How to pay CUPE raises? School district still seeking savings to pay bump Wanda chow

cherie moses is among several residents on graveley street, near Brentwood mall, who are petitioning Burnaby city hall to conduct a planning process for transportation and parking in the area. The stretch between carleton and Willingdon avenues is constantly used as a commuter shortcut during rush hour and they say it will only get worse as major developments are built nearby.

It will be another couple weeks before Burnaby school district announces how it plans to fund negotiated raises for Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) school support workers. District secretarytreasurer Greg Frank said the raises will cost almost $1.6 million annually and will be funded by a combination of surpluses, savings and efficiencies, and specific cuts. “There are areas spread throughout the district that we’re looking at,” said Frank, who was unable to provide details just yet. As for surpluses, the plan is to allocate just under $900,000 toward the wage hikes, although he stressed it’s a one-time use of surpluses for the 20132014 year. He said budget adjustments will be required to pay for the contract over the long term, which is yet to be ratified by CUPE Local 379, which represents support workers in the Burnaby district. see ‘budget’, a4

Traffic safety advocate passes away Worked passionately to promote road safety in Burnaby Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

One of the most recognizable names in Burnaby traffic safety has died. Gord Couling, who worked for ICBC promoting road safety and loss prevention, died Tuesday evening at Burnaby Hospital surrounded by family and friends. He had fought a short battle with a “very aggressive form of cancer that was first detected in August,” said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Major John Buis on Wednesday. Couling was “great friend of the detachment,” said Buis, and was a fixture in the city for at least 10 years. “Anytime there was anything

to do with road safety in the city of Burnaby, with ICBC, he was on top of it. He moved forward programs, he was able to get funding for special projects, he was out to all the public events,” Buis said. “He was the heart and soul of a lot of our community events and community programs when it came to road safety. He was the guy.” Speedwatch volunteer Chris Hildred worked with Couling for 10 years and they grew to be friends. “The level of dedication and passion I’ve never seen anybody else in my life that comes close to the kind of energy he put into his job,” said Hildred. Couling lived in Coquitlam but his enthusiasm was evident whether he was working in Burnaby or the Tri-Cities. Hildred

Gord Couling was a driving force in Burnaby traffic safety. ‘I’ve never seen anybody else in my life that comes close to the kind of energy he put into his job,” said speedwatch volunteer Chris Hildred.

recalled Couling coming out to countless evening Speedwatch events, whether he needed to be there or not.

“He started off as a driver examiner so he was well-versed with things that people do on the roads, so safety was probably his

first to number one concern,” he said. “He was painfully aware of distracted people who walk on the street with their iPods plugged into their ears ignoring the world around them, including vehicles, whose drivers are also texting at the same time. Just a recipe for disaster,” Hildred said. “He was keenly aware of that and tried everything he could to get the message out as often as possible and in as many ways as possible.” Members of the Burnaby Citizens Crimewatch program, whose volunteer members scour the city looking for stolen vehicles, issued a statement that said Couling was “a tremendous help and inspiration to many people in the crimewatch program over many years. We in the program extend out deepest sympathy to the Couling family.”

Development ‘sexy’ but traffic control isn’t ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

“Development is sexy but traffic control isn’t,” Moses said. “They’re obviously planning for more traffic but they’re not taking into consideration what’s happening right now. It can only increase.” Gerry Rosen, 71, who lives near the Carleton end, said the traffic is ratrunning through the neighbourhood to avoid congestion at Lougheed Highway and Willingdon. Instead, commuters go from Gilmore to Douglas Road, Carleton and Graveley, cross Willingdon and make their way through one of the streets north of the mall, such as Brentlawn Drive, over to Delta Avenue and onto Lougheed. Speed humps on Graveley are

flatter than they’d like, leading to vehicles cruising over them instead of being forced to slow down. Several residents have had parked vehicles damaged in hitand-runs, mostly taking off side mirrors, while Rosen himself had $900 worth of damage caused to his car in August. “You try and back out of your driveway during rush hour, sometimes you’re taking your life in your hands,” he said. He’s lived on the street for 18 years and believes the traffic has gotten progressively worse. He’s seen close calls and incidents of road rage, and worries about the kids in the neighbourhood. In fact, the pedestrian crossing on Willingdon and Graveley came

about after a mother was struck and killed by a pickup truck while crossing the street while pushing her toddler daughter in a stroller. Traffic counts on that stretch of Graveley done during the summer found 1,200 to 1,400 vehicles a day were using the street, said Doug Louie, the assistant director of engineering in charge of traffic and parking management. While he said “that’s not unexpected,” he acknowledged that it’s a little higher than a typical residential street of singlefamily homes which generally sees about 1,000 cars a day on the high end. Louie said the engineering department will look into residents’ concerns, including the possibility the speed humps are

flatter than they should be, noting they’re designed for speeds of up to 40 km/h. City hall knows that Lougheed and Willingdon is very busy and may result in impacts on surrounding streets, he said. “We are looking at making changes to the surrounding street network.” For instance, they’re considering extending Dawson Street east of Beta Avenue to improve traffic flows. A realignment of 1st Avenue—the development at Gilmore, if approved, would involve Douglas Road being broken up by an expansion of Willingdon Heights park—could also change traffic patterns, and staff are looking at the potential impacts, he said. Dhaliwal said after witnessing the issues first-hand that “they

have legitimate concerns,” and said they are “a little bit more serious than some but not as serious as others.” Traffic issues are a problem throughout Burnaby, he stressed. But city staff have been directed to look at Graveley in light of the proposed development at 1st and Gilmore, and see if restricting left-turns at Douglas could help reduce ratrunning. Dhaliwal said he’s also asked staff to look at the effectiveness of the speed humps, potentially adjusting the pedestrian signal at Willingdon so drivers on Graveley can’t use the timer in their efforts to beat the signal. And he’ll be asking Burnaby RCMP to do some spot enforcement on the street.

The hour long treatment felt warm, healing and utterly non-invasive. The last phase of treatment was to break down old scar tissue…the whole issue disappeared within a day or two. — Yaana D., 69, Burnaby

Port Mann Bridge users who haven’t paid their tolls will soon be unable to renew their car insurance or driver’s licence. The Transportation Investment Corp. that oversees the bridge has sent out warning letters to 20,000 vehicle owners whose TReO tolling accounts

are more than 90 days overdue and owe at least $25. If they don’t pay in full by Oct. 16, ICBC will refuse renewals. Spokesman Greg Johnson said the total arrears for unpaid tolls on the Port Mann is now $1.5 million. “That’s a fairly small percentage,” he said, but was unable to say how much nonpayment was anticipated. “The vast majority of drivers do pay their tolls.”

The Port Mann took in $15 million in net revenue in its first four months of operations. Johnson said that was in line with projections and would have been higher had several hundred thousand free trips not been handed out as early sign-up incentives. More than 600,000 users are registered with the TReO electronic tolling system and more than 1.7 million different vehicles have used the bridge since it opened.

‘Budget challenges’ ahead: Frank ⫸

continued from froNt Page

“We’ve been able to finish the last number of years with modest surpluses at the end of the year,” said Frank. But the provincial government has instructed that surpluses can only be used towards the 2013-2014 year, simply because future surpluses can’t be predicted. “My understanding is they want to ensure the savings plans are sustainable for future years.” The $900,000 is about half of the district’s accumulated surpluses from the end of last school year and the other half

will be used as part of next year’s budgeting process, he said. “Our three-year budget which we did last year was projecting a shortfall for [2014-2015] of about $6 million and we have not yet updated those figures but we know we have budget challenges ahead of us.” The district’s enrolment numbers do provide a glimmer of good news. While the number of secondary students in the district is declining due to cyclical changes in the population’s demographics, the

number of elementary students is slightly above the district’s projections. “It does generate additional revenue but then we’re also required to make sure we have the right supports in place for those additional students, so they come with their own series of costs as well,” Frank said. “But we’d much rather be in a situation where our enrolment is slightly over budget instead of under.” CUPE 379 members are holding their ratification vote on Nov. 9. twitter.com/WandaChow

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Amanda Todd’s lesson Is the world a safer place for kids since Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd killed herself on Oct. 10, 2012 after posting that heart-wrenching video seen around the world? No, but we have learned a few things since. We’ve learned, for example, that the Internet can be a rough, cruel world for kids unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their privacy — and we know that the Internet is a powerful tool for ruining someone’s reputation. We’ve seen that vulnerable girls and boys are easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating consequences. We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply engrained in our society that Canadian university students didn’t see anything wrong with frosh week chants about sex with underage girls until authorities found out and put a stop to it. Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web. But there has been some action, too. B.C.’s ERASE Bullying website, available during the school year, provides resources for families with bullying concerns, and administrators and school counsellors are being trained to identify and support at-risk youth. The Kids Help Phone got more publicity about its services for kids. Even workplace bullying has received a higher profile in the year since Todd’s death, with a new Workplace BC website addressing the issue, and the BC Coroner’s Service studied youth suicide this fall and recommended more collaboration and resources. Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occurring? Maybe not, but we can no longer have ignorance as an excuse. —Tri City News/Black Press

The art of being alone, but not lonely An anti-cellphone rant made by Louis CK on the Conan O’Brien show has been making the rounds online. The comedian calls smartphones “toxic,” arguing they prevent children from developing empathy, make it easier to bully, and keep them from learning how to be alone. While my daughter Elise is only two and not yet near the age we need to debate when (and whether) she should get her own phone, I can empathize with the pressure parents of older children face when it comes to providing them with the latest technology. Even at Elise’s tender age, my husband and I have already talked about whether we should buy a tablet computer. A few parents I know let their toddlers play on their iPads and smartphones, and it’s amazing how quickly they figure out how to open their favourite apps and scroll through videos. The majority of parents I talk to are well aware that we shouldn’t let our children watch too much television (or, arguably, any TV at all before the age of two according to the American Academy of Pediatrics). But

Kristine Salzmann many of us have this nagging feeling that our kids might be left behind if we keep the more interactive and “useful” technologies out of their hands. Last year, a former neighbour told me how his five-year-old daughter could turn on the computer, enter the password, open her favourite website to access kid-friendly games, and print off the colouring pages she received as prizes upon completing the games, all by herself. Other parents I know turn to the iPad or smartphone as their salvation when they need some quiet time or to distract their child from having a meltdown. Most do impose time limits. And at least their children are learning something, often noting they only download educational apps. I can easily picture myself taking that route as well. It would be so easy. And yet,

I’m wary. In an April New York Times column titled “The Child, the Tablet and the Developing Mind,” a professor of science, technology and society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is quoted as being concerned kids will miss out in learning about solitude if they’re consistently pacified by a device. Says the professor, Sherry Turkle, “They need to be able to explore their imagination. To be able to gather themselves and know who they are. So someday they can form a relationship with another person without a panic of being alone. If you don’t teach your children to be alone, they’ll only know how to be lonely.” The Times columnist also quotes Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center at the University of California, as saying if people spend too much time with one technology and less time interacting with people, it could hinder the development of certain communication skills. The tablet conversation with my husband was prompted by a long car ride to B.C.’s Interior. Such a device could provide a welcome distraction for Elise.

In the end, we decided we didn’t want to go there. We already regulate TV time, and we didn’t want another device we’d have to say “no” to. Plus, I share Turkle and Louis CK’s worry that my daughter’s generation won’t learn how to be alone and “do nothing”—it disturbs me to see so many people who can’t seem to sit in a waiting room or a vehicle without fiddling with their phones. While I do sometimes worry about her “keeping up” with her friends, my husband does not. Using technology that started out foreign to older generations will come naturally to our kids, he argues. And so, we agree we’ll wait. And our road trip? Elise was a surprisingly well-behaved and pleasant traveller. She sang songs, took care of her baby doll and took a nap, albeit brief. If we had shoved a smartphone in her hands, I wouldn’t have known a toddler with six-word sentences could chat with us for hours. Kristine Salzmann is a former Black Press reporter.

COMMENT

Feeding into the hype Re: Burnaby right to keep pit bulls muzzled (Editorial, NewsLeader, Oct. 9) I was disappointed to see the further promotion of unsubstantiated myths about pit bulls in the recent editorial by an anonymous staff writer. The opinion expressed here merely echoes comments made by Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal during the council meeting Sept. 30. What scientific evidence does this writer have about “the size and strength of the pit bull jaw”? I note that in a peerreviewed article on this subject—Lindner et al., Measurement of bite force in dogs: a pilot study, the Journal of Veterinary Dentistry (1995)—that pit bulls bites are weaker in strength than both German shepherds and Rottweilers. By the author’s own reasoning, shouldn’t German shepherds and Rottweilers be first in line for muzzling? It’s time the media took responsibility for perpetuating the myths, hysteria and hype around pit bulls. I suggest you start by getting your facts straight before you publish. Mary Catherine Kropinski Burnaby

NEED A VEHICLE?

AshAmed of my country It’s official, there is no denying it now, climate change “unequivocally” is man made. The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which came into being in 1988, just published a summary of its latest findings compiled by hundreds of scientists worldwide who are considered the authoritative assessment of global climate risks. The report warns that limiting climate change will require “substantial and sustained” reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. Further, the report states that pollution from burning fossil fuels is changing earth’s climate and contributing to rising seas, stronger storms, hotter days and severe droughts. Do we really need any further reason to stop the Surrey Fraser Docks’ coal port planning to bring filthy low-grade coal from the U.S. and ship it to China? Fraser Surrey Docks CEO Jeff Scott says building this port will get us ahead of the U.S. building theirs, which is currently meeting stiff

opposition and may never be built. He suggests we could later switch to shipping canola. I say we should start with canola and forget polluting our atmosphere now. After all, which part of “substantial and sustained” is hard to understand? In June the BBC and Reuters reported that China had just mandated, not talked about nor suggested, but mandated a 30 per cent reduction in heavy industry pollution, so why are we still trying to feed their filthy habit? Why are we lagging behind their thinking and will they still want to buy coal from us in the future given that they already recognize the direct link between pollution and climate change? The answer is simple and relates to Mr. Scott’s bosses, the federal government. In a New York Times article this month, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s attitude towards suppressing climate change was compared to that of George Bush. In Toronto, P.J. Partington, Pembina Institute’s climate change policy analyst, said the IPCC report

has laid out a stark choice: “If we continue on the current trajectory, it’s a oneway ticket to a much warmer world.” There is another scenario, “one where we can reduce pollution ... but Ottawa is doing totally the opposite,” said Partington. “We are completely out of step with the world on climate change. If we want to avoid risks, we will need government action.” In an interview last week in New York, Harper said Canada will not take no for an answer on the (Keystone XL) pipeline, which will take Alberta tar sands oil to the Texas gulf coast. Climate scientists have stated that it will be “game over” should that pipeline ever get built. Again, which part of “substantial and sustained” does China understand but not our politicians? When I hear these things, I am ashamed for Canada’s world reputation. Gavin Wishart New Westminster

Adding another year of fire statistics, from June 2012 to June 2013, shows a continued decline in electrical fires, including those related to illegal electrical bypasses and hot grow lamps found to be connected with illegal marijuana growing. Garis noted that the data show electrical fires of all sorts account for only a small part of all structure fires in B.C. Out of 1,801 total residential fires in the latest year available, 150 were found to be caused by electrical discharge. That’s a 12.3 per cent decline since 2011, when the smart

That was in 2011, before smart meter installation began. There have been no fires attributed to the meter program, with 1.8 million wireless meters installed. Garis said the results clearly show that people should not worry about their electrical meters, and pay attention to by far the largest sources of house fires: cooking and smoking.

Metro planners question case for Massey bridge Effect of tolls on traffic one of many gaps, report says Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver staff are warning the province’s plan to replace the Massey Tunnel with a large new bridge could run counter to regional land-use goals. A report brought to Metro’s transportation committee Wednesday from senior regional planner Ray Kan cautions that a big new bridge may “unleash pent-up demand” and spur more people to drive on the Highway 99 corridor, or prompt transit riders and car pool users to instead drive alone. “Unfettered access could easily result in a congested facility,” his report said. “Further, an expanded facility may simply move the ‘bottleneck’ further downstream or upstream.” The report says more information is needed and much of the potential impact on regional growth may depend on whether the new bridge is tolled or not. Provincial officials have so far avoided talk of tolls on the promised bridge, and have said they don’t expect to estimate the effect of tolls on projected traffic flows until next spring. There is no detailed business case yet out for the project and the number of bridge lanes isn’t finalized. The head of the province’s Gateway program last month said traffic patterns have changed since Victoria last considered and rejected a replacement of the tunnel. The Metro report says the premier’s Sept. 20 announcement of a new bridge was “unexpected” due to the absence of more technical analysis and since “only limited information” has been provided by the province on the proposal. “It is unclear what basic demographic assumptions the ministry has been using to justify the proposed capacity on the bridge,” Kan’s report said, adding it’s also unclear what assumptions are built in on the potential expansion of port terminals at Roberts Bank and Fraser Surrey Docks. The bridge announcement throws a wrench into a number of planning initiatives. Metro’s regional growth strategy didn’t anticipate a possible shift in growth pressure that might come from replacing the tunnel with a much larger bridge, he said. Kan also said the uncertainty around the new bridge casts doubt on the validity of technical work being carried out by TransLink for its new regional transportation strategy, a regional goods movement strategy that has been in the works for several months, as well as the ongoing Pattullo Bridge replacement review. A new bridge would meet modern seismic and lane width standards and provide direct access for cyclists and pedestrians, the report said, as well as bettter lane allocations for trucks and high-occupancy vehicles. But care would have to be taken to ensure it doesn’t undermine regional goals to contain growth, control air pollution and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Buses make up just one per cent of vehicles going through the tunnel, but carry 26 per cent of the people, thanks to dedicated lanes and queuejumper ramps that speed buses past traffic jams on Highway 99. Several Metro Vancouver mayors have already been critical of the bridge plan, voicing concerns that the cost of up to $3 billion could push back their top priority – transit improvements. Some suggest the bridge also be subjected to a referendum, if the province insists on one to approve funding sources for transit expansion.

Metro Vancouver was caught off guard by Premier Christy Clark’s announcement that the Massey Tunnel would be replaced with a bridge—shown in this artist’s rendering.

Minister for Natural Gas Development Rich Coleman leaves Friday for South Korea, China and Malaysia to meet with multinational energy companies that are still a year away from final decisions on billions of investment in gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas plants on the North Coast. Speaking to reporters from Vancouver Monday, Coleman said Sunday’s announcement by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Rezak of a $36 billion investment by government-owned Petronas in B.C. LNG is an important step. Meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Kuala Lumpur, Rezak called the investment a “significant landmark decision,” after Petronas spent $5

billion last year to buy Alberta-based gas producer Progress Energy Inc. “Their prime minister made this announcement with our prime minister, and Petronas is owned by the government of Malaysia, so that means the boss is pretty keen on British Columbia,” Coleman said. He defended the record of B.C.’s 50-year-old gas drilling industry, which was targeted along with oil proposals by about 200 chanting protesters. The group calls itself PowerShift, an extension of earlier Idle No More and Occupy protests targeting corporations, oil and gas development and greenhouse gas emissions. “We have never had a well stem fail in British Columbia at

any time since we’ve been doing natural gas drilling in B.C., ever,” Coleman said. “We have never affected the water table.” Inside the legislature, NDP leader Adrian Dix drew attention to the empty chamber, on the day a fall session would have begun. Dix said the B.C. Liberal government has abandoned its aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets in the rush to develop and export vast shale gas reserves, and has avoided debate on the issue by keeping the legislature shut down until February. The NDP has also targeted the government’s budget cuts for skill training, at a time when the government says thousands of jobs will be created by expanding the gas industry.

Port Mann toll changes eyed for trucks Monthly pass, other breaks urged to shift big rigs off Pattullo Jeff Nagel Black Press

The provincial government is considering changes to how much it charges trucks to cross the tolled Port Mann Bridge. Most regular drivers face a doubling in the tolls they pay from $1.50 to $3 a crossing come December, when yearlong half price discounts expire that were offered to encourage early sign-ups. That increase is “locked in” and won’t be reconsidered, says Max Logan, director of the province’s Transportation Investment Corp. that oversees the Port Mann. But he said other ideas to assist trucks are being contemplated. The main one is a call from truckers for a monthly pass

option for heavy trucks, similar to the monthly passes offered to other vehicle types that give unlimited bridge use for the price of 50 regular trips. He said his staff are assessing how such a pass would be priced to ensure it doesn’t undermine the bridge’s repayment timeline. “If you are giving away a certain number of trips for free over and above whatever the monthly pass is set at that’s money that’s not being collected and not going to pay for the bridge,” Logan cautioned. “No decisions have been made.” Some changes to truck classifications have also been urged to put some trucks into cheaper toll brackets. Also being studied, Logan said, are implications of timeof-day pricing ideas to reduce vehicle tolls at off-peak times, but added that’s more likely to be pursued over the long term.

New Westminster councillors on Monday called for lower Port Mann tolls for trucks to attract more of them back from the congested Pattullo Bridge, which is the nearest untolled crossing. They argue truck traffic through New West has surged since tolls were slapped on the Highway 1 crossing late last year and a lower toll than the $9 now charged for heavy trucks at the Port Mann would help. “That’s a pretty hefty price to have a crossing, I can certainly see why truck traffic is using the Pattullo Bridge,” New West Coun. Jonathan Coté said. He also said tolling the Pattullo could be another solution, or else banning trucks from the bridge altogether – although the province and TransLink have always ruled out a truck ban as contrary to goods movement needs.

VICTORIA – One of Christy Clark’s first crises as premier was a 2011 revolt by parents and caregivers over moneysaving changes to the B.C. government agency responsible for developmentally disabled people. The CEO of Community Living B.C. was fired after reports of people being moved from group homes into contracted home-sharing arrangements without consent. Waiting lists swelled as 65 group homes were closed, with disabled people living longer than ever before. A government MLA, Randy Hawes, joined opposition critics calling for relief. A work program at a Maple Ridge recycling facility had its operating funds cut, a decision hastily reversed as the government found an extra $40 million for CLBC’s budget to assist 13,000 developmentally disabled clients. Clark promised a reorganization. Two years later, Comox Valley MLA Don McRae is the new Minister of Social Development and Social

Innovation. He is touring the province during October, looking for ways to deliver that innovation, with an emphasis on finding jobs and homes for as many developmentally disabled people as possible. Money is still a big pressure, with the government beginning a “core review” to squeeze more savings from all ministries. McRae has already faced criticism from contracted service agencies after their budgets had to absorb a three per cent wage hike for unionized employees. McRae said in an interview last week he has yet to meet a service agency that has been unable to work through the new budget with help from CLBC. And the agency continues to pursue home-sharing arrangements where practical. “Society is evolving, and I’ve had the opportunity to visit individuals who want to live in an inclusive environment, in a neighbourhood,” McRae said, adding there’s “no push” to move people away from group homes. McRae is reaching out to employer groups, to build on successful work placements in grocery stores and other

workplaces. “For a person with a disability or not, having a job, and it could be full time or part time, allows you to have a role in society that gives something back, and increases your selfworth,” he said. “I think there’s huge value in that.” McRae recalls segregated classes from his own childhood. As a high school teacher up until his election in 2009, he worked with integrated classrooms. Work and retirement are the next phases. That step begins with new oversight. Effective in October, Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen TurpelLafond’s mandate is extended to people moving from youth services to CLBC responsibility, continuing until age 24. In a pilot project, the ministry has hired four “navigators” to guide developmentally disabled people leaving school, to make sure they don’t fall through the cracks and have the welfare and health support they need. Another pilot begins in Burnaby next year, with a navigator assigned to help developmentally disabled people adjust to their senior years.

Resource rush ‘leaves treaties behind’ Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. Treaty Commission issued its 21st annual report Tuesday, with a plea for federal and provincial governments not to abandon province-wide progress in a rush for resource development in the north. While noting progress on several new treaties, chief commissioner Sophie Pierre said she is frustrated that the federal government has dragged its feet with studies, while the B.C. government has shifted focus to interim resource agreements as it pushes mining and gas development development in the north. Pierre warned that the rest of the province is being ignored, while First Nations have piled up debt for treaty talks that show little progress. “There’s no need for more studies,” Pierre said. “Let’s just get it done.” Asked if the independent treaty commission has outlived its usefulness, commissioner Dave

Haggard was more blunt. Abandoning treaties means going back to court, and the Supreme Court of Canada has made it clear that Canada and B.C. must negotiate settlements for aboriginal rights and title, he said. He said he is dismayed by the rush for oil and gas development across the north. “Go through Terrace and Prince Rupert and Smithers and see what the oil companies are doing up there today,” Haggard said. “It’s almost laughable when you see what they’re trying to do, the first one through the door so they can buy off another Indian. “That’s not how it’s going to happen with First Nations in that part of the world. They’re going to sit down at the table and have a fair and just set of negotiations for occupying and use of the land and the resources that are there.” Pierre said she supports resource sharing agreements for mines and forests, but they still leave communities under the

Also making progress on final agreements for land and cash are the Namgis Nation on northern Vancouver Island, Nazko First Nation near Quesnel, Northern Shuswap Tribal Council around Williams Lake, Te’Mexw Treaty Association on southern Vancouver Island and the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations near Tofino.

Redefining North Burnaby at Appia’s SOLO District By Kerry Vital

Appia Development has deep roots in North Burnaby, and this continues with SOLO District, which will soon become an iconic part of the skyline.

community feel. “People are embracing the community concept,” says Lisa Murrell, sales and marketing manager for Appia. “Everything about SOLO District is about quality, from the retailers to the suites themselves.” The latest phase at SOLO District is Altus, which will become the tallest building in Burnaby at the equivalent of 55 storeys, with office space on the first 14 floors and homes from 200 feet up so every homeowner can enjoy amazing views. The homes range from approximately 534 to 1,709 square feet in a variety of one-, twoand three-bedroom floorplans. The threebedroom homes are a new plan that Appia is proud to be able to offer buyers at Altus. Inside, you’ll find luxurious finishes such as nine-foot ceilings, laminate wood flooring in

the living areas and the choice of two designer colour schemes, Grigio and Noce. The kitchens feature imported Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry, polished quartz countertops and a quartz slab backsplash, complemented by stainless-steel appliances and under-cabinet task lighting. The relaxing bathrooms hold their own Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry and quartz countertops, as well as a luxurious soaker tub and large porcelain floor tiles and wall tile for the tub surround and shower wall. Select ensuites feature an enclosed glass shower. One of the most exciting parts of Altus is Club 55 on its top floor, with a barbecue area, full kitchen, media area and billiards, poker and ping-pong tables and a large outdoor deck space. The office tower will hold a fully equipped gym, and a multi-sport court on the

third floor, while the 15th floor will include a roof terrace with outdoor seating, a barbecue area and a wet bar. SOLO District itself is one of the most exciting properties in the Lower Mainland real estate market. It will eventually be comprised of four residential towers and over 1,400 homes. Construction is currently ongoing for the first and second phases, Stratus and Altus, with future phases Cirrus and Aerius to follow. The community will also include Burnaby’s first Whole Foods, commercial opportunities, office space and tons of green space. SOLO District is perfectly situated for transit, shopping, education and leisure activities. The Brentwood Skytrain station is just steps away, along with Brentwood Town Centre. Golf courses, parks and fitness facilities are also nearby. “People will be hard-pressed to find a more complete community of this calibre,” says Murrell. SOLO District and Appia is currently offering a fantastic promotion they are calling The Perfect Home Ownership Plan. The next 75 qualified buyers will get savings of up to 60 per cent on mortgage payments for a limited time, discounts on transit passes for those who commute farther than three kilometres on a regular basis and no payments for up to 180 days after the purchase of one of the select homes at SOLO District. This promotion is being offered to buyers who are Burnaby residents, plan to live or have a family member live at SOLO District or will be attending a post-secondary institution in Burnaby such as Simon Fraser University or the British Columbia Institute of Technology. Homes at SOLO District start at $293,900.
