Burnaby protesters greet yellow vests
Far-right movement tries to hold a rally Saturday, fails to get its byelection candidate registered Chris Campbell
ccampbell@burnabynow.com
Chants of “no one is illegal” were heard on the grounds outside Burnaby City Hall on Saturday as a counter-protest was held to disrupt a rally organized by Canada’s yellow vest movement. The yellow vests were outnumbered by the counter-protesters by a wide margin. No more than four yellow vests showed up at
any given time during the rally. The yellow vest movement has been criticized for its far-right views, especially regarding its opposition to immigration. Things got heated at times, with some people getting up close and personal, but the situation remained peaceful. Both sides used megaphones to get their messages out. The yellow vest-affiliated
National Citizens Alliance said in an email on Friday that it was running a candidate named Zachary Johnson in the Burnaby South byelection. Johnson told the crowd his group isn’t anti-immigrant and that they are simply “patriots” who are against such things as “illegal” immigration and the carbon tax. During Johnson’s speech, the crowd started chanting, “Say it loud, say it clear,
immigrants are welcome here.” On Monday, Elections Canada said Johnson had missed the deadline to register as a candidate. One woman on Saturday, Michelle Cole, took off her yellow vest and told the NOW that the crowd “wasn’t interested in a dialogue,” adding that she is against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax. “I just want my children to be able to afford a
home,” Cole said. On hand for the counterprotest was Burnaby’s Alan Dutton, who leads the Canadian Anti-Racism Education and Research Society. Dutton is an expert on extremist groups, and he said he is disturbed by people’s support of the yellow vest movement. “We’ve got these people who are falling prey to this far-right ideology thinking it’s mainstream, and it’s not,” Dutton said. “It’s
hateful, it’s mean and it’s hurting the country.” A yellow vest member asked Dutton if he wants his grandchildren to be able to afford a home, and Dutton responded that while there is a housing crisis, people need to be mindful of the dangerous impact of blaming one ethnic group for it. “Blaming immigrants is not the answer.” – with additional reporting by Jennifer Gauthier

Street rocked by targeted shooting Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Multiple shots rang out in a quiet Burnaby neighbourhood Saturday night during what police believe was a targeted shooting. Officers were called to the corner of Smith Avenue and Price Street shortly before 10 p.m. and found a 39-year-old man who’d been shot inside a black sedan.The victim, who is known to police, according to Burnaby RCMP, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. “The initial investigation indicates that this is a targeted shooting and the general public is not at risk,” stated an RCMP press release. Police are now searching for a beige-coloured sedan that was seen leaving the area at about the same time as the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604646-9999, quoting file number 2019-5007.To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.

ELECTION ANALYSIS
Docs detail big-money campaigns Chris Campbell
ccampbell@burnabynow.com
More than $850,000 was spent by Burnaby mayoral and council candidates in the 2018 civic election. Elections BC released disclosure statement data for candidates on Tuesday and a look at the documents reveals campaign spending reached some dizzying heights. The biggest spender was the Burnaby Citizens Association. According to the statements online, the BCA had total outflows for the campaign of $502,362. Elections BC divides up that money into two categories, “election period” and “campaign period.”The election period on the disclosure forms has dates leading up to Sept. 21, 2018, and the campaign period is Sept. 22-Oct. 20, 2018. For this story, both of those periods have been lumped together because there is campaigning going on that entire time.
The BCA had total inflows of $632,655.This included $79,220 in campaign contributions on or after Oct. 31, 2017, and $553,435 raised before that date. A look through the documents shows that a lot of those donations came from housing developers. For that money, the BCA re-elected seven councillors, but failed to re-elect Derek Corrigan as mayor or Baljinder Narang – a former BCA school trustee – as a councillor. The BCA wasn’t the only big spender in the campaign. New Mayor Mike Hurley spent $280,572.89. Hurley raised $291,700.47, so the campaign spent nearly every dime it raised. Hurley received a large number of donations from individuals in the $600 and $1,200 range. The total of what Hurley spent is split between what Elections Canada terms as election period campaign expenses ($129,405.23) and campaign period expenses ($128,697.58).

Burnaby mayoral candidates were limited spending to about $139,000 during the Sept. 22-Oct. 20 campaign period. According to Elections BC, there are no spending limits before this campaign period. Things dial down a lot when you look at what others spent on the campaign. The Burnaby First Coalition spent $33,792.82 and elected zero candidates. The Burnaby Green Par-
ty spent just $9,511.61, but managed to elect one candidate to council – Joe Keithley – out of the six candidates it fielded in the race. It’s nearly four years until the next civic election and you can expect the amount of campaign cash raised to drop thanks to new limits for candidates and thirdparty groups. Unless people find a way around those limits.
A four-day manhunt for a suspect wanted in connection with the shooting a Transit Police officer in ended in Burnaby Sunday. Daon Glasgow was taken into custody during what police described as a “high-risk” arrest at a fourplex in the 7500 block of Boundary Road at about 5:30 a.m. Other residents of the building were evacuated shortly before officers moved in. Police had been searching for Glasgow in connection with the shooting of Metro Vancouver Transit Police Const. Josh Harms last Wednesday at Scott Road SkyTrain station. Glasgow is being held for being unlawfully at large in relation to another matter. Harms sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries during the shooting, according to police.

Sechelt man joins race Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
Terry Grimwood wanted to be the second party leader running in the upcoming federal byelection in Burnaby South. He got halfway there. Grimwood will face NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh on Feb. 25 as an independent candidate – not as the head of a fledgling electoral party. The 66-year-old believes he can bring a fresh voice to politics. “I have a totally different approach to government than what we’re seeing today,” he said. Grimwood, who lives in Sechelt on the Sunshine
Coast, said his opponents are wrong to focus on Burnaby-specific issues such as housing. “This election is not about Burnaby.This election is about Canada,” he said. That’s why, Grimwood said, he plans to start a new national party: Canada Fresh. He failed to register the party with Elections Canada in time for the byelection, blaming the Canada Post strike for delaying his paperwork. He claims to have 50 candidates ready to run under the Canada Fresh banner in the fall general election. “I’ll have 338 candidates come October,” Grimwood
said, referring to the number of federal ridings. “Canada Fresh is going to be a major player in this coming federal election.” His platform includes increasing the federal government’s response to forest fires, including more water bombers and military members fighting the flames that engulf much of the country every summer. The retired builder served two two-year terms on council in North Vancouver in the 1970s, an experience he said taught him “housing is a municipal responsibility.” Grimwood said he will release a 20-point platform soon.

son Street were warned last May the city would be reconfiguring the street in front of their buildings to deal with extra traffic expected from Lougheed during the Fortis project. “We understood that some temporary action would have to be taken to help traffic flow in the community, and were willing to suffer some short term inconvenience for the good

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Trudeau paid the ‘sticker price’ for the pipeline The federal government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau paid too much for the pipeline. Like, way too much. That’s according to Parliament’s budget watchdog,Yves Giroux – the parliamentary budget officer – who last week presented an analysis of the overall value of the pipeline, which the government purchased from Texas oil company Kinder Morgan last August. Giroux estimates the Trans Mountain pipeline and a planned expansion
project are worth between $3.6 billion and $4.6 billion, which means taxpayers paid close to the high end of the project’s calculated value. “If it was a car, we would say they paid ‘sticker price,’ they didn’t negotiate very much, they didn’t get that many deals or manufacturer’s rebates — quite the opposite,” Giroux said. The pipeline’s capacity will come at a cost of $9.3 billion if the project is completed on schedule by Dec. 31, 2021, the PBO esti-
mates. But that’s only if building the pipeline comes without any delays in construction or cost increases. If it does – and what project doesn’t – “then it’s quite clear to us that the government would have overpaid,” said Giroux. Even supporters of the pipeline should be cringing that, at the very least, the feds made a terrible deal. This is important because the Liberals pitched Canadians on this deal on it being financially sound.
One main reason why there will likely be delays is due reconsideration of the project by the National Energy Board. The Federal Court of Appeal struck down Ottawa’s approval of the project in a ruling delivered on Aug. 30, saying Canada failed to meaningfully consult with First Nations along the pipeline route and that the NEB failed to examine how the project would affect marine life. The project is now in limbo. Given that the 2021 com-
pletion date was set before the court ruling was delivered, Giroux says he believes the expansion is likely to face delays and, in turn, financial losses. A one-year delay would reduce its value by $700 million. A 10-per-cent increase in construction costs would reduce the value by $450 million. “All indicators point that there will likely be a delayed construction. And construction costs — I think it’s also quite possible they will increase,” Giroux said.
If the NEB recommends continuing with the project, expect more court challenges. If the pipeline expansion does not go ahead, the value of the project would drop significantly and cause the government to lose upwards of $2.5 billion, Giroux added, calling this the worst-case scenario. Last year in this space when the deal was announced, we called it a boondoggle in the making. We don’t see any reason to walk back that claim.
NOW & THEN CHRIS CAMPBELL
Stop dumping on our trails Jon Firor just wants to go for a walk in peace. But he can’t. When he hits the trails near his home on Marine Way in south Burnaby, including the one along the Fraser River, all he sees is garbage. So, instead of walking, enjoying nature and pondering the mysteries of life, Firor just feels frustrated. He is forced to spend his time picking up garbage. Firor told me his story after reading one in a series of blogs I’ve written about dumping in Burnaby. “I read your article on the dumping on Burnaby Mountain,” Firor says. “I live in another dumping zone and it never ceases to amaze me the brazen attitude taken by these dumpers … Hardly a week goes by without someone dumping their unwanted items. The enforcement is a joke.” Some of the garbage being dumped, Firor says, is too big for him to clean up. This garbage is mostly construction materials. Certain contractors are too cheap to take their waste to a waste transfer station, too lazy to make an effort, or too evil to give a damn about their community. Firor knew about one jerk dumping used construction materials. “Well, one day, while walking my dogs, I came across a van dumping materials,” Firor said. “He left expired vehicle insurance with his name and address and sped off. I reported to the City of Burnaby, who had little interest in doing
anything and referred me to the RCMP.The RCMP, after a long wait, were not interested either and muttered something about me not being able to ID the person. So much for the threat of enforcement.” Things have actually gotten even worse lately, Firor told me, because a Tim Hortons opened nearby. “Well, now the workers walk to Tim Hortons along the beautiful paths on their breaks and at lunch,” he says. “On their way back to their offices, many simply toss their garbage onto the trails, even though they have garbage bins at their office and there is even one at the trail head. If everyone did this, can you imagine how our trails and parks would look? I will go as far as to heap blame on those that walk right past the garbage on the trail – it is really beautiful. No one even thinks to pick up the trash and keep our environment clean. I know I do it every day and have even piled stuff in the middle of the trail up to see how long it will stay. People ignore it and just walk around it.We are all just guests on this planet and it is our duty to preserve that which gives us our precious life.” It’s really simple. Don’t toss your garbage on the ground. If you see garbage, pick it up and dispose of it properly. “Come on people, pitch in and help keep Burnaby and the world a place of beauty.” Follow Chris Campbell on Twitter @shinebox44.

Alderman called ‘absurd’ City council was criticized for endorsing a “peace walk” but then voting against participating in it or providing funds to advertise it.The walk was being organized to bring awareness to the threat of nuclear proliferation. Ald. Egon Nikolai opposed council’s participation, asking, “Do you believe some of the radical elements of our world, such as communists and Maoists and so forth, desire peace in the way we desire peace in Burnaby?” Advocates called his comments “absurd” and said nuclear war wouldn’t distinguish between communists and capitalists.

Voices of renters needed on the housing task force
Editor: Re: Activists want ‘enemy’ developers removed from task force, NOW, Jan. 31 Like many, I am wondering why the city’s housing task force has so many developers and the Urban Development Institute, which is a lobby group, but does not have any renters from Burnaby on it. I have lived in Metrotown for over 20 years and have been waiting to be demovicted for three years now. I live on provincial disability, and being homeless will be a death sentence for me. I am not alone. There have been many stories from people whose lives and health have been destroyed by demovictions, and the mayor – who was voted in because of this issue – has chosen to disregard us now? And making a Burnaby Citizens Association councillor – the same BCA who listened to years of people begging them to rethink their plan and continued to vote for every redevelopment permit that came their way – chair of the task force is especially egregious. I had hope when I heard Mayor Mike Hurley speak about how, as a firefighter, he saw people frozen to the ground. I saw that as someone who understood the ramifications of demovictions and homelessness. What I am seeing with regards to the housing task force paints a different story. There are people’s lives at stake, and already the mayor is leaning toward developers whose interest lies in keeping the status quo.
Your Mom &Dad worked hard all their lives. Now help them enjoy it.
This is appalling, and there must be renters who have been affected by demovictions allowed on this task force, or it’s just window dressing and a betrayal. Cate Moore, Burnaby
Bill for pipeline policing costs should be sent to our former mayor Editor: Re: Burnaby mayor wants feds to pay $1.2 million protest policing costs, NOW, Jan. 31 Surprise, surprise that the City of Burnaby taxpayers will probably get stuck with the $1.2-million bill for policing the former Kinder Morgan pipeline demonstrations. As a property taxpayer here in Burnaby, I suggest the new mayor send the invoice to former mayor Derek Corrigan for him to pay. He and his council picked this fight with Kinder Morgan for years without any “proper mandate” from the taxpayers of Burnaby. If they had instead worked out their differences and the pipeline was already completed, the city would be earning revenues from the pipeline, not fighting over the cost of opposing it. Hopefully Mayor Mike Hurley and his fellow council members will now think twice before continuing to encourage this fight, or we might just end up with another invoice for the same amount again. Just because a few scream, shout and march about an issue does not mean they represent a sensible majority. Tim Savage, Burnaby

Cops could face charges in Burnaby man’s death Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Vancouver police officers could face charges in the death of man in Burnaby in the summer of 2015. Myles Gray, 33, died during an altercation with Vancouver police on Southeast Marine Drive by Joffre Avenue on Aug. 13, 2015.
The Vancouver Police Department said at the time that officers had been dispatched to Southeast Marine Drive, near the border between Burnaby and Vancouver, for reports of a man causing a disturbance in the area. When the first officer arrived and attempted to detain Gray, the VPD said he
became agitated and more officers were sent to the scene. They tried to subdue Gray, police said, but their attempts failed and an altercation broke out, according to a media release from Vancouver police at the time. Police said Gray and six police officers were injured. Paramedics attempted to

save Gray, but he died at the scene. The six officers, meanwhile, were treated in hospital and released the same day. After an investigation that took nearly three-and-a-half years to complete, the Independent Investigations Office announced Wednesday it was forwarding a report to
the B.C. Prosecution Service for “consideration of charges.” The IIO said there were a number of reasons the investigation took so long, “including a difference of opinion with a witness officer regarding the extent of their duty to cooperate under the Police Act in the context of a second inter-
view,” according to an IIO press release. “Also, in an effort to obtain further information regarding the cause of death, additional forensic pathology resources were sought and provided by the Coroner’s Office in 2018 in order to ensure a comprehensive investigation,” stated the release.

‘Vehicles were driving the wrong way’ Continued from page 7 “Vehicles were driving the wrong way into oncoming traffic, old reflectors left from the previous line configuration were left on the road and traffic signs that were no longer pertinent to the new traffic flow were left up for weeks after the reconfiguration.” The city restriped Dawson Street to create two eastbound lanes and one westbound lane since the afternoon rush is the most critical, according to assistant director of engineering Doug Louie. But for Tandem residents on the south side of Dawson, making a left turn onto the street across two lanes of eastbound traffic became treacherous, according to Kendell, especially with parked cars on Dawson obstructing their view. “Trying to make a left turn out of there is almost suicidal,” he said of the driveway closest to Gilmore. During the Fortis work, the city also reconfigured the intersection at Dawson and Gilmore Avenue, com-

bining the through lane and right-turn lane, which has resulted in westbound lineups when cars try to turn right but can’t because of pedestrians crossing Gilmore by the SkyTrain station. “This is leading to extreme backups during the rush hour periods and people illegally using the dedicated left turn lane to proceed straight through the intersection,” Kendell said. Since receiving Kendell’s letter, the city has removed one of the parking spots on the south side of Dawson, to improve the sight lines for cars coming out of one of the Tandem driveways.
Left turns out of the other Tandem driveway closer to Gilmore are now restricted during rush hour. Louie said the city would also consider changing the intersection at Dawson and Gilmore back to the way it was, but any quick adjustments may be hampered by the weather. “We cannot paint lines very well right now,” he said. “The weather is poor and it will not stick.” Because major construction is expected in the area on the north side of Dawson Street over the next couple of years, however, Louie also said the city
is trying to limit further changes to the configuration of the street. “What we’re trying not to do, as we could have done, is revert everything back to the way it was before but then with construction a few months later we would then have to change it again, so we’re always striping and re-striping,” Louie said at a public safety committee meeting earlier this month. “We’re trying to minimize that to minimize the cost and the confusion, frankly, to some of the drivers along the road.” While Kendell is happy the city is taking steps to address the issues he has raised, he’s concerned about the future. “My big thing from Day 1 is honestly the lack of consultation with the community,” he said. “I understand that Burnaby is growing exponentially, especially in this area in the next couple of years, but, at the same time, we live in this area, and you can see it’s becoming unsafer by the day, honestly.”

Grade 8 student Elisabeth Comley was equally enthusiastic. “I know this is really kind of cheesy, but I just like everything about it,” she said. “I really love the message that Keliya (or Theresa) is spreading.” The project culminated for the choir two weeks ago, when a camera crew, led by filmmaker Zoé Arthur, set up in one of the school’s music rooms and shot what will be the last scene in the video:Warbus rapping, backed by the choir singing the chorus. Throughout the video,Warbus looks to challenge society’s stereotypes of women, especially Indigenous women, as she takes on different identities. “Her liberating lyrics invite disenfranchised communities to unite as one and show the world that
we will not be defined by stereotypes,” states a treatment for the project. It’s a message that resonated with Gestrin, who smiled seemingly irrepressibly throughout the video shoot with her students. “I love what she stands for,” she
said of Warbus, “and I’m totally in line with the idea that we want to find our true self, in whatever way that appears, so, being confident with who you are, showing who are, regardless of titles and stigmas and people placing you in a certain box, just becoming yourself.”

Stan’s Pizza Joint ng S er v i h Nort aby Burn
Meet your Heights merchants
Q: HOW DID STAN’S PIZZA Q JOINT COME INTO BEING? J I, Stan, had operated a Pizza Factory franchise since 1999. I met Judith in 2007, when she tagged along with one of my drivers on a second date. We had a lot of laughs and Judith got to experience the exhilaration of a busy thriving kkitchen on a Friday night. I sshared my ambition to create a pizza sports bar restaurant. We began the painstaking process of co-ordinating between contractors and permit approvals from the city, and we watched as we expanded to next door and built from the ground up.
Q: WHY THE HEIGHTS? I looked at the strip of Hastings Street, in the Heights, as having a similar feel to Kits and Commercial, vibrant and energetic. The people living in the Heights make this a great place. We are proud to be a part of this community and support it as much as we can. And we are extremely grateful for the support they have shown us.
Q: WHAT WAS IT LIKE IN THE BEGINNING? While we were under construction, we displayed a “restaurant makeover” sign in our window. This caused quite a stir with people poking their

heads in the door expecting to see Igor from the TV show. And there was still a buzz when we opened. It was fun right away keeping up with the level of activity. We were, and still are, really unique in the area, offering a relaxed atmosphere for families or individuals wanting to catch their favourite sport on TV and enjoy excellent food and a beverage. Q: HOW HAVE THINGS CHANGED? Looking back at our
humble beginnings, we have grown and built the business immensely. We have been fortunate to have had so many enthusiastic staff working for us, most of them remaining part of our family after moving on. Q: WHAT’S THE BEST PART ABOUT OWNING STAN’S PIZZA JOINT? Since our early days, we have become a big part of the business community as well catering to their lunch and
meeting needs. We also enjoy the privilege of supplying most of the elementary schools with pizza for their hot lunch programs. Judith and I are lucky to enjoy operating a successful business in the Heights. While there have been bumps and challenges along the way, it gives us a warm feeling to be the “go to” place for our many wonderful customers. We always enjoy hearing people say: “We love your pizza.” Continued on page 17

Celebrate love in the neighbourhood Isabel Kolic
special to the NOW
What do romantic love and families have to do with each other? Well, for starters, you couldn’t have one without the other. And secondly, both Valentine’s Day and Family Day are celebrated in February. Of course, Valentine’s Day isn’t all about lovers and romance: it’s a day to celebrate friendship, appreciation for all those who make our days special, including our wonderful co-workers, and those who loved us first: our parents. The Heights has a zillion ways to show all those special people that you care: from one-of-a-kind gifts from Muckabout Gift Gallery and L’Atelier Sandie Bell, to spe-
cial homeware surprises from Posh Pantry (or treat your friend or spouse to a cooking class!). And speaking of reaching someone’s heart through their stomach, let’s not forget all the authentic and excellent eateries on the Heights, or buying ingredients from one of our specialty grocers, local butchers, bakeries, as well as Safeway to create a great home-made meal. Or you could buy a big box of treats from Bon Bon Bakery, Fortuna Bakery, Valley Bakery or Chez Christophe to bring into the office? You’d have people falling in love with you, left right and centre! For Family Day – who needs to leave the neighbourhood? We have three excellent parks in our ‘hood: McGill, Burna-
by Heights and Confederation Parks. Eilleen Dailly Pool has family swim sessions, Burnaby Heights and Confederation Parks have various amenities for basketball games, tennis, playgrounds, and McGill Public Library – although not open on Family Day – usually has weekend activities for kids of all ages. Call them directly for programming. Or, simply, go for a walk along the Trans Canada Trail and enjoy the scenery. Most of all, just take some time to spend with those you love. Life is short. People are precious. These are the moments that matter. Isabel Kolic is executive director of the Heights Merchants Association BIA.
‘It has been an incredible journey’
Continued from page 16 Q: TELL ME ABOUT A FAVOURITE MEMORY? A great memory is from 2010 during the Gold Medal Hockey game between Canada and the U.S, We had way more people than our 50 seats accommodated as they were packed standing everywhere. The roar as Crosby scored the overtime winner still echoes in my head! We have his jersey hanging at the Joint in acknowledgement of him. We’ve had wedding parties and engagements at the Joint. We’ve had countless sport teams parties. In 2014 we were voted best pizza in
Burnaby by the readers of the Burnaby NOW. We were elated to receive this honour.
Q: HOW DOES IT FEEL CELEBRATING 20 YEARS IN BUSINESS? From the early days twenty years ago, to opening Stan’s, 10 years ago, it has been an incredible journey! We are very proud to be here today.

Communitynow Learn how to help with mental health Do you know what to do when someone is having a mental health crisis? “If someone sprains an ankle, chances are you know what to do. If someone has a panic attack, chances are you don’t,” reads a press release for a Mental Health First Aid workshop. It’s a common gap in knowledge for many of us, but the upcoming two-day
course promises to teach some key skills. BCIT will host the workshop, which will enable “participants to build the skills and confidence necessary to engage in effective conversations about mental health, learn to recognize the most common mental health problems, and increase their comfort level with helping others,” ac-
cording to the release. The workshop is being put on by the Mainland BC Military Family Resource Centre, but you don’t have to be a member of the armed forces to participate. “While the workshop has some content specific to issues associated with transitioning out of the Canadian Armed Forces, it can be beneficial for anyone, espe-
cially veteran family members or those who work with veterans,” the release says. The workshop runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 19 and 20 in Room 106 of Building NE22 at BCIT’s Willingdon Avenue campus. For more information, contact veterans@bcmfrc. com. – Kelvin Gawley

City now Burnaby teen set to co-host Variety telethon Chris Campbell
ccampbell@burnabynow.com
Bryan Hu arrived in this world earlier than expected – much earlier. Born prematurely, Hu was tiny – just two pounds, according to his doting mom, Jane. The doctors diagnosed Hu with mild cerebral palsy (spastic-ataxia) with gait ataxia being the main functional deficit, plus progressive vision loss and a bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. When informing Jane about her son’s medical conditions, the doctors said two incorrect things. 1) That Bryan would be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. 2) That Bryan would never be able to speak. Oh, how wrong they were. For one thing, Bryan does a lot of talking. So much so that the Burnaby teen is set to cohost the 53rd annual Variety Show of Hearts Telethon on Feb. 10 – airing live on Global BC.
A lot of 16-year-old boys would be nervous about being on live television, but Bryan is unconcerned. “I’m doing a lot of rehearsing for it,” Bryan said in an interview. “But I’ve done this before.” Bryan has a long history with Variety.The charity provided Bryan with a Roger Pen, a hearing aid accessory that helps people with hearing loss to hear better in noisy environments and over distance.The Roger Pen is used in combination with Bryan’s hearing aids to give him optimal access to auditory information. His teachers at Byrne Creek Secondary wear microphones that ensure he hears what they are saying, even in noisy classrooms. The Roger Pen is helpful when he does volunteer work at the local Kumon learning centre, although he doesn’t really need it when he’s beating his dad during their nightly chess games. Variety had previously helped Bryan with orthotics in 2011 and 2012. The telethon is Variety – the Children’s Charity’s big-
gest fundraising event of the year, and airs from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Filmed in the Molson Canadian Theatre at Hard Rock Casino Vancouver, the Telethon will also broadcast both online via livestream at Globalnews.ca. For Bryan, he just wants to give back so other kids and families get the support they need. “I want to do my part to raise a lot of money,” he says. The telethon does just that. In 2018, the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon raised $5,499,269. The show will recognize partners and supporters, many of whom will be sitting on the Gold Panel and sponsoring the “3-Minute Countdown.” “The hourly countdowns have become an extremely popular segment providing viewers with an opportunity to call in and have their donation matched during that time,” said a news release. Online media blogger, Rebecca Bollwitt, who many know as Miss 604, will be back with her inter-

active Social Lounge where she and her team will be providing live #ShowOfHearts updates. Also returning will be legendary wildlife artist Robert Bateman, whose stunning Mossy Branches Spotted Owl poster will be sent to those who
donate $169 or more. Donations to the Show of Hearts can be made by calling toll-free at 310-KIDS and online at variety.bc.ca or by texting “KIDS” to 45678 to make an automatic $20 contribution.Viewers can also register now to

City now District dance celebrates LGBTQ youth, allies Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Superheroes of all rainbow stripes are getting ready to get down at a Burnaby school district dance for LGBTQ youth and allies next month. The Diversity Dance, put on by the district’s sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) committee, is set to hit the Byrne Creek Secondary School atrium on March 6. Now in its third year, the event has become such a hit, a couple New Westminster Secondary School students tried to sneak in last year. This year they won’t have to. “There was so much excitement last year about the dance, and our students were really working with me and the district to try and get New West invited last year, but the timing of it didn’t materialize in time for the dance,” said Dan Adrian, the district’s SOGI support teacher for secondary schools. “We worked with the district this year to make sure that we started that organization at the beginning of the school year, so we were able to confirm in the fall that we were going to be able to have New West joining us.” The district launched the dance in 2016/17 after hearing the Surrey school district was planning a Pride Prom, according to Adrian. “We saw it as an opportunity, rather than just something for Grade 12s, something that would bring grades 8 through 12 together,” he said. Adrian said he had ex-

pected mostly Grade 12s, especially those already active in the schools’ gender/ sexuality alliance clubs, to attend and was surprised at the diverse group of students from all grades that showed up. He says the event that’s evolved is unlike other school dances, which often feature “a lot of couples grinding up on each other and making out.” “We don’t get that here,” he said. “Sure, we get couples, but it’s not a dance that’s focused on coupling. It’s a dance that’s focused on that group dynamic. It’s actually fun.” Since its first year, attendance at the dance has tripled from about 100 to
about 300, he said, and local sponsors have helped to “bring it to another level.” Vibe Productions will provide this year’s entertainment. Starbucks will serve drinks, Sephora will do makeup, and everyone will go home with a bath bomb provided by Lush. Well-known Vancouver drag performer Raye Sunshine will also be on hand with a couple numbers, both empowering and fun, according to Adrian. Adrian, who is gay, said he’s not sure he would have gone if a similar dance had been put on when he was a kid going to school in Langley in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but times have changed. “There’s so much more available,” he said, “but even so, there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done, and I think that’s part of what this dance does. It provides students with an opportunity that’s really hard to get.” This year’s super-herothemed dance runs from 6 to 9 p.m. at Byrne Creek Secondary (7777 18th St., Burnaby). All Burnaby and New Westminster students in grades 8 to 12 are welcome.Tickets, $10, are on sale at all high school officers until March 5.

Entertainment now Wanted: A few good men Calling all men who love to sing. The Gentlemen of Fortune have taken up residence in Burnaby, and they’re calling on new male singers to come out and experience the fun of barbershop harmony. The chorus is an a cappella group of 20 singers who perform primarily in barbershop style, along with more current music arranged in four-part harmony. The group has a long history in the region: it began in 1957 as the Royal City Chapter of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, taking on its cur-

Anyone who’s interested can learn more about the chorus by checking out www.gof.bc.ca. Prospective singers are also welcome to attend a rehearsal to find out more about the group.
Serenade your valentine Sure, a heart-shaped box of chocolates will never go out of style – but why not go one better for Valentine’s Day and order up some music? You can serenade your valentine in four-part har-
mony, thanks to the Gentlemen of Fortune Chorus. You can send a quartet to your loved one on Thursday, Feb. 14 and ensure they’ll get a four-part serenade, plus a red rose. Quartets will travel any-
where in the Lower Mainland. A singing valentine costs $50, and the chorus plans to make a donation to Burnaby Neighbourhood House from the proceeds. See www.gof.bc.ca/valen tines or call 604-526-2212.
In the spotlight: Acclaimed jazz singer Mary Stallings, who has shared the stage with such luminaries as Tony Bennett and Ella Fitzgerald, is coming to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts for a concert on Thursday, Feb. 14. PHOTO MARS BRESLOW, CONTRIBUTED
An acclaimed jazz singer is onstage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts next week. Mary Stallings is onstage Thursday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. Stallings boasts a career spanning seven decades, during which she has shared the stage with such luminaries as Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Williams. “Mary Stallings is a classic example of how it takes time, musical seasoning and living a full life to mature as a vocalist and to address a lyric properly,” says a writeup about the show. “While youthful instrumentalists may have something to say, Stallings brings a lifetime of emotional intelligence that enables her to truly inhabit a lyric.” Tickets are $40.

Communitynow Meet your neighbour: Francesca Cignerova MeetYour Burnaby Neighbour is a monthly series profiling volunteers with Burnaby Neighbourhood House. MEET FRANCESCA CIGNEROVA: “I was never the type of person who makes grand gestures or saves lives. I just love to cook and chat with people, but this story changed my life. “I will never forget that misty morning in September 2017, when my friend called and said that her husband had been in a motorcycle accident. “She was told not to come alone to the hospital, so I went with her.We were waiting for ages, and finally they sent us home after explaining that her husband’s condition was serious. He was involved in a head-on collision with a bus. I brought her to my home, gave her some sleep medication, and the next day we went back. “One week later, her husband died. I was in shock, but she seemed to accept it quietly. Her behaviour seemed so normal that I let her go home and just called her every day. “One week later, she collapsed and had a total breakdown. She wasn’t able to do even the most basic daily tasks, like getting out of bed in the morning,

shopping or visiting with her children and grandchildren. She lost interest in her life. “I felt helpless and didn’t know what to do. So I did the one thing I love to do – I started to cook for her. Each day I brought her a different dish to try with a homemade loaf of our traditional Czech bread. “I even started to read a new joke to her each day. After four months, she actually managed to laugh at one of my jokes. After five months, she agreed to visit her children and grandchildren. After a year, she became more like her old self. “I stopped visiting her daily, and we just called each other. And today, we are still calling each other and our friendship is going strong. I still cook for her,
but not as often. “We take trips, go out for sushi, and I have even started to go to the movies with her.We have fun. I truly believe that it is me who has profited from this situation and received something precious.To help someone can be sometimes as valuable to the giver as it is to the receiver.That is why you have neighbours and friends, right? People shouldn’t stay home alone with their troubles and tragedies.” Francesca has volunteered for the North Burnaby Neighbourhood House since 2015. Her passion for cooking is apparent – she is the head cook who coordinates all the North House’s Sharing Culture Dinners. Over the past three years, she accumulated 350 volunteer hours and at the same time became an important part of the North Burnaby community. In 2018 she was awarded the Volunteer of theYear award at the Association of Neighbourhood Houses’ Good Neighbours Awards. The Burnaby Neighbourhood House is a charitable, non-profit organization with a unique focus on neighbours supporting neighbours. Find out more at www.burnabynh. ca.

City now Expect road closures as gas lines upgraded The reprieve from Burnaby traffic disruptions connected to the FortisBC project is over as work ramps up again in east Burnaby. FortisBC is upgrading its natural gas line – it was built way back in 1958 – this month and spreading to different locations through April. FortisBC has been upgrading 20 kilometres of gas line between Vancouver to Coquitlam. Work started last year in Vancouver and Burnaby, and this year the project will move east with construction on Lougheed Highway and Broadway in Burnaby and on Como Lake Avenue in Coquitlam. “We understand it can be disruptive to have a major construction project in your neighbourhood, which is why our goal is to complete work safely and as quickly as possible,” said Doug Stout, vice-president, market development and external relations, FortisBC, in a statement. “We want to thank everyone for their pa-
tience and understanding, both so far and as we complete construction this year.” A public information session will be held on Feb. 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Cameron Recreation Centre. Each phase of the project will require road disruptions, and the company mapped out the areas and timelines for Burnaby: ! Lougheed Highway at Springer Avenue will see lane closures starting in March. ! Lougheed at Madison Avenue will see lane closures starting in February. ! Lougheed between Sperling and Bainbridge avenues will see lane closures starting in February. ! Bainbridge between Lougheed and Broadway will be local traffic and emergency services only starting in March. ! Broadway between Bainbridge and Underhill will be local traffic and emergency services only starting in March.
! Broadway/Gaglardi Way, with the cross streets of Production Way to North Road, will see lane closures starting in April. In Coquitlam, various sections of Como Lake Avenue will see lane closures running from March through July. The gas line upgrade project is scheduled to be completed in 2019.

16.The show, created and directed by Joan Bryans, is set in 1916 Dublin on the eve of the Easter Rising, a rebellion that would set Ireland on the path to independence. A press release notes that the action centres around Constance Markievicz, a rich, Anglo-Irish aristocrat, married to a Polish count, who gives up everything to fight on behalf of her country and its people. Changed Utterly is a “theatre verbatim” play, using the actual words of the real-life, historical figures together with the songs and poetry of the day. It stars NaomiWong as Constance, with a cast that includes Tyus Bro, Carolyn Costigan, Breanne Doyle, Amy Laity, Gordon Law, Matt Loop, Kurtis Maguire, Celeste Musseau and Jeremy O’Driscoll. The show runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m., plus an extra Saturday matinee on March 16.Tickets are $28, or $24 for seniors and students, with preview tickets (Thursday, Feb. 21) for $14.

Biosimilar Medicines:
A Game Changer for Patient Care Over the past 50 years biologic medicines have revolutionized the treatment and prevention of many disabling and life-threatening diseases, including diabetes, arthritis, inflammatory digestive disorders and cancers. But biologic medicines are also expensive. BC PharmaCare and employer-sponsored benefit plans want to expand their coverage of patients to include more innovative new medicines, but they also need to manage costs.
BIOSIMILARS AVAILABLE IN BC:
BIOSIMILARS ARE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS A biosimilar biologic drug, or biosimilar, is a drug demonstrated to be highly similar to a biologic drug that was already authorized for sale.2 Health Canada evaluates all the information provided to confirm that the biosimilar and the reference biologic drug are similar and that there are no clinically meaningful differences in safety and efficacy between them. 3 Health Canada ’s rigorous s tandards for authorization mean that patients and health care providers can have the same confidence in the quality, safety and efficacy of a biosimilar as any other biologic drug.4
Benefitting from Biosimilars
Biosimilar Medicines Support Health Care Sustainability and Patient Care Fortunately, an important solution to this challenge has arrived in Canada. Patents on many biologic medicines have expired, and other manufacturers are now able to produce these medicines. These are called biosimilars. Several biosimilars have been reviewed and authorized for sale by Health Canada, and many more submissions for new biosimilars are under review. Biosimilars have been a standard fixture in patient care in Europe for more than a decade, and more than 700 million patient treatment days have been recorded.1 Canadians and British Columbians now have the opportunity to embrace the full benefits of biosimilar medicines.
Patients with chronic diseases typically use a biologic medicine for many years. As such, biosimilars cannot fully contribute to health care sustainability unless patients on existing original biologic medicines transition to biosimilar medicines. Such transitioning is a common practice in Europe as proactive biosimilar policies have been implemented by governments. This has generated a wide body of real-world evidence that provides confidence in the established European practice of transitioning patients from an original biologic drug to a biosimilar.5 Health Canada recommends that such a decision should be made by the treating physician in consultation with the patient and taking into account available clinical evidence and any policies of the relevant jurisdiction.6 In turn, policies adopted by governments and employee-sponsored benefit plans are to be responsibly informed by clinical evidence.

The Bottom Line Patients and clinicians can have confidence in biosimilar medicines. Biosimilars are reviewed and authorized for sale by Health Canada, they are as safe and effective as the corresponding original biologic drug, and can provide tremendous value to British Columbia’s health care system. Transitioning patients from original biologic drugs to new biosimilar medicines is a responsible choice for those who manage drug budgets, and will help to ensure patient access to essential treatments for years to come.

Week Congratulations to of the
Want your kids to reply to texts? There’s an app for that Mommy’s
GROUNDED Bianca Bujan
When I was in Grade 10 – long before cellphones were a common teen accessory and home phones were our only means of telecommunication – I remember calling my mom to check in after school and telling her I was at a girlfriend’s house. But really, I was at a boy’s house. She called that same number back and told me to come right home. She had *69’d my call and discovered the number didn’t match that of my friend. Technology has come a long way since my teen years. As parents, we do our best to keep on top of tracking the whereabouts of our kids, but they always seem to be one step ahead of us. The other day, I decided to send a check-in text message to my 11-yearold daughter while she was shopping at the mall with
friends.When she didn’t immediately respond, I panicked. Had she received my text?Was she safe?Was she just ignoring me? When we met up at our meeting spot an hour later, she said she hadn’t seen my text because she had set her phone to silent. I shrugged it off but thought there must be an easier way to check in. Then I came across an article recently shared by Parents.com about a new app called ReplyASAP, designed by a distressed dad in the U.K. who wanted to find a solution to texts being ignored by his son. “When I try and contact him, he rarely answers, either because he doesn’t hear the phone or because (and I’ve finally had to admit this to myself) he may be embarrassed to speak to his dad in front of his friends,” inventor Nick Herbert shared of the story behind the app – which has already been downloaded over 100,000 times. (It’s not yet available for iOs devices, but that’s
coming soon.) The app, aimed at eliciting an immediate response from kids who receive text messages from their parents (and vice versa), features an audible alert – even when the phone has been set to silent. Once the message has been seen, the sender receives a notification that the message has been read and can also see the location of the recipient. Best of all, the app disables all other phone functionalities until the sender has received a reply. When I read about this app, my immediate reaction was: sign me up! Other readers who commented on the article were opposed. “I don’t ever want to need to force my kids to reply to me. Doesn’t sound healthy to me,” commented one reader. “What a sad world. Authoritarianism is not the answer,” quipped another. As a parent who is easing into a more independent stage with my tween, I think this app offers a great way
to ensure my messages are read, to receive a prompt reply and to know the whereabouts of my child. I think it would help to establish trust as we navigate new waters. I may have resented my mom for figuring out how to *69 my calls when I was a teen, but I quickly learned it was better to just be honest about my whereabouts and to check in regularly so my parents didn’t worry. I hope my children will learn to do the same, and if it starts with an app, that works for me. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer and editor. Find her online at @bitsofbee.

Burnaby gains picks in Salt deal Lakers look to flip picks for talent as they construct 2019 roster Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
Building a team is often compared to putting together a jigsaw puzzle. The Burnaby Lakers made a deal on the weekend that would fit that bill. The Western Lacrosse Association club moved former all-star defender Justin Salt to New Westminster for a handful of draft picks. The swap, which occurred as both teams prepare for this week’s Western Lacrosse Association’s junior draft, sees Burnaby gain picks in the first and second rounds, as well as New West’s first pick in 2021. Burnaby general manager Kevin Hill said while the team now has a hole on defence, they acquired multiple assets that provide options heading into today’s (Thursday) WLA draft. “It was just something that came about,” said Hill of the rather quick discussions. “Their offer gives us the assets we can work with, either by using the picks or moving the picks for players. I certainly don’t think we’re done.” In Salt, the Lakers had a versatile, feisty defender who is known to be a thorn with his transition work. But he was also, due to National Lacrosse League commitments, not able to commit to a full season. Last year, due to NLL commitments and a lingering injury, Salt only dressed for five Laker games, contributing two goals and two assists. In Burnaby’s run to a WLA regular season title in 2017, he tallied 10 goals and seven helpers over 13 games and was named to the first all-star team. As a second-year player with the Lakers in 2013, Salt picked up the Fred Wooster Award as the league’s unsung hero. He was a second round pick by the Lakers in 2012. “What we’re getting is a guy who we view as being in his prime lacrosse years, who has a track record on transition and defence that is among the best in the league, and who is a strong character for the dressing room to boot,” remarked New West general manager Dan Richardson. Hill said that with the second and seventh overall selections, as well as the ninth and 14th picks, he can flip a combination of draft choices for an experienced player who can step right into the lineup. “There are teams looking to rebuild out there, and they have good players who they are willing to move.We’re in a position where we have good picks, There are deals to be made, and we’re certainly listening,” he noted. “Teams are calling about (No. 2 overall).”

Rebels, Hyacks to clash in final Dan Olson

It’s come down to two. The Burnaby-New West senior boys basketball league playoff final pits reigning provincial 4-A champion Burnaby South against upstart New Westminster, which knocked off defending league champ Byrne Creek on Tuesday. The South Rebels bested Burnaby North 93-54 with a well-rounded effort that saw the team draw on everyone to contribute. “We’re very happy with the effort, how the guys came out strong right from the start,” remarked Burnaby South coach Mike Bell. “Our big guys had big games and we ran everyone in the game.” Sasha Vujisic finished with 23 points – 19 in the first half – and seven rebounds.Vujisic racked up eight dunks in the first half, raising a lot of noise from the home crowd. Jiordano Khan also had a strong game. Jay Esquivel counted 15 points for the Vikings. In the other semifinal, both teams held the lead in the fourth quarter before New West emerged with an 89-84 decision. Although the Hyacks, who sat as the No. 3 seed entering the playoffs, were up by as much as 10 in the third quarter, the Bulldogs were true to their moniker, biting back to take a 76-75 lead in the fourth quarter. New West regained the momentum and steered the game slowly to their advantage, thanks to a string of free throws by captain Mo Al-Ghreibawi. “Everybody did their part,” remarked Hyacks coach Ted Cusick. “We didn’t rely upon one guy to do all the scoring or defending.” Luke Burton and Al-Ghreibawi led New West shooters with 23 points each, while Ethan Rivas counted 16 points and 20 re-

bounds. Kirk Bothwell chipped in with 10 points and 10 boards. Byrne Creek’s Sufi Ahmed led all shooters with 28 points. “New West played great,” noted Byrne Creek coach Bal Dhillon. “We shot the ball well, but they rebounded very well. ...We have some things to work on.” The league final is slated for
Monday, 7 p.m. with New West playing at Burnaby South. In senior girls action, Burnaby South met Burnaby Central on Wednesday in the league final (played after the NOW’s deadline). Behind Awek Deng’s 17-point, nine-rebound performance, the Rebels edged Burnaby Mountain 60-53 in Tuesday’s
semifinal, while the Wildcats hung on to beat Burnaby North 51-44. The ’Cats flipped a 15-8 deficit after one quarter to pick up the win.Tops for Central was Jalynne Huyhn with 23 points. Counting eight points each in the win were Jade Huynh, Bethany Lim and Sasha Salmon.
SFU signs Burnaby players to soccer deals
Amanda Scott and Giuliana Zaurrini among newest recruits for women’s soccer team
The Simon Fraser University women’s soccer team unveiled its newest crop of commitments for the 2019/2020 season, led by a pair of Burnaby products. Leading the list of new soccer talent that will play and study on Burnaby Mountain come September are Cariboo Hill Secondary student Amanda Scott and Alpha Secondary’s Giuliana Zaurrini. The pair, along with Doreen Anane-Bediakoh, Savannah Bauder, Kiara Buono, Kelsey Fisher, Jenieva Musico, Jazzi Paulson and Valerie Silva, put pen to paper recently to letters of intent to play for Canada’s lone NCAA team. Scott, a midfielder/defender who played
with the TSS FC program, is a multi-sport athlete who was a member of the TSS Rovers women’s premier league team that debuted last year.The five-foot-seven midfielder brings with her a strong training background, as well as an honour-roll attitude. “Amanda is a great addition for us,” remarked SFU coach Annie Hamel. “She has a lot of speed, and her passing ability is extraordinary. She is very comfortable on the ball and can escape pressure in almost any situation.” Part of the TSS roster that won three straight Sounders FC Cups since 2016, Scott is planning to study medicine. “I chose SFU because of its extensive se-
lection of programs to choose from and its high academic standard. It also offers the best of both worlds – being able to stay close to home while also having the opportunity to play in the NCAA.” Zaurrini comes to SFU via Mountain United FC, the premier club that also trained fellow recruits Bauder and Buono. A forward/midfielder, the five-foot-five Zaurrini is expected to solidify the team with her well-balanced approach. “Giuliana possesses a great balance between athleticism and skill. She is a hardworking player who is always effective on the pitch and will be an attacking threat in a variety of positions,” said Hamel.

The Burnaby Central Wildcats are back. Although they never disappeared, wrestling head coach Gianni Buono said this year’s boost in numbers after a slight down year in 2018 is reflected in recent results. “The team is looking pretty good – we’ve got some good young kids coming up, and they’ve done well in meets already.” Last week was the Port Alberni Invitational, where a whole host of Wildcats medalled. It came on the heels of a strong result at the Age Group meet two weeks ago in Abbotsford. “We’re bouncing back a little bit this year. We’re rebuilding with a young core of kids and I think we’ve got a shot at a few medals (at B.C.s). Here are the top results from the Alberni meet: boys, 1st - Dylan Duggan, 54kg; Colton Lee, 63kg; Bruce Malla, 45kg; Shivan Rajkumar, hw; Arashk Rasti, 70kg; Rajan Sidhu, 66kg. 3rd - Graham Armstrong, 74kg. 4th - Allen Ding, 66kg. 6th - Daniel Li, 70kg. Girls, 1st - Erna Armstrong, 47kg; Sunna Bhayana, 47kg. 2nd - Tanisha Johal, 43kg.

Metro Vancouver a buyer’s market, prices slide Metro Vancouver’s home sellers took the opportunity of the New Year to list their properties, with new listings in the region up 244.6 per cent month over month in January, and nearly 28 per cent higher than the same month last year. The latest monthly stats from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, released February 4, revealed that the salesto-active-listings ratio in the region is now just 10.2 per cent across all property types, putting it firmly into a buyer’s market. While sellers were making their play, buyers did not seem to be responding. There were 1,103 Metro Vancouver home sales in January, which is a 39.3 per cent decline from the 1,818 sales recorded in January 2018, and a 2.9 per cent increase from December. The January sales total was 36.3 per cent below the 10-year average for January and the lowest January total since 2009.
REBGV president Phil Moore said, “Realtors are seeing more traffic at open houses compared to recent months – however, buyers are choosing to remain in a holding pattern for the time being.” The region’s composite benchmark price for all home types combined is currently $1,019,600. This is a 4.5 per cent slide since January 2018, and a drop of 1.2 per cent from December 2018. SALES AND PRICES Detached prices in Burnaby North fell even more than the regional trend, down 9.7 per cent annually, the joint-third-fastest decline in the region. Burnaby East and South’s single-family home prices fell 7.8 and 8 per cent respectively. Sales of attached properties such as townhomes, row houses and duplexes fell 35.7 per cent year over year to 205 across the region in January, which is 8.6 per cent higher than the extremely weak December.

The benchmark price of an attached home now stands at $800,600, down 0.5 per cent year over year. This is a 1.1 per cent or $9,100 decrease from December’s benchmark of $809,700. In Burnaby, attached-unit prices stayed close to flat from last year, with Burnaby North down 1.4 per cent, and Burnaby South and East up 0.8 and 1.9 per cent respectively. Condo sales in Metro Vancouver totalled 559 in January, which is a significant 44.8 per cent decrease from January 2018, and a rise of 4.5 per cent since December. The benchmark price of a typical condo in the region is $658,600, which is the first time in this cycle that it has posted a year-over-year decline. That price is 1.7 per cent lower than in January 2018. Burnaby’s condo prices fell between 1.4 and 4 per cent year over year, the largest of those drops occurring in Burnaby East.
