If White Rock wants to keep train whistling to a minimum along its waterfront, it will have to spend $1.8 million for upgrades to its pedestrian crossings.

Six reports – one per crossing – outlining the work are to be discussed in detail Wednesday during a meeting between officials representing the federal agency, the city and BNSF. The $1.8-million estimate, St. Louis noted, does not include an additional $700,000 in

work that is expected to be required within seven years of new safety guidelines that are anticipated to be announced by Transport Canada in the near future. “That $1.8 million is for flashing lights, bells and everything” at the Finlay, Ash, Balsam, Cypress and Bay street crossings, as well as a gate at the pier-head crossing, St. Louis said. i see page 4

Discussion on prohibition dominated a townhall meeting last week on legalizing marijuana. About 75 people attended the meeting, sponsored by the federal Liberals, at Sunnyside Hall Thursday evening. Former MLA and solicitor general Kash Heed kicked off the forum speaking on his experience in law enforcement. Referencing Colorado and Washington, both of which are blazing the trail for marijuana legalization in the U.S., Heed noted it is only a matter of time until Canada follows suit. “We will have a regulated market for mari-

juana in Canada for recreational adult use in three to four years, regardless of who is in power in Ottawa. Whether it’s the Conservatives, the Liberals or even the NDP,” he said. Heed was followed by presentations from UBC associate professor Mark Haden, BC Marijuana Party’s Steve Finlay (a co-organizer of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) and Liberal Party of Canada’s B.C. organization chair Sangeeta Lalli. Half a dozen community members posed questions, including one woman who asked if the panelists ever used marijuana, with Heed

and Lalli saying they had not. “I’m not a virgin, let’s keep it at that,” Haden said, laughing. South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP Russ Hiebert did not return Peace Arch News’ request for an interview, but said in an emailed response via his constituency assistant that his Conservative government is focused on job creation and the economy, not marijuana. “It is sad that the Liberals’ top priority is the legalization of pot,” the email states. “This just demonstrates why they should not be trusted to govern our nation. “I do not support the legalization of marijuana or other illicit drugs.”

The mayor of Surrey said she is hopeful leading up to a meeting with the justice minister next week that the province will move forward with creating a long-awaited community court in the city. Dianne Watts told Peace Arch News Monday she is feeling “encouraged” ahead of her meeting with Justice Minister Suzanne Anton set for Feb. 5. “The minister has been very supportive of the initiative throughout the last number of months,” she said. While the projected cost is still being analyzed, Watts confirmed the model she presented to Anton proposed the use of council’s current chambers, which will be vacated when the new city hall is officially opened next month. Watts began advocating for the new system with the launch of the city’s Crime Reduction Strategy in 2006. The court would be designed to deal with “low-level crime” – including people with addiction problems, offending youth and domestic issues, Watts said. The call for a community court was echoed by Surrey’s NDP MLAs, who made a public appeal Sunday for the BC Liberal government to move forward with the initiative. The court is one facet of the NDP’s proposed Surrey Accord, designed to address reports of increasing violence in the city.

White Rock advised to prohibit medicinal grow-ops

Penguin Meat Supply Specials Effective Wednesday, January 29 - Saturday, February 1

Medical-pot setbacks vv

Sarah Massah Staff Reporter

Residents campaigning for a provincial medicinal-marijuana program have hit a couple of roadblocks. Canadian Medical Cannabis Partners has been lobbying the City of White Rock for support of a provincial medicinal-marijuana program, as new federal regulations that will shift the program to a system of regulated commercial growers are set to kick in April 1. However, a recommendation to the city’s land-use and planning committee from the acting director of planning proposes an amendment that would prohibit the cultivation, growth, storage and distribution of medical marijuana anywhere in White Rock. Previously, city staff had recommended creating a zone for the operations but not applying the zone to any property. “Although this was an initial recommendation from the Union of BC Municipalities, the city has since found that a zoning amendment bylaw is invalid if it provides for a zone but does not actually zone a property,” the report states. The recommendation (discussed Monday after Peace Arch News’ press time) comes on the heels of a town-hall forum on legalizing marijuana sponsored by the federal Liberals, where about 75 people packed Sunnyside Hall Thursday to hear four panelists. Responding to a question from CMCP founding member Joy Davies, former BC Liberal solicitor general Kash Heed said a provincial medicinal-marijuana program would not come to fruition for now. “The provincial governments are just going to point the finger at Ottawa and say that it’s a federal piece of legislation,” he said. “I don’t think you’re going to be able to change it. I think we have to go with what we have and make the best of it until we move to the next

Joy Davies addresses Thursday’s panel. level of legalization.” After the forum, however, Davies told PAN she doesn’t believe Heed was correct. “This just means we have more work to do. We understand there is a cognitive dissonance that happens in government and between individuals in government,” she said. Davies noted that Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, who also attended, had been supportive of the group’s efforts to organize an inclusive discussion on the subject. Hogg told PAN he has had conversations with the solicitor general, the attorney general and the minister of health about the federal medicinal-marijuana plans. “A letter has gone to the federal government in respect to this issue and I’m hoping for more collaboration and more opportunity for input from these groups… and ensure that the legislation coming into effect from the federal government is tempered in its application,” he said. “The whole notion is developing a policy with the end users in mind, and the users of this policy certainly at this point have not had that opportunity.”

Alleged admission could bar pop star south of border, immigration lawyer predicts

U.S. pot stance ‘equal for all Canadians’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

Justin Bieber may need his snow boots again soon. The pop star’s arrest in Miami Beach last week should almost certainly result in him being deported back to Canada, according to a Blaine lawyer who defends B.C. residents who run afoul of U.S. law. Len Saunders contacted Black Press after Bieber’s arrest, noting the 19-year-old could easily be kicked out of the U.S. and barred from re-entry because of statements he made to police – regardless of any criminal proceedings. Bieber, already in trouble over a case of vandalism involving his California neighbours, was arrested early Thursday in a yellow Lamborghini that police said was racing another car. He was charged with driving

Conditional release

RCMP calls for victims Kevin Diakiw Black Press

Surrey Mounties are calling for potential sexual-assault victims to step forward, after a man was charged with various offences. Joel Scarff, 38, was arrested on Jan. 2 and charged with four counts of sexual interference and two counts of invitation to sexual touching involving youth under age 16. He is alleged to have used social media to meet and date women, where he subsequently met younger Joel Scarff people. accused Although he lives in Coquitlam, he is known to have frequented various areas throughout the Lower Mainland. Based on the method the accused is alleged to have used to meet victims, investigators are concerned there may be more who have yet to make reports. Following his last court appearance on Jan. 23, Scarff was released on several conditions. He can’t have contact with his alleged victims. He is also prohibited from attending areas where young people can expect to be present (parks, playgrounds and schools) or from being employed or volunteering in a position that involves trust or authority with young persons. Scarff ’s next scheduled court appearance is set for Feb. 6 in Surrey Provincial Court. Surrey RCMP ask that anyone who has any information about him to contact the Surrey RCMP’s Child Abuse and Sexual Offence Unit at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

A neighbour examines the impact of excavation that the City of White Rock fears compromised the stability of a lane behind Columbia Avenue.

Excavation project undertaken with no geotechnical engineer on site, city says

Fear of collapse closes back lane Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

A section of a lane behind Columbia Avenue in White Rock is closed to traffic – including emergency vehicles – after the thoroughfare’s stability was threatened by excavation Friday. “We’re concerned that they may have compromised the safety of the lane access,” Richard Wilson, the city’s acting director of development services, explained of the measure. The work in question was undertaken with the intent of installing a retaining wall. Barricades were erected in the lane from Ash Street to west of 15531 Columbia Ave. and an order for immediate backfill was issued after a

resident reported an unsafe situation. Wilson said inspection determined the bank behind two under-construction homes was cut straight down on the rear property line, without the required supervision of a geotechnical engineer. “There is a geotechnical engineer on the project but he wasn’t called in by the developer to address this latest work, which is obviously a mistake on the developer’s part,” he said. A man who lives near the site said city officials told him they were concerned that vehicles using the lane in that compromised state could trigger a collapse. “He said a heavy truck going up the lane

could’ve ended up in a house,” said the man, who wouldn’t give his name. In addition to backfill, the city ordered the developer to have the geotechnical engineer assess the situation and devise a plan to secure the excavation. City officials were to return to the site Monday. The lane will not be reopened until it has been certified safe – “as soon as possible,” Wilson said. The lane was still closed to traffic at Peace Arch News press time. Wilson said a permit for the work was in place.

Rail-safety talk i from page 1 If Transport Canada is satisfied with the proposed upgrades – and BNSF agrees – it will take 10 to 12 months to complete the work, which would be undertaken by BNSF and paid for by White Rock. “BNSF said they have not paid… in Canada or the U.S. for any rail crossing because it is (for) the benefit of the road authority – or us – the crossing, and not their benefit,” St. Louis explained. The findings were the subject of much discussion Thursday, at a meeting of the city’s new rail-safety task force. Chaired by Coun. Grant Meyer, the group’s mandate is to help “guide the process of improving rail safety in White Rock in consideration of the issues of pedestrian safety, the rerouting of dangerous goods, and air quality from coal trains and diesel emissions.” Meyer noted pedestrian safety Coun. Grant Meyer rail task force is the task force’s biggest issue. He suggested – and Couns. Al Campbell and Larry Robinson agreed – simple, inexpensive steps should be taken to address concerns until more extensive work can be done. “We can clean them up a little, we can get some bigger, bolder signs,” Meyer said. “But I think it’s got to be pretty blunt… ‘look, listen, live.’” Other suggested work includes removing stairs from the Finlay Street crossing – where the summer fatality occurred – to direct pedestrians to use the switchback ramp. That step, which Robinson said was recommended by victim Anita Lewis’s loved ones, forces users to look both ways. The group also discussed alternate routes for dangerous goods. Council resolved last year to request advance notice of trains carrying dangerous goods, to allow emergency responders to better prepare. Exploring alternative routes for trains carrying oil and other dangerous goods was one of three recommendations announced Thursday by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. The task force plans to discuss the issue Friday with MP Russ Hiebert.

Province should butt into e-cig debate

A

new product has hit store shelves with the potential to do great harm. Electronic nicotine-free cigarette-style vaporizers are designed to give smokers the pleasure and feeling of smoking a cigarette, without the nicotine and carcinogenic smoke. Indeed, for many, these products may be useful in helping them to quit smoking by providing a healthier substitute. But since the product doesn’t contain nicotine or smoke, it is currently unregulated, and legal to sell to minors. This is problematic, because while e-cigarettes may be nicotine- and smokefree, their use by children normalizes and glamourizes tobacco, and could encourage them to take up smoking real cigarettes. Many electronic cigarettes come in fruity flavours, which seem to be geared specifically for children. In 2010, Health Canada made it illegal for retailers to sell tobacco products flavoured with vanilla, banana, cherry or other taste sensations that may appeal to children. No restriction applies to e-cigarettes, however. And it doesn’t make sense to expect shop owners to take it upon themselves to restrict the sale of a legal product out of some moral duty we may think they should have to the community. They are in business to do business, and will operate within the bounds of the law. Which is why the laws need to change, with the sale of these products restricted to adults only. Some jurisdictions are already placing restrictions on their use. Nova Scotia’s health ministry recently proposed banning e-cigarettes from bars and restaurants, whether the devices contain nicotine or not. Last week, Fraser Health chief medical health officer Paul Van Buynder suggested nonnicotine flavoured e-cigarette vaporizers could be a gateway to smoking tobacco, and thus should be restricted. It’s time the provincial government caught up to this new technology and ensure it stays out of the hands of children.

new “Compass card” program will be encountered this summer, just before those mayors go to the polls to face voter wrath. Speaking of reversals, Stone is now demanding the mayors come up with their list of priorities for new projects. They are expected to believe their choices won’t be overruled again. Stone correctly notes that Vancouver wants SkyTrain on Broadway, Surrey wants new surface light rail, and other Lower Mainland communities want new road and bridge works. Local governments have a long history of parochial squabbling, getting their pet projects done and then suddenly developing the urge to rein in spending once it’s time to dig deep for their neighbours. Lower Mainland taxpayers are weary and confused by all this reorganizing and in-fighting. Many likely believe that it is their regional government that has imposed the Port Mann bridge tolls, when in fact that is a provincial highway project over which they had no say. Clark has made it clear there is no going back from a November referendum on new regional transportation financing tools, a promise explicit in the BC Liberal election platform. She hopes it will increase the dismal voter turnout for local votes. If it does that, it may be worth it. Right now, civic elections are dismal affairs, with voter turnout and awareness of local issues drifting from bad to worse.

Fallout over care proposal Editor: Re: More to lose than care beds, Jan. 21 letters. Many nearby residents read, with much remorse, the communication written by letter-writer D. Lypka casting aspersions upon contractor Mark Ankenman’s appointment as architect for the Evergreen Baptist Campus of Care development. One has to assume the author was or is working to earn an income. How sad it is to think that the letter writer might one day fall from his ivory condo and need the very services Evergreen provides. As one ages, life itself is the great equalizer, and one hopes he may be accommodated by the very care providers that he disrespects. James Golightly, White Rock Q Re: Care-bed strife, Jan. 23. Does anyone care about trees in White Rock? City manager Dan Bottrill states that one of the things that the city takes seriously is our trees (‘City takes tree poisoning seriously,’ Jan. 14). But the developer of a planned extension to the Evergreen Care Home located on Oxford Street intends to cut down 22 old-growth trees if the project is approved. If you care about trees and do not wish to see them destroyed, please attend the public hearing on Feb. 3 at White Rock Community Centre to show and voice your opposition to the Evergreen project.

party comprehensive health-impact assessment and full public hearings. We are not opposed, as Gordienko suggests, to the extraction and export of B.C. metallurgical coal that is used for steelmaking and which provides many Canadian jobs. Margie Ostroff, Surrey Q Every evening we watch a commercial of little children from the Congo asking for money so they can have food and an education. People in many places in this world have no resources. They cannot help themselves because they have nothing and never will. Imagine if in 100 years, our descendants had to do the same commercial and it was shown in China. We have resources, but there is a reason we cannot get at them. We need to get coal to a terminal, and there are those who are saying coal dust is affecting their health. I say, bah humbug. You are outside where the fresh air is, and a little coal dust is never going to harm you. When I was 14, I started work at the pits in County Durham. My job was picking stones from the coal off a conveyer belt in a building 150 feet long, 30 feet wide and 12 feet high. During our eight-hour shift, none of us kids could see the far end of the building because of the dust. Each day, when we left, we

were covered completely with coal dust, trying to clear our systems by continually spitting out that dust. For seven years I suffered this. Not quite the same as having a train passing by once in a while, is it? I know many will question why so many coal miners have lung disease. Those men spent most of their lives down the pit working under closed conditions – not seven years. My health today? I am 85, and for my age I am considered very healthy. I walk and exercise every day. I ask those who are against coal, oil, liquid gas, etc., to think of the coming generations, or even of tomorrow. Our doctors and hospitals are getting shortchanged, our schools are not serviced as they should be. The transit system is in a mess. Where do you think we can find the money? The taxpayer. However, if we had a clear path to reach our resources, it would be much easier for our descendants. In the next 15 years, the health industry needs billions to handle the dementia epidemic. Are you still going to object to a little coal dust? R. Morton, Surrey Q Re: Douse coal concerns, Jan. 21 letters. Yet again this paper has printed a poorly informed letter about coal trains through our community.

When will it become clear to everyone? I refer to the letter suggesting covering or spraying the coal cars. Citizens are greatly concerned about much more than dust. The dangerous increase in toxic diesel particulates spewed from the engines on each coal train is a huge worry. Each train is heavy and there will be many more engines passing through. Diesel particulate matter and coal dust are both important. Importantly, this is U.S. coal – mined by Americans, in Wyoming, sold to Asia. There are no mining jobs created in Canada by this process. It’s not our coal, and no benefits come from BNSF to us for setting up this conveyor belt from the U.S. to China. People seem to have trouble understanding that. The U.S. gets the mining jobs and the money, China gets the dirty thermal coal to burn. What does any of that have to do with us? If this goes forward, all we get is the air and water pollution, the safety hazards, the noise, vibration, traffic congestion and the hassle of these 140-car trains passing though in each direction all day and night. Let America ship the stuff to China themselves. Why do Canadians have to bear the brunt of the side-effects? Wendy Wulff, Surrey

Clearing up coal issues Editor: Re: Coal exposure not a health issue, Jan. 7 letters. International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada president Mark Gordienko misrepresents the views of Paula Williams and the Communities and Coal Committee. We are specifically opposed to the shipment of U.S. thermal coal to Metro Vancouver from Wyoming by train and transferred to barges at Surrey Fraser Docks. It would then be shipped to Texada Island to be transferred by ocean-going vessels for export to Asia to be used for generating power. Both Washington and Oregon states have refused to allow passage on the grounds of health and environmental concerns. It is not just our committee who is opposed to this U.S. thermal coal, but every municipal Lower Mainland council has passed motions opposing the transfer of U.S. thermal coal through their communities on the grounds that it provides only 25 jobs and is a health and environmental concern as well. They are also concerned about the limitations of the environmentalimpact assessment performed by SNC Lavalin and they unanimously demand an independent third-

Federal and provincial politicians need to take ownership of our many transit-funding issues, writes Martin Cooper.

Senior governments drive transit Editor: Transit has become similar to the HST fiasco – no decent ideas of how to solve it. The provincial government should stand up and be responsible by administrating transit, not the mayors. Sadly, too many politicians are more interested in their so-called image, and not making hard, intelligent, responsible decisions that they have been voted into office to achieve. Transit at present is too large to manage. It should be split into separate entities – the buses and SkyTrain, one division; the main roads, bridges and tunnels, another. Allow the buses to run on duty-free fuel. The federal and provincial governments removing fuel taxes would reduce greatly some of the costs running them. The SkyTrain GST/PST should be exempt from hydro costs. After all, these taxes do return to all of us eventually. The administration costs would also be reduced, as less administrators would be employed collecting these taxes. The roads, bridges and tunnels throughout B.C. should have the users of these amenities pay to fund them. Whatever is budgeted into roads, bridges and tunnels at present should stay. Additional monies should be raised through a vehicle levy/tax – i.e. motorcycles $50 per annum, general class 5 operated vehicles $100

per annum, and a scale upwards from those costs for larger-class vehicles by axle weight or wheel base. Even bicycle users (over age 16) could contribute by placing a operator license, similar to a vehicle operator license. The driver’s-licence centres could administer them. Tolls on all bridges and tunnels could then be shared by all road users and could be eliminated. I am sure the toll collections is a drain out of the tolls. All of the taxes could be added to the insurance annual renewals and collected by ICBC. Thus no more administrators would be needed in this venture. Both of these transit divisions should be administered by the provincial government, making someone accountable for monies received and spent. Lastly, the BC Ferries could also be run on duty-free fuel, thus reducing their cost in operating their routes. This could reverse the decision to cut the Bella Coola and surrounding areas of their rights to a ferry service. If the federal and provincial governments are as committed to transit as they maintain, they could embrace these ideas throughout Canada. Are we not considered to be an oil-rich country? Therefore, give a break to all transit from some of the oil revenue. Martin Cooper, Surrey

Goodbye 2013‌hello 2014!!! With the start of the new year comes new challenges and opportunities. There seems to be a real desire to increase ones health this year. I hear it from my customers on a daily basis. There are a number of ways to achieve a better sense of well being. One of the best ways to increase the amount of physical activities‌not just going to the gym but getting outside and going for a walk in nature. You will be surprised how invigorated you feel after some time spent with nature. Taking up a new activity like singing, dancing, painting or just about anything that makes you smile will not only improve your mood but fill your soul with happiness‌that can’t be a bad thing. One of the most profound things that will improve your health is your daily supplements. Unfortunately we are not getting everything we need from our foods and it shows in the lack of minerals that most of us are suffering from‌lack of magnesium is a worldwide problem according to the World Health Organization. Be sure your supplements are of the highest quality you can afford‌no point taking something that does not actually break down in your body‌look at the non-medical ingredients to determine the quality of your vitamins. The new year always inspires people to do a cleanse‌you would be surprised at what your body accumulates during the year with toxins from car exhausts, food additives, off-gasing from toxic products (if it smells bad it usually is bad for humans) just to name a few. Again look for quality products‌not all cleanses are created equal. Not all cleanses you find on the internet are actual cleanses‌there it so much more to cleanse than just the colon. There is also a huge demand for gluten free products these days‌the wheat we are eating today is not the same that our grandparents ate 50 years ago, we can’t digest the wheat of today. Yet again look for quality products, there is a lot of sugar added to gluten free products in the attempt to make them taste better‌there is some really great, healthy products out there you just need to know where to find them. At Country Sun Natural Foods we pride ourselves in high quality products (if we don’t carry a product there usually is a reason why) and knowledgeable staff. Come in today to see what we have to offer‌we also offer free nutritional advice. 1377 Johnston Rd.

Co-ordinating officer takes stand after five-week break

Surrey Six trial resumes Sheila Reynolds Black Press

During the 6½ years since six men were executed in a Surrey apartment building, there have been approximately 1,200 police investigators who have worked on the so-called Surrey Six case in some capacity. The figure was offered last week by RCMP Staff Sgt. David Teboul, who took the stand for the second time since the massmurder trial began in Vancouver late last September. Teboul said while that many officers may have “touched” the case from the outset, he estimated there were between 60 and 120 investigators involved at any one time. Teboul testified in October and was called back for crossexamination Thursday, which marked the resumption of the trial after a five-week break. Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston are on trial in B.C. Supreme Court, accused of six counts each of first-degree murder for the Oct. 19, 2007 deaths of Christopher Mohan, Edward Schellenberg, Ryan Bartolomeo, Edward Narong, and brothers Corey and Michael Lal. They also face one charge each of conspiracy to murder Corey Lal. Both have pleaded not guilty. Co-accused Michael Le pleaded

Killer named Laura Szendrei’s killer can now be identified, a Surrey Provincial Court judge ruled last week. Because Wyatt DeBrui, 21, was a a week shy of his 18th birthday – the media was banned from identifying him. Even after being sentenced as an adult last October, his name was protected. That changed Thursday, though his image still can’t be published. DeBruin attacked Szendrei, 15, near 110 Street and 82 Avenue in North Delta on Sept. 25, 2010, and was charged in February 2011. During trial, the court heard that DeBruin – having awoken with an urge to have sex – laid in wait at Mackie Park. He tried to subdue Szendrei by putting a looped zap strap around her neck, but she eluded him. He chased her and clubbed her with a pipe. Szendrei’s mother, Rachel, said after DeBruin’s sentencing it’s one of her greatest wishes that he be publicly identified. “I now want to see his name out there,” she said. – Kevin Diakiw

Felicity Dom courtroom sketch

Cody Haevescher and Matthew Johnston are on trial. guilty to conspiracy and was sentenced in December. Teboul was “file co-ordinator” – a role he described as a management position – for the Surrey Six investigation. At the time, he was working with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), where he’d taken a position in 2003. Teboul said that while IHIT takes charge of murder files throughout the Lower Mainland, Surrey is a “frequent flyer… a frequent customer.” The Surrey Six case was “by far” the largest case he’d ever worked on. Haevischer’s defence lawyer, Simon Buck, questioned Teboul about “holdback,” which the RCMP officer explained is evidence that’s deemed particularly specific or valuable because only investigators or perpetrators of a crime would know about it.

In the Surrey Six case, Teboul said, holdback information included the make and model of ammunition used, as well as which guns were used to kill which victims. There were six victims and the Crown contends two guns were used in the murders. Buck questioned Teboul about a police briefing the day after the murders, where an officer spoke about holdback information being leaked. Teboul said he had only a “vague recollection” of the discussion. Prior to lunch, Buck began to ask Teboul about another briefing Oct. 20 when investigators were told to “BOLF” a BMW. BOLF is an acronym for “be on the lookout for.” Earlier in the trial, a witness testified seeing a black BMW in the parkade of the Balmoral Tower where the murders took place. The Crown’s theory is that Corey Lal was dealing drugs in the area, which raised the ire of members of the Red Scorpions gang because it was on their turf. The Crown alleges Red Scorpions leader Jamie Bacon and Le ordered Haevischer, Johnston and another man (who can’t be named) to kill Corey Lal, and the five others were shot to eliminate any witnesses. The trial continues.

“It will never be changed. It’s a drug corner. I know personally and I spent years of my life down here,” she said. “People come to this corner to do drug deals and start fights.” They do not recognize a good deed being done, she noted. Marta’s experience, at least in part, proved Meyers’ point. She would approach individuals, asking “Did you need any

clothes?” Some responded that they could use a sweater or maybe a pair of gloves, but others seemed disinterested or unhappy with the selection. “I figured people would be a lot less picky, she said. “They would flock over and see what I had and ask for different colours. “I kind of wish that they would make more of an effort to not be homeless. Most were able-bodied individuals. The ones that are non-able bodied should participate in a positive hobby at the very least.” Myers and a few others, at least, expressed appreciation for the efforts, and Marta said that was all that mattered to her – the others were just kinks in her efforts to share kindness. After two hours of partial success, Marta donated her leftover clothing to the Safe Injection Site on East Hastings, a place that houses recovering addicts.

At the Public Hearing, all persons who deem their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions reflecting matters contained in the bylaw that is the subject of the Public Hearing. BYLAW 2045: “White Rock Zoning Bylaw, 2012, No. 2000, Amendment (CD-19 – 1550 Oxford Street) Bylaw, 2013, No. 2045” SUBJECT PROPERTY: 1550 Oxford Street (see site map below) PURPOSE: Bylaw No. 2045 proposes an amendment to “White Rock Zoning Bylaw, 2012, No. 2000” to allow for an eight (8) storey, 199 bed complex care facility with underground parking to be constructed on the existing Evergreen Baptist Campus of Care property. The Evergreen Baptist Care Society has been awarded a contract with the Fraser Health Authority to redevelop 107 currently funded beds in conjunction with adding 92 newly funded beds to the site. After completion of the project, Evergreen Baptist intends to demolish the current B Wing and C Wing buildings as these buildings are outdated and no longer meet the needs of residential care clients today. Further details regarding the proposed bylaw may be obtained from the City’s Planning and Development Services Department at City Hall. Should you have any comments or concerns you wish to convey to Council and you cannot attend the Public Hearing, please submit in writing to the City Clerk by 4:00 p.m., Monday, February 3, 2014.

Council shall not receive further submissions from the public or interested persons concerning the application after the Public Hearing has concluded. Site Map

A healthier you in 2014 W ith the holiday season now a distant memory, many people on the Semiahmoo Peninsula have probably been thinking about ways to make this year a healthier one, by incorporating some much-needed exercise into their routine. People of all ages benefit from exercise, and seniors are no exception. In fact, as we age, it becomes even more important that we take extra care of our bodies, and a safe amount of gentle exercise is essential to making sure our bodies are running in tip-top shape. Aside from simply feeling better, regular physical activity can also help improve mental capacity, as it increases blood flow to all parts of the body, including the brain, possibly promoting cell growth. Studies have also shown a correlation between exercise and prevention of such diseases as diabetes, colon cancer, heart disease, stroke and others. It’s no secret that your body releases endorphins during moderate physical exertion – this can help improve one’s mood, especially during the gloomy grey months of winter. And building up a little extra muscle tone and flexibility can help improve one’s balance, as well, which may prevent major injuries that are often incurred in falls. If you’re interested in taking the first step towards a more fit lifestyle, but not sure where to start, there are plenty of fitness options for all interests and experience levels around the Semiahmoo Peninsula. Drop by the South Surrey Recreation Centre (14601 20 Ave.), the White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.) or the Kent Street Activity Centre

(1475 Kent. St.) to find out about their many recreation programs designed for adults over the age of 55. Classes such as yoga, strength training, balance and many more are specially suited for older participants and taught be certified instructors. At the South Surrey Pool, Aquasize classes are a great, therapeutic option for those who may have joint or mobility issues. Group sports such as curling, lawn bowling, badminton or pickleball are not only a great way to get some exercise, but also a way to meet new friends in the community. And don’t forget to take full advantage when the sun comes out – the Semiahmoo Peninsula is home to some of the most beautiful parks, walking trails and beaches in the Lower Mainland, which make for the perfect place to enjoy a brisk stroll on a sunny day. Of course, if exercising is something you haven’t done in a while, you must take precautions not to injure yourself or overdo it. The following tips will help you to find an activity or program that is suited to your level of fitness that you can safely stick to for many weeks and months to come: • Seek medical advice: The first thing you should do, even before lacing up your first sneaker, is visit a doctor. Each individual is different, and a doctor will let you know what you, personally, should and should not be doing as you begin a new exercise regimen. In addition, a checkup could reveal problems you might not be aware of. • Recognize limitations: If you have not lifted a weight or run a step in 20 years, › see page 17

The Healing Power of Cold Laser Therapy Cold Laser Therapy (often also called Low Intensity Laser Therapy or Low Level Laser Therapy) is an innovative treatment for a variety of acute and chronic – often painful – conditions. Laser light transfers energy to interior cells • Stimulates natural healing • Restores normal cellular structure and function • Prevents future injury What you will experience: • Pain goes away • Reduced inflammation/swelling • Restored mobility Why Cold Laser? • Healing, not just masking of pain • Safe, drug free & no side effects • Avoid or delay the need for surgery • Accelerate and strengthen the body’s natural healing mechanisms The Concept Behind Cold Laser Therapy The healing power of light The concept of Cold Laser Therapy is actually quite simple. As humans, light plays a very important role in our existence. Similar to how plant cells require light for photosynthesis, our cells need light to power many of the normal processes that keep us healthy and happy. As long as we are exposed to enough regular sunlight, our skin absorbs the light we need and our cells can use it for many of their normal functions. If our cells are working normally, then our bodies are able to withstand different stresses from day to day activities and heal various ailments. Light therapy is not a new concept. It has been and continues to be used by doctors to treat a wide variety of conditions. For example, light has shown to be effective for treating many skin conditions including psoriasis and acne, depression and even tuberculosis before there were medications. Most people who suffer from arthritis can attest to the fact that their pain usually reduces or even completely subsides during the summer months or on a vacation to a sunny destination. Vitamin D, critical for keeping our bones healthy and strong, is created in our bodies by a process that requires sunlight. In places where there isn’t much sunlight available year round, people are usually encouraged to take vitamin D supplements during the darker months to help support their bones and prevent against bone-softening conditions such as rickets (in children) or osteoporosis. When we experience pain or inflammation from a problem or injury in an area of our body, the normal cellular processes slow down and our body has trouble healing as a result. Blood flow to these areas also gets interrupted, which restricts the ability of important nutrients to be delivered to the cells that need to heal. The science Scientific research conducted over the last few decades has shown that human cells heal better and faster when the right wavelengths of light energy get delivered to them. Cold Laser Therapy is a breakthrough solution for musculoskeletal pain because it shines a concentrated amount of only helpful wavelengths of light vital for healing (which are in the red and infrared parts of the spectrum) directly on targeted areas. This allows our bones, ligaments, and tissues deep inside our bodies to be exposed to the healthy light that otherwise cannot reach these areas. By delivering just the helpful parts of the light spectrum, the overall laser light power can be kept at very low and therefore very safe levels, which will not burn or otherwise harm the skin or any other tissues. How Does Cold Laser Therapy Work? Cold Laser Therapy delivers light based energy to cells, helping to accelSKIN (Epidermis) erate the body’s natural healing process at the cellular level. It targets SKIN (Dermis) Red Array injured cells, resulting in elimination and prevention of pain, reduction of FAT inflammation and swelling, and improved range of motion. Laser therapy Infrared Array does not just mask the pain, it actively stimulates healing to resolve musculoskeletal conditions for the long term. MUSCLE The Bioflex Cold Laser Therapy system is a three step process, each using Infrared a different wavelength of light which has been found to optimally stimuLaser late your body’s cells. The first step uses a red light pad at 660 nm, which gets absorbed by the cells of the skin and underlying superficial layers of BONE muscle. The second step uses an infrared light pad at 830 nm, reaching deeper into the muscle layers, as well as the tendons and ligaments. The third step includes an infrared laser wand at 840 nm that is placed specifically on the affected areas by a trained laser therapist. This light is very concentrated and targets the deepest affected structures, stimulating healing inside affected joints and even bone.

Cold Laser Therapy: Game Changer for Arthritis? Being in my late 50s, I’ve seen my fair share of “can’t miss” investment tips, over-hyped technologies and way too many promises of miracle cures for this or that ailment. So call me a skeptic. However every once in a while science and engineering produce a technology that is truly remarkable with a profound impact on some part of our life. Some of the technologies that our kids and grand-kids take for granted were not around when I grew up. Computers really changed things. And so did the Internet. There have been quite a few breakthroughs in health care. But most of the better known involve drugs or surgery. However as I found out a little while ago, there’s a remarkable new treatment option available for a variety of conditions that involves neither drugs nor surgery. Niels’ Story Early this year my wife Maria and I were having dinner with my friend and business partner Louba and her daughter Melanie, a bright young chiropractor who had been practising for a few years since obtaining her doctorate in chiropractic. At one point in the conversation she mentioned that there was a new technology based treatment called “Cold Laser Therapy”, which seemed Niels’ Mom to have rather dramatic results for a variety of conditions. She mentioned that it was really good for accelerating the healing process for muscle tears, tendonitis and also for post surgical healing. I had remembered listening to a sports talk show some years earlier where the host had mentioned truly stunning acceleration of healing and getting back to normal when laser therapy was used after hip surgery. That all sounded very interesting as a mental note, if I ever needed such a procedure. But when she mentioned Cold Laser Therapy had seen remarkable success in the treatment of arthritis, I asked “really?” I was rather skeptical, because my mom has been suffering from osteoarthritis in an increasingly bad way for many years. People familiar with the condition know all too well, there’s no known cure for the condition, just some ways of fighting the symptoms. Some of the medication my mom had tried provided decent temporary relief, but over the years she had to get off the best of those medications because of their strong side effects and later because they interacted dangerously with her heart medication. So she found herself between a rock and a hard place. Quitting the heart medication would probably kill her so she had to live with increasingly bad arthritis pain. To use just a simple example, her hands would hurt so much that she took to changing the bedsheets over 3 days. One day to change the pillowcases, another day to change the sheets and a 3rd day to change the duvet cover. Doctor Mel (that’s what everyone calls her) continued, “yes, this therapy has a remarkable success rate”. Being a health care provider she knows that nothing in health care is ever 100%, but anything that can really help 4 out of every 5 people is truly remarkable. So the next day I called my mom in Ontario on Skype (another fabulous invention) and told her about “Cold Laser Therapy” and asked her to find a clinic in her neighborhood, who provided such treatment. Over the years my mom had tried many different treatments for her arthritis, most didn’t work, or the side effects were too negative. She was naturally a little hesitant. But when I asked her to do this as a favour to me, I think her motherly instincts took over. After about 6 treatments over 3 weeks, she was very excited. “Look! I’ve got my hands back!” waving her hands to the computer camera, so I could see them. She showed me how much the range of motion in her hands had improved, how the swelling in the joints of her hand had gone down. Why am I telling this story? Because I can’t believe that Cold Laser Therapy isn’t better known and I think it really should be. And for some people its benefits can amount to a life changing event enabling them to return to improved mobility and eliminated or reduced pain. That dinner resulted in a partnership and a clinic providing Cold Laser Therapy, encouraged by my mom’s and others’ experiences plus other research. Sure, we’d love to be your cold laser therapy clinic of choice. But that’s not the most important point of my story. What’s most important is that this remarkable treatment exists and is truly worth learning about.

Safety first when getting fit › from page 15 you’re not going to be able to simply pick up where you left off. Recognizing your physical limitations is paramount to the success of your new program. For seniors, the point of exercise is not to become a pinup guy or girl, but to get healthy or maintain existing health. Set realistic goals and acknowledge what you can and cannot do. • Choose an enjoyable program: Choose an exercise program you know you will enjoy. An enjoyable program will encourage participation and increase the likelihood that you’ll stick with it. Whether it’s a daily walk with friends or a structured workout at the local gym with a trainer, the program you choose should be one you look forward to, and not one you see as a necessary evil. • Take it easy: Whenever a new program is started, be it by a teenager, professional athlete or senior citizen, the temptation to overdo it is omnipresent. However, flying out of the gates is a great way to get hurt, particularly if you do not yet know your physical limitations. Take it slow as you begin a workout, and make a daily journal of what you do at the beginning. That way, should you encounter any aches or pains, you can always look at the journal or share it with your physician or trainer to determine what might be the root of the problem. As you grow accustomed to physical activity, you can then make adjustments to your routine accordingly. • Don’t forget to stretch: Young or old, stretching is an integral part of any successful workout routine. For seniors,

Yoga is a great, gentle fitness option for those looking for ways to exercise more.

however, stretching becomes especially important, as you are more susceptible to injury than you were in your more youthful days. Stretching helps prevent muscle pulls and other injuries, and should be done both before and after a workout. • Stay hydrated: Even if you don’t feel like you’re working up a huge sweat, it’s important to replenish your hydration during and after any exercise. Signs of dehydration include fatigue, sudden light headedness, a spike in heart rate and muscle cramps.

Over the weekend, hundreds of Lower Mainland residents laced up their walking shoes to take part in the 2014 Investors Group Walk for Memories, to raise money for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. The annual event took place to wrap up Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, during which the Alzheimer’s Society launched a new campaign entitled ‘Early diagnosis keeps your life from unravelling.’ According to a 2009 study published in the Alzheimer Journal, as many as 50 per cent of Canadians with dementia are not diagnosed early enough, which results in loss of precious time when support can make a tremendous difference in their quality of life and avert unnecessary crises for their families. An earlier diagnosis can help open doors to important information, resources and support through the Alzheimer Society, which aims to help dementia patients remain independent and in their homes and communities longer. There are several warning signs to watch out for when it comes to Alzheimer’s and related dementias, and health officials recommend patients speak to their doctor if they’re concerned about any of the following: • Memory loss affecting day-to-day abilities • Difficulty performing familiar tasks • Problems with language • Disorientation in time and space • Impaired judgment • Problems with abstract thinking

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.

• Misplacing things • Changes in mood and behaviour • Changes in personality • Loss of initiative As the rate of British Columbians living with Alzheimer’s disease are set to double over the next 25 years, the Alzheimer Society encourages all residents to learn more about symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and support for themselves and for loved ones. “Seventy-four per cent of Canadians know someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia,” Maria Howard, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. said. “We want to equip British Columbians with the support, resources and education they need.” To find out more about the society’s early diagnosis campaign, visit www. earlydiagnosis.ca For more on the Alzheimer Society of B.C., including research, treatment options, support resources and volunteer opportunities, visit www.alzheimerbc. org or call 1-800-667-3742.

Top U13 boys basketball teams tip off in South Surrey Thursday

Southridge set for national hoops event Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Some of the top young basketball players from across the country will be arriving in South Surrey this week, as Southridge School gets set to host the 2014 U13 Canadian Accredited Independent Schools Boys Basketball Tournament.

The event runs Thursday to Saturday – at both Southridge and the Cloverdale Recreation Centre – and will feature the Southridge Storm’s Grade 6/7 boys hoops team, as well as 15 more from across Canada. The CAIS tourney has been around since 1993 – Southridge

hosted the event in 2007 – and is one of the biggest U13 sports events among independent schools. “It’s a real unique event for us, and it’s a big deal for the kids,” said Southridge athletic director James Porpaczy who, along with Kirby Gallant, is coaching the

school’s Grade 7 team as well as helping organize the event. “This is kind of the first year, in Grade 7, where there are tryouts for the teams, and cuts, and things like that. It’s a big learning experience for them, and this tournament is the same kind of thing.”

Last year’s tournament was held in Toronto, and though the Storm players will host, rather than travel, this year, Gallant said they’re all looking forward to it. “It’s the pinnacle of the year for these boys,” he said. Though most players are only in i see page 22

Team fourth in division

Eagles split road trip Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

After splitting a pair of road games on the weekend, the Surrey Eagles are still searching to secure the last playoff spot in the BC Hockey League’s Mainland Division. On Friday, the Eagles travelled to Trail, where they shut out the Smoke Eaters 3-0, but Saturday in Salmon Arm they saw their road-trip record fall to .500, after a valiant comeback fell just short in a 5-4 loss to the Silverbacks. After the 1-1 trip, the Eagles (19-26-1-1) sit where they have nearly the entire season – in fourth place in the Mainland Division, 11 points back of the Coquitlam Express, who were the latest team to clinch a post-season berth. The first-place Langley Rivermen and second-place Prince George Spruce Kings punched their ticket to the playoffs earlier this season. Though they haven’t officially clinched, it’s still likely the Birds will be post-season bound – they remain 14 points up on the last-place Chilliwack Chiefs, with 11 games to go in the regular season. Against Trail, Surrey scored two power-play markers, the first of which came off the stick of Brian Drapluk; the goal was the blue-liners’ first of the season. In the second period, the Eagles doubled the lead when Chase McMurphy finished off a passing play with the Smokies down a man, and Nathan Renouf – who scored the overtime winner in the Eagles’ last game before the road trip – added a third goal in the final frame. Devon Fordyce was between the pipes for

The Alberta native was especially strong early in the game, when Trail peppered him with 14 shots on goal. Fordyce got the start Saturday in Salmon Arm, as well, but neither he nor the team fared quite so well. The Silverbacks, who are fourth in the BCHL’s Interior Division with a 23-17-1-5 mark, jumped all over the visitors early, taking a 2-0 lead by the first intermission on goals from Jeff Kennedy and former Eagles forward Michael Roberts.

Just 2:13 into the second period, the ‘Backs made it 3-0 on a goal by Thomas Piese, but the three-goal cushion did not last long. Just 1:01 after Piese’s goal, Renouf scored his third goal in as many games, with his brother, Jonah Renouf, and Austin Ferguson picking up assists. Eight minutes later, Anthony Conti made it 3-2, and Jonah Renouf – who, like his brother, finished the game with a goal and two assists – tied the game before the second period was over. In the third, however, Salmon Arm restored

the lead on an unassisted goal from Taylor Maruya. The one-goal lead lasted about nine minutes, until Surrey’s Braeden Russell potted his 11th goal of the season. Maruya scored his second of the game just 16 second later, however, to give the home team the lead, which they held onto until the final buzzer. The Eagles are back on home ice this week, beginning tomorrow (Wednesday) when they host the Coquitlam Express at 7 p.m. On Friday, Chilliwack comes to South Surrey Arena for a 7 p.m. tilt, and Saturday, the two division rivals head to Chilliwack for a rematch.

South Surrey schools help Paul Hayes’ Haul 2 Play organization

Giving the gift of sports Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Paul Hayes is at it again – this time, with some help with his friends back home. Last month, the Earl Marriott Secondary grad – who now teaches at an English-language school in China – cycled from northern Laos to Hanoi, Vietnam over 15 days. Along the way, Hayes and his riding partner, Cyril Indome, handed out sports equipment to children in impoverished villages. “These kids have such great energy and it’s unbelievable that we can provide them with something so simple that brings them so much joy,” Hayes said. It’s not the first such trip for Hayes, who has lived in Asia for more than three years. In 2012, the South Surrey native – who admits he has “kind of an adventurous spirit” – made a 4,200-km cycling trek through China, where they also handed out sports gear as part of Hayes’ We Haul 2 Play nonprofit organization. This time around, both he and Indome cycled more than 1,200 km while towing trailers full of volleyball, soccer and Takraw balls – the latter being part of a traditional Malaysian game played by many who live in the

Paul Hayes mingles with youngsters during his first ride through China in 2012. countryside. The gear was supplied by a Laos business whose owner Hayes said “really believes in our message… and was so thrilled we were helping out her country.” For this trip, Hayes also received donations from close to home – a Grade 5/6 class at South Meridian Elementary and a Grade 2 class at Diamond Head Elementary each raised money for Hayes’ Haul 2 Play cause. In total, the two classes donated nearly $700.

“My friends (on the Peninsula) had been seeing my photos by social media, and people have been coming forward to ask how they can get involved,” Hayes explained. During their two-week journey, Hayes said they met hundreds of villagers, many of whom serenaded them with songs and cheers as they rode through. “It was great to be able to hand out equipment during the (Christmas season),” Hayes said. “We even had kids singing Christmas carols as we (rode through).” As was the case on his earlier cycling treks, the trip wasn’t without a few off-putting moments. For starters, the terrain was often hilly and steep – which one Russian man they encountered summed up by saying “Today, many problem for you.” Elsewhere, they would sometimes ride at night, and with no shelter planned at their destination. In nearly every village, however, a family would take them in. “We put our faith in people and they didn’t let us down,” Hayes said. “We are blessed to have met such great people along the way.”

ST. JUDE… O Holy St. Jude, apostle and martyr, great in virtue, near Kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need. To you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and how I beg you to whom God has given such great power, to come to my assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. (State Favour.) In return I promise to make your name to be invoked. Say three Our Father’s, and three Hail Mary’s and three Glory Be’s. St Jude pray for us and for all who invoke your aid. Say for nine days – Publication must be promised. This Novena has never been known to fail. SM

BAXFIELD, Janet (nee Whipp) With great sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Janet Baxfield (nee Whipp) on January 20, 2014, after a courageous battle with cancer. Janet was born in England on August 14, 1937; to Mabel Clara Whipp. She immigrated to Vancouver, Canada with her husband and love of her life, Joe; there she raised her three children, who joyfully cherish her memory. Janet was a wonderful wife, fully supporting and loving, as she was as a mother, obviously proud of her children and grandchildren. Keeping her memory alive, husband Joe; three children, Claire (Bert) Finnamore, Joseph (Lanie) Baxfield, and Louise Baxfield;

Jeanette May Hultman Was born on October 13th, 1967 in Vernon, B.C. and was called Home to be with her Lord on January 13th, 2014, where she joined her parents, Ivo Vernon Hultman and Bernice Anne Hultman. She left us suddenly, but peacefully, at the Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock, B.C. at the age of 46 years. Jeanette will be lovingly remembered by one sister, Mardelle Ho (Steve, children Michah, Kemily and Brennan); three brothers, Marvin Roy Hultman, Dawson Ray Hultman (Julia, daughters Allie and Bailey) and Daniel Alfred Hultman, as well as Rob and Grace Schock her caregivers since Feb 2012. Jeanette was a very special soul that touched the lives of everyone she met and knew, in such a unique and special way. She will be loved and cherished until we see her again.

grandchildren Jeffrey, Jill, Mitchell, Mackenzie, Christopher and

Janet; sisters Mary Rancans and Anne Padial; brothers Alan and John Whipp; and nine dearly loved nieces and nephews. Family and friends are invited to Janet’s Celebration of Life. For details go to www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca Donations in Janet’s memory can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation or the Peace Arch Hospital Community Foundation.

WITH YOUR CITY?

In order to be considered, applicants must attend and receive a certificate of attendance from the Information Meeting that will be held in the Council Chamber on Thursday, February 13, 2014 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the current City Hall at 14245-56 Avenue. This meeting is jointly sponsored by ICBC, the RCMP and the City of Surrey. Pre-registration is not necessary.

We are currently seeking applications to volunteer on the Surrey Board of Variance

Applications will be considered from bona fide non-profit community clubs, groups, associations or societies who sponsor a recognized annual or regular civic event and who use the profits from the beer garden to either improve public facilities, or donate to a recognized charity.

The City of Surrey is currently seeking applications to fill one seat on the Surrey Board of Variance. The Board of Variance is an independent body that reviews requests for minor variances to the Zoning By-Law regarding siting, size and dimensions of buildings where compliance would cause an undue hardship.

Permits will be issued within the guidelines of current legislation, and the number and location of beer gardens in each designated community will be limited. The designated communities in Surrey are:

The five member Board of Variance meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month (except August), with occasional special meetings being held when required. Meetings start at 9 a.m. and are held at City Hall.

1. Whalley 2. Guildford 3. Newton 4. Fleetwood 5. Cloverdale 6. South Surrey Appointees will have an opportunity for community involvement, local government input and facilitate decision making.

Application forms are available from Legislative Services, Office of the City Clerk, City of Surrey, 14245-56 Avenue, Surrey, BC and/or on the City Website (www.surrey.ca). For further information, please contact 604-591-4132.

INFORMATION AND APPLICATION Visit www.surrey.ca or contact the City Clerk at 604-591-4132 for full details and amount of time commitment required. Applications including a brief resume must be submitted by Wednesday, January 29, 2014 to: City Clerk, Legislative Services City of Surrey 14245 – 56 Avenue, Surrey, B.C. V3X 3A2 Email: clerks@surrey.ca; Fax Number: 604-591-8731 Applications/resumes will be made available to City of Surrey Council and staff.
