Volunteers keep the needy warm and clean By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

A small group of volunteers in Aldergrove and Surrey are making sure that the homeless and disadvantaged in the Fraser Valley have warm and clean clothing provided at no charge. Free Clothing BC has been delivering the clothes and personal health items to at least 2,000 people over the past three years it’s been in existence. Dan and Charmaine Deyette of Aldergrove and Tanya McLean of Surrey first met while serving as volunteers with another organization. They decided to start their own organization in February of 2012, with the goal of providing only new, or clean used, clothing items to those in need. “We launder every single used item that we give out and we store them in standard storage boxes in heated, rented mini-storage lockers in Surrey and Aldergrove,” says Dan. “It’s safer and that way there’s no chance of vermin getting into the goods. We feel better about doing it this way than using ‘free’ sheds for storing everything.” The organization hosts regular events at schools and churches where the public is invited to come in and choose what they may need. These events are publicized through social media such as Facebook, as well as posters at the food banks, Job Zone offices, shelters and so on. They also do regular deliveries of goods to persons in need at shelters such as Abbotsford’s Warm Zone for women, the 5 and 2 Ministry at the homeless camp at Abbotsford’s Jubilee Park and the Aboriginal

Friendship Centre and the Hub Society in Surrey. “I used to walk around the homeless camp and hand out clothing but the 5 and 2 Ministry pastor knows who needs what and gives it out when they serve dinners every night. “We drop off ‘premie’ clothes

at Abbotsford Regional Hospital, because that’s the most effective way to get these goods into the mothers’ hands,” said Dan. “We give out diapers, formula, soaps and shampoos, along with only new socks and underwear. “We also take on individual cases

such as the Aldergrove family who just lost their wife and mother, she was only 35, to a heart condition — they needed some help.” Donors, whether they be individuals, organizations or businesses, drop off new and used goods to the Deyette and McLean family homes

or to the mini-storage units. Donors can also arrange pickup of goods by calling 604-512-4116 or emailing tanya@freeclothingbc.com for Surrey and Delta pickups or charmaine@ freeclothingbc.com for Langley, Aldergrove and Abbotsford pickups. “Jack Dhaliwal of Aldergrove Mini Storage has been hugely supportive of our program from the start, and with a recent donation from Fraser Point Church we were able to rent another storage unit in Surrey on King George Highway. So we now have two locations for our bases.” The Fraser Point Church, led by pastor Bill Hamilton at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley, has been particularly supportive of Free Clothing BC by providing donations totaling $7,300 over the past two years. These funds enabled the organization to legally incorporate as the Fraser Valley Free Clothing Society, as well as purchase a much-needed enclosed trailer to transport the goods, with enough money left over to purchase new items such as the socks and underwear. “We process two and a half truckloads of goods a week and the trailer has been a real blessing. Our children are big helpers but once we’re all in our mini-van there is not much room left over for the clothing boxes and renting a big truck got pricey real fast,” said Dan. “With the trailer we can now easily carry all the contents of a mini-storage unit to the events.” Information on the program is on the website: http://www.freeclothingbc.com/ or phone 604-512-4116.

Aldergrove welcomes new year with ‘big bang’ By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

If you were in Aldergrove and heard a loud boom on New Year’s Day, it wasn’t just your head pounding from too much partying the night before.

Something did explode, confirmed Langley RCMP. Around 11 a.m., an anonymous caller alerted police about possible explosives underneath the stairwell of the former Catholic church at 272 Street and 28 Avenue.

Langley RCMP arrived on the scene and saw a detonator cord sticking out of a plastic bag, which was filled with a suspicious device, said Cpl. Holly Largy. Officers took pictures and sent them to the RCMP Explosive Device

Unit. The EDU arrived and determined that it wasn’t safe to transport the material, which they determined was old blasting caps, so they detonated them on site, resulting in the large blast that was heard throughout Aldergrove, said Largy.

“It was determined that the blasting caps were stolen during a break and enter on Christmas Day at an Aldergrove business,” said Largy. The caps were very old and had been used to blow up large tree stumps.

A rollover crash sent two to hospital and closed Fraser Highway at 240 Street for a few hours on Sunday. Around 1:30 p.m., a Toyota camper van, driven by a 23-year-old Langley man, was travelling west along Fraser Highway when police say he drove through a red light. An SUV, driven by a 53-year-old Langley man, was travelling south on 240 Street through the green light,

Quake alert system provided 13 seconds of warning By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

Last week’s mild earthquake provided a real world test of an early warning system developed by UBC researchers that could help B.C. residents survive a deadly quake. Thirteen seconds before buildings began to shake at 11:40 p.m. Dec. 29, research engineer Kent Johansen already knew what was coming and that their system works. “It worked like a charm,” he said. Johansen was working late in his home office in Burnaby when the alert came in from the network of quake sensors that have been

installed mainly at Catholic schools and a few public ones in the Lower Mainland, Nanaimo and Victoria. His computer emitted a rumbling noise pre-programmed to indicate elevated shaking was imminent. “I looked at the screen and I see the bar graph go right through the roof – 10 times more than I’ve ever seen in the year and a quarter that we’ve been running,” he said. “I thought ‘Holy smokes that’s a real one.’” Johansen resisted the temptation to wait for the seismic data flow in and instead bounded upstairs to his wife and seven-year-old daugh-

with the technology and are expected to come online soon, joining the initial 61 sites that have received the UBC technology since 2013. Johansen hopes to extend the same warning system to anyone via apps on smart phones and other alert methods. He’s already experimenting with a text message system and automated Twitter account (@EEW_ BC) to beam out alerts, though he stresses he doesn’t know how much warning time is lost in transmission and reception. Even a few seconds warning could allow surgeons to put down scalpels and lab techs to turn off gas burners.

Still no agreement between landowner group and pipeline co. By TYLER OLSEN Aldergrove Star

The delayed review of the twinning of the Trans Mountain Pipeline has also snarled negotiations between Kinder Morgan Canada and a group of Fraser Valley landowners, according to the group’s president. Peter Reus, a Sumas Prairie grower who heads the Collaborative Group of Landowners Affected by Pipelines (CGLAP), said talks between the two parties continue to be stuck on his group’s insistence on ongoing annual payments. Construction on the proposed pipeline had initially been pegged to begin in 2016, which had Reus confident an agreement could be reached soon. He says more than 60 kilome-

tres of the Trans Mountain pipeline cross 79 different properties owned by CGLAP members around the valley. But the National Energy Board’s (NEB) review of the pipeline was delayed in September after a consultant for Kinder Morgan Canada was hired by the NEB. The newly elected Liberal government has also promised to strengthen the review process, and, even pending NEB approval, construction on the pipeline is unlikely to begin until 2017. That, Reus said, has lessened the momentum towards a deal. “I think if construction would have been in 2016 we would have reached an agreement by the end of the year.” The current pipeline sits on a

right-of-way owned by the company, although Reus says that right-of-way was agreed to in 1952 regarding the present pipeline, not a future one. “This is a completely new thing,” he said. Earlier this year, Reus told The Abbotsford News the existing pipeline, which dates back 62 years, has long been a “hassle” for property owners. Reus said farmers have to call the pipeline company and wait for their assistance with any plowing below 30 centimetres. That can take time, he said, and can be problematic when a farmer hopes to take advantage of a small window of good weather to get a crop in. He said it’s in the company’s interest to work with the group, and said

he’s confident a deal will be reached, even though the current state of negotiations is “disappointing.” “I think it is very good PR for them if they can sign with a group of 80 landowners.” Kinder Morgan has been receptive to the owners’ issues, and has promised to bury the new expanded pipeline – which will be constructed 20 feet away from the existing pipe – significantly deeper. Carey Johannesson, Kinder Morgan Canada’s project lead for land and right-of-way, said they’ve also agreed to hire an “agriculture monitor” to ensure construction doesn’t harm the ability to grow on the land. Johannesson said the company has had a fruitful relationship with

CGLAP, but that the sticking point remains a financial agreement. He said the company’s previous right-of-way agreement gives it the legal ability to expand its pipeline through most of its route, but that Kinder Morgan has agreed to “essentially repurchase” the land. “To maintain good relations with the landowners in the long term, we think, is the best thing we can do,” he said. Johannesson said he expected discussions to continue. Despite the differences over payments, Reus said the two sides remain talking and hope to resolve the issues soon. “From the onset we have said we are not against it, but it still our land and they want something from us.”

Volunteers select books for Wrap-a-Read program.

Wrap-a-Read spreads cheer Aldergrove Star

On December 14, 15 and 16, the Langley Christmas Bureau on Fraser Highway brought together families in need and community volunteers to create a brighter Christmas. This annual event includes the 14th annual Wrap-a-Read program which gives parents or caregivers the opportunity to choose a new book for children up to 18 years old. The Langley Literacy Network sponsors the book event, which is financially supported by the City of Langley, Township of Langley TD Bank, Fortis B.C and the Langley Christmas Bureau.

The Wrap-a-Read program takes place every December in partnership with the Langley Christmas Bureau and the Fraser Valley Regional Library. Dedicated volunteers from the Literacy Network use the funds provided from their sponsors to purchase books in a variety of genres for diverse age groups and reading levels. In 2014, 1673 new books were given out and this year 1,661 books were distributed to Langley families. The Langley Literacy Network is a non-profit organization founded in 2001 to enhance literacy skills throughout the community. The Christmas event focuses on the

reading interests and abilities of young people as a way to encourage, promote and support literacy and life-long learning. A child’s reading skills are an important key to their future success in school and in any subsequent work or occupation. In addition, reading is a fun and imaginative activity for children which opens doors to all kinds of new worlds for them. Early literacy skills can also blossom into a more diverse and robust vocabulary as well as enhancing a deeper understanding of language structure and support creative and critical thinking.

When Kim Burns’s husband PJ embarked on his master’s degree in environmental education, the couple started learning all kinds of things about what is happening to our planet and the ecosystem. And as they learned, Kim said, “I started feeling like I wanted to do something to make a difference.” So she started collecting recyclables from residents within her Murrayville housing complex. And as she collected, Kim said, she was shocked by the volume of returnables that accumulated. “That was one week’s worth,” she said, pointing to a box full of dead batteries and a mound of plastic bags. “It surprised me - and that’s why I do what I do.” What Kim does is volunteer with the Township of Langley’s Recycling Ambassador Program, an initiative for residents in multi-family complexes who want to increase recycling, reduce waste, and have an impact on where they live. Volunteers are provided with a training workshop, educational materials, posters and promotional items, along with ongoing assistance and support from Township staff. For their part, Ambassadors educate and inspire their neighbours to recycle and take that extra step to keep items out of the landfill and the environment. “We recycled and used our Blue Box before, but we never thought about it any more than that,” said Kim. But when she learned how toxic waste from discarded batteries can leach into the ground, she wanted to do more. So she went to the Township’s website, found out about the Ambassador Program at

Signage explains substation’s history Aldergrove Star

It is such a formal looking structure in an unexpected location that its presence has been intriguing passersby for decades. In November, an interpretive sign was installed by the Township of Langley to convey its history and help explain the mystery surrounding the turn of the century concrete building that can be found out in the country by the railway tracks. Known as the BCER Langley Substation, the structure was built at 6835 - 256 Street by the BC Electric Railway in 1910. Historically referred to as Coghlan Substation, it supplied 600 volts of direct current to boost the interurban trains traveling between New Westminster and Chilliwack. “It is a unique and imposing structure and many questions have been posed by curious citizens, railway enthusiasts, and tourists who have

come across it,” said Township of Langley Heritage Planner Elaine Horricks. The four storey building, which features early 20th century Classical Revival architecture, was designed by architect Henry B. Watson, who gave the industrial building a sense of grandeur and created a landmark with its unique design. The building, which was added to Langley Township’s Community Heritage Register in October 2013, was purchased by Bryant Ross and two other artists in 1987 to use as art studio space. Over the years it has been used by many well-known artists, including painters Norval Morrisseau, Issac Bignel, and Gerry Meeches, and Northwest Coast carvers Gene Brabant and the Hunt Family. It is now a gallery called Coghlan Art, which features contemporary Native wood carvings, paintings, and prints from the Pacific Northwest Coast. Since taking over the build-

New signage outlining the history of the Langley Substation, a unique heritage building at 6835 - 256 Street, was unveiled by (left to right) Heritage Advisory Committee cochair and Township of Langley councillor Bob Long, mayor Jack Froese, Heritage Advisory Committee member Harold Whittell, building owner and artist Bryant Ross, and Heritage Advisory Committee co-chair Tom Annandale.

ing, Ross has had to constantly explain the Substation’s history to hundreds of people whose curiosity has led them to his door – which is why the new signage will come in handy. “Many people when they see this building can’t help but wonder what it was used for,” he said. “The sign will help provide them with some of its history.” The signage was developed the Township of Langley, Ross, and the Township’s Heritage Advisory Committee. Measuring 6.5 by 7 feet, the interpretive sign was designed for pedestrians and for drivers who can simply pull over and read it from their vehicles. Coghlan Station, and the surrounding Coghlan area, was named after BCER employees and Langley pioneers Henry and Nathaniel Coghlan, two brothers who cut more than 20,000 railway ties for the rail company during the line’s construction through the Fraser Valley. “As one of the first large buildings built from reinforced concrete in Langley, it is historically important because it was the focal point for travellers coming out from the city to visit this area, and to provide easy access to move produce from Langley to the markets in the city,” Ross said. One of the last structures to mark the location of the Coghlan area, the Langley Substation is one of only two BCER substations that remain. The other, the Sumas Substation in Abbotsford, has been converted into a private residence. The new Langley Substation signage was unveiled by members of Township of Langley Council, the Heritage Advisory Committee, and Ross on Nov. 24.

Editor: Welcome to the latest episode in the proposed Aldergrove “Open Air” swimming pool fiasco. We are told, ”Sorry, we cannot afford an indoor pool as promised, but we will give you an outdoor pool instead and put a canopy over it!” Brilliant! Talk about collective stupidity. Only councillor Charlie Fox had the gumption to vote against it. Last week I went for my regular swim at W.C. Blair pool. After my swim I stood and looked at all the activity taking place there. Avid swimmers were doing laps in the fast lane, while novice swimmers were walking or swimming in the slower lanes. A class of more than 30 people were doing a water aerobics class. The instructor was leading them through the routines from the poolside. I also saw the mums and dads playing and splashing around with their young children. The large Jacuzzi and diving areas were popular, as always. I estimated about 100 people were using the pool. If you multiply that by the number of hours and days the pool is in operation, a lot of members of the community are using this facility on a regular basis. What would this look like if the walls around the pool were removed? How many people would still be there enjoying it between September and May? Very few, if any. A canopy over the pool will not keep anyone warm in winter. To add insult to injury a canopy would keep the sun out during the summer, eliminating the enjoyment of an open air pool. Talk about a double whammy. Would it not make sense for the $1,574,000 dedicated for the canopy to be put into a trust fund? It could be held there until the job can be done properly. It might also attract fund raising efforts, if there was a specific goal identified for the project. So, I say to the Township of Langley Council, “Give us an indoor pool that can be used all year round as promised”. It is badly needed. Otherwise just forget about the project until such time as the job can be done correctly. Bernie and Sue Major, Aldergrove

ALC decision protested

Editor: The following letter was sent to the Agricultural Land Commission by the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society: RE: File 53509 – storm drainage system into Bertrand Creek We, the members of the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society, are disappointed by the actions of the Commission to disregard the integrity of Bertrand Creek by granting approval for the installation of a detention pond and storm drain that discharges into Bertrand Creek within the Township of Langley to drain a development in the City of Abbotsford. Your letter dated February 11, 2014 states that installing this storm drain “fulfills the Commission’s requirement that storm drainage emanating from the urban development be accommodated with the minimum possible negative impact on farmland.” This decision will have many negative impacts to Bertrand Creek, a salmon bearing stream, and home to two endangered fish species – Salish sucker and Nooksack dace, however, as your purposes are not about protection of fish and fish habitat we wish to use this as an opportunity to inform future decisions that could result in the integrity of Bertrand Creek or other stream systems being compromised with regard to the purposes of the ALC. For our wild systems to function we must continue to have functioning or, ideally, improving ecosystems inland. Discharging potentially contaminated runoff into a salmon bearing stream is not keeping with your purpose. The ALC Act also requires local governments to ensure its bylaws (growth strategies, official community plans and zoning bylaws, etc.) are consistent with the ALC Act. To that end the ALC ensures local municipalities are developing responsibly so that farm land is not compromised by poor infiltration of urban areas resulting in flooding, land erosion, depletion of groundwater, and a source of deleterious substances that can affect the health of livestock downstream. By allowing discharge of an urban area into Bertrand Creek the ALC is not taking responsibility to ensure downstream farmland is protected. We are also concerned what affect this will have on these communities meeting the Agricultural and Rural Development Subsidiary Agreement (ARDSA) and if it does not affect them will there be more decisions to attack small streams through developments like this instead of taking an integrated approach to storm water management? This approval and more like it could mean “death by a thousand cuts” to our local streams. Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society, Aldergrove

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

The mayors of the Langleys will have to trim their campaign budgets in the next municipal elections because of new provincial caps on spending. A Black Press analysis of the proposed new regulations shows, had they been in place at the time, both Township mayor Jack Froese and City mayor Ted Schaffer would have gone over the limits in the 2014 election, but all elected councillors in both municipalities would have, barely, remained within the allowed maximums. Froese reported 2014 campaign expenses of $94,559.40 in his amended disclosure statement, which is viewable on the Elections BC website. The provincial formula would have set an upper limit, based on the population of the Township, of $68,900.

Schaffer reported 2014 campaign expenses of $24,677.70. That would exceed the population-adjusted limit for the city of $21,215.55. These figures are not official, and are based on the most recent population figures posted on the two municipal websites. Candidates for council, meanwhile, would only be allowed to spend half as much as the mayoralty hopefuls. In the Township, that would have meant a ceiling of $38,584 for councillors, while City hopefuls would have had to stay below $10,607.55. No Township councillor exceeded the limit, but Blair Whitmarsh came close at $37,384.29. In the City, Paul Albrecht was just below the line at $10,362.56. The legislation will also cap spending by regional district directors and school trustees at

half the limit of mayors in their areas. “I think they’ve got this right,” said Dermod Travis, executive director for Integrity B.C., adding the sliding scale reflects the different needs of small and large communities. “It’s unfortunate the other half of the equation is not being tackled at the same time, which would be donations. But I think they’ve found a good middle for where those caps should be on expenses.” It will make it harder for wellfunded candidates to use advertising firepower to beat their opponents, he predicted. “You’re going to see less money getting spent, which means candidates have to raise less money. Which means that they’re actually going to have to campaign more in terms of meeting voters rather than buying ads.” The recommendations were

developed by a special legislative committee and have support of both the BC Liberals and NDP, as well as the Union of B.C. Municipalities. According to the committee report, Froese and Schaffer were among 31 mayoral candidates and 69 council candidates across B.C. who spent more last year than the proposed new limit will allow. The expense limits would apply from Jan. 1 of the election year until voting day. Third-party advertisers are to be limited to spending no more than five per cent of the cap of a candidate within a 28-day campaign period, up to a cumulative maximum of $150,000 provincewide. The government is taking public comments in a final round of consultations until Nov. 27 before the bill is expected to pass. - with files from Jeff Nagel

Province makes quitting smoking easier and ‘free’ By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

The B.C. government’s quitsmoking assistance program is now available to people who drop by a pharmacy to qualify for free nicotine replacement products. As of Jan. 1, 2016, participants no longer have to register by calling 8-1-1 to reach the HealthLinkBC medical advice

service. The program has also expanded its offerings to include nicotine inhalers and lozenges as well as gum and patches. Health Minister Terry Lake said the changes are to make it easier for smokers to quit, or to try again if they have relapsed after using the program before. It supplies 12 weeks’ worth of nicotine replacement products in each calendar year to B.C. resi-

dents. To qualify, people must have active Medical Services Plan coverage and be a tobacco smoker or chewer. The program began in 2011 and the province has spent $38 million on it so far. A survey of 3,000 users in 2015 found that about one in four reported quitting smoking for some period, with half of those making it a month or

more smoke free. Three quarters of survey participants reported smoking less after using nicotine replacement. The program also covers 12 weeks of prescription drugs Zyban or Champix, with cost depending on coverage under the Pharmacare program. Details are available at www. gov.bc.ca/bcsmokingcessation or from your doctor.

Ukrainian New Year celebrated Aldergrove Star

Each year, Canadians of Ukrainian heritage celebrate their Christmas and their New Year’s celebration – Malanka – some two weeks after the rest of the general population. This year, the Ukrainian Club of Abbotsford hosts its annual Malanka New Year’s Dinner and Dance on Saturday, Jan. 16 at Sts. Joachim and Ann’s Church hall, 2827 273 St. in Aldergrove. While most of the western world adheres to the Gregorian calendar which was established in 1582, many Ukrainians still recognize the holidays of the much older Julian calendar. The night of Jan. 6 sees a traditional 12-course Christmas meal being served in households, with a kolach (braided loaf) as a supper-table centrepiece, and a didukh (or decorated sheaf of wheat) FILE PHOTO standing nearby. When the youngest member of the Malanka is celebrated on Saturday, Jan. 16 at Alfamily announces that a star is visible dergrove’s Catholic church hall.

in the night sky on Svyata Vechera, the hospodar (or host) helps him light a candle, which is placed in the window. The candle is a signal to any traveller who is lost or prevented by weather from reaching home that a place is available for him at the hospodar’s table. After a traditional prayer, the first of 12 dishes is served: a centuries-old delicacy of wheat and poppy seeds and honey. A week later, Ukrainians bring in the new year with their Malanka, or New Year’s celebration. The Malanka celebration in Aldergrove features a meal of Ukrainian cuisine (perogies, holoptsi and the like) and is followed by a dance with live music by S-Bahn. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the Yevshan Ukrainian Dancers perform at 6. Dinner is served at 7 p.m. Tickets are $50 for adults, $15 for kids ages seven to 15, and free for kids six and under. They are available by calling 604-856-6136.

A real life fire truck that kids can climb on, get in, and explore will be used at special events to promote fire safety, thanks to a deal struck between Township of Langley Council and the Township of Langley Firefighters’ Charitable Society. On Dec. 14, Council approved the sale of the decommissioned fire engine to the

TLFCS for $1, allowing it to be used as draw for children. “Kids are fascinated with fire trucks and this will be such a great opportunity for them to play and learn on actual apparatus,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “They will have a blast, while learning what it takes to protect the community and be fire safe.” The old fire truck – Engine

9 – is more than 20 years old and has reached its maximum service life, making it difficult to sell. Despite being on the market for only $5,000, no offers were received from other fire departments in Canada. Engine 9 was destined to be sold for scrap or sent to auction, neither of which were money-making propositions. Then the Township of Langley

Firefighters’ Charitable Society made its request, asking Council to donate the truck to support fire safety in the community. In 2015, the TLFCS organized and attended 11 events, and brought an active fire truck out for kids to experience. Now the society can look at increasing opportunities for an actual fire engine to be on hand at community events.

Kodiaks win pair at PJHL Winter Classic By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

The Aldergrove Kodiaks took a pair of back-to-back wins over the new year weekend to improve their standing in the Pacific Junior Hockey League. The wins at the Winter Classic included a 5-1 victory over the Langley Knights on Saturday and 6-3 over Ridge Meadows Flames on Sunday. Both games were at the Richmond Arena.

The sky’s no limit when ‘Girls Fly Too’ Aldergrove Star

Langley resident Kirsten Brazier’s goal for the New Year is a lofty one. She aims to make sure 2,500 females fly for the first time. Last year, Brazier’s “The Sky’s No Limit — Girls Fly Too” event at Abbotsford International Airport, saw 1,700 females take their first flights. “It’s my passion to inspire more females to get into the aviation world. This work is so important, for the past few years I have set aside my own professional flying career in order to bring these special events to thousands with the end goal of improving gender diversity in aviation, aerospace, marine and defence,” said Brazier. She has started a gofundme account under GirlsFly2 to help cover the costs associated with organizing such a largescale event. More than 15,000 people are expected to descend on the Abbotsford International Airport on March 12 and 13 for the free Girls Fly Too

2”

event, the world’s largest aviation outreach show of its kind. She holds three world records for the event. For two days, 10 helicopters will take first-time fliers up in the sky. The hope, said Brazier, is to get females excited about careers in aviation. “This year is even bigger and better. I’ve invited the navy this year, the bomb disposal unit will bring a robot and a bomb suit, RCMP tactical team will be there too,” she said. “The event takes on a hands-on approach to capture the attention of a missing female demographic,” she points out. There are only around 1,300 female professional pilots in Canada, as compared to 23,000 male pilots. The numbers are even more dismal in the aircraft engineering and mechanics. In the Canadian Armed Forces, less than three per cent of top command positions are held by women. It’s these low numbers that have irked Brazier since she started flying 23 years ago.

Brazier is kind of a trail blazer, determined to turn the tides of a male dominated field. She has had a wild ride in the skies in her flying career, which has taken her to the Caribbean, the US and deep into the forests as a bush pilot. In 2012, while flying helicopters at Yellowknife she got permission from her boss to host a day to fly young women, in an effort to see them bitten by the flying bug. With help, she flew around 200 females. She brought it to her home town of Langley in 2014, home to many of her most dedicated volunteers. It was a huge success here but outgrew the landing strips. Last year, she moved it to Abbotsford, home of the Abbotsford Air Show — one of the events she went to annually as a child and set the wings in motion to her career. Astronaut Wendy Lawrence made a guest appearance at the event. There will be other surprises this year, said Brazier. She’s extended an invitation to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Fort Langley Elementary participated in the Indigo Adopt-a-School campaign this year and was lucky enough to have Coles Books adopt the school for the program. The giving began this past summer when Coles gave the students of Fort Langley Elementary four boxes of brand new books – sets of six of some of their most popular books – mostly novels. Fort Langley then participated in the Adopt-a-School campaign which allows people to ‘adopt’ the school and donate to the fund. Coles also advertised on behalf of Fort Langley and between what was raised in the store and what parents contributed in monetary donations and “adopts”, almost $3000 was raised. But that was not the end! In early December, Fort Langley Principal Tia Henriksen received a call from Coles Books in Willowbrook to see if she would be free to come to the store because they had more gifts for the school in

addition to the $3000 already raised to spend on the library! Not knowing what to expect Ms. Henriksen visited the store when it opened on Tuesday only to be presented with a large gift bag full of books, each chosen by a Coles staff person for students to enjoy. As if that wasn’t enough, Ms. Henriksen was also presented a cheque for $5000! With the first campaign that raised $3000 and the additional $5000, Fort Langley Elementary now has nearly $8000 in Indigo gift cards to spend on books for the library, all in addition to the many books provided by Coles and donations. Fort Langley Elementary is very pleased to have been a part of the Indigo Adopt-a-School Campaign, Giving Day from Indigo and very grateful to the wonderful people at Coles Books in WIllowbrook Shopping Centre. In the words of Ms. Henriksen, “we are feeling very fortunate!”
