U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

We’re ‘With Her’ in Burnaby vote

AVietnam vet from San Francisco dropped by to cast a vote for Trump By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

You could just give Hillary Clinton the presidency, well, if Burnaby residents could actually take part in the U.S. election. After nearly two months, and with just days left before the real thing, a poll in front of Jennifer April’s Burnaby home shows this part of Canada is clearly With Her. The unscientific poll has Clinton ahead of Republican nominee Donald Trump by about a five-tothree margin, with more than 300 votes cast, which likely isn’t a November surprise to many. “People are still voting,” April told the NOW. “Daytime, nighttime, I think a lot of people come at nighttime because they don’t want their ballot to be seen, who they’re voting for.” April, who is American, was on a trip to her native Delaware with her Canadian husband in late August when they got the idea for the mock ballot and picked up some election signs along the way. CLINTON FOR THE WIN: Burnaby residents Jennifer April, who is American, and her Canadian husband Michael Matich have been collecting mock votes in front The NOW featured the couple’s of their house for the U.S. election. With just days left before the big day, Democrat Hillary Clinton is well ahead of Republican Donald Trump. FILE PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR Continued on page 4

Experts want independent health impact report By Tereza Verenca

The federal government must conduct an independent review of the health impacts of the proposed

long-term health risks of the $6.8-billion project. If the proposed expansion is approved by the Liberal cabinet, pipeline capacity would increase from 300,000 barrels of oil per

day to 890,000, while tanker traffic in the Salish Sea would grow from five tankers a month to 35.The report outlines concerns should there be a spill in the Burrard Inlet or a fire at the

Newsnow A CLOSER LOOK

Hopes and dreams grow here MillersWay offers people a chance to heal and chart a new course By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

For Wendy Boyd, gardening is more than just a hobby and an opportunity to get her hands a little dirty. It’s a pastime that allows her to keep her mental health issues at bay, including depression, anxiety and schizophrenia. “It’s very therapeutic. When I’m watering the plants, I wash away my anxiety. I also talk to the plants. Too bad they can’t answer,” Boyd told the NOW from the kitchen table at Millers Way, a 10-bedroom duplex that provides long-term, 24/7 care to adults with mental health problems. Facilities like Millers Way residents identify goals – like becoming more independent and holding employment opportunities – and work towards them. Funded by Fraser Health, Millers Way is one of seven programs under the Pioneer Community Living Association (PCLA). Referrals are done through Burnaby Mental Health Services. SEEING, HEARING, FEELING THINGS Boyd, 59, was diagnosed with schizophrenia in her early 20s. She had been in Hawaii at an Elvis tribute concert when the room started to spin. A similar episode happened shortly after, prompting a visit to the doctor. Not shy about her disorder, she said over the years she has seen, heard and felt a variety of things. At one point, she thought people had computer chips in their heads. “Their foreheads were big,” recalled Boyd. Another time she saw children dying around her, an experience she called “terrifying” and one that “just took over.”Twice it happened while she was riding the bus. While medication has helped her condition, Boyd still hears voices from “the other person” every few days. “It’s not a nice person, the other person. It says cruel things about people. I talked to my psychiatrist

about it. He said, ‘It’s not you thinking it, it’s not you saying those things.’ He had to reassure me because I’m not that kind of person, to be that cruel to people,” she said. A GARDEN OF LOVE Last summer, staff suggested starting up a garden in the backyard. Boyd, who’s lived at Millers Way since 2009, jumped on the idea and took it on as her passion project. Besides tending to the garden, Boyd uses the produce – lettuce, beans, tomatoes, squash, parsley, chives, cucumbers, zucchini and rhubarb – to make meals and salads for her fellow residents. “There is a growing body of evidence which supports the theory that a garden program – growing and caring for plants, spending time with others, being active outdoors and sharing healthy harvested produce – can contribute to a positive mental health outcome,” said recreation therapist Michelle Goodwin. She added the garden, which doubled in size this past summer thanks to a Canadian Mental Health Association enabling fund, has alleviated Boyd’s stress

It’s very therapeutic.

levels and has given her more self-esteem. With the arrival of cooler temperatures, Boyd has already begun planning next year’s harvest.The goal for 2017 is to sell any unused produce to the “sister” houses of PCLA. “That would be kind of cool,” she said. The garden program is part of a larger network of psychological-social offerings at the facility. Cleaning and meal duties are divvied up amongst the 10 residents and are done on a rotating schedule.When it comes to outings, they (not so much staff) get to choose the destination at regular resident

Basically they tell me what they’d like to do and we do it,” said Goodwin. “We design specific activities to help them overcome their illnesses and support their social and recreational pursuits.” A FAMILY-LIKE ENVIRONMENT According to Debbie Reid, manager of care at Millers Way and a psychiatric nurse of 34 years, more homes like it are needed. She said there can be a waitlist to get in, with an average stay of about five years at the home. “Some have been here much longer, it just depends,” she told the NOW, noting the longest someone has lived at Millers Way is 11 years. Speaking through tears, she said she has seen so much recovery and wellness within the program.

“It’s about their hopes and dreams.We work with them.The residents will tell you it is like a close-knit, family-type environment.” She added staff have had a great success rate with those who have come

through the doors. Many of the “graduated” residents come back to say hello or to have lunch. “Success to me is not how quickly we can move them through this program and get them living inde-

pendently.Their recovery plan is a focus on their individuality and is tailored to their hopes and dreams. Our success is their success,” Reid said.

Burnaby man dead after Vancouver stabbing Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

An altercation in downtown Vancouver has claimed the life of a Burnaby resident. The incident happened the morning after Halloween when a group of men got into a fight near a taxi stand at the Plaza of Nations, according to Vancou-

ver police. When officers arrived just after 2:30 a.m., they found two men in their 20s with serious stab wounds. Both men were rushed to hospital in critical condition. One of them, a 25-yearold Burnaby resident, died from his injuries. He has not been identified. Police said a third victim showed up at Burnaby Hos-

pital a few hours after the incident, also suffering from stab wounds. Investigators believe the man is involved in the incident at the Plaza of Nations. He was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The Vancouver Police Department noted several witnesses and persons-of-inter-

est were taken into custody to be interviewed. However,Vancouver police spokesperson Const. Brian Montague said the witnesses were being “very uncooperative.” “It gives you an idea of the individuals we’re dealing with,” he told the media on Tuesday, adding it’s not clear how the entire incident transpired. “We’re hoping

cooperative witnesses will come forward.” While a club and casino are both in the area of the stabbing, police are not sure if the two groups came from the same location. The department also said investigators continue to gather evidence and any potential video from nearby businesses in an attempt to determine the motive for

the attack and to identify potential suspects. Anyone with information about this stabbing and murder is asked to call the Vancouver Police Department’s major crime section at 604-717-2500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Ballots cast: More than 300 people have stopped by to vote in Jennifer April and Michael Matich’s mock U.S. election poll set up on their lawn.

PHOTO NOW FILES

Clinton ahead in Burnaby ‘poll’ Continued from page 1 effort in September. What started out as a bit of a joke has grown into something the couple never expected. Besides their story being picked up by other media outlets, including the Washington Post, it’s also supplied April with a bushel of stories for years to come. She said people from all over the region have stopped by to vote. In some cases, she’s had the opportunity to chat, other times she lets people quietly exercise their franchise. But one exchange stood out in particular. One day, April got a knock on the door from a Vietnam vet from San Francisco. His mother lived in the area and had a copy of the NOW story. “He was proud, he knocked on my door, and said ‘I just want to tell you I came all the way from San Francisco to cast my ballot,’ and he voted for Trump,” she said. “Wow, you came all the way from San Francisco?” The mock vote also provides April with a little bit of insight in the minds of voters, at least in Canada. She suggested it’s mostly women voting for Clinton.

Meanwhile, 14 votes for Harambe, the gorilla killed at the Cincinnati zoo earlier this year, might be a sign of what some people think of both candidates.That was the intention all along, April said. “We truly cared about what Canadians feel, because we know that it’s like a roller coaster. It’s (the election) going to impact up here in Canada no matter what,” she said. And despite the contentiousness of the election south of the border, the political signs and ballot boards have remained intact throughout the campaign. The plan is to keep the ballot up right until the big vote Tuesday, and keep the winner’s sign up afterwards. Meanwhile, April had a chance recently to vote for real. Undecided when the NOW caught up with her in September, she made up her mind. And while she played coy about her choice, she said she was wearing a Clinton wig on Halloween. “It’s getting closer and closer and I’m really watching this election,” she said. On election night, April and her husband intend to watch the results at a private party in Vancouver.

School board calls on minister to hold a byelection for VSB By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school board was among the early voices calling on the provincial government to replace Vancouver trustees fired by Education Minister Mike Bernier on Oct. 17. The board passed a motion at its Oct. 24 public meeting, calling on the province to hold a byelection to replace the Vancouver trustees as soon as possible. “We strongly urge you to ensure that the residents of Vancouver have a voice in the governance of their school district,” stated an Oct. 31 letter from the board to Bernier. The B.C. School Trustees Association, the provincial trustee body, wrote its own letter to the minister last week, calling for byelections as soon as possible in both the Vancouver and North Okanagan-Shuswap school districts. (The latter board was fired in June and, like the Vancouver board, replaced by a single, government-appointed trustee.) “The very foundation of our democracy is a belief that citizens are best represented by elected officials who can represent the needs, desires, and goals of their local community,” stated the Nov. 1 BCSTA letter. The Vancouver board missed the June 30 ministry deadline for passing a balanced budget and was fired on the day it was poised to finally pass one. “In terms of firing a board, it’s a big step,” Burn-

aby school board chair Ron Burton told the NOW, “and it just seemed bizarre that they fired them the day they were going to pass a balanced budget. If they were going to do it, they should have done it in June, and then our position is that you should have an elected board to represent the community.”

Ron Burton

A special report on the Vancouver school board by former deputy finance minister Peter Milburn released last Friday outlined problems with stability, financial management and governance at the board. One problem, according to Milburn, was that some of the former Vancouver trustees saw their role as one of advocacy instead of stewardship. “The primary role of school boards is to make the fundamental choices necessary to reflect the education priorities of the region within the funding envelope set by the provincial government,” states the report. “Managing such budg-

et constraints is the cornerstone of corporate stewardship.” Burton, however, said he sees the role of a trustee as more of a balancing act. “It’s a fine line,” he said. “I think stewardship is what you’re elected for and advocacy as well.You have to walk a fine line.You have a job you have to do and part of it is to pass a balanced budget. I guess, in the Vancouver situation, they decided that they’ve gone far enough.They couldn’t do any more.” In a discussion about how municipal politics may have played into the divisions among Vancouver trustees, Milburn cited some “school districts in similar jurisdictions” elected on party slates that have carried out their appropriate stewardship responsibilities. The Burnaby board, made up entirely of members of the Burnaby Citizens Association, a municipal wing of the provincial NDP, passed a balanced budget in June. “We take the government to task when we feel it should be taken to task,” Burton said. “I mean, underfunding is chronic and it wasn’t that much better, in all honesty, with the NDP, … so you’ve just got to do what you can to mitigate the damage to education. It is a lot more prevalent under this government than it has been in the past. All we always ask for is just, be honest. If you’re going to cut, say you’re going to cut. Don’t do the smoke and mirrors show.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Stewards or advocates, or a combo? The Burnaby school board is urging the education minister to hold a byelection as soon as possible to replace the Vancouver school soard trustees it fired and replaced with a public administrator. The Vancouver school board was in a big mess as several senior staff were off on stress sick leave and complaining of bullying. It was about to pass a balanced budget several months late, when the

minister acted. Burnaby has not been shy about criticizing what it perceives to be a lack of adequate funding in the school system. But, so far, it has always managed to pass a balanced budget and meet ministry guidelines And, as Ron Burton says in our page five story, the NDP in the past has also come under fire for inadequately funding the school system.

It can be a very thin line between being an advocate or a steward for education. In Peter Milburn’s “Forensic Audit of Board Expenses and Review of the Vancouver School Board” report released last week, he writes: “There is an inherent conflict in the outlook of an ‘advocate’ versus a ‘steward; advocacy is most successful when it can be demonstrated that more funding is required to successfully pro-

vide any defined program. On the other hand, stewardship involves the appropriate oversight, planning, and management of the available resources to successfully achieve the entity’s strategic goals. However, the more successfully the resources available are managed, the harder it is for advocates to demonstrate that more funding is required.” Some might call this a “chicken and egg” quan-

dary. If school boards did receive what they consider truly adequate funding, would they continue to be “advocates” rather than “stewards.” And if school trustees are elected based on their party affiliation eg: NDP or Liberal, with a baked-in position on education funding, how can they not call themselves partisan advocates? Milburn writes, “There are examples of school districts in similar juris-

dictions where trustees elected on a party slate successfully carried out their appropriate … responsibilities. It would appear that the most important determinant of success is the will of the trustees to work together.” We’d like to think he’s referring to Burnaby. Only time will tell. COMMENT ON THIS AT

MY VIEW TRISH GARNER

Social safety net is very broken If the government were listening to British Columbians, it would have heard that families are struggling to make ends meet with rising housing costs, child-care fees, MSP premiums, hydro rates and food costs.The cry of unaffordability is thick in the air, and it’s the symptom of a very broken social safety net taken from under our feet. They would have heard that more than 1,000 people in the highest ever homeless count inVancouver this year are new to homelessness. Tent cities throughout the province are signs of a housing crisis in all communities in B.C. Affordable housing is out of reach to so many. But the government hasn’t listened for years. Every fall, the select standing committee on finance and government services holds provincewide public consultations on what people think should be included in the next provincial budget. And every fall, community groups of every stripe dutifully present or write to the committee. But this year, we won’t be participating. Not because we don’t need a provincial poverty reduction plan any more. Far from it. Rather, our reluctance comes from the fact that a chorus of voices has been making this call and it continues to fall on deaf ears – not on the part of the committee, but rather the government. In fact, a bi-partisan committee has recommended a provincial poverty reduction plan for the last three years.

And the Union of B.C. Municipalities has unanimously passed resolutions in support of this call since 2009, expressing a strong collective call from local governments for provincial action. As Einstein said, “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” So let’s shake it up this year. If the government were listening, they would have heard that people with disabilities really need their bus passes. Faced with an untenable choice, giving up the bus pass for a little more to buy food becomes the only option, and cuts off people with disabilities from community life. They would have heard that people participating in theWelfare Food Challenge lived on only $18 for food for the week because the average rent of a room in the Downtown Eastside with no bathroom or kitchen is now over $500, and the welfare rate of $610 has not been increased since 2007. They would have heard that half the people living in poverty in B.C. have a job, or two, or three. In MetroVancouver, just over 100,000 working people are poor. Not surprising given that the minimum wage is about half the living wage, which reflects the actual cost of living.Work should lift you out of poverty, but it doesn’t for so many in our province. If the government were listening, they would have Continued on page 7

Family heirloom stolen

A necklace stolen from a duplex near Boundary Road and Kingsway January was supposed to have been handed down from a dying mother to her four-year-old daughter.The gold guilder-coin necklace belonged to 28-yearold Marion Essex. It had been passed through the family since it was given to her grandfather in Holland years before. Essex’s sister Alida Fieldhouse said Essex didn’t care about the many other items stolen but implored the thieves to return the special necklace.

If the government were listening … Continued from page 6 heard that B.C. has one of the highest poverty rates in Canada, with one in five children living in poverty.Yet B.C. is the only province without a poverty reduction plan. They would have heard that other places are saving lives and money with poverty reduction plans. Newfoundland and Labrador reduced food insecurity by 50 per cent by raising welfare rates. Quebec provides universal child care.With provincial funding, Medicine Hat, Alta. has ended homelessness in their city by building homes. They would have heard that poverty is bad for all of us.

School security ‘on the top of our agenda’ Burnaby school district reviews its emergency response protocol after fatal stabbing in Abbotsford school

With a recently updated emergency response protocol, the Burnaby school district is confident it is well prepared to deal with emergencies at local schools after a random stabbing at an Abbotsford high school left a 13-year-old girl dead and a 14-year-old girl wounded. “It’s something that’s on the top of our agenda at all times and we review it regu-

larly,” said assistant superintendent Roberto Bombelli of the district’s emergency plans. While the plan deals with a variety emergencies, Bombelli said he wasn’t sure he could answer specific questions around how a local school would deal with an incident like the one that happened at Abbotsford Secondary School. On Tuesday, a man with no apparent connection to the school walked in. By

“We know there might be some anxiety around the incident,” Bombelli said. The district also advised administrators to review its emergency response protocol. “It deals with intruder alerts, weapons, etc.,” Bombelli said. While he said the district is well poised to deal with emergencies – having just updated its Emergency Preparedness Policy and Emergency Response Protocol at

Researchers call for peer-reviewed health study

Continued from page 1 Those emissions also exacerbate asthmas,” said Tim Takaro, one of the authors of the report and a health sciences professor at SFU. Dizziness, drowsiness, rapid heartbeat, loss of consciousness, tremors, reproductive defects and neurological abnormalities are just some of the acute and chronic health impacts that come with benzene exposure, according to the report. Researchers also argue the three most vulnerable populations in a worst-case scenario are children, women of childbearing age and seniors.

Takaro and his colleagues are calling on the Trudeau government to initiate a peer-reviewed process that would look at the health impacts of the project to determine if it’s in the public interest. “Kinder Morgan did do a human health risk assessment that they paid for. What we’re asking is that this be independent of the company,” he said. “Kinder Morgan submitted only a narrowly scoped assessment of health risks for review to the National Energy Board.” In an emailed statement, Kinder Morgan spokesperson Ali Hounsell said en-

It’s a salmon miracle in Burnaby waterways Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Local waterways are experiencing the biggest chum run in decades, if not ever, according to a Burnaby streamkeeper. Mark Angelo told the NOW close to 1,100 fish have already come up the Brunette River, past the Cariboo Dam.That’s about 300 more than last year’s count, and there are still two weeks left in the run. Meanwhile, an additional 700 chum have passed through Stoney Creek. “It’s pretty exciting,” said Angelo, who has spent more than 40 years advocating for Still Creek and Guichon Creek, and used to head the Fish,Wildlife and Recreation program at BCIT. “I think to see all of this unfold in the midst of our city, especially on local wa-

terways that not long ago were in really rough shape, impacted by pollution, urbanization and industry development, it is literally a salmon miracle in the city.” He said this year’s run has also seen an increase in coho salmon.

It’s just so encouraging to see The “major turnaround,” Angelo noted, was when Metro Vancouver created a new passageway at the Cariboo Dam in 2011, allowing fish to swim in and out of Burnaby Lake with more ease. “Ever since they did that, we’ve been seeing an increase in salmon get over

the dam and get into the creeks and streams in the upper part of the watershed. Every year it keeps building. It’s just so encouraging to see,” he said. Efforts by local streamkeepers and conservation groups to restore waterways is another reason for the spike in chum this year, added Angelo. “All of this highlights the fact that if we do the right thing, we can in fact turn things around.” Angelo, who frequents the streams daily, has seen a lot of local residents marvelling at the salmon. “We’re seeing a lot of young people who have never seen salmon spawn before.To be able to see that and witness that is so exciting. It does reconnect young people with one of nature’s most amazing spectacles,” he said.

Businesses that École Jules Verne: High School in French

hen l’école secondaire JulesVerne opened its doors in 2008, most of the classrooms were empty. “We had about 187 high school students at the time,” says Claude Martin, principal of Jules-Verne. “Most of the classrooms were filled with students from the elementary school, l’école Rose-des-Vents. Now we have around 320 students in the high school.” Both Jules-Verne and Rose-des-Vents, along with another elementary school in the Killarney area, l’école AnneHébert, are part of the Conseil scolaire francophone (CSF), or the Francophone School District 93. The CSF is part of the public education system in B.C. and offers education in French to francophone children in a number of communities around the province. “One of our challenges,” notes M. Martin, “is making sure that the elementary school students from Rosedes-Vents and Anne-Hébert continue their education with us as they move into high school. Parents love the elementary side but when the kids reach high school, they worry that an education in French will affect their

chances of attending an Anglophone university.” On the contrary, students graduating from Jules-Verne are fluently bilingual. “It’s a huge advantage,” M. Martin says. “Every March, we’re visited by someone from the government to meet our grade 12 students to offer them employment. Being bilingual is a real asset.” Jules-Verne also offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma program, with core courses such as math, science, history and art taught completely in French. “But there’s a strong English language component,” says M. Martin. “We make sure that when our students graduate, they have two first languages.” For more information about l’école secondaire Jules-Verne or the CSF, please check the school’s website at http://julesverne.csf.bc.ca, call 604.731.8378 or email claude_martin@ csf.bc.ca.

Did ﬁreworks ban help Halloween?

Quiet night for firefighters after city implements fireworks sale ban Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It was certainly a contentious issue prior to Halloween, but now the festivities are over, Burnaby’s ban on the sale of fireworks appears to have had the desired effect. While it could have been the weather, or the fact that the day fell on a Monday, fireworks calls and related problems were kept to a minimum on Halloween night. And the number of complaints about fireworks sales in the city were zero. Deputy fire chief Dave Samson said the fire department didn’t receive any complaints that resulted in extra inspections of businesses leading up to Halloween. With only two minor firerelated calls on the actual Halloween evening, he suggested the sales ban appears to have contributed to a safer day. However, he cautioned it takes a few years

to analyze the data to know for sure. “Making it more difficult (to buy fireworks) and not being sold in the city, certainly we do believe makes it safer for our citizens and our visitors,” he told the NOW. In September, council voted 7-1 in favour of a resolution recommending the city amend its fire services bylaw to prohibit the sale of fireworks across the city. The decision to go ahead with the amendment was made earlier this summer, when staff presented councillors with a report outlining the various problems associated with the fly-bynight fireworks shops that pop up all around the city every October. But the move didn’t sit well with some, including the fireworks industry. Representatives from the Canadian National Fireworks Association criticized the city for its lack of public consultation while discussing the

sales ban. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal supported the ban and stands by the decision now Halloween is over. He said he always believed fireworks were an impulse buy and suggested the ban contributed to a quieter Halloween this year. “It seemed like it was not as much and only limited to one night only,” Dhaliwal said. He also suggested it might be only a matter of time before there is a complete ban on fireworks but added that would have to be

region or province-wide. The councillor also said he understands some of the opposition to the ban, specifically from year-round businesses that sell fireworks during October. He said he did hear from concerned business owners during the vote. Originally he wanted to see a sale ban across the region because of that predicament. Dhaliwal said he’ll be asking for a report from city staff and the fire department in response to the first year with the ban in place.

Together, we’ve explored and, in many cases, settled on agreements that provide new opportunities and prosperity, in addition to ensuring the Project design and planning incorporates appropriate measures to protect Aboriginal interests in the lands and waters. These agreements represent the mutual respect we have established and pave a path forward for our company to maximize Project benefits for Aboriginal communities. As a result of our Aboriginal Engagement Program, Trans Mountain has received support from many Aboriginal groups along the Project corridor. We have received 40 Letters of Support, which include many Aboriginal communities most impacted by the Project and located within close proximity of the proposed right-of-way. Where our Project is proposed to cross First Nation Reserve lands, we have received their expressed agreement.

Over the last four years, we’ve had more than 30,000 points of engagement with Aboriginal groups. We’ve provided more than $13 million in capacity

Over the past several years, I have personally worked hard to establish and build upon our existing relationships with Aboriginal groups along our pipeline and marine corridors. I am thankful for the opportunities I’ve had to listen to and learn from Aboriginal communities across BC and Alberta.

We have signed dozens of agreements to provide education and training, community and infrastructure investments, business opportunities and other Project-related benefits. These agreements define a mutually beneficial long-term relationship and are designed to respect Aboriginal and treaty rights, culture, diversity, languages and traditions.

Where engagement activities have focused on environmental concerns, we have integrated study results into Project planning to minimize or avoid impacts wherever possible. Trans Mountain is also seeking to provide procurement, employment and workforce development opportunities. A funding program has been established to contribute to education and training initiatives focusing on construction and related skills that are transferable and allow for employment in various work environments. Through our Aboriginal Procurement Policy, Trans Mountain is actively working to connect with Aboriginal businesses offering services or products relevant to Project construction or operation. In addition, we’re continuing extensive consultation with training providers, industry associations and communities to create initiatives increasing the long-term shared success of the Project. Local Aboriginal groups participate in our emergency response exercises and we are exploring opportunities to partner with organizations such as the First Nations’ Emergency Services Society of BC and others to provide Emergency Management training programs directly to Aboriginal community members. Trans Mountain has a 60-year history of working with Aboriginal groups and supporting economic and community development initiatives. We’re committed to continued listening, learning and working with communities to ensure that knowledge and advice is fully considered and incorporated in the Project at all stages of construction and operation. @TransMtn

Fight for $15 hits the streets in Burnaby In a city where affordable housing has become a hot-button issue, the fight for a higher minimum wage resonates with many residents Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Michael Blais knows how hard it is to live off of minimum wage.That was his starting rate when he worked at IKEA in Coquitlam, and even though he eventually made roughly $14 per hour, he still couldn’t make ends meet. “The only way was to live really close to work to minimize costs for transporta-

They are just suffering in silence tion and food,” Blais said. “You can either work two jobs and buy everything out, or you can work one job and try to be close and reduce your commute time and (have) no meals out.” That strategy is what drew him to Coquitlam, but after he and his family were demovicted from their lowcost apartment rental, they landed in Burnaby’s Metrotown neighbourhood and are facing yet another demoviction. Then ACORN, an antipoverty organization, came door-knocking in the neighbourhood, and Blais said he had a two-hour conversation about poverty, realizing he wasn’t alone. “These issues are affect-

ing thousands of people, and they are just suffering in silence,” he said. Blais is now an active member of ACORN and spent one September afternoon at the Metrotown SkyTrain station, collecting petition signatures for the Fight for $15 campaign, a push to raise B.C.’s minimum wage to $15. ACORN joined union members from CUPE Local 23 (representing Burnaby city staff), the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, Unifor and Move UP. Burnaby city Coun. Anne Kang also showed up for the signing blitz. Kang said the City of Burnaby has not taken a position on the issue, but she was endorsing the campaign as a provincial NDP candidate. “I really think people can stand behind this campaign. The amount of inflation – everything has gone up but the minimum wage.” The blitz was timed with the provincial government’s Sept. 15 increase to the minimum wage from $10.45, the lowest in the country, to $10.85 – a 40 cent increase. A full-time minimum wage worker would earn $1,627 per month before taxes. B.C. Federation of Labour President Irene Lanzinger said the government is not doing enough. “Alberta has a plan for

a $15 minimum wage by 2018.They have an economy that is really struggling because of low oil prices. Our government likes to brag about the economy we have now, but that wealth is not being shared with the 480,000 people who work for less than $15 an hour, essentially poverty wages,” she said, addressing reporters. Burnaby MLA Raj Chouhan also canvassed the crowd, trying to get people to sign. He too said the

40 cent increase was not enough but it was a good start. “The first eight years of this government’s term, they didn’t even increase the minimum wage at all,” he said. “People working in low level wages, they are not able to sustain their lifestyle, they are not even able to help their family, forget about their lifestyle.” But not everyone is embracing the idea. Burnaby resident Mark von Schellwitz is vice-pres-

ident for Western Canada with Restaurants Canada, and he has concerns about increasing labour costs in a competitive sector that traditionally has thin profit margins. “If you really want to see how the impact of this is and moving what I would say is too much too fast at the wrong time, just look what’s happening in Alberta right now.You’ve got a government there that’s moving to $15 an hour, they’ve eliminated a liquor server

differential that will happen on Oct. 1, and they’re also doing that in the middle of a recession,” he said. “As a result of last year’s increase alone, our industry has shed 5,000 jobs in Alberta.When costs are going up and your revenues are going down and you have such a significant increase in the minimum wage, … that just ratchets up your entire wage scale, and at the end of the day those this is meant to help get hurt the most.” Continued on page 12

Fight for $15 in Burnaby

Continued from page 11 The 5,000 lost jobs von Schellwitz was referring to were the result of a number of factors, but members of his association cited wages as the main reason.The Alberta government increased the minimum wage from $10.20 per hour to $11.20 on Oct. 1 in 2015. “It’s not just tied to the wage increase, it’s a combination of a number of things, but the wage increase, if you survey our members was by far the number 1 reason why they had to eliminate jobs,” he said. “The minimum wage for someone who loses their job is zero.” Von Schellwitz said raising the minimum wage sounds great in theory but

it has to be done in the context of economic reality. “What we would advocate for – instead of this arbitrary $15 an hour minimum wage, which the union movement is trumpeting all over North America – what should be happening here is your entry level wages should be tied to objective economic indicators, like average weekly wages, the consumer price index, because that’s what employers use to give all their employees pay raises, and we want our employees to keep up with the costs of living,” he said. Even so, campaigners collected roughly 1,000 signatures in both Burnaby and Surrey on Sept. 15.That brings the total number of

signatures to 47,150.The B.C. Federation of Labour’s plan is to partner with an MLA to present the petition in the legislature before spring. In the meantime, members will keep collecting signatures at transit hubs and sports and community events. New Westminster resident Ashley Altun stopped to sign the petition. She works at Burnaby’s Charlford House, a recovery home for women, where she makes minimum wage. She also works two other jobs, and she’s studying addictions counselling. “I’m totally down with this cause,” she said. “There are women coming out of recovery, (minimum wage) would be so overwhelming.”

Burnaby Board of Trade small business networking event

SMALL BUSINESSES SALUTED It was all about small businesses at a board of trade event last month. In honour of Small Business Week, Oct. 16 to 22, the Burnaby Board of Trade hosted a special edition of its Networking and Referral Group on Friday, Oct. 21. Folks gathered at Fortius Sport & Health for the morning event.The pur-

pose of the networking session was to highlight the dynamic small businesses that help drive Burnaby’s economy. Board of trade members were encouraged to bring non-members along to make some new connections, too. The NOW stopped by to see what all the fuss was about.

Potters’ guild holds show You can pick up some early Christmas presents and support local artisans, all in one spot. The Burnaby Potters’ Guild is holding its winter sale and show on Nov. 12 and 13 at the Capitol Hill Community Hall. The guild is a long-established working group of ceramic artists based in Burnaby, working out of the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. “It promotes the appreciation of clay arts by making studio space available to potters and clay artists, participating in community events, and holding regular exhibitions and sales,” a press release explains. “Members work together to produce glazes and fire their own wares in a variety of kilns, using many techniques and constantly experimenting.”

The guild holds two major shows per year: in the summer and before Christmas. Both shows include a collection of handmade pottery in a variety of styles and techniques. The winter show will also feature a raffle.The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra has donated two tickets to be raffled off, and money

raised will help to purchase additional kiln equipment. The show runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Capitol Hill Community Hall is at 361 South Howard Ave. in North Burnaby. Parking and admission are free. For more on the group, check out www.burnaby pottersguild.yolasite.com.

#FLASHBACK FRIDAY

When you’re facing a medical emergency, you know you can rely on B.C.’s nurses.

SNAIL SPEEDSTER

Rosser elementary Grade 1 student Stanton Chan and a purpose-bred racing snail were preparing for the slowest race in Burnaby in June 1995. The pair was gearing up for the annual BurnabyHastings Rotary Club snail races the following day. The event was expected to draw 258 students to the school’s gymnasium and would feature snails racing from the centre of a round table to a finish line of shredded lettuce 13 inches away.

Too bad the people working for their union can’t rely on the BCNU executive. BCNU leadership are taking aggressive actions that hurt the people who work for them. They are slashing provisions for sickness, medical appointments and family responsibilities as well as demanding concessions from their employees. If you agree that the BCNU leadership should act more like the nurses they represent, please call a member of the executive who lives in your community. Let them know you expect better from those who represent B.C.’s nurses.

Beer fest returns to Burnaby Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Beer enthusiasts, take note: the second annual Burnaby Beer Festival is just around the corner. The Nov. 12 fundraiser, which supports Burnaby Community Services, will once again be held at Spacekraft, near Metrotown.There will be three tasting sessions – one more than last year – with nine participating breweries, including Steam Whistle Brewing,Whistler Brewing Company, Doan's Craft, Dogwood Brewery, Strange Fellows Brewery, Lighthouse Brewing Company, Phillips Brewery and Burnaby’s very own Dageraad Brewing and Steamworks Brewing Co. Stephen D’Souza, executive director of Burnaby Community Services, anticipates another sellout year. “Last year, our two tastings were tight.They were sold out, both of them, 24 hours before the event, so a lot of people came to the door looking to buy tickets

but were sadly disappointed.We had to shut off sales because we ran out of beer, we ran out of space. It was elbow-to-elbow room only,” he told the NOW. D’Souza credited the beer festival’s popularity to Burnaby’s booming craft beer industry. In October, Dageraad and Steamworks took home a total of 10 awards at the B.C. Beer Awards. “We were looking for a way to engage the community with something different than we’ve done in the past.We’ve always done galas and fundraisers, and we’ll continue to do those, but we wanted to do something a little different that would really show the changes that are happening in our community. Right now, there’s a real explosion around the foodie culture, the beer culture and the music culture,” D’Souza said. The goal is to raise $12,000 for Burnaby Community Services, which provides support to low-income families through initiatives like the Christmas Bureau.

CIBC and United Way are helping kids, families and seniors in our community. Join us. For a good cause: Burnaby Beer Fest is set for Nov. 12, and funds raised at the event will go to Burnaby Community Services. PHOTO NOW FILES

The non-profit also helps seniors maintain a healthy and independent lifestyle. There will be plenty of entertainment during the six-hour festival, with a different band scheduled to play each tasting session. The first session, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., will see jazz musician Karla Sax take the stage.The Happy Hour session, from 5 to 7 p.m., will feature Freedom 95, with The Sean Michael Trio closing out the evening, playing between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m.

Steelers Vikings bounce South in league ﬁnal stack up Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Late goals nets Grandview the win In a battle that was touch and go at times, the Grandview Steelers shook off their rival and skated off with their 10th win of the Pacific Junior B Hockey League season. The Steelers exploded for three unanswered goals to break a 4-4 tie and best the Mission City Outlaws 7-4 on Sunday, thanks to Joseph Santalucia’s first goal of the season. Santalucia, a Burnaby native, scored with 6:34 left in the third, and was followed with goals by Nico Bruno and Bryson Wong to end a game which saw Mission twice rally to tie. Grandview led 2-0 after 20 minutes, but the visitors scored twice in the second period to make it a game.While Christian Bettoil, with his eighth of the year, restored the Steelers’ lead, the Outlaws kept in step and eventually tied it 4-4 with under eight minutes left in the third. That’s when the home team found a third gear. Bruno finished with two goals, while Braeden Gurney Bettoil and Wong each scored once and set up another. Jacob Siebenga added the other marker. Kicking out 24 shots for the win was Matteo Paler-Chow. The game got rowdy in the third, with both teams tagged for 68 penalty minutes. Grandview visits Ridge Meadows on Friday, before returning home to play Aldergrove on Sunday, 4 p.m.

If it was an unlikely final pairing, it was a fitting finish. The Burnaby North Vikings solved the underdog mystic of the Burnaby South Rebels with a 1-0 win Wednesday in the BurnabyNew West senior boys AAA soccer playoff final. Burnaby North pushed hard in the first half and took the lead at the 40-minute mark when Mario Banovic converted a free kick to cap a flurry of chances that saw Burnaby South goalkeeper Gabe Radcliff rob Gordon Grice from 15 feet a minute before the game’s only goal. The second half had the Vikings, who posted the second-best record at 5-1 during the regular season, in lock-down mode. Burnaby South drove the ball forward a handful of times but were unable to penetrate their northern rival’s backline, with Jesse Pavelich collecting the clean sheet. “We were mentally focused,” noted North coach Deborah Peters. “Our skills were there, we just had to get it together.We played like this ever since we played South (in the regular season).” That encounter three weeks ago resulted in a 3-0 Vikings win, and was the team’s toughest test prior to the season-opening loss to Burnaby Central. In the ensuring three games, including last week’s semifinal 5-0 win over Cariboo Hill, North outscored its competition 14-3. South’s route to the final was more arduous, against the odds and dramatic. Earning the sixth and final berth into the playoffs after a 2-4-0 season, the Rebels proceeded to edge Moscrop 3-2 and shock previous-

NAYLOR

ly undefeated Burnaby Central 5-4 in penalty kicks to advance to the final, thanks to a Curtis Li goal. “The biggest test to date would have to be the game against Central,” noted South coach Frank Giallonardo. “(Central) have quite a few very talented players… (We) played with a lot of effort and didn’t give up until the game was done.We were down 2-1 and we tied it up, got it to overtime and won in (penalty kicks).” Against theVikings, however, the

chances were few and too far between. “It was a good game, it just came down to chances.They finished there’s, and we couldn’t get a good one,”said Giallonardo. Both teams now face the top teams from the North Shore, with Burnaby North facing undefeated and No. 3-ranked Argyle, while Burnaby South plays the win of North Van and Sentinel. Both games are Tuesday at Burnaby Lakes.

SFU an unknown quantity to start hoop season The Clan launch 2016-17 season with seven new faces, a new coach and same big goals on Div. 2 circuit

Amidst numerous questions swirling around the Simon Fraser University men’s basketball team, one rings out as the most important, if not a little obvious. Who are they? With seven new players and a new head coach, the 2016-17 edition of the Clan barely resembles last year’s squad.That question of identity is something that the new bench boss, Steve Hanson, is wrestling with. For the second straight exhibition game, junior transfer Kedar Wright led the team in scoring with 20 points in a 96-53 win over Columbia Bible College on Tuesday. Junior J.J. Prankratz tallied 19 points, Graham Miller had 15 and Othniel Spence added 14 in

a balanced attack. “It’s going to take some work and a few games to see what these guys are together,” said Hanson. “However,

I know that we’re going to be small, especially up front. We’re not going to pound it inside, necessarily.What we will do is get up and down

the floor quickly, create in transition.” Among the eight returning Clan members from last season, Pankratz is set to take a large leadership role, both on offense and in the locker room. Named one of three team captains, the 6-foot-7 guard/forward is the Clan’s highest-scoring veteran, as he averaged 9.3 points-per-game. Dutch guard Hidde Vos will be relied on heavily as a senior, as will red shirt junior guard Andrew Williamson. Bowen Bakken should also see a significant spike in floor time, while redshirt frosh Aleks Vranjes and Miller could see some floor time in their debut seasons. Up front, sophomore Tyrell Lewin and senior Gi-

bran Sewani should provide most of the Clan’s interior presence. Standing 6-foot-8, Lewin is the tallest player on SFU’s roster. Hanson is plenty familiar with this group, having served as one of departed coach Virgil Hill’s assistants last season. “We’ve got a great core of guys from last year,” said Hanson. “They’re talented, they’re smart, and, they’ve got the drive to get better. Not only are they skilled in their own right, but I couldn’t have asked for better people to rebuild this program with.” As for the newer faces on the Clan, Hanson is adding a lot in terms of backcourt talent. Redshirt freshman Michael Provenzano

joins the Clan from Lake Superior State, while Wright brings electric athleticism and a relentless work ethic to the Clan lineup. Iziah Sherman-Newsome was a late addition to SFU’s recruiting class – with a developing shot and a pro-caliber frame at 6-foot-4 and 220-lbs, the JUCO transfer will be leaned on to create opportunities on the glass and at the net. All in all, that adds up to some high-flying, edge-ofyour-seat basketball. “SFU hasn’t made the playoffs in six years in the NCAA, and I intend to change that,” said the head coach. Up next, SFU hosts Quest University 7 p.m. on Saturday in the West Gym.

Wildcat boys dash to zone banner The Burnaby Central Wildcats’ boys cross country team delivered a zone banner for the school last week. Led by defending district and zone champion Charles

Yu, the top four Wildcats racked up 22 points en route to the aggregate title. Yu, hampered by what was later diagnosed as pneumonia, placed second, while interna-

tional student Killian Kuhlbrodt placed fifith. In seventh spot was Grade 12 Matthew Pomponio, while DanielYu, Grade 10 brother to Charles, finished eighth overall.

It’s been a while in the making. The Alpha Aztecs exacted its revenge at the right time, capturing the Burnaby-New West junior boys soccer league playoff title last week with a 2-0 win over Burnaby Central. And while the squad were fittingly pleased with the win, the team’s focus has turned to what may come in next week’s North Vancouver and District championship at Burnaby Lakes. Getting the win over the Wildcats – who earlier handled the Aztecs 7-2 – was satisfying, and well-deserved, said Alpha coach Antonio Dal Sasso. “It was a lot of fun – the boys had fun. We carried the play but (Burnaby Central) were pushing back,” said Dal Sasso. It was the Wildcats’ first loss of the year. Marco Consiglio gave Alpha the early lead, finishing a scramble at the 10-minute mark.The game remained close and Central pulled out all the stops seeking the equalizer, but netminder Nick Vavares stood his ground and made two tough saves in the final 15 minutes to keep the clean sheet. Adding some insurance with five minutes to play was Matteo Flex. Considering their previous encounter was just two weeks earlier, the difference in result seems inexplicable. But the fact that Alpha carries a roster of 24 players,

balanced equally with Grade 10s and Grade 8s, provides some of the answers. “The Grade 8s learned a lot this year from playing with the Grade 10s,” said coach Dal Sasso. “In league games we gave the Grade 8s a fair share of playing time, but in the playoffs I started my Grade 10s and that was a big difference.” It ended an 11-year drought for the jr. boys soccer program – the girls jr. soccer team claimed the district title three years ago. “The win has brought a greater sense of pride within the student body and staff community,” remarked Alpha athletic director Nirmal Chandi. “If these boys stick together, they will continue on a tradition at Alpha for having strong soccer teams.” The Aztecs finished tied with the Burnaby South Rebels for second place in the regular season with a 3-2 record. Their other loss in the year came against the Rebels, who provided the opposition in the semifinal. Once again, Alpha turned the tables, advancing to the final with a 3-1 win. The defence, led by Luca Dal Sasso and Cole Diepold, was a major force in the decision. “Defence was the main reason, they played really strong,” said the coach. “I think the team succeeded because they learned over the year to trust each other, play for each other… They come from different clubs, but they’re all buddies.”
