Council eyes 1.68 per cent tax increase
CLASSIC EAST COAST CELTIC REVIVAL
Sewer rates to rise four per cent, water up one per cent Kevin Mills Mission Record
A municipal tax hike of less than two per cent has been proposed for Mission in 2016. Kerri Onken, deputy treasurer collector for the district, made the 2016 financial plan presentation to council during Monday night’s public meeting. She revealed that council is considering a 1.68 per cent municipal tax increase, which equals $488,967 in new revenue, along with a one per cent increase in water user rates and four per cent increase in sewer user rates. That equates to an approximate increase of about $50 a year for the average Mission homeowner – based on a home value of $390,000 – although several factors could change that figure depending on new assessment values and other levies, including school board, library, Fraser Valley regional hospital and other yearly charges that have yet to be finalized. Council will now seek public input on the proposed increases in hopes of approving the budget sometime in December. The 2016 financial plan includes consolidated operating budgets totaling $65.2 million and capital budgets totaling $10.85 million. The 1.68 per cent tax increase is proposed to: ❑ Increase the transfer, by $290,000, to capital reserves, to help fund future projects; ❑ Fund one new RCMP officer; ❑ Cover contractual increases: “Building up the district reserves will provide flexibility and will allow the district to fund capital projects internally and avoid future external borrowing and related interest charges,” explained Onken. The proposed 2016 budget allows for $11.74 million to be transfered to reserves. Onken said that will help the district continue its “pay as you go” philosophy on capital projects. Continued on A5

BUILDING BLESSED
Reports of hand, foot and mouth disease Some Mission parents are reporting incidences of hand, foot and mouth disease in their children. According to Fraser Health Authority, the disease is caused by a coxsackie virus. It occurs mainly in the summer and early fall and is most common in children under 10 years of age. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, headache and small painful blisters in-

Project officially cancelled Council puts observatory rumours to rest issues that were not “properly calculated or thoroughly thought out. “In essence the overall cost undertaking this project has been grossly underestimated and the revenue projections are overstated,” said Plecas, who added no consideration was given to the maintenance, security and volunteer training needed. He also said a technical review raised concerns about the site of the project and its ability to provide optimum conditions for telescope use. Coun. Jenny Stevens was the only councillor to vote against the motion. “I originally believed that having our own observatory was a great concept. I think this outcome, frankly, is a little bit of

There will not be an observatory built in Fraser River Heritage Park. On Monday, Mission council quashed any rumours about the community project being revived by officially declaring that the observatory will not move forward. According to a report, district staff requested clarification from council on the observatory after becoming “aware of some conversations regarding the possibility of continuing with planning and development of the observatory project.” Coun. Danny Plecas said that the staff report on the observatory, issued in August, raised “some legitimate concerns.” He said there were some glaring
a tragedy,” she said, adding the project would become a major drain on taxpayers. However, she did not vote in favour of cancelling the project altogether, saying she was under the impression that council would seek public input on the future of the observatory. “I was looking forward to a proper public consultation session where all the options were put forward with the snags, with the warnings on any of them. Because even knocking the building down is not free,” said Stevens. Council did not agree and the building will be re-purposed in some way. Staff will now seek public input on what to do with the former observatory building.

New drainage fee created From A1
“Saving ahead for projects is preferable to debt financing.� The district’s current longterm debt is $6.8 million, as of December 31, 2014. An example of some of the capital projects listed in the 2016 budget include: � New artificial turf field – $2.9 million � Road paving – $2.8 million � Water main replacement – $1 million � Three dump trucks, one Zamboni – $924,395 � Facility repairs – $576,614 � New skateboard park – $440,000 As part of the proposed 2016
budget, a new drainage utility fee has been given approval in principle. “The district’s drainage program has significant challenges in terms of providing adequate funding for maintenance replacement and upgrading of critical drainage systems,� said Onken. While details of the fee have yet to be finalized, the goal is to create a drainage capital reserve fund. A total of $98,785 will be transfered to the new drainage reserve in 2016 and an additional $100,000 will fund a drainage inspection program. Different funding models are still being examined.
Mayor Randy Hawes said the fund is needed to prepare for future drainage repairs. “If you don’t set aside money to do that, you can get hit with some very, very nasty surprises and no money to fix it. “Council has looked at that and thought the smartest thing to do is begin planning for that day when we have big replacement issues.� The public is invited to make their views known by filling out the budget questionnaire online at mission.ca/budget or call 604-820-3717. Council will debate the budget again on November 18 and discuss public input.
Mail thief sentenced to 31 days A Chilliwack man was sentenced to 31 days in jail and 18 months’ probation for a string of mail thefts at community mailboxes from Agassiz to Mission in the summer. David Charles McGill, 47, of Chilliwack pleaded guilty to four of the eight counts of mail theft he was charged with, as well as one count of possession of break-in instruments and one breach of undertaking. In August, the RCMP’s Upper Fraser Valley regional detachment crime reduction unit (CRU) was investigating mailbox thefts dating back to early 2015. Information obtained during that investigation led police to McGill.
On Aug. 28 at approximately 2:30 a.m., police were informed that McGill was spotted near Lougheed Highway
in Agassiz. Officers attended and found damaged and opened Canada Post community mailboxes. Following

OPINION
Published & printed by Black Press Ltd. at 33047 First Avenue, Mission V2V 1G2
Time to remember With Halloween behind us, stores and homeowners are already preparing for the Christmas season. Decorations and displays are creeping into the malls while wish lists are being created. But between the sugar rush of Halloween and the consumer rush of Christmas lies a date that can often be lost in all the consumer hype – Remembrance Day is upon us. On Wednesday, November 11, ceremonies will be held, wreaths will be placed and veterans will don their uniforms in respect and appreciation for the sacrifices made by the men and women who have defended our rights and kept us safe. Many paid the ultimate price. These ceremonies take place not only in Mission, or Canada, but worldwide. One day, one hour doesn’t seem like a heavy price for the public to pay to say thank you and to remember.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
But is the true significance of Remembrance Day becoming lost on a new generation of Canadians? The First World War has already slipped for many from memory to history and in a few years, as veterans continue to age, the same will occur with the Second World War. Do our children truly understand the sacrifices made by their grandparents and great-grandparents? Do they understand the sacrifices still being made today? In this modern age, joining the armed forces and being deployed may not have the same emotional impact on those left behind. Today, many youth understand war through the eyes of a video console. Supposedly realistic games allow them to be heroes on the TV screen. On November 11 we need to remember the real heroes. Lest We Forget.
Do you feel a 1.68% municipal tax increase in 2016 is reasonable? To answer, go to the Home page of our website: www.missioncityrecord.com
LAST WEEK WE ASKED: Should the community mailbox program be scrapped? Here’s how you responded:
Yes 62% No 38%
The silence of the email servers Tom Fletcher
B.C. Views Premier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its apparent deletion of emails involving sensitive government topics. A week-long barrage of accusations by the NDP opposition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-running case of eight health researchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies. Most have been paid settlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel management blunder in memory. One committed suicide. We are now into a second independent review of this tragic case, after an independent lawyer was unable to determine what went wrong, because she couldn’t compel testimony or demand records. It is now in the hands of B.C.’s new Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, who has that authority. Everyone agrees that the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whitmarsh,
was legally responsible for the decisions and records. Yet somehow the only record released to the NDP for the two-year period of the firings and subsequent investigation was a heavily blanked-out update from his successor, Stephen Brown, to the premier’s deputy, John Dyble. It refers to an “update on litigation resolution from investigation,” the substance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situation by phone. Here’s an exchange between NDP MLA Adrian Dix and Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk: Dix: “Can the minister explain why the Office of the Premier, the Deputy Minister to the Premier, has no records and why the successive Deputy Minister of Health had one record over two years?” Virk: “The suggestion from the member opposite that there are no documents is false…. There are more documents now that the Ombudsperson has conduct of the matter and is undertaking a comprehensive review. I fully expect that he will do a comprehensive review and will consent to the release of more documents.” There will be more sound and fury over this, but only Chalke’s report can provide new information. And even then, the damage is done, settlements and non-dis-
closure deals have been signed, and Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake have formally apologized. The larger issue is how freedom of information legislation should work. Should the opposition be able to second-guess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their emails?
The larger issue is how freedom of information legislation should work. Should the opposition be able to second-guess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their emails? The traditional answer is no. Elected officials are responsible, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the case in hiring and firing ministry staff and awarding government work contracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies. There are sound reasons for this.
Consider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds. Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences. One can imagine the agonizing discussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger. Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets? No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

School reconfiguration isn’t good for the kids I am writing this, as a concerned parent, in regards to the proposed reconfiguration of Mission Central and Christine Morrison. My daughter attends one of the above mentioned schools. Before enrolling her, we made a checklist of all the things that we looked for in a school: Is it within walking
distance? Does it have a population of students that we are comfortable with? Does it offer both English and French programs so that our younger children can decide which path they’d like to take and be involved in a diverse student population?
Does it offer kindergarten readiness programs (StrongStart, ABC 123) that my younger children can participate in? Is it a neighbourhood school that she can attend with children living close by us? There are many other families who have based which
school to enrol their child on points similar to these. Many families don’t have transportation and need to live close by to the school. They shouldn’t have to move because their program does. Many families have children enrolled in both English and French programs, for
a variety of reasons, and need to attend a school that offers both. They shouldn’t be forced to decide between taking a child out of a program, or having to travel to two different schools. Many families feel that attending a neighbourhood school is vital to the interconnectedness of

The studies that are not paid for by industry all show how dangerous cell towers, cell phones, wifi, and any other
wireless devices are. Health Canada hides behind Safety Code 6 which has proven to be outdated and wrong, but the government will not change it. Let’s hope the new government is smarter than the old. Those of us who are fighting against EMF radiation are not going away and the evidence against RF radiation is increasing by the day. Please listen and do not do this to your citizens.
If people would pick the fruit off their trees we wouldn’t have this problem. Also they have already taken two to Critter Care because the sow was hit by a car. Others have been destroyed this year due to careless attractant management.

In the Bible, the book of Acts tells of a man named Joseph who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles which means, Son of Encouragement. He was a Levite, and he sold a field which belonged to him, and brought the money to be shared with the apostles. (Acts 4:36) What a nice thing to have been considered a “person of encouragement”, especially since there were so many adverse things happening to the apostles at that time. There will always be concerns and negativity in the world, and the way we deal with our own hardships and difficulties, will in part, determine our happiness and peace of mind. We should also be aware of our actions and conversations with others, because they are affected by the way we interact with them. Being kind, truthful, and encouraging to others is a reflection of God’s love toward us. We are what we profess with our lips, and when we are hopeful and uplifting to those in whom we come in contact, we are also encouraging ourselves. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering... but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. R.S.V. Hebrews 10:23-25

Public voices concerns to council Delegations speak against animal control, park changes Kevin Mills Mission Record
A pair of delegations spoke before Mission council expressing concerns regarding recent decisions. Two weeks ago, Abbotsford resident Diane Davies addressed council regarding the pending closure of the Mission animal shelter in favour of joining the Fraser Valley Regional District’s animal control services. Davies said she represented the views of more than 800 Mission residents. “We want to make you aware that we are not in favour of this move ... We also do not like that FVRD will be allowed to take over the contract without our mayor and council at least appointing a staff member to ensure the safety of our animals.” She raised concerns that the FVRD continues to accept con-
tracts for dog control while not having large enough facilities to accommodate their ambitions. Davies asked council to revisit the decision. She suggested council could lease the Mission property to FVRD. The Mission shelter could then be renovated and a contractor could be hired by FVRD. “To show that we, the taxpayers of Mission, care we also offer $10,000 to assist in putting Mission on the map as having an animal shelter worth visiting.” On Monday, George Evens spoke before council to voice his disapproval of the Fraser River Heritage Park situation. Council has decided not to renew its contract with the Mission Heritage Association, which has maintained the park for the past 30 years. Council also decided to cancel the observatory project, also located at the park.
“Any citizen may be hardpressed to not ask, ‘How dare you council act without perceived due diligence and lacking vision and in a perceived in-camera and too secretive manner, dismiss our fellow dedicated volunteers and board without prior consultations in a perceived cavalier manner.”’ Evens said the move to end the contract could expose Mission citizens to new and possibly costly governance. He said countless hours of volunteer work and fundraising efforts by the association has helped maintain the park. Evens called council’s action counter-productive to the public interest and said council is over-reactionary and uncompromising in its dealing with the association. Both delegations were received by council without comment.

Service dogs welcome?
VOLUNTEER TODAY!
Board ponders policy to allow guide dogs in schools Mission board of education is considering a draft policy to allow guide dogs and service dogs in schools. The policy draft was presented to trustees at the Oct. 20 board meeting. It will be circulated to parent and employee groups for feedback before coming back to the board. Guide and service dogs are specially trained to assist students who have physical or development disabilities. The policy draft states they will be allowed in classrooms, in schools, on school property and on school district buses, when the terms and conditions contained in a supporting administrative procedure are met. “These specifically trained dogs will be allowed when they afford students an equal opportunity to access services,
programs and/or activities,” the policy draft states. A guide dog or service dog is specifically trained to undertake more than one task to mitigate a student’s disabilities, and has obtained its certification under the Guide Dog and Service Dog Act and trained at an accredited Assistance Dogs International (ADI), International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF) or a Ministry of Justice approved school of training. Specifically outlined in the policy draft are autism support dogs, guide dogs for blind or visually impaired people, hearing dogs which alert individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to specific sounds, seizure-response dogs trained to provide emergency response for individuals with epilepsy and service dogs trained to as-
sist individuals who utilize a wheelchair. A separate policy on medical therapy dogs is also under consideration. These dogs are social interactive dogs trained to work for a handler to provide service and comfort to other people, such as in hospitals, retirement homes, nursing homes, libraries, rehabilitation units; for children with learning disabilities or difficulty with literacy; or to support people in stressful situations. The policy draft states they would only be permitted on school property when approved under the policy when it has been determined that the medical therapy dog helps the student to have equal access to the services, programs and/or activities offered by the district.

Cindy Wiens (left) had some good luck out on the Fraser at the end of October. The angler hooked a nine-foot, two-inch-long sturgeon and then nabbed an eight-foot, four-inch-long sturgeon on the same day. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Catching the big one, twice Cindy Wiens hooked a big one on Tuesday, Oct. 20, while sturgeon fishing in the Fraser River. In fact, she hooked two big ones. The Rocky Rapids, Alta. woman was fishing with her husband Jerret and guide Chad of fishingthefraser.com. The couple have been fishing in the Fraser for 14 years and have
caught and tagged many sturgeon over the years. She hooked a fish and said, “I think it’s a little one.� “Suddenly, this nine-foot, two-inch fished jumped in the air and crashed down into the water before taking off down river,� Jerret said. “Cindy was determined to bring this fish in by herself
and awhile later, with very sore arms, she got to take pictures with this giant and video its release.� About an hour later, she caught another giant – eight feet, four inches in length. “She needed a little help from me to bring it in, as she was still worn out from her nine-foot, two-inch fish,� Jerret said.

United Way offers Festival of trees set to return priority grants Total funding available increases by $50,000 The United Way Fraser Valley is offering funding for programs that reduce poverty, reduce homelessness or ensure children are ready for school. The agency’s board of directors has increased their priority grant pool from $100,000 to $150,000. The grants will go to local projects in
This spring, United Way’s board approved a grant to Mission Community Services to increase food skills and nutrition for low-income parents. Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission or in the Fraser Cascade region. Any non-profit organization providing local services addressing one of the three priorities may apply. Applications for priority grants can be found online at uwfv.bc.ca/ how-we-help/our-priorities/priority-grants. “We are once again proud of the opportunity to provide this funding
for programs in our local communities,” said Balbir Gill, chair of the committee that reviews the applications. Board chair Tamara Van den Brink said the grants are possible because of the hard work of United Way employees, the dedication of the campaign cabinet, and the generosity of donors. This spring, United Way’s board approved a grant to Mission Community Services to increase food skills and nutrition for low-income parents and individuals leaving their second-stage housing. This project is in partnership with Mission’s Kitchens. They also approved a grant to Big Brothers Big Sisters to allow children waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister to go on monthly outings. Wayne Green, United Way executive director, said priority grants are just one of the many funding opportunities United Way provides. “This funding is in addition to the $250,000 distributed to local organizations to provide a safety net of services,” he said. For more information about United Way, go to uwfv.bc.ca.

Good Neighbour bylaw raises many questions Frank Bucholtz Mission Record
Mission council is considering a raft of policy changes to promote more neighbourliness. Council discussed the varying policies in the form of a proposed Good Neighbour bylaw at its Oct. 21 meeting. The bylaw includes items such as noise issues, odour issues, vacant buildings, light pollution, panhandling and graffiti. The proposed bylaw led to several questions from members of council to deputy administrator Mike Younie. Coun. Pam Alexis asked about the vacant building portion of the bylaw, the most significant change to existing bylaws. It is based on similar bylaws in Williams Lake and Penticton. This section will require owners of vacant buildings to obtain a Vacant Building Registration (VBR) permit if their building is not being renovated, offered for sale while meeting building code requirements or not representing a nuisance or hazardous condition. Along with the permit are requirements to carry insurance, maintain and board the building to certain standards and to allow regular access by the municipality to ensure the standards are being met. VBR permits would be valid for two years for commercial, multi-family and in-
dustrial buildings and one year for residential buildings. Permits can be extended only with approval from council, which offers council an opportunity to discuss the reasons for vacancy with the owner. Alexis asked if the staff had received a recommendation for this section from the Downtown Business Association. Younie said the dis-
trict plans to do so and also to consult with the Chamber of Commerce. He added that vacant buildings are a more important issue in the downtown area than in a rural area. Coun. Danny Plecas said the bylaw needs to spell out the definition of a vacant building more clearly. Coun. Jenny Stevens asked if the vacant building section
would apply to buildings where squatters have moved in. Younie said that issue can be dealt with under other laws, including zoning and unsightly premises bylaws. Alexis asked if the vacant building section could apply to occupied buildings in the downtown area, some of which take away from the area’s ambiance. Younie replied that the dis-
trict can use the Community Charter to help urge owners to improve their buildings. She asked what types of noise were subject to the most complaints. Younie said what bothers one person does not necessarily bother another, but in general complaints centre around loud parties, loud mufflers on vehicles and barking dogs. The
district does not generally receive complaints about Mission Raceway or train whistles, although he is aware they are the subject of come general complaints in the community. Mayor Randy Hawes asked if marijuana plants being prepared for harvest would qualify under the odour section. Younie replied that odour complaints are diffi-
cult to pin down, but are most likely to be resolved if neighbours keep detailed records and if more than one neighbour
makes
a
complaint. However, he added that there will be limited staff to respond to complaints under the proposed bylaw, so enforcement would be selective.

Stone Soup fundraiser Battling homelessness key target for group’s fall event Ben LYPKA Abbotsford News
Mission is going old school for a potential solution to the growing issue of homelessness in the region. The Stone Soup Initiative (SSI) draws its inspiration from the old tale that tells the story of how something great for everyone can be created if we all just contribute a little bit. One of the project’s leaders is Paul Horn. He said we can learn a lot from the story of Stone Soup. “It’s a story each of us was told as young children, but the lessons of Stone Soup have never been more pertinent than they are today,” he said. “The theme of Stone Soup is at the very heart of what makes Canada and each of its communities great places to live.” In Mission, government, citizens, businesses and community groups have been inspired by the story, and are acting in concert to enact 35 different community actions meant to reduce homelessness. The SSI is overseen by a committee of community leaders, including Bob Ingram, Judith Ray, Sanjay Gulati and Kirsten Hargreaves.
This pendent, donated by Lanka Jewels, is valued at $4,000 and is the grand prize for the Stone Soup fundraiser. “We will work with any engaged citizen or group that has something to throw in the pot,” Horn said. “The business community, in particular, has been very creative.” One of the more creative and generous businesses involved in this season’s SSI fundraiser is Lanka Jewels. Horn said he and owner Ken Selvaraja worked together on a community visioning contest in the past and are working again for the SSI’s event.
“Ken reached out to me with a wonderful idea and he and his design team made a wonderful piece, capturing the stone soup metaphor, and are donating it to us as the centrepiece of the fall fundraiser,” Horn said. “The piece – a literal soup bowl of gorgeous stones valued at $4,000 – is stunning, but the inspiration it provides is even better.” The pendant is available for locals to win in a raffle draw, which will be awarded on Dec. 23. The proceeds go to the Anything Possible program, which supports people to return to the workforce by giving them an opportunity to work in a cooperative business. ] Tickets for the draw are $20 and can be purchased at Lanka Jewels, Mission Community Services and many other community partners. Mission residents can also help the SSI out by buying a bowl of Stone Soup from Martin’s Downtown or they can make a financial or in-kind donation to MY House or other targeted programs through Mission Community Services. Locals can also donate services or goods by calling Horn at 604897-0239.

World War, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and perished in the line of duty have been dedicated on this day. One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honour lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an
enduring symbol of those who died so that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of the First World War took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life
had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without
We salute those who have served, and those who presently serve, for their courage and dedication to a strong and free Canada. Thank you for protecting our citizens and our country.

germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it on the right side because that is where a widow would wear her husband’s medals.

Courage Remembered In Flanders Fields is a war poem written during the First World War by Canadian physician Major John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. According to legend, fellow soldiers retrieved the poem after McCrae, initially dissatisfied with his work, discarded it. In Flanders Fields was first published on December 8 of that year in the London-based magazine Punch.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Courage Remembered Why we remember
On November 11, a wreath laying ceremony will take place at the FILE PHOTO Mission Legion following the service at the Clarke Theatre.
November 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada. It’s also known as Armistice Day in other parts of the world. These holidays honour all military veterans who have provided service to their countries, and the fact that the holiday falls on November 11 is no coincidence, as the day commemorates the anniversary of the end of the First World War on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. The men and women who defend the liberties and freedoms of the countries they represent hold a special place in people’s hearts and an eternal spot in their countries’ histories. On Wednesday, please take the time to remember all of those who sacrificed so much.

A COMEDY-ADVENTURE MARK BROWN
by Hayley Jones (second from right) of Mission was one of several prize winners at the SUBMITTED PHOTO Citizenship Challenge in Ottawa.
Citizenship challenge winner Mission’s Hayley Jones won a prize Oct. 15 at the Citizenship Challenge’s citizenship week event in Ottawa. She attended the event as part of a trip to Ottawa with Encounters with Canada. The event touched on great Canadians and civic participation, just before the Oct. 19th federal election. Historian and writer Charlotte Gray was the special guest at the event, held at the historic Chateau Laurier Hotel in downtown Ottawa. “I think we all love to engage with our history through the stories of extraordinary Canadians – hockey players, artists, entrepreneurs, activists. Each story gives us a glimpse into this country’s diversity, while underlining the collective will to make it work,� Gray said. There were 82 youth from across Canada taking part in the event, organized by Historica Canada, which is dedicated to enhancing awareness of Canada’s history and citizenship. It organizes the Citizenship Challenge, which asks Canadians to test their national knowledge by studying for and writing a mock
citizenship exam. More than 200,000 people have taken the challenge thus far.

However, if you’re looking to get into a Passat, the base MSRP for the Trendline, which comes with a six-speed manual transmission, comes in at $23,295 or with the automatic, $24,605 (both excluding destination and taxes.) The top-of-the-line Passat comes in the form of the Execline, starting at $38,295 (excluding destination charges and taxes.) The Execline will give you the potency of the 3.6L VR6 engine – complete with a 280 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque linked to a six-speed DSG automatic. While this trim will make up a small fraction of Canadian Passat Sales, but those who want more everything in their Passat can get it if they so desire. Safety is another area that VW pays close attention to. The inclusion of the Intelligent Crash Response System means that the doors automatically unlock, the fuel pump shuts off and, and the hazard lights turn on in the event of a collision. The collaboration of new sheet metal, revised styling on the inside and out, and great safety features solidify the Passat as a worthy model to consider in the mid size sedan category. The 2016 Passat is on sale now for a midNovember delivery.
