A Burnaby RCMP officer makes it his mission to find out the truth behind one man’s tales of wartime bravery

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

s Canadians across the country get ready to remember those who lost their lives fighting for our freedom, one Burnaby Mountie is resting easier knowing he stopped a man from fraudulently portraying himself as a war hero. Cpl. Gregor Aitken has been with the RCMP since the late ‘90s but before he donned his Red Serge, he was an officer in the armed forces and served from 1993 to 1997. His service record is something he takes pride in, a pride he displays when wearing his service medals. He is active with the Royal Canadian Legion and often attends veterans’ events. So when Aitken met a veteran with 14 service medals, he was awed – and suspicious. “I’d seen this fellow around and I’d always thought that was a pretty impressive amount of medals,” he told the NOW. This year, he was at a Legion’s veteran luncheon and to his surprise he was seated next to the mysterious war hero. As the event went on and the former soldiers, which included a Second World War veteran and a Korean War veteran, at the table shared their stories, Aitken took the opportunity to ask the mystery vet about his service history. “I’d always been slightly suspicious of this fellow just because it was such an unbelievable number of medals,” he said. “I started talking to him and he started telling me these pretty incredible stories.” Among the medals the veteran was

When Aitken asked how he earned the medal, the veteran told him he received it for his service in the battle of Medak Pocket in Croatia.

Opponents of the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion are organizing a series of events on Burnaby Mountain this weekend. The Burnaby Mountain Community Fest runs from Friday, Nov. 7 at 11 a.m. till Sunday at 3 p.m. The festival will be on Centennial Way and includes games, yoga, nature walks, music and a community quilt project. On Saturday, Nov. 8, there is a family-friendly event with musicians from 1 to 3 p.m. on Burnaby Mountain, just off Centennial Way, where protesters have maintained a presence in opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline. We Love This Coast, a group concerned about the tar sands, pipelines and tankers, is organizing the Saturday performance, which includes folk-rock musician Holly Arntzen, Aaron Ross and Tom Van Deurson of The Boom Booms, DOA frontman Joe Keithley, the Solidarity Choir and Ta’Kaiya Blaney, a young singer from the Sliammon First Nation. Organizers noted the area is unceded Coast Salish territory, and the traditional First Nations name for Burnaby Mountain is Lheklhukxayten, which means the place to peel arbutus trees.

Focus on education: (clockwise from top left) BCA incumbent Harman Pandher, Burnaby Teachers Association president Rae Figursky and BFC candidate Maria Parente take part in a Burnaby DPACorganized trustee all-candidates meeting at Stoney Creek Elementary Wednesday.

Is the Burnaby school district doing a good job reaching out to parents? Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Parent engagement was a recurring theme at a trustee-candidate forum hosted by the district parent advisory council (DPAC) Wednesday. About 50 audience members showed up at Stoney Creek Elementary to watch 11 candidates field questions submitted by parents to DPAC ahead of the meeting. Burnaby First Coalition candidate Ben Seebaran led off the debate on parent engagement, saying it is the board’s responsibility to find out the community’s priorities before making decisions. “That is not done to a satisfactory level,” he said, citing the board’s recent rejection of corporate funding from Chevron without community consultation. He also pointed back to the

2011 anti-homophobia policy, which he said was passed without adequate parent input. BCA incumbent Ron Burton shot back while fielding an unrelated question, saying the board had extended the period of consultation in 2011 for Policy 5.45, and added that his opponents didn’t “seem to have any compunction about telling the truth.” Fellow BCA incumbent Larry Hayes maintained the current board does a “very good job” engaging parents. “We do a lot of work in collaborating with our parents to ensure that they are involved, social media, I rely mainly on email and personal phone calls and visits

to communicate with our parent group,” he said. Later in the meeting, BFC candidate Janice Beecroft called Hayes out on the claim. “No disrespect to Mr. Hayes, but Mr. Hayes has never been seen at one of my PACs in 15 years,” she said. If elected, Beecroft said she would engage parents by visiting PACs and schools and talking to parents. “I’m hear to tell you that that’s not happening,” she said. As an example, she cited a costly hot-lunch program the district put in place at her child’s school without any consultation with parents. BCA incumbent Harman Pandher said he had been dis-

mayed by Beecroft’s opposition to the program. “If she doesn’t want that program in her neighbourhood school, what can we expect for our students in the rest of Burnaby,” he said. Pandher stressed social media as a way to engage parents. “If we put ourselves out there, we hear the concerns of the community,” he said. BFC candidate Heather Leung stressed the role of parents as the primary decision makers in the education of their children and the need to empower them. “When I’m elected, I will open my availability to the parents,’ she said. The theme of parent engagement resonated with parents in the audience. Eric Mulholland, a former 10year DPAC member, said the Parents Page 4

Residents oppose upgrades to natural gas pipeline Tereza Verenca

staff reporter

City council chambers were near capacity Monday night, as residents of Brentwood Park came out to voice opposition to proposed upgrades to the Fortis B.C. natural gas pipeline running through their neighbourhood. Sean Rodrigues and Frank Ong spoke on the group’s behalf and presented council with a petition against the routing of the line, arguing it should be built through an industrial area like Lougheed Highway, not through a residential one. “We’re talking about stewardship here. If we say our children are our future, then why would we have this pipe 70 feet from our children’s pillows?” Ong told the

NOW. The 20-kilometre renovation project, however, is needed, according to Fortis B.C. spokesperson Trevor Boudreau. “Studies have shown it’s nearing the end of its life. Right now, it runs two streets south (of Brentwood) under an alleyway,” he said. “The new alignment will go north a couple of streets and it will be in the road, not under any houses.” But for Rodrigues, the size and pressure of the pipe is worrisome. “It’s 30 inches in diameter. That’s bigger than a Hula Hoop. It has almost double the volume and twice the pressure of the existing gas line that goes through our neighbourhood,” he said. Boudreau told the NOW safety is still Fortis B.C.’s number 1 priority. “We have

never had a safety issue in our natural gas system, and we don’t want to. It’s about building a better pipeline that’s constructed to today’s safety standards.” Boudreau added Fortis considered six other routes, but it was this one that ensured the least impact on surrounding communities, was mindful of the environment and made economic sense for customers. Another area of concern for Rodrigues has been the consultation process. In an information package prepared for council, a letter reads “Fortis B.C. has not been forthright and transparent with the residents of Highlawn Drive … appeared to be a weak 11th-hour attempt by Fortis B.C. to ‘tick a box’ in order to satisfy their regulator.” Rodrigues alluded to the fact Fortis

sent out generalized envelopes addressed “To Occupant,” letting the neighbourhood know of their intention to work on the pipeline. “Like most, I threw it out because I didn’t know what it was,” he said. But Boudreau said this isn’t a case of ticking off boxes. He said Fortis started off with face-to-face meetings with business owners and municipalities, then held four public info sessions earlier this year. “The conversation has to be ongoing. It’s not going to stop when we apply to our regulators,” he said. “This is just the beginning.” Mayor Derek Corrigan and council agreed to arrange a meeting with Fortis and have them make their case for the route.

Meeting: ‘It’s about how you are going to represent us as an individual’ continued from page 3

current board has done well on the issue compared to other boards around the province. “I got to know the board and how it works here,” he said, “and I do agree that the school board in Burnaby has a pretty good relationship with parents and a pretty good relationship with DPAC.” Other parents in the small crowd disagreed. Inman Elementary DPAC rep Heidi Cogan said she voted for a party slate last municipal election but won’t this time around. “Since the last election, I now

have kids in the school district,” she said, “and being at DPAC meetings, I now see who is at the meetings and what they’re saying or if they’re just playing with their iPhones.” The incumbents’ claims that parent engagement is just fine in the district, didn’t ring true for Alpha Secondary PAC member Elizabeth Cheung either. “I was involved in my son’s elementary school PAC; I didn’t see any of them,” she said. “I’m involved on the PAC at the high school; I didn’t see any of them, so I don’t know who they’re talking

to when they say, ‘Oh, when we talked to parents.’ How are they talking to parents? I don’t know.” Cheung said she wouldn’t be voting for a slate either. “I don’t like a one-party system,” she said. “I don’t believe it’s very good for the democratic system. That’s why I came out because I wanted to hear. I want to make an informed choice. Who are these people? I don’t want to just blindly give them my vote.” Moscrop Secondary parent Joy Jin also enjoy the open debate at the meeting. “Education is so important,”

she said. “We need to be open to hear different kind of voices and also have some creative kind of innovation, ideas on that.” Gwilyn Timmers, a kindergarten parent new to Burnaby politics, called the scene “very colourful” compared to other places she’s voted. “I have no experience with these parties or anything,” she said, “so I came trying to understand what is BCA, what is Burnaby First. I do feel like I have a bit of a better understanding.” She said her own attempts to get in touch with candidates using

their generic party email address had been unsuccessful. She had emailed them to ask which side of the recent teacher labour dispute they had been on. “Nobody wrote back except (independent) Elias (Ishak),” she said, “and frankly, I’m going to vote for Elias.” DPAC Jen Mezei, said parent organizers intentionally attempted to de-emphasize party politics. “It’s not about slates,” she said. “It’s about individuals, and it’s about how are you going to represent us as an individual on the board of trustees.”

OUR VIEW

just the usual stuff that we’re asked to remember on Remembrance Day. Try to remember that, though there are no more veterans from the First World War to add solemnity to the occasion, there are still plenty left over from the Second World War. And the Korean War. And from Vietnam (yes, many Canadians did fight in that “police action”). And from Bosnia. And from Afghanistan. And from all of the many peacekeeping functions attended by Canadians in between. Never fret – it seems that as veterans

age and threaten to dwindle in numbers, the world has a way of providing us with more. And try to remember also that our veterans don’t just pop up this time of year like mushrooms after a big rain. They’re with us all year round – try to remember that. While you’re remembering those things, remember that when you buy a poppy, you’re supporting an organization, the Legion, that does support our veterans all year round. That’s real respect.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hospital parking fees are wrong Dear Editor:

There is something fundamentally wrong with parking fees for emergency room patients. A while ago I took my wife to Burnaby Hospital emergency suffering a possible life-threatening episode. After paying $17 for parking, I emerged to find that there was a parking ticket issued five minutes after my time expired. The fee for non-prompt payment is $80. So I could have called the ambulance for exactly the same fee. Of course, that is not an option because of the new priority call system, but I digress. As we age and depend more often on health services, I find that I have less and less tolerance for the questionable policies behind faceless bureaucracy.

Could we look at some more reasonable solutions. I would be willing to pay an annual fee for a permit. If I never needed it, that would be a worthwhile bonus for me and a contribution to Health Services. It just seems morally wrong to contribute to a parking enforcement agency at a time of family health crisis. On the other hand, a city which holds hundreds of millions in reserve while increasing taxes annually, might consider offsetting such costs. Or they could follow the example of Delta and ban such practice completely. I wrote this piece several months ago and hesitated to send it. Three weeks ago, while I attended a medically

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Parking needs a rethink continued from page 6

required education session at Burnaby Hospital, I received a $64 ticket because I refused to contribute to the independent operator and chose to park at a city meter. My fault this time, as I did not take the time to properly inform myself from the sign that said residents only before 9 a.m., and I was 17 minutes early. In any event, I followed the instructions and deposited the payment in the Burnaby City Hall after-hours drop box on the due date. This happened to be a weekend when, sensibly, city hall is not open. The cheque was cashed. I then received a letter from the city demanding an additional $16 for late payment. They were not working on the due date, and therefore I am liable for being late. Ironic that I got the ticket for being 17 minutes early. Coincidence I would guess that the City of Burnaby total owing matches exactly the parking contractor amount of $80.00. I await the credit collection letter that may affect my credit rating, as pointed out by the city. Ray Power, Burnaby

Yes, pipeline is an issue Dear Editor:

Burnaby voters should be concerned about the views of Daren Hancott on the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. The question put by the NOW to mayoral candidates was “what conditions would need to be met to make it appropriate for the city.” His “I don’t know” answer was a bit of a stunner. The restraint of Burnaby First Coalition politics – some on his slate are pro-pipeline, some are not – is no defence. Indeed, faced with a fractured team

you’d expect him to at least offer a middleof-the-road position. The fact that he could not strongly suggest he doesn’t really understand what has been going on in Burnaby over the last few years. Unable to answer the NOW question, he did what some politicians do when caught up short. He attacked his opponent. And it was a poor effort at that. What’s worse, by trying to label the pipeline as a phony issue created by Derek Corrigan, he effectively invalidated the concerns of many voters in the community: the possibility of land and water oil spills, a massive increase in tanker traffic, the lack of a “world-class” spill containment capability, the doubling of the oil storage facility, the toxic nature of bitumen, to name but a few. And, yes, it’s quite possible that, of the “several thousand residents” Mr. Hancott says he spoke to on the doorstep, only six raised the issue of Kinder Morgan. But, of course, all that tells us is that he didn’t raise it himself. The pipeline expansion project is an election issue. Of this there is no doubt. There is too much evidence and history and struggle that cannot be ignored or disputed, much less denied. If on the off chance Mr. Hancott thinks it is an issue limited to a small corner of Burnaby, he would do well to review an Insight West poll conducted in late September. Commissioned by the City of Burnaby, that scientifically based poll found 68 per cent of Burnaby residents were against the pipeline expansion, an increase of seven per cent over a similar poll conducted in June. Significantly, the poll found that the more people became aware of concerns around the pipeline, the less they liked it.

garbage,” Aitken said. Another indicator was the Canadian Forces Decoration medal the veteran was wearing. The medal is given to members of the Canadian Armed Forces for longstanding service. It’s given after 12 years of service and then a gold bar is given for every 10 years after that – the veteran had two gold bars, amounting to 32 years of service. He also had another medal for 22 years of service with a police force. “That’s like 52 years in the service, so unless he joined the army when he was eight as a drummer boy, then the math isn’t adding up,” Aitken said. The evidence quickly began supporting Aitken’s suspicions, that this veteran was portraying

himself as a war hero when that was not, in fact, the case. For about a month, Aitken conducted his own investigation into the veteran’s background. He searched him using Canada’s Access to Information and Privacy Act, he contacted Department of National Defence and the Royal Canadian Dragoons, and put in a request for the veteran’s service record through Archives Canada. “(Archives) said he was a reservist in the late ‘60s and he’d gone and done a tour in Egypt. One tour and then that was it and he was released from the military,” Aitken said. The final piece of the puzzle was a medal the veteran was wearing that was given to British soldiers who fought in the first

entitled to). But before charging him, Aitken arranged a restorative justice meeting with the veteran, the Legion, the United Nations Peacekeeping Association, a veterans assistance group and himself. Aitken gave him a choice between a court case or a restorative justice session. The veteran chose the restorative justice route, which requires the individual to admit wrongdoing and apologize to the wronged parties, and after trying to convince the group the whole thing was a clerical error and that he had in fact earned all the medals he was wearing, he finally admitted this wasn’t so. Aitken said the veteran told the group he was wearing the medals “because he wanted to

Gulf War. “When I asked him about that at the dinner he said, ‘Oh, I was attached as a Canadian soldier to the British army when they went into Iraq,’” he said. Aitken contacted the British military to confirm the veteran’s story, but once again it didn’t check out. “I guess this was really a case of the guy running into the wrong person because not only was I a former military policeman, not only am I a current policeman, but one of my best friends is an officer in a British tank regiment,” he said. Once Aitken had enough evidence, he drafted up a report recommending charges against the veteran (it’s a criminal offence to wear medals that one is not

draw attention to all the bravery of all the Canadians out there.” With the matter closed, the medals were sent to Ottawa to be destroyed and even though Aitken got what he wanted, he said the experience left him feeling rewarded and disappointed at the same time. “This is pretty much the penultimate act of disrespect,” he said. “You can see the disappointment in (the veterans’) faces and the anger, so that kind of hurt, but at the same time it’s rewarding knowing this guy is not out there pretending to be something that he’s not and flaunting awards he hasn’t earned.” See an extended version of this story online at www.burnabynow. com.

concerned students, professors, SFU community organizations, indigenous nations, environmental groups and concerned Burnaby residents. “We are coming together for a peaceful rally to share information, raise awareness and to help galvanize the SFU community to understand what’s going on and what’s at stake here,” she said. “I think there’s a growing alliance slowly happening in opposition to this pipeline.” twitter.com/JenniferMoreau

Large turnout expected for Remembrance Day Cayley Dobie staff reporter

RecenteventsinMontreal and Ottawa aren’t putting a damper on Remembrance Day ceremonies in Burnaby next week. Concerns for the safety of veterans and military personnel have been top of mind across the country since the tragic shooting death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Oct. 22, but Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj John Buis wouldn’t comment on whether there would be any extra security measures during the city’s ceremonies next week. “We are aware of all the recent incidents. However, we don’t discuss security,” he told the NOW, “for obvious reasons.” In spite of these concerns, Buis believes the recent events in Ontario and Quebec will lead to a larger turnout at Remembrance Day ceremonies. “What I’m seeing now, with the added interest, there will be quite a few people, both veterans, serving members of the armed forces, as well as members of the RCMP there,” he added. About 1,200 Burnaby res-

idents enlisted in the First World War and about 1,800 in the Second World War, according to the Burnaby’s Honour Roll program. Buis is among a dozen or so Burnaby RCMP officers who have served in United Nations peacekeeping missions overseas. Other officers have travelled to war zones as volunteers with the RCMP’s police mentoring program and some served in the armed forces before becoming a Mountie. The City of Burnaby and the Royal Canadian Legion branches #148 and #83 are hosting two Remembrance Day ceremonies, one in South Burnaby at Bonsor Park and a second in North Burnaby at Confederation

Park. Both ceremonies start at 11 a.m. and are preceded by parades from the Safeway parking lot (North Burnaby on Hastings Street near Willingdon Avenue) and Royal Canadian Legion branch #83 (South Burnaby). As long as the weather holds out, Buis hopes this will be one of the largest turnouts for Remembrance Day in recent memory. “We’ve seen a huge increase in the number of people wearing poppies,” he added. “I think all Canadians are concerned and they’re going to show their support for the armed forces by coming out to Remembrance Day services.”

Never forget: Attendees pay their respects at a past Remembrance Day service in North Burnaby. Two ceremonies are being held in Burnaby on Nov. 11. File photo/ burnaby now

Extra park protection on the ballot Tereza Verenca

staff reporter

Names of candidates running for city council won’t be the only thing you’ll see on this year’s ballot. Burnaby residents will be asked to answer community opinion questions on the dedication of five park areas. If granted dedication, the land could not be used for purposes other than a park. “We’ve done this every year since 1990. It’s a powerful protection mechanism that gets the electorate involved,” said Dave Ellenwood, director of parks, recreation and cultural services. The areas the city would like to preserve include Bonsor Park, Cottonwood Park, Stride Avenue Ravine Park, Lou Moro Park and Willingdon Heights Park. “You’ll notice it’s spread around, that they’re in all four quadrants,” he said, “We really try to represent all of Burnaby.” Ellenwood told the NOW this year’s dedication list is significantly smaller than its 2011 counterpart, which had more than 10 questions. “We limit the number on there because if people see a list of 30, it’s overwhelming and you have a giant ballot which is not practical to anybody.” The process of protecting these areas, which are usually lands acquired by the city, could be handed over to council. Ellenwood, however, argued giving the voting power to the public is much more effective. “Future city councils could erode these lands. It rarely happens, but it does. It’s more powerful to seek a majority of people on the ballot at election time because the only way you can reverse that decision is putting it back on the ballot,” he said. Ellenwood admitted he’s very confident each park will get the stamp of approval given the fact it’s widely used green space. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a percentage lower than 90,” he added. Ellenwood encourages residents not to feel intimidated by the questionnaire. A simple tick beside the yes or no box is all that’s needed. For more information, visit burnaby.ca.

Larry Wright/burnaby now

Your decision: Burnaby residents will once again have a say on park protection come Nov. 15. The city is including five opinion questions on the civic election ballot asking whether or not dedication should be granted to a number of parks throughout the city.

Feathers ruffled at all-candidates’ meeting Tereza Verenca

staff reporter

More than one hundred people crammed inside a tiny classroom at Gilmore Community School on Tuesday for Burnaby’s first all-candidates meeting. The question-and-answer session, hosted by the Heights Neighbourhood Association, attracted incumbent mayor Derek Corrigan and opponents Daren Hancott, Helen Chang and Sylvia Gung. Questions covered an array of topics, including Kinder Morgan, education and taxation. Burnaby First Coalition (BFC) supporter Gordon Shank asked the panel if they had received campaign funding from trade unions, and if so, would it influence their decision-making process. “I know as a business person, if a huge customer, that gives me a lot of money, if he asks me to stay out at the bar until

midnight, I’d probably do it,” Shank told the NOW. “If it was up to me, I would get rid of campaign sponsorship because it’s not a level playing field.” BFC answered no, while the Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) answered yes, insisting the money does not affect how they go about doing business. BCA Coun. Nick Volkow was also handed the microphone and asked BFC’s Matthew Hartney about his intentions to carry out services with a zero percent tax increase. Hartney responded by saying the BFC would stay true to the numbers by creating an effective budget. “For the city of Burnaby, the issue is poor budgeting. Every year, they’re over inflating their expenditures and undervaluing their revenue,” he said.

Another resident asked the candidates about an emergency response plan should an oil spill happen around the Kinder Morgan pipeline route. Coun. Anne Kang admitted the city does not have enough resources to respond to such a disaster but added that council will continue to fight the company’s plans to increase the number of tankers in North Burnaby. Meanwhile, independent school board trustee candidate Elias Ishak was vocal about Kinder Morgan, arguing “this anti-oil sentiment is a religion almost. Do we expect everyone to start riding bikes to work? No oil? Do you want to go back to the Stone Age?” The debate got heated when a member of the audience made the claim that performance within the public school system

is suffering. BCA members countered the statement by saying the system is one that’s envied outside city limits. “We have to make do with funding that we feel is inadequate and have to do a balance of where we send that money, but we have over the years, come up with new programs that attracts students,” said school board trustee candidate Larry Hayes. BFC’s Ben Seebaran fired back with statistics related to declining provincial exam results, the graduation rate and enrolment. Another question asked of the panel was “What is your policy on a biking community?” Mayor Corrigan explained how the city has bought land on Willingdon Avenue and how plans to build a path for pedestrians and cyclists between Brentwood and the Heights are in the works.

Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Burnaby residents looking to honour those who served in the Canadian Armed Forces have a few optionscomeRemembrance Day next week. The City of Burnaby and

Royal Canadian Legion branches No. 148 and No. 83 are hosting two ceremonies on Nov. 11 – one at Confederation Park and the other at Bonsor Park. Both events include a parade, featuring veterans, Mounties and local dignitaries, to the cenotaphs

where the Remembrance ceremonies will take place at 11 a.m. The North Burnaby procession leaves the Safeway parking lot at 4440 Hastings St. at 10:30 a.m. It will make its way to the cenotaph in Confederation Park at Willingdon Avenue

and Penzance Drive, for the official ceremony at 11 a.m. Mayor Derek Corrigan and Burnaby RCMP Chief Supt. Dave Critchley and Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis are expected to attend the North Burnaby event. For residents living

In Flanders Fields John McCrae, May 1915

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

We stand with all Canadians to remember and honour the men and women who have served our country and paid the ultimate price. This Remembrance Day marks a hundred years since the beginning of World War One. We recall the sacriﬁces of all who have served in the past and pay tribute to them on this day.

Choir: Concerts to honour the day continued from page 17

The same night also features a Remembrance Day concert by Chor Leoni men’s choir at Queens Avenue United Church. The 7:30 p.m. performance, A Great Service, includes the wartime poems and stories of Robert Service, alongside a variety of similarly themed music. “This year’s music ranges from Gustav Holst’s stirring setting of Walt Whitman’s texts to the tranquility of Paul Mealor’s recent work for male choir and clarinet, I

Saw Eternity,” said artistic director Erick Lichte in a press release. “Following Chor Leoni tradition, we’ll end with The Last Post and Rupert Lang’s beloved Kontakion, with the audience joining in on the refrain.” The choir will be joined by guest organist Ellen Ay-Laung Wang and reader Christopher Gaze. The concert is $30 for adults and seniors, or $10 for students with ID. Check out www.chorleoni.org for details and ticket information.

Your journey starts here.

SUV versatility with the sleek look of a coupe roofline, accented by sharp creases. This gives the X4 its own distinctive character. Also, while the X4 uses the X3’s architecture, it is longer and lower. No one can deny the fact that the X4 stands out in the crowd. The cabin of the X4 is remarkably similar to the X3, which means it has a stylish, somewhat conservative design – it would have been nice if this new car received an all-new interior.

David Chao

contributing writer

he BMW X4 is an all-new vehicle for 2015. Part of a unique group, it has only a few direct rivals. The main competitors of this group includes the eccentric Range Rover Evoque and the brand new Porsche Macan. The X4’s biggest competitor may just be BMW’s own X3, on which X4 is based – simply because the X3 offers more space at lower pricing while still looking sporty enough.

Performance

BMW has made its name by building driver’s cars. Its SUVs, while sportier than many of its rivals, are understandably never as spirited as their cars. But the 2015 X4, still using X3 underpinnings, drives much more like a BMW car. It has the best electric power steering unit BMW has made yet. The lower ride height

Design

The new X4 is derived from the X3 but it sacrifices some practicality in the interest of style. BMW calls the X4 a “sports activity coupe,” and it attempts to bridge a coupe and compact SUV. The most obvious difference between the X4 and the X3 is its sloping

and retuned suspension give the X4 a different personality than the X3, though not as much as you think. It is a joy to drive on a twisty road and has four selectable driving modes – Sport+, Sport, Comfort and Eco Pro – allowing you to customize your driving experience. To make the X4 as fuel efficient as possible, it comes with BMW EfficientDynamics, which includes auto start/stop, low rolling-resistance tires, brake-energy regeneration and a coasting function. This works in conjunction with the Eco Pro driving mode which changes the X4’s throttle response and gear shifts to further economy.

Environment

While the cabin of the X4 mostly resembles the X3, BMW has given it a few unique features to make it feel exclusive. The BMW X4 Page 26

BMW X4: Crossover’s biggest competitor might just be BMW’s own X3 continued from page 23

front passengers sit 20 mm lower and the rear bench has a more pronounced two-seat appearance to accentuate the look of the exterior. The X4 can seat five passengers, however only four will be truly comfortable. The rear centre seat is really just a perch. The two outer seats don’t have a lot of headroom because of the sloping roof, but anyone under six-feet should be fine. For rear passengers, floor height is concerning. Knee room is quite good, but because the seats were lowered to provide adequate headroom, passengers may feel like their knees are a bit high. As can be expected, the X4 has less cargo space than an X3. However, the rear seats are split 40/20/40 to make the space as versatile as possible. Accessing that space has been made easier thanks to the Smart Opener system which opens the tailgate by wav-

ing your foot under the rear bumper. The X4 comes with a good amount of standard technology features, including BMW’s iDrive with a 6.5-inch control display. This system can be upgraded to access the Internet and have one of the best navigation systems on the market with Advanced Real Time Traffic Information. It is also available with many comforting safety options. These include Active Blind Spot Detection and a Lane Departure and Collision Warning system that gives a gentle vibration of the steering wheel to get your attention.

Features

The 2015 X4 has a starting price of $46,300. Standard equipment includes heated front seats, electric seats with driver memory, leather multifunction steering wheel, heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, dynamic cruise control, runflat tires, and a sun-

Package. Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the xDrive28i are 11.8 city, 8.4 highway and 10.3 combined. The xDrive35i returns 12.5 city, 8.7 highway for 10.8 combined.

The X4 provides a nice combination of sports coupe design with the versatility of a crossover. The X4 has one of the best steering feel in its class.

Thumbs Up

The X4’s styling is polarizing and its coupe-

like proportions limits practicality. Rear visibility is quite poor.

The Bottom Line

The all-new BMW X4 is not an ordinary SUV and will please customers who want something unique and stylish.

Afghanistan veteran holds fundraiser to help soldiers get back into civilian life Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

After almost eight years in the military, two-tour Afghan veteran Jennifer Scott recently found herself once again prone in the mud during a field exercise when she decided it was time to get out. On the one hand, the 25-year-old thought it was awesome her commander

and master warrant officer were right down in the mud with her, but on the other, she saw her own future and didn’t like it. “I don’t want to be 50 years old and laying in the mud,” she said. “I just wanted to see what else was out there.” Since leaving last November, though, it’s taken every bit of her willpower to stay out. “Since I got out, all I’ve been doing is missing it,” she said. “It’s a really hard feeling to explain.

Thank you for your donations in Cpl. Cirillo’s honour! The day after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot while standing on guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Glacier Media, which owns this newspaper, started a crowdfunding campaign for his son’s trust fund. Thanks to donations from our readers, the campaign has almost reached $6,000. This outpouring of support is a testament to how deeply his death has touched us all. To all who have donated, a heartfelt thank you. To those who would like to contribute, the campaign will remain open until November 11.

family behind. These are people that you rely on every day to keep you alive. … It’s like you’re trying to find a new identity.”

The transition from military to civilian life isn’t easy for other soldiers either, so Scott, who is now studying marketing management at BCIT, has organized a fund-

raiser to help out. Called Mission Transition, it’s a 5k/10k fun run in Central Park this Saturday (Nov. 8). Proceeds will go to a

scholarship fund for current and former soldiers in BCIT’s Legion Military Skills Conversion Program. Among other things, the program awards academic credits for military experience. Scott, for example, is a former regular force Master Corporal of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadian) Regiment – a position that put her in charge of a team of 10 people and paperwork for 100 more – so a couple of her first year courses, like principles of management, were waived. The Military Skills Conversion Program also means extra support at BCIT for former soldiers. “It was a really great feeling knowing that you weren’t there alone and that there were other military people in the same spot as you are,” Scott said. One of the reasons she wants to raise money for scholarships is so her fellow ex-soldiers won’t have to spend their military pension money to go to school. The run is being presented by Enactus BCIT, a student-led non-profit.
