Homophobia battle

Longtime Crescent Moon Coffee House participants Harriet Quint (bass), Dennis Peterson (guitar and vocals) and Randy Schultz (lead guitar) entertain at the coffee house’s regular venue, Kwomais Point Park, during last Saturday’s South Surrey Festival. They and other musicians have gathered at the coffee house every Thursday for more than 30 years.

For Anthony Hope, it’s a nobrainer: the Surrey School District needs to follow in the footsteps of other B.C. districts and develop an anti-homophobia policy. As an openly gay student, the 15-year-old has faced harassment and ridicule firsthand. But when his friend committed suicide last fall, Hope decided to take action. “The biggest thing about it is not specifically the bullying, but it’s the seclusion and the feeling that you’re worthless, you’re alone, that you’re invalidated, de-liberated – a feeling of you’re the only one in the world and that nobody cares about you,” Hope says. see page A4

Communication breakdown and illness blamed for lack of quorum at White Rock city hall

Hearings cancelled due to council no-shows Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

For the first time in recent history, two public hearings and a land-use committee meeting scheduled for Monday night at White Rock city hall were cancelled – 15 minutes past their scheduled start time – due to lack of quorum. As a result of illness and other absence, only three of seven council members – Couns. Helen Fathers, Larry Robinson and Al Campbell – made it to the 7 p.m. hearings and meeting. To proceed, at least four members had to be there. “We apologize for any sort of inconvenience we’ve caused any of you,” city clerk Tracey Arthur said, addressing the crowd of approximately three dozen who had turned out to hear and be heard.

Attendees included residents concerned about flooding issues associated with a Roper Avenue property that is the proposed site of a seven-unit strata townhouse project, and developers associated with the proposal. “This is just an unfortunate circumstance, due to illness, that council is sincerely sorry for,” Arthur said, noting new meeting dates would be announced both on the city’s website (www.whiterockcity.ca) and in newspaper advertising. Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson is in hospital; Coun. Grant Meyer was sick; and Mayor Wayne Baldwin was “in transit” from a family vacation in Osoyoos. Attempts by the city to reach Coun. Louise Hutchinson were unsuccessful Monday evening, but she later told Peace Arch News that a problem with the city’s email meant none

to be an issue. “I would have assumed we would have sufficient for quorum, but we didn’t. That’s unfortunate,” Baldwin said. While the public hearing delay isn’t problematic for the city, it is for the developer, the mayor said, “in the sense that time is money.” “We have to respect that, and we didn’t show the proper respect on that particular day, and that won’t happen again.” Robinson said Wednesday it was “a bad situation” and that he fielded complaints from some of the professionals present. The public hearings have been rescheduled for July 9. The land-use meeting will take place at 6 p.m. June 25, prior to the regular council meeting. see page A4

Mud Bay Park is a relatively new Surrey park and has become a very popular walking locale. It is also a good starting point for a bike exploration of the dykes in Delta. It is possible to ride all the way to Point Roberts on the U.S. border, and hardly cross a city street. Delta’s foreshore along Mud Bay and Boundary Bay doesn’t get the traffic that other oceanfront areas do, but it is still well worth visiting. Many Surrey and Delta residents don’t always think about the beaches that are close by. They think of Vancouver beaches – and they are definitely wonderful. But our homegrown beaches are a delight, and are much easier to get to. We all need to take full responsibility for ensuring that they are kept clean, free of pollution and accessible to all. As the whale reminds us, many things go on in the Pacific Ocean – and when the results of those activities wash up on the beaches, it is those of us who live nearby who are the most directly impacted.

news Three locations of Booster Juice robbed by knife-wielding bandit

Series of armed robberies at juice stores Dan Ferguson Staff reporter

Police are investigating the possibility that one man may be responsible for a series of recent holdups at Booster Juice stores in South Surrey and Langley this month. On June 3, the Booster Juice outlet at 15161 and Highway 10 in South Surrey was robbed at 7:30 p.m. by a man with a knife. On June 7, another South Surrey Booster Juice store, the one at 15355 24 Ave., was robbed around 2:30 p.m. And on June 11, the Langley Booster Juice outlet at 20159 88 Avenue was robbed around 5:15 p.m. In each case, the robber fled on foot with a few hundred dollars.

Rainy training

The description of the suspect in each incident is similar — a male Caucasian in his 20s, wearing a hoodie and a glove on one hand, who threatens the store staff with what appears to be a knife. Security video footage of the suspect in the Langley store holdup shows him wearing sunglasses and a baseball hat with “Police” embroidered on the front. He had keys hanging on his hips and he was wearing blues jeans and a dark, patterned hoodie. The man was in the store less than a minute. No one has been reportedly hurt in the holdups, but the incidents have “traumatized” staff, said Lisa Swift, who owns the

“The problem is that he is making his rounds, and must be driving to his robberies” Swift said. Swift released video of the Langley holdup in the hopes someone will recognize the robber (visit peacearchnews.com). “I need him off the streets,” Swift said. RCMP confirmed Tuesday that they are investigating the possibility that the same man is responsible for more than one of the juice store holdups and a number of other robberies as well, but no determination has been made yet. Anyone with information about any of the robberies is asked to contact their local RCMP detachment or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Private school students turned away after complaint to media

Hubbub over drinking waiver scuttles grad party Dan Ferguson Staff Reporter

An after-grad party for a group of students from the prestigious Southridge private school in South Surrey was cancelled by the Sportstown BC complex in Richmond over teen drinking. It was a controversy over the wording of a waiver document that said the facility would not be held responsible for “intoxication and/ or alcohol poisoning” or any injuries resulting if a drunken student fell down.

According to a Sportstown man- liquor to the teenage grads, the ager, who spoke on condition of spokesperson said Tuesday. anonymity, the post-graduation According to him, parents were event was planned from 1 a.m. to asked to sign the waiver releas6 a.m. this coming Saturday (June ing Sportstown from responsi23) in the Sportstown ❝There’s a good chance bility if a grad got meeting and party injured as a result someone is going to of consuming alcoroom that can hold up to 30 people. hol, because teens sneak in drinks.❞ The whole point of have been known to renting the room was to ensure the drink at parties, even when booze kids had a safer place to party, the is banned. manager said. “There’s a good chance someone While the rental room is fully is going to sneak in drinks,” the licenced, there was no plan to serve spokesperson said, noting it is not

After learning the party would be the subject of a story, Sportstown cancelled the event, the manager said. “It ain’t worth the hassle.” The head of Southridge school,

Drew Stephens, said the South Surrey school was not involved with the event and did not approve of it. “The school does not endorse in any way, shape or form consumption of alcohol by underage students,” Stephens said Tuesday. “I wouldn’t endorse it even if they were of age.” Stephens said the school organizes two graduation events annually, one on the school grounds and one off-site, neither of which permit any alcohol for students or their parents.

news from page A1 He surveyed 2,500 students and drafted a set of recommendations to instigate change. Tonight (Thursday), he’s joining another gay Surrey student, a parent and representatives from the Surrey Teachers’ Association and CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) to make a presentation to members of the Surrey Board of Education, asking them to establish a standalone policy that specifically targets homophobia. So far, 18 other B.C. school districts have developed and approved such policies. Most

include staff development and education, detailed complaint processes so issues are dealt with in a consistent manner and measures to improve the understanding of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, questioning) people and their positive contributions to society. The only district that faced controversy was Burnaby, where there was some public backlash prior to the board tweaking and eventually adopting its policy. Bullying based on sexual orientation is already included in Surrey’s Safe & Caring Schools policy. Further amendments to policy –

that inject anti-homophobic language into the current guidelines on discrimination – also happen to be on tonight’s agenda for trustee approval. But proponents of the standalone anti-homophobia policy say the existing guidelines are reactionary and don’t provide opportunities for prevention, education and systemic change like a comprehensive standalone policy would. Laurae McNally, chair of the board of education, said prior to the meeting she didn’t know how trustees would proceed as they hadn’t yet heard the presentation.

is all we need to do,” he said. Arthur told PAN that Monday’s situation was the first time in at least four years that a meeting has been called off so unexpectedly. Baldwin agreed it was “very rare” for White Rock, but recalled it did happen “a couple” of times during his 23-year tenure as city manager. Neighbouring Surrey has no record of a scheduled council meeting ever being cancelled under such circumstances. On Monday night Campbell said the situation was the result of “very unusual circumstances.” “This is brutal… very embarrassing, actually.”

‘This is brutal… very embarrassing’ from page A1 Baldwin noted part of the noquorum problem can be attributed to the city’s computer server being offline from about noon on Friday until Monday morning. It essentially cut the main lines of communication between staff and council, he said. Arthur and Baldwin said they received no word from Coun. Louise Hutchinson that she would not be attending Monday. Baldwin described Hutchinson as “a victim of a loss of communication.” Hutchinson, who said she wasn’t available to speak with PAN, emailed confirmation of that point late Tuesday. “You may or may not know that the city went ‘down’ in the IT department and none of us were on email since last Friday,”

news Park-and-ride problems due to lack of space: critics

Parking fix pricey for riders

EXCLUSIVE TO… INTERNATIONAL GEMS The

C A R L E X

Alex Browne Staff Reporter

TransLink is undertaking a regional review of Park-and-Ride facilities – but it’s unlikely that any expansion of lots will come without a cost to riders. That’s the word from TransLink corporate communications manager Jason Martin, responding to controversy about the planned towing of illegally-parked vehicles from the South Surrey Park-andRide, set to commence June 25. Critics of the towing measure say the problem with illegal parking is largely caused by a shortage of spaces for riders, but TransLink has said expansion of the lot is not an option at present. “Towing is definitely a last resort, but we have to address the immediate safety concerns,” Martin said. Tom Fink, Coast Mountain director of transit service design, said last week that double parked cars obstruct buses’ safe access to the lot and have been boxing-in vehicles. Martin acknowledged the South Surrey Park-and-Ride is “showing almost at capacity or over capacity.” But he said TransLink is looking at the entire Park-and-Ride picture to address inequities and pro-

South Surrey may be getting such heavy use, he said, because it is a free parking lot as opposed to pay park-and-ride facilities elsewhere in the region. At the same time, he said, TransLink realizes that heavier usage of lots can result from some areas being underserved by buses. “We’re a few months away from putting forward a study that deals with it equally across the region.” And while Martin said he “certainly understands (the South Surrey lot) offers a convenience”

to riders, he noted that costs of providing and maintaining parking spaces need to be recouped. “It runs about $3,000 per space, base capital, to provide parking, plus $2-300 per space per year to maintain it,” he said. “It comes at a cost.” That means some kind of subsidization is necessary for the lots – which could mean charging for the parking (a park-and-ride lot on King George Boulevard currenbtly charges $4 per day) or seeking partnerships with businesses to reduce costs to riders.

Man gets 4 years for killing girlfriend Sheila Reynolds Black Press

A Surrey man who killed his girlfriend and dumped her body in North Vancouver last year was sentenced this week to four years in prison. Harvey Bracken, 50, – who learned his sentenced Tuesday in Vancouver Supreme Court – pleaded guilty to manslaughter last week in the death of 40-year-

old Jennifer Ferguson. Ferguson was reported missing by her family in January 2011. Her body was discovered in early February wrapped in plastic in a park area in North Vancouver. Bracken had been living with Ferguson at the time she went missing and was arrested shortly after her body was recovered. Last week, Cpl. Adam MacIntosh of IHIT (Integrated

Homicide Investigation Team) indicated it was a case of domestic violence that ended fatally. The court court heard the pair had been on a drug binge at the time of the killing. The time Bracken has already spent in jail – 16 months – will be deducted from his sentence, meaning he’ll be in prison for another two years, eight months.

editorial

Elimination of AirCare is long overdue

irCare will die a natural death in December 2014. It is long overdue. The provincial program, which is operated by a private operator under TransLink oversight, was instituted in the dying days of the Social Credit government. The Socreds were desperate to be seen as “doing something” about air pollution from vehicles. By the time the program was running in early 1992, the Socreds had been voted out and the NDP were in power. Thus, some members of the NDP are claiming that the program came in under their government, which is technically true. However, it was not their policy initiative. AirCare has been unpopular from the beginning, but at first it did serve a purpose. When the program began, there were a lot of polluting vehicles on the road. Some had pollution control equipment disabled. Others belched oil and smoke because of engine wear. There was nothing to stop such vehicles from being driven indefinitely. AirCare either forced these vehicles off the road, or into a shop for needed repairs. But the testing was erratic at first, with vehicles failing at one test station and passing at another. The program was updated several times, with newer vehicles only requiring two-year inspections, and the newest vehicles not needing them at all. This is because vehicle emission standards are much higher than they were in the early 1990s. As a result, AirCare hasn’t really been necessary for some time. There simply aren’t enough older vehicles on the road to make the expensive and bureaucratic program necessary. And frustration is quick to mount for drivers of newer, lower-emission vehicles, as they are forced – even if only every second year – to pay for an Aircare test that is often passed with flying colours, thus rendering the program as nothing more than a cash-grab from the government. It would be more logical to give police and commercial vehicle inspectors power to take polluting vehicles off the road, or order them to be tested. Random enforcement is best, in an era when emission standards are much higher than they used to be.

yes 46% no 54% 121 responding habitat. And we breed them for personal gain. Most of us eat animals and their byproducts as a matter of course – oftentimes three-course – braying about their taste and quality. And yet, on this one occasion, we are the same people pondering the meaning of the life and death of a single being on our waterfront, and our role in its demise. It’s part of the puzzle of being human, if not always humane, I guess. We love our pets, detest vermin, graze on farm animals and worship some – but only some – deep-sea creatures, to say nothing of becoming our dog’s best friend or our horse’s most loyal companion. Why? Is it just the size of the young whale that inspires us to grieve more? Or that it’s a rare sight up here on the surface? Don’t tell me it’s the whale’s mind or actions or contributions to society. Perhaps these are factors, but no more so than salmon and bees and pigs and bats – all fine animals each in their own way, and all critical to the current ecosystem as we know it. No doubt, I will receive notes explaining exactly how this one animal is more worthy of our attention than the rest, and why this tragedy is more notable. And I will read every one.

Most agreed with task force Editor: Re: Waterfront parking ideas ‘far too extravagant,’ June 5. It is my opinion that the chosen headline on the waterfront parking article had the potential to mislead some readers. In fact, the mayor’s pay parking task force recommendations were accepted by five of six council members present. The only council member to not accept the recommendations was Coun. Mary-Wade Anderson, with the remark that “nothing has been done for 30 years… and I don’t think this is the time to do it.” (Editor’s note: The headline came from Anderson’s comment, “The report is good, but it’s far too extravagant, and it doesn’t suit…”) The task force was a productive collaboration involving Marine Drive business owners, city staff and BIA representatives. Our ultimate goal is to increase traffic to Marine Drive businesses by removing the frustrations often experienced by visitors to our city and keeping our beach-side community vibrant and alive throughout the year. The recommendations regarding the price changes to parking were calculated so that there would be no loss in revenue and no cost to be passed on to residents. Various opportunities were highlighted for the city to invest in infrastructure to solve the issue of inadequate parking facilities in the high season and to make parking more profitable for the city in the long term. We cannot afford to wait 30 more years. We need to work together now and plan a future for our beautiful city. Jack Sixsmith, BIA president

The kindness of strangers Editor: Last week, just as I got into my car parked at Home Depot, the vehicle facing me backed out, so I decided to drive forward and be on my way. Whoops. I had completely forgotten the relatively low cement curb facing my car’s front wheels. I drove my car up over the curb so that my left front tire was stuck in between it and its twin for the vehicle that had been facing me. The low nose of my car was sitting firmly on the further cement curb. I cannot believe how many helpful, friendly people came over. Various suggestions were made from everyone – from the customers, to customer-support inside, to the teenaged loading boys. One couple even came over to tell me the husband had done exactly the same thing. One warm hug from this total stranger made be feel better. I called my husband and he came prepared with cement blocks, etc. However, one gentleman in particular was especially helpful. Not only did he offer suggestions,

he went out of his way to find boards to facilitate the plan. He then “spotted” the car for my husband while he backed out. The mission went perfectly. As the helpful stranger walked away, I called out to ask him what his name is, other than “the Good Samaritan”. He is Bob – Bob Schlase, deputy fire chief of the White Rock Fire Department. I’d like to extend my deepest thanks to Bob and to all the others who were so helpful and kind. What goes around comes around, so I hope many good things come to you all. D. Curry, Surrey Q Long story short, I injured myself at home and drove to Peace Arch Hospital emergency at 6 a.m. The administration people were very efficient and professional. The triage nurse oozed confidence,

X-ray tech was very efficient, doctor had great bedside manner, and I was in and out in half an hour, cast on, resting comfortably. Thanks to all at the Peace Arch. You’re fab! Phil Halley, Surrey

Cherry-picking their bylaws Editor: As my wife and I sat on a bench at the White Rock pier Friday night, it was very clear within minutes that neither the no-dog-walking or no-smoking bylaws are enforced. Group after group of people were smoking while walking up and down the pier for the half hour we were there, with nary a sight of a

bylaw officer. A couple walking with their two pit bulls proudly walked down the stairs by the clock tower and proceeded towards the white rock. As soon as one of the dogs reached the grass, it defecated. What made this even worse was that they pretended to pick up after their dog. There is never any enforcement on White Rock or Crescent Beach. It is far easier for bylaw officers to ticket car owners who are not present if their parking spot has expired than to deal directly with people. As summer comes, smoking will increase on our beach fronts, ruining the whole idea of getting fresh air, and dogs will continue to spoil the grass areas due to negligent owners. Unless fines are given out regularly and the message sent, all the above will continue as it does every day. J. Shaffer, Surrey

A protest outside MP Russ Hiebert’s office preceded Monday’s vote by MPs, 157-135, to send Bill-C-38 to the Senate.

Criticism over the Conservatives Editor: As part of the leadnow.ca national day of action at Conservative MPs’ offices nation-wide, more than 50 people rallied outside of Russ Hiebert’s constituency office in South Surrey on Wednesday, June 13. Concerned constituents from across the political spectrum and all walks of life were there to call on Hiebert to be one of 13 Conservative MP heroes needed to stop or split the federal omnibus Bill C-38. Those people who spoke at the event said they were particularly opposed to C-38 because of the following: • Environmental-protection laws, that took decades to build, are being dismantled. • It empowers the federal cabinet minister to override decisions regardless of environmental impact, paving the way for pipelines and other energy projects. • The Fisheries Act is being gutted to eliminate habitat protection. • It scraps the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act. Others were particularly opposed to: • Changes made to employment insurance benefits. • Increases in the age of eligibility for old age security. • Axes Ottawa’s spy watch. Finally, the last word was given to Art Kube, president of the 80,000 member Council of Senior Citizens’ Organizations of B.C, who said: “Not only is this bill draconian in its content, negatively effecting over 160 different pieces of legislation, but it is also undemocratic, the way it is being pushed through the House of Commons. That’s not what we seniors voted for.” H. Sarkisian, White Rock Q An open letter to MP Russ Hiebert. The following are words I have come across far too often lately to describe your boss, Stephen Harper. • Pejorative – having a disparaging effect; as in name

calling of opponents. • Obfuscation: to confuse, bewilder, stupefy; as in mellifluous false assurances. • Exculpatory: (considered) free from blame; as in the refusal to provide basic information on spending. • Arcane: secret; as in agenda. • Intransigent: uncompromising, inflexible; as in abusing its powers as grotesquely as in the passing of Bill C-38. • Ideology: impractical theorizing; as in the assault on unions, deregulation of the private sector, privatization of public services and cuts to social programs. • Abrogator; abolish or nullify: as in medicare and the social safety net, the environment, research and science, the National Welfare Council, First Nations council. • Acquiescence: submission implying consent; as in the Harper centralized communication apparatus. • Emasculate: to deprive of strength or vigor; as in the weakening of the Fisheries and Oceans Act. • Egregious: the worst scenario in any situation; as in proving to be a Harper majority government. Fran Manary, White Rock Q What’s wrong with this picture? While the Harper government is closing life-saving Coast Guard Rescue stations, shutting down the Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, raising the age for OAS to 67, cancelling funding for a number of charitable organizations for what they say is a lack of funds, they are spending over $28 Million on the reinactment of the war of 1812. THE WAR OF 1812. Who cares?? I would suggest that a large percentage of the Canadian population does not know anything about the war of 1812. This $28 Million would keep the Kits Coast Guard Station open for 28 years or make life a whole lot better for our aboriginal and senior communities. Terry Garvey, Surrey

Hiebert to tackle trafficking in Asia South Surrey-White Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert will travel to Southeast Asia later this month to study the international problem of human trafficking. The trip, sponsored by World Vision, a Canadian charity that addresses human trafficking and refugee issues in South East Asia, will be at no cost to taxpayers, Hiebert notes,

although it does mean he will miss Canada Day activities in his home riding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe people understand the seriousness of the issues Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be examining overseas and why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made this trip a priority,â&#x20AC;? he said in a news release, adding it dovetails with his parliamentary work as a member of the House of Commons Subcommittee on

International Human Rights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cracking down on the immoral trade in vulnerable people... is a priority for our government and I am travelling to one of the more notorious centres of the trade to see what Canada can do about this problem internationally,â&#x20AC;?

Painter and printmaker Don Li-Leger creates video for Sources

Balancing Act for local food bank Alex Browne Arts Reporter

A new turn in artistic expression for well-known painter and printmaker Don Li-Leger is also a boon to Sources’ White Rock/South Surrey Food Bank. Balancing Act, a 15-minute video created by Li-Leger, is a low-key, poetic, yet inevitably provocative piece in which stereotypical attitudes about food banks and their users are contrasted with the realities of Sources’ food bank, those who staff it and those who depend on it. Not intended as a gritty, hardhitting polemic, Balancing Act nonetheless suggests important questions by Don Li-Leger gently probing artist the social conscience of the community, while depicting clients and volunteers alike with simple dignity. Without sensationalism, Li-Leger’s well-crafted and thoughtful video creates a convincing argument for the existence of food banks in general, and Sources’ food bank in particular, as a first, crucial step, not only in providing food, but in helping people get lives back on track. “It’s a very good thing for us,” said Sources’ executive director David Young, who is one of those Li-Leger interviewed on-screen for the project. “We shall be using it in our presentations to service clubs and to schools.” Some 75 people packed the meeting room/exhibit space at White Rock Community Centre for the video’s premiere screening June 7, which was attended by White Rock Mayor

Contributed photo

Don Li-Leger’s Balancing Act will be screened for White Rock council in July as per Mayor Wayne Baldwin. Wayne Baldwin and Coun. Helen Fathers, and also featured a postscreening panel with Li-Leger, Young and Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Jagrup Brar. The video will also be screened for all of White Rock council in July, at the request of Baldwin, Young said. Just prior to the screening, Li-Leger took time to discuss his new artistic role and how the

video came about. “I see it really as an extension of my print-making and painting,” he said. Originally noted for the environmental compassion of his highly-detailed nature paintings, Li-Leger has spent the last two decades exploring a poetic fusion of abstract elements with recognizable elements of geometry, calligraphy, botany and

collage, in itself an outgrowth of his passionate interest in creating monoprints. “I really like contemporary art videos,” said Li-Leger, who added that he started experimenting with video equipment as a means of expression four years ago. Balancing Act is his first completed video, he said, but others are in the works. “It’s like painting,” he said of his

approach to shooting and editing his footage. “I don’t want to treat it in a formal way. I like to experiment and put things together from experiences that happen along the way – that’s what I find exciting.” Balancing Act grew out of discussions with now-retired food bank manager Ruth Chitty, he said. “I had painted all the windows for the food bank for Ruth and when I started talking about making a video, she gave me unparalleled access to clients and volunteers, the suppliers, donors and relatives.” What he captured with his camera – including a haunting tune performed impromptu for volunteers on a handcrafted whistle by a longtime client – helped determine the form and feel of the piece, Li-Leger said. “I really got involved in the whole sense of community; how committed it is and how compassionate it is.” At the same time, Li-Leger said, he felt it was important to include negative views of food banks that are also prevalent in the world – including the Semiahmoo Peninsula. “The Salvation Army recently conducted a study in which it found that around 47 per cent – almost 50 per cent – of people surveyed felt that those in poverty should pull themselves up by the bootstraps,” he said. “People in this video voiced this feeling, and it clearly represents their viewpoint because they gave me full permission to include their comments,” he said. “Personally, I find that 47 per cent astoundingly high. But the purpose of the video is not to teach people to be more compassionate. I want people to know what the issues are about those in need.” To view a streaming version of Balancing Act, visit www. sourcesbc.ca

Pause for paws Registration is now open for the BC SPCA’s annual Paws for a Cause walk. Set for Sept. 9 in 35 B.C. communities, including Surrey, the event is a fundraiser for the society, which provides emergency medical care and shelter for more than 32,000 animals across the province. Organizers hope the 2012 event will generate $1 million for the cause. It’s described as a fun way “to get involved and make a huge impact in the lives of animals in need.” Participants are encouraged to bring their four-legged friends along for the fun, and to collect pledges in the months leading up to the walk. Online fundraising is already underway, and prizes are up for grabs, including for everyone who raises $500 in June. For more, or to register for the walk, visit spca.bc.ca/walk

$250K raised A successful Lobsterfest auction dinner and dance on May 26 helped the Rotary Club of White Rock reach its latest goal – a commitment to donate $250,000 to White Rock’s Centre For Active Living. Among fundraising initiatives at the event was a lottery for an Alaskan cruise, which was won by Eline Nimetz. The club credits the support of event sponsors Scotiabank and the White Rock firefighters in helping members accomplish the objective.

Help your visitors travel worry-free. With the summer vacation season drawing near, some of us will be hosting family and friends from abroad and looking to make their stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. There are a number of things you can do to take good care of your guests, like ensuring they are properly covered in case they need medical attention during their visit. Before they arrive, discuss the importance of having travel insurance protection for the duration of their stay. Medical expenses for nonBritish Columbian residents are not covered by the provincial government. If your visitors arrive with no travel insurance protection, BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance coverage can provide up to $300,000 in emergency medical protection. BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance offers coverage for items such as hospital expenses and prescription drugs, as well as other options like trip cancellation insurance. In addition, coverage is worldwide (except in the visitor’s home country), as long as the majority of their time is spent visiting in Canada.

It pays to do your research and seek out the right travel insurance policy. Nonresident health coverage rates vary by province, type of treatment and the patient’s condition, but in general, a daily hospitalization rate can be quite costly.

For one White Rock woman, the Relay for Life at Centennial Park is a chance to celebrate her commitment to thrive with cancer. Carol Daggitt was initially diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006. After five years in remission, her breast cancer remasticized, spreading to her back. “Last year I started experiencing back pain and I found out it had spread to bones in my back and the tissue. It was extremely painful and I was very weak. I ended up having to use a walker and then a cane,” Daggit said. The 48-year-old turned to the Live Well Exercise Clinic, where, with the help of clinic director and owner Sara Hodson, she was able to build her strength for daily activities, as well as the relay. And although she is currently receiving treatment, Daggit will be wearing a yellow survivor shirt for the relay, which takes place on June 22. “Relay for Life is a chance to give back and celebrate the fact you are alive. There is something about being able to connect with people in similar situations and encourage each other,” Daggit said. Daggit will be a part of the Live Well Exercise Clinic team. The South Surrey-based clinic aims to help people with all stages of cancer stay active, as well as those with heart disease and diabetes. Daggit’s team will join more than 33 other groups. For more information, go to www.relaybc.ca/ whiterock2012 or call 604-536-2940.

Names have been chosen for three Surrey elementary schools that are set to open within the next two years. A new school in east Clayton at 6887 194A St. will be called Katzie Elementary because the school site sits within the traditional lands of the Katzie First Nation. Goldstone Park Elementary was chosen for the school being built at 6287 146 St. in honour of the adjacent park. And Sunnyside Elementary will be the name for the new school at 2828 159 St. because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a replacement for the existing Sunnyside Elementary school. The Newton Learning Centre, which is moving out of its current leased location to the former Discovery Elementary School at 13104 109 Ave., will be called City Central Learning Centre. (The Discovery program will now be housed at Royal Heights Elementary).

lifestyles Langley resident Cliff Steele passed away June 8

‘Scooter man’ died doing what he loved Monique Tamminga

W Black Press

hen a teacher at Surrey’s Holly Elementary showed students a Peace Arch News article about Langley’s “Scooter Man,” they were asked to write a letter about what they think of his acts of kindness. Sadly, Cliff Steele died just two weeks after PAN published a story May 24 detailing how the nonagenarian refurbished secondhand scooters and wheelchairs to fix up and donate to those in need. However, Steele’s daughter, Darlene, assures he got to read every single “heartwarming” letter when they arrived in the mail earlier this month. The letters, many decorated with colourful drawings, thanked Steele for showing them that it is better to give than to receive. Many promised to try and do some good deeds themselves, which is exactly what he loved to read, said his daughter. “These 11-year-old kids’ words were so thoughtful, so touching,” said Darlene last week. At age 93, her father lived his life with his foot on the throttle and that’s how he died, she said. “Dad was a man of action and he died in action.” On June 8, after working on the scooters he was repairing, he

Cliff Steele, Langley’s “Scooter Man,” passed away at the age of 93 on June 8. walked from his garage to the adjoining door to his home and collapsed. He died not long after in hospital, from a ruptured aneurysm in his aorta. “He died very suddenly and was in no pain,” she said. For the past five years, the

spry senior had been quietly buying used scooters and electric wheelchairs and fixing them up to give to people in need, for free, no strings attached. “I refurbish them and give them to people who need them. It’s a free service I’ve been offering and I’ve given away around 20 of them,”

Steele said in a recent interview. With a background in mechanics, refurbishing scooters was a hobby and pleasure, he said. He was able to refurbish up to three scooters a day, if given the product, he said. Not only did he give the scooters away, which cost around $4,000

to buy new, but he also did all the maintenance on them for free for the duration of the equipment’s existence. With 20 already given away, he was in regular contact with most of the people who own the scooters now. “A lot of these people were housebound before, and they get a new life when they get a scooter,” he told Black Press. Steele noted that since the article came out about him, the response had “been outstanding.” Not only were many people willing to donate scooters, but he had met a man willing to do the electrical aspects of the scooters and another who volunteered to pick up and drop off the scooters that were donated or bought by Steele. Darlene has worked all weekend to get all the information about those waiting for a scooter from Steele. “Everyone that was on the wait list will get a scooter,” she said. But she has asked that no more scooters be donated. When asked why he wanted to donate his time for others, Steele’s reply was simple: “When life has been good to you, do good for others.” A celebration of Steele’s life was held earlier this month at one of his favourite places, the Langley Seniors Centre.

news No reduced rates for Metro Vancouver farmers

Water subsidies rejected

Get Ready for Summer

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Farmers won’t be getting any break from Metro Vancouver on the cost of water to irrigate their crops. The regional district board voted last week to shoot down the idea of a reduced price for agricultural water consumption, at least for now. Metro directors say it’s not justifiable to provide Metro water at a discount rate to farmers. “I think it’s a bit of a slippery slope to isolate the water issue,” Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner said at a debate at Metro’s regional planning and agriculture committee. The region receives regular requests for preferential rates for agriculture, and supporting food security is one of the region’s sustainability goals. The request for special treatment came from Metro’s Agriculture Advisory Committee. How water rates are charged in the region is technically up to individual cities, but a blanket decision by the region to confer lower rates for farm purposes would flow through to farmers. Delta is the only city in the region that already opts to subsidize farmers’ irrigation, offering a 38 per cent discount within its agricultural zone on the first

water is often too contaminated. Metro plans to work with the province’s agriculture ministry to search for other methods of delivering usable water for farming. One option would be to divert some water from the Fraser into the Serpentine and Nicomekl River systems to serve farms in Surrey, although the costs of such a system are unclear. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves warned Metro may regret failing to tackle the issue seriously. “This is a ticking time bomb,” he said, calling the increasing use of pumped water from ditches and wells a potential health risk. “It scares the heck out of me,” he said. “It’s going to take one e.coli scare and it will be on the table as ‘Why didn’t you do something?’”

Metro Vancouver farmers won’t get a break on water rates. 8,000 cubic metres of water used. Matching Delta’s discounts would cost Metro an estimated $550,000 in annual subsidies, according to a staff report. The report warned other water-intensive businesses might demand similar treatment. Water pricing is legally required to be fair and equitable, so any attempt to subsidize agriculture through regional water rates would require legislative change through the province. Alternative sources of water for irrigation are either oversubscribed or problematic. The drawdown of well water for farming is unsustainable, the report noted, while Fraser River water closest to the ocean is often too salty and stream and ditch

It’s a perspective through the eyes of some of the youngest members of the community. The current White Rock Museum and Archives exhibit, Semiahmoo Bay and Beyond: The Hidden Secrets of White Rock Waters, is – as one would expect – much concerned with history, featuring the scrupulously researched marine art of Dale Bhyre, as well as artifacts chosen from the museum’s collection to highlight how the community connected with local waters through different eras of its evolution. But one wall is devoted to the viewpoint of Star of the Sea Elementary children, who provide their own charming interpretations of the marine life of Semiahmoo Bay and its environs as part of the museum’s continuing Art Wall program. Nancy Alliston, who co-ordinates the program with Linda Thomas (with Marilyn Murphy as reception co-ordinator) said part of the pleasure of the process is seeing the creativity of the young artists around each current theme in the museum. “We had one school that was a little reluctant when we suggested a theme, but we felt this was a really good step for us, and the schools have really been getting

SURREY EAGLES

Notable performances from cast from page A27 Otello in Cleveland – and his hotel suite becomes the vortex of a storm of misunderstandings, desperate scheming and delayed assignations. Partridge, veteran of many local productions, does his finest stage work to date as embattled opera manager Saunders – a laughprovoking study of seething frustration and bubbling panic. Under Mooney’s sympathetic direction, Partridge rises to the challenge of a highly physical role, showing an excellent understanding of both the idiom and the era. Slight Aaron Reno, as Saunders’ nerdy assistant Max, may miss some of the comic potential of the character but wins his share of laughs, successfully embodying an individual who turns out to be far more complex than he appears on the surface. Nicole Smashnuk, as Saunders’ star-struck daughter, Maggie, emerges in Lend Me A Tenor as a comedienne of rare ability. She misses nary a beat in her depiction of Maggie’s fluttery reaction to Merelli’s charisma, and her professionally-delivered takes and asides are hilarious to behold. As Merelli, Michael Kalmuk is admirably large in both form and gesture, totally assured and very funny. While his performance is flawless in accent, and mannerisms which are – as they must be – on the edge of

Fred Partridge as Saunders, scheming opera company manager, tries to wrestle a camera away from nosy bellhop (Sean Donnelly). caricature, he never loses sight of Tito’s basic humanity, and becomes all the more endearing because of it. As his jealous wife, Maria, Launi Bowie is wonderfully passionate and dynamic, but also believable, convincing us she actually cares for the over-eating, womanizing slob. She makes a great stage partner for Kalmuk, and their heated back-and-forth exchanges, interspersed with genuinely romantic moments, are among the show’s many highlights. Susanne de Pencier has some genuinely funny moments as silly opera society chairwoman Julia, particularly when she’s trying to interest a bemused Merelli in a dalliance; while Jackie Block does good, suitably unrestrained work as the show’s real vamp, Diana

– an ambitious soprano who is determined to seduce the tenor as a means of furthering her career (a scene in which he mistakes her for a ‘professional,’ in another sense, is another high point of double-entendre hilarity). Sean Donnelly again demonstrates his versatility in a relaxed, cheeky portrayal of an impertinent bellhop with operatic ambitions (one only wishes he had more of an opportunity to sing, although that would probably overshadow the brave, if somewhat uncertain, efforts of Kalmuk and Reno in that direction). Andrea Olund’s set masterfully evokes the era, and she and Heather Maximea’s set decoration and the properties supplied by Naomi Mitchell and Rosemarie Schuster are generally exemplary.

Billets needed Arts Reporter

It’s time for White Rock residents to reveal their generosity and love of Celtic culture. The Strathspey Fiddle Orchestra, a group of talented young musicians, singers and dancers from Moray and Aberdeenshire, Scotland, might be able to include a fundraising concert/ceilidh at White Rock Elks Club as part of their West Coast tour this July. There’s just one snag – to do so, the performers will need billets in the community for just one night following the proposed concert, on Saturday, July 14. Event organizer Cheryl Jorgensen said she has been asking

members of the Elks Club and the Irish Club to open their homes to one or two orchestra members each, but would like to extend the appeal to the rest of the community. The musicians include both males and females between 20 and 30 years old. If accommodation can be found, a White Rock performance could be sandwiched between a July 13 ceilidh at the Scottish Cultural Centre in Vancouver and a series of concert dates scheduled on Vancouver Island, Jorgensen said. Anyone interested in helping out may contact Jorgensen at 604-535-8949 or cherylajorgensen@ hotmail.com

aul Hayes knows an adventure when he sees one. How else can you explain the decision Hayes made in his early 20s? With a steady, safe job as a high school P.E. and French teacher in Kelowna, Hayes, a now-28-year-old Earl Marriott Secondary graduate, decided to spend his summers fighting fires in Northern B.C. Then, after a few years alternating between francais and fire hoses, even that was not enough to quench his thirst for excitement, and he made the decision to pack up his life and move to China, where he teaches at an English-language high

school. August. In two years overseas, he’s travelled to Along the way, they’ll pass out sports Tibet, cycled through Vietnam – from equipment to children in impoverished Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City – and run the villages as part of We Haul 2 Play – a nonGreat Wall Marathon twice. profit organization Hayes recently “I guess I kind of have an ❝I just thought started. adventurous personality – I’m “It’s going to be pretty insane,” there must be Hayes said of the trip. very curious,” said Hayes, over the phone from Shanghai, where he’s something I can “I’m going to get to see China in putting the final touches on plans do for the young so many different lights. It’s such for his latest big adventure. a large country, with so much kids here.❞ On June 30, Hayes and one history and culture, so to run Paul Hayes of his students, a 17-year-old through – like I did during the Ho Young Yoo, will embark on marathon – or to (cycle) through a 4,200-mile cycling trek from Shanghai it, it’s pretty exciting.” to Kashgar – one of China’s westernmost Hayes got the idea to hand out sports gear cities. He expects to trip to take until midto Chinese youngsters while on a trip to

Tibet last October. “The kids there really had nothing to play with. They were outside playing with sticks and rocks,” he explained. “As a kid in South Surrey, my fondest memories are of playing cul-de-sac hockey with my friends, or kicking a soccer ball around, so I just thought there must be something I can do for the young kids here.” Hayes and Yoo won’t carry all the sports gear themselves. They’ll take what they can at the start of the trip, and Hayes has a deal with a local company – “kind of a Chinese Sport Mart,” he said – in which the company will meet them with equipment in towns see page A35

For the fourth year in a row, Surrey pastor John Burns tested his endurance on the golf course, completing 100 holes in a single day. Burns, raising money for Mercy Ministries Canada, completed the marathon session at Peace Portal Golf Course Monday, starting at 4:30 a.m. and finishing just under 12 hours later. “It was grueling – I always forget how tough it is,” he said. Burns, 59, who completed the feat with friend Jodi Reimer, a golf pro, had aimed to raise $200,000 – a number they exceeded. - Nick Greenizan

House Painting by

Hayes inspired by father from page A33 along their journey. “We won’t be riding around with a giant bag of stuff this way – it’s not a Santa Claus thing,” he chuckled. Hayes, though excited for his trip, admits his plan has been met with mostly bewilderment from his colleagues and friends in China, where outdoor activity is not a normal part of the culture. It was the same reaction he got when he designed an outdoor/ adventure program for the students at the high school at which he teaches. “Here, they’re very foreign to the outdoors, to the idea of camping, mountain biking or hiking. I tell people what I’m doing and they say, ‘What are you, crazy?’” Hayes laughed. “But I’m starting to see a shift in the culture at our school, and I’m excited to see where it’s going to go.” To be fair to the doubters, the upcoming journey is no easy trip, no carefree summer vacation. Outside of the major cities, much of China’s landscape, Hayes explains, is decidedly rural, with extreme poverty just a few miles away from the country’s major urban centres. “There’s stuff to look out for, for sure. There can be bandits, things like that. You just have to be careful, smart and stay safe.” And while Hayes’ adventurous spirit may his own, his desire to give back through We Haul 2 Play is inspired, he says, by his father, Jim, who passed away from cancer two years ago. “My dad was a really simple guy from the

Yukon – he didn’t need much. And he was so unselfish, so generous, and that definitely rubbed off on me. You take the best qualities from the people that

you love,” Hayes said. “He took a lot of pride in seeing other people happy, so I’m just trying to give back, and help out the best way I know how.”

Rick Kupchuk Black Press

The two-time provincial champion Kwantlen Eagles will host the 2013 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) national tournament. Kwantlen, PacWest (Pacific Western Athletic Association) league champions in 2009 and 2010, is guaranteed a berth in the CCAA nationals as the host team, and will compete against seven other women’s soccer teams at Newton Athletic Park Nov. 5-9, 2013. The announcement was made last Thursday at the CCAA’s annual general meeting in Whistler. “We’re excited to be selected as the host of the 2013 CCAA women’s soccer national championships,” said Elise Le Brun, director of athletics and recreation at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. “The strength and history of our women’s soccer program, a stateof-the-art facility at Newton Athletic Park, and a community that lives and breathes soccer makes Kwantlen an ideal host for this

Kwantlen has enjoyed a very successful run in women’s soccer over the past four years. They qualified for the playoffs for the first time in 2008, winning a bronze medal at the PacWest playoffs. A year later, they won the firstever provincial championship by an Eagles sports team, and went on to claim a bronze medal at nationals in Etobicoke, Ont. In 2010, they repeated as PacWest champions, not giving up a goal in three playoff victories. The Eagles were fifth at the nationals in Edmonton. While Kwantlen Polytechnic University has hosted several major sporting events, hosting a CCAA national championship is a first. “Now that it’s official,” said Le Brun, “the hard work will begin as we prepare to deliver a firstclass event.”

ROBERT “NEIL” PALMER OCTOBER 23, 1920 - JUNE 11, 2012

KNIGHT, Mary Antoinette “Hazel” (Lenihan) April 13, 1930 – June 10, 2012 With great sadness we announce the passing of our dear Mom, Hazel, who died peacefully in White Rock surrounded by her family.

OBITUARIES

Mom worked in many local restaurants including: The Cottage Lunch, The Drift Inn, The Edelweiss Inn and Peace Portal Golf Course where she worked until retirement. Mom had many fond memories of these places and loved the friendships and humour that she shared with many coworkers.

Mom’s “Celebration of Life” is on Friday, June, 22 at 2:00 pm at Victory Memorial Park at 14831, 28th Avenue. After the service please join us at the White Rock Legion, Branch #8, where Mom and Dad were members for many years. Both her and Dad enjoyed their time and friends at the Legion. It must have been great to walk into a place where everyone knows you, where you can relax and be yourself.

Neil was born on October 23, 1920 in Selkirk, Manitoba. Neil passed away at 91 on June 11, 2012 at Peace Arch Hospital, in his own home town of White Rock, B.C., after a tough battle with Alzheimer’s disease and other complications. He fought hard to live. Neil is survived by his devoted, loving wife and friend Freda. He is also survived by his children Glen (Julie), Robyn (Duncan), Alison (Jim) and his Stepdaughter Robin. He is survived by 9 grandchildren & 4 great-grandchildren. Neil was predeceased by his parents Margaret & John Palmer, his first wife Sheila, his brothers Stuart (Joyce), Glen (Dorothy), his sister Carol (Herb), and nieces Ellen and Marlene. Neil served in the RCAF from 1941-1945 as an Armourer with 135 Squadron. Neil was a Corporal and received the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal with clasp and the War Medal 19391945.

He volunteered as a driver for the BC Cancer Agency for over 10 years. Neil enjoyed travelling with his loving wife at his side, to many countries; took many cruises, often to the beaches of Mexico, for over 25 years. He also travelled with Freda to visit family & friends in Canada and the U.S. by car. Neil was a very sincere true friend and a gentleman. Everyone liked him the minute they met him. Neil was always ready and willing to help a friend or a neighbour, and was a great handyman. He also had a special love for animals. He enjoyed 11 years of walking our beloved Golden Retriever, Cindy, to the beach. Even in his last days he would ask about our Persian cats.

It’s a great place to live, but as one of the most historical areas of Vancouver, Chinatown comes with several guidelines for developers. “How do you build in a part of the city with so much history?” says Brian Low, director of Panther Constructors. Panther is currently building The Flats on Georgia, a nine-storey, 28-unit condominium building in Chinatown. Some of the guidelines they ran into were height restrictions and the number of windows allowed on the building, Low says. They also had to ensure that the architecture of the project would fit

in with the surrounding buildings. After much consultation with the city, they were able to accomplish this feat. But it was the friendly atmosphere that most attracted Panther to the area. “It’s a small town inside a big city,” Low says. As a National Historic Site, Chinatown is always bustling with visitors and residents. It’s the second largest Chinatown in North America. The market holds vendors of all stripes, selling everything from local vegetables to fine seafood. A movie theatre and several banks have also set up shop, so Low’s idea of a small town in a big city is certainly not far off.

luxurious, with custom-designed vanities and porcelain tile floors. The quartz countertops are modern and cool, while the oversized shower stalls with semi-frameless glass doors (in most of the two-bedroom homes) are an elegant addition to the bathroom. The deep soaker tub is perfect for relaxing after a long day. The neighbourhood itself is a great selling feature for Verve. “Central City is all new with lots more to come,” says Chaput. With a campus of Simon Fraser University, the Central City mall, the City Centre

Library, Surrey City Hall (currently under construction), a performing arts centre and the Civic Plaza, Surrey’s City Centre is rapidly becoming a major urban gathering place. Verve is just minutes from SkyTrain, so you will be easily connected to everywhere in the Lower Mainland. There are several schools in the area as well, so Verve is great for families of all ages. The amenities in the building include a yoga studio, furnished guest suite and a gym. There will also be a children’s play area, a large meeting room, a fireside lounge with a flatscreen TV, games rooms with a pool table, games area and kitchen/bar that opens onto a private patio, and a party room with a full kitchen, bar and private patio as well. Porte will hold a grand opening on June 23, and Chaput is already anticipating a great response. “With mortgage payments around $750 per month, you can own for less than renting,” she says, adding that the homes are “super affordable. ... This is a great opportunity to get in the market.” Homes at Verve start at $154,900. Sales begin on June 23 at noon, so get there early. The presentation centre and display homes are located at 10119 Whalley Boulevard, between 100 and 102 Avenue. They are open daily from 12 to 5 p.m. except for Fridays. For more information, visit www.porte.ca/ verve or call 604-588-3783.

‘Great opportunity to get into the market’

Getting more for your money at Porte’s Verve by Kerry Vital

City style comes to Surrey with the opening of Porte Development’s Verve. Located on Fraser Highway at 139th Avenue, the location is ideal. It’s a sixminute walk to the SkyTrain station, yet set in a quiet corner of Surrey. With a great location, beautiful homes and a fantastic price point, Verve is truly a project for design lovers. “You get more for your money,” says Jeanette Chaput, director of sales and marketing for Porte. “More square footage and a really quality product.” The homes range from 541-squarefoot junior one-bedrooms to 986-square-foot two-bedroom and den condos. In addition, there is a small collection of three-bedroom townhomes that are almost 1,400 square feet. Verve will have three buildings, each with only 66 homes. This will make it a more intimate neighbourhood.

“

With mortgage payments around $750 per month, you can own for less than renting,” says Jeanette Chaput, director of sales and marketing for Porte Development.

Outside the architecture is contemporary and dynamic. Each building has a complementary but unique colour palette to give it its own style. A paved stone driveway leads onto the tree-lined interior streets between the buildings, and a pedestrian walkway makes its way to trails and parks. Each home comes with a spacious garden patio or balcony, and there is plenty of space for parking. In fact, all homes come with a parking stall and most two-bedroom homes come with a tandem stall for two cars. The nine-foot ceilings (11 feet on the top floor) lend an incredible sense of space to your home, and the two colour schemes (designed by award-winning designers BYU Interior Design) are both so beautiful that it is hard to choose between them. The kitchens at Verve have a special detail in each one. These touches range from pantries to built-in workstations and wine racks. The chic cabinetry feature high-gloss

upper cupboards and warm wood lowers, complemented by polished quartz countertops and ENERGY STAR stainless-steel appliances. Undercabinet valance lighting illuminates all of your tasks, while the laminate flooring throughout the main living areas continues into your kitchen. The bathrooms are deluxe and

New program helps seniors, people with disabilities modify homes Would a new ramp, handrails or walk-in shower help you maintain your independence at home? BC Housingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps lowincome B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modiďŹ cations that will allow them to continue living at home. Through HAFI, homeowners and landlords with eligible tenants can apply for ďŹ nancial assistance of up to $20,000 for improvements that make their home more accessible and safe. The goal of the program is to enable people who have physical limitations to live at home longer. Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical needs change over time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sometimes, a small improvement to a home can make the difference between being able to live independently or not.

The new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps low-income B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modifications for safe, accessible and independent living.

is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia through the CanadaB.C. Affordable Housing Initiative. Through the HAFI SURJUDP million in grants or forgivable loans will be distributed to qualifying B.C. residents over the next three years. To qualify for assistance from HAFI, recipients must be a lowincome senior or person with a disability, a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, and a B.C. resident. Someone in the household must have a permanent disability or loss of ability that makes it difďŹ cult to perform

day-to-day activities. As well, the total household income and assets must be below a certain limit. BC Housing can tell you the income and house value limits for your area when you apply. The program is open to both homeowners and those living in market rental accommodation where rents are at the low end of market levels; landlords must apply for improvements on behalf of eligible tenants.
