SHE’S AMERICAN– HE’S CANADIAN

It’s Trump versus Clinton in Burnaby Couple wants locals to weigh in on U.S. election By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The quiet corner of Moreland Drive in Burnaby is probably one of the last places you might expect to see the battle for the White House playing out. But much like the 2016 race down south between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, this isn’t a typical year. On the nicely manicured front lawn of Jennifer April and Michael Matich’s Burnaby home is a mini-election of sorts.The couple has erected a ballot and campaign signs for both candidates in the American presidential election. And they want locals to weigh in on the race. “We care about what Canada cares about, so that’s why we decided to do that.We want to know, what do Canadians feel about American politics,” April told the NOW. The story of how all this came about is a perfect example of international relations. April, who is American, met her husband, a Burnaby resident and Canadian, on a cruise in 2007, and by 2009 she had moved up to B.C. as a permanent resident. Then just a few weeks back, the couple was in Delaware to sell April’s home, when they got the idea for the mock ballot and picked up some election signs along the way. She said the idea start-

ELECTION FEVER: Jennifer April, who is American, and her Canadian husband Michael Matich have started a mock U.S. election by posting ballots for interested

residents to fill out on the front lawn of their Burnaby home. So far, Democrat Hillary Clinton is way out in front of Republican candidate Donald Trump . PHOTOS CORNELIA NAYLOR

ed out as a bit of a joke, but within hours of putting up the ballots last week, people were coming by and marking their choices, even though it doesn’t count. And based on the early results, Burnaby is Clinton country. A quick count this week showed the Democrat and former First Lady way out in front of the Republican businessman by a margin of six to one. The couple is actually surprised how many votes Clinton has received so far. While her Canadian husband won’t get to vote in the U.S. election just less than two months away,

April will get to do the real thing by absentee ballot. So far, the American hasn’t made up her mind and is waiting to see how things shake out before deciding. “I’m tired of the attack ads, I want to hear their plan, what is their strategy and how are they going to fix things,” she said. “I’m very concerned about America and I always will be. I’m worried about what happens to them and my vote matters.” April admitted if Bernie Sanders, who was Clinton’s Democratic primary challenger, had been the candidate, he would have re-

ceived her vote. “The whole world is watching and it’s almost embarrassing that people don’t like either one of them (Clinton and Trump),” she said. As for the front yard vote, April’s pretty confident Clinton will take this battle, and the actual election too. The couple also plans to leave the ballot up until election night. And if someone decides to steal one of the campaign signs, she’ll just get more to take their place. COMMENT ON THIS AT

Newsnow SAVING THE SALMON

Sediment pours into Silver Creek Burnaby streamkeeper says it’s the worst run-off he’s seen in a decade By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A local streamkeeper is once again raising concerns about silty run-off from a construction site on Eastlake Drive that’s running into Silver Creek, a small salmon-bearing stream that feeds into Burnaby Lake. John Preissl, a Burnaby resident who keeps an eye on the waterway, was at the construction site on Friday, when heavy rains washed sediment into Silver Creek. “The rain started washing away the mud from this massive slope they clear cut and ploughed,” Preissl said. “I went down there that afternoon, and that’s when it downpoured, and that’s when the whole slope washed away into the creek.” Preissl said he saw sediment, silt, gravel, sand, rocks and construction debris going into the east and west legs of the creek that run around the site, where the developer, Adera, is finishing work on a series of six office buildings. “It was the worst washout sediment issue I’ve seen in a decade of streamkeeping,” he said. Preissl took photos and video and phoned the City of Burnaby’s spill reporting line. A staff member came, and Preissl gave him a tour, pointing out the various problems. Preissl also contacted B.C.’s Ministry of Environment and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, but he said neither has responded. Preissl said the creek, which was hit by a coal spill in 2014, has been in trouble for a while. “It literally is an at-risk creek.This sediment has been a major issue for two and a half years,” he said. “People don’t realize how bad sediment is,” Preissl said. “Sediment literally suffocates these little fish to death.” The NOW first covered the story in 2014, when

Preissl raised concerns that silty rainwater was running into Silver Creek. At that time, the city inspected the site but said the source was likely from further upstream, but Preissl insist-

ed the construction site was the problem. “They did everything back then, in my opinion, to protect the developer,” Preissl said. This time, Dipak Dattani, Burnaby’s deputy director of engineering, wants a more thorough investigation. City staff visited the site and asked the developer’s contractor to re-

direct the water, clean up the ditches and install filters to help catch the silt, which reduced the run-off. By Tuesday, staff were planning another meeting with the contractor and an environmental monitor to look at additional measures that could be put in place, Dattani said. “I can’t say that they’re negligent, but I could say we are looking at areas (with more work) that can be done and further action provided. I’m not there yet,” he said. “That’s all part of the investigation I’d like to see. … I want to understand history prior to that to see: Did they do all they can?” Preissl said the silt was running all the way downstream to the Brunette River, but by Sunday, the water was clear again. “The bottom line is we have to look after these salmon,” Preissl said. “If we continue to do this, … they just stop coming to the

Proposed Expansion

Trial date set for Brian Bonney

SPONSORED CONTENT

Major Investment Includes New Vancouver Harbour Spill Response Base

Former Liberal operative being charged with breach of trust

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A trial date has been set for a former provincial Liberal staffer and Burnaby resident who is facing charges over the “ethnic vote scandal” before the last election. On Tuesday, the province’s Criminal Justice Branch (CJB), confirmed the trial dates for Brian Bonney, who is facing a charge of breach of trust. The trial is slated to begin Oct. 16, 2017 and includes dates through December of that year, with final submissions in late February of 2018. Bonney has elected to have a trial in provincial court.

The CJB also noted the dates were scheduled following a pre-trial conference with a senior judge and discussions between the special prosecutor and defence counsel, and took into account the amount of time required for trial preparation, the length of trial and the availability of the court and counsel. In May, the branch announced a special prosecutor approved a charge of breach of trust against Bonney. In a statement, the branch noted the new charge comes from the RCMP investigation into potential offences under the Election Act and offences arising out of the Draft Multicultural Strategic

Outreach Plan. The branch said over the course of the investigation, the special prosecutor received three separate reports to Crown counsel from the RCMP and after reviewing the entirety of the material, approved a further charge of breach of trust. At the time of the alleged offence, Bonney was the communications director for multiculturalism communications, government communications and public engagement,Vancouver. In 2014, Bonney and Mark Robertson, a Liberal party staffer, were charged with multiple counts of violating the Election Act, specifically the section relating to election financing, related to a 2012 byelection.The charg-

es include violating restrictions or limits on accepting or making a political contribution and three counts related to election expenses. The case remains before the courts. Bonney worked for the provincial government for more than a year, handling communications for the Ministry of Multiculturalism. He resigned following the so-called “ethnic vote scandal,” after a review, ordered by Premier Christy Clark, found he was doing partisan work for the Liberals on taxpayer time. In May, a company run by Bonney pleaded guilty to one count of making an unreported political contribution and was handed a $5,000 fine.

City CUPE workers get a new contract There will be labour peace at city hall with one union until the end of the decade. Last week, the city and CUPE Local 23 announced the terms of a new collective agreement that covers the next four years until the end of 2019. According to a press release from the city, the agreement will see union members receive a 1.5 per cent wage increase in each of the first two years, fol-

lowed by a two per cent increase in each of the last two years. CUPE Local 23 includes the inside, outside, foremen and library divisions of the city. “We are thrilled to announce that through concerted negotiations and respectful dialogue during the summer, we have achieved an agreement that will serve the city extremely well, while respecting the critically important roles that

marine safety regime with the fewest accidents despite experiencing the highest level of shipping activity in Canada.

Michael Davies, Senior Director of Marine Development, Kinder Morgan Canada

If the Trans Mountain Expansion Project proceeds, there will be an investment of more than $150 million in marine spill response benefiting all waterway users and the entire South Coast of BC. Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) announced this week it is moving forward with plans to build a new spill response base in Vancouver Harbour as part of the investment it will receive if our Project goes ahead.

This regime will be further strengthened through enhanced risk controls and spill response if the Project proceeds. Government researchers, academics and industry have undertaken detailed investigations into the properties and characteristics of dilbit, and found dilbit is no less safe to transport than other types of crude oil, and can be effectively responded to with the equipment and techniques currently available. More information can be found here: www.transmountain.com/ diluted-bitumen-info.

That said, Trans Mountain has been safely loading vessels for more than 60 years at our marine terminal without a single spill from a tanker. While the region’s existing safety regime already meets global standards, the new investment in spill response will further improve safety and provide additional protection for the South Coast of BC. @TransMtn

Businesses pitch in to help Burnaby man Shaun Balint needed money to cover the cost of life-saving supplements – and the community rallied Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

Businesses and people around the Lower Mainland have come together to support a Burnaby man who was forced to choose between paying for supplements that are keeping him alive and paying rent. Surrey-based Magnum Nutraceuticals heard about Shaun Balint’s story

I just thought, ‘What can I do to help?’ this week and donated $4,000 worth of supplements to his cause. Balint, a former bodybuilder, has lost 143 pounds in the last couple of years due to severe food allergies.To maintain his nutrition, doctors prescribed protein bars and shakes.

The supplements cost $795 a month, but the provincial government only covers $205. After a hospital visit, he and his wife Lara said they were told by staff not to worry about the cost, so the pair went out and spent their rent money on the protein supplements. They soon found out about the discrepancy in coverage and couldn’t make their August and September rent. “I just thought, ‘What can I do to help?’”Tino Damico, an employee at Magnum Nutraceuticals, told the NOW. He immediately called his boss Markus Kaulius, who was “very touched” by what Balint had been going through. “He said, ‘Great, email the staff and everyone, and get it going,’” Damico said. “I sent out a mass email, saying I’d like to donate my portion of supplements I’m allocated each month. Ev-

eryone responded quickly and said, ‘Absolutely, we’d love to do it.’” Kaulius has also decided to match all donations made by his employees to Balint’s GoFundMe page, which currently sits at more

than $4,000. Meanwhile, Brad Alderson, the owner of the Coquitlam and Burnaby Popeyes supplement stores, is collecting supplement donations for Balint, who also happens to be a Popeyes customer. “We’re going to just basically try and help them as much as we can,” he said, adding his store will even go as far as giving him the staff discount rate. The goodwill doesn’t stop there.The Balints also received help from an Abbotsford couple, who covered their missed rent payments. “They caught us up to where we’re now at zero going forward.That was amazing,” said Lara. “I thought, wow, you couldn’t ask for a sweeter thing.” She said the response from the community has been “overwhelming” and “very humbling.” “Thank you, thank you very much for all the help,” she said.

As for Balint, she said he’s had a tiring few days doing interviews but is resting up. The couple originally approached Kathy Corrigan, MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake, for help. Corrigan asked the government, on their behalf, if it could make an exception for Balint. The ministry’s response was that it was bound by legislation.

“The only suggestion we could give is to work with his doctors to see if there are cheaper alternatives and/ or seek out community resource support,” the government responded.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Three good news stories to start the year Perhaps it’s the child in all of us here at the local newspaper, but we always feel like the new year really begins with the first couple of weeks when everyone goes back to school. In fact, for the media, it is a bit like a fresh start. Government press releases start pouring in again. Politicians answer their phones – well, some of them do. Readers start emailing us about their burning issues. Citizen groups start revving up the

letters and Facebook comments. It gets our journalistic adrenaline pumping. This past week alone, we’ve been told that we should be doing many more good news items. And that included something about the new chimpanzee sanctuary. Never mind that it’s not in Burnaby – but, we’re told, if we were a real newspaper we would be covering this achievement. We’re game.We’ve always had a soft spot for chimps.

Apparently the first group of ‘retired’ chimps arrived last week at the Project Chimps Sanctuary in northern Georgia. It’s the first transfer of an eventual 220 chimps that are being moved from a research center in New Iberia, Louisiana. In fact, we think that’s something to raise a glass of suds to and cheer or make happy chimp-like sounds to in any case. And with that clumsy

segue we move to our second good news story of the first week of our new school year. Tucked in the voluminous stream of government emails this week was the gem that red tape is being cut on patio drinking. Establishments that have patios can now serve booze without having a liquor licence for the inside portion of the restaurant or pub. Yes, B.C. is truly becoming a much more civilized

province. Now, there are conditions, of course.The patio must comply with local zoning regs, and be affixed permanently to a structure. Sadly, no pop-up patios seem to be allowed in this change. Which brings us to our third good news story of the week. Donald Trump is ending his press ‘black list’. For those who missed it – and we understand why – Trump, the Republican

presidential candidate, had refused to let certain media organizations into his events. Coincidentally, those media organizations were the same ones that he believed had published critical stories on him. We’d like to believe that we would have been on that black-list if he cared about Canada. Alas, we will just have to settle for being on certain local politicians’ black lists.

MY VIEW JORDAN BATEMAN

Cities fail to grasp reality At a time when many B.C. taxpayers are struggling under the weight of their heavy tax burden, growing personal debt and an incredibly high cost of living, our locally elected officials are there to remind us all of how hopelessly out of touch they are. Yes, B.C.’s municipal and regional politicians are gathering for their annual, fiveday Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) conference inVictoria later this month and, as usual, the thrust seems to be spending taxpayer money, not finding ways to save it. The point of the UBCM gabfest is three-fold: for elected officials to party it up in fancy hospitality suites, for cities to demand more money from provincial cabinet ministers, and for local politicians to pass some policy resolutions. This year’s resolutions are light on ideas to save taxpayers money – but not on ways to claw more dollars out of people’s pockets. Duncan wants a cut of future marijuana taxes for cities. Sun Peaks wants an AirBnB tax. Williams Lake wants higher bylaw infraction fines. Penticton wants to tax vacant land at a higher rate than its zoning allows, while Terrace wants to do the same with brownfields. Langley City wants to split residential taxation into two classes, so it can charge townhouse and condo owners more. There are also dozens of motions that show councils still haven’t learned there’s

only one taxpayer.West Kelowna wants the Christy Clark government to waive the provincial sales tax on infrastructure projects. Sure, the city would save a few bucks, but taxpayers would be no further ahead, as the provincial treasury would be out that revenue. Someone always pays – the taxpayer. In that same vein, Harrison Hot Springs wants infrastructure projects funded 50 per cent by the federal government, 40 per cent by the provincial government, and 10 per cent by municipalities – moving seven percentage points from the city’s share to the province. But whatever level of government the money comes from, it’s still out of taxpayers’ pockets. Those wanting more bureaucracy will find many friends at UBCM. CowichanValley wants to ban plastic shopping bags, while Pitt Meadows is pushing a registry for dangerous dogs. Squamish wants the government to start a NorthVancouver-Prince George passenger rail service. North Vancouver City is hoping the province will run a cigarette butt deposit-return program. Powell River wants to set up its own solar power operation. Bizarrely, North Saanich, located a mere 16-hour drive (plus a ferry ride away) from the Site C dam, wants the project halted and reviewed. None of the cities near Site C submitted such a resolution. Continued on page 7

Plans for oil spill station are welcome

Streamkeeper sounds alarm about runoff

Dear Editor Re: Burnaby cleanup company proposing new oil spill station, Burnaby NOW online, Sept. 7. It is most welcome news that concrete plans have been completed for a new oil spill station in Vancouver Harbour. However, those many naysayers who flood the media with tides of misinformation will no doubt come up with more ridiculous complaints to try and block the progress of getting oil resources to tidewater and into the global marketplace. Having spent many semesters at the University of Life Experience, which includes decades of sailing to just about every corner of the globe while both working on many different types of deep-sea vessels including tankers, my wife and I have a few simple observations, as follows: Please note that oil is a Canadian resource, and Vancouver Harbour is a major Canadian port. We’ve heard fictitious stories about pipelines and tankers being the all-time riskiest mode of transportation; we’ve heard the absolute nonsense of how the Strait of Georgia will become too cluttered with excess tanker traffic; we’ve heard the fantasies about the B.C. coast having the most treacherous weather conditions imaginable. Alas, there’s not enough paper in the Burnaby NOW printing press to list all the untruths that the nattering nabobs of negativism have spread about tanker safety. The constant “drip, drip, drip” of mendacious fairy-tales, falsehoods and tarradiddles have become nothing short of totally ridiculous; especially ludicrous claims that a huge Exxon Valdez-type of oil spill is “inevitable.” A few political and environmental leaders – to use that “L” word loosely – will say just about anything to try and convince the masses that it’s their way or the highway. Up to now they have succeeded in brainwashing those who have become the most vocal; after all, we are talking about oil which is measured in barrels, and the old adage has never been more true: “Empty barrels make the most noise.” Thankfully, there is a silent majority who have long realized that there will be all kinds of alternative energy coming online in the years ahead, and the planet has to be treated kindly for survival, there is still a huge need for oil for the foreseeable future. Let’s not cut off our nose to spite our face in B.C. Bernie Smith, Parksville

Cities are out of touch Continued from page 6 View Royal deserves praise for offering one of the few cost-saving suggestions: calling on the federal government to reinstate the RCMP’s auxiliary officer program, which saved taxpayers money by allowing lower-paid auxiliaries to handle tasks such as crowd and traffic control. Penticton is also trying to control firefighter contracts costs by having arbitrators take into account local conditions. But these cost-saving measures are few and far between at local government’s annual party on the taxpayer dime. Jordan Bateman is the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Keith In my area I have seen a lot of silt and sand from construction sites end up down our storm drains. Rarely during house construction do they properly cover the storm drains and large quantities of sand, gravel and dirt end up down the drains and into our local streams that feed Burnaby Lake.

NDP hopefuls put their names forward bill smith Looks like Wang and Chen (NDP/BCA) are ready to remove their training wheels and jumping ship from city politics in favour of provincial... but I worry that they’ll be in for a rude awakening... unlike in city politics, they will not be able to spend 15 times more that the others, and in the unlikely event that they get elected, they will need to learn how to function with an elected administration and opposition.. plus, they’d be forced to work under scrutiny.

Save the PNE? Reader responds to Baldrey column peakie “sense of community”!!? It is no longer important as the 35 agricultural fairs spread around our province. It is a concrete blight on the west-sideof-Burnaby, east-side-of-Vancouver where there used to be meadows, a golf course and streams running through it to New Brighton park. New Brighton Park is the only place to get to the Burrard Inlet in North Burnaby, and freeways, and the PNE are a real barrier for walkers, strollers and even car drivers to get to the waterfront. Let it go out to Surrey and be part of the Cloverdale Fairgrounds all year around.

Two New Democrats want to dethrone Liberal MLA Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Two familiar faces are interested in running for the NDP in Burnaby North, a riding that’s been held by the Liberals since 2001. Janet Routledge, a provincial candidate is putting her name forward, as is James Wang, a city councillor and member of the Burnaby Citizens Association. “Yes, I have expressed interest in Burnaby North,” Routledge said. By Tuesday, Routledge had been cleared by NDP headquarters and given the go-ahead to put her name forward, while Wang was still undergoing the vetting process. Liberal Richard Lee won the riding in 2001 and has held onto it ever since. Routledge is retired, but she used to work as direc-

tor of political action with the B.C. Federation of Labour, mobilizing support for labour-friendly election candidates. Routledge ran against Lee in the 2013 election but lost by 668 votes. “I think he’s held onto it for a long time, but the elections have always been really close,” Routledge said. “The NDP knows, the Liberals know, this is a riding that can go either way, so it’s really important we fight hard for it, and we intend to.” Wang still has to be vetted by the party before he can officially put his name forward.The NDP’s Burnaby North riding association nomination meeting is set for Oct. 16. Wang was first elected as a Burnaby school trustee in 2008, which made him the first immigrant from main-

land China to be elected to public office in Canada, according to the city’s website.Wang works fulltime as a city councillor, and he has studied architecture in China. “I don’t think the current Liberal MLA has represented his constituency very well,”Wang said. “I’ve heard from the community; I think they want a change.” The Liberals already announced Lee as their acclaimed candidate in June. Prior to politics, Lee worked as a programmer analyst at TRIUMF, Canada’s particle and nuclear physics lab at UBC. In spring 2015, Lee was the target of a failed recall campaign led by the B.C. Citizens for Recall. The next provincial election is set for Tuesday, May 9, 2017.

Burnaby company plans new oil spill station Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby-based oil spill response company is planning a new base in Vancouver in case the federal government approves the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. Western Canada Marine Response Corporation, for-

merly known as Burrard Clean, wants to build a new water base in East Vancouver, close to New Brighton Park. “We just announced we have a location for the base if the project goes ahead,” said Michael Lowry, spokesperson for WCMRC. The new base would cut down response time but

will only go ahead if Kinder Morgan’s new line is built, and the federal government will announce that in December. When asked why WCMRC would move ahead with a new base, given the pipeline expansion is still under review, Lowry said they need to be prepared. “We want to get to the

point that if it does go ahead, we’re ready to go ahead right away,” Lowry said. “We have a very narrow window to get all this stuff done.” WCMRC is funded by oil companies and other shippers and is responsible for cleaning up spills on the entire West Coast of B.C. The corporation is based in Burnaby, at the old Shell refinery site on the Burrard Inlet.The new Vancouver base would be in addition to the Burnaby one, not a replacement. “We’re still obviously going to have a presence here. We’re just getting that onwater hold we haven’t had that we’ve been looking for,” Lowry said. WCMRC’s average spill response time for Lower Mainland oil spills is one hour. Lowry said crews will be mobilized and on the boats in 10 to 15 minutes and that the Vancouver base will be staffed 24/7. If the Kinder Morgan pipeline is approved,WCMRC will start construction on the new base in early 2017 and it should be operating by 2018. The new Vancouver base

What’s included in the $200-million plan? Five new response bases, with approximately 115 new employees and approximately 26 new vessels at strategic locations along B.C.’s southern shipping lane.

24/7 operations at three of the new bases, including the proposed base in Vancouver Harbour. WCMRC is on call 24/7, but does not have crews operating 24/7.

The new Vancouver base, at 2800 Commissioner St., would include new docks, an office for response crews, two large barges, rapid response vessels, mobile skimmers,

is part of a larger $200 million-plan to beef up oil spill response capacity, which should cut response times in half on B.C.’s South Coast. The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority must first approve the base, which is why WCMRC made the announcement, as the information would have been made public through the consultation process. WCMRC is funded by more than 2,200 members who must pay fees to

ship in West Coast waters. The funding comes from the oil handling facilities on the Burrard Inlet (Shell, Suncor, Chevron, Imperial Oil and Kinder Morgan) and other shippers.The oil handling facilities make up roughly 70 per cent of the corporation’s funding, while the other shippers represent 30 per cent.

Our students made this building possible!

Thanks to Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS), our students voted and gave

the thumbs up to build a brand new Student Union Building (SUB). This commitment of $55 million is an epic gesture, and one that’s going to impact students for years to come. With over 100K square feet of space devoted to studying, unwinding and connecting, all students are going to find their time at Burnaby’s campus pretty sweet. From study and club space to a community kitchen, there’s going to be endless possibilities to create awesome memories at SFU in a state of the art building. (Good luck keeping the administration out of the napping room!) A big thanks to the engaged student leadership who made this happen, and a shout-out to everyone involved in the collaboration with the university. You’ll want to check out the new home of SFSS programs and services in the fall of 2018.

Kristin Schnider Position DPAC CHAIR Why is she in the news?

As a new school year kicks into gear, parents around the district are sizing up volunteer opportunities at their kids’ schools. Kristin Schnider, the new chair of Burnaby’s district parent advisory council (DPAC), says everyone can contribute, and parent involvement is good for

Why and when did you get involved in parent councils? I strongly believe in supporting and participating in my child’s education. My parents are both educators, so I grew up with that sort of instilled in me, and I know first-hand the value of having your parents involved in your education and what they can bring to the table. What are DPAC’s goals this year? Because of the revised curriculum, we’re hoping to provide Burnaby parents with a better understanding of the redesigned curriculum and we’re looking to a number of speakers and resources that will help explain the reasons for the new curriculum and answer parent questions on how it will change and, moreover, what that’s going to look like in Burnaby classrooms. What about parents who value traditional education and who are afraid that’s going to fall by the wayside? We’re hoping to support (the education ministry and school district) as a DPAC

kids. In a recent interview, Schnider talked to the NOW about the coming school year, the “new” curriculum, diversity in Burnaby and battling Christina Applegate’s Bad Moms PTA stereotype. – Cornelia Naylor

to show people that it’s not really throwing out everything we’ve already done, and it’s not about ‘throw out every textbook you’ve ever seen and we’re doing it this new way.’ It’s doing it in a way that, yes, they’re still doing the reading, writing and arithmetic, and they’re still going to do assessment in a way that works for postsecondary, but in a way that connects them to the real world and to the skills that they’re going to need for their careers and for going further academically. Why should parents get involved at their kids’ schools? I wholeheartedly believe the job of education for your child doesn’t rest with teachers. It’s a joint collaboration between parents and educators and the students themselves. I think it’s important to know what’s going on in your school and to help out where you’re able, and I know research has shown that, and it’s not just this, but one thing I kind of keep in the back of my mind and I know first-hand is that when parents are involved, kids do better. Why are school parent advisory councils (PACs) important? PACs give an opportunity for parents to provide input at the school level.

They provide a conduit for communication between the school and its families. PACs also contribute to a school’s sense of community, which extends well beyond the classroom door. Without that connectivity that you see through PACs, there’d be a lot of disconnect, I think, with, the bell rings at three, kids go home. There isn’t that ongoing activity and that buzz that you get from PACs, be it appreciation nights or community events. Are parents involved enough in PACs? I think that there are some barriers, and I don’t necessarily see them as barriers, per se. It’s just misconceptions that prevent people from getting involved and those with misconceptions about what a PAC really is and understanding what the time commitment for PAC involves. People think, especially with Bad Moms and Christina Applegate’s cari-

cature, that PACs are these stereotypes of ex-corporate executives, controlling stay-at-home-moms, PAC cliques.That’s more a myth than reality. PACs are really a group of parents and guardians with diverse skill sets, experience and knowledge who are all working together for their kids.

They’re very welcoming to parents’ input

How do you try to overcome those barriers? A lot of it is just trying to be as inclusive as possible. … There’s always an opportunity for a parent to give back to the school.They may not realize it, but every parent has a gift to give to the school, and it’s finding that opportunity to do it and realize that you don’t

have to show up at the PAC meeting to be part of the ‘PAC’ – PAC is all parents. And DPAC, why is it important? Whereas PAC is like the micro level of parent involvement at the school, DPAC is the district level and that’s where you’re going to see what’s going on across the district as a whole and things that are happening across the province with regard to public education. Through DPAC reps, you get this information and there’s that channel where you can either go up or down to the PAC and convey that information or also get the questions from the school themselves and bring them up to the DPAC executives so they can get some answers and say, ‘Well, what’s going on with assessments? What’s happening with the redesigned curriculum? What does this mean for my school?’Yes, that happens with the school ad-

ministrator, but you can also get it from a parent lens to go up and see. It creates an open dialogue about what’s happening across the district, and there’s strength in having parents work together. Burnaby’s DPAC seems to have a good relationship with the school district executive. Yes.We’re really fortunate to have such a welcoming and open senior executive and board of education. They’re very welcoming to parents’ input and they take us seriously.They hear our concerns and it doesn’t feel like lip service. Anything else to add? I’m really excited about the coming year; I know the rest of the DPAC executive is as well. I think it’ll be a great year with lots of opportunity.

Support the Parkinson’s society this weekend By Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

When Debbie Poole attended her first Parkinson’s support meeting in Burnaby last summer, her symptoms had worsened. It had been six years since she had been diagnosed with the incurable neurodegenerative disease, which started with a tremor in her right hand. “It didn’t sink in at that point,” Poole, 62, told the NOW. By June 2015, walking had become so difficult that the now-retired librarian had to use a wheelchair. Her voice, meanwhile, was soft. Sometimes she was unable to verbally communicate her needs to family members, according to her brother Don Chunn. Fast-forward a year and the situation is a lot different. Poole no longer relies on a wheelchair and uses

a walker instead, thanks to mobility classes she’s attended through the Confederation Seniors Association’s Parkinson’s support group (the folks who started the SuperWalk in Burnaby five years ago). She’s also become more aware of her quiet demeanor through singing. At the end of each session, the group breaks out into song to exercise the vocal chords. On Sept. 12, she’ll be taking part in the SuperWalk for the second year in a row, walking some 400 metres around the track at Confederation Park. “It’s not the end of the world if you have Parkinson’s,” said Poole, adding she’s still able to do everyday tasks like cooking and knitting, and she doesn’t feel as alone because she’s been able to talk to people who are going through similar experiences. “Don’t just sit at home. Learn about it,

get out and do the things you like to do.” Her reasons for participating in the walk are twofold.

It’s not the end of the world if you have Parkinson’s She said because the SuperWalk is the Parkinson Society of B.C.’s biggest fundraiser of the year, every dollar counts. It’s also a good opportunity to educate people about Parkinson’s disease and come together as a group. Last year, the Burnaby SuperWalk raised $6,118, up $1,500 from the year before, according to the society’s Alicia Wrobel, the marketing, communications and events manager. Across

the country, the hope is to raise $440,000 this year. “We don’t get any money from government.We rely entirely on donations,” she said, adding SuperWalk registration has been increasing over the years. Wrobel noted 13,300 British Columbians have Parkinson’s disease and that number will rise in the future as the baby boomer population ages. “Incidents of Parkinson’s is supposed to increase 65 per cent by 2031 across Canada,” she said, adding attending support groups, taking medication and getting exercise alleviate depression and symptoms. Burnaby’s SuperWalk is on Sept. 12 at 4585 Albert St. Registration starts at 1:30 p.m., and the walk begins at 2 p.m. Mayor Derek Corrigan will be on hand for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. For info call 604-298-2983.

Enjoy some family fun in the great outdoors Julie MacLellan FAMILY TIES

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Wow, how have we reached the end of summer already? With September underway and Labour Day behind us, now seems like the perfect time to look around the city and find a new season of activities for parents of littles. Here’s a few ideas we tracked down for you and your small people so that everyone can stay busy and active this fall and beyond: EXPLORE THE GREAT OUTDOORS Is your child into nature? Check out some fun programs at Burnaby Lake Nature House. On Saturday, Sept. 24, you can enjoy Nuts About Squirrels; on Sunday, Oct. 2, you can take part in Eensy,Weensy Spiders. Both programs are for three- to five-year-olds. See www. burnaby.ca/outdorrrec or

call 604-294-7224. DROP-IN GYM FUN If you’re the kind of parent who finds it hard to get organized enough to register for a class (like me), then never fear – Burnaby’s rec facilities offer plenty of drop-in fun for the small folks. The new fall-winter season schedule is out in Burnaby’s latest Leisure Guide, and the new season kicks off Sept. 17. Bonsor offers Loonie Gymnastics and Tiny Tikes, both for one- to fiveyear-olds. Gymnastics runs Mondays from 6 to 7 p.m. and Wednesdays from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.Tiny Tikes is on Thursdays and Saturdays from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. Edmonds has Tiny Tikes, for one- to five-year-olds, running Wednesdays and Fridays from 6 to 7 p.m. Cameron offers Buck A Roo Family Fun, for 10-month-olds to five-yearolds, running Mondays from 5:45 to 6:45 p.m.

Check out Burnaby’s Leisure Guide for all the scheduling details, as programs may be closed on certain holidays. Note that some programs can get full, so arriving early is often a good idea. LEAVE THE KIDS WITH SOMEONE ELSE Good news – you can stay fit and let someone else worry about the kids for awhile. Some Burnaby rec centres offer on-site childminding for kids from newborn to age five – so that you can take part in a workout, a swim or an on-site class and leave the kids in a safe, fun place. It’s offered mornings at Bonsor (604-297-4597) from Monday through Saturday (closed on long weekends), mornings at Ed-

monds Community Centre (604-297-4838) from Monday to Friday, and mornings at Eileen Dailly (604298-7946) from Monday to Thursday. Check out the city’s Leisure Guide for all the details or see www. burnaby.ca.

Communitynow Odd Squad kids raise money for teen with cancer By Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

A local fundraiser brought in nearly $1,000 for a Tri-Cities teen with Stage 4 cancer. About 80 people showed up for the screening of Odd Squad at Cineplex Silver City at Metrotown in July. The event sought to raise money for Alexandra Py-

lypchuk, a 15-year-old who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma last August when doctors found a tumor in her right shoulder. It eventually spread down to her arm, elbow, wrist, hip, spine and lungs. Since then, the teen has had approximately 18 rounds of chemo and more than nine months of radiation.

The movie gathering in Burnaby saw Pylypchuk meet the Odd Squad child actors. She had an opportunity to sit at the table with the kids and hand out ribbons and raffle tickets while a couple of musicians played a few tunes. The raffle’s grand prize was lunch with Pylypchuk and the cast.The winner

was a young mother who was also a recent cancer survivor. She and her six-year-old son “immediately bonded” with Pylypchuk, according to event organizers. The money raised – $936 – will go to the teenager’s family to help deal with cancer-related debt.

Businesses that Burnaby North Road BIA

“I

love this area,” says Carolyn Orazietti, Executive Director of the Burnaby North Road Business Improvement Association (BIA). “I started off years ago at the Downtown Vancouver BIA, back in the day when people still hadn’t heard of BIA’s. Now they’re everywhere. BIA’s are a great vehicle for keeping an area vibrant by promoting it and by making improvements in the areas of beautification, safety & security and marketing. This is a great area, full of authenticity. “We work closely and cooperatively with Burnaby City Hall and the RCMP to keep our area safe, attractive and inviting for shoppers,” Carolyn adds. “We are always relaying up-to-the-minute security tips to businesses in order to keep our area as crime-free as possible, and we promote the many attributes of the area – giving people reasons to come and shop at our array of local businesses.” One of the highlights of visiting the Burnaby North Road BIA is the Korean shopping area and its amazing restaurants. “We have the largest Korean shopping district in the Lower Mainland,” Carolyn says. “Just south of Lougheed highway along North Road we have an authentic Korean area with shops, businesses, and

award-winning restaurants.” Each year the Burnaby North Road BIA celebrates Korean Community Day. In 2016, it will be held on Saturday, September 10 and Carolyn encourages people to come down and check out all the activities. “We’ll have the Korean Women’s Drumming Group, a K-Pop contest, art walk, and a children’s section with minigolf and a bouncy castle,” she says. “And of course there will be delicious Korean food! It’s a real fun-filled family day and an event not to be missed.” To learn more about the Korean Community Day event and the Burnaby North Road BIA, call 604-4202799, check out the website at http:// burnabynorthroadbia.ca, email carolyn@ burnabynorthroadbia.ca, or visit the office at 303-9440 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby.

Veritas Has it All: Location, Views, Amenities Polygon’s newest community on Burnaby Mountain, Veritas is a contemporary collection of homes with two-beds starting at just $389,000

urnaby Mountain is one of the most desirable communities in the city. Atop this green hillside is the masterplanned community of UniverCity, where residents at Polygon’s newest community at SFU – Veritas – will call home. “Our first building sold out quickly since we opened at the end of May,” says Sandra Bua, sales manager at Veritas. “Most of our home buyers in this first building work or study at SFU but we’re also seeing interest from investors.” Located beside one of Canada’s top universities, Simon Fraser University, UniverCity has been hailed as a model of sustain-

ability. On top of the mountain and beside a protected forest, Veritas will also feature ocean, mountain and cityscape views. Designed by Raymond Letkeman Architects Inc., the exterior is an ode to the West Coast, thanks to large roof overhangs, wood detailing and extensive brick facades. “Between the buildings there is a large, fully landscaped central courtyard with a pathway for residents to enjoy,” says Bua. Veritas is a collection of 158 homes, ranging from studios to two-bedroomplus-dens, with two-bedroom homes starting at $389,900. Each open-concept contemporary residence, ranging up to almost 1,000 square feet, features laminate wood floors, and a sleek stainless-steel appliance package. The top-level loft plans feature soaring ceilings and beautiful views, while all other homes boast private outdoor space with either a balcony or patio. The airy kitchens come equipped with laminate white or wood grain cabinets that include corner cupboards with

rotating shelves (in most homes) to keep everything within easy reach, engineered stone countertops with full-height glass tile backsplash and a breakfast bar (most homes). Meanwhile, UniverCity is a dense, walkable community that provides everything that suburbanites need, including easy access to four major bus routes and SkyTrain’s Millennium Line located at the foot of the hill. Veritas is a short walk from University High Street, which is home to a full range of shops and services, including coffee shops, a grocery store, a bank, two restaurants, an organic deli, a pharmacy and the SFU Pocket Farmers’ Market. Parents with young children will appreciate that an elementary school, childcare centre and parks are all within walking distance. “The other benefits of UniverCity is its proximity to great hiking trails and access to so much culture, all the while feeling like you are away from the urban rush,” Bua adds. “This community is

steeped in culture from one of Canada’s best universities.” Because of its desirability, UniverCity is attracting everyone from the university student to the first-time buyer, investors to the professional couple and young couples with children. Veritas comes to you from Polygon, a well-respected developer with more than three decades of experience and more than 26,000 homes throughout the Lower Mainland.Since 1980, Polygon has built its reputation for innovative design combined with outstanding quality. Purchasers at the sold-out Veritas I will start moving in in late 2016, while move-ins for Veritas II are scheduled for summer 2017 – just in time for the fall 2017 school year. The sales centre, located at 8999 Cornerstone Mews, Burnaby, is open from noon to 6pm daily (except Fridays). For more information, call 604-298-9965, email veritas@polygonhomes.com or visit www.polyhomes.com/community/ veritas.
