Burnaby to get 366 new ‘affordable’ rental units Joannah Connolly

editorial@burnabynow.com

The province’s affordable housing program will fund the construction of 4,900 new mixed-income rental units in 42 communities across the province, the BC NDP government announced at a media conference on Tuesday.

Some of those units will be located in Burnaby.

Each of the new rent-

al buildings created under the program will include a mix of homes for varying income levels.This will include “deeply subsidized” rentals for seniors and those on fixed incomes, affordable rentals for low- to moderate-income workers such as those in the service industries, and affordable rentals for middle-income earners such as nurses, first responders and teachers.

The 4,900 homes will be

This initial set of affordable rental projects, which has already gone through a request-for-proposals process, will be built by nonprofit housing and co-ops over the next two to three years, according to the province.The 4,900 homes will cost the province around $492 million of its $1.9 billion fund.

Burnaby will get 366 of those homes, in four projects:

Injunction battle continues A court hearing last week heard arguments about whether or not an injunction is still needed to cover sites that are part of the Trans Mountain pipeline

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

If a B.C. Supreme Court judge grants a request to end an injunction against anti-pipeline activists, they will be given free rein to restart blockades, hurt Trans Mountain’s bottom line and even jeopardize the environment and public safety, according to a lawyer representing the pipeline company.

Maureen Killoran, counsel for Trans Mountain ULC (a Crown corporation), argued the injunction issued by Judge Kenneth Affleck on March 15, 2018, provided local police with an essential tool in dealing with repeated blockades and interference with the company’s lawful activities at its Burnaby Mountain tank farm and Westridge Marine Terminal.

Approximately 230 people have been arrested for allegedly violating the injunction since March, many of whom have been convicted of criminal contempt of court.

Killoran was responding to an application filed by lawyer Casey Leggett on behalf of anti-pipeline activists to have the injunction set aside. Leggett argued that since the expansion of Trans Mountain’s oil pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby has been halted following a Federal Court of Appeal ruling, the injunction is now “moot.”

Leggett told Affleck in B.C. Supreme Court on Thursday that the injunction should be overturned because there is no longer a “live controversy” around the project.Trans Mountain can’t demonstrate irreparable harm would be caused without the order and the injunction is “impermissibly indefinite,” Leggett said.

But Killoran called Leggett’s reasoning “circular and absurd.”

She said the injunction is needed to protect the pipeline’s existing operations, as well as “stand-down” work necessary since construction on the expansion stopped following the federal court quashing the federal government’s approval of the project.

“This work needs to be

completed as quick as possible,” Killoran said.

She said any new blockades could delay the standdown work, currently costing the company more than $220,000 a day.

A blockade could delay the installation of pile caps and erosion mitigation mats at the Westridge Marine Terminal on Burrard Inlet, Killoran said.

“If this is not maintained properly, it will have an irreparable impact on the marine environment,” she said.

A shutdown of the Westridge terminal could even impact flights out of Vancouver International Airport, she said, by cutting off the supply of jet fuel coming from the facility.

Protests could also force trucks to stop and turn around on the road outside the tank farm, creating “potentially hazardous conditions and unnecessary safety risk to TM’s employees and the public,” she wrote in her response to Leggett’s application.

But those are all unlikely, hypothetical threats, Leggett said.

“There is no credible evidence of an impending blockade,” he said.

There have been no arrests under the injunction since Aug. 24. According to Leggett, that’s because the FCA ruling less than a week later, on Aug. 30, “was a resounding victory for opponents of this project.”

Leggett said opponents saw the ruling as ending the need for active opposition to the pipeline twinning.

While the federal government has signalled it intends to continue with the project following a re-examination by the National Energy Board, the court should rule based on the current reality, Leggett said.

“That’s the lay of the land now; we can’t hypothesize as to what will happen,” he said.

Killoran, however, said the protests had stopped thanks to the Crown seeking harsher and harsher sentences – including jail sentences of up to 14 days – for protesters convicted of criminal contempt of court for violating the injunction.

“It is the increasing severity for a breach of the in-

sites in Burnaby. PHOTO NOW FILES

junction that explains the decrease in arrests,” Killoran said.

This assertion drew a chorus of laughter from the pipeline opponents gathered in the courtroom gallery.

Killoran also pushed back against Leggett’s contention that there is not an active and organized opposition to Trans Mountain.

“There is live controversy,” she said. “Activists intend to continue unlawfully impeding Trans Mountain.”

The corporate lawyer cit-

ed multiple social media posts from anti-pipeline activists, which she said demonstrate the ongoing threat to the company’s operations.

“Activists continue to promote blockades at the sites with the intent to delay and frustrate Trans Mountain’s operations,” Killoran said.

Killoran read excerpts from several Facebook posts, including from the Tiny House Warriors, a group led by Secwepemc

woman Kanahus Manuel. Killoran said the group, currently based in Blue River, B.C., intends to impede work on the existing Trans Mountain pipeline.

She cited a Facebook post that she said misinterpreted legal maintenance work on the existing pipeline as “illegal” expansion work.This proves the need for an ongoing injunction, according to Killoran.

Leggett said the social media posts did not prove the activists had any intentions or concrete plans to obstruct the pipeline or work on it.

“It’s talk. It’s bluster at times,” he said.

Killoran said there’s no evidence the activists’ right to free expression was being violated by the injunction and the balance of convenience in the case favours upholding it.

“What can’t they do?

They can’t break the law,” Killoran said.

A lawyer representing the RCMP also spoke in favour of upholding the injunction.

Kyle Friesen said the order is a “significant law enforce-

ment tool” that has become integral to how police deal with protests.

“Without the injunction, the RCMP would be deprived of law enforcement options,” Friesen told the judge, adding that it allows activists to continue protesting lawfully, peacefully and safely.

“The injunction is not an oppressive remedy,” he said.

But Leggett and Martin Peters – another lawyer representing a protester and advocating to have the injunction quashed – both argued Killoran and Friesen failed to show a need for the injunction to remain in place.

Peters pointed out that without an injunction, it’s still illegal under the criminal code to obstruct a roadway.The police already have the powers they need to deal with any potential future interference with Trans Mountains sites in Burnaby and beyond, he said.

Judge Affleck reserved judgment on the application.

It’s not clear when a ruling will be made.

City now POLITICS

Singh moves in, doubles down on Burnaby South gamble

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Jagmeet Singh is set to join the legion of renters in Metrotown, as he doubles down on his gamble to gain a seat in Parliament and cement himself as the future of a struggling federal NDP. The New Democrat said he and his wife, Gurkiran Kaur Sidhu, have found a rental home in Burnaby South – the federal riding where he hopes to win an eventual byelection.

“We’re really excited to make it our home, and that will be something we do very shortly,” he told the NOW. Singh was born in Ontario and has never lived in B.C., but he has pinned his hopes on the seat left vacant by former MP, and current mayor of Vancouver, Kennedy Stewart.

The Green Party has said it will not run a candidate against Singh, the Liberals have yet to announce whether they will field someone in the riding, while the Conservatives have nominated corporate lawyer Jay Shin. Former Conservative Maxime Bernier’s new People’s Party has said it will run a candidate.

Now in his second year leading Canada’s New Democrats, Singh has never held a seat in the House of Commons. He said he has been canvassing and door-

knocking in the area to get a better understanding of local issues, while also “getting a sense and feel” for the community by visiting the farmers’ market and paddling a canoe on Burnaby Lake.

Singh said his ability to listen to locals will make him a good fit to represent a community where he’s a newcomer.

“I’m a leader that listens to the community, listens to their concerns, and I’m a fierce advocate for whatever the community needs,” he said.

But Singh has been campaigning without a date set with voters, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has declined to call the byelection.

The NDP appears desperate to get Singh in the house, as the party struggles in national polls and lags far behind its rivals in fundraising. Singh’s leadership could come into question if he loses the race Stewart won narrowly in 2015.

Last month, the federal leaders of the Greens, Conservatives and Bloc Quebecois joined Singh in penning a letter to Trudeau urging him to call the vote in four vacant ridings, including Burnaby South. And this week four NDP MLAs representing Burnaby – Anne Kang, Katrina Chen, Raj Chouhan and Janet Routledge – wrote their own letter to the prime minister ex-

pressing disappointment in his “decision in delaying the call.”

Trudeau recently called a byelection for an Ontario riding but not for three others. He could call a Burnaby South election as late as March 2019.

“We’re hopeful, though, that the pressure that’s mounting is going to be successful in letting this government know that, ‘Listen, people deserve to have a voice,’” Singh said.

Housing is the top local issue, Singh said. He has criticized the Liberal government’s slow implementation of a national housing plan and has said the feds

need to be more involved in building affordable housing nationwide.

He also said that as an MP he would champion the long-awaited redevelopment of Burnaby Hospital.The federal government could provide funding for a new building, he said.

“The current hospital in-

frastructure is not adequate and folks really want to see an up-to-date modernization, a new hospital that actually can fulfil the needs of the community,” he said.

Singh has firmly opposed the twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline and said the Federal Court of Appeal ruling that quashed federal

approval of the project confirmed his stance that the project was approved without adequate environmental review or First Nations consultation. (Those processes are being redone, with the prime minister vowing to continue with the expansion.)

But what happens if Singh becomes prime minister and the head of a government that owns both the existing pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby and the expansion project?

Singh said he would initiate an audit of the pipeline, with the eventual goal of divesting from the project.

“We don’t know exactly what we purchased, what it is exactly.We need to have an assessment of that before we make a decision on what we do moving forward,” he said. “Canadians don’t want our country to be in the business of owning a pipeline.We should be in the business of renewable energy, green energy ... that’s where we should be investing our dollars, that’s the future.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Forcing out urban campers isn’t the solution

The City of Burnaby is set to take action against urban campers taking up residence on local streets and sticking their hoses into Burnaby’s sewer system.

“If they’re there all day, we’re not concerned,” public safety director Dave Critchley said at a public safety committee meeting last week. “What we’re concerned with is when they’re there all day, all night, all day, all night, and put their hoses into our sewer system.” According to Critchley, the committee has got-

ten “numerous complaints” about people parking campers and trailers on city streets and living in them.

He said a bylaw change is needed to help bylaw officers prevent the problem from taking root as it has in Vancouver, where vehicle dwellers have become entrenched in certain areas, like the Evans Avenue-Glen Drive strip in EastVan. Currently, vehicles over 8,000 pounds, trailers, mobile homes and camper units detached from a vehicle are prohibited from

Think about it – do you really think people want to live out of an RV on an urban street? parking on Burnaby streets “for more than two hours between the hours of 1 and 6 a.m.” Critchley said the two-hour limit in the bylaw makes it hard to enforce, and the committee is now recommending council remove it to make parking of such vehicles illegal for any

length of time between 1 and 6 a.m.

“I don’t think it’s a tremendous problem,” Critchley said of Burnaby situation. “We just want to make sure that we try and get on it before it does.”

When the story by the NOW hit our Facebook

page, we received some generally positive comments about the city looking to stop this behaviour.

But lost in all of this is the reason why some people are living in RVs on city streets – the affordability crisis.

Think about it – do you really think people want to live out of an RV on an urban street? Do you think it’s some sort of adventure?

No, it’s a humiliating choice many people are being forced to take. Either they can’t afford a place to live, or they can’t even find

a place to live because so many affordable rental units are being destroyed, such as what’s been happening in the Metrotown area – a situation that helped cost exmayor Derek Corrigan his job.

Members of the committee did feel some sympathy for people living in the RVs. And we get why the city wants to toughen up its bylaws. But let’s also put in the same or more effort into solving the affordability problem that is creating a RV situation.

INBOX CHRIS CAMPBELL

Our community is not a garbage can There are some really smart kids who live up at the UniverCity housing development on Burnaby Mountain.

Many of them live in my building.They are students who attend Simon Fraser University’s campus down the street – and I’m sure they work hard and are brilliant. But some of them are pigs who like to dump all over our neighbourhood.

Sorry, but it’s true. If you don’t know the UniverCity development, many of the suites are rented out by SFU students.That was the

big reason why the neighbourhood was created. It’s supplied a lot of housing for students and, for the most part, they are solid citizens who go about their business in an orderly fashion.There isn’t even much partying that goes on. It’s a pretty quiet area, except for the spring when the frogs in the nearby forest start mating – but I digress.

At the end of most months – when people move out – the sidewalks at the front of some of the apartment buildings are littered with furniture dumped by lazy people.

It’s a frequent occurrence and makes a nice, clean

neighbourhood look awful.

Case in point, one morning as I drove out of my building, I looked up the street and noticed yet another pile of crap (see my photo below). I parked to take a look and noticed that several pieces of filthy furniture had been dumped right in front of a sign that said, “No dumping.Violators will be prosecuted.”

There was even an electric stove sitting with the furniture.

It’s like they were deliberately trying to send a message to the person who posted the sign.

Like a metaphorical middle finger.

I’ve spoken to building managers up and down my block and they say it’s mostly student renters who are guilty of dumping.

They sneak the stuff out in the middle of the night and dump it on the front lawns of buildings because they don’t want to have to deal with disposing of the items as they move out.

I’ve written about this issue before in Burnaby. It’s not just students.

There are lots of supposed adults who are doing the same thing and it’s really frustrating.The city is left having to deal with the problem most times and people who want to live in a clean neighbourhood have to arrive home to garbage on their building’s front lawn.

Please, be better.

‘Sicko’ hanging stuff in trees

Something strange was happening down at the western end of Fraser Foreshore Park. On a path by the Marine Way pedestrian overpass, someone was hanging strange items in the trees. Some seemed harmless, like plastic bags filled with leaves and dirt or trees hung entirely with men’s runners, but Big Bend residents were concerned when stranger items appeared in the trees, like condoms filled with goo.They also found razor blades stuck in stumps and hypodermic needles stuck in the ground.

“This person is a sicko,” said one resident.

Opinionnow We need action on poverty, not on urban campers Editor: Re: City looks to put a stop to urban campers, NOW Nov. 9.

I think that it is fair to say that the vast majority of British Columbians living in the Lower Mainland would prefer not to live in a camper on the street.

So what leads a person, a couple or a family to live on the streets? In my humble opinion, the likeliest factor driving our community members to live in a camper is poverty. What else can you do when you have little or nothing left?

It seems to me that limiting our poorest community members’ time on a street, particularly during the night, would be a tactless and hurtful act that would put many of our fellow community members, from the lowest part of our economy, in untenable circumstances that will likely see them fined … when they can least afford it financially and/or emotionally.

And what about the children? At least some of our poorer community members are likely to have children. If a child, living in a camper, is school age, then where does s/he attend school?

The poorest of our community members with children should not be required to move out of a Burnaby School District, or any city’s school district for that matter, when they have children residing with them and attending school.

That way all members of the family can maintain friendships and build a better support system.

Our new mayor, Mike Hurley, made it clear throughout his campaign, and after being elected, that he would develop better ways and do so much more, to help the poor and the homeless.

The question to be asked then is “How does chasing the poor campers off of our streets serve to achieve Mayor Hurley’s campaign promises?” The answer is that any program to move poor campers off of our streets is one that flies in the face of Mayor Hurley’s promises to the poor.

If you were placed in a position where you were poor and had to live in a camper on an urban street, wouldn’t you want to retain a little of your dignity? Wouldn’t you want to be at peace knowing that the police/bylaw officers will not try to remove you and fine you? Wouldn’t it be better for members of our community, or any community for that matter, to help out our campers with food and other support rather than attempting to have them driven from our city?

Maybe by relieving the pressure on campers to move out of the city, we will see other homeless people moving out of the cold, wet outdoors into, for example, a small camper capable of providing a bed, a desk, a small fridge and stove, and a small bathroom? I am talking about a trailer that would keep the person warm, dry, and clean. With the help of members of the community, we could also keep our poor well fed.

Instead of treating our poor as threats to our community, maybe we can work together as a community to make our poor feel welcomed and cared for. Maybe we could produce a map that sets out those streets, avenues, parks, etc. where urban camping is permitted? Let’s replace the cycle of fining the poor campers with a cycle of care and concern.

Ronald Van Der Mark, Burnaby Editor’s note: Burnaby city council and Mayor Mike Hurley have not approved the proposal put forward by the Public Safety Committee. It will likely come up during a future meeting.

Burnaby and New West look to forge closer ties Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster’s mayor is trying to be neighbourly with other mayors in the re-

gion – starting with the City of Burnaby.

Mayor Jonathan Cote met with Burnaby’s new mayor Mike Hurley over lunch in New West on Nov. 6. Cote

Compass wristbands tested TransLink is testing out various alternatives to Compass Cards and one of them is the Compass wristband.

The wristband would function the same way a card does, but offers the added convenience of not having to search inside a bag or pull out your wallet to tap.

Glacier Syndicated spoke to Jill Drews, senior issues management advisor for TransLink, about the alternative form of payment.

“TransLink is testing Compass wristbands as a potential alternative form of payment.The wristbands work the same as Compass Cards do. Customers would tap in and tap out at fare

gates with the wristband,” Drews said.

“The small testing group is staff only.We are always looking for new ways to improve customer experience and this is one option we are exploring.We hope to have more to share in the coming months.”

The wristbands are only being tested at this point and the transit provider hasn’t stated whether it will move forward with the option.TransLink also introduced a Tap-to-Pay system earlier this year, which allows riders to tap their Visa, Mastercard or mobile wallet at the fare gates or on buses rather than loading a Compass Card.

thinks the Oct. 20 election results provide a “good opportunity” for the two cities to have a new-and-improved relationship.

“I actually think there are huge opportunities for New Westminster and Burnaby to work closer together.

I am looking forward to establishing that relationship,” he said. “I think New Westminster and Burnaby are dealing with a lot of similar

issues. I think in the past, I’ll be upfront, myself and the former mayor (Derek Corrigan) didn’t have the closest of relationships and I am hoping there is a new opportunity to work with the new mayor.”

Cote said there’s a lot of returning councillors in Burnaby that New West council members have developed good relationships with through the years.

Burnaby trailblazer featured in kids’ book Barbara Howard was the first black Canadian athlete to compete on the international stage

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Eighty years after making history as the first black Canadian athlete to compete on the world stage, Barbara Howard is inspiring a new generation.

The longtime Burnaby resident is featured in a new colouring book, Big Dreamers:The Canadian Black History Activity Book for Kids.

The takeaway is that these people persevered and became trailblazers

A page in the book tells Howard’s story: at 17, she won two medals for Canada at the 1938 British Empire Games before returning to Canada to become the first visible minority to teach public school in Vancouver.

“Barbara Howard was literally a trailblazer,” coauthor Tami Gabay said.

“She’s an amazing lady.”

What most impressed Gabay about Howard was how she took her passion for sport and passed it on to her students.

“She took something that she loved and paid it forward,” Gabay said.

Howard died in 2017, but her story lives on.

She is in great company in the book meant for students in Grade 2 and up, Gabay said.

With a historical figure for every letter in the alphabet, she said the book teaches Canadians young and old about black women and men who made the country better.

The book came about when Gabay combined her plans to write a book about diversity in Canadian history with her co-author Akilah Newton’s plans to make a colouring book.

Together, Gabay said, they learned much about Canadian black history and found inspiration in how individuals pushed back against discrimination to do great things.

“There are many roses, but there are also many thorns and when you have that reckoning, you kind of

accept your place in history (and) you’re able to move forward,” she said. “There was a lot of racial intolerance, and the takeaway is that these people persevered and became trailblazers to make our country better.”

Big Dreamers launched last month and the response

has been great, Gabay said.

The Central Okanagan school district has already purchased 300 copies, and the authors are in talks with other districts. It is available in French and English in some retailers and online at brightconfettiemedia.com.

The co-authors have al-

ready been asked to create a similar book focusing on figures from American black history and another focusing on women, Gabay said.

And Gabay said many adults have learned from the book and are hungry for more.

A Canadian black histo-

ry book for teens and adults could come in the future, she said.

Gabay said she and Newton hope to continue educating about and celebrating diversity in their work.

Developer donates $50 million for scholarship fund Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

There’s nothing typical about how Ryan Beedie chose to celebrate his 50th birthday.

The Burnaby developer and president of the Beedie Group marked the milestone by announcing a $50-million donation to Beedie Luminaries, a new scholarship program he helped create.

Beedie Luminaries is a non-profit venture that aims to help students facing financial barriers overcome those challenges to succeed in post-secondary studies and through to their careers.

“We believe that your future should not be determined by your circumstance,” Beedie said at an event on Tuesday at Moscrop Secondary School, his old junior high school (he attended the school before it served students in grades 11 and 12).

“My philosophy is pretty simple.When you do well, you give back. …When people have success, I think in many cases, sometimes they can discount the aspect of good fortune, and in our case we’ve been very fortunate in so many respects, and I look at it and I think

When you do well, you give back

well, we should take some of that good fortune and reinvest back into the community that made it possible to begin with.”

Led by executive director Martina Meckova, Beedie Luminaries staff will evaluate applicants based on academic readiness, financial situation and the “potential, the drive and determina-

tion for success,” according to Beedie.

This year, the program will accept 50 students from across the Lower Mainland.

Each student will receive either $10,000 per year for a four-year bachelor degree program (up to $40,000) or $7,500 per year for a twoyear diploma or trades program (up to $15,000) “Our program is going to do much more, however, than simply just fund the education,” said Beedie. “We’re going to provide ongoing support to ensure academic success. …We’re going to support students throughout, not just with financial support.”

Applications are now being accepted for Beedie Luminaries’ pilot year.The first group of students will be announced in May 2019.The goal is to eventually select 100 students per year from across B.C. into the Beedie Luminaries program. See beedieluminaries.ca.

Philanthropist: Ryan Beedie speaks at an event held Tuesday at Moscrop Secondary School to announce the new Beedie Luminaries scholarship program. Beedie helped to create the program and donated $50 million to make it a reality. Applications are now being accepted for the program’s inaugural year, with the first recipients to be announced in May 2019. PHOTO CAYLEY DOBIE

Communitynow Holiday spirit onstage at village Watch out for this

weekend’s random acts of kindness

Forte Theatre Society presents The Shoemaker and the Elves as part of Heritage Christmas festivities Forte Theatre Society is back onstage for Heritage Christmas at Burnaby Village Museum.

The Burnaby theatre company is presenting The Shoemaker and the Elves, a retelling of the classic Grimm’s fairytale, from Nov. 24 to Dec. 16 at Brookfield Hall.

Burnaby’s Nancy von Euw directs the show – which ultimately teaches the audience that the most important attributes anyone can possess, whether you’re a big elf, a little elf or somewhere in between, are kindness and respect for our fellow human beings.

Von Euw directs a cast that includes Theodore Humenick as Ernest the Shoemaker.Theodore is a Grade 5 student who loves directingYouTube videos with his friends, and this will be his first onstage performance.

Elaine Francis returns to

the Brookfield Hall stage as Ernestina, with Jennifer Craven (Theodore’s real-life mom) as the Ernestina understudy.

Leslee Achorn, a film and commercial actor, appears as Elfieda the Elf, while Adora Chen marks her community theatre debut as Anna the Elf. Cole Sheehan-Klassen returns for his fourth Forte Theatre production, serving as stage manager.

The Shoemaker and the Elves is on at Brookfield Hall Saturdays and Sundays from Saturday, Nov. 24 to Sunday, Dec. 16. Shows are at 2, 3:30, 5 and 6:30 p.m.

Productions are free as part of Heritage Christmas celebrations.The village is at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. See all the details about Burnaby Village at www. burnabyvillagemuseum.ca.

Teamwork: The cast of The Shoemaker and the Elves includes, in front, Adora Chen and Elaine Francis. In the back, left to right, is Theodore Humenick as the shoemaker, stage manager Cole Sheehan-Klassen, director Nancy von Euw and elf Leslee Achorn. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

While it started as a local initiative in Vancouver, the Kindness Patrol has spread across North America.

On Sunday, Nov. 18, the annual event will coincide with World Kindness Day. It encourages kids to go out into their communities and do random acts of kindness.

While there isn’t one overarching goal, the event encourages youth to inspire joy and kindness all around them.

Created in 2015 by clinical psychologists Dr. Carla Fry and Dr. Lisa Ferrari from Vancouver Psychology Centre and Clinically Happy, they believed the movement could jump-start the generation’s belief in the power of a kind word or gesture.

“We started it to show kids that kindness has its own rewards and that there is real value in being nice to other people,” said Fry. “In our work we have found that a smile, a kind word,

holding the door open for someone, all those things go a long way in boosting the mood of the giver, the receiver and even observers.”

Seaforth Elementary in Burnaby is one school that has already joined the kindness brigade.

“There will be visits to seniors homes, handing out flowers with kindness messages to strangers, making bookmarks for children in need, collecting (pop can tabs) for spina bifida foundation to help raise money for wheelchairs, and cookies to thank staff and other adults who help in the school,” says Seaforth principal Wendel Hiltz. “It’s important that students know that they can make a difference in someone’s life.”

World Kindness Day was created by the World Kindness Movement in 1998. It now includes over 28 countries, including Canada, Australia, Japan, the U.K. and the United States.

There’s a whole team behind the public services you count on.

A team of hardworking, dedicated, and helpful municipal workers that are proud to serve the communities we work and live in.

We proudly serve over 30,000 people across this province, every day.

CUPE MUNICIPAL WORKERS:

City now Protesting peanut bans in school is totally nuts Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Imagine your five-yearold child is sitting at a table eating lunch with some classmates when, all of a sudden, another child playfully sneaks up behind and puts their hands on your child’s face, trying to initiate a game of “Guess who?”

Now imagine that child has just eaten a peanut butter sandwich and your child has an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts.

Does the one teacher who is supervising the classroom of 30 students notice your child, who has by now fallen to the ground in shock?

As your child’s throat quickly swells and closes, causing a loss of consciousness, is the supervising adult able to rush to an EpiPen and treat your child before the allergic reaction takes their life?

Fortunately for those parents who have children with serious nut allergies, most schools across Canada have banned nuts in classrooms.

For one parent, however, this ban poses what she believes to be a serious problem.

A mother based in Waterloo, Ont., is challenging the school board to overturn the ban on nuts in school because her picky eater will only eat peanut butter sandwiches.Through a public online petition, the mother hopes to recruit other parents, like herself, who detest the district-wide nut ban, favouring easier lunch options for their fussy children.

She hopes to receive 50,000 signatures.To no surprise, she has not yet met her goal, with only 514 signatures from supporters listed on the site.

In the introduction to her petition, the mother shares, “I am a single mom with three kids under six, being told that my children do not have a right to attend public school because I pack nuts in their lunch.The children allergic to nuts are not deserving of more protection than any other allergic student.”

Many allergies do exist, but peanut allergies in particular are the most common cause of food-induced anaphylaxis – a life-threatening medical emergency that requires treatment with an epinephrine (adrenaline) injector (EpiPen, Auvi-Q,

Safety first: Your child’s love of this PB&J sandwich doesn’t trump an allergic child’s right to stay safe at school. PHOTO ISTOCK

Twinject) and a trip to the emergency room, so in my opinion, it’s a great place to start.

She ends her statement wildly with, “Should we kill all the bees because people are allergic to them?”

Be sure to grab a barf bag before you read the comments that are shared by the supportive signees, found at the end of the petition.

One commenter shares, “I’m so tired of society having to cede to people who feel their needs outweigh everyone else’s. My children were also prevented from enjoying their favourite foods at school.”

Other commenters agree with this notion, saying things like, “Children that are not allergic shouldn’t be punished.”

The ban is not about inconveniencing busy parents

by forcing them to choose a new ingredient to squash between two slices of bread.

The nut-free school rule was put in place to save the lives of those children who could die from exposure.

I, too, am a busy working mother of three with very picky eaters, but when it comes to packing lunches, I play the role of parent, not peon.

There are tons of other healthy lunch options available, and my children fully understand the risks to their friends when bringing nuts into the school. If you can’t look past the PB&Js that your kids love to eat, in order to save a life, then you’re the one who is nuts, not the school bans.

Communitynow Employer health tax is unfair to Burnaby’s businesses Paul Holden

BURNABY BOARD OF TRADE

When the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31 – after the champagne is poured and the final verse of Auld Lang Syne is belted out – many businesses in Burnaby will be faced with the prospect of paying the same tax for provincial health care, twice. And from what I am hearing at the Burnaby Board of Trade, they are none too happy about it.

The Employer Health Tax was introduced February’s budget and was presented as a way of covering the cost of eliminating Medical Ser-

vices Plan premiums on individuals and families. Businesses with annual payrolls over $500,000 will pay a tax on the wages of their workers, up to a maximum rate of 1.95 per cent for payrolls over $1.5 million.

However, while the new tax comes into effect in less than two short months, the MSP premiums it is replacing will not actually be eliminated until Jan. 1, 2020.

Therefore, families will continue to pay MSP while, simultaneously, businesses will be charged the new MSP-replacement tax.

An even worse fact is that organizations that pay MSP premiums on behalf of their employees – and many do

– may be faced with paying both taxes next year.

While this double taxation is the most obvious problem with the new tax, it is unfortunately not the only one.That is why from the beginning, the BBOT, on behalf of our members, opposed its implementation and offered amendments to help make it less damaging to small businesses.

Above all other concerns is the fact that it’s a significant new tax burden on businesses who have been faced with everything from increasing payroll taxes and minimum wages to the rising costs of just doing business in B.C.The tax is expected to bring in more

money overall than the MSP, which it is “replacing,” and many individual businesses will be paying substantially more than they are paying now to cover their employees’ MSP premiums. I have heard from some Burnaby businesses who are facing new tax bills of thousands, tens of thousands, or in a few cases, hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In addition, the exemption thresholds that are meant to protect small businesses are too low.The provincial government says the tax will not apply to small business, but it only exempts payrolls up to $500,000, or only eight or

nine employees. I doubt that many would define a company with 10 or 11 employees as a “big business,” and this low threshold means thousands of real small businesses will still have to pay this tax. In some provinces with similar health payroll taxes, the thresholds are set much higher ($1.25 million in Manitoba and $1.2 million in Newfoundland) to allow greater exemptions for small businesses, and the province would be wise to follow those examples.

Overall, while the new tax has not gotten the same attention in the media as some of the government’s other initiatives, among the Burnaby business commu-

nity it is well-known as having a much more significant impact.The tax will make hiring and creating jobs more expensive, it will add another layer of cost onto the backs of entrepreneurs, and it hits many of our local companies with an unnecessary double tax they weren’t expecting. For the sake of our members, I hope our provincial government stops the implementation of the Employer Health Tax so that on this NewYear’s Eve Burnaby businesses can make a toast to their health, not to their health tax.

Burnaby North alum packs pads for hockey trip A one-day stint with theVancouver Canucks inspired local netminder to chase his hockey dreams abroad Mario Bartel

editorial@burnabynow.com

A chance to ride the pine on the Vancouver Canucks’ bench embarked Burnaby-trained goalie Matt Hewitt on a worldwide adventure to pursue his dream.

He’s won a championship in Australia and last month joined the Fassa Falcons of the Alps Hockey League in Italy.

Hewitt, who grew up in New Westminster and attended the hockey academy at Burnaby North secondary school, was in his fourth season as the goaltender for the University of British Columbia, getting ready for the team’s home opener two years ago when his phone rang.

I want to do something fun for myself.

It was his coach, Sven Butenschon, who informed him the Canucks were in a bind after the NHL team’s starting goalie, Ryan Miller, suffered an injury the morning of their game against the St. Louis Blues and there wasn’t time to fly-in a backup from their affiliate team in Utica, N.Y. Hewitt was offered the chance to serve as the Canucks’ backup for Jakob Markstrom that night.

He signed a one-day amateur contract with the team, hauled his equipment to Rogers Arena and pulled on a Canucks’ jersey to take warmup and then watch the game

from the end of the bench.

Hewitt, who’d played three years of junior hockey with the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League before joining UBC in 2013, said the experience sparked his desire to see where else the sport could take him.

“Getting the call to dress with the Canucks was an experience of a lifetime,” Hewitt said in an email interview from Canazei, Italy, a ski resort town in the Dolomite Mountains. “Moving forward from that experience I wanted to establish myself in other leagues around the world as a pro hockey player.”

After finishing out his playing career at UBC and graduating with a degree in sociology, Hewitt said he reached out to some old teammates who were playing in the Australian Ice Hockey League.

“I thought to myself, I just finished five years grinding at university, I want to do something fun for myself,” Hewitt said.

The Melbourne Mustangs and Canberra Brave showed interest, but when the Mustangs ended up signing another goalie, Hewitt headed for the Australian capital. He said he had no idea what to expect.

“I tried to keep an open mind going into the experience,” Hewitt said, adding he knew it would be different compared to Canada’s hockey culture.

What he found in Australia’s largest inland city in the country’s southeast corner, 280 km from Sydney, was a passionate fan base and an organization committed to winning its first Goodall Cup championship.

“Something told me it was meant to be,” he said.

The eight teams of the semi-pro AIHL begin their season in April and play into September.

In his first game, Hewitt allowed

two goals on 31 shots as the Brave defeated the Sydney Bears 4-2.

He said playing in front of a thousand or so hometown fans jammed into the Phillip Swimming and Ice Skating Centre –

also known as the Brave Cave – was exhilarating.

“They take it very serious but also have a lot of fun with it,” he said. “They really take it all in and Continued on page 29

Aztecs extract potential, clear hurdles en route to B.C.s

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The road from point A to B isn’t always straight forward.

For the Alpha Aztecs senior boys soccer team, it’s been a route enriched with experiences.

Those experiences are now going to include the B.C. AA championships next week in Burnaby.

It isn’t that the Aztecs are flying under the radar – the AA circuit hasn’t had any official polls listed on the chief high school sports blog www.varsityletters.ca – but there have been hiccups and injuries through their journey that suggest luck would have to play a part in getting to the B.C.s.

By edging the St.Thomas Aquinas Fighting Saints 1-0 last week, Alpha locked up the zone’s No. 2 berth to the

tourney that starts Monday.

“A very hard fought game with chances on both sides.

Our goalie (Nickolas Vavaris) made some tremendous saves near the end to preserve our win,” remarked

coach Antonio Dal Sasso.

The coach’s sons, Luca and Stefano, combined for the game’s only goal, with a long ball from the eldest chested by Stefano, who drilled it from 20 yards out

with 15 minutes to play.

It came nearly a month after their last big win – a 4-0 victory over Burnaby North in league play.

That fact doesn’t underscore exactly the obstacles Alpha has faced, nor the potential that coach Dal Sasso saw when the season began in September.

“The team is getting stronger as the season progresses.We had a few blips during the season where we lost some games that we pushed and had no business losing,” he said. “We have had players missing and some injuries to key players, but this has also given the chance for others to succeed.”

In league play, the Aztecs were middle-of-the-pack 2-2-3 against mostly AAAlevel teams.Their primary AA rival, Cariboo Hill, prevailed in their lone en-

counter, so when the playoffs began it looked like Alpha had big hurdles to clear to capture that rare provincial ticket.

A 3-1 loss to Windsor, who clinched the zone’s first spot to the B.C.s, came despite a strong effort, the coach noted. “(Windsor) had three shots on net and luckily scored on all three.We pressed the whole game (and) hit the crossbar in the first 10 minutes. I would say we were probably the better team and had more chances, but just couldn’t score,” said Dal Sasso.

The loss of Nicolas Santarelli, to a broken hand suffered in a league playoff match two weeks earlier, complicated matters.

But the core of the Aztecs, with five coming from the premier league’s Mountain United program and most

others from local metro teams, are well-versed in the skill and work ethic required to excel under pressure.

“We thought we would be able to compete at a very high level as we have some of the top players from Mountain FC. ... More than half of these players come from the (Alpha) junior team that won the BurnabyNorth Van banner two years ago against AAA teams.We should be one of the favourites, in my opinion, heading into the AA (provincials).”

Alpha opens the tourney Monday at 9 a.m. against Thomas Haney, then faces Sa-Hali at 12:45 p.m. On Tuesday, they wrap up pool play against Hazelton at 11 a.m., with playoffs beginning later in the day.The AA final is slated for 11 a.m. on Wednesday, at Burnaby Lake West.

May a unanimous choice

Simon Fraser University senior captain Tessa May capped a stellar volleyball career by being selected to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference All-Conference team for the fourth straight year.

May was one of five players unanimously voted to the first team by conference coach-

es after finishing second in hitting percentage (.369), sixth in kills per set (3.38), and seventh in points per set (3.94).

Earlier, sophomore libero Bianca Te of Burnaby was selected to the All-Academic team for the first time after registering a cumulative GPA of 4.17 in kinesiology.

Have blocker, will travel of Canberra’s first hockey championship was a special moment.

“Winning the Goodall Cup with the Brave was a memory of a lifetime that you can’t buy,” he said.

But with Hewitt’s body conditioned to starting a hockey season in September, and his itch to see the world still scratching, he didn’t have much time to celebrate.

Hewitt turned his attention to Europe, but most teams there set their roster by mid-August. A connection with fellow UBC almunus Neil Manning led him to the Fassa Falcons, a team that hasn’t had much success in the Alps Hockey League, a second-tier pro circuit comprised of 17 teams in Italy, Austria and Slovenia.

Those facts alone checked off a lot of things for the former Vancouver Northeast Chiefs netminder. Although he’s looking forward to seeing the continental sights, Hewitt expects to see a lot of rubber with his new club.

“I’m looking forward to helping the team and see what we can do,” he said.

It wasn’t until the Falcons’ 11th game before

they finally won, when Hewitt made 29 saves in a 3-2 victory over last place EC KAC. He’s faced a lot of shots – 200 in the five games he’s played since joining the team after some initial visa issues. And his thirst for adventure is being quenched; on Nov. 1, the Falcons’ game against the Wipptal Broncos had to be postponed because of a landslide in the mountains.

But it is all part of the journey – which has taken him halfway across the globe.

“I’m having a blast,” Hewitt said.
