Marissa Shen murder case going straight to trial

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The case against the man accused of murdering 13-year-old Burnaby resident Marissa Shen will go straight to trial without being tested at a preliminary hearing. Ibrahim Ali, 29, was charged with first-degree murder in Shen’s death last September after a 14-month homicide investigation. The girl’s body was found

in a wooded area in Central Park on July 19, 2017 after her family had reported her missing a few hours earlier. Dates were set this past June for a 12-day preliminary inquiry starting on Nov. 25. Such inquiries are typically held before criminal trials to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial. But Ali’s preliminary hearing was cancelled last month after Crown prosecutors filed a direct indict-

ment against him on Oct. 19. Prosecutors can seek approval from the attorney general’s office to go straight to trial with serious cases via a direct indictment under more than a dozen special circumstances, including cases where there would be a significant danger of psychological or physical harm to either victims or witnesses if they had to participate in multiple court proceedings. In an emailed statement,

B.C. Prosecution Service spokesperson Alisia Adams said she couldn’t comment on specific reasons the Crown chose to proceed by direct indictment in Ali’s case because such decisions are “exercises of prosecutorial discretion” and because the matter is currently before the court. Ali’s lawyer,Veen Aldosky, said the defence had prepared for a preliminary hearing. “All that preparation now is for naught,” she said. “A

preliminary hearing gives us an opportunity to have the Crown marshal some evidence that we can test in a court of law, and we’ve lost that chance now.” But Aldosky stopped short of calling the move unfair to her client. “I trust the Crown that the decision is not taken lightly,” she said. “It’s unfortunate that we won’t have the opportunity to have a preliminary hearing, but this is just the way things go sometimes.”

Eat your heart (and soul) out

Ali appeared in Vancouver Supreme Court on Oct. 30 by video link from the North Fraser Pre-Trial Centre, where he has been held since shortly after his arrest in September 2018. A pretrial conference for setting his trial dates is currently scheduled for Nov. 13, but Adams said that appearance will likely be rescheduled. Once a trial date is set, Ali will have his case heard before a judge and a jury.

City SAFETY

Police issue warning after two pedestrians hit Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP is urging motorists and pedestrians to be vigilant, especially in the early morning hours, after two pedestrians were hit within minutes of each other in different parts of the city last week. An 18-year-old man sustained serious, life-threatening injuries on Oct. 30 when he was hit by a westbound car on 10th Avenue and 18th Street just before 7 a.m. The driver, who was uninjured, remained at the scene. Burnaby RCMP is investigating the collision and would like to talk to anyone who saw it or might have dashcam video of it. Within minutes of that crash, another pedestrian, a 19-year-old woman, was hit at an intersection in another part of the city. The woman had been crossing Manchester Drive

by Government when she was hit by a vehicle making a left turn from Government. Police say she was taken

to hospital with minor injuries. The driver remained on scene and was ticketed for failing to signal for a left

turn. “Both of these collisions serve as a reminder for both pedestrians and drivers to be vigilant, particularly in

the early hours of the morning,” RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar said in a press release. “We’re asking for people in our community to

please take the time to think about they can do for their own safety and the safety of other road users before they begin their morning commute.” If you saw either of these incidents, call Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999. Or contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222TIPS (8477) 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. DRIVER ADVICE: ! Slow down and always follow posted speed limits. ! Slow down well in advance of crosswalks to ensure no pedestrians are about to walk out. ! Keep your eyes on the road, never drive distracted. ! Look for pedestrians and then look again.

HOUSING

BC Housing blames city’s ‘onerous’ process for project delays Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley spoke with pride at the official opening of Norland Place, the city’s first modular housing project for people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. “For too long, people have been literally left out in the cold,” he said at a press conference on Oct. 25. “For the community, it is a signal that the City of Burnaby is committed to public safety and ensuring there is a place here for everyone.” But the 52-unit supportive housing project on Norland Avenue near Highway 1 was opening seven months behind schedule and the City of Burnaby’s “onerous” processes played a key part in the delays, according to email exchanges between BC Housing and the city obtained by the NOW via a freedom of information request. The project was first announced in May 2018, with the province committing $7.6 million as part of its Rapid Response to Homelessness Program. At the time, the estimated comple-

tion date was March 2019. Once the site was prepared, BC Housing expected to build the project in a matter of weeks by using prefabricated modular units. In late February 2019, with the project’s completion nowhere in sight, a City of Burnaby staffer emailed BC Housing asking what accounted for the delays and what was being done about it. Naomi Brunemeyer, BC Housing’s director of development for the Lower Mainland, responded, saying Burnaby’s processes “came in piecemeal” and were “much more onerous (than) other municipalities.” BC Housing had just sent the last batch of fees and legal documents required by the city, Brunemeyer wrote at the time. “I see these to be the final impediments. I think the fact that we approved the project and kept our consultants working without knowing the final expectations of the (City of Burnaby) and impact on the costs was how we mitigated further delay.” She acknowledged issues with removal of invasive knotweed and “extensive

engineering requirements on the site” also contributed to delays. Further emails between Burnaby and the housing agency show BC Housing staff struggling to comply with the municipality’s bureaucratic requirements both before and after Brunemeyer’s email. Before the project was made public, BC Housing emailed the city at least twice to say its survey team was “ready to go” but its crew was awaiting a permit to access the city-owned lot. Burnaby then informed BC Housing it needed a liability waiver as part of an access agreement. The terms were met and the team was eventually granted access. By September 2018, following city council rezoning approvals, Burnaby city staff emailed BC Housing with “good news” – an encroachment permit for Norland Place was ready. All the agency had to do was post a $13,500 bond and pay a $300 processing fee. BC Housing development manager Joshua Broadhead wrote back to say he was “a little confused” by the request for money be-

cause Burnaby city council had agreed to cover its own permitting fees to help get the affordable housing built. “If you were able to revisit/waive this requirement it would be appreciated,” he wrote. A city staffer explained BC Housing had to pay all the fees upfront and they would be reimbursed later. In April 2019, a BC Housing manager emailed the city, seeking an update on the final building permit: “I was under the impression that we would have this permit now, but I have again been informed that we still don’t have a date to pick it

up.” Any response to the email from the city was not included in the records obtained by the NOW. In a statement to the NOW, BC Housing said it “values” its relationship with Burnaby and together the two are building 900 new affordable homes. “The Norland Avenue supportive home project was held up due to multiple reasons and the development approvals was just one of the factors.The province knows that the decadesold approval processes can be complex and can result in delays,” a BC Housing

spokesperson wrote in an email. The B.C. government is working with municipalities across the province on a pilot program to improve the development approvals process, the spokesperson said. Hurley told the NOW he wasn’t aware of any concerns BC Housing had with the city’s processes, saying he believed the primary source of delays at Norland were knotweed and delivery of the modular units built in the Interior. Asked about the process requiring BC Housing to pay fees and later have them reimbursed, Hurley said, “that’s a pretty normal process, so I don’t know why there would be confusion.” Hurley, who was elected after the project was announced, is working on a new agreement with BC Housing to get non-market housing built at six local sites (five of which are owned by the city). If Burnaby’s processes pose any roadblocks to those potential developments, Hurley said the agency should come directly to him.

City CRIME

Police seize guns, drugs in raids Stories by Cornelia Naylor cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police raids on two residences in Burnaby and Maple Ridge turned up fentanyl, cocaine, cash and a fully operational semi-automatic rifle this week. After a six-month investigation into a drug traffick-

ing network selling fentanyl and cocaine, Burnaby RCMP’s drug section executed two search warrants on Oct. 30 in Burnaby and Maple Ridge, according to a police press release. Officers seized several ounces of suspected cocaine and fentanyl, $20,000 cash, numerous replica handguns

and the assault rifle. Three individuals were arrested. They now face a number of charges, including trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking and various weapons charges. “The public safety risks associated to this type of criminal activity cannot be

overstated,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar said in the release. “The seizure of these firearms has significantly increased the safety of the public and all law enforcement that work tirelessly to disrupt the illegal drug trade and stem the associated violence.” Panesar said it was particularly worrisome how authentic the replica handguns appeared even to the investigators.

Jury to be selected in case of murdered Burnaby mom A jury will be selected in February, 2020 to decide the fate of ex-B.C. Lions player Josh Boden, who is accused of killing his ex-girlfriend in Burnaby more than 10 years ago. The body of 33-year-old Kimberly Lynn Hallgarth, the mother of a young daughter, was found in a Colborne Avenue fourplex in March 2009. She was found with “suspicious injuries,” according to police, and the case was taken over by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Boden had been considered a “person of interest” early on, according to police, but he was not charged until last November, when IHIT announced it had new evidence, and a charge of second-degree murder had been approved.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Bus shutdown could damage recent transit gains With job action by bus drivers escalating, commuters are seeing just how important transit service is to Metro Vancouver. After Unifor issued 72hour strike notice, a ban on overtime has heavily impacted SeaBus service through mass cancellations. Metro Vancouver’s transit system is recognized as one of the best in North America, and with the strengthening of the SkyTrain system, the backbone of transit – bus ridership – is constantly

on the rise. The number of people taking the bus rose 5.7 per cent in the northeast sector in 2018, behind the southeast (North Delta, Surrey, Langley and White Rock), which jumped 15.6 per cent, and the southwest (Richmond, South Delta), which increased 8.8 per cent. System-wide, total boardings went up 7.1 per cent in 2018, for the biggest annual increase in the organization’s history.

Does Coast Mountain want to lose those gains? Probably not. What’s at stake? The future of transit. Without bus service, especially connections to SkyTrain, our transit system becomes truncated, forcing more people to use their cars or come up with other alternatives that will make getting to work, school and appointments more challenging and difficult. If the service isn’t running, commuters will sim-

ply give up, a boon to ridehailing services, such as Lyft that may roll out to pick up the slack, while the cost to the economy would be great, especially if job action were to last as long as the four months it did in 2001. Still, there is probably room to move on both sides, though we would never place a bet based on media statements during negotiations because both parties tend to spin and exaggerate. But there is likely plenty of truth to the union’s con-

cerns about stress on the job and the need to hire more drivers as well as put in service more buses to reduce traffic.The cost of congestion was recently highlighted in a report to the TransLink Mayors’ Council, and if we’re serious about transit, we will make the improvements necessary. It’s also true that Coast Mountain has been on a hiring spree to get buses on the road. It says it has hired more than 1,000 bus drivers in the last two years.

That’s good news, but the employer’s job doesn’t end with getting bums in seats to drive the buses. Both sides need to be brought together, with mediation a good step to avert a shutdown, and there needs to be a clear commitment from TransLink, the Mayors’ Council and the provincial government that the funding is there to ensure the reliability of bus service into the future. Now is not the time to shortchange public transit.

MY VIEW JOEL GIBBS

This land deal is an egregious giveaway Burnaby council is once again trying to sell public land near Edmonds – by trying to create an appearance of some public benefit, while hiding a massive developer giveaway. The proposal for the city to sell 6438 Byrnepark Dr. was at a previous public hearing on April 30, and there was significant opposition to the giveaway of public land without public benefit. So the city went back and cut a deal with the developer, Polygon, to give the appearance of getting some public benefit with a few rental units, while actually hiding a massive giveaway to Polygon. The updated proposal is to include 20 rental units in addition to the 102 condos, while giving Polygon an additional 27,641 square feet of density at a site in Metrotown (5900 Olive Ave.). So not only will Polygon make a (slightly more modest) profit from the 20 rental units by Edmonds, they also are being given massive profits from the additional density at the Metrotown site. This is the “benefit” Burnaby receives for selling public land: a huge giveaway to a donor-developer. Additionally, since the previous public hearing in April, Burnaby has officially declared a climate emergency and committed to 45-per-cent reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. However, this project flies in complete opposition to that by building 194 new parking spaces in an area close to both SkyTrain and frequent

bus service.This huge number of new parking spaces encourages more personal auto travel. This is a perfect example of Burnaby saying one thing with the climate emergency but actually moving in complete opposition. So what is an alternative to selling this public land and increasing GHG emissions? Well, if Burnaby wants to put in minimal money and effort, they could simply partner with the Community Land Trust, which has already partnered with a number of cities in the region and has built/is building hundreds of new units of co-op and nonmarket housing right now in Vancouver and other cities. Their biggest need is land, so if Burnaby will provide a long-term lease at a nominal cost, the trust has said they have enough other partners and resources to get the money to build and operate the new non-market housing if they can get access to land. This would guarantee long-term affordability for all the housing on this site, while also enabling the city to retain ownership of a very important asset (the land) that will be lost for a least a generation or more if it is sold now. Burnaby is in the middle of a rental and affordable housing crisis, yet here they are, attempting to sell public land which should instead be used to guarantee long-term affordable housing, while doing their best to worsen he climate crisis. Joel Gibbs ran for a seat on city council for the Burnaby Greens in 2018.

Trans Mountain oil tankers not worth you setting your hair on fire Editor: I tire of people – for example, during the election campaign, NDP candidate Svend Robinson – claiming the (Trans Mountain) tankers are a “huge and unacceptable risk” to B.C. waters. He certainly does not let facts get in the way of his story and gives zero evidence to back up this claim. Well, let’s look at the facts. Firstly, in the century-plus of oil tanker operations in B.C. waters – much or most of it before radar, GPS, double hulls, coastal pilots, escort tugs, and so on – the only spill incident from an oil tanker in B.C. waters was a loading accident with canola oil in Vancouver harbour. Secondly, there has never been a serious incident with a crude oil tanker in Canadian waters, other than war-related. There have been tanker fuel oil spills, the two major ones being on the East Coast decades ago. Thirdly, oil tankers in Canadian waters have been so safe that they ply the Great Lakes, the source of drinking water for several U.S. states and Ontario.

… it is a bit early to set our hair on ﬁre

This is no guarantee there will never be an incident, but this does to me suggest it is a bit early to set our hair on fire. John Hunter, North Vancouver

Cannabis is legal, but prohibitions remain

TRAIN FOR A NEW CAREER! Now accepting applications for the following diploma programs:

Editor: Re: Our View: Cannabis has been a puritanical mess so far, NOW, Oct. 31 As you say in “your view,” ending prohibition on cannabis was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, legality was not achieved. Only more control laws, restrictions and taxes. This is a moralistic view as governments do with booze and tobacco and gasoline. This was the intention all along, to collect sin taxes and say “what a good boy am I.” It even rubs off on others. The Arthritis Society says medical marijuana ought to be in pharmacies. Costs rise in every government in the lineup, as you say, in zoning licensing inspection and bylaw enforcement – as if any of it was needed. Government revenue all the way down the line has proven to be only a tax cost as the restrictions pile up. Who buys, who sells, who grows. The right thing to do would be to eliminate any prohibition and leave the rest, as governments and other business-minded so often say, to the market since it was already there being tended to and advocated by those already in the business. Some of those advocates have been forbidden to participate in the business they have built. Terry Smith, New Westminster

Tackle these home renovations to get rebates in B.C. INVESTING IN ENERGY-EFFICIENCY UPGRADES COULD QUALIFY YOU FOR REBATES AND BONUSES Renovating your kitchen or installing new hardwood flooring will definitely make your home look nicer, but if you’re planning on staying in your home long-term, a dollar return on the investment is unlikely. But that’s not the case with energy-efficiency upgrades and improvements.

Investing in a new high-efficiency furnace or increasing your attic insulation are major upgrades, but not only will they reduce your home’s energy costs year-after-year, you may also be eligible for rebates through FORTISBC’S HOME RENOVATION REBATE PROGRAM* AND CLEANBC HOME EFFICIENCY REBATES. And if you make two or more eligible energy-efficiency upgrades within 18 months of each other, you’ll also be eligible for their $300 twoupgrade bonus. That’s on top of your rebates. HERE’S HOW IT WORKS. Let’s say this Christmas you replace your old furnace with a rebateeligible new high-efficiency ENERGY STAR® model and FortisBC gives you a $1,000 rebate. Then next spring you have your attic insulated and get a $500 rebate from FortisBC. Because you’ve made two eligible upgrades within 18 months of each other, you’re eligible for the $300 two-upgrade bonus. All you have to do is check the bonus check box when you apply for your second rebate. So not only are you getting $1,500 in rebates and ongoing savings on your home’s heating (and possibly cooling with improved

insulation) bills for years to come, you’re also getting an extra $300 just doing two upgrades. Another option is to replace both your space and water-heating systems at the same time with a combination heating and hot water system. Even though it’s one system, it counts as two upgrades so you’d still be eligible for the $300 bonus—and you don’t have to wait until you make your next upgrade to receive the bonus. FortisBC is committed to helping customers reduce their energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions and improve the comfort of their homes.

That’s why they only provide rebates on the most efficient products and equipment and also require them to be installed to quality standards. A furnace may claim it’s 99 per cent efficient, but if it’s not installed properly, it may not work as efficiently as it was designed to. The

same goes for insulation. If it’s installed improperly, your home won’t hold in the heat as well, and poorly installed insulation could also create mold and safety hazards. To support a quality installation, FortisBC requires that furnaces be installed with a two-pipe direct vent system by a licensed gas contractor—you can ﬁnd one through their Trade Ally Network— and that insulation be installed by a licensed contractor. They even have a list of program-registered insulation contractors you can use. NOW, THAT’S ENERGY AT WORK. *Conditions apply. Not all upgrades are eligible for the $300 two-upgrade bonus. Full program terms and conditions are available at fortisbc.com/homerebates. This program may be changed or cancelled at any time.

City Vandals inﬂict $100K damage Stories by Cornelia Naylor cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police are investigating vandalism that did about $100,000 worth of damage to telecommunications lines in Burnaby last week. The telecommunications company reported suspected damage to the lines on the morning of Oct. 22, according to Burnaby RCMP.

Investigators are now hoping to speak to anyone who was in the area of the Douglas Road-Highway 1 overpass between 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 21. and 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22. “If you were driving in the area and have a dashcam or if you were in the area and noticed any suspicious activity, such as vehicles parked near the over-

pass or anyone using power tools, you are asked to contact Burnaby RCMP,” stated an RCMP press release Friday afternoon. Call Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www. solvecrime.ca.

Robber doesn’t go far on bike It took just 45 minutes for local Mounties to catch up with a man suspected of robbing a Burnaby bank Tuesday afternoon. Police got a call about the robbery at the CIBC in the 4700 block of Kingsway at about 2 p.m., according to a police press release. A man had reportedly entered the bank, handed the teller a note indicat-

ing he was robbing the bank and left with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police said a description of the man was sent to frontline officers, and – about 45 minutes later – a school liaison officer spotted a man matching the description riding a bike near Royal Oak Avenue and Gilpin Street. The officer tried to speak

Officers cleared in balcony case Suspect fell from 11th floor Cornelia Naylor

B.C.’s police watchdog has cleared officers of wrongdoing after a raid on a Burnaby apartment building this summer that resulted in a man falling from an 11th floor balcony. At about 10:40 p.m. on July 4, the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team moved in on the Sanders Street apartment to deal with an alleged hostage situation, according to police. When police entered the residence, three men exited over the balcony of the 11th-floor apartment, police said. While two men were arrested without incident on lower floors, one man fell to the ground and suffered serious injuries, police said. The alleged kidnapping victim was located un-

harmed. The Independent Investigations Office, which investigates police incidents that result in serious harm or death, investigated the case. On Thursday it announced it had reviewed all of the evidence and relevant law and concluded none of the officers committed an offence. Because there is an ongoing investigation into the alleged kidnapping, however, the IIO won’t release a detailed report on the case until after that matter is concluded. “As the matter is before the courts, the IIO will not comment on the details of the case or the evidence considered in reaching this decision,” stated a press release. None of the suspects being investigated has been identified.

Burnaby firefighters were at a local recycling facility this weekend practising pulling people from cars squished under heavy transport trucks. It’s a scenario fraught with hazards for firefighters and crash victims alike, according to fire Captain Kris Anderson, the lead instructor. “When you’re dealing with really heavy objects like that, it requires some specialized training to keep everyone safe,” he said. Motor vehicle accidents make up a large percentage of the fire department’s calls, he said, and firefighters have to be ready for anything. “Being that Burnaby’s such a

busy transportation hub, we have a lot of different vehicles moving through the community, so we want to prepare our people across the board,” he said. The firefighters who took part in Sunday’s training session are actually new instructors who will teach other firefighters what they learned as part of their ongoing training, according to Anderson. In the past, he said, such training has mostly taken place at the Burnaby Fire Department’s training facility at Fire Hall 1. This year, however, instructors got to set up two scenarios at ABC Recycling in the Big Bend area, thanks to the generosity of general manager Jason Copak. Both simulations involved a heavy transport truck – a tanker and a semi-trailer – that had rolled

onto a passenger vehicle. Firefighters learned to stabilize and even lift the heavy trucks with special heavy-rescue equipment. “It opens up a whole avenue of training,” Anderson said of training at the recycling facility. “It certainly assists us to be able to go down there because they have a multitude of old heavy trucks and any number of things.” Mundie’s Towing general manager Rick Pennington was also on hand with one of that company’s heavy duty recovery trucks. Anderson said the fire department works with local service providers like Mundie’s during real rescues if one of their heavy trucks is available, but the fire department is also equipped to go it alone if need be.

courage and bravery without concern for their own personal safety. Only four such awards have been handed out by the Office of the Fire Commissioner in the last 10 years.The last awards were handed out in 2011, 2014 and 2017. “I’m very pleased that this Medal of Bravery has been awarded to Captain Robertson,” said acting B.C. fire commissioner Jay Brownlee. “His actions demonstrate his dedication to duty in protecting the residents of Burnaby.

A 22-year veteran of the Burnaby Fire Department has been awarded a rare medal of bravery for pulling an elderly man from the doorway of his burning house last year. Fire crews responded to a house fire in the 6100 block of Sumas Street at about 2 a.m. on March 30, 2018. Captain Wade Robertson was there and spotted the resident of the home, an older man, running back into the building through heavy fire and smoke at the doorway. “He gave chase without hesitation,” stated a press release from the Office of the Fire Commissioner about Robertson’s commendation. “Battling through smoke and flames, Robertson found the resident hanging onto an interior railing. Despite the intense heat and smoke, Robertson pried the resident’s hands from the railing and carried him out to safety.” The man was revived and treated for smoke inhalation and burns, according to comments from assistant fire Chief DaveYounger at the time. He said Robertson came away with a scorched face near his ear. “It’s truly an honour to be

City now If you’re a parent, Daylight Saving Time isn’t ‘saving’ you anything Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

At first, like every naive parent, I was excited to “fall back” on Sunday morning. In my mind, this season’s time change meant an extra hour in bed, and hopefully an extra hour early to bed too. But then I remembered that I have three young children and a puppy, and the “daylight saving” dread set in. While daylight saving time may provide us with an added hour of evening sun in the summer months, and brighter mornings in the fall, the time change certainly doesn’t save my sanity as a parent.With the onehour shift comes a slew of schedule setbacks – meals at off-hours, waking in the wee hours of the morning and bedtimes that feel an hour too late. For as long as I can remember, the twice-a-year tradition had sparked the

same old controversial conversation: do we get to sleep in, or do we have to wake up earlier once the clocks have changed? And these questions usually lead to a long-winded tongue twister about feelings. “OK, so if we set the clocks forward, then it feels like it’s 6 a.m., but really it’s 7 a.m.?” I would ask my best friend every year as the time change in spring arrived. And in the fall, we would engage in a back-and-forth conversation about whether or not we would gain an hour of sleep once we were to “fall back” our clocks. Now that we’re both moms, we care less about the specifics, and we just want to know if the shift is going to grant us or deny us the extra hour of sleep we deserve, because for parents, we know that sleep is sacred – and seldom. As a mom, I may be rushing around changing the clocks and planning around prolonged adjustments, but

nothing can prepare me for the repercussions that are about to arise. Because I know that with the change comes a few days of futility. I’m done with DST, and I know that it’s not just the parents who are fed up with the fall switch. According to a recent article in The Globe & Mail titled, “Turn back the clock on Daylight Savings:Why Standard Time all year round is the healthy choice,” a science-backed argument can be made for putting an end to the time change challenges that we face twice a year. “After time switches, particularly the ‘spring forward,’ there are increased rates of car accidents, heart attacks, strokes and workplace injuries,” explain the authors of the article. In further explaining how even a one-hour change can affect our overall performance, the authors continue to say that historically, “Our body clocks would be in sync with the sun clock.

The problem is that we live in societies that force us to get up and go to work or school at times that we don’t get to choose. Chronobiologists, the name given to scientists who study biological timing, call this situation ‘social jet lag,’ when the body clock doesn’t match the social clock.” While our bodies are made to wake, perform and sleep with the rising and setting of the sun, it just isn’t so in today’s world. The article concludes with, “As Canadian biological rhythm researchers supporting evidence-based policy, we strongly recommend a switch to permanent Standard Time,” and I concur.

Show your respect and wear your poppy with pride Poppies are worn with pride throughout the Remembrance period – the last Friday in October until Nov. 11 – in honour of veterans. The Royal Canadian Legion encourages Canadians to be respectful of the lapel poppy and to wear it correctly. Poppies should be worn on the left side of the chest – over the heart – and should not be secured by any other pins besides the one already attached. They can be worn until the evening of Remembrance Day, but often ceremony participants remove their poppies to place them on the cenotaph or on a wreath as a sign of respect following the service. The Legion encourages anyone who finds fallen poppies on the ground to pick them up and brush them off so they can be disposed of respectfully. The black-centred red flower can also be worn on

other occasions such as funerals of veterans, memorial services, the anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge or other occasions that commemorate fallen soldiers. Leading up to Remembrance Day, there will be cadets around our community collecting donations for the Poppy Fund. “Seven hundred-fifty air,

army and sea cadets will be supporting the Legion’s Poppy Campaign throughout the city,” said Capt. Cheryl Major, spokesperson for the Regional Cadet Support Unit. Poppies are free, but donations are welcome to support Canada’s veterans and their families.

special to the NOW

Ten thousand military planes were flown from Canada to Britain during the SecondWorldWar. Civilian pilots, many of them women, were paid $500 to $1,000 to deliver these planes over the worn torn Atlantic, with 20 per cent dying en route. There were firefighters, doctors, nurses and “Rosie Riveters” working at the front and in the war factories here at home. My father was one of these Canadian civilians who contributed to the war effort. In a special to The Globe and Mail on Dad’s death in 2004,Tom Hawthorn wrote a detailed obituary saying, “Don Hings was a selftaught electronics wizard who modified his two-way radio into the walkie-talkie that saved the lives of untold Allied soldiers in the Second WorldWar. AToronto newspaper’s headline captured the awe: ‘Miraculous walkie-talkie like quarterback to army.’”

Dad used a Dictaphone for his reports and correspondence when I worked as his secretary in the 1960s. He also dictated stories of his adventures, which I transcribed. Here is a small excerpt from hisWar Stories: “On the British Home Front – 1941: On the train going to London a large group of Navy sailors squeezed in with an assortment of passengers.They were mostly common Naval seamen, youngsters who had been in a naval skirmish, and their cockney banter was hard to follow.They apparently were on a leave home authorized by their medic after they had spent time in the sea. “One said to another, ‘I thought I was goin’ to bloody well freeze and I kep’ wavin’ so som’un might see me. I figured I was fish chuck. I don’ know if the ol’ place still has a roof on it.’Then one leaned over and said, ‘The birds will be there,’ and they all laughed and slapped each other while cigarettes were handed around.

“I checked in at Canadian Military Headquarters at Canada House. Upon being escorted to my room I noticed a large bomb hole existed where the neighbouring room should have been, but I was too weary to care (after a 22-hour flight) and was soon asleep.” Dad’s contribution to the war effort was major, and despite being made a lifetime honorary member of the Canadian Signal Corp, he did not qualify for any veterans’ benefits. He even had to sue the government for the rights to his patent in the case of Hings versus the King, which he won. The settlement was $5,000, which only covered his legal fees. No matter, he remained patriotic and continued his life of invention, acquiring over 50 patents in electronics and geophysics. While we remember and honour the sacrifices of our uniformed soldiers, let us also not forget the huge contribution made by civilians. ML Burke retired from the health sector to work on issues such as affordable housing.

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A new mural in South Burnaby is serving as a poignant reminder of Canadians who have served the country in war. The painting on the side of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 83 depicts four soldiers in the clouds above a poppy field graveyard. A Canadian flag, the silhouette of a saluting cadet and the phrase “Lest we forget” also adorn the mural. The four soldiers each represent those who died in combat in four different conflicts: the First World War, Second World War, Korean War and the War in Afghanistan. The painting does not depict specific fallen fighters but instead represents the many who fell in each war, Legion president Barry Schnerch explained. Schnerch commissioned the mural from artists Ela Maftei and Mihai Darvasa. The mural was painted

to remind passersby of the sacrifices Canadian soldiers have made and the work the Legion continues to do to support veterans and their families, he said. “You have Remembrance

Day, which is one day out of the full year,” Schnerch said, noting that the mural will stand year-round. “They didn’t just fight one day. They fought all year round.” Scherch said he’s already

City now Don’t go viral – just get your ﬂu shot already Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Going viral isn’t cool, not when it comes to the flu. That’s the message the Fraser Health Authority is hoping to get out this flu season. The health authority launched its annual flu immunization campaign Monday, urging local residents to get a flu shot. Shots are now available at Burnaby doctors’ offices, walk-in clinics, public health-led flu clinics and Urgent Primary Care Centres. Anyone five years of age or older can also be immunized at a pharmacy. Families with children under the age of five, however, should make an appointment with their family doctor or with the Burnaby public health unit at 3004946 Canada Way. Phone 604-918-7605. “This is one of those times when ‘going viral’ is

not cool,” Fraser Health medical health officer Dr. Aamir Bharmal said in a press release. “Instead, help protect vulnerable members of our communities including infants, young children, pregnant women, and people with underlying health conditions, by getting your flu shot.” The flu shot is recommended for everyone six months of age and older. It’s free for all children between six months and five years old, seniors 65 years and older, pregnant women, Indigenous people and individuals with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems. People who work or live with people who have a higher risk of complications from the flu and visitors to health care facilities are also eligible for a free vaccine. But be prepared to get poked with a needle, since the FluMist intranasal version of the vaccine won’t be available in Canada this year

We’re planning to upgrade our gas meters

because of a global shortage caused by a shortage of the active ingredient, according to the Drug Shortages Canada website. People who decide not to get vaccinated should be prepared to wear a mask starting Dec. 1 if they’re visiting a Fraser Health facility. Influenza is a virus that causes infection of the upper airway and can lead to symptoms of fever, headache, fatigue, muscle aches and cough. Complications from influenza, such as pneumonia, are more common in the very young, the elderly and those with heart, lung or other health conditions. Influenza is easily spread from person to person, and an infected person can spread the virus before they are even sick with symptoms. To find a flu clinic near you, see immunizebc.ca and use the Find a Clinic menu.

Come to an information session to learn more We are engaging with communities about our plan to apply to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to upgrade our gas meters to new advanced meters. We’re hosting information sessions across B.C. including Burnaby on November 13 and Abbotsford on November 20. Learn more at fortisbc.com/gasmeters. Can’t make it to an information session?

Housing crunch: The housing situation on Burnaby Mountain is getting a boost from a new project at SFU. PHOTO FILES

Join us for a special one-day hiring event. We provide the food and entertainment and you walk away with a new job at Amazon!

SFU to get more housing Future students at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus will have access to hundreds more on-campus housing beds to try and fill a housing shortage. The Province of B.C. announced Friday morning a $104-million project that is scheduled to open in fall 2022 and will provide homes for an additional 369 first-year students.This includes a $73-million loan for SFU to build the new student housing facility. There is a growing shortage of student housing at SFU.This year, the university received 3,026 applications for 1,554 student spac-

es. Burnaby’s rental market had a vacancy of less than two per cent in 2018. “By providing more student housing at postsecondary campuses throughout the province, government is taking some of the pressure off students, while freeing up affordable rentals for people in communities like Burnaby, where there are low vacancy rates,” said Premier John Horgan. “This new housing at SFU is part of a six-year, $450-million investment to provide about 5,000 new beds at public post-secondary schools throughout B.C.”

The plan allows public post-secondary institutions around the province to help finance student housing projects. Since February 2018, the province has funded an additional 1,971 student beds. “This support for new student residences is a winwin for the university and the community,” said Andrew Petter, president and vice-chancellor, SFU. “Not only will it significantly improve the quality of campus life for students, but it will also reduce pressure on the region’s housing market for the benefit of the communities we serve.”

New Asian grocery store is coming to town ng Servi h t Nor aby Burn

Terence Fong has a simple explanation for the name Sungiven Foods – the moniker for a global Asian grocery store chain g hat is moving into North Burnth aby soon. Sungiven’s senior vice-president for Canada says it has to do with the sun giving so much nutrition to many of the items the chain sells to customers. “We want to be more natural,” Fong says. “We offer healthy daily meals that are less processed and at a reasonable price.” a Work is progressing at Sungiven’s future store at the corner of Hastings and Gilmore in Burnaby Heights – with 6,300 square feet of space planned in a former credit union building. Fong says he expect the Burnaby store to be open in early 2020 but can’t give a more specific date because the company

still has to go through the permit and inspection process with the City of Burnaby. The Burnaby store is part of the company’s first foray into the Metro Vancouver area. A 13,000-sq.-ft. store will be located at the Vancouver City Square shopping centre (555 West 12th Ave., Vancouver) and opens in November. A third store will open at 3301 West Broadway in Vancouver. Sungiven is taking on the T&T chain of stores – the company has a store at Metrotown. North Burnaby was chosen because the company surveyed residents who said they have to travel all the way to South Burnaby to find the specialty ingredients they crave, Fong said. “We got a lot of feedback from the community about this,” Fong said.

*0+(+. )&,!/%#, "++')

An inside view of a Sungiven Foods store. The chain is moving into Burnaby Heights in early 2020. The company is positioning itself to take on the Asian food giant T&T.

The North Burnaby store will feature everything you would expect to find at your favourite market, including specialty items and hot foods, alongside daily fresh bakery items, seafood and meats. They will also serve customers the company’s range of high-quality healthconscious private brand products. The store will also be looking to hire dozens of staff before it opens, Fong said. Sungiven has deep roots already in Burnaby. The company’s headquarters and R&D facility are in South Burnaby on Marine Way.

The company’s founders also came up with the concept while living and going to school in North Burnaby in 2004. They took the concept back to China and opened more than 100 stores there before coming back to Metro Vancouver to open new stores. Plans are also in development to open up to 10 to 15 additional locations in Metro Vancouver in the future. “We know it is not just what you buy that matters, but who you buy it from,” says Sungiven Foods co-founder Kathy Su. “Our goal is to become the friendly family-orientated grocery store for people across the

Lower Mainland. That is why instead of opening a big box store, we are building locations across Metro Vancouver so that we can be a part of the communities that we are serving. “We have spent a lot of time in Vancouver and have always been inspired by the city’s approach to food. High-quality, healthy, all-natural ingredients are prized on the West Coast and we decided to incorporate that philosophy into our stores. Now we are looking forward to sharing our community-driven Asian grocery store concept with the people and places that helped to inspire it.”

Remembering those who served Soﬁya Ikponmwosa special to the NOW

This month is a time of remembrance and reflection. Poppies are worn as a symbol of all the sacrifices made by brave Canadian men and women who made it possible for our country to be strong and free. Lest we forget that the peaceful lives that we lead and the freedoms we enjoy would not be possible without the help and sacrifice of our military and veterans. We are beyond fortunate to have numerous rights and freedoms in our nation, such

as equality and freedom of speech and religion. The diversity and peace we share makes our country a hospitable place to reside and work. Walking down the street, you can hear passersby speaking a variety of different languages spanning the globe. You can see everyone from children on their way to school, exercising their freedom to have an education, to men and women enjoying freedom of expression. Having such privileges makes communities like the Heights safe, serene places to live. In Burnaby Heights, we as a

community are honoured to remember the sacrifices made by our military and veterans on Monday, Nov. 11, at 10:45 a.m. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 148 will lead a procession starting at McGill library parking lot at Albert and Alpha and ending at Confederation Park. Following the procession, there will be a Remembrance Day ceremony at 11 a.m. at Confederation Park Cenotaph, on the north end of the park. Sofiya Ikponmwosa is the marketing and events assistant for summer 2019 at the Heights Merchants Association.

Artsnow Burnaby performer stars in The Sound of Music The Stanley Theatre is about to come alive with the sound of music – and a Burnaby performer will be front and centre for the occasion. Burnaby’s SynthiaYusuf stars as Maria in the Arts Club Theatre Company production of The Sound of Music, running Nov. 7 to Jan. 5. The legendary musical – which first ran on Broadway in 1959 and was made into a 1965 film starring Julie Andrews – features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II and book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The Sound of Music brims with beloved tunes such as My Favorite Things, Do-ReMi, Climb Ev’ry Mountain and Edelweiss – and, fittingly, the Arts Club is offering sing-along performances for those audience members who just can’t stop themselves from singing along. (If you’re one of them, those performances are on Dec. 26 and Jan. 4.)

Artsnow Burnaby artists taking part in Eastside Culture Crawl

Burnaby artists are among those featured in the 23rd annual Eastside Culture Crawl. The annual event features more than 500 visual artists opening their studios, workspaces, garages and homes to visitors, all across the Vancouver Eastside. It runs from Thursday, Nov. 14 to Sunday, Nov. 17, with venues open from 5 to 10 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. “Each year, we welcome visitors to discover the creativity and richness of the Eastside arts district,” said Esther Rausenberg, executive director of the Eastside Culture Crawl, in a press release. “For our 23rd annual Crawl, we are also im-

parting an urgent message through our new Displacement exhibition that this vibrant community needs more support. As Vancouver’s artists continue to face immense hardships such as renovictions, rising rents and dwindling studio availability, it’s imperative we come together to protect creative spaces and celebrate the integrity of this incredible, industrious community and recognize the positive impact artists have on our society.” The Crawl offers visitors a behind-the-scenes look at life as an artist, allowing them to see a wide range of artistic offerings – including painting, sculpture, pottery, photography, jewelry, glass art, furniture and more.

Behind the scenes: Iris Mes-Low of Burnaby is one of the artists featured on this year’s Eastside Culture Crawl, coming up Thursday, Nov. 14 to Sunday, Nov. 17. Mes-Low works out of Williams Clark Studios in East Van.

Among the Burnabyconnected artists who’ll be opening their doors for the Crawl are: Iris Mes-Low: MesLow, who immigrated to Canada from the Netherlands in the 1990s, paints surrealistic abstractions of West Coast landscapes. She works out of William Clark Studios, 1310 William St. David Tycho: Tycho was born and raised in Burnaby and is a graduate of

Burnaby Central Secondary School.Tycho’s work has straddled the genres of abstraction and representation, and his inspiration and subjects are varied – urban sprawl, pristine wilderness areas and the people he encounters in those spaces. He’s showing his work at Parker Street Studios, 1000 Parker St., Studio 430. Kayan Hamadeh: Hamadeh specializes in portraits and figurative work

Perfect record earns Knights ﬁrst round bye

STM enters AAA playoffs in fine form Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

If they were under-estimated and relegated to the second tier of ranked teams earlier in the season, the St.Thomas More Knights are in the B.C. High School AAA Football League spotlight now. Although given short-shrift at the start of the season and locked into the No. 5 ranking for the better part of the past month, the Knights completed the regular season with a perfect 7-0 record, topping one-time No. 1-rated Lord Tweedsmuir 34-14 at Burnaby Lake. It sets the table for their next game, likely Nov. 15 against the winner of this week’s playoff opening round tilt between Mount Douglas and Seaquam. As one of only three AAA teams to go undefeated – No. 1 South Delta, at 7-0, and Rutland at 6-0 – the now ranked No. 3 Knights have earned all the attention they’ll get from here on. Led by a determined and flexible defensive line, STM did the necessary ‘bend, not break’ routine against a feisty Panthers crew, building a 27-0 lead in the first half.Two of those majors were of the pick-six variety – the second week in a row the secondary has struck twice. “It was one of those nights where everything clicked,” remarked head coach Steve De Lazzari. “(Defensive co-ordinator Jared Power’s) defensive scheme for what Tweedsmuir was doing all season was perfect.That really led to our two interceptions in terms of our disguised coverage.” Grade 11 running back Nick Osho unlocked the door early in the second quarter, dashing 90 yards to put the ball inside the Panthers’ 10-yard line, from where Jack Wagner took it to the bank a few plays later. It was the first of two five-yard bolts by Wagner, sandwiched around Rickey Par-

sons’ third interception-for-touchdown in the past two games. Before halftime, Gabe Nacario got into the act with his own picksix, this time a 50-yard return that put the score 27-0. “It’s an unbelievable feeling when they get a pick (for TD) – Gabe and Rickey are amazing players.They showed it again today. Every time they get a pick it seems it’s going to the house,” said Osho. Alex Cordeiro rounded out the offence with a 32-yard TD catch

in the fourth quarter. “It was definitely a big game for us. Going into the last game of the season as a senior, I had my mind set on winning this game. Nothing else mattered, and I’m happy with the outcome,” remarked Wagner, who also led the team with nine tackles. Cordeiro finished with seven tackles In his first year as senior QB, Anthony De Lazzari said the team has really gelled over the past two months. Just 1-2 in exhibition action, the Knights have only grown

tighter, sharper and stronger over the past eight weeks. “We want to keep on going, that’s all there is to it,” he said. “We’ve been put into a position where we can have a lot of success, and it’s starting to show through. I know coach De Lazzari after games against (Terry) Fox and Kelowna he just kept on saying, ‘Guys, two things – realize your potential and clean things up.’That’s what we’ve tried to do every week, and it really came through this week.”

Osho finished with 201 yards on 16 carries. The Knights now get a bye through the first round, with an extra week to heal and prepare for a possible quarterfinal rematch against 2018 Subway Bowl champion Mount Doug. “Mount Doug is an outstanding program and they’re very well coached,” noted coach De Lazzari. “We know traditionally they peak in the playoffs, so that’s going to be the message. ... Hopefully we can come out with the W.”

Wildcats pad gym wall with two more volleyball banners Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Clear some wall space, the Burnaby Central Wildcats have two new banners to hang. The school’s senior boys and girls teams entered Tuesday’s Burnaby-New West volleyball championships with differing storylines – one a hungry underdog, the other a heavy favourite – and racked up a sweet sweep to take the league’s top berths for next week’s zones. In what were marathon decisions at opposite ends of the district, Burnaby Central players came together, after the senior girls’ final went past 10 p.m., to celebrate the double win.

CENTRAL BEAR CLAWS FOR GIRLS TITLE The Burnaby Central senior girls faced both internal and external tests en route to a 3-0 win over Burnaby North in the league playoff final at Burnaby Central. When you expect to win, one of the best tools in your toolbox is confidence.There’s no doubt that the Wildcats have that.They also have the fortitude to not throw it around. In the first two sets against North, the visiting Vikings kept pace in the early going before the Wildcats caught fire. After going 7-0 in the regular season, with just one set loss, the Wildcats’ confidence was pretty strong. But the team is all about not taking anything for granted.

“We just try to keep as humble as possible.We knew North was one of the top teams so we tried our best and came out on top. I’m super grateful for that,” remarked Wildcats captain Anna Park. With the first game knotted at 11, Alysha Sidhu delivered a momentum turning smash to the back row that started the 14-3 run. She followed that with a big block at the net to make it 14-11. In the second set, Sidhu and Park blocked a North net shot to break a 9-9 stalemate, igniting a 16-6 march. They wrapped it up 25-12 in the third set, with Park digging out a centre ball that Clair Wang buried to trigger a 12-5 closing drive.

Earning all-star honours were Park and libero Megan Cao, and North’s Audrey Tsung and Taylor Tucci. Central head coach Sharon Snow said the core leaders of this year’s Wildcats are still benefitting from their raw introduction to the B.C. AAAA level two years ago, as Grade 10s.They debuted with a league banner, and now close it out with another. “We set a solid game plan; we knew what we wanted to do.We knew how we wanted to execute.We spent most of the season setting up that game plan, executing it as best we could and staying with it.We didn’t want to get caught up with other things,” said Snow.

Boys rallied from brink of elimination

Continued from page 42 That they melded well with the incoming Grade 10s and 11s, who spent last season under the tutelage of assistant coach John Wong, was another vital part, she noted. “Bringing them together and saying, this is what we’re going to do, this is the system, and having the kids buy into it, and having my seniors care about it, not worry about making mistakes, let’s move on,” said Snow. While they’ve bolstered their resume with strong tournament showings, including a couple of titles, the lone blemish in league play – a lost set against Moscrop – was a constant reminder of what they need to do. “That definitely did shake us, but again, it bent us and didn’t break us,” recalled Park. “We need to keep pushing, we need to keep trying to get more goals and we need (to) achieve on top. That’s the only thing we need to do.We have to keep motivating ourselves and stay strong as a team together.” Burnaby Central will play host to next week’s Fraser North zone tournament, where the top teams from Burnaby-New West, Coquitlam and Maple Ridge districts will battle for berths

to the provincials. WILDCATS GIVE GOOD UNDERDOG IMPRESSION When the final spike was hit, the Burnaby Central Wildcats stood kings of the Burnaby-New West senior boys volleyball court. The Wildcats, who finished tied for second place in regular season play, bested Moscrop 3-1 in the AAA final in New Westminster, capping an impressive week where they had two big character reveals. After staking out a 2-0 lead in the final, Central found itself staring at a huge 2-16 hole as the Panthers put in a charge to get back in the game. Instead of folding and looking towards the fourth set, the Wildcats put up a valiant battle before falling 23-25.They’d carry that momentum into the fourth set and claim the title with a 25-20 decision. “We said, ‘Don’t worry about the beginning, focus on what you just did, coming back (from 16-2), and that’s the team we want on the court,’ ” recalled Central coach Graham Hendry. Before they had that clarity, the Wildcats faced another dilemma in last week’s quarterfinals. Down 2-1 to Burnaby Mountain, Central had its back to the wall in a 23-24 hole, with season-ending elimination just a point away. “We were one-point away

from losing the entire season but we came back that set and won the next set 1511.That was close,” said captain William Jin. It was just another demonstration of resolve and redemption, with some veterans recalling how Moscrop had taken them out in last year’s league final. “Last year we were ranked at our peak seventh (in B.C.) at one time, so we were a fine team. Moscrop was equally as strong, ranked fourth and finished fourth,” recalled Jin of 2018. It’s a different feeling this time around. “It feels amazing, honestly. It doesn’t feel like real life. I’ve been thinking about it since the summer, planning out the season.” Just a few weeks ago,

Burnaby Central made the provincial AAA rankings as an honourable mention. In 13th place and a regular member of the top-15 list, rival New Westminster, was upset by Moscrop in

the semifinal.The Hyacks rebounded to place third, beating Burnaby North. All four teams advance to the zone playdowns. The North Fraser zone tournament will kick off

Exhausted and still slightly disappointed, the Moscrop Panthers and Burnaby South Rebels gave it a mammoth effort Tuesday in the Burnaby-New West senior girls bronze medal match. Disappointed by losses a day earlier, the teams went toe-to-toe, with Moscrop pulling out a 3-2 victory. Christina Nieh’s smash tipped off a Rebel defender to wrap up the two-hourlong battle. The Panthers scored the final five points to clinch the third spot to the North Fraser zone playoffs, which start Tuesday at Burnaby Central.

Looking for a new home? Start here.

Metro Vancouver home sales jump 45.4%, well above 10-year average Metro Vancouver’s residential real estate recovery continued apace in October, with home sales soaring 45.4 per cent year over year. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reported November 4 that residential resale transactions in the region totalled 2,858 in October, the highest total sold in a single month so far this year. This is 22.5 per cent higher than the 2,333 homes sold in September this year, and 9.8 per cent above the 10-year sales average for October. “Home buyers have more confidence today than we saw in the first half of the year,” said Ashley Smith, REBGV president. “With prices edging down over the last year and interest rates remaining low, hopeful buyers are becoming more active this fall.”

As more home inventory was absorbed, the number of available listings declined — exacerbated by fewer sellers listing their homes in October. There were 4,074 homes listed for sale on the region’s MLS in October, which is 16.4 per cent down from October 2018 and a 16.3 per cent monthly decrease. For all property types, the salesto-active listings ratio for October 2019 is 23.4 per cent, which is moving back towards a seller’s market. Smith added, “The recent uptick in home sales is moving us into a more historically typical market. Both sale and listing activity is trending around our long-term averages in recent months.” With sales having been increasing, the benchmark price of a typical Metro Vancouver home looks like its decline could now be reversing.

The benchmark price, now pegged at $992,900, is 6.4 per cent lower than in October 2018, but 0.2 per cent higher than September 2019. //subhead// Sales and prices by property type Metro Vancouver recorded 938 detached property sales in October, which is up 47.3 per cent from the same month last year, and 25.9 per cent more than in September this year. The price of a typical detached home in the region now stands at $1,410,500. This is a 7.5 per cent decrease from October 2018, but a 0.3 per cent increase compared with September 2019.

Sales of condos in the Metro Vancouver area totalled 1,384 in October 2019, a 40.5 per cent increase over October 2018, and a month-over-month rise of 18.7 per cent. The benchmark price of a typical apartment property in the region is $652,500. This is a 5.9 per cent decrease from October 2018, and a 0.2 per cent rise compared with September 2019.

The region’s attached homes such as townhouses and duplexes saw the biggest jump in resale transactions in October, with the 536 sale total a 55.8 per cent increase over October 2018 and 27 per cent higher than
