The Coast Guard pulled a man’s body from the Burrard Inlet off Burnaby’s Barnet Marine Park on March 28. Witnesses at the scene said the man had been crab fishing from a small plastic boat when it got away from him. A woman who jumped

into the water trying to save the man said the boat had been right beside him when she first spotted him, but the current and wind soon moved it out of his reach. “We heard him calling for help. I tried to swim out to him,” she told the NOW. “I left my pants on, and it was so hard to swim, and I had to turn back, and then he went under. It’s terrible.” The North Delta woman,

who did not want her name published, said a man had stripped down and swum all the way out to two buoys where the man had gone under but couldn’t locate him and turned back. Burnaby RCMP got the call at 2:15 p.m. and responded, along with three Coast Guard vessels, ambulance, the Burnaby Fire Department and the Vancouver Police Marine Unit, accord-

ing to an RCMP press release.The man was located by a Coast Guard diver and pulled from the water. “It is early in the investigation, but at this time the incident appears to have been a tragic accident and foul play is not suspected,” said a police press release. The coroner said the man was in his mid-60s. See the related story on Page 3.

Citynow INVESTIGATIONS

Four Burnaby cases remain unsolved

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The BC Coroners Service is looking for the public’s help identifying human remains found in Burnaby dating back to 1975. Every now and then, Burnaby RCMP will get a report that human remains have been found in the city. Usually, investigators are able to identify the remains, but four such discoveries have stayed a mystery since 1975. The coroners service launched an interactive map plotting out the locations of these and other discoveries of still-unidentified human remains around the province. The tool is designed to help generate new leads from the public that could advance investigations and close cases. There are currently just under 200 unsolved and active cases involving unidentified human remains in B.C., according to the coroners service. Burnaby RCMP has four such cases on its books. On Aug. 19, 1975, the remains of a 60-year-old man of unknown race were found just south of Hastings Street and west of Grove Avenue. Investigators estimated he

This case is not included in the coroners service map. PHOTO NOW FILES had been dead for between one day and one week.They were able to determine the man had tuberculosis. (Case no. 197523930) On April 8, 1997, the body of a five-foot-four Asian man between the ages

of 21 and 35 was discovered in Burrard Inlet off of Barnet Marine Park. Investigators say he had also died between one day and one week before being discovered. He was wearing an or-

ange life jacket, a synthetic blue, red and white track suit jacket with stripes down the sleeves; blue nylon track pants; and brown suede boots. He was found with Chinese money and may have

been a stow-a-way aboard a freighter, according to the coroners service. (Case no. 1997-50716) The remains of two infants found in the city have also yet to be identified. On June 2, 2007, the re-

mains of a boy less than one year old and of unknown race were found near the Burrard Inlet at Barnett Marine Park. He had died between two months and five years before being found, according investigators. (Case 2007-25685) On Oct. 11, 2011, the remains of another boy, this one possibly up to one year old, were found in the Fraser River, off Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park near Beedie Street. Investigators estimate the infant had died between one month and a year before being discovered. (Case no. 201144689) “By reaching out and engaging members of the public with the launch of this innovative tool, it’s our hope to gain new investigative leads that will lead to the identification of these unidentified individuals and bring closure to their families,” chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said in a press release. Anyone with information or questions about any of the cases displayed on the map is asked to contact the special investigations unit at BCCS.SIU@gov.bc.ca and to quote the file number provided.

MARINE RESCUES

Fireﬁghters had to commandeer boat to try and save man Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby firefighters could do little to help a man who drowned in Burrard Inlet on March 28 after they arrived first on scene – without a boat. The fire department got the drowning call at 2:03 p.m., according to assistant fire Chief GregYoung. Crews arrived at Barnet Marine Park at 2:10 p.m., but they had been dispatched without a boat. Bobbi McBride, a Coquitlam resident who had been crabbing and taking photos by the beach, said firefighters had cut the lock on a boat-storage area and commandeered a small dinghy when they realized how far out the man had capsized. “As soon as they did that, they grabbed it and ran towards the shore and got

into it, two of them did,” she said. Two firefighters, initially without lifejackets, rowed out to the spot where the man had last been seen, about 200 feet from shore, but they were unable to locate him. Two civilians had already jumped in to try and save him, but one turned back and the other had also been unable to find him. “As far as the emergency teams, before they got there, he was gone,” McBride said. The man’s body was pulled from the water by a Coast Guard hovercraft dive crew at 3:20 p.m. JURISDICTION Burnaby firefighters from Fire Hall 4 on Duthie Street used to train for marine rescues on the Burrard Inlet and take turns manning a fireboat stationed nearby in

partnership with the Port Moody fire department. The arrangement was part of the “Fire Boat Operating Agreement,” signed in 1991 by the cities of Vancouver, North Vancouver, Port Moody and Burnaby as well as the District of North Vancouver and Port Metro Vancouver. It governed the deployment of five fireboats in the region and cost the City of Burnaby $75,000 a year, according fire Chief Joe Robertson. “The training required just for the boat operator was really – it took a lot away from our other training,” he told the NOW. When city council voted to leave the agreement in December 2012, a staff report stated: “Should Burnaby decide to terminate the marine fire-fighting agreement, the fire department has two smaller zodiac boats

which may be deployed to respond to minor marine emergency calls.” CASE-BY-CASE Today, however, those boats are stationed at Fire

Hall 1, near Deer Lake, and the fire department says Burrard Inlet is not within its jurisdiction. “We now train just at Burnaby Lake and Deer Lake,” Robertson said.

He said the department decided focusing on the city’s inland waters was the most effective way to deploy its resources. The fire department now only dispatches boats to calls on the Burrard Inlet to the north and the Fraser River to the south of the city on a case-by-case basis. Robertson said he made the call not to send the boats in response to the March 28 call. “I was told that the Coast Guard and the fireboat were en route,” he said. Without a boat, firefighters can attempt a landbased rescue with throw lines and life rings, according toYoung, but the man had gone down before crews got there. “When they got there, they did the best that they could to try and locate the person,”Young said.

City now Burnaby man assaulted in East Van Vancouver police are looking for the public’s help with an investigation of a vicious assault in East Vancouver March 23 that left a Burnaby man with lifethreatening injuries. The 64-year-old was walking along Euclid Avenue near Tyne Street in Vancouver at around 10 p.m. when he was attacked, according to a Vancouver Police Department press release.

Family wants apology after cops point guns

Burnaby RCMP defend the actions of officers, saying they were responding to a ‘high-risk’ incident Sara said a police officer called him back and told him to turn on the exterior lights and send the man out with his hands up. “He starts walking out with his hands up. I open the door for him, and then the police, there was one specific officer that was really loud, and he started yelling, ‘Everybody, hands up! Everybody out of the house!’ repeatedly over and over again,” Sara said. The whole family came out with just their socks on and were patted down by police, according to Sara. Officers then searched the house. “When there’s a gun pointed at you, you’re inclined to acquiesce to a request,” Sara said. He said he doesn’t understand why police ordered everyone to leave the house so suddenly. “If they had planned to do that, why wouldn’t they just ask us since we were already cooperating? And, if they didn’t plan to do that, what went wrong and what can be done about it in the future?” he said. Some family members suspect the actions may

A Burnaby family ordered out of their home by police officers with guns drawn says the Burnaby RCMP owes them an apology – especially since the family had been the ones to call 911 to help a man who told them he was in mortal danger. Joe Sara told the NOW he and his family were at home watching hockey on March 23 when they heard loud bangs coming from Harwood Park next door just after 8 p.m. They thought nothing of it, Sara said, since kids often make noise in the park. A few minutes later, however, a man who looked to be in his mid-20s rang their doorbell and told Sara someone was shooting at him and his friends in the park. Sara let the man in after he called 911. ‘HANDS UP!’ The dispatcher told him to stay inside with the man as police checked out the scene. After about half an hour,

have been influenced by the family’s ethnic origin. “I hate to say that maybe race, or not race per se, but background, had a little role to play because the kid was of Fijian or Indian descent, based on looks. And my family’s of Punjabi Indian descent and I have a long beard,” Sara said. Burnaby RCMP, however, said that’s not the case at all. “Our police officers were responding to a dynamic, fast moving, high-risk incident,” Supt. Graham de la Gorgendiere said in an email to the NOW. “They did not know if this man was potentially a victim or a suspect until they had spoken with him. They also did not know if there was potentially another suspect or victim in the home … At this point, suspects and multiple other potential victims were still outstanding.” SHOTS FIRED The man who sought refuge in Sara’s home had been one of three men playing soccer at the park, according to police.

a vehicle (possibly a grey hatchback) had pulled up and a man had gotten out and asked for a certain individual by name. When the three men said they didn’t know who that was, a second man got out of the vehicle with a handgun and shot multiple times into the ground around the soccer players. The victims scattered, and the two suspects fled in the vehicle, the men told police. During the 911 call from Sara’s house, police said they were told the man who took refuge there had been chased. Because the suspects were still at large, police said they asked the man to come out with his hands up, which he did, but Sara, who had opened the door for him “failed to follow further direction and closed the front door of the home.” Not knowing whether there was another suspect hiding in the home, police decided to clear the house and search it just to make sure. “Once the home had been cleared, these residents were allowed back in,” de la

B.C. child beneﬁt a positive step, so just get on with it

The past few months have seen some major steps forward when it comes to child care in Burnaby. Earlier this month, Katrina Chen, MLA for Burnaby-Lougheed and minister of state for child care, was promoting the new B.C. Child Opportunity Benefit, which is aimed at helping middle-class families and parents forced to decide between staying at home with their children and returning to school or work. The benefit will replace and expand the previous

Early Childhood Tax Benefit, which currently ends at six years of age. It will now continue until age 18. Families earning up to $97,487 with one child and families earning up to $114,487 with two children will be eligible to receive the benefit.The maximum annual benefit is set at $1,600 for the first child, $2,600 for two children and $3,400 for three children. The unfortunate part is that this benefit doesn’t actually start until October 2020 – it’s weird how great

things get announced, but then governments tell you to wait more than a year. Maybe just get on with it. Another piece of good news is that Burnaby early childhood educators and other child-care providers are set to receive more professional development training after the province announced that $6.3 million will be spent on a variety of programs through its threeyear, $153-million Early Learning and Child Care Agreement with the Government of Canada.

Six organizations are receiving funding to expand training in key areas, including leadership, administration, management and ethics, as well as courses targeted specifically at family child-care providers. Child-care professionals around the province will be able to access a mix of faceto-face and online courses, training sessions, handbooks, videos and podcasts. This is excellent news because these are the folks who are educating our children and they deserve ac-

cess to good resources. It’s a good investment. If only more were done to actually pay child-care staff more for the work they do. But perhaps the biggest Burnaby-related news is that the local school 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 recently. It would be a 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. The report actually laid out a series of options for the school district.Things are preliminary, but this is a good first step towards finding more child-care options for parents.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

NDP right to push for LNG projects

Some of the BC NDP government’s front-bench members found themselves squirming last week when their words came back to haunt them. B.C. Green Party leader AndrewWeaver delighted in reading into the record many of the statements made by a number of NDP MLAs in the legislature on the possibility of an LNG industry in this province. Before forming government, many New Democrats were vocal opponents of LNG. Weaver compiled quotes from NDP MLAs in a remarkable version of the tried-and-true “that-wasthen-but-this-is-now” political game. It was part of his attempt to defeat the NDP legislation that sweetens the tax burden for LNG companies. “This is the big sellout of British Columbia,” Energy Minister Michelle Mungall said in 2015. “We are creating significant environmental catastrophe, significant health issues and we are going to cost the economy of this province, this nation and the world of billions of unnecessary dollars,” was Environment Minister George Heyman’s view in 2016 of the impact an LNG industry would have on climate change. Back when she was the finance critic, Carole James’ view of the BC Liberals’ LNG plan (which was even less generous to the industry than her government’s plan is) was decidedly negative, as she branded it “the wrong direction for our province to go. It’s the wrong direction for a government to go.”

Some may call this hypocrisy, but I beg to differ. Instead, I think it is yet another example of how the positions a party takes in Opposition are often subject to change once it forms government. An Opposition that is in constant agreement with a government is likely not going to be an effective counterweight. But it has to change its mindset once it takes on the difficult task of developing industries and creating jobs and revenue. So I don’t fault the NDP for switching gears here, but that does not make the government immune to accusations of hypocrisy in other areas. Take the recent airing of partisan radio ads that attack the BC Liberals.They are paid for out of the taxpayer-funded budget for the NDP government caucus. This is a blatant, crass move directly tied to selfcentered political interests and unlike wooing an LNG project, has nothing to do with public policy or the economy. The NDP rightly condemned the former B.C. Liberal government for spending money on advertising that promoted government policies, but I don’t recall even the hyper political BC Liberals dipping into its caucus budget to pay for ads, or using tax dollars to attack their political opponents. No, this meets the hypocrisy sniff test. Switching positions on LNG? Not so much. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

Barnet seawall dream dies A 20-year dream to build a two-mile, raised-rock and concrete seawall at Barnet Marine Park died so creatures living in the inter-tidal zone might live.The plan was developed in the 1970s but rejected by theVancouver Port Corporation after the federal department of fisheries and oceans raised concerns it would cover the rocky hiding places preferred by small inter-tidal species.The Barnet foreshore was deemed a productive, but sensitive habitat. “We didn’t think of those kinds of things in the ’70s,” said Burnaby parks superintendent John Kirbyson.

We need term limits for city politicians

Editor: Re: Burnaby council pulls salary disclosure resolution from UBCM resolution wish list, NOW, March 26 Here’s the thing, Derek Corrigan knew what he was getting himself into when he got involved in running to become mayor of Burnaby, way back when, and he knew that no pension rights were attached to the position of mayor or councillors. Why is this issue coming up and what is it Coun. Nick Volkow ultimately is looking for – to create a policy where all municipal politicians are entitled to publicly funded pensions? If so, I contend that politicians, period, should not be entitled to publicly funded pensions because if we look back in history, no politician was eligible to receive pensions because the original politicians put their names forward in order to provide a service to the public, without consideration of receiving more than out-of-pocket expenses for their service, and it was for a term or two, but definitely not long term. For Volkow to bring this up appears to be suggesting that municipal politicians should be entitled politicians. As far as I’m concerned, political service should be short term and not made into a career, which is never what it was intended to be. Perhaps we need to take this suggestion off of the table and reaffirm the current policy, and perhaps even reviewing whether politicians at any level should qualify for publicly funded pensions, as well as imposing term-limits on all politicians,

I feel the loss of Heights cherry trees personally Editor: I live in North Burnaby near Boundary and Cambridge. On my way home from work, I noticed that for two blocks north of Cambridge on Boundary all of the beautiful ornamental cherry trees on the Burnaby side of Boundary have been cut down. I phoned Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley and Burnaby director of parks and recreation Dave Ellenwood about this and both expressed sympathy and regret, and advised that the trees had to be cut down to make way for a new sewer line. Ellenwood said he looked for another solution, but that there was nowhere else to put the sewer line as there are a lot of pipes already under the Boundary Road right of way. He also said he signed the removal permits for the trees with great reluctance as he wanted to preserve as many trees as possible. I have accepted this explanation and have a high opinion of both Hurley and Ellenwood, but still feel the loss of the trees personally. Also, it is hard to believe that some other solution couldn’t have been found that would have allowed the sewer line to be installed without destroying those beautiful old trees.

Affordable housing motion met with ‘stone silence’ Coun. Keithley tries to get non-market units added Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby city councillor’s affordable housing proposal was met with “stone silence” last Monday. Coun. Joe Keithley, the only Green Party member on council, introduced a motion to send a condo and townhome development back to staff “to see if some accommodation can be made with the developer to include some non-market housing.” Polygon plans to build a four-storey, 58-unit condo building and 43 townhomes at the corner of Southridge Drive and Byrnepark Drive. The City of Burnaby owns the wooded lot, which will be sold to Polygon once its rezoning has been finalized. City council was set to vote on whether to send the proposal to first reading and a subsequent public hearing before Keithley attempted

to intervene. But his motion was not seconded by any of his council colleagues, meaning it was not discussed or put up for a vote. “I suppose I probably took the other councillors by surprise ... as I was met with stone silence,” Keithley later told the NOW. Keithley said he thought his proposal was reasonable, considering he was only asking for the possibility of non-market housing to be studied. “It wasn’t like it was scuttling the project or throwing a giant wrench in it,” he said. “If we want to create non-market housing (and) rental housing, then we should be looking at every opportunity that’s coming through.” The city owns three more lots in the area it plans to sell to developers. Keithley said he will push for any future developments there to include affordable housing.

“I’m much more hopeful that we’ll actually get some concrete action on this and do something good for the community,” he said. But Coun. Paul McDonell, who was among those who opted not to second Keithley’s motion, said he didn’t think those other lots were good contenders for non-market housing. He said the three lots are smaller and will likely only become home to 30- to 40unit developments, and requiring a non-market element would likely make them unviable for developers. Mayor Mike Hurley has declared a de facto moratorium on new development proposals while his housing task force works on a citywide plan to improve affordability. But, McDonell said, Keithley’s motion came too late in the process, and delaying the project would have been unfair to Polygon.

COURT

Man found asleep in van loses appeal of driving ban Driver passed out in the middle of an intersection Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man found drunk and asleep in a van in the middle of a Burnaby intersection has lost an appeal to have his 90-day driving suspension overturned. At about 7 a.m. on Oct. 14, 2018, Burnaby RCMP responded to reports of a male driver “unconscious” inside a red Dodge Caravan “parked in the middle of the intersection” on Elwell Street and Strathmore Avenue in the Edmonds area, according to court documents. The responding officer reported that she found Dan Shallow sleeping upright in the driver’s seat with the keys in the ignition. When she woke him, she said Shallow appeared “confused” and was “not sure which city he was in or

how he got there.” After being cleared medically by paramedics, he failed a breathalyzer test and was taken to the detachment, where he failed two more tests, registering results of .179 and .169. He was then issued a 90day driving suspension, upheld by an adjudicator a couple of weeks later. Shallow appealed the decision in B.C. Supreme Court, however, arguing he had not been in “care or control” of the van when the officer came upon him because the van’s battery was dead. He said he had been at a funeral the night before and “did not feel impaired” when he left, believing he was “safe to drive,” according to court documents. He said the van broke down in the middle of the intersection and wouldn’t

turn over. He said his phone was also dead, and he couldn’t call for help, so he placed his keys on the passenger seat and went to sleep until the officer woke him. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Paul Riley, however, upheld the suspension, saying it had not been unreasonable for the adjudicator to rule Shallow presented a “realistic risk of danger to public safety” despite his van being inoperable. The adjudicator had found Shallow might have gotten a jump-start and then decided to drive home while still drunk or tried to move the van from the intersection while he was still drunk – either way presenting a risk to public safety. Riley ruled that conclusion was reasonable and dismissed Shallow’s appeal.

Film project makes war real for students

Burnaby high school students get a unique history lesson while making a film about the FirstWorldWar Mario Bartel

editorial@burnabynow.com

It’s raining so hard the young soldiers can barely maintain their footing in the growing rivers of mud. One of them, huddled into a mound of sandbags, uses his jacket to shield the paper upon which he’s writing a letter to his girlfriend back home. His fingers are so cold, they can barely grip the pen. Then Moscrop Secondary student Kim Cleroux yells “cut,” and everyone scrambles for shelter and warmth. Cleroux is the director of a short film produced at the Port Moody Station Museum and its McKnight Centennial trench by 20 to 25 students from several Burnaby high schools enrolled in a special program that gives them an introduction to the local film industry. The film premieres Sunday at the museum follow-

ing a talk at 1 p.m. by local historian John Goheen about the battle at Vimy Ridge. The project is the latest collaboration between the museum and the Burnaby school district.They also produced last year’s Suitcase Project in which students told the stories of immigrants who would have arrived by train at the Port Moody station through the belongings packed in their suitcases. Corine Carey, the head of the social studies department at Burnaby North Secondary School, said the recreation of a First World War trench behind the museum provided the perfect setting to give the film students a chance “to walk a mile in a soldier’s footsteps.” Cleroux, who also wrote the five-minute film, said the location still presented several challenges, like the incursion of traffic noise from nearby roads.

That’s why she developed the idea of telling the story of a young soldier in the trenches through his narration of letters he’s writing to his girlfriend back home. Cleroux said the sense of missing home and loved ones especially resonated with the production team, many of whom are about to graduate and head off to post-secondary studies in other cities and provinces. “We are all teenagers.You have to go with what you know,” she said. Markus Fahrner, a coordinator at the museum, said putting that feeling of detachment and embarking on a new, frightening chapter in the context of trench

warfare helps make that history more real for the young students. “They can’t know war; they need to make their own experiences and judgement calls,” he said. Shooting began last November and took a total of five long, arduous days, both in the museum and in the trench, where it was often cold and raining. The three lead actors and five extras wore historically accurate costumes and 20 other students handled every other aspect of the production, from makeup, lighting, sound, and even security and craft services. “These guys were as professional as a real crew,”

Fahrner said. “It was a proper movie production.” There was even special effects, including a fog machine and black balloons filled with flour and wood

chips that simulated explosions when they were popped in the background. Cleroux said she felt a responsibility to history to make the film look and feel as realistic as possible.

“You have a medium to tell a story and you have to know who needs to hear it,” she said. “That could have been us.” Since shooting wrapped in January, Cleroux has been immersed in post-production, which will continue right up until the eve of the film’s premiere as sound elements are added. Carey said the project has even captured the imagination of her history students who wanted to be a part of it. “You could see the war come to life,” she said. “It’s so much better than reading about it on the page.” – Tri-City News

Communitynow Burnaby teen earns Vimy Pilgrimage Award Desirée Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

David He has become the first-ever Burnaby resident to receive the prestigious Vimy Pilgrimage Award for his commitment and leadership within his community. Established in 2013 and sponsored by Air Canada and Scotiabank, the Vimy Pilgrimage Award is awarded to 20 students from across Canada between 14 and 17 years old who demonstrate an exceptional commitment to volunteer work that benefits their school, community, province or country. The award includes a fully funded week-long educational program from April 2 to 10 in Belgium and France to study Canada’s First World War efforts. Each day, students will visit several First World War sites including museums, cemeteries and historic battlefields. This year’s award was also given to two students from Surrey and one from North Vancouver. Sixteen-year-old He, who

attends Moscrop Secondary School, said he’s extremely passionate about global issues, politics and the world. But it hasn’t always been that way. He said growing up, like many students, he felt indifferent to global issues due to the pressures of school. “We kind of forget about these global issues, we tend to put them off to the side,” He said, adding that academic pressure has caused a mental health problem amongst his generation. It wasn’t until He met teachers at school that talked about their personal stories living in developing countries that he felt inspired to make changes in this community. And he’s been pretty busy since then. At 14 years old, He founded one of B.C.’s largest youth-led organizations, theYoung Humanitarians Foundation (now rebranded as Rehumanity), a network of over 200 high school students that has raised money for campaigns and aspires to make sustainable change in communities.

“I like to believe that my generation, we’re not the leaders of tomorrow, we’re the leaders of today and tomorrow because we can’t be the leaders of tomorrow if we’re not the leaders of today,” He said. He spoke at last year’s TEDxYouth@Steveston event in Richmond, he’s a member of the 637 Arrow Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron and he’s a writer for the United Nations Association in Canada Vancouver and he’s a NationalYouth Advisor for the RCMP. He said one of the global issues that’s close to his heart is climate change, saying that the Rehumanity group is currently working on organizing and hosting a climate strike on May 3. To apply, students were asked to produce several documents – they included a 500-word essay explaining their volunteer work and a 500- to 750-word biography of, and tribute to a soldier or nursing sister. He said he hasn’t met with the other award winners yet but is eager to meet

with the other young Canadians to network and hear their personal perspectives on global issues.

“Once you actually get to see other people’s perspectives, I think it really connects us all to this giant mo-

saic that makes up Canada,” He said.

Shopping locally is not only good for the economic and social sustainability of your community and the businesses that serve it, it’s also better for our planet. It’s important to make sustainability a priority in our consumption habits. With Earth Day on April 22, this is a perfect time to take a look at why buying from small, local shops is better for the environment. Although shopping online might seem harmless, it adds unnecessary carbon emissions because each package that we order makes a “special trip” to reach us, especially those on ex-

press delivery. This is different than shopping at a physical retail store, which receives their inventory in bigger batches, using less fuel to do so than when we custom order our purchases to arrive one by one at our house. Minimize your carbon footprint by going to a neighbourhood that offers a great variety of stores, where you can get all your shopping needs and errands done in one trip. Also, small businesses tend to purchase their products and services locally, further reducing impacts on transportation and air quality.

This “trot” – five kilometres or one kilometrre for kids and families – takes place on a significant date as it is the final day of National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week. “We think it is a perfect

way to close out this week which focuses on the miracle of organ and tissue donation,” Fleming says. The CTA is a registered, charitable organization, comprised of transplant recipients, athletes, health-care professionals, supporters and volunteers “dedicated to promoting healthy, post-transplant living and the benefits of organ and tissue donation,” Fleming says. “These benefits accrue not only to the

recipients but to their families and their communities.They achieve this mandate through public advocacy, educational programs and awareness events such as the Transplant Trot.” For more information on taking part in the event, visit the site’s website at www. transplanttrot.ca/vancouver. – Chris Campbell On the move: Participants in a previous Transplant Trot with Sidney the Kidney.

City now Parenting an anxious child? This funding will help Desirée Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

The provincial government is investing $5.75 million in new and existing programs aimed at supporting the 84,000 young people in B.C. struggling with mental health disorders. Judy Darcy, MLA for New Westminster and minister for Mental Health and Addictions, announced the

investment in Victoria on Friday – with a goal of supporting parents and caregivers of children aged three to 12 years old. Developed by the Canadian Mental Health Association – B.C. Division and B.C. psychologists, the free program, which will open this fall, will work under the existing Confident Parents: Thriving Kids service, a free family-focused and phone-

based coaching service. Previously, CMHA B.C. relied on year-end funding for Confident Parents:Thriving Kids which did not guarantee services to parents would be available year after year. “When a parent reaches out for a help, when a young person speaks their truth and reaches out for help, the last thing they need to hear is ‘take a number,’” Dar-

HALIBUT IS BACK.

cy said. Darcy said that although 50 to 70 per cent of mental illnesses are prevalent in youth before the age of 18, only one in four children are able to receive mental health treatment. Of the total investment, $3 million will go towards launching the new telephone coaching service and $2.7 million will go towards ensuring stable annual

funding for the pre-existing behaviour program, which has helped more than 3,200 families since 2015 and includes a series of six to 14 weekly telephone-coaching sessions using exercises and workbooks. CEO of CMHA B.C., Bev Gutray said the programs will help children grow from adolescents to thriving adults and will provide parents with the infor-

mation and techniques to better assist their families. “By assisting parents to support their children’s mental health early in life, we enhance their ability to thrive across the lifespan,” Gutray said. The new program will include access to educational videos and weekly telephone coaching sessions that will be available starting April 29.

Communitynow PARENTING

It’s not just about daughters: Talk to your sons about consent, too Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When I turned on Thursday night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy (titled: Silent All TheseYears), I anticipated the usual tear-jerking storyline that can be expected each week from the hit drama TV series – the relationship woes and medical mishaps of the show’s main characters. This episode focused on a standalone story that reached beyond the usual – tackling a sensitive subject and leaving a lasting impact on the viewers, writers and even producers of the show. Taking a three-pronged approach, the episode addresses the topic of consent and sexual assault.The spotlight shone specifically on a stunning scene where a team of female doctors and nurses literally stand together to support a sexual

assault victim around, but there was another scene that stuck with me long after the credits rolled. Early on in the episode, Bailey and Ben discover that their son Tuck has just started dating and through various hints in the dialogue, the audience anticipates “the talk” to occur and to be of the usual “the birds and the bees.” In the memorable scene, Ben and his stepson Tuck are sitting together at a cafe counter, sipping on sodas and biting into burgers, when Ben asks Tuck if he knows about consent and what it means.When Tuck shrugs his shoulders and tries to answer the question, Ben responds with an explanation that resonates equally with the boy in the scene and parents who are watching from the other side of the screen. Ben begins with an anecdotal sports scene. He explains how during a game,

the players will be going at it, but when the whistle is blown and a time out occurs, no matter how into the game they are, all play stops. He explains, “No matter how much fun they’re having, everything stops,” and then Ben says, “If she says time out, you time out. No questions asked.That’s con-

If she says time out, you time out.

sent.” He follows that with, “She can change her mind at any time. It’s game over,” explaining that the moment she stops having fun, the fun must stop. As my oldest approaches her teen years, I’ve been careful to caution her about consent, sharing the steps she should take to avoid potentially dangerous situa-

tions – not to be afraid to say “No!” or “Stop!” – to always go to the bathroom with a friend, and to make sure that she listens to her gut when it comes to interacting with her peers in social settings. I keep the conversation open and ongoing because I want to do my best to keep her safe. But what I realized after watching this episode was that I should be having ongoing conversations with my son about consent as well. Whether it’s explaining how to get consent, how to stand up to those who are harassing others, or how to say “No!” in uncomfortable situations, the consent talk is one that we should be having with all of our kids – not just our daughters.

SUMMER CAMPS & ACTIVITIES

5 Reasons why summer camp is good for kids Summer vacation offers students a respite from lessons and the routine of school. Children might once have eagerly awaited those final days of classes so they could lounge poolside, skip rocks across ponds and spend the long days of the season playing with friends. But many of today’s youngsters spend much of their summer vacations indoors playing with their digital devices. Perhaps that’s why one of the last vestiges of the classic summer vacation escape — summer camp — remains such a viable option for parents who want their children to get outdoors once the school year ends.

kids can dabble in sports, arts and crafts, leadership, community support, and so many other activities that may not be fully available to them elsewhere.

2. Physical activity: Lots of camps build their itineraries around physical activities that takes place outdoors. Campers may spend their time swimming,

running, hiking, playing sports, climbing, and so much more. This can be a welcome change for kids accustomed to living sedentary lifestyles. Regular physical activity has many health benefits and can set a foundation for healthy habits as an adult.

3. Gain confidence. Day and sleepaway camps offer

campers the opportunity to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in self-esteem by removing the academic measures of success and fill in with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed. Campers learn independence, decisionmaking skills and the ability to thrive outside of the shadow of their parents,

siblings or other students.

4. Try new things. Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that’s learning to cook, exploring new environments or embracing a new sport or leisure activity. Opening oneself up to new opportunities can build character and prove enlightening for children.

5. Make new friends. Camp is a great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Campers flood in from areas near and far. This provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools.

Although kids needn’t be in camp all summer long, a week or two can benefit campers of all ages. The following are five reasons why summer camp might be the right fit this year. 1. Explore talents. Summer camps help young people explore their unique interests and talents. Under an organized, yet often easygoing, camp schedule,

Artsnow Join in this dance collaboration A performance that pairs community members with professional dancers is part of International Day of Dance celebrations at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. Kinesis Dance Somatheatro, a Vancouver-based company devoted to contemporary dance and physical theatre, is presenting The Nelken Line Vancouver Project. Artistic director Paras Terezakis will lead the performance by 20 dancers paired with 20 novice community performers. The performance is happening twice: on Granville Island on Sunday, April 28 at noon, then outside the Shadbolt Centre in Burnaby on Monday, April 29 at noon. The project came about thanks to an effort by the Pina Bausch Foundation to keep the choreographic legacy of Bausch alive. Bausch, a German-born choreographer, was regarded as the “high priestess” of dance theatre from the 1970s until her death in 2009. “In high contrast to the cool experimental dance

work of her time, Pina’s works delved deeply into the human condition and often explored themes of desire, love, illusion, disappointment and obsession, embracing both the heights and the hell of human nature,” says a press release. After her death, the dancers from her Tanztheater Wuppertal kept the company together to perform her repertoire. In 2017, the Pina Bausch Foundation sent an invitation worldwide to “join The Nelken Line” – one of Bausch’s works, also known as The Seasons or The Carnation Line. “Lines” – sequences of movement with repetitive steps and gestures that the dancers perform standing in a long queue – are a recurring element in many of her works. In The Nelken Line, there are four distinct gestures that represent the alternation of the four seasons. The foundation asks that those who take up the Nelken Line challenge make a video of their live event that can then be shared by the foundation and enjoyed by

people around the world. Local arts producer Carolyn Lair saw the invitation and thought it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate Bausch and feature the talents of local dancers, performers and media artists. She took the idea to Terezakis, who invited media artist Sammy Chien and scenographer Andreas Kahre to join the project. Conductor Tim Sars is also on board; he will lead the Vancouver Carnival Band in playing the Nelken Line theme, Louis Armstrong’s West End Blues. No dance experience is

necessary for any community performers who’d like to join in; the company is reaching out in particular to new immigrants and people with disabilities. Community performers must register by Friday, April 5 and take part in orientation and rehearsals prior to the event. They’re also required to be on site from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the day of performance. For full performer details, see www.kinesisdance.org/ the-nelken-line-vancouver.

Can Burnaby walk all over New West?

taylorandblair.com

The two cities are facing off in theWalk30 challenge once again Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Burnaby and New Westminster are once again going toe to toe for a golden shoe in the Walk30 challenge. This year marks the second time the neighbouring cities have taken part in the Walk30 Burnaby/New West challenge to promote walking as a convenient form of transportation and to encourage people to rethink how they get around in their communities.The goal is to encourage students and community members to walk 30 minutes a day, which can be split up throughout the day or done at once. “The very first year we held the competition it was just a New West thing.The second year we got a big grant from Fraser Health and we were able to expand into Burnaby.This year, Burnaby is on board again, so it’s a competition between New Westminster

and Burnaby,” said Reena Meijer Drees, a member of the New Westminster Walkers Caucus. “We have an official trophy now, which is a spray-painted gold shoe.” The challenge is divided into two divisions – a schools division and a community division, with the community winner being selected on a per capita basis because New Westminster’s population is much less than Burnaby. “The trophy was for the community division – New West won that,” said Meijer Drees.”The school piece was won by Burnaby handily.” During the five-week challenge, people track the number of minutes they walk, but there’s no need to walk long distances or to walk every day. “You get to choose which city you want your minutes to go to – Burnaby or New West,” said Meijer Drees. “You don’t have to live or work in these cities.We have got people who have signed

up, friends from across the country – there’s one team called Team Come from Away; they have a bunch of people out on the East Coast and they are contributing to New Westminster points.” Officials from New Westminster and Burnaby gathered for a media launch of this year’s challenge on April 2 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. “Taking the steps toward a healthier lifestyle is a great move for personal health and helps keep the air clean, too,” Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley said in a press release. “I hope everyone finds a way to fit more walking into their days.” Between April 8 and May 10, registered participants will track and share their walking minutes online. Last year, more than 3,200 people tracked nearly 700,000 minutes of walking over the five-week challenge, for an average of 27 minutes a day. Burnaby had about 2,388 participants who

walked 324,402 minutes and New Westminster had about 874 participants who walked 362,198 minutes – with New West winning the Walk30 Challenge Cup. Aside from bragging rights, Hurley issued another challenge to New Westminster at Tuesday’s launch, with the mayor of the “losing” city having to serve a meal at a location of the other’s choosing. If New Westminster wins the community challenge, Hurley will serve a meal at the Union Gospel Mission in New West; if Burnaby wins, New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote will serve lunch at South Burnaby Neighbourhood House. Schools, companies and organizations are invited to form classroom or staff teams and challenge other teams to see who can walk more.

Entertainment now Burnaby cook makes the MasterChef Canada cut where spicy, sweet, salty and bitter meet, as she describes it – to a Canadian audience. “I watch the show every season, and I just felt like Canada needs to see a different flavour profile that they haven’t seen before,” she said. Huynh applied for the show after last season and got the call to audition in Vancouver.The moment when she found out she’d made the cut for the top 18 is one she’ll never forget – she was just grocery shopping with her daughters when her ordinary day became, well, extraordinary. “It was so surreal,” she says. “Honestly, I just needed a moment to soak it in. … Before, it was me imagining it, and now it was the reality.” She admits she was, at first, reluctant to take time out of her family’s life to compete in the show. She has four children – aged 17, 16, 14 and 13 – and she struggled with feeling guilty about leaving them and scared about the whole idea. “The thought of being on TV scared me, and it real-

If her parents had just packed sandwiches for her school lunches, Lena Huynh’s story might be very different. “I grew up being embarrassed about the foods my parents would pack for me for lunch,” Huynh recalls. Huynh is a first-generation Asian-Canadian; her mother is from Laos, and Huynh was born in a refugee camp in Thailand. She was 10 months old when her parents left Southeast Asia for Canada in search of freedom, opportunity and the Canadian dream. Fast-forward to 2019, and Huynh is about to showcase her family background for the entire nation to see – in culinary form, as one of the selected top 18 contestants on the new season of MasterChef Canada.The popular reality TV cooking competition returns to the air starting Monday, April 8 on CTV. Huynh is passionate about the chance to show Southeast Asian food –

ly just pushed me out of my comfort zone,” Huynh admits. It was her children who talked her into it. “My daughter said, ‘Mom, you need to believe in yourself like we believe in you,’” Huynh says. Huynh’s family reminded her, too, that it was time for her to do something for herself.

technician – a career she says allows her to express her creativity in other ways – Huynh has always kept food as a huge part of her life. For both Huynh and her husband, who’s a butcher, food has always been front of mind, and they’ve always had the dream to one day open a café together. Over the years, as her children reached school age, Huynh spent many hours cooking during the day, honing her techniques and working on recipes to share their families’ cultural heritage – her own, and her husband’s Vietnamese background. “In our culture we express our love through food. How we show it is by preparing food together and sharing it,” Huynh says. “Food really does bring us together.” Huynh is well-known in her family and friend circle as the go-to person for good food. “Everybody has always been telling me, ‘You need to open up your own restaurant,’” she says. Continued on page 30

Food really does bring us together Pursuing her culinary dreams has long been on Huynh’s mind. She married her high school sweetheart at the age of 20 and got pregnant, but after a subsequent miscarriage decided to apply to the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts. Before her school term started, however, she found out she was pregnant again – and she never did go to culinary school. With a day job as a lash

Burnaby performers in Singin’ in the Rain

The Royal City Musical Theatre is singin’ and dancin’ its way into its 30th anniversary this year. The company returns to the Massey Theatre stage with Singin’ in the Rain, running April 4 to 20. Director and choreographer Valerie Easton chose the classic musical as the company’s 30th anniversary production because she wanted to present a play that had not been done by the company before and that was full of fun. “It’s a show I really wanted to do for a while. It just seemed like the perfect fit for the 30th anniversary,” Easton said. The theatre group was established in 1990 by a group of parents and a popular high school drama teacher, Ed Harrington, with the intent of bringing a musical theatre production to the Massey Theatre stage. The company has put on a production every year since and has earned several awards over the years, including the 2018 Ovation Award for outstanding community production of a musical. Easton, who has been the company’s artistic director since 2010, said the company has worked with theatre enthusiasts from across the Lower Mainland, adding the group provides people with a great opportunity to work alongside

Entertainmentnow Open mic nights celebrate one-year anniversary A year ago, local musician Robert Stewart partnered with Burnaby Neighbourhood House to start up a monthly open mic night series at the organization’s community hall. One year later, the open mic nights are going strong – and the group is hosting a celebratory event tonight (Thursday, April 4) to mark its one-year anniversary. The community event has been growing in popularity each month since it kicked off on April 5, 2018. “Over the past year, the Burnaby Neighbourhood

House community open mic has had singers from the local community come and perform on stage a selection of music types: everything from barbershop quartets to pop to country to folk music,” says a press release about the event. “We have also had poetry reads. Everyone gets time on stage, and it’s a real family event.” The open mic is open to all performers, aged 14 and older, who want to share their talents – singers, instrumentalists, comedians, poets, spoken word artists and more.

She admits it was daunting to head to the MasterChef Canada kitchen – overseen by chef-judges Michael Bonacini, Alvin Leung and Claudio Aprile, all highly esteemed in the food industry. “I was intimidated, but my excitement overtook that,” she says. “Just being there, the excitement took over.” To surround herself with like-minded people – other home cooks who love cooking as much as she does – inspired her to keep getting better. “All of us are self-taught home cooks who live and

But Huynh will say that viewers will be in for one amazing ride. “The talent that is on there is just unbelievable,” she says. “You guys are in for a treat this season.” MasterChef Canada’s sixth season kicks off Monday,April 8 on CTV.

Business now Hemlock Printers honours founder’s legacy Cayley Dobie

MOVERS & SHAKERS

cdobie@burnabynow.com

The owners of a wellknown Burnaby printing company are honouring its founder’s legacy with help from Simon Fraser University. Hemlock Printers was started in 1968 by Dick Kouwenhoven. He led the Burnaby-based company from a 600-square-foot store front to the 75,000 sq. ft. facility that exists today and became known as a trail blazer in Canada’s printing industry. Kouwenhoven ran the company for almost 50 years. He died in April 2017 from esophageal cancer. In recognition of his contribution to the printing industry, his family is donating funds to open the Dick Kouwenhoven Book Arts Studio at SFU. “Dick was a visionary leader and a true entrepreneur who, throughout his career, was dedicated to the craft of print,” Richard

Kouwenhoven, current president of Hemlock Printers, said in a press release. “He was passionate about the business and most of all its roots – typesetting and letterpress, where his career began.This gift from our family to the SFU Library will help achieve one of his greatest passions, sharing his love of print and the unique beauty that it conveys.” The studio will be a hands-on space for “education and activities designed to inspire university and community members with the same enthusiasm for books, book-making and print culture that Kouwenhoven was known for,” according to a press release from the company. The Dick Kouwenhoven Book Arts Studio is slated to open in 2021.

In the next year Canada will introduce 5G, the next generation of cellular mobile communications to vastly improve data usage, save energy, reduce costs, and enable businesses and consumers massive connectivity. But the country is embroiled in a debate on who should provide the technology, what national security considerations are necessary, and how Canada can ensure it does not lose pace with the rest of the world. Our panel discussion investigates the issues.

It’s not a premonition but a signal that others see the potential. The Burnaby South Rebels enter the senior boys basketball off-season as the No. 1-ranked team for the 2019-20 season, in a poll by varsityletters.ca. Being positioned as the top seed prior to the start of the season is nothing new – last year the Rebels were also situated first, after winning the 2018 B.C. 4-A championship banner. Burnaby South coach Mike Bell is pleased to see his players get the early recognition and also sees the notification as an extra motivator in keeping the momentum going during the long off-season. “It’s exciting and recognition for the guys we have coming back (next season),” remarked

Play

Bell. “We know what that pressure is like from last year, and I think it’s something that can be helpful in preparing for the season to come.” Although Burnaby South fell short of defending its title, dropping a 75-64 decision to Lord Tweedsmuir in the semifinal and finishing third overall, the club’s foundation remains strong. That’s due to a solid returning core, beginning with six-foot-10 centre Sasha Vujisic, who missed the team’s final two games after suffering an injury in the quarterfinals. The projected lineup also runs out all-star Grade 10 Justin Sunga, a dynamic guard with one year of senior already under his belt, as well as fellow guard Matthew Pineda and junior standouts Karan Aujla and Jareb Pineda, who were big parts of a B.C. junior championship in February.

Throw in guard Emir Krupic, who was ruled ineligible for the 2018 season after returning to the school in January after schooling in Washington State, and you have the nucleus that will build big expectations in the coming months. Despite losing elite contributors like guards Kyle Kirmaci, Jiordano Khan and Baltej Sohal and six-foot-eight Aidan Wilson, the program is not shying away from the weight of others’ gaze. “We want to keep building on what we’ve done the past three years,” said Bell. “It’s kind of helped us as we’ve set high standards and players have risen to be a part of it.” Bell says that the club will be applying to have Krupic reinstated to play at the beginning of the 2019-20 season and is already kicking off spring league action this week. “It’s kind of a trend now, you

want to keep that energy going and not let the guys get too away from those good training habits.”

Burnaby’s Marcus Vela has made a quick jump from collegiate hockey to the pro ranks. The Burnaby Minor Hockey product inked a deal last week with the San Jose Barracuda of the American Hockey League, the top farm team of the San Jose Sharks. A seventh round pick of the Sharks in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft,Vela’s signing gives the Sharks a chance to evaluate the former University of New Hampshire captain without using up one of their 50 allotted cards. The 24-year-old Vela made his AHL debut on March 27 in San Diego.Two nights later in San Jose, the winger recorded his first pro point, an assist, on Antti Suomela’s goal in the final minute of a 5-0 win over the Ontario Reign. In the team’s next game, the six-foottwo forward recorded two shots on net and picked up his second assist, this time three minutes into the second period on Matt Fonteyne’s tally that gave the Barracuda a 1-0 lead over the Pacific Divisionleading Bakersfield Condors. San Jose, which sits second in the division with a 35-20-3-4 record, won the game 4-2. Over a four-year-long career in New Hampshire,Vela tallied 58 points, including 24 goals over 135 games, and was the team’s captain during the past season. Prior to that, he played two seasons with the B.C. Hockey League’s Langley Rivermen. HELEWKA HELPS PILOT ADMIRALS PLAYOFF RUN The Milwaukee Admirals continue to keep their playoff drive alive, thanks to the contributions of Burnaby’s Adam Helewka. Fresh off of signing a one-year contract with the Nashville Predators just five weeks ago, the Burnaby Winter Club product has put up the points as a member of their AHL farm team. A fourth-round draft pick of the San Jose Sharks in 2015, Helewka began the season with Arizona’s top farm team in San Antonio, before getting dealt to Milwaukee in February. He immediately paid dividends, racking up seven points in his first seven games in Wisconsin. During the recent three-game win streak, Helewka collected an assist in each game. He has already set a new personal mark with 18 goals and 45 points over 60 games.

Canadians to take on England

BURNABY CONTENT: The Canadian women’s national

team, including locals Christine Sinclair, at left, and Julia Grosso, will be in uniform Friday in an exhibition game against England.

Canada Soccer has named the 23 players who will make up Canada Soccer’s women’s national team roster for the April 5 international friendly against England in Manchester, England. The Tier 1 match will feature two of the world’s top teams, with Canada currently fifth in the FIFA Women’s world ranking and England one spot ahead in the fourth position. It’s been nearly four years since England and Canada met in the quarterfinal of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, with Canada looking to turn the sour memory of a 2-1 loss into motivation in preparation for this year’s World Cup. Canada is led by Burnaby’s Christine Sinclair, who is poised to play in her 279th game for the national women’s senior team.The Burnaby South alumna sits five goals back of international all-time goal scorer Abby Wambach, with 179 tallies for Canada. The Canadian roster also includes Vancouver White-

caps Girls Elite REX products Jordyn Huitema, of Chilliwack, and Jade Riviere, a Markham, Ont. native, both 17 and who attend Burnaby Central Secondary as part of the REX program, and Julia Grosso, a Vancouver native and alumna of both the Burnaby Girls’ and Cliff Av-

enue soccer clubs. “We know England is a very good opponent and they will want to put on their best performance at home, so this is an ideal moment to test what we have been working on as we prepare for France,” said Canadian women’s head coach Kenneth Heiner-Moller.

“We remain focused on improving ourselves, our processes and tactics, to peak in June, but we know heading into England that this match will be the kind of competition we should be preparing for.” Canada has played England 12 times, posting a 5-7 record.

Metro Vancouver’s March home sales lowest in 33 years Falling home sales in Metro Vancouver are “largely policy induced” and policymakers are “using policy to delay housing demand and feeding disruptive cycles,” according to the new president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).

have been so well-documented in our region.”

Issuing its monthly market statistics April 2, the REBGV reported that there were just 1,727 home sales in March 2019, which is 31.4 per cent year over year decline, and 46.3 per cent below the 10-year average for the month. It’s also the lowest number of March home sales since 1986.

Sales and prices by property type and area

However, the sales total is higher than one monthly previously, up 16.4 per cent from the 1,484 homes sold in February, which is typical for this time of year. “Housing demand today isn’t aligning with our growing economy and low unemployment rates. The market trends we’re seeing are largely policy induced,” said Ashley Smith, the new REBGV president. “What policymakers are failing to recognize is that demand-side measures don’t eliminate demand, they sideline potential home buyers in the short term. Using public policy to delay local demand in the housing market just feeds disruptive cycles that

The benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver stands at $1,011,200, which is a 7.7 per cent drop from March 2018, and a 0.5 per cent slide in the month since February 2019. There were 529 sales of Metro Vancouver detached homes in March, which is a 26.7 per cent year over year decline, but an 18.1 per cent rise compared with February this year. The benchmark price for a detached home in the region is $1,437,100, which is 10.5 per cent lower then March 2018, and a 0.4 per cent decrease from February 2019. Burnaby’s detached home price declines straddled the regional trend, with the city’s three areas seeing prices fall between 7.7 and 11.8 per cent. Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam detached houses also declined around the regional trend, down 10.0 and 10.4 per cent respectively, while Port Moody house prices fared a little better, dropping 5.5 per cent year over year. Attached homes such as townhouses, duplexes and rowhomes saw a fairly dismal 325

A typical attached home price is now pegged at $783,600, six per cent lower than in March 2018, and a 0.7 per cent decrease compared with February. Benchmark attached home prices fell the most in Vancouver East (East Side and Downtown East), at 9.6 per cent lower than a year ago, followed by Port Coquitlam (-8.6 per cent) and Coquitlam (-7.4 per cent). Townhome prices in Burnaby North fell 3.7 per cent year over year, and 5.8 per cent in Burnaby South. Some 873 Metro Vancouver condos exchanged hands last month, a 35.3 per cent decrease compared with one year previously but a 15 per cent rise from February’s figure. The benchmark price of a condo now stands at $656,900, which is 5.9 per cent less than March 2018, and a slight drop of 0.5 per cent from February 2019.
