ELECTION

Byelection debate descends into chaos

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The third and final public debate ahead of the Feb. 25 Burnaby South byelection briefly descended into chaos Tuesday, with shouting matches, accusations of racism and one candidate crying on stage. As with the other two debates, emotions ran high when the subject came to immigration and refugee resettlement.The de-

bate, hosted by the Ismaili Centre, was interrupted by hecklers who shouted at candidates and each other several times. The emotionally charged debate came six days before the byelection that could see Jagmeet Singh gain his first seat in Parliament since becoming NDP leader. The most heated moment came as Singh and People’s Party of Canada candidate Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson exchanged

pointed remarks about Canada’s immigration policies. “I want everyone to look around this room,” Singh said. “Every single person in this room – except for the first people of this land – the rest of you are all immigrants or from a family of immigrants.” The NDP leader said Canada “fundamentally” needs immigration. Canada needs to make its immigration system more transpar-

ent and must recognize the foreign credentials of skilled immigrants, he said. Thompson followed Singh by saying most Canadians don’t want an increase in immigration and that the NDP and Liberals are “extreme in this regard.” The PPC candidate then brought up the 2017 murder of Burnaby teen Marrisa Shen.The man accused in her death, Ibrahim Ali, was a refugee from Syria. There is no publicly known

evidence to suggest Ali had a criminal record or other red flags that were missed by Canadian officials. He has yet to stand trial. Thompson said Shen’s murder “demands that we be careful in vetting the refugees that come to our land.” This prompted loud cheers and applause from a group of PPC supporters in the crowd, followed by a man wearing a Liberal button who stood and pointed

at Thompson, yelling “That is racist! Shame on you!” The debate ground to a halt as audience members shouted at one another before moderator Jason D’Souza got things back under control. “Let’s acknowledge the emotions in the room,” D’Souza said, adding the exchange of ideas should remain on stage between candidates.

Haunting video shows fatal punch Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The last images of 22-year-old Michael PageVincelli alive are of him standing in a Burnaby Starbucks eating a bag of chips before a man strides quickly towards him and punches him in the head, apparently without warning. Page-Vincelli’s mother, Steffany Page, has seen the security footage maybe a dozen times. “I think I can handle it, but I can’t,” she told the NOW. “It’s like a painful death all over again. It’s like watching my son die. He didn’t deserve that.” The video was shown again in B.C. Supreme Court inVancouver last Wednesday at the trial of Lawrence Sharpe and Oldouz Pournouruz, a couple accused of manslaughter in Page-Vincelli’s death in July 2017. The video was taken from inside the Kensington Square Starbucks on Hastings Street on July 12, 2017. It shows Page-Vincelli enter the Starbucks in a red Tshirt, blue jeans and bright orange runners. A few moments later, a tall man and a woman enter.

While the woman lingers by the door, the man goes to deliver the blow, knocking Page-Vincelli out of the frame of the camera. The couple exits quickly and shocked bystanders can be seen looking down at Page-Vincelli, whose feet are

just visible in the frame. Watching the final fatal seconds of the video in court, his mother covered her eyes with clenched fists and wept. The punch caused PageVincelli to fall and hit his head on the ground and

possibly a counter, fracturing his skull and rendering him brain dead, according to Crown prosecutor Colleen Smith. He never regained consciousness. Smith, who finished presenting the Crown’s case on Tuesday, is arguing the man

who delivered the punch was Sharpe, spurred on by Pournouruz, who had had an argument with Page-Vincelli outside of the Royal Bank nearby while Sharpe was inside. Witnesses have said they saw a man and woman yell-

ing, swearing and throwing a cigarette back and forth at each other. The DNA of both PageVincelli and Pournouruz was found on a cigarette butt recovered from the scene, according to an expert witness. The man had called the woman a “dirty immigrant” and other vulgar names, according to other witnesses. Hearing that testimony brought tears to his mother’s eyes. “I’m not happy about it,” she said. “It shouldn’t have happened … I’m not proud of what he said with her, but I am proud of him for walking away.” Painful as it was to watch, Page said she is glad the video exists, both to shed light on what happened and as a warning to others. “When does it stop?” she asked. “How many other kids need to be hit that are somebody’s kids?Violence is not a way to solve a problem.” Page’s best friend, Denise Pereira, who was with her in court, agreed. “The thing people tend to forget is when you make the decision to lay your hands on someone, anything can happen, anything.”

PPC candidate ﬁles complaint over ‘smear brochure’ Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson of the People’s Party of Canada has filed a complaint accusing her Conservative opponent, Jay Shin, of spreading lies about her ahead of the Feb. 25 byelection in Burnaby South. Shin’s campaign printed and distributed flyers with images of drugs and paraphernalia.The pamphlets, printed in English and Chinese, suggest Thompson and her party’s leader, Maxime Bernier, support safeinjection sites and marijuana legalization. “How is this different from Justin Trudeau? Are these your values?” the pamphlet asks. Thompson told the NOW the literature is inaccurate. “It’s absolutely defamatory and it’s absolutely false and it’s lies,” she said. “I’m very upset.”

The PPC candidate said she discussed the issues with Bernier, who could not recall the interview in which he’s reported as being open to supporting more safe-injection sites. She said the party currently has no position on the issue, but she personally does not support the harm-reduction strategy. “I support people being free of drug addiction and that does not include enabling,” she said. She said she opposed recreational cannabis legalization but has “zero interest in trying to reverse that.” Thompson said she filed a formal complaint with the Commissioner of Elections Canada. She also said she asked the Shin campaign to stop distributing the “smear brochure.” The commissioner’s office did not respond to a request for comment from the NOW.Thompson said she received a response to her complaint that she took as a dismissal.

According to Thompson, the commissioner’s office wrote: “In order that elections be conducted freely and in a manner consistent with traditional democrat-

ic values – and in the interest of promoting vigorous debates and exchanges of ideas, it is important that considerable latitude be given to electoral contestants

so that they may criticize or take issue with the views or the positions of their opponents or those of their leader.” Shin was unapologetic. “My position is the voters need to know exactly what each of the candidates stand for,” he said. Shin said Thompson misquoted the Elections Act. Thompson’s press release quotes a section of the act which states it’s illegal to induce someone to vote or not to vote “by any pretence or contrivance.” Her release, however, does not include a part of the same clause which specifies “including by representing that the ballot or the manner of voting at an election is not secret.” Shin said this omission amounts to “misquoting” and “rewriting” the law. “She’s the one who’s really lying about this issue,” he said. Shin said he supports the four pillars approach to ad-

diction: prevention, treatment, enforcement and harm reduction. Safe-injection sites are an aspect of the harm-reduction approach to addiction. Asked if he supports allowing existing safe-injection sites to continue operating, Shin said he needs to study the topic more. “I’m not advocating more safe-injection sites; that’s not our policy position,” he said. But Shin did not have a clear answer when asked about a safe-injection room that may be established in Burnaby South. A planned supportive housing project on Norland Avenue might include an injection room open only to the building’s residents, Jaye Treit, the executive director of the Progressive Housing Society, told the NOW in June. “I don’t know about that project,” Shin said. “I need to know more about it, so I can’t really comment on that right now.”

City now ‘We’ve got to call out the coded language’: Singh Continued from page 1 Liberal Richard Lee fought back tears as he tried to answer the immigration question. He said he has met with Shen’s family, who told him they don’t want their daughter’s death politicized. “All I want to say is let the courts decide,” Lee said. Earlier in the debate, Lee said immigration must continue and be supported. He said he came to Canada in 1971 with his family under a family reunification program initiated by the Liberal government of the time. “Canada is a very compassionate country and we welcome immigrants, including refugees, to come to Canada and to contribute to our economy,” Lee said. Conservative Jay Shin said he too welcomes more immigrants to Canada. “I’m an immigrant, so obviously Canada is built on immigration,” he said. “So immigration is something we need to have, but what I support is legal immigration to Canada.” Shin said the current Liberal government set arbitrary targets for welcoming Syrian refugees without the adequate resources to support them. The Conservative also said Canadians shouldn’t let the emotions associated with Shen’s murder dictate policymaking. Independent Terry Grimwood said Canada’s immigration system needs to be more fair. He said he’s met young people in the country on temporary work visas who want to stay longer but can’t. “I’m all for immigration, and I just would like to see people being able to come here from all parts of the

world,” Grimwood said. “It has to be balanced.” A followup question about Shen’s murder and immigration policies brought another round of barbs between Singh and Thompson. “We’ve got to call out the coded language,” Singh said. He said people are treating the Shen case differently due to the race of the accused killer. Singh said people are not using Bruce McArthur, a white man convicted of killing eight men in Toronto, to disparage white people. “To use a horrible incident to incite violence or hatred against an entire community is wrong; it’s not something we should do as a society,” Singh said. “When people use a horrible incident to incite violence, they’re effectively saying that refugees are murderers.” The room once again erupted following Singh’s comment, with loud boos and one man yelling “Stupid!” and “Idiot!” repeatedly. Thompson said she was not being racist. “I want to go on record as saying that if it was a white person who was coming into our country that was not properly vetted, I would be against that,” she said. “This actually has nothing to do with the colour of anyone’s skin.” The debate also touched on housing, job creation and climate change. Shin’s solution to several issues was tax cuts. He said the best way to make housing more affordable would be to grow the economy, which would in turn increase wages.

The Conservative also criticized the Liberal government’s purchase of the Trans Mountain pipeline, saying that money could have been better spent on social programs. Lee touted the Liberal record on a host of issues. He said the Trudeau government is investing billions in its national housing strategy, as well as job skills training to strengthen the Canadian workforce. The Liberal repeatedly mentioned he has lived in Burnaby for 32 years and represented the community as a BC Liberal MLA for 16 years. Grimwood, who plans to establish a new party called Canada Fresh, said he has a plan to build 200 service hubs throughout rural Canada that will make travel and work easier. The independent said his time as a North Vancouver city councillor in the 1970s taught him housing is a municipal issue. As the debate wrapped up, hecklers once again interrupted as Singh answered a question about his connections to the riding. Two men, including former Burnaby First Coalition council candidate Alain Deng, said the New Democrat was lying when he said he lives in the riding. Singh moved from Ontario with his wife to Burnaby South in November. Independent Valentine Wu (who was not at the debate) also lives in Burnaby South, where he says he’s been resident for 15 years. Lee lives in North Burnaby;Thompson lives in New Westminster; Shin lives in Vancouver and Grimwood lives in Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast.

City makes way for new taxi app Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Lower Mainland residents could be hailing a ride using a smartphone app as early as late February – but they won’t get picked up by an Uber or Lyft driver. Kater, a self-described ride-hailing app from Surrey, will get a head start on the two popular services used in almost every major North American city except Metro Vancouver. The Vancouver Taxi Association recently entered an agreement with Kater Technologies Inc. to use the app in 141 of its cabs, 20 of which will be operated by Burnaby-based Bonny’s Taxi. Kater vehicles will be marked differently from regular taxis and will only pick up passengers who pre-arrange a trip via the app.The company’s website says it will charge a base fare of $3.20, plus 55 cents per minute or $1.84 per kilometre. At its Feb. 11 meeting,

Burnaby city council directed staff to relax city bylaws to make way for Kater. The cars won’t be required to have an illuminated light, the word “taxi” or “cab” on the vehicle or a meter inside the vehicle. The bylaws requiring regular inspections, a chauffeur’s permit for drivers and 24-hour service provided “to all persons” will remain. Kater plans to start a oneyear pilot project on Feb. 23. The new service will have the opportunity to operate as a sort of hybrid of taxi and ride-hailing before Uber and Lyft are allowed into the market. The provincial government expects to have the insurance products ready for ride-hailing by the coming fall.Transportation Minister Claire Trevena has not given a firm date on when Uber and Lyft drivers will be able to hit the road. Burnaby Coun. Pietro Calendino said he is happy to see Kater coming to the city, noting its vehicles will

be subject to annual inspections – a requirement that does not exist for ride-hailing vehicles in other jurisdictions. “This will be under our safety control by the city, and that’s a good thing to have,” Calendino said. “I think it gives the taxi company a way of being able to prepare for a way of competing with real ride-hailing once the province will allow them in, so I think it’s a good start.” Bonny’s donated $8,875 to the Burnaby Citizens Association – of which Calendino and six other councillors are members – between 2015 and 2017, before new campaign donation restrictions came into force. Bonny’s general manager, Emon Bari, did not respond to requests for comment. Reached by phone,Vancouver Taxi Association spokesperson Carolyn Bauer said she would not be commenting on the Kater deal at this time. Kater also declined comment. Lyft spokesperson Fati-

ma Reyes declined an interview request but provided a statement to the NOW. “People across the province have made it clear they want real choice when it comes to transportation, not just more taxis,” she wrote in an email. “Kater is a taxi service, not ridesharing, meaning it is subject to the same rules that make taxis unreliable.” Reyes said Lyft hopes to launch in B.C. later this year, once regulations change. The NOW reached out to Uber for comment. Ian Tostenson, spokesperson for Ridesharing Now, said he was asked by a representative of the company to respond on its behalf. Tostenson said Kater will not be able to provide the type of service commuters expect from ride-hailing. Kater’s fees and its number of drivers on the road at any one time will not respond to demand like with Uber and Lyft, he said. –With files fromTyler Orton, Business inVancouver

Time for the meddling to stop with BC Hydro

The BC Liberals are currently not in government, so it’s weird how the party could have had such a bad five-day stretch last week. Normally it’s the party in power that suffers political misfortunes. The party took a hit on Feb. 12 when one of its MLAs, Linda Reid, was replaced as Assistant Deputy Speaker of the B.C. legislature by Coquitlam-Burke Mountain’s Joan Isaacs. Reid’s role as Assistant Deputy Speaker became contentious after a report was released by Speak-

er Darryl Plecas in January.The report looked into spending by two high-level legislative employees and raised questions about expense reports and a missing investigation into a retirement allowance that allegedly happened under Reid’s watch as speaker. Reid’s own travel expenses were also brought into question. Reid has denied any wrongdoing. Things got worse on Valentine’s Day when a report commissioned by the British Columbia government said BC Hydro custom-

ers will pay $16 billion over the next two decades because the Crown utility was pressured to sign long-term contracts with independent power producers – including those that had donated heavily to the BC Liberals. Minister of Energy Michelle Mungall commissioned the report, which blames the previous BC Liberal government for creating the problem. The report says the Liberals manufactured an urgent need for electricity but restricted BC Hydro from producing it, forcing

the utility to turn to private producers and sign lengthy contracts at inflated prices. Former B.C.Treasury Board director Ken Davidson authored the study, which estimates the cost to the average residential BC Hydro customer will amount to about $4,000 over the next 20 years, or about $200 per year. Davidson recommends all future energy purchases be made at market rates and finds BC Hydro must be allowed to meet supply obligations through a reasonable level of market

trading, rather than by generating all electricity within the province. Mungall says he also concludes the long-term deals forced upon BC Hydro were mainly with run-ofriver producers, whose power is primarily available during spring run-off, when B.C. doesn’t require it. “B.C. didn’t benefit. BC Hydro customers didn’t benefit. A small number of well-placed independent power producers benefited, and customers were stuck with a 40-year payment plan,” Mungall said.

Meddling with Crown corporations is nothing new to B.C. politics. BC Hydro and ICBC have been used as political pawns for decades – including when the BC NDP was in government. It’s time for the meddling to stop. Ratepayers are fed up with getting gouged with higher rates due to mismanagement stemming from political gamesmanship – such as pilfering revenues in order to balance the provincial budget.

NOW & THEN CHRIS CAMPBELL

Baby quarantined for his birthday

Stefania Seccia is fired up. Like, I’ve never seen her this fired up before and I used to work with her in a newsroom – a place where people are constantly fired up. But this is her son, Max, we’re talking about. Max turned one year old on Tuesday, and instead of having a big party with all of their friends and family, this Burnaby family has had to quarantine him – all because some parents didn’t get the MMR vaccine for their own children. Stefania received a call from a nurse on Friday telling her that Max was exposed to measles during a Feb. 1 visit to BC Children’s Hospital. You’ve likely heard about the recent measles outbreak in Vancouver. Cases have been linked to three unvaccinated children who had travelled to Vietnam. Baby Max is especially vulnerable because he was born premature and spent a month in an NICU.This means if he contracts the measles, then he is at a high risk of developing things like encephalitis, seizures or pneumonia. His hearing could also be permanently damaged.The measles can also be fatal for people in this high-risk category. So, yeah, Stefania is fired up and speaking out so other parents won’t make the same mistake of not vaccinating their children. “We were really looking forward to Max’s birthday and doing things a normal family does,” said Stefania, who says the days are agonizing watching for

symptoms until he has finished the quarantine period. “We’re going to spend his birthday worrying.We have to watch and wait. It’s infuriating. In this day and age, we shouldn’t have to do this.” It’s all so unnecessary.We used to lionize the medical pioneers who invented these vaccines – now the antivaxxer movement is defecating on their memories. Stefania says people trust celebrities more than scientists. The father of the three unvaccinated kids said in an interview that when his children were younger, he was worried vaccines could cause autism.That is baloney, of course – it’s been thoroughly debunked. But facts don’t seem to matter in a time when people are trying to boost their egos by thinking they’re smarter than scientists. “I associate anti-vaxxers with flat-Earthers and climate-change deniers,” Stefania said. “So I’m willing to speak out to counter them.” Stefania is hoping B.C. Premier John Horgan will hear her family’s story and change policy, with some sort of mandatory vaccinations. Ontario, New Brunswick and Manitoba make it mandatory for attending public schools. I’ve met Max. He’s adorable, and I will be worrying along with his parents. This has got to stop. People need to wake up. Government needs to make some changes. This is madness.

Couple’s property ‘land-locked’ A couple nearing retirement and hoping to “move south,” if they could sell their property near Kingsway and Acorn Avenue, ran into an unforeseen problem.Their property had become “land-locked” by zoning restrictions in the neighbourhood.The property at 7275 Acorn Ave. had highrises on two sides but couldn’t be redeveloped itself because the parcel was too small for a tower. Attempts to sell the land had been unsuccessful, and the city’s planning department refused to relax the zoning restrictions to make the sale more attractive.

Debate felt more like a Trump rally

Disgusting that Singh parachuted into riding

Editor: Re: Singh ‘disgusted’ by refugee rhetoric, NOW, Feb. 14 While I didn’t attend the Burnaby South allcandidates meeting on Monday night, I saw it on YouTube and I found parts of it quite disturbing. I was particularly disturbed by the Trump rallytype atmosphere in the room. I believe the old adage that the empty vessel makes the most noise. I would say that distinction goes to People’s Party candidate Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson and her cheerleaders at the meeting. She came across to me as a clone of Donald Trump. She spoke a lot about “Canadian values” but what came across was a kind of arrogant disrespect for minorities, people of colour, the LGBT community and people who believe that women should have a choice over their own bodies. I hope that Canadians are more enlightened than our southern neighbours. When I was growing up, I distinctly remember how each wave of immigrants was singled out for ridicule by some members of the dominant group. They were each, in turn, taunted with a derogatory name. The People’s Party seems to be continuing in this dreadful tradition by singling-out refugees for derision. This is shameful conduct on the part of a political party and I think it should be roundly condemned by all fair-minded Canadians. Canada is strong because we are diverse and inclusive. Daniel Theal, Burnaby

Editor: Re: Singh ‘disgusted’ by refugee rhetoric, NOW, Feb. 14 What I find “disgusting” is that a parachuted candidate who is not a Burnaby citizen dares to criticize Burnaby candidates who live here and are running here (that is what democracy is supposed to look like) and who exercise their right to free speech. I disagree with all parties who parachute party people into other districts because there is a better chance of getting elected. When you analyze that process it is very similar to third world politics. You provide an incentive (I call it a bribe) of a prestige position or more money or extra pension to vacate a position in a riding so that large amounts of money from the party can parachute a candidate of their (not the local citizens of Burnaby) choosing, along with a big advertising budget, to win that seat. I, for one, would not like my donated money to a political party be used in that manner. You have to ask – is a person really a leader if he/she cannot be elected in their own city or environment? Does that alone not send up a red flag? In my opinion, if a party leader does not get elected in his local riding, the party should choose another leader from those that have been elected. After all, that would be the will of the people. That would be true democracy in action, but I guess I dream too much. Peter Tamminga

Some anti-pipeline protesters figured Wednesday, Feb. 13 was a good day to deliver Valentine’s cards to the regulator at its downtown Vancouver office.The protesters weren’t exactly lovestruck, though, saying their displays “depict a broken planet resulting in broken-hearted children.” The NEB has until Feb. 22 to deliver a new report looking at the impact of oil tanker traffic resulting from the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline. Members of Burnaby Residents Opposed to Kinder Morgan Expansion said they will also be delivering Valentine’s Day cards to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi and various MPs from Metro Van-

Open doors, open hearts A Burnaby mosque open house was designed to counter stigmas and build a stronger community Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

As Tazul Ali walked me through Burnaby’s Masjid Al-Salaam mosque on Saturday, she was posed a question about common misconceptions about Islam. She paused for a moment and glanced at a woman sitting nearby who was quietly reciting prayers to herself, eyes closed, her head slowly nodding. Ali said it had to do with women and Islam, and how people assume women have no choices. For example, the mosque has a separate prayer space for women, but they are free to pray with the men if they choose. “It’s all a personal choice,” said Ali, as she continued her tour of the mosque during an open house that invited the community to come in and learn more about Islam. The event was part of a B.C.-wide day in which mosques across the province open their doors to educate people about their religion. “In a world with evergrowing stigma and confusion around Islam and Muslims, we want to open our doors, our minds and our hearts to everyone around us, and build a stronger community,” said Asma Mazhar, one of the event organizers. And they really did open

their hearts.There was a definite feeling of joy and love in the room as people went from display to display, asking questions, munching on goodies and listening to recorded information.You could even try on a hijab or get your photo taken at a selfie booth. The place was packed with visitors. Sure, there was a gaggle of politicians, such as federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian, and Burnaby MLAs Raj Chouhan and Janet Routledge. But there were also a lot of regular folks on hand. I ran into the son of one of my former reporters. His name is Trevor Booth, and he’s a Burnaby resident and RCMP officer who is still in his 20s. “I just came to find out more,” Booth said. “The more we know about people, the stronger our community is.” When I posted a preview about the open house on the NOW Facebook page last week, some of the comments in response were disturbing and confirmed why such an event is needed. Many of the comments – which were deleted due to their offensive content, such as some awful memes – included gross stereotypes and misconceptions about Islam. Many of these misconceptions involved the hijab.

A group of women I spoke to at the open house said the biggest mistake people make about the hijab is assuming women are forced to wear it. It’s a personal choice,

they told me. According to a pamphlet I was given, “In the Western world, the hijab has come to symbolise either forced silence, or radical, unconscionable militancy. Actually, it’s

neither. It is simply a woman’s assertion that judgment of her physical person is to play no role whatsoever in social interaction.Wearing the hijab has given me freedom from constant atten-

tion to my physical self. Because my appearance is not subjected to public scrutiny, my beauty, or perhaps lack of it, has been removed from the realm of what can legitimately be discussed.”

New date set for meeting on traffic disruptions A new date has been set after snow last week cancelled a Burnaby public meeting about FortisBC gas line upgrades. The meeting will take place on Thursday, Feb. 28 at Cameron Recreation Centre, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. It will detail traffic disruptions expected to be caused by the project and hear public input. FortisBC is upgrading its natural gas line – it was built in 1958 – in February, spreading to different locations through April. FortisBC is upgrading 20 kilometres of gas line between Vancouver and Coquitlam. Work started last year in Vancouver and Burnaby, and in 2019 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 patience and understanding, both so far and as we complete construction this year.” 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 upgrades are scheduled to be completed in 2019, with 12 kilometres of new gas line being built and roads along the project route facing disruptions during construction. The community can stay informed, including on traffic, through the project website TalkingEnergy.ca. A total of eight kilometres of new line was built in Vancouver and Burnaby in 2018.

He ignored diabetes warnings - then he woke up

Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

If Mario Miceli could go back 13 years to the time his doctor told him he was prediabetic, he would raise his voice and talk some sense into his younger self to take it seriously. That’s because his younger self heard everything his doctor was saying and then promptly ignored it. Four years later, the Burnaby resident was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. The reasons for being in denial were many. He was 43 at the time and a busy father of two. He was also a man and, like many dudes,

unwilling to admit he had a problem. He also worked in the corporate world and was afraid of being judged by his co-workers and his bosses. “People see Type 2 diabetes as a weakness,” says Miceli, now 56. “There’s a real stigma and so I just ignored it.” Then, one day, his doctor said that he was concerned about what diabetes was doing to his kidney function. “That’s what my diabetes decided to attack,” Miceli said. “That was a wakeup call.” Miceli also had a terrifying hypoglycemic episode, which means that his blood sugars were danger-

ously low. “I woke up drenched in sweat and my head foggy,” Miceli said. “I thought I was having a heart attack.” Stumbling around his home in the dark, Miceli decided to test his blood sugars and it confirmed hypoglycemia. Speaking with Miceli today, it’s hard to imagine him being so clueless about his health.The “wake-up call” set him on a path in which he volunteers as an advocacy chair for Diabetes Canada BC/Yukon. Now semi-retired, Miceli speaks regularly to people about Type 2 diabetes. Just in the past week, he was in Europe

At least that’s the way it sounded when I listened to Colin Fowler talk about the constant issues involving transit to and from the Burnaby campus. The fourth-year economics student at SFU spoke at Friday’s open meeting of the Mayors Council on transportation, which represents local communities in TransLink’s jurisdiction. He outlined a series of

problems he’s seen since going to school at SFU, most recently due to the snow that fell throughout the past week. Fowler detailed how everything from vehicle accidents on the roads leading up to SFU to snow cause terrible delays for students – sometimes forcing students to either walk the rest of the way up the hill, or all the way down the mountain when the buses can’t make it up the icy roads. But Fowler said the SFU bus routes also regularly have issues with too many riders for not enough buses. “Hundreds were left waiting at the upper bus loop,” Fowler told the mayors in

regards to a busy time at 1 p.m. this past Thursday. Fowler is pushing for the mayors to approve the gondola project, which was included as one of the “major projects” in the Mayors’ Council’s 10-year vision update for transit and transportation, released on Sept. 21, 2017. According to a NOW story from 2017, there are approximately 25,000 daily bus trips to and from Burnaby Mountain, and demand is expected to grow by 60 per cent in the next 20 years, according to the Mayors’ Council’s 10-year plan. According to a 2011 business case prepared for TransLink, it would cost

$120 million to build the gondola, with annual operating costs of $3 to $3.5 million (in 2011 dollars). The study found the benefits outweigh the cost, in-

Hundreds were left waiting at the upper bus loop

cluding a reduction of 7,100 tonnes in greenhouse gas emissions. Fowler compared the gondola cost versus the proposed multi-billion-dollar rapid-transit line out to UBC – which Fowler agrees

“It’s clear that SFU isn’t campaigning nearly as hard as UBC is for the subway,” he said at the meeting. In my search of articles, I did find that SFU president Andrew Petter had been vocal in summer of 2016. He’s likely doing more lobbying behind the scenes. When Fowler looks at the gondola project, all he sees is increased capacity compared to buses, less pollution and commuting time up the hill shaved in half. “There is no reason I see to ever stop the gondola (project),” he told the mayors, adding, “It is the lowhanging fruit that would alleviate much of the commuting worries” of students.

is also needed. But Fowler said the UBC project is getting all the attention from politicians, while the gondola project languishes – despite its cost being far cheaper. “So, quite frankly, what gives,” Fowler asked the mayors. It’s a good question. Fowler and a few others say one problem is too few SFU students know about the gondola project and its benefits – so they’ve started a Facebook page to raise awareness about it so more students will be part of the lobbying. Fowler also wants SFU leadership to be more vocal about the project.

Take to your feet to help ﬁght against Alzheimer’s More than 60 per cent of Canadians who have a personal experience with dementia have reported being ignored or dismissed. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is inviting Burnaby residents to come together and join them in changing this by registering a team at the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, on Sunday, May 5 at the Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion. The walk is the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s flagship fundraiser. “Stigma reduction is at the core of our movement to create a dementia-friendly B.C., where people affected by dementia are welcomed, acknowledged and included. Residents can show their support by starting a team in the walk and showing people affected by dementia that they don’t walk alone,” says Sara Wagner, the society’s manager of regional services for the Fraser Region.

Celebrate Diversity

February 27, 2019 PiNK Shirt Day March on: The Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer’s for New Westminster and Burnaby takes place on Sunday, May 6 at Burnaby Lake Pavilion, 6871 Roberts St. in Burnaby. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

As well as reducing stigma, teams are crucial to the walk experience. “Teams are essential to the success of the walk – not only is being part of a team a fun experience, the friendly competition between teams ensures wonderful energy on the day of the event,” says Wagner. Funds raised at the IG Wealth Management Walk

for Alzheimer’s will help the Alzheimer Society of B.C. provide support and education programs that directly benefit Burnaby residents. To set up a team, go online to www.alzgiving.ca and register. Need an extra incentive? Teams that register online before Feb. 28 will go into a draw to win a pizza party.

The original Pink Shirt Day was organized by David Shepherd and Travis Price of Berwick, Nova Scotia, who in 2007 bought and distributed 50 pink shirts after male Grade 9 student, Charles McNeill, was bullied for wearing a pink shirt during the ﬁrst day of school.

April 10, 2019 International DAY of PiNK International Day of Pink is a day against homophobic, transphobic, and all forms of bullying. Celebrate diversity by wearing pink and challenge stereotypes with special activities on that day.

Be creative!

Amber Alerts are a wake-up call Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

describe how disappointing and upsetting it is to read the comments, emails and calls to our communications bureau complaining about receiving an Amber Alert late at night.” Disgusted by the disregard for a system that literally saves lives, an outpouring of objections hit the headlines, calling out the whiners who seemed to be more worried about a good night’s sleep than the life of a missing child. What kind of society have we become if people are more concerned about being interrupted than looking at an unexpected message that could potentially save a life? Amber Alerts, a wireless emergency alert system designed to locate children who have been abducted, have saved 934 children (as of October 2018) through widespread messages shared through highway signs,TV station “text crawls,” and direct messages to the devices of those living in the affected areas. The immediate speed of

the spread of the alert and the ability to cast a wider net when it comes to making the public aware of the missing child case are just some of the benefits. It’s a system that works. The complaints about the Amber Alert notifications are an important wake-up call for us all that living uninterrupted lives may not be worthwhile in the long run. While we may enjoy the comforts of closing ourselves off from interruption, we need to remember that sometimes a knock at the door, or an unexpected notification, may be a call for help that must be answered. I say keep the alerts coming because if disrupting my sleep could potentially save a child’s life, it’s more than worth the interruption. No loss of sleep could compare to the devastation of the loss of a child. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor and marketing consultant. Find her Twitter and Instagram at @bitsofbee.

Late-night knocks at the door, phone calls during dinner and friends coming and going without notice at any time of day. When I was growing up, interruption was just a part of life. But today, even if it’s a life-or-death situation, people just don’t seem to want to be bugged – and it’s becoming a real problem. Thanks to technology, we can now silence phone calls, ignore texts and complete transactions without having to talk to a live person. Playdates no longer exist without pre-determined plans, and few families have home phones – making those oldschool interruptions nearly obsolete. While we’ve become comfortable with the controlled communications that have resulted from these changes to technology, it seems as though we’ve forgotten about the impor-

tance of spontaneity, faceto-face interactions and the unspoken rule of helping others. On Feb. 14, an Amber Alert was issued across Ontario, notifying the public of the abduction of an 11-year-old girl in Toronto and pleading for the public’s help to locate the lost child. Unfortunately, the authorities were unable to save the girl in time; her body was discovered at her father’s home later that night. She was deceased. The search ended with devastating results and a disappointing outpouring of complaints from the public. Many of these people felt compelled to call the police – not to help with the search, but to complain of the late-night interruption received through their devices. In response to more than 300 complaints received as a result of the late-night wake-up call, media relations officer Const. Akhil Mooken of Ontario’s Peel Regional Police shared in a tweet, “I can’t even begin to

ARTISANS CALLED It may seem a teeny-tiny bit too early to be thinking about Christmas – but if you’re an artisan wanting to take part in the Deer Lake Craft Festival, it’s not as crazy as it sounds. The Burnaby Arts Council has an ongoing call for artisans to take part in the

annual festival, which is set for Nov. 22 to 24 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. Artisans must be juried in to the festival, and artisans are considered on an ongoing basis. So, although the deadline to apply is May 1, it’s a case of “the sooner the better.” “The Deer Lake Craft Festival usually sells out early, with a long wait list for jewelry and soap artisans, so if you are interested in par-

At home: Young artists’ work is on display at Burnaby Neighbourhood House in March. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED

Conﬁdent Children are less likely to be Bullied, Receive Better Grades and Make more Friends.

Children share art in their neighbourhood See the world through the eyes of children in the next art exhibition at Burnaby Neighbourhood House. Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s north location (4908 Hastings St.) is hosting an exhibition of work by children from Confederation Park Elementary School. It runs for the month of March, Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with an open house on Friday, March 1 from 6 to 8 p.m. Students in Jackie Fischer’s Div. 9 (kindergarten and Grade 1) class will show their work in Homes in Our Community. A press release notes that the class work began with the big idea that “We shape the local environment, and the local environment shapes who we are and how we live.” As a class, the students spend each Tuesdays morning exploring the local community and environment in what they call “nature school.” Confederation Park, as an “education through the arts” school, uses the chance to integrate the arts into other subject areas, such as science, math,

language arts and social studies. This particular art project started in two streams: social studies and visual arts. In social studies, students were exploring and sketching the local environment, including houses, trees and streets.Their work also included a math component, as they used geometric shapes to help sketch the houses. In visual arts, meanwhile, the students were learning about mixing pri-

mary colours to make secondary colours and using white to make tints. Once that initial work was done, students began to construct their houses, drawing upon their sketches and memories of their outdoor exploring.Their materials included scissors, the coloured paper they made during colour mixing, and white glue. Everyone is welcome to drop in to view the art.

Gardening with Mark

Now is a good time to prune many of your permanent garden plants. Just when you were getting used to the comfort of the couch and a warm winter fire, we come along to spoil it. Drive round the countryside and chances are good you will see orchardists pruning their apple trees this time of year.We can learn a lot from professionals. If you have an apple tree in your life, this is the perfect time of year to prune, before the flower buds swell in another couple of months. Pruning helps to make the tree look better, increases yield, and minimizes disease and insect problems by opening it up to filter the sunshine through the canopy. There are two goals in pruning an apple or crabapple (as they are virtually the same thing, one is edible and the other, not so

much): 1. Shape. Open the tree up by pruning out the top branches.This will allow sunshine to filter in on top of the fruit. Apples love sunshine.Try to create a rather odd, “vulture-like” appearance. Removing the top branches that shoot upwards for the sky and thins the tree encouraging more fruit and more accessible apples. 2. Prune out one-third of the mature growth, especially the branches that overlap one another.With a sharp pair of hand pruners, cut out the water sprouts that grow straight up from the main trunk and old wood. Remove each branch by cutting back to where it meets another, desirable branch.The remaining growth should tend to grow upwards.While this sounds like a contradiction, pruning upright growth from the top and downward growth from the lower branches, you will get the picture: thicker growth in the middle of the tree will bend lower come summer when the branches

are laden with fruit. This time of year, we live for the day that our apple trees are heavy with fruit. Postponing this job until summer will produce lots of water sprouts, smaller fruit, and takes energy away from the tree while it is fruiting. Evergreens can also be pruned this time of year. The goal is to control growth and to create a desired shape. Evergreens like spruce, pine and fir, lend themselves to pruning during the dormant season as

they will thicken up come late spring and early summer when the new flush of growth arrives.To a large degree, we prune these trees to make them thicker and more attractive. Cut branches back to another branch, the “axle,” where several new branches will bud out during the growing season, providing a thicker look. Don’t forget cedar hedges.This is a good time of year to give your cedar hedge a haircut to promote

thickness and to retain its shape. Now is an ideal time to get it under control. Whatever you prune, use a sharp pair of shears or loppers and clean them from time to time of gummy sap using an ammonia solution of one-part bleach to nine parts water. For wood over five centimetres thick, there is no substitute for a pruning saw. A quality pruning saw cuts on the fore stroke and the backstroke. Use a proper pruning saw to do the job,

and you will never go back. Assuming the snow isn’t too deep. In which case, enjoy the couch. Mark Cullen is an expert gardener, author, broadcaster, tree advocate and Member of the Order of Canada.

CANADA FOR SALE The Burnaby South By-election Conservative Candidate accuses NDP leader of cribbing a decade old Tory policy for his new Housing Plan. Canada Fresh Independent Candidate Terry Grimwood is accusing the Conservative Party of stealing an NDP policy in Quebec. Both parties want to give Quebec autonomy over Federal Tax Revenues in an outrageous bidding war for Quebec votes. Canada is a Federation of Provinces, not an association of sovereign states. We are a family. In every Province our taxes are paid to the Federal Government, ONE TAX RETURN except in Quebec.

Thank you citizens of Burnaby for making me feel so welcome. My idea of starting Canada fresh is being reinforced by what is going on in Victoria

as well as what is going on in Ottawa. Canada Fresh means a fresh start for Canada. In this by-election I am polling very well. With 6 Candidates the vote is going to be split up considerably. Terry Grimwood is the only Candidate pulling votes away from the NDP. If it was only a two-party race, we would win, but it is not. As a non-partisan party with a full spectrum platform we are attracting support from absolutely every corner of the Community. This is being written ten days prior to the by-election on Monday, February 25th. Terry Grimwood is the only Candidate with a wide spectrum of political support. We attribute our support to our platform. To beat the NDP, Vote Terry Grimwood, Independent. Whether we win or loose, our future as a new Canadian Political Party, Canada Fresh will be cast in stone. Thank you, Burnaby.

BURNABY LYRIC OPERA

Comic opera onstage at Shadbolt Centre He loves her. She doesn’t know he exists. It’s time to uncork “the elixir of love.” Yes, opera fans, Gaetano Donizetti’s popular comic opera L’elisir d’amore (The Elixir of Love) is coming soon to a stage near you: the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, to be exact. Burnaby Lyric Opera is staging the production from Feb. 23 to March 2. The opera follows the story of Nemorino (played by tenor Sergio Augosto), a poor peasant who is in love with the beautiful, wealthy landowner Adina (soprano Kallie Clayton) – but she doesn’t know he exists. Adding to his dilemma, Nemorino has a rival, Sergeant Belcore (baritone Aaron Durand), who’s openly courting Adina. Just in time, along comes a travelling medicine man, Dr. Dulcamara (bass Michael MacKinnon), with an “elixir of love” that may or may not fix everything – but not before the story has travelled a road of lovers’ quarrels, reconciliations and romantic confusion. The production also features soprano Isabella Hal-

laday as Giannetta, Adina’s friend. It’s directed by Sarah Pelzer, stage director of Vancouver Opera’sYoung Artist Program, and music direction is by Angus Kellett, who’ll be familiar to Burnaby Lyric Opera audiences from his work on its productions of La Bohème, Carmen and Il barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville). Burnaby Lyric Opera is an intermediate professional opera company that presents B.C.’s up-and-coming young opera singers in leading roles, serving as a “jumping-off point” for young opera singers on their way to the major stages of the opera world. L’elisir d’amore is onstage Feb. 23, 28 and March 2 at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. matinees on Feb. 25 and 27. Tickets are $36 regular, or $15 for youth for all evening performances, and $15 for all matinee seats. Buy through tickets. shadboltcentre.com or 604205-3000.

PLAYOFF HOCKEY

Steelers stake out an early edge in overtime Grandview begins playoffs with pair of OT road wins Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Overtime is so far a winning proposition for the Grandview Steelers. The Pacific Junior B Hockey League club has twice gone into the den of the Richmond Sockeyes and emerged victorious, taking a 2-1 lead in their quarter-final playoff series. On Monday, Mateo Coltellaro provided the heroics just 1:07 into the extra frame to put the Steelers in the driver’s seat – again. Grandview head coach Stevan Matic expects the series, however, to be far from done. “It feels good for our guys to get ahead,” said Matic, prior to Wednesday’s Game 4 – played after the NOW’s deadline. “Our offence has had its share of cold spells during the season, but we felt that we were generating puck movement and chances and that sooner than later we’d start get on a roll.” So far, the roll has gone their way in a tight battle with the Sockeyes. Despite a 15-point gap during the regular season, Grandview has emerged as the pacesetter in all three games, leading after 20 minutes each time. On Monday,Tristyn Olson and Tomislav Zlomislic sandwiched goals around Richmond’s Craig Schouten, with Zlomislic’s coming with time winding down. Schouten tallied the equalizer in the second period, setting the stage for Coltellaro’s marker. “It was a great job by our top line, they got right on the attack and a great effort (by Coltellaro) to finish it,” said Matic.

STANDING GROUND: Grandview Steelers’ netminder Cale Dolan prepares to smother the puck during a Richmond foray on Monday. The Steelers knocked off Richmond in overtime to take a 2-1 series lead. PHOTO MARK BOOTH/RICHMOND NEWS Of course, none of it would have happened had Steelers’ netminder Cale Dolan not stood on his head, turning aside 41 shots. In Game 2, Grandview held a 2-1 advantage with six minutes remaining, before the Sockeyes sniped four quick goals, including two into an empty net.

In the opening game, the Steelers were leading 4-2 with 20 minutes left to play before Richmond forced the issue, scoring twice to send it into overtime. In the second extra period, Connor Alderson gave Grandview the victory on a set-up from JarodYau. Matic said it’s imperative that

the squad’s powerplay starts clicking, especially with the Sockeyes staking out a physical brand of game. “We’ve got to take care of it on home ice, and we’ve got to make use of our powerplay opportunities,” he said. “Richmond is playing a physical game, which we

didn’t see during the regular season. It’s very exciting hockey and you see teams go on a five-minute surge.” The series continues on Thursday (tonight), 7 p.m. in Richmond, and will return on Sunday for Game 6, if necessary, 7:15 pm. at the Burnaby Winter Club.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Knights overcome fouls, feisty foe to net B.C. berth After upset loss in Lower Mainlands, St.Thomas More takes wild card route to advance to provincials Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

A post-game Happy Birthday serenade was icing on the cake for St.Thomas More senior girls basketball coach Jen Farano. The biggest gift on Tuesday was the win in PoCo. The Knights were forced into a neutral-site playoff with St. John Brebeuf, with the winner earning a ticket to the 2-A senior girls provincials, which run Feb. 27

to March 2 in Langley. As comfortable as 62-50 looks on paper, STM’s win over the Bruins was anything but. A 16-5 run over the final five minutes gives that impression. Otherwise, it was a nailbiter where a heavy balance of fouls against the Knights created an uphill battle. “We had to really make sure we were rotating the right people in because it was 5-0 for fouls and in

one quarter it was 8-1,” remarked Farano. “It was a little bit tricky. ...We tell the girls all the time they have to adjust to how the referees are refereeing the game. It took them until the fourth quarter before they figured it out.” Prior to that, it was a balancing act.The Knights two post players, Brooklyn Monks and Shiloh Corrales Nelson, drew some tough calls and found themselves taking turns on the side-

lines, as STM chose to field an extra guard to match Brebeuf’s smaller, quick lineup. Ahead by as much as five over much of the first half, STM suddenly found itself on the hot seat when the Bears’ Grade 10 Ashley Smith started to ring up the points, giving the Abbotsford team a 20-17 lead. Before halftime, the Knights regained the lead on back-to-back buckets from sisters Gigi and Bella

Gaspar. Although Brebeuf came out and briefly nudged ahead in the third quarter, the Burnaby squad took the lead position into the fourth quarter before Smith drained two quick buckets to make it 41-41. Gigi Gaspar’s jump shot, followed by a trey, started the late run. “It was a huge game.We only had a couple days to prepare but we knew we had to come in strong,” remarked co-captain Brook-

lyn Monks, who along with Corrales Nelson, fouled out in the fourth quarter. “It was a bit of a rough start but we are a good fourthquarter team and we knew that. Right before the fourth quarter started, we knew the bench had to be big, we had to transition and that’s what we did.” The Knights were forced into a wildcard game after placing fourth at the Lower Mainlands, where a 79-76 Continued on page 42

Sportsnow Wildcard win gives STM boost Continued from page 41 overtime loss to Britannia derailed their title ambitions. Monks, who sank the game-tying shot to force overtime, said that result may have provided a boost for the future run. “That was tough, because we knew (Britannia) was going to give us a good game, but I don’t think we expected it to be that close. They are super aggressive and an excellent team. I thought we did a really great job and it sucks that we lost in overtime. “They went on to beat the No. 1 ranked (St.Thomas Aquinas) by 20 points. It’s sad that we lost; it’s also a confidence boost that we only lost to them in overtime in their gym, so we know any team in the province we can have a competition with.” STM rebounded to end the tourney with a 68-65 win over Little Flower Academy, after opening with a 59-52 win over Whistler. Emma Stewart Barnett and Monks were named as Lower Mainland all stars.

SFU BASKETBALL

Clan send seniors off with a big win Sending their seniors off on a winning note, the Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team put down a convincing performance in outlasting the Saint Martin’s University Saints 77-57 on Saturday. With the Clan’s two seniors playng their final home game on Burnaby Mountain, the squad owned the paint and outscored the Saints 40-28 from inside while boosting their win streak to four games. While the visitors pushed ahead by six points in the early going, SFU found a rhythm and pried open a 22-18 lead after one quarter. Kendal Sands’ three-pointer to open the second frame gave the hosts the jump they needed to shoot down any Saints rally, as the Clan took control 42-28 after 20 minutes. They’d ramp it up in the third quarter, going ahead 66-41 en route to improving to 16-7 (12-4 in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play). Forward Ozioma Nwabuko led the way, going 10-of-11 for a game-high 20 points, and added three rebounds. Claudia Hart

knocked down 13 points and added three assists. Senior Sophie Swant chipped in 10 points and seven rebounds, while Sands ended up with 10 points and a pair of steals. The team’s other senior, sixfoot-three Samantha Beauchamp, contributed two points, three rebounds and two blocks before fouling out late in the second quarter. “It was disappointing that (Beauchamp) couldn’t be out there (in the second half), but we played the end for her,” said Hart. It came just two days after the squad silenced Seattle Pacific 82-61 on BurnHardwood scramble: SFU’s Sophie Swant, shown at right during a 2017 game, cashed in aby Mountain, thanks to a 34 points in last week’s win over Seattle Pacific.

Metro Vancouver homebuyers making sacriﬁces to save down payments Funding a home purchase can be a monumental challenge in pricey Canadian cities such as Metro Vancouver – and for some, it means making significant financial and lifestyle sacrifices. That means cutting back on dining out, travelling, and even saving for retirement, according to a recent survey by Sotheby’s International Realty Canada and Mustel Group. That’s if you can even get started – 37 per cent of Metro Vancouver respondents said that their basic day-to-day living expenses were the primary barrier to building a down payment. For those who are managing to do so, many have to tighten their purse strings elsewhere in order to afford it. The survey of Canadian “modern families” found that the most-often cited sacrifice was reducing or eliminating dining out, with 51 per cent nationally saying they were using this method. This was followed by

reducing or eliminating travel, then nonessential expenses such as new clothing, and then non-essential entertainment or health/fitness expenses.

Vancouverites were willing to do so, and 41 per cent of locals were cutting down on personal expenditure, compared with 45 per cent nationally in both categories.

Across Canada, the fifth most-cited method for building a down payment was to delay saving for retirement, with 20 per cent making this sacrifice – a figure matched in Metro Vancouver.

The survey report said, “Despite housing affordability challenges, young family homeowners in [Metro] Vancouver are less likely to have sacrificed non-essential lifestyle spending in order to save for their down payment than in other Canadian metropolitan areas… [Instead,] Vancouver families are more likely to secure a higher paying job to save for their down payment, at a rate of 21 per cent [compared with 19 per cent nationally].”

NON-ESSENTIAL LIFESTYLE SPENDING However, Metro Vancouverites revealed themselves less inclined to cut back on the finer things in life to save for their down payment – or perhaps less in need of doing so than their counterparts in other Canadian cities. Just 45 per cent of Metro Vancouver respondents said they would reduce or eliminate dining out to save for their down payment, compared with 51 per cent across the country. In terms of cutting travel expenditure, 43 per cent of Metro

The report added, “Vancouver families are the least likely of their urban Canadian counterparts to delay the decision to have a child in order to save for a home, with nine per cent reporting this as a strategy used [compared with 12 per cent across Canada’s urban centres].”

BABINGTON - Isabel Joyce, (nee King) “JOYCE”, age 86, formerly of New Westminster passed away peacefully in Kamloops on February 14, 2019. Joyce was born August 26, 1932 in Wilkie Saskatchewan before the family moved to White Rock, BC in 1936. Joyce graduated from Semiahmoo High school in 1950, starting her career as a bank teller. Joyce retired from the telecommunications industry as an executive secretary at the age of 72. After retirement, Joyce loved to volunteer her time at Century House, in New Westminster. Preceded in death by her parents Reuben Roy King, Isabella King (nee Gavel), and all nine of her brothers and sisters. Joyce is survived by her loving daughter, Susan Dawn Folinsbee, her husband John and grandson James; loving son, Jeffrey Donald Babington and granddaughters Brianne Jennifer and Krystle Dawn, numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends. The family are thankful for the wonderful care given by Dr. Susan D. Vlahos, also the staff at Royal Inland Hospital. No services will be held at this time as Joyce will be interred with her mother, father and siblings at the Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery in Surrey, BC. Celebrations of life will take place in the spring. Joyce was a long-time supporter of the SPCA and if desired, friends may make memorial contributions to the Kamloops SPCA, or to one of the fund-raising campaigns to rebuild the famous White Rock Pier, a place Joyce loved so much. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com
