DIGGING IT: Lisa Codd at the Burnaby Village Museum wants local residents to call in with stories of what they like to grow in their gardens. The museum will then use the information to create a new demonstration garden that showcases what kinds of food people can grow locally.

A different kind of grow-op By Jennifer Moreau

The Burnaby Village Museum wants to know what local residents are growing in their backyards to help create a new demonstration garden on the museum grounds. The garden will showcase the kinds of food that can be grown locally, while highlighting the connection to Burnaby’s history of growing food. “I’m really interested in stories of history that show continuity between the past and the present,” said the museum’s Lisa Codd. “We’re interested in showing this land that is Burnaby has a capacity to

grow food. It had the capacity in the past, and it has the capacity in the present.” From First Nations to settlers, Burnaby has long been a place where locals have grown their own food, Codd pointed out. In times of scarcity during the Depression and the Second World War, backyard gardens offered some semblance of food security.Today, there are still local, commercial farms, but there were many more in the past, Codd explained. “In terms of the backyard, deﬁnitely an early draw to moving to Burnaby was to purchase a big enough plot of land to have a garden and raise animals.” Museum staff will start planting the large plot in April, and the garden should

be ready by May. Codd described the space as a giant box in a meadow on the museum grounds. People will be able to stop by the museum and talk to staff and gardeners to learn tips on growing their own food. The museum wants to hear what Burnaby residents grow, how they use it, how they preserve it and how they cook it. Codd is expecting beans and tomatoes as suggestions, but she’s also interested in more varied items from other cultures. The museum is in talks with a food bank to donate the produce. If you have some suggestions for the demonstration garden, call Codd at 604297-4542.

The City of Burnaby now has some crossCanada weight behind its call for the National Energy Board to fully restore its hearing process. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities passed a resolution Friday, calling on the NEB to reinstate full public hearings. Burnaby initially put forward the resolution at the fall meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and now the national federation has adopted it as well. UBCM president and Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said the move sends a strong message from 2,000 municipalities across Canada. “I think most people in Burnaby are supporting what the city is doing – on principle and on safety issues – but now we also know that when we are taking this stand to go against Kinder Morgan and the NEB that we have communities across the country supporting us, so that’s a good feeling,” he told the NOW. The resolution opposes changes to the NEB’s public hearing process, speciﬁcally the loss of open meetings, oral hearings and cross-examinations. Language in the resolution calls the move a “signiﬁcant erosion of the democratic rights of provinces, territories, local governments, First Nations and citizens.” The resolution also calls on the federal and provincial governments to restore the full public hearing process. The City of Burnaby is an intervenor in the NEB hearing for the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, which Mayor Derek Corrigan and city councillors oppose. According to NEB spokesperson Tara O’Donovan, the hearing process is determined by the board on a case-by-case basis. The Conservative government changed the NEB Act in 2012, and introduced a legislated timeline to have hearings completed in 15 Continued on page 8

Doc says: Vote Yes

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s medical health ofﬁcer says aYes win in the upcoming transit referendum could boost the city’s health more than many of the drugs doctors prescribe. Dr. Lisa Mu, whose job is to promote health among Burnaby and New Westminster residents and protect them from health risks, came out in support of the Yes side this week. “This is one of the most critical decisions that we can make for public health in the Lower Mainland probably for this decade and probably many more to come actually,” she told the NOW. The biggest health beneﬁt of aYes win for Burnaby, according to Mu, would be improved public transit. She said she decided to speak out this week because the referendum campaign is at a critical point and she has come to realize most people don’t associate transportation with health. They should, according to Mu, because even a small boost in transit use sparked

by better service could have a big impact on community health, she said. “If shifting something in the environment can shift behaviour at a population level, for whole communities by one, two, three per cent, that’s actually huge,” she said. “That’s actually much more signiﬁcant than a lot of the drugs that we prescribe.” The health beneﬁts of using transit pile up over time, Mu explained. “A bus trip is really an interrupted walking trip,” she said. “People walk to the bus stop, they walk to the SkyTrain and then they walk at the other end. People who take transit to work are not going to be driving to go somewhere for lunch. They’re going to be walking for their errands, walking for lunch during the day, and these are all steps that accumulate over the course of the day.Then, over the course of months to years, we see huge differences.” Transit users in the Lower Mainland are twice as likely to walk 30 minutes a day and more likely to meet daily activity recommenda-

tions than non-transit users, according to a study last year cited by Mu. “That has huge beneﬁts in terms of chronic disease prevention and in terms of mental health and well-being,” she said. For Mu, who walks, cycles, takes transit and drives to get around, the upcoming plebiscite on the pro-

posed $7.5-billion transportation plan and 0.5 per cent regional sales tax to help pay for it is not about TransLink. She is urging local residents to voteYes on the plan because she said rejecting it would delay what she calls “critically needed transportation improvements.” In Burnaby, she point-

ed to proposed new express buses and increased capacity on SkyTrain and existing bus routes that will make transit use a more appealing alternative to car travel. “I think that there’s been a lot of conversation about the politics,” she said of the referendum campaign, “and I think that folks really deserve to hear what some

of the facts are, and I think that as a medical health ofﬁcer, I have a responsibility to speak up on issues that I think are really important for the health of my communities and for the health of the region.” COMMENT ON THIS STORY

‘They love the dog...’

Buddy lives in a truck because his family can’t keep him in the apartment By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

For the last ﬁve months, Buddy the Rottweiler has lived in the cab of a Ford Econoline cutaway box truck parked outside his owner’s Burnaby apartment building. Neighbour Dave Payton doesn’t think that’s right. Conﬁning a dog that size in such a small space with the windows rolled up is “extreme cruelty,” as far as he is concerned. “He’s either asleep or sitting there, like now, with the sun beating down and the windows up,” Payton said of the dog earlier this week. “That cab isn’t six-feet wide and two-and-a-half-feet deep, that he has access to, and maybe four feet high. If the RCMP or a corrections

ofﬁcer did this kind of thing to a human being, he’d be on the rack.” He has called on the SPCA to seize the dog and adopt it out to another owner, but Buddy stayed put in the truck until this week. Not everyone in Payton’s Highgate neighbourhood agrees with his assessment of the situation. Lisa Nicholson, who lives right across the street from the truck, said Buddy is well cared for by the owner and two of his children. “I see them all the time,” she told the NOW. “I call the dog over and I give it treats and stuff. I have a little dog myself.” She said Buddy is taken for regular walks and gets plenty of attention, and the sun hasn’t been an issue so far.

“Eventually it’s going to, but they’re obviously going to be aware of that,” she said. “I mean, they love the dog. It’s so obvious.” Abdul Salam, the dog’s owner, said Buddy has lived in the truck because the building Salam moved into with two of his kids ﬁve months ago only allows small dogs. Despite the small space, he, too, said the dog was well cared for and happy. “Everything OK,” he told the NOW. “The dog has the feelings is good, mind is good, feeling is good.” Salam added the truck was only a temporary measure because he plans to return to his native Afghanistan soon and wants to take Buddy with him. He said the dog helped him to cope with depression

after his wife died of cancer last year, leaving him to take care of their three children on his own. The SPCA has been monitoring the situation since December, according to community relations manager Lorie Chortyk, but Buddy has not appeared to be in distress. “Unless the animal is in distress, we can’t intervene,” she told the NOW. “Those are the laws. It’s unfortunate, but those are the laws. We can’t just say, ‘We don’t like what you’re doing, so we’re going to take your animal.’” On Tuesday, however, Chortyk said Salam had voluntarily agreed to bring Buddy in for 15 days of free boarding with the society so he could have time to try to ﬁnd a new place for his

family and his dog. Chortyk said the SPCA deals with about 9,000 cruelty complaints a year. “Most of them can be resolved through education,”

she said, “We want that dog out of the car.We couldn’t legally make him do that, but through many, many conversations, he ﬁnally agreed to let us.”

Burnaby demands return of long census

COME IN AND RECEIVE A COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION AND DENTURE CARE PACKAGE FREE!

Lack of data impacts city’s ability to plan

By Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby wants the federal government to bring back the long-form census in 2016. City council passed a motion at Monday night’s meeting to send a resolution on the issue to the Lower Mainland Local Government Association and the Union of B.C. Municipalities. The voluntary household survey, which replaced the mandatory long-form census in 2011, does not provide communities with enough information for municipal planning, according to a staff report. “Our planning and, I think, planning staff right across the country are extremely worried that it has seriously affected the ability of cities to plan, given

that so much information now is reduced,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said at the meeting. “It’s an issue that I think all of us are concerned about and one that has been adopted in the past by other municipalities.” Burnaby council passed another motion on the issue in 2010, asking the federal minister of industry to reverse the decision. In 2006, the last year the long-form census was sent out to one-in-ﬁve Canadian households, there was a 94 per cent completion rate, according to the staff report. In 2011, though the voluntary form was sent to onein-three households, there was only a 68 per cent completion rate. Some community responses dipped to 25 per cent or lower, according to Statistics Canada. The low response in some

areas of Burnaby has made analysis unreliable, making planning difﬁcult for city staff, according to the report. The resolution reads: “Whereas the elimination of the mandatory long-form census has negatively affected the quality of statistical data available; and whereas local governments are particularly affected by this change given that the data is increasingly unreliable at the local and neighbourhood level; therefore be it resolved that the Union of B.C. Municipalities call on the federal government, through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, to reinstate the mandatory long-form census for the 2016 national census.” COMMENT ON THIS STORY

Where are the young voters? An election review by the city shows poor voter turnout at young ages Janaya Fuller-Evans

jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

While more people made it to city polls in 2014, Burnaby council is concerned at the low voter turnout for the 25-to-34 age range. Voter turnout from ages 65 to 74 was 43 per cent – the highest age range for engagement – but for the younger age range, it was only 15 per cent. “I think it’s a very disappointing result. It astounds me that people that have the most to gain, people whose life will be determined by those decisions, fail to act,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said at last Monday’s council meeting. “It’s extremely frustrating when you see the turnout from people who are over 65.” Coun. NickVolkow suggested that the youth vote might be increased if the voting age were dropped to 17. “I ﬁrmly believe if you lower the age – I said 16 before but now I’m prepared to go to 17 – but at 17, you’re in Grade 12 and you’re leaving to become a citizen,”Volkow said. “I think most 17-year-olds are mature enough and knowledgeable enough to know what an issue might be in an election campaign.” Corrigan pointed out that Burnaby’s 17-year-olds, and all youth in the city, are already citizens and added he’d like to see more engagement from those over 19 ﬁrst. Coun. Anne Kang spoke on behalf of the 25- to 34year-olds in the city. “Maybe they’re starting a family, maybe they’ve started a job or career,” she said, adding they’re more involved with social media and engaged in their own

interests. Kang suggested that a special voting opportunity or mobile polling station be located at a post-secondary institution in the city during the next election. “Eighteen to 24, kids are excited and out of school, and they’re full of aspirations,” she said, adding that they’re spending more time at the city’s malls, where there were polling stations this year. Despite the low youth turnout, overall turnout did increase, though it was lower than the provincial average. Last November, 28.92 per cent of registered voters made it to city polls. In 2011, 23.3 per cent of registered voters cast their ballots. In the 2014 election, the provincewide average was 33.3 per cent. “There were 8,555 voters that voted in this election that hadn’t voted previously, and that’s very impressive,” Corrigan said. “That’s a lot more people enter-

ing the democratic process. It’s still not good enough. I don’t think any of us are satisﬁed that 28 per cent of our population is enough people voting, but it’s certainly an improvement.” Council attributed the increased engagement in Burnaby to new initiatives taken by the city, such as Vote Anywhere. Vote Anywhere allowed residents to vote at any of the 35 polling stations in the city.There were also special stations set up at 18 care facilities in the city and Burnaby Hospital, according to a report from the chief election ofﬁcer, Lynne Axford. Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed malls had polling stations, as well. The city also used MunicipalVoterView – an online suite of services that managed voter lists, workers and provided access to candidates, according to the report. VoterView replaced manual processes used in past elections and provided data

on the demographics of voters, such as age ranges. Axford’s report also detailed plans for the 2018 civic election, including leasing new vote-counting machines. The city’s 42 voting machines were bought in 1996, according to Axford, and they aren’t being made anymore. “Because of that, and the technology that’s changing, we’re looking at leasing,” she said in an interview with the NOW. As far as engaging youth in the next election, Axford said the city would look at doing more on social media for 2018. The city is looking into having an advance voting polling station on the Wednesday before the election right at Simon Fraser University in 2018. “There’s typically less turnout on theWednesday,” Axford explained. “This would give students the opportunity to vote while they’re in classes.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Who’ll get blamed for a No victory? The ballots haven’t even entered the mail stream yet, and the blame game has already begun. We speak, of course, about the transit plebiscite. Metro Vancouver residents will very shortly be voting on whether to accept a 0.5 per cent increase to the PST to help fund 10 years’ worth of transit projects, put forth by the Mayors’ Council. With polls leaning heavily

towards the No side, theYes side is pounding the pavement, promising to have Jim Pattison watch over the funds, and generally launching every glad-handing politician at every SkyTrain lineup hoping to move the vote. When the plebiscite was ﬁrst discussed, the provincial government tended to catch the heat. After all, if the province was managing things prop-

erly, why would it even come to this? And then the Mayors’ Council looked like the ones to blame. After all, how had they let things get stalled like this? Why couldn’t the mayors agree on anything? And then there’s TransLink – whatever that really is. The average Joe rightfully looks at the golden deals of bigwigs at the organization,

the ﬁtness facilities for staff, and the broken plans for – well, a lot of things – and

There’ll be a lot of blame to go around. thinks someone in that mess has to be to blamed. And now, yes, now, the

over-55 set are getting blamed. Everyone with a car and a carport and some grey in their hair is already getting blamed for voting No and scuttling a future ﬁlled with shiny new buses, better bridges and a SkyTrain system that actually runs. The baby boomers are apparently, when polled, leaning towards No because they don’t use or need transit, they hate paying more

taxes and spend a lot of time in Arizona or in their La-Z-Boy recliners hissing at Mulcair when he is on the news. Unfortunately, some of this may be true. But what we know for sure is that no one under 50 or over 50 who is not an elected politician or a TransLink executive or board member is to blame. If the plebiscite, as predicted, fails, there’ll be a lot of blame to go around.

Burnaby Mountie follows his nose to giant pot bust The fine-tuned nose of Const. Tim Evans of the Burnaby RCMP bike patrol was credited with sniffing out the largest marijuana grow operation ever uncovered in the city. Evans traced the smell of pot to a building masquerading as a fertilizer distribution centre on Beresford Street. A subsequent search led to the arrest of two men and the seizure of 2,200 plants worth an estimated $2.5 million. Police also seized about $50,000 worth of grow lights and other equipment but found no link between the arrested men and organized crime. RCMP used a five-ton truck to haul away the marijuana plants, which ranged in size from tiny clones to six-foot tall trees.

Can we have improved transit without raising taxes?Yes, but we might need to settle for the proverbial Chevy instead of the Cadillac transportation plan. Our recent survey found that over 80 per cent of small businesses are opposed to TransLink’s proposed new regional sales tax. Small business also ﬁrmly rejects the frame that theYes side is putting around the debate – that voting No is anti-transit, or worse. Small business owners do not feel that transportation must be support-

ed at any cost.Their position is most accurately summed up as:Transportation yes, new taxes no. This common sense view is supported by a comprehensive TransLink efficiency review done a few years ago by Shirocca Consulting: “Compared to Canadian peers,TransLink exhibits an abundance of equipment and staffing levels that help to explain its generally higher costs and lower efficiency and effectiveness than most of the peers, even after taking into account the challenges of its large service area … it is

important that TransLink ensures that every dollar spent gets maximum value. To do so, it should tighten budgets to encourage ﬁscal tension and discipline in how it delivers its services.” TransLink is collecting and spending a lot of money already. It collects gas taxes, property taxes, hydro levies and fares, and spends $1.4 billion a year.TransLink would like to boost annual spending from $1.4 billion to $2.2 billion. As TransLink thinks about affordability, it would do well to remember that there is only one taxpayer.

Forty-three per cent of the money we earn, on average, goes to government taxes. Is it narrow-minded of anyone in this region to want their tax dollars to be spent wisely and to feel that they already pay enough to fund transportation and our many other priorities? Voting No is not a vote against transit.Voting No is a vote for an affordable transit plan and a reminder that we expect our tax dollars to be spent respectfully.

Civic tax burden just keeps on growing Dear Editor Tax time is here. Thanks to the NOW for warning us about increased property taxes. We all pay directly as property owners, or as renters indirectly through landlords. We also pay through businesses and organizations like the Hastings Street Legion with its sign still boldly proclaiming “born free, fought for freedom, taxed to death.” Add to that city water and garbage charges, due shortly. Have you dared to read your 2015 city utility bill? How much higher was it than 2014? Mine was 8.5 per cent higher. Over the last 10 years it’s up over 103 per cent. And no brownie points for all the eco-friendly effort to cut back on water use and garbage output. Tower developers and city unions contributed most of the BCA’s obscene $476,000 total reported election campaign donations. Their generousity indicates support for increases to our bills. But their generosity also resulted in an unprecedented number of condo and election brochures for me to transport (unwaged labour) to the recycling bin. The bin is then picked up (waged labour) by city staff that paid for many of the brochures in the first place. So, could we channel a portion of these election donations to a fund that incentivizes unwaged eco-friendly civic labour by reducing our bills?

That same oil has been fuelling the Lower Mainland for the last 60 years! … No. None of us want an oil spill. However, except for a handful of your fanatics, none of us want to shut down the area either. We will go as far as “buy” oil to keep us going, instead of “sell” oil to help others to reach our own level of prosperity, and, make money for Canada in the process … Now you will really have to put your thinking cap on! … Please explain why our salmon would prefer to get killed in a spill produced by and “incoming” tanker instead of a spill of an “outgoing” tanker? Who do you actually think you are talking to when you say: “Do you want tar in your can of salmon?”

Should mayor keep out of the transit referendum ﬁght? richmondite01 Sorry, Mayor Corrigan, I think you’re a bit unclear on the concept. When you’re part of a Board, you can air your comments opposed to a policy direction at the Board meeting. When the Board votes and agrees upon a course of action, you must support the direction the Board has taken, even if you are not in agreement. But, given the level of arrogance and entitlement you have shown in recent years, it’s not surprising to read your comments. Bonnie Sjoberg First, there is some latitude on the interpretation of “support.” If Mayor Corrigan cannot in all conscience actively support this initiative, then his doing so would make him a hypocrite. He is fulfilling his obligations to the council by accepting the result and not trying to interfere.

News now Kinder Morgan works on ﬁre plan for tank farm Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Kinder Morgan is working on a fire safety plan for the Burnaby Mountain tank farm after recent talks with the local fire department, but the deputy fire chief is wondering why the plan isn’t in place already. Deputy fire chief Chris Bowcock said Kinder Morgan reviewed the fire department’s expectations in January – mainly that the tank farm needs be able to fight its own fires, as the department doesn’t handle major petroleum fires – and

the company is now working on “fire pre-plans.” According to Bowcock, the plans should include clearly identified resources, equipment and personnel for fighting a major fire. “Those protocols need to be in place right now, and they haven’t been.Those need to be in place and current all the time, and they are just building them right now,” he told the NOW. “They have said they would take it away and work on it. I’m not comfortable that it’s not currently in place.” The fire department’s agreement with other lo-

cal oil facilities is that they fight their own fires, while the Burnaby fire department protects the surrounding community and helps supply water. According to Bowcock, the tank farm used to have its own fire truck and fire brigade but got rid of it without notifying the department, and Kinder Morgan is now in contravention of the local fire code. Kinder Morgan maintains there has never been a fire at the facility in its 60 years of operations. The tank farm, located on the south slope of Burna-

by Mountain, consists of 13 tanks, holding a total of 1.6 million barrels of crude. Kinder Morgan spokesperson Ali Hounsell said the company already has a plan in place. “I guess, where we’re at with the Burnaby ﬁre department is, there’s a difference of opinion of what’s in that plan and what should be in that plan,” she told the NOW. Hounsell couldn’t say when the ﬁre pre-plans would be ready, but she said

the company is prepared to handle a fire. “If something happened today, we have the staff and the equipment to respond to it,” she said. When asked if staff could handle a fully involved fire in one of the tanks, Hounsell replied, “We would absolutely do what we can.” Hounsell pointed out that Kinder Morgan also pays property taxes in the City of Burnaby and should have access to fire response services like other businesses.

“That said, we’ve spent millions of dollars upgrading the fire system in the last few years, and they are far better than what was in place with the truck,” she said, adding that the number of people trained to fight fires at the tank farm has not changed over the years. “I guess it’s clear we do have different expectations and perspectives, and that’s why we’re pleased we’re sitting down at the table now,” she added.

Hearings at board’s discretion

Continued from page 1 months, but that didn’t really impact the NEB, as the board set its own timelines that weren’t that different, O’Donovan explained. “There’s been no change. We have ﬂexibility in how we set out our hearing process, some are oral, some are written, (some are both),” O’Donovan said. “There’s nothing in the (NEB) Act that tells us there needs to be an oral or

a written hearing. It’s the discretion of the board,” she said. “It has nothing to do with Bill C-38 and the changes that were brought in in 2012.” O’Donovan said the NEB’s hearing process is open and fair. “We have more than 400 intervenors registered to participate in the Trans Mountain pipeline hearing, which is more than any other hearing in the NEB’s his-

tory. In addition, we are expecting nearly 1,300 letters of comment from individuals and groups,” she said. “The Trans Mountain Project hearings combines written and oral hearing processes, which include an opportunity to ﬁle evidence, two rounds of written questions, four hearings to gather oral Aboriginal traditional evidence and the option of presenting written and oral ﬁnal arguments.”

Representatives from the Yes side in the transit plebiscite will be at the Burnaby Neighbourhood House next Tuesday to present their case. The general public is invited to attend to learn more about the upcoming transit vote.

News now SFU class designed to push youth transit vote Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby SFU student Danielle DeVries has become an advisor of sorts to friends and family about the upcoming transit vote. That’s pretty ironic considering the third-year health sciences student knew almost nothing about it just a few months ago. The difference has been a course she’s taking on SFU’s Burnaby campus called Health and the Built Environment. Aimed at encouraging students to explore the links between health and the way cities are built, the course this semester has focused on the ins and outs of the impending transit plebiscite and getting the youth population to vote in it. “It’s interesting to be hands-on on an issue that’s so pertinent to everyone in this area,” DeVries told the NOW. “I feel like I’ve suddenly become this adviser to all my friends and family because everyone’s coming to me and going, ‘What about this question? Have you heard anything about this?’” Aside from one traditional academic paper, the course has consisted of assignments, including blog posts and media projects, aimed at motivating young people to vote. “They are learning how

to make information more accessible and to create messages that mobilize the youth community,” said MeghanWinters of the 34 students in her class. “These are hugely beneﬁcial skills that will help them transition beyond the university.” DeVries started with her friends and family. “I’ve got them all registered – or they’re telling that they are because they don’t want to hear about it any more,” she said with a laugh. She has also had conversations with people outside her sphere and hopes those conversations keep going. “It is getting out there,” she said, “and I hope through us then it’ll spiral into other people’s contacts as well.” DeVries supports the proposed $7.5-billion transit plan and the half-per cent regional sales tax that will help pay for it. “We really need the improvements in the region,” she said. “Short term, yes, it’s going to cost money and we’re not going to see the results right away, but long term, we’re going to have a healthier region.” But DeVries knows she has her work cut out for her, getting her fellow students to cast a ballot. One important obstacle, she said, is that many aren’t registered to vote in the plebiscite and don’t know

Walking the line: Many SFU students rely on transit for their daily commute to campus – and one course at SFU is taking the initiative to get youth involved in the transit plebiscite.

they need to be. Even after that step, though, she isn’t convinced all her schoolmates will send in their completed ballots. “I think it’s personal initiative,” she said, “and it’s also that students are busy. They say, ‘Oh yeah, that’s a good idea. I should register,’ but then we go to work and have a class and write a paper, and it slips your mind.”

Business now PROFILE

Jack Newton

Occupation CLIO FOUNDER & CEO Why is he in the news? Managing a law firm is no easy task, between mountains of paperwork and day-to-day dealings with an array of clients. That’s where Burnaby’s Clio comes in. Clio designs cloud-based software for law practices to better organize schedules, sort out billing information and save time. Co-founder and CEO Jack Newton started the company with his childhood friend, Rian Gauvreau, in 2008. The business was the first of its kind. Newton was born in Toronto but met Gauvreau in Edmonton, where they both went to elementary school. The pair made their way to B.C. to get Clio off the ground.

Tell us a bit about your background? I was born in Toronto and moved to Edmonton to pursue my bachelor’s and master’s degree in computer science at the University of Alberta. Right out of school, I worked for about ﬁve years at a U of A spinoff company, Chenomx, which sparked my love for startups, and eventually led to me co-founding Clio. How did Clio start? I co-founded Clio in 2008 with Rian Gauvreau, whom I have known since the third grade, and moved to Vancouver in 2011 when Clio started to take off. Clio was the ﬁrst-to-market solution for cloud-based practice management, and is the established market leader in the space

Newton’s background in computer science and his love of startups have served him well in his own business venture. The Burnaby startup has a large user base in the U.S., with other users spread across 52 countries. The company now has more than 90 employees and is opening a second office in Toronto, The NOW chatted with Newton about starting a company with a childhood friend, choosing Burnaby for the company’s headquarters, relaxed work environments, the widespread use of their niche software, and what’s to come for the local startup.

– Jacob Zinn today. Our software helps lawyers and law ﬁrms around the world manage their business, cases, and operations. What went into the development of this program? In the early days, Rian and I received a great deal of input and advice from the Law Society of British Columbia, a leader in the realm of helping lawyers adopt legal technology.The LSBC has since published a comprehensive guide to help B.C. lawyers adopt cloud computing. Rian is also the former IT manager at a major Canadian law ﬁrm where he gained insights into how legal technology does (and doesn’t) work. How many people have used Clio? What has the response been like from lawyers and legal experts?

GET ORGANIZED Jack Newton (right) and Rian Gauvreau, founders of Burnaby-based software company Clio, are trying to make organizational chores like billing and scheduling easier for law practices. Newton took some time to tell the NOW about how the company got started and why Burnaby was a good fit. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED Clio has customers in over 52 countries, with 90 per cent of customers in the U.S. It is used in over 100 law schools includingYale, Stanford, and the University of Chicago. The response is overwhelmingly positive. Over the years, our users have become our biggest evangelists.They’re very passionate about what they do and they trust Clio enormously to help them with the business side of their practice. How did you end up in Burnaby? Why was Burnaby a suitable location for Clio’s headquarters? Burnaby is a central location within the Lower Mainland with good transit connections and cost-effective real estate with generous space and amenities. It’s also close to BCIT and other tech companies like EA and IBM.We were able to

We want to see Clio become the de facto standard invest in a larger space where we could build out the amenities and work environment we dreamed of. Clio offers a pretty casual work environment.Why was it important to offer employees a laid-back workplace? We work more like a startup in Silicon Valley than a corporate Vancouver company. Employees are encouraged to work together, ﬁnd solutions, celebrate success and lift each other up.We give them access to the latest tools and technologies and live the mantra of cloud computing. Aside from building the leading cloud-based practice management software,

Community conversations

employees at Clio love the perks they get here: wellness programs, a beautiful open ofﬁce space, espresso machines, approachable leaders, and a quick paced, ever-growing company that doesn’t sit still and is always looking to innovate. What are your goals for Clio in the next ﬁve to 10 years? We have some lofty goals for the future.We want to see Clio become the de facto standard for lawyers around the world.We want to expand our customer base, improve our product, provide more value, host an even better customer conference, be smarter in sales and marketing, provide even better and more responsive customer support. Of course, we’re always striving to be healthier and happier in our jobs, and do more new and exciting things.

Resumé

The entrepreneur developed a love of startups while working at a University of Alberta spin-off company called Chenomx, after getting his master’s degree in computer science at the university. Newton, who was originally from Toronto, grew up in Edmonton and attended the U of A for his bachelor’s, as well. Like most entrepreneurs, Newton did not succeed right away. He and childhood friend Rian Gauvreau attempted to start a number of businesses together before finally coming up with the concept for Clio in 2008. The pair gathered information and feedback from the Law Society of British Columbia to guide the development of their cloud-based software. Newton and Gauvreau moved to B.C. in 2011, when Clio took off.

Sparkling affair helps Neighbourhood House Jennifer Moreau

HERE & NOW jmoreau@newwestrecord.ca

The Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s annual fundraiser pulled in more than $40,000 to help pay for local community programs. The annual Diamond Ball was held on Saturday, Feb. 28, and approximately 240 people attended. “What was most important was the support we had in that room, from business sponsors, the city politicians, people that are there to support the work we’re doing in the community,” said Antonia Beck, executive director of the Burnaby Neighbourhood House. “I’m very pleased we raised over $40,000,” she added. “We need the funding so badly. There are so many needs in our operating costs, so we have to fund ourselves.” The evening featured a plated dinner, music from a Beatles tribute band, and live and silent auctions. Trio Diamond and Gold Jewellery donated a dia-

mond for the prize draw, along with a $500 gift certiﬁcate to have it made into a piece of jewelry. (Congrats to Lisa Lacamel, who won the diamond.) Money raised from the annual gala will help pay for Neighbourhood House’s lunch program for seniors, community dinners and youth leadership programs. DOCUMENTARY ON DEBT The McGill library branch is hosting a screening of Payback on Thursday, March 26 from 7 to 8:45 p.m. The documentary is based on Margaret Atwood’s book Payback, debt and the shadow side of wealth.

The university’s Institute for Diaspora Research and Engagement partnered with the Italian Cultural Centre in Vancouver to conduct an online survey of third-generation Italians, asking questions about how they related to their Italian identity. “This was interesting, because many of them reported their parents had not taught them Italian, and some indicated their parents had been reluctant to instill in them a strong sense of culture,” said Eva Sajoo, the institute’s researcher who designed the survey, in a press release. While second generation Italians tried assimilating into Canadian culture, their children were more likely to show interest in their Italian identity, according to the study.

accumulated more wealth than in any other time in modern history. “Leftovers is my attempt to see if maybe laughing at some of this stuff is a more effective means of dealing with this than just pure de-

spondence,” Demers says in the video. Demers wrote and stars in the show, which is designed by Parjad Shariﬁ. Leftovers is onstage in the Shadbolt’s Studio Theatre, 6450 Deer Lake Ave., at

He’s one of Vancouver’s best-loved comedians, and he’s also – gasp! – a socialist. Charlie Demers, a CBC Debaters star and Just for Laughs alumni, is bringing his brand of political commentary to the stage at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in Leftovers. “Leftovers is a one-person show – I’m the person – to basically kind of grapple with the idea of a life spent on the political left in the worst possible historical period in the last 200 years to be of the left,” Demers says in a video promo for the show. The Neworld Theatre production, directed by MarcusYoussef, reﬂects the political reality of the world Demers was born into in 1980 – right between the election of Ronald Reagan in the U.S. and Margaret Thatcher in the U.K. It’s a time a press release dubs “the worst era for socialism since Marx wrote Das Kapital,” as, over the past 30 years, the world’s richest one per cent have

Retired drama teacher returns to centre stage Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

A retired Burnaby drama teacher is taking to the stage in the White Rock Players’ Club’s next outing. Alison Schamberger, well-known in the city from her years at Burnaby North, appears in the club’s production of Quartet. Ronald Harwood’s play tells the story of lifelong friends Wilf and Reggie and former colleague Cissy, all residents of Beecham House – a home for retired opera singers. Every year on Giuseppe Verdi’s birthday, the residents unite to give a concert to raise funds for the home – but everything changes when a new resident arrives in the person of Jean, Reggie’s ex-wife and a former grande dame of the opera world. Schamberger appears as Cissy, with Nina Shoroplova as Jean, Adrian Duncan as Wilf and George Stone as Reggie. It’s onstage April 8 to 25 at the Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock, with shows Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees on April 12 and 19 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for students and seniors, and $10 for the April 8 and 9 previews. See www.whiterock players.ca for all the details. (And a random side note for ﬁlm buffs:The play has also been adapt-

ed into a movie, directed by Dustin Hoffman and starring the indomitable Maggie Smith. I totally recommend seeing it – after you see the stage play!) GOTTA SING? GOTTA APPLY Is there a young talent in your house who loves to perform? Kids aged nine to 19 are invited to apply for the Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance! summer program, which has been running for 20 years at the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver. Director-creator Perry Ehrlich has assembled a professional faculty that includes musical directors Wendy Bross Stuart and Lonnie Delisle, director Chris McGregor, choreographers Isabelle Maheux, Anna Kuman, Keri Minty and Andy Cohen, acting coach Advah Soudack, and Shizuka Kai and Stephen Beaver on set construction and costume coordination. The program has become

well-known for turning out successful young performers, with many alumni going on to careers in the performing arts. It’s been popular among talented young Burnaby kids, too – over the years, such familiar faces as Nicole Heidema, Karis Ducharme, Lucas Testini and Angela King, who’ve been featured in these pages, have been part of the program. There are two summer sessions available – July 7 to 30, and Aug. 4 to 27 – and applications must be received by April 1. Sessions run Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with an end-of-day “ﬁnishing school” also offered for serious students that delves into aspects such as audition technique and intensive dance workshops. Check out www.the impresario.ca for all the details or to apply. Do you have an item for Lively City? Send ideas to Julie, jmaclellan@burnabynow. com, or ﬁnd her on Twitter, @juliemaclellan.

today’sdrive ‘Green’ lawsuit for Apple?

LAWSUIT SUGGESTS APPLE HARD-CORE INTO EVS: Fashionable computer maker Apple is fast-building its industrial lithium-ion battery capabilities, reports the Reuters news service, adding to evidence that the iPhone/iPad/iMac maker might be developing its own car. Apple is building its own battery division, claims a lawsuit filed against it by battery maker A123, which says the Silicon Valley-based firm “poached” five of its top battery engineers last year. All told, the five engineers from A123 have filed for 23 new patents, says an analysis by Thomson Reuters, three times what Apple has on its own.The former A123 employees hired by Apple have expertise primarily in battery-cell design, materials and development and manufacturing engineering, says the analysis. Apple did not comment. COMPRESSED-AIR CAR MIGHT LAUNCH IN HAWAII THIS YEAR: Indian automaker Tata has reportedly joined with Luxembourg-based Motor Development International to put a compressed air car on sale in Hawaii before the end of this year, through franchisee Zero Pollution Motors.The tiny AirPod, said to seat three adults and one child, has a top speed of about 80 km/h, while its onboard tanks will hold enough compressed air to give it a range in excess of 190 zero-emission kilometres.Tata tested prototype compressed air-powered cars in 2012, but has said little about them since. Several other companies have experimented with compressed-air cars in recent years but they, too, have gone quiet. Refilling the tanks will require special compressed-air stations. JAGUAR MIGHT BE PLANNING ITS FIRST ELECTRIC TALL WAGON: The upcoming F-Pace could also be the luxury automaker’s first electric vehicle.The new tall wagon is expected to launch in 2016, but the internal-combustion

models could be followed in 2018 by an all-electric version, says British auto magazine Autocar.This version would reportedly have a range of nearly 500 kilometres per charge, giving Jaguar a competitor to the new Tesla Model X, due to go on sale this year. American vehicle website MotorAuthority adds that in addition to luring away Tesla buyers, the electric F-Pace could help Jaguar compete in California and other states that have adopted a zero-emission-vehicle mandate. Eight U.S. states plan to put 3.3 million electric cars on the road by 2025. GM AIMS TO SPARK EV SALES IN MARYLAND: General Motors will sell its 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV in Maryland this spring, making it the ﬁrst East Coast state to offer the electric minicar. Maryland will be only the third state in which GM has sold the vehicle, the other two being California and Oregon where, collectively, 1,145 units were sold last year. The Spark EV has a connection to Maryland, reports the alternative vehicle website Green Car Reports: both its electric motor and drivetrain are manufactured at a GM plant in White Marsh. For 2015, the Spark EV has a claimed maximum range of 82 miles (130 kilometres) per charge and is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack with cells from GM’s longtime battery supplier, LG Chem. SHIFT POINTS • Toyota has opened its thousands of hydrogen-related patents to advance fuel-cell technology, allowing rival companies to use its research royalty-free.Toyota, the auto industry’s primary proponent of hydrogen, believes that sharing technology can boost interest in fuel cells, helping hydrogen become a viable alternative to fossil fuels.That would serve to strengthen its own business case. • The Cal State L.A. Hydrogen and Fueling Facility is the ﬁrst fueling station in that state to sell hydrogen. Until now, hydrogen was provided free to fuel-cell vehicle owners because of the lack of an accurate metering system. • Volkswagen has called on American legislators to do more to encourage elec-

The 2015 Deer Lake Gravity Grand Prix marks the return of the soapbox derby on Sperling Avenue, which was last held in 2010. Burnaby city council approved road closures for the derby, to be held along Sperling Avenue and Deer Lake Drive, at a council meeting earlier this month. The roads will be closed to regular trafﬁc from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the races beginning at 11 a.m. If the June 13 event is rained out, the races will be held on June 14.

Jr. B Steelers in a hard place EDC Grandview hockey club ﬁnds itself down 3-1 in PJHL best-of-seven conference ﬁnal Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

The Grandview Steelers have a hard playoff road ahead of them. The Jr. B hockey club dropped a 3-1 decision to the regular-season champion North Vancouver Wolf Pack and now stare elimination in the face in its best-of-seven Pacific Junior Hockey League playoff series. “(North Van) definitely has the momentum winning three games, but we’re just going to come out and work harder. I have no doubt we’re going to come out and win the next game,” said Grandview captain Michael Willms after the game. Grandview scored first on an opportunistic wrist shot from out in front by rookie Quinn Thompson. North Van had its chances in the opening period, too, but Steelers’ goalie Cole MacInnes and a little puck luck kept Grandview in the lead. North Van captain Brodyn Nielson had the Wolf Pack’s best opportunity but missed a wide open net in the final minutes of the period. The Wolf Pack finally got on the scorebard on a power play in the second periood. Nielson shook off his first-period miss, tallying the first of two extra-man goals, including the deciding score at the six-minute mark of the third period on

a marginal, mid-ice slashing call. “Those power play goals definitely hurt us a bit,” said Willms. “Our work ethic has got us here. It showed in the first game. We got to capitalize on our opportunities.We just got to get more pucks on the net.” Grandview pulled out all the stops in an attempt to tie the score, outshooting NorthVan 13-8 in the final

frame. The Wolf Pack could wrap up the series tonight (Friday) at the Harry Jerome rec centre at 7:45 p.m. The Steelers gave back the series’ advantage to the Wolf Pack, falling 3-2 at the Harry Jerome rec centre last Saturday and 5-3 at home the following night. On March 7, Peter Matthews tied up the contest 2-2 in the second period,

but following a scoreless third frame,Wolf Pack defenceman Connor Pasco of Burnaby tallied the game winner in overtime to even the series. In Game 3, both teams evenly shared six goals in a wild opening ﬁrst period, but two markers in the middle frame, including the go-ahead counter from afﬁliate Christian Gacina, stood up for North Van. Timothy Chow, who cur-

rently leads the playoffs with 11 goals, counted a pair on the power play less than a minute apart that temporarily tied the contest at 2-2. But Willms said the Grandview club is not going down without a ﬁght. “It’s going to go all the way to Game 7 and bring this one home,” he said. If necessary, Game 6 is back at the winter club on Sunday at 4 p.m.

Clan club upset league champion TWU

Six-time ﬁnalist SFU looking to stop Selkirk College intercollegiate hockey three-peat Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

Simon Fraser University didn’t let a first-place team get in the way of a good playoff run. The fourth-place, regular-season-finishing Clan club polished off league champion Trinity Western University in straight games in the opening round of the best-of-three B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League playoffs. SFU stole a 3-2 decision over the first-place Spartans on a third-period goal by first star Adam Callegari

wins again

at the Langley Events Centre last Thursday. Earlier in the game, Callegari gave the 12-12 Clan a one-goal lead with his ﬁrst of the game on a power play in the opening period.Teammate Jono Ceci made the score 2-1 midway through the second period. Jordan Liem was solid in goal for the Clan, making 34 stops. On Friday, Callegari was again a factor, sparking a three-goal third period that sent SFU through to the playoff ﬁnal following a 6-4 win over Trinity Western at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre.

Liem was called on to make just 16 saves for his second playoff win in goal. Ceci shaved a first-period deficit to 2-1 on a power play, while game star Trent Murdoch briefly tied the game at 3-3 in the middle period with his second goal of the stanza. In the third, Callegari and Murdoch teamed up for the game-tying goal, before Jesse Mysiorek, with the game-winner, and Nick Sandor, both scored less than four minutes apart for the win. SFU also ended the regular season with a pair of back-to-back wins over the

Langley school. “I think we did a good job ﬁxing some of the problems we had earlier in the year,” said Clan head coach Mark Coletta. That change came at cost for the league champs. Last season, a 10-130-1 Trinity Western team knocked off runner-up SFU in three games in the ﬁrst round of playoffs. This season, those roles were reversed. “It’s a disappointing end to a season that had so much promise and potential,” said TWU coach Barret Kropf in a Langley press release. “(SFU) fed us the

same medicine that we gave them last year.” The Clan will take on the defending B.C. Intercollegiate champions Selkirk College in the first of a best-of-three final series in the unfriendly confines of the Castlegar rec centre, beginning today (Friday, March 13). Coletta relishes the idea of walking into a hostile environment to complete SFU’s playoff march. “There’s nothing better than being on the road. It’s motivating,” Coletta said. “(Castlegar) is a good place to play....We know the type of guys we got.”

EDC FC Burnaby moved into a three-way tie for fourth place with Langley and Coquitlam MetroFord in Vancouver Metro Soccer League premier division last week. The Burnaby-based soccer club rattled off its fourth straight league win following a 4-2 victory over Croatia SC last weekend. “These guys just keep turning it up a notch every week,” said EDC head coach Claudio Ramirez. “We fell behind in the ﬁrst 10 as Croatia was pressing our outlet passes from the defence and we made a mistake on one of these – they intercepted and buried it.We made a couple of adjustments and then took over the game at about the 15-minute mark.” Chris Kydd knotted the score with a fantastic strike that beat the Croatian keeper to the top corner. Then, just before the half, Hussein Ibrahim tallied the go-ahead marker – that had all the trappings for goal of the year – with a full bicycle kick on an Eric Ray cross from inside the 18. In the second half, Ducivan Desouza, with a sure free kick, made it 3-1 with about 30 minutes left in the contest. Kydd, with his second goal of the game, scored on another long-range strike to seal it. Croatia got one back near the end to make it 4-2. “We gained some more conﬁdence going into the Metro-Ford game, which is always one of the toughest opponents in the league,” Ramirez said about Saturday’s afternoon matchup at Town Centre Stadium. “The team is playing close to its potential and the collective effort of the group is fantastic, everyone is working together thinking about the big picture.We are playing well, the guys can feel something special is happening and we will continue to take things one game at a time. … they’ve picked a perfect time to peak.” Saturday’s kick off is at 3 p.m.

Giants fall in opener First quarter-ﬁnal defeat in more than six years Tom Berridge

tberridge@burnabynow.com

The Northwest Giants had their B.C. major midget hockey post season cut short by the South Island Royals last week. The B.C. league runner-up dropped Game 3 of the best-of-three ﬁrst round playoff 2-1 in overtime to the upstart Royals at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday. The Burnaby-based Giants held a precarious 1-0 lead for most of the contest – on a short-handed, dump-in goal from captain Keegan Jones that took a lucky bounce past the Island keeper. But South Island’s Cam Thompson erased the deﬁcit with less than four minutes left in the game to send the deciding game into a third consecutive overtime. Kayden Peck got the upset winner after seven minutes of extra time. For the goal-challenged Giants, it was a disppointing bit of forshadowing. The Giants were just the sixth-highest scoring club in the 11-team major midget league this season, averaging less than four goals per outing over the 40-game season. In comparison, South Island scored six more times but had eight less victories than the Giants.

“That was one of our biggest issues this season,” said Giants head coach Clint Thornton, who also struggled to field a healthy lineup for most of the year. In fact, the Giants played just three games all season with a healthy 20-man roster, while forced to play 50 affiliate-man games this year. “It was a tough year, but to finish in second place with these types of challenges was a compliment to the players,”Thornton added. South Island, the seventh-place finishers during the regular season, took a two-goal lead on a pair of second-period goals less than three minutes apart and then prevailed in OT to take the opening game 3-2 at the winter club on March 6. In Game 2, the Giants got off to a better 2-0 start, with goals from Mateo Coltellaro and Josh Latta, before the Royals drew even with a pair of counters in the final frame. Nash Dabb got the game-winner for the Giants early in overtime. The Royals move on to the semifinals against the regular season champion Cariboo Cougars. Cariboo had a tough time in its quarter-final as well, finishing off eighth-place Fraser Valley in three games following a 4-2 win in Prince George on Sunday.

Blazer sips from Cup

Kaleigh Fratkin celebrated a Clarkson Cup with the Boston Blazers of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League on March 7. The Burnaby defenceman helped the Blazers to a 3-2 win in overtime over the Montreal Stars to claim Boston’s second cup title in three seasons. The Blazers advanced to the ﬁnal with earlier back-to-back 3-0 and 7-3 wins over the Toronto Furies in a best-of-three semiﬁnal series.

Fratkin, a plus-two player for Boston in the playoffs, had an assist in the opening playoff shutout over Toronto on March 4. The last time Boston and Montreal faced off in a Clarkson Cup final was two years ago, when the Blades beat the threetime defending champions Stars 5-2, to win their first-ever women’s hockey title. The seventh annual Clarkson Cup final, coined the Stanley Cup of women’s hockey, was played in Markham, Ont. tberridge@burnabynow.com
