On-street parking fees set to go up Higher fees will target the city’s four centres Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
The City of Burnaby is increasing on-street parking fees in an effort to curb demand and ease crowding in some of the city’s busiest areas. City council has approved a bylaw amendment increasing the maximum perhour charge from $2 to $3. The $3 fee will only apply to streets with the highest demand in Burnaby’s four town centres: Metrotown, Edmonds, Brentwood and Lougheed. Meters on some streets adjacent to the $3 zones will start charging $2.50 per hour. The higher prices will increase the availability of onstreet parking in these areas and reduce both congestion and greenhouse gas emissions by incentivizing other forms of travel, according to a city staff report. The report notes that onstreet parking prices will remain at $2 per hour at 65 per cent of the city’s meters. On streets where parking demand is low – including portions of Walker Avenue, Kingsway, Macpherson Avenue, Kemp Street and Kathleen Avenue – the city plans to reduce parking fees to $1 an hour. Overall, the changes in parking fees are expected to have a “negligible impact on revenues.”

New licence coming for some landlords Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
The City of Burnaby is sending declaration forms to local homeowners to determine who needs to buy a $570 business licence to rent out their property. Starting next year, all landlords who rent out a detached home or duplex in Burnaby will have to purchase the annual house rental business licence.
Nando’s Kingsway
4334 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC 604-434-6220
$5.00 off any Share Platter Receive a $5 off Share Platter at Nando’s Kingsway until October 31st, 2019. No cash value, not valid with purchase of retail sauces, PERinaise, gift cards or alcohol. Cannot be used in combination with any other promotions or offers. Valid at Nando’s Kingsway ONLY.
They will also have to pay a one-time $50 application fee. All owners will be required to fill out the declaration by Nov. 30 – or face a $1,000 fee. The new system replaces annual sewer and water surcharges totalling $569 that were previously charged to homeowners with secondary suites, regardless of whether they rented it out. Mayor Mike Hurley has
said the extra utility fees were unfair to homeowners who have secondary suites but lack a rental income, particularly if those suites are occupied by family members. The city sent out similar declaration forms earlier this year and later refunded the utility surcharge to more than 1,900 homeowners who said they did not charge rent on their secondary suites.

SUCCESS BUILT ON KNOWLEDGE, SERVICE & TRUST SINCE 1988
The new business licence will be required for all homeowners who intend to rent out all or part of their home for any amount of time in 2020, whether or not the owner lives there. “Previously, homeowners who rented out their home when not living on the premises avoided paying supplementary utility fees, while homeowners who rented out a suite were subject to an additional charge.
This change now ensures equity in the treatment of these two groups,” states a City of Burnaby press release. If a homeowner declares she or he doesn’t intend to rent out their suite next year, but then changes plans, they will be required to tell the city and pay the $570 surcharge, according to a city staff report.

Citynow Motorcycle crash under investigation Police are investigating a Burnaby Heights crash Monday that sent a motorcyclist to hospital with serious injuries. At about 5:45 p.m., a grey Toyota Highlander SUV collided with a white BMW motorcycle at Hastings Street and Ingleton Avenue. “It appears at this time that the SUV was travelling east on Hastings Street, attempted to make a left turn onto Ingleton Avenue and struck the motorcycle that was travelling west on Hastings,” stated a Burnaby RCMP press release. The 51-year-old motorcyclist suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital in stable condition. Both the 55-year-old driver of the SUV and a passenger in the vehicle remained on scene and are cooperating with police. No charges have yet been laid. To get to the bottom of exactly what happened, police are now asking anyone who was near Hastings Street and Ingleton Avenue between 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. and has dashcam video of the crash to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604646-9999.

SCHOOLS
$35.7M plan to add child-care spaces unveiled Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
After nine months of studying how to create more child care at local schools, the Burnaby school district has come up with a $35.7-million plan to add 773 new spaces – all it needs now is the cash from the city and province. The school board directed staff in December to look into how more child care could be put in place at local schools. After months of study and community consultation, the district unveiled a detailed, three-phased plan at a public board meeting Tuesday. The district doesn’t have the capacity to have a childcare centre at every school, according to the report, so it recommends a “hub” approach. Child-care centres will
be placed at key schools. Those schools will then be grouped with two or three others. All the students in that hub will then get placement priority in that childcare centre, with busing made available if the distance to the centre is too far to walk. “The report strives for an equitable approach in which all 41 elementary schools would have either access to a centre on their property or a hub,” chair Gary Wong said. The district’s first move, according to the plan, is going to be to get child-care space rolled into various capital and seismic mitigation projects, including the University Highlands addition, the Burnaby North Secondary replacement and upcoming seismic upgrades at Stride Avenue Community and Cameron Elementary schools.
THREE PHASES Phase 1 will start in January, when the district will add 48 new child-care spaces at Second Street Community and Stride Avenue Community schools by allowing spaces currently being used for StrongStart programs during the school day to double as childcare spaces before and after school. Phase 2 would see 370 new child-care spaces created by next September at Rosser, Marlborough, Westridge, Cascade Heights and Suncrest elementary schools and at the Marian Learning Resource Centre. Phase 3 would see the creation of a further 193 new spaces by September 2021 at Taylor Park, Brantford, Kitchener,Twelfth Avenue and Stony Creek elementary schools. A Montecito parent at
Tuesday’s meeting asked if $60,000, $15,128,764 and access to the 91 spaces at $8,411,672 respectively. the new child-care centre Most of the money will recommended at Westridge be spent on new accessible Elementary would be diportables that have already vided equally between all been designed. the schools in that hub, inChild care is outside of cluding Montecito and Lothe district’s mandate, so chdale. the plan recommends getSecretary-treating all funding surer Russell Horfrom the city and swill said those and province, with the other details still city picking up the need to be worked tab for the infantout since the distoddler centres trict intends to re($7,879,744) and spect existing waitthe province paylists. ing for the before“A parent may and after-school have been on the care facilities waitlist for four or Katrina Chen ($22,895,288). child-care minister five years, and we Horswill said the don’t want to go district has been to them and say, as a result in contact with both the city of this report, you’re now and province throughout no longer on the list bethe planning process, so the cause they might be close,” requests won’t be coming he said. out of left field.

province, like the $192.5 million Child-care BC New Spaces Fund, have signalled the NDP government is willing to spend money on child care. Former Burnaby school trustee Katrina Chen, now the minister of state for child care, was at Tuesday’s meeting. “I saw her come in with a bag, so I was hoping it was full of money,” quipped Horswill. Chen told the NOW the school district’s funding request does have some important points in its favour. “We do have a priority for not-for-profit public spaces,” she said. “Our funding for public space is way more than for the private ones, and, especially, public ownership is crucial because they tend to be the services that will stay there the longest.They become a community asset.”

City now Burnaby RCMP launch pedestrian-safety campaign cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Eyes up, be seen and never step off a curb unless traffic has stopped – that’s advice Burnaby RCMP is urging pedestrians to take during Pedestrian Safety Month. With shorter and darker days, nearly half of all crashes involving pedestrians happen between October and January, according to police, and local Mounties will be out in force in the coming weeks to remind walkers and drivers to stay alert and to ticket them if that helps drive the point home. “We are out there doing education, but at the same time, education only goes so far,” Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh told the NOW. Burleigh was at SFU Tuesday, when Burnaby RCMP launched the month-long safety initiative, handing out reflectors and chatting with passersby.
“The most striking observation was the number of pedestrians who were crossing in marked crosswalks, stepping into the crosswalk without looking up, earbuds in both ears, looking at their cellphones, sending messages, typing while they’re crossing the crosswalk.They have to look up,” she said. “They have to make eye contact.They’re going to get hit.” To pick up a free reflector and chat with a local Mountie, drop by the following locations: Kingsway and Edmonds Street on Oct. 24 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; McKay Avenue and Kingsborough Street in Metrotown on Oct. 28 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.; and in the 4000 of Hastings Street near the Hastings-Brentwood Community Police Office on Nov. 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PEDESTRIAN SAFETY TIPS: Wear bright, reflective clothing especially at night.
Use crosswalks, preferably in well-lit areas. Make eye contact with drivers and ensure they have seen you and have stopped before stepping out into the crosswalk. Don’t be distracted by your phone or wear earbuds when walking. Ensure you’re aware of your surroundings and prepared to react should you need to. If it’s raining, ensure you can still be seen if you are using an umbrella. Consider taking the umbrella down as you approach crosswalks to ensure drivers can see you. DRIVER SAFETY TIPS: Slow down and always follow posted speed limits. Slow down well in advance of crosswalks to ensure that no pedestrians are about to walk out. Keep your eyes on the road; never drive distracted. Look for pedestrians and then look again.

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Mandatory voting, lower voting age ideas worth exploring It’s easy to be cynical and apathetic when the current Canadian political landscape is so deeply divided, and so full of wedge issues and negativity. But as a newspaper that prides itself on covering elections at all levels of government, it’s a no-brainer that we would prefer people vote than give up their right. We understand that it’s hard work learning about the different policies and candidates, and there are more fun things to do than
watch an all-candidates meeting — ask our reporters. But when it comes to how government services are handled, it’s important to have a say, perhaps more so now than ever before. That’s why we support any effort to get people to the ballot box, whether it be mandatory voting, a statutory holiday to promote voting or free rides to the polls. Other countries feel the same way, according to a recent article by Research Co.
pollster Mario Canseco that documented Canada’s poor showing during recent federal elections and outlined ways to change it. According to Canseco, more than 20 countries have some form of compulsory voting. In Australia, for example, someone can get a $150 fine for not voting if they don’t have a good excuse; in Brazil, adults have to provide a voting receipt to access government services. We think it’s not a bad
idea to tie voting to services in a way that directly reminds people why we have governments and elections in the first place. We also support lowering the voting age and disagree with the old trope that young people who don’t pay taxes don’t care about election outcomes.They do care about issues such as climate change and housing affordability, and policies made today on these issues directly affect them for years to come.
Young people also work hard on getting informed on the issues by soaking up information online. It’s time Canada got more proactive and made voting an important part of citizenship by requiring people to take the matter seriously. If you don’t want to see six candidates shouting over one another in a TV debate, we understand. But there are so many other ways to get information that is uniquely targeted to you. For example, the New
Westminster Record has an extensive library of stories, including details on election platforms, candidate biographies and websites at newwestrecord.ca/federa-election-2019. With just a little time and effort, you can inform yourself. And in the meantime, tell any politician or supporter who comes to your door that you appreciate the effort that they are making. Then be sure to get out and vote Oct. 21.
MY VIEW PEARL JOHNNY
Indigenous song rings true to me As a young indigenous woman, I am moved by the song Life of a Native by Okema.This song represents parts of what we have learned about culture conflict and speaks on many different subjects that revolve around being an Indigenous person. The subjects that Okema mentions in this song are things that many First Nations people go through; things such as discrimination, colonization of our people and our cultural/traditional ways being suppressed. He speaks on residential schools, how we are having a hard time healing and being able to find out who we are as people with the society that we live in today. This song relates to culture conflict as it shapes how we as Indigenous people think and the way we deal with conflict. It changes our outlook on life because of the trauma that generations before us suffered when they were forced into residential schools. That alone took away who we are as people.We were told to live a certain way and stripped of our basic human rights. Some of the things that I can personally relate to is the discrimination that comes along with being an Indigenous person. It is the feeling that I cannot be trusted or depended on. It is going into a store or public place and having security or store workers following and watching every move. It is people distancing themselves when around me because the sight of my skin
colour makes them uncomfortable. When I think about what Okema mentions in his song, I think of all of the things that come with it. Colonialism, suppression and trying to heal from traumas.The experiences that come with that topic is growing up with parents who went through so much hatred, anger and pain. The way it completely tore my parents apart and changed who they are. Having parents who didn’t grow up on love is a whole new problem in itself. My parents have no idea how to deal with conflict and life in general.They were taught that their feelings were invalid. Growing up and living in that unhealthy mindset that residential schools put not only on my parents, but my people as well, has only caused lifetime trauma and unhealthy ways of living.You cannot learn new things when you weren’t given the tools.The only thing that residential schools have ever taught my parents is survival. What happened to them reflects on me. It was never physical, but the things we could have learned, the knowledge we could have inherited. Instead, it is up to me to search for those things, things I don’t even know what I am searching for. It was never my parents’ fault. How could they teach us things that they never had a chance to learn? Pearl Johnny of theToosey First Nation. is a student at the Justice Institute of B.C. in NewWestminster.

Bagpiper has his pipes stolen
An SFU piper’s chance to perform at NewYork’s Carnegie Hall was put in jeopardy by a thief who stole his $5,000 bagpipes from the trunk of a car. Anthony Kerr came from Australia to be a part of the SFU pipe band. Kerr said he wasn’t interested in laying charges; he just wanted the bagpipes back because they had been finetuned in unison with the other pipes in the band over the course of three months. He said they’d also been groomed over two and a half years to fit his body perfectly. “I’m totally devastated,” he said.

Editor: In my position as a school crossing guard, I am constantly amazed at drivers’ behaviours while driving. Some examples are eating, drinking, shaving, putting on makeup, brushing their hair and driving with dogs on their laps. Not to mention texting or talking on the phone, or driving with children, who should be in child restraints, hanging out the window. One of the most disturbing behaviours are drivers who speed in spite of the fact that the area is a recommended 30 km/h zone. Of greatest concern are drivers who run through an active pedestrian crosswalk against the red light. This crosswalk is used daily by school children (both elementary and secondary), parents with preschool children, and strollers and seniors. Drivers need to slow down, pay attention to red lights and help to keep everyone safe. Anita Loy, Burnaby
first-past-the-post” Trudeau. But even if I did have a choice, I’d find little incentive to vote for candidates of the main contending parties. The Conservatives are what you would call, if speaking accurately, “socially regressive.” Come hell (forest fires) or high water (rising sea levels), they’ll defend Canadians’ weird obsession with sucking oil out of rocks and driving the world’s most gas-guzzling cars. The same goes for the Liberals, who, while not exactly “regressive” on social policy, will tell you polluting the environment is compatible with protecting it. If the NDP ever came to power, they’d give us a made-in-Canada cultural revolution led by a phalanx of no-platformers. In other words, they’d be like the Liberals on a PCP binge. The initials for People’s Party of Canada are, incidentally, an anagram for PCP, and the Greens want us to think the planet will heal itself if we all drive electric cars, which is a complete fiction. I don’t take the decision not to vote lightly. I have two young children, am worried about the kind of world they will inherit, and want to see meaningful change. I know that if immediate and dramatic action is not taken, our planet will be significantly more degraded than it is now. None of the major political parties, however, are willing to speak plainly about the lifestyle changes that would be needed to turn things around. And even if one of them did, our electoral system would more or less discount my support. Therefore, I can only conclude that voting in this election would be a complete waste of time.

Cops bust home loaded with stolen property Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A 53-year-old Burnaby man is facing charges in relation to an Edmonds-area home allegedly being used to warehouse stolen property being sold online. Burnaby RCMP got a report in mid-September that stolen property was being sold from a home in the 8000 block of 14th Avenue, according to an RCMP press release. Investigators concluded the place was being used to fence stolen bicycles, sports equipment, machinery and more. After a month-long investigation, Mounties raided the home and recovered a slew of stolen items – and more was on its way. While officers were still on scene, they were approached by a taxi driver
who had been asked to deliver a piece of machinery to the home by a person on a motorcycle. The taxi driver told police the motorcyclist had followed but then saw the police presence outside the home and fled. A 53-year-old Burnaby man now faces charges of possession of property obtained by crime in relation to the investigation. And police are working to reunite the stolen property with its rightful owners. To check if any of the recovered property is yours, contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999. “These thieves would not be able to function without demand for the property they’re stealing, so we would like for the public to help us by following our advice when buying property online,” Cpl. Daniela Pane-
sar said in the release. TIPS If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always ask for original documentation related to the property such as receipts and instruction manuals. If you’re concerned about buying property online, arrange to meet up with the seller in a public place or at your local police detachment. Take note of serial numbers for your equipment and bicycles. It will assist police in getting your property back to you. Always report stolen property to police and ensure you provide serial numbers and any other identifying information about your property.

What lies beneath: Reservoir set for demolition Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Most kids playing at Alta Vista Park in Burnaby’s South Slope area probably have no idea why there is a fence keeping them out of an apparently unused swath of grass next to their playground. Their only hint would be a nearly four-metre-tall concrete column topped with a decorative metal vent poking out of the north end of the property. For 106 years, what has lain beneath is a giant, Lord of the Rings-esque cavern with arched ceilings and concrete columns – the Alta Vista Reservoir. City of Burnaby heritage planner Lisa Codd and parks staff were out at the site, at the corner of Royal Oak Avenue and McKee Street, this week to commit the decommissioned facility to memory before it is demolished to expand the park next door. “It’s a really cool thing,” Codd said of the waterworks relic. ENGINEERING FEAT The reservoir was built in 1913 to collect water coming in through new water mains from Seymour Creek on the North Shore. About 26 metres long, 14 metres wide and 4.3 metres deep, with a capacity of more than 1 million litres, it serviced the growing historic neighbourhood of Alta Vista on the South Slope. The site took up three city-owned land parcels at 5172 and 5192 McKee St. The reservoir sits below the two parcels at 5172, which was fenced and
closed to public use. But neighbourhood kids eventually picked the open space at 5192 for “informal ball play” (in the parlance of city engineers). By 1967, runaway balls rolling down Royal Oak Avenue had become enough of a traffic safety hazard for the city to take steps to discourage the ball play by putting in a playground.
CHANGING CITY That playground has since been replaced and upgraded several times, most recently in 2016, according to a city report. The reservoir, meanwhile, was decommissioned about 15 to 20 years ago, when new infrastructure made it obsolete. In 2016, an engineering report determined the cavernous underground structure would be at risk of collapse during an earthquake and would need to be demolished to enable safe use of the site. The thin layer of grass and soil on top of the reservoir also restricted its potential public use, according to the city. The final nail in the reservoir’s coffin was a 100-signature petition submitted to council last December requesting the well-used playground next to it be expanded. On March 25, city council approved a plan to demolish the reservoir and expand the park, but the report on the plan included a pretty glaring factual error. It stated the reservoir had been built in the 1960s, not 1913. Ultimately, Codd says the mistake would have made
UNEARTHING HISTORY: The Alta Vista Reservoir has sat unused beneath an unassuming fenced area of grass at 5172 McKee St. in Burnaby’s South Slope area for nearly two decades. It was built in 1913 to collect water coming in through new water mains from Seymour Creek on the North Shore. It is now being demolished to expand a nearby park. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR little difference to the reservoir’s fate as a potential heritage site. “When we’re looking at establishing something for heritage status, it has to be something that could be accessible to the public, to be a community amenity,” she says. “Old reservoirs are tricky in terms of being able to provide any sort of safe access to it.” Codd calls the playground expansion a “good news story.” A PIECE OF HISTORY To get ahead of the demolition crews, however,

she was at the site Tuesday, documenting the historic facility and trying to salvage at least a remnant of it – the pillar and vent at the north end. “It’s this beautiful concrete column with a metal kind of finial on the top,” she says. “It’s a vent that would release air pressure. As the reservoir fills up, it needs a place for air to go.” To preserve the features during the demolition, Codd and parks development staffers David Dudley, Branden Dallas and Nick Kito braced them with twoby-fours, steel strapping and bubble wrap. Their efforts may ultimately prove futile, depending on how the pillar – and the pipe inside it – are attached to the reservoir below, Codd says. “We’re not sure at this point how it’s connected below,” she says, “so our goal today is to document it in case it does not make it through the demolition of the reservoir.” If the concrete pillar breaks apart during the demolition, Codd says the metal vent on top could still be salvaged and the pillar rebuilt using the measurements taken this week. The cost to build the reservoir in 1913 was $13,000, according to a February 1913 article in The Province

newspaper. Demolishing it and preparing the site for the playground expansion will cost $350,000, according to the city report.
In the end, kids in the neighbourhood will get 560 square metres of extra space for both formal and informal ball play and other activities.

Burnaby pair accused of pressuring investor to lie Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
The B.C. Securities Commission is accusing a former Burnaby insurance agent and his associate of pressuring an investor into lying to one of its investigators. Hunter Wei-Shun Wang was a licensed insurance broker employed by a company, and Jing “Janet” Zhang was that company’s marketing director, according to a notice of hearing from the B.C. Securities Commission. On March 29, 2014, the Burnaby pair convinced a B.C. man to invest $25,000 in the company they worked for, the commission says. Three days later, however, the investor had regrets and asked for his money back. While he was waiting for a response, his mother called the commission to complain about the investment.
The commission alleges that – after its staff contacted Wang to investigate the mother’s complaint – Wang and Zhang met with the investor and his mother and told them the investment would only be refunded if the investor lied to the commission about it. “Wang and Zhang offered to refund the investor’s money if he lied to commission staff about his investment by stating that his mother was confused when she complained to commission staff, as she was thinking about a different investment when, in fact, he had no complaints about his investment in the company,” states the commission’s notice. “The investor then phoned commission staff in front of Wang and Zhang and provided the false information they had rehearsed.” The investor and his mother then met Zhang at her personal bank branch, where she took out $25,000
and gave it to the investor to refund his investment. A few weeks later, the company reimbursed Zhang for the payment. The commission wouldn’t specify which company Wang and Zhang worked for, saying only there is “no indication that the company involved is relevant to the allegations.” The commission also wouldn’t comment on how it found out about the lies Wang and Zhang allegedly coached the investor to tell. “We cannot provide evidence before it is filed at the hearing, as that may jeopardize the hearing,” read an emailed statement. The commission will make its case against Wang and Zhang in November in front of an administrative panel that will determine whether Wang and Zhang’s actions were an obstruction of justice or abusive to the capital markets.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Ismaili Civic Day is an annual day of service with members of the Canadian Shia Ismaili Muslim community volunteering to support their communities.

Walking for health: More than 250 people came out Saturday morning to walk/run in the third annual Vancouver Multiple Myeloma March that took place at Burnaby Lake Rowing Pavilion. Thanks to the generous support of family, friends and community members, the Multiple Myeloma March raised more than $57,000. Spokesperson for the event, Nigel Holmes, who was diagnosed at the age of 37 with myeloma, a little-known and incurable cancer of the plasma cells, is extremely pleased with the success of the march. Funds will help ensure that research continues to stay one step ahead of the disease and new drug therapies continue to be developed until a cure is found. The Multiple Myeloma March is Myeloma Canada’s flagship fundraiser. Myeloma Canada, a charitable organization, is driven to improve the lives of those impacted by myeloma and to support research toward finding a cure. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Gallery adds a little rhythm Deer Lake Gallery is gearing up for a day of music and sound. The gallery is hosting a Found Sound Rhythm Circle on Saturday, Oct. 19 in connection with the ongoing ReVision: the art of recycling exhibition. Abby Greene Bull will lead the session from 2 to 4 p.m. “Your creative genius will be ignited with glee as we experiment grooving and jamming using random things that are around you in the room, body percussion and voice,” says a writeup about the workshop. “This is your chance to let your imagination go wild finding percussive sounds and making music out of anything – be it a paper cup and a spoon, or an old washboard and a chopstick, a water bottle, a coffee mug and keys or even the dog’s squeaky toy.” The workshop costs $5, and signup is available through www.eventbrite.ca (direct link at www.tinyurl. com/FoundSoundDL).
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.
Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.
Live music: The VanDeca choir will be performing at the Live at the Gallery event on Oct. 19. PHOTO NOW FILES
Also on Saturday, Oct. 19, the gallery will host its next Live at the Gallery evening event, giving folks a chance to stop in and check out the current exhibition while enjoying live music. This month’s performance is by the VanDeca choir. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are free, but space is limited, so sign up at www.eventbrite.ca (direct link at www.tinyurl.com/ VanDecaAtGallery). For more on exhibitions

New trail opens at Central Park The Central Park Perimeter Trail in Burnaby is now open for business, according to the city. “The Central Park Perimeter Trail not only provides health and fitness opportunities for Burnaby residents, it also helps connect our community,” said Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley. Phase two of the Cen-
tral Park Perimeter Trail is a 0.82-kilometre lit pathway along Patterson Avenue.This section of the trail is four-metres wide and stretches from Imperial Street to the Patterson SkyTrain station.The trail’s first phase was built in 2017 and runs along Central Park’s west perimeter of Boundary Road, from 45th Avenue to
$
Imperial Street. The city is currently working on the design of phase three, which will run along the park’s south side. Together, these paths will create a scenic and accessible four-kilometre trail with links to the B.C. Parkway at each end. “The Central Park Perimeter Trail is a great ad-
50
dition to Burnaby’s urban trail system.With more than 70 kilometres to explore throughout the city, residents have endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors,” said Dave Ellenwood, director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services.

The comedy follows a gay couple in their 30s living in Toronto.When Brett (Mark Crawford) inherits a family estate, he and his partner, Drew (Paul Dunn), move to a quiet little tourist town to set up a B&B. Once they arrive, however, they encoun-
ter homophobia that makes them reconsider whether they made the right decision.The play features dozens of characters all portrayed by two actors. Ashlie Corcoran, artistic director of the Arts Club, is directing the production.
“The form of this play is really exciting – both actors play about a dozen roles each,” she said in a press release. “They use a form of theatre called vocal masque, an athletic and physical form of theatre where actors make sharp shifts in voice
and body to help differentiate between different characters. It’s an exciting thing to watch, especially combined with the 300 sound and 300 lighting cues that fly along, supporting the actors’ specific gear shifts. I am thrilled to bring this

PARENTING
Set a good example for kids by voting Bianca Bujan
Driving home from school pickup on Friday afternoon, my oldest daughter asked me who I was going to vote for in the federal election and I hesitated to respond. I know the time to vote is quickly approaching and which issues mattered to me the most, but I hadn’t taken the time to really sit down and research which party was best aligned with my hopes for the future. It’s easy to make excuses for not voting - especially as a parent. As a working mother of three young children, I thought my absence from the polls was justified because I just didn’t have the time. As a non-partisan woman who wasn’t politically savvy, I was concerned that I would cast an uninformed vote, swaying the results with an eenie meenie
they were and what they represented. It’s easy to turn a blind eye to politics if you’re not a political savant, but the issues at hand matter and will have a huge impact on both the present, and the future that we’re building for our children. We’re in the middle of a child care crisis in BC.The cost of daycare has risen faster than inflation in 61 per cent of Canadian cities in the past few years, and Vancouver tops the list for most expensive toddler programs in the country. Our public school system is underfunded, and post-secondary education is becoming an unaffordable aspiration for the children of the future. Our baffling housing market is in dire need of an overhaul before our province loses all of its best people to the more affordable areas that lie outside of our metropolitan centres.We need to take action on climate change now, and in fact, according to a
poll from Abacus Research, 82 percent of Canadians agree that climate change is a serious problem. These are the matters that will drive me to the polls this year. We need to express which issues matter most to us as parents, and where we think the budgets should be spent in the coming years. Thanks to our American neighbours, we’ve seen what can happen when people opt out of their right to vote. Let’s exercise our right to vote, provide proper representation for our province, and have important conversations with our kids about voting so that they hit the polls when they reach the age of 18 with an understanding of how it all works and why it matters. I plan to vote in this year’s federal election, and so should you. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor, and marketing consultant.

minie moe approach to making my electoral selections. I voted for the first time in the 2015 federal election, and I admit my decision to do so was heavily influenced by the commentary that was swirling on social media, and by conversations amongst friends and family. But before I hit the polls, I did my homework. I didn’t want to choose a candidate because my parents were doing so, and I didn’t want to vote for the sole purpose of voting against someone else.The biased TV ads didn’t influence which box I ticked, and I certainly didn’t pick at random on the day of voting. Instead, I read up on the issues, and tried my best to gain a basic understanding of each party’s perspective. I took online tests to see where my opinions fit into the political landscape, and I visited the webpages of each candidate in my riding to learn more about who

City grants $1M for CT scanner Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
The City of Burnaby is stepping into the province’s shoes to help pay for a second CT scanner at Burnaby Hospital. City council approved a $1-million grant to the Burnaby Hospital Foundation to partially cover the cost of the medical imaging equipment, which will support the facility’s existing scanner during breakdowns and enable 10,000 more scans per year, according to a city report. The hospital currently has one CT scanner, installed in 2008, which breaks down regularly, sometimes leading hospital staff to send patients in need of scans to other hospitals in taxis, Mayor Mike Hurley said at a Monday council meeting. “This is not what should happen in the third-largest community in B.C.This is a very, very important thing we’re trying to do here and it can affect every family in our city at any time,”
he said. Hurley noted a mobile CT scanner is currently parked in the hospital’s parking lot, acting as a backup to the one machine inside. “I don’t find that acceptable,” he said. While the existing scanner is set to be replaced, the province doesn’t appear keen to pay for a second machine at the hospital. That’s why, Hurley said, the city felt compelled to wade into a provincial jurisdiction and help the foundation reach its fundraising goal to buy a second scanner for an estimated $1.5 million. Michael Keller, spokesperson for the hospital foundation, said it’s “quite unusual” for a municipality to give such a large grant to a hospital foundation. The money will go towards an ongoing effort to buy the new scanner, as well as other medical imaging equipment, he said. Keller said he was unable to predict when exactly the purchase and installation of
E
the second scanner would happen, but said it would happen before the $1.3-billion redevelopment of the hospital goes ahead over the coming years. The foundation was “absolutely delighted” and “extremely grateful” to hear of the city’s donation, CEO Kristy James said in a statement. The motion to grant the money passed with two dissenters, Coun. Colleen Jordan and Coun. Dan Johnston. “There are lots of organizations and institutions in this community that the government should fund more quickly, and we can’t afford to take on all of that as our responsibility,” Jordan said. “I think it’s horrible that our hospital has gotten to the situation that it’s in now, and this is just one example of it, but I don’t think, as a city, that we can afford to pick that up.” Jordan’s objections prompted an impassioned speech from Coun. Sav Dhaliwal.
“Many will say it’s not our responsibility.You know? That’s what got us into this mess,” Dhaliwal said, noting Burnaby had used the same excuse to avoid acting on housing affordability. He said the money would come from the city’s gaming reserves, which are funded by casino revenues rather than property taxes. “We’re going to stand up,” he said. The province has already committed funds to replace the existing scanner, which is just over 10 years old and approaching the end of its life, Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma told the NOW in an email.The hospital is currently being renovated to make way for the new machine, she said. “The new, replacement scanner uses advanced technology to produce images that are more clear and can be processed more quickly,” she said. Juma said she was unable to provide an exact date for when the new scanner will be operational.

Candidates talk food security at the bood bank
Dustin Godfrey
dgodfrey@burnabynow.com
Does a rising tide lift all boats, or do some of those boats need a little help to keep them afloat? That’s essentially the question that was posed Thursday evening at a Burnaby forum on food security involving five candidates. Speaking at the event were Burnaby South Conservative Jay Shin, New Westminster-Burnaby Green Suzanne de Montigny, Burnaby South Liberal Neelam Brar, New Westminster-Burnaby Libertarian Neeraj Murarka and Vancouver East People’s Party candidate Karin Litzcke. Burnaby North-Seymour New Democrat Svend Robinson was sick and could not attend, leaving his party unrepresented at the forum, held in the Greater Vancouver Food Bank’s new Burnaby warehouse. The event saw no direct clashes, in stark contrast with the leadership debates, but the forum quickly saw a rift form between the leftleaning and right-leaning candidates. PPC, Conservative and Libertarian candidates offered cascading degrees of low taxes and pumping up
the private sector to handle affordability. “What did the Conservatives do in government? We dropped the GST from seven per cent to five per cent, and every purchase you make at Tim Hortons or anywhere else becomes cheaper as a result,” Shin said. “Personally, I think the Liberals will raise the GST again to seven per cent to pay for their deficits.” On the extreme end, Murarka said his party intends to eventually abolish taxes in time – he didn’t say how they would pay for infrastructure, but said in Canada there was a time “when we didn’t have these taxes.” (Taxes have always existed in Canada, but before the First World War, they applied mostly to trade and customs.) Brar and de Montigny, on the other hand, argued the government has a role to play beyond lowering taxes and encouraging growth in the private sector. “I find it really concerning today that some of my counterparts up here onstage have said that because we’re in a strong economy, our economic growth can itself solve food insecurity,” said Brar. “That’s simply just not true.” De Montigny suggested a guaranteed livable income,
a policy proposed by the Greens and considered for study by the NDP, would help solve food insecurity. A guaranteed income would mean everyone gets a certain amount of money from the government, which proponents say would free people up to get the job that’s
right for them, enter training or start their own business. “The idea is to lift children out of poverty and lift people out of poverty and get them off the streets,” de Montigny said. The Liberals unveiled the country’s first national
food plan in June, which included a proposal for a national school food program that would seek to subsidize meals for children in need. De Montigny said she would “absolutely” support a national school food program, while right-leaning parties disagreed.

Communitynow Food bank opens huge new facility in Burnaby Chris Campbell
ccampbell@burnabynow.com
David Long is walking through a warehouse in Burnaby when he suddenly stops and stares down a long row of white walls. “This is my favourite place,” says Long, the CEO of the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, which just opened its new warehouse on Winston Street. “I call this refrigeration alley.” You’ll likely never find anyone who gets as excited about refrigeration as Long, but it’s easy to see why. The food bank used to operate out of a facility in East Vancouver that was woefully short on refrigeration space to keep perishables cold or frozen.The Burnaby facility has solved this issue, giving the food bank a 266-per-cent increase in refrigeration capacity and 816-per-cent increase in freezing capacity. A government grant allowed the food bank to install industrial-level refrigeration units. This gives the food bank
a lot of flexibility with its food, Long told the NOW during a tour of the facility on Thursday. Long loves this area so much he secured a donation to cover the cost of a “Refrigeration Alley” mural that has been painted on a wall next to the freezer. Being able to store food longer means the food bank wastes less product and feeds more people. And the food bank needs to be able to increase its capabilities to meet skyrocketing demand for its services. Long says the food bank has seen a 24-per-cent increase in clients needing food support in roughly the past year.The main culprit, Long says, is the housing crisis. Some of the food bank’s clients are working families who have to pour too much of their monthly income into rent, leaving not much left over for other essentials, such as food. Other clients are women with children who have left abusive relationships, Long said. The food bank feeds

roughly 28,000 people spread across Burnaby,Vancouver, New Westminster and the North Shore, Long said. About 8,000 to 9,000 of those clients are supplied though 13 hubs in these communities, with others serviced by 75 partner agencies. The warehouse runs on a mix of staff and volunteers. More than 80,000 volun-

teer hours are logged annually doing such things as sorting and assembling food packages.There are weekly menus in which food bank staff design balanced meals based on the food on hand, which ranges from canned goods to fresh items such as bread, milk, fruits and vegetables. Long said there are a lot of myths surrounding the
food bank, especially when it comes to the food supplied. “Some people still have this outdated view of the food banks of 20 years ago, with people getting a bag of Kraft Dinner,” he says. The food bank spends about $1.4 million annually to buy food, Long said, adding that they have a lot of “purchasing power” when
it comes to what they buy. For example, Long shows off crates of beautiful, fresh apples from a farm in the Okanagan that grows and sells them to the food bank at a hefty discount. The food bank, however, is still heavily reliant on donations from the public for much of the food it supplies to clients, Long said. Staff work closely with the business community to develop partnerships. The new Burnaby facility has allowed the food bank to expand and add services, such as banks of computers clients can use for such things as job searches. The move into the Burnaby was a feat in itself, as everything had to be transported and set up without missing any deliveries for the food bank’s thousands of clients. Now settled, Long said the food bank is trying to publicize its efforts and raise awareness about how people can support the organization. “I look at this as a fresh start for us,” Long said.

SOCCER
Buono leads way for SFU Mario Bartel
editorial@burnabynow.com
Kiara Buono is the youngest player on the Simon Fraser University Clan women’s soccer team. But the 17-year-old isn’t letting that hold her back. The freshman out of Centennial Secondary School in Coquitlam is a starting midfielder up on Burnaby Mountain, racking up minutes, if not goals.Yet. In fact, the Clan had yet to score in four games leading into their home opener two weeks ago. But it was Buono who helped crack that goose egg when she set up fellow freshman and Burnaby native Giuliana Zuarrini for the team’s first goal in a 2-1 loss to Central Washington. She is also second to Zuarrini in shots, with nine — four of them on net. Buono said coming from the two-time defending provincial girls’ champion Centaurs, she was eager to make an impact at her next competitive level. So she spent the summer following a vigorous training regime that included sprinting and running high-intensity intervals at the track five days a week. Once the season started she added lifting weights in the gym every Tuesday, under the guidance of a personal trainer. “So much more is at stake,” Buono said of her ascent to university soccer. Buono’s transition on the pitch has been aided by the proliferation of fellow freshmen — nine in total — in the Clan’s lineup and the familiar faces of several former teammates from Centennial as well as her Mountain United club team in the BC Premier League. That first-year crew also includes Burnaby native Amanda Scott, a TSS FC product via Cariboo Hill Secondary. “It’s like a big friend group,” Buono said. But when the referee’s whistle blows, the smiles and banter of training are replaced by competitive intensity. Buono, who is studying psychology and criminology, said she’s made a point of listening to and learning from the team’s veteran players like Carli Grosso. She admitted that getting up to speed in the college game has been an adjustment. “It’s so much faster,” she said. “Everyone is so much more skilled, they’re bigger and stronger.”
COLOUR THEIR WORLD: Katherine Wang painted a beautiful mural to pretty up the storage container for her Burnaby under-19 softball team, the Oakeys. LISA KING

Mural brings colour and a smile to player dealing with tragedy Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
Katherine Wang admits she isn’t much of a player. Although she was athletic and active growing up in her hometown of Kimberley, since moving to Burnaby three years ago she has had a lot on her plate. Personal tragedy was part of it. Softball has helped her regain her footing and passion. The teen took an opportunity to show her appreciation for her Burnaby Oakeys’ under-19 teammates, coaches and their families this summer by creating a mural that decorates the outside of the club’s equipment trailer in Squint Lake Park. “It was my first year playing softball and I wasn’t very good, but I was on a team that gave me a place to develop my skills,”Wang said.
“It’s a great team to be a part of. They let me in and we’re like a family now.” A graduate of Burnaby Central Secondary,Wang put many things aside upon the death of her mother last year. Dealing with her grief, the appeal of sport helped get her back on her feet. “Last year I had a very tough year. Softball sort of helped me relax and take all my frustrations out. “It was just like the connections I made on the team. I had supportive parents-fans and the trips we made during the season.The coaches were really nice and patient with me in developing my skills as a beginner.” The season saw the C-level squad advance to the provincials, where they finished fifth. Feeling like she wanted to share her appreciation for all the experiences she enjoyed this summer with the
team,Wang came up with an idea. The Oakeys’ banged-up storage unit looked like a potential canvas for the talented 18-year-old. “At first it was like a really bad painting that had been there for 10 years. I asked my coaches if I could paint it, and when they said ‘yes’ I was like, ‘Oh, what do I do now?” she recalls. “It was sort of a joke. I sketched out some ideas and my coach is also an artist so he designed a few things and put my ideas together.” Over a few weeks colour changed a faded old view into something bold and beautiful. Studying human kinetics at postsecondary,Wang said sports has always played a big role in her life growing up, from playing pick-up hockey on Kimberley’s outdoor rinks to stepping into the batter’s box as the only girl on the boys baseball team at her east Kootenay
high school. Wang knows a lot of patience and acceptance was required to embrace her on a team full of veteran players, with no softball experience of her own. “I was kind of shocked they spent so much time and effort to help me. During baseball I was benched a lot of time so that wasn’t a lot of positive energy. … I was like the only girl on the team so I didn’t play much,” she said. Next year, she plans to make the jump with her teammates to compete at the senior B level. “The idea (for the mural) came really smoothly.The hardest part was painting it, because you have to get the details right, with the surface,” she said. “I feel like I did a good job. Personally, I don’t think I did a good job, but when I step far away from it I say that I did good.”

Home sales uptick seen across B.C. in September Although residential real estate is having a stronger resurgence of activity in Greater Vancouver, the sales uptick is being seen throughout the province, according to the latest monthly data from the B.C. Real Estate Association (BCREA). There were 6,938 home sales on the MLS across B.C. in September, the BCREA reported October 15, which is an increase of 24 per cent compared with September 2018.
“While the yearover-year increase in provincial sales was quite strong, home sales in most areas
The average home sale price in September was also higher than one year previously, up 2.1 per cent to $697,943, which is 1.8 per cent higher than in August. However, this doesn’t mean a return to the overheated housing markets of 2016, according to the BCREA. “Markets across BC built on momentum from the summer,” said Brendon Ogmundson, BCREA’s chief economist. “While the year-over-year increase in provincial sales was quite strong, home sales in most areas are simply returning to historically

Proven Success Since 1984 www.
Only two of the 12 individual real estate boards across the province failed to record higher sales in September than one year previously. These were the small market of Powell River, where sale and price percentage changes fluctuate greatly each month, and Vancouver Island, which saw 5.1 per cent fewer sales on an annual basis.
In larger markets, an increase in sales coupled with a decline in average sale price could mean that there are increasing numbers of sales at the lower to mid end of the market — perhaps as buyers take advantage of improved affordability and cheaper mortgage rates.

Even though the province’s sales and price activity over July through September has been relatively strong compared with the previous year, it was not enough to offset the slow sales of the 2019’s first half and it is certainly possible that 2019 will finish behind even the weak showing of 2018. Year-to-date, January through September, B.C. residential sales dollar volume was down 12.4 per cent to $39.7 billion, compared with the same period in 2018. Total home sales were 8.9 per cent lower at 57,773 units, and the average MLS resale price across the period was down 3.9 per cent year-to-date at $687,530.

Tracey was born in Surrey, BC, to Joan and Murray Toms.

Students Come First
The Power of Diversity
Equity, Access, Inclusion
Collaboration and Partnership
Curiosity, Innovation, Discovery
Excellence, Success, Improvement
Learners are at the centre of what we do. We focus on their lives within our schools, support them in their lives away from our schools, and keep in mind the lives they will lead in the future, recognizing that their time with us will be key in shaping their futures.
Burnaby is one of the most diverse cities in the world, and we recognize this as a privilege and a strength.We meaningfully involve all learners and respect and value the infinitely variable characteristics that make them unique human beings.
Our schools are for everyone. We recognize that barriers exist and seek to identify and remove them. We encourage our learners to speak honestly, and we uphold the rights of individuals, families and organizations within our schools and our community. We value and respect everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contributions.
We strive for trusting, respectful, collaborative relationships, and we work together to ensure we make the best decisions. The learning environment includes our learners, teachers, all staff, families and the community. We work with and encourage the participation of all.
The world we live in is complex and rapidly changing. We, our students, and the world itself are beneficiaries when questions are asked, experiments undertaken, ventures launched, and challenges embraced. Our classrooms and school communities foster curiosity, innovation, and discovery.
We challenge ourselves and our learners to make their highest contribution, and we foster opportunities to make this possible. We celebrate success and recognize that there are many ways to define and achieve it. Working collaboratively, we challenge ourselves and our learners to improve, as individuals and as a group. Along with these ideals, we place an equal emphasis on health and well-being as it is required to support all of our contributions and achievements.
