Blaze reaffirms pipeline concerns: city Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A “spectacular blaze” at an unoccupied tool shed just 120 metres or so from Trans Mountain’s Burnaby Mountain tank farm Saturday underscores once again how close people are living to giant tanks filled with crude oil and other flammable products, according to the City of Burnaby.

“There’s always a threat when there’s a fire in the surrounding area that may impact or could impact the facility,” director of corporate services Dipak Dattani told the NOW. The fire broke out just

before 8 p.m. at the east end of Aubrey Road, but crews responding from Fire Hall 1 could see flames from as far away as Highway 1 and Kensington Avenue, according to assistant fire Chief Barry Mawhinney.

“It was a substantial fire to begin with,” he said at the scene. It took 34 firefighters 45 minutes to put out the blaze, he said.

Their efforts were hampered by low pressure in the nearest fire hydrant at Aubrey Road and Pinehurst Drive.The hydrant is located at the very end of a water main and was downhill from the burning shed, forcing crews to string fire

trucks along a network of supply lines to pump the water to the scene, explained deputy fire Chief Dave Samson.

“There was plenty of water there, just not pressure,” he said.

As for the fire’s proximity to the tank farm, Samson said the blaze was about 120 metres from the property and 230 metres from the nearest tank.

“We knew the proximity, so once we determined that there was no life concerns in the fire area, our priority was absolutely to keep the fire from spreading,” Samson said.

Wet conditions and fa-

vourable winds made the fire relatively easy to contain, but Mawhinney said it would have been a much different story if it had happened during the dry summer months.

The incident highlights how “built up” the area near the tank farm is, according to Dattani, and why the city has spent years opposing the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.

“It could be a fire starting within the tank farm or starting in adjoining areas and then creating a problem for the facility,” Dattani said. “It could go either way, but our fundamental issue that we have presented to

the National Energy Board is the concern of having such a facility or terminal within a built-up area where there is lots of residential homes, a school and Simon Fraser University.”

Trans Mountain said in a statement that it had an emergency response technician onsite during the fire, and the company was prepared to respond by activating a “fire pre-plan.”

In 65 years,Trans Mountain has never had a storage tank fire at one of its terminals, the statement said, and its facilities are “designed and operated to industry best practices and meet the most stringent fire safety

standards.”

The Burnaby tank farm is also equipped with extra safety measures, the company said, including 24/7 monitoring for fire detection and a fire suppression system that includes a FireBozz sprinkler system to counteract wildfires either inside or outside the fence.

“This system is designed for wildfire-urban structure protection and can be deployed along our fence line,” the company said, ading it will enhance emergency response plans with the expansion of the tank farm.

But according to Dattani, the city has not yet seen the completed plans.

Citynow TRAFFIC

Light installed at scene of fatality

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

One year after a 15-yearold Brazilian exchange student was killed at a notorious Burnaby crosswalk, the city has finished installing a full traffic signal there.

Fernanda Girotto was hit and killed at the crossing on Cariboo Road near the Highway 1 overpass on Jan. 17, 2018. Police have since laid motor vehicle charges against two drivers.

A day after her death, a cyclist was hit near the crossing, and another pedestrian was seriously injured there in a hit-and-run two days after that.

The accidents sparked outrage from neighbours who had been raising concerns with the city about the crossing for years.

Staff had assessed the crosswalk a few months earlier but determined it didn’t get enough foot traffic to warrant a light.

The public uproar after the three crashes, however, prompted an about-face, and the city rushed to install safety improvements, in-

Council then approved $450,000 to fund a full traffic signal.

That signal has now been installed.

“I’m just happy to see

they followed through and that they’ve done it. I really am,” said Kay McDonald, a Cariboo Heights co-op resident who first petitioned the city to get a traffic light in the area in 2004.

“I hope it’s put an end

to problems out there,” she said.

Alexander John, comptroller at Cariboo Christian Fellowship next to the crosswalk, had lobbied the city for a pedestrian-controlled light there for a year before

Girotto’s death.

“We’re grateful that finally the city has installed this, and it seems to be working well,” he said of the new full traffic signal.

Lee unfazed by late entry into byelection race Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The Liberal Party of Canada has found a new challenger for NDP leader Jagmeet Singh in Burnaby South.

Former BC Liberal MLA Richard Lee has replaced KarenWang as the Liberal nominee in the Feb. 25 byelection to fill the seat left vacant by Kennedy Stewart, now the mayor ofVancouver.

Lee, who represented Burnaby North in the provincial legislature for 16 years before losing to New Democrat Janet Routledge in 2017, said he was the only candidate to submit papers for the nomination the second time around.

“I’m honoured to be the candidate and I look forward to listening to the people in this riding and the concerns of their issues in Burnaby South,” he said.

Lee said he wasn’t worried about entering the race late, after the unraveling of the previous Liberal candidate.Wang pulled

out of the campaign after a WeChat post from her account drew attention to her being the only candidate of Chinese descent in the race and pointed to Singh’s Indian heritage. A later attempt to regain the Liberal nomination was rejected by the party.

Lee said his 16 years in the legislature and 32 years of living in Burnaby have prepared him to serve as the member of Parliament for Burnaby South.

“That will help me because I know the community and the concerns and the issues of the local community,” he said.

Lee named what he believes to be the three top issues in the byelection: the economy, job creation and housing. He touted the Liberals’ plan to spend $40 billion on their national housing strategy over the next 10 years.

“That’s a lot of money,” he said.

Lee also pledged support for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, which he said will create

jobs.The project is currently on hold as the National Energy Board reviews its impact on marine habitat and while First Nations await new consultations with the government.

Lee said the government needs to listen to First Nations and community con-

cerns about safety and impacts to the environment, such as how increased tanker traffic will impact the ocean. Lee said the government has committed to a $1.5-billion program to protect the environment from such things as oil spills.

“Those kinds of actions

are really important for the community, so that our local community will support the pipeline,” said Lee, adding that he’s lived in the community a long time. “I know local concerns about safety.”

lic safety committee, said he hopes the light will prevent more accidents and make the crossing safer, but added “traffic lights by themselves are not going to save any lives unless drivers and pedestrians will take care in crossing and going through crosswalks.”

When asked if the city had learned anything from the problems at the crosswalk, he said, “What’s there to learn? There was an accident. A young lady was killed and the motorists have been charged with negligent driving.Those are things that no council, no committee can prevent when you have drivers that do not observe the laws of the road. It doesn’t matter how many laws we put in and how many regulations and how many lights, if you have drivers that don’t observe those regulations and laws, what’s any person going to do?”

When asked if installing the full traffic light was the right thing to do, Calendino said, “That’s a silly questions, isn’t it? Of course it’s the right thing.”

Ex-Green candidate says he’s running A former B.C. Green Party candidate says he will run as an independent in the Burnaby South byelection.

ValentineWu, who garnered 13 per cent of the Burnaby-Edmonds vote in the 2017 provincial election, announced it on Twitter.

“I here announce that I am working to run as Independent Candidate at Burnaby South,” read the tweet.

Wu was named as a candidate for the Burnaby Greens in the 2018 civic election but pulled his name from contention.The federal Green party decided to not run a candidate against NDP leader Jagmeet Singh in the byelection.

The NOW has reached out to interviewWu since last week, but he had not returned phone calls by deadline.

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS

POLITICS

Conservatives, Wang argue over who rejected whom Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The Conservative Party of Canada rejected Karen Wang as a potential candidate before her short-lived Liberal party candidacy in the Burnaby South byelection, according to MP Michelle Rempel.

Rempel said Wang approached her party, wanting to run in the 2019 federal election.

“The Conservative Party of Canada said no to this candidate over a year ago,” she said. “There was a reason for that.”

Rempel would not specify what that reason was.

“My understanding is that there were some discussions with this particular individual and the party decided for reasons regarding her judgment, that became clear today, to not allow her to run for us,” she said.

But Wang told a different version of events.

She confirmed that she had been in talks with the Conservatives to run in either Burnaby North–Seymour or Burnaby South in the 2019 general election but said she turned them down, not the other way around.

“Who rejected who?”

Wang said. “After the study of the policies, between both parties ... I strongly believe in the federal Liberals.”

Rempel made the comments at a press conference in Burnaby last week. She was joined by Conservative candidate Jay Shin, who is running in the Feb. 25 Burnaby South byelection.

The Calgary-based parliamentarian called the press conference to call on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to initiate a review of Canada’s immigration screening process. (See story on page 8.)

Rempel’s comments came just hours after Wang dropped out of the race.

She came under fire for a

WeChat post in which she identified herself as the “only Chinese candidate” in the byelection and pointed out that her opponent, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, is of Indian heritage.

The post was translated from Chinese and reported by the newspaper StarMetro Vancouver.

“My choice of words wasn’t well-considered and didn’t reflect my intent, and for that, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Singh,”Wang said in a statement. “I have deep respect for him as the leader of his party and for his public service – and I would never want to diminish that in any way.”

Rempel condemned the WeChat post, calling it “racism plain and simple.”

Shin said he was shocked

by Wang’s comments.

“I’m offended as a Korean person, as a Korean-Canadian,” he said. “There’s no place for that.”

You have worked hard – start enjoying life!

Singh unveils ‘bold’ plan to build 500,000 affordable homes Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh revealed on Monday the first part of his “bold” plan to build 500,000 affordable homes across Canada over the next 10 years.

At a press conference in Burnaby South, where he hopes to win a Feb. 25 byelection, Singh challenged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to implement three measures to address the country’s “housing crisis.”The Liberal government should eliminate general sales tax for developers building affordable homes, subsidize low-income renters and double the firsttime homebuyers’ tax credit, Singh said.

“I challenge Mr.Trudeau to include these three measures in the upcoming federal budget,” he said.

Singh was accompanied at the press conference by a local woman he said exem-

plified the struggles of renters in the area.

Farrah Gavina, a nurse who works night shifts at a Burnaby nursing home, said she lives in fear of being renovicted – evicted by a landlord wanting to renovate.The mother of three said she can’t afford to rent an apartment big enough for her sons.

“Her story is not unique,” Singh said. “There’s so many people in Canada that are spending so much of their salary, so much of their monthly salary on rent.”

Singh said his three proposals would help people like Gavina.

A subsidy for renters paying more than a third of their income on rent could help many Canadians pay their bills, he said. Singh had few details on the proposal, saying he would have more information in the coming months.

“We’ll look at the different mechanisms to deliver

this relief,” he said.

The plan for 500,000 affordable housing units includes both private and public development, Singh said. He had few details on Monday on his party’s vow to “aggressively” invest in non-market housing but said his plan to eliminate federal sales taxes for the construction of affordable homes will incentivize developers to build housing for those who need it most.

According to The Globe and Mail, the tax exemption was part of the Liberals’ 2015 campaign platform but the government retracted the promise in 2017, saying research had shown it was not the best strategy to build affordable housing.

The third part of Singh’s challenge to Trudeau called on him to double a federal tax credit for first-time homebuyers from $750 to $1,500.The money would help cover costs incurred in closing a sale, he said.

“We want to support people so they can one day achieve that dream of home ownership, and providing that extra help will ensure that people can actually buy a home,” he said.

Singh’s Conservative opponent in the byelection, Jay Shin, issued a press release shortly after the New Democrat’s press conference.

The Conservatives said Singh’s tax credit amounts to an endorsement of Conservative policy, as that party introduced the tax credit when it was in power in 2009.

“Jagmeet Singh is using the Burnaby South byelection to save his political life, and now he’s trying to sell Conservative ideas as his own,” Shin’s statement said.

Before Singh’s announcement, his Liberal opponent, Richard Lee, touted the government’s plan to spend $40 billion over the next decade on its national housing strategy.

Fire highlights concerns about tank farm

The fire that raged Saturday night on Burnaby Mountain is out, but embers of concern are still burning for North Burnaby residents – especially those who live on top of the mountain at UniverCity.

An unoccupied workshop/storage area went up in flames next door to the Trans Mountain tank farm facility.

It took 34 Burnaby firefighters to put out the fire.

Thankfully, nobody was hurt and the fire didn’t reach the tank farm.

But it could have, if the fire had happened dur-

ing a different time of year or under different conditions than those on Saturday night, according to the Burnaby Fire Department.

Assistant fire chief Barry Mawhinney called the winds that night “favourable” – meaning they didn’t blow hot cinders in the direction of the tank farm.

Secondly, the fire took place on a damp winter night. Mawhinney said that if this had been during a dry summer stretch, things could have turned out much differently.

Imagine it – dry grass and trees, parched from hot

summer weather, catching fire as cinders land on them.

We don’t think it’s fearmongering to consider how this blaze would have turned out at a different time of year.

The NOW has received many emails and social media comments from locals worried about the same thing.

Compounding the fire situation Saturday night was the difficulty firefighters had getting water to the site.The location of the fire was on a road that was at the top of a slope. Fire-

fighters had trouble getting enough water pressure.

They had to connect hundreds of feet of hoses all the way down Aubrey Street to a hydrant.

Time is of the essence during a fire and that extra time to get water to the fire Saturday has highlighted a gap in services for this area.

The Burnaby Fire Department has previously expressed concerns about the tank farm in light of the Trans Mountain project’s plan to expand pipeline capacity.

A May 2015 risk analysis by the department found a

worst-case disaster scenario at the facility – the explosion of a burning crude oil tank known as a “boilover” – could cut SFU and UniverCity off from emergency services while unleashing toxic gases and fires.

“It is anticipated that the consequences of boilover exposure within the areas identified would include human injuries to emergency responders and unevaluated civilians, mass tree-top based wildland fire initiation, structural fire initiation to many residential buildings … and significant isolation of the SFU and

UniverCity communities,” states the fire department report.

There is no fire hall on Burnaby Mountain, despite a growing population in the tens of thousands and the fact that there are only two access points, which actually become just one access point partway down the mountain.

Sure, the chances of something like this happening seem to be remote.

Thankfully, the fire stayed in place.

It’s the “what if?” that should really worry people.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Knives ready for NDP leader

Byelections at any level are rarely game-changers, but in an unusual twist, we have two such contests underway in this province.

The stakes are huge in both races.

The federal byelection in Burnaby South may determine the political future of federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, who is running there even though he hails from Ontario.The man he replaced as leader,Tom Mulcair, has mused publicly that the “knives” will come out should Singh lose.

Singh insists he will remain leader even if he does lose. In a sense, he can’t really say anything different because to do so would look weak.While the riding was won by the NDP in 2015, the margin of victory was fewer than 600 votes so it’s hardly a safe seat.

Further complicating matters is the sudden emergence of Richard Lee, who won the Burnaby North riding for the BC Liberals in four straight elections.

He was named as the new candidate Saturday after the resignation of Karen Wang.

Lee is no pushover, obviously. Former Premier Gordon Campbell once jokingly told me “we don’t really know how Richard always wins but given that he does, I’m not going to ask questions.”

I still think the odds favour Singh in this battle (being a party leader brings some swagger with voters) but it’s going to be close on Feb. 25. If he loses, we will see if Mulcair’s talk about

knives proves to be true and his leadership becomes threatened.

Across the pond in Nanaimo, voters will head to the polls on Jan. 30 to elect a replacement for longtime NDP MLA Leonard Krog, who quit to successfully run for the Nanaimo mayoralty.

On paper, this should be a no-brainer win for the NDP.The party has won 11 of the past 12 elections there and Krog’s margin of victory has averaged around 3,300 votes the last four general elections.

But byelections are often weird political events.Voter turnout is usually low and, in this province, the sitting government rarely wins byelections (just two of the last 24 of them have gone the government’s way).

In any event, an upset victory by the BC Liberals would produce a tie in the provincial legislature: 43 seats each for the B.C. Liberals and the ruling NDP/ Green Party alliance.

As I noted in this space a couple of weeks back, such an outcome would not necessarily trigger an immediate election (the Speaker would vote with the government to break any tie on a confidence vote) but it would more than likely lead to one in the spring of 2020.

Such are the potentially pivotal outcomes of these two byelections. Given what’s at stake in both of them, perhaps voter turnout will finally be achieve adequate levels.

Oak trees cut to eliminate bugs Residents in the 3700 block of Cambridge Street were hopeful in July that the city had finally put an end to an unwelcome annual “bug fest” in their neighbourhood. Every summer, millions of caterpillars and aphids had been secreting slimy goo all over their homes, sidewalks and vehicles. After years of lobbying and failed efforts by parks staff, the city decided to eliminate the critters by cutting their food source: nine red oak trees.The trees were cut down and a compromise reached between the city and residents as to the variety that would replace them.

‘Horrified’ at pipeline work that’s being done

Editor: Where were Kinder Morgan’s emergency response workers when the flames shot up into the sky at Aubrey and Pinehurst on Saturday night?

A building near the tank farm exploded into fire in the rainy season. What would have happened if it had been the middle of summer?

I am horrified that so much piping and fencing work is continuing at the tank farm. Who is enforcing the law that should be protecting the land and people from corporate destruction?

The resources poured into policing principled land defenders should instead be focused on holding Kinder Morgan accountable for the unacceptable risks of expanding pollution.

The tank farm is a fire hazard that we cannot afford to expand. We are in a climate emergency, and Saturday’s fire is a warning that we need to take seriously.

Rita Wong, Burnaby Editor’s note: The Burnaby Fire Department says the oil company was notified of the fire, according to procedures, but the department had it under control.

I’m 96 and I don’t want your pipeline,Alberta Editor: At the end of 2018, I very carefully clipped out all that was in the paper about the story of the year and put it away where I can look at it at the

end of this year and see where our new mayor of Burnaby has succeeded.

I am so glad we had Derek Corrigan and his council in as long as they were. They are the ones that have made south Burnaby great.

We have everything here and Corrigan and his council really did everything well. We have good parks and the water and sewers have been well looked after. We don’t want our beautiful coastline destroyed.

Thanks for your front page of your first Burnaby NOW of the year 2019. The new mayor has a lot he has to do to get us through. Corrigan was a lawyer and had respect for First Nations people and the land. He did what he could for our beautiful B.C. The new mayor will find he has lots to fight against.

I like what you have right at the top of your paper, “local news, local matters.”

That is when you get the truth and that is what people want.

So thanks for what you are doing. I look forward to your good local news every Thursday.

I know what is going on here in B.C. I’m an elderly lady, now 96 and I have lived in south Burnaby since 1929.

It’s a wonderful place to live and the rest of Canada is thinking it is too.

We don’t want to be invaded by the federal Liberals back east or the Albertans with pipelines.

So keep on keeping on Burnaby NOW. You are doing a great job.

We have a lot of wealth here. I pray daily for you people and also our Burnaby council that they will help keep our new mayor on track.

Conservatives link Shen murder to screening ports Rempel’s motion. He said that decision should fall to the appropriate committee members.

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel chose Burnaby South as the venue to repeat her call for a review of Canada’s immigration screening process.

The Calgary MP held a press conference alongside Jay Shin, her party’s candidate in the Feb. 25 byelection.

Shin is facing NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, Liberal Richard Lee, independent Valentine Wu and LauraLynn Tyler Thompson of the People’s Party.

Rempel invoked the murder of Burnaby teen Marrisa Shen in her call for a joint parliamentary committee study “into how our security screening process can be strengthened.”

“Residents of Burnaby know all too well the consequences of poor security screening after the horrific and tragic murder of a young girl in 2017,” she said. “Cases like this high-

light the gaps in our immigration screening system.”

Ibrahim Ali, a 28-yearold Syrian national who came to Canada as a refugee from Syria, was charged with Shen’s murder.There is no publicly known evidence to suggest Ali had a

criminal record in Syria that was missed by Canadian officials.

Rempel said she will present a motion proposing the study in the House of Commons when it resumes sitting later this month.

“A parliamentary study is

the perfect venue to study this issue and hold Justin Trudeau to account to ensure Canadian safety,” she said.

Lee (who has replaced the Liberals’ former candidate, Karen Wang), said he wasn’t sure whether he sup-

But, Lee said, Canada’s current immigration processes are already working well.

“I believe we have a really good screening process with the UN standard,” he said.

“I believe Canada is open to diversity, so that is our strength; and, of course, we have to ensure that our border is safe and secure.”

Singh said he wasn’t sure whether New Democrats

would support Rempel’s motion, as he didn’t know its specifics, but he said he supports “a comprehensive review of our immigration system and that includes the screening process.”

“I think we need to make sure our immigration system has the balance of being compassionate as a system, as well as delivering safety and security,” he said.

On Shen’s murder, Singh said “if there is any evidence of a mistake in this screening process, that’s something that we should learn from.”

But he said he was concerned that the case is being politicized.

“The vast majority of people that come to Canada are peace-loving and hardworking and contribute to our society and we can’t allow for a horrible murder to be politicized in any way,” Singh said.

Singh would not say whether he thought the Conservatives were politicizing the crime.

Man charged after dog shot A 28-year-old man has been arrested and charged

by Metro Vancouver Transit Police after a dog was shot in the paw during an argument with the dog’s owner at a Burnaby transit station.

At approximately 8:20 a.m. on Jan. 15, two men began arguing in the area of Metrotown SkyTrain station over the sale of a cellphone.

“The men were previously known to one another and panhandle together in the area of the Metrotown SkyTrain station and bus loop,” said a Transit Police news release.

“As the argument escalated, one of the men allegedly pulled a pistol-style BB-gun from his jacket and demanded the cellphone, saying he would shoot the dog.The suspect then allegedly shot the dog once, hitting the dog’s front paw and causing it to bleed.”

Transit Police say its officers conducted patrols in the area, heard the men arguing and approached. A suspect was arrested and a

City now Families ‘outraged’ over loss of youth worker Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

*Warning:This story contains adult language.

Burnaby and NewWestminster families are outraged that youth struggling with addictions in the middle of an opioid overdose crisis are losing an outreach worker who’s forged ties with them for two decades.

For about 20 years, Marilyn Benning has worked as a youth addiction outreach worker in Burnaby and NewWest. She’s spent the last 12 years or so at Fraser Health’sYouth Substance Use Outreach Services program, working out of its 7155 Kingsway office, and she has been a lifesaver for marginalized kids battling serious addiction and mental health issues, according to clients and their families.

“She operates like a human being,” Burnaby parent Andrea Klaver told the NOW. “She operates like you would want a parent to treat their kid. She’ll drive you; she’ll meet you; she’ll get you services that you need; she won’t give up on you; she’ll find those nooks and crannies, ‘Oh, maybe we’ll try this or this or this.’

People call her. She was there for the birth of one of her client’s babies in the delivery room.”

‘REALIGNING’ Earlier this month, however, Benning’s clients and their families learned her program had been cut and the funding moved to external contractors: Odyssey I, run by the Boys and Girls Club in North Burnaby, and SHARE Family and Community Services in Coquitlam.

Fraser Health officials say the decision was made because the health authority had gotten feedback from the Burnaby Child and Youth Mental Health Services Local Action Committee and the school districts saying the duplication of outreach services at BurnabyYouth Substance Use Outreach Services, Odyssey and SHARE was confusing.

Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the health authority was “realigning” its resources.”

“By reallocating funding to Odyssey I, parents, teachers and others now have one point of contact to refer youth to outreach substance use services in Burnaby and NewWestminster,” she said.

But Burnaby school board chair GaryWong said district staff had been “taken off guard” by the move “It was implied that we, as a school district, were aware of and consulted with regarding these changes.We, in fact, were not,” he said at a meeting Tuesday.

Wong said there had been discussions in 2017 about challenges around referring youth to Fraser Healthfunded addiction outreach services, but the health authority had not followed up on those discussions.

“There was the consultation, and we talked about some of the challenges but not what their solution to the situation was,” he said.

Now that the decision has been made, however,Wong said the district is willing to take Fraser Health at its word that the changes will lead to a better system.

“Hopefully it does work out, and, certainly, if it doesn’t, they’re going to hear from us,”Wong said.

Concerns about the deci-

About 35 people, including parents, clients, an alternate education teacher and a youth employment counsellor appeared in front of the school board’s Jan. 15 operations policy and planning committee, urging the district and board to oppose the move.

“Not only are we here, but our families are here and thriving and we’ve got jobs and we’re living our lives and that’s because of these services, and we believe if we cut these services we don’t know what’s going to happen to the youth of our community, our communities,” one former client of Benning’s said.

Fraser Health maintains the services aren’t being cut – the funding is simply be-

er kids when Marilyn’s service gets yanked and there’s nothing similar to replace it?” Klaver asked. “I don’t know. Do you think something good’s going to happen?”

Her fears are not unfounded, according to Kirsty Peterson, a longtime employment counsellor who has worked closely with Benning.

Even if a new youth addiction outreach worker is hired at Odyssey, a lot of clients have said they’ll refuse to go, according to Peterson.

“Youth build relationships with the people they work with.That’s sort of the bottom line of youth counselling,” she said. “The services are important but the relationships that they build and the trust they build is what keeps them engaged.”

ing moved to other organizations doing the same work.

“Odyssey I is an experienced services provider, already offering outreach substance use services for youth in Burnaby and NewWestminster,” Juma said.

To ease the transition, she said Fraser Health has extended the transition period till the end of February.

‘IT’S NOT THE SAME’ Benning won’t be moving on to Odyssey, however, and Klaver said the service Odyssey provides is not the same thing kids have been getting from Benning.

“They will tell you that they’re outreach workers because they leave their building sometimes to go for school appointments,” Klaver said. “That’s not the same as someone that’s out in

the community all the time building relationships.You can use the same word for it, but it’s not the same.”

Benning did not respond to a request for an interview from the NOW, but Klaver said the outreach worker was not looking to move on to another job in the health authority.

“She doesn’t want to go anywhere. Fraser Health is yanking her job,” Klaver said.

The Burnaby mother said she is “f***ing outraged” at the health authority’s decision and the impact it will have on kids, including her daughter, who struggles with addiction and had known Benning for about a year before “working up enough courage to even meet with her.”

“What will happen to my daughter and all the oth-

WARNING Klaver fears the consequences could be dire for her daughter and other youth when Benning leaves.

The Burnaby mom has started a Facebook page and signed an online petition aimed at Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy (MLA for NewWestminster) and Premier John Horgan.The petition, which had garnered 392 signatures as of Tuesday morning, calls on them to reinstate the youth addiction outreach worker positions.

Klaver also has a personal message for health officials responsible for the decision and those who could step in to stop it but don’t.

“Those kids that die because of your decision, their blood is on your hands,” she said. “If it’s my kid, you better believe I’m going to be knocking on your door with a picture.”

NEB rejects city’s arguments

Company justifies impacts in submission to the NEB

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Work will go on at the Trans Mountain tank farm, against the wishes of the City of Burnaby.

The National Energy Board announced it had rejected a request from the municipality to rescind two orders authorizing the pipeline company to relocate a decommission pipes at its Burnaby Mountain facility.

The orders in question allow Trans Mountain to install 1.6 kilometres of new piping and to decommission 1.3 km of pipe.

“The decision enables the company to continue its ongoing work to modify existing piping and related infrastructure within the facility,” reads an NEB statement.

Following the Federal Court of Appeal ruling in August that quashed the federal government’s approval of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, the city asked the NEB to quash the two permits.The

municipality argued the work was, in fact, related to the expansion.

“In its decision, the NEB found that the piping modifications at the Burnaby terminal are not associated with the expansion project and that the relocation and decommissioning orders appropriately allow Trans

Mountain to optimize the site in preparation to offer new services to shippers,” the statement reads. “The NEB also permitted the company to continue tree clearing as part of the approved works.”

The replacement piping being installed will “improve the integrity of the Burna-

by terminal,” according to the NEB. In a separate letter to the NEB, the City of Burnaby said Trans Mountain has been doing work outside the two standing orders and has been going ahead with the expansion project without permission.The company denied that assertion.

The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project will have “significant environmental effects,” but these are “justified” because the project is of utmost national importance.

This is a key point made in Trans Mountain’s submission to the National Energy Board’s reconsideration of the project. It was filed on Friday, and makes the case the project is so important that it justifies the environmental effects.

The submission says that the NEB, in its previous review – which was struck down last August by the Federal Court of Appeal – “found three significant adverse environmental effects that were likely to result from Project-related marine shipping.Trans Mountain submits that these significant effects are justified in the circumstances given the critical need for the Project and its important benefits for Canada, as found by the Board in the original pro-

ceeding, as well as the record of this Reconsideration hearing which demonstrates that all technically and economically feasible mitigation measures to reduce effects on SRKW (Southern Resident Killer Whales), Indigenous use related to SRKW, and greenhouse gas emissions from Project-related marine shipping have been, or will be, taken.”

Trans Mountain’s submission says that the NEB previously concluded that the project’s “considerable” benefits included market diversification, job creation, domestic competition among pipelines, local and regional economic growth resulting from pipeline materials procurement, and revenues to various levels of government.

Trans Mountain contends that the project “has been, and will continue to be, the catalyst for enhanced environmental protection in the Salish Sea.”

Province pledges $4 million in new care-aide funding Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Seniors in residential care in Burnaby are going to get more help with day-to-day activities thanks to a nearly $4 million increase in careaide funding for local care homes this year.

Health Minister Adrian Dix and Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Anne Kang, the parliamentary secretary for seniors, were at New Vista care home in Burnaby Tuesday for the announcement.

Under guidelines adopted by the Health Ministry in 2009, each senior living in a residential care home should get 3.36 hours of direct care per day for things like bathing, dressing and even just a few unrushed words of conversation.

“We’re not talking about anything frivolous,” Dix said.

But care hours weren’t being funded at the recommended levels when

the NDP came to power in 2017, according Dix, especially in Burnaby.

New Vista, he said, was being funded for just 2.72 hours per resident per day, but his government aims to change that this year.

In 2018/19, the province will spend an extra $3.9 million in Burnaby so that every senior gets at least three hours of direct care per day.

The new funding is part of a three-year plan to increase direct-care hours for seniors around the province to 3.36 hours per resident per day by 2021.

Provincewide, the plan will cost $240 million over the next three years.

“People living in residential care and their families expect to receive the best day-to-day assistance possible, and this investment is a key pillar of the province’s strategy to improve supports for patients outside of hospital,” Kang said. “Staff

at residential care homes in Fraser Health work incredibly hard and care a great deal for the seniors they serve.These investments support them with the resources needed to increase the level of care they provide and continue making their facilities a place residents can proudly call home.”

“Camryn makes it very, very easy to fall in love with Annie’s story. She’s a very genuine performer, and to share the stage with her is a dream,” Cowan says. “She really brings Annie to life.”

Cowan has nothing but praise for all the young performers, ranging from the ages of seven or so up to their early teens, playing the band of orphans in this outing.

“My goodness, the girls that play the orphans? Oh wow! They’re so talented and so committed, they’re so committed to what they’re doing.They definitely inspire us adults to step up our game and step up our energy,” Cowan says, adding that the young performers are all very focused.

“They’re really dedicated to their art and to their craft.

They’re working really hard.

They’re just a lovely group of children, a lovely group of younger performers.”

Add in the adult performers, who are also similarly dedicated, and Cowan says it’s a well-balanced cast.

And, as she has found in four previous appearances with Align Entertainment – in Shrek,The Addams Family,The Little Mermaid and Legally Blonde – she says the company has created a supportive community for all the performers.

“I’ve always felt that way, that Align has a way of bringing together this group of people who are so supportive.There’s the camaraderie. … It’s always been a very positive experience doing a show with Align.

You feel like family, you really do.”

Cowan’s excited for the chance to bring a new production of the beloved musical – featuring iconic

“I think everyone has an experience with Annie,” she says. “It’s a new experience, of course, because it’s a new cast and it’s a new dynamic with every actor that’s in this. … We’ve got a story to tell, and our Annie is going to be different than somebody else’s Annie.”

As with Align Entertain-

ment’s previous shows, the musical is aimed at providing family-friendly entertainment – something that’s important to Cowan.

“I love being a part of productions that are family-oriented because I feel that when a child comes to the theatre, this could be their first experience of seeing live theatre.This could be their first experience to kind of spark that curiosi-

ty of ‘Oh, I could do that,’” she says. “It’s definitely a family-oriented show. It’s a wonderful journey for the family to be part of. It’s just full of hope and full of love; there’s just some beautiful, warm, sensitive moments in the show.There’s a lot of laughter. And the music – you’ll walk away singing these songs.”

Communitynow Public library puts kids in touch with technology Kids and technology are a natural fit – and Burnaby Public Library is giving local students plenty of chances to get their hands on tech.

The library has a number of upcoming programs to introduce children to the world of technology and coding. (Note that some of these programs are very popular, so sign up quickly, and be sure to check the library’s website for up-todate availability, as it can change quickly.)

Among them: FUN WITH ELECTRONICS: LITTLEBITS LittleBits is a collection that allows children to experiment and invent with electricity and its applications. A course for kids aged

eight to 10 is on Saturday, Feb. 2 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) branch at 6100 Willingdon Ave. Each child must bring a participating adult.

There are also sessions on Saturday, March 2 at the Tommy Douglas branch (7311 Kingsway), with seven- to nine-year-olds from 2 to 3 p.m. and 10- to 12-year-olds from 4 to 5 p.m. Registration for those opens Feb. 11 at www.bpl. bc.ca/events, at the information desk of the library or by calling 604-522-3971.

BurnabyNOW THURSDAY January 24, 2019 23

City now Let’s end the mommy wars It’s time to stop fighting over who has it tougher: stay-at-home or working moms have for my upcoming work week.

When it comes to managing the household, the list of menial tasks for parents is endless – working or not. But there seems to be this ongoing desire to differentiate between the status quo of modern-day moms, with people constantly asking: “Does she work outside the home, or is she a stay-athome mom?”

And then passing judgment based on the response, assuming that one role has it harder than the other.

This dated debate has dragged on through the decades, and continues to come up in conversations today.

In a recent interview, Catherine Reitman (creator, executive producer, writer and star of CBC’s comedy series Workin’ Moms), was asked, “Who has it worse: working moms, or stay-athome moms?” and her an-

Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

As I write this, I’m mentally running through my must-do list for Monday.

Remember the bass clarinet for my oldest daughter’s band practice, write a cheque for her volleyball jersey deposit, and sign the field trip permission forms for her class ski trip. Enrol my son in spring soccer, reschedule his dentist appointment, and return his library books that are nearly past due. Register my youngest for kindergarten, remember to put her favourite dress in the dryer so it’s ready when she wakes up, and pick up some more sandwich meat for school lunches.

These are just a few of the things on my list and none have even touched on the running to-do list that I

swer was spot on.

She began by sharing that she has been on both sides and that whether you’re a working or stay-at-home parent, the juggling act remains the same. She explains, “As a stay-at-home mom, I just never felt present with my child, I always felt this guilt and longing for selfish development.”

I know firsthand that for a stay-at-home mom, it can be easy to lose yourself in your familial responsibilities.

Reitman explains, “there has to be something that is strictly mine, where I can exercise my identity” – a key to surviving the selfless act of devoting your time entirely to your children.

She continues, “As a working mom, it’s also impossible because you’re constantly longing for your child, you’re feeling guilty about where you are and what you’re missing.”

On her show, Workin’

Moms, viewers often see Reitman showing the darker side of returning to the corporate world after maternity leave, pumping in the restroom and missing out on milestones while trying to make her mark in the working world. Reitman concludes, “The landscape is an impossible one, and I have a lot of compassion for both sides.”

Whether working, or stayat-home mom, parent to one child, or mom of five, the question should never be which role is tougher, or who has it worse. Instead, we should commend her on how she manages to keep it all together. Show compassion, don’t question a woman’s worth.

Regardless of parental status, the juggle is real.

No pressure: Blind Date, part of the Arts Club on Tour series, is onstage at the Anvil Centre in New West on Jan. 29 and the Shadbolt Centre in Burnaby Feb. 2 and 3. PHOTO COURTESY ARTS CLUB THEATRE

THEATRE

Want to go on a blind date with an audience watching?

Arts Club on Tour show at Shadbolt Feb. 2 and 3 A piece of “spontaneous theatre” that brings an audience member to the heart of the action is onstage at the Shadbolt Centre in February.

Blind Date, part of the Arts Club on Tour series, is on Saturday, Feb. 2 and Sunday, Feb. 3 at 8 p.m.

The critically acclaimed show created by Rebecca Northan has been staged more than 700 times across Canada and the U.S., as well as in London’s West End, and was hailed as “fearless … and very funny”

by The NewYork Times.

Its premise is simple: the sole actor, Mimi, goes on a different blind date each night – with a man chosen from the audience.

“This fly-by-the-seat-ofyour-pants fusion of clown, improv, theatre and social experiment is sure to make

you fall in love with Mimi and celebrate her audiencemember-turned-romantichero,” says a press release.

Don’t worry: No audience members are chosen against their will. Cast members mingle in the lobby before the show to meet audience members and find out who might be interested in participating. Once inside, Mimi doesn’t reveal who her date will be until the show begins.What happens for the next hour-anda-half is anyone’s guess.

“The thesis of Blind Date has always been ‘Everyone is loveable,’” Northan said in the release. “There is great joy in leaning forward in your seat and watching two strangers attempt to connect. It’s what being human is all about.”

Northan, an actor, director, writer and producer,

created the show in 2009.

There are now four women trained to play Mimi in the original Blind Date, plus two other actors who star in Queer Blind Date.

The Arts Club on Tour production features Lili Beaudoin,Tess Degenstein and Ali Froggatt sharing the role of Mimi and taking turns as “scenographers” – providing extra characters, along with Jeff Gladstone.

If you can’t make the Burnaby show, it’s also on at Coquitlam’s Evergreen Cultural Centre from Jan. 22 to 26 and New Westminster’s Anvil Centre on Jan. 29. Get all the details at www.artsclub.com.

Burnaby talent earns OVATION! noms Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

They may be one of the new kids on the musical theatre block, but they’re continuing to prove they’re a force to be reckoned with.

Align Entertainment is a dominant force in the 2019 OVATION! Awards nominations.

The awards, which recognize the best musical theatre in the region, will be presented at the 15th annual awards ceremony on Sunday, Jan. 27 at the Vancouver Academy of Music.

The company earned a host of nominations for the two productions it staged at Burnaby’s Michael J. Fox Theatre in 2018: Legally Blonde, which ran in February, and A Christmas Story, which ran in November.

Communitynow SFU math students help preserve traditional basketry The cedar basketry designs of the Tla’amin Nation, just north of Powell River on the Sunshine Coast, can now be shared with schoolchildren using an interactive, online application where they can recreate these beautiful geometric patterns.

Undergraduate students in SFU’s department of mathematics in Burna-

by collaborated with the nation to design and complete the application.

“We met with members of the Tla’amin Nation and, with the blessing of their chief, Clint Williams, were given some of the basket patterns,” undergrad Laura Gutierrez-Funderburk said in a news release. “They see this as an opportunity to share their culture with us,

and with B.C. schoolchildren.”

She worked on the application with fellow students Jenifer Pham and Howell Tan.They hope to introduce it to schools throughout B.C. as a fun way of introducing Indigenous culture into the classroom while also teaching mathematical concepts.

“Teaching patterns at a

young age is important,” says Pham. “Introducing images and shapes helps with mathematical thinking.”

Working under the supervision of professor Cedric Chauve, the undergrads used Python code to create the basketry program.

They broke the complex Tla’amin patterns into the smallest possible units so

Haley delivers Rakic rakes up junior skating gold Burnaby teen edges clubmate for national junior men’s figure skating title winner FIGURE SKATING

Dan Olson

Burnaby South alum nets winner forWestVirginia Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Just like old times.

Burnaby South alumnus Jermaine Haley has been there before, and experienced some high-stakes hoop pressure.

On Saturday, he got a game-winning shot off to deliver a major upset for his West Virginia Mountaineers, as they knocked off Big-12 powerhouse Kansas 65-64 in Morgantown,West Virginia.

The Mountaineers erased a 64-58 deficit over the final few minutes, keeping the No. 7 Jayhawks off the scoreboard as they closed the gap.

But Kansas had its chances, including a three-point shot with a second remaining (that hit metal). It was another trey attempt with just over 10 seconds remaining that deflected out to Haley, and led to the winning bucket.

The six-foot-seven junior guard caught the ball and drove down court for a layup with 8.5 seconds on the clock to net unranked West Virginia its biggest win of the season.

“Man, it feels good to just get a win, I can tell you that,” Haley said to West Virginia Athletics’ John Antonik. “We were actually looking to get inside, but they denied it,” Haley said of his game-winner. “When I got it, I saw the lane. I was going to go off a screen, but I thought I could get to the hoop.”

It was the Mountaineers’ first conference win of the season, evening their overall record at 9-9.The victory also halted a five-game losing streak.

They also did it with team scoring leader Sagaba Konate sidelined by a knee injury.

Haley counted a teamhigh, as well as tying his personal high this season, 13 points on the night, with five rebounds.

“I felt a different vibe before the game,” Haley said.

“Everybody was extremely locked in, from the coaching staff down to the players, and I’m just glad that we came out on top today.”

Haley transferred to West Virginia after two seasons at a prep program at Odessa College in Texas.

dolson@burnabynow.com

It was a great weekend for personal bests.

Burnaby’s Aleksa Rakic put down a dominating performance in the free program, building on a strong short skate to capture the Canadian Tire national junior men’s figure skating title over the weekend in St. John, New Brunswick.

The 14-year-old, a member of the Champs International Skating Centre of B.C., edged out clubmate Beres Clements for the crown with a final score of 199.10, including the top tally in the free skate at 130.66. Clements, 17, registered a strong 191.02 total, thanks to the second-best mark in the free skate (64.44/126.58).

All numbers were personal bests for Rakic,

whose previous overall PB was 185.08, recorded at an international Junior Grand Prix event last September in the Czech Republic.

The club also saw a silver medal picked up by novice men’s Shuma Mugii, who delivered the second-best free program at 78.89 points, to trail B.C. rival Wesley Chiu 146.83 to 118.39 overall.

Clubmate Shoei Law came in sixth spot.

Champs’ Emily Millard finished third in novice women’s, racking up 125.67 points to Albertan Kaiya Ruiter’s 139.57 points, who took the gold.

In senior women’s competition, Emily Bausback stood 10th overall, while Sarah Tamura placed 14th.

Brian Le came in 17th in senior men’s.

On the dancing side, the novice dance team of

Kiera Kam and Matthew Carter scored silver after posting 105.39 points, trailing just Ontario’s Sophia Kagolovskaya and Kieran MacDonald’s 110.55.The duo, who train with the Vancouver Ice Dance Academy under coaches Aaron Lowe and Megan Wing at Champs’ centre at Burnaby 8-Rinks, built upon their first-place showing at last year’s Minto Summer Skate, and a fourth-place showing at last month’s Skate Canada Challenge.

The senior ice dancing team of Haley Sales and Nikolas Wamsteeker posted the fourth-best score, 167.60.

The pairing ofYuka Orihara and Lee Royer ended up fifth in junior dance, scoring 151.82 points, while Miku Makita and Tyler Gunara finished ninth with 139.31 points.

Vikings aim to fill void in hoop circuit Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The aim this season is to garner experience.

And while the future is where the bigger goals are – at least on paper – this year’s edition of the Burnaby North Vikings senior girls basketball team is doing its best to tie the two together.

With the Burnaby-New West league reduced by one, due to the one-year hiatus taken by perennial league power New Westminster, an opening has arisen that could unlock a door of opportunity.

Burnaby North coach Jennifer Oatway isn’t looking past this week’s game, but she does see a lot of hope for her 15-player strong squad.

“Our playoffs are going to be really interesting,” said Oatway. “Seeding is going to be so important, and it’s exciting to be in the position we’re in right now.”

At 4-1, the Vikings sit alone in first place – but with a huge caveat.The Burnaby South Rebels, whom North hosted on Wednesday (past the NOW’s deadline), stood undefeated with two games in hand. Just one game back are the Burnaby Central Wildcats at 3-1.

The regular season wraps up Monday when the Rebels host winless Byrne Creek, and the Wildcats visit 2-2 Moscrop.

WRESTLING

Mason, Woldring grapple to first Building on strong starts to 2019, Simon Fraser University’s Lauren Mason and Serena Woldring captured their respective weight classes at the Oregon Wrestling Classic last week.

Mason ran off four straight wins en route to her second straight tournament title in the 130-lb. category.

In the final she beat University of Providence’s Dajan Treder by decision.

Woldring gained a lot of momentum with her 40-second fall of Milagros Garcia of Southern Oregon in the quarterfinal. After another win-by-fall over Alberta’s Jessica Rabet, the freshman from Vancouver finished by besting Menlo College’s Emily Sandoval by technical fall for the 191lb. title. in 109-lb. division, Ciara McCrae took second overall, thanks to a strong, threewin start. After falling in the first-place match, McCrae defeateed Kateri Rowell for

second place.

Securing bronze finishes for SFU were Alyvia Fisk, Jenna Garcia and Rebekah Trudel.

On the men’s side, Logan Nelson and Ciaran Ball earned spots on the podium, leading a strong showing by the SFU at the Clackamas Open in Oregon.

For Nelson, a junior in the 174-lb. category, a succession of victories put him in the final, where he lost a close, 10-8 decision to Clackamas’Trajan Hurd.

Ball began his run with three wins in the 285-lb. division.That catapulted him into the semifinal, where he fell to Clackamas’Tommy Mommer but rebounded to place third.

New Westminster’s Connor Pattison shook off a loss by technical fall in his opening 184-lb. match to peel off a pair of wins. In his last match he was edged by fall.

Metro Vancouver home price decline will reverse soon: forecasters Home prices in Metro Vancouver may slide a little further in 2019 but then will recover as demand continues and supply remains constrained, according to a panel of three developers at a 2019 forecast event.

Speaking at the Urban Development Institute’s annual Forecast Luncheon on January 17, Neil Chrystal, president and CEO of Polygon Homes, said, “The singlefamily home market will remain slow, and experience further price corrections…. In order for prices in the multi-family market to stabilize, we must first find the bottom of the single-family market, and I believe this will happen in 2019. 2019 will be the year of a reset in the multi-family sector.

Developers will have to offer new homes at reset prices.”

Chrystal added, “I honestly believe this is a good thing. If any market was overshot it was the high-end single-family sector, and these price adjustments are long overdue, and quite frankly necessary, before the market can move forward again. But I

think we’re near the bottom, because people will need to get on with their lives.”

‘NO BUBBLE TO BURST’ Eric Carlsen, founder and CEO of Anthem Properties, said, “Many are eager for the [home price] bubble to burst. But there is no bubble. This is just a slight adjustment.

More expensive single-family homes will adjust more, and as you move towards the middle and lower end, prices will also adjust a little, stop, and then reverse.

Once the market adjusts to whatever foreign buyers and [those affected by the speculation tax] leave it because of the taxes, new investor demand will take its place and prices will grow from there.”

Carlsen agreed with Chrystal that a market slowdown can only last so long. “There’s still a push on the market. We still have these 15 to 20,000 new households forming every year, no matter what – and they need housing. That’s happening no matter what’s going on in Shaughnessy or the British Properties.”

THE AMAZON EFFECT Third panelist Todd Yuen, president of industrial at Beedie Development Group, pointed to the influx of thousands of new workers from companies such as Amazon as having an effect on the housing market – commonly known as the “Amazon effect.” He cited an anonymous source close to Amazon’s deal to occupy the former Canada Post building in downtown Vancouver, who told Yuen that with Amazon’s employees earning around US80K-$120 a year (CAD $106-$160K), the company was not currently concerned with finding housing for those workers.

“We’re expecting Amazon to bring in about 5,300 employees [to the Canada Post building]… Amazon’s workers want to be in a world-class city like Vancouver. There was no concern about availability of homes or pricing… They want to be here, and they’ll figure out the rest later.”

Lorraine Reinhardt, VCC

by New Westminster Ministerial

Born July 17, 1950 Yorkton, Saskatchewan At Rest January 12, 2019 Delta, British Columbia It is with profound sadness and sorrow that we announce the passing of Pat Jacques. Pat passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Saturday, January 12, 2019 in Surrey Memorial Hospital after an 11 day battle due to complications from pneumonia. Pat was born on July 17, 1950 in Yorkton, Saskatchewan to her parents John and Anne Shuparsky. She was the oldest of three children. Pat and her sisters Isabelle and Doreen grew up on a farm in Wroxton, Saskatchewan before moving to Regina in the early 1960s. In 1965 Pat started attending Balfour Tech High School in Regina. It was there, in 1967 that she met her husband Ron. They dated and were married, October 10, 1970. In 1972, they moved to Prince Albert, which is where their oldest son Ian was born in 1975. In 1977, the family moved to Saskatoon. In 1980, the couple was blessed with twins, Monique and Kevin. They lived in Saskatoon for 11 years before moving to Vancouver in 1988. In the Vancouver area, Pat worked as a bank teller, and as a sales representative for an office equipment company, before joining the Coquitlam NOW newspaper in the early 1990s. Pat had a rewarding and distinguished career with the NOW newspaper as an award-winning sales associate. She retired after 20-plus years with the newspaper. Throughout the years, Pat and Ron travelled extensively seeing the world with their children, but primarily together on 23 cruises. Pat also travelled with Ron sharing in his passion for sports, primarily with his love of coaching and playing competitive softball.

Pat’s other passions included cooking and spending time with her family and friends. She and Ron loved to host and entertain and their gatherings were full of great food, great wine, laughs and great experiences.

Pat is loved and cherished by hundreds of friends.

She is survived by her husband Ron of 48 years, son Ian, son Kevin (Inna), daughter Monique (D’Arcy), grandchildren Payton and Declan, sisters Isabelle (Alan), Doreen (Lorne), along with several nieces, nephews, cousins and aunts.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Surrey Memorial Hospital for their tireless efforts in Pat’s health battle. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Arthritis Society at: https://arthritis.ca

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
