City now

A council for old white men I

Reporter Kelvin Gawley looks at why the makeup of Burnaby city council doesn’t reflect the rest of the community and why that’s not such a good thing

f Burnaby’s nine-seat council perfectly reflected the city’s adult population, there would be four or five women, five or six people from visible minority groups and three millennials.

When the new council is sworn in Nov. 5, there will be one woman and two people of colour.

“It’s always worrying and troubling when elected government doesn’t represent the demographics of our communities,” Burnaby resident and activist Harsha Walia said.

Burnaby is part of a larger trend seen across the Lower Mainland,Walia said, including in Vancouver where the election of eight women was celebrated but the election of only one person of colour raised concerns.

One exception is next door in New Westminster, which is now almost evenly spilt by gender and where voters just elected two new women of colour as councillors.

The lack of diversity can send a message to potential future leaders that perhaps they don’t belong in the halls of power,Walia said.

But, she said, it can also have a more concrete effect on decision-making in council chambers.

“There’s very specific kinds of challenges that recent immigrants and refugees face, that Indigenous people face, that single moms face, that seniors face, that youth face, that isn’t just the same,” she said. “There’s a qualitative difference in the ways that housing affordability impacts different communities based on the lived experience and their social condition and position in our community.”

Walia said one doesn’t have to be from a specific community to understand its issues, but Burnaby’s council being older, whiter and more male than the general population means its members must make an extra effort to understand the challenges of people not like them.

STRUCTURAL CHALLENGES FOR WOMEN Coun. Colleen Jordan

LACK OF DIVERSITY: The mostly white, male faces of Burnaby council. By contrast, next door in New Westminster, the council is nearly half female, and voters just elected two women of colour. PHOTO NOW FILES will be the sole woman on council for the next four years. After the last election, she was one of two women before Anne Kang left to become an NDP MLA. Two female councillors remains the high watermark in Burnaby, where three or more women have never sat at the table.

“That’s the thing about democratic processes – sometimes you end up lopsided in representation,” Jordan said. “That’s not something that you have that much control over.”

Laughing, Jordan added: “Sometimes I think it’s because women are really smart and they don’t want to take these jobs.”

But, she said, there are some structural issues that discourage women from running.The job of councillor was traditionally designed for professionals and small business owners without strict schedules, she said.

It not only disadvantages women, Jordan said, but

also shift workers and young people with full-time jobs.

That’s why retired people are over-represented, she said.

Jordan said she was “very sad” to see her fellow Burnaby Citizens Association

That’s the thing about democratic processes – sometimes you end up lopsided in representation.

member, Baljinder Narang, fall just over 200 votes short of a council seat.

“We lost a woman and an ethnic group representative, so that makes me very sad because it’s a contact with that community and

the relationship and an understanding of their culture [and] how they participate in the process,” Jordan said.

“It’s a deficit.”

But ballot-box decisions are also coloured by implicit bias, according to Walia.

When choosing between two equally qualified candidates, she said voters will often unconsciously see a man as more professional and credible than a woman.

“We have our own implicit biases and judgments about who we assume will do the job better, the ways in which we read and understand professionalism and experience,”Walia said.

MILLENNIALS SHUT OUT Young people were shut out from Burnaby council entirely this election, with the Green Party’s 24-yearold candidate, Joel Gibbs, falling nearly 1,000 votes short of a seat.

Gibbs said he is troubled by the lack of diversity on council on many fronts, from age to ethnic back-

ground to sexual orientation.

In concrete terms, Gibbs said he believes a younger city council would be less focused on building fiscal reserves and would spend more time thinking about how to design inclusive and affordable housing.

But Gibbs said his election loss has not discouraged him from staying politically engaged.

The best way to ensure the current council considers diverse perspectives in its decision-making over the next four years will be to get more fresh voices on committees, Gibbs said.

The council’s two new members, mayor-elect Mike Hurley and Joe Keithley, are both Caucasian men.That means after Nov. 5, city council will be 78 per cent white in a town that’s 63 per cent visible minority and two per cent Indigenous.

‘TOKENISM’ NOT THE ANSWER Incumbent councillor

James Wang is a Chineseborn immigrant and Sav Dhaliwal is of South Asian descent.

Wang did not respond to an interview request for this story, but his profile page on the city’s website says he is focused on “being a bridge between Burnaby’s diverse communities.”

Walia said there are no easy fixes to the issue of representation, and simply voting for or nominating someone simply because of their race, age, gender or sexual orientation amounts to “tokenism.”

“I do think it’s a lot more holistic conversation we have to have,”Walia said.

Proportional representation, council seats for representatives of local First Nations and allowing permanent residents to vote are all viable options worth exploring,Walia said.

Sanjay Jeram, a political scientist at Simon Fraser University, said ward systems and proportional representation could improve representation at city hall, but there is no panacea for the issue.

He said there is probably some truth to the notion “that not seeing yourself in government perhaps leads to disempowerment, makes people feel as though they are not listened to, makes them less likely to get involved in politics, makes them less likely to out their voice forward to their politicians.”

But Jeram said he hasn’t seen any studies proving that’s the case.

“These are all things that have been argued by philosophers,” he said.

When it comes to the policies councillors and mayors vote on – mainly zoning and taxes – diversity may be less important than at the provincial and federal level, he said.

“It certainly can’t be a good thing to have an homogenous council, [but] maybe it’s not necessarily as bad a thing as some people may make it out to be,” he said “It certainly would be better if we could have a council that naturally looked like the population that the city has.”

City now Feds invest $49.3M in Burnaby tech company But funding comes with strings for General Fusion said. “They are making a significant overall investment of $400 million in developing first-of-its-kind nuclear fusion technology, which we believe is going to position Canada as a world leader.”

The money comes with a few strings, as Bains said an investment through the Strategic Innovation Fund has set guidelines for General Fusion to meet. Priorities include hiring and maintaining at least 400 employees, commercializing research and development, and increasing the number of patents.

“They currently have 60 patents and they are looking to grow that, which will allow them to take advantage of the new technology and to make sure that they continue to play a leadership role in that area,” Bains said.

General Fusion was founded in Burnaby in 2002.

A Burnaby business leading the way in fusion energy research is getting big funding from the federal government.

The Ministry of Innovation, Science and Economic Development announced today it was investing $49.3 million in General Fusion, a clean technology company that is trying to recreate the energy of the sun for mass consumption.

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains told the NOW the investment will have a long-lasting impact on Canada’s economy and the environment.

“This is really part of an overall strategy to demonstrate that we’re making investments, not only in smart technology, but clean technology, and this will just continue to make sure Can-

ada plays a leadership role when it comes to the clean tech sector,” Bains said.

General Fusion is attempting to develop technology needed to build a fusion power plant. Fusion energy is the same energy that drives the sun, created when atoms of hydrogen are forced together and turned into helium.The energy release during the process is converted to electricity.The result is clean, emission-free energy.

“This is really, from our perspective, a very important investment for clean technology,” Bains said.

The company applied for the funding through the federal government’s Strategic Innovation Fund, and it was granted its funding request because of the company’s potential to revolutionize how energy is generated, according to the ministry.

“They made a very compelling business case,” Bains

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Battle of the acronyms coming to your mailbox

So, you thought you were finished with voting?

You thought you were done with petty politics, exaggerated claims and hysterical fear mongering?

You thought you were done having to research in order to make an informed decision?

You were mistaken.

Welcome to the exciting world of the referendum on proportional representation (we’re not being sarcastic; it really is exciting to take part in such an important referendum) – also known as

prop rep.

Or simply, PR. Ballots have been sent out and include two questions – the first will ask whether B.C. should switch from the current first-past-the-post election system (FPTP) to a system of proportional representation; the second question asks voters to rank three systems of proportional representation.

It’s important to get to know all the acronyms involved with PR, because there are a few for the different systems being looked at

to have PR replace our current voting system FPTP (hey, another acronym).

There is mixed-member proportional (MMP), dual member proportional (DMP) and rural-urban proportional (RUP). If you do want to ditch FPTP, study up on these three options. (We have a handy guide to them on page 13.)

This isn’t the first time B.C. voters have been asked about switching from the current FPTP electoral system to a form of proportional representation – refer-

endums in 2005 and 2009 were both defeated (a previous recommended system was the single transferable vote – also known as STV).

Voting packages are set to start arriving in mailboxes across the province between now and Nov. 2. Completed ballots must be returned to Elections BC by 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 30.

Complicating things are the rotating strikes from Canada Post workers.

Chief electoral officer Anton Boegman said earlier this week that the labour

dispute at Canada Post is being watched closely by Elections BC for any potential impact during the mailin referendum period. He expects the delivery of 3.3 million voter packages and ballots to be complete by Nov. 2. Boegman has the authority to add extra time to the deadline, which was done in 2011 when the voting period for a referendum on the harmonized sales tax was extended by two weeks due to a lockout at Canada Post. Packages are also being sent internationally to

registered voters who are temporarily away from their homes in B.C. Anyone who does not receive a package by Nov. 2 can request one by calling Elections BC at 1-800-6618683 or online at elections. bc.ca/ovr.The deadline to request a voting package is Nov. 23.

For more details, visit elections.bc.ca/referendum.

So, that’s a quick rundown on how the referendum works. Now all you have to do is some research and fill out the ballot.

MP’s idea would harm mountain

Re: Beech’s big idea, NOW, Oct. 19 I would like to echo the sentiments by political commentator Michael Geller regarding Burnaby NorthSeymour member of Parliament Terry Beech’s proposal to develop the southwest side of Burnaby Mountain where the Kinder Morgan Canada tank farm currently rests.

Conceived in 1974 by the City of Burnaby as a conservation effort to protect environmentally sensitive lands, the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area eventually finalized with the transfer of lands from the provincial government in 1992.

The east side of the mountain top has been developed by SFU as a residential neighbourhood for both a financial benefit to the academic community and as a synergy to increase nearby student housing options Conversely, to consider the redevelopment of the Kinder Morgan lands for residential use would deal an incredible blow to the future livability of this city.

Whether or not you’re a fan of how the city has gone about consulting residents with regards to the development within each of the town centres, the concept is sound. Create a framework to entice a high density of residents, services and employment to collocate within transit-serving nodes, in the expectation that those transit centres will build complete communities and take the weight off the road system.

This method is not only a sound way to future-proof our city in the face of rising gas prices and climate change, but it also has the advantage of taking pressure away from the urge to introduce density into single-family neighbourhoods – residential areas that are inadequately serviced by mass transit and cannot properly accommodate increased traffic or parking.

Developing the Kinder Morgan lands would not only harm the unique character of the nearby Forest Grove and Meadowood neighbourhoods, but it would also place thousands of additional automobiles on the road in a community that is too far from a transit station.

Furthermore, this development would inevitably put pressure on the ecology of the surrounding forested areas.

Not even mentioning the additional servicing costs, transit is a very expensive endeavour, and the city has thus far taken advantage of the economies of scale and land-shaping possibilities that it provides.

This recent election has impressed upon the need to improve our methods of consultation. However, let’s not throw out the baby with the bathwater – we have collectively created the groundwork for an intelligent and responsive city.

Let’s enhance our methods, and question the motives for these kinds of short-sighted, flash-in-thepan ideas.

David Pereira is a Burnaby resident.

Rude awakening for couple

A Burnaby couple got a rude awakening when two car thieves tried to evade New Westminster police by hiding in their shower and a bedroom. It started at about 2 a.m., when thieves ran a stolen pickup through the gate of an underground garage in New West.They took off at high speed toward Burnaby after being spotted by police but didn’t make the turn on 10th Avenue and smashed into a parked car, pushing it through the wall of a Burnaby house.They crawled under the parked car and into the house, trying to hide, but were nabbed by police inside.

Vote ‘no’ on prop rep Editor: British Columbians begin to cast the ballots that could change how we elect our provincial leaders. We’ll either keep our current firstpast-the-post (FPTP) system or adopt one of three new models of proportional representation (PR).

The B.C. Chamber of Commerce isn’t against PR, per se — but given how unclear the referendum process has been, we urge British Columbians to vote “no.”

A referendum of this magnitude needs to be simple and straightforward, and it should provide the clarity citizens need to make an informed decision about how our province elects its representatives. Unfortunately, the current electoral reform question does anything but.

After deciding to keep the FPTP model or switch to the vague category of PR, voters must then rank three new PR models: Dual Member, Mixed Member and Urban-Rural. Instead of being empowered to make an easily understandable choice between FPTP and a single, well-defined PR model, voters have basically been handed a ballot written in code.

The multi-step voting process is needlessly complex and does not provide an apples-toapples choice of which voting method is best for the province. The three PR options in question are incredibly complex and require deep understanding to make an informed decision. There hasn’t been adequate education for the electorate on how each model works and what each outcome would mean for British Columbians.

All of this stems from a serious lack of transpar-

ency around what’s being decided here. The current vote has the appearance of a single referendum but, because of the multi-step question, it’s actually a two-in-one deal. There are two major changes on the table: the first between our current system and the broader theory of PR, and the second between three possible models.

Did I mention two of these methods have never been tested anywhere in the world? No wonder citizens and the business community are having trouble engaging with the issue.

This vote is at a clear disadvantage to other votes on electoral reform. The 2005 and 2009 referenda required 60-per-cent voter approval overall and a simple majority approval in 60 per cent of the electoral ridings. The current referendum drastically diverges from this standard, requiring just a “50 per cent + 1” majority for success. That’s setting the bar too low.

The change was made to ensure broad public support for the results and to provide legitimacy to the new system. But lowering the threshold and removing the need for a majority of electoral ridings isn’t in British Columbians’ best interests.

It risks the creation of a new electoral system that only a slim majority of the electorate supports.

When it comes down to it, the merits and pitfalls of our electoral system are always open for discussion, but B.C.’s strong and stable democratic institutions undoubtedly give our province a competitive edge. Changing the current model will have long-term implications in every corner of B.C. It’s only fair that the decision is one voters can fully understand and that the process is one they can trust.

Cash babysitter hired for Burnaby’s casino

Auditor will ensure sources of gaming funds recorded Diane Strandberg

editorial@burnabynow.com

BC Lotteries Corporation has engaged a third-party auditor to monitor B.C.’s busiest casinos – including Burnaby’s Grand Villa Casino – to make sure gaming workers are recording “source of gaming funds” declarations properly.

The corporation determined that more monitoring was needed at River Rock Casino Resort, Grand Villa and Parq Vancouver to ensure that registered gaming workers are consistently and completely accurate in gathering detailed information on the source of player funds for all transactions of $10,000 or more.

“As an industry, we are actively engaged and committed to continually improving the anti-moneylaundering practices in B.C. casinos to stay current with an ever-changing chal-

lenge,” said Jim Lightbody, president and CEO, in a press release.

“For instance, it is essential that BCLC work together with our casino service providers to ensure that source-of-funds declarations completely and accurately record the necessary information as one means to help keep dirty money out of B.C. casinos.”

This additional monitoring will continue until BCLC is satisfied that its service providers are fully compliant, according to a press release.

Beginning Jan. 10, at the recommendation of Peter German, gaming workers had to collect a sourceof-funds declaration for all cash and bank draft and certified cheque buy-ins for $10,000 or more in one or more transactions within a 24-hour period.

This information must be provided before the custom-

er is allowed to buy in.

The declaration must include the financial institution, branch number and account number related to the buy-in as well as the customer’s signature and in some circumstances, supporting documentation is also required.

If a customer doesn’t provide the required information, or refuses to sign the source-of-funds declaration, the service provider must refuse the transaction, document the refusal and notify BCLD and Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch Compliance Division (GPEB).

According to a report by the Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch’s posted online, in Burnaby the profits from the Grand Villa Casino spun off $10,876,457 to the city in 2016/17, and increased to $11,731,081 in 2017/18.

Pipeline review likely to face legal challenge Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The latest “redo” review of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is even worse than the first and likely subject to another legal challenge, environmentalists and First Nations leaders say.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tasked the National Energy Board with a new 21-week examination of the project’s potential impacts on whales in Burrard Inlet.The review is meant to satisfy the inadequacies found by Federal Court of Appeal judges who quashed

the federal government’s approval of the project.

The deadline for the final review report is Feb. 22, 2019.

But the NEB hasn’t been given enough time and its focus is far too narrow, according to Grand Chief Phillip Stewart, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs.

“The NEB redo review is too little, too late, and is yet another desperate, hailMary attempt to resuscitate a dead project,” Stewart said. “It’s disgusting, disgraceful and shameful.”

The review will be limited to within 12 nautical miles

(22 kilometres) off the coast, rather than the 200 nautical miles (370 kilometres) requested by environmentalists.This limited scope and the short timespan allocated for the process is “creating the grounds for another court case,” according to Eugene Kung, a lawyer with West Coast Environmen-

tal Law. “The National Energy Board seems to have learned nothing from the Federal Court of Appeal’s decision and is repeating many of the same errors that landed them in court last time,” Kung said.

He said next steps to challenge the process “are being

considered very carefully.”

Last time a legal challenge was mounted against the NEB process, it was thrown out of court because it was filed too early so any new challenge will come after the review process, he said.

It’s up to the federal cabinet to extend the process and expand its scope, Kung

Burnaby’s mayor-elect, Mike Hurley, has vowed to push the federal government to start from scratch and subject the pipeline project to the new process laid out by federal Bill C-69, which would create a new regulator supplanting the NEB.

A voter’s guide to proportional representation Jessica Kerr

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Just when you thought we were done with voting, the ballots in B.C.’s referendum on electoral reform will start going out to households across the province this week. But what exactly are we being asked to vote on?

The ballot will include two questions — the first will ask whether B.C. should switch from the current first-past-the-post election system to a system of proportional representation; the second question asks voters to rank three systems of proportional representation.

So, what is proportional representation and how does it work? We spoke to Richard Johnston, a political science professor at the University of British Columbia.

“The basic idea is that the entitlement of a party to a number of seats in the parliament or legislature should be as closely proportional to its share of the popular vote as arithmetically possible,” he said. “That’s it.”

This isn’t the first time B.C. voters have been asked about switching from the current first-past-the-post electoral system to a form of proportional representation — referendums in 2005 and 2009 were both defeated.

Here are the three systems voters will be asked to rank: MIXED MEMBER PROPORTIONAL (MMP) MMP was first invented for use in Germany in 1949, but it is also the system currently used in New Zealand, Scotland and Wales.

The system divides MLAs into two tiers – local and regional. Local MLAs would be elected as they

are now.Voters cast a ballot for the candidate they would like to see represent the constituency, and the candidate with the most votes wins that seat. However, residents then cast a second vote for a regional representative. It’s the second vote that determines what the overall share of seats each party is entitled to.

“So if a party gets 40 per cent of the votes cast, then it will get 40 per cent of the seats, to an approximation,” Johnston said.

Any seats that are won at the local level are awarded and subtracted from the overall total.The regional seats are then allocated based on each party’s percentage of that vote.

“So some parties will get a small top-up, some parties will get a bigger top-up, other parties may get seats only through the higher tier, but the total number of seats will be a number that is broadly proportional,” Johnston said.

He added, “It’s an attempt to have local representation mesh with an overall proportional result.”

DUAL MEMBER PROPORTIONAL (DMP) This system was designed in 2013 by Sean Graham, a civil servant in Alberta. It’s not in use anywhere but was one of several electoral systems proposed in a 2016 plebiscite in P.E.I. “From a representational point of view, it’s kind of interesting, kind of smart, but it’s very hard to describe,” Johnston said.

With DMP, almost every riding would elect two representatives. Most of the province’s electoral ridings would be amalgamated with a neighbouring constituency to create larger two-member districts.The largest rural

districts would likely remain unchanged — parties would run a single candidate and the candidate with the most votes would win the seat.

In the amalgamated ridings, each party would nominate up to two candidates to run in each riding and then designates its number-one candidate and which will be number two.

On election day, voters cast a single vote for the party, not the individual candidates, and the number 1 candidate for the party that finishes first gets one seat.

“At this point, half the seats in the house are assigned,” Johnston said.

“Then a counting mechanism is set in [motion] to assign the other half.”

The second seats are then allocated to ensure each party’s share of seats is roughly the same as its share of the popular vote provincewide, needing at

least five per cent of the vote to get any second seats.

RURAL-URBAN PROPORTIONAL (RUP) Johnston said this system “attempts to address straight up what is in some ways a big rhetorical problem for proportional representation in a place like British Columbia, which is that B.C. is vast and mostly empty.”

“They’re trying to preserve some semblance of the existing constituency makeup of the low-density part of the province,” he said.

RUP would combine two proportional systems — MMP and the Single Transferable Vote (STV) system.

“The low-density parts of the province, basically the interior and the north, you would essentially have MMP — individual constituencies and then an up-

per tier of [representatives] selected by basically the same system as described in MMP,” Johnston said.

In the rest of the province, where there are a lot of people but not a lot of turf, ridings would be bundled into larger, multi-member districts and MLAs would be elected using STV. STV was the electoral method proposed by the B.C. Citizens Assembly and was included in the 2005 and 2009 referendums. It uses a preferential ballot where voters rank their preferred candidates on the ballot.

With STV, the counting of the ballots is more complicated, Johnston said, but it is already in use in Ireland, the Australian senate and in Malta. It usually requires several rounds of counting.

Each riding would have a minimum number of votes

needed to win a seat. Any candidate that reaches the quota is elected. If that candidate has more than the required number of votes, the extra votes are transferred to the other candidates based on the voter’s rankings.The candidates with the fewest number of votes are dropped and those votes are also transferred to the remaining candidates using the voter’s next choice.

Voting packages are set to start arriving in mailboxes across the province between Oct. 22 and Nov. 2. Completed ballots must be returned to Elections BC by 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 30.

Anyone who does not receive a package by Nov. 2 can request one by calling Elections BC at 1-800-6618683 or online at elections. bc.ca/ovr.The deadline to request a voting package is Nov. 23. See elections. bc.ca/referendum.

SFU sets up pot-smoking areas at Burnaby campus Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

SFU students will have to come to Burnaby if they want to smoke weed on campus.

With the legalization of recreational cannabis Oct. 17, the university has set aside two temporary outdoor areas on its Burnaby Mountain campus for people to smoke up, according to an email sent to students recently. No such spaces will be set aside at the Surrey andVancouver campuses because they are in urban centres and covered my municipal smoking bylaws.

On Burnaby Mountain, students will be free to blaze at the intersection of Science Road and South Campus Road and in the campus residential area, between Shell House and McTaggart-Cowan Hall.

The areas have been kept separate from existing tobacco smoking spaces.

It’s unlikely SFU employees will be joining students

in the pot-smoking areas on the mountain, however, since they are still expected to adhere to existing SFU policies andWorkSafeBC regulations that prohibit impairment in the workplace by alcohol, drugs or other substances.

SFU is still reviewing its policies in light of the new legislation, according to a cannabis policy update emailed out by Tim Rahilly, SFU vice-provost and associate vice-president, students and international.

He said consultation on draft policies will take place with students, faculty and

staff in the coming months.

In the meantime, he reminded students to adhere to SFU’s existing policies and procedures.

“Substance use always carries a risk, and I encourage you to consider what effect it can have on your health and studies,” Rahilly said in the email.

Students who need access to medical cannabis because of a chronic or disabling condition are reminded to register with the centre for students with disabilities so accommodations can be made on a case-bycase basis.

Entertainment now Celebrate the art of light The Burnaby Arts Council is once again marking the spring equinox with a show celebrating light – and artists are invited to take part.

A call for submissions is open for Luminescence IV, coming to Deer Lake Gallery from Friday, March 16 to Saturday, April 6.

The show welcomes submissions from visual artists working in all media, including painting, photography, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, wood, metalwork and installations.

This will be the fourth edition of the popular exhibition, which has become one of the biggest draws on the local arts scene since its first edition – which featured an infinity room by artist Ron Simmer – attracted a huge social media buzz.

The submission deadline is Jan. 16, 2019 at 4 p.m.

For full submission details and to fill out the online application form, see www. burnabyartscouncil.org/ 2019-call-luminescence-iv.

Dageraad has winning recipe Toast the best of

city’s businesses

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Competition in B.C.’s growing craft beer market is tough these days, and that’s why a win at the BC Beer Awards is a really big deal for Dageraad Brewing.

Burnaby-based Dageraad Brewing took home a gold and bronze medal at the BC Beer Awards last Saturday, dominating the strong Belgian ale category – and it makes sense, it’s a Belgian-style brewery after all.

“It is our category.We’d hoped to win other stuff, but that’s the one that we always do really well in,” said Ben Coli, founder and owner of Dageraad Brewing.

This year’s winning beers were Antwerpen (third place) and Brune (first place).This is the first time Brune has won an award, according to Coli.

Asked if he was disappointed Dageraad didn’t win more awards this year, Coli said he was happy they won anything at all.

“We won Brewery of theYear at the Canadian Brewing Awards this year, which is a little like winning the lottery, so you can’t go and complain about

not winning the lottery the next time,” he said.

When Dageraad first opened in 2014, there were fewer than 100 craft breweries in the province.That number has since grown to close to 160, with sales of B.C. craft beer doubling

in the last four years, according to the BC Craft Brewers Guild.

“It is getting fierce and there’s a lot of breweries out there.There’s breweries out there that no one’s ever heard of suddenly taking gold in a major, competitive category,” Coli added.

Reborn pub set to open on SFU campus Simon Fraser University hopes the rebirth of the old Highland Pub will reenergize the community on Burnaby Mountain.

SFU has teamed up with the Joseph Richard Group to reopen the pub. Dubbed The Study, the hope is that it’ll become a popular hangout for everyone on the mountain, according to Mark McLaughlin, chief commercial services officer.

“We really want that place

to have a great vibe, because it adds vitality and excitement to the heart of the campus,” he told the NOW. Located in the Maggie Benston Centre at the centre of the campus,The Study’s focus will be to provide good food and a warm atmosphere. Renovations started in June and are well on their way to being complete before the new year, according to McLaughlin.

The old Highlands Pub,

which was run by students, shut down more than a year ago, before the university took over the space, according to McLaughlin.

“We made a commitment to the students and student society that we would reinvigorate the space, reenergize the space,” he added.

The university chose the Joseph Richard Group because of its commitment to the community and for its food, McLaughlin said.

Discover a new lifestyle

“This isn’t a brew pub.

It’s not about the beer, it’s not a craft brewery, it’s very much food focused to try and create that social space where students, faculty, everybody can hang out and have a good time together,” he added. “It’s not just for the campus, it’s for the whole community. …We expect it’ll be a spot for them to come and congregate and hang out.”

Entertainment now Deer Lake Gallery has plenty of offerings this autumn Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Art lovers, don’t forget about the opening of the newest exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery this weekend.

The Burnaby Arts Council’s gallery is presenting Parallel, a group exhibition featuring mixed media work

by Susan Jessop, Frankie Watt-Elphinstone and Kenneth Yuen. An opening reception is set for Saturday, Oct. 27 at noon, and the exhibition will run until Saturday, Dec. 15.

A press release notes that Jessop uses paper collage to weave together her experiences of the landscape, wildlife and culture of Canada with her memories of the U.K., exploring the meaning of “home.”

Watt-Elphinstone, meanwhile, explores our drive to expand into new worlds and the way in which we create “comforting and unspoken narratives” in reaction to cultural expectations.

Yuen uses sculpture and installation to explore the possible relationships between mind, body and object.

Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave., and it’s open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 4 p.m.

See www.burnabyartscouncil.org or call 604-298-7322 for more.

more about the traditions of the Coast Salish People.

The gallery is hosting a demonstration of traditional Coast Salish drumming, featuring Brandon Gabriel (Kwelexwecten), on Saturday, Nov. 3 from 2 to 4 p.m.

Gabriel was born and raised on the Kwantlen First Nation Reserve in Fort Langley. He studied cultural anthropology, visual art and marketing at Kwantlen Polytechnic University before getting his bachelor’s degree in visual art from Emily Carr University of Art + Design. He’s described as a multi-talented mixed media artist who specializes in painting, drawing, illustration, graphic design and more, and his work has been exhibited in the U.K., Hong Kong, the U.S. and across Canada.

occasion. Guest director John Lam of the Salvation Army’s Canadian Staff Band will also join the musicians for the occasion.

David Mills, bandmaster of the Cariboo Hill Temple Band, started the fall event when he took over the band three years ago. He wanted to offer his musicians an event to work towards and present something that

would generate excitement for both players and audience.

“The players take the summer off, so this event jump-starts our music program for the new season,” he explained in an email to the NOW. The idea of fall concerts isn’t a new one, though; Mills noted that the band was formed in 1888 – making it Vancouver’s first band – and has done many fall concerts over the years with a variety of special guests.

This event marks the third festival under Mills’ leadership.

“Although the concert is called the ‘Fall Festival of Gospel Song,’ we are not really limited to just the traditional form of gospel music,” he said. “The band usually plays a fanfare-style opener and exciting band arrangements of famous hymns, as well as beautiful lyrical selections.”

Both the Cariboo Hill choir and the Shaughnessy choir will perform a variety of sacred and classical works, and there will

It’s time to talk to kids about cannabis Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When I was growing up, conversations around cannabis didn’t exist – especially when kids were present.

Beyond the “marijuana is a drug, never try it!” words of warning, the topic was taboo.

With the recent legalization of cannabis in our country, parents are now worried about how to address the topic of weed with their wee ones, and headlines such as “B.C. child in the hospital after eating cannabis-infused gummy bears” aren’t making matters any easier.

As a result, some parents seem to be in a state of panic, worried that the legalization of (and any mention of) marijuana will cause their children to become curious about cannabis and expose them to the risks that can occur should they accidentally ingest the potent plant or breathe in its fumes.

Others hope to shield their kids by skirting the issue, affirming that they will try to avoid the topic entirely in hopes of keeping their kids safe.

While the questions that arise around discussing cannabis with kids bring up some legitimate concerns, it’s the lack of knowledge and understanding that is creating a state of fear in panicked parents and sparking curiosity in children.

Signs are already beginning to pop up with messages such as “Don’t drive high,” advertising campaigns are going to crop up in mainstream media, and fumes are going to fill the air – and all of these things are going to spark questions.

Questions that we, as parents, should be prepared to answer honestly.

Instead of silencing ourselves, we should be using the new legalization as a launch point for discussion.

One Vancouver mom, Jenn Honey, decided to discuss cannabis with her young daughter on the day

pot became legal in Canada – a day which coincidentally coincided with her daughter’s seventh birthday.

In a Facebook post, the mom shares with her family and friends, “I wanted to get ahead of this one, so we talked. (My daughter) knows that cannabis is a drug for adults to use. I told her some adults might have cannabis in the house now that is out and around for her to see and touch, but she has to leave it alone like any medicine, or cleaning products, or alcohol.We also talked about how some adults might use cannabis to make other treats like candy or chocolates, and that she now needs to ask adults when she’s over at someone’s house before she eats anything like that. Just like Halloween, if it’s not in a wrapper, it’s off limits, unless cleared by an adult you trust.”

And now that it’s legal, some cannabis-infused edibles are being packaged in fancy wrappers, too, so for children, nothing is safe to

consume without getting approval from an adult.

Protecting our kids is a primary focus for parents, but keeping them in the dark about drugs – especially those that are now legal, will do more harm than good.We need to make our kids aware of the risks that can occur, and parents need to do their research.

In response to a comment that discussing cannabis with kids can be a scary conversation, Jenn Honey responds, “Legalization opens the door to discussion that people couldn’t have before, in fear of judgment and even prosecution. It’s precisely the reason that I am in favour,” and I wholeheartedly agree.

If you want to familiarize yourself with the facts before you face the conversation, check out camh.ca.

Chiefs gain upper hand over T-birds Offence comes together in blastingValley rival Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The defence has been doing its part, but the offence found a groove that it liked last week, giving the Vancouver North East Chiefs a pair of wins over a previously unbeaten rival.

The Chiefs handed the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds losses of 4-3 and 9-2 on the weekend, propelling themselves into a tie for second place in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League.

Most impressive was, not just putting nine goals on the board in Saturday’s decision at Burnaby 8-Rinks, where the Chiefs call home, but was the next day’s one-goal decision in Abbotsford.

Justin Scott’s marker, with five minutes remaining in the second period, proved the be the difference in a tightly played contest.The defence blanked the T-birds over the final 20 minutes to lockdown the victory.

Vancouver, which draws its players from east Burnaby, New Westminster, the Tri-Cities and Ridge Meadows, took a 2-0 lead on tallies from Cody Hough and Nic Roussel before the Tbirds got on the scoreboard 2:11 into the second period.

The home team tied it five minutes later, but the Chiefs reclaimed the lead with 6:22 to play in the period on a Sam Schofield marker, assisted by New West’s Dante Ballarin.

The previous night in Burnaby, Christian Lowe of Port Moody converted a Ballarin set-up with 2:45 left in the first to open the scoring with his first of two goals.

Ballarin also tallied twice as the Chiefs staked themselves to a 5-1 lead after 40 minutes. Also scoring for the home squad were Burnaby’s Jackson Murphy-Johnson, Dylan Ford, Hough, Roussel and Schofield.

Although they are listed as fourth overall in the standings, with a 5-3-11 record, the Chiefs have 12 points, the same as second-place T-birds and Okanagan Rockets, and lead the league in goals against with a 2.8-pergame average.

They get to test their mettle this weekend with a series against the first-place North West Hawks, Saturday at the North Shore Winter Club, and Sunday, 11:30 a.m. at Burnaby’s 8-Rinks.

STEELERS LOCK UP OUTLAWS Jack Hamilton’s unassisted goal to start the third period proved to be the difference, lifting the Grandview Steelers past the Mission Outlaws 5-2 in Pacific Junior B Hockey League play.

It came after Mateo Coltellaro tied the game late in the second period.

Also scoring were Anthony Benevoli, Emerson Kostner and JarodYau.They host Delta on Sunday, 7:15 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Burnaby to play host to ringette worlds City’s arenas will be the epicentre for ringette championships in November 2019 Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

In just over a year’s time, Burnaby rinks will be ringing with the sound of international competition.

There will certainly be a number of ringers in attendance, too.

Ringette Canada announced last week that Burnaby will host the 2019 World Ringette championships, bringing the best from around the globe to see who’s No. 1.

Being tasked with some of the hosting responsibilities is the Lower Mainland Ringette League (LMRL), which applied for the privilege to have the action take place at the Bill Copeland and Burnaby Lake arenas.

“In 2012, Burnaby hosted an amazing Canadian Ringette championships, and Ringette

B.C. is very excited to welcome the ringette community (back) in 2019 to once again show Canada and the world a quality ringette competition,” said Nicole Robb, executive director with Ringette B.C. “(We’re) thrilled to be a part of this momentous event, as this is the first world ringette championships to be hosted in B.C., and it will be an amazing opportunity for our ringette players to experience the highest level of ringette.”

Eunice Cho, president of Burnaby-New West Ringette, said the opportunity to have the elite teams and players on local ice, competing for the biggest prize in the sport, is only going to help boost the game’s profile locally.

“Yes, we’re very excited to be working with (LMRL) to host the world ringette championships in November 2019,” said Cho. “We will be taking an active

role in coordinating the event and supporting (it) with many volunteers.”

The sport, which has evolved into a co-ed sport after its early beginnings as a game developed for young girls, involves more than 1,100 players in the Lower Mainland league and nearly 30,000 across Canada.

The world championships feature teams in the junior (under-19) and senior divisions, with the senior trophy named for Canadian Sam Jacks, who co-founded the sport in 1963.

While Canada has hosted four of the last seven world championships, including in 2017 in Mississauga, Ont., the national senior team has finished second behind Finland in all but one of those years – with Canada last emerging as No. 1 in 2002 in Edmonton.

Canada did capture the u19 world title, edging Finland for the prize.

At the last world championships, five nations came to Mississauga in search of a medal: Canada, Finland, Czech Republic, Sweden and the U.S. Slovakia is another nation which has attended in the past.

“We are very excited to once again be hosting the World Ringette championships in Canada and showcasing our sport on the international stage,” said Natasha Johnston, Ringette Canada’s executive director. “Burnaby is a destination city in Canada with experience in hosting major world events, and we are confident the host committee will hold a memorable event for ringette fans from across the world.”

Di Stasio ends world women’s wrestling drought

Burnaby-based wrestler Justina Di Stasio has earned her share of hardware.

But this week’s gold medal is a notch above. Di Stasio, an assistant coach with Simon Fraser University’s women’ s wrestling team, captured her first world wrestling title by beating Mongolia’s Nasanburmaa Ochir-

bat in the 72-kilogram division. She prevailed in a hard-fought final by a 4-2 margin, scoring two early takedowns to build up a 4-0 lead before defending the rest of the way. “(Ochirbat) has a left leg lead and I have a right leg lead. So, I was just thinking about that all day, trying to figure out what we were

going to do for it and we did it,” said Di Stasio in a press release.

It was the first Canadian victory at the worlds since 2012. A year ago, Di Stasio finished third at the worlds in the 75kg category.

She moved to the lighter weight class after failing to make the national team at 75kg.

Wildcats, Lions to meet in final Senior boys soccer teams survive semifinal tests

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Central Wildcats are anticipating their toughest test yet.

For a team that is undefeated against league opponents and has surrendered just one goal over eight games – including Wednesday’s 2-0 over Burnaby North – the Wildcats are itching for it.

By playing a well-rounded contest against the pesky Vikings, Central kept the momentum going heading into an important stretch.

The Burnaby-New West league final is slated for Wednesday, 3 p.m. at Burnaby Lake West complex.The winner will host a North Shore crossover game the following week.

“There’s a familiarity for the teams, through club play, that means there’s no advantage,” said Wildcats coach Ivan Steko. “Burnaby Mountain is a tough team, they’re well coached and well drilled.They’ve got players who have played together for a long time, so I’m anticipating a good battle.”

In their previous encounter, Central emerged with a 2-0 win two weeks ago.

The Wildcats got goals from Aiden Labreche and Jason Shin in the win over North.

The Lions, meanwhile topped Byrne Creek 2-0 in the other semifinal.
