Housing activists rallied in Burnaby Saturday in solidarity with an international movement to combat “rent insanity.” The protesters heeded a call from Mietenwahnsinn in Berlin.The German ac-

tivists are leading a movement calling for 200,000 rental apartments to be expropriated and brought under government control. “This really resonated with the work we do in Burnaby, because one of the main issues in the housing crisis is the overwhelming power of landlords over

ers with tallies of the number of units demolished and people displaced. They also posted signage shaming the developers for displacing people, including slogans such as “Our communities are not commodities.” According to Stop Demovictions Burnaby, Sat-

urday’s rally was one of 40 such demonstrations worldwide staged in solidarity with the German activists. Mietenwahnsinn is pushing for a referendum in Berlin that, if passed, would see any landlord with more than 3,000 apartments lose their properties to the city, Reuters reports.

Forest paradise destroyed without consultation Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A little patch of forest in the city is gone. A crew of loggers clearcut a five-acre lot near Deer Lake late last month to make way for a planned sixhouse subdivision. Kerry Tatelman, who has lived next door for 20 years, said the trees have provided a quiet sanctuary. The recently retired commodities trader said he bought his home in large part due to the connection to nature it provided while keeping him close to work inVancouver. He said the little forest next door was home to raccoons, coyotes, owls and other birds. Last year,Tatelman said, a road was cleared through the trees to move a heritage home off the lot.Then, a couple weeks ago, another crew came in and started cutting down almost every tree on the lot, including some he estimates to have been more than 100 years old. The clearing came without warning or consultation, he said. “Obviously, I don’t want this kind of decimation to occur, but it’s their right to do it because it’s their property,”Tatelman said. “But I don’t think it’s their right

NO MORE TREES: Burnaby resident Kerry Tatelman says neighbours should have been consulted before trees were clear-cut. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER to do it unilaterally with no public consult.” Because the planned six single-family homes conform to the lot’s existing zoning, there was no rezoning process that would have included a public hearing

where neighbours like Tatelman could have expressed their concerns. “There would and there should be a public (consultation), and that isn’t to say it wouldn’t end up exactly the same, but at least I

would be able to gripe and say ‘Well, wait a minute, you’re devaluing my way of life; you’re devaluing my property and the properties of my neighbours for your benefit,’” he said. Tatelman said he expects

to be subjected to five years of loud construction activity just outside his bedroom window, but he instead plans to move with his wife and son. He’s not confident he’ll find another home nearby with a similar con-

nection to nature. “If I want to replicate this kind of environment, maybe I have to go to Hope,” he said. The City of Burnaby did not respond to an interview request by deadline.

Council trims free golf, but three councillors opposed

Bike cops arrest shoplifter, find out he’s wanted

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby city council voted Monday to slash a controversial program that allows some local politicians and volunteers to golf for free. The proposal to shrink the fee-waiver program first came to council at a March 28 meeting but was tabled following a motion from Coun. Paul McDonell. He said he wanted staff to survey surrounding municipalities to see whether they had similar programs. Of the seven cities with municipally owned golf courses surveyed, none offered similar waivers. Burnaby’s fee-waiver program offers free access to its leisure facilities, including recreation centres, pools

and its two golf courses: Burnaby Mountain and Riverway. Past and present members of council and the parks, recreation and culture commission, as well as current school board trustees, library board members and freemen are included in the program. The proposed changes would discontinue the program for past mayors and councillors, former parks commissioners and all members of the school and library boards.The changes would also see fee waivers capped at $1,500 per person annually, replacing a $55,000 annual cap currently in place for the entire program. Both McDonell and Coun. Colleen Jordan said on Monday they were worried about cutting the pro-

gram for library and parks board members, who are unpaid volunteers. The two councillors said they hoped staff would have presented a more fulsome report comparing responsibilities and benefits in other cities. McDonell said there had been a “breakdown in communications” with the city’s director of parks. “We just wanted to be fair, to look at what our commissioners have to do and what responsibilities they have,” he said. The report recommending changes to the waiver program passed with McDonell, Jordan and Coun. Dan Johnston opposed. If the bylaw changes pass final adoption at a future council meeting, they will come into effect in 2020.

Burnaby bike cops got a little help from the public apprehending a suspected shoplifter who turned out to be wanted on warrants for assault with a weapon and breaking a probation order. Burnaby RCMP bike members were conducting patrols around Northgate Village mall when they saw a scuffle by the Shoppers Drug Mart, according Burnaby RCMP. Staff members there were trying to stop two men, suspected of shoplifting, from leaving the store, police said. With help from a member of the public, officers detained one of the men, a 23-year-old from Port Coquitlam, but the other man fled. The detained man was found to have outstanding warrants for assault with a weapon and for failing to comply with a probation order. He now faces additional charges for assault, aiding

Gulbrandsen was charged Friday in connection with the incident on Feb. 2. He turned himself in that same day, according to police, after security images of him were released to the public. Police originally recommended a charge of sexual interference, but he has

now been charged with one count of sexual assault. Metro Vancouver Transit Police said a suspect allegedly touched the girl’s buttocks before getting off the train at the Production Way station in Burnaby. Gulbrandsen appeared in Vancouver court Tuesday. He is due back on May 7.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

The real Trudeau scandal involves climate change

It really seemed like Justin Trudeau’s political future was in peril this time. This scandal was too massive.The implications were too damaging for too many Canadians. No politician – no matter how wily or photogenic – could avoid the repercussions. Or so we thought. The real scandal, with all due respect to the intrigue of SNC-Lavalin, is Canada’s inaction on climate change – something that

impacts all of us. Shortly after a federal report illustrated that Canada could see 10 times as many deadly heat waves, twice as many extreme rainstorms, and the loss of our permafrost due to climate change, we heard even more alarming noise from Canada’s Environment Commissioner Julie Gelfand. In short, Gelfand pointed out that while the climate is changing, we aren’t. We aren’t on track to reach our 2030 green-

house gas emission targets. We aren’t doing all we can to promote investment in clean energy. And, according to the International Institute for Sustainable Development, Canada is still offering more than $1.2 billion in subsidies to fossil fuel companies. On top of that is the $4.5 billion the federal government paid for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project that terminates in Burnaby.That’s just a

minimum figure as analysts say the true costs will be billions of dollars more. We’re like a condemned man offering to help pay for the cost of the rope. And so we waited for an ambitious politician to use that scandal to further their own political ambitions. Instead, we were treated to a succession of ridiculous selfies of politicians at gas pumps, advising Canadians to fill their tanks before the carbon tax came into effect.That tax – which puts

a price on pollution - was previously assailed for not altering behaviour enough. Conservative leader Andrew Scheer vowed to scrap what he dubbed an unfair tax. What he failed to offer was any sort of real solution or platform. Instead, he stooped low to actually hold a press conference in front of a gas station. As for federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, he is opposed to the Trans Mountain project and has

an ambitious plan to fight climate change. Then again, he also supports a massive LNG project in our province that even his party’s own candidate, Svend Robinson, thinks is a climate disaster so we’re not giving him too much praise right now. Our nation and our world are in the midst of a crisis. We need real leadership on this issue and, so far, we’re not getting it from the prime minister.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

UCP win could be bad news for B.C.

As the Trudeau government continues to implode and a radical rightwing populist appears to be poised to take over the government right next door, you can forgive B.C. Premier John Horgan if he is getting a bit apprehensive about what kind of relationship his government may have with future counterparts. If the federal Liberals lose and Conservative leader Andrew Scheer forms government, it could be a major setback in B.C.-Ottawa relations. Throw in the scenario that sees United Conservative Leader Jason Kenney win the Alberta election this month and the electoral map would show the BC NDP up against a wall of right-wing governments stretching to the Maritimes. This bloc of right-wing conservativism could have serious implications for a number of issues, not the least of which is fighting climate change. While the BC NDP is by far the greenest ruling party in the country, a string of governments that do not share its priorities when it comes to fighting climate change may frustrate many of its goals. For example, should Scheer and Kenney both form government, B.C. will likely be the only jurisdiction with a carbon tax (and an ever-increasing one at that).That could have significant repercussions on B.C. remaining economically competitive with other provinces. As well, you can bet on Scheer and Kenney (aided to no small degree by Sas-

katchewan Premier Scott Moe) aggressively pushing the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to completion. Kenney, in particular, has vowed a form of aggression on B.C. if the pipeline is not built. Kenney has threatened to include various options, including literally “turning off the taps” of Alberta oil sent into B.C. If you think the price at the pump is high now, just wait to see what would happen if a Kenneyled government reduced the amount of oil flowing into this province. While Kenney, being a next-door neighbour, is potentially the biggest disrupter of the B.C. economy, the NDP government’s relationship with the federal government is in most ways more important. As I have noted here before,Trudeau and Horgan have forged some kind of bromance that is paying off impressively for B.C., particularly when it comes to jointly building infrastructure, such as the Broadway subway line and whatever transit line is eventually built in Surrey. It is hard to see Horgan have as strong a relationship with Scheer.This partly explains why I keep picking up from NDP caucus members a nervous apprehension about what is going on in Ottawa right now. Having Kenney as a belligerent neighbour seems a foregone conclusion, but it seems to me that many New Democrats are cheering Trudeau to hang on and win again. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

Cutting trees not an easy decision, says city

Editor: Re: Resident livid as city cuts down trees, NOW, March 28 Recently, the City of Burnaby had to remove six cherry trees from a stretch of Boundary Road in Burnaby Heights. This was not a decision we made lightly. We recognize the significant enjoyment and value trees provide. Unfortunately, this particular corridor is very narrow with many existing utilities, including two large Metro Vancouver water mains. To do the water line replacement and sewer separation project, we had no alternatives to shift the alignment. I want to assure people that when work finishes later this year we will be planting new cherry trees. As a city, we place a high priority on trees and green space. We have a robust tree bylaw. When a tree is cut down it must be replaced with one, two or three new trees depending upon the diameter of the tree removed. This applies on both public and private land. Since 2015, City of Burnaby forestry division staff has planted more than 9,000 trees. That’s roughly equal to all the boulevard trees in the northwest part of the city, north of Highway 1 and west of Sperling Avenue. And in terms of green space, residents can be proud of the fact that Burnaby is one of the greenest cities in Canada. Protected green space covers more than 25 per cent of the city, totaling 2,400 hectares (6,000

acres). That’s six times the size of Stanley Park. Some residents said we could have done a better job communicating about the work and the tree removal. This is valuable feedback, which we will take to heart as we seek to improve how we communicate and engage with residents on things that affect them. Leon Gous, director of engineering, City of Burnaby

Better ways to spend tax dollars than on subsidies Editor: Re: BC NDP are hypocrites on LNG, but that’s not such a bad thing, NOW Opinion, April 1 Until I get a sustainable, acceptable answer to my question, I will continue to ask: “Where does it say that people must work in fossil fuel extraction industries?” In his column, Keith Baldrey declares that the provincial NDP was OK to switch gears and propose subsidies to the LNG companies. He admittedly does a good spin to justify their position, citing the usual political excuse: jobs, jobs, jobs. But no convoluted justification in the world will ever make their decision any more palatable. It’s more than well-known that there is so much more that such subsidy money must be spent on – renewables, electric transportation, etc. As a well-read “chief political correspondent,” Baldrey must do better than this.

Man jailed one year for renting Burnaby stash houses for gang Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

An intermediary who rented stash houses and safe houses for a gang involved in the Lower Mainland drug trade has been handed a one-year jail sentence. Ranbir Kang of North Vancouver pleaded guilty in November 2018 to knowingly contributing to the activities of a criminal organization by arranging the rental of five or six apartments in Burnaby,Vancouver and Richmond for the Kang group. The Red Scorpionslinked gang was controlled by his younger cousins, Sameet Kang, Gary Kang, and until his death, Randy Kang, according to B.C. Provincial Court documents. The stash houses were used for storing and mixing drugs, and the safe houses were occupied by gang members. The monthly cost of rent-

ing the suites was $28,355, and Kang pocketed an additional $4,000 per month, according to court documents. Along with renting the suites, Kang ensured drugs and drug-processing equipment were kept out of view and odours were covered up. He also rented furniture to make the apartments look lived-in. Kang also provided advice on how a gang member could enter a suite to avoid police detection. On one occasion, for example, a gang member believed police had identified a stash house on Royal Oak Avenue and that the building was under surveillance. Kang instructed the gang member to bring a change of clothes to the building, access the suite via the stairwell, change his clothes in the stairwell and remove everything from the suite, according to court documents. The details of Kang’s involvement were revealed

during wiretapped conversation between him and gang member Jitesh Vagh, after police started investigating the gang in 2017. There was no evidence Kang participated directly in the preparation, packaging or distribution of drugs. “Nevertheless, the evidence is clear, Mr. Kang knew that the suites were for the drug business and that the drug business was on the larger scale,” B.C. Provincial Court Judge Reginald Harris said in a sentencing ruling Monday. Harris said a sentence served in the community would not be a deterrent. “On a local level, the spread of violence and drugs by organized groups must be stopped,” he said. “A step in this direction is to impose a sentence indicating that those who aid criminal organizations will receive harsh penalties.” He sentenced Kang to a year in jail and ordered him to provide a DNA sample.

Man who harassed ex-wife on revenge website arrested again Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby man who spent time in jail for criminally harassing his ex-wife through thousands of emails and a revenge website has been arrested for breaching his probation. Starting in early 2014, Patrick Fox set out on a campaign to make the life of his ex-wife, Desiree Capuano “as miserable as possible, hoping to drive her to suicide if that could be done within the confines of the law,” according to B.C. Supreme Court documents.

He created a website in her name, posting private information about her and people associated with her, maligning her as a white supremacist, drug addict and child abuser. “Mr. Fox tormented Ms. Capuano in every way he could, taking considerable time and effort to do so,” stated a Nov. 10, 2017 sentencing decision by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes. A jury found Fox guilty in June 2017 of criminal harassment and weapons charges. (Fox had shipped four handguns, ammunition

and a disassembled Mauser rifle illegally to the U.S., where Capuano lives.) He was sentenced to three years and 10 months in jail, minus just over two years for time served. He was also given three years’ probation with specific conditions. Fox has been charged with breaching those conditions. He was arrested for failing to report to a probation officer, for leaving B.C. without permission and for getting within 100 metres of the U.S. border, according to documents filed in B.C. Provincial Court.

Bush ﬁre starts near homeless camp Burnaby firefighters were called to a grass and bush fire near a homeless camp by Highway 1 Saturday. Crews were called just after 7 p.m. to a fire on the north side of the freeway between Douglas Road and Willingdon Avenue.

“It was just a bunch of the grass in the area in a homeless camp,” assistant fire Chief Stew Colborne said. Firefighters contained the fire and searched for anyone who might have been hurt but found no one, he said.

Crews then soaked the area around the blaze and put it out with foam. “We do get called there because they have little campfires going to cook their food and then we get reports of smoke in the area,” Colborne said.

Friends stunned by killing of Burnaby mom

Jane Seyd

editorial@burnabynow.com

A childhood friend of a Burnaby woman identified as the victim of a shooting in NorthVancouver says friends are shocked and at a loss to understand why someone targeted her for killing. “A lot of people are devastated,” said Diana Paredes, who went to Thunderbird Elementary School in EastVancouver with Ngoc Mai (Anita) Nguyen. “I cried a lot this morning.” On Tuesday, police investigators announced that Nguyen, 32, had died of her injuries after being shot in a parking lot behind businesses in the 1100 block of Lonsdale Avenue on April 2. Nguyen was a single mother of a three-year-old daughter. Police have said the shooting was targeted and have appealed for help from Nguyen’s friends and anyone who knew her movements in the days and hours

before the shooting. So far, no arrests have been made. Homicide investigators are looking for any video footage that might help them find out who shot Nguyen. Police say Nguyen was driving herVolkswagen Passat to her workplace on Lonsdale Avenue the day the shooting took place. Investigators are now looking for anyone with dashcam video or any other type of video footage of the area of the shooting between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. on April 2. “Detectives continue to relentlessly pursue Anita Nguyen’s killer, and we need the community to partner with us in solving her murder,” IHIT Cpl. Frank Jang stated in a press release. “She was a young mother, and we are working hard to find answers for her family.” Paredes said she can’t imagine who would want to kill her friend. She described Nguyen as a “really

sweet” person who was “up for anything” and loyal to her friends. “She would have your back every time if she knew somebody upset you. She would make things right,” said Paredes. “I remember her being pretty level-headed. She had a pretty strong

personality. She was pretty assertive.” Nguyen was a fitness enthusiast, a good cook who liked to make healthy meals, and a “really great mother,” said Paredes. Thinking about the little girl has been the hardest for those who knew her,

she said. “Everyone’s really concerned about her daughter.When you think of her daughter, how can you not cry? She doesn’t have a mother anymore.” Paredes, who has moved from the Lower Mainland, said she was supposed to meet up with Nguyen for a

meal of pho when she visitedVancouver two weeks ago, but the two weren’t able to connect. Nguyen was said to be working for a NorthVancouver food preparation business that operates out of the back of one of the businesses in the Masonic Temple building and delivers throughout the Lower Mainland.The back door of that business opens on to the parking lot where Nguyen was shot. Some of the businesses in the building appeared to have video surveillance cameras outside the doors. Anyone with information, who has yet to come forward to police, is asked to call the IHIT information line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or solvecrime.ca. -With additional reporting by Cornelia Naylor

EDUCATION

Summer school gets modernized

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

If you still think summer school is just for kids who’ve flunked math or English, think again. For years, the Burnaby school district has been moving beyond remedial courses for its summer program, and students these days can learn how to cook, make robots and play in a rock band. New options are added every year, and this year’s no exception. About 20 per cent of the district’s high school courses are new this summer and include offerings like volleyball skills, coding and musical theatre, along with the regular academic courses to

make up failed classes or to get ahead. At the elementary level, 45 per cent of the courses are new and include such courses as fibre art, cooking and storytelling. Director of instruction Janice Nakatsu, who is in charge of the district’s summer program, says summer school really began to change eight or nine years ago. Before then, parents had to pay for their kids to go, and districts provided only remedial and some English language learning courses. Now, kindergarten to Grade 9 students can take one course for free, and kids in Grades 10, 11 and 12 can take two. “That’s why there’s been

the explosion of students who take the courses,” Nakatsu says. That change, combined with the redesigned curriculum, which emphasizes personalized learning and letting kids learn by exploring their interests and passions, has prompted the district to add some creative courses, which often also play to the interests and passions of the teachers who developed them. For the first time this year, students in Grades 8 and 9 will be able to take socalled “enrichment courses” instead of just the traditional, academic offerings. The 13 new courses include photography, rock band, model building and more.

“We’ve modernized it. These are courses that I would think that most kids, if not all kids, would be interested in taking … They are very different,” Nakatsu says. Personally, she says she would pick photography and rock band. Online registration for elementary courses opens April 15; for high school, it’s April 17. In past years, some courses, like coding, engineering and robotics, have filled up within minutes of registration opening, so have your information ready to go. For a full list of courses, visit Burnabyschools.ca.

Pro tip: Your phone is not an accessory Wearing your mobile phone like a Ring Pop won’t save you from a distracted driving ticket, according to Burnaby RCMP. Local Mounties issued

229 distracted driving tickets during a recent blitz, including a couple to drivers wearing phones on the back of their hands via a ring or stand.

The manoeuvre didn’t prevent them from having to pay $368 a pop. Distracted driving involves any non-driving activity that reduces a driver’s

ability to focus on the road or control their vehicle, according to ICBC. It is the leading contributing factor in police-reported injury crashes in B.C.

Communitynow Burnaby Mountie spreads positivity in Red Serge Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP Const. Derrick Kalicum has a knack for looking sharp in his Red Serge, and he’s leveraging that talent for the good of the force – and Canada. Last month he was at a five-day music festival in Boise, Idaho and found himself in the lotus position in his dress uniform during a one-hour meditation session being led by a consul general of Canada. “It’s not a very functional thing to wear when you’re sitting in the lotus position,” he told the NOW with a laugh. “I could only do it in short bouts because it was so uncomfortable, but some of the distraction that the discomfort gave me caused me to focus on a state of meditation even more carefully.” The meditation session, led by Canada’s consul general in Seattle, Brendan Lee, took place during a five-day musical festival in Boise, to which 25 musicians from all

across Canada had been invited. “Our job was to fly the flag, literally, and help get these Canadian artists the exposure they deserve,” Kalicum said. It turns out Lee was a yoga and meditation teacher before becoming a diplomat. Kalicum was at the event as part of the RCMP’s ceremonial troop that he started with about three years ago. “You have to show an aptitude for what in the organization is called drill and deportment, which is like

an affinity for a clean uniform, professionalism and a willingness to attend public events,” he said of the ceremonial troop. The 26-year-old said he has a lot of respect for the uniform, and, like all Mounties, he had to work for his Red Serge when he was training at depot in Regina, Sask. “You put your uniform together throughout the training and you end up with a complete kit,” he said. “For example, you start in running shoes, and then you earn your black

boots, and only after showing that your troop together are proficient in drill, do you earn black boots. And then only after you hit another benchmark are you allowed to wear your red uniform and your high brown boots.” With the ceremonial troop, Kalicum, a Nanaimo native, has represented the RCMP and Canada at

events in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Closer to home, highlights have included talking to more than 25,000 young people during WE Day at Rogers Arena about the RCMP’s iconic uniform and how it represents diversity, inclusion and unity. Citizenship ceremonies are another highlight. “I find it really meaning-

ful to be involved in the citizenship ceremonies,” he said. “For example, the last one that I was at, there were 48 individuals from 33 different countries around the world all becoming Canadians that day. It really impacts me to be able to welcome each of these individuals one by one.”

The Burnaby Village Museum Loves Volunteers For more than 40 years, the Burnaby Village Museum (BVM) has remained one of the city’s most exciting, vibrant and iconic attractions. This is, in great part, thanks to our amazing group of volunteers. Last year alone, some 230 volunteers contributed more than 11,000 hours of their time. BVM’s volunteers bring an incredibly diverse and impressive set of experiences, skills and talents to help “history come to life.”Along with leading some educational school programs, volunteers assist with community events and share their specialized skills to offer unique programs such as the Model T Car Rides and Auto Shop Apprentice. Our volunteers also work behind the scenes with researching, cataloguing and updating the museum’s database. To express our gratitude for all their help and hard work, the museum hosts a few volunteer appreciation events throughout the year, such as our annual Volunteer Appreciation Tea in February and a barbeque in August – a fun tradition that allows our volunteers and staff to relax over a casual meal, with museum staff providing table

service as a special thank you. Here, many stories are shared and friendships formed over cool glasses of lemonade and tasty barbeque.

– the period represented at the museum – the Reeve actually held the most senior administrative position in the City.

These events are a small token of thanks to our group of dedicated volunteers; and the museum’s growing emeritus program is a perfect example of their ongoing commitment. Rather than retiring, volunteers are instead choosing to stay connected with us by attending monthly workshops, volunteer appreciation events, and sharing information and updates through our monthly newsletters.

As the museum grows and gets busier, our need for dynamic volunteers also grows. To help streamline the volunteer process, we’re continuing to improve registration, training and learning opportunities.

We also offer sincere thanks to our outgoing Honorary Reeve Doreen Kennedy… and extend a warm welcome to Robin Orr, who takes on this position for 2019. Robin will continue the long tradition of serving as our ambassador, making local appearances and speaking at special events. Interestingly, the Reeve’s position in Burnaby has historically transitioned into that of mayor. The very first example of this is Mr. Alan H. Emmott, who served as the City’s last Reeve and became the first mayor from 1958-1968. During the 1920s

BVM offers two intake periods during the year – March-April for spring and summer and OctoberNovember for fall and winter. During the last orientation and training session in March, we were excited to welcome 10 new BVM volunteers. The museum also hosts monthly workshops featuring different speakers and subjects, ranging from the history of Chinese-Canadian market gardens and Indigenous history to exhibit design and interpretation.

Thank You, VB Hive Youth Special Events Team!

Parent Volunteers are the Foundation of Burnaby’s Longest Running French Preschool Established by a small group of dedicated parents in 1975, the Burnaby French Language Preschool (BFLP) is renowned for its parent-powered programming. Forty-four years later, parent volunteers still remain the cornerstone of BFLP. As a parent-participation preschool, parent volunteers actually operate the entire school from serving on the Executive Board of Directors, to doing laundry, to registering students. “Parents have gone above and beyond for years,” remarks Head Teacher Naima. A past-president created French booklets and science activities to buttress the classroom activities. “She did this while working full-time and was a mother of four kids.” “Sometimes, I don’t even have to call them for help.” One father, whose children had graduated to elementary school, arrived after a snowstorm to remove icicles and shovel snow, chuckled, “You can tell I really care about the school, eh?” Parents committed to making a difference in their child’s scholastic journey contribute their time and professional expertise generously.

Volunteer Burnaby recognizes the VB Hive youth special events team (featured in photos) for their outstanding support at all of the special events in Burnaby throughout the summer months. Events featured include Hats off Day, North Burnaby Community Fair, and Canada Day at Burnaby Village museum. Thank you for making these community events possible.

The school is truly driven by passionate volunteer parents. The organization of field trips and social events, the updates to the website and social media pages and management of financials such as payroll, childcare subsidies and charitable tax receipts are all performed by talented parent volunteers. For more information, visit www.bflp.org

National Volunteer Week: April 7-13, 2019 • volunteer.ca/nvw2019 • #NVW2019

The Volunteer Factor: Volunteer Visitors and Phone Buddies are lifting our community! Ines has been volunteering with Citizen Support Services for 23 years. She began as a Volunteer Visitor and is now a Volunteer Phone Buddy. Ines diligently calls her clients weekly, providing friendship and support over the phone to Burnaby seniors, some of whom are lonely and isolated. One client recalls how Ines helped her through one of the most challenging times of her life. This client was losing her sight. Ines continued to lift the clients’ spirts, encouraging her to stay positive and to get connected with services and programs. When Ines fell sick this past December, it was now the client calling her, providing friendship and support over the phone. She encouraged Ines to stay positive and to get out and enjoy what life has to offer. As a matter of fact, the client suggested that Ines should join her on an upcoming bus outing with Citizen Support Services. Until this point, the two had never met. They had talked on the phone for 5 years but never met

face to face. Ines accepted the invitation and the staff quickly got her registered for the trip. The two ladies had a wonderful time on their bus outing and both are looking forward to enjoying many more day trips to come. As in so many experiences, one volunteer lifts the spirts of another and in return, receives the same. Citizen Support Services and The City of Burnaby would like extend our profound appreciation to volunteers like Ines, people who continue to lift our community every day, supporting the well-being of our citizens. Thank you Burnaby Volunteers! **If you would like to join our team of volunteers and learn how you can make a difference, please call Citizen Support Services at 604-294-7980**

Stop the single-child shame game Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

For the better part of my childhood, I was raised as an only child – a fact I still hesitate to share when the topic comes up in conversation. This is because when the words “only child” are uttered, single-child stereotypes immediately arise. Words such as “lonely,” “bossy,” “spoiled” and “selfish” become synonymous with singleton, and one’s entire identity becomes defined by their birth order (or lack thereof). Suddenly, every misstep results in comments such as, “Oh that must be because she’s an only child.” And the judgment doesn’t stop at the children who were raised sans siblings. Parents who have decided to go “one and done” are also on the receiving end of the negative stereotypes associated with the famil-

ial status. When a couple adds a child to their family, they are soon asked questions such as, “When are you going to have another child?” This is followed by judgmental comments like, “Oh she must be so spoiled,” or “You guys have it so easy with only one child!” Statements which are, of course, untrue. Why does one’s sibling equate to a certain social status? According to a Stats Canada report titled Portrait of Families and Living Arrangements in Canada, among families with children, the proportion with one child at home edged up from 37.3 per cent in 2001, to 38.6 cent in 2011. And according to the Office for National Statistics, 55 per cent of lone-parent families had just one dependent child, as did 51 per cent of cohabiting parents. Among married couples, which make up the biggest family type, 40 per cent had a single child.

Yet despite the continual increase in single-child families over the years, the misconceptions remain the same – even with research proving otherwise. “Contrary to psychological folklore, only children do not appear to be less sociable or more neurotic than other children,” shares Frank J. Sulloway, a psychology professor at the University of California, Berkeley, in the article Here’sWhy Only Children Are More Successful in Business Insider. In the same article, psychologist and author Carl E. Pickhardt adds, “Growing up as an ‘only’ can be very empowering, creating very self-dedicated, strong-willed individuals who push themselves hard to achieve what they want.” With inflated housing prices and childcare costs here in B.C., I think we can expect this increase in single-child homes to continue, with parents feeling too cash-strapped to add more

children to their families. Naysayers also need to recognize that some couples are happy to share their love with only one child, while others are unable to add to their families, despite their desires to have more children. When it comes to a child’s development, it’s not about how many siblings they’ve shared a life with, but about the relationships that were built along the way. It’s time to stop the single-child shame game and recognize that people are who they are because of how they were raised, not who was in the room when the raising occurred. A healthy individual is based on the quality of their relationship with family, not the quantity of children that makes up their household.

SUMMER CAMPS & ACTIVITIES

Factors to consider before choosing a summer camp Adults often look back fondly on their childhood experiences at summer camp. Camps can provide the opportunity to form lifelong friendships and discover rewarding hobbies that can enrich campers’ lives for decades to come. Choosing a summer camp is no small task, as the options at families’ disposal range from overnight camps to weekday afternoon camps to camps that specialize in certain programs, such as music or dance. Cost also is likely to factor into families’ decisions, as the American Camp Association notes that cost can vary greatly depending on which camp families choose. For example, the ACA notes that the average daily fee at a resident camp is $85, while the same fee at a day camp is $43. When looking for a summer camp for kids, families should make the decision together. Kids should be involved in the selection process, as they’re more likely to have an enjoyable camp experience if they had a say in where they will be spending their summers. The following are some factors families should consider as they look for summer camps, courtesy of the ACA. Kids’ interests The ACA urges parents to consider the child’s interests and personality before choosing

a summer camp. Parents might want their children to attend the same summer camp they visited as youngsters, but each child is different. Just because mom and dad liked a particular camp does not mean their children will. The ACA notes that summer camps should align with children’s interests and maturity level. Locale Locale may only be a consideration for families considering overnight camps. Kids will likely be familiar with the locations of local day camps, but overnight camps might be set in mountain ranges, near the ocean or environments less familiar to youngsters. Kids who love the ocean might benefit from oceanfront camps that focus on marine biology, boating or other activities involving the water. In the same vein, youngsters who like camping and hiking might be more likely to embrace camps located in mountainous regions.

camp sessions, even if those sessions are close to home. If parents think their children can benefit from the same structure they’re accustomed to during the school year, then an overnight camp that stretches for several weeks might be what they’re looking for. Summer camps give kids a chance to make memories that will last a lifetime. Choosing the right camp is an important decision that parents and kids should make together.

Session length Camps may last as little as one week or up to a couple of months. Session length should be considered by families looking at both local day camps and overnight resident camps. Parents who want their children to enjoy a largely schedule-free summer might not want to commit their children to lengthy

Worker shortage getting worse Paul Holden

BURNABY BOARD OF TRADE

When I speak with Burnaby businesses, I routinely hear stories about their experiences trying to find workers. The stories may involve job postings going weeks without an applicant or prospective employees not showing up for interviews (a more common occurrence than you might think). Overall, the theme is the same: labour shortages are an issue across the business community. And while this labour shortage is causing headaches for all kinds of businesses, for those in our technology, digital and film sectors, it can be a real threat to their growth. According to two recent reports from the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, “two-thirds of B.C. businesses report having had positions that were difficult to fill” and “61 per cent

of businesses say that the availability of workers has only worsened over the past year.” And while B.C. already has the lowest unemployment rate in Canada – 4.7 per cent for the month of March – the number of job vacancies is actually expected to rise.The provincial government is forecasting nearly one million job openings over the next decade and explicitly acknowledges that these can’t all be filled with local workers.That’s precisely why businesses need access to international and new Canadian talent. For those businesses in the technology, digital and film sectors, finding talent is especially critical. Specialized talent is needed to drive innovation and facilitate growth. By its very nature, this type of talent can be hard to find, and sometimes it is simply not available locally.This shortage may be due to demand outstripping local supply or, in cases of new or emerging industries, there may just not be any lo-

cal workers with experience. In these cases, access to international and new Canadian talent is a tool that can help. Governments have responded to this issue with two pilot programs – the Global Talent Stream program at the federal level and the B.C. Provincial Nominee Program Tech Pilot. Both of these programs help local businesses bring international talent and bring them to Canada to help grow our economy. Talking to Burnaby businesses using these programs, I’ve heard how successful they have been in helping companies grow and stay competitive.Through these programs, some positions that sat vacant are being filled, and some innovations and projects which had stagnated are moving forward. Allowing business to find this talent also creates economic spin-off benefits for the economy as a whole; the federal government credits the Global Talent Stream program alone with gener-

ating commitments from businesses to create 40,000 spin-off jobs. Both of these programs were unfortunately given June 2019 expiration dates, when they will no longer be available to Burnaby businesses. That’s why we applauded when the federal government announced in the March budget that it would make the Global Talent Stream permanent, and that is also why we’re calling on the province to follow suit and save the BC PNP Tech Pilot. Burnaby is already home to a highly skilled and educated workforce, thanks to our world-class post-secondary institutions. But in a competitive and changing economy, businesses need access to a range of tools to help them succeed, and access to international and new Canadian talent is an important part of that mix. Paul Holden is president and CEO of the Burnaby Board of Trade.

PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT CENTRE OF B.C. Learning disability is one of the most common diagnoses made by registered psychologists who work with school-aged children. It is an invisible disability that can affect children of all ages, languages, and levels of cognitive ability, including those who are exceptionally intelligent (gifted). Learning disability begins as a problem in one area (remembering sounds that go with letters, difficulty reading words). This can branch into other areas, such as difficulty learning or retrieving math facts. About 50% of students with a reading disability (dyslexia) also have a math disability (dyscalculia). Most of these students struggle with a weak working memory and have poor organization skills. Collectively these challenges affect academic self-esteem, focus, attention and new learning. Reading, writing and math disabilities can emerge later in middle and high school, and sometimes university. The challenge of learning increases with the shorter time limits, more complex text and demands for faster reading and writing. The higher task demands can bring about anxiety and doubt about abilities and performance. By grade 3 and through to university, the signs for a learning disability are obvious: reading disability students are not able to sound out or read words or have slow word reading, spelling is poor and written expression is affected. In math disability - students are not able to commit math facts to long term memory and cannot find the correct response to very basic math. They mix up steps in multistep operations and use immature finger counting strategies similar to younger children. Undiagnosed and untreated learning disability leads to significant life-long problems with learning, low self-esteem and increased anxiety, depression, and school drop-out. Love Learning Psychoeducational Centre of BC (Lovelearningpacbc.com) can transform your child’s learning from a doubtful worrier to a student who loves learning. Once assessed, if there is a need, your child will be able to access the specialized materials, instruction, strategies, and technology your child is entitled to under the B.C. Special Education Ministry guidelines for students with learning disabilities/giftedness/intellectual disability. We offer 8 - session mindfulness group to reduce school-related anxiety and improve focus.

Q A

When is the best time for children to begin to learn to read and do math?

Over 38 states have mandatory screening for reading disability or dyslexia in kindergarten. Kindergarten is an excellent time to screen children for reading disability (dyslexia) MAUREEN MACKINNON- or math disability (dyscalculia). Targeted evidence-based instruction in sound/letter MCQUARRIE, PH.D. awareness, counting procedures and number sense can start right away with fun games and activities. This is much better than waiting until grade 3 to ﬁnd out that your child cannot read or perform math. Kindergarten and grade 1 is a “sensitive learning period” where kids respond rapidly to evidence-based instruction in phonological awareness, the rules of counting and number sense, more so than any other time. Early instruction in literacy and numeracy closes the gap for kids who start school with no exposure prior to school entry and improves reading in all children, including those with English as a second language.

BOXING

Couzens crowned ‘golden boy’ Burnaby fighter takes Golden Gloves title Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

As a young teenage boxer, Robert Couzens heard all about the Golden Gloves and the fighters who were held up for celebration as ‘the Golden Boy.’ It’s a title reserved for a fighter who elevates his game in the tournament and often proves to be one with a lot of potential. Burnaby’s Couzens would listen to his then-coach Manny Sobral talk in glowing terms about those fighters who had won it before. Receiving it was a sign of approval from the toughest judges. Even though a decade has passed since those days and Couzens is now coached by Mihai Afloarei, the feeling of accomplishment still packed a refreshing punch two weeks ago when the boxer was presented with his Golden Boy award. “It was so great,” said Couzens, 27. “It’s been a number of years since I fought in the (B.C.) Golden Gloves but as a kid. I knew and heard how it was a prestigious local tournament. (Sobral) would show me the list of names of who had won the Golden Boy title each year and it seemed to be the best-of-the-best. ... I wanted to be up with those guys.” By beating rival and reigning B.C. welterweight champ Ilya Kovalenko in a unanimous decision in Richmond, Couzens got his long-awaited wish. The bout, the Inner City Boxing Club fighter’s second in as many days, saw Kovalenko lay a couple of gloves on him but unable to counter Couzens’ quick and potent strikes. “He got his fair share in, but I felt like I was in a good spot,” noted Couzens. The two, who outside of the competitive ring are friends and have sparred on occasion, delivered a good main-card event in the 69-kilogram division, going the distance before the decision was handed down. It was just part of a busy past few months for Couzens, who heads to the Canadian national championships later this month in Langford, where he aims to defend his Canadian crown, as well as solidify his spot on the national team. Last month he won the Washington State Golden Gloves, capturing the outof-state title with a one-fight decision. Prior to that, Couzens saw his second tour of duty in the Dominican Republic as part of Team Canada. Although he lost both matches, the experience was well worth the cost. He now turns his focus to the nationals in two weeks as the defending champ.

March in time for baseball boom Burnaby teenager has already delivered a hit for the national women’s team

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

In a duel between hitter and pitcher, a lot of things get processed over mere seconds of a pitch. Burnaby’s Emma March dreams of that situation, where the count and the variables of what her opponent will offer all add up to opportunity. Will it be a fastball, curve, a slider? Is the ball meant to push her back or cut her at the knees? Before the catcher feels the comfortable ‘thunk’ of ball meeting glove, March has made contact, launching the orb into the outfield. It’s the dance of spring baseball fans love, and one that March patiently prepares for. And while there are more 17-year-old girls than ever chasing their field of dreams, few have taken it to the heights she has, and will, as the weather warms up. “It’s just battling, a battle between you and the pitcher. It’s a mind game, what’s he going to pitch, but when you get that

right hit and feel it hit the sweet part of the bat, there’s nothing like it,” March said of her role as a slugger. It was that role where she was assigned as one of the youngest members of the Canadian women’s national team at last year’s World Cup in Florida. In a classic ‘Wide World of Sports’-like moment, the youngest player on No. 2-ranked Canada’s roster was sent in to pinchhit against a two-time World Cup MVP, Japan’s Ayami Sato. Trailing 2-0 despite out-hitting their rivals, Canada struggled to find a clutch hit. Manager Andre Lachance tapped the then16-year-old March in the sixth inning. “I didn’t have much time to think what I was going to do against one of the best pitchers. … I was so nervous, I had never seen her before, but I knew why my manager picked me; he wanted me to get a hit,” she recalls. “I completely missed the first two pitches. She threw some nasty curves. From what I saw and know, she wasn’t going to go

Kensington Pitch & Putt

three curves in a row, so I waited on the fastball and she threw it. I nailed it into right field and (drove in) a run.” Although Canada would fall 2-1, March experienced a moment that she had dreamed of ever since she started swinging for the fences as a seven-year-old playing with boys. “It was pretty neat.That was a lot of fun, unbelievable really. I could hear my dad and my brother cheering.” That moment alone could have made all the harsh experiences seem small. Even when, as a child, those tough tests pushed her to tears. March was put into baseball, along with her twin brother Evan, with the hopes that both would find something that was enjoyable and competitive. As both climbed that ladder, getting picked year after year for the allstar squads, the young girl experienced the taunting and silence of teammates and opponents. “Playing baseball and being the only girl on the team shaped me to who I am now,” she says. “I had to prove myself all the

time and show that I could play. So many times I came home in tears because of the teasing or just no one talking to me. “I wanted to prove to them my love of the game is stronger than the hate I’d get. Sometimes I came home crying, but it was all worth it.” The siblings would reach a pinnacle in 2014 when their South Vancouver team won the Canadian Little League title and made the trek to Williamsport to compete in the Little League World Series. March suddenly found herself, along with a pitcher with a Chicago team, in the media spotlight as girls in baseball. It brought back memories to one of her first heroes, East Vancouver’s Katie Reyes. “Watching her do it, it gave me a sense of ‘If she can do it, I can do it too.’” A Boston Red Sox fan, March is benefiting from the opportunities available through a boom in the sport. She played last summer, preparing for provincial and national championships, Continued on page 38

SFU inducts hall-of-fame quartet

Teen tops on tour

Honourees starred in the fields of basketball, soccer, track and field and humanities

A new group of honourees was ushered into the Simon Fraser University Athletic Hall of Fame last month, representing the sports of basketball, soccer and track and field. The SFU’s hall inducted Joby McKenzie, NAIA champion middle distance runner Julia Howard, legendary men’s soccer goal scorer Andrew Corazza, and basketball star and distinguished health-care advocate Nadine Caron at a gala event on March 26. “This is a well-deserved honour and an incredible achievement for this exceptional group of individuals,” said SFU senior director of athletics and recreation Theresa Hanson. “To be inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame signifies the highest honour a student-athlete can achieve during their special

She also played for the Canadian national team from 1998 to 2001, winning a silver medal at the 1999 Pan American Games Howard won 10 individual NAIA championships between 2003 and 2006, seven relay championships and was an integral part of four championship teams during her time on Burnaby Mountain.

Corazza arrived at SFU in 2002 and had an immediate impact, scoring 24 goals his freshmen season. Corazza went on to score 81 goals in 69 games in a career that wrapped up in 2005. In his four years, Corazza registered 24-, 12-, 24-, and 21-goal seasons and is the program’s career scoring leader with 179 points. His goal scoring exploits helped lead SFU to four straight appearances in the NAIA national championship tournament, including a pair of fifth-place finishes.

As a student-athlete from 1988 to 1992, Caron was part of legendary coach Allison McNeill’s first recruiting class. As a student-athlete, she won more than 20 major academic awards and she earned the Shrum Gold medal as the top undergraduate student at SFU. Caron became the first female First Nations student to graduate from UBC’s School of Medicine, again as the top student, and was named one of Maclean’s “100 Canadians to Watch.” The Terry Fox Humanitarian category was established in 2013 and is reserved to honour the benevolence of athletic alumni who make incredible humanitarian contributions to improve their communities.

Burnaby’s Luna Lu built a solid first-round lead then held that advantage until the end to win the bantam girls division title at the inaugural Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy B.C. Spring Classic at Vancouver’s University Golf Club last week. Her two-round total of 152 (74-78) earned her a five-shot win in the under-15 division, and was the 11-year-old’s third victory on the Canadian Junior Golf Association tour. Lu fired a pace-setting 2-over par 74 on the opening day, six strokes ahead of PoCo’sYe Ji Kwon.The second go-round saw Kwon post the day’s best score, a 77, while Lu posted a 78 to win by five shots. In the bantam boys division, Burnaby’s Jay Xu was a model of consistency with rounds of 78 to finish sixth, 16 shots back of Vancouver’s Aaron Huang. Xu’s two-day score of 156 positioned him sixth overall.

R E A L E S TAT E

Slowing housing market has ‘silver lining’ for buyers: brokerage In recent years, it has been the home sellers who had the upper hand – and now it’s the turn of the buyer, according to national real estate brokerage Royal LePage. Falling home prices in major cities are the “silver lining” to the real estate market slowdown, creating an opportunity for first-time buyers to get into the housing market, said the brokerage’s president and CEO in its quarterly National House Price Composite, issued April 4. Royal LePage found that the aggregate (weighted average of medians) home sale price in Greater Vancouver was $1,239,306, a 1.5 per cent drop compared with 2018’s first quarter. When broken out by housing type, the median sale price of two-storey homes and bungalows declined by 1.6 per cent and 3.3 per cent respectively, to $1,538,523 and $1,378,988. The brokerage found that median price of a condo increased 1.4 per cent year-over-year to $679,393 – “a significant contrast to the doubledigit price increases seen in the condominium segment in the first half of 2018,” said the report. Royal LePage’s median prices show less significant declines than those reported by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver on April 2, which looks at the benchmark price of typical homes. REBGV said the composite benchmark home price was down 7.7 per cent year over year to $1,011,200, while detached home prices were down 10.5 per cent year over year and condo prices had slid 5.9 per cent since March 2018.

National picture According to the price survey, the aggregate price of a home in Canada rose 2.7 per cent year-over-year to $621,575 in 2019’s first quarter, which Royal LePage describes as “well below the long-term norm of

www.

approximately five per cent.” The median sale price of a two-storey home in Canada in Q1 rose 2.6 per cent year-over-year to $729,553, and the median price of a bungalow increased 1.1 per cent year-over-year to $513,497. On a national level, condos saw the strongest price growth, rising 5.4 per cent over the past year to $447,260. Phil Soper, president and CEO of Royal LePage, stated, “We are expecting this to be a sluggish year overall in Canada’s residential real estate market, with the hangover from the 2018 market correction and weaker economic growth acting as a drag on home price appreciation, balanced by lower-for-longer interest rates.” He added, “There is a silver lining here. This slowdown gives buyers, and first-time buyers in particular, an opportunity to buy real estate in our country’s largest cities.”

Second-quarter forecasts The brokerage predicted the national aggregate price of a home would rise just one per cent in the second quarter’s spring market. However, Royal LePage said it is expecting home prices in Greater Vancouver to fall 1.4 per cent between early April and the end of June. The report said interventionist government policy such as the mortgage stress test has dampened the market – and that the announcement of the First Time Home Buyer Incentive in the recent Federal Budget could further influence the cycle. Soper said, “Without a healthy influx of first-time buyers, the entire cycle of real estate activity can stall. There is the chance, however, that activity levels in the spring of 2019 will be reduced as some delay purchases, waiting for the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive to kick in.”

OBITUARIES

She was predeceased by her parents, Frank and Perpetua Hartner, her sister Trudy, her brother Frank, sister in law Jeannine, first husband, Art Currie and second husband, Wilf Luke. Mom leaves behind her son, Dennis Currie, his wife Joanne and their children, Vanessa (Julien), Daniel (Lauren) and Jessica (Jason) and her five adored great grandchildren, Caleb, Sebastien, Walker, Atlin and Finn. Also mourning her are daughter Debra (Jenneson), her husband Garth and grandson Parker. When Debra married Garth, Betty was lucky enough to gain four step grandchildren, Sandra, Dan, Robbie, Leslie and great grand baby Lochlainn, the newest addition. Also survived by her dear brothers Charlie and Tony, and best friends, cousin Helen Lane and her friend since they were both age six, Mary Hayes. Mom was the glue that kept the family connected and loved her family, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews and their families. She never forgot a birthday or anniversary and loved to have parties and dinners to celebrate the occasion. Born to a German immigrant family in Camrose, Alberta, Betty was always hard working, helpful to everyone in the family. She was outgoing and ambitious, always wanting to leave small town life behind and see the mountains and the ocean. She met Art on his birthday in Edmonton and was only 17 when they married and moved to Vancouver, the city she loved until she died. Dennis was born in 1950 but due to lack of jobs in Vancouver, they moved back to Edmonton, where Debra was born in 1954. As soon as possible, Mom convinced Art to return to Vancouver, where they remained until 1965 when they designed and built their dream home in North Vancouver. Following their divorce, Betty married Wilf in 1980 and they moved to New Westminster, where she remained following Wilfs death in 2017. They had a wonderful life together, travelling, dancing, entertaining. She looked after Wilf for several years after a fall and decline due to dementia. Missing him terribly after his passing, Mom sold their beloved home in 2017 and moved into a beautiful suite at Thornebridge Gardens in New Westminster, where she made many new friends. In addition to being a loving and generous wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend and fabulous entertainer, Betty had a long career, first with Dominion Stores, quickly becoming Head cashier where she trained all cashiers, hired and trained staff when a new store opened, eventually doing all the payroll. After Dominion left the west, she switched to hospital payroll at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver, followed by many years at Fellburn Hospital in Burnaby, where she became assistant administrator. The family wish to thank the wonderful staff at Thornebridge Gardens in New Westminster and the staff at Cascades Care Home in Chilliwack. She received such loving care in both.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
