COURT

Parent can be fired for refusing out-of-town work Jeremy Hainsworth

editorial@burnabynow.com

A parent of an infant may be fired for refusing to take an out-of-province work assignment, the Supreme Court of Canada has said in denying the appeal of a B.C. Appeal court ruling.

B.C.’s top court said in February an employee had not established that his being ordered to work out of town for a period would harm the care his newborn

first child would receive.

The Supreme Court’s Aug. 8 denial of leave to appeal upholds that decision.

“There are many parents who are required to be away from home for extended periods for work-related reasons who continue to meet their obligations to their children,” the appeal court said Feb. 5 in ordering the case returned to B.C.’s Human Rights Tribunal.

That decision overturned earlier ones from both the

Supreme Court of B.C. and the tribunal.

The Supreme Court of Canada does not give reasons for decisions denying a leave to appeal.

Brian Suen alleged before the tribunal that Burnabybased Envirocon Environmental Services discriminated against him on the basis of family status when, shortly after the birth of his daughter, who had jaundice, it assigned him in January 2016 to a Manitoba

project requiring him to be away from home for eight to 10 weeks.

On previous out-of-town assignments, the company had rotated Suen home.

Considering his family situation, Suen refused, saying in “consideration of my wife and four-month-old baby, I will not be going to Manitoba.”

The company director of projects replied in an email that Suen’s response was insubordinate. He was imme-

diately fired.

The tribunal decision said the company asserted it was a condition of Suen’s employment that he could be assigned to work on projects away from Burnaby, an assertion Suen denied.

Suen filed a complaint with the tribunal, which Envirocon applied to have dismissed. Tribunal member Emily Ohler ruled evidence justified the case going to a hearing, a decision B.C. Supreme Court Justice Miri-

Envirocon appealed and won in the appeal court.

The Supreme Court of Canada case summary said the B.C. Appeal Court had ruled the facts alleged by Suen “could not establish that the change in the term or condition of employment had resulted in a serious interference with a substantial parental or other family duty or obligation.”

Camp ignites teen girls’ interest in firefighting

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Whether or not the 25 girls who attended Camp Ignite last week ever choose a career in the fire service, organizers are confident it will make a powerful impression on them.

The four-day, three-night camp gave girls 16 to 18 a taste of what firefighting is all about – and that usually means pushing themselves past their physical and mental comfort zones, whether it’s by rappelling off a training tower, donning a selfcontained breathing apparatus and plunging into a smoke-filled building, or fighting actual flames.

“It is always a life-changing week for these girls,” says fire Lt. Heather Wilson, a 21-year firefighter with the Burnaby fire department and one of the camp’s three founders.

It is always a lifechanging week for these girls.

Wilson and her co-founders – Vancouver firefighter Jenn Dawkins and District of North Vancouver firefighter Carla King-Penman – started the camp eight years ago, after attending a seminar on diversity a couple years earlier.

Firefighting in B.C. is still a male-dominated profession, with male firefighters far outnumbering their female counterparts.

“The fire service in general was trying to find out ways to attract more women to the job, and we decided that we could do our part,” Wilson said.

The key is to raise awareness, according to Wilson.

“I think there’s just a general lack of awareness of what is required and that it is achievable with hard

work,” she said, “but because there are still so few women that are actual firefighters, that’s not what people see.”

Regardless of campers’

ultimate career choice, however, Camp Ignite organizers hope to empower them and give them a chance to try things they might not otherwise have thought of

trying.

Each day of the camp is hosted by different fire departments.

This year, the girls will be in Vancouver, the North

Shore, Port Moody and Maple Ridge.

Departments are also encouraged to sponsor a participant from their city, allowing the girls to attend for free.

“All of the unions and the city fire departments have all been really supportive of it,” Wilson said.

The Burnaby Fire Department sponsored Cariboo Hill Secondary Grade 11 student Chanebelle Murphy-Salazar.

“It’s important for Burnaby Fire to sponsor female participants every year,” deputy fire Chief Darcy O’Riordan told the NOW. “We encourage diversity in our ranks that reflects the community we serve. I’m confident Chanebelle will have an amazing week. Perhaps it will ‘ignite’ an interest in a career in firefighting.”

Murphy-Salazar, however, is keeping her options open.

“It’s on my list,” she said of firefighting. “I’m just kind of exploring what I want to do right now.”

But she does like the idea of a girls-only firefighting camp and women mentors.

“I heard only four per cent of the fire department is female, so it makes me feel really good that we have this program to get more females interested in becoming firefighters,” she said.

“I kind of want to see women more empowered, not overpowering men, but us being equal.”

Asked why she’s considering a career in firefighting or policing, she said: “I want to feel like I matter and I can help people, and I just want to, I guess, be powerful, in a way.”

POLITICS

Singh responds to accusations of improper campaigning Federal NDP Leader and Burnaby South MP Jagmeet Singh is being accused of improperly using his riding’s constituency office for campaign purposes.

Singh held what was billed in a news release as an “open house” Friday at his Kingsway constituency office, which is funded by tax dollars.

But the event was initially identified as a campaign

event in an email sent out by the NDP on Wednesday, according to Liberal MP Hedy Fry. “It recently came to my attention that Mr. Singh is making use of his constituency office and other House of Commons resources to support his personal re-election campaign,” Fry wrote in a letter to the House of Commons’ Board of Internal Economy.

According to Fry, the email read, “This is your opportunity to see where the magic happens – whether you want to learn more about Jagmeet and our NDP team, you’re interested in getting involved for the first time, or you’re a longtime New Democrat whose (sic) been involved for years – we’re hoping you’ll join us. Let’s all come together and get

ready to get excited, spread the word, and run the best possible campaign here in Burnaby South!’”

Fry says in her letter that this event “clearly and egregiously relates to the member’s re-election, and is thus a direct violation of the members bylaw enacted by the Board of Internal Economy under the authority of the Parliament of Canada Act.”

The NDP email was followed by another saying the first was “sent in error” and a subsequent email removed references to the upcoming campaign, identifying it as a constituency office open house, according to Fry. On Monday, Singh told the NOW the initial email was “an obvious error” made by a staff member. The event was never

planned to be related to the campaign or party business, he said.

“It was an open house; it’s always going to be an open house,” Singh said.

“There’s no way you should be campaigning or anyone should be campaigning from their constituency office. That’s a basic thing everyone knows – not to use your constituency office for that.”

Citynow Brewery wants permission to build a parklet Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The CEO of Steamworks Brewing wants to build a parklet outside his North Burnaby brewery.

Eli Gershkovitch presented his idea to Burnaby city council recently, calling the idea “a chance to enhance our community.”

Parklets are patio areas built in public on-street parking areas, usually financed and maintained by

a private property owner, he explained.

Gershkowitch said many other cities – including Vancouver, Montreal, Bellingham and San Francisco – already have successful parklet programs.

The brewer asked the city to start a pilot program by allowing Steamworks to build a parklet outside its William Street brewery. He said most people know his company’s brewpub in Vancouver’s Gastown, but don’t

realize the bulk of its brewing happens in Burnaby.

“What we want to do is engage the public; we want to let the world know that we really are from Burnaby,” he said. “We want to be outward facing in terms of our interaction and our relationship with our home community. We don’t want to be hiding behind cinder blocks.”

The parklet would be open 24/7 to the public, he said.

“You can bring a coffee; you can read a book; you can bring your own lunch,”

he said.

Council directed staff to study the issue and report

to the city’s planning and development about a potential pilot program.

City planning new rec centre Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby wants your input as it plans for a new recreation centre in the municipality’s northwest.

The city launched on Monday an online survey asking residents what kind of facilities and programs they want.

The survey, found at burnaby.ca, will be open until Sept. 30.

The city will also have a pop-up event providing you with an opportunity to give feedback directly to staff on on Thursday, Sept. 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre.

“This is about making sure your needs are top of mind as we invest in new facilities,” Mayor Mike Hurley said in a statement.

“Let’s build great places for people to exercise, create and connect with neighbours.Your input will help make this happen.”

The city says the survey will help it plan for the future of community centres and city facilities in the area of the city north of Highway

1 and west of Kensington Avenue.

The city is in the consultation phase of plans to replace the Willingdon Heights Community Centre and add a new recreation centre next to the Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

We need to turn down the political temperature

We are appalled at news that West Vancouver’s mayor and council were targeted with death threats spraypainted on a developer’s signboard.

While appearing to be a political statement of sorts, there’s no way to know exactly what the motivation was for the threat.

What we do know is that it’s extremely unnerving.

Whether or not we agree with a person’s politics, most people who seek local public office do so in the hopes of improving

their communities. They shouldn’t have to wonder if they are safe from harm because someone doesn’t like the way they voted.

Just look at what happened in Maple Ridge, where former mayor Nicole Read had to go into hiding after threats – leading her to not run again in 2018.

These incidents present a new low in public discourse that was already in an ungracious freefall. Some people, utterly convinced of their own righteousness, seem to now feel completely

unencumbered by common decency.

On social media, people hiding behind anonymous accounts hurl personal insults, libellous statements and conspiracy theories.

We doubt that those who have publicly disagreed with a city council have anything to do with the spray-painted threats. But when you create a climate where nasty personal attacks are OK, there will always be someone who decides to take it further.

We’ll remind everyone

who has been on the losing side of a political struggle that even when you do not get your way, the world does not end.

All this does is muddy the waters, making sure the next person considering putting their name forward for public office thinks about staying home instead.

It’s in this deteriorating political climate that we enter what is going to be an ugly federal election.

We got a brief look at it in the riding of Burnaby South, when some people

tried to hijack an all-candidates’ meeting by hurling racist comments – derailing what should have been a chance to hear candidates discuss policy. Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh showed true leadership in his handling of the chaos.

That was just a bitter taste of what is happening now on a larger scale and what is going to only get worse as the campaign continues. Things will intensify as the election date gets closer.

We’ve already seen mul-

tiple threats made to the life of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on social media.

Dark forces are poisoning the political landscape with anonymous attacks and fear-mongering about such topics as immigration.

People need to continue calling out this behaviour and work towards lowering the temperature on the political scene.

This is Canada. We are supposed to be better than this. Right now, we aren’t, and that’s a national disgrace.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

B.C. could crown a federal victor The federal election campaign is gearing up, and there is the looming possibility that B.C. could crown a victor.

It is conceivable that by the time we determine how B.C.’s 42 seats are claimed, neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives will have won enough seats in the rest of the country to form a majority government.

This kind of scenario has been predicted before and has fallen flat on its face. In 2015, a huge victory by the Justin Trudeau-led Liberals seemed almost certain while British Columbians were still at polling stations.

But perhaps on Oct. 21, B.C. will truly prove to be a kingmaker. If so, about 16 or so ridings will prove to be the keys to victory for either of the major parties (as well, B.C. riding results may have a disproportionately large impact on the very future of the other two parties – the Greens and the NDP).

Barring some kind of seismic shift in voting patterns, about half the ridings are won by the same party every election. The NDP owns most of Vancouver Island and the east side of Vancouver, the Liberals are strongest in the west side of Vancouver and some of its suburbs, and the Conservatives are always strong in the North and the Interior.

But every election is different in some way, and this fall is shaping up to be a fascinating race.

Can the Liberals hang onto ridings seemingly won because of that wave of Trudeaumania that swept

the country in 2015 but seems to have ebbed considerably since then?

I’m referring to ridings in the Okanagan, Surrey, Delta, Langley and even North Vancouver – all areas once dominated by the Conservatives. Will those seats revert back to the Conservative fold, or is there enough lingering Trudeaumania to keep them with the Liberals?

As for the NDP, the party looks like it is about to take a beating at the hands of the voters in the rest of Canada, particularly in Quebec.

However, things look a lot brighter for it in this province. It is hard to see the party losing its traditional strongholds on Vancouver Island, with the possible exception of Victoria, where its popular incumbent MP, Murray Rankin, is not running again.

Over coffee last week, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh told me his party is also hoping to win a couple of seats in Surrey. That could stand as the party’s biggest accomplishment on election night.

As for the Greens, any momentum the party seemed to have in public opinion appears to be slipping, although party leader Elizabeth May seems to be a lock on her Vancouver Island seat.

So the table is set for B.C. determining, potentially at least, whether or not either the Liberals or the Conservatives form a majority come the fall.

Hospital sorry for long wait Burnaby Hospital formally apologized to 60-year-old Shirley Chapman, who was left waiting for more than seven hours to have a broken wrist examined.

Chapman eventually left Burnaby Hospital and went to Vancouver General Hospital to have her wrist taken care of. The hospital said there was a shortage of operating room staff that led to the delay because Chapman needed to be treated under general anesthesia.

“All I want is something better,” Chapman said at a news conference.

We need a universal plan Editor: Currently, in Canada, there is, to put it bluntly, a patchwork of prescription drug coverage which is expensive and unfair, leaving our most vulnerable citizens without coverage. Across Canada, coverage varies from person to person, province to province.

As our population ages, this “system” is only going to get worse. Far too many citizens have very inadequate or no coverage at all.

It is time for a universal, single-payer, public pharmacare system available to all Canadian residents. There is a federal election coming this fall. I will be voting for a party that includes a universal pharmacare plan for all Canadians. I am hoping that other Canadian voters will also look to the party who includes this important issue in their consideration when voting in 2019.

Linear path dangerous

Editor: Once again this morning, I almost got hit by a car on the new Willingdon linear path.

It doesn’t matter if you’re riding a bike, scooter, skateboard or are some kid rolling down with his wheely shoes, the linear path is a death trap.

Motorists do not stop at the stop sign, they stop abruptly right at the corner while looking left to see if there’s oncoming traffic, never looking for a second what is coming down the path.

People are far too concerned with their stupid phones and their important lives to worry about killing some kid trying to enjoy the summer.

Ryan Currier, Burnaby

Cyclists to blame because they don’t follow rules Editor: I read with interest the column written by Chris Campbell regarding cyclists and the daily risks that they face while negotiating their way through traffic.

I do a four-kilometre walk every day at 5 a.m. from my home, around the Lougheed Mall and back home again along Noel Drive. There is hardly a day goes by that I don’t see a cyclist run a red light. Prior to entering the intersection at either Lougheed and Austin (going west on Lougheed) or Noel/Cameron or Noel/Beaverbrook (going south), they do a quick right-left check and just keep on going if they do not see a car regardless of the fact that the light is red. Last Thursday two cyclists went westbound on Lougheed through a red light while I was waiting for the walk sign to cross over Austin.

I also drive into Vancouver from Burnaby two days a week for work and watch as cyclists weave in and out of traffic on Hastings and Water streets trying to get ahead.

Rather than have the “upmost admiration for people who experience this every day and still get on a bicycle” as Chis does, I wonder why they think that they are above the law and/or are willing to risk their lives for the sake of a few seconds.

We are constantly being cautioned to share the road and be aware of cyclists and motorcyclists, but, in my experience, many feel that have special privileges that the rest of us who walk on foot or drive a car do not.

SINGING THE BLUES: Grey skies, you say? Mother Nature may not have been entirely on board, but fans at the Burnaby Blues

+ Roots Festival weren’t about to let that stop the fun. Crowds packed the lawn at Deer Lake Park once again on Saturday, Aug. 10 to see performances by a lineup headlined by Canadian indie rock icon Feist. Clockwise from top left: Southern Avenue wowed the crowd; Feist closed out the night; Vancouver troubador Dan Mangan performed for hometown fans; The War and Treaty brought their powerhouse rootssoul sounds from Washington, D.C.; Lord Huron was a hit with fans; festivalgoers cheered on the performers; festival attendees dressed for the weather to enjoy the party; Indigenous singer-songwriter William Prince took to the stage. The festival also offered a side stage with blues workshops led by Vancouver blues veteran Jack Lavin, as well as a kids’ area with crafts and, of course, an assortment of food trucks and beverage options.

City now TERRY FOX RUN

Keeping the legacy alive Terry Fox had a single dream: a world without cancer. With this dream, he sought to reach out to every corner of Canada, and beyond, when he embarked on his Marathon of Hope.

Terry Fox ran the equivalent of a marathon a day for 143 days straight, on one leg, to raise awareness of the need for cancer research funding. When his own cancer spread, he was forced to stop running. The heroic Canadian was gone, but his legacy was just beginning.

Burnaby is hosting its 33rd Terry Fox Run this year and after almost 10 years of successfully taking the lead, Anna and Jana Solnickova are passing the reins as run organizers to Mario Miceli. With experience in event planning and as an avid Terry Fox Run participant himself, Miceli plans on making Burnaby’s 2019 Terry Fox Run a success.

“Terry Fox exemplifies the power of one person’s determination to improve the world for many,” said Miceli. “The Terry Fox Run is our way of continu-

Canadian hero: Terry Fox is an international icon, an inspiration to many who participate in the annual Terry Fox Run that takes place once again this Sunday, Sept. 15. PHOTO GAIL HARVEY, CONTRIBUTED

ing the legacy of this Canadian hero. As a Burnaby resident, fellow SFU alumnus and someone who has been touched far too often by cancer, this was an easy decision. This year, I am calling on the incredible citizens, businesses and employers in Burnaby to become a part of this year’s run/walk. Whether through participation or other contribution, we all need to do our part to support Terry’s legacy and cancer research.”

This year’s event in Burn-

aby is once again at Swangard Stadium in Central Park on Sunday, Sept.

15. Burnaby’s registration opens at 9 a.m. and the event starts at 10 a.m. Participants can run, walk, bike, and roller blade and have the option of 1, 2, 5, and 10 km distances.

Burnaby itself has raised $411,791.37 since its first run in 1986. To register a team, visit terryfox.org. To volunteer or for info, contact Mario at burnaby terryfoxrun@gmail.com.

City now Burnaby cadet takes to the skies in summer program Alec Yang, a teen cadet at 637 Arrow Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron and student at Moscrop Secondary School in Burnaby, is spending his summer soaring the sky as he pursues his glider pilot licence through the cadet program in CFB Comox.

“I was scared during my first flight on a glider when I was younger,” said Yang, 16.

“Now I get an incredible thrill being able to fly a glider by myself.”

Yang recently completed his first solo flight.

The Glider Pilot Scholarship training program requires candidates to complete a minimum of 24 flights with an instructor before they are able to fly by themselves.

The six-week training program results in successful candidates graduating with their Transport Canada Glider Pilot Licence.

Outside the cadet program,Yang enjoys participating in Model United Nations debates.

“Regardless of whatever you do, try your best, set an attainable goal and work towards it,” says Yang.

There are many summer training courses attended by approximately 20,000 Sea, Army and Air Cadets across Canada this summer.

The cadet program is for youth 12 to 18 years of age.

Artsnow Catch Phantoms in the Front Yard at Deer Lake Gallery A collective of artists dedicated to bringing figurative art back to the forefront will be showing work at Deer Lake Gallery this month.

Phantoms in the Front Yard, a Vancouver-based collective, is showing work at the gallery from Saturday, Aug. 17 to Saturday, Sept.

14. An opening reception is on Aug. 17 from noon to 4 p.m.

The collective includes Vancouver artists Michael Abraham, Jeremiah Birnbaum, Andrea Hooge, Paul Morstad, Jay Senetchko and

Jonathan Sutton, in collaboration with curator Pennylane Shen.

“The name captures the essence of the group’s purpose: to address the fact that Modernist and Postmodern schools of thought virtually ignore the importance of figurative work, effectively banishing it to the back yard,” says a writeup about the event. “With each exhibition, the Phantoms hope to bring figurative work back to its rightful place in the front yard of contemporary art.”

The collective includes members from a broad range of career stages, including both emerging and established artists, and with a wide range of backgrounds.

Abraham began his studies in life drawing and compositional painting at the Ontario College of Art in the 1980s, and he has won numerous awards for his work.

Birnbaum studied at the Victoria College of Art before earning a bachelor’s degree in visual art from

Emily Carr in 2006. Since graduating, he has exhibited in both public and private galleries in Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax, and in 2011 he was a finalist for Canada’s Kingston Prize (regarded as the country’s premiere prize for portraiture).

Hooge draws inspiration from the nostalgia of vintage magazines and children’s books, and her focus is mainly on creating figurative oil paintings and scratchboards.

Morstad was raised in Al-

berta, Saskatchewan and B.C., and his paintings and films are influenced by the landscapes, people, flora and fauna of those places.

Senetchko studied classical animation at Vancouver Film School, where he teaches film, painting and drawing. He was also a finalist for the Kingston Prize in 2011.

Sutton earned a bachelor’s degree in theatre from UBC and worked as an actor, director, writer and producer in theatre and film for more than a decade. His

visual art practice evolved through those media, and he continues to draw on dramatic, literary and narrative influences in his work.

You can see their work at Deer Lake Gallery throughout the exhibition dates from Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 4 p.m.

Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. See www.burnabyarts council.org or call 604-2987322 for information about the show.

City now Burnaby man in the running for SiriusXM Top Comic A Burnaby stand-up comic is looking for your votes to help vault him into the finale of this year’s SiriusXM Top Comic competition.

Kyle Bottom has been named as one of 18 semifinalists in this year’s competition, which has returned for its 10th year. Each of the 18 comics – chosen from 60 hopefuls who auditioned at live events in Vancouver and Toronto in the spring – has an audition video online to help them drum up votes.

The top six vote-getters, plus two chosen wild cards, will earn their way into the finals.

Voting opened Aug. 9 and continues until Aug. 30.

Bottom – who describes himself as a “nerd,” a “jerk” and a “dork” – is no stranger to the competitive world of comedy. His website (www.kylebottom.com) notes he’s been performing comedy since 2005, and his comedic journey has taken him across the country.

He’s performed twice at

The winner will get $25,000, plus guaranteed spots to perform at JFL Sydney in Australia, JFL42 in Toronto, JFL NorthWest in Vancouver and Just For Laughs Montreal, plus inclusion in a JFL TV taping.

AND IN THE MATTER OF an application by Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, on behalf of Trans Mountain Pipeline L.P., (“Trans Mountain”), respecting the determination and approval of the detailed route for the construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, approximately 1179.9 kilometres in length, commencing at Trans Mountain’s Terminal located in Sherwood Park, Alberta to Westridge Marine Terminal located in Burnaby, British Columbia as shown on the adjacent Route Map. If you anticipate that your lands may be adversely affected by the proposed detailed route of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, you may oppose the proposed detailed route by filing a written statement of opposition with the National Energy Board (Board) within thirty (30) days of the publication of this notice. The written statement of opposition must set out the nature of your interest in the proposed detailed route and the grounds for your opposition to that route. In light of the previous detailed route processes that were conducted for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project in 2017 and 2018, the Board will only accept statements of opposition that raise concerns regarding a material change in circumstances from the original detailed route processes. A copy of any written statement of opposition to this detailed route must be sent to the following addresses: National Energy Board Suite 210, 517 Tenth Avenue SW Calgary, Alberta T2R 0A8 Attention: Sheri Young, Secretary of the Board Phone: 403-292-4800 Toll Free Fax: 1-877-288-8803 Email: TMX.ProcessHelp@neb-one.gc.ca Website: www.neb-one.gc.ca And to: Trans Mountain Expansion Project Suite 2700, 300 5th Ave SW, Calgary Alberta T2P 5J2, Attention: Alain Parisé, Director, Land Fax: 403-514-6401 Email: TMEP_Land@transmountain.com

• If a written statement of opposition is filed with the Board within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice, the statement relates to a previous detailed route decision, and the statement raises concerns regarding a material change in circumstances from the original detailed route process, the Board will conduct a review of the previous detailed route decision.

• For detailed route hearings that were in progress on August 30, 2018 and no decision was issued, landowners and Indigenous communities need to register their continued objection by filing a statement of opposition within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice. The Board will then continue the hearing and may add new process steps, as necessary, to address any valid concerns with respect to changed circumstances.

• Landowners and Indigenous communities that did not file a statement of opposition in the previous detailed route process, whose statement of opposition was rejected or that withdrew their statement of opposition prior to a detailed route hearing, may file a new statement of opposition within thirty (30) days following the publication of this notice. If the statement of opposition raises a material change in circumstances, the Board will hold a hearing to consider those concerns, in relation to any section or part of the pipeline affected by the concerns disclosed in the written statement.

The Board is not required to give any notice, hold any hearing or take any other action with respect to any written statement of opposition filed with the Board and may at any time disregard any such written statement if the person who filed the statement files a notice of withdrawal, or if it appears to the Board that the statement is frivolous, vexatious or is not made in good faith.

If the Board determines it appropriate to hold a

public hearing, the Board will fix a suitable time and place for the hearing and will publish a notice of the hearing in at least one issue of a publication in general circulation within the area in which the lands acquired or proposed to be acquired are situated. The Board will also send a notice of the public hearing to each person who has filed a written statement of opposition with the Board.

The public hearing will be conducted within the area in which the lands to which the statement relates are situated. The Board, or a person authorized by the Board, may make such inspection of the lands acquired or proposed to be acquired, or affected by, construction of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, as deemed necessary by the Board.

If the Board determines a public hearing is required, the Board will permit each person who filed a written statement of opposition that met the requirements to make representations and may allow any other interested person to make representations before it as the Board deems proper. The Board will take into account all written statements of opposition and all representations made at the public hearing in determining the best possible route of the pipeline, and the most appropriate methods and timing of construction for the Trans Mountain Expansion. The Board may impose in any approval, such terms and conditions as it considers proper. Where the Board has held a public hearing in respect of any section or part of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, and has approved or refused to approve the plan, profile and book of reference respecting that section or part, it will forward a copy of its decision and reasons to the Minister and each person who made representations to the Board at the public hearing.

The Board may fix such amount as it deems reasonable in respect of the actual costs reasonably incurred by any person who makes representations to the Board at such a public hearing, and the amount so fixed will be paid forthwith to the person

by Trans Mountain.

PUBLIC NOTICE

SEGMENT 5 MAP TO COME

28 THURSDAY August 15, 2019 • BurnabyNOW

City now It’s time to cool it with the the ‘snowplow parenting’ Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Helicopter parents (those who hover and micro-manage out of fear) have been taking a lot of heat over the past few years, but their hovering tendencies have nothing on the newly named parenting label that’s really getting the cold shoulder from onlookers today.

It’s called “snowplow parenting” – a parenting style that is resulting in everything from parents calling employers on behalf of their adult children, to parents risking life in prison to provide the “perfect life” for their kids.

Scrolling through my Twitter feed last month, I came across a stunning synopsis shared by someone whom I follow, who had witnessed some perplexing behaviour in an office space in which she worked.

In a conversation between what appeared to be an editor and a writer, a debate arose over the spelling of the word “hamster.” The

writer, upon being corrected for spelling it “hampster” initiated a heated argument with her boss, insisting that if she wanted to spell the word with a “p” her boss had no right to correct her.

While the editor calmly explained that the correct spelling of the word (according to the dictionary), the writer persisted.

Dumbfounded, the witness watched on as the employee – in a fit of rage – then called her mom and put her on speaker phone.

In a teary tone, she asked her mom how she should bring this up with her boss’s boss, saying, “I mean, I always spell hamster with a P, she has no right to criticize me.”

When the woman who witnessed this scene told a colleague of hers what she had seen, he relayed a story to her about a time when he gave an early 20-something feedback on a writing assignment.

The young man quit the next day and had his parents call to tell him what a terrible boss he was for “correcting work that didn’t

need correcting.”

Unfortunately, I’ve been on the receiving end of this type of behaviour.

On more than one occasion, I’ve received calls from the parents of candidates who were coming in for a job interview.

Young adults who were aspiring employees had their parents call on their behalf to reschedule, provide excuses for arriving late, or cancel the interview altogether.

Not the most impressive way to get a grown-up gig.

According to a recent article in Today’s Parent, a “snowplow parent” is defined as a person who constantly forces obstacles out of their kids’ paths. They have their eye on the future success of their child, and anyone or anything that stands in their way has to be removed.

As the article says: “There is a sense of entitlement to snowplowers: They blame the school when things go wrong and never accept anything less than first place for their child.”

Most parents say they

would do anything for their children, but snowplow parents tend to take things a little too far.

For example, in the case of celebrities like Lori Loughlin (who played Aunt Becky on Full House), and the other wealthy parents who were called out for allegedly using their influence to cheat the competitive college admissions process at American colleges earlier this year.

While they were doing what they could to get their children ahead, their actions led to charges of conspiracy to commit fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering – each charge punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

Experts fear that children of snowplow parents won’t be able to handle failure or solve problems independently.

Kids of snowplow parents may quit something instead of settling for second best.

While you may want to do anything for your child, remember that your child also needs to learn how to do things for themselves –

especially if your actions might land you behind bars.

Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor, and mar-

keting consultant. Find her on Twitter @biancabujan and Instagram @bitsofbee.

Coffee company earns kudos Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby coffee company has bean named one of the top 30 coffee roasters in North America.

Canterbury Coffee had a strong presence at the Golden Bean Awards last year, and now the managing director of the awards put the Burna-beans on a continental shortlist.

“We have always been very careful in rating coffee businesses, as putting a number to one’s achievements can have major effects on that business – both good and bad. We are now more than confident to pick the top 30 businesses that have earned these ratings through a credible system,” wrote Golden Bean’s Sean Edwards in a LinkedIn blog post.

Also on the list was Vancouver neighbour Pallet Coffee Roasters. Just one other B.C.-based bean business made the list: Oughtred Coffee out of

Delta.

In 2018, Canterbury took several bronze medals and a few silvers home from the Golden Bean Awards and was named the “overall large franchise/chain champion.”

“It’s a huge honour winning this award. There are lots of really good roasters out there,” said Canterbury roaster Tim Cole at the time of the awards.

MEETING WITH MINISTER A provincial employment program, property taxes and climate change were all on the table during a recent meeting between the Burnaby Board of Trade and a B.C. cabinet minister.

Bruce Ralston, minister of jobs, trade and technology, met with BBoT president Paul Holden, board chair Andrew Scott, director Vivian Yuen and director of policy Cory Redekop on Aug. 1, and the group talked about a variety of issues important to the business community.

That included the B.C. PNP Tech Pilot, a special immigration program to help the tech, digital and film industries attract more international talent to fill B.C.’s labour shortages.

The program was set to expire in June, but it was extended for another year, after a lobbying effort by the BBoT. “The BBoT applauded the extension and pressed for a longer-term commitment to the program,” reads a write-up on the meeting.

The board also raised “soaring” property tax bills, which BBoT officials say are “threatening the bottom lines” of business around the region.

They pressed for the B.C. government to make changes to B.C. Assessment that would assess not only the potential value of the property but also the current value to offer relief on property tax bills.

City now Old pug field-tests BCIT-designed wheelchair A BCIT research team has created a new device specifically for old dogs weakened by age Elderly canines with osteoarthritis could soon stay mobile with a dog wheelchair developed at BCIT in Burnaby.

The device – currently being field-tested by a 14-year-old pug named Lily – has been specially designed for old dogs weakened by age.

Existing dog wheelchairs are designed with the expectation the mobility-challenged dog has a lot of front strength, as in the case of paralyzed young dogs, according to BCIT. But older dogs don’t have that front strength.

Some manufacturers have tried to address that challenge by adding front supports, but the added weight makes it even more difficulty for a mobility-impaired dog to navigate, according to Ann-Marie Fleming,

Lily’s owner and founder and CEO of Dog Quality.

Fleming, who is based in 100 Mile House, took her problem to BCIT’s MAKE+ team – a group of multidisciplinary BCIT researchers focused on product and process development, evaluation, applied

The team truly understood what we were trying to accomplish ...

research projects and education.

Working with Fleming, the team spent 10 months researching, gathering input from veterinarians and dog owners and creating multiple iterations of a prototype.

The result, the Dog Mo-

bility Device (patent pending), is a highly maneuverable and lightweight dog wheelchair designed to support both front and rear weakness.

“Our design team worked with the client to make this project succeed,” BCIT MAKE+ project leader Nancy Knaggs said in a press release. “The expertise we learned from dog owners and experts in the veterinarian community helped us design a prototype that is one of a kind.”

The device is now being field-tested by Lily, one of three rescue dogs Fleming has taken in.

Lily was born with a malformed vertebra and underwent a complicated surgery a couple years ago to stabilize her spine, according to the Dog Quality website.

Fleming is an advocate for senior dogs, and her company specializes in products – from dog diapers

to dog strollers – designed to improve the quality of life for older canines.

“Working with the BCIT MAKE+ team has been easy from the start to finish,” Fleming said in the release. “The team truly understood what we were

trying to accomplish with this device and took the time to learn about the needs of senior dogs.”

As dogs age, they face many of the same health issues people do, including arthritis, ligament injuries, hip dysplasia and degener-

City now HEALTH

Adventure program offers up a ‘natural high’ Burnaby Centre for Mental Health and Addiction offers outdoor experiences as part of therapy Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

When Chris found himself in the depths of his addiction to crack cocaine, he says he would “isolate” himself.

He’d close all of the doors. Turn off all of the lights. And then he’d sink inside himself.

These days, however, he’s out of the darkness. He’s actually basking in the sunshine of the summer in the wilderness.

Chris (we’re keeping his last name private) has been kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding and more.

And it feels great.

“To be so free in nature and so close to God is surreal,” Chris says.

All of this is possible through the Burnaby Centre for Mental Health and Addiction, which, as part of its nine-month in-patient treatment, has an “adventure program” that takes

clients on trips kayaking, white-water rafting, hiking and more as a form of therapy for their mental health and substance use issues.

The program is run in partnership with a non-profit called Power to Be. The clients sometimes describe it as finding a new “natural high.”

Chris tried to get clean before. He did 12-step programs and went to some Christian-based recovery centres.

“But even with God’s support, I still succumbed to my crack cocaine addiction because it was so extreme,” he says.

“I can tell other people that from my experience, even after three payday loans, anything I could pawn was pawned and the next step you are considering is armed robbery or prostitution in order to fill your impulse to this white demon. I encourage those of you that are hurting to

start to scream that you need help – and don’t stop screaming.

“I guarantee you that someone will listen and eventually give you the help and love that you deserve.

At first, you can’t see any way out, you think nothing will stop your insanity and that there is no hope or a life with happiness at the end of the day. Come to BMHA to get knowledge, medication, friends and love.”

Chris, who has completed his property management diploma while at the Burnaby centre, says the outdoors adventure program is part of the reason why he’s been able to see a life beyond addiction.

It shows him all of life’s possibilities.

And that’s why he’s sharing his story. To help others see a future.

“I hope my story can reach just one person to give that dream of freedom

Great outdoors: Chris says going kayaking and doing other summer adventure activities has helped him see a different future for his life PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

that you will get everything out of life if you just ask for it.”

City now Local parents launch Bikers Against Bullying chapter Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

When Burnaby residents David Toner and Sandie Martins-Toner went online a few months ago looking for a group of like-minded motorcyclists to ride with, they found Bikers Against Bullying.

The international organization is dedicated to combating bullying by empowering kids – and that appealed.

‘BULLYING TO THE EXTREME’ In 2005, the couple’s 16-year-old son, Matthew Martins, was beaten to death at a Surrey SkyTrain station in what Toner described as “a case of bullying to the extreme.”

Vocal victims advocates since their son’s death, the couple was keen to join Bikers Against Bullying but found out the closest chapter was in Kelowna.

A parole hearing in March for their son’s killer clinched their decision to start their own Burnaby-

based chapter, Toner said.

Robert Forslund, now 41, was applying for day parole to attend programs in the community.

During the hearing, he told the parole board about his childhood, how he’d been sexually abused and bullied, according to Toner.

Toner said he and his wife couldn’t help but think how differently things might have ended for their son if someone had been there for Forslund when he was a kid.

“They might have turned him down a different path and this may never have happened,” Toner said.

After the parole hearing, he and his wife set out with new resolve, signing up members for a Burnaby Bikers Against Bullying chapter.

‘WE GO WITH THEM’ The new group marked its official launch last Saturday with a ride to Squamish followed by a barbecue at Trev Deeley Harley Davidson just across the BurnabyVancouver border.

Started in 2009, Albertabased Bikers Against Bullying is dedicated to combating bullying by empowering kids.

One of their methods is to co-ordinate with local schools so members can get together and take bullied kids to school on their motorcycles, escorting them into their classrooms en masse.

It’s meant as a show of solidarity, not force, according to Toner.

“We want to show that this student has support, that they’re not alone,” he said. “Anybody who’s bullied, that’s one of the main comments that they’ll make is that they feel isolated, they feel alone, so we go in with them.”

The fledgling local group hasn’t escorted any kids yet, but Toner said the approach seems to have worked for other groups.

“Anecdotally, we have people who we’ve done this for that say it’s been great,” he said.

The organization also conducts anti-bullying

looking for more.

“We meet with the person who wants to join first to see if they’re getting involved with this for the right reasons and make sure that they’re mature and reliable,” Toner said. “We don’t want to have crazy young kids on their fast bikes who want

seminars in schools, mentors youth at risk who may be engaging in bullying and raises funds to support youth, sending them to camps, etc.

The Burnaby chapter, which will serve the whole Lower Mainland, currently has six members and is

to do wheelies down the street. That’s not what we’re about.”

And everyone who joins has to go through a criminal background check, he said.

Build it and they will come.

That famous axiom – from the film Field of Dreams – wasn’t spoken Monday, but it certainly would apply as leaders gathered at the Burnaby Tennis Club to announce the next phase in the construction of the Western Canada Tennis Training Centre.

With the sport experiencing a boon as young talent like Bianca Andreescu, Milos Raonic, Eugenie Bouchard and Felix Auger-Aliassime find success, now’s the time to expand the current vision.

Tennis Canada president and CEO Michael Downey, Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley and Burnaby Tennis Club president George McLachrie were on hand, joined by pro players Rebecca Marino – ranked 181st on the women’s pro tour – and Bouchard (114th), as Tennis Canada and the City of Burnaby basked in the joint project which will see the current Burnaby Lake club increase to 24 courts, including at least 12 covered surfaces.

The prospect of seeing a national junior training centre and Canada’s wheelchair tennis centre come to fruition, with construction expected to begin in 2021, was something to celebrate, Downey said.

“It’s been a great process, working with the City of Burnaby has been really easy,” Downey told the NOW. “They’ve been unbelievably cooperative. They see the power of a national centre here in Burnaby at this location, and they know this is going to benefit kids who are playing here.

“It’s going to benefit wheelchair athletes, and it’s going to benefit high performance (players). It’s going to benefit the full spectrum of people who love tennis.”

Discussions between the city and Tennis Canada first began in 2016, with the Central Valley site offering a perfect complement to national training centres in Montreal and Toronto.

Downey said the organization’s contribution of $750,000 towards site preparation – part of an overall commitment of $6 million – has moved the ball forward.

The city’s contribution, which includes a lease agreement and off-site services like water, sewer, power and road upgrades to the area, is budgeted at approximately $6.5 million.

Downey noted the centre will be unique in that it will be community oriented but also serve the national elite development side.

“It will not be a private club. This will be a community club that is community first. Our first purpose is to give the great citizens of Burnaby the opportunity to play tennis year-round, because we’ll have a lot of covered courts, but also play on clay or hard court,” he said.

Moscrop duo set for next challenge Volleyball teammates head in different directions, but bonded by the game Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Forces on the court, the Moscrop Secondary pair of Fiona Chen and Alana Leung are powerful allies off it.

Now the two may be going their separate ways on new amazing journeys, but the battles they’ve shared and the sport they love will be a great thread to connect them despite a distance of 3,540 kilometres.

The two high school grads will take the next step as adults, with Chen continuing her studies and sports at the University of B.C., while Leung heads to the University of Ottawa with the same pursuits.

Volleyball will be a great unifier but will also be where the duo face new challenges as they debut on the university court.

“I’m going to have to work my butt off to try and match the fifth years that are going to be on the other side of the net,” notes Leung. “Once you hit university the age range goes up – you’re playing with people who are (as much as) five years older and five years more experienced.”

For Chen, the game is where she put on her game face. But she wasn’t certain it would continue after receiving her Dogwood.

“For the most part I didn’t ex-

pect myself to get to post-secondary (in volleyball), that volleyball was just going to be a high school thing, and then I’d focus on school. I hadn’t thought about playing past postsecondary,” she says.

Then UBC came calling.

Chen has since learned that, while there is going to be a major learning curve, playing for the Thunderbirds was what she wanted to pursue.

The middle blocking duo were primary contributors to Moscrop’s Lower Mainland championship win last fall, culminating in a fourth-place showing at the B.C. 4-A provincials.

As a Team B.C. member in 2018, Chen says that experience gave her a valuable taste of what the next level will be like.

“I actually didn’t expect myself to make it because during the trials there were so many talented and amazing girls,” she recalls. “I felt pretty fortunate just to make it. The experience was phenomenal, the coach was really nice and taught the whole team how to improve and play the game better.”

Chen chose the Point Grey campus for both its educational opportunity – she will major in land and food systems sciences – and sports. She also liked the idea of staying close to home.

For Leung, spreading her

wings was one of the attractions of heading east. It was the Ottawa program that won her over.

A recruiting visit last March, where she met the team and saw the campus, ended with Leung discovering a spot where she felt both comfortable and excited by the challenges ahead.

“The player-fit was really good, I feel like I fit in fantastic there. The campus is beautiful, it’s like right next to downtown Ottawa. If we ignore the winters I think I’m going to have a great time there,” says Leung.

A brand new engineering building, where she aims to spend a lot of her non-volleyball time as a civil engineering student, was icing on the cake.

The past few months have given her a sharp foundation on how to make the transition, with her earning a big role on Team B.C. and playing at the Canada Cup last month in Halifax.

“Team B.C. is so much fun because you’re training with really high-level athletes and everyone is really invested in the sport, so it’s really cool to have everyone buy in like that.”

B.C. would go on to place third at the tournament.

Kim Or, who coached both at club and Moscrop, says Chen and Leung were terrific teammates who always put the group first.

“I can honestly tell you that the girls really enjoy the journey and process more that the championship itself,” Or says. “You probably know that we never really celebrate much or go overboard when we win.”

With Apex Club, the pair were part of a u16 national title and brought home silver at this past spring’s u18 championship.

Leung’s beginnings in the sport came later than most.

A dedicated dancer growing up, she picked up volleyball in Grade 9 at Alpha Secondary.

“Before volleyball I thought dance was the way for me,” she says. “I was ready to buy into that, but then volleyball came along. One season I did it and that was it for me, volleyball became my sport. Before that, I hadn’t really been in any highlevel sports.”

Chen said her time with her Apex and Moscrop teammates was where she learned to love the game.

“Teamwork was so important.

Teamwork, resilience and grit,” she says.

If fortune smiles down on them, they may get to meet someday soon at the U Sports volleyball nationals.

“I’d love to see that happen.

We’ve been talking about that too. I think that would be hilarious,” says Leung.

Sportsnow ATHLETICS

STM athletes medal St. Thomas More student-athlete Katelyn Stewart-Barnett added to what has been a terrific summer with a gold-medal performance at the Legion national youth track and field championships in Cape Breton last week.

As a member of Team B.C., Stewart-Barnett captured the under-18 women’s 2000-metre steeplechase title at the annual meet, posting a winning time of 6:51.47. She was more than six-and-a-half seconds faster than Jenna McFadyen of Saskatchewan.

A member of the Royal City Track and Field Club, Stewart-Barnett also represented B.C. in the high jump, where she finished sixth.

Former Burnaby Striders’ runner Jaeland Cummings collected gold in both the u16 girls 100- and 200m dash events, winning with a time of 12.55 seconds. The Notre Dame Regional student picked up her second gold by finishing in 25.34.

Cummings also collected a bronze in the 300m race, and joined up to compete in the u18 4x100 relay, placing sixth.

Michelle Dadson cashed in for silver in the u18 shotput, hitting a distance of 14.95m. An STM studentathlete, Dadson would place fifth in the discus.

In the u18 girls’ hammerthrow, Zuzanna Liniewski, a Burnaby North studentathlete with the Royal City club, reached a distance of 41.98m.

Burnaby to be new inclusive tennis hub Wheelchair tennis to get national centre Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The announcement on Monday that plans are on schedule regarding the creation of the Western Canada Tennis Training Centre in Burnaby, was welcomed by many.

The officials at the event spoke of the many benefits the centre will bring, with the citizens of Burnaby among the big winners.

Another group thrilled to see the proposal continue are wheelchair tennis proponents, who will see the emergence of a work space to call their own. One of the projected tenants of the centre will be the national wheelchair tennis program, alongside a western Canada junior tennis training centre.

For Kai Schrameyer, having space dedicated to wheelchair tennis and the national program can only be a boon for the competitive and recreational player alike.

“As far as (wheelchair) tennis is concerned, this will be the first (national centre),” said Schrameyer.

“It’s super. It’s clearly a pilot project and I’m hoping there will be others to follow – his will set the standard.

“B.C. is already a hotbed for wheelchair tennis, and players from

other provinces who want to expand and improve on their game will want to move to the Lower Mainland.”

Schrameyer, a three-time Paralympian medallist for his native Germany who recently received his Canadian citizenship, is the national team coach. Seeing his sport included in a major project like the Burnaby centre is something that should pay dividends down the road.

“It’s only been around for 40 years, which in comparison to ablebodied tennis is a short time, and it’s growing,” he said. “There are about 150, 160 players in Canada, there are tournaments year-round (and) some are professionals, so it’s a healthy development.”

Tennis Canada president Michael Downey believes a focal point for players to come and work together, just as the Western Canada junior component, will enhance an already strong climate for the sport.

“We’ve had a good history in wheelchair tennis, but a centre like this is going to give those great athletes an opportunity to really excel on the global scene, (to) win grand slams or win Paralympic medals, and that’s what we want to see as well,” said Downey.

The facility, with construction slated to begin in 2021, will increase the current Burnaby Tennis Club site to 24 courts, including 12 indoor courts. Despite the warmest climate of Canada, Vancouver is still unfriendly to the sport’s players for more than 184 days per year through rain and snow.

And while the view that wheelchair tennis will have it’s own place at the centre, Schrameyer points out

that having all the components in one large, united site will be beneficial for everyone.

“These guys can play amongst themselves but they could also (play) with able-bodied players,” he said. “I could put Genie (Bouchard) and Rebecca (Marino) on the court with these guys and they could hit balls. It’s a great project all around for integration for people of disabilities.”

Looking for a new home? Start here.

Home sales across B.C. up 12.4% from last year With home sales making a significant year-over-year jump in the Lower Mainland in July, residential transactions for the whole of B.C. followed suit, according to stats released August 13 by the B.C. Real Estate Association (BCREA).

There were 7,930 home sales in the province last month, which is 12.4 per cent higher than July 2018, recovering around half the annual transaction losses seen one year ago. Most of the provincial increase was driven by the spike in sales in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

“B.C. home sales climbed higher for the first time in 18 months on a year-over-year basis in July,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA’s chief economist. “Households appear to be adjusting to the tighter credit environment as the shock of the B20 stress test dissipates.”

The association also reported that housing demand has “trended higher since March, rising 21 per cent on a seasonally adjusted basis.”

With absorption increasing, active listings on the province’s MLS fell on a month-over-month in July, down three per cent from June and six per cent from April on a seasonally adjusted basis.

However, active listings were still 12.4 per cent higher than this time last year. The sales-to-active listings ratio matched that of a year ago, with a balanced market at 19.1 per cent.

The average residential resale price in the province in July was $684,497, which is a decline of 1.6 per cent from July 2018. However, this could be a reflection of higher sales among homes at the lower-priced end of the market, rather than necessarily falling home prices.

Combined with the rise in sales, this took total sales dollar volume in July to $5.43 billion, which is a 10.5 per cent increase from the same month last year.

REGIONAL DIFFERENCES As ever, the picture varies when focusing in on different regional markets. Three of the 12 B.C. real estate boards Half of the boards reported a year-over-year rise in average sale prices (Vancouver Island, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Kootenay, South Okanagan and Northern Lights) – although some of those markets are small enough to have wide fluctuations in sale and price percentages each month. The biggest annual jump in average sale price was seen in the small regional board of Northern Lights, where the average sale price was up 14 per cent year over year.

The three boards to cite the largest annual price declines were Powell River (down 20.5 per cent but another small market with wide changes), Victoria (down 7.7 per cent) and the Fraser Valley (down 6.9 per cent).

Even the booming market of B.C. Northern saw prices flat with last year, and sales up a meagre four per cent.

Most regions reported a sales-to-active-listings ratio in the 12-20 per cent balanced-market range, with Vancouver Island, Victoria, Kamloops and Powell River in seller’s market territory, and only Northern Lights seeing a true buyer’s market.

The increase in home sales comes as interest rates on five-year fixed mortgages fell, with rates as low as 2.39 per cent now available, according to RateHub.ca. The Bank of Canada has also reduced the rate at which mortgage applicants have to qualify, giving buyers across Canada more purchasing power.
