DRAMATIC DROP IN FIRE DEATHS: REPORT KEVIN DIAKIW

The number of fire fatalities has dropped dramatically in the province since the launch of a campaign to bring smoke alarms to those most at-risk. Fatalities from residential fires dropped by 65 per cent last year in B.C., according to a study just released by the University of the Fraser Valley, Centre for Social Research. The study, co-authored by Len Garis, Joseph Clare and Sarah Hughan, was released in September and cites provincial statistics from 2012 to 2014. continued on page 4

KIDS’ MENTAL HEALTH UNIT DELAYED UNTIL 2017

▶ 10-BED SURREY PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY WILL STABILIZE POTENTIALLY SUICIDAL CHILDREN AND TEENS JEFF NAGEL

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis

It will take longer than originally thought to open a new 10-bed unit in Surrey to stabilize potentially suicidal children and teens in mental health crisis.

Fraser Health had aimed to open the new Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit (CAPSU) by the fall of 2016, but that estimate has been pushed back to spring of 2017. Health authority officials say they had to wait

for final approval from the province – which did not come until last spring – and have since determined the 2016 target was too optimistic. Once open, the state-of-the-art unit will take children and youth aged six to 17 who are in crisis with acute psychiatric problems for short stays of five to seven days. continued on page 2

Fraser Health is home to more young people than any other health region yet it has no short-stay stabilization unit for youth. Children in crisis must instead go to a six-bed unit in Vancouver at B.C. Children’s Hospital, if it’s available, or else they’re treated in a hospital pediatric ward or in emergency. Adolescents can go to the adolescent psychiatry unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital or one of the adult psych units, which is not ideal. The $4.7-million

CAPSU unit will serve the entire region, nearly tripling the province’s capacity to deal with kids in crisis. It will be built in the old emergency department of Surrey Memorial Hospital. Contributions of $1 million from Cloverdale Paint and $300,000 from Coast Capital Savings through Surrey’s hospital foundation are to enhance the facility with decor, furnishings and other components beyond the basic budget. The foundation has a target of $2 million under its Kids Mental Health Matters campaign at champions forcare.com.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15- to 24-yearolds in B.C. after car crashes. B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil said Fraser Health should reopen an adolescent psych unit in Abbotsford that was shut down in 2009. “Fraser Health has repeatedly stated the new teen mental health unit in Surrey would be open in 2016,” Duteil said. “Telling youth and their families who are in crisis that they’ll have to wait a year and a half for a bed is not safe patient care.” Fraser spokesperson

Tasleem Juma said the adolescent psych unit in Abbotsford was underused and youth who needed it could be treated at Surrey’s adolescent psych unit. So the Abbotsford unit was converted to an adolescent day treatment program. She said the CAPSU unit will be a significant improvement when it opens, but rejected suggestions youth mental health services are unacceptable in the meantime. “No child is turned away,” Juma said. “We have a whole network of services.” An Abbotsford mother with a suicidal daughter in need of inpatient care spoke out at a Fraser Health board meeting last month, demanding swifter action. A coroner’s inquest is planned into the suicides of three people – one of them a 19-yearold – who took their lives after being released from Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Fraser Health hospitals have seen the number of emergency visits by young people with mental health problems double over the past five years.

Another pedestrian struck at Surrey bus stop KEVIN DIAKIW

There was another crash at a bus stop in Surrey Thursday night, which seriously injured two people. At just after 6 p.m. Oct. 8, a white Corvette was travelling north on King George Boulevard near 96 Avenue when it lost control, struck a fire hydrant and crashed into a bus shelter, hitting a pedestrian. The driver fled on foot. A witness at the scene saw the driver flee and followed him a short distance, where the driver was seen getting into a taxi. The witness relayed the information to the police who were able to locate and stop the taxi at 88 Avenue and King George Boulevard. A man who was believed to be the driver of the Corvette was taken into custody by police. The passenger in the car and the pedestrian were taken to hospital in serious condition. As of Friday morning, the pedestrian was in surgery, suffering extensive injuries to his legs. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Alcohol is believed to be a factor. The bus stop crash was the second in Surrey in as many days. Last Wednesday, 22-year-old Evan Archibald was killed when a Jeep driven by a 17-year-old girl struck him while he waited at a bus shelter on Fraser Highway near 156 Street. Archibald was taken to hospital in critical condition, but succumbed to his injuries. The girl who was driving remained at the scene and is cooperating with police. Evan Archibald

Election issue: Pot reform is at stake ▼ IS LEGAL MARIJUANA ABOUT TO BLOOM OR BE NIPPED IN THE BUD? JEFF NAGEL

This election may decide whether Canada makes a historic leap toward marijuana reform or remains a legal battleground between cannabis advocates and a resistant federal government. Under the federal Conservatives, Ottawa has long argued pot is dangerous, unproven as a medicine, and a serious risk to youth if legal access increases. The government has only allowed possession by authorized medical marijuana users after courts ruled in 2000 they have a right to reasonable access. Since then, tens of thousands of Canadians became approved users and many received federal permits to grow it themselves. Cities grew anxious about the explosion of often unsafe legal grow-ops in their midst. That was one reason the Conservatives tried in 2014 to outlaw home growing of medical pot and force users to buy only via mail order from a new group of approved commercial producers. Corporate growers have rushed to carve up the market while pot activists and lawyers have fought to defend and widen the ability for anyone to grow and sell the stuff. Nowhere has that battle been more obvious than in Vancouver, where more than 100 medical pot dispensaries have opened, illegally selling weed in contravention of federal law, but largely left alone by police. Vancouver and other cities aim to regulate retail pot stores themselves. Ottawa wants them closed instead and threatened to send in the RCMP.

Meanwhile, time seems on the side of legalization advocates, who say the drug can be regulated and taxed much like alcohol rather than feeding organized crime. Societal attitudes have shifted as a growing number of voters accept the case for reform. A new Insights West poll found 65 per cent national support to legalize marijuana, with 30 per cent opposed. More than two-thirds believe pot has legitimate health benefits and that legalizing and taxing it would generate needed government revenue, while allowing police to focus on other priorities. As more U.S. states legalize recreational marijuana – Washington has been joined by Colorado, Oregon and Alaska – B.C.’s advocates can increasingly point across the border and argue the sky has not fallen. The Conservatives insist Canada will not follow them down a road that expands drug culture and its risks, instead promising to fund more RCMP anti-drug operations. Conservative leader Stephen Harper upped the rhetoric this month when he called marijuana “infinitely worse” than tobacco in terms of damage to health, a claim contradicted by health experts, though they say pot poses elevated risks for teens. The NDP would immediately decriminalize pot – leader Tom Mulcair says no one should have a criminal record for personal use – and then study further legalization options. The Greens would legalize, ▶ “Oct. 19 is a regulate and tax it. Their pretty big day for platform banks on about $5 billion a year in marijuana tax cannabis policy in revenue.

▶ TRAGEDY TIMES TWO Archibald is the stepson of Greg Drew, who lost his own son in a car crash in 2003. Drew has taken to speaking at schools about road safety ever since and created a fundraising concert and website, Jammin’ 4 Jay Charitable Society, in memory of his son, 17-year-old Jason “Jay” Drew. He said the new loss of Archibald is devastating for the entire family. “You don’t think you’re going to wake up and find your son has died,” Drew told CBC news. “To have lightning strike twice, now our family’s having to go through this again.” There has been an outpouring of support for the family on the Jammin’ 4 Jay website. Jessie Bowles wrote: “I can’t imagine what you are going through and to have to do it again stay strong like you did before you are a great person. You spoke at my school last year. You are such a great person. My thoughts go to you and your wife along with the rest of your family.”

▼ AWARENESS PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN 2012 from page 1

In addition to the decline in fatalities, “present and functioning smoke alarms per 1,000 fires increased by 26 per cent,” the report states. “Fires without any smoke alarms decreased by 17 per cent.” It follows a program launched in 2012 called the B.C. Smoke Alarm Movement, whereby more than 41,000 smoke alarms were distributed to homes throughout the province. About half of those were given to First Nations communities and many of them to seniors. Prior to the initiative, 90 people died in residential fires. That dropped to 60 at the time of the study. Garis, Surrey’s fire chief, said he was surprised by some of the results but also expected a lot of what he saw. “First off, I wasn’t surprised because I saw the United Kingdom death rates decrease substantially over 10 years,” Garis said. “I was surprised to see it happen so quickly (in the local program).” From here, Garis said the city will ramp up the delivery of educational material and the smoke alarms, using tax offices and food banks as mechanisms to get the devices to those at risk. The report comes on the heels of a huge blaze at an apartment complex at 108 Avenue and King George Boulevard on Sept. 30 that took 30 firefighters to extinguish. About 200 people were evacuated, but no one was injured. Garis said the smoke alarms and fire sprinklers all worked the way they were designed. “The unfortunate thing is the fire started on the outside of the building and it spread quickly on the outside of the building to the roof,” Garis said. “The important thing is the safety systems were designed to get people out safely, and that’s what happened.” He’s looking forward to helping build legislation requiring sprinklers on balconies, which he said would have greatly mitigated the damage at fires such as the one on King George. Ten per cent of fires begin on balconies, Garis noted.

▶ RIGHT TO GROW MEDICAL CANNABIS BEING FOUGHT IN THE COURTS from page 3

Under leader Justin Trudeau, the Liberals were the first major party to promise outright legalization and regulation, though they haven’t yet budgeted any tax revenue. They argue legal, tightly regulated marijuana can be kept out of kids’ hands as effectively as booze and cigarettes. “Oct. 19 is a pretty big day for cannabis policy in this country,” says lawyer Kirk Tousaw, who has led multiple challenges of federal marijuana regulations. He credits Trudeau with being most

upfront in promising legalization at a time when many politicians remain gun shy, but believes both the Liberals and NDP would deliver major change. A key issue if reform comes, he said, is whether anyone can grow their own pot – and even sell it at farmer’s markets – rather than just buying from corporate growers and dealers. “My view is if you don’t have a right to grow your own cannabis, you don’t live in a place where it’s actually legal.” A re-elected Conservative government

could face further proliferation of illegal retail stores – forcing Ottawa to either crack down or else concede de facto legalization in parts of the country.

Court challenges continue A Tory victory would also continue the legal chess game between pot proponents and federal lawyers, at a rising cost to taxpayers. The Supreme Court of Canada unanimously ruled in June that medical marijuana can legally be possessed or sold in the form of

cookies, other edibles and derivatives, not just dried bud. So far, the government response has been to permit commercial producers to sell only medical pot oils at a low THC dosage, not other edibles. A Federal Court judge will rule soon on another challenge – also argued by Tousaw – over whether medical patients can keep growing their own pot. That decision could deal another blow to the new commercial production system.

“It could go either way,” Tousaw said. “Even if it’s a win for the patients, what that win looks like is probably going to be strongly influenced by what government is sitting in Ottawa.” A re-elected Harper government confronted by more court defeats could still make medical pot access as difficult as possible by tightly regulating the amount that can be legally possessed or grown. “Every time the courts have held a facet of the medical can-

nabis program in this country to be unconstitutional, the government has responded by doing the absolute minimum it can to comply with what the

court has said,” Tousaw said. Which is why pot reformers prefer a swift victory at the ballot box to clear the legal haze.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader We d n e s d ay O c to b e r 1 4 2 0 1 5

Exercise your right With less than a week to go until the federal election, it’s crunch time for voters. We all need to give serious thought to who we want to lead the country for the next four years. Locally, there are six ridings in Surrey and Delta, and many of the names on the ballot will be familiar to those who have called this area home for any length of time. Dianne Watts, Nina Grewal, Judy Higginbotham, Sukh Dhaliwal, Jinny Sims and others are well-known names in the community. But name recognition alone is not enough to base a vote on. What will these candidates do for the community should they win a seat on Oct. 19? How knowledgeable are they on issues that matter? How strongly will they make your community’s voice heard in Ottawa? Which of them best represents what you see as the best direction,

locally and nationally? Who represents your values as a Canadian? There are no shortage of ways to get to know the issues and where each candidate stands on them: Go to debates, visit campaign offices, visit party websites, call or email the candidates directly or simply stop them in the street and ask. If they really want to represent you – as they insist they do – they will take the time to hear what’s important to you and give their time to fully explain their positions and what’s driving them. Candidates, too, have very limited time left to make their views known, to sell constituents on their abilities to have a positive influence on this community’s and Canada’s future, and bring the needs and wants of both to the forefront. The bottom line is this: Oct.

RAESIDE

19 isn’t just another day. It’s a day that will determine the country’s path forward for a significant length of time – a term during which much can happen, both positive and negative. No doubt, there will be those unhappy with some or all of the decisions of those who are elected to effect change or stay the course. Many are also unhappy with the electoral process altogether and have a jaundiced view of all politicians, regardless of party affiliations. But saying that a single vote doesn’t count is tantamount to saying that all votes don’t count – a position we don’t believe Canadians are ready to embrace. Those who don’t vote have no right to complain. What’s more, they are taking a critical Canadian right for granted. No matter who you choose on election day – vote.

Seeing the forest and the trees BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

There was a flurry of excitement in the B.C. legislature last week, as Delta-South independent MLA Vicki Huntington released documents suggesting that a multinational manufacturing company continued to buy up B.C. farms for carbon offsets after they said last June they would stop. False alarm, as it turns out. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick clarified that three more farms in the Peace and Cariboo region had indeed been bought, but the company was merely following legal advice to close deals on farms that it had already agreed to purchase. The company, British-based cleaning product and pharmaceutical maker Reckitt Benckiser (RB) confirmed this. A company official reiterated that its program to buy farms and replant them with trees is suspended. By the time the B.C. government became aware of this global public relations scheme, thanks to the work of NDP MLA Lana Popham and others, about 10,000 hectares of farmland was already planted with seedlings. RB initially said they were

buying up abandoned and unproductive farms, but local government officials disputed that. RB soon realized that undermining already precarious farming communities was going to provide the opposite of the green publicity they sought, at least in B.C. The company told me it is now looking to switch its carbon offset program to replanting forest areas depleted by pine beetle and fire. I’ll believe that when I see it, but on the face of it, this sounds almost as questionable as converting farmland back to forests. Pine forests need fire to regenerate, so fires have been part of the regeneration of the ecosystem since the retreat of the last Ice Age. Beetle-kill areas are already coming back, and they were never completely denuded in any case, so the notion of manual planting these areas seems impractical. Most are now criss-crossed with deadfall and all but impassible. Another situation that received little public attention was a report issued late this summer by the B.C. Forest Practices

Board about forest stewardship plans. The board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared as required under provincial law by forest tenure holders on Crown land. They are supposed to deal with things like where roads go and how streams are protected. This is the management system put in place in 2003, when the B.C. Liberal government changed its approach to forest management. Gone was the NDP’s infamous seven-volume “Forest Practices Code,” which attempted to micromanage every detail of a timber licence, right down to inspecting for litter left at a logging site. In came “results-based” forest management, where licence holders had to produce a plan showing stream protection and other values. The Forest Practices Board has found these plans often aren’t good for much, although results are generally good when they follow up with on-the-ground audits of actual timber harvest areas.

The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.” Little has changed since a similar finding in 2006. During that time, the forests ministry was turned into Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, with greatly increased responsibility over wildlife, mining, gas drilling and so on. Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, who traveled the province as NDP forests critic in recent years, says the problem now is there just aren’t enough people on the ground to assess what’s going on in our huge expanse of Crown land. Meanwhile the city media covers professional protesters issuing demands about the Walbran Valley. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Where are our moral leaders?

▼ FEAR, SUSPICION AND DIVISION HAVE NO PLACE IN CANADA The niqab issue at civil ceremonies has involved a total of two women. Two people among a population of 35 million Canadians and Stephen Harper is trying to make that a “wedge” issue to win re-election. Then there’s his promise of a “hotline” to report barbaric cultural practices. That sounds Orwellian but that is in the Conservative platform. The Conservatives have re-focused their campaign on suspicion, division and fear. The Quebec National Assembly voted unanimously to call upon Harper to stop using the niqab as a ploy to fan the flames of what Danny Williams (a Conservative) has said is “bordering on racism.” But where are our moral leaders in all of this? Where are the voices of our respected business leaders, our academics, our religious community leaders, our mayors, our premier? The Canada I am so proud of is based upon the values of fairness, respect, unity, neighbourliness and inclusion. There is still time for our moral leaders to take a stand and tell Stephen Harper that appeals to fear, suspicion and

division have no place in Canada. We need only look to history to find examples of what happens when political leaders are allowed to single out individual religions and races without being challenged by true community leaders. Canada needs you to speak up, now. Kim Manning

▼ VOTE FOR A CANADA WE CAN BELIEVE IN Having been a member of the Green party since 1988 and having advocated on behalf of the principles and policies of that party as a candidate in three different elections, I was disappointed to find that the NDP had managed to convince Pixie Hobby, an excellent environmental lawyer and upbeat hard-working member of our community, to represent them in my constituency. I have had to switch allegiances for this federal election and cast my advance poll vote for the New Democrats. Of course, what I’m hoping will be the final outcome, after my fellow Canadians have voted in record numbers, is that we will have a coalition government with the inspirational Elizabeth May as the prime minister. On Oct. 19, let’s get out in record numbers to vote for a Canada we believe in. Steve Chitty, Surrey

▼ ISIS LIKELY ON THE RUN I am sure that ISIS is on the verge of surrender after hearing that Dianne Watts and Stephen Harper are coming after them. Dianne’s reputation as a crime fighter successfully eliminating crime in Surrey no doubt has them already on the run. I will gladly pay for a rifle and a parachute so she can fulfill her dream of going to battle. Wasn’t this the reason she so unselfishly signed on? I am sure it was not the lure of an indexed pension, huge remuneration and other fine perks. Now we can all be safe in our own bedrooms. Thank you Dianne. J.G. Bekei

The next TransLink CEO will be paid significantly less than predecessor Ian Jarvis. The TransLink board and Metro Vancouver Mayors’ Council have agreed on a new salary

range for the position that runs from a minimum of $325,092 to a maximum of $406,364. No bonuses or vehicle allowances will be paid. The Mayors’ Council said it expects the board to recruit a new CEO at no more than $365,000 – the mid-point of the approved salary range. If that happens, the next CEO will be paid at least 15 per cent less than $435,015 Jarvis collected in 2014. That compensation figure includes his $319,244 base salary, $18,100 in car allowance and $97,671 in bonuses, but not pension and regular benefits. TransLink’s board has also eliminated vehicle allowances for all other executives. Executive pay was a key factor that stirred public anger against TransLink leading up to the defeat of this year’s referendum on a sales tax increase for transit. “We believe that by

eliminating bonuses and car allowances, and cutting the number of senior positions at TransLink, we have addressed those concerns,” board chair Barry Forbes said. He said the salary range for the CEO was guided by an analysis conducted by an independent consultant who compared TransLink to other similar public sector employers in B.C. and Canada. “This is a very vital public service and we need good leadership.” Not all mayors supported the new pay range for the CEO. White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin voted against it, arguing it was too high and the maximum should have been cut to $365,000. “I thought some of the comparators they used were too rich and not appropriate,” Baldwin said. He said the consultant based the range in part

on the higher executive pay offered at YVR airport authority, Port Metro Vancouver, B.C. Ferries, the B.C. Lotteries Corp. and B.C. Hydro. Baldwin said the mayors did reject an even higher pay range initially proposed by the consultant and it took some “back and forth” with the board before the final pay range came back that most mayors could accept. “I also recognized there were some concerns about the manoeuvering room – if they found a really good candidate would they be stuck and lose them for lack of $5,000 or something.” The search for a new CEO had been put on hold this summer, at the suggestion of new Communities Minister Peter Fassbender, pending a decision on the pay issue and an exploration of possible governance reforms at TransLink. The recruitment will now resume.

Fassbender said he supports the new pay limits, on the understanding the new CEO is hired at no more than the mid-range. “It is a reasonable salary range,” he said, calling it a significant reduction that is “in keeping with what we see in the public service and in Crown corporations.” Fassbender said he does not intend to make governance changes to TransLink over the short term, but is open to considering recommendations that are expected to come later this year from a new task force on the issue struck by Metro Vancouver. The issue of CEO pay had been a sticking point for area mayors who feared TransLink might hire a new CEO at the same pay as Jarvis if an agreement wasn’t reached to reform executive compensation. Debate among mayors on what is appropriate boiled into the open after a July 23 online job posting by a headhunting firm specified the same base salary and up to 30 per cent bonus for the next TransLink CEO. Jarvis was replaced in February but continues at the same pay as a consultant until his contract runs out. Since his transfer, TransLink has been headed by two interim CEOs – Doug Allen and now Cathy McLay, who is also the chief financial officer. Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation spokesman Jordan Bateman welcomed the end to perks like vehicle allowances, but said the new base salary should not have been increased above what Jarvis was earning after several years in the job.

New commissioners to oversee port truckers ▶ MEDIATORS CORINN BELL, VINCE READY APPOINTED BY B.C. TRANSPORTATION MINISTER JEFF NAGEL

Labour mediators Corinn Bell and Vince Ready have been tapped by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to take charge of B.C.’s Container Trucking Commissioner’s office. Stone named Bell acting commissioner and Ready acting deputy commissioner following the resignation last month of former commissioner Andy Smith. Unionized truckers had accused Smith of dragging his feet on forcing container trucking companies to pay their drivers higher rates as well as retroactive pay, as required under legislation that was to bring labour peace to the industry after a month-long strike in 2014. The office is to take complaints from truckers about pay and other matters, audit companies and penalize the offenders. Bell and Ready helped forge the regulations Smith was supposed to enforce, including the new pay rates drivers were supposed to get. “Both have the experience to ensure fairness and growth at the port,” Stone said Tuesday. Six non-compliant companies have been identified so far and audits are in progress on others. Stone said four of the firms have since paid back wages to truckers, while the other two refused to do so. Ready and Bell will determine penalties,

which could range from fines to suspension or termination of port access. Union leaders estimate millions of dollars are owed to hundreds of truck drivers. “There are a good number of truckers who are still owed wages and that’s wrong,” Stone said. The province continues to seek a long-term permanent commissioner. Stone said the interim commissioner and deputy commissioner will work part time and be paid out of the existing budget. NDP labour critic Shane Simpson said the appointment of Bell and Ready is an indication that the office of the Container Trucking Commissioner is in “serious trouble.” – files from Tom Fletcher

‘Strong environmental consciousness’ ▶ RIDING PROFILE: DELTA RICK KUPCHUK

The last of a series: The Leader continues to shine a spotlight on candidates in each of this area’s six federal ridings: Surrey-Newton, Fleetwood-Port Kells, Surrey-Centre, Cloverdale-Langley City, South Surrey-White Rock and Delta. The stories can also be read online at surreyleader.com

them to expand their business.” The three challengers are critical of the government’s record on the environment and claim it’s a huge issue locally. “There’s a strong environmental consciousness in Delta,” says Qualtrough. “People are concerned about issues regarding land use, thermal coal, port expansion. People feel we haven’t had the proper science prior to decisions being made.” Citing the proposed Terminal 2 (T2) project at Roberts Bank, which would add a second three-berth container terminal alongside the existing Deltaport terminal, Qualtrough noted Port Vancouver did its own environmental assessment. “I’ve jokingly said it’s like asking a teenager if their bedroom is clean.” Green party candidate Anthony Devallano says the expansion project is “a terrible idea. “It’s an environmental disaster waiting to happen,” he argues. “There’s no justification for it. There’s plenty of port capacity elsewhere in B.C. Go up to Prince Rupert, or even in Metro Vancouver. They aren’t at full capacity. If they were, then there’s an argument.” Devallano also took aim at the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal for a new coal export facility, which would see coal shipped by rail from the United States to the port, then on to overseas destinations. “It’s a no-brainer to put an end to it,” he says. “The Americans have already put an end to it. (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper always expects the U.S.A. to lead the way on the environment, so let’s follow their lead.” “There’s an issue of projects are going ahead without addressing the environmental concerns,” adds the NDP’s Leveque. “Environmental legislation has been decimated under the Conservatives. We want to ensure every project is subjected to a review, which would her science-based and addresses environmental concerns.” Asked for issues that specifically affect North Delta, Findlay notes the gang shootings in nearby Newton are having a spill-over effect. She says the federal promise of more RCMP officers for Surrey “will be helpful,” and notes $3.5 million has been allocated for a Surrey gang prevention program. “We need to help youth in Surrey and North Delta make better choices and not get wrapped up in the drug culture.” Leveque pledged his party would assist municipalities with transportation issues. “The municipalities need to rely on a stable partnership with government,” says Leveque. “We would transfer one per cent of the federal gas tax to the municipalities for transit upgrades and improvements to infrastructure.”

After almost two decades of sharing a pair of MPs with voters outside their municipality, the residents of Delta will have a Member of Parliament they can call their own as of Oct. 19. The riding of Delta is new for the 2015 federal election, carved out of the former Delta-Richmond East and Newton-North Delta ridings. “Before, there was the perception (East) Richmond and Surrey (Newton) were always the top dogs,” says Liberal candidate Carla Qualtrough. “Now, Delta is top of mind.” Conservative candidate Kerry-Lynne Findlay, who is seeking a second term as an MP in Ottawa, says “it’s always significant when you’re reaching out to new people. It’s excellent for Delta, it’s something council supported and I supported.” RIDING FACTS: NDP candidate Jeremy Leveque says the ▶ Population: 100,590 ▶ Median age: 42.9 ▶ Those older than 15: 83% new riding boundaries change the game. “The support we had (in 2011) was ▶ Married or living common law: 52,330 ▶ Not married or common law: dispersed.

Few undecided voters at Cloverdale-Langley City debate ▶ TERRORISM, HEALTH CARE AND THE ECONOMY UP FOR DEBATE DAN FERGUSON

What may be the final all-candidates debate in the Cloverdale-Langley City riding drew more than 200 people to the Kwantlen Polytechnic University campus in Langley City last Wednesday night. It was the second debate in less than eight hours for the three hopefuls who showed up for the event, Conservative Dean Drysdale, New Democrat Rebecca Smith and Liberal John Aldag. A fourth candidate, Green representative Scott Anderson, was again a no-show, something the moderator, Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce President Scott Johnston, did not allow to pass without comment. “The next speaker is Scott Anderson of the Green party,” Johnston said during

the opening remarks. “Does he have anything to say? I guess not.” With less than two weeks to go in the federal election, there didn’t seem to be many undecided voters in the room. The three candidates each had their own cheering section, all roughly the same size and volume. Many of the written questions from the audience reflected that, with submissions giving the Conservative a chance to talk about his party’s policy on terrorism, allowing the NDP hopeful to discuss the party record on health care and permitting the Liberal to argue for deficit spending at a time of low interest rates. On a local issue, the Trans Mountain

pipeline expansion, Drysdale said as a Walnut Grove resident who lives next to the current pipeline route, he doesn’t understand the “hysteria” about the project. “It’s a park,” Drysdale said of the tree-free green space where the pipeline runs behind his backyard. “It’s really not that big of a deal.” His rivals talked about the need for protection of the environment (NDP) and to consult with First Nations (Liberal). The last question of the evening asked candidates to list their “number-one priority concern” for the riding. Drysdale listed two, saying crime, especially in Surrey where “people are very worried about the shootings” was one, and transit funding was the other,

when Findlay was casting a vote “it was decided by Harper how she would vote.” “And Jeremy Leveque’s vote would be decided by Thomas Mulcair, and Carla Qualtrough’s vote would be decided by Justin Trudeau,” he adds.

“The Green party is the only party that won’t whip votes.”

something he said the Conservative government has responded to with its recent announcement of funding for transit in Surrey and Langley. Aldag said after knocking on 26,000 doors and walking 1,000 kilometres, “so far” the concern he has heard most often is about “jobs, the economy and the cost of living,” adding the Liberal plan to use deficit financing to build infrastructure “will help grow the economy.” Smith, who described herself as a cancer survivor whose family doctor diagnosed her illness, said “it all comes back to our health.” She said there are an estimated 14,000 Langley residents and 48,000 Surrey residents with no family doctors, and that situation will be corrected under an NDP government. It was likely the final all-candidates debate of the election in Cloverdale-Langley City.

RICK KUPCHUK

In the midst of a grueling six-game road trip, the Vancouver Giants have absorbed their first two regulation-time losses of the season. After earning seven of a possible eight points to start the season, the Western Hockey League (WHL) team lost to the Brandon Wheat Kings and Moose Jaw Canucks on consecutive nights, and now sit in third place in the B.C. Division with a 3-2-1 (win-loss-overtime loss) record. The Giants began their 13-day trip, the longest of the season, with a 5-4 shootout loss on Friday, Oct. 2 to the Prince Albert Raiders. Vancouver led 2-0 after one period, and 3-2 after two, but needed a goal from Alec Baer with 35 seconds remaining in regulation time to tie the game 4-4. After five minutes of scoreless overtime, the Raiders scored the lone goal in the three-player shootout. Dakota Odgers, Jackson Houck and Jesse Roach were the other Giants goal scorers. Payton Lee was the netminder, making 32 saves on 36 shots. Their next game on a Sunday afternoon (Oct.

Two Giants who call Surrey home contributed to the 5-4 win. Defenceman Matt Barberis, 17, scored his first WHL goal in the second period which gave Vancouver a 2-0 lead. The Blades called the tie the game, pulling even with a powerplay goal with just 21 seconds left in regulation. Jakub Stukel of Sur-

rey netted the winner for the Giants 1:50 into overtime. Carter Popoff, Odgers and Ty Ronning also scored for Vancouver. Cody Porter was in goal for the Giants, making 39 saves on 43 shots. The Brandon Wheat Kings handed the Giants their first regulation-time loss by an 8-3 score Tuesday night in the Manitoba city. Popoff netted a pair of goals late in the first period to tie the game 2-2. Clayton Kirichenko taller on the powerplay midway through the second to knot the score

3-3. The Wheat Kings reigned a 5-3 lead after 40 minutes, and scored three unanswered goals in the third. The Giants had Ryan Kubic in goal, and he stopped 35 of 43 shots. Twenty-four hours later, the Giants were back in Saskatchewan to face-off against the Moose Jaw Warriors. After taking a 5-3 lead into the third period, Vancouver surrendered five third-period goals and fell 8-5. Radovan Bondra, Houck, Barberis, Taylor Crunk and Kirichenko scored for the Giants.
