Burnaby city hall is proposing to raise taxes by 2.98 per cent this year, mainly to cover the costs of wage increases.

The figure is down from its initial proposed increase of four to five per cent, which was reduced after city staff found areas where the budget could be trimmed, said Coun. Dan Johnston, chair of the city’s financial management committee.

A public consultation process will be held seeking input on the provisional budget, which must be finalized in May. The tax increase is mainly to cover pay raises for RCMP, which are dictated by the federal government, firefighters, whose contract is still under negotiation, and CUPE staff, he said at Monday’s council meeting.

Additional hits to the city’s expenses include increased utilities costs. see PROPERTY, A7

Hip Hop Happening Students at Westridge Elementary performed their hip hop routines at an assembly Friday, after getting guidance from the troupe One Vibe (below) during the week. Students and parents packed the gym to watch the show.

Each house can only have one suite ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

The owners of those homes will then be notified that, starting in 2016, they will be charged extra for city utilities such as water and sewer service, and garbage and recycling pick-up.

Those property owners will then have several months to refute the claim and allow city staff to inspect the homes to confirm a suite does not exist.

“Otherwise we start charging people,” Jordan said.

“If they don’t want to be charged, then they have to prove

it to us they don’t [have a suite].”

That’s in response to the public consultation process for the program in which residents opposed suites because their owners don’t pay their fair share of the city services they use, she explained.

As for the incentive to go through the expense and effort of the legalization process, Jordan said illegal, unauthorized suites will continue to be treated the same way they were before the program began.

That is, all it will take for city inspectors to shut down a suite

is a single complaint from a neighbour.

“But if they legalize it then there’s no justification for that [action] anymore,” she said.

Instead, there would be a process to address complaints.

“Then, [under the old regulations] the only avenue was get rid of it. Now, the avenue is make it legal and legitimate, then you don’t have to get rid of it.”

The complaint system will still be in effect regarding duplexes, which are still banned from having suites.

That’s because the safety

upgrades required, such as firewalls between the two sides of the duplex, are cost prohibitive, Jordan said.

And each house can only have one secondary suite. City hall will continue to crack down on houses with multiple illegal units.

The program’s first year also saw 581 existing “in-law” suites—a grandfathered type of suite in which only family members are allowed to live— made legal or are in the process to become authorized.

The work includes $175,000 for improvements to exhibits and accessibility, $75,000 for repairs and maintenance to museum heritage buildings and $200,000 for continued development of the trail system in the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.

Four playgrounds will be upgraded, at Ledingham, McKay, Squint Lake and Taylor parks, at a cost of $160,000.

Footbridges, stairways, retaining walls and safety railings will be replaced within trails at city parks, including Robert Burnaby, Stoney Creek and Byrne Creek ($90,000).

Food scraps program could be a money saver for schools District expecting cut to cost of garbage disposal Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

While some school districts are incurring extra costs under new rules banning food scraps from garbage, the opposite is expected to be true in Burnaby.

As of Jan. 1, Metro Vancouver has banned food waste from garbage. School District 43, which includes schools in the Tri-Cities, will have to find $63,500 to pay for organic waste pick-up next year to meet the new regulations, according to the TriCity News.

The cities of Port Coquitlam and Port Moody already have arrangements with the district to pick up the organic waste as

part of programs in schools started a few years ago. But that’s not the case at schools in Coquitlam and Anmore, where the municipalities are not providing that service, resulting in the district having to contract a waste hauler to do so.

Burnaby school district, on the other hand, expects to save money.

It started with pilot food scraps collection programs at several schools in 2012.

Today, all but 15 of the district’s 41 elementary and eight secondary schools are outfitted with the required bins, said Russ Sales, the district’s director of facilities.

The implementation should be complete by the end of this school year.

The move to separate and collect food scraps for

composting is aimed at helping Burnaby city hall do its part to meet the regional goal of diverting 70 per cent of garbage by 2015, extending the life of the region’s landfills.

The City of Burnaby collects all the district’s waste and delivers the garbage to Wastech’s facilities for dumping, paying tipping fees according to the amount of waste dropped off.

“The more you reduce the bulk garbage by following a food scrap program, the less net cost to have it dumped at [disposal company] Wastech there is, which offsets your costs for the food scraps collection portion,” Sales said.

Further savings can come through collecting regular garbage less frequently, once every two weeks, while the organic waste

would still be picked up weekly.

Less garbage also means a need for fewer containers to hold it all, each of which comes with rental, pickup and dumping fees, he said.

The cost of dropping the organic waste at the regional composting facility is much less than dump fees for garbage destined for landfills or the incinerator, he added.

Sales believes there is a potential for cost savings although he still has to work out how much.

He’s still tweaking the number and size of bins used by the district in an effort to get the lowest rental rates possible.

He hopes to have it figured out by the end of February so it can be factored into the district’s budgeting process.

“It’s not going to have a huge impact on the budget at this point, I don’t think.

It’s not going to be a million dollar savings,” Sales said. “It’s like energy conservation, once you’ve got it implemented and control it, it’s an ongoing net savings over the lifetime of the operation.” twitter.com/WandaChow

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Pamela Findling was one of many New Westminster residents inspired by a particularly glorious sunrise late last month who posted their photos to Twitter. This one was taken from her condo in Downtown New West, looking down river.

“In the middle of me rushing around to get ready in the morning,” she says, “my son stopped me and said ‘Whoa! Look at the view.’ Definitely worth pausing to enjoy.’

Traffic management It comes as no surprise to penny-pinching drivers that tolling the Port Mann Bridge while leaving other Fraser River crossing options free would result in a wholesale desertion of the new bridge.

While it seems illogical to drive well out of your way to save $3 a trip, for most people, that’s a hefty chunk of cash on a monthly basis.

In fact, thousands who do cross aren’t even paying the toll, racking up hundreds or thousands of dollars in debt, and forcing ICBC to be a sort of toll nanny.

Short of moving closer to work to avoid bridge tolls, commuters will simply opt for other routes.

Taking the aging Pattullo, for instance.

Now the Port Mann’s operator, TI Corp., is considering a loyalty program to boost bridge traffic, but that’s just a Band-Aid effort.

Meantime, New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté has proposed to reduce the toll at the Port Mann and charge the same, lower amount at the Pattullo Bridge as well, even though work has not yet begun on its $1-billion replacement.

“There would be less vehicles diverting off the highway network to the Pattullo Bridge and onto roads not designed for that purpose and you’d have more revenue generated and an ability to have a lower toll on the Port Mann Bridge,” Coté said.

He said that would bring a net benefit while still recognizing that money needs to be generated to support both crossings.

“Having a toll bridge and a free alternative three kilometres down the road is not very efficient from a transportation point of view.”

Tolling the Port Mann and not the Pattullo may make sense from a funding point of view.

But it makes no sense from a traffic management perspective.

It’s time the planners looked at the big picture and put traffic management first. Because as it stands today, everyone loses.

Homegrown terrorism on front burner A lengthy trial which began Monday will provide a window into what will likely be one of the top issues in Canada this year— homegrown terrorism.

John Nuttall and Amanda Korody, who lived in Surrey, are charged with making or possessing an explosive device, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and knowingly facilitating terrorist activity.

The charges relate to homemade pressure-cooker bombs planted outside the B.C. Legislature on July 1, 2013. They were to go off and kill or injure people celebrating Canada Day. The lengthy trial is occurring at the same time as a trial in Ontario is getting underway.

That involves two men who planned to damage a railway bridge as a Via Rail passenger train was passing by. According to prosecutors, they wanted there to be significant casualties from the destruction. Court in Toronto was told they were motivated by Muslim extremism.

Nuttall and Korody were apparently also motivated by recently converting to the Islamic

Frank Bucholtz faith. However, Nuttall’s mother said outside court on Monday that the pair were incapable of committing any terrorist acts.

Their guilt or innocence will be determined by the jury.

On Friday, the federal government announced it would bring in legislation to give the Canadian Security Intelligence Service more power to monitor Canadian residents whom it believes may be susceptible to influence from groups like ISIS or Al-Qaeda.

The proposed new powers are already proving controversial, with a number of civil liberties groups speaking against allowing the agency more power without more outside oversight.

The tragic incidents of last fall, in particular the running down of Warrant Officer Patrice

Vincent in Quebec, had links to the radical view of Islam being trumpeted by ISIS, and brought homegrown terrorism into sharp focus for many Canadians. The attacks on Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and on Parliament may have been the act of a mentally ill man, but ISIS was quick to praise them and call for more attacks on Canadians.

The incidents which are now subjects of the two trials, had not brought the issue to the forefront, likely because neither of them was successful.

The federal government is also under some pressure in Parliament over the role played

by Canadian troops in Iraq, but to most Canadians, the parliamentary debates are merely splitting hairs.

They recognize quite instinctively that there are people who do not like the way of life we have in Canada. When they find out that some of them are Canadian citizens who have grown up here, but would now rather be in Syria or Iraq killing civilians and taking part in horrible brutalities, they are quite

ready to give the government the benefit of the doubt.

As this is an election year, this topic will likely be top of mind for most of 2015. The two trials and the ongoing brutality of ISIS ensure that the issue will stay on the front burner.

Canadians need to be aware that, in an era where it is just as easy to send a message to someone on the other side of the world as it is to speak to someone in the next room, there are some young people who are at risk of being caught up in an inexplicable enthusiasm for terrorism.

This issue will be with us for some time. It has nothing to do with the election, but politicians will bring it into the equation.

However, it does have a great deal to do with our way of life, with the actions our military are called to undertake and with the peace and stability that we in Canada cherish – and far too often take for granted.

COMMENT Councillor, mayor not in harmony Re: Riverside residents rail against rural neglect (NewsLeader, Jan. 30) City Coun. Pietro Calendino has snorted his reply loud and clear regarding his long-standing disdain for the Riverside community.

We have issues of area cleanliness, garbage, drugs, poor lighting, and so on.

Mr. Calendino does not provide any empathy. Shame Mr. Calendino. Your disdain is in sharp contrast from our leader Mayor Derek Corrigan.

In the city’s Winter 2015 public newsletter, on the front page is Mayor Corrigan’s letter.

Most significant is the last paragraph.

“As a Council, you have trusted us to work with you to lead Burnaby toward achievement of the goals that you have helped to set. I

promise you—and all Burnaby citizens—that we will not let you down.”

He goes on to say, “Together we will ensure that Burnaby remains a shining example of a city that respects all viewpoints, embraces the unique invaluable diversity of its citizens, and stays focused on efficiency as we create new programs, developments and initiatives in our exciting, welcoming, and economically stable community.”

Mr. Calendino I do not believe you have read the Mayor’s message.

If you have, then your response and attitude clearly says that you do not agree with or believe in what he has to say.

ISN’T THAT HYPOCRISY? Mayor Derek Corrigan is complaining that Kinder Morgan “may” be using some of the service fees granted by the National Energy Board to Kinder Morgan to pay for advertising associated with the pipeline expansion.

Yet the City of Burnaby is using tax revenue from residents of Burnaby to pay for the negative advertising the city is generating to fight against Kinder Morgan and the pipeline expansion.

Isn’t that hypocrisy?

Corrigan noted Burnaby’s returns beat what is offered by the Municipal Finance Authority of B.C. (MFA).

While Burnaby’s yields for different types of investments ranged from 1.79 to 5.09 per cent, the MFA managed returns of 0.74 to 3.15 per cent, the staff report said.

Corrigan made a point of explaining the state of the city’s finances to a group of Burnaby Scouts attending the meeting.

“We’re a very unusual city, we don’t owe any money. Most governments owe and borrow money. We save money. Every time we buy a new fire truck we begin saving to buy a new fire truck [to replace it],” Corrigan said.

Niccoli-Moen was one of two finalists for the job, along with Kaardal, in 2012 when an extensive nationwide search was conducted.

“So it was just natural for us to go with her, we’re very excited about having her,” Burton said.

“She has a different perspective in terms of looking at the district,” he said. Niccoli-Moen’s “very deep roots in the community,” will help the district build similar connections across the city.

“We expect a NiCColi-MoeN change in direction,” he said. “She’s just a different personality and Kevin was a very bright man, very capable, and a good technician. I think she has a big personality that will attract different kinds of people to our district.”

Burton called the change “an exciting time” for trustees and district staff. “The whole board is behind her and supports her and looks forward to working with her.”

Niccoli-Moen has worked for the district for the past 24 years in increasingly senior roles.

Burnaby school district didn’t have to look far for a replacement after the departure of superintendent Kevin Kaardal on Monday.

School board chair Ron Burton said in an interview he could not speak about personnel matters, which are confidential. But he said Kaardal’s departure was “mutually agreed upon” and “pretty sudden.”

In a press release Monday evening, kaardal Burton said he “commends Mr. Kaardal for the leadership and exemplary service provided to the Burnaby school board over his past eight years of service.”

Kaardal became the district’s superintendent and CEO in December 2012, after serving as assistant superintendent for five years.

On Tuesday, the board appointed the district’s deputy superintendent Gina Niccoli-Moen to the superintendent’s post.

Mayors hit transit referendum campaign trail Voters urged to say Yes to 0.5 per cent tax for expansion

Station where they highlighted the broad expansion of transit service that would come under their plan, while emphasizing that a No vote will leave residents increasingly stuck in traffic.

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson pitched the tax as a minimal cost – 35 cents a day per household – to deliver key upgrades ranging from a light rail network in Surrey, to a subway along Broadway, more SeaBus service and 11

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver mayors formally kicked off their referendum information campaign in support of a new 0.5 per cent sales tax Monday, saying it’s critical to the future of the region to improve transit and transportation.

Several mayors rode transit to Waterfront

new B-Line express bus routes.

“Our constituents have told us to fix the transit and transportation problems plaguing our growing communities,” said Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore.

“Wasted time sitting in traffic jams, pass-ups by full buses or having no buses at all costs everyone.”

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said congestion now costs the economy $1 billion a year and that

will rise to $2 billion without the promised improvements.

Mayors are promising to bring their campaign experience in town hall meetings and on social media to hammer home the message.

Hepner said environmentalists, business leaders and students all “get” the need for the transit expansion but said she believes more work is needed to convince seniors in particular.

“I’m not sure if they

actually understand that it means more HandyDart service as well as more bus service,” she said.

Better bus service – a 25 per cent increase is promised to happen relatively quickly after a Yes vote – would mean much more of the region’s residents will live close to a frequent service route, with buses guaranteed at least every 15 minutes all day.

Surrey stands to gain from the light rail lines that would connect Guildford and Newton to City Centre and run southeast down Fraser Highway to Langley City.

“By the time light rail is finished, 200,000 of our residents will be within walking distance of rail,” Hepner said. “That will be significant in

removing folks from their vehicles.”

She highlighted the promised new Pattullo Bridge – even though it would be largely funded by tolls – and various road widening projects for motorists and goods movement.

But she also said people who drive and don’t use transit need to realize they still benefit if there’s less traffic clogging the road in front of them, or if there’s an opportunity for their family to go from two cars to one.

There was little mention of TransLink at the launch – No campaigners have sought to raise the spectre of more money going to what they claim is a wasteful transportation authority.

FINAL Hepner said

independent audits will ensure the money raised from the 0.5 per cent congestion improvement tax would only go to the projects identified by the mayors’ plan.

She said she’ll urge voters to “think in the broadest way possible of what’s in the best interests of the region” and not focus solely on anger with TransLink.

Asked if the mayors are considering further steps to assure voters it won’t be business as usual at TransLink, Hepner noted she and Robertson, the new chair of the mayors’ council chair, will now sit on the TransLink board.

Ballots are expected to go out in mid-March and are supposed to be mailed back by May 29. jnagel@blackpress.ca

is a little vague and has a notchy engagement feel, but I did like the cue ball style shift leaver.

While official fuel economy numbers were not available, Jeep is expecting a combined fuel rating of about 8.1 L/100km, which would be excellent. The 4x4 versions of Renegade also feature a unique disconnecting rear axle feature that should provide fuel economy numbers that are close to the 4x2 versions.

Tek-Tonic is what Jeep designers dubbed the Renegade’s funky yet functional interior. The Wrangler theme is also evident inside and includes the requisite passenger grab handle. It’s a softer, more comfortable Jeep people place with practical features such as the fold-forward front-passenger seat and a removable, reversible and height-adjustable cargo floor panel.

Renegade is also tall folk friendly with oodles of headroom, so they could even wear a hat. A minor tall-roof drawback was noted, however, when I tried to reach for a distant sun visor above the upright windshield.

Jeep claims Renegade has up to 70 standard and available safety and security features. There are seven standard air bags, including a driver’s knee air bag. On top of that you can layer an impressive list of optional active safety features that includes Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, ParkView and a Rear Backup Camera.

Driving both the Z06 with a manual or the new 8-speed automatic is a jolt of adrenaline that should be bottled and sold. The howl from the 650hp 6.2L supercharged V8 is a sweet sound from inside the car and even more threatening outside the car. The traction is uncanny and the cornering grip unshaken due to massive Michelin tires and race ready Michelin Cup tires on the Z07 trim. The brakes are very surefooted even lap after lap. What is fun is using the manual transmission with re-matching, letting the car automatically blip the throttle of downshifts.

Verdict The top dog is the Z07 package that includes ceramic brakes, the competition tires, more aerodynamic effects and a forty percent stiffer ride. This is the car to get if you are a track rat or take part in weekend club events.

But with roughly eighty five percent of Corvette buyers driving exclusively on the road, the Z06 offers the perfect balance of on-road livability with the extra punch for a little fun, the styling is also a major plus. The automatic is very quick on the track and opens up the Z06 to a new set of buyers but the 7-speed manual is so easy to live with, I’d stick with the stick.

The price isn’t cheap but it is a bargain in the supercar world. Starting at $85,095 and topping out at $96,915 for the Z06, or an additional $8795 for the Z07 package. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 650hp from a supercharged 6.2L V8 Fill-up: 15.7L/10.6L/100km (city/ highway) Sticker price: $85,095

Pay parking at hospitals under fire Fraser board chair says get used to it Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fraser Health is defending its policy of charging for pay parking at most of the region’s hospitals to generate additional revenue.

The policy – long denounced by hospital users as a heartless cash grab – came under fire again at a Jan. 29 meeting of Fraser’s board of directors in South Surrey.

Langley Township resident Harold Nagy demanded to know why Delta and Mission don’t have “this B.S. about pay parking” while patients and visitors must pay at other hospitals.

Delta and Mission are the only two municipalities that have bylaws that prohibit pay parking at hospitals.

“They should all be free,” Nagy said, adding the charges make some patients worry they’ll run out of time and be fined.

“It’s a place of necessity when you go there. It’s not like going

CHOICEquotes Karen Matty, FHA board chair ...Parking seems to be becoming a premium here in B.C., especially the Lower Mainland. And I think we are all getting used to that fact.

out for supper.”

About a third of the $8 million money from pay parking goes to maintain the lots and the rest goes into the authority’s budget for patient care.

“Personally, I wish it could be consistent,” Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty told Black Press. “But we do not write bylaws in the various communities.”

The Canadian Medical Association Journal once likened pay parking to an unfair user fee that can add stress for patients and disrupt their care if they have to go out and feed a meter.

Fraser provides free parking passes for renal dialysis patients and grants other financial hardship parking permits on a case-by-case basis.

For everyone else, Matty

predicts hospital pay parking is here to stay.

“Having to pay for parking is something that people need to get their head around,” she said.

“I don’t want to pay for parking. But parking seems to be becoming a premium here in B.C., especially the Lower Mainland. And I think we are all getting used to that fact.”

Part of the rationale for pay parking is it spurs stall rotation, so some spaces are available when patients and visitors need them and aren’t hogged all day by users from surrounding businesses.

Parking costs average $3.50 an hour at most hospitals in the Fraser region, although that starts at $4.25 at Burnaby, Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals, while hourly rates are lower in the eastern Fraser Valley – $2.50 in Abbotsford, $1.75 in Chilliwack and free in Hope.

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said he can’t recall his council ever being asked to outlaw pay parking at Peace Arch Hospital.

Vancouver’s largest free seminar for new home buyers Looking to buy a home at any stage of life can be intimidating as much as it is exciting, especially for first-time homebuyers.

Whether armed with plenty of questions that need answers, or just in need of a brush up on what a successful home purchase looks like, the silver lining is that no one has to do it alone. There is a wealth of knowledge out there to help, and

it can all be found in one spot at Vancouver’s largest free seminar for new homebuyers, useful to anyone who wants up-to-the-minute market information.

This year the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) is offering consumers a choice of two nights at two transit friendly locations: City Hall in Surrey and SFU Downtown Campus Harbour

Centre in Vancouver.

“Purchasing a home – whether for the first time buyer or someone who hasn’t been in the market in a while – can be a complicated process,” says GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit. “We wanted to bring together experts in the field - in one spot, at the same time - who have information not available anywhere else to the average home buyer, such as where

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

the buyer’s markets are and how to tell whether a new home is properly warrantied.”

The industry experts are able to provide guidance and explore topics including: Where are the buyer’s markets? Where do sellers’ have the upper hand? How to pick the right realtor and ensure interests are aligned? How do recent changes to lending rules impact a homebuyer’s ability to find financing? How to find the best mortgage rate? How do operating costs of home ownership impact purchasing decision? What role do lawyers play in the closing process? If homebuyers opt to buy new, what sort of warranty should the home have?

“The goal of most home buyers is to buy a well built home for the right price: no more, no less. The trick

is finding a deal that meets your expectations,” says de Wit. “There is a wealth of information out there – especially online -- about buying a new home. The challenge is making sense of it all and knowing whether what you’re looking at is relevant to you in particular, and whether the source of the information is credible.

This interactive seminar allows prospective buyers to learn from -- and put their questions to -- recognized experts to help every attendee map out a plan for an ideal home purchasing experience.”

Although this seminar is free, preregistration is required. For more information and to register online, visit www.gvhba.org or call 778-5654288. In lieu of a charge, attendees are asked to bring a food item for the Surrey Food Bank.

Surrey is the next big thing: a smart, youthful, growing city—and the ideal location for Bosa Properties to unveil the future of urban living

Amazing address in the Heart of the New City Centre It’s more than just a tower; it’s the beginning of a community.

University District by Bosa Properties is located in the heart of Surrey’s City Centre and marks Bosa’s emergence onto the vibrant Surrey scene.

Alumni is the first in a series of head-turning towers that define University District’s futureforward character. The transit-oriented neighborhood continues to evolve and is in close proximity to parks, shopping, cafes, SFU’s Surrey campus and 500 metres from the Central SkyTrain station.

First-time home buyers, students, parents purchasing for children, as well as investors can all get excited about the future of Surrey City Centre and what will surely be the frontrunner in innovative condo living.

Buyers can now expect to live with more space for less. University District is introducing the future of urban living with flexible home layouts and the highly popular design EgZhZci^c\ Hedchdg/

concept, BosaSPACE™ “It allows residents to live large in their one and two bedroom homes,” says Marketing Manager, Courtney Osinchuk. “Our buyers love that they are getting a level of quality that is unmatched.”

University District is revolutionizing the condominium living experience by offering living spaces that are unlike anything available on the market today.

BosaSPACE™ homes anticipate the changing needs of homeowners by simply shifting the layout to suit the desired purpose of the living area. Entertaining is made easy, a long-table dining experience is conveniently possible and everyday comforts are just a slide away.

Whether you want to rest, dine or lounge, it’s your space to imagine and move.

“The SleepTHEATRE™ allows for a sliding TV shelving system, which reveals a daybedsofa to seat three or a spare bed for an overnight guest. The ExtenTABLE™ is a kitchen island that extends to seat eight for long table dining,” says Osinchuk. “University District has more value for its homeowners – you are basically getting three homes in one.”

It is the future of interior design unfolding right in your living room.

Offering a total of 310 homes, one-bedroom homes with 500 square feet, includ-

ing BosaSPACE™ design currently start at $221,900 while two-bedroom homes with 680 square feet and BosaSPACE™ design start at $324,900.

The reputable Bosa Properties continue to transform condo living and revolutionize the way space can be used, with its intelligent design and modernized approach to development.

University District and the Alumni tower are ahead of the curve and here to stay.

The show home is located at 13409-104 Ave, Surrey. The Alumni tower is located directly across the street at the corner of University Drive and 104 Ave. For more information, visit: bosaproperties.com
