Overpass destroyed by truck to be replaced Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A pedestrian overpass destroyed by a dump truck in 2017 will be replaced this summer, according to the City of Burnaby. The foot bridge that once spanned Beaverbrook Drive connected two residential areas near Lougheed Town

Centre. In 2017, the director of nearby Village Daycare, Wanda Gray, told the NOW the missing overpass kept her staff from bringing kids to a park on the other side. She was worried the city would not replace it. “Without the bridge, we’ll have to stay on our side,” she said.

Area residents rallied to push the city to replace the overpass, starting an online petition that currently has 390 supporters. Doug Louie, assistant director of engineering, said residents wanted the overpass replaced. “The city is rebuilding the Beaverbrook overpass with a similar structure that

existed previously and construction is scheduled for this summer with expected completion this fall,” he told the NOW in an email. The city’s 2019-2023 capital plan budgets $300,000 for the project, but Louie said “the majority of it will be recovered from the at-fault parties and their insurers.”

Citynow FIRE

Family home gutted in Good Friday blaze

By Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

Two people were hospitalized and others were forced out of their home on Good Friday (April 19) as two houses burned up in a quiet Burnaby neighbourhood. The three-alarm fire started at around 3 a.m. in the 3700 block of Pender Street, just east of Boundary Road. Four aerial ladders were set up to douse the blaze, which started at one house and then spread to a second home.Two people were taken to hospital with smoke inhalation and emergency services were brought in to help the displaced residents find shelter. “It’s just so sad,” one witness told the NOW just hours after the fire.The witness, who lives across the street from where the fire took place and didn’t want their name used, said an elderly couple was rescued from the home and sat on a curb across the street watching their post-war bungalow burn up. “I think they had lived in that home for a very long time.” The second home suffered significant damage to its roof. The fire, according to fire officials, is not considered suspicious. Read the related column on page 6.

Ground broken on 14-storey ‘affordable’ housing project Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Politicians held gold-coloured shovels at a ceremonial groundbreaking for a 125-unit “affordable housing” project in Burnaby on Tuesday. It was the official construction kickoff for a 14-storey apartment building slated for completion in 2020.The non-market project will be built by developer Thind Properties in partnership with the province, City of Burnaby and New Vista Society. The province has committed $17 million to the project, while Burnaby plans to contribute $7 million. Thind is also building a 47-storey mixed-use tower on the adjacent lot with office space and 324 market condominiums. Housing Minister Selina Robinson lauded the partnership and her NDP government’s efforts to improve housing affordability in B.C. “Our government is putting the focus back on people and getting them the re-

sults that they need,” she said. “We’re doing that by building the right types of homes right across the province.” But the so-called “affordable” apartments may still be out of reach for many lower-income British Columbians.The estimated rents in the project are: ! $886/month for a studio ! $1,336/month for a one-bedroom ! $2,132/month for a two-bedroom ! $2,503/month for a three-bedroom Robinson said the project is part of the province’s efforts to provide housing for low-, moderate- and higherincome residents. “We recognize that this is an issue that has been going on for quite some time in terms of housing affordability, and so making sure that we have a full range of housing is really important,” Robinson said. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation considers housing to be affordable if it costs less than 30 per cent of a household’s

before-tax income. Using that metric, a single parent would need an $85,000 salary to afford a two-bedroom unit. New Vista’s board president Linda Flegel said it was a “good question” whether the estimated rents were truly affordable. “Affordable in the Lower Mainland is a part of the market and a lot of the investment opportunities and the desirability to live in the Lower Mainland,” she said. The two Thind buildings will be built on Sussex Avenue near Beresford Street in Metrotown.Three lowrise walk-up buildings with 64 rental units were demolished to make way for the new development. The demovictions were part of a rash of displacement in the area in recent years, as developers moved to build new towers in the place of cheap rental buildings thanks to a change in zoning designation by the city. Last summer, housing activist Dave Diewart said the non-market component of the development replacing

the Sussex buildings wasn’t enough. “This is not a viable, sustainable response to the crisis,” he said. “What we’ve always advocated for is for the state to redistribute wealth.We need to get rid of private property.The idea that anyone owns private property seems to be the

root of the problem.” But Flegel said efforts were made to help the displaced tenants relocate. “New Vista worked with Thind to provide alternative housing with options for the people who were displaced,” she said. And those same renters will have the opportunity to

move back to the site once the new project is done, she said. “We’re reaching out to them as well for first option back into the development when it’s ready to go.” Flegel said the remaining units will be rented to people on a B.C. Housing waiting list.

Saputo sale has deep ripple effects on area Frank O’Brien

editorial@burnabynow.com

The blast radius from the October 2018 sale of the Saputo Foods Ltd. property in North Burnaby for an unprecedented $11 million an acre has quadrupled local land values, driven property taxes sky high, forced some businesses to close and staked the future costs for high-density development along Burnaby’s central SkyTrain corridor. Saputo’s 19-acre dairy plant, next to the Millennium Line’s Sperling-Burnaby Lake Station, sold for a staggering $209 million, according to BC Assessment. The transaction ranks No. 8 on Business inVancouver’s Biggest Real Estate Deals of 2018 list and, for value, was the largest single land transaction in Burnaby last year. The buyers,Vancouver developers Peterson Group and Create Properties, have a contemporary plan for generating profits from the

6000 Lougheed Highway site, which began producing dairy products in 1963. The BC Assessment Authority valued the property at $26.3 million in 2015, and it increased to $197.2 million based on the 2019 assessment roll – a 323 per

cent increase from 2018’s assessed value of $46.6 million. Peterson and Create paid above the assessment to secure land that has the potential to be redeveloped into a mixed-use, high-density, residential-oriented

community close to SkyTrain. The deal was executed by Cushman &Wakefield, which first listed the property in 2017. The land is zoned industrial, but zoning to accommodate housing and

light commercial space appears to be a slam dunk. In its original lobby for the SkyTrain extension on the Lougheed corridor, the City of Burnaby agreed to promote both residential development and job growth along the route. Saputo, which will rent back the Burnaby site for two years, is building a new dairy facility on a 20-acre site in Port Coquitlam that it expects to open in 2021. The transfer of a major employer is only the start of the ripple effect of the landmark Saputo transaction. The owner of an area business, tile maker Kim Hauner of Interstyle Ceramics and Glass on Brighton Avenue, cited the value of the Saputo sale for driving up the recent assessment of his four-acre site to $41.6 million from $11.8 million a year earlier. It pushed his annual property taxes to $496,000. BC Assessment values property based on its highest and best possible use,

not on its current configuration. “It is all speculation,” Hauner said. The new annual tax bill, he added, puts him out of business. “We don’t have the extra money budgeted for this year.” Hauner expects the higher taxes to shove other local businesses out as well. The Saputo deal domino effect continues, disrupting and potentially usurping businesses along the corridor. Just next to Interstyle, the eight-acre Costco discount warehouse and store on Brighton Avenue has seen its most recent assessment skyrocket to $84.3 million, up from $28.8 million a year previous. This year, Colliers International is marketing a potential development site at 7000 Lougheed Highway close to the Saputo site. The 14 acres were assessed at $41 million in 2007, but BC Assessment now says the site is worth $143.6 million.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

New tools will help make smarter housing decisions The gold rush that gripped the real estate market for a decade leading up to 2016 appears to be over. But the lasting legacy of that unregulated influx of foreign capital into the housing market is still apparent. Just what foreign ownership looks like continues to come into focus. The most recent statistics – a refinement of earlier figures with some additional details put out by CMHC – are likely to shock nobody. Residents, politicians and real estate agents have all been aware of who high-

end homes were being sold to in Burnaby, despite widespread early denials. A few years ago, when foreign buying was at its peak, it was not uncommon for those who pointed it out to be denounced as suffering from xenophobic hallucinations. But, as it turns out, this wasn’t the case. The impacts have been many – from a housing market disconnected from local wages to streets with empty homes, and situations where families living in multi-million-dollar

mansions pay little income tax in Canada. Local housing was also used by people trying to launder dirty money – driving up housing prices in the process.The full extent of money laundering in real estate remains unknown, but anti-financial crime advocacy group Transparency International Canada suggests tens of billions of dollars of criminal proceeds could be washed in the Toronto and Vancouver markets annually. And, for years, nobody in the positions of power said

a thing. That’s all changed now. B.C.’s real estate sector has finally joined the fight when it comes to money laundering through housing. Last week, the B.C. Real Estate Association made five recommendations to Victoria and Ottawa aimed at helping protect the industry from unscrupulous operators involved in money laundering. Included in the recommendations is that only verified funds coming through Canadian financial institutions should be accepted

for transactions.They also said anti-money-laundering procedures should be mandatory for real estate professionals, and transactions should be subject to reporting requirements administered by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) to ensure those professionals recognize and report suspicious transactions. Slowly, measures put in place by the BC NDP government have attempted to address other problems in the real estate market.The

much-discussed speculation and vacancy tax, for instance, will go some way to taxing the assets of those who don’t declare Canadian income yet use the services income tax pays for. B.C.’s new beneficial owners’ registry will be another tool to get a true picture of who owns what in our real estate market. Having information is key in making smart decisions. For too long, many vested interests weren’t interested in examining that too closely. And if you don’t look, you don’t find.

MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL

Fire a wake-up call to protect memories I sat in my car early one morning last week stinking of smoke and feeling morose. Covering fires like the one that happened on Pender Street in Burnaby on Good Friday will do that to a person. The fire gutted an old home and sent two people to hospital with smoke inhalation. Neighbours told me an elderly couple lived in the home and, for a few minutes, sat across the street watching the house they called home burn. If you look at the photos of the fire on our website, you can tell this post-war house is now a hollowedout shell. “Insurance will cover the damage,” a friend told me. Sure, if they have insurance. But losing pieces of furniture and your cooking utensils isn’t what really devastates people. It’s likely losing all of those precious family heirlooms and photos compiled over a lifetime of living. (Hopefully the photos were stored on a digital cloud somewhere.) Those can never be replaced. And that’s what I was thinking about as I sat in my car after taking photos at the scene. A thick haze hung over the North Burnaby neighbourhood as firefighters were still pouring water on the home and the one next door that also caught fire. I could feel the smoke in my throat as I remembered something that happened to me when I was 15.

I was alone in our North Burnaby house on a Sunday morning when I went downstairs and discovered that the basement had flooded. I can still remember that sinking feeling as I saw the boxes of photo slides and prints floating by.We lost about 90 per cent of all of our family photos in that flood. Decades of family memories lost in one morning. I managed to salvage a few prints. Only enough to fill about one-third of a photo album. Several other items that were precious to me were also destroyed by the flooding water. They were kept in a keepsakes box that was soaked with filthy water. I felt sad and angry and a little lost for months afterwards because I knew then how important family memories are. It still stings decades later. So my heart is shattered thinking about everything this family has lost, along with the trauma of having gone through a fire. It’s a wake-up call to do an assessment of your most important family photos and heirlooms. Photos are less of a concern now because everything can be digitized and stored online. But if you also have precious keepsakes, you should look at where and how they are stored in case the unthinkable happens. Like I said, insurance only goes so far.

Gaffe stinks up neighbourhood A gaffe by an inexperienced BC Hydro truck driver left a South Burnaby apartment with a stinking mess outside its back door for four days.The driver had dropped off a utility pole destined to be installed in the lane behind 6880 Balmoral St., just west of Middlegate Mall, but he had laid the pole in front of the building’s garbage bin. City sanitation workers were unable to get at the bin, so they left it for the weekend.When they came back on the Monday, the pole was still there. “By that time, the garbage was pretty ripe,” one resident told the NOW.

Opinion now

Editor: Re: This Burnaby property was stripped of its trees - wildlife be damned, NOW letters, March 31 If anyone is to blame for property owners acting on what is permitted for their lands, then look towards Victoria. If consultation is desired at the construction stage when houses are actually built, then again Victoria must make this change. If trees are to be permanently preserved, then Victoria must make that law, too. Burnaby cannot make up its own land-use laws. Victoria pretty much decides everything. So all Burnaby really gets to decide is how to implement what the Lieutenant-Governor, that is Cabinet, decides is right for the province. And in the case of a subdivision, city council is not given any authority over this process – someone called the Approving Officer, who happens to work for the city, must make this decision. The subdivision is then reviewed by provincial officials before the new lands become part of the Land Registry system. Oh, did I mention, the Approving Officer must make the subdivision decision independently of any council interference. A smart move by the province that avoids political outcomes creeping into what should be strictly a technical process of making sure lands are accessible and do not undermine the neigh-

bours’ rights to use their lands too. The real question here is did the concerned letter author ask when did the rezoning happen for this property? This is when neighbours and anyone else can engage city council, let their views be known, encourage others to advocate for the desired landuse outcome. Another relevant question does this author pay attention to the public hearing notices that are routinely, and by provincial law, required to be published in this very newspaper? So if you are so concerned, then go to council at public hearing, stamp your feet and demand a better outcome, if that is your view. But if the author has not done any of these things, then yes, go ahead and vote with your feet. Preferably, go to another province as obviously the land development process everyone else in B.C. is required to follow is not good enough for you. Joe Sulmona, North Burnaby Editor’s note: The six single-family homes referred to in the original letter to the editor actually conformed to the lot’s existing zoning – meaning there was no rezoning process that would have included a public hearing where neighbours, like the original letter writer, could have expressed their concerns.

Burnaby cannot make up its own land-use laws.

Citynow COURT

Man who shot family members awaits fate Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 60-year-old Burnaby man convicted of attempted murder for shooting his brother and sister-in-law with a shotgun two years ago should spend between 14 and 16 years in jail, according to a Crown prosecutor. DOUBLE SHOOTING A B.C. Supreme Court jury found Dominic Botticelli guilty in December of two counts of attempted murder. The charges date back to a double shooting on May 11, 2017 at his mother’s house on Broadway near Kingsford Avenue, where he had been living. His brother,Tony Botticelli and Tony’s wife, Candace had come over to visit his mother for Mother’s Day, the court heard. A confrontation ensued over frequent angry outbursts Dominic Botticelli had been having, during

which he sometimes broke things at his mother’s house. His brother asked him to leave. The confrontation culminated at about 5 p.m., with Dominic Botticelli, Candace and Tony outside by a set of stairs, according to Candace’s testimony. Tony prevented his brother from going back up, the court heard, and Dominic Botticelli then went into the garage, came out with a shotgun and shot Candace. When Tony went to her aid, his brother shot him at close range. Dominic Botticelli then left in his SUV, according to the couple’s testimony.

‘LIFE-ALTERING INJURIES’ Burnaby RCMP arrived to find the couple in front of the open garage with serious injuries. Police shut down a section of Broadway and searched the area with dogs, but Botticelli was located and arrested at about 10 p.m. in another neighbour-

hood – in the 4400 block of Albert Street, said a police press release at the time. A search of his room at his mother’s house revealed two handguns with oversized magazines and silencers, for which Botticelli had no licence. Botticelli maintained his innocence throughout the trial, testifying he had left the house shortly after he was asked to leave. The jury, however, found him guilty on two counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault and a number of weapons charges. At a sentencing hearing before Justice Kenneth Ball Monday, Crown prosecutor Brendan McCabe said Candace and Tony Botticelli sustained “catastrophic, lifealtering injuries” and were hospitalized for months after the shooting. “It’s almost beyond words what these people have gone through,” he said. In victim impacts statements, the couple high-

lighted how troubled they are that Dominic Botticelli has continued to deny his actions and shown no remorse. “He has no care for the amount of damage he’s done to his very family, to his mother, his brother and even his son,” Candace wrote in her statement. “If he doesn’t have any remorse, how can we not be fearful that he wouldn’t hurt again? If he has such little regard for his immediate family, what about the safety of extended family, friends and even strangers.”

ANGRY OUTBURSTS McCabe called for a jail sentence of between 14 and 16 years, noting Dominic Botticelli’s lack of remorse and the devastating injuries he inflicted on his victims. Defence lawyer Sandy Ross, however, recommended a jail sentence between eight and nine years, arguing the shooting had been a spontaneous act involving no planning and delib-

eration. Ross said Botticelli had grown angry and frustrated over about 15 years of trying to reconnect with a son, born in 2000.

He has no care for the amount of damage he’s done to his very family, to his mother, his brother and even his son.

Ross said Botticelli’s life had been “almost completely consumed” with efforts to find him and bring him back to Canada after the boy’s mother abducted him and took him to Italy. Botticelli’s frustration reached “enormously high

levels,” Ross said, and resulted in frequent angry outburst at his mother’s house, which eventually ended in his brother asking him to leave. While the consequences were far more dire, Ross said the shooting was like Botticelli’s other angry outbursts – impulsive and unplanned, and should therefore land him on the lower end of the scale in terms of sentencing. McCabe disagreed, arguing Botticelli had taken time to deliberate. “The Crown concedes that there wasn’t a great deal here, but certainly something led Mr. Botticelli to go into the garage after being told to leave his mother’s property,” he said, “He didn’t go into the garage to get a garden hose; he went in to get a loaded firearm.” Botticelli, who has been in custody since his arrest, declined to address the court. A date for his sentencing has yet to be set.

Fraudster gets one-day sentence Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Convicted Burnaby fraudster Arthur TatYue Wong was led out of aVancouver courtroom in handcuffs to serve a single day in jail before 12 months of probation. Wong, 56, was convicted in March of defrauding Phoenix Media Direct Inc., a local large-format print

company, of $147 in 2011 when he was in charge of the company’s books. He was originally alleged to have stolen about $200,000, and one of the co-founders of the company, Steve Carter, testifiedWong had left the business on the brink of collapse.

BREACH OF TRUST In the end, however, B.C. Provincial Court Judge

Nancy Phillips ruled the only crime that had been proven beyond a reasonable doubt was an unauthorized $147 payment made on the company credit card on May 22, 2011 to Dance Power Enterprises. The maximum sentence for fraud under $5,000 is two years in jail. Crown prosecutor Kevin Marks called for a one-day jail sentence to be followed

by 12 months’ probation. He noted the deliberate nature ofWong’s crime. Marks saidWong didn’t have a criminal record at the time he defrauded Phoenix but noted he was convicted of fraud and false pretences in 2016 for offences committed between May 2007 and November 2009 – shortly before he took over Phoenix’s books in 2010.

Citynow ‘Hollow victory’ for past victims Continued from page 9 Back then,Wong was the financial controller at Unique Accommodations in NorthVancouver, and he was found guilty of defrauding that company of $400,000 as well as lying to banks to get a mortgage and a line of credit. He was sentenced to 30 months in jail but was released early. His parole on that conviction ended in January of this year. Marks said the earlier crimes could be considered important for determining Wong’s character. ‘HUMBLE LIFE’ Defence lawyer Gloria Ng recommended a suspended sentence and six months’ probation. She saidWong, who lives with his wife, two 20-something daughters and his elderly mother, had no problems in jail or on parole and has been gainfully employed since getting out of prison – first as a golf course manager and then as a driver. Letters of support from his brother and sister said

Wong is a changed man, working to leave his past behind and more content to live a “humble life” in the future. Ng pointed out that, while this conviction comes after the Unique Accommodations conviction, the offences all date from before his jail sentence. “It’s important to keep in mind that everything is still from that period of his life,” Ng said. She also pointed to the small amount of money Wong was actually convicted of stealing from Phoenix. Phillips acknowledged the dollar amount was small but said the breach of trust was “significant.” She also agreed with Marks thatWong’s previous conviction spoke to his character. “Combined with the need to protect the community, I have come to the conclusion that a suspended sentence would not be an appropriate sentence, that the record does need to reflect that one day in custody.” Phillips also said the longer, 12-month probation pe-

riod would ensure “certain orders are in place to constrain Mr.Wong and continue to make sure that he is engaging lawfully in the community.” Among his parole conditions,Wong will have to make present and future employers aware of his conviction; he will not be allowed to possess any identification documents other than in his name; and he will have to pay back the $147 he stole. He has also been ordered to provide a DNA sample for the national data bank.

A noise level of 110 decibels can cause hearing damage in as little as 5 minutes. We recommend wearing ear plugs at loud concerts.*

‘HOLLOW VICTORY’ Carter, who was in the courtroom with two other former employers ofWong, said he enjoyed watching his former financial controller being led away in handcuffs but called it a “hollow victory” after all he and his wife, a former partner in Phoenix, have been through. “It traumatized me when it happened back in 2011, 2012, and since the judgment it’s all come back – and it’s come back worse.”

City now Chef Vikram Vij will play a role in SFU food services Chartwells is taking over university food services and partnering withVancouver’s celebrity chef Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby SFU students should see a change in the grub offered at their cafeterias next month. The university has switched service providers, signing a new five-year deal with Chartwells, a company owned by British multinational Compass Group PLC, the largest contract foodservice company in the world. Chartwells will take over from Sodexo (a French multinational), managing SFU dining operations, including providing food, beverage and staffing at the campus’s 24/7 dining hall, two Starbucks, Diamond Alumni Centre and a number of other outlets. The new food program will include a partnership with Vancouver celebri-

ty chef Vikram Vij, who will “play a role with certain menu selections, be present at certain dining events, and oversee Iron Chef student competitions in our dining hall in the future,” according to the university. In a press release last week, the company said it will bring a “world-class, student-first dining experience to the Burnaby campus – one that gives back and engages with the local and international community.” The company highlighted its corporate social responsibility initiative:Thinking Ahead Giving Back. Martin Pochurko, SFU’s vice president, finance and administration, said the initiative was a “game-changer” for the university. “Their new commitment to local procurement, social innovation and giving back

to the community really resonates with us,” he said in the press release. The details of how Thinking Ahead Giving Back will work at SFU, however, have yet to be worked out. “As TAGB is still in its first year, Chartwells is in the process of working with our educational partners to develop location specific events and activities,” Compass communications manager Laurelle Knox wrote in an email. “We will work collaboratively with SFU to develop programs that are important to the students, staff and SFU community.” Chartwells will offer employment to SFU students, according to Knox, and the company has “committed to transition the current SFU associates to Compass,” she said.

City now Becoming a new parent is like swinging at a piñata blindfolded Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

The act of becoming a parent reminds me of participating in a piñata party for the first time. You decide you’re ready to go all in and take your spot in line – eagerly awaiting your turn.You can’t wait to take a swing at the dangling donkey and are confident that you have planned out just the right moves. As you step up to the front of the line, ready for your turn, someone explains the rules to you.They tell you that all you have to do is take the stick, hit the pinata and out comes the candy. In theory it sounds so easy – so gratifying. Then they mention you will be blindfolded and, to make matters worse, they’re going to spin you around five times so you’re dizzy and disoriented. Still driven by the prom-

ise of a prize, you stagger in, blind, wobbly and full of determination. After a few hits – and a whole lot of misses – the time’s up and you’ve either hit the jackpot or gone down swinging, never giving up on the dream. Parenting is much the same. Everyone goes in thinking they’ve cracked the code, with careful moves and the promise of success. But everyone is caught off guard when they discover they’re going in blind and racing against the clock to get it right. The truth is, even as a parent of three kids, I still have no idea whether my choices are going to directly result in the jackpot prize – happy human beings who make a positive impact on the world – or if all of my hard work will have little impact on the final outcome of how my little humans turn out. As “practised” parents, we are the kids stand-

ing on the sidelines – the ones who have already taken our swing at the pinata. We watch – often with envy – as the “new kids” step up for their first turn, with hope in their eyes and no clue about what’s about to occur. We want to tell them how to do it right, so they can

Everyone goes in thinking they’ve cracked the code succeed on the first swing, but we also know that we don’t have all of the answers – that no one has fully cracked the code and found the technique that promises the best results. So, some of us stand quietly on the sidelines, knowing that there’s nothing we can do but cheer on our friends and hope for the best.

Others encourage our parenting peers to give it their all – we tell them to swing their hardest, to reach higher, to never give up even when they fall, because they’re so close.We tell them how we did it when it was our turn, how we made lots of connections, and maybe even had a big win. The main reason why the practiced parents always want to give advice is because we’ve walked in your shoes, and while we may have taken a different path or a different approach, the end goal remains the same. Please know that we just want to help, because like the kids watching on at a piñata party, a big win is a win for all. In the end, we all just want to share the candy that falls.

Burnaby Board of Trade voices support for gondola to SFU The Burnaby Board of Trade has joined a growing list of voices supporting the Burnaby Mountain gondola transit project to Simon Fraser University. BBOT president and CEO Paul Holden has written a formal letter to Burnaby council asking that the city and TransLink “begin the next stage of consultations and planning so that this exciting proposal can move forward.” SFU has been pitching the urban gondola to serve students, staff, faculty and the residents of the UniverCity development. Holden’s letter says that transit demands up Burnaby Mountain are increasing and so alternatives to buses are needed. “Today, 25,000 people commute up and down Burnaby Mountain each day,” Holden writes. “The current number of commuters, coupled with the continued expansion of the campus and the maturation of the UniverCity community, underscores the need for new, innovative transportation infrastructure to support SFU into the future.The Burnaby Board of Trade sees the proposed Burnaby Mountain gondola as the right choice for that infrastructure. “As currently proposed, the gondola would be a marked improvement over the current bus-based transportation options, offering faster, safer, greener and more reliable service for the students, faculty residents and visitors who commute to and from Burnaby Mountain.” The gondola will move

HighlandTurfFarm.ca All in: This is the cover of a brochure that has been put together by Simon Fraser University about the benefits of a gondola up Burnaby Mountain. PHOTO SCREENSHOT

The gondola would be a marked improvement over the current busbased transportation options. 3,000 passengers per hour, reduce travel time to six minutes, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2,348 tonnes, according to the BBOT, and “make Burnaby Mountain more safely accessible during inclement weather, all via a unique transportation mode which could become a destination in-and-of itself.” According to a gondola project brochure produced by SFU, “Burnaby Mountain has among the worst performing bus routes in the region, creating some of the longest commute times in Canada.” SFU has 35,000 students, 1,000 faculty, 5,600 staff, while UniverCity has more

than 5,000 residents – a figure that will be growing to nearly 10,000 once all the planned condo towers are completed in the next few years. According to SFU, “at peak hours, commuters see up to four full buses travel past them, doubling the length of their journey up and down the mountain. Bus service is ranked in the bottom 10 per cent of routes in the region in terms of overcrowding, ontime performance and bus bunching.” SFU says that an urban gondola would free up 26 TransLink buses and carry as many as 3,000 people an hour in half the ride time

from Production Way SkyTrain station. The project cost is estimated at $197 million. The BBOT, however, wants the city and TransLink to think even bigger. “While the Burnaby Board of Trade supports the project as proposed, we would in fact encourage that it be built with significantly greater capacity to allow the gondola to serve Burnaby well into the future,” writes Holden. “The costs involved in increasing the capacity at construction would likely be modest when amortized over the life of the project and compared with the costs of expanding capacity at a later date. With the number of commuters on Burnaby Mountain expected to increase to 40,000 by 2030, the gondola should be built envisioning these future needs.” - Chris Campbell

Celebrating Seniors

Seniors’ care changes are a long time coming: report

I think the public would expect more mostly focused on smaller incremental improvements,” Chalke said. “Frankly, in seven years I, and I think the public, would expect more in terms of improving critically important services for our aging population, some of whom are extremely frail and vulnerable.” WHAT’S LEFT TO DO According to the press release, key outstanding recommendations from the 2012 Ombudsperson’s report include: ! Enacting several pieces of legislation that have been passed by the Legislative Assembly but have still not been brought into force including: changes to the Community Care and Assisted Living Act that would allow seniors to live in assisted living settings longer

by receiving additional care; changes to the Residential Tenancy Act that would give tenancy protections to assisted-living residents; and Part 3 of the Health Care (Consent) and Care Facility (Admission) Act that would add safeguards to the residential care admissions process ensuring capable seniors are not being admitted against their will and providing for legal substitute decision-making by family members where the senior is not mentally capable. ! Conducting a full systemic evaluation of the effectiveness and cost of the home support program – this has not occurred and the Ombudsperson continues to receive complaints about home support services, including the hours of service provided and the overall quality of care. ! Ensuring sufficient staff to meet seniors’ care needs in residential care. In 2012, the Ombudsperson recom-

mended that a minimum standard of 3.36 daily direct care hours to each resident be achieved by 2014/15. These standards were to be monitored, enforced and publicly reported. In September 2018, government committed to provide fund-

ing that will allow the 3.36 hour standard to be met as an average across each health authority by 2021 – almost a full decade after the Ombudsperson’s initial recommendation. ! Enforcing standards of care in residential care – the

report recommended that by April 1, 2014, regulatory standards would apply to areas such as bathing frequency, dental care, call bell response times and culturally appropriate services. The full report is at www. bcombudsperson.ca.

WHAT’S BEEN DONE The report noted some of the key recommendations of the report that have been implemented, including: ! The Seniors Advocate identifies, collects and publicly reports on key home and community care data highlighting trends in seniors’ services.The Advocate reports on systemic issues impacting seniors and assists seniors and their families by providing information and referrals. ! The Assisted Living Registry, which oversees the registration of and investi-

gates complaints about assisted living facilities in British Columbia, has improved its internal procedures for investigations, including time limits for responding to complaints. ! The Ministry of Health and health authorities have developed some standardized performance management requirements to measure the quality of home-support services. ! Information has been enhanced for seniors who are facing financial hardship in regards to how they can have home and community care service fees reduced. “The actions taken to date, while welcome, have

NELSON AVE

The Office of the Ombudsperson has determined that key recommendations from a wide-ranging investigation of seniors care and services are still outstanding – seven years later. In February 2012, the Office of the Ombudsperson released The Best of Care: Getting it Right for Seniors in British Columbia, a twovolume report that included 176 recommendations designed to improve home support, assisted living and residential care services. In a recent update, the Ombudsperson found less than half the recommendations aimed at the Ministry of Health and health authorities have been implemented, including legislative changes that would make significant improvements to service quality and the protection of seniors’ rights. “While I recognize the Ministry has taken some steps to improve seniors’ care, the larger tangible actions we recommended seven years ago that would significantly improve the quality of care have still not been implemented,” Ombudsperson Jay Chalke said in a news release.

Communitynow School district celebrates new French partnership Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Local French immersion students are getting ready to connect with pen pals in the south of France as the first fruits of a partnership between the Burnaby school district and the Académies d’Aix-Marseille/Nice. A memorandum of understanding between the district and the académies (the French equivalent of school districts), was signed at École Aubrey Elementary School on April 16. Three schools in France and five French immersion schools in Burnaby (Seaforth, Marlborough, Westridge, Cascade Heights and Aubrey) will be the first to connect. “Our buddy class is really excited to have pen pals in France,” Aubrey Grade 5 student Cristian Guadagno said at last week’s event. Future outcomes of the partnership could include teaching assistants from France helping in local classrooms and Burnaby students travelling to the

south France to fine-tune their accents and soak-in French culture. GROWING INTEREST French immersion enrolment in the Burnaby school district has grown by nearly 25 per cent in the last 10 years, and Francophone education has grown by 40 per cent. This new partnership will give those students new ways to enhance their learning, according to school board vice-chair Jen Mezei.

“The curriculum offers students the opportunity to explore and better understand the realities of their own culture as well as the cultures of the French speaking world, and what better way to enrich our students’ learning environment than through this kind of partnership today,” she said. The partnership will benefit French districts too, according to Christophe Gargot, director of international relations for Académies d’Aix-Marseille/Nice.

“France is well known as a country where we do not know how to learn foreign languages,” he said. “In Europe, we are one of the worst countries for speaking English, for example, even if we learn English for more than 15 years in the schools,

meaning that the way we learn, we teach foreign languages is not the proper way. … We have many things to learn from you.” Burnaby is the 11th B.C. district to sign a partnership agreement with a counterpart in France since

the provincial government spearheaded a mission to France in April 2018 to recruit French teachers, foster more French cultural experiences and improve French language skills in B.C. classrooms.

She’s breaking down arthritis stereotypes Desirée Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

One out of every five people is affected by arthritis in Canada. Most people, however, don’t normally think of arthritis as a disease that impacts young people and that’s exactly the stereotype Burnaby resident Eileen Davidson is trying to break down. Davidson was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia – all before her 33rd birthday. On top of that, Davidson also has general anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. At first, her doctors misdiagnosed her with carpal tunnel syndrome and believed Davidson was experiencing repetitive pain injuries because of her career as an esthetician. Being a little bored and having been placed on longterm disability, Davidson decided to volunteer with the Arthritis Society, Arthritis Research Canada and

Pain BC in hopes of providing support for people who also have arthritis. Davidson also writes in various newsletters to help bring light to the hardships the disease brings, specifically for young people. “I like educating people about the illness because it is a lot more severe than most people actually think it is,” Davidson said.

It is a lot more severe than most people actually think it is.

Garnering her international attention from Inked Magazine to BBC News, Davidson also has her own personal blog where she shares the most difficult parts of her experience being a young single mother living with arthritis. At one point, she states

she couldn’t hold her infant son because of the pain. She said the most arduous part about arthritis is the unrelenting fatigue that comes along with it, adding that the energy of autoimmune arthritis and a toddler did not match. Adrienne Dalla-Longa, director of volunteer engagement at the Arthritis Society said she and Davidson have appeared on Breakfast Television Vancouver to discuss the stigma surrounding arthritis, explaining that the disease knows no age, gender or sexual orientation. It is Davidson’s willingness and ability to be candid and raw about her experience navigating chronic illness that makes readers have an affinity for her work, said Dalla-Longa. “She’s quite matter of fact about how arthritis has impacted her life,” Dalla-Longa said. Davidson said there’s still not enough information and education given to people who are living with chronic

pain and she hopes she can be a voice for those people. “I like to share my story in hopes that people feel less alone and that they know there is hope when living with chronic pain,” Davidson said. In its 10-year anniversa-

ry, Davidson is this year’s marketing and recruitment coordinator for the annual Walk Arthritis event hosted by the Arthritis Society and she hopes she is able to break common misconceptions about arthritis while raising funds for research

and treatment for Canadians living with arthritis. To take part and fundraise for the 2019 Walk For Arthritis in Vancouver, taking place on Saturday, June 1, register at www.walkfor arthritis.ca.

L’Arche halfway to its goal in $30-million fundraising campaign L’Arche Greater Vancouver is halfway to its $30 million fundraising goal to redevelop its Burnaby property to provide more homes and programming space. At a press conference, representatives from the charity announced they had raised approximately $15 million from B.C Housing, the City of Burnaby and the Sisters of St. Anne. The money will help pay for a new three-storey wood-frame building that will replace its existing Sussex Avenue headquarters. The new building will include three “homes” where people with and without developmental disabilities live in a communal setting, 10 independent units and 29 affordable housing units. There will also be community inclusion spaces, a rooftop garden and offices. The communal living approach means this new facility will provide more than a place to sleep for many, L’Arche’s executive director, Denise Haskett, said. “Our vision ... which is the core to L’Arche, is about creating community,” she

City now Jagmeet Singh memoir released this week Jagmeet Singh is a cyclist, lawyer, Burnaby South MP and leader of the federal New Democratic Party. He’s adding “author” to that list, with the publication of a memoir, Love & Courage: My Story of Family, Resilience, and Overcoming the Unexpected, released on April 23. The title comes from a viral moment during Singh’s campaign for NDP leader, in which Singh responded to a heckler by saying Canadians must respond to hate with “love and courage.” “This book is the story of my family and my personal experiences growing up – sometimes difficult ones. I often felt alone, unworthy, ashamed,” Singh said in a release from publisher Simon and Schuster Canada. “I hope this book helps some people feel less alone and know that they deserve love and happiness, no matter what they’ve gone through.” While Singh is hardly the

first politician to release a book during an election year, the publisher claims Love & Courage is “not a political memoir.” “In this personal and heartfelt memoir, readers are invited to walk with Jagmeet through childhood to adulthood as he learns powerful, moving and sometimes traumatic lessons about overcoming adversity and the impact of not be-

longing,” the release says. “It’s a story of family, love, and courage, and how strengthening the connection between us all is the way to build a better world.” Singh was elected leader of the NDP in 2017, before winning a byelection in February 2019 to gain his first seat in Parliament. He was previously a member of provincial parliament in Ontario.

Summer 2019 Paddling Program Guide

Procrastinating in regard to maintaining teeth and gums can prove harmful. Regular dental checkups and cleanings can reduce discomfort and expose conditions before they become especially problematic. Root canal is one treatment men and women fear when going to the dentist. But root canals are often less painful than the symptoms that require they be performed. The American Dental Association says this is what people can expect during a root canal. · The tooth is numbed for comfort. · A thin sheet of latex rubber is placed over the tooth to keep it dry, and an opening is made through the crown of the tooth. · The nerve or pulp is removed. The excavated canal is then cleaned and shaped. · Medicine may be placed in the pulp chamber to deter bacterial growth. · The root canal is then filled with a rubber-like material to seal it. A metal or plastic rod or post may be placed in the canal to help retain the filling material so it can properly support the tooth. · A temporary filling is placed in the tooth. During a subsequent treatment, the temporary filling will be replaced with a permanent crown or filling. Root canals are nothing to fear. Such procedures are routine and generally produce little to no pain.

The Consul General of France in Vancouver said he is encouraged by the support pouring into his office after a catastrophic fire engulfed the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris on April 15.

It’s part of our daily life in Paris

Philippe Sutter was in Burnaby at the signing of an exchange agreement between the school district and the Académies d’AixMarseille/Nice in the South of France. “We were very moved by all the messages we received, also by Twitter and Facebook, and of course, by phone,” Sutter told the NOW. The fire at the cathedral had reportedly been contained by early Tuesday morning after a 12-hour battle against the blaze, but the iconic spire and roof of the 850-year-old structure was destroyed. Although Sutter is originally from the Alsace region in northeastern France, he said the destruction to the cathedral felt personal since he has lived in Paris and, as a Catholic, attended masses there. “It’s part of our daily life in Paris to enjoy this masterpiece,” he said. Sutter said international fundraising efforts to restore the building, which he described as a part of a “com-

Burnaby site of measles ‘catch-up’ campaign Public health nurses are holding school clinics for students in need of an immunization updates Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby students are catching up on their measles immunizations. Fraser Health Authority nurses set up shop in the Byrne Creek Community School library last Thursday and spent the day poking students who’ve never been immunized or who needed a booster shot. It was one of two clinics the health authority has scheduled at Burnaby schools in a provincewide blitz to increase immunization levels before the end of the school year and prepare parents for the fall, when it will become mandatory to report school kids’ immunization status. Another clinic takes place at Moscrop Secondary this Thursday, but only Moscrop students who’ve gotten a letter from the health authority will be able to get their vaccinations there. The provincial health ministry announced the measles immunization catch-up campaign in March, and Fraser Health sent out letters this month to students whose records show their immunizations weren’t up-to-date. “It doesn’t mean they weren’t immunized, it means our records show

Armed and ready: Above, Fraser Health nurse Michelle Allen explains the vaccine to Byrne Creek Grade 12 student Osmond Chong. At right, top: Grade 12 student Faisal Abdul gets a measles shot.

Some may have one dose, some none they are not fully immunized,” spokesperson Tasleem Juma told the NOW. “Some may have one dose, some none. Others might have both but got them outside the health authority and they just need to send us their records.”

Juma said the health authority is still reviewing its records and may end up adding more clinics if needed. Fraser Health already has copies of the immunization records of kids immunized by the health authority’s public health nurses. For children immunized outside of the health region or by a family doctor, nurse practitioner or pharmacist, Fraser Health is asking parents to email records to reportimmunizations@

Burnaby Lake eagles mourn destroyed nest John Preissl is sad. Normally the Burnaby nature photographer feels pumped while taking photos of local wildlife. On April 14, however, he witnessed something truly depressing. The Burnaby Lake eagles nest that Preissl says has been in place for about a decade had blown down the day before – destroying the eggs inside of it. Preissl saw the eagles hunting ducks on the lake, but then things turned sombre. “For the rest of the day, the eagle pair were mourning in the eagle nest tree and surrounding trees,” he said. “It was sad to witness. I told wildlife rescue about the nest.The lady told me that there is still time for the pair to try again. I don’t think so, though. It will take a long time to rebuild the nest if they do. I will check over the next few days to see if they are rebuilding.” Preissl said the nest had been there for years and was exposed to the wind and el-

rain,” he said. “This happens fairly often all over the coast.” On a positive note, Preissl said, an eagle pair have “taken over the big red-tailed hawks’ nest at Deer Lake. Eagles have not nested at Deer Lake in many years. We are keeping a close eye on them to see if they have eggs. It is difficult to see.”

GYMNASTICS

Alpha gymnast delivers on can-do attitude Burquitlam teen reclaims passion for gymnastics after 10-year absence from the high-intensity sport Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

What was once long ago became the here-and-now for École Alpha Secondary’s Sava Savkovic. It wasn’t just once, but twice now that the former gold-level soccer player aced another sport – gymnastics – at the B.C. High School championship meet last month. The Burquitlam resident demonstrated that last year’s return to the sport – after a 10-year absence – was no fluke, capturing the male Level 2 title, picking up top marks in three of the five events. Although most would be surprised that someone could come back to such a regimented and exacting activity after having just little more than a year of it as a child and then ace it, that is exactly what the teen had planned to do. “I set my goals pretty high,” Savkovic said of his re-entry into the sport last year. “When I started (last year) my dad thought competing in the provincial (high school) competition wouldn’t be smart; that I wouldn’t be ready – there were like four months of training before the provincials. “Just the four months of training, which I did pretty intensely. I set my goals really high, I wanted to compete for Level 1 and I wanted to win as provincial champion, but I wasn’t really sure.” He won the Level 1 competition, and this year jumped up to Level 2, and didn’t flinched. At last month’s championships in Delta, Savkovic scored 73.100, edging Darryl Lacoste of Correlieu’s 72.400 for the all-around gold. The Burquitlam resident counted gold in floor, rings and parallel bars, while finishing third in both pommel horse and vault. You could say it seemed like old times, but, as a five-year-old, Savkovic didn’t get a huge taste for competition before leaving the sport behind. Although his father is a coach of the sport, exter-

nal pressures like cost and travel forced the young boy to focus closer to home.That led him to soccer, where the former Holden Avenue resident rose up the ladder with Cliff Avenue and Coquitlam Metro-Ford. But a few years ago, he found the spark for that sport flickering, then snuffed out. Suddenly, his passion for competition and sports turned his attention to something completely different. “I just kind of lost my love for (soccer),” he said. “I was, in a way, dreading going to practice. It just wasn’t fun anymore. I decided to quit and after that, for a cou-

Lakers long for fast start to jr. season Play

You can’t have spring without some optimism. On that front, the Burnaby junior A Lakers are here to deliver. From new head coach Russ Heard’s perspective, rolling up the sleeves and getting down to work is a big part of restoring the Lakers’ once illustrious reputation. “As we told the guys in training camp, Burnaby hasn’t won a lot of games in recent years, so the first thing we’re going to do is try to instill a strong, cohesive culture,”

ple of months I wasn’t doing anything, then I decided I wanted to do something and started back up in gymnastics. It just went from there.” Although last year he worked at a Richmond club where his dad coaches, he had to find a new place to workout this year. Savkovic joined some friends at a drop-in group at UBC, making the threehour, round trip commute threetimes a week. Of the five events, the ones where strength was a major component, like parallel bars, rings and pommel horse, gave him the greatest satisfaction.

“A lot of the strength events in gymnastics are my better ones, like rings and parallel bars. I’d say parallel bars are my favoutie. My floor improved a lot from last year, and that’s from the flexibility I worked on.” The payoff was well worth it, he said. “I was (confident).When I competed Level 1 last year I was unsure of how I’d do. I didn’t know how the competition would look like (this year) but I knew how I was and how much I’d practiced, so I was confident in what I could do. I was confident I’d get a podium finish.”

said Heard, a member of the Lacrosse Hall of Fame. “We only have nine returning players, so a majority of the players are new to the Lakers and to junior A.There’s a learning curve there.” Improving on a 2-18-1 record shouldn’t be too daunting, but in a league where usually it’s a two- or three-horse race, the obstacles are many. Give Heard and GM Brad Parker credit for tackling the big problems head-on. The team has a core of veterans, includ-

And while he’s keeping his options open to possibly continuing the sport as a recreational training hobby, Savkovic says the biggest reward was in knowing that he could challenge himself, and succeed. “That’s what it is. I learned that taking risks is a huge part of life. If you take a risk and set your mind to it, it can really pay off, especially if you re as determined as I was. Especially this year, travelling to UBC, took a lot out of me, but I set my mind to it. I believe determination, along with motivation and taking risks, are a great thing to do.”

ing Dylan Kaminski, Ethan McLaren, Kieran McKay, Liam McIntosh and netminder Matteo Tack to lean on. “We have a lot of things for the players to take in – basically a new system, new linemates, new coaches,” noted Heard. “At this stage our goaltending and defence will be strong, and I think our scoring has potential.” The squad kicks off the new season Saturday in Ladner, with their home opener Monday, 8 p.m., vs. Langley at Copeland Arena.

Burnaby teams sail into Coastal semiﬁnals dolson@burnabynow.com

It’s a long way to Tipperary, as the century-old song would say. It’s also a lengthy route to the provincial cup – but one of the last routes is through the Coastal Cup. Burnaby has a bunch of soccer teams that have advanced to their respective semifinals, with momentum one of the benefits to the playoff run. Some of the teams already have berths to provincial cup play booked, but getting some Coastal Cup bling is more than mere icing. Here’s a round-up of Burnaby’s teams on the brink. Burnaby u16 boys FC In their first taste of action since spring break, the Burnaby District Metro Select FC barrelled past North Van 4-2 in the Coastal A Cup quarterfinal two weeks ago. Trailing 1-0 after 10 minutes, Burnaby tallied twice before halftime, then found themselves tied with 30 minutes to go. Burnaby notched the final two markers to advance to Saturday’s semifinal. Joey Cannova and Jacob Mastromonaco each netted a pair, while centre-back Lazar Kragulj and Manolo Aguilar did a tremendous job of keeping North Van’s

strikers in check. Now, they line up against an underdog Port Moody Selects team. The game is slated for Saturday, 10 a.m. at Burnaby Lake West.

Burnaby u17 girls Dynamite A long fuse looked to be a problem early in the season. But for the Burnaby District Metro Select u17 girls Dynamite, what was absorbed in a slow start to the season has now been part of the impact they’ve delivered in their cup run. The Dynamite got to the Coastal A Cup semifinal by clipping Vancouver Island-Gorge 3-2 two weeks ago. Burnaby rocked to a 3-0 lead. Ashlyn Nance and Clara Liu opened the scoring, and Lucy Robinson tallied the eventual game winner early in the second half. Although the Islanders netted two to narrow the gap, the Dynamite defence, led by Mikaela Viani,Taya Batiste and Gurneet Sidhu, stood their ground. For Burnaby, which reached last year’s Coastal final and provincials, this season began more with a whimper than a bang.They didn’t win until their fifth game, and while they rallied to post the

fourth-best record at 7-6-4, a bevy of injuries presented a big obstacle to their goal of reaching the finals. “Our team is no stranger to adversity,” head coach Ivan Svetic said. “The biggest adversity we’ve had to face again this season was injury, and long term major injuries. Nothing phases (this) group.” The Dynamite host the VUFC Comets on Sunday, 3 p.m. at Burnaby Lake West.

Rolan Amin. Controlling the midfield and moving the ball forward was a team effort, led by Max Lazarevic and Nicholas Svetic. Defensively, David Dorland and Maks Tomljenovic helped goalkeepers Antonio Moretto and Roko Vukic lock down a shared clean sheet. They face regular season champ North Vancouver, which went 160-2.They meet Saturday, 2 p.m. at North Van’s Fen Burdett Park.

Burnaby u13 boys United It’s been a steady climb for the Burnaby District Metro Select u13 boys United. In a regular season where they lost just three times and doubled the opposition in scoring (39 to 19), the squad has given coach Jovan Lazarevic a lot to be happy about en route to the semifinal. “The season has gone extremely well for the team and they have shown steady improvement all year,” said Lazarevic, who coaches with Ivan Svetic. “Our goal was to have a long run through Coastal Cup and we’re pleased with how things have gone so far.” They blanked Surrey United 3-0 in the quarterfinals two weeks ago, getting two goals from Markus Rukavina and a single by

Burnaby u14 girls Storm With their backs to the wall twice, the Burnaby District Metro Select girls Storm poured it on to earn the victory. Not even a deficit in overtime could stop them. Burnaby advanced to the Coastal A Cup semifinals by edging the Victoria Surge 3-2, thanks to some heroic offensive drives. Put in a hole early after Victoria scored first, the Storm stuck to the gameplan. AnabelleYee served up a perfect pass to Nathalie Burkett near the box who tied the game. The contest moved to extra time, with the Surge burying a free kick. With time winding down, Burkett tied it with her second goal, and Yee capped it, nailing a corner kick that deflected in off a defender. Centre-back Eileen Culleton

was a force all game, while Katie Khaodhiar, Adriana Primerano and Ellysia Chisholm were tireless performers. Burnaby plays Coquitlam Metro-Ford on Sunday, 1 p.m. at Burnaby Lake.

Burnaby u13 metro girls Fire The Burnaby District Metro Select u13 metro girls Fire enter this weekend’s A Cup semifinal against Richmond having survived back-to-back penalty kick tests. To get past Coquitlam MetroFord 2-1 two weeks ago, goalie Gina Favero made a huge stop on the first penalty kick, clinching the team’s biggest win of the season. Dariella Lopez scored in regulation as well as as in the shootout, as did Tomiko Kong. Lishan Melles Hewitt and Amelia Mori offered dominated at key positions, while Noemi Flores was a constant hawk on possession. The backline was led by the dynamic duo of Indira Chiang and Natalia Pugliese. The team now lines up against Richmond for a Sunday, 9:30 a.m. date at Burnaby Lake West. – to read more on Burnaby’s Coastal Cup semifinalists, go to www.burnabynow.com.

Federal stress test caused up to $15B drop in new mortgages: economist The federal government’s mortgage stress test has done its job and it’s now time to rethink the rules, according to a leading economist.

Tal wrote that it is time to “revisit” the test, particularly the rule that buyers must qualify at two per cent (200 basis points) above their contracted mortgage rate. He wrote, “The stress test imposed on the market was probably necessary, since there was a need to save some Canadian borrowers from themselves. But is 200 basis points the right number? At the end of the day, there is no real science behind that number. Let’s remember that the rule was introduced in an environment of an already slowing market, and that since then, the Bank of Canada has hiked rates by 75 basis points, and the five-year mortgage rate has risen by 35 basis points.”

Benjamin Tal, chief economist at CIBC, published a report last week citing CIBC research findings that the B-20 stress test has been responsible for a $13-15 billion decline in new mortgage loan values since its January 2018 introduction. The stress test on new mortgage applications, launched by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), ensures home buyers are able to cover their payments at the Bank of Canada’s five-year posted rate or two per cent above their actual mortgage rate, whichever is the higher.

Blamed for market slowdown

The CIBC research found that “the vast majority of the decline in mortgage originations in 2018 was due to fewer borrowers (down by 4.9 per cent), as opposed to a smaller average mortgages. Overall, according to various sources, B-20 accounted for 50-60 per cent (or $13-$15 billion) of the overall decline in originations throughout 2018.” Time to ‘revisit’ test

Since its inception, the federal mortgage stress test has been largely blamed by the real estate industry for the slowdown in housing demand. B.C. home sales slid 23 per cent year-over-year to a total of 5,707 resale transactions in March, according to the latest data from the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA). In Greater Vancouver, home sales dropped 31.6 per cent in March compared with the previous year, with 1,745 units changing hands in the month, down from 2,551 in March 2018.

Tal said that the stress test was likely needed at the time, but it doesn’t account for rising average incomes, increases in home equity over the course of a mortgage term, or the reduced risk of longer-term mortgages. He also said that it is partly to blame for the rise in alternative lending.

“B.C. home sales continue to be adversely impacted by federal mortgage policy,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA’s chief economist. “The erosion of affordability caused by the B-20 stress test has

created near recession level housing demand despite the province boasting the lowest unemployment rates in a decade. The average home sale price in B.C. fell 5.4 per cent year over year to $687,720, according to the BCREA. In Greater Vancouver, the average sale price dropped 3.9 per cent year-over-year to $982,654, compared with $1,022,523. Not a game-changer In his report, CIBC’s Tal also assessed the new First Time Home Buyer Incentive, which was announced by the Liberal Party as part of the 2019 Federal Budget. The program is set to offer interestfree loans to first-time buyers up to five per cent of the purchase value on a resale home, or 10 per cent on a new-build home, in a shared-equity scheme with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The incentive is applicable on mortgages of up to four times the applicants’ household income, resulting in a maximum home purchase price of around $505,000, assuming a five per cent deposit and a $480,000 mortgage value plus CMHC loan. Tal said he believed the program would only be used by a small percentage of people. He wrote, “We estimate that, fully utilized, this plan will impact only three per cent of borrowers and 0.12 per cent of mortgage origination dollars — not quite a game-changer.”

Alfie grew up in Burnaby and graduated from Burnaby South. Karen and Alf raised three children while he worked as a guard at Oakalla Prison at night and attended UBC & SFU by day. His teaching career at North Delta Senior Secondary School was exemplary as he touched the hearts of many staff and students. As a result of his genuine desire to make people’s lives better, Alf was one of the first recipients of the Queens Jubilee Medal for Outstanding Achievement for Public Service.

He was a man of integrity, humility, and he called it the way it was. His love, humour, charisma and his unique perspective on the world are simply replaceable. We were all privileged to know him, he was a “Giant”of a man and we will always remember his smiling face suntanning on his deck in White Rock!

Symphony In The Park at Deer Lake

best outdoor concert of the year

!! SYMPHONY IN THE PARK

very summer, thousands of music lovers descend on Deer Lake for the city’s favourite outdoor concert of the year: Symphony in the Park. This year will mark the 32nd annual summer performance of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra on the concert lawn at Deer Lake. The performance is an extravaganza of popular classics that draws

more than 10,000 concertgoers a year. Each summer, people of all ages turn out well in advance of concert time with their lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy a picnic dinner under the summer skies. This year, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra is planning to make the popular all-ages event even bigger, adding family activities and participation from the VSO

School of Music to keep young folks entertained in the afternoon. There will also be a pre-concert performance by members of the VSO Orchestral Institute. A few pro tips for those who want to attend: Arrive early (at least a couple of hours in advance) and, if possible, plan to take transit or make alternative travel

arrangements, since parking around Deer Lake will be packed to overﬂowing. This year’s concert is set for Sunday, June 30. See www.vancouversymphony.ca/ summer-2019 for all the details.

best politician

!! MAYOR MIKE HURLEY

ayor Mike Hurley has been voted Burnaby’s best politician in the Burnaby NOW’s 2019 Best Of Awards. The former ﬁreﬁghter and union leader was elected to the city’s top job this past October, beating longtime incumbent Derek Corrigan. Hurley’s campaign slogan was “Time for change” and the people of Burnaby appeared to agree. The political newcomer not only beat Corrigan by a comfortable margin – 26,260 to 20,333 – he received the most votes at all of

the city’s 34 voting places. Hurley promised to make housing more affordable, to invest more in recreation facilities and to be a better listener. So far, he’s shown no indication he plans to break any of those vows. He recently convened a new housing task force, opened four “warming centres” for homeless people and forwarded plans to update or replace four recreation facilities. The new mayor has also promised to increase policing and add more sidewalks and improve local parks.

best burnaby celebrity

!! MICHAEL BUBLÉ

urnaby has pretty solid history of celebrities. Some who regularly get votes in this category include actor Carrie-Anne Moss, NHL’s Joe Sakic and Global News’ Squire Barnes, but this category could in fact be called the battle of the Michaels – Michael J. Fox and Michael Bublé as both get a majority of the votes. Michael Bublé won this year’s Best of Burnaby celebrity – the eighth consecutive win. Bublé is back with the new album called Love after the arrival of a baby girl named Vida with his wife Luisana Lopilato after having taken extensive time off performing to take care of his young son while he was battling cancer. Part of

Michael’s appeal in Burnaby is his strong ties to the community, including building a new home here. He’s been known to support the Burnaby Hospital Foundation, the Burnaby RCMP, the Canucks Autism Network, Canucks Family Education Centre and Canuck Place hospice. Bublé got his start as a teenager, playing gigs whenever he could at nightclubs and weddings. His star rose with regular television appearances on the Vicki Gabereau show, a national broadcast shot in Vancouver. He hasn’t looked back, winning fans both here and beyond as well as 13 Juno Awards. For more information please visit michaelbublé.com.

Antonia Beck of Burnaby Neighbourhood House

best community service organization

!! BURNABY NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSE

or the third year running, Burnaby Neighbourhood House has won top votes for Best Community Service Organization among our readers. Given the cultural diversity of Burnaby (more than 60 per cent of its population identiﬁes as a visible minority) it’s no wonder that this organization is so popular. The primary purpose of the Burnaby Neighbourhood House is to provide a place for new immigrants to come for information, support

and resources, and a place where people can gather, whether they’re seniors, youth, families or individuals. Its underlying philosophy is that everyone should have equal access to community programs and services, and that such programs should be accessible and affordable to all. Volunteers are what make the Neighbourhood House (with its two locations, one in North Burnaby and the other in South Burnaby) a success. They’re an integral part of the

SHOES & REPAIR

wide range of events and services offered such as a paint night, cultural sharing dinners, and the annual open house. Volunteers also help with the fundraising, which includes a number of events throughout the year and is highlighted by an annual gala diamond evening.

best place to walk your dog

!! DEER LAKE

urnaby is blessed with a wide selection of parks scattered within its borders. According to the city’s website, there are close to 100 neighbourhood parks, 13 district parks, six natural feature parks and 15 ravine parks. Standing head and shoulders above these is Deer Lake Park, which has been chosen for the ﬁfth straight year as Burnaby’s Best Place to Walk your Dog. A draw among park visitors is the extensive network of trails that run through the park, allowing people to take a short jaunt or a longer walk through the park.

Although dogs are not allowed along the banks and picnic areas of Deer Lake Park, they are more than welcome on a leash on the trails and green areas, which makes it a popular spot among dog owners in the city. Deer Lake Park is arguably at the cultural heart of the city being situated near Burnaby City Hall, Shadbolt Centre, Deer Lake Gallery and the Burnaby Village Museum. It also hosts a number of outdoor concerts and events throughout the year, including Symphony in the Park in July and Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival in August.

Hats Off Day on Hastings Street

best annual burnaby festival

!! BURNABY HEIGHT’S HATS OFF DAY

he ﬁrst weekend in June not only marks the end of a long winter and wet spring, it also marks Burnaby’s annual Hats Off Day and Burnaby’s Best Annual Festival according to our readers’ poll. This year’s festivities take place on Saturday, June 2, with a parade taking top billing as a main attraction. As with previous years, Hastings Street from Boundary Road to Gamma Avenue closes

down for the event with pedestrians free to mingle afterward to enjoy and explore the displays and vendor wares. Organized by the Heights Merchant Association, Hats Off Day began in 1989 as a chance for business owners in the North Burnaby area surrounding Hastings Street to doff their hats in appreciation to their customers and residents in the area. It’s now grown to Burnaby’s biggest street

festival, attracting an average of 60,000 people every year. To make the fun-ﬁlled activities even more interesting, event organizers plan a different parade theme each year with prizes going to top efforts. Previous years have seen a jungle theme bring out Tarzan and Jane, while this year promises to feature superheroes. In addition to businesses putting out their wares and setting up games, charitable

organizations are also on hand to promote their efforts and do some fundraising, while the Show & Shine brings out the crowds who admire classic and custommade vehicles, trucks and motorcycles. For more Hats Off Day information please visit www.hatsoffday.com or email info@burnabyheights.com or call 604-294-8899.

View towards North Burnaby and Vancouver from Burnaby Mountain

best view in burnaby

!! BURNABY MOUNTAIN

t’s no surprise that Burnaby’s tallest vantage-point offers some of the city’s best views as it wins top votes in our Best of Burnaby poll. The panoramic views include those of the Burnaby Lake greenery, the growing skyline around Metrotown, the North Shore mountains and, on a clear day, downtown Vancouver. In addition to being on the way to Simon

Fraser University, this park is home to Horizons Restaurant located within the park’s grounds, the photogenic Kamui Mintara totem sculptures, as well as 26 trails covering an area of 28 km. A large number of wildlife also call the mountain home, as blacktail deer, coyotes and bald eagles are commonly seen. Black bears and cougars may be less common but are most

deﬁnitely hidden among the woods. Going back in history, the area that is now Burnaby Mountain was ﬁrst logged in 1903 and later became a popular hiking destination in the 1920s. It was declared a park for recreational use in 1957 and, in 1995, SFU transferred 820 of its acres to the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. A year-round destination, Burnaby Mountain offers each

season’s prime views as spring and summer host a bloom of colours from the variety of different ﬂowering plants, including more than 900 bushes in the Centennial Rose Garden. Fall features peak colours as the countless trees bring out their brightest leaves of the year, and winter snows blanket the world in a quiet and beautiful white.
