‘Giving with one hand, taking with the other’ Advocates warn elimination of $45/year bus pass will impact disabled Tyler OLSEN

QUEENS OF SHEBA

Abbotsford News

For 11 years, Andrea Wetteland says her BC Bus Pass has been her “lifeline,” allowing her to get around town without thinking how much transportation is eating into her fixed disability income from the province. This year, however, Wetteland is faced with what she says is an unwelcome dilemma – whether to use the majority of the first increase to disability assistance in nine years to augment her already tight budget, or to use it on that vital lifeline, which connects her with programs, friends and visits with her children. When Finance Minister and Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong brought in the province’s 2016 budget, it came with what seemed like good news for disability advocates, who had long called for disability assistance rates to be raised to keep up with inflation. The 2016 budget aimed to address that by boosting the disability benefit by $77 per month. But as the government gave more, it also eliminated a special $45/year bus pass for the disabled. Now, those who wish to take the bus can pay $52 per month, along with a $45 yearly administrative fee. Currently, 35,000 people around the province use the bus pass. Those who choose to buy a pass will be left with an additional $25 per month over the previous disability allowance, for a year-over-year increase of just under three per cent. It’s a move the province says is meant Continued on A5

Andrea Wetteland, who has fragile X syndrome, says she counts on the bus to get around, but isn’t sure if she’ll renew her BC Bus Pass after the provincial government ended a $45-per-year pass for those with disabilities.

Renewed optimism for homeless village proposal Plan would see 40 cabins and outbuildings built on Valley Road Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News

It may be overgrown with weeds now, but Jeff Gruban has renewed optimism that a twoacre parcel of undeveloped land on Valley Road near the Matsqui Transfer Station could play a big role in helping solve homelessness in Abbotsford. Last week, the Abbotsford Dignitarian Society, of which Gruban is the president, resubmitted its proposal for a community of 40 cabins to house the homeless. The group had first submitted a proposal for what it calls “Abby Digs” nearly two years ago, but that project stalled, in part because the proposal was included in another plan by a landscaping company for an adjacent area on the same nine-acre parcel of undeveloped land. On Thursday, the society resubmitted to the city its application for a temporary-use permit for the site, which is currently zoned for agricultural/residential use but not included in the Agricultural Land Reserve. After examination by staff, the application

Abbotsford Dignitarian Society board secretary Nancy Gallagher and president Jeff Gruban stand at the site of a proposed 40-cabin housing project for the homeless TYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News on Valley Road. would need approval by city council. While Gruban was hesitant to comment on how he thinks council might respond to the application, he said he feels optimistic about the society’s proposal and that there seems to be more interest in the project than ever before. He said the lack of affordable housing in Abbotsford, the temporary nature of the 40-bed Riverside Road winter shelter, and last fall’s Supreme Court decision that gives the

homeless the right to set up overnight camp in public parks have all put into stark relief the need for more shelters for the homeless. “There is a feeling from my perspective … that there is now interest in parsing our plan,” Gruban said. The society’s proposal is inspired by a “dignity village” for homeless people in Portland, Ore., but has several differences, Gruban said. As envisioned by the society, the project would feature 40 eight-

by-10-foot cabins, with separate buildings for cooking, washrooms and showers. The society put the cost to construct the two-stage project at just $250,000, with the hope that money could be raised through fundraising. Last month, Mayor Henry Braun said safety concerns and the lack of upkeep of the Gladys Avenue protest encampment had him wary of setting aside property for self-regulated camping and shelters for the homeless. Gruban said the Abby

Digs proposal entails “several layers of management,” and council would have the ability to pull the site’s permit. Residents would elect a strata council, Gruban said, but there would also be an on-site salaried caretaker, and the entire project would be managed by the Abbotsford Dignitarian Society’s board of directors. Operating costs would be covered by rent from occupants. Gruban noted that social assistance provides recipients with $375 for housing, and that while the cost of renting in Abbotsford usually far exceeds that sum, rents of that total would be sufficient to operate the site. While the proposal has just gone before council, Gruban said that once approved, construction would be completed by winter. Gruban said the society has also planned extensive consultations with the public. The last time the proposal was submitted, in 2014, a petition was created in opposition to the project. Opponents worried about property crime, along with the rural nature of the site.

But he said many applicants don’t do enough research to meet even the basic criteria – for example, they don’t have basic first aid or they haven’t had an eye exam within the last six months. Another area where they are often unprepared is the grueling Peace Officers Physical Abilities Testing (POPAT), which includes obstacles, jumps, an agility bar, an 80-pound pushpull exercise and a 100pound bag carry. The test must be completed within four minutes and 15 seconds, and applicants are also required to finish a 2.4 km run following the completion of the POPAT. Wilcox said many people are fit enough to complete the run, but underestimate the stamina and strength needed to finish the POPAT. Information about the selection process and required steps is on the APD website at abbypd. ca under “careers.” The APD is also holding an information session for prospective applicants on Wednesday, March 16 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Clearbrook Library (32320 George Ferguson Way). Those planning to attend should RSVP to jwilcox@abbypd.ca by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 11.

Ministry: About fairness and equity From A1

to give disability recipients more choice and put those in rural areas on level terms. But disability advocates have reacted angrily, calling the move “mean-spirited” and saying it will force the disabled to choose between transportation and necessities like food. A petition has been launched that organizers hope will hit 20,000 names by Wednesday. Wetteland, who is 28, has fragile X syndrome, a genetic disorder that brings with it learning disabilities and some cognitive impairment. Chatty and outgoing, Wetteland is high-functioning and has held down a four-days-a-week job at A&W for the last eight months. She lives on her own, and budgets carefully for her expenses and the ever-rising cost of living. She says she can afford to pay her bills only because she augments her disability cheque with her earnings from her minimum-wage job. Wetteland can’t drive, and counts on the bus for both her social life and to continue accessing those community programs that have given her the skills to obtain and keep a job. She also uses it to visit her two children, whom she had

at a young age and gave up for adoption. “I need the bus to go anywhere.” Wetteland appreciates that the government’s move gives her a choice in how to spend the additional money, and she’s considering using single tickets rather than a monthly pass. But the dilemma isn’t particularly welcome.

I don’t know what to do. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. Wetteland “I don’t know what to do,” she said. “I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.” In a statement to The News, the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation said the “changes are about fairness and equity. Currently, about 45,000 people on disability assistance do not receive any transportation supports. As of September, everyone on disability assistance will receive the same level of benefits.” The ministry noted that those with a bus pass will see their benefits increase

by $25 per month, that the province has the fourth-highest disability assistance rates in the country, and that B.C. will continue to offer a discounted bus pass for the disabled. The discounts are provided by transit system operators, not the province. The government has said the budget for the BC Bus Pass program was $20 million. But for the disabled who rely on buses to stay involved in their community, the move will force difficult choices, according to Rick Beckett, an employment specialist at Abbotsford Community Services (ACS). Beckett says access to transportation is key for many of the clients he works with. He said the government’s move “is a disincentive for people to get employment and purchase a bus pass.” He said making transportation more expensive is likely to discourage some from venturing forth from their homes and building the skills they need to be happy and productive. The increase to the disability benefit was welcomed, but the bus pass hike has left service providers disappointed. “It’s giving with one hand and taking with the other.”

ABBOTSFORD NEWS I Wednesday, March 9, 2016

Giving and taking The provincial government made itself a target for the flak it’s receiving for doing away with a $45/year bus pass for the disabled. For the first time in nine years, the province did boost disability benefits by $77 per month. But those who want to keep their bus pass will get to keep just a third of that hike, because they will now have to shell out $52 each month for transit. It’s understandable that advocates for the disabled are upset about the move, since those who want to keep their bus pass will reap just $25 each month – a sum that does little to help keep up with ever-escalating costs. The government says altering the bus pass program was done in the name of fairness for those who don’t use transit. But equality is rarely best served by taking away assistance for those who need a bit of extra help. Thousands of disabled people rely on

transit to access programs, visit family and friends, and get to work. Ramping up the cost of a bus pass by more than 1,300 per cent annually will likely deter some from moving around town. That is good neither for the individuals concerned, nor for society at large, which benefits when all its members feel included and have opportunity to contribute. For the province, the costs of the pass are minimal, as the $20 million price tag for the BC Bus Pass program is minuscule in terms of a multi-billion-dollar budget. If the province is concerned about equity for those in rural areas who can’t take the bus, it might want to consider how it can help those men and women, rather than withdraw a benefit for others. The government’s efforts would be better spent ensuring disability benefits keep up with rising costs, rather than, as one advocate put it, giving with one hand and taking away with the other.

Future includes marijuana It was with habitual dismay I read the March 2 comments by Member of Parliament Ed Fast regarding the recent green light given by the courts for people to grow medical marijuana in their homes. A bit of history that should not be forgotten. Marijuana probably never would have begun being grown indoors, certainly not at the scale seen in the last few decades, if paraquat had not been sprayed on outdoor grown fields of the plant. That was the beginning of the end of so-called war on drugs. The health scare faced by paraquat-tainted marijuana is what resulted in marijuana being grown in all our neighbourhoods. No one wanted outdoor grown marijuana anymore. Ed Fast should think about things a bit more before he decides who is to blame for his concerns. People just like Ed Fast and their prohibitionist outlook were the people that brought indoor homegrown marijuana to your neighbourhood. Moreover, I think it is past time the conservative aspects of our community (hello, city hall) embraced a future which includes marijuana and industrial hemp. By turning our backs on this valuable crop, grown indoors or out, we are depriving our community of the biggest opportunity for economic growth to come along in quite some time. Our children deserve nothing less. Randal Dillon

For the record In Friday’s edition, The News incorrectly indicated that 76 per cent of respondents said “Yes” to an online News poll last week, asking: “Do you support the school board’s decision to change rural schools to the Grade 6 to 8 middle school system?” In fact, 76 per cent of respondents replied “No,” with 24 per cent replying “Yes.”

Caputo’s second book, titled You Can’t Make This Stuff Up, was released in September 2014 and

A pledge for a year of kind acts Local school district trustee plans to do at least one nice thing a week in her community Kelvin GAWLEY Contributor

Shirley Wilson is planning to spend a year devoted to acts of kindness, beginning on her 50th birthday. Wilson, an Abbotsford school district trustee,

will be carrying out what she calls “inconvenient acts of kindness” at least once a week, starting on March 20, when she passes the half-century mark in her life. “It’s a gift to myself; I’m going to feel good,”

she said. Wilson said she already works in the non-profit sector and is a member of the Rotary Club of Abbotsford, in addition to her duties as a trustee, but she feels compelled to challenge

herself to do more, as well as set an example for how members of a community should act. “It’s an awareness project,” she said. Wilson already does do kind things for strangers but she feels she does it “far less than necessary.” The onea-week minimum will compel her to do more, she said. The kind acts will include giving soup to homeless people, supplying baby clothes and blankets to new parents, and spending time with lonely elderly people. She said that many of these acts will not require money but she has set aside “less than a $1,000” to pay for the kindnesses. She will also be seeking suggestions or re-

quests for help. “I have a lot of agents out there who will bring things to me,” she said. Wilson said the idea for this pledge came to her as she was reflecting on her life, especially her tough childhood growing up in northern B.C. as one of 10 children. She said that despite being poor and living in a two-bedroom home without indoor plumbing or central heating, her parents always gave to others when they could. “If we had wood in the fireplace, it meant we had enough to give to others,” she said. “They would hear about others who had less, and they would do whatever they could to ensure that those families got help.”

HALF MARATHON / 10K RUN / 5K FUN RUN / ULTRA MARATHON / TRAIL RUN

Marissa Cepelinski

www.capitalcorefinancial.com “I had no idea my life would be impacted so profoundly”, recalls Marissa Cepelinski, an ultra runner and new board member of Run for Water. “I was holding this little girl’s hand in Ethiopia when it hit me that the money I raised was going to change her life forever.” Cepelinski had joined 15 other runners from the Lower Mainland on a trip to Ethiopia to visit the remote village of Hidri where they collectively raised more than $100,000 to dig a clean water well and a build a new school. Marissa first encountered Run for Water four years ago when a friend of hers invited her to run the 55km Ultra Marathon. This noncompetitive team event follows the trail system from Chilliwack to Abbotsford with the goal of raising money for clean water. “I have done many other running events but there is something unique about the Run for Water Ultra experience. It was my opportunity to combine my love for running with my passion to give back,” Cepelinski explains. Cepelinski, recalls of that life changing event, “when I was walking for water I stopped and looked at this girl and realized that for only $35 I could change her life forever and give her a chance through

education I knew right then that I had a responsibility to respond to what I had seen.” Marissa is the co-founder of Capital Core Financial and with a company goal to redirect one billion dollars from CRA towards the non-profit, she is on a mission to help people implement charitable giving into their financial plan. She is excited to raise thousands of dollars this year for clean water projects in Ethiopia. Marissa was asked to join the Run for Water board when she returned from the trip. “I feel so lucky to be working with an organization like Run for Water . I get to combine so many of my life passions.”

THIS YEAR RUN + RAISE

Across Canada, churches and other groups have come together to sponsor thousands of refugees from war-torn Syria. Through these efforts, as many as 25,000 people affected by that crisis will find new homes in Canada. But the majority of Syrians in desperate need of help do not want to come to Canada. They are in places like Lebanon and Jordan, or within Syria itself, and they want to go home to rebuild their lives when the war ends. People who want to help Syrian refugees in those countries, through the Canadian

Foodgrains Bank, can do so through the Make a Difference Auction at McClary Stockyard in Abbotsford on March 24. Altogether, over 11 million people have been affected by the conflict. About eight million people within Syria have been displaced from their homes, and another four million people have fled the country to live as refugees in surrounding countries. Canadian Foodgrains Bank is responding to these needs, providing emergency food for families displaced from their homes. With support from the Canadian government,

since November 2012, the Foodgrains Bank has provided over $29 million in emergency food assistance for people affected by the Syrian crisis in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. More help is needed; although there is talk of peace, it will be a long time before these refugees can go home. In the meantime, they will continue to require assistance.

The Sparkle Project came in the top five in the initial voting process and presented a 10-minute pitch to a panel of judges as a result. The Best Community Impact Award – won by Cedar Opportunities Co-op Cafe, a business that employs people with developmental disabilities in Nanaimo – was one of 10 given out this year. The awards are staged by Small Business B.C., a resource centre for small business owners, partially funded by the ministry of small business.

Abbotsford’s own Leland Klassen headlines at Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club this week in a rare appearance in his hometown. Klassen is a sought-after comedy veteran who has toured across North America and beyond. Although folks in Abbotsford have been able to see him on television on such shows as the Comedy Network’s Just For Laughs and CBC television’s Halifax Comedy Festival or even on Netflix’s American comedy compilation special Thou Shalt Laugh V, they rarely get a chance to see him live. “It’s great because I don’t often get a chance to perform so close to home,” Klassen said of this week’s performances. “Basically, the audience will get the same hilarious show that they always get at the club, plus some local content that the other headliners just don’t know about Abbotsford. It’s the best of both worlds.” Yuk Yuk’s opened last December at
