious and relaxing, with their own quartz countertops and a full-height imported porcelain shower surround with polished accents. A soaker tub from Maax is also included in the bathroom, along with large-format imported porcelain tile flooring. Parc Riviera will be located just two minutes from the Oak Street

Parc Riviera is currently selling its first phase, encompassing more than 200 homes. Eventually, the development will hold over 1,000 homes in a range of condominium and townhome floorplans.

Student-run Financial Literacy program

for Single Mothers wins Redefining Success Contest

Booster Juice Central City provides a $1,500 grant for Hunger Actions, a financial literacy and nutrition program run by SFU students, through the Redefining Success contest. Hunger Actions is dedicated to instilling nutritional knowledge and financial literacy education to low-income families across Greater Vancouver. This year, Hunger Actions is working with single mothers groups in the YWCA, Salvation Army, and the Open Door Society. Through workshop series and interactive cooking sessions, the program is focused on improving the nutritional health and wellness of its participants. Recently, the program was chosen as 1 of 15 winners of the Walmart Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Empowerment project partnership, winning $1,500 to jumpstart the reach and scale of the program. In the last 2 months, Jeff Cooley, franchisee of Booster Juice Central City, has provided over $3000 worth of funding and resources to Hunger Actions. During the Christmas season, as an act of support to the cause, Cooley generously donated an $80 gift basket to each of the 22 single mothers participating in the program from the YWCA and Salvation Army. Hunger Actions is a program under Enactus SFU, a not-for-profit organization that takes entrepreneurial action to improve the quality of life and standard of living for those in need in the community.

Black Press With EastEr just days away, and a tradition of gift giving around this time of year, the BC SPCA urges the public to not buy bunnies as Easter gifts. Craig Naherniak, general manager of humane education for the BC SPCA, says it may come as a surprise that rabbits and chil-

dren are not a great match. “Rabbits are great companions for adults, but are not appropriate pets for small children despite the pervasive media images of children with rabbits,” he says. “They don’t like to be picked up, as they are prey animals and picking them up distresses them. Like any pet, they

require proper care and can live up to 12 years.” Each year SPCA branches across the province receive hundreds of abandoned bunnies after the holiday has passed and the excitement of a new pet has worn off and the reality of pet care sets in. “The animals who are turned in at SPCA shelters are the lucky ones,”

says Naherniak. “Many others are abandoned to the wild to fend for themselves. “These domesticated rabbits often fall prey to predators such as coyotes, are susceptible to disease, or end up starving.” People who are prepared and willing to make a commitment to a pet rabbit should learn about what caring for this unique and wonderful animal involves. Rabbits sleep during the day, need fresh vegetables, Timothy hay, and pellets to stay healthy, and should also be spayed or neutered to prevent unwanted litters and to reduce territorial aggression. Like cats, rabbits can easily be trained to use a litter box. They also need exercise, daily grooming, and a varied diet that includes chew items that will keep the rabbit’s constantly growing teeth worn down. They should be housed indoors, which means guardians must rabbitproof their home, which includes concealing exposed electrical cords and providing enough safe, chewable toys so the rabbit won’t be tempted to chew on other items, such as furniture and books. The total cost for food, bedding, and other necessities will run $3,000 to $4,000 over the animal’s lifetime. So if you can go the distance, adopt a bunny. But be honest with yourself – the plush or chocolate kind will give a lot of pleasure to your children or significant other and is the kinder and more responsible choice, both for you and the animal.

Erhart, however, expected him to be ready for the conference finals, which begin Friday. “It’ll be nice to have these couple days off to get our team back up healthy and 100 per cent,” he said. The Coastal Conference final – a

best-of-seven series – begins Friday at South Surrey Arena. And though happy that the threegame sweep gives his players time to rest – and the coaches time to plan for the next round – Erhart admitted the series was closer than the 3-0 score would suggest. “In Game 1, I thought we were the better team, but Game 2 easily

An age-friendly grant DeltA seniors will benefit from a $20,000 age-friendly

grant to help address the needs of the municipality’s senior residents. The Corporation of Delta is one of 27 communities receiving grants for 2013. “Age-friendly projects like the one here in Delta are helping B.C. seniors to remain independent and involved in their communities,” said Minister of State for Seniors Ralph Sultan. “Seniors right around the province have told me that isolation is a key issue for them and I am pleased that this pilot bus service will provide North Delta seniors with additional transit options, allowing them to get out in the community and engage in healthy activities.” The Corporation of Delta will use the grant to undertake planning for the North Delta Seniors’ Bus pilot program. The bus will provide seniors with accessible, affordable and reliable transportation options and offer convenient access to seniors’ activity centres, shopping, local medical services, banking and other community amenities. The age-friendly planning and project grant program is a partnership between the government of B.C. and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM).

After a recent victory, the enver creek secondary students will compete in the VeX robotics high school world championship in Anaheim, california in April.

Students ready for robot wars

hen it comes to robotics, students at Enver Creek Secondary play games pretty seriously. In what their coach calls a real nail-biter, the team of Rishabh Singal, Munraj Grewal, Pruby Dosanjh and Paul Nagra defeated 43 other teams in a game of “Sack Attack” to win the top award at the Pacific Youth Robotics Society’s B.C. season opener. The victory earned them a spot in the 2013 VEX Robotics High School World Championship, which takes place April 17 to 20 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA. “It’s unheard of for a team to win on its first time out like these guys did,” says teacher/coach Travis Burroughs. “Usually, it takes more time to get used to working as a team and become accustomed to competition.” This is only the second time a Surrey school has qualified for the nationals. In 2007, at team from Sullivan Heights Secondary won a spot at the world

competition in Atlanta, GA. Burroughs credits the long hours his students put in before school, at lunch, after school and in the evenings – until the custodian had to lock up. “It was all their hard work and dedication. They have great dynamics and are all very committed to their robot.” Enver Creek hosted the robotics competition opener, which pitted multiple teams from 19 different schools around the Lower Mainland against each other in a test of their ability to design and build a superior remotecontrolled robot. Played on a 24-square-foot field, Sack Attack requires the robots to place sacks in designated spots on the field, including into troughs and at heights. Competitors can also remove their opponents’ sacks from these spots. After three hours of round-robin play, 24 teams – including three from Enver Creek – advanced to the elimination round, with one making it all the way to the end.

“Their robot design was one of the best I’d ever seen,” said Enver Creek principal Tim Cross. “In the future, these are the kids who are going to be our engineers and are going to be improving the things that we take for granted daily.” The robotics competition relies heavily on the students’ ability to think critically and come up with creative solutions to complex problems. There are three more robotics qualifying competitions taking place in the Pacific Northwest this year, and Cross says the other two Enver Creek robotics teams are also hoping to earn a spot at the world championships. For the team that’s already been guaranteed their spot, the focus is now on honing their skills, improving their robot design and fundraising the $5,000 the team needs to pay for the trip. Anyone interested in contributing can contact Cross at Enver Creek Secondary at 604-543-8149.
