The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team is investigating a suspicious death that occurred at a recovery house on Nanaimo Street on Tuesday. Late Tuesday afternoon the blue Victorian house, as well as several neighbouring homes and walk-up apartment blocks at Nanaimo and 12th streets were behind yellow police tape. New Westminster police officers were interviewing bystanders while an ambulance and fire rescue truck idled nearby. IHIT Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound said first responders at the scene quickly determined foul play was a factor in the victim’s death. “IHIT is working closely with the New Westminster Police Department to determine what led up to the victim’s death,” said Pound. “We are currently canvassing the area, speaking with witnesses and processing the scene.” Last Door Recovery Centre, operates the house as a long term transitional living facility, please see vIctIm, A3

Whitecaps proposal’s positives not realized by city: Mayor Wright blames time, inability to promote benefits for decision grant granger

Jason Collett, 39, was identified by Last Door Recovery Centre as the victim of ‘foul play’ at its transitional house on Nanaimo Street in New Westminster on Tuesday.
Victim ‘led life to the full’ ⫸
continued from FrOnt page
The centre identified the victim as Jason Collett, 39. He was an evening support worker at the home and had been working part-time at Last Door since April 2012. He was also a crane operator and certified search and rescue volunteer. “The past two years we were surrounded by his empathy and his focused care for those around him,” said Last Door in a statement. “He lived life to the full and leaves a full-sized hole in our hearts. He was kind, courteous, considerate and diligent.” Last Door provides transitional accommodation in the home for its clients who have completed five or more months of primary care treatment for addiction. Anyone with information about the incidents can contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448 or Crimestoppers at 1-800222-8477.
Mayor Wayne Wright blames time and an inability to not “get all the positives out to the city” for not being able to bring the Vancouver Whitecaps to town. He made the comments in the aftermath of Monday’s decision by council to kibosh plans to convert Queen’s Park Stadium into a soccer-only facility to attract a development team for the Major League Soccer club. “It’s no secret I was a big proponent,” said Wright. “It was a huge economic development for the city. We should have got all the positives out to the city … It was a progressive thing for the future.” New Westminster and the Whitecaps wrIght signed a memorandum of understanding on July 7. But the Whitecaps needed a final deal by Sept. 15 so it could apply to play in the USL-Pro League starting in March 2015. But on deadline day council got sticker shock. A report to council pegged the total cost at $11.4 million. But the city has set aside just $3 million in its budgets for the area which would have meant borrowing nearly $8.4 million. The report estimated the cost to fix the field and the concrete grandstand, and to expand seating capacity to a minimum of 3,500 was $7.07 million. Building a fullsized replacement baseball field elsewhere in the city was pegged at $1.14 million while a proposed artificial turf field next to the stadium had a $3.2 million price tag. “You’ve got to look at the numbers,” said Wright. “I don’t think the gap was an

$8 million gap.” Wright said the tight time frame to determine the costs and do community consultation were the project’s biggest obstacles. “There’s always two sides to a story, and this is one of those things that’s got a lot of intangibles to it,” said Wright. “[It would have been] nice to partner up with somebody that is high calibre such as the Whitecaps.” He said although the grandstand is iconic, it’s also falling apart. He doesn’t see the point in spending $1 million to rehabilitate a wooden grandstand, built in 1928, that’s only used once or twice a year and continues to degrade. Wright said New Westminster business would have received a lot of economic benefit, while the community would have gained improved recreation facilities and a strong relationship with the Whitecaps.

Wright did not officially vote on the proposal but the rest of council unanimously turned it down. “What it really came down to here is the financial numbers don’t work,” said Coun. Jonathan Coté, who will oppose Wright in the mayoral race in the November civic election. Coté said the revenue the city would have received from the Whitecaps lease “would have come nowhere close to recouping the city’s capital costs.” Coun. Bill Harper said going ahead was too risky. “When we first took a look at it, it was very quite exciting in terms of getting a professional sports team to actually use a stadium that’s used once a year. Not only that, but professional sports teams like that would raise the profile the city,” said Harper. Please see numbers, a15

Barely a week after learning he’ll be running for the mayor’s job against incumbent Wayne Wright, Jonathan Coté has an important supporter in his corner. Coté’s got the endorsement of the New Westminster & District Labour Council, a group that represents 123 local unions comprised of 56,000 members from Burnaby to Langley. Coté said getting the labour council’s affirmation is a boost to his campaign. “It still carries weight,” he said. “New Westminster is still a very progressive community that is supportive of workers’ rights.” coté To get the labour council’s endorsement, Coté had to answer a questionnaire and go through an interview with its 12-member executive committee. “They’re just trying to get an idea for candidates that have progressive values,” said Coté. “They’re trying to get a sense for who shares values to move the region forward.” Carolyn Rice, the secretary treasurer of the labour council, said the process to vet candidates actually started in the spring. Those looking to secure labour’s blessing must apply to go through the questionnaire and interview process. “It’s a pretty comprehensive process,” said Rice. By the time they’re done the executive will have interviewed about 70 candidates from 14 municipalities. Rice said the council looks for candidates’ positions on issues like supporting local business, keeping jobs in the community, pay equity, respect for the environment, development and transportation infrastructure. “It really does span the range of issues,” said Rice.

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Mary Gagnon of New Westminster captured this shot of a swallowtail butterfly in her garden last month, as it visited one of her petunias.
Idea turfed, and wisely The urban landscape around the world is littered with stadiums and ballparks built for sporting dreams, now forlorn and unrequited. From the architecturally magnificent “Bird’s Nest” stadium built in Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics that now sits mostly unused, to the functional Abbotsford Centre, which bled that city’s taxpayers of millions to subsidize a minor professional hockey team that was largely ignored by fans. A decision by New Westminster council on Monday ensures the Royal City won’t join that ignominious list. In July the city signed a memorandum of understanding with the Vancouver Whitecaps of the Major Soccer League to pursue the possibility of locating a development team in Queen’s Park Stadium. But Monday, council rebuffed the Whitecaps. The $11.4 million the city said it would cost to expand the grandstand, build a new baseball diamond in another park and eventually an artificial turf practice facility next to the stadium, was just too expensive. Most other private enterprises have to stand on their own, put up their own building, construct their own facility. If it makes economic sense, they’ll do it. New West has a proud sporting heritage. But that doesn’t mean its residents flock to watch games. The New Westminster Bruins junior hockey team left town. Twice. Junior B and women’s semi-pro hockey also failed. The senior and junior Salmonbellies lacrosse teams rarely draw in the triple digits, unless they’re competing for a championship. New Westminster residents would rather play sports. Which is why keeping Queen’s Park Stadium available to soccer and baseball leagues, and whatever other outdoor field sports may come along, is the best decision for the community.

Despite the naysayers among the region’s mayors, who sometimes seem to be the biggest obstacle to transit improvements, the idea of a transit referendum makes a great deal of sense. Instead of ad hoc tax increases like the two cents a litre which mayors came up with at the last minute to help fund the Evergreen Line, residents will get a specific list of suggested transportation improvements and how they can be funded. They can then choose to accept or reject that proposal. The poll results indicate that a majority of those paying attention to this issue would likely support added spending on transit. There is significant support in areas where transit is already a reasonable alternative to driving. But even in areas like Surrey and Langley with fewer transit options, there is decent support. However, the poll indicates that south-of-the-Fraser residents are
Frank Bucholtz more opposed to additional taxes to fund TransLink. This is not surprising. People in this area are already paying bridge tolls – something that drivers in other parts of the region do not have to deal with, except on the rare occasion when they venture out on Highway 1 or cross the Golden Ears. The 35 per cent of south-ofthe-Fraser residents who oppose tax hikes also likely pay more in car expenses than many others. They likely pay higher fees for driving to work, put in more gas, and pay more to maintain their vehicles, which run up mileage faster than many cars owned by people in Vancouver or Burnaby. Interestingly, the two most popular tax options in the poll were universal bridge tolls, which would even out costs among

all vehicle owners, and a $75 vehicle tax, also a more evenlydistributed tax burden. Both received 27 per cent support. A one per cent rise in regional sales tax was less popular and a carbon tax had only 15 per cent support. Unlike many mayors, residents know the province isn’t giving any carbon tax revenue to TransLink and they will simply pay even more for fuel than they do now. SFU City Program Director Gordon Price, a former Vancouver councillor and transportation expert, says the referendum has a better chance if it’s framed about building for the future. If TransLink becomes a focal point, it has less chance of success. That’s likely even more true after a series of SkyTrain breakdowns and the revelation that TransLink senior staff got hefty raises when there was supposed to be a pay freeze. Surrey could benefit from more transportation funding. The mayors’ ambitious plan calls for more rapid transit and significantly more bus service

south of the Fraser. For many Surrey residents to consider a “yes” vote, those improvements must be seen to be coming soon. There have been too many promises over the years that have been slow to materialize – such as rapid bus service over the Port Mann Bridge which only began for Surrey residents last week, with the #555 bus now making a stop at 156 Street. It took the concerted efforts of 18-year-old Daryl Dela Cruz to push the city into spending $193,000 to make the stop finally happen. It should have been done by the province as it was promised as part of the Port Mann Bridge. Nonetheless, it is now reality. Dela Cruz deserves thanks from Surrey residents. Hopefully he and other transit advocates will pay close attention to the promises made about improvements to transit here, as the referendum date nears.

COMMENT
Very neighbourly move I’ve always counted my neighbours as one of my blessings so when I heard the story I’m about to recount I just couldn’t help but share it…. A family in our neighbourhood of lower Sapperton is pursuing a career opportunity and relocating outside of the country. They are huge fans of New Westminster and recently demonstrated the special place our neighbourhood occupies in their hearts by how they handled the sale of their home. In one week they received four offers and a bidding war ensued. The sale price escalated to upwards of eight percent over their asking price. The house could have sold for $7,000 more than it did. But Craig and Patty did an extraordinary thing. When they learned the highest bidder intended to demolish their home, and build a new big box house, they balked and set the offer aside in favour of a lower one. They wanted someone to buy their home that appreciated
the intrinsic historical value and scale of the house, and they did not want to impose a new larger house on their neighbours. Most people, as they are leaving, would be inclined to take the money and run. So I just want to say thank you for the generous gift they bestowed on all of the neighbourhood. I hope they’re able to find somewhere just as wonderful for this exciting new phase in their lives—wherever they go they will surely make it a better place! Catherine Cartwright New Westminster
CHECK CANDIDATES’ HEALTH With the new four-year term for mayor and council it is imperative we examine each candidate carefully. Before voting, you need to enquire about each candidate’s age and well being. Add four years to their current age to better understand how old they’ll be and what their abilities toward the end of their
term may be like. There’s no mandatory age for elected officials, but aging affects good decision-making and is a detriment for the long hours our elected officials need to remain alert and effective. Long hours occur regularly in this city, especially when public hearings can mean a 12-hour day. As well, ask each candidate about their individual health issues so you can better understand if they are fit for the job. Not all are forthcoming with that personal information. Even the recommendations from the usual political and special interest groups do not consider candidates’ age or their maladies in their support of candidates to the electorate. This information is important and should be mandatory because if a vacancy does occur due to a death or sever illness, you, the taxpayer will be on the hook for the by-election expenses.

Coté said most of the questions during his interview centred around transportation. It’s not the first time Coté’s won labour’s backing. The council previously supported his candidacy for city council. He said while labour backing doesn’t come with financial support, it does give an opportunity for candidates who have the labour council’s endorsement to pool some of their resources. “There will be some joint efforts,” said Coté, who declined to name other candidates who have already been given a labour endorsement. Rice said the full list of candidates the labour council is supporting will be released formally on Oct. 10.

ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7718, 2014 (1016, 1020, AND 1022 FOURTH AVENUE)
6:00PM
REVISED 6:00 PM on Monday, September 29, 2014 In Council Chamber, City Hall, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster, BC ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7719, 2014 (1026 CORNWALL STREET) PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A proposal has been submitted to rezone 1026 Cornwall Street (outlined in bold on the map) so that it can be subdivided into two equal sized properties and a new house built on each lot. Both houses would contain a secondary suite.
WHAT IS ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7719, 2014 ABOUT? A rezoning is required to enable the existing lot to be subdivided into two lots. The existing Single Detached Dwelling Districts (RS-2) zoning requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 sq. ft./557 sq. m. while the proposal is to create two lots that are 4,356 sq. ft./405 sq. m. each. The proposed Single Detached Dwelling Districts (Small Lots) (RS-5) zoning has a minimum allowable lot size of 4,000 sq. ft./372 sq. m. HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? The bylaw and all pertinent material are available for viewing online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices, and also in the Planning Department at City Hall 10 business days prior to the Public Hearing, September 15 to September 29, 2014, Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays) between 8:30am and 4:30pm. HOW CAN I BE HEARD?

“It would make the city more attractive [to visitors], and for economic development. At that point we had no idea what the reaction was going to be in the community. We knew being in the summer time was a problem, and the time line was a problem but in our view taking the opportunity and time to look at it was important. That’s what we did.” Harper said the baseball community set the agenda by attending open houses and council meetings to voice their opposition. But although the sport would have been turfed from the stadium, New Westminster Baseball president Ron Suffron was happy about the decision for financial reasons. “The numbers just don’t work, that’s all there is to it. And the timeframe never worked,” said Suffron. “That whole process was crazy to spend that kind of money behind closed doors just didn’t make sense.” Suffron said baseball needs to improve its promotion of games so the grandstand draws crowds at times other than just May Day. Queen’s Park Residents Association president David Brett believes New Westminster has missed a golden opportunity to both save the stadium and to align the city with a marquee group like the Whitecaps. He said the staff

report’s one-page financial summary doesn’t fully analyze the proposal. “It appears to only tally the capital costs, but it does not reference any revenue anticipated from the project, and it doesn’t seem to define the contribution from the Whitecaps. It’s not spelled out what the sports franchise was going to contribute,” said Brett. “I don’t think the way council has disclosed this to the public is quite right.” Signs opposing and supporting the Whitecaps proposal have popped up on lawns all over New Westminster. Petitions and comments from both sides have dominated social media talk in the city. “The opponents have been very loud and somewhat rude, and I think a minority have influenced the decision,” said Brett. “You can disagree without being disagreeable, and I think this has not been a
very fair process from the opponents’ side. A lot of misinformation has been disseminated.” The Whitecaps have resumed discussions with other Lower Mainland municipalities to find a place for its young prospects to play in 2015. “[W]e are disappointed by city council’s decision not to proceed with this proposal,” said president Bob Lenarduzzi and chief operating officer Rachel Lewis in a joint statement. “We truly appreciate the support we received from members of the New Westminster community and are thankful to those residents and businesses – as well as our supporters – for all of their efforts.” The development team will be owned and operated by the Whitecaps, developer Ian Gillespie and development consultant Gary Pooni, a New Westminster native.

Chamber event boosts New West New Westminster residents already know the allure of their city. Over the weekend representatives from communities around B.C. learned first hand about New West’s unique qualities as well. The British Columbia Chamber Executives Association held its annual general meeting and conference at the Inn at the Quay. Delegates from chambers of commerce from around the province gathered for professional development workshops and seminars on topics like economic development, social networking, financial management and community advocacy. “The hosting of events like these drives economic benefit for our city,” said Cori Lyn Germiquet, the CEO of New West’s Chamber of Commerce. She estimated the conference pumped more than $50,000 into the city’s economy. More importantly, said Allan Asaph, the president of the BCCEA, delegates “received a warm introduction to the community and many of its local businesses and attractions.”

‘Significant decline’ in gang killings: annual report More big cases go to trial in 2015 Jeff Nagel Black Press
A recent drop in gang violence now has B.C.’s anti-gang police unit looking to the courts for closure on several major outstanding cases. Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit chief officer Kevin Hackett said the “significant decline” in organized crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investigations leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership. His comments were published Monday in the unit’s 2014 annual
community report. It can be found online at bc-anti-gang.com. The number of gang-related killings in B.C. fell to 13 last year from 18 in 2012 and has been cut by almost two-thirds from the 36 gang murders committed in 2009. Nearly 100 organized crime figures or gangrelated individuals were arrested and charged last year with more than 270 offences in close to 30 B.C. communities, Hackett said.The report’s release came after the province announced policing cuts that will pare the CFSEU budget by $2.8 million. Much public attention has focused on the Surrey Six murder trial, which
concluded in July. A decision is expected Oct. 2 in the case against two of the men accused of killing two innocents along with four targeted victims. But a separate murder conspiracy trial for Red Scorpions gang member Jamie Bacon is slated to begin next May for his alleged role in the Surrey Six slayings. And there could be two other major gang murder trials in 2015 as well. A trial is expected to begin next year in Kelowna, where Jonathan Bacon was gunned down three years ago.

late in 2018 due to time served, he is expected to then be deported to Iraq. Hackett was optimistic the CFSEU’s edgy End Gang Life campaign (endganglife.ca) will help persuade more gang members to reform. It plays on the emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they’re dead. The annual report includes statistics on the ethnicity of gang murder victims, where the bodies are typically found (31 per cent inside a car, 20 per cent inside a residence), as well as seasonal patterns in gang violence. • To view the CFSEU’s community report, visit bc-anti-gang.com.

We told her that we were not working with any Realtor as they don’t have the ability to answer our questions as we have very strict exposure and directional restrictions. We needed floor plans and strata plans to ensure the house we bought was in accordance with Vastu (Hindu architecture). Bryn took down our email & said she would send us some listings. We got a huge number of listings a couple of days later. We took a look and called her up to schedule the viewings. She answered her phone promptly and was available to answer our endless questions via phone,text & emails. 3 weekends later & a couple of marathon viewings across the town of New Westminster, we found the house that we loved. We put an offer and it worked amazingly well in our favour. Bryn helped us in the following. 1. Answering all our questions with immense patience. We had lots being the first time home buyers in Canada. 2. Providing us with floor plans ASAP 3. Scheduling viewings at very short notice sometimes. 4. Giving us pointers for Mortgage advisers, home inspectors, lawyers etc. We had absolutely no idea what level of work was needed. She gave us step by step to do list for our ease.
SUBDIVIDABLE LOT!
Charming 4 bed+1 bath home. Upgrades include pex plumbing new electrical, thermal windows, insulated walls & attic, renovated bathroom, wood burning stove, hardwood, tile & laminate flooring. SUB-DIVIDABLE 94’X87.67 lot. Potential for 2 new homes aprox 2500 sq.ft each with a LEGAL suite. Or keep the existing house to live or rent(aprox $1600 month)& build an additional house on the lot if you desire. AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY!
We were buying our first house this summer. We had bad experiences with Realtors before so we were on a lookout ourselves. We checked out a couple of houses on our own & landed in an open house where we met Bryn.

In addition to all the above points, she was a major stress buster in the entire process due to her vast knowledge base of the area and realty in general. We consider ourselves immensely lucky to have her as our Realtor.

Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car.

Milton Keynes, England: As we each climbed into a gleaming Infiniti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow. The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettel-like, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours!

“The four-time F1 champ influenced the production of the sharp-looking Q50 we drove to race weekend. “ However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddle-flipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested. Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose on either model.The drive mode selector offers snow, eco, standard, sport and personal settings – my drive partner and I invented the new exceptionally slow mode. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped “Along the way, show off the predictive forward reflective signs collision technology.

Thanks to the $320 flexi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks. Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions. Along the way, reflective signs urged us to visit such historic locations as Dunkirk, Bruges and Brussels, but we steamed on determined to reach Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot. Vettel showed off a prototype of the super-powered Q50 Eau Rouge version, named for the Belgian track’s famous corner. Perhaps a repeat of the route, including scenic diversions, in a production Eau Rouge would be fun. Just saying. Contact keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Cadillacs were the first all-new Caddies after the end of WWII (the 1946-47 cars were similar to the 1942 model), and they were drop-dead gorgeous with the first of the fighter plane-inspired tail fins that would grow to near mutant proportions by 1959. As elegant as any Bentley of the era, the ’49 model was the first with Cadillac’s modern overhead valve V-8.

The third generation T-Bird is arguably the prettiest. The epitome of jet-age, midcentury modern style, it was dubbed “the bullet bird” for its streamlined shape. Nice coupes are particularly reasonable, and with a little searching, decent convertibles can be found for $25,000 or less.

Prices seem to be firming up, but six-cylinder coupes and convertibles are still available at a reasonable price.

1927-31 Ford Model A:
Like movie sequels, few automakers have had the ability to follow up one blockbuster with another of equal magnitude. The Model A was “The Godfather II” to the Model T’s “The Godfather.” If you look at American period photos from the 1930s40s, it sometimes seems like there was nothing else on the road. They can still provide reliable transportation even in the 21st century. Amazingly, this piece of automotive history is still affordable. Tudor sedans range from $15,000 to $20,000 and roadsters $20,000 to $25,000. Rob Sass is vicepresident of content for Hagerty Insurance.

GVHBA Fall Renovation Show kicks off on October 4 By Kerry Vital
If renovations are on your to-do list, you can’t miss the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association Fall Home Renovation Show on Saturday Oct. 4 and Sunday Oct. 5 at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam. Presented in partnership with the Better Business Bureau, the free show will focus on professional renovation information
and education. The collaboration between the GVHBA and BBB aims to bring homeowners the largest one-stop source of Vancouver’s top professional builders and renovators. The show is completely devoted to renovations, and the Ask a Pro booth will be onsite and providing complimentary 30-minute oneon-one consultations to homeowners looking for assistance. Free 20-minute seminars are also scheduled throughout the show, covering topics such as Kitchen Design Trends,
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Renovating versus New Build and Designing for Small Spaces. A list of seminar topics and schedules will be posted online. “Advanced planning and working with experienced professionals will be your best protection,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “Considering you are renovating one of your greatest investments, your home, it makes sense to only work with the pros.” De Wit notes that Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend about $3.8 billion renovating their homes this year, making it important to hire a professional RenoMark renovator. “The RenoMark designation assures consumers that the renovator they are dealing with has completed industryleading education requirements and are part of a professional network apprised of the latest technologies and designs,” says de Wit. The event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged and attendees are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. For more information and to register, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

Morningstar Homes is bringing their single-family home expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood, a collection of homes with some amazing curb appeal and great features, including a gorgeous kitchen and plenty of room for entertaining or relaxing.
The Village at Southwood delivers wow factor By Kerry Vital
Morningstar Homes has a reputation for being one of the top single-family builders in the Lower Mainland, with beautiful homes in several communities. Now, they’re bringing their expertise to South Surrey with The Village at Southwood. “South Surrey is one of the most soughtafter places to live,” says Deborah Calahan,
vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “There are so many amenities in the area. It’s close to great recreation like the new aquatic centre, good schools, the ocean, shopping, dining and the United States. It’s truly got it all!” The three-bedroom homes at The Village at Southwood are built in a contemporary West Coast style, with generous use of stucco, stone and wood that combines for some serious
curb appeal. Each home has a large private backyard for leisure time with the family. Inside, the spacious open floorplans range from 2,570 to 2,615 square feet, with an unfinished basement that gives buyers the option to include a deluxe finished basement or legal suite. The vaulted ceilings and window seats are just two beautiful details in the homes. Like all Morningstar homes, the kitchen is a highlight. “The kitchen is king in our homes,” Calahan says. The Village at Southwood kitchens include large granite islands perfect for entertaining or family meals, as well as high-end stainless-
steel appliances. Natural light is prevalent throughout the homes due to the huge windows. Gorgeous glass-paneled stairwells add to the open feel and contemporary look of the home. Another stunning addition is the linear gas fireplace in the living area. Upstairs, the master suite is an oasis, with a wall-to-wall seam-less glass shower enclosure with sitting bench, two hand-held wands and a large rain shower head. “The ensuite makes you feel like you’re on vacation at a luxury spa!” Calahan says. “They feel so extravagant.” Morningstar is offering several options to homeowners, allowing them to truly make their home their own. Among them are an indulgent steam shower, Nu Heat flooring in the master ensuite and main bathroom, an electric linear fireplace to add ambiance to either a master bedroom or den and a stateof-the-art four-zone Sono audio system. “There’s even some outdoor living choices like a garden bench with planters and faux grass for low-maintenance yards!” Calahan says. “People really appreciate that.” The homes opened for sale in August, and have already been very popular with buyers. “There has been an amazing response so far,” says Calahan. Part of the appeal is the neighbourhood. Close to the amenities of Morgan Crossing, nearly anything you can imagine is within walking or easy driving distance, and Highway 99 is just moments away. Recreation opportunities at Crescent Beach or one of the numerous golf courses and parks are all nearby. The exciting Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre is due to open next year. And kids can walk to the new elementary school that is slated to open in the near future located just down the street. “It’s really special,” Calahan says. “We’re really thrilled to be here.” For more information, visit www. mstarhomes.com, call 604-560-3450 or visit the presentation centre and three showhomes, located at 16708 23rd Avenue, South Surrey, open daily between noon and 6 p.m.
