If a train derailment involving dangerous goods happens in Burnaby, it’ll be the city’s fire department and other first responders who will arrive to ensure the safety of the public. But how will they know what goods they’re dealing with? Rail companies refuse, and are not required, to provide information on what’s being shipped in advance, says Burnaby fire chief Doug McDonald in a report to council, a situation that “hinders emergency readiness and timely response by first responders” and “compromises public safety.” The report on the transportation of dangerous goods by rail in the city was requested by Coun. Nick Volkow after tragedies including one in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. Railways are regulated by Ottawa and there’s no requirement for companies to provide information on goods they transport to other levels of government, the report said. please see rAILWAyS, A4

Ambulance response times questioned New response protocol takes Burnaby by surprise

time the ambulance arrived. McLean couldn’t say enough about how well the paramedics treated him, taking him to Burnaby Hospital where he eventually had surgery. But the wait still troubles him. “I don’t know if it had been a heart attack if it’d go faster,” he said. “What some people told me is to ask for the fire department first.” In that case, there’s little that firefighters could have done other that comfort him while he waited, said Coun. Colleen Jordan. Still, it’s such incidents that has Jordan concerned about B.C. Ambulance Service’s (BCAS) response times in Burnaby and the possibility that firefighters are having to pick up the slack. She raised the issue after a recent Burnaby fire department quarterly report showed firefighters responded to significantly more medical calls compared to the same period last year. Then last week came word that BCAS had changed its resource

Stephen McLean was unloading a heavy box from his truck last Jan. 17 when he tripped, landing on his left knee in his back lane in South Burnaby. “It didn’t hurt but I could feel something was wrong,” said McLean, 65. Turns out, he’d broken his kneecap, landing just where the concrete of his garage meets the asphalt of the alleyway. He sat in the lane and called 911 on his cellphone, asking for an ambulance, then waited in the afternoon cold of winter. And waited. Meantime he phoned 911 a few more times, called over a neighbour who was arriving home and eventually got hold of his son who came right over and called 911 a few times himself. It was 70 minutes later by the

allocation plan (RAP), by downgrading the response to 70 medical conditions—instead of an ambulance being dispatched with lights and sirens, they’ll be treated as a routine call. The move “came as a total surprise” and Burnaby city hall and fire department were

not consulted, said deputy city manager Chad Turpin at Monday’s council meeting. And if firefighters respond to such calls, they’re required to stay with a patient until an ambulance arrives to take over, which means the firefighters aren’t available for other calls, noted Coun. Paul

McDonell, a retired firefighter. “What are you going to do if you have a fire?” McDonell said he’d heard the move would “save [BCAS] 30 per cent on their budget, so follow the money.” “It’s bad for injured and sick people as far as I can see, bad for fire service because it stacks up calls for fire service,” said Jordan. “This is a horrible mess.” The move was not made as a cost savings measure but rather out of a concern for public safety, said Kelsie Carwithen, manager of media relations for BC Emergency Health Services, which is responsible for BCAS. An ambulance will still respond to every call, Carwithen said by email. “This is simply a way to ensure that we are keeping the public, patients, paramedics safe by reducing the mode of the response – ie. code 3 response (driving fast) vs. routine (driving the speed limit).

Majority of those surveyed supported changes, city says ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

City hall received 158 responses to its survey with the majority in favour of the changes, said a city staff report. Coun. Dan Johnston told the council meeting that the public indicated if a stronger bylaw is to be introduced, it “has to have some teeth in it.” The fine for cutting trees without a permit or failing to replace trees as required will be increased to $500 from $300, he said. For more serious offences, the penalty would range from

$2,000 to $10,000. Fees for tree cutting permits would range from $70 per tree (to a $500 maximum) for properties not being developed to $150 per tree (to a $1,000 maximum) for those undergoing development. But the added tree protections were not approved unanimously. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal was the lone dissenting vote, saying he believes the existing bylaw “has been very effective” in preventing trees from being removed by developers. The changes will put

restrictions on homeowners from landscaping their yards as they like, and also make it less desirable to plant trees since in future “you’ll be stuck with it,” Dhaliwal said. “I find that a little too onerous.” Johnston responded that the amendments set out numerous circumstances that would allow trees to be removed, including if a tree is diseased or poses a hazard. “It’s not that draconian.” Mayor Derek Corrigan said he was “torn on this particular

bylaw myself, I’ve always been one who really believes in people’s property rights, and the idea people should, within bounds be able to do what they wanted with their property. “But I’m persuaded this is a pretty reasonable approach.” There are many trees in the city that have “become iconic and become part of our urban forest” which need protection, Corrigan said. He added that the changes would allow neighbourhoods to replace boulevard trees under a

program where the cost would be shared between the city and affected residents. In some areas boulevard trees are an ongoing source of complaints, he said, where trees chosen years ago have proven unsuitable, causing damage to cars or inordinate cleanup. The revenue, from an expected 900 permits annually, would pay for 90 per cent of the cost of maintaining the new tree bylaw program, including the addition of two full-time positions, an arborist and a technician.

Heat can be soothing to aches and pains, but can also irritate or prolong inflammation. Never use heat on new injuries or arthritic joints. Cold may not always be soothing, but will usually be therapeutic by reducing inflammation and helping to heal the actual injury. Apply ice packs wrapped in a damp cloth, in 10 min intervals.

Railways need to change with the times: Volkow ⫸

And while the companies would not provide detailed information to Burnaby, it did provide a list of all regulated goods shipped through the city in 2012. The list included diesel fuel, crude oil, aviation fuel, alcohols, ethanol and gasoline mixture, batteries, nitrous oxides, refrigerants, fireworks, sodium hydroxide, and many other chemicals. In addition, the report said, the Chevron refinery in North Burnaby receives 45,500 barrels (7.2 million litres) of crude oil a week by rail tank cars, and one to four cars containing propane or butane per day. Shell receives about 108,000 barrels (17.2 million litres) of finished petroleum products per week at its distribution terminal on Kensington Avenue. The Suncor terminal on Barnet Highway received an average of 18,000 barrels (2.9 million litres) of petroleum products per week in the first seven months of 2013. Between 1988 and 2012, Transport Canada statistics

show there were a total of 133 dangerous goods accidents involving 182 rail cars in the Greater Vancouver area, the report said. Of those, two happened in Burnaby and were minor, one involving a drum of flammable liquid in 1996 and the other a drum of sodium nitrate in 1993. The report noted that Canadian National is planning to eliminate onsite staff at three local rail bridges, including the one at Second Narrows, and replace them with a remote control system at a central location. “The elimination of the on-site staff operations is a safety and environmental concern that needs to be re-evaluated by CN particularly in light of possible increase of oil tanker traffic in the Burrard Inlet.” Council approved recommendations that the city ask the federal government to include local municipalities in future rail safety reviews and emergency planning, and to bring in legislation to prevent

emergency response costs being transferred to cities. The city will also ask Transport Canada to work with the railway companies to provide regular reports to municipalities on rail shipments of dangerous goods. Volkow said the report confirms what he’s heard about the difficulty in getting information from the railway companies. “Whenever cities try to gain information we’re basically thanked very politely for coming and shown the door and away you go,” Volkow said. “We need to remind the railways we’re in the 21st century and no longer operating with John A. Macdonald as prime minister.” Mayor Derek Corrigan noted the country is a far different place than when the laws that regulate the railways were created. “These were not urban centres when the rules were put in place,” Corrigan said. twitter.com/WandaChow

“For example, there is a certain level of risk to the public when an emergency vehicle is driving code three through a busy intersection or stretch of highway … we don’t want to put the public at risk if code three is not necessary.” The RAP changes came after a routine review of 630,000 patient records and sets out the response to almost 900 different patient conditions. When ambulance dispatchers ask questions about the patient, they input the answers into a computer program that spits out the type of response needed, explained Dr. William Dick, vice-president of medical programs for BC Emergency Health Services. Built-in redundancies in the system means “we assume things are worse than they are” to be safe, he said.

“You will save time,” he said of the difference in response. “But there is no evidence in the medical literature that saving a minute or two minutes on the vast majority of calls where we do save time makes any difference in the clinical outcome.” The types of calls where response was downgraded, “we’ve got really good evidence it’s safe to do this.” As for firefighters responding to medical calls, Carwithen stressed that local governments decide what types of calls to respond to, with some municipalities choosing only to attend when getting there sooner can impact the patient’s outcome while others respond to all calls they’re notified of. Firefighters are not trained to the same level as paramedics and mainly provide basic first aid and interventions.

The RAP changes are expected to decrease by 35 per cent the number of medical calls firefighters attend. The protocol for notifying first responders of medical calls will not be changed before consulting with them over the next month, she said. As for McLean’s long wait earlier this year, she said BCAS’s records show an ambulance was assigned as soon as one was available. “When Mr. McLean’s calls for assistance were received, all paramedics and ambulances in that area were all tasked with higher acuity events. This resulted in a response time that was outside of the average for calls of this nature.” However, if his symptoms had worsened, a higher level of response would have been provided.

As part of construction for the future Evergreen Line Inlet Centre Station, a portion of Barnet Highway, between Ioco Road and Barnet Highway, will be closed for two weekends in November to enable crews to push a large concrete box into position underneath Barnet Highway that will ultimately contain the station platform and guideway. Lane closures will begin at 7:00 pm, followed by a full closure starting at 9:00 pm on Friday, November 8 until 6:00 am on Tuesday, November 12. If the work is not completed during this first weekend, an additional weekend closure will be implemented on Friday, November 15, beginning with lane closures at 7:00 pm and a full closure at 9:00 pm that will continue until 6:00 am on Monday, November 18. Two clearly marked detour routes will be in effect during the closure periods: > Drivers travelling eastbound on St. Johns Street will be detoured at Dewdney Trunk Road to Mariner Way. Drivers also have the option of turning left on Moody Street to Murray Street to access Coquitlam. > Drivers travelling westbound on Barnet Highway will be detoured on Ioco Road to Murray Street and will use Moody Street to access St. Johns Street. Drivers coming from Coquitlam may wish to use Dewdney Trunk Road from the Mariner Way overpass to continue travelling westbound on St. Johns Street. > Signal timings at key intersections will be changed to accommodate the changes to traffic flow, however drivers should anticipate delays.

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Hands off play An elementary school in Aldergrove has banned kindergarten students from touching each other. Langley School District has banned kindergarten students at Coghlan Fundamental Elementary from all forms of hands-on play. That means children are not allowed to play tag, or hold hands, even in the form of a walking school bus, or during imaginary play, such as fake fighting games. The ban only affects kindergarten kids. How does the school intend to enforce this ban? Send every boy to the principal’s office? Actually, yes. A letter home to parents says the school is going to have a “zero-tolerance policy with regards to hands-on play, resulting in the missing of playtime and trips to the office for those who are unable to follow the rules.” The decision to temporarily ban hands-on play stemmed from concerns made by some parents about rough play on the playground. Apparently, some kids were getting hurt. “Appropriate play means you can’t grab a kid by his hoodie and pull him to the ground when you are playing tag,” said Langley School District spokesperson Ken Hoff. “Star Wars” imaginary play was also particularly troublesome. A ban on hands-on contact for six-year-olds is a bit ridiculous. If one or two or more boys are causing a little trouble, deal with them individually, speak to their parents, explain and model appropriate behaviour, as well as consequences. To put in place an almost unenforceable rule on all students shows poor judgment on the part of adults in charge of teaching young children about such skills. —Maple Ridge News/Black Press

Vets paid the price so we could save? I take a somewhat dim view of cross-border shopping at the best of times. But Remembrance Day puts me over the top. You can pretty much guarantee that on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, B.C. shoppers will be lined up at the border in an immense, idling column, waiting to advance deep into U.S. territory to invade the malls of Bellingham. The R-Day landings will once again see battalions of Canadians head south to triumphantly capture retail products for a few dollars cheaper than at home. Never mind that they had to burn extra fuel to do it, and in some cases subject themselves to iris scans by U.S. authorities for a quicker crossing. Really, people.

Heck, I’d love to see Royal Canadian Legion members mount a ground counteroffensive and go from car to car in the lineup soliciting contributions for the Poppy Fund from these patriots. Can’t afford that? How tragic.

Green project to expand An Alpha secondary student’s efforts to make school events greener is raising money to expand the initiative. Grade 10 student Tomas Lang was tired of seeing bags of garbage filled with disposable plates and cutlery routinely being tossed after each special event. So he secured grants to fund the purchase of ceramic plates and steel cutlery that could be washed and reused. Now Lang and others involved in the Green Events Program have started a crowdfunding campaign raising money online to fund similar initiatives at Burnaby Central, Moscrop and Burnaby South secondaries and three high schools in Vancouver where students have shown interest. So far $485 has been raised. Info and to donate: http://bit.ly/ HFgrx2

Oil pipeline toll one option for B.C. benefits

Don’t Leaf it on the street….

Alberta premier hopeful after agreement with Clark

Leaves blown from your property onto streets could pose safety concerns and cover catch basins which are located next to the sidewalk or curb.

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Alberta Premier Alison Redford says she’s optimistic her deal with B.C. Premier Christy Clark will increase the flow of oil west to the Pacific to diversify Canadian energy markets. She spoke Tuesday to the Vancouver Board of Trade after the two premiers unveiled what they called a framework agreement for cooperation on Premier Christy Clark met Alberta Premier Alison Redford in Vancouver Thursday new heavy oil pipelines. to announce what they are calling a “framework agreement” for heavy oil “It makes it clear, officially, pipeline expansion to the West Coast. that Alberta’s royalties are off the table,” Redford said. “The environmental risk and satisfy B.C. pipeline relative to other economic benefit cannot be her fifth condition for new oil pipelines Alberta also wants provided or guaranteed by the pipelines. built to carry its oil south or government of Alberta.” “That is certainly one east, or relative to the shipping While B.C. won’t ask Alberta example but it may or may not of oil by rail. to hand over any share of oil be the one we end up seeing,” In her speech to business royalties or taxes, it can seek to Redford said. leaders, Redford pointed out impose its own toll or tax on oil She stressed the discussion on 42 per cent of the natural gas that may flow through a new benefits is one for B.C. to have produced in B.C. flows through pipeline, with Alberta’s support. directly with industry, adding Alberta to get to markets Clark hasn’t said if a pipeline she sees no role for Alberta. – without any toll being applied toll is how B.C. will seek to Such a charge may reduce by her government. gain direct benefits to offset its the competitiveness of a new Please see Gov’t, A10

“Our provinces share economic destinies,” she said, making the case for the two province’s to work closely together to prosper from energy exports. Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers vicepresident Greg Stringham downplayed the potential for a provincially imposed pipeline toll, saying the idea has not been formally proposed. “As we look at options

I’m sure that’s one that will be considered on the table,” he said, but added industry is unlikely to propose any preferred solution. Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said it was “too early” to talk about the idea of a B.C.-imposed toll on each barrel shipped through a twinned Trans Mountain pipeline. “We’re looking to define and deliver the benefits from our project directly to

And quite frankly, our rivers and our coast aren’t for sale.” NDP leader Adrian Dix contrasted Tuesday’s statements with Clark’s position before the May election, where the government told the federal review panel on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal it was opposed. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said B.C. has also changed its position to say oil shipments are “going to happen, whether by train or by pipeline.” A federal review panel is preparing to make recommendations on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline proposed to run from Alberta to a new marine terminal at Kitimat.

Regular maintenance costs are easily figured but some cars can be very expensive if parts have to be brought in from around the world. Once you have a handle on the above, you can narrow your choice. It is important you like the looks of the second most expensive purchase of your life. However, make sure it serves its intended purpose by answering some questions. Typically, how many people do you need to transport and how far? Is there enough stowage space in the cabin and the trunk or luggage compartment? Do you need V8 power or will an economical four-cylinder suffice? Now go and kick some tires at a variety of dealerships and consider multiple brands because they all have much to offer.

The larger 2.5L engine puts out a healthy 184hp. It is the interior buyers will care most about, and the Mazda3 is a nice surprise, due to class leading available options and a high level of finish. Starting at $15,995 and running up to $29,895, there is a Mazda3 for all budgets.

Toyota believes this new Corolla can take the overall sales crown away from the Honda Civic.

2014 Toyota Corolla

Zack Spencer

Continuing with the compact car theme, the Toyota Corolla is the third best selling car in Canada but Toyota believes this new model can take the overall sales crown away from the Honda Civic. This new 2014 model is made, and partly designed, right here in Canada with our needs in mind. The Corolla now has a longer wheelbase for amazing interior space, especially in the back seat. The dash is wide and flat for ample room and covered in nice looking and feeling materials, plus there is an available centre screen to use

for the radio and backup camera. Powering the 2014 Corolla is the same 132hp 1.8L engine from the last model, with one exception. The LE Eco model has a modified valve system to improve fuel economy and pump the power to 140hp. The biggest change is the introduction of a continuously variable transmission for a greater range of gears, improved economy, and a smooth drive.

2014 Volkswagen Golf This new Golf will be made in Mexico alongside the Beetle and Jetta sedan and

will go on sale in the spring of 2014. It is wider and longer than the last Golf but also significantly lighter and safer. The base engine will be a new turbocharged 1.8L engine with 170hp but don’t worry the TDI diesel is carried over. The sportier GTI trim is fantastic, with an estimated 225hp, in the Canadian model, thanks to a new 2.0L turbo engine. The interior materials used inside are almost Audi quality. No price yet but building these new cars inside the NAFTA zone will save money and that will be reflected in the price.

2014 Jeep Cherokee The Cherokee is back and it looks nothing like the boxy truck of old. In fact, this new, small SUV is based on the same Alfa Romeo platform used in the Dodge Dart. It is smooth and quiet and a pleasure to drive. The Cherokee is also the first vehicle in the world to be equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp or the optional 3.2L V6 with

271hp, for just $1,300 more, offering good value. Not to worry Jeep fans, this new Cherokee is available with three AWD systems.

2014 Nissan Rogue You might notice a trend with my 2014 model choices are all compact cars or compact SUVs. This is the direction Canadians are heading when it comes to buying a new vehicle. With this in mind Nissan has an all-new Rogue compact SUV with enough room inside for three rows of seats and room for seven passengers. This is practical for people who require extra capacity but don’t want to buy a bigger or more expensive mid-sized or larger SUV. Under the hood is a 2.5L 4-cylinder used in other Nissan products and is matched to a new continually variable transmission featuring more available ratios and reduced friction. The interior is very well executed, with a dash that looks similar to the bigger Pathfinder. Goes on sale just before Christmas. zack.spencer@ drivewaybc.ca

We should eat more alkaline food. We all know that swimming pools can only work if they are acidic/alkaline neutral. This is still more critical for our body. Basic information to have an alkaline body: USDA now recommended on their website. MY plate.gov 50% should be alkaline food (vegetables, salads, legumes, fruit, berries, mushrooms) 50% can be acidic food (Meat, fish, shellfish, eggs, rice, nuts, cheese. Less or no bread, noodles, cereals, cakes. No sweets, deep frieds.) Most North American diet is 90% acidic food. If you have trouble to achieve at least a 50% in alkaline food and 50% acidic food, consider to take a supplement like Bell Acidic #39 Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive and comes with a guarantee. It helps to have a healthy alkaline balanced body and prevents many discomforts, including indigestion and stomach acid reflux coming up, which a majority of people suffer with. 60 million in North America. We should not ignore that Dr. Otto Warburg M.D. was awarded 2 Nobel Prizes for proving that an alkaline balanced body can absorb up to 20 times more oxygen than an acidic body. Makes our immune system more effective to fight disease-producing bacteria including cancer cells we have in our body every day of our life. < Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC < Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief with noside effects and no antacids needed anymore. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA < Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking antacid products. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL

What our patients say... Ankle and Foot “Laser treatment for my foot and ankle injury (ligaments & tendons) was a success after 3 years of trying other treatments which failed.” EA (85) Headache & Neck Pain “Due to a whiplash injury, I suffered severe neck pain. I had approximately 18 treatments and no longer suffer neck pain - it is truly a miracle.” Patsy Bernstein (58) Arthritis Both Knees “I have been suffering from knee pain for several years. I tried a number of other treatments to no avail. I am more than pleased with the results of laser light as my pain has reduced significantly.” William Jack (63) Shoulder Pain “I had frozen shoulder that limited my mobility. After 9 treatments of laser therapy my shoulder has gained back almost all mobility. There is no pain or discomfort with the treatments.” J.L. (48) Neck pain for 20 years “I had tried so many other procedures before so I thought I’d give laser light a try as all others had failed. After a few sessions I was surprised from the relief I got. I would highly recommend this procedure as a solution, it really works.” D.D. (69)

Plantar Fasciitis “I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur on my heel. I have been going for 4 weeks now and am almost all the way healed. The treatments are painless.” J.M. (52) Hip Replacement “After having a hip replacement, I have lived with constant pain for 4 years. After having laser treatment, I feel like a new person.” V.W. (84) Knee Pain “...after just 7 sessions, I feel much better. I can now walk and go up and down stairs without pain at the end of the day.” G.L. (48) Severe Back Pain “After a CT scan of my low back, I was diagnosed with: • Lumbar disc bulges L2 L3 L4 L5 • Pars defect with anterolisthesis • Central canal spinal stenosis • Scoliosis My doctor recommended surgery. Fortunately, I was recommended to try Laser Therapy – what a blessing! After 10 treatments, I am able to walk pain free. What a relief!” M.B. (71) Foot Pain Due to Fracture “...my mobility has returned and the pain has gone!” D.B. (55)

Laser Light Therapy Low Intensity Laser Therapy

Neck Pain for 10 Years “After just 6 treatments the pain was gone and I could turn my neck freely. the difference was so huge, I couldn’t believe it!” M.R. (46) Knee Pain for 30 Years “I feel rejuvenated at 52, cycling regularly and ready to take on more physical challenges. Thanks to this amazing therapy!” Bill (52) Hip Flexor Ligament Torn “I would recommend this to anybody who is tired of wasting time with methods of recovery that don’t work, or you just want to get better faster.” RL (13) Cold Sore “I hadn’t been aware of laser for such an application, but I was delighted to see visible improvement after one treatment, and after the second, it was gone!” C.M. (64) Shoulder & Arm Pain “...the benefit to my shoulder is so surprising that I am continually moving, stretching my arm just to prove to myself that I am not imagining what I am feeling and doing. Moving without pain! That is something to be happy about.” A.B. (58)

Painful Hamstring “With the laser treatment, my hamstrings aren’t tight anymore, I have much more flexibility.” S.B. (29) Inguinal Hernia Post Surgery “I found the treatments alleviated acute pain after a hernia operation. I would recommend the procedure to anyone with pain or scars” GPA (55) Frozen Shoulder Tendonitis “I began a series of treatments on my shoulder and neck which I found to be relaxing and non-invasive. Ultimately I regained, almost completely, mobility in my left shoulder.” A.L. (69) Neck Pain “Even after the first session of cold laser therapy, I felt the difference right away.” M.E. (54) Thigh Pain “I no longer have pain from my hip to the knee. This is such a miracle for me and I highly recommend it. It’s FABULOUS!” C.B. (61) Cold Sore “On the fourth day, I had my 3rd and final 30 minute treatment. The outbreak was finished and my lip felt and looked good as new.” William (52)

HOW IT WORKS

Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, non-toxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes. When placed in contact with the skin, this energy safely penetrates the tissue. At an intracellular level, the light is transformed into biochemical energy. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

BioFlex Low Intensity Laser Therapy is an effective solution for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions, dermatological problems and the healing of open wounds. BioFlex therapy can safely increase the rate of recovery and help patients reduce the need for pain medication. BioFlex also has the ability to promote rapid recovery post surgery. The beneficial effects of LILT are cumulative over the course of a series of treatments.

A fun fitness challenge

If you think conquering cancer is worth sweating over, JOIN US! Register for Workout to Conquer Cancer today.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Members of the Leadership Club at Confederation Park elementary did more than the traditional trick-or-treating this Halloween, they gave back by collecting non-perishable food items for the food bank. The four Grade 7 girls delivered notices to homes on three blocks in the Heights neighbourhood letting residents know they would be collecting the food items on that day. They had an overwhelming response, collecting about 215 items weighing a total 185 pounds. And with the food drive taking place right after school, they still had time to go trick-or-treating for candy after supper.

Conquering cancer isn’t easy, but that doesn’t mean supporting BC’s cancer researchers can’t be fun! Join us for the Workout to Conquer Cancer on March 8, 2014 at Richmond Olympic Oval for the most meaningful workout of your life. It’s a full day of upbeat workouts for people of all fitness levels. You’ll have a blast, get lots of great exercise, and be inspired by people like you who are ready to get sweaty for the sake of conquering cancer!

Willoughby Town Centre already thriving in Langley By Kerry Vital

Willoughby Town Centre celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 21, but the neighbourhood has been extremely popular with Langley residents for much longer than that. Loblaw’s Your Independent Grocer, Noma Sushi, Town Centre Liquor, Sassy Nails and several other stores are already

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

operating, while other businesses will soon open up shop. “This is very much a growing community,” says Hugh Carter, vice-president of community and commercial development for Qualico, one of the driving forces behind Willoughby Town Centre. “There are not only major tenants, but also a good collection of independents as well.” Eventually there will be a variety of shops and services available, including a building devoted mainly to medical and dental offices, as well as a pharmacy, yoga studio and a variety of boutiques. Willoughby Town Centre will also include a residential

component. The first phase is Kensington, a 65-unit apartment building. Other projects are planned for the future. Willoughby Town Centre joins South Surrey’s Morgan Crossing and West Vancouver’s Park Royal as “lifestyle centres” with residential and commercial space. “We believe in these walkable communities,” Carter says. “There’s a broader appeal here that I think is unique in the marketplace.” “The whole idea is to be pedestrian-friendly,” says Diane Zarola, sales and marketing manager for Qualico. “We want it to be a gathering place.” John Johnson, owner of Town Centre Liquor, is very happy with his decision to open up shop in Willoughby Town Centre. “It’s a real country setting with a downtown flavour,” he says, adding that he’s happy that the store can be in the neighbourhood from the beginning. “This area is growing so quickly. It’s really quite amazing.”

Marcon’s Heywood on the Park showcases Classic Modern architecture in a beautiful location beside a 39.5-acre park in North Vancouver. Laminate flooring, nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows are just a few of the amazing features.

Park-side living at Marcon’s Heywood on the Park By Kerry Vital

If you’re looking for a home that’s as beautiful as the 39.5-acre park it’s named after, you need look no further than Heywood on the Park, Marcon’s condominium project in North Vancouver that showcases great design and a fantastic location. “You’re literally on the edge of the park,” says sales manager Wendy Pirie. “The park is on two sides of the building, so you’ll never have buildings there.

on the other two sides; it’s really unique to have all of that.” Curb appeal is abundant at Heywood on the Park, with its Classic Modern architecture designed by NSDA Architects. Ranging from approximately 538 to 1,184 square feet, the one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are available in a variety of spacious floorplans. Among the luxurious features you’ll find at Heywood on the Park is laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and ninefoot ceilings (eight feet in the bathrooms). The oversized windows optimize natural light even on the darkest of days. “These are extremely bright suites,” Pirie says. “They don’t feel like condos.” The kitchens are fit for any budding gourmet, with their stainless-steel appliances, solid quartz countertops and full-wrap series cabinetry in Frosty White Gloss,

complemented by accent cabinets in squareedge Brookside Whitewashed Oak or Brookside Veneer Teak. Select homes include full-height pantries with a built-in microwave and a USB charging station. The bathrooms are relaxing, with their own solid quartz countertops and a deep soaker tub. The tub and shower surround is accented by Calacatta stone, complementing the Arctic White tiles. A floating mirror with polished chrome accent lighting shows you in your best light, while the warm grey porcelain tile floor is elegant and contemporary. The best feature of the homes at Heywood on the Park is the amazing views of the North Shore mountains or city (in some plans). This is accentuated by the generous patios, decks and terraces in every home. “These terraces are just huge,” Pirie says. Heywood on the Park’s location offers easy access to the rest of the Lower Mainland,

as well as schools, dining, recreation and shopping all within walking distance. On-site, you’ll find an amenity lounge with a patio. Marcon has a well-established reputation for gorgeous homes and great customer service, something that Pirie says has been bringing people into the sales centre. “They are there for you after the purchase,” she says. “They’ve built on the North Shore before. They’re top-notch.” Homes at Heywood on the Park start at $288,900.
