Escape from a war-torn country Palestinian refugee leaves Syria, reunites with fiancé; to be married soon Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

After five years apart, Wissam’s and Marwa’s wait is over. On Tuesday, Marwa O’da arrived at Vancouver International Airport into the waiting arms of her Burnaby fiancé Wissam Nassar. “When I saw her … she was running and I hugged her,” said Wissam. “I was shaking, my heart was beating too fast … I was in another world.” With Wissam translating her Arabic, Marwa said, “I thought now I’m in a dream.” As reported in the NewsLeader, the couple has been waiting seven years to start new lives together. Now 26, Wissam and Marwa were both 19 when they met in Syria. Both are third-generation stateless Palestinians whose grandparents were forced out of Palestine in 1947, when the territory became Israel, and settled in Iraq where their parents and they themselves were born. Wissam and his family left Iraq for Syria after he and his brother were each threatened and ordered to leave the country due to their Sunni Muslim religion when sectarian conflict divided Sunni and Shia. But only two years after meeting Marwa, Wissam and his family were forced by the Syrian government, along with other stateless Palestinians, out of the country to a United Nations refugee camp. Marwa’s family was allowed to stay behind due to her sister’s kidney disease which required regular hospital treatment but were trapped amid Syria’s civil conflict. As stateless Iraqi Palestinians they are not allowed to enter the neighbouring Lebanon, Jordan or Turkey. Eventually, Wissam’s family was sponsored by Ian and Heather Macdonald, Westminster Presbytery of the United Church and the Burnaby-based B.C. Muslim Association to come to Canada in 2011. please see CoupLe, A4

New thrift shop to benefit Edmonds-area schools

Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

With Burnaby’s Value Village set to close in the future to make way for redevelopment of its Edmonds-area property, a new thrift store is readying to fill the void. Burnaby Association for South East Side (BASES) Family Thrift Store is scheduled to open Oct. 1 at a long-vacant former car lot at 7666 Kingsway. BASES formed in 2010 to assist at-risk children and families in the Edmonds area, home to a large number of new immigrants, refugees and low-income families. Proceeds from the thrift store will go towards programs at area schools such as breakfast and after-school programs, sports, music, arts and summer camps. “Hopefully they won’t have to keep looking for grants, WANDA CHOW/NEWSLEADER Peggy Woodruff helps put on a coat of paint at the future home of the BASES Family Thrift Store spending all that time and energy,” said Peggy Woodruff, scheduled to open Oct. 1 to benefit programs at southeast Burnaby schools. treasurer for BASES.

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Chastising chanters The news about frosh chants at the University of B.C. and St. Mary’s University in Halifax has shone the light of publicity on some of the less-desirable aspects of campus life at many of Canada’s post-secondary institutions. The chants portray young women as sex objects and glorify violence against women. They are far more than the “school spirit” chants which student leaders say they are. While the respective student societies say they are disciplining the leaders of the specific organizations involved, this is not enough. University leaders and governments may have to become involved. University administrations have to start getting much tougher with student organizations, and demand far more accountability. This applies in the area of finances, elections, conflict of interest and, as highlighted in this case, initiation procedures. Provincial governments also have a role to play in this — something they have shied away from. These universities are under the control of provincial legislatures, and most of their operating funds come from taxpayers. It is appalling that institutions which are supposed to train young people to take their place as responsible adults allow such behaviour to take place. The fact that these frosh chants are supposed to be kept under wraps, and that participants are forced to take part in them, makes matters even worse. Universities are supposed to be places for free expression, not forced behaviour. Provincial Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk and other provincial governments need to set strict guidelines for student societies, and immediately suspend those societies which do not comply with basic rules of responsible behaviour. —Langley Times/Black Press

Summer’s end - how to keep it going? As a kid, I recall watching my dad swimming, and floating on his back in the water. It was like this amazing magic trick. It seemed he could do it as long as he liked—just float there, gazing up at the sky. I’d try and try, but sink like a stone. On Labour Day, the last day of summer for many people, my wife and I were out with our boys at Crescent Beach. The day was hot so I had a swim. The water was deliciously warm, and I tried my dad’s trick again. Eventually, I let go—mastering the knack of trying not to try— and felt a fantastic sensation as my head went back and my hips rose to the surface, almost of their own accord. My envy of my dad’s magic trick was justified: it felt fantastic. I could have stayed for hours. A day later, my short holiday was over and I went back to work and all that entails. We ushered our oldest son to Grade 2 and the youngest into daycare. It was back to packing lunches, planning meals, and signing the kids up for activities, skirting

Chris Bryan that fine line between enough “exposure” to new things and driving us all bonkers with a jammed schedule. For many of us, the first week of September is a time of excitement about new activities and projects, but for me there’s trepidation about overscheduling life and resenting it later. As life gets busy, carefree downtime evaporates. This past summer was one of my most enjoyable in years. The glorious stretch of sun helped, as did visits with family. A good summer can give you that sensation of floating. Life just seems so much simpler, easier than the rest of the year. The future, if your mind wanders that way, seems a quaint, imaginary place over the horizon. And when you’re on a holiday

out of town, those feelings are magnified as you visit new places, enjoy the calm, the sun, the food, and wonder if it’s possible that life could always be thus. My wife and I gave the kids a break with their grandparents and spent the August long weekend in Montreal where we walked, cycled, meandered, and ate and drank our way around a city that seemed created for enjoying life. Residents seemed to spend their days migrating from café to bistro to bar. Patios were jammed. We also spent a little time in the Gulf Islands this summer, swimming, exploring, reading and skipping stones. Life was spent barefoot. It’s at times like this that people often muse about a “big change” in life. Could I live here? they ask. Sipping a bowl of coffee at 11 a.m. on a sidewalk patio I wondered: Wouldn’t it be great to live in Montreal all the time? How about Gulf Island living? Maybe buy a boat, a kayak? Learn to sculpt or paint? Write crime novels?

Browsing the local real estate listings is a common symptom of this state of mind. For most, it’s pure fantasy. A chance to briefly inhabit another life, if only in their mind. The rational, left brain is put into neutral. That’s the boring side that, when the time comes, is only too happy to remind us that our heads are in the clouds. That we’re seeing life through a summer lens, a time when life everywhere is different. Come back to Montreal in December, it sneers, when that sidewalk patio is buried under a freshly ploughed snow. And you think the Gulf Islands are peaceful now? Try January when it’s as quiet as the interior of an abandoned mine shaft. But hey, we all need to float a little sometimes. And when September returns, and we get back to our routines, many of us wish we could just float a little longer. Who knows? Maybe, like my dad’s trick, with a little practice, it just might be possible. twitter.com/chrismbryan

COMMENT Re: Killing TransLink and regional vision (NewsLeader, Sept. 6) The Gordon Price column was a solid response to the negativism of Jordan Bateman, local propagandist for the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. Mr. Bateman has lifted his script from the U.S. Republican playbook: say nothing constructive; employ the term bureaucrat as a pejorative; bang on about uncontrolled costs, extravagance and stratospheric salaries, while insinuating that union members have their grasping fingers around the taxpayer’s windpipe. Oh, and I have almost neglected the charge that the supposed paladins of incompetence don’t give a toss about democracy. The federation claims to have a support base of 84,000. This, if true, means that Mr. Bateman and companions are demolition experts representing a minuscule sliver of the country’s 14 million, plus, taxpayers earning more than $10,000 a year. Be warned, these people want to drive the bus so they can smash it up. Mark Wilson New Westminster

LET’S PIT WORKHORSE AGAINST THE CADILLAC Gordon Price and Jordan Bateman speak in generalities— “no new taxes” vs. “more tax for the greater good.” We’ve heard both themes before. Rhetorical absolutes are easy but what we need is a way to deal with the specifics. A referendum across the region could easily be decided by those who will benefit voting taxes onto those who won’t benefit. Instead, the mayors and selected council members should sit down with the province and make a comprehensive list of the next necessary extensions of transit with a focus on necessary. I believe this list includes the Evergreen Line (finally started), rail south of the river and then the UBC extension. The TransLink board and their resident experts should then cost out these options as accurately as possible and then decide how long they will take

under the present budget. If any part of the region wants to upsize or fast-track their next extension, they should hold a city referendum on paying for the difference from their own local tax base. I used to ride the original 99 B-Line from Lougheed Town Centre to UBC. It took a little over 40 minutes and was just as nice as SkyTrain. And don’t forget, rubber wheels can run the day after an earthquake. Tunnels can cave and aerial guideways can fall down. Drivers on wheels can drive around the rubble. There are cheaper options than high-tech rail isolated by expensive tunnel or guideways. We should be saying to each other: “If you want a workhorse system, I’ll help pay for it. If you want a Cadillac, you pay for it.” Any referendum should have as a main option the cheapest possible method. Albert Melenius Burnaby

CITY DIDN’T DO ITS RESEARCH Re: New pitbull rules may keep them muzzled (NewsLeader, Sept.11) I am disappointed with the recommendations from City of Burnaby staff to not only keep the Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) in place for dogs, but make it more restrictive for pet owners. Considering the city had a year, I’m shocked they did so little research. With many other municipalities recently going through the same process, why has Burnaby not seen fit to consult with any of them? Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, New Westminster, North Vancouver and Delta have all removed BSL from their animal control bylaws in recent years and replaced them with breed neutral laws. The report provided to council was lacking in many areas, but most disappointing was the fact city staff looked to the U.S. for data to support their position regarding BSL. I assume this was done because there is no Canadian data available which maintains that BSL works. Kristen Neratini Burnaby

TARGET THE OWNERS, NOT THE BREED Re: New pitbull rules may keep them muzzled (NewsLeader, Sept. 11) Let’s make the fines higher for those who mistreat their dogs and make them vicious, rather than attacking a certain breed of dog or a dog that looks of a certain breed—that doesn’t make any sense. Let’s fine the people who make their dogs vicious, regardless of breed. All breeds bite. Period. Get to the core of the problem. Not pitbulls, but humans. Burnaby, please look at the City of Calgary and see what they have done with their dog regulations. Calgary has the lowest amount of dog bites in North America, and there is no such thing as a dangerous breed according to them. Mia Takhar Richmond

FIRST WE TAKE THE SENATE Re: Senate is used as tool to consolidate power (Letters, NewsLeader, Sept. 11) I absolutely agree with you on that. Abolishing the PMO will be a much harder task than the Senate. But we can start by dumping the Senate. Andrew McInally —online comments burnabynewsleader.com

Food drive aims to collect 400,000 lbs this year It is perhaps one of the simplest food drives you could imagine. Between Monday and Wednesday this week (Sept. 16-18), the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive will drop off flyers and donation bags at homes along routes throughout Burnaby and New Westminster. The flyer will indicate the collection day, which is Saturday, Sept. 21. Then all you have to do is fill the bag with a donation of nonperishable food items and place it on you doorstep before 9:30 a.m. on the designated day. This B.C. food drive was inspired by a similar event in Calgary that started in 1997 when Jeffrey Jacob set out to rally his friends and fellow church congregants in taking on the challenge of fighting hunger in his neighbourhood. The method was straightforward and very effective: they asked their neighbours to leave food donations on their doorsteps on a designated day, then gathered them up and delivered them to the local food bank.

CHOICEquotes Andrew Rolfson It’s been really something. The volunteers out there are amazing, it’s really taken off. It’s been a great experience.

The project expanded over the years, and in 2008 Calgary’s drive set a world record, collecting more than $1,000,000 in support for the hungry in a single day. The B.C. drive picked up on Jacob’s great idea and brought it to this province in 2009, when the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive (BCTFD) began as a local effort by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Burnaby. Now in its fifth year, the project includes dozens of partner organizations and food banks serving some 50 cities throughout British Columbia. The BCTFD is nondenominational and open to all interested individuals, community groups, religious organizations, businesses or others who wish to help attend to the needs of the hungry. BCTFD executive director

Andrew Rolfson said he had a lot of work the first couple of years getting the B.C. drive going but now it’s taken on a life of its own. “It’s been really something,” Rolfson said. “The volunteers out there are amazing, it’s really taken off. It’s been a great experience.” More than 7,000 volunteers are expected to be helping out this year, and the B.C. drive aims to collect about 400,000 pounds of food in just four hours for local food banks. To protect against fraud and other abuses, the BCTFD conforms to Food Banks British Columbia’s code of ethics, which specifically means they do not collect or solicit cash contributions door-to-door.

Numbers in city report disputed ⫸

from page a5

Of those, 52 were by pitbulls, down from 59 originally reported, Jorgenson said. That makes up 10.9 per cent of the total overall bites. Identifying the breed of dog involved “can at times be complex,” she explained, and the change in numbers comes from working with the BC SPCA and applying “a more conservative definition.” She added, “The conclusions in the report remain unchanged.” Pitbulls continue to make up the largest proportion of bites recorded. Jorgenson added that the report also did not include the results of a second petition the city received in July in which 172 signatures from people in a number of municipalities called for the removal of the breed-specific legislation. That’s in addition to the 425-signature petition mentioned in the report (of which 174 signatures were from Burnaby residents), calling for pitbulls being removed from the vicious dog definition. Other proposed changes in the bylaw range from adding a list of prohibited animals in the city, including poisonous or venomous reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates, and increasing the number of dogs allowed per household from two to three. The other contentious issue, on whether pet stores should be banned from selling animals, will be the subject of a future staff report. twitter.com/WandaChow

The Canadian Football League scouting bureau has ranked former New Westminster Hyack linebacker Casey Chin 12th for the 2014 CFL Canadian draft. Chin is in his senior season at Simon Fraser University after graduating from New Westminster secondary and being one of the captains of head coach Farhan Lalji’s squad. The 12th place ranking would make him an early second-round pick. Chin is coming off a two-interception, 10-tackle performance in the Clan’s opening game of the season, an upset victory on the road against the Humboldt State Lumberjacks. He has led the Great Northwest Athletic Conference in tackles the last two seasons. Another former Hyack, Tyler Digby, was selected in the fourth round of the 2013 CFL draft by the expansion Ottawa Redblacks. The tight end is currently finishing off his senior season at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh where he is also on the field lacrosse team.

A win for Olympic wrestling, a loss for softball SFU coaches reflect on implications of IOC decision Kolby Solinsky Black Press

HOME GROWN

GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY STARTING AT ONLY

On the weekend, Tokyo was named host city for the 2020 Summer Olympics, beating out Turkey and Madrid. But last weekend’s decisions didn’t stop there. On Sunday, the IOC also reinstated wrestling, just in time for Rio’s 2016 bash. With 49 votes, wrestling smashed the joint effort from softball/baseball (24 votes) and squash (22). Neither sport made the grade, and neither will be represented in Rio. “Obviously, we’re disappointed,” said Mike Renney, head softball coach at SFU. “The Olympics is a pinnacle stage, so everyone wants to be on that stage.” “We just got caught in a political tug of war,” he added. “It anything, wrestling’s an iconic Olympic sport... if it came down to it, I would have probably voted for wrestling, too.” Softball launched its bid in partnership with baseball, although the alliance came with both high risk and high reward. Not only does baseball already have the World Series and its own man-made international championship – the World Baseball Classic – but Major League Baseball has not been willing to postpone or halt its season, meaning superstars won’t get to be Olympians.

COURTESY SFU SPORTS

Simon Fraser University wrestler Victoria Anthony (left), a U.S. resident, won Team USA’s world team wrestle-off challenge to earn a spot on the squad that will compete at the world championships in Budapest, Hungary Sept. 16-22.

On the diamond, there’s despair. But on the mats, the news couldn’t be better for Simon Fraser University’s athletic staff and its wrestling coach, Mike Jones. Jones says softball and squash were dogged by a voting process that pitted also-rans against a sport like wrestling, which has been a part of the Olympics since the Games began. “It was pretty much a slamdunk that wrestling had to go back in, it was one of the core sports all along,” Jones said. “It just kills softball and squash – they at least deserved a chance at being in it.” After the IOC pushed wrestling out of the Olympics in February, the sport’s ruling body FILA began to look inward and began to reform. (Olympic officials told FILA the sport lacked leadership and failed to entertain spectators, who were either bored or didn’t understand the rules or the scoring.)

“They were arrogant,” said Jones, on wrestling’s governing body. “The whole process has actually forced the international body to look at everything and try to clean up some things, for example make it more genderequitable.” All three sports made presentations to the IOC, and wrestling’s showcase was strengthened by two Canadians – both SFU grads – in male gold medallist Daniel Igali (Sydney, 2000) and female gold medallist Carol Huynh (Beijing, 2008). Softball and squash can still vie for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and the 2024 Olympics, the location of which has yet to be determined. “Softball BC is naturally disappointed our sport was not chosen by the IOC delegates, but we remain excited at the opportunities still ahead for our sport here in B.C.,” said Rick Benson, COO of the BC Amateur Softball Association, in a statement.

Cities object to demands of new recycling bosses Mayors say unfair MMBC offer means higher costs or worse service Jeff Nagel Black Press

Cities across B.C. are crying foul over the rollout of a new recycling agency that the provincial government has put in charge of blue box pick up.

And Metro Vancouver mayors want B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak to intervene to keep their curbside recycling programs from being thrown into chaos from the changes coming next year. Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC), an industry stewardship group made up of major retailers and producers, is set to

take responsibility for collecting and recycling packaging of all sorts by next May as a result of new provincial regulations. It has promised to let interested municipalities continue to run their own recycling operations by acting as contractor, if that’s what they prefer. But the cities say the prices offered by MMBC are far too The province is in the process of rolling out a new recycling agency that will oversee blue box in the region.

Port Coquitlam estimated that could add up to $3 million per year in their city, although MMBC says fines will be capped at $120,000. If MMBC takes over, cities face the prospect of terminating contracts with either their unionized staff or an outside contractor, and potentially being on the hook for unrecoverable capital costs for trucking fleets and other infrastructure. Brodie said it may be workable in more rural areas of B.C. where no blue box pick up exists, suggesting the program be first piloted it in those regions ahead of urban areas. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon rejects claims the proposed contracts short-change cities on collection costs, adding programs in 23 cities were reviewed to determine fair pricing. “We think those costs, based on our research, provide for compensation for an efficient and effective system,” Langdon said. He said cities that don’t like how the system unfolds can terminate their contracts without penalty on six months notice, or opt for dispute resolution. Langdon defended the short notice for cities to sign up, saying timelines are tight to identify collectors and processors for a May 19 launch.

Dancer influenced by Brazilian style Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynewsleader.com

When Farley Johansson was a little tyke he would get bored hanging around during his older sister’s dance classes. He’d get himself into trouble by doing things like climbing into dryers, so at the age of three they added ballet to his soccer and hockey activities. One day his father saw an audition notice for the Royal City Youth Ballet Company’s production of The Nutcracker. When he went to register, a woman came running down the line and grabbed Johansson by the collar. His appearance had apparently caused quite a stir amongst the ballet’s organizers. “In dance guys are often few and far between,” says Johansson. It was the start of a lengthy relationship with RCYB and with New Westminster’s Kirkwood Dance Academy, which he has parlayed into a successful dance career not only in Canada but in New Zealand, Australia and Europe with a Brazilian flavour. This week, he’ll be performing his own work at Dances for a Small Stage 29 in Vancouver.

From 1993 to 1998, Johansson would go to school in the morning and train with Kirkwood every afternoon. “It’s such a good vehicle for dancers to gain experience,” says the 34-year-old Burnaby resident of his RCYB and Kirkwood Academy days. Instructor Li Ya Ming showed Johansson how to work with a partner and how to lift her. “He was a tremendous impact on my dance career because I trained with him for five years through a formative time,” says Johansson. He had returned to Canada from New Zealand, where he’d moved with his mother after his parents split, to live with his father who worked for the Surrey parks department. The home environment was testosteronedriven, with plenty of chainsaws and pickup trucks. His high school, Tamanawis in Surrey, had lots of violence and tension. But he’d cross the bridge to New West to a totally different world where he would strap on tights and jump around with a bunch of girls in leotards. “Even at the time I was able to

step back and look at the balance I had in my life,” says Johansson. After high school he studied at the New Zealand School of Dance. One year during the New Zealand dance festival, Johansson was assigned to be a gopher for a Brazilian company specializing in Capoeira, a martial arts-influenced style with lots of percussion. “I was just totally humbled watching these little Brazilian guys whirling around the stage.

I’d never seen such strength and flexibility,” says Johansson. “It’s an amazing form, and it translates very well to contemporary dance.” He went to Brazil four times to learn about it, and has incorporated it into his choreography and taken it all over the world. After New Zealand, he was based in Germany for four years, but he and his wife, dancer Shannon Moreno, decided to return to their roots to raise

a family. In amongst bringing up Mattias, 2, and three-monthold Edward, they run a dance company called Science Friction. Just like his dad at that age, Mattias is hyper. “We’ve got to run this boy hard otherwise he doesn’t nap,” says Johansson as his son bugs him during the interview. The plan is to put the boys in all sorts of activities such as music, dance and sports and let them choose what they want to do. “I was encouraged and supported with dance but never forced into it. It was always up to me. We’ll see what they’re into. Matty has good hand-eye coordination, he’s surprisingly good with a hockey stick.” Maybe in a few years he’ll be auditioning for The Nutcracker, too. • Johansson will perform a five to seven minute dance as part of Dances for a Small Stage 29. It runs Thursday through Saturday at the Ukrainian Centre on East 10th Avenue at Main Street in Vancouver. Tickets are $20 and available at small-stage.eventbrite. ca or at the door.

Waterside living in Yaletown with Pacific Point By Kerry Vital

Yaletown is one of Vancouver’s most popular and vibrant neighbourhoods, with some of the best shopping, dining and recreation in the city. Now Bosa Development is staking its claim in the area with Pacific Point, a former rental building that Nat Bosa purchased and turned into luxury condominiums. “Buyers know they are going to get quality and Nat Bosa’s

value assurance backing the project,” says Lisa Murrell, sales and marketing manager for Bosa Development. Every suite has been completely renovated, with new appliances, new decor and new plumbing. “It’s rare that Nat Bosa puts his name to something,” says George Wong of Magnum Projects. “This is one of those rare opportunities. This is the first thing that has caught his eye in a long time ... he fell in love with the location.” There are 214 condos in the building, ranging from 450

to 1,680 square feet. The kitchens feature a quartz-slab backsplash, polished quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances, complemented by undercabinet task lighting, a contemporary undermount sink and imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, which also appears in the bathrooms. Laminate wood flooring is included throughout most of the CONTINUED INSIDE

There is no shortage of things to do in Vancouver, from shopping on Robson Street, above, or Main Street, bottom right, cycling on the Stanley Park SeaWall, top right, or going for a swim in the pool at Kitsilano Beach, middle right.

Vancouver tops for living and playing By Kerry Vital

Vancouver was recently voted as one of the top three most livable cities in the world, and it’s not hard to see why. With tons of amazing restaurants, gorgeous scenery, plenty of opportunities for shopping and beautiful homes, Vancouver truly has everything you can possibly imagine. One of Vancouver’s most well-known landmarks is Stanley Park, the 400-hectare park that recently celebrated its 125th birthday and has been designated a national historic site. With it’s nearly nine kilometres

of SeaWall, several beaches and acres upon acres of green space, Stanley Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. It also holds several dining spots, the Vancouver Aquarium, Malkin Bowl, a pitch-and-putt golf course, a pool and a water spray park, among other attractions. If indoor pursuits are more your forte, you’ll find plenty to love in Vancouver with its array of arts and cultural opportunities. From the Queen Elizabeth Theatre to the Vancouver Art Gallery to the University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology, you’ll find plenty of options for whatever you’re in the mood for. Sports fans aren’t left out either with the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena or the B.C. Lions or Vancouver Whitecaps at B.C. Place. Perhaps some fine dining is on the menu; a wish that Vancouver has no problem fulfilling. Picking a great restaurant can be as easy as choosing a neighbourhood and taking a walk around. You may find your new favourite dining spot completely by accident.

Speaking of neighbourhoods, each one has its own style. Kitsilano, with its trendy shops, dining and the famous Kits Beach, is a haven for healthy living. Among the homes here is Kits360, a condominium development that gives residents access to every amenity that Kits has to offer along with gorgeous homes. If sophisticated living is what you crave, you’ll find the perfect home at Bosa Development’s Pacific Point in Yaletown. Pacific Point has gorgeous views of False Creek and downtown Vancouver, making it a spectacular place to live if you want to take advantage of the vibrant lifestyle in the neighbourhood. When you need a bit of retail therapy, you’ll find plenty of places to exercise your credit card. From Granville Island with its eclectic mix of independent shops and the Public Market to the trendy South Granville area to Robson Street and its mix of high-end and budget shops, including the brand-new Canadian flagship Victoria’s Secret store, there are a variety of options for any taste.

We are a 4H (agility, obedience, showmanship) family and our dogs are a part of our home and life and we wish the same for our puppies. Please consider the time and commitment needed to raise a dog and you will have our support and guidance for life. Pups will have first shots and deworming. Black males are $850, females and blue merles are $950. 604-820-4827
