Mayor asks Trudeau to cover $1.8M policing bill Mike Hurley talked protest policing costs, tank farm safety and housing red tape with the prime minister Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley got 40 minutes in person with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Saturday to plead the city’s case on a few issues. It might not seem like a long time, but it was enough for three items to be discussed – Hurley told the NOW in an interview.The meeting was brokered by Burnaby North-Seymour MP Terry Beech.

The City of Burnaby owes the federal government an estimated $1.8 million in policing costs related to protests in the city against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, Hurley said. Ex-mayor Derek Corrigan said publicly the city would not pay these policing costs. Hurley also doesn’t think Burnaby should pay these costs, especially because Trudeau has repeatedly said the project is in the “nation-

al interest” and the federal government bought the project. Hurley said it’s unfair for a city to be burdened with such a huge police tab for a project the city doesn’t even approve of. So Hurley made the city’s case about working out some sort of deal with the feds to cover some or all of the costs. “It’s an issue that’s hanging out there,” Hurley said. “But it’s a bill that has to be paid (by someone).”

This wasn’t the first time Hurley has met Trudeau, as the mayor had a previous face-to-face meeting while working with a firefighters’ union. A second issue broached by Hurley was about housing. He said the city has been frustrated in dealings with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to get projects off the ground. CMHC has “difficult” processes to wade through and a lot of “red tape” that Hurley says doesn’t feel ap-

propriate in regards to projects spearheaded by a city the size of Burnaby. “Sometimes their regulations seem a bit ridiculous,” Hurley said. Hurley says cities – compared with small groups – should be recognized for having skilled staff, meaning there should be a more streamlined process when a city, a province and the feds develop a project together. Hurley just wants to deliver projects “quicker” during the housing crisis.

A third issue Hurley discussed with Trudeau was tank farm safety. Hurley said the city doesn’t want the Trans Mountain pipeline, but if it eventually goes ahead, he wants more done to address tank farm safety to “lower the anxiety level” for residents who live near it. Trudeau “said all the right things,” Hurley said, but the proof for him will be seeing what action happens between now and the federal election in October.

Green bins in Burnaby offering up a ‘bear buffet’

Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

Beth Holbrook first got interested in bear management when she was confronted by a bear. The resident of the Forest Grove neighbourhood in North Burnaby was out walking her 80-pound dog when she found herself face to face with a bear. “The bear seemed unconcerned about me or my big dog,” Holbrook said. That was a bit of a jolt to Holbrook, the mother of a newborn. She wondered about the potential dangers to people who lived at Burnaby Mountain and about the dangers to the bears themselves. So she did some research. Then she got involved with her neighbours. Now, she is part of the Burnaby Wildlife Awareness Association that is trying to work with the City of Burnaby to develop enforceable bylaws to preserve the safety of people, pets and wildlife

by “requiring residents to responsibly manage their attractants.” “Wildlife are attracted to our neighbourhoods for a number of reasons – one of the major ones being garbage,” reads a presentation the association did for Burnaby city council in October 2018. The association listed these “sighting statistics” for Burnaby from 2014 to the 2018: ! 2,049 black bear ! 372 coyote ! 178 cougar ! 84 bobcat/lynx So, obviously, black bears dominate and the city is heading into prime bear season as they forage for food. The problem is that people make it easy for bears to find food so they keep coming into our neighbourhoods, she said. Holbrook says one of the biggest problems is Burnaby’s green bin program. She says the city means well in recycling food scraps, but there are a couple of issues

BEAR BUFFET: This photo of bears gorging on garbage was taken in Burnaby’s Forest Grove neighbourhood. she’d like to see change. For one thing, Holbrook says the green bins are only “bear-resistant” and not “bear-proof” containers – meaning bears are able to get them open. Holbrook says people

leave their green bins full of stinky food out the night before they are collected. “I’ve seen all these bins lined up in a row – it’s effectively a bear buffet,” she said. “Basically, we’re packaging it up for the bears and

they’re going to town.” In Holbrook’s complex, there is a large communal green bin that bears are able to break into. The association asked council last fall for a change to the current bylaw in re-

lation to garbage management.They want bear-proof cans – including in all public parks – plus better public education and enforcement of revised bylaws to ensure people are responsible with their food waste.

COURT

Shen hearing dates set as protests outside court continue Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Crown prosecutors will call 10 witnesses during a preliminary inquiry for Ibrahim Ali, the man accused of killing 13-year-old Marrisa Shen. Ali, 28, is accused of firstdegree murder in the death of the Burnaby teen, whose body was found in Central Park in July 2017. He appeared in B.C. Provincial Court briefly Tuesday morning and listened through an Arabic interpreter as lawyers set dates for his preliminary inquiry – a kind of mini trial to test whether there is enough evidence for him to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Ali’s lawyer,Troy Anderson, said there are still “a wealth” of issues around the Crown’s disclosure of evidence in the case. “They remain outstanding,” Anderson told the court, “but Mr. Ali is anxious to have this matter proceed.” Crown prosecutor Isobel Keeley said the Crown had provided “substantial disclosure” already but would discuss other items with Ali’s lawyers.

She said prosecutors anticipate calling 10 witnesses during a 12-day preliminary inquiry. “That’s based on a number of admissions that my friend has indicated that he’s prepared to make,” Keeley said. The inquiry is schedule to start on Nov. 25 and go till Dec. 13. Ali’s court appearance was delayed Tuesday because of a delay transporting him from the North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam and then because the Arabic translator could not be located. Ali was charged with Shen’s murder in September 2018 after an investigation that lasted more than a year. He had arrived in Canada with his family as a privately sponsored refugee from Syria about three months before Shen’s death, according to police. His court appearances have been accompanied by protests outside the courthouse voicing concerns about immigration. Protesters were back Tuesday morning with banners proclaiming “Comprehensive Security Screening Now!” and “Hold Trudeau Accountable.”

City now PIPELINE

Author documents Trans Mountain ﬁght in novel Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

Trainer and her friends live in Vancouver’s West End and play beach volleyball at Sunset Beach on summer nights. But with a pipeline in the works to ship Alberta oil to Asia, the friends see the project as a threat to their seaside lifestyle and the local ecology. Trainer and her friends are fictional – the main characters of Robyn Allan’s upcoming book When They Came for the Beach – but if the pipeline project sounds familiar, that’s no coincidence. “I make no bones about it in the book that it’s Kinder Morgan and the Trans Mountain expansion,” said Allan, who lives in Whistler but is from Vancouver. “It’s about what happens to this group of 20-somethings who discover their future is fundamentally going to be impacted.” Allan is a former senior economist for the B.C. Central Credit Union and has written extensively on Trans Mountain, which terminates in North Burnaby. But with the novel, she hopes to bring the issue to people who may not read the news frequently. “I discovered it doesn’t matter how many op-eds I wrote or how many research reports that I did.The issues weren’t percolating as they need to for the proper responses,” she said. “I felt the best way to attack the fiction that we’re being presented with [by proponents] was with fiction.” Backing her counterclaims against the “false narrative,” which Allan says plays up economic benefits and diminishes environmental risks, will be a bibliography with citations in the novel.

In particular, she notes for an oil spill. that the economics behind “What if the oil spills and the renewed approval of the our beach is ruined?

Opinion now OUR VIEW

If you love bears, you’ll lock up your trash

If you say you love bears, then you should stop doing things to get them killed. Because bears are, in fact, getting killed. A lot of them. And not in some far-off, distant part of B.C., but really close to home. According to an article in our sister paper, the TriCity News, three bruins have already been destroyed in the Tri-Cities – one in Coquitlam and two in Anmore – with four more having already been destroyed in Maple Ridge. And we’re barely even

into bear season. Bears are destroyed when they cause property damage and can’t be relocated. “They had hit that threshold and were a safety risk,” said Sgt.Todd Hunter of the BC Conservation Officer Service, adding bears are hungry after hibernation and are looking to fatten up. In Burnaby, one place that has a lot of bears looking to find food is on Burnaby Mountain – the NOW recently posted an article about two bears taking a stroll along the bushy side

of Gaglardi Way, oblivious of the vehicles driving by. There is a large community on top of the mountain and a lot of homes at the base. There are many other areas in which homes border natural areas that provide a home for bears. It’s up to all of these residents to ensure there isn’t a food temptation that will encourage bears to enter residential neighbourhoods. That means taking down bird feeders, locking up garbage and removing all fruits and pet food from the out-

doors. Hunter is quoted as being concerned people are posting bear concerns to Facebook rather than to the Report All Poachers and Polluters line (1-877-9527277). Not only will that not keep the bears safe, it could endanger the lives of humans. “If you hold onto it, the information may not get out there and somebody may get hurt.” He pointed to a 2016 attack against a 10-year-old girl on a trail next to the

Coquitlam River as an example of what can happen in a conflict situation.The family was returning from a swim, and a mother bear, whose cub was with her, attacked, leaving the girl with injuries that needed surgery. Hunter said, had they known the bear was in the area, COs could have closed the trails or put up signs, and the family might have gone somewhere else; as well, more enforcement might have kept the bear out of the area. On the other hand, shar-

ing is caring, Hunter said. “We totally encourage people telling their neighbours, make sure they watch their yards, make sure they are doing everything they can, (give them a) heads-up; that’s the neighbourly thing to do.” So it’s really quite simple. Do everything you can to not attract bears with your garbage. Be responsible and lock everything up.Take extra precautions. If you really love bears, you’ll do it.

MY VIEW MURRAY MARTIN

Renters have their futures frozen I want to point out a few common misconceptions around Burnaby’s new rental policies and demovictions. First, I have heard people say this policy was started by the previous mayor and council.The only part of this that was in play during the last council was a vague bylaw passed allowing rental-only zoning. It was largely a smokescreen when the panicked previous mayor and council started to feel the fury of people in Burnaby for accelerating demovictions after the passing of the Metrotown Downtown Plan in 2017.There is no connection between this and demovictions because the issues with demovictions are displacement and affordability. I don’t think it matters to renters if they are evicted to make way for luxury condos or luxury rentals. Secondly, rental-only zoning is a small part of Mayor Mike Hurley’s new policy.The issue of affordability is addressed here and in a much better way and definition of “affordability” than used by the previous mayor. An example of that is the NewVista “affordable” announcements several weeks back that were put in place by the previous council.The previous definition had rents for one bedroom at $1,336 and $2,132 for a two-bedroom suite.The new definition is still problematic, but it’s much better and means that new replacement onebedrooms will go for around $1,000 per month. So, while the previous mayor largely ignored displacement and

affordability for Burnaby renters, the new mayor is taking some steps to address affordability. So far, the issue of displacement is not being met, but it will hopefully be addressed soon. Since a freeze and a later moratorium was put in place on demovictions at city hall, ACORN has tracked three developers who have almost emptied out five apartments.This means that, in the midst of the worst housing crisis since the Great Depression, 300 livable rental units are sitting empty because some developers are speculating their rezoning applications just need a rubber stamp by Burnaby council. Many of the displaced tenants face 50-per-cent increases in rent that their buyouts will not cover for long.What Burnaby needs to address is a tenant relocation policy that rehouses them at the same cost (or less) in the same area. So, while some of the issues dealt with in Burnaby’s new approach to rental housing are good for the mid and short term, there is nothing yet that the over 10,000 renters in Metrotown can point to as improving their situation from a year ago.There are over 1,000 renters who are currently frozen in the demovictions process who need a real solution before the moratorium is lifted July 17. Murray Martin is the Burnaby ACORN spokesperson and a member of the Mayor’sTask Force on Community Housing.

City too pricey for police officers A federal decision to not pay Lower Mainland RCMP officers more than officers in the rest of B.C. was making it hard to fill a job with the Burnaby RCMP.The detachment posted the position of Edmonds district commander but none of the top 35 candidates in B.C. was interested. “Apparently there are a lot of people in the Interior or onVancouver Island who won’t come because it’s not economically feasible,” said Sgt. Don Brown. A year earlier, Lower Mainland detachments had called for a “recruiting and retention allowance” to keep officers in the region.

Opinion now INBOX

Opponents of the SFU gondola proposal are not NIMBYs Editor: The residents of Forest Grove went up against the gondola plan years ago with a previous TransLink board headed by an SFU professor and a member financially affiliated with the UniverCity corporation. Many of us argued our neighbourhood’s case and the plan was taken off the table due to opposition and a lack of funds. As far as most Forest Grove residents are concerned, the plan remains a non-starter. The last time we argued our case we were called NIMBYs or worse. We will no doubt be called that again, but it has always been easier to point fingers if one isn’t impacted by a poor decision. Would anyone really want an invasive project like a gondola operating over their home … each day? Probably not. How about a major pipeline expansion? Well, we’re probably getting that as well. Lucky us. Interestingly, the 145 bus up the mountain isn’t on TransLink’s list of busiest routes and hasn’t been for years, so the question remains where it makes the most sense to spend our tax dollars – to relieve the worst of the existing overburdened routes in the region, or drop a few hundred million on a gondola because it’s perceived to be a cool idea. Eric Mogensen, Burnaby

Know someone with

We need more buses going by my high school Editor: I’m a Grade 9 student from Moscrop Secondary and I would like to talk about the number of buses that come by our school daily. In my opinion, as a student from Moscrop, the buses from and to Moscrop are insufficient. Every day at Moscrop, students either have to run to the buses early or wait the unnecessarily long lineups. I’ve seen students run across the street on a red light to try to get on the 130 bus that goes to Metrotown station – and they were almost hit by cars. Some smart students found ways to skip the lines and get on from a different route, but this disrupts other people and students from their usual routes. After school, I need to take the 130 bus to go home, so I’m also one of the students that either wait or run. Before I found a faster way to get home, I would always wait at the bus stop, and waiting for the buses would be a pain. The first 10 buses or so would be too full or the driver wouldn’t want to mess with teenagers stomping their way into the bus. After that, a few buses come and go every five minutes. Because of this, I would wait for the buses for 40-plus minutes and, yes, it does get very crowded and a lot of pushing occurs. In addition, it’s even worse during winter and fall. Since fewer students would want to walk in the harsh weather, so many more students take the bus. Cheska Retita, Burnaby

City now Open houses set up for city’s ﬁrst safety plan Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Do you have ideas about how to make Burnaby safer? The city wants to hear them. The City of Burnaby is working on developing its first-ever Community Safety Plan, a high-level strategic plan to help guide decisions about community safety ini-

tiatives for years to come. To get input from local residents, the city is hosting a series of public open houses this month and encouraging people to fill out a safety survey. “We want to hear your concerns, find out what’s working well for you, and get your ideas for making Burnaby an even safer city than it is today,” Mayor

Mike Hurley said in a press release. The Community Safety Plan will focus on crime prevention and reduction; emergency preparedness; emergency services (police, fire, ambulance, etc.); transportation safety; and community amenity safety. “This is a tremendous

opportunity to look at safety through a broad, city-wide lens,” public safety director Dave Critchley said in the release. “The goal is to build on our strengths and seek opportunities to become an even safer city.” A final copy of the plan will be presented to city

Communitynow UBC honours Burnaby educator for his impact Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

For Burnaby parent Hannah Kamara, John Nanson is more than Edmonds Community School’s community school coordinator – he’s family. Kamara, a mother of two and a refugee claimant, came to Burnaby in 2015 from Sierra Leone after some years in the U.S. She said the support she found at Edmonds was like nothing she’d ever experienced before – and Nanson has been a central part of that. “When I have a problem, instead of phoning my people in Africa, the first place I come is to my kids’ school,” she said. “Even if I have a headache, if I’m not able to call John, I will text John.” Kamara was one of several people at the school that nominated Nanson for a prestigious alumni award from UBC’s education faculty. The award recognizes “outstanding achievement by alumni who are making exceptional impacts in the lives of their students and learning communities,” according to the university’s website. Nanson is this year’s winner. After graduating from UBC education in 2002, Nanson hasn’t exactly followed a traditional career trajectory as a teacher. Instead of getting onto a teacher-on-call list in the city and waiting around for a shot at a full-time teaching job, he accepted his first position in Pukatawagan, Manitoba, a remote Cree First Nation community more than 700 kilometres north of Winnipeg. “I learned a lot, a lot of

trial and error and a lot of learning about community,” he said. During his three years there, he was instrumental in setting up an adult education program aimed at getting young parents and adults back into the school system. From Pukatawagan, Nanson came to Burnaby to work as a special education teacher, eventually becoming the learning support services department head at Burnaby Central Secondary for eight years before accepting a position at SFU as a faculty associate working with the university’s student teachers for three years. In that role he got a chance to see first-hand what community schools in Burnaby were all about. “I was drawn to Edmonds as a community, with all the diversity here and a really engaged staff,” Nanson said. “A lot of the staff are people who have specific interest in community schools and they’re invested in it.” When a community school coordinator position opened up at the school three years ago, he went for it. When asked what exactly a community school coordinator does, however, he laughs. “That is the hardest question,” he says. Generally, his job is to work on community development, community connections and life-long learning, but what that looks like is different for every community school in Burnaby, he says. At Edmonds, which is home to many new immigrants and refugees, it’s often about making connections to meet families’ basic

needs. Quoting Bal Dhillon, community school coordinator at Byrne Creek, Nanson says community schools have “porous walls,” meaning education and community happen both inside and outside of the school building. Toward that end, Nanson has been instrumental in opening Edmonds up on weekends to different groups educating kids and other members of their communities. Take the Eritrean CanadianYouth Engagement Society, for example.

Director Binega Markos has told the school he wants kids in his community to be “whole,” with a strong foundation in their own language and culture, Nanson says. Then there’s the Tibetan and Uighur youth engagement societies, the Egyptian Canadian Cultural Society, pow wow dancing instruction, a basketball team for youth at risk and more. “We’re just getting started,” Nanson says. While his work on such programs and partnerships is important, what really inspired people to nominate

Nanson for the UBC award was his personal touch, according to Edmonds principal Sean Gaster. “One of the main reasons John was nominated was just his personal connections and the amount of time and energy he puts into connecting with the parents and helping the parents meet their needs,” Gaster says. “All the programs and stuff are great, and he’s done a great job of that, but it’s those personal connections and the relationships.” UBC officials certainly heard that message loud and clear in Nanson nomi-

nation package. “The committee was especially touched by his ability to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for students and their families,” states a press release about the award. “The caliber of nominations was outstanding, and his demonstrated commitment to students and the larger community made his nomination package stand out from the rest.” Nanson was presented with his award during a ceremony at Edmonds Community School.

I know you are nervous, and at the same time excited and hopeful. After graduation, we will all go on to different journeys, goals, experiences.

BURNABY CENTRAL SECONDARY SCHOOL VALEDICTORIAN: ANGELICA LAUIGAN

As the graduating class of 2019, we are unique pieces of a complete puzzle. We tend to believe that we are merely ordinary, a single student in a sea of many. However, our experiences have sculpted each of us into an irreplaceable shape necessary to complete the picture. Our pieces have been bound together, rounded tabs reaching like outstretched hands to interlock together. Without each of us, the puzzle that is the class of 2019 would not be complete. Our experiences, trials and errors, big wins and hard loses have shaped us into the people we have become. We have enriched each other’s lives and have fostered each other’s growth. This reminds us of the value of community that is so often forgotten. As we move away from the halls of Burnaby Central, some pieces of our puzzle may not stay intact. We will cling together for as long as we can, but ultimately, we will drift back, individual pieces, loose in a bigger box. Our ridges will continue to change shape, bend and morph into a new puzzle. We will find new friendships that will withstand obstacles and last longer than any Snapchat streak. We will find never ending love and support from our families who have been there to guide us before any Instagram follower. Most importantly, we will discover that the influence and impact we’ve left in each other’s lives is the greatest accomplishment one can achieve.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2019 AND THEIR VALEDICTORIANS!

afraid to share my ideas with others. One of my favourite quotes to keep in mind is remind is: “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” by Eleanor Roosevelt. This quote had a huge impact on me in my journey to learn about who I am. I think it could also could apply to you. If you have been struggling to figure out who you are, that’s alright, it’s your journey. Trust me you’ll be fine and other people in college, university or wherever you go, will be there for you. Again congratulations to all!

BURNABY MOUNTAIN SECONDARY SCHOOL VALEDICTORIAN: SAMEER ESMAIL

I want to start off by taking a few minutes to reflect on our time at Burnaby Mountain which has left a unique mark on each of us. We each participated in our school’s diverse culture in our own way. Maybe you were part of one of our sports teams, our many theatre productions, or dance company, or maybe you were like me and joined student council. Whatever it is that you took part in while you were here, you helped shape the legacy of our graduating class, and of this would be possible without our teachers, counsellors, administrators, parents, family members, and friends who positively impacted our educational journey. Whether we move on to post-secondary or the workforce, there will be difficulty adjusting to a new lifestyle and being self-reliant. No one has written your destiny, so remember your destiny is yours to write and the dark path is yours to light. I want to you to remember how the success of this graduating class will be determined. Success will not mean money, fame, or glory. Rather our success will be defined by the way we best affect the lives of those around us. Because people will not remember what you did but how you made them feel. You will be successful if you leave each person who enters your life happier and more empowered than when they came into it. And that is the most important legacy that you can leave in your lifetime.

YOUR VALEDICTORIANS BURNABY NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL

BURNABY SOUTH SECONDARY SCHOOL

VALEDICTORIAN: ERIC LIU

I want to help everyone relive our time at North by comparing it to a common challenge we all faced – the 12-minute run. At the start line, we felt just like we did on our first day as Vikings – excited but clueless, standing in the middle of the hallway and getting yelled at by grade 12s. There was our first class, our first spirit event, our first test, our first high school cheeseburger...and our last because prices went up so fast. We’re in grade 12 now. We don’t get yelled at anymore – we’re fearless and bold. For the past couple of months we’ve been pushing ourselves with college, scholarships, and job applications, just like we pushed ourselves during the final sprint of each 12-minute run. And now, we get to relax a bit – we sleep in late, sleep after class, and, well, during class too sometimes. Grads, I think it’s fair to say that every single one of us faced our own immense challenges in our time at North. And although we’re leaving high school behind, things are not going to get easier. The rest of your life isn’t going to be a 12 minute run, it’s going to be a marathon. But keep running, through the pain and the muscle cramps. So, class of 2019, congratulations on surviving high school. Now go out into the world and run your race.

2019 VALEDICTORIAN: EVENS WONG

I have come to realize the intensity of being a senior; it is as if the academics, portfolios, APs, applications, stress and fatigue, and mass amounts of caffeine have all gathered together to snap their fingers, and suddenly, we don’t feel so good. Despite where we all might be going next year, to a university, college, workplace, across the world, or just staying in the comfort of our homes, we are all a part of this graduating class; and although we are tough, as we step out of high school, it does not matter where we are going, that next step is going to be terrifying. Although we hold the same diploma, wear the same gown, same cap, and are walking across the same stage, we are all uniquely different. We are athletes, musicians, artists, scientists, CEOs, mentors, film directors and so much more. We are a diverse population with so much to offer. We are the graduating rebels of 2019: people who resist any authority, control, or tradition, we are rebellious and defiant, 389 students who have made it this far and are still finding our way through the world and still searching for the happiness that awaits us somewhere.

BYRNE CREEK COMMUNITY SCHOOL VALEDICTORIAN: UMAMAH MOKARRAM

We recognize that we are ALL Bulldogs, Bulldogs who’ve yielded to failures, attained individual victories, and most importantly, grown through our time here at this school. As for whether that growth has been good, bad, or somewhere in between...that is for each of us to decide on our own. Yet no matter the final verdict, it is fascinating to see the kind of imprint five years can leave. The announcement of one space project to become the international space station, to the launch of its first element, took five years. Five years was half the time it took Einstein to finalize his theory of general

relativity. 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, five years ago, I’d say first established a solid foundation of Thanos as an antagonist in the MCU. Now five years later, the conflict has reached the endgame. Five years of laughter, friendships, doubt and heartbreak. 1,826 days of discoveries, decisions, of being the last class to follow the old curriculum. Is it idealistic of me, to put our journey next to events that went down in history? Maybe. But it shouldn’t be, for personal growth sets the foundation for us to move forward and engineer the future!

YOUR VALEDICTORIANS

2019

ECOLE CARIBOO HILL SECONDARY SCHOOL VALEDICTORIAN: ZAK THOMPSON

Graduating class, within weeks we will be starting the next chapter of our stories. With these past 12 chapters finished, we are now faced with the choose-our-own-adventure part of the books; what we end up choosing is now really up to us. Some of us will be beginning our first days of college and university, some of us will be busy working, and some of us will be travelling the world looking for new adventures. Fellow graduates, I have a question for you: are these future chapters something you are excited to write about? Throughout this past year I’ve noticed many of you who are feeling pressured to live the lives that someone else thinks is best for you; to go to

INDIGENOUS EDUCATION VALEDICTORIAN: JAKE WILLIAMS

We’ve all come from different backgrounds; some of us dispensed of our childish fancies many years ago, others much more recently. In this time of passing, we are brought to observe the particular impression we have of what the future holds for us: the good and the bad. There is a certain reassuring reconciliation to that, that although the future is by all means unknown, we all share the common experience of speculation into its mysteries. Whatever this investigation leads us towards; exploration of cultural identity, personal identity, post-secondary education, worldly exhibitions, my hope is that I can do my part to ensure my peers feel confident in their investigations, that no matter how far into the future they see their particular inquiry, it is worthy of their time. My sister and I will be the first adults on my father’s side of the family to pursue post-secondary education, and I’m very grateful for this further opportunity for distinction. I hope to set an example of what young people can do given the opportunity to meet the future head on, and courageously step into its obscurity. Above all, I am thankful.

CONGRATULATIONS GRADS OF 2019! “On behalf of the City of Burnaby, congratulations to the grads of 2019! We wish you the best of luck and every success with your future.” Mayor Mike Hurley and City Councillors: Pietro Calendino Sav Dhaliwal Dan Johnston Colleen Jordan

Paul McDonell Joe Keithley Nick Volkow James Wang

In the w ords of Dr. Seu “Oh, the ss, places you’ll g o!”

a particular school, to take a particular program, or to pursue a specific career. For those of you transitioning to post-secondary, I want you to ponder the following question: why are you going to college or university next year? A lot of us have a looming expectation that we will have our lives completely figured out the second we walk out those Cariboo Hill Secondary doors that final day of Grade 12. I’m here to say it’s okay not to have your lives determined right now; once Cariboo Hill doors close, others will open. You’ve worked on those skills for your entire lives, now go take those risks.

MOSCROP SECONDARY SCHOOL VALEDICTORIAN: ELSHEN ALIZADEH-EBADI

Regardless of the degree of the difficulties in life, one should never assume that one’s problems are nothing compared to the disasters faced by the world every day. Even in the darkest moments of our everyday lives, there are always those who are there to help. Whether it be your closest friends or family supporting you, know that you are never alone. Know that, together, we will be a force to be reckoned with, because I know for a fact that the future is safe in your hands and that Moscrop has given us the grip of a thousand snakes. Do not suffer silently. Don’t lose faith in yourselves, for you are the product of the painstaking efforts of a countless number of people, some of whom are here today sitting with you. You are the product of your teachers’ lectures and your guardians’ devotion, every bit of trauma and life lessons driven into you, has given you the wisdom and knowledge to stand properly today, in this moment...right here, right now. I’m not here to tell you that this is the end. This is just the prologue to your story; the best parts will be here momentarily, but, so will the scariest.

City now Fundraising walk helps ﬁght prostate cancer

You can help fight the number 1 cancer in men with a two-, five- or 10-km event at Burnaby Lake On Father’s Day – June 16 – Prostate Cancer Foundation BC will be honouring prostate cancer survivors by holding the annual Raymond James Father’s Day Walk Run at Burnaby Lake Park. The goal of this event is to create awareness of the number 1 cancer in men and to raise money to provide research scientists the opportunity to continue lifesaving work. According to the foundation, one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. After dashing through the finish line, racers will be presented with a Rocky Mountain Chocolate medal, then will enjoy lunch and entertainment from Norman Foote and the Jam Faktory. Registration is at 8 a.m. at the Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion.There will be

distances of two, five and 10 kilometres. Since the event started in 1999, more than $2.5 million has been raised for Prostate Cancer Foundation BC. These funds have gone primarily to support research, awareness and survi-

vorship programs. Prostate Cancer Foundation BC has funded scientists, purchased equipment, and helped newly diagnosed men cope with the life-altering challenges that come along with a prostate cancer diagnosis. See more at www.the fathersdayrun.ca

City now How letting your kids quit can become an important lesson It was my daughter’s choice to join the school band. She wanted to learn how to play a new instrument and was excited to join an extracurricular activity that she could share with friends. But as the year went on, her interest dwindled. For months, she begged to quit and, for months, I encouraged her to continue, determined to teach her it’s important to see things through to the end. But then I realized that if your heart truly isn’t in it, perhaps it’s better to let go. She had also been doing several styles of dance classes, joined the basketball team and was doing track and field. In all of those activities, she was enthusiastic and driven to succeed. But with band, she grew apathetic

I didn’t quit for her. I told her that if she was serious about quitting, she would have to go to her band teacher, and explain to him in person why she has decided to leave. I wanted her to learn that quitting is tough. It takes guts to admit when something isn’t the right fit, and courage to do so gracefully.

It takes guts to admit when something isn’t the right ﬁt.

In life, she will be faced with many scenarios where she will want to take the easy way out and leave a note, send a text, or ask me to make a phone call on her behalf. She will break up with boys, she will decide to withdraw from a class, or she will quit a job.

It won’t be easy, but I want her to learn that if she makes the decision to quit, she needs to show respect, and do so in a respectful manner – face to face. Too often nowadays, we go out of our way to make lives easier for our kids. But by doing the tough stuff for them, we’re setting them up for more difficulties in life when they’re older. Deciding whether or not to let a child quit a nonessential activity is not a make-or-break, life-altering decision. If you do decide to let them quit, I encourage you to let them do so themselves. They’ll not only learn that quitting can be tough, but they’ll also learn that sometimes, it’s OK to quit. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor, and marketing consultant.

and I knew it wasn’t going to stick. Parents struggle with the choice between forcing their children to finish what they’ve started or letting them quit something they clearly don’t enjoy. While “quitters never win” often rings true, knowing when to quit and move on can also be a winning decision. Encouraging children to stick with something they’ve started can be an important life lesson, but letting them quit may lead to the discovery of a lifelong passion. Allowing them to explore their options and pursue their interests early on can strengthen parent-child relationships and increase selfconfidence. Upon realizing that my daughter was overscheduled, uninterested and determined to focus her time on the activities that she loved most, I decided to let her discontinue. Here’s the thing, though:

The Burnaby school district’s What FloatsYour Boat? cardboard boat challenge has evolved yet again, hitting swimming pools in both the north and south of the city this year. Since 2016, local students in grades 3 to 7 have gathered for a day in spring to design, construct and race boats made of cardboard, tape and a few other supplies across a pool. Working in teams, the elementary kids get help from high school volunteers. The event is designed to give students a chance to work on core competencies, like communication and creative thinking. In past years, it all happened at Burnaby North Secondary and the nearby Kensington pool. This year, the district hosted that event on May 30 and another event at Burnaby South Secondary and the MacPherson pool on June 3 and 4.

Call to arms: Above, the pilot of a cardboard boat is all focus as he races his vessel across Kensington pool with a copilot during the school district’s What Floats Your Boat? event on May 30. Left, another team enjoys the water after its boat disintegrates.

Week Congratulations to of the

Chalk Art Experience returns It’s become a favourite for many Burnaby families, and it’s returning to the Bonsor Recreation Complex later this month. The Chalk Art Experience is back, bringing together local and international chalk artists with a full day of entertainment and a variety of activities for kids and families. It’s all happening on Saturday, June 15 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Bonsor Recreation Complex – rain or shine, so dress for the weather. Street painters will transform the pavement into a colourful gallery, while attendees can watch them work, enjoy live music, enjoy refreshments from on-

site food trucks, have their faces painted and more. Among the artists is Burnaby’s own Marie Joy Caldwell, who’s known for her intricate illustrations and surrealist-inspired works. Other B.C. artists lined up to participate are Blake Wydeman, Emily Gray and Oksana Gaidasheva of Vancouver, along with Ian Morris,Teresa Waclawik and Scott Gillies of Victoria. Several artists from California are also scheduled to take part: the team of Ever Galvez and Lynne Okimura of Los Angeles, JoelYau of San Rafael, Lori Escalera of Vista, Sharyn Chan of Goleta, Lorelle A.

Artsnow Legendary beasts at gallery A new exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery is exploring the beasts that roam the Pacific Northwest. Distant Tales, featuring the collaborative work of Fiona Tang and Kathleen McGiveron, opens Saturday, June 8, with a reception from noon to 4 p.m., and runs until Saturday, June 29. A write-up about the exhibition notes that the works in the show will highlight a variety of the legendary creatures that live in and around this region. “These creatures are mythical in stature, and their presence is breathtaking and awe-inspiring,” says the write-up. Tang is a Vancouverbased artist who completed her bachelor of fine arts degree at Emily Carr University with a drawing major. She often works in charcoal, chalk pastel and acrylic in trompe l’oeil style, using animals as her subjects in expressive drawings – drawings that are typically life-size or larger, to emphasize the interaction of view-

ers with her art. McGiveron’s work is described as “rebellious and strange, lowbrow artwork,” using the style of the kitsch ceramic figurine to present reflections on popular culture, politics and internal musings. The two will connect each of the creatures their art examines to an element of the Earth. “As you look upon these beasts, both of which are created using Earth’s materials (clay and charcoal), you will notice how each artist has integrated the elements into the works,” says

the write-up. Everyone is welcome to attend the opening reception, and admission to the gallery is always free (donations welcome). There will also be a special Spoken Ink reading evening at the gallery on Saturday, June 15 from 7 to 9 p.m. on the theme of Writing Through Art. All are welcome, and admission is free. Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. See www.burnabyartscouncil. org or call 604-298-7322 for information.

City now Board of trade tackles housing, plastic waste Janaya Fuller-Evans

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Board of Trade is tackling two important issues with new task forces – housing and plastic waste. The homes and housing task force is run by the social development committee and is giving feedback from a business and social perspective, as well as feedback on reports from the mayor’s taskforce. The Mayor’s Task Force

on Community Housing has been formed to deal with the housing crisis in Burnaby. “It’s really a means of me being able to reflect those views and opinions and ideas from our membership,” said Paul Holden, president and CEO of the Burnaby Board of Trade. “I’m on the Mayor’s Task Force, and I’m on there obviously to reflect the views and interests of our members and the business sector.” The board of trade’s

task force has been formed to look at a variety of issues concerning housing in Burnaby, he said. “We’re looking at the overall housing situation. The challenges and the troubles there have been in the housing sector cover a pretty broad range of housing types,” he said. One area of particular interest is workforce housing, he said. “We’re not just limited to that,” Holden added. “I think we understand the

impacts of solving a broader range of issues on the health and well-being of the business community and the community at large.” The board has also formed a plastic waste task force, which falls under the umbrella of its environmental sustainability committee. It has been established to review ways that the board can help support local businesses in reducing their plastic footprint.This is being done by identifying the sectors, processes and prod-

ucts that can be focused on for plastics reduction initiatives. Partnership opportunities and resources are also being examined. The task force developed a policy on working with and supporting businesses to act on plastics waste, which was adopted as official provincial policy at the 67th B.C. Chamber annual general meeting. “The next phase is to look at what other actions we might take with this kind of policy,” Holden said, “but

also look at what we can do to best support businesses who are looking to reduce their plastic footprint.” It is important to address the issues that come with doing so, he added. “I’m sure there’s a great deal of desire out there to do that, but sometimes there are challenges to taking steps,” he said. “So we’re looking at what we can do to best support businesses that are doing that.”

City now Burnaby student wins gold at national competition Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby computer student has struck gold for two years in a row at the Skills Canada National Competition. Gio Porta won gold in IT Network Systems Administration as a high school student last year; this year he won in the post-secondary category. He’s a Burnaby Mountain Secondary grad but alternated his time in high school between Mountain and the school district’s Cisco Networking Academy at Burnaby South. Now he’s in his first year of computer information system administration at BCIT. “It’s a lot harder because the criteria and scope is different,” Porta said of the post-secondary category at the Olympic-style skills competition in Halifax last week. When Porta spoke to the NOW after his high school gold last year, he said he

planned to go into policing and use his computer skills to thwart bad guys, but now he’s not so sure. “My plan was to do computer forensics and all that, but, at the same time, I kind of like networking and networking seems to be what I’m pretty good at, so I might stick with that,” he said. Every second year, postsecondary competitors who win gold at the national competition qualify for the

WorldSkills competition. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a qualifying year, so Porta hopes to strike national gold for a third time next year, so he can earn a spot atWorldSkills in Shanghai in 2021. Porta’s wasn’t the only IT Network Systems Administration medal for Burnaby at the national championships this year. Ian Ertzinger, a student in Burnaby South’s Cisco Networking Academy, earned silver in the high school category.

What to expect when you’re prescribed a root canal and why you shouldn’t be afraid! 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.

Burnaby ﬂashes winning road skills Knights clean up at B.C.s

Meet the new road warriors. The Burnaby Lakers became the last undefeated team in the Western Lacrosse Association, after stopping the Maple Ridge Burrards 8-5 on Sunday at the Cam Neely Arena. The senior A squad got off to a roaring start, staking out a 4-0 lead on goals by Daryl Veltman, Sam Clare, Laszlo Henning and Robert Church before the home team finally put one

past Burnaby netminder Eric Penney early in the second period. Church’s tally was a shorthanded goal seven minutes into the middle frame. Although Maple Ridge would cut the deficit to three goals on two occasions, the Lakers seemed to always have an answer. Clare, Henning and Veltman each tallied twice, while Zach Gould also scored.

The win came on the heels of another road victory on Friday, when Burnaby dumped Victoria 8-5, with Church and Veltman scoring twice. In that contest, the visitors erased a three-goal deficit with six unanswered goals. Burnaby hosts Maple Ridge on Friday, 7:30 p.m. at the Bill Copeland Arena.You can read more on the 4-0 Lakers at www.burnabynow. com.

Byrne Creek bends, builds rugby future

Burnaby school came a few tries short in its first attempt at rugby provincials Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

They earned the right to be disappointed – crushed even. But from every other vantage point, the loss Saturday that the Byrne Creek Bulldogs boys rugby team suffered in the AA tier 2 provincial final was just a footnote for a tremendous season. Byrne Creek coach Moreno Stefanon envisioned the main benefit of the whole program before it became more than an idea,

Play

and a 19-10 loss to Sir Charles Tupper in Abbotsford in the final. “It’s definitely been something special,” Stefanon said of the season. “It’s a testament of the buyin from the kids. … I said the rugby part is the easy part. It’s getting kids to want to come to practice, to commit to something and want to learn something.That’s the real thing, and after that, the growth is exponential.” It was an uphill slog, as reflected in the final against Tupper.The Vancouver school grabbed an ear-

ly lead, scoring the first try just seven minutes into the contest on a well-executed five-pass play to the right side of the field. Darius Morrison put the Bulldogs on the scoreboard at the 15-minute mark when he nailed a convert, but on the last play of the first half Tupper’s Mitchell Morgan darted past a number of Burnaby tacklers to put the ball to make it 12-3. Byrne Creek closed the gap 10 minutes into the second half on Shafiq Zikria’s try, followed by a

convert, to trail 12-8.They had a glorious chance to pull ahead with 10 minutes remaining but saw their momentum halted on the goal line.Tupper would a few minutes later put it away on Morgan’s second try of the day. “It was a big achievement.We started from nothing, just a bunch of guys that didn’t know how to play rugby,” remarked the most experienced player on the roster, international transfer student Francesco Tosato.

They did it with gusto. Buoyed by a strong lineup mixed with seniors and young up-andcomers, the St.Thomas More Knights survived a few scary moments to win the B.C. AA senior girls soccer title last week in Campbell River. Undefeated through the high school soccer season, the Knights nonetheless had to change pace at times during the three-day tournament, capped with a 4-0 victory over the host Carihi Tyees. “It was such an amazing feeling because we deserved this championship so much.The way we played in the semifinals and the finals we proved we were the best team there,” remarked co-captain Kyara Armenta. The Burnaby squad opened the scoring at the 15-minute mark, when Armenta finished off a nice play from forward Kaya Crescenzo. Five minutes later, Crescenzo counted her first of two, followed by a penalty kick five more minutes later off the boot of Sara Smyth. Crescenzo completed the offence in the second half as the Knights picked up its second B.C. title in three years. “I’ve been blessed to have some really good players.We practise quite a bit, and the kids come to practice and put in the commitment,” remarked coach Carlo Zavarise. “That helps us when we have some talented teams to compete for a championships.When we’re not as talented it at least gives us a chance to get there. It’s all because the kids work at it.” Winning became a habit, first with the Catholics championship in April, and then the independent league playoff title. At the provincials, hopes were high, as were the stakes.The Knights received a good test right away. They squeaked past Hugh Roberts 1-0 in the opener, then rolled to 6-2 and 5-2 wins over L.V. Rogers and Ballenas. In the semifinal, the Knights rallied from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Carney 3-1. Earning the tourney MVP award was Crescenzo, while Smyth was voted to the Commissioner’s 11.

A LOT GOES INTO YOUR WEBSITE

Barracudas mark 60 years Since its inception in the summer of 1959, the Burnaby Barracudas have brought passion, sportsmanship and fun to Burnaby’s youth. According to Keith Watson, the Barracudas’ head coach in the early 60s, the establishment of Burnaby’s original summer swim club was for kids “who (did) not have an opportunity to swim all year round (but wanted) a chance to compete in summer meets.” The club marks its 60th anniversary with this weekend’s annual Barracudas Grand Prix meet at the Central Park Pool. In the first few years, the Barracudas had about 50 swimmers.Today, the club has grown to more than 260 speed swimmers, water polo players and divers. The club, affectionately called “the ’Cudas” by members and alumni, had humble origins at Deer Lake. Parents were required to register their children at city hall, and lesson-goers were picked up from their respective schools by bus.

Later, novice swimmers learned at Confederation Park Pool before being transferred to Deer Lake. The ‘Cudas trained out of Deer Lake from 1959 to 1964 before moving to the newly built outdoor pools of Central Park, MacPherson, Kensington and Robert Burnaby. One of the original Barracudas swimmers is Jim Storie, retired owner of Vancouver’s Trolley Bus Company. Storie joined the club in 1960 and swam with the ’Cudas until he was 17.The club had 20 swimmers in those days, he recalls. Storie would win a silver medal at one of the first B.C. Summer Swimming provincials, in the individual medley. He remembers diving off a raft in the middle of Deer Lake. “Swimming was a big part of my life. I made lots of friends that I kept in touch with over the years. I was competitive throughout my life in different areas but likely it all began with competitive swimming,” said Storie. In 1964 the Barracudas

hosted the first invitational swim meet at CG Brown pool with 12 clubs participating. Later that year the club competed in their first BCSSA provincial championship at UBC’s Empire pool.The club would eventually go on to host the provincial championships in 1997 and 2004 at Central Park Pool. Burnaby archives indicate that Barracuda athletes had consistent and impressive performances, especially among the younger age groups. Some went onto higher levels of competition, including Brandon Jung, a member of Canada’s 2008 Water Polo Olympic team, and more recently, Octavia Lau, who in 2018 competed at World Junior open water championships and the World Junior Pan Am Games. Throughout the decades the Barracudas continue the proud tradition to be competitive and have fun doing it. It’s all about bringing the best of competitive sport together with fun, friendships and a community spirit.

SUPPORT YOUNG ATHLETES COMPETING IN THE GIRO DI BURNABY Hosting an out of town professional cycling team for 11 days in July has become a yearly tradition for Burnaby residents, Margaret and Dennis Hansen, who have been hosting riders in their home for over 10 years. Every summer, the Giro di Burnaby comes to the streets of the Burnaby Heights neighbourhood, as part of the BC Superweek series featuring 9 races over 10 days, with more than $140,000 in prize money up for grabs. But even with prize money on the line, the teams and riders that travel across the globe to race are always in need of a helping hand when it comes to local accommodation. For Margaret and Dennis, who have hosted teams from Oregon, California, Germany, and South America, they look forward to the opportunity to learn more about the psychology of racing, and love having riders and teams to cheer for during the series. “It’s an easy way to support young athletes” says Margaret. “The teams are as self-sufficient as you want them to be. They will provide and prepare all of their own meals, but are often happy to join you and your family for a meal if they are invited.”

It can be especially exciting for the Hansen family when they are able to host the same team for multiple years, building closer relationships with the riders, and sometimes, sharing in some amazing experiences with them. “Florenz Knauer, one of the German riders we’ve hosted, has returned to race BC Superweek many times. We watched him propose to his girlfriend after winning the New West Grand Prix. Though his team only stayed with us for one year, we continue to follow his career, and cheer him on at all the BC Superweek events.” noted Dennis. As the Giro di Burnaby - and BC Superweek as a whole - continues to ﬂourish, so does the reputation of the series amongst the international professional cycling community. Increased international attention means, naturally, that there is an increased need for host homes in communities across the Lower Mainland. “The costs associated with travel and accommodation for these teams is staggering.” says Rainy Kent, Race Director of the Giro di Burnaby. “Not only does community host housing help these young athletes save on the costs associated with competing at this level, it provides a unique opportunity for community members to connect with the sport.”

If you are interested in hosting a team or rider during the 2019 BC Superweek series (July 5-14, 2019) and can provide accommodation, bathroom, kitchen facilities, and safe bike storage for the 11 night duration, visit girodiburnaby.com

Looking for a new home? Start here.

Metro Vancouver home sales jump 44.2 per cent in a month, but prices slip After a dismal spring so far, Metro Vancouver residential real estate activity leaped by 44.2 per cent month over month to 2,638 homes sold in May, according to figures released June 4 by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).

market, and inventory continues to pile up. There were 5,861 homes newly listed last month, which is 8.1 per cent less than May 2018 but a 2.1 per cent increase compared with April. It’s also more than double the number of homes sold last month.

However, May is historically the busiest month of the year for home sales, and last month’s jump was from a very low base. May’s transaction total is still 6.9 per cent lower than in May 2018, 22.9 per cent below the 10-year average for the month and the lowest May total since 2000.

The total number of homes listed for sale on Metro Vancouver’s MLS is 14,685, a 30 per cent increase compared with May 2018 and up 2.3 per cent since April 2019. This is the highest number of homes listed for sale since September 2014, said the board.

Still, the new figures do mark a notable improvement over the 29.1 per cent annual sales drop seen in April 2019, which was 43.1 per cent below April’s 10-year average. The board maintained its stance of attributing low demand to the mortgage stress test. “High home prices and mortgage qualification issues caused by the federal government’s B20 stress test remain significant factors behind the reduced demand that the market is experiencing today,” said Ashley Smith, REBGV president. Despite the increased sales activity in May, it was not enough to offset all the new listings coming on to the

However, the improved absorption rate meant that Metro Vancouver stayed firmly in a balanced market in May. For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for May 2019 is 18 per cent. When broken down by property type, the ratio is 14.2 per cent for detached homes (returning to a balanced market, if maintained for several months), 20 per cent for townhomes and 21.2 per cent for apartments (both edging back toward seller’s markets, but again, only if this ratio is sustained).

PRICE DECLINES Despite this, the generous supply of homes for buyers to choose from is pulling prices down, with the composite

Burnaby / Tri-Cities

benchmark price of a home (all property types combined) across Metro Vancouver now at $1,006,400. This is an 8.9 per cent drop since May 2018, and a slim 0.4 per cent decline compared with April 2019. In Burnaby North, benchmark prices on all home types increase slightly over April, but all three Burnaby markets remained approximately in line with annual regional price declines. By property type, Burnaby North saw townhome prices rise three per cent month over month, compared with 1.7 per cent for Burnaby South and no movement in Burnaby East. However, the three areas straddled the region-wide trend for annual declines in detached home and attached home prices.

Jason Turcotte, vice-president of development at Cressey Development Group, said, “The current market is reflective of a change in buyer sentiment. Prospective homebuyers are taking their time in purchasing; this doesn’t mean the activity is not there, it just means they feel they have time on their side in this market.”

MINICHIELLO, Michael September 25, 1924 to May 24, 2019 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our dear father, Nono and Great Nono. MichaelMike was born in Civitanova Del Sannio, Italy and immigrated to Canada at the age of 13. He is pre-deceased by his adoring wife of 63 years, Josephine, and brothers Peter (Doreen) and John, and brother-in-law Domenic (Ann). Survived by his loving family; daughter Gloria (Ross), sons Joe (Robin) and Anthony (Elaine), grandchildren Michael (Cara), Keith (Christina), Lorinda (Bryan), Delaney and Quincy, great grandchildren Ethan and Lara, his sister-in-law Diane and brother-in-law Joe (Mary) Lastoria. Mike was a barber on Hastings Street in Vancouver and Burnaby for over three decades where he loved talking to people and debating politics. He was always very personable, friendly and had a great deal of empathy for people and animals . He told stories of tending to his family’s livestock in Italy. Mike took on a lot of responsibility at a very young age as his father emigrated to Canada. His second day in Canada he started shining shoes in downtown Vancouver. His next job was at the Hotel Vancouver eventually moving up the ranks to a pastry chef position (loved making pies). After that it was the Roundhouse (railway terminal) as a Blacksmith. Later, during the war effort, he worked at the shipyard building mine sweeper ships. He was always an avid vegetable gardener, took great pride in the quantity and quality of the tomatoes he and mom grew. During the last number of years, he lived independently at Rideau Manor where he made many friends with both residents and staff. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to his fellow residents. Our sincerest gratitude goes out to the staff at Rideau Manor as well as all the nurses and doctors who attended to him during his final days at Vancouver General Hospital. A visitation will be held on Thursday, June 6th from 6:00-8:00 PM at Bell and Burnaby Funeral Chapel, 4276 Hastings St, Burnaby. Mass of Christian Burial, will be Celebrated on Friday, June 7th, 10:00 AM at St. Francis of Assisi Parish, 2025 Napier Street, Vancouver after which there will be a reception. Entombment Ocean View South Mausoleum. Donations may made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Condolences for the family may be left at www.bellburnaby.com 604-298-2525

Our Mother, Nell (Dorofay) MacLellan, lived an amazing 100 years and exactly 8 months. She was born in Saskatchewan on August 04, 1918 in a little area called Lily Vale. The nearest town was Pelly. Nell attended White Beech school until 8th grade, she was 14 and she left home to work on a ranch in Alberta cooking for a very large crew and looking after three children. In 1942, Nell married Bill MacLellan in an intimate ceremony in Toronto. The newlyweds had a twoday honeymoon in Niagara Falls before Bill had to return to the Army. [Bill passed away, a victim of COPD, in 2003]. When Nell moved to Vancouver, she completed her hairdressing degree in 1937 at Maxine’s School of Hairdressing and then started teaching hairdressing there. Bill returned from the war in 1945 and a few years later he and his father and uncles built a new home on Grandview Highway in Burnaby (Charlie’s Chocolate Factory is on this land now). Nell opened Nelene’s salon in the living room and slaved there for many years, sometimes working from 7am to 12am. She also worked as a nighttime answering machine operator in the Lee Building on Main Street, and then at VGH as an elevator operator and, also, ward clerk. Some of these simultaneously. The family moved to Kitsilano in Vancouver for about two years and then to the final family home on Capitol Hill. Her working career continued as she performed various surveys for York University around the Lower Mainland and even in Prince Rupert and when Bruce opened Mountain Gems in 1994, customers very much enjoyed her assistance. She also walked down Capitol Hill and up most days!! Nell always had room for visiting relatives and friends and could always make another place or more at the table for meals. And, in 1983, she made room for her daughter and beloved grandson, Duncan. Nell & Bill spent many vacations on fishing trips (mostly in BC) and saw more lakes and rivers and streams than one could imagine existed here. Nell enjoyed travelling and visited Hawaii, Mexico, the Cayman Islands, Scotland, Wales & England, the West Coast of the US and many, many places in Canada. In 1985, she ventured on her own to New Zealand and Australia for 4 months with just a single carry-on bag! In New Zealand she made life-long friends of Tonny & Harry, and Ross & Jan, and in Australia, Margaret & Bernie. After Nell moved down to her apartment, she kept busy with a small front garden and even more busy as other tenants let her do their gardening for them, and playing cards twice a week nearby at Confederation Seniors’ Centre and at Cameron Centre. Nell discovered her favourite pastime - any casino! In 2015, Jan missed a step and pushed Nell who was in front of her out of Nell’s front door, Nell broke her left hip. Although she recovered amazingly quickly, she gave up driving, and gardening, but still spent most days walking up hill to Mcdonald’s for coffee and ice cream; she often went to the cookie store on Hastings, taking cookies to the staff of Mountain Gems. She continued to take walks well into her 99th year. Our mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin and friend will be missed by us all. Bruce, Jan & Rob, Duncan & Aislyn; Erica & her family; Shirley, Bev & Craig, Judy & her family; Linda; Stefania; Kit & Peter & their family; Doug & Margaret, Jim, and Rick & Annette and all their families; Nellie, Diane & Phyllis & their families; Larry & Aya; Nadia; Wendy & Earl, Ethel, Evlyn & Orville, Robert & Verna, & Joe; Robert & Ann & their family; Don; Heather, Sharen & Audrey & their families, Jo-Anne, Leonard & his family; Mike & Pearl & their family; Mike & Yvonne & their family; Tatiana & her son Alex; Joy; Nieva [our godsend, she loved and looked after mom for many years, enabling her to stay in her home till the end] & Violeta who only came to us last year. And many more family and friends than I can list… Although Nell was beset with a, sometimes, sweet dementia, she seemed happy in her own home and we are very glad we didn’t succumb to the idea of a ‘home’. Nieva, Rob & Bruce took turns staying over at night. Jan arranged her care workers and took control of her medications. In the end, on Saturday, May 04, 2019, she walked over to her chair, sat down, and her heart stopped. A very peaceful way to leave this life and exactly what she wished for…

SLUIS, Mabel May 16, 2019 Mabel Sluis was a dedicated wife, mother, and teacher who passed away peacefully on May 16, 2019 due to a long term battle with cancer. She was a faithful believer, and dedicated resource teacher at John Knox for over 30 years. Many people who knew Mabel, say she lived a joyful, vibrant life. She is survived by her husband Norm, son Peter, parents, and sisters. A Celebration of Life will be held for Mabel on June 7th, 3pm at Coquitlam Alliance Church, 2601 Spuraway Ave, Coquitlam, BC.

During the last few years, so many of you contacted us specifically to ask about mom and check that she was doing okay, thanks for that caring and thank you all for your love for our mother, Janice and Bruce There will be Lunch at the Confederation Seniors’ Centre on June 08, 2019. Please RSVP to Jan at jmaclellan105@gmail.com by June 4th if you can attend.
