ELECTION 2017

City candidates hit all the hot issues

By Tereza Verenca and Lauren Boothby

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The Kinder Morgan pipeline, homelessness and education were some of the hot issues that dominated the discussion at an all-candidates meeting this week at Capitol Hill Elementary School.

The two-and-a-half hour Q&A, hosted by Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion (BROKE) and Force of Nature, was

for MLA hopefuls running in the Burnaby North and Burnaby-Lougheed ridings. More than 100 people attended.

Both B.C. Liberal candidates Richard Lee and Steve Darling were absent from the event.

ON THE PIPELINE The first question of the evening was on the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project.

B.C. NDP candidates Katrina Chen (Burnaby-Lougheed) and Janet Routledge (Burnaby North) didn’t veer from the “no pipeline” par-

“There’s no economic case. It’s only going to create a few dozen permanent jobs. ...They’re putting our local residents’ safety, our environment at risk,” Chen said.

Newsnow Byrne hits the right notes – again For the second year in a row, a Byrne Creek Secondary vocal act has taken top honours at the annual Burnaby’s Got Talent student talent show Tuesday night.

Singer-songwriter Jorry Luz crooned his way into the final four, accompanying himself on guitar, and was then named the top act by audience members after encore performances by all four finalists.

The competition – organized by the Burnaby district student advisory Council (DSAC) – raised nearly $3,000 for the Helping Families in Need Society, a charitable organization that helps women in transition, single mothers and fathers on income assistance, new immigrant families, refugees and other low-income families in the community.

DSAC has raised more than $23,000 with Burnaby’s Got Talent over the last five years, contributing the

proceeds to a different local charity each year.

The show features two acts from each of Burnaby’s eight high schools.

A panel of judges – made up this year of fashion vloggers Cassie Masangkay and Ricci Pamintuan, dance and musical theatre teacher Damon Jang and SONG Creative Mentorship Association cofounder Josh Balabyekkubo – whittle the pack down to four finalists.

Among the final four this year were Luz, Alpha Secondary band Better Strangers, Cariboo Hill’s Sarah Derasp, Courtney Cameron and Ethan Birnie with a slam-poetry-piano-dance collaboration and Cariboo Hill German international student Linn Meyer, who belted out Janis Joplin’s Mercedes Benz for her second act.

After the encore performances, Luz won the audience vote.

Fox stage; Cariboo Hill international student Linn Meyer sings; Byrne Creek’s Jorry Luz accompanies himself on the guitar; and Burnaby North performer Sarah U dances during the 2017 Burnaby’s Got Talent student talent competition Tuesday. The show raised nearly $3,000.

CHEVRON DEAL

City refinery sells for $1.46 billion In huge deal, Parkland Fuel Corp. purchases Burnaby refinery, 129 retail service stations and aviation fuel sales atYVR

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Chevron Canada Ltd.’s Burnaby refinery is under new ownership.

As part of a $1.46-billion deal announced on Tuesday, Parkland Fuel Corp. has acquired all of Chevron’s downstream assets in Western Canada, including the facility at the end of the Kinder Morgan pipe-

line.The refinery processes 55,000 barrels of oil per day.

Parkland is also getting 37 commercial cardlock stations, three marine fueling stations and 129 Chevron-branded retail service stations, in addition to the 44 it’s already operating in eastern B.C.The company is also taking over aviation fuel sales at the Vancouver International Airport.

The deal makes Parkland Canada’s largest fuel retailer, with over 1,800 pump stations, according to Bob Espey, Parkland’s president and CEO. “The opportunity with this business (Chevron) is it’s really in an area where we don’t have a lot of presence, so it allows us to expand our footprint into a great market, with a great set of assets, with a great set

of employees that underpin that,” he told the NOW. Parkland is “really excited” to the get the Burnaby refinery, said Espey, noting all staff – unionized and non-unionized – will be offered employment.

“It has the best supply position in the Vancouver market, and we certainly need the current team to Continued on page 5

Refinery job news ‘encouraging’

We don’t really know much of them as an employer at this point.

“We’re under the assumption that that’s true. It sounds like it’s a wholesale transfer of the existing business.”

But Day admitted he was somewhat surprised by the transaction. He said the Calgary-based company is “an unknown entity in the refining business.”

“We’re used to deal-

ing with large multinationals when it comes to refining so, obviously, they’re new to the game, and so it was a bit of surprise in that sense,” he said. “They’re in the marketing end of things, but the refining end is obviously new to them, so we don’t really know much of them as an employer at this point. ...We’ll just wait and see how things turn out.”

Parkland owned one refinery in central Alberta years ago, according to Espey.

“A lot of our team has had experience in integrated oil companies and certainly understands the intricacies of a refinery. Again though, we’re really pleased and welcome the (current) team because we do need that expertise to run the refinery on an ongoing basis,” he said of Day’s comments.

The billion-dollar deal comes at “an interesting time,” said Day, because the union is in the middle of collective bargaining and has “some fairly big-ticket items.”

“It may present some

challenges in that respect.

Things like benefits, for instance, some seniority-related issues. ... Obviously, Parkland will be inheriting all that.”

Parkland plans to fund the deal via a $660-million bought-deal share offering, a $500-million bridge loan and other sources of cash.

“On that $660 million, we were oversubscribed by $2 billion dollars, so a lot of interest by the investment community to sup-

port our acquisition of the Chevron business,” said Espey. “We’ll be doing a bond offer in the next couple of days. In essence, we’ll have it fully funded here by the end of the week.”

The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2017.

Chevron still holds on to its proposed Kitimat LNG facility, its upstream assets and its lubricants business.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Please, don’t play dodgeball in this campaign It’s completely understandable.

If you’re a first-time candidate invited to an all-candidates meeting sponsored by a very active and vocal advocacy group, you might think twice about going.

And if your party has a position that that advocacy group is strongly opposed to, well, you get the drift.

We hope that was not the

reason Steve Darling was apparently double-booked on the evening of April 18 when BROKE hosted its all-candidates meeting (see story on page 9).

But it wouldn’t be the first time a political party decided to play dodgeball with the media and/or the public in an election campaign.

The federal Conser-

vatives were caught redhanded in the last federal election keeping their candidates hidden from the media.

Their strategy was simple: See no candidates, question no candidates, and hope voters believe the ads and vote their prejudices.

It’s a cynical strategy, and it does a great disservice to democracy. And it shows a

particular disdain for voters.

There were a couple of other all-candidates meetings in the Lower Mainland last week where the Liberal candidates were no-shows.

We hope this is all a coincidence.

Because if it is some part of a cynical game plan, then that alone should disqualify those candidates from receiving a voter’s support.

A large part of democracy is just showing up.

It takes guts to run for office and it takes guts to stand up for unpopular positions.

And, yes, newbie candidates will be tested with questions they haven’t yet mastered the answers to.

That’s to be expected. But voters understand it takes time to learn all the de-

tails, and they understand when a candidate is inexperienced.

What is much harder to understand is how a candidate who is playing hideand-seek with voters and/ or the media can promise to stand up for constituents in their riding when they can’t even face the voters in a campaign.

MY VIEW JORDAN BATEMAN

Mayors have priorities askew

Another week, another weak attempt by the Lower Mainland mayors to pin all the region’s problems on the provincial government.

Fastballs of problems are flung fast and furious by the city politicians: homelessness, property taxes,TransLink. But, in the style used by frustrating, petulant children since the dawn of parenting, the mayors never take responsibility for their part in any of these problems.

Last week, MetroVancouver rushed out the preliminary results of its 2017 homelessness count, showing a one-third increase in the number of homeless people in the region from 2014.

The mayors’ prescription, of course, is more provincial money for more housing projects.The dirty little secretVancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson doesn’t want you to know is that his city hall continually slows down these projects with its burgeoning bureaucracy, high housing taxes and ridiculous red tape.

Last week, the mayors’ push was “curing congestion.”Their cure is to give themselves more provincial money and the ability to tax people for every inch they drive. Specifically, the mayors want to elect a premier who will let them bring in a massive road pricing tax to generate money for TransLink.The second-highest gas taxes on the continent aren’t enough: drivers need to be choked for even more.

Still,TransLink – the beast that eats money – demands more. A road tax will disproportionately hurt sub-

urban drivers and will drive up the cost of goods and services across the Lower Mainland. Just what we need: a way to make life even more unaffordable.

On Sunday, their road tax plans were dealt a death blow.The B.C. Liberals promised to cap bridge tolls at $500 per year; the NDP promised to get rid of them altogether.

NewWestminster Mayor Jonathan Cote went into hair-on-fire mode: “I’m feeling a lot less confident today than I was even a week or two ago that those (rapid transit) projects will ever get built,” he told TheVancouver Sun. If those projects don’t get built, it’s on no one except Cote and the mayors.

If transportation is such a high priority for the mayors, they should reprioritize their own spending to reflect that. By putting a small percentage – less than one-third of one per cent – of municipalities’ five per cent annual revenue growth toward their plan, they could fund the whole thing without raising our taxes.

Remember, these are the same mayors who blow millions plowing bike lanes before clearing roads, subsidizing a bike-share program and overpaying their staff, among many other sins.

Judging by their deft deflections of responsibility, the mayors’ efforts in the 2017 provincial election seem designed to try and save their own electoral skins in their 2018 municipal campaigns.

Jordan Bateman is the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Rats, rats everywhere There was a spike in rodent activity in Burnaby in June.

Craig Wilson went before council to ask the city to step in with enforcement against people who feed wildlife, a practice that ends up attracting rats. Mayor Derek Corrigan said the city takes the issue very seriously and has tried to remedy it as best it can. He suggested the problem areas weren’t the city’s responsibility, noting that some of the places Wilson was talking about were under the jurisdiction of railway companies and TransLink.

Election2017

Candidates discuss housing, education Continued from page 1 favour of the pipeline, but with caveats.

“It is impractical and not long-term foresight to consider shutting down a pipeline and accepting alternatives that are more dangerous,” Murarka said.

Candidates were asked about anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) suit legislation to curb frivolous lawsuits given Kinder Morgan’s 2015 civil suit against five Burnaby Mountain protesters.

Joe Keithley, former frontman of punk band D.O.A. and the Green candidate for Burnaby-Lougheed, told the crowd he played guitar and sang with the Burnaby Mountains protesters. He said his party would support anti-SLAPP suit legislation.

Routledge told the audience an NDP government would do the same. She noted the B.C. New Democrats brought forward anti-SLAPP suit legislation in 2001, but it was repealed five months after the Liberals won a majority.

The candidates were asked if they would stand in front of the bulldozer with Mayor Derek Corrigan.While no definitive “yes” answer was given by the Greens, both candidates hinted they would.

ON HOMELESSNESS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING Keithley and Hallschmid said the Greens would launch a basic income pilot project.

Chen said the province needs to implement a poverty reduction plan, and her party would continue the co-op housing subsidy for residents in her riding.

“B.C. is the only province in all of Canada that does not have a poverty reduction plan, and that is not acceptable,” she said. “Solving homelessness is not just solving one issue; there’s so much more we have to do to support local residents and families with the cost of living, and making sure we invest in affordable housing.”

Routledge told the audience the NDP’s $10-a-day child-care program is part of solving homelessness because those who can’t afford the care could then work.

Education is a right, not a privilege

Meanwhile, Hallschmid said the system the Burnaby Citizens Association (of which the mayor, council and school trustees are all members) has been using for rezoning properties is not working, and there are no incentives to building affordable housing stock.

“Unfortunately, the local party here has received many donations from developers and as a consequence, you have building after building going up.

Zoning is not being done in a way like inVancouver, where there are incentives, and unfortunately, there’s a strong link between the party here and the (B.C.) New Democrats,” he said. “The relationship is to be a member of the party here in the city, you also have to be part of the (B.C.) New Democrats as well, and this is why this topic is often not men-

tioned.”

ON EDUCATION Green candidates said they would give free preschool for parents earning less than $80,000, free adult education and a $2,000 tax refund for post-secondary students.

“Education is a right, not a privilege,” Keithley said.

Routledge said public education is “starved” and that an NDP government would move students “out of portables and into real classrooms.” She added her party would expand apprenticeship and training programs.

The Libertarian candidate said the party would send subsidies schools receive per student to parents directly to use for public, private or homeschool.

WHAT PEOPLE HAD TO SAY Anders Hoenisch, a Burnaby North resident, told the NOW he’s split between the Greens and the NDP. “I like both parties. I found myself liking what the Green party candidate was saying a little bit more. I’m going to strategically, probably vote for the Democrats anyway,” he said.

Burnaby-Lougheed resident Lorne Iverson said he will be voting for Chen.

“I just can’t see how we’re going forward with this kind of situation where we’re going to have no fuel produced in B.C., none, and have all of the environmental risk that’s attached to pipelines and storage tanks, and we get nothing out of it,” he said.

Election2017 BURNABY ALL-CANDIDATES MEETING

Where were the two missing Liberals?

Audience members at Tuesday night’s all-candidates meeting quickly took notice of the Liberals’ absence.

Just before the candidate introductions began, one person stood up and shouted, “Shame on the Christy Clark Liberals!” and interrupted the moderator.

The NOW followed up the next day and asked why Steve Darling (BurnabyLougheed) and Richard Lee (Burnaby North) did not attend.

WHAT THE LIBERALS HAD TO SAY Campaign manager Tanis Sullivan on Darling’s whereabouts: “It was a meeting with voters at a private residence in the riding, which was planned prior to the notice of (Tuesday) night’s debate. … He is committed to attending the Burnaby Board of Trade

The RSVP timeline March 20: Event organizer Elan Gibson sends out the invite via email to all candidates. NDP and Green candidates confirm attendance. No response from the Liberal candidates.

April 6: Second email goes out with venue details.

April 7: Gibson hand delivers hard copies of the invite to both Liberal campaign offices. Lee’s campaign manager responds “with regrets” and provides Gibson a list of meetings Lee will be attending. A volunteer at Darling’s office shows Gibson a small calendar with some-

meet-and-greet at the Firefighters Banquet and Conference Centre next Monday. ” Richard Lee: “I had other commitments (Tuesday)

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE? There’s nothing remarkable that comes to mind. I’ve learned so much from so many people, and I’ve always stayed true to myself. I think, really, that’s my biggest success.

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE? My biggest success has been getting elected as a city councillor three times. I am honoured by the confidence the residents of Burnaby have in me.

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE? My biggest success so far are my children. I do what I do for them and for others, who I know about, that can use my help to improve their lives.

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE? My biggest regret is that I didn’t get to know my grandmother who died when I was five.

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE? I try not to have regrets. Mistakes are an opportunity for growth and improvement. If I have a regret, it is not doing more earlier.

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE? Coming to Canada for any new immigrant is a challenge; overcoming language and cultural barriers.

My husband and I came to Canada with nothing, but together we have built a …*

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE? I think so much about the future of humanity and so little about my own material interests. In conventional terms, that has made me a complete and absolute failure.

WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA I intend to be more than just an MLA. Our new constituency office would be the most wonderful part! The revolution will begin here, among us; not in Victoria.

FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE? Braveheart is my favourite movie because of the last scene, in which William Wallace, the protagonist, chooses to suffer death, still a free man, rather than submit to tyranny.

WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA My time on city council has taught me how government works and how to get things done. I have the experience to be a strong representative for Burnaby-Deer Lake.

FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE? Right now, my favourite book is No Laughing Matter, by former NDP MP Margaret Mitchell because she was such a trailblazer for women in politics.

WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA I am not a career politician. My heart is in the right place for this work, and I have the time and drive to help others. I think I can …* FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE? The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss. The message is simple and pertinent. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”

One last entry This Q&A reflects candidates registered as of Monday, April 18. One more candidate – Graham Bowers of the B.C. Conservative Party – is now also on the final list of registered candidates.

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE? I regret not being able to visit my dear friend and mentor, Fred Cheeseman, who was like a father figure to me, before he passed away last July. He helped …* WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA I listen and I care.

I am not beholden to any special interest groups and can therefore faithfully represent my constituents’ needs without fear or favour. Having spent the past …* FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE? Favourite book: Manhattan’s China Lady. Very inspirational and motivating. I learned, “Having a dream, working hard and never giving up are all the keys to success,” and “nothing is impossible.”

* Candidates were given 30-word limits for each answer. Longer answers have been cut off at the word limit.

BACKGROUND: As with all the ridings in Burnaby, election watchers can expect an interesting race in Burnaby-Deer Lake. It’s been held by New Democrat MLA Kathy Corrigan since 2009, when she posted a 512vote victory over Liberal incumbent John Nuraney (who held the previous riding of Burnaby-Willingdon before boundaries were redrawn).

She increased her gap over the Liberals slightly in 2013.

At the same time, Green support has been small but growing, as Rick McGowan – who’s back on the ballot this time – increased the Green vote to 8.3 per cent in 2013 (up from 5.5 per cent in 2009).

DEMOGRAPHICS: Not surprisingly to anyone who’s spent time in the area and experienced the wide diversity of stores and restaurants, Burnaby-Deer Lake is home to a multicultural, multilingual population.

By the numbers According to 2011 census data, only Population: 55,075 about a third of its residents (18,820 of 55,075) claim English as their mother Median age: 40.9 tongue. Almost as many – 17,005 – claim a Average number of Chinese language (7,090 Mandarin, 4,080 children per home: 1 Cantonese and 5,835 other or unspeciAverage number of fied). The rest represent a wide range of persons per family: 2.8 Asian and European languages, with a Total number of occusmattering of African. Other popular lanpied private dwellings: guages include Filipino (Tagalog), Korean, 22,645 Spanish, Punjabi and Russian.

English as mother HOT ISSUES: tongue: 18,820 Housing, housing and housing. And did – source: Elections B.C., we mention housing? based on 2011 census In a riding where the vast majority of residents are living in some form of multifamily accommodation, housing is bound to be a hot-button issue.

The 2011 census data shows that only 3,930 of the 22,645 occupied private dwellings are single-detached homes; the rest are spread out between apartments, semi-detached homes, duplexes and row houses, with by far the largest number (14,460) in apartments. Given the rapid pace of development in the past few years, chances are the next census will show even higher numbers than that.

Burnaby-Deer Lake has been at the heart of Burnaby’s “demoviction” controversy as affordable apartment buildings around Metrotown are being torn down to make way for new (and often luxuriously priced) highrise condos. While the city moves ahead with plans to turn Metrotown into the latest and greatest “downtown” neighbourhood in the region, a battle is being fought on the ground between those who want to draw new people to the area and those

RIDING FOCUS: BURNABY-DEER LAKE

ANALYSIS: THE RIDING IN A NUTSHELL

How will demographic changes affect results?

Continued from page 11 who want to save it for the folks who already live here.

We can’t think of a single issue that has so galvanized residents and so divided a community.

Candidates will have to decide whether it’s best to sell voters on progress or whether they want to be seen as advocates for the vulnerable – or whether they’re willing to walk that dangerous tightrope right down the middle.

WHAT TO EXPECT: It’s a new race this time out, with Corrigan retiring and her place being taken by Burnaby city councillor (and elementary school music teacher) Anne Kang.

Kang is facing down Liberal Karen Wang, a businesswoman who runs three daycare centres in Burnaby.

Which one of these two fresh female faces can win will depend, as always, on who can get the vote out – and history shows that may be an uphill climb in this riding. Burnaby-Deer Lake’s existence has been characterized by lousy voter turnout, with only 48 per cent of registered voters casting a ballot last time (following similar numbers in 2009).

An analysis of the pollby-poll breakdown from 2013 shows some very polarized voting patterns in the riding. Not surprisingly, Liberal strength is clustered around some of

the more upmarket housing areas – think Deer Lake and Buckingham Heights – and many of the areas around Metrotown where highrises abound.

The NDP, meanwhile, has typically laid claim to the older, family-focused residential areas around Burnaby Hospital, BCIT and Moscrop, plus the affordable multi-family areas behind Metropolis at Metrotown.

Candidates will have to decide whether it’s best to sell voters on progress or whether they want to be seen as advocates for the vulnerable.

Those latter areas, however, are changing fast. Will new residents who have come into highrises in the area since 2013 be more likely to vote Liberal? Have a significant number of former NDP supporters already been driven out of the riding? Will those who live in those more transient rental areas – with a higher proportion of newcomers and potentially vulnerable populations – even vote?

And will voters in the rest of the riding – where

results at many polls have been separated by a handful of votes either way – turn out in large numbers or just stay home?

Plus, there’s always the wild card factor: Assuming McGowan can build on his numbers from last time, will Green support play any role at all in the final outcome? And can independent candidate Elias Ishak garner enough support to throw a wrench into the plans of either frontrunner?

One thing we know for sure: She who wins will be she who can motivate her people and get them to the polls.

OUR PREDICTION? Kang’s public profile gives her an obvious edge, and she also benefits from the strength of the party machine that has powered so many successful election campaigns at all three levels of government in Burnaby.

The NDP can’t afford to lose this riding if it hopes to form the next government, so we’re betting they’re going to fight hard to keep it. The B.C. Liberals don’t need the riding as badly as the NDP do, but they’d be happy enough to take it away if they could. A strong Liberal wave could help them, if one develops between now and Election Day. In the meantime, we’ll call this one Kang’s to lose.

City now Organizations join forces to help asylum seekers Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Four organizations across the Lower Mainland have recently teamed up to boost support for asylum seekers.

Inasmuch Community Society, Inland Refugee Society of B.C., Kinbrace Community Society and Burnaby-based Journey Home Community Association make up the Asylum Seeker Community.

Each group works with asylum seekers, providing transitional or permanent housing, food, clothing, counselling, relationshipbuilding and access to refugee protection.

“We haven’t before really had a consolidated effort of actually presenting a stronger cause in a more public way,” said James Grunau, executive director of Journey Home.

One of the goals for the Asylum Seeker Community is to create awareness, he told the NOW.

“Every year, we have 1,200 asylum seekers coming to the Lower Mainland, and I think people are unaware of that fact. I think there’s been a lot of more attention given to government-sponsored or privately-sponsored refugees,” said Grunau. “That’s been an underserved population.”

The 2016 monthly average of refugees seeking asylum in British Columbia was 110.This year, it’s closer to 150, he said.

There are some misconceptions around asylum seekers, Grunau noted.

One “myth” is that asylum seekers cross the border to take advantage of the social safety net.

“Our experience with families has been they’re certainly fleeing persecution, and some of them are running for their lives, but they’re wanting to make their own way; they’re not wanting to depend on handouts and government support,” said Grunau.

Often, asylum seekers are called illegal refugees, but Grunau said that’s incorrect because under UN Refugee Agency rules, Canada has an international obligation to protect every person that arrives at its border and makes a refugee claim.

“Their arrival might be better termed irregular, but not illegal,” he said.

The long-term plan is to have Asylum Seeker Community serve all asylum seekers who come to the Lower Mainland so “no one falls between the cracks,” according to the executive director.

“None of us, at this point, can do that individually as an organization, but if we collaborate, we can plan towards that end,” he said.

Asylum Seeker Community is looking to raise $50,000 to help pay for a development coordinator and another $500,000 to provide short-term assistance to the agencies (to donate, visit go.chimp.net/asc).

City now Living organ donors help to raise awareness Longtime local volunteers joined a kidney donor chain through Canadian Blood Services Lauren Boothby

editorial@burnabynow.com

Canadian Blood Service volunteers Ken MacLeod and Elizabeth Black are the kinds of people who would give a kidney to a complete stranger.

After watching both Ken’s father and family friend die of kidney disease after years of dialysis, the married couple decided to become living organ donors.

Ken donated his kidney last year after Elizabeth donated hers in 2013.

“I was so taken by their courage and their spirit and going through dialysis treatments that are pretty horrendous,” Elizabeth says.

“It was such a meaningful thing for me to do to help somebody else (because) I couldn’t help them. But I didn’t want the difficulties they went through to go un-

marked or unnoticed or unappreciated, and so I passed on their courage to making a donation to somebody else.”

Ken says the process was meaningful for him as well.

“In the process with my wife Elizabeth, we were able to meet people who were recipients of kidneys and on the list to receive kidneys, and better understand how much a positive change that is,” Key says, “not only for that person, but for their families (and) for their economic well-being.”

Ken and Elizabeth joined a kidney donor chain with Canadian Blood Services.

In the chain, a person who wants to donate to someone but is not a match gives their kidney to the next person in the chain, and an anonymous donor then gives their kidney to the intended recipient.

Ken and Elizabeth regularly volunteer with Canadian Blood Services, and have been regular blood donors since the early ’70s.

“Being a blood donor for many years, I know the blood is being used for various purposes, and I know you’re helping somebody, but you’re not necessarily knowing how,” Ken says. “Being a living donor, you actually get to experience that. Same thing can happen for families who support people who do deceased donations.The family can also feel a sense that they are helping transfer that essence of life to somebody else.”

National Volunteer Week coincides with Canadian Blood Services’ National Organ and Tissue Awareness Week April 24 to 28.

FAMILY DROP-INS

WHAT’S UP: Parents with young children can enjoy free dropins for fun and support at the Brentwood Community Resource Centre.

TELL ME MORE: The YMCA of Greater Vancouver’s Brentwood Community Resource Centre offers a number of drop-in programs designed to help parents with young children.

On Mondays and Thursdays, parents or caregivers with children up to age six can drop in for a fun and active afternoon playtime, running from 1 to 5 p.m. Meet other families, expose your children to new friends and have a chance to experience new toys and games together – perfect for rainy days or those afternoons when you just need to burn off some of your preschooler’s extra energy.

On Thursdays, parents with infants (under a year old) can turn out for Baby and Me drop-ins, running from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

You can get information on topics pertinent to parenting babies – such as breastfeeding, nutrition, postpartum fitness, child development and more – and connect with other parents. Bring a blanket for your baby.

On Tuesday nights, running from 4 to 7:30 p.m., it’s the evening family dropin – with a light vegetarian dinner and a space for kids and families to socialize. It’s aimed at those with kids up to age five. You can play, sing and share books with the Burnaby Public Library to help make bedtime reading part of your family’s world.

WHAT DOES IT COST? All of the drop-ins are free.

Making connections in the community, meeting other parents with children of the same age, and getting support and information from others is all part of making a parent’s job just a little easier. And for the kids?

It’s new friends, new toys, new games and a chance to bond with parents and caregivers. It’s a win-win all around.

Communitynow Students take part in a new kind of work experience Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

What if, instead of working at a retail store for your high school work experience credits, you could build a device that makes smartphones and tablets accessible to someone who can’t use their hands?

That’s what two Burnaby South Secondary students did this past November.

Grade 12 student Kelly Kong and Grade 11 student Angela Lin spent a week with Burnaby’s Neil Squire Society, each building and programming one Lipsync – a mouth-controlled input device designed by the nonprofit to enable people with little or no hand movement to operate a touchscreen device.

Printing parts with a 3D printer, soldering the circuit board, assembling the device, programming it and installing the completed product onto a wheelchair, Kong and Lin got to experience first-hand how their tech skills could be put to use to make difference.

“We helped install one for somebody,” Lin said. “It was pretty cool.You got to see the entire process, how it fits onto a wheelchair and then how that person will be able to access it.”

Helping real users, the two students learned about more than soldering and 3D printing, they said.

“We got to meet the person personally,” Kong said.

“She told us about her disability and about how her life is.That was really new to me.”

This month, a whole bunch of Burnaby South students will get a chance to have that same experience thanks to an evolving partnership between the school’s computer networking technician program and Neil Squire.

On April 25, the program will host an all-day “buildathon” at the school that will see about 50 students build 25 or more Lipsyncs.

“It gives students an opportunity to see that the skills and fundamentals they’re learning today can solve real-world problems

today, not some sort of faroff, foreign concept,” Neil Squire development director Chad Leaman told the NOW. Since Neil Squire has released the Lipsync open source, it can be made by makers, engineers, tinkerers, and hobbyists anywhere for about $300.

“Some comparable access solutions can cost a couple thousand dollars,” Leaman said. “If you live on under $1,000 a month that’s got to pay for your rent and food, that’s not going to happen.”

The instructions are clear enough, according to Kong, even for a high schooler who “isn’t super good at engineering stuff.”

Lin and Kong will take leadership roles during the buildathon.

Teacher Eddie Wong’s computer networking technician students have volunteered at Neil Squire for more than eight years now, refurbishing computers and installing hardware and software, and he is considering making the buildathon an

annual event.

He expects math, science and tech ed students will be most interested, but anyone will be allowed to participate.

For Wong, the buildathon – and the partnership with Neil Squire – is a great opportunity.

“We’re at the right place at the right time where we

have an employer that’s very forward thinking and wanting to mentor students and is able to do that and provide support when we have that day,”Wong said.

Five BC Parks Campgrounds for Escaping the Crowds Pitching a tent in one of British Columbia’s many provincial parks is the perfect way to get out of town.

Here are five lesser-known provincial parks where you are more likely to enjoy a quiet night (or several) in a vehicleaccessible or walk-in campsite.

INLAND LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK Located in Powell River on the Sunshine Coast, Inland Lake Provincial Park features a scenic 13-km (8-mi) wheelchair-accessible loop trail that’s perfect for hiking and cycling. The 2,757-hectare (6812-acre) park attracts both day and overnight visitors with its canoeing, kayaking, swimming, trout fishing, and wildlife-viewing opportunities.

As a stop on the Sunshine Coast Trail, Inland Lake might even inspire you to backpack all or part of this 180-km (111-mi) path maintained by volunteers with the Powell River Parks and Wilderness Society. (Another multi-day challenge of similarly epic proportions is the Powell Forest Canoe Route, with its multiple portages.)

The campground near the south end of the lake offers 22 drive-in campsites and pit toilets. If you need a break from camp fare, a craft brewery (Townsite Brewing) and restaurants serving up Mexican, Indian, and other cuisines are just 10 km (6 mi) away in Powell River.

SILVER BEACH PROVINCIAL PARK Does camping on the site of a historical gold-rush town appeal to you? Ogden City is now called Seymour Arm, but some of its 19th-century remains, including a graveyard, lie in Silver Beach Provincial Park.

Covering 130 hectares (321 acres) along Shuswap Lake, this park hosts 35 vehicle-accessible campsites and pit toilets. From Highway 1 near Chase, it’s a 83-km (52-mi) drive northeast on paved and gravel roads.

The Shuswap Lake location means a plethora of water activities are available. Silver Beach can serve as your base for canoeing, scuba diving, waterskiing, windsurfing, swimming, and fishing (19 species, such as rainbow trout and burbot).

KINASKAN LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK Found along Highway 37 between two much larger parks— Mount Edziza and Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness—Kinaskan Lake Provincial Park in northwestern BC offers a remote but still drive-in camping experience. The 1,800-hectare (4,447-acre) park, 100 km (62 mi) south of Dease Lake, has 50 vehicle-accessible campsites and pit toilets.

For wildlife watchers, sightings of bears, coyotes, hares, martens, moose, and wolves are possible. Both canoeing

and fishing for rainbow trout are recommended on Kinaskan and Natadesleen lakes.

The latter drains into the Iskut River, which flows over a staircase of Jurassic sedimentary rocks at Cascade Falls.

For the adventurous backpacker, an overgrown trail leads from Kinaskan Lake to Mowdade Lake in Mount Edziza Provincial Park.

NEWCASTLE ISLAND MARINE PROVINCIAL PARK Access to Newcastle Island Marine Provincial Park is by boat only, so its 18 campsites are of the walk-in variety.

Conveniently, the campground is just five minutes on foot from where the passenger ferry from Nanaimo docks.

Designated a provincial park in 1961, Newcastle Island lies in the territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation and has a storied history. Middens point to at least two historic village sites in the 363-hectare (897-acre) park. Starting in the 1800s, coal mining and sandstone quarrying took place on the island before it was turned into a resort.

The Newcastle Island of today boasts 22 km (14 mi) of easy hiking trails. The park has both flush and pit toilets as well as coin-operated showers and a playground.

KOOTENAY LAKE PROVINCIAL PARK There are two vehicle-accessible campgrounds in Kootenay Lake Provincial Park, and one of them even has wi-fi available for a fee. Located 25 km (16 mi) north of Kaslo on Highway 31, both the Davis Creek and Lost Ledge campgrounds offer shady sites and beach access.

Covering 343 hectares (847 acres), the park consists of five sites along 100-km-long Kootenay Lake. The Purcell and Selkirk mountains rise on opposite sides of the water, which invites canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and windsurfing. (South of Kaslo, Cody Caves Provincial Park is open for guided tours.)

Davis Creek is the campground with the wi-fi. It has 32 drive-in campsites, while Lost Ledge offers 14. Pit toilets are on site for taking care of business.

For front-country campgrounds, BC Parks accepts reservations up to four months in advance of arrival. You can book at discovercamping.ca , or call 1-800-689-9025 (Canada and the U.S.) or 1-519-826-6850 (international).

SLIP SLIDING AWAY? Nadya Leese watched her backyard slide into Buller Ravine, near Royal Oak and Marine Drive, in December 1984. Heavy rains had swollen the stream that runs through the ravine and torn at the landfill in the bank. The erosion threatened about six homes built along the ravine. “I thought, ‘Well, how much more is going to go? Will our house got next?’” Leese told the NOW. PHOTO NOW ARCHIVES

Youth, speed breeds optimism for jr. Lakers

Youthful energy, key veterans a big reason why junior Lakers are targeting playoffs in 2017 Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

If a challenge is what the Burnaby Lakers want, the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League will offer that in spades this year.

With a number of programs looking to build onto or bounce back from last year’s result, Burnaby’s plan is not to get stuck in the middle.

First-year head coach Jason Dallavalle is coming in with an open mind, but with a positive spin; having spent the past three seasons working alongside since-retired head coach Brad Turner, he understands just what the Lakers face.

After last year’s 3-18 record, improvement seems like a sure thing.

“There’s a lot of competition in camp (for roles), and I’m very happy with the competition we’ve had,” said Dallavalle. “There have been quite a few surprises, all in a good way.”

Among the surprises have been how a couple of intermediate-aged players have made it tough on the coach, who doesn’t want to over-tax a player for a role in the more physical junior A loop.

Like last year’s intermediate-aged addition, Patrick Shoemay, Jeremy Liew has a grasp on the physical side of the sport, Dallavalle said. “(Liew) is a well-rounded player and plays a physical style, so we feel he can make the jump,” said the coach.

Shoemay had similar attributes that made him a successful aged-up player. At six-footfour, the Surrey native will be counted on to bring a veteran-like presence to the lineup once he returns from Rochester Institute of Technology. Along with Brad Rowbotham, the back-end leadership is rock solid.

The main focus as the club kicks off the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League on Sunday, hosting Victoria (5 p.m. at Bill Copeland

Laker swarm: Out-gunned in the past, the 2017 Burnaby junior Lakers aim to close the gap for a serious playoff run thanks to an insurgence of youth, size and skill.

Among those who will be expected to lead by example are returnees Brad Rowbotham, at left, and Patrick Shoemay, centre. PHOTO NOW FILE PHOTO

Sports Centre) will be on defence and transition, said Dallavalle.

“We’re going to focus a lot on the transition part and more structure on the back end,” he said. “In previous years, we planned to do it, but we didn’t have the horses.This year we do.”

In net, Graham Husick is ready to continue setting a tone in frustrating the oppo-

sition. His .784 save percentage last season was solid, considering he faced a leaguehigh 827 shots over the year.

Joining him will be junior freshman Elijah Uema-Martin, who led Coquitlam’s intermediate A’s to a first-place finish.

Up front, the Lakers have a handful of returnees who can spoil the opposition’s party. Jordan Gabriele, Mason Pomeroy and

Damon Prince will supply the mustard.

“Our expectations are to make the playoffs,” said Dallavalle. “We haven’t had this much internal competition for spots in a while, and I think the buzz is out there.

“We’ll be extremely young but we’ve got key veterans sprinked through out.”

Burnaby’s primary game night is Monday, 8 p.m. at the Copeland.

Teen sets new mark with hammer Dan Olson

The bright lights and crowded field may have made Burnaby’s Zuzanna Liniewski nervous, but you wouldn’t know it.

The Grade 9 athlete took it all in stride at last week’s Oregon Relay events, delivering a personal best while wielding a heavier hammer.

The Royal City Track and Field Club member finished 11th in a field of 17 in the high school girls hammer throw event, in what was just her second compe-

tition ever.

Her distance of 31.64 metres established a new personal high mark, and was accomplished with a four-kilogram senior hammer.

More impressive, each of her throws topped the previous one, as the Burnaby North student continued to gain confidence with the hammer and her surroundings.

“For (Liniewski) this was a real happy moment,” said Royal City coach Sean Dixon. “She’s just in Grade 9 and learning the hammer

throw. She went in quite nervous, but the goal was to get over 30m, and her first toss she did it. Every throw was better than the last.”

It was part of an excellent showing for the group of Burnaby athletes in attendance. Michelle Dadson, a St.Thomas More Knights athlete, placed seventh in the shotput, with a throw of 11.55m. Fellow Knight Shiloh Corrales Nelson placed 35th overall.

Dadson was also 12th in the hammer throw, reaching 30.61m with her toss, and 28th in the discus. In 32nd

place was STM’s Kennedy Feenan.

In the javelin, Giovanna Janes placed 31st overall, while Feenan ended up in 38th.

On the boys side, STM’s foursome of Buljevic, Ciccone, DaSilva and Mian came in 20th in the 4x200m relay.

Emmanuel Dadson finished 30th in the triple jump and 32nd in the long jump. In the 200m dash, Aaron Fields placed 37th, while Devon Hayek came in 41st.
