Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

Seniors-only shuttle service needed here

By MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Aldergrove Star

Shoppers of all ages visited with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Christmas Craft Fair in Aldergrove on Saturday.

Santa’s busy season begins Aldergrove Star

Aldergrove’s annual Christmas Light Up Parade comes to Aldergrove on Saturday, December 12, starting at 6 p.m. in downtown Aldergrove.

The parade follows the annual children’s Christmas party hosted by the Aldergrove Elks in the afternoon. See

more details on this in next week’s Star.

The parade route runs along Fraser Highway through downtown Aldergrove and includes carol singing and free hot chocolate.

The Walter Levy trophy will also be presented to the Christmas home decorating contest winners.

For those who wish to enter a parade float, the application deadline is Dec. 9.

To enter a float register by completing a Christmas Light Up Parade form found on the website: http://aldergrovefair.ca/ parades/christmas-light-up-parade/ For more information, please email to parades@aldergrovefair.ca

A seniors-only shuttle may be the best option for solving seniors’ transportation issues in the Langleys, according to a study conducted by the Langley Seniors Community Action Table (LSCAT).

The study gave a questionnaire to 250 local seniors between the ages of 60 and 96 to determine their transportation habits.

Of the participants — including 83 who live in the City — the majority choose to drive themselves, or they rely on volunteer drivers, who may be family members, friends or affiliated with programs, Kathy Reddington, co-chair of LSCAT told City of Langley council on Nov. 9.

“LSCAT has identified transportation as a priority for advocacy, because it really is critical to every senior support system if he or she is to age in place, remain independent and engage with the community, all which contribute significantly to ongoing good health and general well being,” she said.

The study determined 71 per cent of respondents in the Township, and 49 per cent in the City, drive themselves, with many getting behind the wheel even when they do not want to.

“We think that some of them — even if they have a licence — they don’t want to drive, they actually don’t think they should be driving, but they may not have other options,” Reddington said.

Relying on others to transport them is also not viable, she said. In the City, 66 per cent use volunteer drivers and in the Township, 52 per cent.

“This says to us, they depend heavily on a really unreliable form of transit, where they’re always asking for favours,” Reddington said.

The study found that the majority of seniors are traveling to downtown Langley, Willowbrook Shopping Centre, Langley Memorial Hospital area and the Langley Senior Resources Centre for shopping, health services and community involvement.

Many seniors also choose to walk to these locations, but public transit “does not serve the transportation needs,” Reddington said.

That’s why LSCAT wants to create a designated shuttle service, which all but one of the respondents said they would pay a fee for.

“We can see a real high density of seniors, both in the City and in the Township, and when you look at that high density it goes along with very low incomes and, at times, very bad access to transit,” Reddington said.

“So that was the context for us to put the questionnaire together. We have people telling us they’d like a shuttle, so the question was, would you use one if it was available?

“They see it being the thing that can take them from place

Tax credit urged to spur food donations Seniors’

By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

The chair of Food Banks BC is backing a proposal to create a federal tax break that encourages businesses to donate more food to local charities.

Marilyn Herrmann, who is also executive director of the Surrey Food Bank Society, says there are “endless” amounts of usable food that could be retrieved from restaurants, grocers and other suppliers that now throw it out.

The National Zero Waste Council proposes the federal government create a new tax credit for businesses linked to the fair market value of food they donate to charities such as food banks, shelters and soup kitchens.

Herrmann said while many businesses already strive to donate usable food, such an incentive could prod others to both save on taxes and help put more unused food to good use.

“It’s not even waste, it’s perfectly good food,” Herrmann said. “Something that may just be undersized according to a grocery chain’s standard doesn’t mean it’s bad food.”

Lower Mainland food banks regularly retrieve huge skids of food that producers or retailers have been unable to sell fast enough.

“Sometimes we come back with incredible donations,” Herrmann said,

adding dairy producers sometimes overproduce yogurt and donate large volumes that are too close to their expiry dates.

It’s a retail reality that consumers won’t buy those products.

“People are so hung up on these best before dates that as soon as it hits the day, they just throw it out without even checking the quality of the product.”

A report by the National Zero Waste Council doesn’t estimate how much lost tax revenue a new credit might cost Ottawa.

But it projects a range of benefits that would result from a more efficient food system.

One of those benefits would be less organic waste going into landfills – Metro Vancouver estimates the drop in garbage resulting from the tax credit would mean reduced greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to taking 275,000 cars off the road.

Metro Vancouver regional district directors vote next Friday on whether to endorse the idea.

BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association president Ian Tostenson said the biggest worry for restaurateurs donating food to charities is ensuring it stays food safe and doesn’t make anyone sick.

“If they can get through the issues

Marilyn Herrmann says so-called “waste food” is often acceptable and edible. of food safety and sanitation, I think it’s a great idea,” Tostenson said. “I don’t think business even needs a tax incentive to do it. I think they’d just do it if they can do it in a way that doesn’t create liability.”

Other critics have suggested the tax break could lead to businesses dumping unusable food on food banks, and increasing their disposal costs.

“There definitely are challenges to this, no question,” Herrmann said. “You have to have the capacity to handle the volumes of food that are being offered to you.”

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie,

who chairs Metro’s zero waste committee, said the tax credit would be worthwhile, even if it’s not a silver bullet curing food waste.

“Our hope is this would lead to a far bigger uptake and get a lot of that edible food into the hands of charities that can divide it up and use it effectively.”

An estimated 170,000 tonnes of edible food – equivalent to 300 million meals – ends up in Canadian landfills every year.

In monetary terms, that’s an estimated $31 to $107 billion of waste in the production, shipping and fair market value of the food.

Meanwhile, Herrmann and Food Banks BC are also pressing the BC Liberals to keep a promise they made in the 2013 election campaign.

The party’s platform committed the provincial government to “give growers a tax credit of 25 per cent of the wholesale value of food donated to a food bank.”

Herrmann said that would be a useful incentive that both helps farmers and encourages them to donate produce and fruit that could help feed the needy.

Undersized apples that are good but too small for retailers are a prime example of what might be contributed in larger volumes instead of being dumped by the truckload.

Proposed tax increase doubles estimate

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

A projected Langley Township property tax hike of 1.95 per cent in 2016 will nearly double if council approves proposed budget measures that would add two RCMP officers, a road paving program, a new replacement fund for fire department vehicles and more money for parks, along with other proposed budget increases.

The distinction between the cost of the “base” budget prepared by staff and the higher cost of the spending proposals in the “decision package” contained in the draft 2016 budget emerged during the first day of a detailed review by council.

Councillor Angie Quaale flagged the difference during the first of two special budget meetings on Monday, Nov. 9.

“That’s equal to almost another two per cent,” Quaale said of the proposed spending.

Staff confirmed the actual tax

increase would be 3.84 per cent if council approved the suggested package of spending increases.

That would bump the tax increase on an average single family house from $32 to about $60.

Township CAO Mark Bakken called it a “segmented” approach to the budget.

“We’re presenting those as options to council,” Bakken said.

Councillor Kim Richer said the presentation was “misleading.”

During the second budget meeting on Monday, Nov. 16, there was frustration that the Township is funding additional RCMP that serve both Langleys when Langley City isn’t.

Last year, the Langley RCMP asked the City to fund one additional officer, but the municipality didn’t.

This year, the City is expected to take another look at the request.

Last year, the Township paid for three more RCMP officers, and is considering hiring two more this year.

There was a suggestion that the a bylaw officer to crack down on illicit Township should make funding more garbage dumping was not popular with officers contingent on the City doing council. the same.

Quaale argued the Township should Concern about poor optics led at least fund the money for a part-time municipal staff to temporarily shelve officer. a proposal that would have Richter said the way redirected money spent on Township budgets are outside contractors into hirprepared needs to be reing 14 full-time staff to hanthought, and suggested some dle the same work. outside “third party” should While the proposal would review the process. not increase spending and is Councillor Petrina intended to save money, the Arnason also felt change is idea of adding more municineeded, comparing the curpal employees was considrent process, where staff preered too controversial by pare a budget and council staff, who intend to bring it Councillor Quaale then adjusts it, to baking a back once they can make a notes “extra costs” in cake by trying to remove an better case for the idea. proposed budget. egg from the mix after the Councillor Charlie Fox ingredients are blended. said it amounted to making budget deciAfter adjustments are made based on sions based on perception instead of the two special meetings, the budget will reality. be sent out for public feedback before it A staff decision to delay funding for comes back to council for approval.

shuttle service needed FROM FRONT:

to place with more ease, with less fear in terms of where they have to wait for a bus, or the fact that there isn’t someone to assist them getting on to that bus.

“There are a number of other issues, like the bus and SkyTrain don’t go where I want to go, or the time it takes is too long, and there’s no access to washrooms while I’m away — a number of reasons why.”

Councillor Rudy Storteboom asked if expanding HandyDART services could be a solution instead, but Reddington believes a separate service is more valuable.

“I think the HandyDART conundrum is one that so many people have experienced in terms of how far ahead they have to book, how long a day they have to spend waiting for HandyDART to come back and pick them up, and it’s really becoming a medicalbased form of transportation,” Reddington said.

“It is not seen as something that should take an isolated senior to a community event.

“It is seen as something that should take somebody who is sick to an appointment they need to go to.

“And I can understand that — that’s the priority.

“This (shuttle) is in addition to that. This is strictly grassroots, community based, what can we do for this density of seniors that needs an easier way to get around.”

Tyson Busby

Panel member for ‘Interrupting the Stigma’ The Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness (PEDAW) campaign presents Interrupting the Stigma: Putting an End to Size-Shaming, a free panel discussion in recognition of Eating Disorders Awareness Week, February 1-7.

The event takes place Saturday, Jan. 30 from noon to 1:30 p.m. and will feature insight from a number of individuals including Aldergrove resident, Tyson Busby.

Busby is recovered from an eating disorder after living with one for seven years.

He now has a family, including a three year old son and new baby daughter.

As much as possible, he tries to give back with regards to eating disorders in order to offer a sense of hope for others.

Also speaking at the event will be Kristi Gordon, Caitlin O’Reilly and Ali Eberhart.

Gordon is a senior meteorologist on Global BC News. She knows first hand what it is like to experience size-shaming. Pregnant with her second child, Gordon continued to work on the air despite receiving hate-mail from viewers regarding her body.

O’Reilly holds degrees in social work and public policy and is currently a PhD candidate at the University of

British Columbia. She has developed an academic and professional career focused on mental health, weight stigma and eating disorders. Her current research priorities are in eating disorders treatment and reducing weight stigma in health care.

Eberhardt, Registered Dietitian, is passionate about helping clients find a healthy relationship with food and body.

Since 2011, she has worked with the Looking Glass Foundation and in the Provincial Adult Tertiary Specialized Eating Disorders Program.

Moderator for the panel is Chiara Fero, author, rebirth midwife, venture catalyst, keynote speaker, media commentator and more. Fero’s experiences with food, weight, selfesteem and a healing into wholeness and radical self-acceptance are well chronicled in her article, “Dear ‘Dear Fatty Writer’: Where You See Fat, I see Armour.”

The event takes place at UBC Robson Square, 800 Robson Street, Vancouver, in the Main Lecture Theatre.

They visited, they sang, they reminisced and enjoyed lunch, and most importantly, they were honoured for everything they have done to make Langley the exceptional place it is.

On Thursday, Nov. 19, the annual Douglas Day event was held by the Township of Langley and the City of Langley to celebrate the men and women whose hard work, knowledge, and values laid the foundation for what our community is today.

Hundreds of local pioneers – Township and City residents aged 70 and over who have lived at least 60 years of their lives in Langley – gathered at the Langley Events Centre for special presentations, entertainment by The Cypress Creek Duo, and a chance to catch up with friends.

“This is an event we look forward to every year,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “Our pioneers have contributed so much and continue to enhance our community by sharing their wisdom and giving their time and efforts to help others. We are honoured to be able to celebrate them this way.”

“We are honoured to be in the presence of the pioneer families who formed the foundation of the Langleys,” said City of Langley Mayor Ted Schaffer. “Douglas Day is a tribute to our history and

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Rodney and Ada Deans are descendants of the Shortreed family. a celebration of the continuous commitment to our community. I am delighted to be a part of a celebratory event dedicated to giving thanks and showing respect to the people who have shaped our neighbourhoods.”

Organized with help from a dedicated volunteer committee, Douglas Day also marks the anniversary of the creation of our province. It is named in honour of Governor James Douglas, whose proclamation at the Big House in Fort Langley on November 19, 1858 brought the crown colony of British Columbia into being.

Douglas Day has been recog-

nized in the Township of Langley since the 1920s and the annual banquet has been held for more than 60 years. In 1946, the celebration of Douglas Day was established by municipal bylaw. While many municipalities in the Lower Mainland celebrated Douglas Day in the past, Langley is one of the few to continue the tradition.

This year, Douglas Day paid special tribute to Langley’s pioneer medical services, recognizing the early doctors, healthcare providers, and Langley Memorial Hospital staff and volunteers who helped those who were sick, hurt, or having babies in Langley’s early years.

MP Warawa named seniors critic

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

Langley-Aldergrove MP Mark Warawa has been named seniors critic in the Official Opposition’s shadow cabinet.

Warawa’s appointment, announced on Nov. 20, comes after the newly elected Liberal government eliminated the Conservative Minister of State for seniors issues position formerly held by Richmond Centre MP Alice Wong.

Wong, who won re-election, was named small business critic by new Conservative leader Rona Ambrose.

Three other Lower Mainland Tories were also appointed to shadow cabinet posts.

First extreme weather response draws 20 Aldergrove Star

As cold, autumn rain pelted down, Salvation Army Gateway of Hope issued its first of the season’s extreme weather alerts and opened extra emergency beds to the homeless on Sunday night.

That night, 20 men and women accessed the additional beds for a total of 52 people in the homeless shelter who didn’t have to sleep outside.

“People told us that they had no idea where they would sleep last night as the rain from the weekend dampened all of their sleeping areas, and then followed by the cold, made them unbearable,” said Cameron Eggie, Salvation Army’s residential services manager who is charge of issuing extreme weather alerts.

Another alert was issued for Monday.

The homeless shelter puts out

extra beds to bring people living on the streets in from the cold.

The homeless shelter beds are open from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m.

People who are homeless and have no way to get to the shelter on the Langley Bypass can call Langley RCMP’s non-emergency line and an officer will take them there.

The Gateway of Hope emergency shelter will remain open until the current cold snap passes.

For the kids: time to give back

By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

On Saturday, Nov. 28, several TV and movie actors, along with hockey stars, will gather inside the Save-On Foods store on 64 Avenue.

The likes of Canucks alumni Dave Babych, Heartland star Graham Wardle and UFC fighter and actor Jason Day are coming together for the Celebrity Christmas Food and Toy Drive to support Sophie’s Place Child Advocacy Centre.

The fundraising event, which runs from 1 to 4 p.m., is the brainchild of child sexual abuse survivors’ advocate Andy Bhatti, who felt the need to spread awareness and a little holiday cheer for children who suffer — as he did as a child.

“When you are a little kid going through sexual abuse, abuse in the home or any kind of trauma, you don’t often look forward to very much,” said Bhatti. “Often for those young victims, so much of their lives are in chaos. I know from personal experience.

“So I thought about how I could raise money, toys and food for these kids. Wouldn’t it be great if we could give these kids something to look forward to?

“I grew up poor and as difficult as Christmas was, I did look forward to getting that hamper, knowing there were gifts for me and food.”

He spoke to several celebrities he knows about his idea and they all jumped on board, he said.

Save On Foods is handing out more than 7,000 flyers with people’s groceries to promote the free event.

Every person who brings a nonperishable food item and unwrapped toy will be entered into a draw to win a jersey signed by NHL superstars and Stanley Cup winners like Ted Lindsay, Rod Langway, Johnny Bower and Darryl Sittler. The jersey is valued at around $3,500.

U as a prize and Shoppers has donated a gift basket.

The donation also gets people a photo of the stars, which they are happy to sign on site.

“It’s going to be a really great day.

It’s an opportunity to spread awareness about support for survivors of sexual abuse. It’s a way for me to show them that they aren’t alone and that there is support and help out there if they want to reach out.”

Bhatti, winner of a Courage to Come Back award, was sexually abused for several years before he got away from his abuser, fleeing into a world of heavy drug use and homelessness, sleeping on the streets of Aldergrove and the Downtown Eastside, using heroin by the age of 15.

Bhatti didn’t tell anyone about the abuse at the time; it was a police officer who helped him talk about it later in life. By then, his attacker, Joseph Baker, had been convicted of sexually abusing two boys in Kamloops.

Bhatti has been clean for nine years, helped by years of counselling and group therapy.

He has started his own charity, Survivors Supporting Survivors, and is now a trained interventionist with ASL — Intervention and Addiction Services — helping kids across Canada.

In the summer, he biked across Newfoundland to raise awareness and funds there after getting a call from a mother desperate for help for her young son who had been abused.

There are no centres like Sophie’s Place in that province.

Langley has its own division of Sophie’s Place, now open through the Langley Children Development Centre, which Bhatti said is helping local kids who have suffered sexual abuse.

Comment: Fear ourselves more than terrorism

Look into their eyes.

See the despair.

Gaze at their faces.

Read the misery and fear.

Talk to them.

Hear their countless stories of the loss of family members, homes, and entire lifestyles.

When you’ve done that, then tell Syrian and Iraqi refugees, “Stay away, you’re not welcome in Canada.”

Tell them that they’re not fleeing terror, but attempting to import it here.

That’s the great thing about directing national policy on refugees via social media.

None of the above is required.

All that’s needed is an appallingly misinformed, or selfish, tunnel-visioned view of the world, and the short time it takes to spew it onto a website.

Some of the public dia-

logue in this country surrounding the Syrian refugee debate, particularly in the wake of the horror in Paris, turns my stomach almost as much as the terror attacks themselves.

I refer to the near-hysteria and fear-mongering about importing ISIS terrorism via the Liberals’ pre-election promise to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by year’s end.

Let’s consider some actual facts: This is not a plan to take 25,000 people off the bloody battlefields of Syria, or pluck them out of Mediterranean waters, and fly them directly into Canada – although some people talk like that’s what is going to happen.

There are literally millions of people sitting in vast camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Germany and elsewhere, waiting – some for

years – for somewhere, anywhere, to go. Many have registered with the UN, and all can be screened.

They are women, and children – and yes, men – who are desperate to start a new life, free of constant fear and destruction and slaughter.

If the pitiful refugees I met covering Canadian relief efforts in Jordan and Lebanon just two years ago were hardcore terrorists, just waiting for an opportunity to come to Canada to wreak havoc, they were the best actors on the planet ... thousands of them.

Let me suggest something that I consider far more frightening than a bunch of people carrying their children on their shoulders, and their worldly possessions in plastic bags.

And that’s the virtual certainty that ISIS or terrorists of their ilk are already here. They

came here long ago, and are waiting for the signal to launch their attacks in our cities. Or, they are homegrown Canadian citizens who signed on to the fundamentalist insanity of their own volition.

Just as worrisome, if not more, are the yet-to-be jihadis – the ones ISIS and al-Qaeda can reach via the Internet.

The same social media and websites that give the “builda-wall-and-lock-us-in” types the means to rant beyond their coffee cups also provide the conduit through which terrorism flows across borders and past all the security checks in the world.

If you must be afraid, fear that. Also be afraid that terrorism will achieve one of its objectives – to cultivate paranoia and hatred around the world, because that spawns more recruits.

Be most afraid, though, of a country that turns away from its history as a generous, compassionate nation, to one that is seized by fear itself, which tramples on a global vision, and turns inward to a self-serving, self-protectionist agenda.

That won’t happen, though.

And we will not leave our own behind, as some suggest.

Governments spend billions helping citizens who need assistance. Can more be done?

Of course. Can we afford it? Of course. It is a matter of political will and planning.

Canada has done so for generations which, never forget, are composed of millions of immigrants, and refugees, of myriad nationalities and many beliefs.

Before we utter words like stay away, we must remember who we are and how we got here.

month before that. Energy Minister Bill Bennett says the main dam construction contract will be let shortly, followed by the powerhouse contract next year.

Horgan said remaining legal challenges could slow or stop the project.

The West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations have lost their case against Site C twice, in the B.C. Supreme and Federal Courts, and are appealing. The Doig River and McLeod Lake Indian Bands dropped their challenges, and McLeod Lake’s construction company has started work on a Site C contract.

West Moberly Chief Roland Willson staged a dramatic protest at the legislature last spring, bringing a cooler of frozen bull trout from a river below the two existing Peace dams, telling media they were too contaminated with mercury to eat.

Flooding land for hydro dams does elevate methylmercury levels in water, but BC Hydro provided me with the latest study that included fish samples collected by West Moberly members. It shows average methylmercury levels remain below federal guidelines for limiting consumption of commer-

cially sold fish.

It’s an odd coincidence that Willson suddenly made this claim, 47 years after the first Peace dam was completed, when he happened to be in court trying to stop Site C. A coalition of U.S. and Canadian environment groups is also demanding that Site C be stopped, using typical arguments to appeal to their low-information donor base. According to the Sierra Club and others, Site C is not renewable energy because the (largely idle) farmland it floods is a “carbon sink.” Forests do store carbon, albeit temporarily, but farmland where the trees have been cleared? This is gluten-free gobbledegook.

They also trot out the claim that Site C will be used to power liquefied natural gas operations. Most proponents so far have said they will use gas for LNG processing, and if they don’t have hydro available for ancillary power, they will have to burn more gas.

BC Hydro has just finished its latest grid upgrade, a second high-voltage transmission line from Merritt to Coquitlam. It adds disaster reliability to the system that brings power from the Peace and Columbia dams to the Lower Mainland.

If you’re arguing that hydroelectricity isn’t renewable power, you’ve already lost.

VICTORIA – The fall session of the B.C. legislature petered out two days early last week, as the ruling B.C. Liberals and the opposition NDP agreed to turn out the energy-efficient lights and head for home.

NDP leader John Horgan skipped the last day and headed to the B.C. Institute of Technology campus in Burnaby. There he announced “PowerBC,” billed as the NDP’s “bold, progressive plan for the future of B.C. energy, with a strong focus on jobs.”

Reporters asked, how many jobs? Horgan said retrofitting public buildings and homes for energy efficiency would create jobs all around the province, but he can’t say how many.

How much does the plan cost, and does it include subsidizing homeowners to fix their windows and insulation?

“The costing will be more apparent when we get closer to the election,” Horgan replied.

Whatever the cost, the NDP plan apparently rests on the assumption that the $9 billion Site C dam project on the Peace River can be stopped by an NDP government after the 2017 election.

That money would be used to build wind and solar generation, and to install a sixth and final water turbine at Revelstoke dam.

The chances of Site C being stopped are approaching zero.

GivingTuesday brings together five charities Aldergrove Star

“Building a home and financing our business, it’s everything we’ve worked for.”

Five Langley charities, including the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation, Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS), Langley Hospice Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley and the Langley School District 35 Foundation, have partnered together for #LangleyGives (www.facebook.com/langleygives) – a GivingTuesday civic movement to celebrate and promote volunteerism and philanthropy in our community.

What can you do?

1) Make a Pledge — Pledge that you or employees will volunteer at an upcoming event.

2) Become a Partner — On Tuesday, Dec. 1, help build awareness in Langley. Help by hosting a small event or agree to “Pass the Bucket” for donations at your business.

Street teams will have participation from local sports teams, the Langley Rams and the Langley Rivermen.

3) Make A Donation — Show your corporate support by encouraging your staff to give and make a corporate matching gift.

Throughout the month of November, we encourage you to tell us what you plan on doing for GivingTuesday.

You can pretty much do anything: Donate money or goods, volunteer your time, help a neighbour or start a corporate challenge.

Here’s how it works: November 1-30, email (erin.mcdonald@fraserhealth.ca) or phone (604-533-6422) our office or tag #LangleyGives and we’ll share your pledge on social media. On Dec. 1, tag #LangleyGives in pictures of your good will in action and we’ll share those, too.

GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that happens after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It is a new Canadian movement for giving and volunteering, taking place each year after Cyber Monday. We have two days that are good for the economy. Now we have a day that is good for the community, too. www.givingtuesday.ca

Week encourages buying locally

Whether you are searching for that perfect gift, wanting to enhance your home, or indulging in a little something for yourself, chances are you can find what you need right here in the Township of Langley.

And next week, consumers are asked to do just that.

November 30 to December 6 is BC Buy Local Week, and with some 7,000 licensed businesses operating in the Township, most of which are small, local business, it will be easy – and rewarding – for residents to support their local stores and services.

“There is so much available right here in our community,” said Val Gafka, the Township of Langley’s senior manager of corporate administration.

“The Township is full of unique, successful businesses that offer exceptional products and services and we really encourage people get out and explore, to discover what can be found in their own backyard during BC Buy Local Week.”

BC Buy Local was started by a Lower Mainland business owner as a grassroots initiative in 2008.

The following year, the not-forprofit organization LOCO BC was formed to highlight locally owned,

made, and grown products and to enhance the local economy by advocating local purchasing.

Now, several municipalities including the Township of Langley participate in the annual BC Buy Local Week to showcase how local businesses keep communities and their economies strong.

“The goal of BC Buy Local is to illuminate the local market, making BC-based businesses, products, and foods more visible to consumers,” said Gafka.

“There is a lot to be gained by shopping locally,” she added.

“Local businesses create good jobs, contribute to our tax base, support local charities, and put the dollars they make back into our community by using the services and products of other local companies.

There is a positive ripple effect that greatly contributes to our municipality’s healthy economic climate.”

“For every $100 a consumer choses to spend at a local business, $46 is recirculated back into the local economy,” Gafka said. “And from an environmental standpoint, shopping locally reduces the need to transport people and goods, which reduces our carbon footprint.”

“As well, there is a sense of pride that comes from knowing what you

Thunderbirds split another pair

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

The Fraser Valley Thunderbirds and South Island Royals split their weekend back to back series.

Fraser Valley claimed Game 1, with thanks to goals from Logan Hunter, Baxter Anderson, and Jonathan Stein.

Paul Tucek, tending, got the win in goal with another strong performance.

Being good hosts to the Victoria team, the TBirds gave the visitors a shut out win on the

Sunday morning game, thanks to timely Royal goaltending with various TBirds being unable to bury one, despite some great puck passing and puck possession, which they were unable to convert.

The TBirds were in Nelson to play a back to back series against the Kootenay Ice Nov. 21 and 22 before returning home to play the Thompson Blazers from Kamloops on Nov. 28, 4 p.m. and on Nov 29, 9:45 a.m., games at Abbotsford Centre.

Totems fall at BC’s

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Aldergrove Secondary school’s senior boys soccer team lost all three of their first games at the Provincial AA Boys Championship.

Aldergrove fell to John Oliver school Monday morning, 0-1, and later that day fell 0-2 against the David Thompson side, on

Monday.

Aldergrove lost their game Tuesday morning against St. Michael’s University, 0-5, before the finals that afternoon.

Aldergrove plays Rockridge at 12:45 p.m.

Tuesday (after The Star’s press deadline, see The Star’s website for updates) in the battle for eighth place starting at 2:45 p.m.

Kodiaks slip to fourth place

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

The Aldergrove Kodiaks slipped to fourth place in the Harold Brittain conference after losing 1-2 to the Richmond Sockeyes last Thursday.

Kodiak Derian White opened the game’s scoring at 6:34 into the second period, but the Sockeyes responded a minute later to even it up. A late marker in the dying minute of the third put the win in Richmond’s hands.

White, who was assisted by Davin Padgham and Nathan Washington, earned the game’s third star.

Niether team scored on either of three power plays and the Kodiaks outshot the Sockeyes 22-17.

The Kodiaks are now at 20 points after 21 games ((9-100-2), ten points ahead of the Langley Knights but 17 behind Mission City Outlaws.

Flames blaze to 10-7 win over Kodiaks The Aldergrove Kodiaks gave it their all against the Ridge Meadows Flames on Wednesday, Nov. 18 but had to settle for a 10-7 loss to the visitors.

The Kodiaks peppered the

Enrolment up sharply in Abbotsford

By TYLER OLSEN Aldergrove Star

that had seen school enrolment decrease by 27,000 students across the province over the previous five years. In the short-term, the increase is good for the district and has allowed it to hire more teachers and support staff.

The main challenge now facing the district is to find out why enrolment has jumped and whether it is a one-off occurrence or a sign of things to come.

Aldergrove United Church Welcomes you.

Come and join our services and enjoy the fellowship Sundays @ 10:00 am #101 - 27336 Fraser Hwy. • 604-856-8675 auc-office@telus.net

An unexpected jump in enrolment at the Abbotsford school district has resulted in full classrooms and $1.7 million in extra funding from the province.

Administrators had expressed surprise in September when a preliminary headcount seemed to show an increase in enrolment of around 20 students, defying a pro-

jected 48-student decrease in enrolment heading into the 2015-16 school year. The final audited headcount for this year showed an even steeper increase, with enrolment rising by 190 students, from 18,763 to 19,563 students in local schools, including those taking online courses through the Abbotsford Virtual School.

The numbers mean Abbotsford has bucked a recent B.C. trend

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service is a composite Fire Service in that Career firefighters and Auxiliary firefighters work as a team. Auxiliary firefighters play an important support role in responding to emergencies.

Interested candidates are invited to attend an Information Session at 7:00 PM on December 10, 2015 at Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service Training Centre located at 1544 Riverside Rd. Abbotsford. Competition closes on Monday, January 11, 2016, @ noon.
