Candidate unreachable after months of requests Kelvin Gawley

Heather Leung, the Conservative Party candidate in Burnaby North-Seymour, appears to be missing in action – or, at least, missing in media.

Leung has not responded to multiple interview re-

quests in recent months from both the North Shore News and the Burnaby NOW, starting before she was confirmed as her party’s candidate in May. A reporter for TV channel CPAC told the NOW she was unable to contact Leung. A recent Global News report also indicated

Leung did not respond to an interview request.

A Google search of news articles does not reveal any stories in which Leung has been quoted since becoming a federal candidate.

The organizers of two upcoming all-candidates meetings in the riding have both said Leung has not re-

Matt McDonald, director of external relations for Simon Fraser University’s Graduate Student Society, said Leung’s campaign did not respond to several invitations to an Oct. 3 debate he is helping organize.

Brar ready to take on Singh

Events set up to hear from the candidates in Burnaby

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Want to hear what your wannabe MPs have to offer, straight from the source?

There are several all-candidates meetings planned in Burnaby’s two main electoral districts ahead of the Oct. 21 federal election.

Kelvin Gawley

The Liberals have nominated their third Burnaby South candidate in eight months, tapping businesswoman Neelam Brar to challenge NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh in the Oct. 21 federal election.

She follows Karen Wang, who dropped out of the Feb. 25 byelection over controversial social media posts, and Richard Lee, who came second in that race and originally planned to run again this fall but changed his plans when his wife was diagnosed with a serious illness.

Brar has advised corporations in NewYork, Hong Kong, Singapore and India on investment strategy and later focused her career on helping smaller tech startups with a focus on women and people of colour.

“I started advocating very heavily for diversity in businesses, both from women and a minority standpoint, because, far too often, in the first days in my career with the large corporations, I was the only woman or the only minority in the room,” she said. “And I feel that, if we’re going to change that, we can have a huge impact with emerging companies on the ground.”

Brar also started her own business, District Cowork, in NewYork. She sold the “innovation centre” last summer and moved back to

the Lower Mainland.

Despite her successes in the business world, the Burnaby South native decided it was time to come home and throw her hat in the political ring.

“I believe the true impact you can have in the world is by helping the citizens of a country and Burnaby actually gave me the foundation to become successful and to believe in myself and how to reach for the stars,” she said.

“I wanted to come back and serve this amazing community and offer the same support and infrastructure for everybody in the community to prosper.”

She said the number one issue this election is the

economy, followed by housing and the environment.

During the byelection, Singh put housing at the centre of his campaign, often criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government for making big promises to improve affordability without following through with funding.

Brar, however, cited the Liberals’ first-time homebuyers’ incentive, a shared equity program meant to ease monthly mortgage payments, “which I think everyone needs to be taking advantage of if they have not purchased a home,” she said.

“Having that first asset in your family or individually

is critical because it provides stability as you go on and build your life.”

Singh won the byelection earlier this year with relative ease, besting Lee by more than 12 percentage points, but Brar said she’s up for the challenge.

“I believe it’s not going to be easy but, that said, there are a number of differences that I bring to the table, and I believe that that will really count in this election.

I am a native of Burnaby, first of all, and I understand what the community needs to succeed, having grown up there,” she said. Singh is from Ontario but began renting a home in the riding ahead of the byelection.

Pipeline debate What: BROKE (Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion) will host a debate, moderated

by SFU professor Tim Takaro, on “pipelines, climate change and our future.”

When: Friday, Oct. 4.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., with the debate running from 7 to 9 p.m.

Where: Confederation Seniors Centre at 4585 Albert St. Who: Liberal Terry Beech, New Democrat Svend Robinson, Green Amita Kuttner and the People’s Party’s Rocky Dong have all confirmed their attendance. Conservative Heather Leung has not responded to organizers or the NOW. Student issues debate What: Simon Fraser University’s student societies are hosting a student-focused debate.The event will be free, but entrance will require a ticket obtained online (a link will be provided here when available).

When:Thursday, Oct. 3.

5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Where: Lecture hall C9001 at SFU’s Burnaby Mountain campus.

Who: Liberal Terry Beech, New Democrat Svend Robinson, Green Amita Kuttner have all confirmed attendance.The People’s Party has not been invited (organizers said they only invited party’s polling above five per cent). Conservative Heather Leung has not responded to organizers or the NOW. BURNABY SOUTH Climate crisis debate What: Event organized by an unaffiliated group of citizens.

When:Thursday, Sept.

26. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., debate from 7 to 8:30 p.m., followed by a meet and greet from 8:30 to 9 p.m.

Where: Burnaby Neighbourhood House Community Hall, 5024 Rumble St. Who: Green Brennan Wauters, Liberal Neelam Brar and Al Rawdah of the People’s Party have confirmed their attendance.

New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian will represent Burnaby South incumbent MP and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, who will be unable to attend while running a national campaign.

Conservative Jay Shin has yet to confirm his attendance, saying he is reviewing his schedule.

Mercer upset by fake endorsement

Conservatives say Leung ‘door knocking’

Canadian comedy and social commentary legend Rick Mercer is upset at the Conservative Party of Canada over a fake endorsement posted on the Facebook page of the Burnaby North-Seymour Conservative Constituency Association.The candidate for the riding is Heather Leung.

“Dear @AndrewScheer & good folks at @CPC_hq –Your candidate in Burnaby North Seymour is distributing a Meme on social media with my face and the words ‘Vote Conservative’ indicating it is a quote from me. Not true. All fake.

Please Stop. #WhoAreThesePeople? …. #yuck.”

Elections Canada said, “there is no prohibition in the Canada Elections Act with respect to false or misleading statements about endorsements.”

Continued from page 1

Memes the word: The fake endorsement. PHOTO SCREENSHOT

The NOW replied, asking to speak with Leung, noting she had yet to respond to multiple interview requests.

The NOW also informed the Conservatives it intended to write a story about her lack of response.

Swan responded the same day: “Unfortunately, Heather Leung is unavailable today as she is out door knocking, but I am happy to have another Burnaby candidate talk to you about the Conservatives kicking off our campaign today.”

The NOW said it didn’t have to speak to her that day, but repeated its request to interview Leung by phone when she was available. Swan did not respond.

On Monday, Sept. 16, the NOW repeated the request, to which Swan re-

Low profile: Burnaby NorthSeymour candidate Heather Leung. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

sponded: “Heather is staying very focused on door knocking during the campaign and looking forward to connecting with voters at the doors.”

The NOW repeated the request, again informed Swan it intended to publish a story about its many unanswered requests and

asked whether Leung was deliberately avoiding interviews as a campaign tactic.

The Conservative spokesperson did not respond.

Leung is an occupational therapist who has previously run unsuccessfully for school board and council in Burnaby.

In the past, she has been vocally against educational programs about sexual orientation and gender identity and has told an anti-abortion group she would vote “in favour of a law to protect all unborn children.”

The Conservative is running to unseat Liberal MP Terry Beech.

Also running in the riding is the NDP’s Svend Robinson, the Greens’ Amita Kuttner and Rocky Dong of the People’s Party.

The federal election is Oct. 21.

Citynow Burnaby man admits to pulling off crime spree A Burnaby man has admitted to pulling off a string of burglaries around the Lower Mainland late last year.

Gordon Vincent Gladstone, 43, was charged in March with 12 break-ins in

Vancouver, North Vancouver, Surrey and Delta between September 2018 and January 2019.

He had targeted small businesses that were closed for the night, according to North Vancouver RCMP,

who recommended the charges after following a trail of evidence that led to the serial burglar.

Cooperation and information sharing between RCMP and municipal agencies like Vancouver Po-

lice and Delta Police were important in the case, according to North Van RCMP Sgt. Peter DeVries.

“We’ve known for a long time that we have to work together to solve inter-jurisdictional crime.This shows

we are,” said DeVries in a March press release after the charges against Gladstone were approved.

Inquest set into police-involved shooting B.C.’s Coroners Service has opened an inquest into the deaths of two men killed in a police-involved shooting in Burnaby in 2015.

Matthew Charles Miles, 47, and Kenneth Robert Hanna, 48, died in a home in the 3800 block of Frances Street in the city’s northwest.

Members of the Burnaby RCMP and other departments responded to a reported shooting and attempted to communicate with Hanna, who refused to cooperate, according to police statements in 2015.

Officers entered the residence, shots were fired and Hanna sustained multiple gunshot wounds, police said. He died at the scene.

Miles was found dead in-

side the home. At the time, police said they believed he was the victim of the initial shooting.

The Burnaby Coroners’ Court will hear the case on Oct. 28.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Lower Mainland drivers getting hosed at the pump

The recent report from the B.C. Utilities Commission about pain at the gas pump appears to confirm what Lower Mainland drivers have known all along: they are getting hosed.

The report found gas prices in Greater Vancouver idling at 13-cents-a-litre more than could be expected under a normally competitive market.That difference – estimated to cost us about $490 million annually – “cannot be explained by economic theory or justified by known factors in the

market,” according to the report.

“We know, and one of the reasons for calling for this inquiry was that too often people feel that they’ve been ripped off when they fill up at the gas station,” said Bruce Ralston, the minister of jobs, trade and technology, following the release of the BCUC’s final report. “And they’re right.

(This) report from the utilities commission shows that there’s significant evidence that support people’s view that price gouging exists in

the market.”

The high gas prices aren’t caused by taxes (already taken into account in the BCUC number crunching) or pipeline capacity.

Rather, they appear to have everything to do with the fact that the market is tightly controlled by a handful of companies.While the report states there is no evidence of “collusion,” it also suggests prices might be “tacitly choreographed” – the difference between those likely being lost on people unhappily surprised when

prices all jump 10 cents a litre.

“Prices move up and down in a manner that gives the appearance of a functioning competitive market, but it is also possible this pricing behaviour is tacitly choreographed such that there are numerous price changes throughout the day,” read the report.

So why are prices higher in Metro Vancouver than they are in many other places?

Essentially, because they can be.

It’s hard to see what’s happening at the pump as the result of a truly free market.

That being the case, one option for the government is to intervene with regulation.

Price caps and requirements for greater transparency are possibilities – measures that are already in place in other parts of both Canada and the U.S. Why should the province motor along and get blamed for that 13-cent price gouge, when it appears to benefit no one but the bottom line

of big oil companies?

The public and industry have been given time to respond to the report. In the meantime, we suggest people find a way to deal with high gas prices in a way that’s different than shaking their fists.

Get out of your vehicles.

Ride a bike.Take transit.We have a pretty good transit system here, and the more you use it, the better it is for the environment. And even if gas prices drop, we encourage you to still get on transit if you can.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Minister facing her toughest test The economic wave the BC NDP government has been riding since coming to power two years ago looks like it’s about to hit the beach.

The bad news is outlined in the government’s first quarterly report of the current fiscal year. It’s not so much about what is going on now but what is coming.

Finance Minister Carole James has slashed her ministry’s forecast of economic growth in the current year by almost one-third.

Next year is not expected to be much better: just 1.9 percent, down from the original forecast of 2.3 per cent.

James has preferred to take the “glass is full” approach, stressing the budget is headed to a surplus this year and next year, and even with slumping numbers, B.C.’s economy is still outperforming other provinces.

But retail sales have flatlined so far this year. B.C.’s economy also heavily relies on the exports of commodities, and those are down three per cent.

The real estate sector has driven the provincial economy for years, and it is turning into a disaster area. Home sales are down 16 per cent, and property transfer tax revenues – which until recently were approaching the $2-billion level – are down almost a half-billion dollars already.

Then there is the forest industry, which is the local economy for many communities outside of Metro Vancouver. So far, 6,000 forestry workers have either been laid off or sitting idle as

their mills are shut down for weeks at a time.

The running count is 25 mill shutdowns or closures, affecting 22 communities.

Despite this crisis, the NDP’s three-year fiscal plan still lists forest revenues as a $1.1-billion annual revenue stream.This year, revenues are running ahead of forecast, but only because of some higher logging taxes.This does not seem sustainable.

With the economic slowdown, a number of other taxes – property, carbon, tobacco and fuel – are down this year as well, and the decrease will likely even be greater next year.

Then there is ICBC.The government is sticking to its prediction that ICBC’s $1.18-billion deficit will all but disappear this year.

Politically, the timing for all this economic disruption on the horizon could not be worse for the NDP. By the time the New Democrats test the electorate again, likely in the fall of 2021, voters will have gone through almost two years of economic stagnation or deterioration.Whether it is bad enough for them to sour on the NDP remains to be seen.

On paper, the NDP is still forecasting balanced budgets for the next years.

James has baked into her budget huge forecast “allowances” and contingency funds that should be enough of a buffer against tipping into deficits.

But the good times are clearly over for a while.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Old school gets a major facelift

After sitting empty for eight years, the oldest surviving public education building in the city got a new $1.4-million facelift and was looking for a new tenant.The city acquired the 1913 Kingsway East School at 6650 Southoaks Cres. in the early 1990s in a land exchange with the school district.

Originally built to be the auditorium and gym for the city’s first high school, it was first used as Kingsway East Elementary School. Burnaby South High School opened in 1922.

Renamed the Alan Emmott Centre after a former Burnaby mayor, it is now a city rental venue.

Permanent daylight saving time a bad idea

Editor: Do you know what time the sun rises on Dec. 21 in a permanent daylight saving time world – 9:05 a.m.

Think about it, I cycle to work year-round, but now in winter the sun won’t rise until long after I have started work. But worse, the roads will be icy longer – and may not have warmed enough as there are less daylight hours to warm up the road before home time. There goes my winter cycling.

Now I’ll have to contribute to passenger or car congestion on our overcrowded transit infrastructure.

If you translate that to people who drive to work, you are guaranteeing they will be driving on icy roads in the winter for their morning commute.

More ice, more accidents.

I wonder how long permanent daylight saving time will last before people realize it is significantly more depressing and dangerous to be commuting in the morning dark than the evening twilight?

Sally Gillies, Burnaby

Too many big oil puppets Editor: Remember Justin Trudeau’s “governments grant permits, but only communities grant permission”? I sure do.

My community (Burnaby) back in 2015 told the bogus National Energy Board overwhelmingly that we don’t grant permission.

Since then, the UN IPCC have stated that we have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophe

(it’s now only 11 years), yet the Liberals continue to attempt to force the planet-destroying TMX pipeline on us – to the ludicrous extent of actually buying and overpaying for it while obviously ignoring climate science, Indigenous rights, community opposition and plain common sense.

They have idly watched while the RCMP have arrested hundreds of protectors, including Elizabeth May, Kennedy Stewart, Jean Swanson, Indigenous leaders and university professors – all people who were attempting to do what the big-oil lackey Liberals have failed to do – protect people and the planet.

They declared a climate emergency and then the very next day approved an oil sands expanding pipeline. Stunningly stupid and beyond contempt.

Screeching must stop Editor: Having always been a fan of SkyTrain I was horrified when I travelled westbound past Royal Oak. The screeching of the wheels on the track became unbearably loud.

There are homes just metres away from the tracks. I can only imagine how their quality of life has suffered due to SkyTrain. For these citizens, it must be like a jumbo jet flying 100 feet over their homes, every three minutes.

SkyTrain is not supposed make anyone’s life a living hell. TransLink needs to take this seriously or they’ll face lawsuits, bad publicity and hardened opposition to any further expansion.

Citynow TRIBUNAL

Sikh builder accuses city of discrimination Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Lower Mainland home builder has filed a human rights complaint against the City of Burnaby, saying the city discriminated against him because of his race, colour and religion.

Gurinder Mangat, an observant Sikh born in India, has built homes in Burnaby for 14 years and works as a qualified building inspector in another Lower Mainland municipality, according to his filings with the tribunal.

He says he has applied for 10 different bylaw-enforcement-related positions with the city since 2016 but has never gotten so much as an interview for any of them, despite being qualified.

“Mr. Mangat alleges in the context of each application that he was qualified for the job, was barred from proceeding in the competition at the application stage

Complaint filed: Burnaby City Hall. PHOTO NOW FILES

without explanation, and the jobs were awarded to less qualified white people,” stated tribunal registrar Steven Adamson in a ruling last month.

Adamson accepted the complaint for filing, ruling it had been filed in time and Mangat had provided a case that could be argued in front to the tribunal.

“Of course, these allegations are unproven at this time and are disputed in

their entirety by the city who claims it did not discriminate,” Adamson noted.

The City of Burnaby declined to comment on the complaint.

“The City of Burnaby takes its rights and responsibilities seriously; however, this is a confidential employee relations matter, and the city is unable to comment at this time,” stated an email from communications manager Chris Bryan.

PIPELINE

Environmentalists ID TMX ‘hot spots’ Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Within hours of the 2019 federal election officially kicking off, an environmental group pushed to put the Trans Mountain expansion project front and centre.

In a report released Wednesday, Stand.earth identified seven “troubling hot spots” along the pipeline’s proposed route, three of which are found in its terminus city, Burnaby: the Westridge marine terminal, Burnaby Mountain tank farm and a tunnel the company plans to bore through the mountain to connect the two.

Expanding theWestridge terminal would not only in-

crease tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet seven-fold, it would obstruct a third of the waterway, the report stated.

“This narrow corridor – along with the hundreds of other watercrafts in Burrard Inlet – significantly heighten the risk of a collision and, in turn, an oil spill,” states the report.

A tanker could also collide with the Second Narrows Bridge or the nearby Canadian National Railway bridge, according to Stand. earth, citing a report from the Concerned Professional Engineers – an independent group of registered professional engineers who have banded together to raise concerns about pipeline projects.

The planned doubling of tanks on Burnaby Mountain would increase the risk of a major fire that would be near impossible for firefighters to extinguish, forcing them to wait “days or weeks” for it to burn out, said Tzeporah Berman, Stand.earth’s international program director.

The City of Burnaby and Burnaby Fire Department have previously raised concerns about Trans Mountain’s emergency preparedness plans for such a fire.

Trans Mountain, a Crown corporation since the project was purchased by the federal government in 2018, declined to determine conclusively whether there are fault lines in Burnaby

Mountain, where it plans to bore a 2.6-kilometre tunnel.

A 2013 report found no evidence of fault lines but did not rule out the possibility and recommended further study, “a recommendation that the company denied,” says Stand.earth.

In a statement,Trans Mountain did not directly address the specific issues raised by Stand.earth but said it has addressed all issues associated with the expansion project.

“After seven years of consultation, design, studies and planning, we are confident we have considered, addressed and effectively mitigated the concerns and risks raised in this report,” a spokesperson wrote.

Court sends pipeline project back to province B.C.’s environmental approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline must return to the provincial government for reconsideration as a result of changes in conditions that led to the approv-

al certificate being granted, B.C.’s court of appeal ruled Sept. 17.

And, said B.C Environment Minister George Heyman,Victoria will not use the two rulings to halt the

pipeline despite campaign promises to “use every tool in our toolbox to stop the project from going ahead.”

Rather, he said, the province will review the rulings to determine how to move

Communitynow MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Retired nurse found healing at Burn Camp Lois Budd saw transformations for campers and staff in her years as ‘camp mom’ and ‘fuzziotherapist’ Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Retired Burnaby nurse Lois Budd had decades of experience caring for kids burned by fire before she first volunteered at Burn Camp when she was 50 years old.

As a nurse and then manager at Vancouver General Hospital’s burn unit, she had witnessed up close the devastating physical and psychological damage fire can inflict.

“It’s a horrific injury,” she says.

TRAUMATIC JOB When hiring nurses for the unit, she says she always looked for people who were resilient and able to take

care of themselves as well as their patients.

“You can end up being traumatized yourself,” Budd says. “Watching someone in pain and not being able to always control it; having to inflict pain when you do treatments; listening to people’s stories and helping them get through it, especially if they start having post-traumatic symptoms; losing patients; having patients who don’t do well – all of those things can be very traumatizing.”

In 2000, at Burn Camp, however, Budd discovered an antidote – vicarious heal-

ing to soothe the vicarious hurt.

The weeklong summer camp at the Cheakamus Centre near Squamish gives young burn survivors a chance to swim, hike, kayak, raft, waterski and bond with other kids who’ve lived through the same trauma and carry the same scars.

It’s great for the kids, but it’s also good for those whose regular job it is to deal with the injuries at their worst, not knowing what the outcome will be.

“To be able to go and spend time with burn survivors that you’re seeing healthy and well again and doing well and having fun, it’s indescribable,” Budd says. “I find it’s the same for the firefighters too, that they come full circle.”

‘CAMP MOM’ Budd has volunteered at Burn Camp for nearly 20 years, first as a counsellor, then as camp nurse and finally as the medical director on the camp committee.

Along the way, she’s also earned titles like “camp mom” and “camp fuzziotherapist,” from her practice of prescribing stuffies to campers suffering everything from skinned knees to homesickness.

After two decades, Budd retired from her work at the camp this summer.

She says she has too many favourite memories to pick just one, but she’s grateful for the transformations she’s been privileged to witness.

“I’ve seen some incredible turnarounds in children that are having a hard time, because some of them get bullied at school, especial-

ly if they have facial burns, and some of them feel isolated,” Budd says. “I remember one mother phoning and saying, ‘What did you do to my son? Because I have a stranger that came home to me. He’s so happy and outgoing and cheerful.’”

Without the camp, most young burn survivors might never meet another survivor, Budd says.

Once a year at Cheakamus, though, they’re just one of the gang, and many make lifelong friendships that support them throughout the year.

“It is very healing for them,” Budd says.

Budd’s contributions to Burn Camp were recognized this summer at the 26th annual camp, attended by more than 1,000 young burn survivors aged six to 18.

The camp is free for kids, with the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund covering the cost of travel, accommodation and the running of the camp. (The total comes to about $2,900 per camper.)

The Burnaby firefighters’ union, Local 323, pitched in $21,000 this year.

And firefighters also volunteer as counsellors.

Burnaby acting Lt. Jodi Kabernick has gone for

the past 12 years, spending 10 summers as a counsellor and three on the camp committee.

I’ve seen some incredible turnarounds in children that are having a hard time.

Kabernick says Budd will be missed.

“She’s amazing. She’s

dedicated. She’s loving. She is a very special person,” she said. “She would make up goodie bags for every kid at camp, and she did it on her own. It’s amazing.Who does that for over 20 years?”

Like Budd, Kabernick says Burn Camp is a place unlike any other.

“The kids draw you back every year,” she said. “I feel that I take more away from camp than I give at camp.

It’s a special place.”

Communitynow Reports of teaching assistants cheating untrue: SFU Bulletin claiming SFU was investigating a group of teaching assistants was circulating onWeChat Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A bulletin that announced SFU is investigating a cabal of teaching assistants who have made “huge profits” by leaking exam contents and inflating students’ grades is fake news,

according to the university.

A photo of the bulletin – purporting to be from SFU’s student conduct office – began circulating on social media, including the Chinese language app WeChat, earlier in September.

It stated an investigation had been launched into a

group of TAs calling themselves TA Alliance.

It said the group has been at work for the past three or four semesters – mostly in the departments of economics, business, statistics and linguistics – and helped hundreds of students cheat to get better grades.

The notice, dated Sept. 6, said the perpetrators would be “expelled and prosecuted

by SFU” and students who paid the group to get better grades would be “held accountable.”

The notice urged students to “stay clear of TA Alliance or any kind of academic dishonesty.”

The phone number listed at the bottom belongs to the student conduct of-

fice, but the staff member who picked up there said she knew nothing about the matter.

In an emailed statement Monday afternoon, SFU communications director Angela Wilson said the bulletin was a fake.

“These notices have been removed and we have notified SFU student groups and stakeholders of these fraudulent posters as well as

campus public safety,” she said. “Producing fraudulent documents is a serious matter and we are very concerned about this incident, as well as the claims within the document.We are investigating this matter, and anyone with information should contact SFU campus public safety.”

FALL SAVINGS AT OLD ORCHARD CENTRE

Schou school will be saved, and this alumna is thrilled Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

When 90-year-old former Schou Street School student Betty Gould drove west on Canada Way in Burnaby recently, she was dismayed to see her alma mater boarded up behind construction fencing.

“I was just so shocked.

I’d heard they were going to knock it down, and my brother Bill and I were going to lay in front of the bulldozers,” she told the NOW. Gould, nee Diack, grew up near the school at 4041 Canada Way, and the old building is the last remaining landmark to remind her of her old neighbourhood, wiped out by the construction of Highway 1 in 1958.

“It’s always meant a lot to me.That whole neighbourhood was a great area to grow up,” she said. “It was just a super area for kids.We had a lovely walk to school.We had to walk from Clydesdale Street, and we

had a lovely trail that went from the back of our yard all the way through the bush there by the creek.”

Nine of the 13 Diack kids went to Schou.

Gould started there in 1935, when she was six, and when there was still a cupola on the roof and the school’s exterior was covered in wooden siding, not stucco. She loved the school’s distinctive front porch, she said, and remembers teachers taking their classes onto the big fire escapes on the north side of the building on hot days.

So Gould was dismayed at the idea of school being torn down.

That dismay turned to delight when she learned the boarded up windows were not harbingers of the school’s doom but a sign the school will soon be restored to look even more like she remembers it.

The Burnaby school district announced in February 2018 it planned to move its administrative offices to the

Corner of Kingsway and Willingdon Over 25 stores and services for your shopping convenience. Plenty of customer parking.

Schou site and planned to incorporate the old school into the $15-million project.

The district started work at the site this week after getting the go-ahead to demolish the 1970s addition to the school and elements of the original building’s interior so it can be retrofitted to accommodate modern offices.

“This is a chance for us to revitalize this beloved heritage building.The new district office will have a respectful nod to the past, while giving the Schou building both a renewed life and purpose,” secretarytreasurer Russell Horswill told the NOW. The project will see distinctive heritage elements restored, like the cupola and the wooden siding Gould remembers.

“I’m just so happy that they’re restoring it and they’re keeping it,” she said.

“It has lots of good memories of good friends and good times. It makes me very happy.”

City now Correction Notice

EDUCATION

In the circular beginning Friday, September 20, 2019, we incorrectly listed the sale price of Select Baking & Decorating Supplies as Buy One, Get One 50% Off. The correct sale price is Buy Two, Get One Free.

As legions of groggy kids get used to their back-toschool wake-up times, the Burnaby school district is planning to increase awareness about the importance of sleep for health and learning this year.

In an online mental health survey of Grade 10 students a couple years ago, the district found out more than half (52 per cent) of its students were failing to get enough sleep, according to Sue Dorey, the district’s director for safe and caring schools.

Eight per cent reported getting four hours or less.

The findings were mirrored in the 2018 McCreary Adolescent Health Survey (for kids in Grade 7 to 12), which found 52 per cent of all B.C. kids aren’t getting enough rest.

The Burnaby school district survey, which included about 1,800 respondents, also revealed local kids wanted more information

about sleep.

They ranked sleep as their second highest priority on a list on mental health topics they wanted to learn more about. (Stress management was at the top.)

Getting in the way of enough sleep, according to the kids, was homework, social media, worries and stress, gaming, extra-curricular activities,TV and work – in that order.

Parents have asked for more information about sleep too, according to the school district.

INFORMATION SESSION Last year, parents told Fraser Health staff working at Morley and Stride elementary schools they needed help improving their kids’ sleep and cutting down on their screen time.

The health authority followed up with a sleep and screen-time information session.

“I just see a difference in my boys now,” said Morley parent Polly Kainth after implementing some of

the sleep tips she learned.

“They’re just more involved, more engaged at school.”

Kainth said the information session prompted her to change her sons’ routine, pushing their allotted screen time to earlier in the evening.

“After the sleep hygiene session, we’re like, you know what, they shouldn’t be overstimulated with this bright light close to bedtime,” she said.

The school district has heard the concerns about sleep loud and clear, Dorey said, and, starting next month, it will provide teachers with information and tools to teach kids about the importance of sleep and how to get enough of it.

“Sleep is a time for your brain to repair cells, build new pathways, and that’s pretty important for learning,” Dorey said. “We always brush it off.When I was in college the saying was, ‘Sleep when you’re dead.’ It was our last priority.”

Having a good bedtime routine and a comfortable sleep environment, avoiding screen time before bed, keeping an oldfashioned alarm clock on the nightstand instead of a smart phone, and cutting down on caffeine and energy drinks later in the day are all ways to improve your chances of getting a good night’s sleep.

WARNING SIGNS But Dorey said the district also hopes to go beyond just providing sleeping tips.

“We also know that not all kids come from a place where they can have this perfect sleep environment,” she said. “Some of them come from homes where there’s violence or some of them share bedrooms with multiple siblings or they’re responsible for child care…

Sleep disturbance can also be a sign of a mental health issue. It can be a sign of depression or more clinical anxiety.”

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

City of Burnaby recognized for budget presentation The City of Burnaby, which operates debt-free and has more than $1 billion in financial reserves, is famously good with money – and now it’s being recognized for how it communicates its budgeting.

The city has been awarded the distinguished budget presentation award from the

Government Finance Officers Association.

“This award recognizes the city’s efforts to prepare an annual budget that is clear and understandable, and that serves as a policy document, a financial plan and an operations guide and communications device,” says a city press release.

A Delightfully Upsetting One-Person Musical

“It’s important to demystify city budgeting for residents, and ensure we help the community understand how their tax dollars are spent,” said Noreen Kassam, Burnaby’s director of finance. “This award gives us confidence that we’re on the right track.”

‘Remarkable’ Bordeaux Will Have Wine Aficionados Lining Up for BC Liquor Stores Release Every September, for more than 30 years, wine lovers and collectors have lined up overnight at BC Liquor Stores in the hope of securing some premium bottles of that rock star of wines — Bordeaux.

This year — Saturday, September 28th — will likely be no exception, and may attract even more enthusiasts for the release of the 2016 Bordeaux.

Many wine experts deem the 2016 vintage particularly remarkable due to a uniquely, long growing season.

“The result is wines with concentration and power … but with the incredible depth of flavour that comes with slow-ripening.

The [2016] wines have a level of finesse and drinkability that we don’t usually see in a powerful year,” says Barbara Philip, Master of Wine and Category Manager for BC Liquor Stores.

Philip can attest to the spectacular attributes of the 2016 vintage, because, not only has she tasted a vast array of Bordeaux offerings, she’s the person who buys the European wine for BC Liquor Stores.

Bordeaux is typically purchased en primeur or buying on futures.

Barb carefully selects the wines for our annual Bordeaux release.

Because Bordeaux is so highly allocated and such a famous wine, Philip says, retailers and importers, have to decide on and purchase all the wines — mostly reds but a few whites — about two years before they’re ready and two and a half years before actually taking possession of it.

“It is not a finished wine yet. These are samples that come from the barrel and they still have at least 12 months of aging to do. They are not wines that are pleasant to drink at that time. So, you look for indicators,” she explains.

When the wine finally does arrive, it’s released all at once.

“Nothing else really works like that,” Philip adds.

As with every Bordeaux vintage, there are the ever-present stand out wines that collectors covet and that will cellar well for many years. The Trotanoy ($425), Lafite Rothshild ($1,500) and Pétrus ($3,500) will be among the first to sell out, Philip predicts.

Exciting though for this year is that the quality of the 2016 vintage is evident across a range of price points. There are less expensive wines that allow more consumers to experience the region and the vintage. Philip cites the Chateau Saint-Bernard (Bordeaux AOC) at $25, noting that its approachable style offers a real sense of Bordeaux. “It tastes like Bordeaux. It tastes like the vintage — so delicious,” she says.

A slight step up in price is the Chateau Lanessan, which at $40, is still an affordable expression of Bordeaux quality.

As 2016 was a spectacular vintage, there are about 12,000 cases of Bordeaux landing in BC Liquor Stores in mid-September, 2,000 of which will be at the 39th & Cambie location.

A week before the release, the Cambie flagship store hosts an exclusive tasting event that gives wine aficionados a preview of the vintage. This ticketed event sells out quickly this year sold out within minutes of the tickets being released.

The 2016 yield, however, based on sheer volume of product range, offers unprecedented access to the Bordeaux vintage.

“A vintage like ’16 makes Bordeaux very inclusive,” Philip says.

“It can satisfy the collectors or [who] are paying someone to wait in line to buy Pétrus for them.” And there will be a selection for people to pick up a handful of wines for under $100.

Communitynow It’s time to make kids carry their own weight Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

As my three children and I approach the front door of our elementary school on the first full day of school, I find myself trailing behind. My two older kids rush ahead, waving apathetically as they catch up with their friends, and disappear through the door. My youngest is skipping only a few feet ahead of me, hopping over the lines on the sidewalk while calling out to

me to hurry up.

Wearing the strap of my kindergartener’s sparkly pink backpack on my shoulder, I’m carrying a pair of flowery rubber boots and a matching rain jacket in one hand and three manilla envelopes stuffed with filledout forms in the other. I hold out my pinky and encourage my five-year-old to hold on while we cross the street.

At that moment, I realize that she is completely empty-handed, while I’m fumbling with fistfulls of her stuff. I’ve done it again, just

as I had done when my two older kids had first started school. I was carrying all of her stuff, when she was more than capable of doing it herself. I promptly place the backpack on her back, hand her the boots and jacket, and explain to her that big girls carry their own things – and she doesn’t seem to mind at all.

As parents it can be so easy to do everything for our kids. From picking out their clothes and dressing them, to packing their lunches and carrying their bags to school, we

help them along, forgetting that sometimes they can help themselves just fine.

At five years old, most kids can place their boots at the base of their cubby.They can hang their jacket on the hook, and they can change into their inside shoes all by themselves – if you let them.

For a long time I did everything for my kids, carrying their load (both literally and figuratively). But the burden of doing it all can quickly burn you out, and keep them blind to the independence they need to experience in order to grow

into capable kids.

I’m trying to make an effort to encourage my youngest to take little steps towards complete independence, starting with carrying her backpack, unloading her lunch bag when she gets home from school, and choosing what she’d like to wear each day.

When one of my older kids forgets a jacket on a rainy day, or leaves their homework on the table, I don’t rush it to them at school, I use it as an opportunity for them to learn the

consequences of their actions. It may seem harsh, but I think it’s important for them to learn responsibility.

If they see that it’s raining and they decide not to bring a jacket, they get wet. Cause and effect. Next time, they’ll be more likely to grab that coat, because they’ll remember what happened when they didn’t.

I suggest that you hang up your hat on doing everything for your kids, and encourage them to hang their own coats in the process.

City now Firefighters set to adopt rescued dogs Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Three canine survivors of Hurricane Dorian could soon be living in Canada thanks to a group of Burnaby firefighters who spent last week in the Bahamas to help with recovery efforts on the storm-ravaged islands.

Thirteen volunteers – including nine active Burnaby firefighters – and four search dogs spent four full days on Great Abaco Island in the northern Bahamas, searching the wreckage for bodies, alive or dead.

The area was among the hardest hit when Dorian stalled over the northern Bahamas for nearly two days earlier this month, unleashing winds of up to 295 km/hr. The official death toll as of Monday was 51 but was expected to rise.

“It’s hard to describe,” Burnaby fire Captain Ian Heatherington told the NOW in a phone interview from the island. “What you had was buildings flattened and then a storm surge pushing them around, washing part of them out to sea, with thousands of people living in the area.”

Working closely with police, the canine teams found and marked the location of bodies in the debris.

It was grim work, but Heatherington said the locals were grateful.

“They have a little hope, just a lit-

tle hope seeing just the very beginning stages of recovery,” he said.

The team didn’t find anyone buried alive in the wreckage, but they did help locate three Canadians safe and sound at their homes on the island after they had been reported missing for days.

The team also helped shuttle supplies from the airport.

And, in the evenings, some team members made it their mission to make sure dogs left ownerless by the storm were taken care of. Every day, after their human search operations wrapped up, those team members went looking for dogs to save, according to firefighter Scott Murchison.

“When you search for dead bodies all day, truthfully, it’s just satisfying to find something that’s living,” he said.

The dozen or so dogs the team found were turned over to International Fund for AnimalWelfare workers who were on Abaco to rescue abandoned animals, according to Murchison.

The organization has since flown them to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where they will be kept for 30 days, so any surviving owners have time to claim them.

Three Burnaby firefighters (Murchison, Heatherington and Ryan Berry) have signed up to adopt dogs in case they remain orphaned.

Murchison has put his name down

for a four-month-old puppy the team found playing across the road from The Mudd, a shantytown levelled by the storm.

“She had a big cut on her inner thigh and a cut on her back and a bit of stuff going on in her ears,” Murchison said. “We had rescued a few other puppies by that point, and it doesn’t take long for them to deteriorate because, obviously, there’s no clean water around and no one’s looking after them.”

Murchison and his girlfriend have already taken to calling the pup Abby – after Abaco Island where she was found.

SOVEREIGN’S MEDAL FOR VOLUNTEERS

Burnaby residents honoured for outstanding volunteerism Four outstanding Burnaby volunteers, including a longtime Burnaby Mountie, got kudos from B.C.’s lieutenant-governor this month.

The Honourable Janet Austin invited 44 volunteers to Government House in Victoria on Sept. 5 to present them with the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers, awarded to Canadian citizens who have made significant, sustained and unpaid

contributions to their community or abroad.The lieutenant-governor presented the awards on behalf of Gov. Gen. Julie Payette.

“Candidates must have demonstrated an exemplary commitment through their dedicated volunteerism,” stated a press release.

Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis, a B.C. Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, was recognized for

44 years of basketball-related volunteering, including his management of B.C. Basketball and the B.C. High School Boys Basketball Association championships.

Wildlife and waterfowl conservationist Chief Warrant Officer Mitchell Bain was recognized for 40 years of work with the Sapperton Fish and Game Club and the Pitt Waterfowl Society.

Bain has also been a pipe major with the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada Pipe Band and is a piping instructor to local cadets.

Michael Coyle was honoured for 18 years of helping people lost or injured in B.C.’s backcountry and for advancing search-and-rescue methods and technology. He volunteers with both Coquitlam Search and Rescue and the British Colum-

bia Search and Rescue Association.

Major University seeks participants for national hearing study.

M O NDAY – T HURSDAY | 8PM Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

City now Employers ‘cautiously optimistic’ Burnaby and Coquitlam employers are cautiously optimistic about hiring heading into the final quarter of 2019, according to a recently released survey.

ManpowerGroup’s employment outlook survey, which is conducted nationally and locally, shows that eight per cent of BurnabyCoquitlam area employers expect to hire during the fourth quarter of the year,

while two per cent expect to roll back their employee rosters.

Meanwhile, 89 per cent plan to maintain their current staffing levels between October and December, with the final one per cent unsure.

Employment levels vary between seasons, so Manpower adjusts its employment outlook to account for those typical changes.With

that in mind, the net employment outlook for Q4 2019 is plus 10 per cent – a nine percentage point decrease from the previous quarterly outlook, said Richard Plumb of Manpower’s Vancouver office.

That’s also an eight-point decrease from the same time last year, “indicating a modest hiring pace for the upcoming months,” Plumb said. *REBGV MLS Statistics

From huddle to hall of fame for Mardi Gras QB

Retired Burnaby teacher recalls gridiron glory days Mario Bartel

editorial@burnabynow.com

Fame was never on Deb Moore’s radar when she led her Century Plaza Mardi Gras touch football team to six national championships in a row from 1986 to 1991. But that’s exactly what she and her teammates will achieve Oct. 5 when they become the first women to be inducted into the B.C. Football Hall of Fame.

The announcement of their honour was made last week at BC Place Stadium.

We knew what it took to work hard, persevere and become good.

Moore, a Burnaby school teacher for 35 years, began her touch football career as a receiver after several years playing other competitive sports like soccer, softball and volleyball. Many of her teammates were also accomplished athletes who were new to football — one, Debbie Huband, played for Canada’s women’s Olympic basketball team; another was on the national rugby side.

All had been recruited by Colin Farrell and Larry Doan to play in a new Vancouver league that launched in 1984.

“We were a superteam,” Moore said.

The women spent two years learning the intricacies of football, studying the playbook, getting comfortable with the game’s nomenclature.

By 1986, Moore said they were ready to compete in the Touch Bowl national championship, which was being held that year at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium.

It was on the eve of the tournament that Moore’s football career

HAIL MARY: Former Burnaby teacher Deb Moore still loves tossing the football around more than 30 years after she quarterbacked her Century Plaza Mardi Gras touch football team to a women’s national championship in 1986. It started a run of six consecutive Canadian titles and earned the team a place in the B.C. Hall of Fame as its first female inductees. PHOTO MARIO BARTEL/TRICITY NEWS took a decided turn in trajectory.

With starting quarterback, Laura Stewart, out with an injury, the Mardi Gras’s coaches turned to Moore, who had throwing experience in softball. Although definitely different, that background provided a basis to make the move.

“I had a good arm,” she recalled. “I could read the defences.”

In fact, Moore’s arm was so good she earned the nickname “Radar,” as she led her team

through the tournament undefeated, including a 23-14 win over the Ottawa Voyageurs in the final.

When Stewart returned the next season, the two women platooned at pivot, with the veteran handling the long-bomb plays and her protégé coming in when precise, short-yardage gains were required.

The combination proved unbeatable for the next five years.

But, Moore said, the women didn’t rest on their athletic laurels

to retain their status.

“We were used to competing,” Moore said. “We knew what it took to work hard, persevere and become good.”

Moore said she loved the game so much, she even brought it to her class at Seaforth Elementary, where she taught Grade 7. One of her pupils was Michael Bublé. By the early 1990s the team was starting to break up as players veered into careers and raising families.

But the bond formed by learning and mastering football together, where they traveled across the country to compete, even playing in an October snowstorm in Ottawa, remains strong, Moore said.

“We made lifelong friendships.”

There have been occasional reunions, including taking to the field once more at an Okanagan tournament several years ago.

In 2011 the team was named to Continued on page 34

The Burnaby Lakers’ Matt Beers is anticipating that initial moment wearing the Canadian jersey as he and his teammates take to the floor Thursday in the opener of the World Box Lacrosse championships in Langley.

If there are butterflies as they line up across the U.S. (7:30 p.m.), Beers expects the focus of trying to defend a world title to take control quickly.

“It’s been pretty exciting and something I’ve been looking forward to,” said Beers. “I

haven’t had a chance to represent my country before, but talking with the guys (who have), I know that it’s a pretty special opportunity and responsibility that happens to very few people.

“I was thrilled to be (selected), and I can say it was on my bucket list.This is just the first hurdle, because once you are chosen now we have to play the games. It’s going to be pretty intense; there are a lot of games in a quick span, and when you’re the defending champion the bar is set.”

Team Canada hasn’t practiced together yet, due to the Mann Cup just wrapping up and players scattered across the country.

“I’ve had a lot of surreal moments playing lacrosse at a high level, from winning a Minto Cup to playing pro (in the National Lacrosse League),” he said.

“You get that rush of adrenaline those first moments as you get onto the floor and you’re excited, but once the whistle goes, it becomes a game you’re familiar with.”

He’s joined on the national squad by fellow Laker Eli McLaughlin, while Sam Clare will be wearing England’s colours.

Other teams will also be coming in with their share of Canadian talent, including Serbia, which counts a handful of Burnaby natives among its ranks.

Helping the team in its quest to improve on its 2015 debut, when it posted a 1-2 record, are brothers Alex and Ilija Gajic, Nik Bilic and Marko Konjevic. Burnaby Lakers coaches Julian Kolb and Kyle Sorensen, meanwhile, are helping Team Austria, while lacrosse hall of famers Dave Evans and Dan Perreault are working the benches for Costa Rica and England, respectively.

The Netherlands has drafted siblings Rick and Rusty Wills as their training staff, while Naomi Gillian is doing the same for Team Sweden.

Sportsnow Knights KO’d by injuries Sometimes, football is about more numbers than the ones crunched on paper.

Last Friday, the St. Thomas More Knights had a formidable challenge when they lined up against B.C’s No. 1-ranked team, the Vancouver College Fighting Irish.

Minus 16 starters due to injury, the Knights did well to blank VC for the first 10 minutes.They trailed 27-0 at halftime. Having lost another four players by the half, the STM coaches forfeited the game rather than risk more pain.

“It was a case of where you were putting players into impossible positions, where they’d never practised, against a very strong opponent.That’s when we decided to (forfeit),” remarked STM head coach Steve DeLazzari.

He anticipates most will be ready for Friday’s game in Mission.

Looking for a new home? Start here.

Speculation tax still open to change: finance minister The provincial speculation and vacancy tax (SVT) is “working” — but that doesn’t mean it isn’t open to some amendments, finance minister Carole James told media September 12.

The minister, in Vancouver to meet with mayors of affected municipalities to discuss impact of tax on housing in their communities, held a press conference to announce the latest results of the SVT. James said that the SVT was “working,” with $115 million of revenue collected in the 2018/19 fiscal year, B.C. average home prices declining, more rental home supply coming on stream and 99.8 per cent of British Columbians exempt from the tax.

When asked why projected revenue from the SVT is not expected to decline over the next few years, which it would if more homes were successfully being rented to avoid the tax, Minister James said this was because the tax rate for foreign buyers and satellite families increases after the first year, from 0.5 per cent of assessed value to two per cent. However, this response does not

account for the consistency of projected revenues in year three.

CHANGES COULD BE MADE Despite the government’s message that the tax is a success, the minister was clear that some of the finer details of the SVT legislation were still a moving target, and could be affected by her discussions with the mayors of affected municipalities.

James said, “Part of the reason I’m meeting with the mayors... is to hear from them first-hand the kinds of issues they want to bring forward from their communities. We will continue to review the tax — we’re always trying to improve our taxes so we will be looking at specific cases.”

The minister said that the revenue being collected will go into the Housing Priority Initiatives Account, which is reported publicly, so that taxpayers can see how the funds are being spent to improve housing. “The minister of housing and myself have been calling on organizations to come forward with their ideas and contributions on

affordable housing, and these dollars will help. We’re also open to ideas and contributions from mayors and their councils.”

STRATA RENTAL RESTRICTION EXEMPTION Asked about strata units that cannot be rented out due to strata rental restrictions, for which an exemption only applies in 2018 and 2019, and whether that exemption will be extended, the minister said, “This is a policy decision that will be made, with input from the mayor’s meeting and other contributions, and we’ll make a decision on that this fall.”

Following the media Q&A and the minister’s departure, finance ministry communications director Katie Robb was asked whether the expiration of this strata rental exemption could be because the B.C. government is considering outlawing all condo rental restrictions. Robb responded, “That’s an issue that is being worked out along with the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs, so we’re working on

that policy decision.”

TAXING DEVELOPMENT SPACE At the same time as the press briefing, immediately next door in the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver, the Urban Development Institute (UDI) was holding a breakfast panel seminar with property tax and assessment experts to discuss the slate of new B.C. housingrelated taxes.

Paul Sullivan from Burgess, Cawley, Sullivan & Associates told the UDI audience that applying the SVT — along with other new provincial and municipal taxes — on development land was pushing up the cost of housing by a typical $54,000 for a new 800900-square-foot condo in Vancouver.

The SVT in particular has a high threshold for exemption, as a developer has to pay the tax if construction has not yet started, even during demolition, remediation, and while waiting for a development permit from the City.

“This could take years, and this is part of what adds to the cost of new housing,” said Sullivan.

LUPORINI, Domenic “Raymond” Santo Ray was born at home on Good Friday, April 6, 1928, in Vancouver. Beloved son of Joseph and Mary Luporini. He passed away peacefully at age 91 on Friday, September 13, 2019 in Burnaby Hospital surrounded by family and love. Ray enjoyed life and he amazed his doctors with his longevity.

Fishing, hunting, gardening, and sheet metal were all favourite hobbies. He loved his birds. He raised racing pigeons, budgies, cockatiels, and canaries.

He also enjoyed watching the wild birds, especially the crows flying to and from Burrard Inlet. He is survived by his loving wife, Elsie; his children Donna (Tom), Elaine (Gordon), and Philip (Deborah); and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother’s wife, Nettie Luporini, and many dear nephews and nieces.

He was predeceased by his sisters, Mary (Bernie), Viola (Fred), and his brother Ken. Ray and Elsie travelled the world extensively, making friends everywhere.

Ray’s passing leaves an enormous void. He will always be remembered for his deep love and pride in all his family, his captivating voice, unique observations, and the way he clowned for the camera.
