At the start of the year, most of us make it a goal to lose weight. However, for a variety of reasons we lose focus of that goal. Whether its suffering plateaus with weight loss, getting tired of eating the same foods, birthdays, anniversaries etc we all get off track. Now is the perfect time to try something new and refocus. There’s 3 months until the start of summer, just enough time to achieve those goals!

▶ SUKHVIR BADHESA, 39, CHARGED WITH SECOND-DEGREE MURDER KEVIN DIAKIW

A man has been arrested in relation to the murder of a woman in North Surrey over the weekend. On Sunday, (March 20) at 5:40 a.m., police were called to adomestic disturbance at a home in the 10100 block of 128A Street. When Surrey RCMP arrived, they found two women who had been injured. One of them was a 61-year-old, who died as a result. Sukhvir Badhesa, 39, was arrested at the scene and faces charges of second-degree murder, aggravated assault and uttering threats. A neighbour said the house police attended was home to a family that included an adult couple, their children, and the mother of one of the parents. The neighbour said they had lived at the house for about four years. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken over the investigation. Anyone with further information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 or www.solvecrime.ca

2016: A SHOOTING A WEEK ▶ GUN VIOLENCE IN SURREY IS OUTPACING 2015 – A YEAR THAT SAW 47 SHOOTINGS, MANY OF THEM BELIEVED TO BE LINKED TO AN ONGOING DRUG TURF WAR KEVIN DIAKIKW

Shots rang out in Surrey again this week, the 11th confirmed shooting in a city recoiling from a rash of gun violence this year.

On Sunday, March 20 at 6:50 a.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a call of shots fired in the 11000 block of 132 Street. On arrival, police found shell casings at the scene and evidence showed bullets fired into a home. No one was hurt and Mounties say the occupants of the home are known to police. The incident comes two days after a shooting in Newton at 144 Street and 92 Avenue. Shell casings were also found at that scene and police were alerted that a man had arrived at Surrey Memorial Hospital with a gunshot wound. The victim is a 23-year-old from Surrey who is known to police.

Police say that investigation is in the early stages, but they believe it was a targeted shooting. Investigators are still trying to determine whether the shooting is related to previous incidents of gun violence in the Newton area. Sunday’s incident is the 11th shooting this year – or almost one a week as of March 20. That number will rise if a March 11 homicide in Newton is determined to be related to a shooting. continued on page 6

Police seek hitand-run vehicle in fatal collision ▼ 57-YEAR-OLD WOMAN LOST HER LIFE IN NORTH SURREY ON MARCH 14 KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey RCMP have released information about the make and model of a vehicle believed to have been responsible for fatally hitting a woman and then driving away. A 57-year-old woman was crossing King George Boulevard near 83 Avenue on Monday, March 14 at about 6:45 a.m. when she was hit by a car, which then fled the scene. The woman was taken to hospital, where she died. Investigators now believe the suspect vehicle may be a 2010 or 2011 grey Honda CRV (pictured below). The vehicle would have notable damage to the front end. “We are appealing to anyone who may have information about a vehicle that matches this description to contact our Criminal Collision Investigation Team,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “If you are the driver involved, or know who this person is, we ask you to do the right thing and contact our investigators immediately.”

Investigators are reviewing all available video footage in the area and are pursuing a number of other investigative avenues to identify the driver responsible, Schumann said. Anyone with more information about this collision is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca Surrey RCMP is continuing to remind pedestrians and drivers to pay extra attention on the roadways. Last Monday’s hit-and-run is the second fatal pedestrian collision of the year in Surrey. In addition, six out of the seven serious injury collisions in the city have also involved pedestrians. Surrey RCMP’s Traffic Services has spent considerable resources on pedestrian safety enforcement and education and are involved in the provincial distracted driving campaign throughout this month, Schumann said.

Fraser Health says it will have a new crew of anesthesiologists take the place of those currently there in one year if the current doctors don’t agree to provide around-the-clock on-site service. EVAN SEAL

Anesthesiologists put on notice by Fraser Health ▼ DOCTORS HAVE ONE YEAR TO PROVIDE ON-SITE, 24/7 SERVICE OR THEY’LL BE FIRED, HEALTH AUTHORITY SAYS KEVIN DIAKIW

Fraser Health is planning to fire all its anesthesiologists working at Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) if they fail to provide on-site, around-the-clock obstetric service. It’s the latest in a long and festering dispute between anesthesiologists and the region over staffing and pay rates. Fraser Health Authority (FHA) says patient care is at risk and has sent out a warning letter to 28 anesthesiologists saying their privileges to practise at SMH will be revoked as of March 1, 2017. Women in labour are being forced to deliver children without epidurals because of the staffing shortfall, Fraser Health says. More than 50 per cent of women at hospitals in Canada use epidurals, a painkiller injected into the back, allowing momsto-be to stay awake for delivery. The epidural rate is considered the marker for the availability of an anesthesiologist. Only about one-third of women at ▶ “If you SMH get epidurals. Dr. Roy Morton, vice-preshad difficulty ident of medicine at Fraser recruiting Health and a retired anesthesiologist, said his plan is to have anesthesiologists the doctors work two 12-hour seven years ago, day shifts, two 12-hour night shifts, and have four days off. imagine what that In addition, there would be two recruitment is months of holidays per year. It’s the same schedule going to look like followed by emergency room now.” nurses, Morton told The Leader Thursday. DR. ROLAND ORFALY Fraser Health also says there are

delays in getting anesthesia for C-sections. Occasionally there is only one anesthesiologist on staff at night and Fraser Health says that’s not enough. That doctor may be busy with another patient and can’t get to a pregnant woman in labour who needs anesthesia. B.C. Anesthesiologist Society CEO Dr. Roland Orfaly said Morton’s plan doesn’t make sense as what’s really required are more anesthesiologists. A shortage of obstetric anesthesiologists has been a long and storied problem at SMH. In July, 2009, FHA advertised for 10 anesthesiologists for the region. For two months, the jobs were posted on Healthmatch BC, ads in daily and national newspapers, and personal letters were sent to every anesthesiologist in the country. Orfaly said the province has yet to hire one from that requested batch. Morton said five years later, FHA and the doctors are still trying to get a round-the-clock obstetric anesthesiologist into the hospital. How that will happen seems to be a matter of opinion. Morton said currently is there are young crops of anesthesiologists coming up through the ranks who are quite happy to do the job. “There is no doubt in my mind that we will be able to replace these individuals,” Morton said. “We have a lot of really keen people who are very interested in being part of this new model of care.” There were 4,300 babies born at SMH last year. The anesthesiologists are not staff, but are given privileges to work at SMH. Orfaly said firing the existing doctors will only make matters worse. “We actually have a provincial process where we’re trying to fix these issues for Surrey Memorial, and also every other hospital in the province,” Orfaly said, adding threats of firing 28 anesthesiologists is unproductive. “Please explain to me how that’s supposed to improve patient care,” Orfaly said. “If you had difficulty recruiting anesthesiologists seven years ago, imagine what that recruitment is going to look like now.”

Two men are facing 17 charges in fentanyl arrest ▶ SURREY’S SCOTT PIPPING, 35, ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A DRUG LAB KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey City Council is pleased to wish you and your family a bright and joyful Easter!

Two men, including one from Surrey, have been charged with possession of a dangerous narcotic – fentanyl – which

has been the cause of many overdoses in the region. Scott Pipping, 35, from Surrey and Adam Summers, 27, from Richmond, were arrested and charged on March 18 for alleged involvement in a fentanyl lab. Last year, there were 471 fentanyl-related deaths in Canada and there have been 132 in the country so far this year. Pipping and Summers are

▶ NO CONNECTIONS TO 2015 SHOOTINGS from page 1

On that day at about 9 p.m., police were called to 79 Avenue and 125 Street on a report of a car hitting a tree. Police said investigators found a man inside the vehicle suffering from injuries “inconsistent with a car crash.” Surrey is now outpacing a year of violence in 2015, when there were 47 shootings in the embattled Newton and Whalley area as two rival drug gangs initiated a turf war. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann said the public need not be concerned about their own safety, he said, but noted it pays to be vigilant. “In my experience, people who are not involved in a life of crime are not likely going to become victims of crime,” Schumann said. “That said, when you have criminals who are violent and

Police analysts are working to determine whether there is another outbreak of violence similar to last year. So far, police have made no connection between the shootings that have occurred so far this year and those that happened in 2015. “Not to say that the connections aren’t there,” Schumann said. “But we haven’t seen any yet.” Anyone with further information about the March 18 or 20 incidents is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, if they wish to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS or submit a tip at www.solvecrime.ca

The utility said that would mean an extra $4 a month extra for the average residential customer. BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald said staff applied to the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) to hike the rate for the next fiscal year because they need more time to update their forecasts in light of “recent events in the mining and LNG sectors.” BC Hydro had planned to make a three-year rate application using government-mandated rate caps of four per cent this year, 3.5 per cent next year and three per cent in the following year. McDonald said the next two years will still be within the government-directed caps, part of a 10year rate plan that will turn the setting of rates back to the BCUC by 2020. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett recently announced a deferral program for mines, allowing them to put off paying their electricity bills to keep operating with low prices for metals and coal. BC Hydro said it expects to continue to see an overall increase in demand for the next couple of decades.

BC Ferries fares won’t increase thanks to fuel rebate BC Ferries announced that fares will not increase this spring – for the first time in 13 years. Actually, fares for vehicles and passengers will go up by 1.9 per cent as planned. But the corporation will now bump up the fuel rebate by 1.9 per cent across the system, effectively cancelling out the fare hike. “Given the current price of fuel on world markets, we expect to maintain a fuel rebate for the foreseeable future,” said BC Fer-

ries Chief Financial Officer Dennis Dodo. The current oneper-cent fuel rebate is applied to fares for all vehicles and passengers. It will go up to 2.9 per cent on major and minor routes on April 1. A new rebate of 1.9 per cent will take effect on northern routes.

Movie tax breaks under scrutiny B.C.’s tax credits to the movie industry are rising rapidly as the low Canadian dollar attracts more productions to the province, and Finance Minister Mike de Jong has ordered a review.

“The sector is having a record-breaking year and that’s all good news for the people involved,” de Jong said. “But the way the tax credit is structured, we see the amount being paid out increasing exponentially. It’s set to cross the half billion-dollar mark.” The review is to take place within the next two months, including consultation with B.C. production companies. B.C. offers a refundable tax credit for one third of labour costs for movies, TV and digital media production. The current box-office hit Deadpool is the latest of 20th

Century Fox’s X-Men series to be filmed in B.C. An earlier movie in the series was lured to Montreal by generous tax incentives, and Ontario extended its tax credits to cover 25 per cent of all spending on a project. Most of B.C.’s industry is foreign productions, taking advantage of experienced crews, scenic locations and easy access from Hollywood. De Jong said in 2013 that Canadian provinces are “being played” by producers looking to increase tax breaks by threatening to go elsewhere.

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday M arch 23 2016

▼ PLAN WISELY FOR THE LRT TO AVOID LOSING FOREST

No consequences for cuts

I want to thank The Leader for dedicating about four pages of the March 16 edition to the subject of losing, saving and growing trees. This included a letter from a resident of Surrey about losing a dozen mature cedar trees in North Surrey. Thank you all. I would like to save trees in Green Timbers Urban Forest if the planned Light Rail Transit (LRT) along Fraser Highway is built. To widen the Fraser Highway to include two lanes of LRT, four lanes of cars and two lanes for bikes would mean the loss of several hundred valuable trees. Instead of LRT through Green Timbers Urban Forest, I propose a different route for LRT – first south along the west side of King George Boulevard and then East between 92 and 90 Avenues till it crosses 148 Street and then continues parallel to Fraser Highway. The proposal to run LRT along 104 Avenue, King George Boulevard and Fraser Highway is not practical anyways, because it will cause about three years of construction road closures, making car traffic nearly impossible for that period. Please plan wisely first to avoid losing more forest.

▼ TWO-FOR-0NE REPLACEMENT RATIO RARELY FULFILLED BY DEVELOPERS Re: “Tree loss in Surrey climbs,” The Leader, March 16. How can city council not know what is happening? Oh wait, I know, because developers look at it this way: If they get caught, they’ll simply feign ignorance, pay the mediocre fine and then feign ignorance again when it comes to planting two trees for every tree cut down, because they know the city rarely, if ever, follows up on the two-to-one tree replanting ratio. Aside from the fact the fines are rarely over the minimum $1,000, these developers simply don’t care and will take their chances as to whether or not they get reported for not having a permit.

J. W. (Bill) Potma Green Timbers Heritage Society

A letter writer argues the city doesn’t do enough to crack down on questionable tree-cutting practices. FILE PHOTO In my neighbourhood alone I have seen the removal of “significant” trees when new houses are being built and not one single property has complied with the two-to-one replanting ratio. In most cases it is because the

developers are paving both the front and back yards, leaving no greenspace for added trees. It’s deplorable this happens yet clearly the developers are all about money. Environmental sustainability just isn’t in

their vocabulary. Why doesn’t council make it so that if a piece of land is to be developed, permits for tree cutting take precedence before building permits? They send out inspectors to review the building once it is finished, so why not send out an arborist before the development begins and have them inspect the trees before any building permit is issued? This way the building permit only gets issued when the developer gets the permits to remove trees. When the final building inspection is done, the inspector should also verify how many trees were removed and how many were required to be replanted. If the developer doesn’t comply, the final inspection does not get completed. The developer then suffers additional fines until the final inspection is completed. G. Penny, Surrey

VIEWPOINT

Alternatives to urban drug ghettos BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

My recent columns on B.C.’s struggle with the growing westward migration of transients have produced responses that fall mainly into two groups. The largest is people relieved that somebody is questioning the urban media narrative. That’s the one where drifters, drug addicts, welfare shoppers and thieves are the victims and working people whose hard-earned communities are being degraded are the problem because of their selfish, uncaring attitudes. Then there are readers so marinated in our nanny-state education, media and political system they object to anything other than a big-government response. They tend to ask, what’s your solution, Tom? As someone who has lost one relative to heroin addiction and almost lost another, I reflect on the history of successful addiction treatment. That is one of detox and abstinence. That’s why I oppose the failed model of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where resources are poured into concentrated housing and “harm

reduction” that perpetuate addiction, handouts and helplessness. Housing Minister Rich Coleman is rolling this out in other communities in what I fear is an effort to paper over the problem for an election year. The Globe and Mail recently profiled a methamphetamine addict enrolled at Onsite, the belated treatment addition to Vancouver’s Insite supervised injection site. It was his fifth try, which may have something to do with the fact that when he walks outside he is in the middle of Canada’s biggest street drug bazaar. Contrast that with a facility called Baldy Hughes, a therapeutic community 30 kilometres outside Prince George. It’s a working farm, designed to provide a year-long program of abstinence-based therapy and meaningful work. It uses the traditional 12-step program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, with peer support and group therapy. There’s a greenhouse for winter farming, livestock to tend and the residents

have designed and built a new horse stable. There’s also a beekeeping project. Residents can complete their high school education, take first aid training and learn basic computer skills. What they can’t do is leave unescorted during their treatment program. They can’t bring drugs, alcohol, weapons or phones with them. It’s a costly program, with a small number of spaces available on referral from B.C.’s social development ministry. Others can finance it with the help of medical employment insurance. I mention this not to suggest it is a solution for every community, but to compare it with what the B.C. government is spending millions on. A news event was arranged to greet the first resident moving from Victoria’s squalid downtown tent camp to a refurbished nursing home. And who was the poster child for this project, hand-picked by the agency that runs the growing network of shelters in the area?

He described himself as a former Edmonton resident who was hitch-hiking around, going from shelter to shelter and ending up camped in the squat. He was impressed by the tidy room with three meals a day he was being given, in a “low barrier” facility where booze and drugs are brought in, no questions asked. What he was really looking forward to, in addition to accommodations, was an opportunity to kick back and play his favourite video game. That would be Grand Theft Auto, where your character runs around stealing cars, escaping police and meeting with criminal gangs. It’s popular with adolescents, which these days means anyone under 30. This is where your tax dollars are going. Waves of people come in, with key trouble spots being communities on the major highways coming into the Lower Mainland. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Toll reform can wait: Transportation minister â–ś ‘URGENT NEED’ TO RESOLVE ISSUE, SMOOTH TRAFFIC, DELTA MLA SAYS

JEFF NAGEL

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is being accused of dragging his feet on launching a long-promised review of how tolls are charged on Metro Vancouver bridges. Stone stuck to his position that a reform of the tolling policy – opening up a potential shift to road pricing or standardized tolls on all Metro bridges – would only be required if final decisions are made to replace and toll both the new Pattullo and Massey bridges. And even then, he said under questioning in the legislature, neither bridge would open for at least five to six years, leaving “plenty of time� to have a debate about what should happen. Premier Christy Clark echoed that, saying it’s not yet clear how much federal money might come for those bridge replacements, an essential part of the equation on any tolling decisions. “It’s difficult to think about what toll rates are going to be and then think about a balance across the region,� Clark said. She called mobility pricing a “controversial issue� that she isn’t yet in a position to take a

behind the premier’s decision to delay the toll reform debate. “Why tick off the rest of the region with road pricing or bridge tolls before they have to?� Bateman asked. “There

would be nothing she would love more than to have the NDP put road pricing into their election platform next year. I’m sure the Liberals would love to run against that.�

Officials are coy about debating whether all bridges in the region will be tolled when the Pattullo (above) is replaced. LEADER FILE side on. But Independent Delta MLA Vicki Huntington said the province’s wait-and-see attitude is unacceptable. “There’s an urgent need now to resolve this question,� Huntington said. “Everybody but the minister seems to understand this.� Residents south of the Fraser are paying $1,000 to $2,000 a year in tolls if they have to cross the tolled Port Mann Bridge, she said, adding that amount could be reduced if tolls are spread out across all crossings. Drivers who cross elsewhere would suddenly have to contribute, but Huntington said they may benefit as well, if, for example, consistent tolls relieve the congestion at free crossings like the Pattullo. “If you distribute the

tolling system equally on the different bridges then you’re not going to have all the trucks and all the congestion at the free bridge,� she said. “You open up the choice of routes so traffic is distributed more freely. “To wait five or six years to even start the discussion is ridiculous. The issue is in front of us and it has to be resolved as soon as possible.� Delta Mayor Lois Jackson last week repeated her support

for an equitable system of tolls on all bridges, suggesting $1 a bridge. Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. Director Jordan Bateman said he’s not sure Jackson’s numbers add up in terms of the revenue that would be required. If regional tolls have to cover the construction costs of the Port Mann and Golden Ears Bridges – which are not yet meeting their revenue targets – as well as two new bridges yet to be built and possibly $250 million a year for

Malcolm Brodie said Metro has serious concerns about the impact of a major new bridge on the regional growth strategy, as well as on air quality, transportation patterns and the environment. “I’m talking about increased traffic flow and the resulting increase in greenhouse gas emissions,” Brodie said. “What’s it going to do to the estuary in terms of the bridge itself and the increased traffic on the river of the large tankers bringing materials up and down the river?” He and others suspect the replacement of a bridge with a tunnel in large part aims to allow bigger ships into the lower Fraser River, although Port Metro Vancouver has cautioned that eliminating the tunnel alone would not enable that – dredging would be required and underwater sewer and water

lines pose other impediments to increased shipping. There is also the province’s attempt to characterize the new bridge as a green infrastructure project for the purpose of securing federal grants. Some mayors see the province’s Massey priority as potentially competing against their request for an unusually large federal contribution to new rapid transit lines. Brodie said he doesn’t understand how the bridge would improve the environment. He said he doesn’t want to see a re-run of the B.C.-led assessment of a planned jet fuel pipeline across Richmond that critics fear would put the Fraser estuary at risk of a tanker spill. “That was a harmonized process where the federal government basically left it up to

is already underway and Metro Vancouver representatives are part of the working group. Metro officials have asked for more time to give preliminary feedback to help shape the review. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said Brodie has “changed his tune” on the bridge project since providing a statement of support when it was first announced in 2012. “A lot of the Metro mayors seem to like to create this perception that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence with these environmental reviews,” Stone said, adding they sometimes call for a provincial review if they think it will be stronger than a federal one, or vice-versa. “The federal government is very much plugged into the process that’s underway now.” The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency has concluded the project is essentially a highway upgrade that doesn’t trigger a federal review, but Environment and Climate Change Minister Catherine McKenna could order one anyway. Stone also cited the planned cycling lanes and potential for future rapid transit on the new bridge. “This bridge is going to be great for commuters and very important for goods movement as well,” Stone said. “We’re moving forward with it because it addresses the single most important congestion point in British Columbia.” The new bridge is to be funded with tolls, but the government has yet to explain how or if the bridge tolls in the region would be revamped by the time it opens in 2022.

B.C. to take profit out of real estate shadow flipping ▶ PREDATORY PRACTICE SAW SOME REALTORS PROFIT AS INTERMEDIARIES

Clark noted there are legitimate reasons for assignments – such as transferring a condo pre-sale contract to a different buyer when the original one can no longer close – but said

they should happen only for the right reasons under the promised rules. She also said not all anti-speculation and housing supply measures coming will necessarily be enforced

B.C.-wide – some of them will let individual municipalities opt in or out. Clark’s announcement came a day after the NDP introduced a bill in the legis-

lature to deter real estate speculation and accused the government of failing to close loopholes. The Opposition proposal would create a new two-per-cent

speculation tax on the value of homes when the owners don’t pay income tax, with the proceeds going to a housing affordability fund. NDP leader John

Horgan said that because investor owners who rent out their units would be exempt, that would encourage more rentals and increase the affordable housing supply.

JEFF NAGEL

The B.C. government is vowing to thwart predatory “shadow flipping” where some realtors profit tax-free from rapidly rising real estate prices by inserting themselves or others as intermediaries between an initial seller and final buyer. The problem of contract assignment flipping surfaced earlier this year, fuelling public outrage and prompting the province to order the Real Estate Council of B.C. to strike an advisory group to investigate licensee conduct and potential conflicts of interest. Premier Christy Clark said new rules will prevent the abuse of assignment clauses by returning any profits of middlemen to the original home seller, whose informed consent would be required for any use of contract assignments. “The shady practice that we’ve seen around shadow flipping in Vancouver we all know has been driven by greed – pure, naked greed,” Clark told reporters Friday. “The way to end that shady practice for greedy people is take the profit out of it.” In some cases, sellers have been unaware that their home had not been sold to the initial buyer, but had instead been flipped a number of times before a final offshore buyer paid a much higher price. It’s unclear how widespread shadow flipping has been. But the province has also lost revenue from it because it only charges property transfer tax when title actually changes hands to the final buyer, not on the profits extracted by intermediaries using assigned contracts. Realtors also make extra commissions when a home is shadow flipped. The resulting price inflation has been blamed for further overheating the real estate market in Vancouver and some suburbs. More recommendations are expected from the Real Estate Council group, which includes the province’s Superintendent of Real Estate.

ARTS & LIFE

Forging community connections ▶ IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING BASIC NECESSITIES, NEWCOMERS IN NEED FIND FRIENDSHIP AND LEARN VALUABLE SKILLS AT THE MUSLIM FOOD BANK BOAZ JOSEPH

Mainu Ahmed works his way though dozens of people on a busy weekend morning at the Muslim Food Bank (MFB). “It’s a gong show,” he admits, showing a visitor the different activities and sections of the bustling North Surrey warehouse. It’s like this every second Saturday, with upwards of 120 families going through the process of registering and picking up hampers – a similar process seen at many other food banks. But this one is different. Ahmed estimates that approximately 80 per cent of the clients are refugees, just the latest trend at a food bank that has catered to the Lower Mainland’s Muslim community since 2010. Syrian refugees are not just present in the news, they’re already out helping in the community. One volunteer at the food bank, Osama Alkhamis, arrived in Canada just three weeks ago. He still lives in transitional housing at a hotel. Speaking almost no English, Alkhamis gets by, conversing with the food bank’s other Arabic speakers. Volunteer Alishia Rajabali says she’s seen improvised – and usually successful – sign language in her year of volunteering at the MFB. Apart from the relatively common English and Arabic language skills among clients, there are those who speak Farsi, Urdu, Hindi and Swahili – and different dialects of those languages. “We’re all from different backgrounds,” she says. The certified general accountant and recruiter for an accounting firm says she began volunteering at the MFB after hearing about it from a woman she was interviewing for a job. That woman got the job, while Rajabali found a place to volunteer every second week. Like any food bank, the MFB relies on donations of food and cash from businesses and individuals. It has also fostered relationships over the

Volunteers at the Muslim Food Bank. From left: Moona Ali, Yasmin Atick, Osama Alkhamis, Alishia Rajabali and Aladdin Tayeh. Alkhamis, who doesn’t speak English, immigrated from Syria just three weeks before this picture was taken. BOAZ JOSEPH years with organizations such as the Surrey Food Bank, which has always had Muslim clients, but wasn’t able cater to their halal (foods that are permissible for Muslims to eat or drink under Islamic law) dietary needs. “The halal stuff, we give to them, and the non-halal stuff, they give to us,” says Surrey Food Bank Director of External Relations Feezah Jaffer, who adds they often donate large batches of items such as flour or cooking oil to the MFB. Food is just one part of the society – formally the MFB and Community Services Society. It’s a massive organization with hundreds of volunteers, many of them case workers who provide clients with services – including all Muslim refugees – with support the minute they arrive in Canada. The MFB steps in to support its partner, Immigrant Services Society of B.C. The day they arrive, Syrian refugees are provided with housing (temporary, then permanent) and given hampers that

include familiar foods – such as chick peas, yogurt and pita. Included are toiletries for an entire family. Before long, they are provided with translators, baby packs (including cribs and bassinets), school supplies and counselling. The latter is often extensive. Ahmed, a co-founder of the organization, says many of the refugees have been through traumatic experiences and are given extra support. Within weeks, they receive more hampers, are accompanied on their first shopping trips and rides on public transit, are taught Canadian cultural norms in workshops, are given medical and dental support, and receive referrals to available services, schools, jobs and conversational English language classes (some provided at mosques). One term that pops up in conversation with Ahmed is “case workers.” Not only are there currently 106 of these volunteers out in the community, there are several in cubicles set up at the MFB warehouse every second Saturday during hamper pick-up day. The case workers, part of the MFB’s wide-ranging Aspire program, provide oneon-one counselling – everything from giving

out information about housing, to connecting families with similar backgrounds who reside in the same community. “All you need is a passion that you want to help people,” Ahmed says of the case workers. Ahmed says the role of the MFB is to prepare clients to not need the food bank. “Food bank operation are really a very small part of what we do. Our main aim is recovery of the individual.” The food bank also provides choices of donated clothes – “clothing with dignity,” says Ahmed. It’s displayed on clothes hangers, not in bags. “My instruction to the team is that if you won’t wear it, nobody else will wear it. It’s as simple as that.” Ahmed says even before the Syrian crisis, a majority of the MFB’s clients were already refugees. He says they all deserve respect and wants to dispel the myth that they are uneducated or unskilled. One recent client was an intern at Middle Eastern hospital. “It’s such a big spectrum of people.” The Muslim Food Bank, located at #10113085 115 Ave., is open every second Saturday, and client families can register to receive a hamper once a month.

Delta’s great blue herons ▶ IN MARCH, THEIR BILLS TURN BRIGHT YELLOWORANGE, INDICATING THEIR BREEDING READINESS ANNE MURRAY

As the days lengthen and get warmer, marine fish move into shallow water. Their arrival is important for great blue herons which gather at the tideline. Nowhere is this more evident than on Roberts Bank, where hundreds of herons congregate through spring and early summer, feeding in the interBY THE tidal area and BAY nesting ▼ on the adjacent Anne wooded Murray bluff on Tsawwassen First Nation land. Extraordinary as it may seem, these longlegged, long-necked birds build flimsy stick nests high up in alder, maple or Douglas-fir trees. The Tsawwassen colony has more than 300 heron pairs, with often three or more nests in a tree, and is the largest heronry on the Canadian west coast. In winter, the herons disperse into farmland and marshes around the Fraser delta, where they catch voles and other

small mammals. However, once starry flounder and shiner perch begin to arrive, the herons move to a diet of fish; later in the summer, they will also eat frogs and snakes. Endemic to the Pacific Northwest, the local subspecies of great blue heron has grey, black, and white feathers and plumes. In March, their bills turn bright yellow-orange, indicating their breeding readiness. Pair bonds are formed and the noisy business of nest building begins.

Prior to 1955, the herons nested in woodland near Tsawwassen’s current town centre, but forest clearance forced them to repeatedly move. By 1973, the colony had settled in Point Roberts, WA, close to the Canadian border, where it remained for 20 years, growing to nearly 500 pairs. Tree clearance adjacent to the heronry and increasing predation by juvenile bald eagles, the population of which was increasing, caused nesting failure in 2003.

Nests and eggs were suddenly abandoned, and no young were raised. The following spring, some of the herons moved a few kilometres north to their current location, and within a couple of years they were all settled in. Rather curiously, they settled in trees around one that was already occupied by a mature pair of bald eagles. continued on page 16

PERRY Douglas Lawrence January 05, 1951 - March 08, 2016 Surrey, B.C. We are saddened to share with the world the passing of Douglas Lawrence Perry. Born in 1951 in Vancouver, BC, the son of Lawrence “Red” Perry and Carrie Eileen McConnell, Doug passed away unexpectedly on March 8, 2016 after a lifetime battle with chronic pain from injuries he sustained in his youth. Doug will be deeply missed by his loving wife Megan Burnett and her three sons; Rob, Andrew and David Draeseke. He is survived by his daughter Sean Perry and her two sons; Quoran and Evano Hirabe. A natural leader and compassionate teacher, Doug devoted his life to supporting co-operative housing communities across Canada. Doug served as an exemplary role model, mentor, and passionate advocate for the preservation of affordable housing programs through his work as owner of Cana Management Associates Ltd. for over 30 years. Knowledgeable beyond reason and an expert conversationalist, he consistently shared his wise counsel, unfailing support, and razor sharp wit with everyone he knew. Doug touched many lives and will be lovingly remembered by all who knew him. Doug embraced Buddhism regularly and practiced meditation at Sitavana, Birken Forest Monastery. We believe Doug is on the path to his next life. Watch for him. You will know him and he will know you. A private family service will be held on March 18, followed by a celebration of Doug’s life in June. Details of the celebration will be posted at canateam.com. Donations in lieu of flowers are welcomed by the Disability Trust and the Domestic Violence Relief Fund (chf.bc.ca). Dana is always welcomed by the Birken Forest Monastery (birken.ca).
