$24.3M EXPANSION FOR SURREY COURTHOUSE ▶ NEW INTEGRATED SERVICES NETWORK WILL MANAGE COMPLEX CASES LAUREN COLLINS

As first promised by the province last year, Surrey will be receiving a multi-million dollar expansion to its courthouse, B.C.’s attorney general has announced. At a press conference Thursday in Surrey, B.C. Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton confirmed Surrey Provincial

Court will undergo a $24.3-million expansion that will include three additional courtrooms and two more hearing rooms. Construction will start in early 2016 and is set to be completed in 2017. In April 2013, five municipalities, including Surrey, Abbotsford, the City and Township of Langley and Chilliwack, entered into a memorandum of understanding with the province for the provision of more courtrooms over 20 years. Last year, Surrey was identified as a top priority for expansion. The long-term plan for Surrey includes a total of eight more courtrooms. The city’s population has grown 60 per

cent since 1991 when the Surrey courthouse was first built, Anton said, and is expected to double in the next two decades. “With these kind of numbers come all the benefits and challenges that big cities encounter,” Anton said. “Some of these challenges involve the justice system where Surrey’s tremendous population growth has put pressure on the courts. We want to change that.” The Surrey courthouse, which hears a high volume of provincial civil small claims cases, is second only to Vancouver Provincial Court in terms of caseload. Surrey-Tynehead Liberal MLA Amrik Virk said the expansion is what the city and its

citizens have asked for. “We listened. We heard what you wanted as a community and it’s about promises made and promises kept,” Virk said. But Surrey-Newton NDP MLA Harry Bains criticized the news, saying Surrey deserves more than three new courtrooms at this time. “I hoped to see some meaningful action from the attorney general today, but all we got was three out of the five courtrooms she already announced last year,” Bains said. continued on page 3

Referendum Questions: Will the plan actually ‘cut congestion?’ ▼ PROPOSED PROJECTS WILL PREVENT WORSE GRIDLOCK IN THE FUTURE, PLANNER SAYS JEFF NAGEL

“Yes” forces claim the 10-year plan of proposed upgrades will “cut congestion” and the document itself says drivers will “spend less time stuck in traffic.” The plan projects round-trip time savings once the projects are complete of 15 to 20 minutes per day for drivers on some routes, such as Langley to Metrotown or the North Shore to Tsawwassen, and 20 to 30 minutes for transit commuters. But rarely do yes campaigners make it clear that improvement is not compared to current conditions, but to the congestion that will exist 10 years from now if the proposed projects don’t proceed and after more population growth. So will drivers face less congestion than they do today if they vote yes? Urban planner Brent Toderian says it’s safer to say the plan will prevent much worse congestion in the future without the upgrades than to claim it will cut road congestion below current levels. “When they say it’s going to cut congestion it doesn’t necessarily mean our roads are going to be 20 per cent more empty,” he said. “What it means is we’re going to be able to move a lot more people in our region – to the benefit of our region’s success in every way we can think of – without being trapped by congestion and gridlock.” The reality is any room freed up on the roads – whether it comes from building new lanes or by some drivers switching to transit as that alternative improves – is expected to fill back up and revert to the same level of congestion, a phenomenon called induced demand in planning circles. But Toderian said while road congestion might not change noticeably from the plan’s investments, boosting the transit system’s capacity so it can carry more people will be crucial because of continued population growth, which is forecast to add a million residents over 30 years. Since Metro Vancouver keeps adding residents – and there is no way to stop them from coming – it needs to ensure a growing proportion of us move by transit, while the number driving remains about the same. “It won’t suddenly make the roads empty,” Toderian said of the plan. “But building more options prevents horrible congestion, as we’ve seen in other places where it’s irrational to be in your car but there’s no other option.” He points to cities in China where people could walk faster than the crawling vehicles but nobody does because the poor air quality makes it too dangerous. continued on page 9

He added the NDP has worked with the community to develop the Surrey Accord, a comprehensive plan meant to tackle crime on the streets and to address its long-term causes. “It’s time the B.C.

complex needs,” Anton said. The Integrated Services Network would focus on cases involving domestic violence, mental illness, substance abuse and prolific offenders. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said the model would allow for a “greater chance of success in re-integrating offenders into positive roles” in society. “What we’re seeing today is an example of what can be achieved when a common goal is paired with meaningful partnerships,” Hepner said. Anton said her ministry is currently in the process of developing a specialized court strategy to determine “future needs for integrated justice initiatives.” The plan is expected to be released in the spring. Meanwhile, the Surrey Crown counsel office is in the process of relocating to the old city hall building next to the courthouse, but Crown counsel will keep a suite in the courthouse for witness waiting and day offices, said Tasha Schollen, the communications director for the justice ministry. Schollen added the Surrey Family Justice Services office will relocate into the vacant space in the courthouse.

A man accused of killing his father in their Surrey home last year has been ordered to stand trial for murder in B.C. Supreme Court. Ryan William Beauchamp was

charged last August after his dad, Edward Allen Bezell, was found dead inside the home where police said both men lived. Surrey RCMP received a call of shots fired in the area of 60 Avenue and 140 Street on Aug. 12, 2014 and arrived at the scene to find Bezell dead. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team took over the case. Beauchamp, who was 29 at the time, was arrested and charged

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday M arch 24 2015

Oversight of Bill C-51 measures is critical There have been numerous protests against the federal government’s Bill C-51, which proposes a number of new measures to combat the prospects of terrorism. The Conservative government has proposed giving additional powers to the RCMP and CSIS, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Many of those protesting say these new powers will strip privacy from many Canadian residents. They also argue that both the RCMP and CSIS do not have sufficient independent oversight. The Liberals have already said they will support the bill, and make amendments if they are elected as the government in the election this fall. NDP

MPs, on the other hand, are stalwart foes of the bill. The different reactions from the two opposition parties speak volumes about the perceptions of this bill. The Liberals are clearly banking on the broad support among Canadians for more counter-terrorism measures. The support comes in the wake of the deadly attack on Parliament Hill last fall and numerous homegrown terror plots. The NDP, on the other hands, is taking its traditional principled approach, in standing up for civil rights over enhanced

RAESIDE

anti-terrorism measures. The principled stance gets them plenty of positive mentions, but often does not translate into votes. Virtually all polls show the NDP will finish third in the election, barring a last-minute shift by voters. The need for enhanced anti-terrorism measures is pretty clear. However, there should be more oversight of both CSIS and the RCMP, should they be granted new powers. At the very least, there needs to be a Parliamentary committee with MPs from all sides taking an ongoing close look at just how these new powers are being used.

Making real progress on poverty BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

The B.C. government has made its most significant moves in decades to address the needs of some of the province’s poorest people. The largest financial commitment is for a new program to help single parents escape from the welfare trap. There are 16,000 single parents in B.C. receiving provincial income assistance or disability payments, most of them women. Even if they could find an entry-level job, it wouldn’t pay enough to cover the child care they would need to go to work. Worst of all, the current system requires that if they enrol in training, they lose their income assistance, including dental and extended medical care for themselves and their children. That is the welfare trap, one of the most perverse government policies to have survived into our supposedly enlightened modern era. The new program takes effect in September. It will not only continue income assistance payments when single parents enrol in skills training, it

promises to cover their child care and transportation costs for an approved training program of up to one year. Medical and child care costs will then be covered for up to a year after training, to allow a transition to employment. Approved training means training for jobs that are identified as in demand, requiring high school and occupation-specific training that can be completed in a year or less. They include retail sales, general office work and assistance jobs in health services. Another overdue policy change is to double the allowable earnings for all income assistance recipients from $200 to $400 a month. This gives people a chance to improve their circumstances by taking whatever part-time or casual work they can manage, without having that little income cut from their already meagre welfare cheques. And then there was the recent decision to end the claw-back of parental child support payments from income assistance payments.

The province has for many years run a costly child maintenance enforcement program to track down (mostly) deadbeat dads and force them to pay at least a token amount to support their children. Now when they pay child support to a single parent on income assistance, they will at least have the satisfaction of knowing the children actually receive the extra benefit. These harsh, historic policies were built around a philosophy that welfare is a temporary last resort, to be withdrawn as soon as some other source of income is identified. That is a valid if unfashionable position to take on behalf of working taxpayers who pay for all this, but it only makes sense if the income assistance recipient has a realistic option. For those who are already in the entry-level job market, the minimum wage goes up 20 cents an hour in September, from $10.25 to $10.45. This

INBOX ▼ WHERE IS THE HELP FROM GOVERNMENT AT TAX TIME? The Canada Revenue Agency’s tax information 1-800 telephone number rings busy. When I finally get through I wait more than 30 minutes to speak to someone who, it turns out, gives me the wrong answer to my tax question. How do I know? I look it up again and again and something just wasn’t right. I called again; same thing, line is busy and when I finally get through again a few days later (again after waiting on hold forever), I get a similar but slightly different answer. Not satisfied with the result, I try a different approach: the CRA online “My Account” service. I register but I have to wait 10 days for them to send me a “code” to finalize my online registration. Once I finally get into My Account, the page that I want is unavailable, the help page for that page is a dead link and the “Change my Return” page for a previous tax year (same as using a T1 Adjustment paper form) states that it is currently experiencing “technical difficulties, try again later.” I tried again later… and again and again and again. Wow. It’s no wonder individuals and small businesses use professional tax preparers. I personally don’t think I should pay someone to do my taxes because I am unable to get help. A person trying to be honest and file a complete and proper tax return is faced with the daunting task of figuring out all the legal-speak in the tax guide because the government… well, they are no help at all.

In response to the article “Beyond the breaking point,” The Leader, March 19. Having served as a paid on-call Surrey firefighter for more than 28 years, I can relate to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Unfortunately, the critical stress division program was not available to our group. I, along with some of my firefighter cohorts, were exposed to disaster and trauma. We just endured it and tried to shake it off – and so life went on. Someone would say “you could have walked away as there was no obligation.” My answer? It was for the good of the community and fellow citizens. Besides this commitment, I had to deal with work other than the Surrey fire department. This pressure I endured from time to time definitely had an effect on my personality – miserable, short-tempered,etc. It may have a been a contributing factor to two failed marriages, not to mention dealing with my handicapped child. I am glad that the powers that be are realizing the nature of this problem in order to find a solution. Peter J. Walters, Surrey

about 8:30 a.m., Surrey Mounties responded to a complaint of a man flashing his privates to two students in a lane way north of 70 Avenue between 190 and 188A Streets. He is described as a Caucasian male, 30 to 40 years old, about 5’10”, with greying hair and wearing dark clothes. Then on March 16 at about 12:30 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a man committing an indecent act on a trail near 70 Avenue and 188 Street as a woman walked her dog in the area. He didn’t say anything, or approach her, but she felt it was

obvious he wanted her to see him. He left the area on his bike riding east on 68 Avenue. That suspect is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 20 years old, with a slim build and short dark hair, wearing a brown hoodie and shorts. He was also riding a BMX-style bike with orange-coloured rims. “While we have not been able to conclusively link these investigations at this early stage, there are enough similarities that caused our analysts and investigators to take notice,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt.

Street-racing charges have been approved against two drivers in connection with a fiery South Surrey crash last December involving a Lamborghini. The charges – announced Wednesday afternoon – stem from a Dec. 22 incident on Highway 99 near 152 Street, which police say could easily have ended in tragedy. “Luckily, no one was seriously injured, however, the consequences of such a high-speed collision on a major arterial roadway in our city could have been catastrophic,” Sgt. Dale Carr said. On the day of the incident, police were called just after 11:30 a.m. after a northbound 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago spun off the road just past the 152 Street overpass and caught fire. When police arrived, firefighters were extinguishing the blaze and

the Lamborghini’s occupants were standing nearby unhurt. Occupants of another vehicle, a 2013 Dodge Viper, were also at the scene. Witnesses described both vehicles as travelling at excessive speeds just before the crash occurred. One witness caught the incident on a dash-mounted camera. The footage shows a Lamborghini, with a Viper close behind, lose control during an attempt to pass. Investigation determined the vehicles had reached speeds of up to 157 km/h. At the time, the Lamborghini driver was issued fines under the Motor Vehicle Act totalling around $700. Should the drivers be convicted, police have asked that both vehicles be forfeited. Edmonton resident Adam Shtay, 27, and Surrey resident Joshua Dally, 31, have each been charged with one count of dangerous operation of motor vehicle while street racing.

The plan predicts the bus system pass-ups that now plague the busiest routes would be virtually eliminated.

Punching new lanes of road through existing neighbourhoods to instead try to make more room for cars would be incredibly expensive, wasteful and damaging, Toderian said. “When you build more capacity into transit, you’re moving people with a lot less public money and a lot less space,” he said. More people and cars doesn’t just mean more time lost getting from point A to B in slow traffic, but also more delays looking for parking in increasingly full lots and residential streets. The space required just to park the forecast 600,000 additional vehicles under a do-nothing scenario is estimated to occupy 22 square kilometres, equivalent to one quarter of Burnaby. Other trends are also important, particularly the densification of the region along transit friendly smart-growth corridors that developers now prefer. The plan projects that even without the new investments, the average Metro resident will drive 10 per cent fewer kilometres per year by 2045 than they do today. That’s because over time more people will be in a position to walk, bike or take transit for more trips, or will have chosen to live closer to where they work. The plan’s proposed upgrades would only cut per-capita kilometres driven by another four per cent. What really makes the difference in the mayors’ long-range plan out to 2045 – delivering

a further 12-per-cent cut – is an assumption that road pricing will be imposed. Apart from economic collapse, Toderian says international experience shows nothing can truly cut congestion other than some form of road user fees. That’s borne out by the free-flowing conditions on the Port Mann and Golden Ears toll bridges, compared to other congested free cross-

Hepner and the City of Surrey’s Manager of Economic Development Donna Jones have returned from Israel after a week-long international academic event called “Brain Tech.” Hepner was hoping to lure companies to come and locate along Surrey’s Innovation Boulevard, a high-tech corridor between SFU and Surrey Memorial Hospital. Hepner said Thursday she signed a partnership agreement with the mayor of Be’er Sheva,

The Hamburglar has done it again. A day after earning the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Third Star of the Week, Andrew Hammond has worked his way into the record book. The Ottawa Senators netminder tied an NHL record last Tuesday night in a 2-1 overtime win over the Carolina Hurricanes, allowing two or fewer goals in his first 12 career starts. Hammond tied a record held by Frank (Mr. Zero) Brimsek of the Boston Bruins, who set the standard in the 1938-39 season. His quest for the record fell short Thursday night, although his unbeaten streak continued. Hammond allowed four goals, but still earned a victory in a huge 6-4 win over the Boston Bruins. On Saturday night, he was in goal again for a 5-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Surrey native has become a huge story in the NHL, forced into the Ottawa goal on Feb. 16 following injuries to both the team’s net minders. On that night, Hammond played in relief of Robyn Lehner, who was injured during a game against the Hurricanes. Two nights later, with number-one netminder Craig Anderson already on the injury list, the Senators gave Hammond his first-ever NHL start and he didn’t disappoint, making 42 saves in a 4-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Nicknamed the Hamburglar while at Bowling Green University – a play on his name and his ability to steal games – the former Surrey Eagle has started all but two games since. He started in eight consecutive games, going 7-0-1 (win-loss-overtime/shootout loss) and earning the NHL’s First Star of the Week honor before Anderson returned to the lineup. Anderson gave up seven goals in two starts – defeating the Calgary Flames 5-4 in a shootout before

losing 3-1 to the Bruins – before the Sens turned back towards Hammond. The 27-year-old, who started the year in the American Hockey League with the Binghamton Senators, now has an amazing 1.65 goals against average with a .947 save percentage. Hammond now has 13 wins and a shootout loss in 14 starts. By earning 27 of a possible 28 points with Hammond in goal, the Senators have moved from 10 points out of a playoff position to just one point back of the Bruins for the final postseason berth in the Eastern Conference.

Falcons fall to Ravens at BC Hockey playoffs ▶ SURREY FEMALE TEAMS COMPETE AT BANTAM, MIDGET CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENTS RICK KUPCHUK

The Surrey Falcons couldn’t get past the Richmond Ravens at the BC Hockey Bantam Female championship tournament in Castlegar, and settled for second place at the six-team tournament. The Falcons won four of six games played at the March 15-18 tournament, and advanced to the championship game before they were blanked 6-0 by the Ravens. Surrey started the round robin with a 3-1 win over the host Castlegar team, getting goals from Danika Pasqua, Alexia Ursua and Rebecca Lim. On the second day of the tournament, the Falcons won twice. Priya Sidhu notched two goals and Pasqua added one in a 3-1 victory over Kelowna, then Surrey romped past Williams Lake 8-0. Pasqua tallied two more goals, as did Jessica Douglas. Rhiannon Bulycz, Emma Hall, Jennider Gardiner and Priya Dhaliwal added a goal each. The Ravens handed Surrey their first loss of the tournament, a 4-3 decision that saw Richmond net the winning goal in the last minute of play. Pasqua scored all three Surrey goals in a loss that knocked

the Falcons from first place. Needing a tie to advance to the championship game, the Falcons got goals from Gardiner and Pasqua for a 2-1 win over the South Island Royals. Surrey finished the round robin with four wins in five games, placing second. Q The Surrey Falcons won their first two games of the Midget Female tournament in Penticton, but fell short of qualifying for the playoff round. Surrey began the tournament with a 3-1 win over Williams Lake. Alyssa Dawidziak, Riley Alexander and Emily La Roue scored for the Falcons. In their second game, they edged the Kamloops Mystix 4-3. Saran Gahan netted the winning goal with two minutes remaining. Sadie Stopplar, Sydney Kreps and Dawidziak also tallied for Surrey. The Falcons went into their final game needing only a tie to clinch first place in their group, but lost 5-0 to the Vancouver Island Impact and were eliminated from the tournament. Tied with the Impact and Williams Lake for top spot in the group with two wins and a loss, Surrey had the poorest goal-differential. In third place in the final group standings, the Falcons were one position out of the playoffs.

A healthy dose of skepticism ▶ SHOULDN’T THESE FOLKS BE AT CHURCH ON SUNDAY MORNING? GOD, NO. BOAZ JOSEPH

On a Sunday morning at a local pub in Fleetwood, several people gather at a table and order breakfast: Sandwiches, veggie egg whites, an eight-ounce sirloin and something called a “cloak and dagger.” Plus lots of gravy and extra ketchup. Although the waitress has just walked away with their order, the mental plates are already full. “Everything is on the table for discussion,” says Marina Sedai, a member of the Surrey/ Langley Skeptics in the Pub. The year-old offshoot of the Vancouver Skeptics has 42 members in its Facebook group, and meets twice a month in Surrey to discuss, disclaim and dispute any number of topics they deem worthy of skepticism or scientific examination. Alien abductions? Check. Distrust of vaccines? Yep. The origins of the universe? Of course. The skeptics are not to be confused with conspiracy theorists – 9/11 “truthers” and those who peddle myths about alien visits and “faked” moon landings. Those are common targets of the skeptics, as are model/actress Jenny McCarthy and those providing unscientific and anecdotal “proof” that measles vaccines cause autism – claims that have been debunked in many scientific studies since the 1990s. The Surrey/Langley Skeptics in the Pub meet twice a month to discuss critical thinking and science.

SPY mission completed

▶ IMAGING TOOL INTENDED TO HELP PATIENTS WITH RECONSTRUCTION FOLLOWING BREAST CANCER SURGERY BOAZ JOSEPH

One final donation has ended a $350,000 campaign to bring an important tool for surgeons who treat breast cancer patients. After a lengthy search for funding, the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre in Surrey has placed an order for the SPY imaging system. “I’m very excited to say we are done,” said Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation (formerly Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation) President and CEO Jane Adams. She explains the technology provides instant images of breast tissue during surgery. “These (the images) can show potential healing problems, enabling the surgeon to take immediate steps to prevent post-surgery complications.” The SPY imaging system involves surgeons injecting a safe fluorescent dye into the body at the start of reconstructive surgery. A laser within the SPY system follows the dye, sending the surgeon

high-quality images of blood flow within vessels, tissue and organs. The images allow surgeons to ensure there is a healthy blood flow circulating to the breast mound so they can precisely reattach blood vessels as well as the breast skin flaps. “It’s (the technology) so dramatic in what it can do for patients,” said Adams. Every month, 650 patients, who are mostly women, visit the Breast Health Clinic at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. The clinic dramatically speeds up the process for diagnosing suspicious masses which show up in routine mammographies. “At the Jim Pattison Centre, everything is done on the same day,” said Adams. Approximately 300 women every year will end up having mastectomies, which are often followed by reconstructive surgery. One local plastic surgeon, Dr. Adrian

Lee, has already been trained on the SPY imaging system, which was tried out recently in Surrey. The SPY system will be among only two in the province – the other at VGH. The last contributor to the fundraising campaign was the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – BC/Yukon, which donated the last several hundred of the $350,000. “We are very pleased to be able to step up to the plate and grant the outstanding $15,500 required to complete the purchase of the SPY equipment,” said Wendy Slavin, CEO of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – BC/Yukon Region. “We are confident that this investment will help ensure better outcomes for women undergoing reconstruction following breast cancer surgery.” “It will make an enormous difference for our patients,” added Adams. - with files from Steph Troughton

ference, but Saurabh Bangar said they’re expecting to “cap it at 100 people” this year. “That way every individual gets quality time with the speakers,” said Bangar, SOAR’s president and CEO. The panel of speakers include motivational speaker Rick Bains, veteran law officer Kal Dosanjh and entrepreneur Manny Padda. Padda, a member of SOAR’s advisory board, has spoken at previous SOAR events and he said he’s “super stoked” to speak at the summit. There will also be workshops on topics such as adversity and community leadership. When SOAR (Success, Opportunity, Achievement and Results) registered as a non-profit organization in December 2012, the group consisted of eight people. It has now grown to more than 20 people on its executive board. The idea for SOAR started when Bangar, and SFU business student, realized there were high school students in financial need. “It hit me that we live in a country with so many opportunities,” Bangar said, but he added that a lot of teens graduating from high school do need financial help to further their education, including his close friends. Because of this, Bangar – along with the rest of SOAR – now helps to provide financial and moral support for students wishing to attend post-secondary school. The SOAR Philanthropic Society summit is March 28 at Kwantlen Park Secondary (132 Street and 104 Avenue). For more information and to register, students can go to www. soarps.org

The chance to hive off a honey of a career ▶ KWANTLEN’S CLOVERDALE CAMPUS TO OFFER B.C.’S FIRST COMMERCIAL BEEKEEPING PROGRAM BLACK PRESS

A new program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) is about to create quite a buzz. The university will introduce B.C.’s first commercial beekeeping program next January and by November 2016, its graduates will have the skills to work in, manage and grow existing beekeeping operations or establish and grow their own diversified cottage beekeeping business of up to 300 hives. “There is a bee shortage in B.C.,” said Jim Pelton, executive director of Continuing and Professional Studies at KPU. “Our aim is to bolster B.C.’s beekeeping industry by providing the training that will allow our students to meet the province’s growing pollination demands.” The program is timely. Pollination-dependent crops comprise

an increasing portion of the B.C. agricultural landscape, with honeybee pollination already responsible for more than $200 million per year in agricultural production. Based on three hives per acre, the province’s 20,000 acres of blueberry farms alone require 60,000 bee colonies for pollination. With only 45,000 commercial bee colonies in B.C., the farms import colonies from Alberta to meet demand. The 16 initial graduates of KPU’s program could increase B.C.’s honey production by $250,000 per year while supporting more than $6 million in agricultural production, even if they just worked part-time managing small 50-colony operations. And those figures would gradually expand, said Pelton, as KPU’s beekeeping program is forecast to grow from 16 students

per year in each of its first three years, to 24 students per year after that. “Our graduates will have the skills to work in, manage and grow existing beekeeping operations or establish and grow their own diversified cottage beekeeping business that could include pollination, honey and apitherapy,” said Pelton.

John Gibeau, president of the Honeybee Centre in Cloverdale, helped develop the program and will be part of the advisory committee of apiculture industry partners who are guiding curriculum development, which will include a work experience practicum. Gibeau, who has 45 years experience as a beekeeper, called the

JOIN IN THE

program a “sweet deal” because it sets up grads for family-supporting careers, plus includes a five-month paid practicum equivalent to a trades apprenticeship. Then there is the profession itself, said Gibeau. He estimates a family can bring in revenue of about $100,000 a year and work until retirement. “A career in professional beekeeping offers the freedom and independence of entrepreneurship, and you’re outdoors where it’s fresh, you’re grounded and you’re surrounded

by nature with your kids. It’s a wonderful career.” From a market perspective, Gibeau says honey continues to gain popularity as the healthiest sweetener, driving worldwide demand and sending prices soaring. Gibeau’s Honeybee Centre offers three-day hobbyist courses and has taught nearly 1,000 people over the years, but fewer than a handful of those have gone on to become commercial beekeepers. Students in the KPU program will receive

instruction in beehive care, bee disease management, bee botany, integrated pest management, livestock production and colony management, food safety, processing, packaging and marketing, and bee business planning, management and growth. Funding of $350,000 for the beekeeping program was provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture through programs delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C.
