Homeless housing projects getting closer Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Within months, Burnaby is expected to have two new housing options for homeless people. Despite delays, a 52-unit modular supportive housing complex is expected to be complete and occupied on Norland Avenue by midJune. And the city hopes to have a permanent shelter up and running around the same time.

Both facilities will be firsts in the city. The province first announced the Norland project in May, 2018 as part of its Rapid Response to Homelessness program. The NDP government has pledged $7.6 million to build the homes at 3986 Norland Ave. Burnaby-based Progressive Housing Society will manage the site. The small studio apartments will include bath-

rooms, kitchens and beds. Residents will have access to a full suite of services, including laundry, life-skills training, health care and meal programs. The building was originally slated to be complete this month, but was “held up due to site constraints and slight delays with the rezoning and permitting process,” B.C. Housing spokesperson Rajvir Rao wrote in an email. The city has finalized re-

zoning of the empty lot and is expected to issue a building permit by March 21, “at which time crews will begin construction and pouring the foundation,” she said. Rao said the process has also been delayed because specialists had to be called in to clear invasive knotweed from the site. The modular housing units are built and sitting in a Kamloops factory, waiting to be shipped to Burnaby on April 20, Rao said.

Rao said the new building should be complete and occupied by mid-June. Jaye Treit, executive director of Progressive Housing Society, said the project will soon have an official name, to be announced soon. Meanwhile, the City of Burnaby is working to establish its first year-round homeless shelter. Mayor Mike Hurley said the municipality will provide space in an existing city-owned building, but the

exact location has yet to be determined. The province will provide funding, while a third-party non-profit will be in charge of the day-to-day operations, he said. Hurley said he’s confident the shelter will open by the end of June. The city’s overnight warming centre at its operations centre on Beresford Street will remain open until the shelter is ready to take people in, Hurley said.

Project too disruptive for neighbour Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby man says property values and quality of life are under threat in his neighbourhood. Gordon Berndt addressed city council to raise concerns about the redevelopment of the Laurel Streets WorksYard. The City of Burnaby is in the midst of replacing its main public works yard just west of Highway 1.The project’s first phase – a storage building for tools, materials, and salting trucks – is currently under construction. Construction on Phase 2 – a building that will house a vehicle repair garage, management offices, engineering operations, data centre and emergency operations centres – has yet to begin and is scheduled for completion in 2022. Berndt said he and his family own four properties adjacent to the works

tiful views of the North Shore mountains. But with a four-storey building about to rise between his property and the mountains, that view will be

“shamefully taken away,” he said. Berndt said he has already brought his concerns to city staff. “I know that this may be

inevitable, but my input has been ignored by staff and trivialized,” he said. “Is this a good way to treat a good neighbour of over 60 years?” Berndt said he’s wor-

ried about fumes from the paint shop and noise from exhaust fans that will be close to his back deck. The only tangible response from the city was to install “no idling” signs on the property, he said. The Burnaby resident also related some of his neighbours’ concerns with the project. He said trucks coming and going from the Godwin Avenue entrance are both dangerous and a serious nuisance. He asked that the city move the entrance. “I am asking for (you) to seriously look at my concerns and that of my neighbours so that we can once again think of the city as a good neighbour who cares,” Berndt told Burnaby’s mayor and councillors. Mayor Mike Hurley said the city planned to meet with Berndt and his neighbours to address their concerns.

CHILD CARE

School district eyes setting up own child-care centres Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school board could launch into new territory to meet the need for before- and afterschool care at local schools. The district is considering the idea of owning and operating child-care facilities directly and staffing them with education assistants, according to a report presented to the board Tuesday. District staff were tasked in December with looking into the feasibility of expanding not-for-profit before- and after-school care in the district by using existing school space or extra portables. According to the report, 1,746 kids are currently on waitlists to get into such programs at local schools. But the study revealed it isn’t just spaces that are lacking. There are already 885 before- and after-school care spaces in the district, for example, but only 745 kids attending them, according to the report. That’s because child-care providers have a tough time hiring and keeping staff, so some programs aren’t running at capacity, according to secretary-treasurer Rus-

sell Horswill. “We already have challenges with our existing programs.What would happen if we added another bunch to the mix?” he said. One solution outlined in the report is for the district to own, operate and staff child-care programs at schools. It would be a big departure from the district’s current process, which relies on parents in different parts of the city to present their child-care needs to the district and then on non-profit child care providers to run the programs put in place. One big advantage to the district running programs directly would be access to qualified staff, like education assistants. OPTIONS The report outlines six ways – including the district’s current process – that before- and after-school care could be expanded at local schools moving forward. Within the different approaches, space could be found in portables, classrooms or non-enrolling classroom space (like music rooms and libraries) or shared with StrongStart programs that operate during the school day.

If portables are involved, they could be owned by the district or by a non-profit service provider. And the programs could be staffed by outside service providers, district staff (like EAs) or a combination of both. Based on need, the report lists 16 local schools as “sites for potential child care expansion,” but Horswill said the district will take a look at all 41 of its schools before deciding where and how to expand child-care programs. He said the district will

start getting input from existing child-care providers, parent advisory councils, schools, the city, CUPE and the public after spring break. Starting in about June, the district will then create a plan outlining where and how many before- and after-school spaces will be added. Plans will then be drawn up for the installation of new portables or renovations to existing portables and school spaces – a process that will take between eight months and a year, ac-

cording to the report. Parents at a recent meeting said they appreciated the district’s plans to expand child-care at schools but asked whether something couldn’t be done sooner. Horswill told them the district would follow the process outlined in the report but shorter-term solutions might be found and implemented along the way. Meaghan Campbell, who has two young children at Gilmore Community School, said she was hopeful an interim solution might be found. “There is an urgent need, obviously, for more care slots, so we would like to see it expedited, but we do understand that the process takes time,” she told the NOW. School board chair Gary Wong said the report was a “good first step.” “There’s certainly a need, and we’re trying to do what we can to fill the need,” he said. WHAT WOULD IT COST AND WHAT WOULD PARENTS PAY? According to the school district, parents would pay $350 per month for care on school days only (including early dismissal and profes-

sional development days); $400 for school days plus spring break; and $500 for school days, spring break and summer break, according to operating cost estimates in the report. The programs would be staffed with education assistants at a cost to the district of $136,241 annually for school days only, $152,212 for school days and spring break; and $216,096 for school days, spring break and summer break. The report also factored in annual overhead costs of $20,378 for custodial services and building maintenance, and a yearly cost of $10,000 for program supplies and snacks. The estimates are based on a centre with two portables, each staffed with two EAs. One portable would accommodate up to 24 kids in kindergarten and Grade 1; the second would have spots for 30 kids in Grade 2 and older. The capital cost for each portable would be between $449,500 and $500,000. The district will begin public consultation on this and other school-based child-care options outlined in the report after spring break.

Council asked to ban cigarettes that have plastic ﬁlters

Desirée Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

Former Burnaby council candidate Claire Preston is calling for a ban on the sale of cigarettes with plastic filters in the city in an effort to reduce plastic litter. Preston, who presented a delegation at a recent council meeting, said the plastic filter within cigarette butts harms the environment. Discarded butts are also a leading cause of forest fires, she said. “I think that we need to be moving towards a more environmentally sustainable way for humans to partake in the toxins and poisons that they enjoy,” Preston said. Preston mounted an unsuccessful bid for council in 2018, but has since been appointed to the parks, recreation and culture commission and the Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing. As one alternative, Preston proposed allowing cigarettes with organic smoking

material and paper filters, like those found in some cannabis products. She said she is against all forms of prohibition. “This is not me saying, ‘Get rid of all tobacco products,’” Preston said. She said she chose to address council instead of the environment and social planning committee because she felt her plea could be considered controversial. Mayor Mike Hurley said he doubted the city had the power to implement such a sales ban, but said Preston’s proposal would be forwarded to the city’s the environ-

ment committee. In 2017, the City of Vancouver amended its fire bylaw to include a fine of $500 for not properly disposing of smoking materials. Burnaby does not have any similar bylaws. Preston said other cities have taken steps towards banning plastic bags and straws. She said Burnaby could step up and lead the way in reducing plastic litter from cigarettes. Preston said she plans to repeat her presentation in front of the environment committee soon.

Police increase patrols around Burnaby mosques Cornelia Naylor

Burnaby RCMP has stepped up its presence at local mosques after a mass shooting at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand last Friday. Fifty people were killed and dozens injured in the city when one or more gunmen attacked the two mosques during Friday prayers.

After reports of the massacre Friday, RCMP stepped up patrols at the four mosques in and around Burnaby, according to Burnaby RCMP. “It’s our bike unit that’s taken that on,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar told the NOW. The move is meant to address any concerns from mosque-goers and others in the community. “We want to make sure that everybody, especially at

this time the Muslim community, feels safe and knows that we’re addressing any safety or security concerns, being present, being visible for them,” Panesar said. Anyone with concerns is encouraged to talk to the RCMP members, Panesar said. “We’ll continue to be present and increase patrols in those areas,” she said.

City now Burnaby creating no-parking zone to stop showdowns Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby will install “no parking” signs on Brentlawn Avenue in an attempt to end head-to-head showdowns between buses. Major construction at Brentwood Town Centre has drawn some 700 workers to the area every weekday, many of whom park on the surrounding residential streets, according staff. Vehicles parked on both sides of Brentlawn have choked it down to one travel lane often leading TransLink bus drivers along

Route 134 to meet head-on in the middle of the block. “If one bus is approaching from Beta and another one is approaching from the Fairlawn side, they can’t see each other because of the length of the block, and there’s a little bit of grade difference,” Burnaby’s director of engineering Doug Louie told the city’s public safety committee in November. When that happens, a transit supervisor needs to be called in to guide a bus backward while passengers either wait on board or get off and find another way to

their destination. The city previously resolved to limit parking on the street to three hours a day, but residents complained and the plan was shelved. On Monday, city council unanimously authorized city staff to designate the street in front of 4632 and 4636 Brentlawn Dr. as a no parking zone. Staff hope the parking ban will make enough space for buses and trucks to pass each other. Coun. Pietro Calendino, former chair of the public safety committee, said he hopes the solution is tem-

porary and the issue can be solved once construction on the new Brentwood shop-

ping centre is complete or when workers are allowed to park in the underground

parking. “For the moment, this is the best solution,” he said.

Man caught with fake gun Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 47-year-old Vancouver man is facing charges after being caught with a replica handgun at a Burnaby mall Monday afternoon. Metrotown mall security called police just before 4 p.m. to report a man with a gun in a backpack, accord-

ing to Burnaby RCMP. The call sparked a “significant” police response, police said. By 4:05 p.m., Mounties had found the man in a stairwell near the Real Canadian Superstore. He was arrested without incident carrying a “very realistic pellet gun,” according to police.

The man, who is known to police, according to Burnaby RCMP, now faces one charge of carrying a concealed weapon and one charge of breaking a probation order. He had been under conditions not to carry imitation firearms, police said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Bigger basements must come with guarantees

Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley has his task force on housing up and running, with the group meeting recently and a round of online public input received. And not a moment too soon. The group PadMapper released its latest Canadian rental report and the numbers continue to look dire for people looking for affordable housing in our city. Burnaby ranked as the third-most expensive rental market in the nation last month.

The price of one bedrooms in Burnaby is up 11 per cent since this time last year.There is no way people’s wages are keeping up with this kind of a jump. Of course, the numbers should be taken with a grain of salt. A quick review reveals there are approximately 305 Burnaby rental listings, compared with 1,300 in Vancouver. The lower the number, the easier it is for a wild price fluctuation. But the third-place ranking in Canada is consistent with the

month-by-month PadMapper numbers, which Burnaby has remained one of the worst rental markets in the entire nation. When people discuss housing solutions, the topic of supply always comes up. Some people, such as developers, will say we need to increase the supply of rental units to solve the problem. That makes sense on the surface, but when you look deeper it’s too simplistic. If we just allow the construction of more high-priced condo units, that doesn’t

really help regular folks. We need a larger supply of affordable rental housing, which means putting more effort into the construction of non-market rentals. Burnaby council members argued last week about one idea to boost the supply of rental housing. It involves a bylaw that would allow homeowners and new home builders to have more below-ground floor space. Current zoning restricts a home’s gross floor area (based on lot size) and the portion of that area that can

be built above ground.This leads many home builders to maximize the aboveground floor area, leaving little to no gross floor area left over to build underground.The change would retain the existing aboveground restriction but essentially eliminate the gross floor-area limits. Cellars could then be built as large as the main floor of the home. The hope is people will expand their basements to add secondary suites. But Coun. Colleen Jor-

dan isn’t buying it. She says the proposed bylaw doesn’t make it a requirement for that space to be a secondary suite. She thinks there’s an ulterior motive. “The bylaw is not about the suite … never has been,” Jordan said. “It’s just to allow bigger basements.” It’s a troubling allegation, but one that could be rooted in reality.We urge the rest of council to put in guarantees.This shouldn’t be about boosting home values.We need real solutions to the rental crisis.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

NDP policies are slowing economy

For the first time since it took power in 2017, the BC NDP government can see economic storm clouds gathering. And, ironically, the predicted slowdown is largely attributed to its new taxation measures. Two financial institutions released economic analyses that zeroed in on B.C.’s economy, with both projecting it will slow down significantly due to the cooling of the province’s real estate market. Central 1 Credit Union concluded the province’s economy will have three years of weak growth after several years of robust annual growth of more than three-per-cent GDP. Its deputy chief economist, BryanYu, said “economic growth is being held hostage by the housing market slump, which is deeper than previously forecast.” As a result, Central 1 is now forecasting the provincial economy will grow by just 2.2 per cent in the coming year, then 2.4 per cent in 2020 and 2.8 per cent in 2021. TD Economics had a more pessimistic assessment, projecting B.C.’s economic growth to be just 1.4 per cent this year and two per cent next year. Again, the chief villain is the slumping real estate sector. “B.C.’s deepening housing market slowdown is likely to put a larger damper on growth this year,” it said. “The province’s housing market has been the most hard-hit by the implementation of tighter rules, rising interest rates and B.C. government policy measures.”

To be sure, neither of these projected scenarios constitute being anything close to a recession, but this may spell bad news for the government’s three-year fiscal plan.The lower the economic growth, the fewer tax dollars are available.That plan projects an increase of almost $4.5 billion in tax revenue over that period. What’s disappointing is that measures such as the speculation tax, the increase in the foreign buyers tax and the higher tax on high-end homes were supposed to make housing more affordable. Instead, while house prices have dropped, they haven’t dropped to an affordable level. So it now looks like the government’s housing policies are not only not meeting the affordability targets, but are having the biggest impact at slowing down the provincial economy This might not come back to haunt the NDP. Both financial institutions are predicting employment levels will remain high with the government’s infrastructure program considered to be providing a cushion to any slowdown. As well, the BC Liberals continue to struggle to find their identity as an Opposition party and party leader AndrewWilkinson has had a bad run of foot-in-mouthitis in recent days. But after experiencing relatively sunny days during their first 20 months in office, things may be about to get a little darker for the NDP government.

Dogs take over the pool The smell of wet dog was inescapable at CG Brown pool during the third annual “Pool Puppies” event. On the last day before the pool was scheduled to be drained for the summer, dogs were invited to take over the facility. Hundreds of dogs of all sizes showed up, some in lifejackets. “Not all dogs are natural swimmers; certain breeds can’t,” event coordinator Glen Cheetham said.The event featured pool relay races, agility and flyball demonstrations, prizes and a “poop zone,” a 10’ x 10’ patch of turf, complete with white picket fence and plastic fire hydrant.

A bigger art gallery more needed than ice rinks

Editor: Re: Construction on South Burnaby ice rinks to begin in June, NOW, March 14 It is with much dismay that I read in today’s Burnaby NOW that the City of Burnaby will pump another load of money into yet another ice rink. All the while, the city’s visual arts collection languishes in storage in an outdated mansion that doubles as an art gallery. The Burnaby Arts Council has been stressing the need for 50-odd years that the city enter the 20th century in terms of a new art gallery and the 20th century came and went without a new art gallery facility. It is now the 21st century, and we are almost 20 years into it, and we see city council continue to build sports facilities and continue to ignore the visual arts and our fine art collection. When will this end? Darcy Olson, Burnaby

It’s too hard for people to find a family doctor Editor: As if the housing situation isn’t bad enough, just try to find a family doctor these days. My cardiologist said I needed one, and he gave me a list of four doctors who are accepting new patients. I tried them and such was not the case with any of them. My local walk-in clinic won’t accept me either because I had a complaint about them. I thought that my situation was unique until I heard that a friend of mine has been barred

from attending the hospital because he had a complaint about a dirty feeding tube for his wife as a patient. When I see security guards patrolling the halls at Burnaby General Hospital and have seen complainers being evicted, I see a system totally under the control of the doctors. So far at least, I have no family doctor and so don’t feel that I have much to lose by complaining about them. I’m sure there are many stories out there of dictatorial practices followed by doctors at hospitals and health care clinics. But any citizen with no family doctor at their nearest medical clinic should have the right to complain long and loud about it. Otherwise, we have health care only for those able to pay for it.

Speculation tax form was easy to fill out Editor: Gosh, what was all the fuss about? Listening to BC Liberal MLAs (and even a Green), I anticipated giving up an evening to complete the exemption form for the new speculation and vacancy tax. One commentator said it was going to be 14 pages long. Another said it would take at least 25 minutes to fill in. I received the notice in the mail today. It was straightforward to understand and took me two minutes to complete the online form. If this initiative adds more homes to the rental market or collects some revenue from nonresident owners to be used for more housing, it was worth two minutes of my time. Kim Manning

Convicted fraudster caught again

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A convicted Burnaby fraudster accused of bringing a local company to the brink of ruin by defrauding it of hundreds of thousands of dollars has been found guilty of stealing just $147. Arthur Wong was hired in 2010 to manage the books at Phoenix Media Direct Inc., a successful supplier of large-format printers and paper, according to provincial court documents. In December 2011, one of the co-founders, Steve Carter, said he got a call from American Express demanding a $64,000 payment on an overdue account. That sparked an internal audit that revealed about $570,000 in illegitimate expense claims. A subsequent RCMP investigation whittled that sum down to about $200,000. Last week, however, B.C. Provincial Court Judge Nancy Phillips ruled the prosecution had not proven

followed them or not. He relied on an incomplete vendors list and an informal audit by a person who was not at arm’s length from (Phoenix) and whose professional skills may have been out of date or inadequate. For reasons which were not always clear, accounting staff from both the Canadian and U.S. operations were not apparently interviewed or called to testify.” Phillips also noted concerns with Carter’s credibility. “All of these things leave the Court with a doubt as to what Mr.Wong’s role was in relation to the allegations before the Court,” Phillips said. She found Wong guilty of one count of fraud in relation to the $147 dance contest payment. Three years ago, he was sentenced to two-and-ahalf-years in jail for defrauding a North Vancouver couple’s business of nearly $400,000. He is also currently on trial in Surrey for fraud and theft over $5,000.

City to fund upgrades to local RCMP processing facility Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby city council has agreed to spend $700,000 to upgrade a space local Mounties use to process deadly street drugs. Before the fentanyl crisis began, local officers weighed, logged, tested and packaged seized drugs on tables and benches in a space in the exhibit room before sending samples to a Health Canada lab for further testing, according to Burnaby RCMP Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh. With the rise of illicit fentanyl and even deadlier carfentanil, she said most detachments have gotten fume hoods, eyewash stations and ion scanners to

protect officers handling the drugs from exposure. “For any sort of fentanyl spill, I mean, it’s deadly,” Burleigh said. “The fume hood allows us a safe place to take these drugs that are on a street level and package them up in such a way that they’re not dangerous.” In Burnaby, the equipment has been housed in a repurposed room off the detachment’s underground parking garage. The problem with that set-up is that it isn’t in a self-contained space. “The bad guys don’t necessarily package the drugs in such a way that they’re safe to handle,” Burleigh said, “so, when we take them and transport them and bring them to the office, there’s

the risk that the packaging will fail.We can’t contain that failure right now.” The new facility will be a sealed area with its own HVAC system. “If something happens, it seals down; it’s locked down,” Burleigh said. Burleigh said the Chilliwack detachment had to be shut down and some staff taken to hospital during one incident involving airborne contamination while she was working there. A feasibility study looked into a number of options for the new so-called “high-potency drug processing facility.” The project approved by council is an interior renovation to the secured underground parkade.

CRIME

Trio caught target shooting at Burnaby park Three people in their late 20s were arrested this month after they allegedly used a Burnaby park for target practice. Police responded to a report of “loud bangs” heard at Confederation Park in North Burnaby at about 8:40 p.m. on March 6, according to a Burnaby RCMP press release. Upon arrival, officers found three people who appeared to have been drinking beer and target-shooting with a hunting rifle. Police seized a Norinco M305 semi-automatic rifle and ammunition. Two men, aged 28 and 29, and one woman, 28, were taken into custody. Police dogs searched the

park, but no injured people or animals were found, according to the release. None of the people ar-

rested was known to police. They each face a charge of careless use of a firearm.

‘It is a voice for people who are oppressed’ Burnaby hip hop artist and filmmaker working on doc project Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Whatever you do, just don’t tell Diana Hellson to calm down. She wasn’t calm back in her schooldays in Southern Alberta in the 1990s when the other kids chucked rocks at her. She wasn’t calm when she was in Grade 7 and got jumped at a bus stop by four white boys while onlookers did nothing to help and her school principal said it wasn’t his problem. She wasn’t calm growing up Indigenous when she had to attend school with kids whose perceptions of what “Indigenous” meant were rooted in stereotypes of long-haired, drunken, homeless people. She wasn’t calm when she figured out her culture had been reduced to a handful of paragraphs in a school textbook: “Here’s one page about Indians, and they used the whole buffalo, hunters gatherers, blah blah blah. Now let’s talk about Japan for seven months.” She wasn’t calm when she decided enough was enough. Hellson, who is of mixed Siksika,West Indian and Celtic heritage, was in Grade 7 when she took matters into her own hands and told her social studies teacher she was going to make a presentation to the class. She came to school armed with a Peter Pan DVD, bannock and a CD from Canadian Indigenous hip hoppers Team Rezoffi-

cial. She showed the DVD and pointed out the kind of stereotypes it perpetuated about Indigenous people. After her presentation, she shared the bannock, played a Rezofficial song from their album The Foundation and led the class in reflecting on what they’d learned and heard. “It was very important for me, because I was beginning to see how insidious the racism was at that age,” she said. She worked to show her peers positive examples of Indigenous people - Michelle Thrush, Buffy SainteMarie,Tantoo Cardinal – to combat the still pervasive stereotypes. She repeated the presentation in Grade 8, and again in Grade 9, fighting against what she calls the “normalization and casualization” of racism by the mass media. “Even now, in 2019, it’s still so important to me,” she says. “If no one’s going to do it, I’ll friggin’ do it. I’ll do it! I don’t trust that there might be somebody else doing what needs to be done.” Hellson, who now lives in Burnaby, has just earned a $20,000 grant from the TELUS STORYHIVE program to help her in that quest – in the form of a short documentary called The Foundation: Indigenous Hip Hop in Canada.The documentary will look at two questions:What is Indigenous hip hop, and why are so many Indigenous youth attracted to hip hop culture? “There are so many sim-

She uses her art, in all its forms, to give voice to the many challenges faced by people who are “othered” by society, particularly in this era of Trumpian politics. “They’ve been very empowered, people who have bigoted, hateful views, and they feel very justified right now, and that’s a terrifying

thing,” Hellson says. “It’s a very frustrating time right now to be Indigenous, to be black, to be a woman; it’s like, why are we still having these conversations?” Adding to her rage is the repeated message from society that she’s somehow expected to be calm about it all. “Be perfectly calm, be peachy about it, be calm, be happy; don’t be too angry about it,” Hellson says with a sigh. “There’s a lot of things that I use my mediums to kind of attack as a subject” – like a rap verse

Communitynow Finished documentary set to air on TV in the fall Continued from page 13 when she balked at going to school because she was so isolated and alone. “My mom said, ‘You have to do something,’ so she put me into arts programs all the time,” Hellson says – film programs with Women in Media Foundation and CBC, music programs through Music Centre Canada, a Quickdraw Animation Society program for Indigenous youth. All of those experiences gave her the skills she’s now using in her music and her film projects. Besides her documentary, she’s also working on a STORYHIVE-funded music video, Red Man, with Indigenous hip hop artist Hope. “I love doing projects that allow me to give information, inadvertently or indirectly, about an oppressed people,” she says. The idea to explore Indigenous hip hop culture began after she saw her friend JB the First Lady, a hip hop/spoken word artist, give a presentation on the similarities between Indigenous and hip hop cultures.

“I’ve always wanted to do a documentary, and I’m passionate about Indigenous hip hop,” Hellson says. “This gives me the opportunity to share stories of what it’s like to be Indigenous, to grow up Indigenous, but that’s not all the focus. It’s about the hip hop, but it’s also about what’s behind the hip hop.” She wants the documentary to help open people’s eyes to racism, but not in such a way that it will immediately put its audience on the defensive. “When people are told things directly, no matter how accurate or informative it is, they just don’t want to hear it, so they’ll deflect it or deny it or ignore it or become kind of angry,” Hellson says, noting the documentary will focus on personal stories. “In this way, we can teach them about our upbringing in a way that’s gentle.They’ll have an opportunity to hear the stories, without their barriers up. … “I don’t want anybody to be mad when they’re watching. I want them to be un-

derstanding. I want epiphanies to happen.” She’s lined up a roster of artists to interview – including Drezus, formerly of Team Rezofficial, who has remained a guiding influence on Hellson’s career and who has become a friend. All of the artists involved, and all of the crew, are Indigenous – encompassing, all told, about 20 Indigenous artists.

The fact that funding for the new documentary is coming from STORYHIVE’s first ever Indigenous Storyteller Edition – meaning that all the teams are Indigenous-led – is important to Hellson.Too often, she says, it ends up that Indigenous stories are told by people who aren’t Indigenous – so that even when Indigenous voices are being heard, they’re being fil-

tered through a non-Indigenous lens. “They take the things we say, construe it, deflect it, and our narrative gets lost,” she says. “The narrative has continuously been controlled by white directors and writers.This project allows us to control our own narrative, which is a rarity for us in large media.” Also important to Hellson is giving voice to the fe-

male experience – she has a 50-50 male-female split for her crew and cast. If anything, she says, she’ll err on the side of getting more female voices into the film than male. “My quiet rebellion of having more females to males in a hip hop documentary is very close to me,” she says. “A lot of hip hop documentaries completely forget to talk about women, and that pisses me off.” Hellson can already see this short documentary becoming a larger project in the future – in fact, she and JB the First Lady have already talked about the possibility of a full-length documentary on the subject. For now, though, she’s intent on producing a clean and focused short documentary that, once it airs on TELUS Optik TV in the fall, will help people understand her world, even just a little better. “I feel it’s very, very much necessary that I need to contribute somehow,” she says. “Otherwise I’m just going to go crazy.”

kgawley@burnaby.com

Eight months ago, Mike Hurley and Joe Keithley were rivals. They were both running to unseat Derek Corrigan as mayor of Burnaby before Keithley dropped out, endorsed Hurley for mayor and opted to run for councillor instead. Now the two men are council colleagues and bandmates. Life comes at you fast. Keithley, frontman of legendary punk band D.O.A. and now a Green Party councillor, revealed at a Monday council meeting that he and Hurley, Burn-

aby’s independent mayor, were booked to play a Burnaby Arts Council event in June. He described their band as “yet unnamed and quite unformed and unrehearsed” but said he was looking forward to playing a set with Hurley at a June 8 Live at the Gallery event at Deer Lake Gallery. Keithley’s announcement was a surprise to many in council chambers, Hurley included. The mayor said he and Keithley had previously discussed playing music together, but he was unaware he had been booked for the arts council event. “He signed me up for it,”

Hurley told the NOW the next day. “Him and I had discussed doing some things together, but I hadn't heard that.” Hurley, a guitar player and lifelong musician originally from Northern Ireland, said he has played nearly every type of music except punk. Nevertheless, he said he’s looking forward to rehearsing with Keithley and playing the show in June. More gigs could follow for local fundraisers and events, he said. “Joe's a lot of fun, so it will be a fun thing to do,” he said.

Communitynow Cellphones shouldn’t be banned in classrooms Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

I was trying to corral my kids into the car for school when I called out to my tween, “Leave your phone at home, please. No need to bring it to school,” to which she cooly replied, “I need it for class, mom; the teacher lets us use them for research.” True or not, it felt as though my hands were tied. I didn’t like the idea of her bringing a device, but I didn’t want her to fall behind in the classroom as a result. According to Canadian Press, Ontario will be officially announcing a cellphone ban in all public school classrooms – starting in the 2019-20 school year – making it the first province in Canada to prohibit the use of cellphones during school time. Many wonder if B.C. should follow suit.

Those for the new policy suggest the ban will have a positive impact on the classroom, stating the time spent behind desks should be focused solely on learning important instructional subjects such as reading, math and writing. Those opposed believe cellphone use should be incorporated into the classroom lessons, teaching students important life skills and responsible use, as opposed to enforcing an allout ban. I agree screen time has become an epidemic in today’s society, but I also believe screens are not something we can entirely avoid. As a self-employed writer, editor and marketing consultant, my work days are spent almost entirely relying on screen time. From spreadsheets to Google docs to messaging apps to photo editing programs, my job wouldn’t exist without the technology that happens to also put a thorn in my side when it comes to monitor-

ing the time spent on the same devices by my tween. Many schools spend the year raising funds to fill computer labs with muchneeded screens so students can learn from technology, so a ban on bringing those same screens from home, which could potentially serve the same purpose, seems contradictory. I believe there’s such a thing as bad screen time (time-wasting video games and self-esteem-blowing social media platforms), but there’s also good screen time, which allows students to access an unlimited catalogue of research resources in the palm of their hands. I say stop trying to take the devices away entirely and start teaching self-regulation and responsible use instead – in the real world, devices aren’t going away anytime soon.

Arts & Entertainment now ON TV

Teen’s music career gets national TV launch Burnaby’s own Cassiøpeia finds success on popular music competition show The Launch Desiree Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

A local teen has gone from watching the hit TV show The Launch on her recliner in Burnaby to winning the competition and setting a music career in motion. Cassiøpeia was the winner of the first episode of CTV’s second season of The Launch, which aired back in late January, and was chosen to release Better - a song written by songwriter and lead vocalist for OneRepub-

lic, Ryan Tedder. How the show works is five artists from across Canada audition for show creator Scott Borchetta, singer Marie-Mai and a guest mentor each week. Of those original five artists, two singers are chosen to compete and record an original song. Ultimately, the mentors will decide on one artist to “launch.” “I went in there and put everything that I had into the audition room and showed them who I was as an artist,” said Cassiøpeia, who has since signed with

Borchetta’s label, Big Machine Records. Cassiøpeia was born in Vancouver but spent the majority of her life living in Burnaby. She began writing her own songs at just nine years old for her church choir. She also plays five instruments and says her music taste ranges from “Bach to The Beatles.” She attributes her “aha!” moment in music to listening to Taylor Swift’s Red album, produced by Borchetta, when she was 10. “That was the moment where I knew I wanted to do music for the rest of my life,” she said. She had that same feeling when she performed in person for Borchetta on the show. Cassiøpeia has smashed through barriers by becoming the youngest female artist to be launched and is the only artist to be chosen from Vancouver. Cassiøpeia’s mother Dezarae (the family didn’t want to use their full name for privacy reasons) said she raised her children to work hard, adding that Cassiøpeia would babysit and walk dogs in order to make enough money to release her own music on Spotify. “Her work ethic is crazy,” Dezarae said. Cassiøpeia says her life has changed significantly since winning The Launch=. She recalls a time she went to a local salon to touch-up her pink locks, but was told they had run out

She says that besides the fact that pink is her favourite colour, she also dyed her hair because she’s a strong advocate for breast

cancer and anti-bullying. Now that she’s signed with a major label, she’s hit the ground running and is working on writing songs

for an EP album and hopes to tour and meet more of her fans, who she refers to as her “little stars.”

Communitynow Burnaby woman follows dream to fashion school

Patricia Te fashion grad

At the same time, she had started working retail part-time and found herself surrounded by fashion and style – and discovering a new form of expression in fashion. “At the time, fashion was just a playful part of my life, and I had no idea how important of a role it would actually play,” she said. “My personal realization that part of my own internal confidence stemmed from the clothing I was choosing to wear was pretty eye-open-

ing and pushed me to pursue a new chapter.” From there, she started to try out designing. She doodled, enrolled in a beginners sewing class, researched designers and their techniques. In the end, she stopped her science studies and got accepted to the Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s fashion design and technology program at the Wilson School of Design. Now, she’s poised to show the world where her studies have led her. “To Me is a spirit, not a fashion brand offering a total look; rather, one that can enhance the beauty of a woman who wears it,” her press release said. Te and other graduates will show their work in multiple presentations on Thursday, April 18: at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Shows take place at the Wilson School of Design at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, on the fourth floor at 5600 Kwantlen St. in Richmond. Tickets for the show are $25, available through www.event brite.ca (or use a direct link at www.tinyurl.com/Wilson SchoolGradShow2019). – Julie MacLellan

It’s a bit of a detour from medicine to fashion – but it’s a road Patricia Te is glad she travelled. The Burnaby fashion designer is showing her work in the upcoming Wilson School of Design 2019 grad fashion show on April 18. She describes her collection,To Me, as a narrative that mirrors her own upbringing: “one that features a strong female lead.” Te’s work focuses on ideas of femininity and modesty. In a press release,Te notes that she found a lack of self-expression in what she calls the “modest fashion” market – and that drove her to find a harmony between “the quiet confidence of femininity and the modest esthetic,” she said. “Covering up doesn’t have to equate to avoiding trends,”Te’s press release said. Te was born in Manila, Philippines and moved to Canada with her family in 2002. Her parents chose to move to Burnaby, close to her grandparents, and Te went to school in Burnaby, first at Our Lady of Mercy and then Saint Thomas More Collegiate. After high school, she went to UBC with the goal of be-

Communitynow Simon Fraser University broke ground Tuesday as construction begins on its stadium project on Burnaby Mountain. This is a joint initiative by SFU and Simon Fraser Student Society that is estimated to be completed in the summer of 2020. SFU students have made a $10-million contribution to the facility. The stadium will provide student-athletes with a permanent outdoor home. For the first time in the university’s history, SFU sports teams will play in a home stadium on campus. The stadium will become the permanent home to Canada’s NCAA teams.

It will feature seating for approximately 1,800, a full roof, washroom facilities and a media centre. In future phases, the stadium project could expand to include other amenities, such as a field house with team locker rooms. As a part of the agreement, the University will provide any additional funding necessary to complete the first phase of the project. SFU will manage the project and Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) will contribute annually to the University from 20192030 through a special student levy.

Enjoy classical music in concert Love classical music? The Simon Fraser University Concert Orchestra is holding its spring concert at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on Sunday, March 31. The orchestra is presenting Cadenza Extravaganza, a concert that will include classics from Mozart and Tchaikovsky as well as modern pieces by Joe Hisaishi and more. The concert will feature members in a variety of solos. “There’s always been an underlying aptitude for our musicians to strive for the best, so it’s only natural that we highlight the monumental feats of a few of our talented members with an unforgettable evening of music,” said Dan Reyes, co-president of the orchestra, in a press release. The orchestra was created in 2008 by a small group of classically trained musicians at the university

when they noticed a lack of musical groups on campus at the time. Now it has upwards of 60 members and is the only student-run orchestra in the region.

There’s always been an underlying aptitude for our musicians to strive for the best…

The concert starts at 7 p.m. in the Shadbolt’s James Cowan Theatre. Tickets are $15 regular, or $10 for students, seniors and children, available through tickets.shadbolt centre.com or 604-2053000.

The organization’s North House, at 4908 Hastings St., is hosting a new art exhibition for the month of April featuring paintings by artist Carolyn Trotter. An open house and meetthe-artist event is set for Friday, April 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. A press release about the event notes that Trotter is an artist, breast cancer survivor and meditation advocate. The collection of paintings on display has been inspired by her travels to India, Bali and Mexico and her desire to create art to support healing. “Painting is both a healing process for her and an offering of healing to others,” the release says. “Her work captures the energy and intrinsic flow of nature by combining sacred geometry (mandala) with free-flowing floral and leaf elements as symbols of

New record for organ donations There were 28 heart transplants in 2018 A whopping 502 British Columbians received a transplant in 2018, setting a new record for the total number of transplants in a calendar year. With 122 deceased donors in 2018, B.C. exceeded by one the record pace of 2017, translating into a donor rate of 24.9 per million people, an increase of 71 per cent compared to five years ago. “I’m proud to celebrate the selfless act of donation from so many British Columbians,” said Health Minister Adrian Dix, in a news release. “This record number of transplants is a testament to the spirit of our residents, who gave the greatest gift of all last year – the chance at a new life for others.” A new kidney transplant milestone was also reached last year with 339 transplants, thanks to renewed efforts on kidney donors, according to a news release.

Corey Nislow was one of those living kidney donors. The UBC professor donated to a complete stranger in 2018. Four months later, he ran a marathon.

This record number of transplants is a testament to the spirit of our residents…

“Donating a kidney has had a very positive impact on my quality of life, from an emotional point of view,” Nislow said. “It’s frankly something I am very proud to have done, it makes me feel good.” There were also 28 heart transplants in 2018 (tying the record set in 2016), 50 lung transplants and 77 liver

transplants. “I am so grateful for the generosity of not one, but two families who have had the strength to say yes to organ donation in the midst of tragedy,” says Katie Welsh, Canada’s first pediatric heart-transplant recipient in 1987. She underwent her second heart transplant at St. Paul’s Hospital last year. “I am a mom, wife, daughter, sister and friend because of them.” There were 512 hospital referrals to the 24/7 BC Transplant clinical referral line in 2018, nearly triple the numbers from five years ago. There are currently more than 1.35 million British Columbians who have registered their wishes to be an organ donor. As of Jan. 1, 669 people are still waiting for an organ transplant in B.C.

SWIMMING

Burnaby’s Lau eager to test quick NCAA pools

Former Mantas swimmer to swim in new circles Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

When first put in the pool, Burnaby’s Octavia Lau wasn’t keen.To be frank, she downright disliked it. It was her older brother’s thing, and she just wasn’t enjoying the time submerged in the water. But now when she emerges from a practice and looks to the future, the teen is glad her parents made her take the plunge. The sport is leading Lau to the next big challenge, which is as a student-athlete at the University of Michigan. “I actually highly disliked it when I was young, I was like five years old and I just kind of got into it because of my older brother (Xavier),” she recalls. “Whatever he was put in, I was put in as well. I at first didn’t like it, but I gradually started to get some results and I started falling in love when I was six or seven.” Those results were just the tip of the iceberg, as Lau charted a course nationally and internationally – including last year as a member of the Canadian junior swim team. Getting to dip her toes in international meets only stoked her thirst to try the NCAA waters. The Hyack Swim Club member has shown through various meets that new frontiers are nothing to worry about. At the Ontario junior international meet last December, she registered the top Canadian time in the 400-metre freestyle, only bettered by three top British swimmers. At the same meet, she won the 1500m free and scored silver in the 800m free, posting a faster second half than the winner. The New West Secondary student has thrived over the past six months, building on club records and her own national standing. In the Canadian long course rankings, Lau sits first in the 400-, 800- and 1500m free events. She holds the same three positions in the short course versions as well, with a three-day meet in Toronto last December where she nailed her best times. It’s a long way from when she finally caught the swimming bug, hitting the water with the Burnaby Barricudas and then the Burnaby Mountain Mantas summer clubs. “I started seeing results, placing on the podium or personal best times and that was a lot of fun to see. As I progressed and swam older, I started making national teams or swimming world-wide basically.” It carried her to Fiji and Israel last summer as part of the Canadian junior team.

ALL CALM ON DECK: Burnaby’s Octavia Lau has set a host of club records and spent last summer as a member of the Canadian junior swim team. Now, the New Westminster Secondary student is looking to a future as a student-athlete at the University of Michigan. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER She began by placing ninth in the 800m free at the Junior Pan Pacific championships in Fiji, then competed in the 7.5-kilometre 16-17 women’s open water event World Junior championships in Israel. This year, she was a recipient of a Victor Davis Memorial Award, including a $1,500 bursary, which recognizes her accomplishments and impact in the pool. As her Hyack Swim Club coach sees it, Lau has an ability to focus on exactly what she needs to get done in each race. “She’s always been ranked highly (in Canada) in all her events, either at the top or top four.When you’re in that position of always being in the top, the outcome of the race is different,” noted Mark Bottrill. “You are expecting to win. As you get older and wiser, you go from just training to training to win. She has to take that next step, and

that’s what (coaches at Michigan) will be working on.” With a regimen that sees her hitting the pool for 24 hours a week, 48 weeks of the year, her dedication is a plus. It’s going to be helpful as she shifts to a different world, with new coaches, new teammates and new challenges as a freshman in the NCAA. “(A scholarship) is like such a big help for my family, and it’s been such a dream to swim down in the States, where I’m going,” she says. “It’s been such a wild ride, with the help of the school and my family, and, hopefully, I’ll have a real good four years down there.” She gives a lot of the credit to her coaches, Hyacks’ Andrew Lennstrom and Bottrill, on guiding her onto this new path. “They really pushed me to train harder, to race harder. ... I just thank my coaches

(Bottrill and Lennstrom) and both of them have been such a big help, not only with my swimming, but my private life as well.” Bottrill, who has seen a lot of great swimmers over 31 years of coaching, anticipates the challenges of the NCAA, where she is joining the No. 2-ranked program in the nation, will not dissuade Lau from her goals. “She likes to race and the NCAA programs have far more dual matches that Canadian universities.There’ll be more opportunities to compete.There’s going to be adversity but she’s not one to shy away (from it),” Bottrill says. That’s part of the excitement she’s eager to embrace, Lau says. “It’s always a big challenge, but I’m up for it. It’s like, juggling school and swimming have been hard, but I’ll make do.”

Chiefs head to major midget semiﬁnals hungry Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The Vancouver Northeast Chiefs left nothing open to chance this past weekend, launching the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League playoffs like an Elias Pettersson howitzer. Now, they hope that recipe can be repeated as they journey to Prince George to play the league’s

No. 2 squad, the Cariboo Cougars, in the best-of-three semifinal. After defeating the Vancouver Northwest Hawks with back-toback 3-2 wins, the Chiefs feel both tested and pumped for the next challenge. The Northeast side, which draws players from east Burnaby, New West, the Tri-Cities and Ridge Meadows, enters the series as slight underdogs, having fin-

ished third overall during the 40game regular season. “It’s a good, even matchup, with both teams having similar identities,” said Chiefs coach Jeff Urekar. “We both have good depth, are hardworking and skate the game well.The ice (sheet in Prince George) is a bit wider so there’s more room for creativity, and we have to use that to our advantage and capitalize on our scoring

chances.” To get past the Cougars, who finished just two points ahead of the Chiefs in the battle for second place, the Northeasterners will have to continue with their sharp defensive shutdown work, which was led this past week by Burnaby netminder Logan Terness. The 16-year-old faced 53 Hawks shots over the two games and was rock-solid, getting stellar

support from his defence. A pair of quick goals from captain Dante Ballarin, the first just 21 seconds into the game, put the hosts ahead 2-0 on Friday in Game 1. Burnaby’s Dante Berrettoni tallied the eventual game winner. It was a similar result in Game 2, where two fast goals gave the Chiefs a lead they could protect, thanks to Terness.

Bulldogs cart off PC banner Building on a season that saw them post the secondbest record in their division, the Burnaby Bulldogs continued the chase right down to a Pacific Coast Hockey Association GVC Flight 2 title last week. In a four-way battle, the Bulldogs emerged as atom A champions, clinching a 3-2 victory over the North Shore Winter Club. Burnaby built up a 2-0 lead off goals by Richard Frieman and Lucas Lakovic, then defended against a Winter Club rally. After North Shore cut the deficit to 2-1, Alexander Szabo potted what proved to be the winner, before a late tally made it close. In the Final Four series, the Bulldogs had knocked off Hollyburn 6-2 and fell 3-2 to the Burnaby Winter Club. But each team entered their final game with a 1-1 record, putting the onus on a strong result.

Hollyburn’s win over BWC clinched the banner for the Bulldogs. It was the second banner of the season for the squad, as they also captured the Presidents league title, going 15-4-1 during the regular season. The team, coached by Ken Guthrie and Connor Beemish, includes Niko Brum, Luca DiLullo, Richard Freiman, Elisha Jan, Carsen Johnson, Carter Kazuta,Vlad King, Lucas Lakovic, Nicolo Mauro, Joel Paladino, Logan Piwko, Koichi Sakamato, Alexander Szabo, Blake Tagulao, Krishen Uppal, Zeyan Walji and Brandon Wong.

WIGGINS, Walter George (Wally) On March 5, 2019 Wally- grandpa and friend passed away peacefully (at age of 90) at Royal Columbian Hospital, New Westminster. Wally was born in Dagenham, England on December 29, 1928. He immigrated to Canada in 1958 where he secured work in BC with the New Westminster Parks & Recreation Department until his retirement in 1990. He enjoyed sports such as tennis and soccer. He loved children and volunteered at the Armstrong Elementary School Library where he was fondly referred to as the “Book Doctor”. He spent many years coaching children’s soccer and attended many of his grandchildren’s sporting events. He was an organized man of integrity, honesty and accuracy. He exercised his outstanding memory by solving crossword puzzles, reading volumes and memorizing peoples’ names. He grew up on Classical music, loved to attend symphonic concerts. He memorized many works and knew when the orchestra made mistakes. Wally will be greatly missed by relatives in England, friends, and by Doreen and her children, Eric (Laura); Lita and grandchildren Calista, Eamon, Marina and Haley.

Praise for George Derby Centre In Praise of the George Derby Centre by William Jenkins of Burnaby, BC. My wife, Claire Jenkins, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2006 and Alzheimer’s in 2014. Both diseases progressed to the point where I could not manage her care at home even with significant assistance from contract nurses and Fraser Health home services. On February 22nd, 2017, she was admitted to the George Derby Centre for long term care in Burnaby (GDC). I attended Claire at the GDC daily except for one break in the summer of 2018. I was there from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. every day from mid-August 2018 until she died peacefully on March 13th, 2019, so I was able to observe the workings closely. For the two years that she lived at GDC, Claire received excellent care and I want to acknowledge this and thank the hundred or so staff members who looked after her in the Main North Wing. These GDC employees are dedicated, hard-working, qualified people who provide a cheerful, loving environment for the residents. In a large facility housing 300 residents, there are many tasks to perform daily. The GDC is kept spotlessly clean, meals are cooked and served on time, care attendants are busy and attentive, nurses and doctors handle medical needs, several staff members lead activity or entertainment duties, volunteers assist where they can, and management holds it all together, keeping a sharp eye out and taking corrective action when any problem arises. The staff members are both cheerful and loving. I’m sure they take justifiable pride in their work. Training and self-improvement are everyday functions. In short, the BC Government and Fraser Health, the Board and Management of GDC should all be very satisfied with the services that the staff members at GDC provide. With the concern that a huge increase in the number of people who will need long term care will occur when the baby boomer generation matures, GDC’s structure and operations should be a model to be replicated across the province. The facility itself is bright, with many windows looking out on wooded areas. The rooms are small, of course, but are perfectly adequate. In any case, this note of praise is intended to say thank you to the many people who helped Claire live at GDC for the past two years and to encourage the provincial government and Fraser Health to consider building more not-for-profit facilities to meet the coming need. %/*3%"(3*.+% & -)##)4!',5$)52104
