brothers had perished in the war. Jean was engaged to be married when she discovered she was pregnant. Her fiance, whom she later learned had a wife and children at the time they were together, gave her two choices – abort the baby or no wedding. With strong religious convictions, abortion was not an option for Jean. Single motherhood was not a viable alternative in those days, so that left adoption. Jean moved away to Calgary, Alta., where she stayed with a friend’s mother until the baby was born. She gave birth to a boy on Oct. 22, 1947. Common practice at that time, when a unwed woman was

Instead, Jean was mistakenly handed her bundled up baby, whom she instantly unwrapped to see if he was OK. Her heart ached as she held him over the next few hours, pushing aside thoughts of keeping him. She had no money, no job and nowhere to go. When she was given the opportunity to name him, she chose Donald for the boy’s father, Robert for poet Robby Burns, and McLeod for her family name.

An Abbotsford couple has been charged following two distraction thefts in Mission. Donald Quinnell, 47, and Krisztina Krakoszki, 21, are also suspects in a series of similar incidents targeting elderly victims throughout the Fraser Valley over the last year, including in Abbotsford. The two have both been charged with theft under $5,000 and have been released from custody on several bail conditions. Mission RCMP arrested the pair on June 11 after receiving a call just before 5 p.m. from a local resident who said his 72-year-old mother had been approached at her home by a man and a woman with a baby. The couple said they needed water for their broken-down vehicle. The woman was aware of the scam, reported in the media, which involves the thieves stealing valuables – a purse or a wallet – while the victim is

distracted with the task. The woman watched the couple closely and did not give them an opportunity to steal any items. She saw the couple leave in a newer model silver Dodge Caravan. About an hour later, the Mounties received a similar report from a 73-year-old Deroche resident. In that case, the man’s 83-year-old wife had her purse stolen. Less than 10 minutes later, police stopped a vehicle matching the description in the area of Horne Street and Lougheed Highway in Mission. A man and a woman were arrested, and the Ministry of Children and Families was contacted regarding a one-year-old child who was in the vehicle. Police recovered several stolen items in the van, including identification from the victim in Deroche. The van was traced back to a local auto dealer, and police discovered that the pair had pretended to be interested in buying the van and had taken it on a test drive.

Wilson agreed, saying the pay does not attract trustees to the job. “I can assure you that no one does it for the money,� she said. “We do it because it’s a role in our community and we feel very indebted to our community to do this role.�

Police crackdown on drug dealing at homeless camps Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News

Abbosford Police say they are cracking down on drug dealing at homeless camps along Gladys Avenue. In the last four to six weeks, Const. Ian MacDonald said police have received an increasing number of reports of drug transactions in the area. On Wednesday, they arrested a 29-yearold woman after executing a search warrant at a residence in the 1900 block of Powell Crescent – located south of

Marshall Road between McKenzie Road and Dahl Crescent. MacDonald said police found almost 45 grams of crack cocaine, 15 grams of heroin, and 10 grams of methamphetamine in the home, as well as $6,000 cash. MacDonald said the woman arrested is “extensively known” to police and is believed to have been selling drugs at the homeless camps, as well as supplying other dealers. She was slated to appear in court yesterday on charges of possession for the

purpose of trafficking and breaching her conditions. She cannot be named until charges are formally laid. “This will be part of a continued and concerted effort on our part. We need to keep people safe,” MacDonald said of the arrest. There are two main homeless camps that have been expanding on Gladys Avenue. One is located near Essendene Avenue in the downtown core, and the other is east of that location, across from the Salvation Army.

A crane hoists a CF-101 Voodoo aircraft onto a flatbed truck last weekend as the former Canadian Forces fighter interceptor was moved from its old location in front of the former Abbotsford Airshow Society’s building on Mt. Lehman Road to its new prominent site at the Abbotsford International Airport entrance.

Voodoo moved to terminal entrance Relocation required a 200-tonne capacity crane and six hours Jason ROESSLE Abbotsford News

The iconic CF-101 Voodoo military jet that has greeted visitors to Abbotsford International Airport since 1992 has been relocated to its new resting place at the main entrance to the terminal. The challenging move took place last Saturday. A 200-tonnecapacity crane from Eaglewest was used to hoist the jet from its previous location – in front of the former Abbotsford Airshow Society’s brick building on Mt. Lehman Road and Approach Drive – over a light pole and a flagpole, and then onto a flatbed truck. The width of the trailer needed to be extended with I-beams and steel plates to accommodate the wide landing gear of the Voodoo. The relocation was part of the ongoing terminal renovations and upgrades occurring at the airport.

Jim Reith, president of the Abbotsford Airshow Society, and Brodie Templeton, a member of the airshow society and the Abbotsford Flying club, were both Royal Canadian Air Force aircrew members who flew the Voodoo in service in the 1970s when it was a front-line fighter-interceptor as part of the North American air defence system. Templeton flew in this particular plane (035) a number of times. “We are very happy to see the Voodoo in its new place of honour,” said Reith. “It took over six hours to move the aircraft, but the move went flawlessly, thanks to the crew and staff at the airport.” The 035 Voodoo was first moved to the airport in 1992, having been in Winnipeg after being retired from active service. In 2005, the Canadian Air Force gave the aircraft to the society.

QUESTION

WebTalk

OF THE WEEK Do you support the federal government’s approval of the Northern Gateway Pipeline project?

Farm’s milk dumped We need to make farms accountable for the treatment of farm animals. The Chiliwack dairy farm and all farm factories need to ensure humane treatment of their animals is enforced. I am not sure why the milk would be dumped because the animals that gave that milk have already suffered at the hands of this farm. Lorna Young

To answer, go to abbynews.com

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Wrong move. Find another way to wield your power, but don’t waste milk when low-income people cannot afford to buy milk for their families, and the same goes for single people and seniors. Maryann Pitts-Madore

Should the wearing of helmets by skateboarders and longboarders be required by provincial law?

So sorry it “hurts” you, Mr. Wiebe, to see the milk dumped, but some of us are still having a hard time sleeping after hearing and seeing what the cows went through. No comparison, I’m afraid. The Kooymans should think about selling some or all of their stock to the farms that treat their animals with respect. Cathie Anne Perry

Denials and smiles for 55-plus Andrew

Holota

On Point Forget about the Golden Years. That’s old hat. (Pun intended, forgive me.) Now the age-bracket buzzword is “55-plus.” I’m not sure how that specific point in life suddenly became socially important and prominent, although I strongly suspect it germinated in the brain of a marketing genius somewhere in North America, and then spread like new marketing ideas are wont to do. There are condo developments for 55plus buyers, 55-plus hotel packages, and 55-plus activity groups. Recently, I went past a community light board the other day and saw an ad for “over-55 tours…” I thought… what is an over-55 tour? Do you board a special bus which tours past captive herds of people who are over 55 and you ogle them like the water buffa-

loes at the zoo? Oh look, there’s one filling out tax forms! Why is it crying? OK, probably you have to be over 55 to go on such a tour. But why? What happens that someone who is, for instance, 52, not allowed to see or know? Personal consultation on the inappropriateness of wearing spandex bicycle shorts over the magic age of 55? Who wants to hear that? Maybe it’s special summarized screenings of all the TV shows that are on after 10 p.m., which is now your beddy-bye time. Is 55 the point where you can no longer communicate effectively with anyone younger? Like, did you see that new WhoTube video on the IntraWeb? Pffft... I can speak digitalese. I’m not sure I’d want to surround myself with just people who are over 55. I mean, isn’t that kind of age-elitist in our all-inclusive society?

Hi, I’m 56. Wink-wink, nudge-nudge. I know you know what I know. Know what I mean? Raise one eyebrow, give knowing look. Really, if I had to choose, I’d rather be around people who are under 20. I still know more than they do. Or at least, I can think I do. Maybe people who are 55-plus get together to commiserate over the fact that at one time in our lives, about 10 or 15 years ago, we were thinking about Freedom 55 – when we would retire and travel and frolic in the sun, before our hips and knees needed replacing. Where have all the Freedom 55 people gone? I’ll tell you where they are. They’re on stress leave! Retirement at 55? It’s become a cruel joke. First the tech stock bubble burst in the early 2000s. For those of us who were smugly still standing after that retirement fund disaster, along came circa 2008.

I’d rather be round people who are under 20. I still know more than they do.

Blue chip stocks? Hah! Gotcha anyway, smart guy! For a good portion of the 55-plus crowd, holding onto the concept of Retirement 65 is like believing one’s six-pack is coming back. Maybe that’s another reason us 55-plussers are supposed to hang around together – or at least the guys. We can wear our polo shirts outside our pants, and no one questions it or makes snarky comments about muffin tops. Personally, I find all this concentration on being 55-plus rather disconcerting, if not downright anxiety-inducing. I’d rather not dwell on it or be regularly reminded by selective association. In fact, I’ve not really thought much about being beyond the age of 55 since that actually happened, which was a perfectly good point to go into denial. If you start thinking too much about 55, then suddenly one day you’ll wake up and find that you are. And you’ll start paying attention to all the marketing promotions, and then you’ll actually start acting like you’re 55 ... or plus. My advice? Don’t act your age. Go find your spandex bicycle shorts.

Abbotsford News Friday, June 20, 2014

Time to start putting money back into public education I am so appreciative of parents like (letterwriters) Timi McIntosh and Thea Levesque who understand the challenges their children face in today’s public school. As a teacher, a parent and a grandparent myself, I find myself in a no-win situation. In order to fight for my students’ right to a quality education, both now and in years to come, I have to walk a picket line instead of teach them. There is no question that the current strike is stressful for teachers, students and their parents. I want to be in my classroom, finishing off the year and sending my students into their summer holidays on a high note. But the results of this strike have important implications. It may determine what services, if any, will be available in the future to support special needs students, struggling students, students with speech and language challenges, or students who are dealing with emotional stresses.

Thanks for return of bicycle

What do we, as a society, believe about education? Is it an essential factor in building a strong democracy? I believe it is. Education is the great equalizer. Our system serves the wealthy, the middle-class and the economically struggling. But whereas children from wealthy and middle-class homes have parents who can pay for extra services as these services disappear from our public schools, children from struggling families don’t. If a quality education is a democratic right, it also has to be a priority. And it needs to be public, not private education, in order to serve the needs of every child. Over the past decade, a great deal of money has been siphoned out of public education funding. It’s time to start putting it back, and make the educating of future British Columbians a greater priority than giving tax breaks to corporations. Lynn Lang, Abbotsford

I would like to express my sincere thanks to the bicycle police and the decent people at the teepee on Gladys Avenue for helping me get my stolen bike returned. It is my only mode of transportation and was a special gift. Contrary to some articles in the

paper, we found the people at the teepee friendly, approachable, courteous, respectful and helpful. Thanks for polishing my bike and being so helpful in returning it. S. King Abbotsford

letters Hard to sympathize Teachers, do you realize what the strike is costing you? By frustrating your students and causing so much stress at such a critical time of the year as final exams, you are losing the love and respect of the students and their parents. Anyone who has gone through hard times realizes that sometimes you can’t afford everything you want. The economy is tying the hands of the government right now. Not only is every union demanding more, but so are all the pensioners, the seniors, and the parents. And taxes keep going up, so they can’t keep giving more. As a result, it’s hard to sympathize with the teachers, who already work the least hours per day, the days per year, and have security and lifelong pensions, health benefits and life insurance, and still demand fewer hours, fewer students and higher wages, or they strike. Remember, the lessons you deliver may be very wise and true, but they will get their lessons by observing what you do. Justine Warkentin Abbotsford

BC Nature plans lawsuit challenge to pipeline Jason ROESSLE Abbotsford News

The Abbotsford-Mission Nature Club supports its parent organization’s plan to file a lawsuit challenging the federal cabinet’s decision to approve the Northern Gateway project. The 40-member club’s mandate is to “know nature and keep it worth knowing,” said Abbotsford member John Vissers. “Clearly, this application is going against everything we hold dear.” The planned lawsuit will ask the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA) to set aside the cabinet decision for several reasons, including “serious deficiencies and flaws in the Dec. 19, 2013 Joint Review Panel (JRP) report upon which the cabinet decision is based,” according to a release from BC Nature. The approval decision accepts all of the JRP’s recommendations and findings, and will allow the project to proceed subject to the B.C. government granting the project the necessary provincial permits and other approvals. According to BC Nature, the reasons for the cabinet decision did not address any of the deficiencies or flaws that BC Nature identified in its challenge to the JRP report filed in January, which is currently pending before the FCA. A key argument in BC Nature’s new lawsuit will

be that the JRP report was lacking in detail and analysis, thereby depriving cabinet of the factual and legal basis for making an informed decision. The lawsuit must be filed within 15 days. The province has said the project doesn’t yet meet Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines, which include worldleading marine and land-spill protections, resolution of aboriginal concerns and a fair share of benefits for B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak has indicated the province could refuse permits for the project’s construction in B.C. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has emphasized it is in the national interest to open a new pipeline route to the Pacific Ocean to carry Alberta oil sands bitumen, and break the Canadian oil industry’s dependence on U.S. markets. The decision by the Harper cabinet follows last December’s ruling by a federal review panel that the $6.8-billion project should proceed, subject to 209 conditions. That followed Enbridge’s earlier pledges to improve the project’s safety with thicker steel and other measures along the 1,177-kilometre route. The twin pipelines would carry 525,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands west to Kitimat and send condensate to act as a thinning agent east to Alberta. – with Black Press files

much time as the two of them.” Winnie is a 10-yearold Newfoundland, not the breed one would typically associate with care home visitation. But accord-

ing to Hamming, it is the perfect breed to interact with seniors because of its calm and docile nature. “Newfies are pretty laid back. If they keep getting petted they

will stay (for a long time),” he said. Hamming started visiting seniors with his first Newfoundland dog back in 2001. Winnie, his third therapy dog,

came on board when she was just a pup and it didn’t take long before she was a favourite at the care homes. Because she’s so big, she would just put her head right in the lap of residents in wheelchairs, said Karla Stowards, recreational manager with Maplewood Seniors Care Society. “Some folks don’t interact much, but when Winnie would come they would brighten up. It’s a different way of connecting,” she said. “She was able to reach out to them and she’d go right up to people she knew. For many, she reminds them of their childhood and the pets they had.” At 81 and 10 respectively, Hamming and Winnie are stepping back from their volunteer work with the SJA Therapy Dog Program, but they continue to visit at The Cottage extended care facility every Monday. Hamming sees the positive impact his dog has on the residents there, like Helen, who is confined to her bed and looks forward to her weekly visits from Winnie. “She puts her hand out and the dog runs up to her,” said Hamming. “It brightens up her day; otherwise I wouldn’t do it.” Now on a slower schedule, Hamming said he and Winnie will keep visiting seniors as long as he can. “I love it and the people love it.” For more information on the SJA Dog Therapy Program, visit www.sja.ca/bc or call 604-853-8700.

MADD Canada has announced Danielle Edwards as its new volunteer community leader in Abbotsford. Edwards is part of a nation-wide network of volunteers who represent MADD Canada and deliver its message and programs to local communities. She served as the Victoria community leader for a year and a half. Now residing in Abbotsford, Edwards will focus much of her initial efforts around public awareness, education initiatives, and building partnerships with stakeholder and community organizations with similar goals of ending impaired driving. About 1,350 and 1,600 Canadians are killed and more than 68,500 are injured each year as a result of impaired driving crashes. “I want to be part of the solution and I am confident that Abbotsford will be supportive of the effort to stop these senseless tragedies from occurring on our roads and in our community,” she said.

proved by city council. One acre is proposed for the village’s first phase of development. Of that space, the edible forest will take up an area about 25 feet wide by 250 feet long. Volunteers will plant the first quarter of the food forest on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The remainder of the planting will be done in the fall. The Va l l ey Permaculture Guild has partnered with the Dignitarian Society. Volunteers who wish to help with the planting are asked to bring shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, gloves, plants if they have extras to share, and food to share for lunch. The site is located past the railroad tracks at the large white gate on the north side of Valley Road. The parking lot is inside the gate to the right. Participants are asked to follow the red tape to the planting area and check in at the volunteer tent. For more information, visit abbotsfordhomeless.com or “Abbotsford Dignitarian Society” on Facebook.

He did volunteer with sports teams, earning the nickname “Water Boy.” Friends and family encouraged him to give athletics a try but he was always hesitant. “I wasn’t quite sure but my dad took me to have a look and I decided to sign up for floor hockey,” he says. “When the coaches saw me play, they were quite impressed.” Floor hockey was the first Special Olympics sports in which he competed. He’s continued to add sports as his interest grew. Michael was part of the first Abbotsford curling team to make it to the nationals. Michael credits the coaches of his various teams for his success, adding that they encourage him to try new things like playing goalie on his soccer team. He is looking forward to competing in track and field at the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Vancouver, July 8-12. Sport has been a positive influence in his life and encourages anyone to get involved. “Join a team or be a volunteer and help out that way, they’re always looking for help,” he says.

Youth orchestra to perform on Parliament Hill

Abbotsford Youth Orchestra’s tour ensemble, along with the British Columbia Boys Choir, will perform “O Canada” and “God Save the Queen” on Parliament Hill for the Canada Day 2014 noon show. “The students were very excited when I was finally able to tell them,” said director Calvin Dyck. The lineup for the televised show had been under wraps until this week, when the official announcement was made about the entertainment for the ceremonies in Ottawa. Performers include Brett Kissel, Marianas Trench, Nadja, Serena Ryder, Terry Kelly and Véronic DiCaire, as well as a demonstration by the Canadian Snowbirds. The youth orchestra will be touring across Canada with the B.C. Boys Choir performing their show “O Canada Our Home – Songs and Stories of Canada.” They will perform in all 10 provinces this July, starting with three concerts in B.C. The Abbotsford show is on Saturday, June 21 at 7 p.m. at South Abbotsford Church, 32424 Huntingdon Rd. Tickets are still available at House of James, King’s Music or at the door.

Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News

A couple of weeks ago, Jake Virtanen was backstage at Abbotsford’s Sevenoaks Alliance Church, waiting to accept his diploma during the Yale Secondary convocation ceremony. Students were lined up in alphabetical order, which was how Jake found himself alongside his cousin J.J. with plenty of time to kill. It occurred to J.J. that Jake should treat the walk across the stage as practice – on June 27, he’ll make a similar stroll at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, when a National Hockey League team calls his name in the first round of the 2014 entry draft. It’ll be a short walk, but it’s been a long journey. * * * So how does a youngster emerge from the cast of thousands who register for minor hockey each year in Canada, to the brink of NHL employment? In Virtanen’s case, it’s tempting to simply chalk it all up to natural talent. The 17-year-old is arguably the most physically gifted prospect in the draft: a swift-skating, hard-shooting, bull-in-achina-shop winger who racked up 45 goals and 26 assists for 71 points in 71 regular season games with the Western Hockey League’s Calgary Hitmen this past sea-

DAN KINVIG Abbotsford News

Jake Virtanen has suited up for the WHL’s Calgary Hitmen and the Canadian U18 team this year. Next Friday, he’ll pull on an NHL team’s jersey, as he’s expected to be a first-round selection in the 2014 entry draft. son, along with a +23 rating and 100 penalty minutes. He was similarly outstanding for Team Canada at the U18 World Championships in Finland in April, leading the team in scoring (three goals and three assists in seven games) en route to a bronze medal. The 6’1”, 210-pounder earned the highest overall grade during on-ice testing at the Canadian major junior top prospects game in January, registering the top times in both the forwardand backward-skating sprints. And his shooting ability was said to be NHL-calibre three years ago, when the Hitmen made him the first overall pick in the WHL bantam draft.

But the first time Brad Bowen saw Virtanen on the ice, he didn’t see a prodigy. His initial impression was, in fact, more along the lines of aggravation than admiration. Jake and J.J. were enrolled in Bowen’s learnto-skate program at the Langley Sportsplex, and as four-year-old buddies do, they spent a good amount of time horsing around. “I had to put him in timeouts quite a bit on the ice,” Bowen recalled with a chuckle. “He was a typical four-year-old.” Though his attention was initially difficult to harness, young Jake had a rare ability to endure the more mundane elements of hockey training. Namely, power skat-

ing – the development of proper technique in terms of stride and posture, achieved through painstaking repetition. “It’s something with a lot of kids where they have to have a puck on their stick . . . to be interested,” Bowen said. “But he knew the importance of skating, from the time he was literally four years old.” Jake’s dad Rainer attributes his son’s passion for practice to his natural tendencies to seek out both competition and social interaction. “In power skating groups, they always start off in long lines of 20 or 30 kids,” he recalled. “Because Jake was always the youngest, he would start at the back, Continued on A34

Abby teams shine at fastpitch districts

The Abbotsford Minor Fastball Association hosted the District 8 girls playdowns at Exhibition Park last weekend, and local teams showed well. Three teams punched their ticket to provincials – the U14 B, U19 C and squirt B squads. A d d i t i o n a l l y, Abbotsford’s U18 B team is also bound for provincials by virtue of the fact they’re hosting the B.C. tourney in their division, to be held July 4-6. The squirt B team clinched their bracket with a 12-1 win over the undefeated Langley Extreme ’02, thanks in part to a strong pitching performance from Alicia Newman with Caitlyn Klassen behind the plate. Brooke Dejonge was solid at second base and very hot with her bat all weekend.

Schmidt scores in loss to Germany With a crowd of friends and family in attendance, Sophie Schmidt scored for Team Canada in an international women's soccer friendly vs. Germany on Wednesday at BC Place in Vancouver. The Abbotsford midfielder's goal came in the 54th minute, when she chipped a high-arcing shot over German keeper Nadine Angerer off a feed from Diana Matheson. FIFA No. 2-ranked Germany prevailed by a 2-1 count o v e r No. 7 Canada, though, thanks to goals by Lena SCHMIDT Lotzen (29th minute) and Simone Laudehr (65th). "I'd like to say I perfectly planned that, placed it beautifully," Schmidt told reporters with a chuckle, reflecting on her goal. "But that probably is not the truth. I'm just happy it went in. "We played well, minus some breakdowns that led them to some breakaways. But I thought we executed what we wanted to well." Schmidt and her Team Canada mates now return to their club teams, reconvening for friendlies against Japan Oct. 25 in Edmonton and Oct. 28 in Vancouver.

and later at the W.A. Fraser Middle and Yale Secondary hockey academies, of which Bowen is the director of hockey. Rainer and mom Brigitte didn’t push Jake toward that year-round commitment – rather, their role was reining him in as he pursued his passion for hockey along with other sports. “People always said to us, ‘Is he going to burn out?’” Rainer said. “And we’d always say we’re not putting him in (activities) – he’s asking. “He had rugby, lacrosse, inline hockey and hockey, and we always said, ‘You can’t do them all. You’ve got to be committed to everything you do.’” Jake also benefitted from following in the footsteps of brother Stefan, a defenceman four years his senior. Stefan is a solid player in his own right – he played four seasons of junior A hockey and won the 2014 B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League title with Selkirk College. * * * Troy Campbell remembers vividly the first time he saw Virtanen play, back in 2009. Campbell was head coach of the Abbotsford Hawks Tier 1 bantam team, and Virtanen was a first-year player in the 14-15 age group. “He got my attention real quick,” Campbell recalled with a chuckle. “He scored four goals (in the first intrasquad game), and they were very good ones. “And I’ve seen many, many highlight-reel goals from Jake since then. He’s just a pure goal-scorer, and they’re very hard to find.” Virtanen was one of eight first-year bantam players Campbell took on a rebuilding Hawks squad in 2009-10, and the following season, Virtanen led the team to the B.C. provincial final, piling up 70 goals and 49 assists for 119

points in 62 games along the way. That prompted the Hitmen to nab him first overall in the bantam draft – the first Abbotsford player to achieve that distinction. He’ll almost certainly make more local history next week as the highest NHL-drafted player from Abby. That designation currently belongs to Michael Funk, a defenceman who was taken in the second round (43rd overall) by the Buffalo Sabres in 2004. Virtanen, ranked sixth among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting, will surely be a first-round pick, potentially top-10, with buzz that he could go as high as No. 6 – a pick owned by the Vancouver Canucks. “That would be amazing for me, growing up a Canuck fan,” said Virtanen, who wore No. 19 in minor hockey in honour of Markus Naslund. “It would be a dream come true. “But I think it would be an honour to be drafted by any team. Time will tell in a couple of days.” The Virtanens are heading to Philadelphia on Tuesday, where Jake has follow-up meetings scheduled with the Florida Panthers (who own the first overall pick and are open to trading down) and the Toronto Maple Leafs (who pick eighth). He interviewed with both of those teams, and 22 others, at the NHL combine in Toronto in late May. Virtanen didn’t work out at the combine – he underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder on May 15, and it will be four to six months until he’s game-ready. That figures to hamper his ability to participate in an NHL training camp in September, but he’ll be available for selection for Canada’s World Junior Championship team later in the year, Continued on A36

Surgery recovery ahead of schedule From A34

and he doesn’t think the procedure will impact his draft stock to a huge degree. He’s ahead of schedule in his recovery – at this point post-surgery, most people can’t raise their arm higher than their shoulder, but Virtanen has much of his range of motion back already. His physiotherapist, he said, has called him a natural healer. Bowen, a former New York Islanders scout who currently serves a similar role for the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks, pegs Virtanen as a low-risk, highreward prospect. “Why he’ll get drafted high is, as an NHL scout, I can project him to be a top-six forward,” Bowen explained. “The good thing about it is, if he fails as a top-six forward, he can easily play on a team’s

third or fourth line because of his size and skating ability. . . . So your draft is not a bust. “His key is going to be whether or not he continues to work hard through (age) 18 to 21. Which, knowing the family and knowing the kid, I can’t see him not doing that.” * * * Virtanen is about as levelheaded as one VIRTANEN could hope to be heading into the draft. Responding to the chief criticism of his game – that his hockey sense doesn’t measure up to his physical gifts – he says he made huge strides in terms of his play without the puck this past season, and that “there’s always room to

And looking ahead to signing his first contract, the only thing he’s thinking about buying is a truck, probably a Ford F-150. His parents, emphasizing fiscal responsibility, have encouraged him to look at a used model, and to that end he’s been scouring Craigslist. “I’m simple – I don’t want anything too flashy,” he said, adding that it hasn’t completely sunk in that the draft is just a week away. “I feel like I’m just waking up like a normal kid every day. It’s weird. I’m just trying to soak it in.”

Back

Abbotsford was once home to a Russian Orthodox Church from 1934-1975. Originally on the corner of Marshall and Ware, this church accommodated the Russian Orthodox population in the community that did not want to make the long trip to Vancouver every Sunday. Sts Peter and Paul Chapel was dedicated December 31, 1934 by Friar Alexander Kizyun. It was also the base for the Brotherhood Society, which managed the church until 1965. The land, 40 x 30 feet, was donated by Konstantin Trofimovich Pichugin, who was also a very active member in the Brotherhood Society.

Concert in the Park Series performer, Kristal Barrett Abbotsford’s very own country star, Kristal Barrett, known for hits like Girl in a Car, with accompanying music video and local performances, is making a comeback to the music scene with the Envision Coffee House Concert Series and Envision Concert in the Park Series. The series showcases local artists by providing an opportunity to perform in a casual setting. Barrett, who is no stranger to the stage, has received plenty of awards during her career, including Media Idol for B.C., numerous B.C. Country Music Awards nominations, and radio airplay across Canada. However, following the birth of her daughter, she chose to put her momentum on hold to focus on motherhood. Now, Barrett is back with a new direction, and is using her voice to have an impact in the industry and the community. “It feels really good to sing again,” she says. “I’m approaching my career differently. It’s a hobby and a passion,

so I have no expectations. I’m having fun and if I’m able to buy some diapers because of it, then that’s great!” She is now focusing on a balance between being a mother and musician, and her music reflects that harmony.

Barrett performs at Mill Lake on Saturday, June 28 from 6 - 8 p.m. Her new song “Sparkle” is inspired by a book she hopes to publish this fall, in which she interviews inspiring, local women by sharing their stories and including advice and words of encouragement. Motivated by her desire to help create a better world for her daughter, and instill confidence in her many young

Look & Feel Your Best!

female fans, Barrett launched a series of workshops to motivate teenage girls to follow their dreams, as well as “Personality Plus Services” to assist in promoting local businesses. Barrett has found a way to connect all of the pieces that make up who she is, which has led her to many entrepreneurial projects and given her a purpose greater than she could have anticipated. Barrett performs at the Kariton Gallery Stage in Mill Lake Park on Saturday, June 28 from 6-8 p.m. The Envision Concert in the Park Series runs every Saturday from June 28 to Sept. 13 at the same time and place. The Envision Coffee House Concert Series concludes this Saturday, June 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the House of James and picks up again in the fall, running every Saturday from Sept. 20 to Nov. 29.

HOT summer

IMAGE

< GAP

Bright pops of tropical colours are leading the way into the summer fashion scene. Vivid shades of turquoise, lemon and ocean blue perk up the season, often presented in bold geometric, floral and tropical patterns. A pretty sundress adorned with parrots or a swimsuit decorated with lemons adds a touch of frivolity to the season. Looking for more sophistication? A ruched retro-style one-piece swimsuit in a solid bright-blue tone should do the trick. A figure-hugging brightly patterned dress highlighted with solid blocks of lemon and black is the perfect accompaniment to a romantic date night and also packs easily into a suitcase for a summer get-away. Be bold this summer!

Summer Hair Care Keep your hair looking healthy and beautiful this summer Saltwater, chlorine, ultraviolet rays, and hot, humid weather can certainly wreak havoc on hair. After a day spent soaking up summer sun, men and women may experience breakage, loss of colour, frizziness, and tangles. Healthy, beautiful hair requires protection and a few changes to your normal grooming procedure.

lead to breakage. Comb through wet locks and go over gently with a brush.

BAKING SODA TREATMENT: Some of the chemicals in pool water, namely copper algaecides, can tint blonde hair green. To combat this, rinse hair with a mixture of spring water and a teaspoon of baking soda to thoroughly clean away chemical residues.

OVERPROCESSING: It may be better to wait until the summer season is over before using chemical processes at the salon. Colouring, getting a perm or straightening hair may compromise already taxed tresses. Plus, colour tends to fade more quickly in the sun and after exposure to chlorinated water.

Sevenoaks Shopping Centre Located Upstairs

DEEP CONDITIONER: Dryness and breakage is common when hair is damaged. Deep conditioning can restore some vitality to hair that has been dried out by the sun and surf. In addition to weekly conditioning treatments in the shower, apply a leave-in conditioner to the hair prior to going to the beach or in the pool. This conditioner will offer another layer of protection and help shield the hair follicles from damage while preventing chlorine from penetrating.

SWIM CAP They may look like something your grandmother would wear, but nothing protects the hair and scalp from environmental effects better than a swim cap. A rubber cap keeps hair contained underneath, preventing snags and tangles, while shielding hair from salt, chemicals and the sun. A swimming cap is a smart idea even for those with short hair, as it can prevent sunburn on the delicate skin of the scalp, an area highly susceptible to sun damage.

SUNSCREEN: Sunscreen is not just for the body. Certain formulations are designed to be sprayed on the hair and scalp. Additionally, certain shampoos and conditioners may protect hair from UVrays, providing further defense against the sun.

BRUSHING: Avoid brushing wet hair, which can rip out hair from the roots and

Backyard Retreat

LIFE

Want to add some interest to your backyard or patio this s summer? Here are a few tips and tricks to help you create e the backyard oasis you’ve been dreaming of.

CHOOSE A THEME Picking a theme, such as French country or Caribbean,, will help tie all your pieces into one cohesive look.

ACCEPT SUBSTITUTIONS Instead of one large table consider several smaller ones,, or use that great bench you found instead of a love seat..

USE YOUR IMAGINATION Think of alternate uses for common items. For example,, use a large wooden toolbox as a planter. A wooden doorr mounted on legs makes a great table. Turn over your large planter pots and use them as additional seating.

PAINT Find a piece that you love but it doesn’t match your outdoor design esthetic? Paint it! Consider painting your existing furniture and accessories as well, this will help tie them into your overall theme.

OUTDOOR RUGS Outdoor rugs not only anchor furniture just like in a living room but they also add a punch of pattern and colour to complement your outdoor living space.

HEALTH

We Offer the Latest Hearing Technology to Suit Your Hearing Needs.

MATTERS

LARRY W. NICKEL When you address hearing loss, it doesn’t have to slow you down. And it shouldn’t. You can go right on doing the things you love and enjoying time with the ones you love. For some people, medical intervention — like ear surgery or cochlear implants — is the appropriate treatment. But for the overwhelming majority of people with hearing loss, professionally fitted hearing aids offer great benefits. Eight out of 10 hearing aid users, in fact, say they’re satisfied with the changes that have occurred in their lives specifically due to their hearing aids. From how they feel about themselves to the positive changes they see in their relationships, social interactions,

and work lives, hearing aid users are reaping the benefits of today’s technology. Whether you’re a plumber, swimmer, teacher, attorney, or your grandkid’s favourite babysitter, there’s a hearing aid that can help you stay active and engaged in life. You might even think of hearing aids as a high-tech “anti-aging” tool. They help keep people of all ages socially, cognitively, and physically active. So no worries. Address your hearing loss. Go out and live. Enjoy life!

WHAT ABOUT HEARING AIDS? Technology and consumer electronics are transforming people’s lives, adding ease and enjoyment to daily living. The same is true for hearing aid technology. In the past few years, research and development have enabled a technological transformation in

summer

Today’s state-of-the-art hearing aids are highly effective, sleek, and sophisticated wearable electronics that can help people stay actively connected to life and to those they love. Many of today’s hearing aids allow users to hear from all directions, in all sorts of sound environments, and even underwater. They are digital, wireless, can connect directly to your smartphone or television, and can be as discreet or as visible as you like. Whether they sit discreetly inside the ear canal, or wrap aesthetically around the contour of the outer ear like the latest fashion accessory, today’s high-performance hearing aids amplify life.

HELPING HAND

Help us help others The Salvation Army Centre of Hope’s Meal Centre in Abbotsford is about far more than just filling empty bellies. Many individuals and families use the Meal Centre resources as a supplement to their incomes which enables them to allocate often sparse funds to things like rent, the heating bill, or other life necessities. Under the direction of our Meal Centre Manager, our staff and volunteers work hard to prepare a hearty, nutritious meal for the men, women and children who visit us each day. Whether it’s in our Drop In Centre over breakfast, the Meal Centre at lunch time, school classrooms whenever kids are hungry through our Pantry34 program, or in our Shelter for dinner; we place the highest priority on proper nutrition. We strongly believe that as we provide nutritious, well-balanced meals, just as we would to our own families; that better diet leads to better health, and better health will hopefully lead to better outcomes for those whom we serve. These are difficult economic days for countless families in our community who struggle with the harsh reality of

As you can imagine, these numbers are very concerning to us for a number of reasons. How many guests will we have today? Will we have enough food? Why is it that the demand has risen so sharply? We are so very thankful for our community partners, volunteers and donors who faithfully stand alongside us and continue to be generous with their offerings of time, talents and funds; we appreciate you more than words can say. To keep up with the current demand however, we do need further support! Might your church group or service club like to provide and serve a meal in our facility? Might your company wish to sponsor a meal or several? Agricultural businesses, growers, farmers, grocers; might you have product or produce that you can donate? And those of you who can help financially; would you consider a donation to The Salvation Army Meal Centre?

INTO THE

WILD

Hiking with kids BRENT MURDOCH, OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST VALHALLA PURE OUTFITTERS

For years most of my fondest memories have come from hiking trips with my children. Nothing is as satisfying as discovering the natural world with little ones. But for many, the idea of hiking through the woods with children strikes pure terror in their heart. Here are a few things you can do to make the trip fun for everyone regardless of age.

SET THE PACE & DISTANCE

TAKE LOTS OF BREAKS

Go a distance and pace that suits the youngest member of the group. Remember to focus on the journey rather than just the destination. Stop and turn over rocks. Look in the creek. Getting dirty is part of the fun — just avoid anyone getting too wet.

Calling them “energy stops” is more effective than “lets’ stop for a while”. It is the ideal time to bring out the snacks from point one.

LEAVE THEM WANTING MORE If you sense the energy level waning, end early. It is better to end on the positive rather than pushing it too far.

PLAY GAMES

BRING TREATS

“I spy” ,“20 questions”, “come up with a name of a person, place or animal to start with every letter of the alphabet”

Have everyone pick one treat to share with the group. Let them keep it as their secret until the break.

EVERYONE CARRIES A PACK

HAVE EVERYONE WEAR GOOD FOOTWEAR

It doesn’t have to have much in it but carrying their own pack gives children a sense of ownership and accomplishment.

It doesn’t have to be the latest high tech hiker. Comfortable runners will do.

Sharing around the table A conversation with a dedicated mom, looking to break the cycle of take-out and boxed convenience foods she had grown up with, had me encouraging her that the best thing she could do for her family was to master some simple homecooked dishes, and make sitting down together, free of electronics, a priority. Michael Pollan, author of Cooked, states, “Eating has gotten too complicated. We eat food, not nutrients, and we need to return to eating real foods, as they’ve existed for a hundred years, and avoid eating edible food-like substances”.

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes. Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

The focus of Driveway’s recent collector car restoration series was unveiled this week at 360 Fabrication located in Abbotsford. The 1967 Ford Mustang T5, owned by public relations executive, Laura Ballance will take pride of place first at an exclusive preview for the second annual Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction. Then it will go on public display at this

Some other show highlights: A bright ‘A&W orange’ 1966 Plymouth Satellite will be auctioned off with no fees, no reserve, and 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the MS Society of Canada. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Zoom-Zoom goes flash and boom With a flash of lightning beside our car, my co-pilot Alexandra Straub let out a screech as loud as the accompanying crack from the massive flash. Pouring rain in our tiny car made the very first day of the 2014 Mazda rally one to remember. The Mazda MX-5 (Miata) is a car most would associate with sunny, summer topdown driving but this little machine was determined to show what it was made of.

roads were all taken in stride as we carved our way through the Tennessee mountains on our way to the Brasstown Valley Resort in neighboring Georgia. Over the next three days, we experienced the MX-5 on some of the most dramatic and scenic roads this continent has to offer, and there was money on the line, big money. Last year was the inaugural Mazda Rally, which Alexandra and I won, taking home $10,000 in charity money for Kidsport. As last year’s champions, we had extra pressure this year to repeat, something we later found out would be much tougher than we had imagined. If you ever take a drive through the south east of the United States, do yourself a favour and divert away from the interstate highway system and experience driving nirvana, traversing the Blue Ridge, Unico and Smokey Mountain ranges. The lush National and State parks along with small towns and twisting river valleys are something to experience. This is a destination for drivers too, especially the “Tail of the Dragon”, a section of highway 129, just inside the North Carolina border that has 318 turns over an 18km stretch. This is a favourite of motorcycle riders but it is open to anyone wanting to experience back-to-back corners ranging from very tight to wide, sweeping turns. Our run up this road was wide open thanks to steady rain, with a few dozen motorcyclists out for a tour and several photographers taking pictures, then selling them to tourists, the same way you can buy a picture of your rollercoaster ride at the PNE! Paved roads are the place the MX-5 shines, wet or dry. continued on page 53

With a front engine, rear drive setup and perfect weight distribution, the MX-5 has been one of my all-time favourite cars because of its simplicity. The small, light, thrifty dimensions matched to a raspy 2.0L 4-cylinder and 6-speed manual makes for a fantastic power-to-weight distribution, meaning the 160hp engine might not sound like much on paper but, in practice, it makes the most of every situation.

Taking Mazda’s brand new MX-5 through forest backroads at speed, meant rocks flying, branches felled from the previous night’s storm kicking up, sliding sideways through corners and pounding over rough and rutted gravel. At the end, the MX-5 showed no signs of wear; it just powered on to the next challenge, which was another surprise, the Atlanta Motorsports Park for an

Vancouver is Supercar crazy the car back in the day, and still is) to the Lamborghini Aventador. Along with Nissan GT-Rs, Maseratis, Porsches, Ferraris, and more. Even the brand new

BMW i8, which had yet to be driven on Canadian soil, broke ground and was the lead car in the day’s event. The route would take us along the spectacular Seato-Sky highway, with a stop in Squamish and then the main rendezvous in Whistler. Fellow motorists were pleasantly surprised when they spotted the exotics driving beside them on the world famous road. My ride? The humble, all new, BMW M4. I say humble because I had nowhere near as much horsepower (this only generates 425) as some, or most, of my fellow drivers. But what I did have was the “wow” factor. Clad in an extremely eye-catching Austin Yellow Metallic coat, she was quite the sight to see. What made it even more special? It’s a 6-speed manual. Unsuspecting admirers didn’t catch me overhearing their conversations including, “Dude, this one’s a stick. Awesome.” Yes, some people actually talk like that. Though it may not have garnered nearly as much attention as some of my fellow rallyers, it still brought smiles to people’s faces. That’s what I think the event is all about. So did the drive route. Craig Stowe, founder of the Diamond Rally and Canada’s own Luxury & Supercar Weekend mentions, “There is a new breed of supercar owners who are rallying together to individually raise awareness and money for the charity of their choice.” He also comments that Vancouver is supercar crazy, and that there are more luxury and supercars per capita then any other city in North America. “There is nothing like 111 spectacular cars rallying up the 99 highway to bring awareness to many worthy charities.

Living your life to the full with God Living life to the full means different things to different people. The rich man in Luke 16 summed up his aspirations thus: “I have much goods stored up for many years. I will say to my soul, ‘eat, drink and be merry’” but God called him a fool because his death was imminent. There are two Biblical metaphors from the book of 1 John that encapsulate what

we are looking for: “God is Light” (1 John 1:5) and “God is Love” (1 John 4:8). By the way, as with all metaphors, they cannot be read in reverse. Their main lessons are that without God’s light human life is impossible and that without God’s love human life is unbearable. “God is light:” Light is the essential ingredient for life. Without light no life is possible, so God’s first command

in creation was, “Let there be light!” If the sun were summarily extinguished, every living thing on earth would perish – no light plus no heat equals no life. In God there is neither physical nor moral darkness because God’s light reveals His holy laws and humanity’s fatal flaws as well as the way for us to find forgiveness and salvation. Our number one problem, as the

Bible states it, is “men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.” (John 3:18) As Christian believers we are to “walk in the light.” Relationally that means walking in obedience, purity, holiness, guilelessness, truth, openness, with a clear conscience, nothing to hide. “If we walk in the light as he is in the light we have

fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son, cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7) “God is love:” True love is subjective, relational, personal – an attitude, an inner bent. At its purest it is an utmost regard for someone bringing forth attitudes and actions for that person’s well-being regardless of the self-sacrifice it may entail. “God is light” and “God is

love,” two simple yet profound metaphors of God. Every one of us can enter into the fullness of their meaning if we will, and live life to the full here and now and for eternity. God has opened the way for us, now it’s our move! Bert Warden is a former missionary and retired Christian and Missionary Alliance pastor. He is a member of Sevenoaks Alliance Church.

He was a pioneer in this field and spent his working years at the University of Saskatchewan, from where he retired in 1988 after an impressive and accomplished 38 year career. Some of his fondest memories were of the people he met, taught and worked with over his time with the university. Jim and Ruth (Zoorkan) enjoyed their years in BC from 1989 and she predeceased him in 2013. He will be lovingly remembered by his family and friends. A memorial service will be held next spring in Saskatoon. Donations in memory of Jim may be made to the Salvation Army. Tributes and condolences may be left at:

Chamber debates provincial issues Nicolle HODGES CONTRIBUTOR

Each year, at its annual general meeting, the BC Chamber of Commerce holds two days of debate in which policy resolutions submitted by chambers from across the province are considered. Allan Asaph, executive director of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, said board members and staff attend the meeting to ensure the local community is represented on issues of a provincial nature. This year’s AGM saw delegates vote on 39 policies, some of which have now been adopted to become part of the BC Chamber’s advocacy agenda. “I believe the chamber has a responsibility to the Abbotsford business community to bring issues forward that could negatively affect local business and/or our commu-

nity’s economic prosperity,” says chamber president, Mike Welte. “What is great about this process is that any member of chamber has the ability to bring forward resolutions, and all members in the province participate equally in the process.” The meetings are also an opportunity to learn from other B.C. communities, and better understand the shared concerns as well as unique issues that impact a particular geographic region. “The process of analysis and debate enables us to become more aware of the larger issues affecting all B.C. businesses and ensure proposed benefits have the maximum benefits, and that no one part of the province is adversely affected,” says Asaph. By cooperating with other chambers from across the province, Welte agrees it’s

an important process in finding solutions to complex problems. “The time spent with our peer chambers allows us to exchange ideas and discuss similar issues that are affecting our local business communities,” says Welte. “We come away from this conference ready to work together to call upon government for change.” Whether the discussion is related to finance, energy and the environment, job and skill development, social policy, business or transportation, the Abbotsford Chamber’s involvement in all levels of government continues to endorse the development of the community. The full list of policies voted into existence include: • B.C. Municipal Property Tax Policy - Fairer Taxation for Business

• Review of Regional Governance Model in Urban Areas • Rejecting Bylaw 280 to Allow for Private Sector Solutions • Removing Uncertainty from Community Amenity Contributions • Optimizing the Clean Energy Act for B.C.’s Economy and Environmental Policy Direction • Reconciling B.C.’s Natural Gas Economic Development Policy with its Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Policy • The Importance to the Economy of Expanded Oil Pipeline Infrastructure • Property Transfer Tax Reform; Affordable Housing is Good for the Economy • Ensuring Affordable Product Stewardship Programs For more details on these policies, visit bcchamber.org.

Kenda Allen DIRECTOR

VICE PRESIDENT

Hilary Beard DIRECTOR

John MacDonald DIRECTOR

In May, the Abbotsford Chamber held a special event in conjunction with the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce at the Centre for Excellence in Agriculture at the Chilliwack UFV campus. We gathered with industry leaders for dinner to discuss the future of Canada’s supply management policy in a debate format. The event was very well attended and featured Robin Smith (Chair of the BC Chicken Marketing Board) and Mark Liew (co-author of the recent Conference Board of Canada’s report on Supply Management). The two provided their perspectives on the pros and cons of Canada’s Supply Management system. Robin Smith described our country’s long history of successful supply management and the benefits it has brought to the industry, the farmers and the consumers. Mark Liew’s presentation focussed on the world demand for high quality agricultural products, especially in Asian markets and the need to respond to this growing market segment. At the end of the evening I came away

Any industry maintaining a “status quo” normally leads to negative consequences for a business, particularly in today’s expanding global marketplace. This is a complex issue with multiple viewpoints and my take away from the evening was that innovation and being open to exploring new market potential is crucial for the continued health of our supply managed industries.

from the discussion realizing that both opposing sides are really looking for further efficiencies in our current system. If the system allowed relaxed import tariffs producers could have access to a larger world market that values and would pay a premium for safe Canadian Dairy and Poultry products. I also came away worried that without some changes to our current system producers will be unable to grow and be purely restricted to the needs of domestic consumption and potentially miss out on opportunities to feed the world market.

The Chamber recognizes the importance of the Agriculture economy in Abbotsford. It is often forgotten that Abbotsford farms and agri-business is our largest industry representing over $1.8 billion of economic effect or approximately 35% of our GDP. Did you know that 52% of our farm gate receipts are from the supply management sector? If you are interested in learning more please consider attending one of our monthly Agriculture Committee meetings or joining us our September 17th Luncheon where we will hear from BC Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick.

Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) establishes rules for the sending of commercial electronic messages (CEMs) and the installation of computer programs. CASL also prohibits the unauthorized alteration of transmission data. The rules that apply to CEMs come into force on July 1, 2014 while the rules governing computer programs take effect Jan. 15, 2015. What You Need to Know About Sending Commercial Electronic Messages: • CASL applies to everyone—individuals, incorporated and unincorporated businesses, not-for-profit organizations, etc.—who sends electronic messages for commercial purposes. • Under CASL, electronic messages can include emails, SMS text messages, instant messages and messages sent through social networks. • CASL defines a CEM as a message that encourages participation in a commercial activity. This includes advertisements and information about promotions, offers, business opportunities, events, etc. • Under CASL, consent is required before sending a CEM. Yet, an electronic message that is sent to obtain consent to send a message for commercial purposes is also considered a CEM. • Consent can either be express or implied. 1. • Express consent means someone actively gave you permission to send him/her a CEM. 2. • Implied consent means it would be reasonable

to conclude you have someone’s permission to send him/her a CEM based on prior relationships. Implied consent could also apply to someone who has conspicuously published his/ her email address, say on a website. To obtain express consent, you must: • Clearly describe the purposes for requesting consent; • Provide the name of the person seeking consent and identify on whose behalf consent is sought, if different; • Provide contact information (mailing address and either a phone number or an email address) of those parties seeking consent; and, • Indicate the recipient can unsubscribe. • Under CASL, you must be able to prove you have consent. You must include the following in every CEM: • The name of the person sending the message, and identify on whose behalf the message is sent, if different; • Contact information (mailing addressing and either a phone number or an email address) of the senders; and, • A mechanism that allows the recipient to easily unsubscribe at no cost.
