Feds vow to push pipeline

But a stunning court ruling means the National Energy Board review would have to start all over again Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The Trans Mountain pipeline project was delivered a stunning blow by the Federal Court of Appeal on Thursday – leaving the future of the project in doubt even as the federal government vows to continue.

The court said the National Energy Board did not properly consult First Nations about Kinder Morgan Canada’s project.

The ruling said that during the NEB permit process, Canada acted in “good faith” when consulting but later fell “well short of the mark” in properly consulting First Nations during the third and final stage.

The NEB will have to restart its review of the expansion project.

The ruling came within hours of Kinder Morgan Canada Ltd. shareholders voting more than 99 per cent in favour of the sale of the Trans Mountain pipeline and its expansion project to the federal government for $4.5 billion.

Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau said his government plans to go ahead with the sale, but has yet to decide exactly how it will respond to the ruling.

“We will analyze this decision and respond promptly,” he said. “We’re looking forward to moving forward with the conclusion of this process.”

The news was met almost immediately with calls from Indigenous groups to stop the project, once and for all.The Squamish Nation called on Prime Minister

Justin Trudeau to abandon the proposed expansion.

“This decision reinforces our belief as a nation and as part of the coastal communities in which we live that the Trans Mountain expansion project must not proceed and we tell the prime minister to start listening and put an end to this type of relationship,” Squamish councillor and spokesperson Khelsilem said in a statement.

“It is time for Prime Minister Trudeau to do the right thing and stand by his words.”

It was the relationship between Canada and First Nations that ultimately led to the decision.

“Canada failed in Phase III to engage, dialogue meaningfully and grapple with the real concerns of the Indigenous applicants so as to explore possible accommodation of those concerns,” the decision reads.

“The duty to consult was not adequately discharged.”

“Missing was a genuine and sustained effort to pursue meaningful, two-way dialogue.Very few responses were provided by Canada’s representatives in the consultation meetings. … More was required of Canada.”

The decision “quashed” the government’s 2016 approval of the pipeline, which was based upon on those flawed consultations, the court ruled.

The project and Kinder Morgan had won a long string of court cases related to the project, but this ruling covered a wide range of lawsuits.

City spent $30,000 to oust camp

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The takedown of Camp Cloud cost the City of Burnaby $30,665, according to the municipality’s director of corporate services.

Dipak Dattani said the Aug. 16 operation that saw dozens of city employees working long hours to clear the site at the corner of Shellmont Street and Underhill Avenue “generally went well from our perspective.”

The protest encampment was initially cleared of campers shortly after 5:30 a.m. by members of the RCMP from Burnaby and other area detachments.

Police presence: RCMP officers block a path to the site of Camp Cloud.

Eleven people were removed from the camp, five of whom were arrested.

At about 7:45 a.m., city crews took control of the site and began the long process of documenting all the items of the camp, clear-

ing out garbage and taking down the various wooden structures.

By 8 p.m., the site had been completely cleared with a new concrete barricade installed in its place.

Personal belongings were

not thrown out, Dattani said. Instead, they were photographed, itemized and held for camp members to later claim.The city was under no legal obligation to do this, he said.

“We have always indicated that we will dismantle the facilities in a safe and in a respectful manner,” Dattani said. “And we believe that we wanted to take that added step to take the possessions and make sure that we separate them and secure them and provide them to the rightful owners.”

The campers have until Sept. 15 to claim the items.

Dattani said some items have been reclaimed.

‘We are winning,’ says Tsleil-Waututh leader Winning court challenge was led by two local First Nations - the court agreed they weren’t properly consulted Brent Richter

editorial@burnabynow.com

The successful court challenge of the Trans Mountain pipeline project was called a victory for Indigenous rights – with the suit being led by Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish First Nations.

There was a jubilant atmosphere when the First Nations at the centre of the case gathered on the shore of Burrard Inlet in Vancouver to formally respond to the ruling Thursday morning.

“We are winning,” declared Rueben George, manager of the Tsleil-Waututh Sacred Trust Initiative. “At the beginning, I remember people saying this is a David and Goliath fight. And it’s true.The spirit of the people that I feel behind me was too big for Kinder Morgan. It was too big.”

The court decision means that federal approvals of the pipeline project are essentially quashed until the issues of consulting First Nations are adequately addressed.

In its written ruling, justices of the federal court noted that means more than simply allowing Indigenous peoples “to blow off steam” before the Crown proceeds to do what it always intended to do.

“The meeting notes show little or no meaningful responses from the Crown consultation team to the concerns of the Indigenous applicants. Instead, too often Canada’s response was to acknowledge

JUBILATION: Members of the Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish First Nations celebrate on Thursday. the concerns and to provide assurance the concerns would be communicated to the decision-makers,” the court noted.

Speaking for the Squamish Nation, elected council member Khelsilem welcomed the decision.

“They must stop picking fights with Indigenous people.We will win.We won today.We will win again,” he said to applause. “The

project is stopped in its tracks right now.They must behave honourably.They must go back to the drawing board.This whole process must be restarted.”

Tsleil-Waututh Nation Chief Maureen Thomas took a more peacemaking tone, saying numerous times she did not see the dispute as a fight but rather a critical step towards bringing people to-

gether to the cause of the environment for future generations.

“In 2015, I stood across the inlet at Cates Park and I said it was a very sad day because we had to go to court to fight Canada. I want to remind and let everybody know it’s not our nature to fight.

We don’t want to fight you.We don’t want to fight Canada.Today, the court came back in a favour-

able decision for us, and we all have to step back and think: ‘What does this really mean for Canada?’” she said. “I really believe today is a turning point for all of us, and I don’t want to just say the Indigenous people.Today is a day for all of us to come together to build a strong relationship, to work together, to find a way to ensure your children, my children have a world that is going to sustain them in the future.”

Trans Mountain released a statement in response to the ruling saying the company would be suspending construction-related activities while it reviews the decision and assesses its next steps.

“We remain committed to building this project in consideration of communities and the environment, with meaningful consultation with Indigenous peoples and for the benefit of Canadians,” Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said in a statement.

Despite the celebratory tone, George acknowledged the pipeline question would most likely go to the Supreme Court of Canada.

“Our chief was asked … if we need to go to the Supreme Court.

She didn’t skip a heartbeat and said ‘We’re ready. If it comes to that.’ I believe the other nations up here are ready for the same thing.

This is a victory, but we’re ready to push right across the finish line.

We always said we’d do what it takes to win.”

NEB failed to consider tanker traffic: ruling

Continued from page 1 The case decided on Thursday combined nearly two dozen lawsuits calling for the NEB’s review of the project to be overturned.

First Nations, including the Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish on British Columbia’s south coast, argued the federal government did not adequately consult them before the energy board review or the cabinet decision to approve the project.

The ruling also outlined another flaw in the NEB process – saying that a “critical error” was made in regards to the consideration of tanker traffic in waters around Burnaby and Vancouver, and beyond.

“The unjustified exclusion of marine shipping from the scope of the project led to successive, unacceptable deficiencies in the [NEB’s] report and recommendations,” the ruling said.

That exclusion made the NEB report unreliable for the government when as-

sessing the project, the court found.

“Of course we’re very happy with the decision,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said, adding that the ruling is “one that I think reflects many of the issues that we have raised throughout the hearings.”

Corrigan pointed to the NEB’s decision to “artificially cut off consideration

at the inlet” as the critical factor in the decision.

“We were certainly complaining bitterly about that,” he said.

Corrigan said he doesn’t think this ruling will put the nail in the coffin of the proposed expansion project, but he said it remains a “victory for opponents of the pipeline.”

“We’ll see what the fed-

eral government decides to do,” he said. “Things are unpredictable at this stage.”

The spokesperson for a Burnaby-based anti-pipeline group said Thursday’s ruling surprised him in its condemnation of the NEB process.

“I was expecting a more mixed ruling,” said Gene McGuckin of Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder

Morgan Expansion.

McGuckin said he was in the mood to celebrate on Thursday, but he anticipates his group’s work is not done.

“My experience is there’s still a battle to be fought to make the community and the planet safer,” he said.

In a press conference, Premier John Horgan said: “This case has always been about First Nations rights.”

He said he expects the federal government to send the project back to the NEB, as suggested by the federal court.

He also acknowledged that “this decision will be devastating for many in Alberta.”

A ruling in the Indigenous groups’ favour would likely kill the multibilliondollar pipeline expansion that Canada has offered to purchase, George Hoberg, a public policy professor at the University of British Columbia, said in an interview before the decision was announced.

“If the Federal Court strikes down the permit authorizing the pipeline because of inadequate consultation, or for another reason, then I don’t see how the pipeline project can proceed – unless or until the Supreme Court reversed that decision,” he said.

The decision is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada either way, Hoberg predicted, and another 18 months to two years will pass before it’s settled.

Environmental groups and the cities of Vancouver and Burnaby also challenged the project in Federal Court last November.

They were supported by the province of British Columbia, which was an intervener.The province’s lawyer said Ottawa’s decision to approve the pipeline’s expansion between Edmonton and Metro Vancouver was based on a broad base of evidence that considered environmental, economic and Indigenous interests.

NEW HOMES: This is what a sample unit would look like in the supportive housing project proposed in Burnaby.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Project receives clear support Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A proposed housing project that promises to provide vulnerable people with the supports they need received some critical support of its own at a recent public hearing.

All seven people who addressed Burnaby city council at a Tuesday public hearing spoke in favour of a rezoning application that would allow a 52-unit housing complex on Norland Avenue.

The former medical health officer for the region said supports for people suffering from mental illnesses improved significantly

during her time in Burnaby from 1995 to her retirement in 2014.

“Quite a lot has been accomplished,” Dr. Nadine Loewen said. “But the big stumbling stone still has been housing.”

The proposed project is part of the province’s Rapid Response to Homelessness program.The NDP government has pledged $7.6 million to build the homes at 3986 Norland Ave. Burnaby-based Progressive Housing Society will manage the site slated to open next spring.

The small studio apartments will include bathrooms, kitchens and beds.

Residents will have access

to a full suite of services, including laundry, life-skills training, health care and meal programs.

For many people struggling with mental health challenges, a safe and secure place to rest their head will make a world of difference, Loewen said.

“Housing is such an important element for a person. It includes their health and quality of life, it offers them stability,” she said.

“You only have to think how hard it would be at the best of times to run your life if you were living under a tree or under a bridge.”

Garth Evans, vice-president of Progressive Housing, also spoke in favour of

the project, as did a pastor involved with Burnaby’s homelessness task force.

Cory Redekop, Burnaby Board of Trade’s manager of policy and stakeholder relations, also addressed council. He said the board and its members support the project for several reasons, including its location near the highway away from any busy commercial areas.

Board members also support the project due to its wraparound supports for residents.

“The mantra is housing first, but it can’t be housing only,” Redekop said.

The rezoning application will be up for final approval at a future council meeting.

Burnaby RCMP is sounding the alarm after a spike in so-called “sextortion” incidents in the city.

Since May, local police have investigated 24 of the incidents, which involved perpetrators threatening to release shared intimate videos, images or explicit messages online unless the victim pays them off, usually via Bitcoin or a money transfer.

“It is essentially blackmail,” states a Burnaby RCMP press release.

Police are asking the public to be extra vigilant when communicating with strangers online.

DIFFERENT SCENARIOS According to Burnaby RCMP, sextortion incidents can be broken down into two different scenarios: In the first scenario, the victim receives an unsolicited friend request via social media.The suspect will then engage the victim in online chat and ask to take the conversation to a video sharing platform.

The suspect will then ask the victim to engage in some form of sexual activity including nudity and/or masturbation.

The suspect will then end the session and tell the victim they have a video recording of their conversation.

The suspect will then

threaten to release the video to the victim’s friends via social media unless the victim makes a payment.

In the second scenario, the victim receives an unsolicited email from someone claiming to have a pornographic video of the victim.

The suspect says in the email that the video will be sent to all of the victim’s email contacts unless they make a payment.

The suspect may also email the victim stating they will expose the victim’s use of porn sites, according to police.

Again, the suspect will then ask for payment via Bitcoin or money transfer.

In some instances, the suspect may have old email or website passwords the victim has used in the past.

HANDLING A SEXTORTION ATTEMPT To counter sextortion, police are advising web users to be careful of who they engage with online and to be mindful their actions may be recorded.

If faced with a sextortion scenario, police recommend not complying with any threat, stopping all forms of communication with the suspect, keeping the correspondence you have had with the individual and reporting the incident to the police immediately.

You learning to use naloxone could save a life

Today (Friday, Aug. 31) is International Overdose Awareness Day. Yes, we know, you just want to get your long weekend started, but it’s really important that you pay attention to this – someone’s life could depend on it.

The reason for the event is to raise awareness about the number of fatal overdoses in our communities in order to ultimately reduce them.

Fraser Health took the extraordinary step on Monday of conducting a live

demonstration showing how to properly administer naloxone, according to a press release from the health authority.

The live demonstration took place on Fraser Health’s Facebook page, where viewers could follow along and ask questions in real time.

“The tragedy of overdose deaths is preventable because overdoses are reversible if they are responded to early enough. Our opioid prevention and response strategy includes the expan-

The tragedy of overdose deaths is preventable because overdoses are reversible. sion of naloxone availability.

Naloxone saves lives by effectively reversing overdoses,” said Dr. Aamir Bharmal, Fraser Health medical health officer.

“Even if you have had naloxone training, it is important to refresh those skills on a regular basis

through practice and online training.”

The Facebook Live session was part of a five-daylong initiative by Fraser Health to educate the public on how to recognize and respond to an overdose.

Fraser Health staff were also taking part in a number

of overdose response practice drills, and the health authority is encouraging its community partners and first responders to do the same, according to the release.

Since April 2016, more than 26,000 take-home naloxone kits have been distributed by Fraser Health while more than 114,000 have been handed out provincewide.

“We are saving lives by equipping British Columbians with the right tools and the right knowledge to re-

spond to the overdose crisis,” said Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy, in the news release.

Nearly 3,000 people have died of an illegal drug overdose in British Columbia, including 106 in Burnaby, since April 2016, when the overdose crisis was declared a public health emergency.

Citizens welcome a casino inquiry

A few days before British Columbia Attorney General David Eby made public an independent report into money laundering in the province’s casinos, 76 per cent of residents polled

by Research Co. expressed support for a public inquiry into this matter.

After the report finally became public, complete with surprisingly lengthy videos where bags of cash were dragged into Metro Vancouver casinos to be converted into playing chips, more residents became aware of the situation.The outcry led to severe criticism of existing procedures and brought an abrupt end to the municipal political aspirations of the former interim leader of the BC Liberals.

Even before the report was released, a few simple rules were implemented.Would-be gamblers now need to declare the source of any cash deposits over $10,000 at casinos, and “high limit” table gambling is now forbidden. But are these actions enough to generate confidence in the British Columbia Lottery Corporation and its ability to oversee casinos? The answer, at this point, is no.

Earlier this month, Research Co. asked British Columbians about this issue again, and the result was exactly the same as in June: 76 per cent of residents believe the provincial government should “definitely” or “probably” call a public inquiry into money laundering in casinos.

The proportion of British Columbians who call for an inquiry did not change over the past two months, part-

ly because it was already exceedingly high. Supporters of all three provincial parties, in the surveys conducted in June and August, say they would like to see this happen.

Almost half of British Columbians (48 per cent) believe the BCLC deserves “all of the blame” or “most of the blame” for the current situation related to money laundering in casinos.This is a higher proportion of blame than what residents place at the hands of the previous BC Liberal government (39 per cent), the current BC New Democratic Party (23 NDP) government (per cent) and the RCMP (21 per cent).

In a separate question, practically four in five residents (78 per cent) voiced support for establishing an office of the Anti-Corruption Commissioner, similar to the one that has been in place in Quebec since 2011.

In essence, British Columbians are deeply distraught by this issue and many would like to see something done about it.

There is a high level of support for both a public inquiry and the establishment of a Quebec-style office that would bring clarity to tendering and eradicate corruption in the public sector.

Still, it is clear residents are not in the mood for political revenge. British Columbians are currently far more critical of the BCLC than of the politicians who oversaw its operations.

Mario Canseco is president of Research Co., a public opinion research firm, and is a contributing columnist for Glacier Media.

City votes to add meters

With coins in their eyes, Burnaby council voted 7-1 in April to endorse the concept of parking meters in the city. And while the idea would likely spark a lot of debate and anger from the public, Coun. Lee Rankin noted that the standalone money suckers were a necessary evil for a growing city. “It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it,” said Rankin, who noted the meters, approximately 600 planned for business districts around the city, would help pay for some of the more than $800,000 the city lost in provincial equalization grants the previous year.

Meters part of solution Editor: In recent weeks, we in Burnaby have been impacted by the smoke from the wildfires in many parts of B.C., which have led to the current state of emergency and 2018 being the worst B.C. wildfire season on record.

Also in recent weeks there has been commentary in the Burnaby NOW about the city parking meters in the area of Lake City Way SkyTrain station. While the money paid into the parking meters may seem to some to be the purpose of the meters, it is important to note that some commentary regarding the meters has been that they are leading to some folks taking the bus and not driving their cars to the station. There are many actions in the Burnaby Environmental Sustainability Strategy and new transportation plan that encourage people to walk, bike or use public transportation where possible, i.e. rather than use their cars.

It is important for all of us to be mindful of the impact of automobile emissions on global warming. Car pollution is one of the major causes of global warming. Increasingly hot and dry climates have led to a worsening of wildfires, which further worsen climate change by killing trees that have a role in clean air quality.

Court ignores our bylaws

Editor: The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear a case involving the Trans Mountain pipeline, effectively upholding earlier rulings that found the National Energy Board can override

local bylaws when it comes to federally approved energy projects. The NEB ruled that Kinder Morgan could ignore City of Burnaby tree bylaws as it prepared for construction on the Trans Mountain expansion. Burnaby challenged the ruling but lost at the Federal Court of Appeal, whose decision now stands. Kinder Morgan announces that Trans Mountain is starting the expansion project at the Burnaby terminal (which is right next to our neighbourhood) in mid-September. Their working hours take place between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday. And there is nothing we can do because the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that Kinder Morgan could ignore City of Burnaby bylaws.

Kindness appreciated Editor: I injured my hand at our Burnaby Farmers Market on Saturday, Aug. 25, and I wanted to acknowledge the three ladies who were so helpful taking care of me.

When my daughter approached a lady who had a volunteer badge on as to whether there was a first aid area, this very nice lady (I wish I could remember her name) took us right to the customer information desk, where a young lady named Emma quickly pulled out the first aid kit. While the two of them were attending me, along came a lady who was the manager; she immediately took over my daughter, who was about to faint. Kudos to all three of them.

P.S. The hand is fine.

City now Telus wins latest round in quest to fire tardy staffer Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Telus has won the latest round in a battle to fire a worker for chronic tardiness.

The telecommunications company dismissed the employee, who had worked at its Burnaby call centre from 2011 to 2014, after she racked up 169 minutes’ worth of late arrivals to work and 570 minutes of time returning late from breaks, according to a B.C. Court of Appeal ruling.

Over three years, she had

been late 194 times.

After accumulating a lengthy disciplinary record, mostly because of her tardiness, she was fired on Nov. 12, 2014.

But her union, the Telecommunications Workers Union, grieved the dismissal, and an arbitrator ruled the employee should be punished with an unpaid three-month suspension with no loss of seniority instead of being fired.

The arbitrator concluded the employee’s health problems, including neck pain,

headaches, anxiety and depression, hadn’t caused her lateness, and that Telus had been justified in imposing discipline, but the arbitrator ruled the termination had been “excessive in the circumstances,” according to court documents.

Telus applied for a judicial review of the arbitrator’s decision, but that application was dismissed by a B.C. Supreme Court judge.

In a 2-1 decision last Friday, however, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled to allow Telus’s appeal to have

the arbitrator’s decision reviewed.

Justices Peter Willcock and Gregory James Fitch

agreed the arbitrator had inconsistently dealt with the duty owed by Telus to the tardy employee.

The judges set aside the original arbitrator’s decision, and the case will now go back to arbitration.

An identity theft investigation led Burnaby RCMP’s prolific offender suppression team to the house, located in the 7600 block of Rosewood Street, on Aug. 9.

Two people were arrested during the investigation after allegedly being found in possession of fraudulent identification and materials used to make fraudulent identification.

Burnaby guitarist gets his star on StarWalk David Sinclair named to B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame in recognition of his 50-year career Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

David Sinclair may just be the epitome of Canadianness.

He could have an ego the size of this vast country, given the length of his career and the breadth of his musical resumé.You know, the kind of career that lands you in the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame and gets you a star on the Granville StarWalk for your “significant contribution to the province’s entertainment industry and cultural landscape.”

He could let that go to his head. Or he could be a softspoken, unassuming kind of guy who’s really just a regular dad and granddad and thinks he’s pretty lucky to still be doing what he loves.

Yeah, he’s that second kind of guy.

Ask him about his fivedecade-long career as a guitarist, and he smiles.

“You just go on through the years and things come up,” he says. “I’ve been very fortunate in that things come up. I’ve always been one to try new things. …

“If there’s a guitar in sight, I kind of have to play it.”

He’s been hooked on the guitar since the age of eight, when his granny arrived at his house with an instrument. He didn’t exactly intend on a career in the music industry; that just sort of happened naturally.

“Stuff just kept coming up,” he says. “I never had to make a decision what I wanted to do, because I was just doing it.”

He did study music at UBC – where, he cheerfully admits, he “failed miserably” after his first year because he was spending all his time hanging around at Vancouver Recording Studio.There, recording engi-

neer and producer Robin Spurgin, one of the Vancouver music scene’s legendary pioneers, saw something special in the teenage kid.

Spurgin would let Sinclair sit in on recording sessions and sometimes take part – he’d play guitar or tambourine, or add background vocals.

Sinclair was there for the early years of such big names as The Collectors and Chilliwack.

“I got to see how the established guys worked,” Sinclair says.

It’s been one gig after another ever since. His career has included his own solo, duo and band work (remember the’80s bands Straight Lines and Body Electric?).

He’s played pop, rock, jazz, musical theatre; he’s recorded TV and radio jingles; he’s played with choirs and orchestras (ask him about that time he may have slightly overstated his mandolin playing abilities for a gig with the VSO).

Over the decades, he’s been heard by countless fans as a studio guitarist for a Who’s Who of the Canadian music world – Michael Bublé, Sarah McLachlan, Rita MacNeil, Raffi, the Irish Rovers, Gary Fjellgaard,Terry Jacks and a whole host more.

“I think one of my great strengths is that I can support people in what they do.

I can use what I do to make them better,” he says.

Sinclair has nothing but good things to say about the stars he’s worked with over the years.

“The people I’ve worked with have been great people.

Everyone’s really been nice and great to work with,” he says, adding he knows that experience may not be the norm in the music industry. “I talk to other musi-

CANADIAN STAR: Burnaby guitarist David Sinclair has just been named to the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame, in recognition of a fivedecade career that has included working with some of the biggest names in Canadian music. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED cians, and that isn’t always the case.”

Sinclair has also toured extensively – he travelled with k.d. lang on her Ingenue and AllYou Can Eat tours and spent a decade in McLachlan’s band on her Surfacing, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and Lilith Fair tours.

“It’s great when you’re on a big tour and a big stage, and it’s full of people and you’ve got someone tuning your instrument and handing it to you, and you feel like a big deal,” he says with a laugh.

Like that time he played with McLachlan on The Tonight Show – he had his guitar handed to him, played live in front of millions of viewers, got a limousine ride to the airport.

Then he went home.

“We get to Vancouver and it’s November and it’s freezing cold, and my son has a Real EstateWeekly paper route and he’s sick,” Sinclair recalls with a laugh. “Twenty-four hours later, I’m de-

livering the Real EstateWeekly.”

It’s that kind of experience that kept him grounded and rooted right here at home in Burnaby, where he and his wife, Christine, raised their children and continue to live.

He has seen other musicians leave for the bright

If there’s a guitar in sight, I kind of have to play it

lights of the American music scene, but he’s never been lured away himself.

“I was here, I had a lot of studio work going on, I had my family here. It didn’t make sense to pack up,” he says. “The opportunities that I had here were really good, getting to work with top people in town.”

These days, he’s con-

tinuing to work on multiple fronts – he’s in production on four different projects as we speak – but his primary focus is playing in a duo with harmonica player Keith Bennett.

They were introduced by a mutual friend who thought they should work together, and eight years later, Sinclair & Bennett are still going strong.

“We have diverse backgrounds, and we try anything,” Sinclair says. “People see us with a harmonica and an acoustic guitar and they have preconceptions of what they’re going to hear – and we blow all that away.”

They’ll be playing a celebratory concert, marking Sinclair’s entry into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame, on Saturday, Sept.

29 at Blue Frog Studios in White Rock.

And Sinclair, for one, can’t wait.

“I’ve played the Royal Albert Hall, I’ve played Madison Square Gardens, but I

also get the same charge out of playing a house concert with Keith,” he says.

And, for the record, Sinclair has no plans to slow down his career any time soon.

As for retirement? “I don’t know how to do that,” he says with a smile.

Music is a rewarding career, he says, precisely because it keeps evolving.

“There’s always something to learn, it doesn’t ever end,” he says. “For me it’s the continual growth that’s exciting.You can always come up with something brand new, and it leads somewhere else.”

HEAR DAVID SINCLAIR PLAY IN SEPTEMBER Tickets for the Saturday, Sept. 29 Sinclair & Bennett concert at Blue Frog Studios are $44. Doors open at 6 p.m., with music at 7 p.m.The concert is for ages 19 and up. See www.bluefrogstudios.ca for details.

Looking back: A few highlights from David Sinclair’s career so far !

Communitynow Time to tame tech-addicted tots Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

“When you were a kid, what did you do for fun?”

Nature Valley posed this question to three generations of “real families” in a hard-hitting commercial that aired in 2015 and has worked its way back into the viral video rotation on Facebook.

In response to the question, grandmas and grandpas offer endearing tales of blueberry picking and fishing. Moms and dads share their stories of playing street hockey and fort building outdoors. And then – cue the record scratch – today’s generation of children are asked the same question.

Their response? A jolting unanimous vote for video games.

In the commercial, one teenaged boy even shares, “Whenever I feel upset, I play video games, and I feel normal. It’s really wonder-

ful!” In viewing his response (on a tablet nonetheless), the boy’s mom and grandfather wipe tears from their eyes.You can see it on their faces, and the sorrow seems to seep through the screen to us guilt-ridden parents who are watching in awe through our own devices.

The message is received loud and clear: we, as a generation, are failing our children.

Just when you think you’ve lost all hope in humankind, the final words glow across the screen against the background of a young boy gallivanting gleefully through the woods: “Nature has always been a part of childhood. Let’s make sure it doesn’t stop with us.”

Great marketing, but an even greater message.

When I first watched the ad, I immediately felt guilty. I wondered to myself: Is that what my children would say if asked the same question? Am I letting them have too much screen

time? And, more dreadfully, are they sharing this reality with others?

I was surprised by the reactions of other viewers when scrolling through the comment thread of the shared video.While I had assumed that other parents would react similarly, some of the viewers seemed to have completely missed the message.

“It’s not even safe for children to be playing outside and doing the fun physical things that other generations had the opportunity to do.This generation will become more and more isolated,” expresses one woman in a recent comment, totally off base and misinformed on the safety stats of today.

“There were only three or four TV channels back then, and there was nothing else to do. Now there are so many, they don’t have to play outside!” shared another commenter, obviously the result of a screen-raised generation.

I know it’s just a well-

crafted ad, but it serves as a great reminder. Not that our children have become helpless, tech-addicted robots, but that we, as the parents, need to regain control.

It’s time to take away the screens and send them outside to play.

I think that special connection with nature that many of us had experienced as children still exists today, it’s just that as parents, we’ve been presented with more obstacles to face, that have hindered our efforts in keeping that connection strong for our kids.

There are great benefits that come with technology, but it has also become all-consuming – not only for our kids, but for us as parents, too.We need to remember to unplug, and put more effort into nurturing that much-needed connection with nature. For our kids, and for ourselves.

Relive TrudeauMania at the Fringe Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Hot on the heels of our piece in the Wednesday (Aug. 29) paper outlining Burnaby connections to Vancouver Fringe shows, we’ve learned about one more.

While you’re checking out Burnaby connections at this year’s Fringe, don’t miss TrudeauMania.This 90-minute show looks at the life and rise to power of the original Prime Minister Trudeau – Pierre, that is. It starts in 1946, with a young Pierre in Paris, and follows him to his win at the 1968 Liberal leadership convention and his life thereafter – his secret engagement to the 21-year-old Margaret, his meeting at Parliament with John Lennon andYoko Ono, and the dark days in

October 1970 when he invoked the War Measures Act to crush the FLQ. It has a couple of Burnaby ties: director Daniel McLeod lived in Burnaby for five years while pursuing his studies at SFU, and Jacob Ross, who’s in charge of lights, soundscape and production design, is a current theatre student at SFU. It`s on at the Firehall Arts Centre Sept. 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15 and 16. Check out www.vancouverfringe.com for all the schedule and ticket information.

Workplace violence an issue for health-care employees Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

Workplace violence isn’t much of an issue for most workers – but it’s still an issue that needs addressing in many fields.

The latest call for better protection of workers from violence is in health care.

The BC Nurses’ Union is calling for security in every unit at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam after two nurses were recently assaulted. One was treated for severe facial injuries while the other suffered head injuries after being sucker-punched.

This is not a new request, though, as the nurses’ union has been asking for more help to prevent violence in the workplace for several years.

The Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam has been identified as one of the four most violent work sites in health care, with patients

waiting who have been deemed too at-risk to be in public, or patients awaiting a diagnosis, explained Christine Sorensen, president of the B.C. Nurses’ Union.

“If they’re at-risk to the public, they’re at-risk to staff,” she said, adding that

If they’re at-risk to the public, they’re at-risk to staff

these are the most clinically challenged patients. “Nurses go to work with the intent to provide the best possible care.”

Sorensen said the nurses from the forensic unit tell her that they see violence on every shift, from being pushed, yelled at or pinched. She said having

protection officers, security guards, on each unit, would help de-escalate situations that might potentially harm the health-care staff.

“I don’t think it’s too much to ask to protect the health and potential life of your staff,” Sorensen said.

Statistics from WorkSafe BC show that the health care and social services sector has the most claims resulting from violence in the workplace. Over a 10-year period, from 2006 to 2015, there were 9,231 violencerelated claims filed with WorkSafeBC by health-care and social service workers, which accounted for more than 60 per cent of all violence-related claims to the provincial body.

The sector experiencing the second highest level of violence was education, but this only accounted for eight per cent of violencerelated claims.

Violence is a daily concern Continued from page 20 assistants and patient-service associates accounted for 41 per cent of all healthcare/social services violence claims, while 18 per cent of claims came from registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses. Social and community service workers also accounted for 18 per cent, while licensed practical nurses accounted for 13 per cent of violence-related claims.

WorkSafeBC includes in these statistics people working in hospitals, long-term care facilities, home and community care, ambulances, transition homes, facilities dealing with at-risk youth and counselling and other related social service jobs In 2015, of the 9,165 total health-care claims by health-care and social service workers, 13 per cent were related to violence.

Claims from this sector accounted for 63 per cent of loss-time claims.

Sprains and strains to the back, shoulders and wrists

are the most common type of injury, accounting for two-thirds of the total, and this resulted largely from kicking, hitting or beating.

Sorensen said her union has been sounding the alarm on violence in health care since 2014, and she is “disappointed” that more hasn’t been done by the provincial government despite promises.

Sorensen said some employers have expressed concerns that having protection officers in the units would interfere with the therapeutic care, but she said a protection officer could help de-escalate and regain control of the situation.

For too long, she said, government, health authorities and even societies have asked, “isn’t this part of your job?”

“It is not part of a nurse’s job to be assaulted – or any health-care worker,” Sorensen said.

In addition to the four top-priority worksites, the BCNU has identified six other sites for violence pre-

vention, including Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.

The other five are Mills Memorial in Terrace,The Views in Comox, Royal Jubilee in Victoria, Penticton Regional Hospital and Hilltop House, a long-term care facility in Squamish.

Kendra Strauss, a director and associate professor of the Labour Studies Program at SFU, said with an aging population, acute care needs have increased and are complex.

As part of a study of workers in aging cities, researchers are hearing that workers say they are rushed and short-staffed, Strauss said.This causes stress for the patients and may cause them to lash out.

“The issues of violence is being raised by workers themselves,” Strauss said.

They need to be able to establish routines and maintain those routines as well as have stability in staffing to minimize the impact to patients, Strauss added.

For more than a century, the union presence in B.C. has improved the lives of all working people.

The new province-wide Community Benefits Agreement continues this tradition. All workers on key public-sector construction projects will get fair wages, fair treatment and a high standard of workplace safety. Local hiring will mean good jobs for women, Indigenous people and apprentices, leaving a legacy of skills and practical experience. On Labour Day 2018 we pay tribute to those who built B.C.’s labour movement as a force for positive change, and we look forward to a time of opportunity for all. Join us.

special to the Burnaby NOW

Working people and their families will be celebrating in communities across the province this Labour Day long weekend. It’s the end of summer, and the one day in the year where workers’ contributions to our economy, our social well-being and our communities are recognized.

Thousands will be participating in labour-organized events in communities across the province. In the Lower Mainland, many union members will spend the day at the PNE fair with their families – where they’ll be joined by Premier John Horgan.

For me, this Labour Day is dedicated to two struggles – one where working people are on the picket lines fighting for fairness and respect at work, the other for better employment standards protections to safeguard vulnerable workers from exploita-

WHERE BC’S PROFESSIONALS COME WHEN THEY NEED A UNION

Time to level the playing field

Professionals in BC are struggling with some serious issues: excessive overtime, limited job security, lack of a pension, less say in the workplace and stagnant wages. A union that knows professionals can help.

Continued from page 22 enforcement, and tied the hands of government officials so that they couldn’t proactively investigate violations.

The labour movement in B.C. has a proud tradition of fighting to improve wages, conditions and protections for all workers – including those who aren’t currently union members. A recent example is our Fight For $15 Campaign, where we successfully mobilized support to give B.C.’s lowest-paid employees a raise by increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

We believe that improvements to basic employment laws to better protect workers are long overdue.That’s why these changes are a key element in our new Level the Playing Field Campaign launched earlier this year, which also seeks to: " Restore fairness and balance in the labour code to remove barriers imposed by the BC Liberals for workers to join unions to improve wages and conditions; " Make workplaces safe

and improve workers’ compensation payments for those who are injured or killed on the job; and " Provide better access to apprenticeships and training to tackle skill shortages and create opportunities for future workers.

Our proposals for employment standards reform focus on ensuring that all workers have access to paid

Forcing workers to go to work sick is bad for all of us sick leave.We recently surveyed more than 1,300 workers in B.C. on the topic of sick leave. Nearly half the workers we heard from do not have access to paid sick leave. Many of these were younger, part-time and lower-paid employees who can’t afford to lose pay.

No paid sick leave means that when workers are ill, most of them go to work – and it’s not just that they

need the income to make ends meet.We found that many aren’t permitted to take an unpaid sick day unless they can find someone else to replace them.

Forcing workers go to work sick is bad for all of us because it reduces productivity, lengthens recovery time, makes others sick and can even put people’s lives at risk.We call for paid sick days to be made available to all working people in the Employment Standards Act. Our new NDP provincial government has made a number of important commitments to improve the lives of working people in B.C.We believe that can be accomplished through better employment standards, safer workplaces, fairness and balance in labour laws, and better access to apprenticeships and skills training programs to create more opportunities for good-paying work. We need to level the playing field for workers sooner, rather than later.

Irene Lanzinger is president of the 500,000-member BC Federation of Labour.

WE WORK FOR YOU. WE CARE ABOUT YOU.

Like many parents, I want to believe my nine-year-old daughter will grow up in a world that allows her to reach her full potential.

A world in which she, along with her peers, will be able to find decent and meaningful work; a world in which she will be able to build a future that includes a home and a family of her own; a world in which she will not be discriminated against because of her race, gender, sexual orientation, ability or any other characteristic.

However, where we should be seeing progress, recent setbacks are cause for concern. In fact, a recent poll by Angus Reid found that more Canadians believe their children’s generation will be worse off than their own.

I want to comfort those who harbour these fears by telling them the country’s

unions are working hard to bring progress back.

Much of my work is motivated by the conviction that unions are helping to build a better world for all of our children. After all, it is they who will inherit the legacy we leave behind.

We can all be optimistic because the advances unions make have wider implications across all of society, positively impacting every worker and their family. Unions have won paid maternity and paternity leaves, shorter work weeks and safer workplaces. More recently, unions have secured better public pensions, a ban on asbestos and much more.

These days, we are advocating for a number of causes that will have a tangible impact on the bottom line of many family budgets.We are working on winning prescription drug coverage for everyone; we are helping prepare workers for a green economy; and we are ad-

vocating for pay equity and harassment-free workplaces.

All of these issues matter because the health and well-being of our communities matter.That’s why Labour Day means so much to me and to countless others.

It’s a day to remember what we’re striving for.

I’m proud of our progress but keenly aware of the challenges ahead.There are conservative forces across Canada insisting on rolling back social progress and wanting to put barriers back up for working folks while making it easier for the rich to get richer.

These forces threaten our collective future and potentially hinder the contributions we are making towards building a brighter future for every child.What they can never do is weaken our determination in helping make Canada a better place for all.

HassanYussuff is the president of the Canadian Labour Congress.

28th Annual Salute to Labour Unions

Workplaces are safer and better because of unions Chris Campbell ccampbell@burnabynow.com

A story came through my Twitter feed recently about Japanese workers.

Some of them are literally working themselves to death. One woman was found dead with her cellphone in her hand – she had

logged 159 overtime hours in a month.The pressure on many urban office workers in Japan is to work longer and longer hours – to the detriment of their physical and mental health.

They even have a word for it – karoshi, meaning occupational sudden mortality – which is alarming all on its own.

We North Americans might scoff at that ever happening here, but I don’t think workers in some industries are that far off.

Look, for instance, at the tech industry.There are countless articles detailing the unreal expectations placed on many software developers to not leave the office and keep working

prepared

working

for you

to finish looming projects.

Many of these companies offer free food, ping-pong tables and comfy couches – not really out of the goodness of their hearts but to make it easier for workers to stay at work.

Apart from long hours, there is also the issue of workplace safety that is putting many employees at risk.

The worst example is perhaps a few years ago when an overloaded van carrying farm workers crashed with multiple fatalities because there were no real seats – just homemade wood benches – and no seatbelts.

I personally covered the death of Maple Ridge gas station attendant Grant De Patie, who was killed trying to stop someone trying to pull a gas-and-dash stunt.

It was believed that DePatie was trying to stop the driver because he feared being docked pay to cover the cost of the stolen gas. He was run over and dragged to his death.

I mention all these examples because I want to give

a shout-out to all of the organized labour and advocacy groups that are out there working to protect people.

The Labour Day holiday in Canada arrived at a time when print workers in Toronto were battling just to get a nine-hour day (yes, nine hours). It was also at a time when workers feared losing their factory jobs to automation.

Take a moment to thank all of these groups …

As you can see, 1872 (the time of the first known Labour Day event) might have been a long time ago, but in 2018 people are still dying on the job, working too many hours, and fearing that their jobs will be replaced by automation (hello driverless cars and our future robot overlords!).

The death of the farmworkers in that van pro-

duced new workplace regulations that were pushed by advocacy groups representing such workers. Grant’s Law requiring pay-at-thepump changes came directly out of the De Patie family’s lobbying of the provincial government (although, sadly, the BC Liberal government later allowed those changes to be watered-down throughWorkSafe BC).

Other advocacy groups are fighting to ensure federal temporary foreign workers are not exploited by unscrupulous fast-food outlet owners who find ways to claw back their wages. And, finally, there are many unions working to ensure their members are protected, as well as lobbying various levels of government to pass regulations to protect workers even further.

So on this Labour Day, take a moment to thank all of these groups and unions out there making the working world a better and safer place.

We are deeply saddened to announce the peaceful passing of Mary, our dearly loved Mom, Grandma, “Great Gram,” aunt, and friend after a very brief illness. Mary was born into the Gifford and Wintemute families - early New Westminster pioneers - and grew up surrounded by lively, industrious characters and “good souls.”

Mary was predeceased by her beloved husband Bob, sisters Norma and Gerry, niece Becky and many cousins and friends of whom she was very fond. Mary will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her devoted daughters Kathy (Doug) and Debbie; adored grandchildren Heather (Ivan) and Dean (Robyn); much loved great-grandchildren Katelyn, Jonah, Nate, Matteo, and Sebastian, brother-in- law Chuck Adams, many nieces, nephews, friends and extended family.

Our amazing mom endured the challenges of advancing years with dignity, grace, and her delightful wit. For nearly a century, she graced us with her warm, loving presence and steadfast support. In her inimitable manner, Mary slipped quietly away on a beautiful summer morning with a joyful, peaceful heart. The family would like to express sincere gratitude to the staff at Victoria Heights for their devoted care over the past 10 years.

In lieu of flowers, donations to BASES Family Thrift Store, 7825 Edmonds St., Burnaby, V3N 1B9 (cheques payable to BASES) or Guildford Park Secondary Scholarship Fund (“GP Spirit Award” in memory of Mary Gifford and Bob Phelan): cheques payable to Surrey School District Scholarships c/o Guildford Park, 10707 146th St., Surrey, V3R 1T5.

Mom generously supported children and various educational initiatives throughout her life.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Victoria Heights, 230 Ross Drive, New Westminster at 2:00 p.m. on September 5th, 2018.

(An earlier Celebration of Life was held at Queen’s Ave. United Church on July 20, 2018).
