Polarizing PPC candidate not running in Burnaby Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
The People’s Party candidate from the Feb. 25 Burnaby South byelection will not be running in the same riding in this fall’s federal election. Instead, Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson will be carrying the fledgling party’s banner to Alberta, to run in Red Deer-Lacombe. The Christian blogger and former host of the 700 Club Canada TV show came in fourth in the bye-
lection, losing to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, but attracting more than 10 per cent of the vote – by far the best result of any People’s Party candidate in byelections since its creation. Thompson also ran unsuccessfully for Burnaby school board in October 2018. During the byelection campaign,Thompson criticized Singh as lacking a genuine connection to the community. He had moved to the riding from Ontario to run in the byelection to

Other candidates from the Feb. 25 byelection have said they intend to run in the riding again on Oct. 20, including Singh, Liberal Richard Lee and Conservative Jay Shin. The Green Party did not run a candidate during the byelection out of a “leader’s courtesy” to Singh, but intends to run a candidate in October.

Event highlights rules to follow in the ‘cone zone’
People who work in construction zones are dying because of terrible decisions made by drivers Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
From a shirtless man steering with his knees and playing a ukulele to a woman shaving her legs behind the wheel, Karesse Desmond has seen it all during her 13 years as a flagger. Some of the more common distractions she’s witnessed in construction zones, though, are electronics and makeup. “And what we’re trying to emphasize today is these are the behaviours that we don’t want to see in a cone zone,” she told the NOW at a construction site in Burnaby Monday. Desmond was on Gilmore Avenue near Douglas Road with representatives from WorkSafeBC and the police to kick off the ninth annual Cone Zone Campaign, designed to raise awareness about the risks workers face working on or beside the road. “Distracted driving has really risen,” Desmond said.
“If you’re looking down in your lap at your phone or you’re drinking your coffee and dialling the radio or you’re just not paying attention, that makes my job very difficult.” Thirteen roadside workers were killed and 213 injured in B.C. between 2009 and 2018. In 2018 alone, two workers were killed and 29 injured after being hit by motor vehicles, according to WorkSafe. Sgt. Patrick Davies is still haunted by one fatality he attended in Langley some years ago, when a flagger was hit and killed by an inattentive driver. “What we’re trying to say is that these people deserve to get home safely to their families,” Davies said. “They’re doing the jobs that they’re paid to do.” Flaggers’ and roadside workers’ biggest enemies are inattention and impatience, according to Davies, and he is urging drivers to be patient, keep their eyes up and
CONE ZONE: Police were part of a event this week warning drivers about construction zones. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR pay attention to what flaggers are trying to tell them. “The impatience that the motorist feels, the inattention, we don’t want it to have tragic results,” he said. And, for drivers who want to avoid a hit to the
pocketbook, Monday’s enforcement blitz was a reminder of the financial cost of not obeying the rules: from a $196 fine for not obeying a flagger to a $368 ticket for using an electronic device.
The Cone Zone Campaign, which runs from May to August, coincides with an increase in roadside work through the spring and summer. It aims to reduce the number of deaths and injuries to road-
side workers by increasing awareness of the vulnerability of these worker and encouraging drivers to practise safe driving behaviour in cone zones.

Self-represented Burnaby renter denied fair hearing: judge Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A self-represented Burnaby man whose application to cancel an eviction notice was denied by the Residential Tenancy Branch has won an appeal in B.C. Supreme Court. Deepak Suri got a twomonth eviction notice from his landlord, Swarn Vahra, on Dec. 29, 2018, saying Vahra’s daughter wanted to move into the Edmonds-area home. Suri, however, didn’t believe Vahra was issuing the notice in good faith or that his landlord’s daughter really wanted to move in. He pointed to a meeting Vahra had had with a real estate agent the previous summer to assess the value of the property. He applied to the Residential Tenancy Branch to have the eviction notice cancelled, but his application was denied. It isn’t the first time Suri has had to fight off eviction from Vahra. In June 2018, his landlord served him a 10-day notice
for allegedly failing to pay $10,050 in rent. The RTB cancelled that notice after a hearing. “I presented all the documents of the cheques, two year’s documents, details that this was all paid,” Suri told the NOW. Suri, 60, and his wife, Alka, have lived in the house for nine years. Because of injuries from a car accident last year, Suri said he and his wife are on income assistance while Suri retrains to become an immigration consultant. With their low income and no reference from their now-estranged landlord, the couple is afraid they won’t be able to find housing. “You think during this dispute I did not try?” Suri said. So, when the most recent eviction notice was upheld, Suri filed for a judicial review, arguing in front of a B.C. Supreme Court judge that he hadn’t been given a fair hearing by the RTB arbitrator. He said the arbitrator had allowed Vahra’s son-in-law to translate for Vahra despite

the son-in-law not being a qualified interpreter and despite objections from Suri – a Punjabi speaker – that the translation was inaccurate and biased. He further argued his landlord’s evidence for the RTB hearing had been disorganized, confusing and incomplete; and that Suri’s only witness, his wife, had
not been called to testify. One piece of evidence that Vahra didn’t disclose to Suri but produced for the RTB was an excerpt of his daughter Parmdeep Vahra’s diary purporting to show the days she had booked off work in order to move into the suite occupied by Suri and his wife. (Vahra said he hadn’t dis-
closed the diary entry to Suri because he was concerned about his daughter’s privacy.) B.C. Supreme Court Justice Palbinder Kaur Shergill, however, agreed the hearing had been unfair to Suri. She said the arbitrator had been wrong to rely on Vahra’s son-in-law’s transla-
tion from Punjabi to English. “Given that Mr.Vahra’s credibility was important to the question of good faith, procedural fairness mandated that the arbitrator address Mr. Suri’s legitimate concerns, to ensure that the person interpreting for Mr. Vahra could do so accurately and impartially.” Shergill also agreed Vahra’s failure to disclose the excerpt of his daughter’s diary to Suri before the hearing had been unfair. “Parmdeep Vahra’s evidence that she had taken time off work to move was accepted by the decision-maker and formed part of the analysis of the landlord’s good-faith intentions,” Shergill said. “Fairness dictates that documentary evidence used to buffer Parmdeep’s credibility should have been disclosed to the petitioner so that he had a full opportunity to respond to it.” Shergill set aside both the RTB decision and the eviction notice and awarded costs to Suri.

No arrests in toddler death Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A 16-month-old toddler is dead after being left in a hot car in Burnaby for hours, according to police. Local firefighters responded to the call on Inman Avenue near Kingsway at about 5:45 p.m. on May 9, acting assistant fire Chief DaveYounger told the NOW. Crews arrived to find paramedics taking the unconscious toddler out of the back seat, he said. “The infant was unresponsive,” he said. The father of the child was “totally distraught” and
talking to police when firefighters arrived, according toYounger. Two firefighters accompanied paramedics to Burnaby Hospital to help with CPR on the child. Burnaby RCMP Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh called the death “absolutely heartbreaking,” and urged parents not to leave children unattended in vehicles, especially with rising temperatures. “When you’re transporting your children in a vehicle, please check the vehicle and ensure that you have delivered your child and that they’re no longer in the vehicle when you’re parked
and you’ve gone off to do your business for the day,” she said at a press conference Friday afternoon. Burleigh said the investigation is in the early stages and officers are in the process of interviewing witnesses, family members, neighbours and anyone else in the area. She would not say who found the toddler, who called 911 or exactly how long the child was in the car. Both parents are cooperating with the investigation, according to Burnaby RCMP. No arrests have been made in the case.
Police warn to check for valet keys A single-day spike in auto thefts in Burnaby earlier this month included two vehicles stolen with valet keys, according to police. On May 1, Burnaby RCMP got six reports of stolen vehicles. The thefts occurred overnight all over Burnaby, according to police, and two cases – one in the Burnaby
Mountain area and one in Cascade Heights – saw cars stolen using valet keys. Valet keys can usually unlock the driver’s-side door and start the car but can’t unlock the trunk or the glove box. Many drivers are unaware these keys are in their cars – tucked into owner’s manuals or stored in tool kits in
the trunk. But thieves know, and that’s when thefts from vehicles end up thefts of vehicles, according to Burnaby RCMP. “Police are asking that drivers check their vehicle to see whether or not it may contain a valet key without their knowledge,” stated an RCMP email.

Citynow PIPELINE
Protesters say they haven’t gone away Event on Monday on Burnaby Moutain was the first at the tank farm in several months
Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
Opponents of the Trans Mountain expansion project gathered on Burnaby Mountain Monday for a ceremony and hot dog barbecue. Roughly 20 people gathered near the entrance to the pipeline’s tank farm to smudge, smoke pipes and lay ash across the road. It was the first demonstration in several months at the site, which saw near-daily protests last summer. “We felt like we needed to … get back into ceremony, which hasn’t been happening,” Jim Layden said. Layden, who often sleeps in the nearby Watch House, said Monday’s ceremony was meant to honour four protesters released from prison this week after being convicted of criminal contempt of court for violating a court injunction against interference with pipeline
work. “We felt like there was nothing really being done. Our tree climber kind of woke people from their winter slumber,” Layden said, referring to a 71-yearold protester who recently scaled a tree near Trans Mountain’s Westridge Terminal to remove a metal guard preventing eagles from nesting. He said a new group called the Mountain Protectors has formed to surveil the tank farm.The group will be starting a new campaign soon, Layden said, but he declined to provide details. Layden said he expects the coming months to see pipeline protests ramp back up on Burnaby Mountain. The federal government has pushed back its approval deadline for the project to June 18 as it continues its consultations with Indigenous groups about the impact of the project.

Stolen puppy found all the way in Osoyoos A puppy reported stolen in Burnaby has been recovered in the South Okanagan thanks to the power of social media. Cali, a 15-week-old beagle-spaniel cross, was reported stolen on May 10, according to Osoyoos RCMP. The pup’s owner told police two acquaintances had stolen her and were headed to Quebec. A description of the theft was also posted on Facebook with photos of the suspects. An employee at an Osoyoos retail outlet saw the post and recalled two people in the store earlier who matched the description and who had been looking for dog food and a leash. The employee took to social media to reach out to Cali’s owner, who in turn contacted the Osoyoos RCMP. Two Osoyoos Mounties located the stolen pooch in a popular transient camping area.

Opinion now OUR VIEW
The SOFI document info should stay the way it is
No one likes to talk about their pay.We get that. But it seems extreme to stop publishing names of city and school district workers making more than $75,000 a year in the annual statement of financial information (SOFI). It’s true that when SOFI was introduced to provide the public with more transparency on government spending, $75,000 was considered an executive wage. Now, it’s a comfortable salary, but not exorbitantly so. It could be argued
the threshold for publishing names should be raised to $100,000, given that average annual salary for Canadian employees is about $51,000. City staff in the City of Burnaby wanted that threshold raised, but council voted it down. Eliminating names altogether would remove an important indicator of decision-making at the highest echelons of civic office. Each year, media outlets publish the names and salaries of the top earners in city halls and school board
offices, providing taxpayers with a glimpse of compensation and whether citizens are getting good value. For example, taxpayers learned last year that in School District 43 in Coquitlam, the highest wage earner was a former secretary treasurer who hadn’t been at the board office in two years. If his name hadn’t been posted along with the information, it would have been missed and the public wouldn’t have known the cost of his severance.
Such information would not be available if New Westminster council is successful in getting support from B.C. councillors for a resolution asking the province to replace names with positions.They argue the information puts people at risk for public ridicule and bullying in this age of social media, although they didn’t provide examples of that actually happening. We argue the names as well as the positions should be cited in the document for transparency. It’s more
important than ever for taxpayers to see what they’re shelling out for, and for whom. At a time when false claims can spread like weeds on social media and the practice of journalism is in jeopardy, it’s important to recognize information needs to be transparent and open disclosure of publicly funded salaries, with names, is reasonable. Too often, important information is under wraps, requiring costly Freedom of Information requests, and other efforts to glean details
that shed light on important issues.The SOFI report is one of the last open documents that provide journalists and taxpayers with important information. It includes statements about severance agreements, council remuneration and expenses, suppliers of goods and services of over $25,000, and audited financial statements, all important details. Removing the names would just be one more step on the slippery slope towards secrecy.
MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL
Sidewalk fix coming, but it won’t be quick I recently took a walk along Marine Drive in South Burnaby. It was pretty scary. And uncomfortable. I walked this stretch because I’ve received a lot of messages from NOW readers in the past year about the lack of sidewalks along this stretch of road. The NOW wrote about this situation last September, interviewing several pedestrians/ Raksh Kapoor is a resident on Marine Drive close to Joffre and he has to navigate the stretch to Patterson every day to get to school and work, sometimes in the dark when he comes home. “There’s no place to walk, to be honest,” Kapoor told the NOW. “A sidewalk would be great.” “Inadequate – in one word,” said EdWilson about the walking paths on Marine Drive. Those were the comments of residents, but I wanted to see for myself. And yeah, it was pretty grim. It’s ridiculous how bad some of these sections are for pedestrians. There is some pretty rough terrain, especially if you are a person with mobility issues. It’s an embarrassing situation.The good news, however, is that the City of Burnaby has a plan to fix this. It just won’t be easy. Or quick. According to the city, this is a “very complex” project, with about 3.7 kilometres of work needed from Southridge to Boundary Road. “It’s an area with steep grades on both sides of Marine Drive – hills to the north side along Sussex
and Gilley, for instance, can give you a sense of the terrain,” said a statement from the city. The city says this work is far different from sidewalks that have recently been added on Rumble Street, which is mainly flat. The city is calling the Marine project adding an “urban trail” on the north side of Marine and a new sidewalk on the south side, meaning “there will be the need for retaining walls in many areas and re-grading of driveways. “It’s also a major eastwest traffic connector, so we’re looking at phasing the project in a way that minimizes traffic impacts.” This will be a “high-impact project,” says the city and so extensive public consultations are planned. A request for proposal is being issued soon for the design of the project, with 2019 and 2020 being used for the design work and other preparatory work such as moving underground utilities, survey work for retaining walls and the planning of related traffic improvements. Construction on the actual work is slated for 2021, says the city. “The current estimate for the project is seven years and may be subject to change as the city works through the design stage to seek opportunities to expedite the project,” said the statement. So, yeah, it’s going to take a while, but as they say, good things come to those who wait. Follow Chris Campbell on Twitter @shinebox44.

SFU computer geeks get building After being scattered over six locations across campus, SFU’s school of computing science was on its way to getting a new home to share with the school of engineering science – two of the university’s fastest growing programs. Premier BillVander Zalm was on hand at a groundbreaking ceremony for the new $17.3-million applied sciences centre. Slated for completion in two years, the building was expected to reduce crowded conditions at the campus, which, at the time, had 15 per cent less space than recommended by the Universities Council of B.C.

Synchronize Hastings lights a little better Editor: Re: A dumb driver. A near-miss. This Burnaby street attracts bad decisions, NOW May 5 I would note that some of the wait times for traffic trying to cross Hastings Street are obscene. I often have enough time to wait, think I haven’t tripped the light, get out of my car and leisurely stroll over to (unproductively) press the pedestrian-crossing button, then saunter back to my car for another long wait. I think there is a solution – synchronize the lights along Hastings. I have lived in cities where lights are synchronized, generally, so cars can roll down the busy street at 5-10-km/hr under the speed limit without stopping. You’d be amazed how de-stressing that is and how effective it is at preventing the traffic from idling. And while we are at it, let’s also synchronize the lights along Lougheed Highway and Kingsway. Sally Gillies, Burnaby
Good Samaritans came to my aid
Editor: I was walking home from Brentwood along the south side of Lougheed Highway towards Holdom just after 5 p.m., when I lost my balance on the uneven sidewalk and fell, tripping over one of the concrete barriers. I hit the back of my head, probably and received quite a gash, which bled profusely. Though confused, I tried to get up. But less than a few minutes later, two young men stopped their truck
and came over to help me get up. One gave me a stack of paper to stop the bleeding, while the other called 911. My shock was great when I noticed how much blood there was. But then another car stopped and a lady jumped out, came up to me and said, “This is my job.” Then she just compressed my wound for the next 10 minutes or so until the bleeding stopped. By then, another lady from the worksite nearby had also come with her first aid kit. I received four stitches to the back of my scalp. I was just a bit dismayed because I had had my haircut only the day before. But joking aside, I was really impressed – by the way Canadians help their fellow human beings in need. It was rush hour and the two guys were probably heading home. Yet they stopped and stayed on until they saw that I was in good hands. I had to urge them to go. The first aid women were tremendous, especially Janice. She had probably just finished her shift in a nearby building site, and instead of rushing on home, she stopped her car and worked to compress my wound. Without her help, I would have probably bled much more and got more complications, since I am diabetic. My thanks are due to one and all who dropped whatever they were doing to help someone who fell on the road, and stayed on to make sure that this someone in need was passed onto good hands. Good Samaritans, all. And I am writing not just to thank them, but to tell Canadians that they are living in a hell of a friendly country, where neighbours behave like neighbours. Makes you want to sing “O Canada” right now. Ray Hon Lau, Burnaby

CRIME
Police looking for leads in Burnaby cold-case killing Victim was an employee of the City ofVancouver Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Police are looking for leads in the 2015 killing of a Burnaby man who worked for the City of Vancouver. Hanif Jessa, a superintendent of street cleaning in Vancouver, was shot in his car outside his home in the 7900 block of Wickham Place in broad daylight on July 15, 2015. The 53-year-old was rushed to hospital but died a short time later. Jessa was not known to police, nor was he known to have any criminal associations, according to police. Burnaby RCMP, however, reported the shooting was not believed to be random, and the killing sparked a heavy response by the City of Vancouver and its police department. One of the city’s works yards was closed, and the VPD sent officers to other city buildings, including

Citynow Housing project delayed Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
People preparing to move into Burnaby’s first modular housing project will have to wait a little longer. The 52-unit building, originally scheduled to open in March, likely won’t see residents moving in until mid-August or later. The project was first delayed by the city’s permitting process and the need to clear the city-owned lot, according to B.C. Housing. In March, the agency predicted a mid-June move-in date,
but that timeline has been pushed back. The units have already been built in Kamloops and are ready to be shipped and installed, B.C. Housing’s Rajvir Rao said. “However, some issues with the excavation process and connection to services have taken longer than expected and have resulted in a roughly six-week delay,” she said. “Modular units are now expected to arrive on site by mid-June, and construction completion is estimated by early August.” The province first an-
nounced the Norland project in May 2018 as part of its Rapid Response to Homelessness program. The NDP government has pledged $7.6 million to build the homes at 3986 Norland Ave. Burnaby-based Progressive Housing Society will manage the site. The small studio apartments will include bathrooms, kitchens and beds. Residents will have access to a full suite of services, including laundry, life-skills training, health care and meal programs.

Homeowners told to switch waste apps If you use an app for reminders about your wastedisposal issues, the City of Burnaby says you need to make a change. According to a post on the city’s website, residents using the My Waste app should download the app Recycle Coach before June 14 to “ensure they continue to receive pickup reminders for curbside garbage, recycling and green bin col-
lection.” “Due to changes to Apple’s App Store Guidelines, the My Waste app is being phased out. Recycle Coach is from the same company (Municipal Media Inc.). Apple’s new guidelines prevent a company from having multiple apps in the app store with the same functionality.This change affects tens of thousands of apps. By downloading Re-
cycle Coach, residents will continue to receive the exact same information.The Recycle Coach app is available for iOS or Android.” My Waste app users started to receive daily notifications on May 6, asking them to download the Recycle Coach app. After doing so, they should delete the My Waste app.

Task force lists 10 affordability ‘quick starts’
Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
There are 10 things the City of Burnaby can start doing now to improve housing affordability, according to the Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing. The “quick starts” are part of the task force’s interim report, which will come to council on Monday. The task force is halfway through its six-month mandate to find solutions to Burnaby’s housing woes. The special committee is comprised of local politicians, activists, developers, non-profit housing providers and local residents. A final report is expected to provide more long-term strategies for addressing housing issues. The task force will now conduct a survey, asking residents their opinions on the 10 quick starts, which is expected to be completed by May 22. Lee-Ann Garnett, Burnaby’s director of long-range planning, said task force members were “challenged to look at everything and they were challenged to be bold and innovative.” These are the 10 “quick starts”: CREATE A MODULAR HOUSING STRATEGY Burnaby already has a modular housing project under development.The 52-unit supportive housing complex on a cityowned Norland Avenue lot has been delayed but is expected to be completed this summer. The task force is urging the city to pursue more partnerships with B.C. Housing’s Rapid Response to Homelessness Program. According to Garnett, the
message from the task force on modular housing is, “We like it.We want more of it.” The city is already pursuing more modular housing projects, but the first “quick start” is meant to put more urgency behind the effort, Garnett said. “It’s kind of acknowledging that this is a good strategy and to sort of keep your foot on the gas pedal,” she said. REGULATE SHORT-TERM RENTAL HOUSING The task force wants the city to crack down on shortterm rental services such as AirBnB. Short-term rentals can take much-needed housing out of the longterm rental market, the task force says. The city should follow in Vancouver’s footsteps by regulating short-term rentals using its business-licensing powers. If council agrees to move forward on this recommendation, city staff will study the approach taken in Vancouver and elsewhere to identify best practices before recommending new bylaws, Garnett said. ADOPT A ROBUST TENANT RELOCATION STRATEGY Unlike other so-called “quick starts” in the report, this item is meant more of a signal to the public that the task force is working on recommendations for a “robust tenant relocation strategy” that will be included in the final report. Mayor Mike Hurley has ordered a de facto moratorium on redevelopment proposals in the city while this policy is in development. ESTABLISH A RENT BANK Burnaby should follow New Westminster and Vancouver in establishing a rent bank, the task force says.
DEMOLISHED: The remnants of a rental building in Metrotown. PHOTO NOW FILES Rent banks provide lowor no-cost loans to tenants temporarily short of the cash needed to cover their rent or utility bills.The task force said Burnaby should fund the rent bank with its Community Benefit Housing Fund. ALLOW EXTRA DENSITY IN PROJECTS WITH BELOWMARKET RENTALS This recommendation encourages council to allow developers more density in projects if they include “below-market rental housing.” To do this, the task force recommends layering zoning on a single site to ensure the additional density is used for below-market rentals.This could mean adding a rental building to the site of a market condo or rental project or even separate zoning for certain floors in a building. Burnaby would likely implement its rental-only zoning in such a situation, Garnett said. Last year, the city

was the first in the province to put rental zoning on its books but has yet to implement it. PURSUE ‘STRATEGIC’ PARTNERSHIPS The task force wants Burnaby to seek out partnerships with other levels of government, nonprofits and private companies to create non-market housing.These various groups have a wide variety of assets to contribute to the creation of new housing, the report says. “Combining and leveraging these assets can lead to win-win solutions that result in more non-market rental units to meet Burnaby’s housing needs,” says the interim report. USE A ‘PORTFOLIO APPROACH’ TO TENDERING CITY LANDS In the past, the City of Burnaby has tendered city lands for lease to nonprofits on a one-by-one basis. The task force wants that to change.
If an organization (or partnership of organizations) can lease several separate lots at once, its ability to create and provide affordable housing could be greatly improved, the task force said. “A portfolio approach allows pooling of resources, cross subsidization and possible economies of scale,” the report says. The city already owns lots suitable for long-term lease and could buy more using its $123-million housing fund, the task force said. According to the task force,Vancouver has found success using the portfolio approach. STREAMLINE ZONING TO ALLOW ‘MISSING MIDDLE’ HOUSING The task force wants Burnaby to simplify its zoning and permitting requirements to make way for laneway homes, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes throughout the city.
Garnett said such a review isn’t exactly a “quick” process, but its inclusion among the “quick starts” means its a process city staff can get started on soon. She pointed out that staff are already reviewing some forms of “missing middle” housing, such as laneway homes. STUDY LAND VALUE CAPTURE PRACTICES If your property value increases as a direct result of public investment in infrastructure or rezoning for new density, you shouldn’t be the sole benefactor. That’s the premise behind a land value capture. The city already has a form of this in its town centres, where developers can pay the city to allow additional density in their projects.The study would focus on how to capture land value increases outside the town centres. The task force is calling on the city to study how it could benefit from such a policy and how to go about it.The task force report notes that Metro Vancouver and TransLink are also studying the issue. GATHER EMPTY HOMES DATA Burnaby needs to know how many of its homes are sitting empty, according to the task force.The report suggests the city could request data collected by the province in speculation tax declarations. “In order to know if action is required, the city first needs to know if it has an empty homes problem,” the report says. Recently released data showed that non-residents of Canada owned one in four condos built in Burnaby in 2016 and 2017.

Communitynow More money needed for settlement workers: schools Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Lower Mainland school officials were in Ottawa last month calling on the federal government to improve funding for settlement programs for new immigrants and refugees. Delta trusteeValWindsor, Vancouver trustee Jennifer Reddy and Burnaby school district assistant superintendent Heather Hart were in front of the federal Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration raising concerns about the SettlementWorkers in Schools (SWIS) program. “There were some issues that were brought to the forefront that trustees felt needed to be highlighted and we needed some answers to,” Hart told the NOW. ‘HIGHER NEEDS’ Since the federal government took over management of the program from the province in 2014, perperson funding for the program has dropped by 10 per cent, an inflexible funding
model has made it hard to meet emerging needs and some categories of newcomers have become ineligible, according to the school district. At the same time, the need in the Burnaby school district has grown, especially since the Liberal government’s accelerated Syrian refugee operation began in November 2015, Hart said. “We have a large number of refugees that settle in Burnaby, and it’s growing exponentially, and we have higher needs,” she said. “It’s not just a simple settlement pattern.These families have trauma; they’ve witnessed violence. Some of them have left their extended families behind; they have no jobs; they don’t know the language; they might have many children. And some child refugees may have never held a pencil in their hand, so school’s a very new thing to them. It takes a great number of services from SWIS workers to settle a family like that, yet our funding remains the same whether they’re coming in as a refugee or through an-
other status.” In 2015-16, 18 per cent of the program’s 2,066 clients were refugees compared to 69 per cent skilled workers, according to Hart. By January this year, 40 per cent were refugees and 45 per cent were skilled workers. The federal government, meanwhile, has cut base funding in the current 20172020 contract by about 10 per cent, Hart said. To get extra money, she said school districts now have to go through a timeconsuming, 14-step amendment process that makes it hard to respond to changing needs. The district is also still trying to meet the needs of some newcomers, like refugee claimants, who stopped being eligible for the program when the feds took over. ‘PROFOUNDLY DISCONCERTING” Concerns about SWIS were raised last fall at the English Language Learner Consortium, an ad hoc committee of the B.C.
School Trustees Association made up of trustees and staff, including Hart and Burnaby trustee Jen Mezei. “We’re concerned about the number of families who need settlement services but are ineligible for funding,” Mezei said in a statement to the NOW. “This lack in funding and the unpredictability of the federal funding we do get has impacted our ability to support these vulnerable newcomers to Canada.” The ELL ConJen Mezei sortium invited MLAs and MPs to trustee hear its concerns in January. NewWestminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian was there. He has pledged to write a letter to Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen – himself a former refugee from Somalia – calling for increased funding, a change in the funding model and an end to restrictions on who qualifies for SWIS help. Julian said the Liberal government is not giv-

ing new Canadians the help they need. “It’s a little surprising given all of the photo opportunities Mr.Trudeau took around the Syrian refugees particularly,” he said. “It is welcome that he increased the number of refugees, but it is profoundly disconcerting that he never increased any of the funding. What he’s been doing is downloading the costs of the additional number of refugees onto communities.We welcome the refugees in Burnaby.We’re a very welcoming community, so is NewWestminster, but there needs to be resources that are applied.” Julian said the needed increase in SWIS funding would be a “drop in the bucket” compared to the $4.5 billion the Trudeau government spent on the Trans Mountain pipeline. “This is a fundamental issue, and a tiny amount of that overall spending can make a huge difference in
these kids’ lives and in their families’ lives,” Julian said. MINISTER UNAVAILABLE Hussen did not make himself available for an interview with the NOW, but an email from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said Burnaby’s SWIS funding has increased year to year since the federal government took over the program in 2014. When asked whether this was true for per-person funding, media relations officer Shannon Ker said funding was based on contribution agreements, not on per-person funding. As for the funding model, Ker said the department has “made significant advancements,” including multi-year allocations to “ensure better forward planning which will significantly reduce the administrative and reporting burden for service providing organizations.” When funding has to be adjusted, formal department approval is required, she said, “in order to ensure that publicly funded programs are managed responsibly.”

How do gangs recruit teenagers into crime?
CORRECTION In a story about a jail-and-bail cancer fundraiser by Burnaby RCMP in the May 9, 2019 edition of the NOW, participant Andy Bates was incorrectly described as the manager of the Metrotown McDonald’s. He is, in fact, the owner of 12 McDonald’s restaurants, including the one at the Metrotown mall.
Parent session will offer information about B.C.’s gang landscape and what to watch out for Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Parents who want to learn about B.C.’s gang landscape, how gangs recruit members and what attracts kids to the gang lifestyle are invited to an information session in Burnaby next week. Safety experts will be at Burnaby Central Secondary (6011 Deer Lake Pkwy.) on Thursday (May 16) at 6:30 p.m. as part of a new provincial school-based gangprevention program. The free two-hour session will be led by Safer Schools Together (a company contracted by the province to deliver such sessions) and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit in partnership with the school district and Burnaby
RCMP. Participants will hear from Keiron McConnell, a Safer Schools Together expert on gang prevention, intervention and suppression, and from former gang member Jordan Buna. The presentation is part of a bigger $1.12 million school-based gang prevention initiative announced by the province in March and connected to the province’s ERASE (Expect Respect and a Safe Education) strategy. After being identified by police and safety experts, Burnaby is one of 12 priority communities getting training and “intensive supports” for students, parents, educators, police and local partners through the initiative. At Thursday’s session,
parents will also learn about warning signs and how to help someone who is being recruited or already involved with gangs. “Education is a powerful tool that can help parents be able to identify early warning signs that their children are getting on the pathway to gang activity,” Safer Schools Together president Theresa Campbell said in a press release. “These sessions will provide parents with practical and beneficial training that will support them to know what to do if faced with this circumstance that’s unfortunately affecting too many youth and their families in B.C. today.” No registration is required for the event.

City now Mother’s Day ban has taken political correctness too far Mommy’s
GROUNDED Bianca Bujan
Accepting the “Hallmark holiday” that is Mother’s Day took some time. At first, I didn’t like the money-grab aspect of splurging on overpriced flowers or the forced sentiment of celebrating a mother’s love only once a year. But the day grew on me. The looks on the faces of my children as they presented their handcrafted gifts to me on Mother’s Day turned my bitterness sweet. I became a sentimental suck. From a butterfly made of handprints to a painted flower pot to a handmade necklace, I’ve kept those keepsakes from my kids and now look forward to the surprise gifts. In 2017, a school letter went viral after it was shared on Facebook, explaining that the students of an ele-
mentary school in Mission would no longer be crafting cards and gifts for Mother’s Day.The school was opting out in order to support those children who may not have a mother to celebrate. Since then, many schools have joined in on the ban. This year, our children’s school decided to do the same. While I’m sure they’ve made the change with good intentions, it has me wondering if we’re taking political correctness too far. Is eliminating everything really the best way to create a more inclusive society? Our school’s sports days were previously scrapped, replaced with non-sport “fun days.”The school felt it wasn’t fair for those lessathletic students to compete in an environment that rewarded those more athletically inclined.The “everyone’s a winner” mentality spread to extracurricular sports teams, awarding medals to every team play-
er and eliminating posted scores. Now, Mother’s Day crafts are no longer and for a similar reason – cancelling anything that could potentially make some children upset. Not every child is an athlete, but why can’t we celebrate those who are? Families come in all shapes and sizes (as a child of a blended family, I know this to be
Let’s talk to our children about the realities of life
true), so why can’t we celebrate our differences instead of cancelling all celebrations and disguising it as inclusion? Conversations should be had, not cancellations made. Banning the act of celebrating moms and dads through giving crafty gifts and clever quotes is hardly
the way to celebrate family diversity. Instead, we should change the conversation and make the day about those who care for us in a broader sense. Why not use this holiday as an excuse to highlight families of varying compositions instead of cancelling the celebrations altogether? Wouldn’t calling it “Caregiver’s Day” be an easier way to make the holiday more inclusive? Couldn’t the teachers change the language that they use if the topic is sensitive for one of their students? In life, there will be wins and losses.There will be celebrations and sadness. Let’s talk to our children about the realities of life and how to deal with those varied emotions, not toss everything aside that could potentially make them cry.

City now Campaign discourages dumping The joy of spring cleaning quickly turns to discouragement as the size of the junk pile grows. As practitioners of the Marie Kondo method of tidying up know, unwanted items can weigh you down. But getting rid of them isn’t easy either. Thrift stores will take clothes and smaller household items, some charities such as Big Brothers will collect items, too. But things such as plastic containers, paint cans, old mattresses, and ruined couches need more thought and effort. However, thanks to Metro Vancouver, which is promoting its Waste in Its Place campaign this spring, there is help out there. A Put Waste in its Place website, at wasteinitsplace. ca, provides locations for disposing items safely and legally. Everything from household items to construction material is listed in the handy-to-use website, providing a number of no-cost or low-cost ways to get rid
of unwanted items. “We are all taught from a young age not to litter,” said Jack Froese, chair of Metro Vancouver’s Zero Waste Committee in a press release. “We know it’s wrong, and with so many cost-effective – even free – ways to properly dispose of waste, it’s perplexing that some people still choose to dump their unwanted items on the side of the road, in our parks and alleyways.” What Metro Vancouver is trying to do with its Put Waste in Its Place campaign is to instill in people a feeling of responsibility for unwanted items instead of simply discarding them in the nearest back alley or green belt. Dumped waste is a growing problem, and city taxpayers are left paying for the cost of the cleanup, according to the regional authority. In 2018, for example, Metro Vancouver municipalities recorded more than 40,000 incidents of abandoned waste. Mattresses, furniture, appliances, electronics and

green waste are among the most commonly dumped items and the majority of incidents were attributed to home renovations, students and move-outs. “There is simply no need to abandon waste,” Froese noted. “In addition to free municipal collection services, many delivery companies will take away old mattresses or appliances for a small fee, which is much cheaper than receiving a fine for ille-
gally dumping.” What’s more, dumped waste costs local municipalities more than $5 million in clean-up costs. Taking responsibility for one’s waste means finding out the best option for disposal and taking it there or hiring a service to deal with the unwanted item.

City now Dine the Line and try Dageraad collaboration out these Burnaby spots earns bronze medal
It’ll come as no surprise to most Burnaby residents that the city is full of fantastic dining options, but now a new campaign by TransLink is hoping to draw even more people to some of the city’s hottest food destinations. TransLink has teamed up with WestCoastFood, an initiative led by tourism groups in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, including Tourism Burnaby, aimed at promoting the region as a culinary hub, for Dine the Line. Dine the Line showcases a number of foodie destinations across the region and encourages “tourists and diners to take transit while enjoying a day out,” according to a press release. There are three different self-guided tours to choose from, one for each SkyTrain line. Take the Breweries and Bites tour from Coquitlam to Vancouver via the Millennium line and stop

After a flight or two, get back on the train and pop over to Astro’s Kitchen (2830 Douglas Rd.) for a bite to eat (Astro’s is a breakfast and lunch joint and is only open Monday to Friday). Choose the World Cuisine tour from Vancouver
to Surrey via the Expo Line and stop by Café La Forêt (6848 Jubilee Ave.), Hanwoori Korean Restaurant (5740 Imperial St.) or Anatolia’s Gate (7084 Kingsway) for a bite or two.

Burnaby’s own Dageraad Brewing didn’t walk away from the 2019 Canadian Brewing Awards empty-handed. Dageraad Brewing took home bronze in the American Belgo-Style ale for Sextuple, a beer the Burnaby brewery made in collaboration with Sooke Brewing Co.The win was announced during the annual awards and conference held in Toronto May 2 to 4. Last year, Dageraad Brewing won Brewery of theYear along with three golds for Entropy Series No. 6 (Belgian-Style Brett beer), Antwerpen (Belgian-Style Tripel), and Burnabarian (Belgian-style Abbey Ale/ Pale Ale). This year, Clifford Brew-
ing Company, a brewery out of Hamilton, Ont., won Brewery of theYear. The Canadian Brewing Awards is an annual competition open to breweries across Canada and celebrates Canadian-made beer. BURNABY BUILDER SCORES AT ANNUAL OVATION AWARDS A Burnaby builder has won a coveted Ovation award. Hara Homes Ltd took home the top prize in the Best Single-Family Detached Home (less than 2,400 square feet) category. The Burnaby company won for its Union project, beating out Miracon Development Inc. The 10th annual Ovation Awards were held at the JW Marriott Parq in Vancouver on Saturday.They are organized each year by the Homebuilders Associa-
tion Vancouver. Entries are judged by a panel of builders, renovators and designers from outside the Metro Vancouver area. “Homeowners should look for the Ovation Awards symbol when sourcing builders and renovators. It’s a recognized symbol within the residential industry, and one they can trust,” association CEO Ron Rapp said in a press release. Two other Burnaby-based companies were also up for an Ovation award, including Gracent Homes, nominated for Best Custom Home ($1 million to $2 million) for their Westridge Modern project, and TQ Construction, nominated for Custom Home Builder of the Year for its project: Burnaby Mountain Inspiration.

SUMMER CAMPS & ACTIVITIES Get prepared for summer camp season Many people put off summer camp planning until it is too late. Parents should keep in mind that camps begin registration early in the year and have specific cut-off dates for enrollment. Parents who want to beat the crowds this year can use this guide to help plan a summer camp agenda. • Attend an orientation seminar. Take the time to visit prospective camps for a tour, and use this open house as an opportunity to learn more about the programs offered. • Establish payment schedules. Summer camps vary in price. The ACA says camp costs range from $100 to more than $1,500 per week.
• Prepare children for the physical challenges a camp may present. Summer camp activities may be rigorous, and campers may need to be cleared by a physician before starting. • Shop for supplies. Camps are likely to provide a list of requirements with regard to clothing and other equipment campers will need. • Keep children in the loop. Engage children in the planning process to help alleviate their fears and get them excited about summer camp. Summer camp can foster lifelong memories. Parents can help kids prepare in advance for the fun that’s soon to arrive.

INDIGENOUS CONVERSATION “How many people know that the art and culture of
Indigenous peoples in Canada and in British Columbia are the second most plundered and valuable art objects confiscated and collected by world-class museums, second only to the Egyptian culture?” That sobering question is a point of discussion in an upcoming session at Deer Lake Gallery.The session, part of the gallery’s Indigenous Culture Conversation series, will be led by Kwelexwecten (Brandon Gabriel). The second in the threepart series will look at the Anti-Potlatching Law that was part of the federal Indian Act from 1884 to 1951, and the legacy of that law today. It’s on Saturday, May 25 from 2 to 4 p.m. The third talk in the series, coming up on Saturday, June 22, is titled Indigenous Artistic Resurgence in B.C. and Beyond. Admission is free, but reserve a seat through www. eventbrite.ca (you can find a direct link at www.tinyurl. com/AntiPotlatchingLaw
Talk). ART AT THE LIBRARY Art lovers have a little more time to check out the Burnaby Art Gallery’s two off-site exhibitions at public library branches.

Speed cams coming to Burnaby Here’s some bad news for reckless wannabe Dom Terretos in Burnaby. The B.C. government has “tweaked” three intersection cameras in Burnaby, meaning that if you go all Fast and the Furious it will lead to an automated speeding ticket. “Government has completed its analysis of speed and crash data for the 140 Intersection Safety Camera (ISC) program sites currently equipped with redlight cameras,” said a news release. “It has identified 35 with the greatest potential for further safety gains through automated speed enforcement. Beginning this summer, B.C. will install new warning signs and activate technology to ticket the registered owners of vehicles entering these intersections well over the posted limit on a red, yellow or green light.” The three Burnaby intersections are: !

to crashes and dangerous speeds that are best suited to safely catching, ticketing and changing the behaviours of those who cause carnage on B.C. roads.” Between 2012 and 2016, ISC sites in B.C. reported an average of 10,500 vehicles a year going at least

Burnaby unable to upend Adanacs
Spotted a two-goal lead, the Lakers couldn’t stop the defending Minto Cup champions Dan Olson

They get full marks for effort, but would love to add a few more points to their total. The Burnaby Lakers didn’t get the win but they did put up a good fight in Monday’s 7-2 loss to the undefeated Coquitlam Adanacs. The Adanacs, who are the reigning B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League and Minto Cup champions, surrendered the first two goals of the game, but didn’t flinch down the stretch. While Dylan Kaminski and Butch LaRoue put Burnaby ahead early in the first period – with Kaminski’s first of the season, coming just 47 seconds into his first game of the season – they were silenced the rest of the night. Meanwhile, Coquitlam took control with seven unanswered goals, beginning with Dennon Armstrong’s pair and Thomas Semple’s powerplay marker at 8:21 of the frame.
Play
They ran the table the rest of the way to stake out a 4-0 start to the 2019 season. The Lakers did have their chances, however, as Adanacs netminder Cam McLeod kicked out 32 shots and backstopped his team’s fourth win of the season. At the other end, Matteo Tack turned aside 38 shots. It dropped Burnaby’s record to 1-4 on the early season. It was the team’s second straight loss, coming on the heels of a 13-6 setback to Port Coquitlam last week. In that contest, the Lakers trailed the whole night except for a brief respite in the first period, when Joseph Callard tied the game 1-1. After that, it was all PoCo. Although Burnaby clawed to within a goal at 4-3, the Saints netted nine of the next 11 goals to put a fork in it. Marcus Klarich counted two goals and three assists, giving him a team-leading seven tallies, while Thomas Vela chipped in a pair

of markers. Rookie Sam LaRoue rounded out the offence. For PoCo, junior B call-up Evan Wray scored twice and set up five others to lead the Saints. The team’s lone victory came nearly two weeks ago, when they bumped off archrival New Westminster 6-5 in a tightly played battle. In a game where the goalies were on the hotseat nearly all night, it was a late rally and a strong extraman attack that proved to be the difference. Kieran McKay recorded a pair of powerplay markers, in a span of 1:41, to lift the Lakers to the first victory of the season. The third-year B.C. junior veteran netted the tying goal with 6:43 remaining, and delivered the winner with 5:02 on the clock, on a set-up from Klarich. It was McKay’s third goal of the game. Prior to that, Erik Maas had restored the lead for New West with his second of the night with 12:32

to play. Tack kicked out 36 shots to collect the win, while New West’s netminder Brayden Bell faced 37 shots. The two teams traded goals most of the game, although after Klarich opened the scoring midway through the first period with a powerplay tally, the ‘Bellies replied by taking a 3-1 advantage on efforts from Will Malcom and Cam Garlin, with two. New West’s Maas and Garlin finished with four-point nights, while Burnaby also got goals from Sam LaRoue and Kurtis Shum. Liam Birch registered a pair of assists. The Lakers continue their hunt for a second win.They pay a visit to the second-place Langley Thunder tonight (Thursday), before heading to Victoria for a Saturday match. Burnaby hosts undefeated Nanaimo on Sunday, 4 p.m. at Bill Copeland.
It came down to a photo finish in the 1500-metre finals at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference outdoor track and field championships last Saturday, with the Simon Fraser University team having two in the picture. Carlos Vargas captured his first outdoor conference championship title, as the junior completed the 1500m race in a time of 3:54.18, just ahead of teammate Rowan Doherty (3:54.96). Placing fifth was sophomore Aaron Ahl came in fifth. It was just part of a stellar weekend for the Canadian crew, which saw the men place sixth overall and the women fourth in aggregate team standings. Vargas, of Brossard, Que., was the first of two SFU athletes to earn an individual title on the second and final day of the conference meet in Monmouth, Ore. Racing in the men’s 5000m final, Sean Miller topped the event in 14:46.49 for his first GNAC title, just a year after placing third in the same event. Vargas and Miller joined senior Julia Howley – who won the women’s 3000m steeplechase on Friday – as the only three SFU runners to win individual races. Burnaby’s Nathan Mah placed seventh in the 200m race. In the field events, Holly Taylor finished second in the women’s hammer throw, with a 49.87m toss for a personal collegiate record. Senior Lauren Fridman also posted a personal best in javelin with 44.60m, placing her fourth overall in the GNAC. Simon Fraser’s Sophie Dodd took second place in the 800m race with a 2:09.01 time, just ahead of teammates Alana Mussatto and Paige Nock, who finished third and fourth. In the men’s 200m hurdles, Josh Adhemar and Nate St. Romain had perhaps the most impressive photo finish of the entire meet, coming in second and third. Both set new career bests. SFU’s women’s 4x400m relay team of Bryce West, Dodd, Mussatto and Renate Bluschke recorded the second-best time, 3:46.19, to take silver, leading a strong relay contingent.

Sugawara takes helm at TWU
Pair to tee off at NCAA
Burnaby Lake star to lead Spartans new women’s Sevens team
Three-time women’s rugby World Cup star Julia Sugawara will take the reins of the Trinity Western women’s rugby sevens program, as she has been named the Spartans women’s rugby head coach. The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club premier women’s coach is looking to head up the new program, as TWU looks to launch its women’s rugby this fall. Sugawara, who starred for Canada in the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2006, 2010 and 2014, brings a strong pedigree as both a player and a coach. A TWU alumnus, Sugawara played for Canada for 10 years, from 2004 to 2014, earning 46 caps. Along the way, she played her club rugby with both the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, from 2001 to 2015, and with Saracens Women in London, England, from 2008 to 2009. She has been an assistant coach with Burnaby’s premier team since 2016. Sugawara also has age-grade coaching experience at the provincial level, having been the head coach of B.C.’s under-16 girls Sevens side in 2016 and an assistant coach with the u17 girls team in 2018. “Aside from Julia’s extensive coaching and playing background,
she is an inspirational leader who will provide incredible leadership to our Spartans women’s program,” said TWU’s director of rugby Andy Evans. “She will set a solid foundation for the future of our program and all of the women who are involved in our program will have such a special person to learn from as they strive to become the best versions of themselves. She has incredible faith and character, and her work ethic is phenomenal.” Internationally, Sugawara’s World Cup experience included a bestever silver medal-winning performance for Canada in 2014. Individually, she made herself known on the world stage in 2006 in Edmonton, scoring Canada’s lone try in a World Cup match against rugby power New Zealand. “I feel fortunate to be a part of shaping the foundation of the women’s rugby program, especially as it focuses on refining more than just the athletic attributes of the players,” said Sugawara. “I’m looking forward to working alongside a group of student-athletes who are excited about developing themselves on and off the field. “The physical and mental chal-

lenges of collegiate rugby present an environment which reveals and shapes what athletes are capable of as individuals and as a team and I am excited to play a part in my players’ journeys.” Sugawara graduated from SFU in 2005 with a bachelor of arts in linguistics, and is currently finishing her teaching degree at the Burnaby Mountain campus.

Kylie Jack and Jaya Rampuri made Simon Fraser University history Wednesday, becoming the first individuals from the program to qualify for this week’s NCAA Div. 2 women’s golf championships. The pair secured two of the four individual berths from the West Regional following three strong rounds of play at the Amarillo Country Club in the Texas town. Jack shot a four-over-par 75 on the final day to finish with a three-round total of 221 (73, 73, 75).The senior from Kelowna made a tournamenthigh 41 pars over 54 holes and earned a share of eighth place on the leaderboard. Rampuri tallied her lowest score of the championships in the third round with a twoover-par 73.The junior shot 222 (74, 75, 73) over the three rounds, putting her in a tie for 11th overall. Sophomore Estee Leung also had her best showing on the final round.The Richmond native carded a 77 and 75 in the first two rounds and made another two-stroke improvement in round three with a 73. She finished her first west regional
in a tie for 15th with a 54-hole total of 225. Surrey’s Belinda Lin fired an 80 in her last round of collegiate golf for SFU.The senior had a 242 total over the tournament (85, 77, 80). Laura Jones of Moncton battled through the challenging course conditions to shoot a 257. The Clan improved upon a ninth-place team finish in 2017 to come sixth, but fell two spots shy of earning a berth to the championships.The team had impressive rounds of 309, 300, 301 (910) but was ultimately outplayed by the nationallyranked opponents in the field. Simon Fraser was just one of three schools that placed three golfers in the top 15. “I am very proud of the effort the team put together throughout the west regional,” remarked SFU golf coach Matthew Steinbach. “Although we came up just short of qualifying for nationals as a team, I’m thrilled that Kylie and Jaya will get an opportunity to compete as individuals against the best golfers in (Div. 2).” The first round of the championships in Palm Beach, Fla., began on Tuesday.

BRITISH COLUMBIA REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION:
Damp April for B.C. home sales, prices down 6.2% There has been only a meagre spring awakening when it comes to B.C. home sales this year, with April maintaining the trend for dampened activity. A total of 6,652 residential unit sales sold via the MLS in April, a drop of 18.9 per cent from the same month last year, according to British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) figures released May 14. However, that’s a month-over-month increase of 16 per cent from March’s slow sales, and in terms of the annual drop in transactions, an improvement over March’s 27 per cent annual decline. The month-over-month rise is typical of this time of year, said the BCREA. “B.C. home sales were essentially unchanged from March on a seasonally adjusted basis,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA’s chief economist. LISTINGS BUILD UP The number of homes for sale on the MLS across the province continues to build up. Active residential listings rose 33.6 per cent year over year to 38,672 units. The ratio of sales to active listings fell over the past year from 28.4 per cent (a seller’s market) to a balanced market of 17.2 per cent. This increased choice of homes, combined with the reduction in buyer purchasing power, has reduced the average price of a B.C. home sold on the MLS in April by 6.2 per cent year over to $685,304.
However, this is slightly higher than the average price of a B.C. home sold year to date, down seven per cent year over year to $680,671. While all the boards across the province reported a decline in their sales-to-listings ratios, some are still in seller’s market territory – including Victoria, Vancouver Island and Kamloops. Greater Vancouver is the closest to being a buyer’s market at 12.3 per cent. Only five of the 12 boards reporting to the BCREA cited an average annual price decline, with Kamloops, Vancouver Island and Prince George all seeing notable price increases. However, the significant declines seen in the larger markets of Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley pulled the provincial average down. BLAMING THE STRESS TEST The BCREA continued its assertion that the slowdown in sales has been caused by the federal mortgage stress test. The mortgage qualification rules introduced in January 2018 now require that all mortgage applicants qualify at a higher interest rate than they will be paying, which reduces purchasing power by up to 20 per cent. Muir said, “Prospective home buyers continue to grapple with the decline in their purchasing power caused by federal government changes to mortgage policy.” The association has repeatedly called for the federal government to scrap the mortgage stress test.

Pam Ralston summited her final adventure and passed away May 3, 2019 at the age of 70. Loved and treasured by her husband of 23 years, Don Newsham, sons Robin and Lee (Lily), step daughter Kelsey, (Sheldon), granddaughter Kayla (Kyle), great grandson Jackson, granddaughter Claudia, brother John (Paula), niece Meaghan (Graham), nephew Tim (Ashley), and the Clark and Ralston cousins, she was predeceased by her beloved mother Jean (Moanie) (1999) and father Bill (2001). Pam, diagnosed with cancer in November, died in comfort after a short stay at St Michael’s hospice, New Westminster. A kind, caring, smiling social worker, gardener, traveller and role model she had a profound impact on all. Colleagues benefited from her diligence, dedication and engaging manner. Friends knew and shared the joy and privilege of Pam’s “wise owl” life. An avid orienteer, hiker, skier and biker, doing Kilimanjaro and Mt Blanc treks, she was passionate about family get-togethers, making memories, volunteering, (2 year Indonesia venture), reading, lawn bowling, house parties, nature and the forest. Pam had a special presence, was a treasure and gift, and will always remain in the hearts and minds of family and friends. A memorial celebration service - Pam’s Day, will be held June 20, 2019, 2pm at Glenbrook Park Amenities Centre, New Westminster. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made to Pancreas Center BC or BC Cancer Foundation.
