▶ BRODIE ROBERT PATERSON CHARGED IN SURREY SHOOTING OF CRAIG WIDDIFIELD

ARREST IN 2013 MURDER SARAH MASSAH

An arrest has been made in relation to the 2013 gangland shooting that killed Craig Widdifield in South Surrey. In a news conference with Surrey RCMP and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) Friday afternoon, it was announced that 20-yearold Brody Robert Paterson had been arrested, and charged with first-degree murder. Widdifield, 28, was gunned down in what police describe as a targeted shooting on April 24, 2013, in the 15700-block of Croydon Drive, at approximately 7 p.m. Multiple 911 calls were made after shots rang out. Widdifield’s body was found in

TransLink’s new target to roll out its troubled Compass card to the bulk of transit passengers is now the end of 2015. Though it’s expected the cards will work as planned on SkyTrain, there are fears of delays on buses due to slow card read times and errors. EVAN SEAL

COMPASS CARD DELAYED AGAIN ▶ TAP OUT REQUIREMENT MAY BE SUSPENDED ON BUS SYSTEM JEFF NAGEL

TransLink officials admit they could still be more than a year away from a full rollout of their troubled Compass card payment system, setting a new target of the end of 2015. And when the full launch comes,

▶ “This would be a temporary reprieve to get people used to using this card.” COLLEEN BRENNAN

TransLink may temporarily drop the requirement for passengers to tap out as they exit buses so they aren’t overcharged if they forget that step. “This would be a temporary reprieve to get people used to using this card,” said TransLink communications vice-president Colleen Brennan, insisting the transportation authority remains committed to the original vision of a tap-in tap-out system. The $194 million smart card and fare gates program was a directive of the provincial government to combat fare evasion and crime on SkyTrain.

But there’s still no indication of when the fare gates on SkyTrain – which were to have been operating by fall of 2013 – will be closed and begin holding back fare evaders who don’t pay. It’s expected Compass cards will work as planned on SkyTrain, but there are fears of long delays as passengers board and exit buses due to slow card read times and errors on the mobile readers. Passengers are supposed to tap in as they board and tap out again as they exit to record the actual number of zones travelled. If they fail to tap out, they’re charged the default fare for three zones even if they only travelled one zone. Brennan said no decision has been made to suspend the tap-out requirement and if that’s done

it would likely require a temporary change to a simplified fare structure that charges bus riders the same price no matter how far they go. More than three quarters of TransLink’s 215 bus routes only travel within one zone anyway and never cross a zone boundary. But Brennan was unable to say if TransLink has explored other alternatives, such as designing a different solution for the 52 bus routes that span two or three zones and making the default fare one zone for the rest. The multi-zone buses may also be susceptible to fare evasion if passengers tap out on a reader without actually exiting and then ride an extra zone or two.

At the time, police told media that Widdifield was known to police “for this lifestyle” and that fact was reiterated Friday.

On Friday, McDonald said that “valuable evidence” had been recovered from the vehicle that helped ▶ “Every lead to Paterson’s murder is a arrest.

Paterson was known to police, said Surrey office-in-charge Bill Fordy, who vowed Friday that both Surrey RCMP and IHIT would continue working towards further arrests in the case. “Every murder is a tragedy and unacceptable,” he said. McDonald noted that it is a common misconception that police will not be able to bring high-profile cases, like Widdifield’s, to the charges stage. In the days following his son’s death, Widdifield’s father, Jim, spoke to Black Press about how his son had been characterized as a gangster. “He made some mistakes in his life – mistakes in judgment – and paid for them,” Jim said at the time. “I’m not saying he was an angel, but he was not how he’s been portrayed at all.”

Container recycling lags, especially in Surrey ▶ TOO MANY BOTTLES AND CANS GO TO THE LANDFILL, SAYS ENCORP JEFF NAGEL

Metro Vancouver residents are recycling laggards when it comes to taking back their empty bottles and other deposit containers. And those in Surrey and Vancouver appear to be the worst of all. So says Encorp Pacific, the non-profit agency that oversees the Return-It network of depots on behalf of member companies. The system has an overall beverage container recycling rate of 80.1 per cent across B.C., a number that has improved from 72 per cent in 2006. But Metro Vancouver is significantly worse than other

regions at about 74 per cent, according to Encorp CEO Scott Fraser. “Surrey and Vancouver are our two biggest challenges in terms of lower recovery rates and the largest numbers of unrecovered containers,” Fraser said. ▶ “Surrey and Encorp says recovery rates Vancouver are are also low in the North Shore, Tri Cities and Abbotsford, but our two biggest relatively high in Langley, New Westminster, Maple Ridge and challenges...” Delta.

▶ BUS DRIVERS UNION PUSHING TO NIX REQUIREMENT TO TAP OUT from page 1

One possibility under consideration, Brennan said, is some sort of incentive system to reward passengers who tap out if it becomes voluntary. Post-secondary students on U-Passes will be the next to get Compass cards in a series of waves starting in January and running through summer. West Coast Express users would likely be next, Brennan said. She said performance of the Compass card system has been improving, but would not reveal test results.

Previously, TransLink cited unacceptable delays in bus readers detecting cards, as well as high error rates. TransLink wants a full tap-in tap-out system so it can eventually replace the three-zone fare system with distance-based pricing and so it can get precise data on passengers’ travel patterns. One group pushing TransLink to pause or eliminate the tap out requirement is the bus drivers union. Nathan Woods, president of Unifor local 111, said passengers will be angry about delays or paying too much due to system errors or their own mistakes and may take out their frustration on drivers. But he said the union is also worried that TransLink’s on-

going service optimization program – where it shuffles bus service from underused routes and times to where there’s more demand – will go into overdrive if transit planners glean the locations and times that passengers board and exit the system. “They’ll have exact evidence of where the ridership is when people tap out,” he said, arguing service is already being cut in some neighbourhoods where TransLink decides there’s insufficient ridership to justify frequent service. Asked why the union would resist service optimization, Woods said drivers’ stress levels rise as buses become more congested and less time is built into schedules for washroom breaks and recovery time.

Total crime up 21% in Surrey so far this year ▶ STATISTICS SHOW VIOLENT CRIME DOWN SLIGHTLY AND PROPERTY CRIMES UP IN FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2014 KEVIN DIAKIW

Total crime is up in Surrey, while violent crime is down slightly so far this year, compared to the first three quarters of 2013. While violent crime is down two per cent, property crime and other Criminal Code offenses have shot up, according to statistics released on Friday. The figures show a 21-per-cent increase in total Criminal Code

offenses so far this year when compared to the first nine months of 2013. The Surrey RCMP third-quarter statistics released Friday afternoon show which offenses are more prevalent and which are diminishing. Murder is down 33 per cent and robbery is down 11 per cent. However, attempted murder is up 175 per cent and abduction and kidnapping are up 25

per cent. Combined, it reflected a two-per-cent decline from the first three quarters of last year. Property crime, however, is up by a fair margin. Statistics show there has been a 27-per-cent increase from the first three quarters of last year. Some of the big increases this year are fraud (up 67 per cent); theft of motor vehicle (57 per cent); stolen property (42 per cent); theft from motor vehicle (36 per cent); and identity theft (26 per cent).

Other Criminal Code offenses were also up 19 per cent, including causing a disturbance (25 per cent); bail violations (14 per cent); and possession of offensive weapons, which was up 13 per cent. There were more marijuana possession cases so far this year as well, with Mounties seeing a nine-per-cent increase from the first three quarters of last year. Marijuana production and cocaine possession were both down significantly (52 per cent and 29 per cent, respectively). The level of property crime increase has

been the most surprising in this quarter’s statistics. Police say it’s partly in keeping with increases among other Lower Mainland municipalities this year. In addition, Surrey

launched a campaign called “Observe it, Report it,” encouraging people to report property crime, which resulted in more cases being handled by the RCMP. Mounties say

a companion “Protect it, Lock it” campaign is aimed at reducing the amount of theft. Crime has been identified as the number-one issue of this fall’s election.

▼ ALL TYPES OF FAMILIES NEED OUR SUPPORT As some in Surrey wish the school system to return to the dark days of homophobia, bullying and repression, I have to express my dismay. Having seen the crippling affect of homophobia in school systems across this country, having taught at the graduate and undergraduate level in Faculties of Education, having two children who have experienced public education in two provinces, I can only say that we must support students of all sexual orientations as they begin to understand their sexual identity. The destructive force of hatred under the guise of protecting “the family” is one of which we must all be wary. Families, just as human beings, come in in all sizes and shapes and need our support. Dr. Daniel Bogert-O’Brien

More trees, less pavement ▼ NEIGHBOURHOODS NEED PLANNED GREEN SPACES As a long-time resident of Surrey, I would like to call upon civic politicians to increase the amount of green space in neighbourhoods, especially those with secondary suites. Over the years, Surrey has witnessed steady population growth and the proliferation of housing. With a majority pro-development city council in Surrey over the last few decades, it could be argued that local politicians “never met a subdivision they didn’t like.” Beautiful trees and green spaces were destroyed for poorly planned housing development. The city failed to respond with adequate city planning and urban design. For example, I feel secondary suites and a lack of parking are major challenges.

A letter writer wants to see outdoor amenities for all new neighbourhood developments. FILE PHOTO

There are close to 26,000 secondary suites registered with the city. Multiple or larger families

residing in the same house results in more vehicles. Homeowners are being forced to pave over their lawns to make room for parking. The streets are crowded with cars. This results in a lack of green space and play areas. I recommend city planners incorporate the following amenities for all new Surrey neighbourhood developments: 1. Overflow community parking areas. 2. Community gardens. 3. Well-lit pedestrian park routes for walking and bicycle trails. 4. More community parks, play areas, and green spaces. 5. Tree-lined residential streets. We need to protect our environment and preserve the natural character of our neighbourhoods, as well as provide safe and healthy green spaces for our residents to enjoy. Alex Sangha, Surrey

▼ PROPOSED RELOCATION OF RAIL LINE NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED AHEAD OF TIME Since Dianne Watts announced plans to run for the federal Conservatives in Cloverdale-South Surrey-White Rock, I have noticed she has made statements about moving the rail line from the waterfront in White Rock. What I have not heard is where she would want it moved to. This is an issue that needs to be discussed in this civic election. The only way to move the goods to their destination is to go through Surrey somewhere; the question is where? Has anyone asked Surrey residents whether they want this or not? I don’t think so. There are existing rail lines that run through Newton. Just the possibility of that makes me very nervous and I don’t live in Newton. It makes me think of Quebec and the disaster in Lac Magantic. This is a topic that needs to be discussed before it forced on us. Marg Beddis

VIEWPOINT

Hot gases spew from legislature BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry. Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on. Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world. Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal.

I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out. Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel. Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas

from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas. B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-free gas as well as light petroleum liquids. (This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.) Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate. CO2 that comes up with gas is

extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture. Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund. If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Hosted by the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT) and the Fraser Real Estate Board Oct. 29, and mediated by radio personality Travis Goodman, councillor candidates were given the opportunity to respond to questions posed by a panel of experts and the crowd of more than 100 on topics including taxes, crime, homelessness and transit. Surrey’s seven mayoral candidates were not part of proceedings, as SBOT and South Surrey White Rock Chamber of Commerce cohost them at the same location today (Nov. 4) at noon. Each councillor candidate received 10 opportunities – in the form of blue slips – to respond to questions. Only five candidates could answer each question, and only one member from each coalition. In response to many of the questions, candidates answered pulling straight from their platforms, with some, after their 90-second response time was up, referring to their websites for more information. One hot-button issue included a question – asked twice from the audience – that focused on a two-year property tax “freeze” proposed by the Safe Surrey Coalition and the One Surrey Coalition. Retired firefighter Mike Starchuk (Surrey First) pointed out that his team was not one of the slates that promised a tax freeze. “If I want to go back 15 years ago when somebody froze taxes, I can tell you about the scariest job I ever had,” he said. “When we go into a building when everyone is running out, we look pretty stupid, but really when you’re running inside a building with less people than you need, that’s retarded.” Starchuk’s comment was rebuked minutes later by real-estate agent Stephen Gammer (TeamSurrey),

wean yourself off that. “I’m not at all in favour of safe-drug sites, certainly not in my backyard.” On the thread of crime and justice, candidates spoke favourably about creating a Surrey community court for repeat offenders. Former VPD officer Kal Dosanj (One Surrey coalition) noted the community court is an “essential component” to decreasing crime, along with community safety officers and adopting a “no call is too small” program in the city. He noted that when a community court was introduced in the Downtown Eastside, it was an “immediate and effective plan.” On the topic of transit, candidates agreed Surrey needs more accessibility and increased service, with Rina Gill (Safe Surrey) noting that her slate has a “comprehensive, multi-faceted five-point plan” that includes funding for Light Rail Transit (LRT) and increased community shuttle

buses. Incumbent Barbara Steele (Surrey First) noted that LRT is the plan for Surrey, with plans already in motion after consulting with the province and

federal government. “Surrey is next,” she said. The 2½-hour forum also focused on density, Surrey Fraser Docks, coal trains, homelessness and

affordable housing, among other topics. Surrey voters cast their ballots for their choice of mayor, eight councillors and six school trustees on Nov. 15.

A man has been arrested and charged in relation to a homicide in Surrey earlier this year. Early on June 19, Mounties and paramedics were called to the 13100-block

of 65B Avenue on a report of a man being stabbed. Mandepaak “Deepak� Chahal, 22 of Surrey, was taken to hospital where he died. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the investigation. This week, a man was charged in connection with the Chahal’s death.

Woman succumbs after being hit by car A woman who was struck by a car in mid-October has died in hospital. On the morning of Oct. 11, a 76-year-old

Surrey woman was crossing in a marked crosswalk at 140 Street and Bear Creek Drive when she was hit by a white Honda Civic

traveling northbound on 140 Street. She was taken to hospital with critical injuries and died on Oct. 28.

The 24-year-old Surrey driver was not injured and remained at the scene. Alcohol and drugs have been ruled out as contributing factors in this collision, however, police are still investigating. Anyone with more

information who has not spoken to police is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigations Team (CCIT) at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS.

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday November 4 2014

Artang, Maz OS Occupation: General Manager of Browns Socialhouse Sunshine Hill Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Economic Development 3. Accountability & Transparency My slogan is simple: “Get Involved. Demand Change.” We must improve public safety in Surrey – businesses are losing confidence, young people are flocking to nearby cities, and most importantly, people feel unsafe in their own backyards. We need a comprehensive crime reduction strategy that addresses the short term and long term issues. Our city needs vibrant, innovative ideas to remain a great place to raise a family and build a business. I will advocate for our city’s growth through accountable government, transparency, and fiscal responsibility. I will bring new ideas, new leadership, and be completely accessible to the citizens of Surrey.

Aujla, Saira IND Occupation: Realtor Key issues: 1. Crime 2. Development 3. Disaster Relief As a Surrey resident, I’ve strived hard to energetically be involved in the community. My skills in Cantonese, English, Punjabi, and Hindi have been fundamentals tools. I’m passionate about living in BC fastest growing city for the past 27 years. Now my next steps are to get neighborhoods involved in the safety of our homes, kids and furthermore the safety of the environment of Surrey. I believe as a Realtor I’ve learned a lot about planning, communicating, understanding, and cultures to assist me with my road ahead. My main goal is not to act as a politician, but a mother and a concerned citizen, taking a stand for other citizens.

Bayda, Merv OS Occupation: Surrey RCMP Auxiliary Constable Program Manager / Retired RCMP Officer Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Social Issues 3. Transportation I’m concerned about public safety in our city. Surrey, with its dynamic diversity and culture is the envy of the province. Unfortunately, crime is overshadowing this beautiful and vibrant city. My slogan “TIME FOR CHANGE” is my action plan to get the community involved. An immediate strategy for a community policing model is crucial to get the business and citizens rallying to reclaim Surrey. Additional police officers are vital, however, their service delivery must ensure more focus on community safety and community participation. It’s Time For Change to ensure that Surrey continues to remain vibrant and be the destination for new business and new families.

Bhupal, Tanvir IND Occupation: Manager of local Motel Key issues: 1. Crime and Safety of Surrey Citizens. 2. Transparency. 3. Transportation and Traffic Improvement. Hi my name is Tanvir Bhupal and I’ve lived in Surrey for the past 22 years. If elected, I will bring about an implementation plan for a much needed independent police force. I will propose an affordable and efficient community patrol program to assist our current police officers. I believe strongly in maintaining the transparency and accountability of all elected officials. With all the rental suites in the city, parking has become a major issue for our residents. We must keep transportation and traffic concerns at the forefront of all community development plans. Let’s make Surrey safe once again!

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

SURREY: COUNCIL ▶ TO HELP CITIZENS MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE AT THE POLLS, THE LEADER ASKED ALL CANDIDATES – FOR MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD – TO PROVIDE THEIR NAME, OCCUPATION, TOP THREE ISSUES AND 100 WORDS BRIEFLY DESCRIBING THEIR PLATFORM AND PLANS IF ELECTED. HERE ARE THEIR UNEDITED RESPONSES: Blair, Cliff IND Occupation: Civil servant and retired realtor Key issues: 1. Crime and drugs 2. Infrastructure funding 3. Building on successes Surrey is a fabulous home. We are having growing pains. Crime results from society neglecting the needs of disadvantaged people. I will toward building effective intervention and rehabilitation resources. We will grow dramatically in coming years. Industrial and residential growth demands social service growth. I will be pressing for schools, parks and facilities to be built concurrently with development. Our recent council has overcome years of anti investment politics. I will encourage a council that invites continuing growth. I will propose an aggressive plan to ensure that business leaders and provincial & federal governments help with our financial needs.

Bose, Mike OS Occupation: Poultry Farm Manager Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Transportation 3. Balanced Growth I want to improve safety for the citizens of Surrey and develop an achievable crime reduction strategy which includes greater police presence on the streets, and a community court. We also need a comprehensive transportation plan to connect the town centres. I want to focus on our natural environment and use this resource as an opportunity to encourage investment and job creation. I want to balance our residential growth with commercial and industrial growth, and bring jobs to Surrey. I’ll strengthen efforts to protect farm land, and develop a value added sector in agriculture to encourage growth in farming and provide high quality food products.

Bowyer, Darlene OS Occupation: Small Business Owner Key issues: 1. Crime 2. Infrastructure Investment 3. Environmental Protection I believe we need to ensure Surrey has a strong voice regionally, provincially and federally and that we are at the table making sure Surrey’s voice is heard with regards to transportation, safety, education, social and environmental issues. I support the practice of “no call is too small” policing, where every call is attended to and believe we need to implement that same strategy in Surrey. I strongly support economic development with the implementation of sustainable development practises, environmental and biodiversity assessments should be a priority. The well-being of our rapidly growing population of all ages should be paramount as we go forward.

Canuel, Obi IND Occupation: Youth Worker Key issues: 1. Representative Democracy 2. Representative Democracy 3. Representative Democracy Dear Surrey: If any of you live paycheck to paycheck, or struggle to pay the rent, or take a bus in the rain after work, then you don’t have any representation on city council. If you make more than $130,000 then sleep easy, knowing that your mayor understands what your life is like. This strikes me as a threat to representative democracy. You don’t have to vote for me, but understand that this isn’t going to improve unless someone points out the problem. If you elect me I promise nothing except to give 2/3rds of my bloated salary to charity.

Dela Cruz, Narima OS Occupation: Realtor Key issues: 1. Safer Streets 2. Better Transit 3. Healthier Communities I’m committed to working for: Safer streets, better transit, and healthier communities. We need to increase the number of RCMP officers on the road and implement a comprehensive mental health strategy. We need more buses and frequent transit services. We need to ensure our communities are vibrant places, and that community associations have easier access to grants. Over my years as a volunteer with many different groups, I learned that, when given the chance, people want to help make their city a better place. Surrey is a growing city but we need to ensure it grows for the benefit of all its residents – regardless of where you live.

Dhanoya, Nav IND Occupation: Bylaw Officer Key issues: 1. Hiring RCMP officers 2. Better Translink services 3. Surrey Convention Centre 1) Hire more RCMP officers, and Community Safety officers. 2) Better Translink services and reducing Bridge tolls for Surrey residents and businesses. 3) A New Surrey Convention Centre to promote business and trade shows in Surrey. New Recreation Centres and Libraries in the City. 4) A UBC Science Campus in Surrey for medicine, engineering, research and pharmacy students. 5) Streamline business and development applications approvals within 45 days of applying. 6) Cost reduction for Community events i.e. Vaisakhi Parade, Cloverdale Rodeo, etc… 7) Support for Mental health, homeless shelters, and sustainable housing in the city.

Dionne, Fiona Candidate did not provide requested photo or information.

Dosanjh, Kal OS Occupation: Vancouver Police Detective Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Helping At-Risk Youth 3. Transportation I am dedicated to fixing Surrey’s crime problem and empowering youth to make positive life choices. Surrey can become one of the safest cities in Canada if the leadership at City Hall makes it a priority and starts investing in public safety programs. Based on my personal experiences in the community, as a social activist, and as an officer, I know the One Surrey public safety plan will work. I am passionate about mentoring youth and raising awareness about how sports and fitness can help divert our kids from a life of drugs and gangs.

Duncan, James IND Occupation: Mechanic Key issues: 1.Bus Fines too high 2.Change Hospital Policies 3.Collections I would like to see more available money in the workplace. The working poor sector. Also,Collections billings are too personal.They start calling everyday.

Elvins, Rita IND Occupation: Vancouver Coastal Health Key issues: 1. Ward system 2. Independent police force 3. Transparency My intentions if elected for Councillor is to change some of the antiquated policies, that surrey has operated on for far too long. I would like to bring more accountability in where our elected officials represent all areas of surrey and not just the interests of one area. I believe decisions should be made public and accessible for every member of our community. I believe the city of surrey should have its own dedicated police force, independent of the RCMP. I’m passionate for young families and their economic future and kindly ask for your support to take this challenge to bring in new ideas to the City Hall. I look forward to share our ideas with the voters of surrey and work hard to win this campaign.

Francis, Shawn IND Occupation: Heavy Duty Mechanic Key issues: 1. Crime reduction 2. Increased public safety 3. More transportation services First, I would increase the number of police officers to comparable levels to our neighbouring municipalities. Second, I would examine and implement strategies for crime prevention. Like expanding community watch programs, after school outreach programs, and forcing the demolition of derelict and abandoned properties. Third, I would work towards crime reduction, by cooperating with our community partners to reduce poverty in our most vulnerable neighbourhoods. And finally, transportation is the cornerstone to a healthy and vibrant community. I will push for increased transit service and keep the pressure up to expand rapid transit lines throughout our city.

Occupation: Executive Director at Nejat Church Ministry of Canada and President of All Nursing Health Services Inc Key issues: 1. Safe neighborhoods 2. Vibrant Surrey Economy 3. Public Transit No taxes increases for home owners 65 and older for 3 years. No salary increases for Mayor and Councilors for 3 years Enhanced gang task force. Local police for Surrey. NBA (basketball) for Surrey. Smart for economy, brings millions of American annually to Surrey, create jobs. Athletes are excellent role model for youth and children. Great entertainment. Solve homelessness and lack of access to basic services that are root cause of non-gang crime. Sky Train and subsidized Light Rail on King George connecting 108 to 72, and along 104 connecting surrey central to Guildford mall. Contracting out services. Secured bike lanes.

Gill, Rina SSC Occupation: Small Business Owner Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Transportation 3. Fiscal Responsibility I am an entrepreneur who is very passionate about Surrey and all of the potential it has to offer residents. This belief is something that I bring to volunteering my time with a range of organizations working to contribute positively to the broader community. I am running for Council with the Safe Surrey Coalition because crime, irresponsible use of taxpayers’ money and political aspirations are getting in the way of good government that is about the people. I am fighting for public safety to become the number one priority at City Hall and for immediate action to be taken.

Gammer, Stephen TS Occupation: Commercial Realtor Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Infrastructure Deficit 3. Accountability, Transparency & Accessibility As a life long Surrey resident I have seen massive changes with the growth in our city. The priorities of the one party at city hall have not matched those of the average person. Their priorities have been sweetheart P3 deals with developers. The people we meet on the street tell us their issues are: public safety, transportation and roads, lack of recreational facilities for youth, places for seniors to safely socialize, and support the most needy in our community – those with mental health and addictions. Team Surrey will hold city hall accountable and speak up for you.

Community participation I care about responsible fiscal leadership, and will continue to use my professional accounting background to further facilitate financial policies and strategies, while ensuring public funds are used in the most beneficial and responsible manner. I also care about finding transportation solutions, providing the best opportunities for healthy activities through world class sporting facilities, and making our streets safe for our children and our elderly while finding solutions to combat homelessness and helplessness.

Guerra, Laurie SSC Occupation: Realtor Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Transportation 3. Fiscal Responsibility I am a mother of five children, and I am proud to say that I have raised my family in the wonderful City of Surrey. However, becoming a Block Watch captain in my neighbourhood of Fleetwood really awakened me to the problems of crime that all residents encounter, and the gaps that exist in maintaining public safety. I have joined the Safe Surrey Coalition because I believe in public service, particularly when it comes to our community. It is time to get away from politics by bringing commitment, dedication and most importantly action back to City Hall.

Occupation: Business Owner Key issues: 1. Sustainability 2. Innovation and investment 3. Job creation

As a business owner, I want to encourage private sector investment in Surrey and create a climate of investment and innovation. Encouraging companies to relocate to Surrey while fostering a sense of entrepreneurial spirit means new jobs for our growing population. I will also ensure we preserve our natural environment for future generations with such programs as our Green Surrey initiative and our Bioconservation Strategy which will protect 10,000 acres of land in its natural state. I will also work hard to put Surrey’s transit needs first at the table with Translink and the Provincial Government.

My personal priorities will be crime reduction, community inclusion and sustainability. Addressing the roots of crime such as addiction, mental health, homelessness and poverty continues to be a top priority for me, as we work together to build strong, connected neighbourhoods where people feel safe. One of Surrey’s greatest strengths is our multicultural and diverse nature and we must continue to ensure that all people feel welcome not only to live and work in Surrey, but to celebrate what makes them unique. I will also advocate for strong social policy and support the Social Plan for Well Being, the Poverty Reduction Strategy and the Master Plan for Homelessness.

Transportation and recreational infrastructure has not kept pace with growth. Seniors and families need to feel secure again and youth need the ability to socialize in a safe environment. We need to make public safety a priority for every department in the City and add more police, bylaw officers and youth workers. Obtaining more supports for those who are living on our streets with Mental Health and Addiction challenges must be a priority. TeamSurrey will work with together with all levels of government to obtain the additional financial supports required to build a stronger city.

Martin, Mary SF*

Occupation: Councillor, City of Surrey (nine years) Key issues: 1. Community wellness 2. Diversity and inclusivity 3. Environmental sustainability I believe that relevant and accessible community services are the key to building and sustaining a thriving City. Surrey needs responsible and thoughtful investment in infrastructure and programs to allow young children to explore their potential, seniors to live an active life, workers to compete and win a global knowledge economy and families to build memories and experiences here at home.

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday November 4 2014

Thind, Justin SSC

McMurtry, Jim IND Occupation: Teacher Key issues: 1. Livable neighbourhoods 2. By-law enforcement 3. Municipal spending review I am opposed to a council hand-picked in the mayor’s living room, a $395,412 salary for a city manager, a “white elephant” city hall that was part of municipal expenses rising 16% last year, Richard Branson getting $420,000 at Surrey’s Regional Economic Summit, the mayor making $150,000 of which one-third is taxfree, a million in uncapped contributions to Surrey First at election time, and free trips for politicians to England, India, China, Colombia, Italy and Puerto Rico. If the Surrey circus is to remain the same each year, at least the clowns should change. Fight repeat offenders – don’t re-elect them!

Rooney, Martin IND Occupation: Disability Pension Key issues: 1. Safer Communities 2. Affordable Housing 3. Sustainable Growth The overall platform seeks connect the dots to create a safer and more sustainable community. To achieve this we must enforce our bylaws, increase our police force. We must also expand our transit options. We should also engage our youth, create sustainable affordable housing in all markets which includes shelters, and protect our infrastructure, defending our forests, rivers, parks farmland, firefighters and emergency responders.

SURREY: COUNCIL ▶ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14

Occupation: Lawyer Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Transportation 3. Fiscal Responsibility My family and I have lived in many neighbourhoods across Surrey. One of the most surprising things that I have seen is the way that City Hall currently favours certain areas over others. This is completely wrong, as every resident has the same right to good services and elected officials who listen to their concerns. The Safe Surrey Coalition is about bringing back simple government. On public safety, we need immediate leadership, focus and action. Politics can be very self serving. I am motivated differently, and am running to truly give back to a city that I l love.

Starchuk, Mike SF Occupation: Chief Fire Prevention Officer (Retired) Key issues: 1. Our seniors programs 2. Recovery houses 3. Secondary suites and associated problems. Having served as Fire Department liaison for the Seniors Advisory and Accessibility Committee (SAAC), my goal is to ensure our seniors have access to resources to keep them active physically and socially. Our committee has dealt with personal safety, fire safety, finance, wills, seniors abuse and neglect. Also, in the last two years, the provincial government has become re-involved with recovery houses. 60 to 70 percent of these houses are not registered with the Assisted Living Registry. We need to create a dedicated team to ensure these houses are fire safe and more importantly, safe for the community.

Villeneuve, Judy SF* Occupation: Surrey City Councillor (25 years) Key issues: 1. Sustainability 2. Social services 3. Culture We need a City Hall that is responsive to residents, respected, inclusive and open-minded; where access to services, staff and councillors is fair and open to all. Surrey needs accessible, affordable and sustainable public transit including rapid buses, a light rail system, more police officers to address crime in neighborhoods, with a balanced approach including more housing and supports, and more responses to those with mental health and addictions. I will also foster and profile our multicultural heritage, public art and creative industries. I respect Surrey’s Environmental and Biodiversity plans and acquisition of more parkland and natural areas will through development cost charges and pooled park funds.

Steele, Barbara SF* Scorsese, Rick IND Occupation: General Manager Key issues: 1. Improving Public Transportation 2. Small business incentives 3. Unified committee on crime prevention As a Surrey resident and a small business developer, I am passionate about fueling small business owners and entrepreneurs with tax incentives and educational tools. Further, as a professional having worked in Hospitality, Utilities and Transportation, I will bring my 15+ years of education and experience into the City Hall making transportation efficiency, crime reduction and entrepreneurship top priorities. In addition, I will replace the ineffective Police Committee with a much more practical, unified system with free information flow that will include your neighborhood participation in reducing crime.

Simpson, Beau SSC Occupation: Newspaper Editor Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Transportation 3. Fiscal Responsibility As the editor of the Surrey Now newspaper for the past 7 years, I have seen how the current Mayor and Council have neglected the community’s needs in favour of political glamour projects. I have a young family, and I’m running because of a sincere interest in making a contribution to improving Surrey for all citizens. The Safe Surrey Coalition is committed to Public Safety as our top priority. Our streets require greater enforcement presence, and we must invest in programs to tackle the root problems of crime. It is time to bring City Hall back to the people.

Occupation: Surrey City Councillor (16 years) Key issues: 1. Seniors well-being 2. Public safety 3. Regional representation As a city, we are respected regionally, provincially and nationally, and I will work hard to keep this image of Surrey alive. I see a city with Light Rapid Transit connecting our city centres, and development of the city centre which will attract new businesses to Surrey I continue to be a strong proponent of our Crime Reduction Strategy, which stresses identifying the root causes of crime and intervening at an early stage. I also believe council needs to heavily lobby the Federal Government for changes in the Criminal Justice System to stop the release of dangerous offenders into municipalities and cities.

Woods, Dave SF Occupation: Staff Sergeant Major, RCMP (retired) Key issues: 1. Community safety 2. Recreational services 3. Business development Community safety is my number one priority. I want the citizens of Surrey to feel safe on their streets. Citizens are demanding a more visible, foot patrol police presence in high density hubs and I firmly support this initiative. I want to obtain community feedback about crime and community issues, and encourage communication between council, the community and the police. We need to addresses the causes of crime such as mental instability, poverty, lack of employment opportunities and drug addiction. I also want to encourage responsible development while keeping the city affordable to encourage home ownership and opportunities to work in Surrey.

Young, Brian OS Occupation: Chief Operating Officer - Surrey and Delta Golf Clubs Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Transportation 3. Transparency & Equality Public Safety is of paramount importance to residents and business alike - without this we don’t have a successful City. Transparency needs to occur in all aspects of our City! As Block Watch Captain I was not informed that property crime nearly doubled until after the quarter had finished. Public Safety should be public information, not reserved for the privileged. I believe that all City Centres should be treated equally with the list of amenities and projects driven by the community, not dictated by the City. One Surrey was created to give you a voice, please use it on November 15th.

Allen, Terry SF*

Occupation: School Board Trustee Key issues: 1. More classroom space 2. Adequate funding 3. Best public education

SURREY: SCHOOL TRUSTEE

I understand the fundamental importance of a sound publicly funded education system and I believe as a Trustee, I will ensure the Surrey School District maintains its high standard of excellence. I will also commit to continue to fight for Surrey’s fair share of all education funding and to make sure the funding goes where it is most needed – in the classroom. Along with my team of Surrey First Education, we will not stop the fight for more classroom space and new schools. We will continue our work in building relationships with teachers and support staff.

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

Roughly 7,000 students attend class in portables and they do not provide an adequate learning or teaching environment. It is priority to speak up about the budget for the Public School system in Surrey. Bullying has grown to new mediums. I have worked in schools providing anti-bullying workshops but funding has been cut for these programs. I will fight for programs that protect students. Mental Health is something that schools are overlooking. There is an increase in the concern and very little awareness. I will advocate for programs that educate students at the elementary school level as a proactive approach.

The Delta District Parent Advisory Council is hosting an all-candidates meeting for those running for Delta school trustee. The debate takes place Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Seaquam Secondary School Auditorium (11584 Lyon Rd.) The event is for parents and school PAC members to come and meet the candidates and ask questions.

Dhillon, Sukhy IND Having been a teacher for over 20 years I have witnessed and experienced the challenges faced by students, parents and teachers. These issues range from a lack of physical space for learning (we have far too many students in portables) to a lack of resources for all students. Although funding for all students has decreased; the reductions have been considerable for those students with special needs including developmental disorders such as Asbergers and Autism. I am committed to being accessible and open to parental concerns and bringing their ideas to the board. As a trustee I plan to engage all stakeholders to work actively together to tackle the problem of bullying and the presence of drugs in our schools. I am committed to being a strong effective voice for action.

Diaz, Rina IND

Occupation: Entrepreneur Key issues: 1. Safety 2. Communication 3. Parent involvement

If elected I will devote myself whole heartedly to advocating for more funding that our growing community desperately needs. I will work with the district and board: - To make sure that the staff members supervising our children have adequate training both in conflict resolution and first aid so that they can provide our students with a safe school environment. - To implement a more collaborative stakeholder communication between the board and our voters to ensure that they have more access to policies and regulations for review before they are voted on. - To develop a meaningful connection to learning with more parent involvement within the classrooms.

CIVIC ELECTION 2014 Dobie, Charlene SFE*

Occupation: Surrey School Trustee / Education Assistant Key issues: 1. Underfunding 2. Overcrowding 3. Community Engagement

I will continue to lobby the Provincial Government to make Public Education a top priority. I will continue to be a strong voice on the Surrey Board of Education and advocate for the resources and services our students need. I will work with other elected officials in Surrey to get the capital funding we deserve. I will initiate “informal” trustee meetings with students, staff, parents and all community members. I will be a fully engaged School Trustee- approachable, progressive and a strong advocate for Public Education in Surrey- as I have done over the past 3 years.

Enair, Patricia IND

Occupation: Advocate Key issues: 1.Funding 2. Transparency 3. Parental Engagement

For too long Surrey schools have suffered chronic underfunding. I will advocate for capital and classroom funding. Parents are busy - I will find creative ways to encourage school involvement by supporting staff with a more streamlined process and by making our schools hubs in the community. Often time’s parents are the last to know of changes or decisions the Ministry of Education has made. I will ensure transparency within the education system. Most importantly I want to put our children first, their future needs to be the center of our decision making process.

Youth leadership opportunities: Creating curricular and extra-curricular opportunities for students to demonstrate their leadership capacity and to promote positive role-models in the greater Surrey community. 3. Enhanced community engagement: More parent, community and student engagement in making policies. When elected, I will seek guidance from all stakeholders for the betterment of our students in order to make Surrey schools a shining example of what the public education system can be by promoting a safe and inclusive learning environment. I will work hard for the development of programs for at-risk students; donate 20% of my School Trustee salary to create curricular and extra-curricular opportunities for students to demonstrate their leadership; and more community and student engagement in making policies.

Holmes, Bob SFE

Occupation: Sales Key issues: 1. Surrey’s funding shortage 2. Meaningful parent involvement 3. Coming education changes

My wife and I have spent most of our lives in Surrey, and our children attend Surrey schools. I’ve been involved in PACs for 11 years and the District PAC for 9 years including President and Co-President for 5 years; I’ve also sat on several district committees, and headed up many funding advocacy efforts including rallies, letter-writing campaigns, petitions, meetings with MLAs and Ministers of Education, and numerous media appearances. I will continue advocating for the properly funded education system that students of Surrey need, because our children deserve it. For more about me and my vision, please see bobholmes.ca.

Joliet, Nicole IND

Occupation: Independent trans activist / lab tech Key issues: 1. Improved anti-transphobia policy 2. Demand adequate funding 3. Revised anti-drug policy If elected, I will immediately put forward a sexual orientation and gender identity policy that at least matches what the Vancouver School Board passed earlier this year. I will also focus on improving substance abuse policies to best-practice standards that recognize teenage years as a time for experimentation while promoting harm reduction efforts in order to prioritize students’ education over punishment for ‘stepping out of line’. Finally, I will submit a budget that reflects our kids’ needs, even if it is not balanced and I am fired as a result.

Larsen, Laurie SF* Occupation: Surrey School Trustee Key issues: 1. Advocate for funding 2. Safe caring schools 3. Improved Communication We fund $4 million on portables for students who should be in schools, and that money should spent in the classrooms? I will continue to advocate for the government to fully fund the needs of all students. Every child , no matter where they live, deserves a quality education and a safe, healthy and caring environment in which to learn in. I believe our staff work hard at working with the funding we are given but it isn’t enough. Our Teachers do not have the tools they need to do the job they are professionally trained and inspired to do.

Matta, David IND Occupation: Instructor/teacher: Teaching leadership and positive psychology at the college level. Key issues: 1. Pursuing excellence in education, sports, and music. 2. Building a culture where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. 3. Working in harmony with parents. Educated at both Simon Fraser and Trinity Western David holds a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology and teaches leadership and psychology at the college level. David’s parents were both schoolteachers and David attended public school himself from K to 12 in Vancouver. As a parent and as a long time resident of Surrey David believes that every child has the right to a quality education. David believes in upholding family values. He enjoys cycling and spending quality time with friends.

Patsicakis, Niovi IND Occupation: Retired Learning Support Teacher, part time Educational Consulting & Services Key issues: 1. Underfunding of Public Education 2. Changes to K-12 Curriculum/School Act 3. Engagement, Transparency and Student Success · I believe that School Boards should submit the budgets that they need to the provincial government and then stand strong to demand that the funding needed be delivered to the district. · I want to work with other trustees and with teachers and parents to ensure that Surrey provides a wide range of programs to help all of our students to be successful in their education. · My educational background leads me to promote healthy working conditions for students and teachers and this includes eliminating portables and alternate schedules. · We need to maintain school boards and increase the influence of trustees in Ministry plans and policies.

SURREY: SCHOOL TRUSTEE ▶ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 Sabharwal, Baljit IND Occupation: Business Owner Key issues: 1. Provide a high standard of education for our children. 2. Serve the educational needs of our growing diverse community. 3. Provide a safe environment for our children to help them grow as individuals. My background strength comes from being raised in Surrey from elementary school all the way to High school secondary. The Surrey schooling gave me the strength to finish my engineering at UBC. I have lived in Surrey for over 40 years. As a parent, I believe that our children are our future and we must provide them opportunity to grow in a healthy school environment. The City is growing and the needs of the changing society must be addressed. Issues such as class sizes, addressing funding needs, ensuring there are enough schools and good teachers, ensuring safe healthy learning environment are all important to maintaining a high standard of education in our wonderful City.

REINVEST in LEARNING by increasing access to proper staffing and resources. Ensuring that schools have enough support workers such as: Counsellors, Librarians, SEAs, ELL support, Aboriginal Support Workers, Behavioural Specialists. REINVEST in CLASSROOMS by ensuring students have a permanent space to learn. Portables are not the solution. We must work in partnership with government to build proactive solutions for our growth demands. REINVEST in STUDENTS by growing their potential through innovative programs. We are a district with over 70,000 students who all need to be able to access programs that recognize their potential; no matter what their background or need.

Occupation: Realtor and Mortgage Broker Key issues: 1. Capital / Operating underinvestment 2. Class size and composition 3. BC Carbon Tax Jonathan Silveira believes Surrey Kids Matter. As an entrepreneur, he understands the value of investing in education for the future. “Back in 2002, funding for the education of our kids was a priority and took about 19 per cent of B.C.’s spending dollars, but now that percentage has shrunk to barely 10 per cent, and this must change, because Surrey Kids Matter.” – Silveira. “Surrey is B.C.’s largest and fastest growing school district. Its unique needs require recognition from Victoria. We need an assertive Board of Education; with trustees that will advocate strongly for our district, its schools, and families.” – Silveira.

Singh, Harman IND Occupation: Teacher Key issues: 1. Meeting students’ needs 2. Resource allocation & accountability 3. Parental involvement & workshops I would like to provide clear grounds for resource allocation and accountability on my part and all involved stakeholders. This means - Supporting the needs and choices of all students - Extra-curricular programs which keep kids engaged in their passions - Having counselling more approchable for all students - Being creative and promoting creativity in our schools - Staying connected with the fast-paced technology of today I believe a larger investment in education leads to fewer resources needed in crime prevention. Building stronger humanitarian values of love, care and respect leads to a healthier school environment and the greater community.

Sharma, Sara IND Occupation: ECE Teacher/Realtor/Financial Controller Key issues: 1. Reinvest in Classroom 2. Reinvest in Teachers 3. Reinvest in Programs Solutions to current challenges for parents, students and supporters of the board need a multi-year program. The Band-Aid approach to problem solving must to be replaced with a long term, integrated approach. We need to invest in making permanent learning space in classrooms, employ more teachers and need to develop programs for our students to educate the next generation to compete in our complex global economy with relevant skills. My top priority will be to work with parents, staff, and community members to make our schools run more efficiently with a proper allocation of resources. Public education needs to matter to everyone. Our public education needs to shape our culture and our nation for generations to come. Surrey’s education system must be inclusive, modern and effective.

With a strong public education system our community will secure a bright and prosperous future. My plan for Surrey is to be a liaison between parents, teachers, students and tax payers to allow for meaningful dialogue around the topic of education. I want to be an advocate for Surrey’s public schools.

Ron’s history of Delta reaches all the way back to Expo 86 on his first road trip down from Northern BC, where he grew up, to stay in Ladner while visiting the lower mainland to visit the World Exposition. 28 years later knew that this is where he wanted to live, and he has set roots in North Delta with his amazing wife, Diana and his beautiful young daughter, Sarah. Ron has had two specific careers, first as a chef in many restaurants including Earls’ and Joey Tomatoes, running and operating a kitchen staff with many varied personalities. Ron then took a turn in his career and chose to work in the IT field. For the last 17 years Ron has worked for the same company and worked his way from the ground up to his current role as Director of IT. Ron has a number of objectives that he would like to achieve when elected, an improvement of air quality in regards to the coal dust issue, to have a fiscally responsible government, a strong support for the farming community of Delta, and making developers of the area be more socially responsible.

Wilson, Shawn SFE* Occupation: Board of Education, Trustee Key issues: 1. Classroom Portables reduction 2. Special Ed funding 3. Graduation rates increase Although the Board has made significant progress is addressing new school spaces for students in the last three years, I will aggressively pursue funding for a secondary school in the Grandview area of Surrey in order to reduce the overcrowding situation at Earl Marriott Secondary. The funding formula for students with unique or special needs is completely inadequate, particularily for students who are not designated but do need extra support. I will press this issue relentlessly with Government. I will continue promoting programs that have demonstrated positive results in helping students complete school and obtain their graduation certificate.

Mattoo, Peter IND Occupation: Retired Key issues: 1. Creating more housing options to increase affordability 2. Expand public transportation options 3. Better political representation that is community driven I am running for Delta Council for three reasons. First, as a 34-year resident of Delta, I want to give back to the community that gave my family and I so much. Secondly, I believe that in recent years, Council has become unresponsive to the local community, with representatives more concerned with political careers than serving the interests of residents. Lastly, and most importantly, I think it is time for Council to reflect greater diversity, whether through cultural heritage, neighbourhood, professional background or age. It is time to shake up the status quo with new voices at the table.

Mayhew, Lori DC Occupation: Treasurer, not-for-profit organization Key issues: 1. Strong Local Economy 2. Transportation & Transit 3. Engaging Citizens Delta Council needs to encourage the development of a vibrant and diverse retail sector in all three town centers in Delta. We need to partner with local business associations to expand, enhance and promote ‘shop local’ programs. When it comes to transportation issues in the region, we need a two pronged approach. First, we need to work with regional partners to ensure land use and transportation planning effectively addresses the complex challenges in the region. Second, we need to look at local solutions like improved sidewalk infrastructure and bike routes to encourage all modes of transportation within Delta.

How to fix dismal voter turnout in civic elections? ▶ SOLUTIONS MAY INCLUDE ONLINE VOTING AND OFFERING INCENTIVES JEFF NAGEL

Dismal voter turnout rates in municipal elections could be improved through new tactics to make voting easier and more top-ofmind, a new study suggests. The report “Getting the Majority to Vote” by the Columbia Institute notes 70 to 80 per cent of eligible voters didn’t vote in the last civic elections in 2011 in most of B.C. Vancouver, with higher-profile municipal politicians and well-funded campaigns, did the best among B.C.’s bigger cities, with 34.6 per cent turnout. But Surrey’s turnout was 25.2 per cent and several other Metro Vancouver cities fared even worse, with mayors and councils elected on turnouts ranging from 21 to 25 per cent in Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam and on the North Shore. Report author Norman

Gludovatz recommends pre-registration of teens while they’re still in high school in an attempt to develop life-long voting habits among youth, whose turnout is worse than older age groups. He also suggests handing out “I voted, did you?” stickers, recruiting celebrities to advocate for voting and even the use of incentives, such as automatically entering voters in a lottery. “It is a real-world solution that has been proven to work,” the report says, citing a 10-per-cent increase in turnout in a Norwegian city that gave away a travel voucher. Secure online voting and more advanced voting days are other potential ways to make it easier to cast a ballot, he added. “Popular culture already stimulates millions of people to vote online for programs such as Canadian Idol, and electronic voting can use that existing learned practice and pop cultural tradition to help elect a local government.” Elections BC findings

released in February recommended a slow and methodical exploration of Internet voting options, and cautioned there’s little evidence turnout will improve, even if the technical and security challenges can be overcome. The Columbia Institute report flags a number of reasons why municipal voter turnout has ebbed. Gludovatz notes local elections are complex, requiring voters to choose multiple candidates for mayor, city council and school board, unlike federal and provincial elections where voters pick just one candidate. It’s simpler in many other parts of Canada where a ward system means people vote to fill only one council seat in their area, not multiple councillors for the whole city. A growing number of people are feeling disconnected, particularly in fast-growing populations where newcomers have little or no social network, Gludovatz said.

Control of taxes Delta is my home and my community. I have lived in Delta for almost 50 years. I raised my family here and have proudly served it’s citizens for 21 years as a Councillor. I have been the Chairperson or member of every committee and commission established at the Municipal level. I have engaged with citizens throughout the community through public hearings, open houses, email, telephone conversations and across the back yard fence. I am well informed about citizens concerns, vision and values. I am seeking re-election to Council and am committed to continuing to work hard for all residents of Delta for a new four-year term.

Improving transportation corridors I still live on the farm in Delta that I was born and raised on. My family’s passion for Delta dates back 3 generations, as we have been very active in farming, volunteering and sports. Both of my parents have a long history of volunteering and giving back to their community. As well, my father was a founding member and chairman of the BC Agriculture Land Commission. This rich heritage of contribution to community is a legacy that I continue in everyday life as well as a member of council. My vision is to bring common sense to the council table, with the mind set and financial vision of a self-employed business person of which I have been all of my adult life.

Labour consumes most new taxes cities collect ▶ UBCM PRESIDENT IS NOT SURPRISED BY CTF’S FINDINGS JEFF NAGEL

Rising property taxes charged by B.C. municipalities have mainly gone to cover higher labour costs, rather than expanding civic services, according to an analysis by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). It found B.C.’s 30 biggest cities brought in a combined $490 million more in 2013 than five years earlier through a combination of property tax rate hikes, higher assessments and growth, while they spent $345 million more on municipal salaries, wages and benefits over the same period. That means 70 cents out of every new property tax dollar generated since 2009 was eaten up by labour costs, CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “It seems that most of this money is going to fund raises for existing executives, existing managers and labour contracts,” he said, although he conceded in some cases the higher labour costs have added additional employees to provide expanded services. “The Township of Langley, for example, is adding more firefighters,” he said.

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday November 4 2014

Rising labour costs actually exceeded the entire growth in property taxes in Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta, North Vancouver City and West Kelowna. “Every single new cent plus more went to paying for labour in those cities,” Bateman said. Bucking the trend was Langford, where municipal labour costs actually declined slightly since 2009. Bateman said that was due to the local council’s “pretty aggressive” contracting out of municipal services to private firms, which the CTF broadly supports. “We think it’s better to put services in the hands of the private sector, where there’s competition and efficiency.” The CTF analysis excludes all contracted labour costs, including RCMP policing services, although policing costs are included in cities with municipal forces. Union of B.C. Municipalities president Sav Dhaliwal, a Burnaby city councillor, dismissed the findings as unsurprising. “A great portion of our operating costs have always been salary and benefits of our employees,” Dhaliwal said. “The services we provide are labour intensive – road, public transit, protective services, clean drinking water – all these require people to deliver those services.”

Wong, Nicholas DC Occupation: CSA at BC Ferries Key issues: 1. Guiding stable growth contained within acceptable community plans 2. Environmental responsibility and the protection of farmland 3. Engaging and supporting citizens through responsive leadership The cornerstone of good government is responsibility to the people. Unfortunately, Delta Council seems to have forgotten that fact and Delta citizens suffer for it. What we need is a local government that listens to public input and is responsive to public opinion. I will deliver just such a government. Conversation and action in the short term is not enough. Plans for development and infrastructure cannot be short sighted and must be environmentally friendly to be sustainable. If elected, I will do the hard work required to create strategies that are beneficial today and remain beneficial for decades to come.

Atwood, Corinne IND Occupation: Executive Director, BC Bottle and Recycling Depot Association Key issues: 1. Better allocation of existing resources. 2. Funding model improvements 3. Advocating for changes to class size and composition policies “I believe my experience in community development, non profit and for profit business management, and negotiating lends itself to the process of creating education policy in a constructive and collaborative way. New voices at the table generally mean new ideas.” “Declining enrolment and the current funding formula exacerbate the funding problem, I advocate tweaking the current model.” Atwood’s past experience also includes work with Parent Advisory Councils. She currently sits on the Delta Board of Variance. Find my profile on LinkedIn and Twitter

Bennett, Rhiannon KM Occupation: Family Outreach Worker for the Musqueam Indian Band Key issues: 1. Equity 2.Relationship building 3. School funding I will work tirelessly to advocate for restoration of reasonable funding for Public Schools and for a reconciliatory approach to public education. Having worked professionally with children, youth, and families for over 18 years, I am aware first hand of how a decade of cuts have put students and staff safety at risk and created challenging learning environments for all students. As an Indigenous person, I aim to nurture better relationships with the local Indigenous population through Education. It’s time for Delta to take its place at the forefront of Aboriginal Education, ensuring Canada’s true history is openly taught in all classrooms.

I will advocate the provincial government to honor commitments for class sizes & composition; increase funding for ESL & special needs, and to adjust the funding formula so fixed costs are covered regardless of student numbers. I will increase enrolment by 1. offering French immersion in traditional format 2. Expansion of trades training & apprenticeships & international students. 3. Encourage Delta Council to increase affordable housing options to attract families to Delta. http://susanfetterkind.weebly.com/

I don’t take no for an answer very often, especially when it’s something important. As a Director with a non-profit charity, I have extensive experience dealing with tight budgets and turning dimes into dollars.

Democratic society is dependant on a public education system that is widespread, deep and available to all children.

Pie poll for peckish voters ▶ SURREY MAYORAL CANDIDATES PAIRED WITH PASTRIES KEVIN DIAKIW

The latest poll in Surrey’s mayoral race has independent candidate John Edwards in the lead. The British Store and Sherlock’s Cafe at 13369 72 St. started a pie poll last month, featuring all of the mayoral candidates in the upcoming

race represented by a different kind of savoury pie. Store owner Andy Bradshaw said the pastry poll was started as soon as candidates were announced. As of Oct. 28, Edwards (steak and kidney pie) was at 41, outstripping Surrey First’s Linda Hepner (chicken) by five. Close behind Hepner was Doug McCallum (chicken and mushroom) at 32, Barinder Rasode (steak) at 28, Vikram Bajwa (steak and Guinness) at 27 and

John Wolanski (cheese and onion) at 21. All candidates were paired with the pies by random draw. Bradshaw points out nothing should be read into the character of the candidate and the contents of their corresponding pie. Unlike the single ballots on Nov. 15 at the civic election, peckish pie purchasers can buy as many as they want. The results of the pie poll are accurate within 4.6 per cent, 19 pies out of 20.

Thomas, Laura IND

Occupation: Mom & Author Key issues: 1. More teachers 2. More education assistants 3. People before stuff

I am FOR: smaller class sizes; more special needs education assistants; qualified physical education teachers, music teachers, librarians, ESL teachers, and counsellors employed full time at every school; manageable class composition; corporate partnerships. I am AGAINST: spending our limited resources on new buildings, new computers, miscellaneous initiatives, and other “stuff ” before adequately dealing with class size and composition; screen-based playtime during instructional hours; stressful classroom conditions. People must come first at budget time. Computers don’t teach our kids, people do.

Val Windsor IND*

Occupation: Retired teacher Key issues: 1. increased, sustainable funding 2. class composition 3. special needs support

Delta trustees must continue to advocate for a new funding formula that actually reflects the true costs of educating its students. This means that all students will learn in classes that have workable, balanced class compositions and reasonable student numbers that enable the classroom teacher to reach every child. I have been actively involved with BC’s education system for more than 40 years. I have in-depth knowledge of our public school system that I have put to use at the local Board level. It would be an honour to again serve the citizens of Delta as a school trustee.

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

▶ TO HELP CITIZENS MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE AT THE POLLS, THE LEADER ASKED ALL CANDIDATES – FOR MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD – TO PROVIDE THEIR NAME, OCCUPATION, TOP THREE ISSUES AND 100 WORDS BRIEFLY DESCRIBING THEIR PLATFORM AND PLANS IF ELECTED. HERE ARE THEIR UNEDITED RESPONSES:

McCallum, Doug SCC Occupation: Business Consultant Key issues: 1. Public Safety 2. Transportation 3. Fiscal Responsibility I believe that Surrey needs to get back to simple government that provides good services for residents within a responsible fiscal framework. Public safety is at the top of my priority list. Surrey immediately requires more RCMP and bylaw officers for an increased presence on our streets. Greater public transparency and investment in tackling the root causes of crime are also necessary. Surrey needs a strong champion for transportation investment from the federal and provincial governments, and an end to wasteful spending at City Hall. As the former Mayor, I will bring experience and leadership back to the city.

Occupation: Councillor, City of Surrey (nine years) Key issues: 1. Public safety 2. Transportation 3. Sustainable economic development I want Surrey to reach its potential as a great place to live and work by continuing to attracting new families, new businesses and new investment. People need to feel safe, and I am committed to 130 more officers on patrol in the next 24 months, while tackling root causes of crime including addictions, mental health and homelessness. I will also advocate for the establishment of a secure Mental Health Facility in Surrey, and have committed to Phase One of a new Light Rail Transit line to be completed by 2018. Under our Build Surrey: the Next Generation program, we’ll add even more rinks, parks, pools, playgrounds and fields for future generations.

Rasode, Barinder OS Occupation: City of Surrey Councillor Key issues: 1. Crime 2. Transportation 3. Smart, Responsible Growth We must fix Surrey’s crime problem and make public safety our number one priority. The wait-andsee approach hasn’t worked. The One Surrey plan includes reducing response times by 50 %, doubling the number of officers on the road, hiring 200 community safety personnel, including bylaw officers, implementing a Community Court to help chronic offenders, and providing more addictions and mental health resources. Getting people and goods moving across the city is also important, as is managing growth in a smart and responsible way. To accomplish these goals, we have to control spending at City Hall and improve accountability.

Rice, Grant IND Occupation: Marketing & Community Engagement Manager, Education and Planning Coordinator Key issues: 1. The Influence of Developers on Council 2. Electoral Reform 3. Climate Change and Food Security I concede that crime is the number issue in this election. However, politicians can’t solve crime. We need to start by rebuilding our communities and looking after each other. We need to lift families out of poverty so that young people have a chance to succeed. We need to tackle the issues of addiction and mental health. Surrey needs a council that does not owe favours when they arrive in office. We need a ward system so that communities have a voice on council. We need solid environmental stewardship, and a council that can say no to harmful development.

Wolanski, John IND Occupation: None listed Key issues: 1. Social issues 2. Ward system 3. Crime-Civil City My platform comprises the addressing of the social issues in our city, and how it relates to the crime statistics. I plan to lobby for the re-opening of Riverview if elected, as well as an eight-community ward system.

The exhibit features Indian troops on the Western Front, where Canadians forged a proud military tradition in battles such as Vimy Ridge, and highlights the pivotal role that Sikh soldiers played as the war began, noting the shared heritage with Canadians and other allied powers. The exhibit’s creator, Steven Purewal, says the role of India’s military force, particularly soldiers from the Punjab region, was substantive; more than 74,000 Indian troops were killed in the First World War, a heritage shared with Canada and its 66,000 lives lost during the war. “As part of the war effort, South Asians made a significant contribution, and today, communities across Canada have little or
