Where will they go now?

Immigrant families say ‘renovictions’ are forcing them out of their apartments

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A handful of families in a Burnaby low-rise apartment say their landlord is evicting tenants on the “false pretense” that units must undergo renovations in order to increase the rent.

Oleh Chentsov, his wife Irina Levinova and their three-yearold daughter have lived at Claremont Terrace, 6960 Ellwell St., for more than two years. After signing a year-long lease for $1,000 a month, they were put on a monthto-month contract.

But last week, Chentsov was served with a two months’ notice to end tenancy.

“As you know, we have been updating the building for the past several years,” reads the letter. “It is now time to update your apartment.There are many things that need repairing. ... It will take

a minimum one month to deal with.”

The letter notes the kitchen and bathroom are in need of new cabinets, countertops, sinks and faucets.The work also includes replacing electrical lights, fans,

carpeting, blinds, closet doors, appliances and updating the electrical panel.

The unit, however, is in very good condition, according to Chentsov. It’s only the cupboards and flooring that need replacing,

he said, adding he’s already invested $5,000 of his own money to upgrading the home.

“This is actually what we asked her a year-and-a-half (ago) to do, ... but she came, inspects it, (says), ‘No, no, no. It’s totally fine.Your

apartment is excellent,’” he told the NOW. “Why didn’t you do those things when we moved in? If you look, every apartment is individual, but she’s sending the same letter to every apartment, which is Continued on page 3

FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT

Burnaby Hospital gets new provincial money

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The redevelopment of Burnaby Hospital may still be years away, but staff at the aging health-care facility got some good news this week.

On Thursday, the Health Ministry announced it will spend $8.8 million toward building a new emergency mental-health and substance-use zone and consolidating outpatient clinics currently scattered around the hospital.

$ Includes up to 6 liters of 0W20, 5W20 or 5W30 oil. Additional cost for specialty oils and filters.

Not valid for diesel engines. Environmental disposal fee ($2.50 for oil and filter) and tax are not included.

The Burnaby Hospital Foundation will kick in another $5 million for a total of $13.8 million to pay for the so-called “interim sustainment plan.”

Health officials and Burnaby-North B.C. Liberal MLA Richard Lee were on

hand at the hospital for the announcement.

So was Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP candidate Anne Kang, who didn’t put much stock in it.

“We’ve been waiting for more than a decade for an announcement,” she told

Medical staff at the health-care facility, however, said they’ll take what they can get.

Are ‘renovictions’ driving tenants out?

Building manager says rising property taxes and city fees have put property management company in a bind Continued from page 1 wrong, because our apartment doesn’t need 90 per cent of those things.”

Chentsov believes he’s being evicted because he’s one of the few tenants in the building paying an affordable rent, and the landlord is eager to hike it by a few hundred dollars.

“Even a $100 raise, that’s a huge impact to our budget; that’s huge money.We can’t afford that,” he said.

Under the Residential Tenancy Act, landlords can increase the rent once a year, but only by a small percentage.The rate for 2017 is 3.7 per cent, meaning Chentsov’s rent can only go up by $40.

Neighbour Dmitry Foos, along with his wife and his

Even a $100 raise, that’s a huge impact four-month-old son, are in the same predicament.

“The main purpose is to kick us out. All she wants is to increase the rent. She cannot do it by law, and she’s doing it like this,” said Foos of what’s known as “renovictions.”

The same goes for Rafi Charif and his wife Natalia, who are paying $884 a month for their one-bedroom unit and must vacate

by May 31.

Charif said he was verbally warned about the eviction notice in February after a chat with the landlord.

“She said, ‘You know, you’re paying the lowest rent in the building. I will increase your rent, or I will

give you two months’ notice.’ I said, ‘You have no right to do that, it’s illegal.’

“In this area, the price of the building is going up, and the new highrises are coming around. (They’re) taking advantage of that to increase the price,” Charif said.

NOT OUR FAULT When reached by the NOW, the building’s property manager blamed rising property taxes and city fees for the renovictions.

“Currently we’re paying $110 per unit (in property taxes). (A) building on downtown Granville Street is $75 per unit in property taxes.That is absolutely crazy,” said Simone Greaves with Ambassador Industries Ltd., adding Claremont Terrace is in the red.

According to B.C. Assessment, the total value of the building and land is $10.35 million, up from $8.73 million the year before.

The cost of renewing the apartment’s business licence went up, too, according to Greaves, who said she had to fork over an additional $500 this year (it cost her $1,800 in total). Garbage collection isn’t cheap either, she said.

“We used to be able to get rid of garbage for $70 a load.We’re at $200 a load now, which is literally every week.”

She added if rents are not increased, the company will lose the building.

“The building next door sold because the woman went bankrupt because her rents were so low she couldn’t afford the mortgage. …We’re going into the same predicament,” she said.

Greaves defended the

renovations and said the building is very old (it was built in 1972).

“We still have stoves that are hard wired.When you plug in the microwave, it blows the power in the building.”

She pointed to other past must-do renos, including redoing the roof and replacing the pipes.

“We keep the property immaculate.That costs money.We’ve also installed cameras because we had break-ins.Who pays for that? That doesn’t come at a zero cost,” said Greaves.

She noted after the renovations, the rent for a onebedroom will be $1,200 and $1,300 for a two-bedroom.

NOWHERE TO GO The Claremont Terrace residents who have come forward, all immigrants, say they don’t have anywhere to go if they have to leave.

“We are not rich,” said Charif. “We’re angry.We look at Craigslist. It’s not easy to find an affordable place.”

Meanwhile, Chentsov and Foos both work fulltime jobs while their wives stay at home and take care of the children. Having to deal with looking for a new place to live in a market

with a near-zero vacancy rate has caused many sleepless nights, they say.

“Imagine, we have a steady, normal life.Then suddenly, somebody comes and says, ‘OK guys, in two months’ time you have to move out.’ How are you supposed to feel?You’re stressed.You just keep thinking 24 hours about that. All your plans, all your life is just postponed and

now you just deal with this,” said Chentsov.

“I have a small daughter,” his wife, Irina Levinova, said through tears. “It’s not fair.”

The three families have applied to the Residential Tenancy Branch for dispute resolution and are scheduled to have their hearings via conference call in May. The group plans to argue the landlord did not receive all the necessary permits

to renovate the unit, even though the eviction notice states otherwise.

The NOW checked with the City of Burnaby and confirmed no permits have been issued for any electrical work at Claremont Terrace.

They will also make the case their units are in good condition and the renovations are minor, not major.

Condo market still hot

20

Mike Xue

editorial@burnabynow.com

The attached homes and condo markets in Burnaby continue to be in hot demand in the first quarter of 2017.

Realtor Alex Jopson says properties in this sector are regularly selling for $100,000 over asking price.

Jopson recently sold a threelevel corner unit on Southpoint Drive in South Burnaby for $921,000, a home that sat on the market for just seven days before being snapped up by the highest of seven bids.

“The current condo market seems to be extremely hot because of last year’s market and the first-time home buyers’ program,” says Jopson. “Well-priced condos and townhouses are seeing multiple offers. Detached homes, although slower than last year, can see multiple offers too, if they are priced right.”

Jopson believes buyers who adopted a wait-andsee approach in the aftermath of the 15 per cent foreign buyers’ tax are slowly making their way back into the market. He adds that

Townhome living: The market for attached homes is still hot in Burnaby. PHOTO ISTOCK

most of his buyers are locals upgrading or downsizing, while some are from Greater Vancouver looking for more space or their first home.

“We have both sides of the market interested in townhouses,” says Jopson.

Ultimately, it comes down to affordability “Condo owners have finally seen increases in their home equity, making it easier to make the jump to larger homes.”

According to Jopson, buyers are attracted to Burnaby for its walkability and access to transit, while young families, especially, place emphasis on good schools.

“Ultimately, it comes down to affordability,” he says.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

The life of a tenant is a precarious one

“Imagine, we have a steady, normal life.Then suddenly, somebody comes and says, ‘OK guys, in two months’ time you have to move out.’ How are you supposed to feel?You’re stressed.You just keep thinking 24 hours about that.All your plans, all your life is just postponed and now you just deal with this.”

Those are the words of Oleh Chentsov, a Burnaby resident whose story (see front page) highlights just

how unpredictable life can be when you’re a renter.

Chentsov is one of a group of tenants – all immigrants to Canada – who are facing the very real prospect of having nowhere to live thanks to what they characterize as “renovictions” at their apartment building.

They’re taking their case to the Residential Tenancy Branch, but in the meantime they’re living in limbo and wondering what

they’ll do if they end up out of their affordable units and back at the mercy of a competitive rental market.

They’re far from alone.

With other residents falling victim to “demovictions” as older buildings are sold off to developers for new highrise projects, and still others simply being squeezed out by rising prices, Burnaby is becoming a precarious place for those who can’t afford to buy a high-priced

condo.

Granted, it’s not an unusual story in the Lower Mainland. Burnaby is far from alone when it comes to the perils of a housing market that’s growing steadily out of reach of ordinary working folks.

But stories like Chentsov’s do make us look rather wistfully across 10th Avenue at New Westminster, where the city government is at least attempting

to deal with the issue of affordable housing.

For instance, New Westminster requires all multifamily projects to include a percentage of family-friendly units. And, just this week, the city announced a partnership that has seen a new “rent bank” set up in the city, with help from credit unions, non-profit groups, the city and the MLA’s office.The rent bank will provide emergency low-interest

loans to tenants facing eviction or utility cut-off due to unpaid bills.

Those aren’t cure-all solutions. But at least New Westminster’s actions are going some distance to convincing us that the city actually cares about all its citizens – and not just those who can afford to buy highpriced highrise condos.

We wish we could say the same about Burnaby.

MY VIEW SELENA NICCOLI

Blame won’t save the planet

For something as clean as protecting the environment, the debate that takes place between scientists and the business world can be dirty.

When U.S. President Donald Trump was asked, “Who will protect the environment?” he replied: “We’ll be fine with the environment; we can leave a little bit, but you can’t destroy businesses.”

Here lies the problem with this debate today.What can we do that will protect the environment while simultaneously having a strong economy without any fossil fuels? Lots of the negativity is being generated from the business community when discussing such problems like climate change. Many can get defensive and argue the laws are to hurt them. Or how will they make their money and provide for their family?

These are good questions.

Protecting the environment does not have to come at the cost of business. It is safe to say that without the environment there will be no business to do, so how do we get the best of both worlds? Humans need to invest in our planet and do so quickly.

Climate change can be tricky as you cannot see its effect right away. Every time you use your car you don’t see the temperature rise or an iceberg melting away, so we don’t see what our damage does to the earth until it is too late. Getting people on board with changing their habits to fix something that they can’t see is tricky.

First, tax breaks and oth-

er incentives can be used to urge people to make the switch. People will not change their mind without it benefiting them.

Allowing for research to be done and investing in the sciences will open a world of possibilities that clean energy can provide for us.

Not only can we create new ways of getting energy, but we can continue strengthening what we have in place for clean energy.

These will create new jobs and new opportunities for business. Since one of the biggest concerns is our energy, creating a whole new energy source and promoting new clean energy companies could see new investing opportunities.

Fossil fuel use is not sustainable for the long term.

But having a company in something like clean, renewable energy could be beneficial. Not only are you protecting the earth, but your business plan does not have to have an end. Oil will run out, so will coal, but with renewable, clean energy, it doesn’t have to.

The road to sustainability is not an easy one. But time and time again we get politics mixed up with our environmental needs.The time for pointing fingers at people and blaming one group or the other is over.

Having an open dialogue about the environment in a respectful manner is Step 1 in the road to our planet being clean and our businesses booming.

Selena Niccoli is a Douglas College student writing for her environmental sociology class.

ATM gets a drive-through It wasn’t the kind of strike any bowling alley wants to be a part of. In the wee hours of Jan. 6, a van and a pickup truck drove through the front doors of Brentwood Lanes and made off with an automated teller machine.

Police said two vehicles matching their description were later found torched in the 4900 block of Parker Street, with the ATM nowhere to be found. Both vehicles had been reported stolen. Said Burnaby RCMP Const. Phil Reid: “if there’s a will, there’s a way.”

Poor health: It can take your breath away.

E

Dear Editor: Some ideas for the City of Burnaby: 1. Richmond has an emergency text/communication system: why do we not have something like this in Burnaby? Especially with Kinder Morgan concerns. This quick and effective way of communicating mitigates hazard exposure when risks happen, whether it is flood, landslide, earthquake, fire, smoke, hazardous materials, etc. Internet communications, such as email, may be more reliable if Burnaby should communicabe a leading tion towers are city instead of a compromised, and would follower offer a costeffective solution instead of the $20,000plus expense concern to implement.

2. Vancouver introduced a mental health program for hoarding issues that plague many homes causing fire and earthquake hazards or inaccessibility for emergency responders. This program has benefits for a launch in Burnaby as a social service, decreasing the chances of seniors falling and improving response times.

3. Many other communities have 10 per cent new building reserves for transitionary hous-

ing for low-socioeconomic families. This would address the communal backlash caused by Burnaby’s desire to expand housing with lucrative investments driving market prices up and also the displaced community members.

4. In Saskatchewan, Regina and Saskatoon have bylaws protecting pedestrians from being soaked by vehicles driving through puddles.

We’ve all gotten doused at one point or another.

This also encourages slowing down and awareness, as well as another revenue source for the city.

5. Vancouver has crime statistics posted online to help make communities safer. Restricting this information to the public, such as in Burnaby, increases assessed property values, therefore maximizing the city’s revenue when collecting annual property taxes, as well as pleasing property developers.

By posting crime stats, the city would be held more responsible for addressing crime as well, whether through greater community rehabilitation programs, engagement projects, or environmental designs, etc.

Hiding or avoiding crime doesn’t make it go away. Without sharing critical information about crime, though, this artificial value inflation makes the city less safe and exposes citizens to risks.

Burnaby should be a leading city instead of a follower. Maybe we could start with just catching up.

BCIT gets funding for high-tech health centre Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Three years from now, BCIT health sciences students should have the use of a new $67-million building and nearly $12 million worth of specialized simulation equipment, including “extremely realistic” talking mannequins that can simulate everything from a palpable pulse to a complicated birth.

Funding was announced last month for a new, fourstorey, 111,460-square-foot Health Sciences Centre for Advanced Simulation (HSCAS).The province will kick in $66.6 million for the state-of-the-art facility, while BCIT will put up the remaining $11.7 million.

Simulation has become a critical part of health-care education, according to an April 2016 concept plan for the project.

Scheduling real practicums in hospitals has become increasingly difficult,

the report states, and simulations help prepare students for valuable clinical placements without stressing a busy health-care system.

“Less prepared students do disrupt a high-paced, complex workflow,” states the plan.

The new centre will simulate not just patients (with the high-tech dummies) but health-care environments too, like hospitals, community clinics and home care clinics, to familiarize students with workflows and how different disciplines work together.

That may be even more important than practising specific procedures on mannequins when it comes to improving patient care, according to the report.

“The root cause of patient safety issues often relates to elements of patient handover from one discipline to another; misunderstanding of limitations and/or challenges of the patient environments; misunderstand-

ing of technology interfaces etc.,” states the report.

“Seldom is it specifically the procedure being done inaccurately.”

The new facility is also a step towards bringing BCIT health sciences course and programs – currently scattered across seven locations on the Burnaby campus – closer together.

Many of the current teaching spaces are “spatially constrained and functionally inadequate, both in terms of equipment and teaching space,” according to the report, and the building that houses the institute’s small existing simulation facility is in “very poor condition” and has a high seismic risk rating.

The new Health Sciences Centre for Advanced Simulation has been BCIT’s top capital priority since at least 2011.

Work on the project is scheduled to begin in summer 2018; completion is expected in 2020.

IMPORTANT REMINDER

BurnabyNOW FRIDAY April 7, 2017 9

City now New funding for Burnaby Hospital Continued from page 1 looked at it all carefully,” said Dr. David Lough, who had been the hospital’s medical director up until last month.

While the overall plan to develop the hospital has been “churning away for years and years,” according to Lough, the interim sustainment plan has been in the works for only about 18 months and is badly needed.

We’ll leave it up to reporters to conjecture about that.

“Here we’re sitting in the middle of 400,000 people and the old building was built in ’52, the emerg and some of this area here in ’78, and things change drastically, and certainly the mental health and our load in emerg has changed drastically for the community,” he said.

The new mental-health and substance-use zone will provide a private, low-stimulation space in the ER, staffed with mental health specialists.

“If you walk into a busy emergency department at say 8 or 9 o’clock at night,”

Good news for health care: Dr. David Lough, former medical director of Burnaby Hospital, speaks during a funding announcement for a new ER mental health and substanceuse zone at the local healthcare facility to be completed by 2020.

Burnaby emergency department head Dr. Paul Johar told the NOW, “you’re going to hear bells ringing, people running around (‘patients groaning, vomiting and screaming,’ interjected Lough) right beside patients who need to sleep or who need rest.”

The details have yet to be worked out, according to Johar, but the new zone will limit stressful stimuli and afford patients more privacy during confidential interviews.

Work on the project is set to begin immediately and is scheduled to be complete by 2020.

Room for it will be found within the existing building, according to Lough, in space that isn’t currently being used, like medical-record storage areas left vacant by the transition to digital storage.

Asked if the opioid crisis has accelerated the implementation of the plan, Lough and Johar said probably not, since the business case for it has been in place for some time.

“But it is timely,” Johar said.

As for the timeliness of Thursday’s announcement, so close to election time, the doctors declined to wade in.

“We’ll leave it up to reporters to conjecture about that,” Johar said. “We need the resources.”

A Proven Fighter I’m taking on Christy Clark. And I need your help.

As a three-term Burnaby City Councillor, a mom and a school teacher, I work hard to support my family and my community.

While your life gets more expensive, Christy Clark gives huge tax breaks to her wealthy and powerful friends. That’s just not right.

That’s why I’m standing with John Horgan and the BC NDP. I’m proud of John’s commitments to bring in $10 a day childcare, create good paying jobs, and reinvest in Burnaby Hospital.

New plan: Burnaby North MLA Richard Lee was among the officials present at Thursday’s Burnaby Hospital announcement. PHOTO

Arts Alive brings student work to gallery Burnaby Art Gallery’s 35th student exhibition runs alongside new exhibit of contemporary Coast Salish art Every year since 1982, the Burnaby Art Gallery has been giving students from around the district a chance to show their artwork at the gallery.

Arts Alive 2017 is returning for its 35th year from April 18 to May 21.

An opening reception will be held Thursday, April 13 from 6 to 8 p.m.

Arts Alive, presented in association with the Burnaby school district, features 40 works of collaborative art. More than 1,200 students from 40 classes in 16 elementary schools took part in creating the works.

The focus on group projects came about as a special tribute to many anniversaries happening this year: the gallery’s 50th, the City of Burnaby’s 125th and Cana-

da’s 150th. In celebration of community, teachers were invited to involve students in group projects on the theme of Place and Home.

The art can be viewed in person at the gallery or online at www.burnabyart gallery.ca.

The Arts Alive exhibition coincides with The Salish Weave Collection:Works on Paper, an exhibition that features works from a private collection of contemporary Coast Salish art, donated to the gallery’s permanent and education collections.

The exhibition includes works by Andy Everson, Maynard Johnny Jr., lessLIE, Luke and John Marston, Susan Point, Chris Paul and Dylan Thomas, who draw on the

Have you had a chance to check out Luminescence II yet? The exhibition of two- and three-dimensional works celebrating light is on at Deer Lake Gallery until tomorrow (Saturday) – and there’s a special gala closing tonight to sign off.

Closing festivities are set to run from 7 to 9 p.m. at the gallery, at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. Everyone’s welcome to stop in for the free fun, which will include entertainment by singer-songwriter Carolyn Neapole.

It’s a family-friendly exhibition – kids will particularly have fun with Robert Turriff’s Pulse Quasar, which sets lights in motion according to the dancing, jumping and other movement of viewers on a pad below, and with Ross Hayduk’s light-based sculptures that respond to touch.

Not to mention the black light room in the basement, where the artworks (and the visitors) glow in the dark.

Another talking point of

the exhibition is the major installation in the back room, AllWatched Over By Machines of Loving Grace, by Ben Z. Cooper and Stuart J.Ward.

All told, some 30 artists have work in the exhibition, which spans every part of the gallery (yes, even the washroom) and the outdoors.

The gallery is also hosting two final artist talks on Saturday, April 8, with Nick Gregson at noon and Chris Taylor at 2 p.m.

Check out www.burnaby artscouncil.org, or just stop by the gallery to join in the fun.

SPOKEN INK Here’s a heads up for lovers of the written word.

The Burnaby Writers’ Society is continuing with its Spoken Ink reading series on Tuesday, April 18 at Deer Lake Gallery.

The reading night will feature Aidan Chafe and Lindsay Glauer Kwan.

Burnaby residents are invited to take part in Culturegrams, a new community art project that promotes cultural diversity.

The Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table, in partnership with Tourism Burnaby, has printed 12,500 cards for the initiative, which asks the question, ‘What does culture mean to you?’

The back side of the cards have been left blank so participants can get creative with their answer.

Folks can paint, draw, write or put together a collage if they’d like.

The hope is to collect at least 1,000 cards, which will then be used to create a vibrant display the public can view during the city’s Canada Day concert and fireworks celebration at Swangard Stadium.

“I think the more people share what their own culture is all about or what it looks like, I think people get a shared understanding of how different the cultures are and how similar cultures can be,” said Michel Pouliot, co-chair of the planning table. “The more you understand about other cultures, the less you become resistant, the more comfortable you get to be with the other cultures.”

Organizations that are distributing and collecting the Culturegrams include

Central City in Surrey is a bustling mecca of business, shopping and education that has been the catalyst for growth in Surrey’s downtown core since Blackwood Partners purchased the mixed-use development in 2007.

Of course, it hasn’t always been that way. Ten years ago, when Blackwood Partners bought Central City, they took on the complex role of aiding in the rejuvenation of Surrey, which at that time was struggling to attract business and development into what is now Surrey’s vibrant downtown. Developers and businesses alike were looking for a modern, leading-edge facility that could attract not only business, but skilled workers and consumers from every demographic, along with students.

When it was purchased, Central City filled an important void in Surrey’s evolution at the time, and today, it continues to be a magnet for new business and opportunities. It also serves as one of the reasons Surrey continues to be one of the fastest growing cities in Canada, welcoming approximately 800 new residents per month.

The reasons for this are aplenty. Central City is an award-winning facility that combines 140 retail stores with restaurants and services. Not to mention, the large civic plaza was the first open urban space in Surrey when it was built. There is also a 350,000-square-foot Simon Fraser University campus along with a 560,000-square-foot office tower housed within Central City.

By Elizabeth Model

In a region that is so dependent on transit to move people, having access to two SkyTrain stations at Central City is hugely important – ultimately connecting people with services and schooling. The two SkyTrain stations, coupled with thousands of

Many organizations that now operate within the office tower have opted to re-locate their offices from other areas in the region to become part of Central City.

These include: McQuarrie Hunter LLP, Westminster Savings Credit Union, Century Group, FINCAD, 7/11 Canadian headquarters, Vancity, and the Fraser Health Authority which is the largest tenant, hosting 200,000-square-feet of office space. Shopping onsite includes some of the best and biggest retailers in the region including: Bed Bath & Beyond, Winners, Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart, Best Buy, The Brick, T&T Supermarket along with a Passport Office.

Surrounding Central City, there are a significant number of capital projects completed and currently underway. Developments that are now open to the public include the expansion of Surrey Memorial Hospital, Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, the RCMP Headquarters that houses over 2,700 members and support personnel, Surrey’s 77,000-square-foot City Centre Library, and the new 165,000-square-foot Surrey City Hall that opened in February 2014.

In the coming years, we’ll continue to see the areas surrounding Central City evolve and develop into one of Canada’s best urban centres as it attracts new business and opportunities. An exciting new project that is underway is 3 Civic Plaza, a mixed-use Marriott Autograph Collection® hotel coupled with a residential project that is currently under construction. It is 52 storeys and will house a 30,000-square-foot Kwantlen Polytechnic University Satellite Campus once completed. When completed, this tower will be the tallest building in Metro Vancouver outside of downtown Vancouver.

Another important project that will soon join the neighbourhood is a new YMCA with state-of-the-art amenities. These projects are estimated to cost $500 million and will provide significant local and regional economic benefits.

Ultimately, Surrey is growing, from people, to shops, offices and more. Central City’s development was truly a harbinger at the time, and has since resulted in a booming urban centre, which continues to accelerate with public and private investments.

Campbell revels in USL field time Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The biggest test was one of patience.

When Terran Campbell pulled on the Vancouver Whitecaps FC2 jersey for the first time for a game in 2015, he knew there’d be an adjustment period.

Things have gotten a lot easier since then, but the Burnaby Central grad still recalls the difficulty that comes with sitting.

“My first year I didn’t get to see the field very much,” recalls Campbell of his United Soccer League debut. “Everything about it was (different).The speed of the game was faster, mentally you need to always be switched on.

“It was a real difficult time, sitting, (because) I was so use to starting every game. Sitting on the bench really got to me.”

Fast forward to now, and Campbell is part of a youth infusion with the pro club, which sits 0-1-1 to start the year.The ’Caps host the Seattle Sounders FC2 on Saturday, 3 p.m. at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley.

“I’m enjoying it, especially now,” he said. “I’m getting playing time and learning so much.”

Campbell said going up against men – with the club’s ages spanning 16 to 25 – as a teenager presents some interesting challenges, but his game has evolved under such scrutiny.

“I describe myself as a physical, speedy player who likes to go one-on-one, get the cross into the box,” the winger said.

The team has a heavy Burnaby flavour, thanks to Campbell and the Ballisimo brothers – Matthew, a 19-year-old defender, and 16-year-old Michael, a defender/midfielder.

A product of South Burnaby Metro and the Burnaby Selects before the Whitecaps chose him for their residency program at the age of 11, Campbell won’t let youth be an excuse.

“This season I want to be more of a leader on the field. It doesn’t matter how old I am, I’m always wanting to make my team better.”

For him, soccer is everything.

“It’s meant a lot to me my whole life. I just strive to go as far as I can with it.”

Bruins repeat at Western Canadians

Make it two in a row.

The Burnaby Winter Club Bruins came and conquered last week, dominating the competition at the Western Canadian AAA bantam hockey championships in Warman, Sask.

Led by defenceman Ryan Helliwell, the Bruins lambasted the Sask Valley Vipers 9-2 in the championship final, with the highly-skilled Helliwell scoring three goals. Also registering a hat trick and two assists was Kyler Kovich.

Burnaby led the host team 3-0 after 20 minutes, and outscored the Vipers 4-1 in the sec-

ond period.

While the final was one-sided, there were plenty of challenges for the squad in the tournament, head coach John Batchelor said.

“It was an outstanding accomplishment for the kids, and they played really, really well,” he said. “During the round robin (portion) we had three games in like 22 hours. ...We changed up our gameplan, not necessarily conserving energy but using it differently. Once we got to the final we got back to our usual style.”

It was another undefeated run for the squad,

as they finished the round robin portion of the tournament a perfect 4-0.

Kalen Szeto averaged three points a game to lead all scorers, while Kovich counted a tournament-high seven goals. Netminder Koen MacInnes posted a .950 save percentage.

First-year Trevor Wong was a strong contributor on the team’s first line.

The squad finished the season with only one loss – an overtime defeat – and 38 victories.

It was the Bruins’ sixth Western Canadian title over 17 seasons.

SFU students take lead in stadium discussion

Simon Fraser University announced the first phase of the student-led stadium project, which will see covered stadium seating built into the hillside at Terry Fox field on the Burnaby campus.

The project is expected to be completed by April 2020 through a $10-million contribution from SFU students.

The stadium will become the permanent home to Canada’s only National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) teams. It will feature seating for approximately 1,800, a full roof, washroom facilities and a media centre.

The stadium would serve as the home field for the football team and men’s and women’s soccer.

Golf Course & Driving Range 604-280-4653

As a part of the agreement, the university will provide any additional funding necessary to complete the first phase of the project.

SFU will manage the project and the Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) will contribute annually to the university from 2019-2030 through a special student levy.

SFU will contribute an additional $50,000 annually to the SFSS from 2016-2030 to assist undergraduate students (SFSS members) experiencing financial challenges as a result of the levy.

“The venue will provide a space to host campus community events, including student orientation, concerts, tournaments and recreational activities, in addition to be-

ing the permanent home of our NCAA teams,” said Tim Rahilly, SFU’s associate vice-president, students and international.

As the only Canadian university offering a NCAA experience, the stadium will play an instrumental role in supporting Clan student athletes and raising the profile of the university.

This student-led stadium project is a part of an SFSS initiative dedicated to building a new student union building and stadium at the Burnaby campus.The consultation process ended with students voting in favour of the funding levy.

“For the first time in our history, our student athletes will have a permanent outdoor home on

campus where students can come together to build and celebrate school spirit,”Theresa Hanson, senior director athletics and recreation, said in a press release. “The stadium project will enable us to bring entertainment and life to the campus, and engage with alumni and surrounding community.”

Fourth-year student Jordan Herdman, a linebacker for the Clan football team, says that the stadium project will provide a home for student athletes to showcase their hard work and talent.

“Playing in front of home fans means the world to an athlete because they know that everybody in the crowd is cheering for them,” said Herdman.

Athletes Morrison, Sherley star in Tiffin streak honoured Burnaby midfielder dominates on defence to earn collegiate Player of theWeek honours at SFU

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The hardware was flying this week as Simon Fraser University celebrated its athletes at the 2017 Athletics Awards Banquet.

Receiving the Lorne Davies Athletes of theYear awards were Adam Jones, Alison McKay, Mallory Velte and the women’s volleyball team.

Jones, who was the offensive leader with the men’s soccer team, had already received the GNAC and West Region player of the year honours, as well as an NCAA AllAmerican first-team spot.

McKay was the women’s volleyball team’s libero and held opponents to a .157 hitting percentage.

Earlier she was presented with the GNAC defensive player of the year award for a second straight season, as well as All-Region and All-American honours.

Veltre went undefeated in collegiate competition as she dominated the 143-lb weight class for a second straight year.

The women’s volleyball team was celebrated for posting a best-ever 21-8 record and its first trip to the NCAA championships.

The Tiffin Dragons continued their winning streak on the weekend powered by the contributions of two local field lacrosse players.

Sophomore Amie Morrison of Burnaby and New Westminster native Morgan Sherley were instrumental in Tiffin’s come-frombehind victory Saturday, a 15-11 decision over the Roberts Wellsleyan College Redhawks.

It came less than 24 hours after the Dragons upset No. 18-ranked Indiana University of Pennsylvania 14-12.

Sherley racked up six goals and six assists over the two games, including the game winner on Friday, to help the Tiffin, Ohiobased Dragons push to their fifth straight win after a 1-2 start to the season.

Morrison, meanwhile, anchored a stellar defensive outing as the Dragons displayed plenty of resilience.

The 19-year-old caused three turnovers against Div. 2 powerhouse Indiana, including one late in the game with the opposition pursuing the equalizer.

The duo’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed at the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference offices, as Sherley picked up her second Offensive Athlete of the week honour of the season, while Morrison was named the Defensive Athlete of the Week.

Trailing Roberts Wellsleyan 5-1 early in the first half,Tiffin turned the tables with an 11-2 run to lead by five at halftime. Sherley, a senior, counted the team’s second goal, sparking the rally. It was the third straight game the New West native had struck for at least two

goals.

Over the team’s first nine games, Sherley has scored multiple goals on six occasions, including a pair of four-goal efforts.

A St.Thomas More Collegiate alumna, Sherley counted four in beating Indiana, including the game winner with eight minutes remaining.

The five-foot-nine midfielder sits first in team scoring with 17 goals and 12 assists over nine games.The former Team B.C. player notched 43 goals and 19 assists over 18 games, to finish second in team scoring.

For Morrison, a product of Burnaby South and the Burnaby Mountain Selects program, this year has seen bigger assignments for the five-foot-six defensive midfielder.

Last year, starting 15 of 18 games, she contributed 11 goals and 15 assists while collecting 23 ground balls and creating 10 turnovers.

This year, she has started all nine games and tallied six goals while pocketing 12 ground balls and instigating a career-high 11 turnovers.

TRUTH IN ''EMPLOYMENT'' ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.
