Council approves plan to change ‘stove tax’

Mayor Mike Hurley campaigned against the tax during the 2018 municipal election Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby homeowners who paid extra utility fees for a secondary suite will be getting that money back.

On Monday, council voted in favour of a proposal that will give credits to property owners who paid an additional 50 per cent in water and sewage fees this

year if they do not rent out a secondary suite.

The city charged singlefamily homeowners a total of $1,198 for the two utilities this year and an extra $569 if they were deemed to have an extra suite.

The fees were due March 15. The supplementary fee is levied if there is a second stove in the home.

This led Mayor Mike

Hurley to dub it a “stove tax” during last year’s campaign, when he vowed to implement an appeal process for people who felt they were unfairly affected by the surcharge.

“If you have a summer kitchen for your family or if you have a mobility-challenged child that happens to be living in the basement and you’re trying to teach

them lifeskills … this is a real big challenge,” Hurley said in September 2018.

Hurley has since changed course, opting instead to propose an exemption for all homeowners with secondary or in-law suites who do not rent out their unit.

charge. If owners confirm their suite is not rented or intended to be rented in 2019, the surcharge will be credited towards their next property tax bill. “‘Rented’ in the context of this declaration would mean the owner receives rental income for use or occupancy of the suite for any period of time, whether short-term or long-term,

and would include renting to family members or relatives,” says a staff report.

Anyone who submits a false or inaccurate declaration would be charged a $1,000 penalty.

The approach would only apply to 2019 because the policy change is coming into force after the March 15 deadline for utility fees, the report says.

Resident livid as city cuts down trees

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

When Gordon Guenter stopped power washing at his Burnaby Heights home Monday afternoon, he was horrified to hear the sound of a nearby wood chipper.

He ran down the block to find a City of Burnaby crew had cut two cherry trees down to the stump and had cut all the branches off a third, leaving only a bare trunk.

“I was very agitated,” said the self-described “tree advocate.”

The beautiful decades-old trees were being cut to make way for a water line replacement and sewer separation project.The city plans to cut down three more trees this week before it begins digging up a section of Boundary Road between Oxford Street and Trinity Street.

But Guenter, who has lived about a block east of Boundary for 28 years, said he had no warning.

The trees, which have just started blossoming, are “very important,” Guenter said. “They are oxygen, aesthetics, shade, sound buffer – it goes on and on and on.”

“I hate to be labelled as a tree hugger, but I am,” he said.

Burnaby’s director of engineering, Leon Gous, said the city did not take this decision lightly.

As its name suggests, he said, Boundary runs along the border between Burna-

A MetroVancouver water main running under Boundary means Burnaby has no choice but to dig up part of the road and adjacent boulevard and sidewalk, Gous said.

Gous said the city origi-

nally identified nine trees to cut down for the project but was able to change plans to save three of them.

“We never remove trees unnecessarily,” he said.

Burnaby modifies projects to minimize the impact on trees, he said, but this time it was unavoidable.

Gous said residents with homes along the stretch of Boundary where the trees are being cut were notified in advance, but the city doesn’t generally notify an entire neighbourhood about a project of this scale.

He also said the trees are being cut with some urgen-

cy this week because a full nesting survey would be necessary starting next week due to laws protecting migratory birds.

The actual infrastructure improvement project will start in two or three months, followed by the replanting of new cherry trees in Octo-

ber, Gous said.

He said the existing trees are approximately 50 years old and only have eight to 10 more years to live, but the replacement trees will be about eight years old and will grow along the boulevard for as long as 50 years into the future.

RECREATION

Free golf for Burnaby politicians remains in place – for now Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A controversial policy that lets Burnaby politicians golf for free will remain in place – for now.

Burnaby city council voted 5-4 Monday to table a proposal that would have slashed the city’s complimentary pass program for past and present mayors, councillors and parks commissioners, as well as current school trustees and library board members.

The program gives members free access to the city’s leisure facilities, including the city’s two largest golf courses – Burnaby Mountain and Riverway.

In 2014, the NOW re-

vealed 19 people had used the program to waive a total of $41,905 in charges the previous year.

Parks commissioner Wayne Peppard made the most use of the program in 2013, with $7,898 worth of golf.

Then-mayor Derek Corrigan had the highest golf usage on council, with a $5,718 total.

Other big users that year included Coun. Colleen Jordan ($4,674), thenschool trustee and current councillor James Wang ($3,518), parks commissioner Lee Loftus ($2,678) and Coun. Paul McDonell ($2,633).

Despite the scrutiny that came with the media cov-

erage, use has not slowed down since.

City documents provided to the NOW by the city show $38,490 was waived in 2014, $47,118 in 2015, $53,344 in 2016, $49,912 in 2017 and $48,846 in 2018.

The city did not identify who used the program between 2014 and 2018.

The vast majority of the charges came from the two golf courses, with the rest coming from the city’s recreation centres.

On Monday, council was set to vote on proposed changes that would have discontinued the program for former council members, former commissioners, people nominated by

council members and commissioners, and all members of the library board and board of education.

If the staff report had passed, it would have also capped the waivers at $1,500 annually per member, including their guests.

The program currently has a total annual cap of $55,000, which would have been removed due to the new individual caps.

The proposed changes would have come into effect in 2020.

“The complimentary pass program has been increasingly scrutinized by the public because it can be seen as excessive and because it has expanded beyond its original purpose,” a

city staff report says.

During last year’s civic election, Corrigan’s use of the waiver program was featured in an attack ad from the International Association of Fire Fighters.

A “Fields not Fees” webpage created by the union read: “Some politicians put their constituents first.

Some politicians would say no to taxpayer-funded golf.

Some politicians ask ‘what does my community want?’

Some politicians would put soccer fields for residents before free golf for themselves. But some politicians aren’t Derek Corrigan.”

Before council could vote on the changes, McDonell moved to table them and ask staff to survey sur-

rounding municipalities on whether they have similar programs.

Councillors Jordan, Nick Volkow, Dan Johnston and James Wang voted for McDonell’s motion.

Mayor Mike Hurley and councillors Pietro Calendino, Sav Dhaliwal and Joe Keithley were opposed.

“It’s not fair for a certain amount of people to get this break and free passes,” Keithley said.

“I mean, how many times do you need to golf in a year?”

City staff are expected to gather information from other Metro Vancouver cities before reporting back to council at a future meeting.

Man ordered to stop posing as a doctor

Kamran Asgari of Ideal Skin Laser andWellness Inc. is also not allowed to administer botox

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The owner of a Burnaby beauty business has been ordered to stop posing as a doctor and providing medical procedures, like Botox injections.

Kamran Asgari of Ideal Skin Laser and Wellness Inc. on Kingsway in Metrotown had been using the titles “Dr.” and “doctor” and providing Botox procedures despite not being a registered member of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, according to a B.C. Supreme Court application filed by the college in January.

“Botulinum toxin is a powerful toxin that can be

extremely dangerous if administered improperly,” stated the application.

“If botulinum toxin is injected into the wrong muscle group, in such a way that the botulinum toxin spreads beyond the intended location, or in an excessive quantity, it can cause partial or complete facial paralysis, trouble swallowing, headaches, flu-like symptoms or botulism poisoning.”

The college applied to the court for an injunction to stop Asgari – until such time as he is registered with the college – from posing as a doctor, advising people about the benefits and risks of Botox, deciding how much Botox to use and where, administering Botox

and advising clients about aftercare.

“Mr. Asgari’s conduct places public health at grave risk,” the college said.

Justice Heather Holmes approved the order last month.

While the order bans him from calling himself a doctor, at least one reference to “Dr. Kamran Asgari” could still be found on the Ideal Skin Laser and Wellness website as of Friday (March 22) in the afternoon.

When reached briefly by phone Friday, Asgari thanked the NOW for pointing out the reference and said he would contact his web support people.

Ride-hailing service to have 19 vehicles in Burnaby

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Ride hailing is finally coming to Metro Vancouver – sort of.

Surrey-based Kater Technologies plans to launch its beta testing phase with 30 vehicles hitting City of Vancouver streets March 30, ramping up to 140 cars around the region over six weeks.

Anyone in Burnaby hoping to use the app to arrange a pickup will either have to wait or cross Boundary Road when the service first launches.

But come late May, Kater plans to have 19 vehicles operating in Burnaby.

In the meantime, early adopters who register at Kater.com will be able to hail a ride in Vancouver and get dropped off anywhere in the metro area, including in Burnaby, spokesperson Corrie Larson said.

“Like most tech companies, we’ve decided to scale our launch,” she said. “A

scaled approach really is a smart approach. “ The company is getting a headstart on ride-hailing giants Uber and Lyft, thanks to its unique business model. Kater struck a deal with the Vancouver Taxi Association last year to secure 140 taxi licences – including 20 via Burnaby-based Bonny’s Taxi.

But Kater owns, operates and insures its own vehicle fleet and employs the drivers, Larson said.

The company has offered as much as $1,635 in signup bonuses to new drivers to cover the cost of Class 4 licences,Taxi Host Pro training and chauffeur permits – all requirements for both Kater and taxi drivers.

“One of the great things about Kater is we wanted to set our drivers up for success … so they really could start off on a career without incurring any sort of debt,” Larson said.

She said the bonuses are not an indication the company has struggled to recruit

“Our current driver pool is enormous, so there is no difficulty at all looking for or finding drivers,” Larson said.

Ian Tostenson, spokesperson for advocacy group Ridesharing Now, previously told the NOW he didn’t

think Kater would be able to provide the kind of service people expect from ride hailing.

He said Kater’s inability to respond to surges in demand like Uber and Lyft will limit its effectiveness.

Drivers for those services choose their own hours use

their own vehicles, allowing them to flood the streets when demand peaks, incentivized by higher “surge” pricing.

Kater will not deploy surge pricing but will have cars on the road 24/7 by the end of its beta phase, according to CEO Scott Lar-

People needed to evaluate ideas for task force

If you want to help guide the future of housing policy in Burnaby, sign up for an upcoming workshop.

The community recommendations workshop will bring together about 100 people to examine and evaluate various housing ideas. It’s part of the Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing, spearheaded by Mayor Mike Hurley.

The city wants a diverse variety of people to participate in the process “to ensure valid and representative results,” an online post says.

You have until March 30 to sign up. Participants will be chosen at random.

You have to be available all day Saturday, May 25 to participate and have to commit to reading a discussion guide beforehand.

You’ll be able to sign up at burnaby.ca under “policies, projects and initiatives.”

The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said in a January statement it was working with a provincial regulator to ensure all current requirements are met, “including a regular, government approved safety inspection of the vehicles, insurance that will cover the carrying of paying passengers and compliance with licence boundaries and other requirements until the fall of 2019 when new regulations will come into force that will allow ride-hailing companies to enter the market.”

The province has come under fire for its slow rollout of ride-hailing services, and Vancouver remains the largest city in North America where Uber and Lyft do not operate.

The B.C. government tabled legislation in November 2018 that would introduce insurance products for ride-hailing companies by fall 2019.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

HandyDART users shouldn’t have to fight for rights

HandyDART users and their loved ones will finally get some recognition for their complaints about substandard service.

It took 18 months and the filing of a Human Rights Tribunal complaint against TransLink to get some resolution.

In 2017, the Handy DART Riders’ Alliance filed a class-action complaint alleging that people with physical and cognitive disabilities are provided with inferior transit service. At the time, they felt

that people with disabilities, including the frail elderly, were effectively being denied access to transit because the service was so bad.

Even TransLink’s own statistics in 2017 and 2018 suggested there was an increase in complaints about issues, such as Handy DART no-shows or wait times longer than promised.

Anyone who knows someone who has had to rely on HandyDART to get to an appointment has heard a horror story of a

wait time much longer than the standard 30 minutes promised by TransLink.

Why should people with disabilities get service of a much lesser standard than everyone else?

That was the crux of the Human Rights complaint that has been set aside.

Now, as part of the settlement agreement,TransLink has agreed to produce an annual service performance report, provide funding for research on the experience of HandyDART customers, and create a HandyDART

users group.

Finally, HandyDART users will be recognized.

Beth McKellar, who lives in North Burnaby, is the co-chair and one of the founding members of the riders alliance. She said the group is overjoyed about the new advisory committee and said they are hoping for a more constructive working relationship with TransLink in the future.

But it hasn’t ended the problems, she said.

“By all means, this does not end the crisis for Han-

dyDART riders,” said McKellar.

Since the settlement, TransLink’s board has voted to establish a standing public HandyDART advisory committee, which will hopefully lead to a constructive relationship between users and the transportation authority.

TransLink is also in the midst of increasing service hours by 15 per cent.

HandyDART also has a new operator, First Canada, which replaced MVT Canadian Bus Inc., last year

and while it’s a bit unnerving for these services to be contracted to a company with the lowest bid, we can only hope that increased service and ongoing performance reviews will ensure a more seamless trip delivery service for users.

For compassion’s sake, as well as the necessity to preserve the dignity of HandyDART users we hope that many of the issues experienced in recent years will be handled with tact, diplomacy and efficiency for now and in the future.

MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL

Toxic bro culture on full display

“Worrrrrldstaaaaaarrr!”

You can easily find that word being shouted out if you just search “one-punch knockouts” on the internet.

What comes up are hundreds of video compilations of men getting laid out by a single punch.

And, in the background, you often hear someone yelping “worldstar” in reference to the video-content aggregatorWorldStarHipHop – a site that celebrates and even encourages the “one-punch” culture. I looked up the site in preparation for this column and the first video on the site’s page was entitled, “How to win a street fight.”

Many of these videos aren’t actually what I would call “fights” because that implies two people willingly entering into battle. So many of these knockouts are actually sucker punches.

I’m writing about this because of two horrific Burnaby-related sucker punches that have been in the news.

The most recent story involves the release of a video showing an unnamed Burnaby man suffering “life-altering injuries” from a vicious punch outside of aVancouver lounge.The crime took place at 2 a.m. and reminded me of something my uncle once told me: “Nothing good ever happens at a bar at 2 a.m.”

In the video, you can see a group of men having an animated conversation.The victim isn’t even really facing the man who assaults him.The dude just waits for the victim to not be looking at him before he launches his fist and then casually walks away. He has no re-

gard for his victim.

I don’t know what these guys were arguing about and I don’t care because it’s irrelevant. One guy probably bumped into another guy and things escalated. I’ve seen fights start between dudes over much less.

That’s the thing about bro culture – it’s so irredeemably stupid how bros are willing to throw down over nothing in order to save face.

And it’s not just bros in their 20s, either. Lawrence Sharpe is a 40-year-old man who was just convicted of manslaughter after throwing a sucker page that killed Burnaby’s Michael PageVincelli in a Starbucks.

That case included a chilling video showing Sharpe sauntering into the Starbucks and then unloading on his victim.

The fragile male ego and an overabundance of testosterone aren’t anything new.

It’s just that in this video age we’re able to watch so many of these incidents over and over again. Perhaps most disturbing is just how excited people get after someone has been knocked out.

That could be somebody dying.That could be somebody suffering “life-altering injuries.” But nobody seems to care.

I haven’t always been immune to this, of course. I can remember being 20 and chanting “FIGHT! FIGHT!” as two drunk guys squared off outside of a bar. It never occurred to me at the time that somebody could actually be seriously injured.

Because in bro culture, it’s all about the act.

Not the consequences.

Refinery has data stolen A $5,000 reward was being offered in July for the return of video tapes, computer hard drives and zip disks that went missing from the Shellburn refinery.The electronic equipment had been used to store “irreplaceable” data about parts of the refinery being sold to the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East. About 70 per cent of the downsized North Burnaby facility was being dismantled, and the data on the stolen devices held the key for putting the thousands of pieces back together again after shipping.

Movie crew made a mess

Editor: To Supernatural 5 Films: Your production team came and left a mess in front of our home.

I wanted to thank you for dismissing our calls during your shoot to your location manager and assistant location manager to simply clean up after your production left their mark in our community.

I suppose the tax incentives to the city would pay for litter and trash pickup and street cleaning for the fresh oil stains your trucks left and, technically, the first couple of feet of the front lawn are city property so the litter is really not on our yard until it blows closer. We will try to keep quiet while your support crew sleep in their trucks in the daytime, smoke and discard their waste.

Our neighbours are happy to offer shade as your staff loiter under trees on the unusually hot days but, again, would it be an imposition to ask your crew to be reasonably quiet and simply pick up after themselves and respect the community?

Why should residents be tasked with cleaning up after your mess? We also have employees of the city who reside here and members of the local RCMP and other civically minded residents amongst us, so we try to look after our community.

Bob Lee, Burnaby

No mess from movie crew Editor: (*This letter is in reference to the above letter after it was posted online.) Re: Burnaby residents shouldn’t have to clean up a film crew’s mess, NOW Letters online, March 22

I live in the “quiet Crest neighbourhood” that was referred to in this letter and I can say unequivocally that not one of us had to “clean up a film crew’s mess” – ever.

As the Block Watch captain for our area, I was well aware of the actions of the production company Supernatural 5 Films in our neighbourhood.

At all times they have been respectful, quiet, co-operative, tidy and professional.

I was totally shocked to read Bob Lee’s account as I had walked past his home at least three times during the filming and didn’t notice any garbage or any crew members being noisy or disrespectful so his comments concerned me greatly.

I did a survey of every neighbour that had vehicles parked either near or in front of their homes during the filming and not one of them had anything but praise for the production company.

In speaking with the assistant location manager, she said that she had responded to a phone call from Bob immediately. She went to his house and didn’t find any of the garbage that he had reported nor did she find Bob at home.

She left a card asking him to call her but she has never received a call back from him and has been unable to make contact with him since. I am a senior, as are several others in our community, but not one of them was inconvenienced by this filming.

We felt it important to respond to Bob’s letter because our experience with Supernatural 5 Films was completely contrary to what Bob had reported and we did not feel it was fair to tarnish the film industry in this way.

Council to ask UBCM about pensions for politicians Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Fewer city employees should have their salaries publicized; local politicians should be eligible for government pensions; and secondary suites should be allowed in duplexes.

Those were the three items on the City of Burnaby’s wishlist ahead of this year’s annual meeting of B.C. municipalities.

On Monday, Burnaby city council voted on whether to forward the resolutions to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September. Once there, mayors and councillors from around the province will decide whether to endorse the ideas.

The first resolution would have asked the finance ministry to change legislation regulating so-called “sunshine lists.”

Currently, cities must list all employees paid more than $75,000 and all suppliers paid more than $25,000.

Inflation has risen “significantly” since those thresholds were set in 2002, making for longer lists every year, a City of Burnaby report says.

In 2017, 795 Burnaby employees made the list.

(Burnaby has not yet released its statement of financial information for 2018.)

“These increases place an undue reporting burden on local governments,” Burnaby staff wrote. “This pressure is felt by all local governments in British Columbia, particularly smaller municipalities with limited administrative capability.”

But the proposed request to raise the sunshine list threshold was pulled from the city’s list of resolutions following a motion from Coun. Colleen Jordan.

Councillors Joe Keithley, Dan Johnston, James Wang and Paul McDonell supported Jordan’s motion.

The other two resolutions passed and will be forwarded to the UBCM. The next proposed resolution would call on the

Mayors and councillors are currently exempt from the province’s municipal pension plan because they do not have traditional contracts and employee/ employer relationships with

the city.

On election night last year, Coun. Nick Volkow decried the policy as unfair to outgoing mayor Derek Corrigan.

“Here’s the reality – (after) 31 years in public service, you shouldn’t be just walking out the door with a kick in the ass and ‘Thanks

for coming’ –You are entitled to something,” he said.

Corrigan was, however, paid a retiring allowance of more than $10,000 a year as mayor.The cash-in-lieu benefit is meant to compensate for the lack of a pension plan, Burnaby’s deputy director of finance said.

The city report points out

that both Ontario and Quebec allow local politicians to participate in provincial pension plans.

“Elected officials provide a significant service to their communities through the time and effort invested during the tenure of office, particularly for those who serve multiple terms,” Burnaby staff wrote.

The third proposed resolution would call on the province to revise the B.C. Building Code to allow for secondary suites in duplexes and townhomes.

City staff are currently studying how allowing secondary suites in Burnaby duplexes might work, but the provincial building code would have to change before they could be allowed.

The National Building Code already allows for such suites. Harmonizing the two codes would allow more rental housing to be created, the report says.

The city has until the end of June to submit more proposed resolutions.

HandyDART riders reach deal Desirée Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

Almost two years after a Human Rights Tribunal case was filed,TransLink and the HandyDART Riders’ Alliance have reached a joint settlement regarding HandyDART services.

The case was originally filed in 2017 and said the TransLink services provided to HandyDART users were substandard in comparison to the services provided to people who could use regular transit.

As part of the settlement agreement,TransLink agreed to produce an annual public report on the service performance of HandyDART, provide funding to the social planning and research council to conduct research on the experience of HandyDART customers and seek board approval to create a HandyDART users group. On Friday,TransLink voted unanimously in favour of establishing a public HandyDART advisory committee.

Residents ask for better lighting

Group wants Royal Oak changes Desirée Garcia

CHANGES COMING: A public advisory committee has been formed to deal with HandyDART issues. PHOTO TRANSLINK

Beth McKellar, who lives in North Burnaby, is the cochair and one of the founding members of the HRA. She said the group is overjoyed about the new advisory committee and said the HRA is hoping for a more constructive working rela-

tionship with TransLink in the future.

“By all means, this does not end the crisis for HandyDART riders,” said McKellar, who has been relying on HandyDART for over 20 years.

McKellar said the HRA is

taking steps towards getting an audit on HandyDART and already has 4,726 signatures of support.

TransLink is in the midst of a 15-per-cent increase in HandyDART service hours, the transit agency said in a news release.

The president of the Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association is calling on TransLink to install better lighting near a South Burnaby SkyTrain to deter crime happening underneath train lines.

Diane Gillis presented a delegation at the TransLink meeting last Friday, saying the areas between Royal Oak SkyTrain station heading towards Rumble Street have members of the community concerned for their safety due to the absence of lighting.

Some people, she says, are actually choosing not to travel by transit to and from work nearby.

“We do believe that if it was lit and as things improve and people continue to feel safe, the businesses can have more of their staff that are taking transit,” Gil-

lis said.

Gillis said the association and members of the community have noticed criminal activity along the transit line and said the area is a high auto-theft area.

Gillis also said the association has approached BC Hydro and Southern Rail to clear plant overgrowth in the area which reduces natural surveillance. Southern Rail did maintain the area, Gillis said.This, in addition to the lack of lighting in the area, causes people to take a longer and alternative route.

The association also has concerns about the many families and students that frequent the area as Burnaby South Secondary School and the British Columbia Provincial School for the Deaf is nearby.

Officials at TransLink said they would be “very interested” in hearing about the information the association has collected.

Free garbage cans coming for some patients Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby residents with some medical conditions will soon be eligible for a free garbage can.

City council passed a new policy on Monday that will provide additional waste receptacles to people whose in-home treatments generate increased garbage.

The city has received re-

quests for free garbage cans “from time to time” over the years, but has dealt with them “inconsistently” due to a lack of official policy, a city report says.

The new policy will see the city provide 240-litre bins, which usually come with a $140 annual fee, to people who meet certain criteria: Residents must live in a single- or multi-family res-

idence that uses garbage cans.They must provide a doctor’s note annually, confirming they have a condition that generates “excessive medical waste.”

The medical condition in question cannot be “elective or cosmetic in nature.”

The applicant must prove they live in Burnaby.

Staff will inspect the receptacle to confirm they are not putting yard waste and

“This year, the campaign takes a step back and focuses on the toxic culture that causes sexual exploitation and human trafficking to thrive.Toxic Masculinity is defined as a form of masculinity that promotes sexual violence, dominance and aggression while forbidding emotions, weakness and vulnerability. Masculinity itself is not the problem, but behaviours such as sexual violence and aggression are.”

Burnaby getting new primary-care networks Desirée Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

Some of the estimated 40,000 Burnaby residents who can’t find a family doctor could soon find easier access after the province announced it was setting up team-based networks designed to link patients with health services.

B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix was in Burnaby on March 21 along with Burnaby-Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan to announce the launch of three new “primary care networks” and one “urgent primary care centre.”

The initiative will also recruit approximately 68 new health-care providers over the next three years to meet demand.

This includes 10 general practitioners, 10 new nurse practitioners, three clinical pharmacists and 45 nursing and allied health-care professionals.

“We want people to be able to get the care in their communities and not end

up in the emergency department because they have no options,” Dix said.

The new networks will be located in the communities of Brentwood-Hastings, Edmonds and Metrotown, with a fourth PCN set to open in the Lougheed area in the future.

The Ministry of Health will provide the Burnaby networks and UPCC with approximately $12 million in annual operating funding by their third year.

“I’m very proud of the work here in Burnaby, which I think is at the leading edge of health-care in Canada,” Dix said.

Board chair of the Burnaby division of family practice, Dr. Charlene Lui, said the PCNs will help bring together clinical teams, including dieticians, pharmacists and counsellors, to support patients.

“We look forward to making our shared, collective vision a reality for Burnaby,” The Burnaby UPCC, which will be located within the Edmonds PCN, will

The first phase will include extended hours of service and will increase access to team-based care.The second will expand to include an incubator clinic in the fall which will allow experienced family physicians to mentor new family physicians and will work to match those without family care providers with one in their community.

The association estimated there are approximately 140 OTs working in the Burnaby community, which is “not enough OTs to staff these new networks appropriately,” according to Tanya Fawkes-Kirby, managing director of CAOT-BC.

Communitynow GREAT CANADIAN SHORELINE CLEANUP

He’s marking a milestone by helping the planet Gerald Owen celebrates his 70th birthday with a cleanup event in his Burnaby neighbourhood Desirée Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

You might not imagine spending your birthday cleaning up local parks in your area, but that’s exactly how Burnaby’s Gerald Owen is celebrating his 70th birthday.

Owen’s milestone birthday is April 8, and his family is hosting a cleanup event

My view is always to leave something or an area better than you found it.

with the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, a national conservation partnership between Ocean Wise and WWF-Canada.

Family, friends and neighbours will gather to clean up litter at Trillium Trails Nature Reserve, just off of Spruce Street, down to Guichon Creek before ending

up with a locally-sourced barbecue at the family home.

Owen was born in Saint John, N.B. in 1949, where he lived for five years before moving with his family to Montreal for 11 years.

Ultimately, he moved and stayed in Burnaby, with him and his neighbour building the family home way back in 1973.

The family still lives there today and they have taken ownership of the nearby trails and creek.

Owen says his family, himself and his neighbours helped save part of the forest near their home by writing letters to local newspapers.

Some even went as far as to tie themselves to trees.

Owen has dedicated his life to making sure local parks and his own community are kept clean from litter by simply picking it up and taking it to the nearest garbage can.

“I admit, I’m a bit obsessive,” Owen said.

Owen said his passion for the environment started at a young age, remembering

Owen recycles and composts and has taught his five children and the rest of his family to do the same.

“My view is always to

leave something or an area better than you found it,” Owen said.

His daughter Catherine Owen said she grew up with an environmental consciousness because of her father, recalling many trips

to the recycling depot and taking leftovers to the compost at a young age.

Catherine said the family felt they needed to celebrate her dad’s life as it’s rare for a person to have spent such a long time living and caring

deeply for the same community.

“I wanted to do something that was characteristically him,” Catherine said.

Great blue herons strut their stuff at Deer Lake The Stanley Park herons are getting all the publicity with the Vancouver Park Board’s “heron cam,” but Deer Lake herons are putting on a show for local residents as spring arrives.

Burnaby photographer Glen Govier snapped photos of all the action recently as Pacific Great Blue herons returned to the rookery, a series of nests high up in the trees.

“They are building and repairing nests, courting and mating,” said Govier.

“Now is a good time to see them before the trees have leaves.They are fighting over nests and mates.”

Govier photographed the courtship, which he affectionately calls “foreplay.”

“It looks like a back massage, but it was pretty aggressive,” he said.

Cue the Barry White boom-chicka-wa-wa music and let the loving begin.

What’s in a name? Burnabarian was one of the first beers released by Dageraad Brewing when the brewery opened in Burnaby in 2014. Dageraad owner, Ben Coli, pictured, asked the City of Burnaby to adopt Burnabarian as the city’s official demonym, but it declined. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR, FILES

City council rejects ‘Burnabarian’ proposal Dageraad Brewing owner remains undaunted and says he’ll ‘play the long game’ on city demonym Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Burnaby won’t be adopting a new demonym any time soon – not officially anyways.

Burnaby city council declined Dageraad Brewing’s request to adopt “Burnabarian” as the city’s official demonym.

Dageraad owner Ben Coli pitched the idea last month.

He said Burnabarian, which is the name of one of the first beers the brewery released when it opened in 2014, would be the perfect moniker for city residents.

But last week, city council sent him their official answer – no.

“While we appreciate

your gracious offer to officially share your exceptional demonym, already embraced and beloved by thousands, in order to continue to honour all of our Burnabians, Burnaby-ites and Burnabites – as well as our Burnabarians – we must graciously decline this generous offer,” council wrote.

Coli said, while he liked the sentiment of the letter, he was disappointed council didn’t adopt the demonym.

“I think the people of Burnaby should know what to call themselves, instead of having to give a qualified response, like ‘Well, some people call us X, but …,’” he wrote in an email to the NOW. “It’s understandable that

mayor and council didn’t want to wade into this fray, especially when there are people who have been in Burnaby a lot longer than we have, who already have another (incorrect) opinion on what our demonym should be.”

But this is just a roadblock, according to Coli.

He plans to keep pushing to have the city declare its residents Burnabarians.

“Dageraad’s going to have to play the long game and work on getting the Burnabarian name in circulation.

Hopefully, in 20 years, there will be such a consensus that we won’t need Council to declare a demonym, because it’s obvious that it’s Burnabarian,” he wrote.

Celebrating Seniors

Police warn seniors about new telephone scam Fraudsters are calling victims and pretending their credit card has been used for a large purchase

Police are warning of a new scam that has defrauded at least five seniors out of millions of dollars.

Police say fraudsters using a landline to call the victim, pretend to be either an employee of a jewelry store or a police officer and, in a complex scam, have defrauded their victims out of $3.1 million.

Vancouver police Sgt. Ja-

son Robillard says the victim is advised their credit card has been used for a large purchase or that police need their help with a fraud investigation, and is told to hang up and call 911.

But while the victim follows that advice, the scammer stays on the line playing a recorded dial tone so the senior thinks the first call has been disconnected

and the second call is linking them with authorities.

Instead, the call goes directly to the fraudster, who pretends to be either a police officer or a bank representative and, in a series of

back and forth calls, convinces the victim to transfer significant amounts of money to specific accounts overseas.

Robillard says at least five similar cases have been re-

ported, bilking seniors of more than $3 million, but he says investigators have recovered about $2.5 million of the stolen cash.

Robillard says awareness is key to preventing such

scams.

“Consider using a cellphone or make sure you are disconnected after you hang up,” he says.

AS WE AGE

Are you taking your meds properly? Many aren’t Nearly forty per cent of British Columbians are not taking their prescription medications properly according to a new survey conducted by Insights West on behalf of London Drugs.

This includes one in four who admit they take less than prescribed or don’t fill prescriptions given to them, one in five who say they stop taking medications before advised, and 19 per cent who admit they make adjustments to prescription dosage, size, or frequency, without consulting a healthcare professional.

“The significant number of Canadians who reportedly do not take their medications accurately is not limited to any particular age or gender demographic – it is rampant across the board, suggesting that awareness and education needs to be improved,” says Steve Mossop, president of Insights West.

“Either intentional or unwitting failure to take medications as prescribed decreases the effectiveness of treatment and endangers patient health,” says Michael Athanassakis, a pharmacist at London Drugs.

“There are several factors that contribute to the improper use of medications, including forgetfulness, inconvenience and a lack of understanding about how to take medications properly.”

According to the poll, close to a quarter of British Columbians attribute their non-adherence to forgetfulness, saying they have had trouble remembering when or if they have taken a medication. One in ten say they are unsure why they have

been prescribed certain medications, and a further eight per cent say they feel overwhelmed by the complexity of their medication regimen.

“It’s not uncommon for some patients – especially those who have chronic health conditions – to be prescribed multiple medications at a time.These drugs can interact with each other in unpleasant or even dangerous ways which makes it imperative that patients understand how to take them properly,” says Athanassakis.

Pharmacists are trained to identify a wide range of medication issues and ensure the safe and effective use of prescriptions.While awareness about their expertise in this area is high, the poll revealed that British Columbians aren’t getting – or asking for – as much help as they could be from pharmacists. For example, the vast majority (84 per cent) are aware that pharmacists offer counselling on the safe use of medications, but only three in ten (31 per cent) say they use this service.

Eight in ten (84 per cent)

say they are aware pharmacists can review current prescription medications to help minimize drug interactions and ensure maximum effectiveness, yet only about one in three (36 per cent) say they have consulted a pharmacist on this topic.

“Medication reviews and pharmacist consultations are safeguards designed to make sure people take medications correctly.They also help patients understand the purpose and potential downsides of all meds to help them avoid serious drug side-effects, drug interactions, and even overdoses,” says Athanassakis.

“Sometimes we determine that a patient’s medications may not be working together ideally, or they might even be working against each other slightly, or they could be redundant. Each person experiences different interactions and side effects, which makes an individualized consultation even more important.”

The Office of the Ombudsperson has determined that key recommendations from a wide-ranging investigation of seniors care and services are still outstanding – seven years later.

In February 2012, the Office of the Ombudsperson released The Best of Care: Getting it Right for

Affordable housing: Fair Haven’s new apartment building on Rumble Street provides homes for residents 55 and older. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

There are 145 new homes in Burnaby for residents 55 and older, thanks in part to a grant from the local government.

The City of Burnaby granted $691,640 to Fair Havens Homes Society to offset city fees for its nonmarket rental development on the corner of Rumble Street and McKay Avenue.

The recently completed four-storey building includes 113 studio apartments renting for $975 per month and 32 one-bedroom apartments renting for $1,300, according to a Fair Haven press release.

The project was developed by BC Housing, Fair Haven and Colliers International.

Each unit gives full independence to residents while also connecting them to a common room and courtyard, the release says.

“This is my dream apartment,” resident Marie Silva, 58, said in the release.

This is my dream apartment

“Safe, affordable, close to Metrotown, with a community space where I can get to know my neighbours and hopefully organize yoga classes this spring.”

Silva was also able to

move in with her chihuahua, as all the units are petfriendly.

Another new resident, Dave Peacock, 72, moved in after spending four years in an extended-care home, recovering from a stroke.

He said he enjoys the common areas but especially appreciates the privacy of his new apartment, calling it “state-of-the-art.”

Fair Haven CEO Joy Parsons said the smaller studio suites allowed the organization to create more homes.

“We just wanted to maximize the number of people we could provide housing for while ensuring the space is accommodating, inviting and livable,” she said in the press release.

Entertainment now A comedic twist on burlesque editorial@burnabynow.com

In the spotlight: Dee Twenty is a burlesque performer from Burnaby who’s appearing in this year’s Vancouver International Burlesque Festival. Dee is onstage in the Showpony Soirée evening on Friday, April 5.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Burnaby talent is shimmying onto the stage for Vancouver’s biggest weekend of burlesque.

Dee Twenty is a non-binary drag and burlesque artist who has been performing and racking up awards across the Lower Mainland and Western Canada for nearly 10 years.

Identifying as a nerd, Dee (who uses gender-neutral pronouns) chose their stage name because of a 20-sided dice used in the popular role-playing fantasy game Dungeons and Dragons.

Having grown up with interests in theatre and dance, Dee never considered getting into burlesque until they went to the Vancouver Burlesque Festival for the first time.There, Dee witnessed and connected with the comedic aspect of burlesque.

They bring a uniqueness to the burlesque community through their use of clowning, an art form they’ve been practising since high

school that includes using comedy and body movements to connect with an audience, similar to those of a mime.

“When I’m on stage, I use my body, and my face especially, to tell a story and usually a very, very comedic one,” they said.

Dee has performed on many stages including Wet Coast Burlesque, the Edmonton Burlesque Festival and the Taboo Revue.They are also one of the founding members of Ghost Light Vaudeville Society and currently sit on the board of the Screaming Chickens Theatrical Society.

Dee said most of their family and friends are not aware of the extent of their performer life as they said there is still a stigma against burlesque and drag.

Dee volunteered at the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival last year and will continue to volunteer this year, but with an added twist: they’re also set to perform for the first time at this year’s festival.

“You’re going to find

Check it out What: Vancouver International Burlesque Festival, featuring performances, talks and workshops When: Wednesday, April 3 to Saturday, April 6 Where: Evening shows at Vancouver Playhouse, 600 Hamilton St. Tickets and info: www.vibf.ca some really unique acts, not just classic burlesque, but there’s going to be some amazing nerd acts,” they said.

Dee will be performing on Friday, April 5.

To perform in the festival, Dee, as well as other performers, submitted videos explaining their act. Dee said there were upwards of 250 applicants from all over the world vying for an opportunity to perform in one of the festival’s 30 spots.

Put on every spring since 2006, the festival invites au-

diences to check out four days filled with workshops, talks and, of course, burlesque.

The festival’s board president, who goes by her stage name, Sparkle Plenty, said the festival aims to show audiences that burlesque is not limited to one traditional style, explaining that the art form is also “satirical, nerdy, dirty and beautiful.”

“We want to put the best burlesque on the stage,” she said.

In its 14th year, the Vancouver event is Canada’s longest-running burlesque festival and features a mix of local and international talent.This year’s festival is emphasizing the idea that “every body is a burlesque body,” something that fits into its diversity policy, which ensures the visibility and inclusion of all sizes, genders, races, sexual identities and ages.

The Vancouver International Burlesque Festival runs at the Vancouver Playhouse from Wednesday, April 3 to Saturday, April 6.

Quit relying on Dr. Mommy Group and consult a real professional Bianca Bujan

I pop onto my local Facebook moms’ group page on a daily basis to see what’s happening in the digital world.

Often, the group serves as a valuable resource for things to do with your kids in the area, tips on how to feed fussy eaters, a venue to vent or a place to provide advice for new parents who feel alone in the perplexing world of parenting.

The online community of moms is a great place to connect, but sometimes I’ll open the window to discover a close-up photo of oozing sores or a questionable query about a raging red rash, paired with prompts for advice from parents.

Many are quick to reply with suggestions and anecdotes, but the first thing that comes to my mind is, “Why don’t you ask a freak-

comments in chat groups – looking for a quick fix.You want to make your kids feel better as soon as possible, but trusting the untrustworthy sources that are found on the internet can do more harm than good.

Many parents rush to Facebook groups, blogs and search engine results for

advice, hoping to resolve their concerns quickly. But they are blind to the red flags that signify a scam or a hook.

Some don’t recognize that a medical website riddled with ads may be more of a sales ploy than a reliable

source and may not notice when results are geared towards bringing new clients through the door for a consultation rather than providing a reliable suggestion to cure their ailments.

Parents, let’s practise what we preach. Just as we remind our kids, it’s important to remind ourselves as well not to believe everything that we read online.

When it comes to matters of the heart, input from likeminded moms can be a valuable tool, but for matters of health and safety, consult the experts – don’t question your Facebook friends.

Anyone can pose as a pediatrician, philanthropist or parent, so what you find online should be taken as informational at best, and may not always be in your best interest.

I know that the lineups at medical clinics and emergency rooms can be unbearable, but I’ve also been on the receiving end of eyerolls from doctors who are visibly fed up with patients who wholeheartedly believe in self-diagnoses based on Google searches and advice from unknowing friends.

Unfortunately, these medical guesses lead to unwarranted requests for antibiotics, devastation due to the presumed severity of an illness and apathy towards asinine symptoms that end up being more serious than assumed.

I’m sure it’s enough to drive a professionally trained physician crazy.

Parents seem to have abandoned their natural instincts in favour of taking opinions and advice found online as fact.

When you’re responsible for little lives, it can be easy to get caught up in the moment and digest articles or

The conventional banking business has undergone rapid technological change in the last decade. It faces new competition from emerging financial technology to erode its value chain.

Our expert panel will explore the future of banking and finance, the policy challenges of the landscape, the imperatives of the incumbents and the opportunities for the upstarts. Anyone with a stake in banking and finance will find this discussion essential in informing decisions in the near term.

The $40 billion initial investment in LNG Canada, the nation’s largest private sector infrastructure project, offers enormous economic opportunity for B.C. The pivotal question for every company is how it can participate directly in the project as part of the supply chain or indirectly via the provision of financial, investment, employment, technology and other services.

Businesses also want to know what LNG means for Canada’s natural gas industry and how LNG can impact global emissions reduction initiatives. Our event will feature a keynote address and expert panel discussion followed by networking to build business relationships. It will be a vital session for any business interested in benefiting from Canada’s exciting LNG opportunity.

Titanic the Musical comes to Shadbolt stage

Saturday & Sunday 10am-5pm Both Days

APRIL 6 & 7

Lindbjerg Academy production opens April 12

A group of young performers is bringing a classic story to life in musical form.

Titanic the Musical, presented by a 27-member student cast from the Lindbjerg Academy of Performing Arts, is onstage at the James Cowan Theatre at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts from Friday, April 12 to Sunday, April 14.

It’s the first Metro Vancouver production of the musical – which tells the story of the ill-fated ship and its passengers – since Theatre Under the Stars staged it in 2012.

“This group, albeit much younger than the historic characters they are depicting, has done a fantastic job of bringing this story to life,” said director Mark Turpin in a press release.

“They have found a way to relate to what the passengers and crew had to be thinking about and feeling when they were aboard the ship.”

Turpin said his cast has worked hard over a period of seven months to produce a show that captures the real chronicles of the passengers and crew. In addition to studying the music and lines, blocking the ship scenes and mapping out the choreography, the group studied the characters indepth and even went to the Titanic exhibition that was on display in Richmond last year.

“That experience of going to the exhibit really inspired them all – evident in their portrayals I have seen in rehearsal,”Turpin said.

“Audiences will not be disappointed.”

Turpin said the production will do justice to the musical score, which has been described by critics as haunting and uplifting.

“Our students put such passion into what they do, they are able to conquer the challenging harmonies and solos featured throughout,” he said. “This will most def-

Fashion, art in spotlight for arts council gala Fifty years deserves a celebration – and the Burnaby Arts Council is getting set for a big one.

The arts council is planning a year of events and programming in honour of its 50th anniversary, coming up in 2020 – and it’s holding a gala fundraiser in April to help make it all possible.

The gala and fashion show is set for Saturday, April 13 at 8 p.m. at Deer Lake Gallery, 6584 Deer Lake Ave. Kicking off the festivities will be a fashion show at 8 p.m., featuring the designs of Burnaby’s ownYifat Jovani. Jovani will show her 2019 spring and summer designs, reflecting her understanding of the demands of the modern woman’s lifestyle.

“She believes women don’t have to suffer to look fabulous, and designs clothes that are easy to wear, easy to pair and easy to care for,” a press release says.

“It is this marriage between

comfort and style that makesYifat Jovani designs unique and adds to their growing popularity and increased media attention.”

At 9 p.m., there will be a live art auction featuring some top-notch work – including a limited edition framed print by Susan Point, and original artwork by Bill Higginson and local ceramic artist Keith Rice-Jones, plus many more works created and donated by artists (both local and international).

There will also be a live painting event starting at 8:30 p.m. and featuring Jace Junggyu Kim, who won the gallery’s recent Park’s Edge Paint Off live art battle in February. Kim’s on-thespot artwork will also be offered up in the night’s live auction.

The night will feature live music by Cumbia Galera, plus nibbles and a cash bar.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

GOLF

Zalli whomps field by 12 strokes at tourney Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It wasn’t long ago that snow and ice were carpeting the local golf courses.

Leave it up to Burnaby’s Ilirian Zalli to lead the thaw.

The teenager posted three consecutive rounds of 69 to capture this week’s Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Humber College PGM, presented by TaylorMade at Swan-e-Set Bay Resort in Pitt Meadows.

Not only did Zalli set an amazing pace, winning by 12 strokes over Vancouver’s Tony Li, but he also secured for a direct exemption into the 66th annual International Junior Masters in East Aurora, NY, June 24 to 28, and for the B.C. Golf junior boys championship, July 2 to 5.

The 16-year-old, who attends David Thompson Secondary, went bogey-free in the opening round, shooting par on the front nine and connecting for three straight birdies on the back nine.

On the second day, he chalked up five birdies on the par-72 course, and closed out with four on the final day. Only one other player in the junior boys division managed a sub-70 round, thirdplace Michael Wu with a 69. It gave him a three-day, nine-under par 207, which set the pace for the whole tournament.

“It feels fantastic to play up a division and win. It’s been a long winter and it’s great to know that the hard work has paid off,” Zalli said.

In 11th place was 17-year-old Daniel Taddei, who registered rounds of 78, 81 and 80 (239) to finish 20 shots off the pace.

In the juvenile boys division, Burnaby’s Andy Luo was in the hunt until the final day, placing third after a three-day total of 223 (73, 75, 75). He sat one stroke back after an opening round of 73, but the 16-year-old was unable to match Washington State golfer Thomas Huang, who closed the tourney at 220.

Jay Xu finished second in the

peewee boys division after a threeround tally of 231 (75, 80, 76), 10 shots behind Vancouver’s Ryan Liang.The main point of separation was 12-year-old Xu’s second round, where he stumbled with seven bogeys and a double-bogey.

In the bantam division, Burnaby’s Denby Carswell placed ninth after firing a three-day total of 233 (75, 80, 78).

LingYu Hao, meanwhile, placed ninth in under-15 girls, with a three-round score of 245 (90, 79, 76).

JUDO

Petrovic leads the medal parade at Edmonton event Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Debuting in the +73-kilogram division at the Edmonton International Judo tournament, Burnaby Judo Club’s Nikola Petrovic made like it was all-so familiar with a 3-0

victory in the spotlight of a championship final.

One of 13 Burnaby club members to make the trip, Petrovic led the medal parade with a standout performance, closing the tourney with the decision over Corban Taylor of Saskatchewan in the un-

der-16 boys division.

It was the perfect ‘doubling down’ effort, as the teen also secured a bronze in the u18 division a day earlier.

Through the two-day event, the Burnaby club returned with a good haul of medals, adding up

to two gold, two silver and five bronze.

Also capturing some impressive hardware from the international meet were Beata Schenk, finishing first in the u14 women’s 52kg category, and silvers to Klavdia Danilkov, in u18’s 48kg division,

and Hailey Ko, in u18’s 52kg.

Recording third-place results were Ekaterina Danilkov, who finished third in both the u16 and u18 girls 44kg, sister Klavdia Danilkov, in senior women’s 48kg, and Jenna Ko, in u14 girls 32kg.

Real estate slowdown is main drag on B.C.’s economy: Central 1 The slowdown in B.C.’s real estate market is the “primary drag on B.C.’s economic growth,” according to a recent forecast by Central 1 Credit Union.

The credit union said, “Federal B-20 mortgage ‘stress tests’ and provincial tax measures that were introduced in 2018 have led to a severe housing retrenchment in the existing home sales market. Retrenchment has been significant in larger urban markets, which will curtail new home activity in 2019. Home sales have fallen to a multi-year low pace. Credit constraints alongside higher interest rates have curtailed the purchasing power of some buyers, triggering price declines and slowing activity in ancillary sectors of the economy [such as renovation spending and the furnishings retail sector].”

Bryan Yu, report author and Central 1 Credit Union’s deputy chief economist, said that the federal mortgage stress test has been much more acutely felt in B.C.’s major markets than elsewhere in the country, because of the already-high cost of housing.

He said in an interview, “In higher-priced markets, where buyers are already more constrained in terms of their buying ability, the stress test makes them stretch even more to get into the market. The usual way to make up the differential is through a higher down payment, which might be an extra $80,000 in Vancouver compared with an extra $35,000 in Winnipeg – it’s much harder to bridge the gap. So buyers in higher-priced markets get pushed out.”

The report predicted, “Existing home sales turn higher by mid-2019 as lower prices induce buyers to enter the market, but a substantial rebound is not expected. This downturn will be modest compared to previous episodes, reflecting a policy-induced downturn, rather than economic-

www.

recession induced downturn.”

Yu added, “We’re already seeing benchmark MLS prices come down, and we would expect to see buyers come back. When you look at the economy, it’s still pretty sound, so we expect to see a return in demand.

The issue is whether the buyers will be able to get financing for their home purchases. And sellers don’t have their backs against the wall, so they don’t necessarily have to sell for a lower price.”

Housing starts to decline Central 1 predicted that the current slowdown in home sales would continue to pull down on the overall economy over the next year or so, with housing starts and residential investment following the decline in sales.

The report said, “Housing starts lag the sales cycle and are forecast to decline by 20 per cent this year to 32,600, before edging higher in subsequent years. The current downcycle in demand leads to higher new home inventory and reduced condominium pre-sale activity, forcing developers to delay construction or cancel projects. Government investment in housing will provide some offset to a decline in private investment. Residential investment spending declines eight per cent this year on fewer housing starts, and a slowdown in renovation spending deteriorates in 2020, before turning higher.”

However, the credit union is not predicting an overall recession, as other areas of the provincial economy look strong. “Real GDP is forecast to slow to 2.1 per cent this year before rising to 2.4 per cent in 2020 and 2.8 per cent in 2021… A ramp up in major capital project construction in the private and public sectors will be a strong offset to the decline in residential activity.”

Creativity & Children A great mix

That’s one of the reasons our annual Design an Ad special supplement continues to be popular in Burnaby.

The Burnaby NOW, local businesses and organizations, and the Burnaby school district, team up and ask city students to design newspaper ads for the special section.

Every year, the students produce insightful, creative, thoughtful – and often humorous – advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects and often carry compelling messages. The businesses and groups get to choose which students’ advertisement they want to run in the section and our photographer visits the students. The ads and photos of students are put together by our team at the Burnaby NOW and another Design an Ad section is complete.

The ads are also on display at Lougheed Town Centre from March 29. I would like to thank all of the students, teachers and participating advertisers who continue to make this annual project a real success!

What do you want to be when you grow up? This question has persisted for generations, and it’s even more complex for our students today. By the time this year’s Kindergarten classes graduate from high school there will be professions that we couldn’t imagine now. For example, who could have predicted that talking on YouTube about video games could earn someone a reported six-figure income?

At Burnaby Schools we create a learning experience that empowers students with the skills they need to succeed – no matter what the future brings – such as creative and critical thinking. In the “age of Google” being able to recite facts no longer holds the value it once did.

One of the important opportunities the Burnaby School District provides is career exploration. This competition for Design an Ad is but one example of that: a chance to try marketing and advertising. Another is Burnaby Schools unique Words Writing Project, which gives our students a chance to become published authors.

What do you want to be when you grow up ?

When students reach the high school level, there are dozens of additional career exploration opportunities, which are further strengthened by our partnerships in this community with post-secondary institutions and industry. Our Programs of Choice include diverse We won’t rest on our offerings such as video collective success as a game design, trades, hairstylist, tourism, cyber District. We are always security, health sciences, challenging ourselves and exploring the world of engineering. These to be better. and other choices give students the chance to excel in a specific area of interest, while fulfilling academic requirements and igniting their future.

We won’t rest on our collective success as a District. We are always challenging ourselves to be better. It’s that desire to do more that has led to educational choice that allows our students to explore their interests, support their strengths, or get exposed to a career.
