PIPELINE

Protesters block road at tank farm Cornelia Naylor

Anti-pipeline protesters held up five dump trucks headed for the Trans Mountain tank farm on Burnaby Mountain last Friday. About a half-dozen demonstrators carrying Extinction Rebellion signs and wearing ponchos emblazoned with the environmental movement’s logo were on Underhill Avenue near Broadway for about an hour, occasionally stepping onto the street and blocking trucks coming up the hill for several minutes. The purpose? “Shut down TMX because we don’t need it and it’s damaging our kids’ future,” North Shore resident Gordon Cornwall told the NOW. With 75 trucks travelling up and down Underhill each day during the tank farm expansion, one protester said holding up each one for even one minute creates a significant disruption. Cornwall described the tank farm as a “hazard for the community.” In total, protesters stopped five trucks Friday in what Cornwall called a “selective and kind of learning exercise.”

HEAD-ON COLLISION: Two men and a woman, all in their 20s, were taken to hospital in critical condition Sunday after their Volkswagen Golf collided head-on with a Honda Pilot on the Kensington Avenue overpass above Lougheed Highway. The driver of the Honda, a 55-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Police have said speed was a factor but haven’t released details about what caused the crash. Investigators are still looking for witnesses or anyone with dashcam video taken between 3 and 3:30 p.m. on Kensington between Canada Way and Lougheed. PHOTO SHANE MACKICHAN

Council gets an earful over rezonings Residents say they don’t trust council to protect renters from being demovicted Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Over the course of a marathon public hearing Tuesday evening, one thing became clear: many Burnaby residents don’t trust their local government. Nine rezoning proposals were up for discussion, but it was the final four that attracted dozens of speakers who stretched the meeting over five hours. The four proposed developments were the first major Metrotown projects

City CRIME

RCMP gang project aimed at violence Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP moved swiftly to address a spike in gang violence in the city this summer, according to a report to the city’s public safety committee this month. According to Insp. Kathy Hartwig, a conflict between two known gangs based in the Lower Mainland – one with ties to Burnaby – was behind a number of violent incidents in Squamish, New Westminster and Burnaby in mid-July. The Burnaby incidents included a carjacking of a delivery vehicle in the 4000 block of Maywood Street on July 14 and another carjacking and stabbing in the 9000 block of Cardston Court the following day. Also on July 15, a 14-year-old showed up at Burnaby Hospital with gunshot wounds, saying he’d been shot in the 3000 block of Dorchester Drive. Eight days later, Burnaby RCMP got a report that two males had been shot at in the area of Stride Avenue and Britton Street. The victims in all but one of the incidents were uncooperative with police, according to Burnaby RCMP. “Due to the fact that some of the incidents relating to this conflict are still under investigation, we cannot speak definitively to what caused this conflict,” Hartwig told the NOW. “What we can say is that, in our experience dealing with these kind of gang issues, drugs, weapons and violent retaliation-type assault incidents are all potential causes.” GANG BUSTERS To disrupt the escalating conflict, she said Burnaby

RCMP launched a monthlong enforcement project. From late July to the end of August, officers from an array of different units in the detachment conducted 32 curfew checks, 10 traffic stops, 16 street checks and made 45 contacts with staff at bars, restaurants, community centres and shopping malls that suspected gang members were known to frequent. During the project, three people were found to be breaching the conditions of their release from jail, two driving prohibitions were served, seven violation tickets were issued, one person was arrested and one referral was made to the Burnaby Mobilization and Resiliency Table. The project resulted in a noticeable drop in gang-related violence, according to Hartwig’s report, with no reports of violence between the two groups since the end of August. Faced with escalating gang activity, Hartwig said Burnaby RCMP had to pull some officers from their regular duties to respond. “This gang project showed that Burnaby is not immune when it comes to gang violence,” stated her report. “Our community can be confident that when it does take place in Burnaby that resources are immediately deployed to ensure it is quelled as quickly as possible.” Some of the incidents, like the reported shootings, weren’t reported publicly by police because they were deemed to have been targeted and investigators could find no evidence they had, in fact, happened in Burnaby, according to Burnaby RCMP.

EDUCATION

Bursaries exclude private schools Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Local private school officials are disappointed the City of Burnaby has left their grads out of its new bursary program. Approved unanimously at a meeting Monday night, the program will see the city give out a $1,000 bursary every year to one promising grad from each of Burnaby’s eight public high schools, with preference given to students with financial need who can demonstrate outstanding community involvement and volunteerism. ‘UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP’ The idea was put forward in October by Coun. James Wang, who served as a school board trustee for six years before being elected to council in 2014. He told the NOW that city council and the school board have a “very special, unique relationship” and have worked together on numerous programs, such as community schools and child care at schools. (The left-of-centre Burnaby Citizens Association, of which Wang is a member, has held a majority on both city council and the school board for decades.) When Wang attended graduation ceremonies, however, he said he noticed the city wasn’t doing anything to support local grads

with their post-secondary education, so he proposed staff look into a bursary program for local public school students. He told the NOW extending the program to include independent school students or homeschoolers was never discussed. “We just focused on public schools because we just think that is our major partnership,” he said. As for private school grads, he said, “They may have specific support from their school, family or some other things.”

tions like the CKNW Kids’ fund. “We would never turn a kid away for lack of ability to pay the fees,” she said. Davidson said she found it “sad” the vulnerable youth at her school were being excluded from the city’s bursary program. “I think we would be grateful for that and our families would be grateful for that, and I suspect it’s not done out of any malice,” she said. “Perhaps it’s just a misunderstanding of the services that other kinds of independent schools in the neighbourhood are offerFINANCIAL NEED ing and how valuable that According to local primoney would be to people vate school officials, howevof genuine talent and genuer, there’s no question some ine need.” promising indeSt.Thomas pendent school More Collegiate, grads have finana private Cathocial needs equal to lic school in Burntheir public school aby, also has grads counterparts. with financial “For most of need, according to them, there’s great president Dianne financial need.

out literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of bursaries on an ongoing basis to make even that low tuition affordable to students who otherwise couldn’t pay.” When it comes time to pay for a post-secondary education, some STM grads will struggle, according to Doyle, so she doesn’t understand the rationale behind the city excluding them from its bursary program. “Is there a strong rationale for that or was it an oversight?” she asked. “I don’t know why anyone would be excluded from eligibility based on which school they went to.”

CITIES SURVEYED City staff surveyed 11 other municipalities, six of which currently have a bursary program. Only one of them – the District of North Vancouver – excludes independent school students and homeschoolers. When told of the concerns being expressed by local private school officials, Wang said the city could review the program in a couple years. He told the NOW he would discuss the concerns with his council colleagues before the program was put to a vote, but there was no public discussion about it at Monday’s council meeting before it was unanimously approved.

City DEVELOPMENT

Burnaby pre-zones sites for affordable housing Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby moved to “prezone” six city-owned lots Monday in an effort to fasttrack its plans to build some 1,300 affordable homes in partnership with senior levels of government. The six properties scattered throughout the city could become home to thousands of non-market apartments and townhomes if the municipality successfully strikes a deal with BC Housing. Each site will need to be rezoned again once a specific project is planned, but the city is pre-zoning them to allow staff to move ahead with preparatory work, Mayor Mike Hurley said. The move also shows BC Housing how committed the city is, he said. “I want this moving as quickly as I can,” he said. The six sites are located in the Metrotown, Edmonds, Montecito and central (near city hall) neighbourhoods.

The city had previously considered selling some of the properties to private developers, as it has done, controversially, with other sites. But those days are done, Hurley said. “We just don’t believe in selling city land anymore,” he said. “We want to keep it as an asset forever.” Burnaby is also eyeing a seventh site for future affordable housing development: the location

of a Canada Post office on a 2,800-square-metre (31,000-square-foot) Sussex Avenue lot in Metrotown. The property is owned by the federal government, meaning the city would need to team up with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation to develop housing there. And, Hurley said, it may prove harder to strike a deal with the federal housing agency than its provincial coun-

terpart. “CMHC is always a mov-

ing target,” he said, adding he may need to make a trip

to Ottawa to “get the ball rolling.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

B.C. vaping restrictions a step in the right direction Years ago, 20,679 physicians agreed that Lucky Strike cigarettes were less irritating to the throat. After all, they were toasted. Dentists backed Viceroys, athletes touted Camels, and future U.S. president Ronald Reagan opted for Chesterfields as generations blackened their lungs, yellowed their teeth and made the air as ugly as their habit. We hoped that era was over but, much like virulent racism and junk science, it

survived on social media. While Juul marketed vape juice on brand new platforms, they recycled very old cigarette ads featuring attractive young people who presumably never hack up anything awful in the morning or suffer shortness of breath. The strategy, which emphasized kid-friendly flavours like cotton candy and pink lemonade and downplayed reports of impurities, seemed to work as Canada’s vaping rate among young

people shot up 74 per cent between 2017 and 2018. Our province, finally, is acting. Sin taxes are the first order of government business, as the province intends to introduce legislation later this month to increase the provincial sales tax (PST) rate applied to vaping products from seven to 20 per cent. The new tax rate will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020 and apply to all vaping devices, the substance or juice

that is used with the vaping device and any vaping part or accessory. The legislation would also include increasing the tobacco tax rate by two cents: the tax applied would be 29.5 cents per cigarette and 39.5 cents per gram of loose tobacco. Nicotine gum, patches and similar smoking cessation products would continue to be exempt from the PST. The new regulations will restrict the amount of nico-

tine in vapour pods and liquid to 20mg/ml and will require plain packaging for vapour products that include health warnings. Public advertising of vapour products will also be restricted in areas where youth spend time, such as bus shelters or community parks.The sale of vapour flavours, other than tobacco flavours, will only be allowed in age-restricted shops. All public and private schools in B.C. are tobacco

and vape free, while the buffer zone for smoking or vaping near windows, doors or air intakes is six metres. The province’s announcement follows news of a Michigan teenager who needed a double lung transplant after his lungs were severely damaged from vaping. The doctor who led the surgery called vaping: “an evil I haven’t faced before.” But he has.We all have. Let’s win this time.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Both Green parties face grim future Many political parties are engaged in navel-gazing assessments of their futures these days, but none more than the federal and provincial Green parties. The departures of the leaders of both parties – Elizabeth May has already stepped down from the federal post,= while Andrew Weaver is on his way in B.C. – means they must tackle some big internal issues to forge a new identity. Each party’s “brand” has become strongly identified with their leaders in recent years, so it will be a challenge to overcome the loss of their two most visible assets. It took several years for May and Weaver to establish some kind of credibility in their respective arenas, and their successors will face a stiff challenge trying to repeat their efforts. The Greens do not have a lot of time at either level of government.The next elections at both the federal and provincial levels will be critical ones for both parties. While they have made breakthroughs of sorts by electing some candidates, they amount to tiny breakthroughs. Winning just three seats at either level simply does not get it done when it comes to arguing that it is in the political big leagues. The party ran a dismal federal election campaign, marked by a number of gaffes by May and some candidates. While the party won two seats in B.C., a closer look at the election results showed the party is still a long ways from being regarded as a major player.

The Greens finished fourth (or worse) in 33 of the province’s 42 ridings, and most of those were very distant fourths. Its only area of perceived strength remains parts of Vancouver Island. The federal party will soon find itself marginalized in the next minority Parliament. With just three seats, it does not have the numerical heft to be part of any conversation Prime Minister Justin Trudeau needs to have with other parties to remain in power. Provincially, things look a little brighter, but not that much. Weaver’s looming departure will be a major blow and I would not bet on the Greens being able to hang onto his Oak Bay-Gordon Head seat, as both the BC Liberals and the NDP – both of which held that riding for decades – will prioritize winning there in 2021. While sitting Green MLAs Sonia Furstenau and Adam Olsen have to be considered favoured to hold their seats in 2021, the rest of the political landscape looks fairly bleak for the party. The Greens finished no better than third in more than 70 of the provinces’ ridings. So the question has to be asked: is this the high water mark for both the federal and provincial Green parties? Can both parties expand their popularity and reach without the two individuals who have led them to minor electoral success? Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Kids get self-defence lessons

A mom organizing self-defence classes for children at Burnaby schools said she started considering the idea a few years earlier, around the time the victims of child-murderer Clifford Olson were being discovered. Armed with little more than determination, volunteer Gail Pikker organized six-week workshops. Some parents opposed her efforts, saying the classes would scare kids or make them more aggressive, but Pikker said kids should be taught survival skills. “We must teach kids to bite, scratch and kick without turning them into animals,” she said.

More demovictions? Editor: An open letter to Mayor Mike Hurley and councillors: I am very disappointed with the rezoning of 6444 Willingdon and 4241 Maywood St. This development encompasses virtually an entire city block. I voted and campaigned for you, and one of the reasons was the ongoing demovictions. It seems quite possible that you are still governed/controlled by the Corrigan cronies who brought all these developments to the fore. You will be throwing about 200 renters out of their apartments, with nowhere for them to go, at the same rent that they are now paying? This is not the way to go – it’s just giving in to developers and not taking care of the working/ middle-class people in the Metrotown area. Mike Bird, Burnaby

Fair deal for teachers Editor: An open letter to Premier John Horgan and Education Minister Rob Fleming: I write to you today as a B.C. public school teacher of 20 years. I have been a supporter, campaign worker, financial contributor and voter for the provincial New Democrats my entire adult voting life. Although I believe your government has made some excellent decisions, passed some vital pieces of legislation, and implemented several very good actions since you’ve been elected, our critical system of public education is not one of them.

I am extremely dismayed, frustrated and disappointed with your government’s approach to education since your mandate began. I can only assume that neither of you have been in a B.C. public school classroom since you became government, for if you had, you could never have continued the BC Liberal mandate in education over the last two-and-a-half years like you have, which has devastated our students, teachers and the system, for more than 18 years now. Student behavioural, academic and mental health needs have increased at least 10-fold since I’ve been a teacher; multitudes of typical students are falling through the cracks daily, with significant learning needs, out-of-control behaviours, cellphone addiction, and so many other deep concerns that interrupt and prevent the vital learning of our children, not to mention the neglect that we provide our designated special needs students, every day. I would like to put you on notice, Mr. Horgan, that if your government does not immediately reverse its present non-actions in public education and begin to fund the system adequately, I will no longer be able to vote for the provincial New Democrats in future elections, and I will encourage all of my colleagues and those who support public education to do the same. If you choose to remain on the present path you are currently on with education funding, I fear for the future of this society. I believe strongly that if you refuse to fund education adequately, you had best be planning to build many more mental health facilities and prisons in this province, because you’re going to need them!

City Attacks against council get personal at hearing Continued from page 1 One after another, activists and local residents pleaded with city council to pause the rezonings until the city’s promised new tenant assistance program becomes law. Hurley and the city’s head planner, Ed Kozak, repeatedly promised the rezonings would not pass final adoption until that policy is in place.The mayor has promised demovicted Burnaby renters will be the “best looked after tenants that Canada has ever seen.” In July, council unanimously endorsed the Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing’s final report, which included a proposal to require developers to rehouse displaced tenants in new buildings at the same rent and to help them find interim housing during construction. But the policy has yet to come to council as an official bylaw amendment. And many speakers said they still live in fear of displacement without the city’s promises written in stone. “You ran on a platform

of ‘Time for change,’ ” Metrotown resident Alaidjah McGlynn said, referencing Hurley’s 2018 campaign slogan. “But over the last year I have not seen change. I’ve seen uncertainty. I’ve seen gentrification. And I’ve seen displacement.” Many speakers referenced the mass displacement in Metrotown that saw thousands of low-income renters evicted to make way for massive new condo towers. “This history of this council is evil,” Stephen Samuel said, noting the same people still sit on council as during those demoviction years (other than Hurley and Coun. Joe Keithley). “We know the history,” Hurley said before warning Samuel not to make personal attacks. Hurley said the tenant assistance program will come to council as soon as possible, hopefully at its next public meeting on Dec. 2. And the policy will be even stronger than what was proposed by the task force, he said.

Clearing BMX park to cost $170K

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is estimating it will cost $170,000 to dismantle an unauthorized bike park and remediate the “sensitive” conservation area where it hid for years. A BMX track known as Kush Woods grew over 25 years, as riders built jumps, berms and even a large dirt bowl in the wooded Capitol Hill Conservation Area in North Burnaby, BMXer Chester Jones told the NOW in July. Jones said he helped build Kush Woods into the largest BMX park in Canada, the centre of the local riding community and an internationally renowned destination attracting X Games athletes. But all that happened without the city’s knowledge or consent, and, soon after an employee stumbled across the track earlier this year, the municipality began making plans to remove it. The remediation of the site will include removing 124 features, tarps, wood, tools, 24 water drums and – “of particular concern” – steel drums containing a po-

tential environmental hazard.The city says four steel drums were labeled “Genyk Thermal Green Resin” – a spray-on building insulator that contains tris phosphate (TCPP), a compound regulated by the B.C. Contaminated Sites Regulation. The company contracted to remediate the site found TCPP in “possible concentrations above standards” in eight soil samples, according

to the city report. The company also found hazardous trees and invasive plants that will need to be removed, according to the report.The city says the $170,000 remediation will be covered by its existing parks budget. Burnaby has also hired a consultant to study potentially building a new BMX track near the existing Mountain Air Bike Park at

the base of Burnaby Mountain.The city says it’s hoping to work with the local BMX community to “modernize and upgrade the park to attract riders of all ages and abilities.” In July, Jones said Kush Woods was a world-class BMX track catering to advanced riders. Other public facilities do not provide the challenging ride experienced bikers want, he said.

CRIME

Four departments team up to stop crime spree

Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

A 32-year-old man is facing 13 charges following an alleged robbery in four different cities. Derek John Muirhead is suspected of five counts of robbery in Burnaby, four counts of robbery in Coquitlam, two counts in New West and two counts in

Langley. He’s also suspected of one count of assault with a weapon in Langley. Coquitlam RCMP said the arrest was made with “close cooperation” with four police departments. “In Coquitlam, we had four files in rapid succession where the suspect went straight for the cash registers.We quickly realized our files were similar to crimes

happening in Langley,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with Coquitlam RCMP. “We pooled our resources with Langley RCMP, Burnaby RCMP and New Westminster Police, and by Oct. 19, we had identified a suspect and made an arrest.” Police said they’re continuing to investigate Muirhead, with further charges possible.

“We’re looking for patterns all the time,” McLaughlin said. “And we’re constantly working with other local RCMP and municipal police departments to find those crime patterns.We’re all on the same team.” Muirhead is scheduled to return to court in Surrey on Nov. 15.

DESIGNATION OF BURNABY NORTH ROAD BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA

HOW TO APPLY burnaby.ca/committeevolunteer

The Council of the City of Burnaby hereby gives notice that it is proposing to designate a Business Improvement Area (BIA) for the west side of the North Road commercial area as follows:

APPLICATION DEADLINE November 29, 2019

The purpose of the BIA is to help local businesses and property owners to upgrade and promote a local business district to improve its economic viability. The business promotion proposed to be undertaken by the Burnaby North Road Business Improvement Association includes joint marketing, security and beautification improvements, and research and marketing studies for the benefit of the designated commercial area. Further details are in the report to City Council available from the City Clerk’s Office at 604-294-7290 or online at burnaby.ca/october28report The estimated total cost of the proposed business promotion is $1,298,459.92 over six years from 2020 April 1 to 2026 March 31. The Class 5 and 6 commercial property owners in the BIA (excluding Lougheed Mall) will pay 100% of the cost through a City-Initiated Local Service Tax. The estimated Local Service Tax for 2020 is $0.6064 per $1,000 of assessed value, and must be paid in full by the tax due date of 2020 July 3. The charge for each of the remaining five years will depend on the assessed property value in each of those years. The tax will increase at a rate of 3.5% per year to cover inflationary cost increases and ensure that the BIA can fund programs throughout the year. Council may proceed with the BIA designation, in accordance with this notice, unless it receives signed petitions opposing the BIA designation from:

» the commercial property owners of at least 50% of the parcels in the BIA; and » the person signing the petitions are owners of parcels that in total represent at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements in the BIA.

Bureau ready to help families at Christmas Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

With the cost of living continuing to rise, the Burnaby Christmas Bureau will be needed more than ever this year. And the folks from Burnaby Community Services are already hard at work to ensure low-income families, seniors and “unique individuals” (people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless) in the community get a little help for the holidays. The bureau has once again opened its storefront in the Brentwood Town Centre mall (on the lower floor in the former Brentwood Bridal location) and is accepting both donations and applications from those wanting help. John Wong, fund development officer with BCS, said Christmas can be a difficult time for low-income families struggling to put presents under the tree. So that’s where the bureau

steps in, providing toys and other items. “It does provide a bit of Christmas cheer to those in need in the community,” he said. The Christmas bureau helped more than 3,500 people last year and expects demand to increase this year,Wong said. Donations of new, unwrapped toys and gifts can be dropped off at any fire hall or the bureau’s Brentwood toy room between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday until Dec. 9.Wong said there is a particular need for pyjamas of all sizes, as the bureau tries to give a set to everyone it helps. You can also donate money online at bbyservices.ca/ donate.php. Low-income families with children 16 or younger and low-income seniors can register at the toy room.You can find information about eligibility at bbyservices.ca/ programs-christmasbureau. php

Gala puts CT scanner fund over the top A total of $435,000 raised - in addition to a contribution of a $1 million from the City of Burnaby means the Burnaby Hospital Foundation’s $2 millionplus campaign for urgently needed medical imaging equipment is now officially complete. The total was reached – and celebrated – on Nov. 15 at the foundation’s Nashville Nights Gala.The equipment being funded includes a CT scanner for the hospital, which is currently operating with just one unit. “CT scanners are the workhorse of the emergency department, and a second unit is badly needed to keep up with demand and also provide a second option when one unit is under repair,” said foundation CEO Kristy James. “Burnaby Hospital Foundation has been fundraising for this equipment for quite a while now, and so of course we’re extremely grateful to the City of Burnaby and all of our supporters tonight for making this equipment a reality, along with a wide

range of other needed diagnostic medical imaging equipment.” The sold-out gala, presented by the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society, was hosted by Global BC news director, and foundation board trustee, Jill Krop. It featured performances by Rosemary Siemens and the Sweet Sound Revival, and also served as an opportunity to recognize the foundation’s 2019 Philanthropy Award recipients. In addition to closing out their campaign for medical imaging equipment, it also appears the foundation has a head start on their upcoming campaign in support of the recently announced $1.3 billion redevelopment of Burnaby Hospital.To conclude the evening,William McCarthy, chair of the foundation’s fundraising cabinet, pledged a $1 million contribution toward the project. “The redevelopment of Burnaby Hospital is going to be a major milestone in the history of this city,” said McCarthy. “The Fundrais-

ing Cabinet is already working hard to lay the groundwork as we gear up for a major capital campaign in support of the project, and I hope this contribution helps build some momentum as we get closer to the New Year.” 2019 PHILANTHROPY AWARD RECIPIENTS: !

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM OLD ORCHARD CENTRE! OLD ORCHARD CENTRE FREE KIDS’ CHRISTMAS WORKSHOP SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23 - 11 am to 3 pm

Operation Red Nose is back As the holiday season ramps up and the libations begin to flow, a popular service to get you home safe returns. Operation Red Nose is back in Burnaby, NewWestminster and the Tri-Cities for another season, gearing up to provide rides to people who don’t feel fit to drive. The service will run the four weekends before Christmas and on New Year’s Eve. It starts Nov. 29

and 30 and continues Dec. 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21 and 31. The service starts at 9 p.m. and runs until 3 a.m. For a donation, teams of Operation Red Nose volunteers drive people and their cars home. Volunteers work in teams of three, with two driving the client in the client’s vehicle and the third following behind in another vehicle. The money from donations goes toward KidSport. Operation Red Nose is

entering its 13th year in the Tri-Cities. Burnaby and New Westminster came on board in 2012. The program relies on volunteers.To sign up, go to operationrednosetricities. com/volunteers. Apply soon, though, because volunteers are required to get a criminal record check from their local police department and that can take some time. For a ride after your holiday fun, call 778-866-6673.

City adds new holiday lights The City of Burnaby is setting up Christmas lights at four new locations this year. In total, 26 parks and public spaces will be illuminated with decorative displays. Highlights include Hastings Street, which has been transformed into a 2.3-kilometre holiday promenade of lights between Boundary Road and Gamma Avenue, and the Edmonds neighbourhood,

which features several displays within walking distance of one another. Four new locations will be adorned with lights for the first time in 2019: " The west building at city hall is adorned with 350 shimmering lights, adding to an impressive display of lights at Deer Lake Park. " Kingsway and Edmonds features a large decorative tree. " One of Burnaby’s most

scenic locations, Burnaby Mountain Park, comes to life with a display featuring floodlights and 14 illuminated trees. " Already one of the top spots in the city for families over the holidays,Tram Plaza at Burnaby Village Museum (opening Nov 23) now features decorative lanterns. For a complete map of Burnaby’s holiday light displays, visit Burnaby.ca/ holidaylights.

When a common word naturally elicits negative connotations, why not change it up with a more cheery alternative? This seems to be a new trend amongst celebrities, namely those who have come up with more comfortable terms for words like “single” and “divorced.” First, Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s “conscious uncoupling” was introduced back in 2014 – a cute way of saying amicably divorced, which quickly went viral (and is often heard in conversation today). Now, actor Emma Watson has coined a term of her own that has audiences all abuzz. In a recent interview in British Vogue,Watson proclaims of her relationship status, “I’m very happy being single, I call it ‘self-partnered.’ ” Watson shares her single status in response to

questions about her flying solo as she approaches her 30th birthday, an age that still seems to spur societal expectations for women to have settled down with someone by their side by the time they’ve reached the end of their 20s. It’s refreshing to see a shift recently, with more women choosing to be single later in life. Cameron Diaz said when announcing her retirement from acting at the age of 40, “I feel it’s OK for me to take time for myself right now, to reorganize and choose how I want to (live). I think the 40s are the best decade – you just get to be real with yourself, and you can also make necessary changes because you have the experience of looking back on four decades.” Jennifer Aniston, when criticized for being “49 and childless” in the media, also responded positively, showing the world that there’s more to life than settling down once a certain age approaches. I can definitely remem-

ber a time in my life when “single” seemed like a bad word. And when I did find myself in a serious relationship, prodding questions from parents and forward comments from friends alluded to there being a hurry to get hitched and have babies, and that only amplified when I hit my mid-20s. I love that more women today are choosing to live life independently, without pairing with a life partner, but I don’t think the freedom that comes with being “self-partnered” is only attainable when a woman is single. There seems to be this motherhood misconception that we as women need to prioritize our parenting duties and put our own personal interests aside. Unfortunately, when we do this – when we put everyone else’s needs before our own all the time – we lose our sense of who we are as individuals. It took me a long time to realize that I could be both

a “mother,” and the “me” that I was before I had kids. Now, I prioritize time for myself, and thanks to a job that forces me to travel by myself, I’m able to maintain my own independence – regardless of the fact that I’m also married and a mother. I find that the more time I invest in pursuing my own interests and doing things that make me happy independently of my family, the better partner and parent I become. Like the words single and divorced, the words married and mother can also have certain implications, primarily that if a person is connected to another person, or a parent, they can no longer enjoy independence. Perhaps we should come up with more cheery terms for those words as well? Bianca Bujan is a mother of three, writer, editor and marketing consultant.

Beedie Luminaries scholarship program grows

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

More promising B.C. students facing financial adversity will get a leg up in their post-secondary studies from Burnaby native Ryan Beedie next year. The real estate developer and philanthropist is adding up to $1 million to his Beedie Luminaries scholarship program for 2020. “After the success of Beedie Luminaries’ inaugural year, I knew that I wanted to expand the program and extend support to deserving, resilient students from all over B.C.,” Beedie said in a press release. “Financial hardship should not stop talented British Columbians from pursuing

higher education and realizing their full potential.” For 2020, Beedie has added 25 more scholarships of up to $40,000 each to the program, which will be open to students from all over B.C. for the first time. The extra money ups this year’s total available grant funding to $4.2 million. Founder and principal benefactor of the scholarship program, Beedie launched the Luminaries in November 2018 to help promising students from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds overcome barriers to education. It was his experience growing up in Burnaby and seeing friends who didn’t have the same opportunities as him to get a post-sec-

Coast Salish carving a ‘small act of reconciliation’ for Alpha

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Coast Salish carving created to welcome students, staff and visitors to Burnaby’s Alpha Secondary School was officially dedicated this week. Installed in the school’s new wide-open main entrance, the carved panel is one of a number of “small acts of reconciliation” the school has undertaken in recent years, according to principal Tim Wozney. “We called them small acts because, no matter how large they are, it doesn’t compare and it certainly doesn’t repair the damage that was done through the residential schools and things like that,” he told the NOW. The school began planning the project during its $27.2-million seismic upgrade and addition, completed in September 2018, Wozney said.

“We saw it as an opportunity to do something.” Undertaken by Squamish elder and artist Latash Nahanee with help from assistant Chris Fyfe, the project began in earnest in September 2018 with the delivery of a 2,000-pound cedar log donated by the Squamish First Nation. For about nine months, Nahanee, Fyfe and hundreds of students – including elementary kids from all of Alpha’s feeder schools – helped chip, chisel and sand the log. Ben Hourie, an Alpha student whose family is from the West Bank First Nation in the Okanagan, said the project helped make Grade 8 one of his happiest years in school so far. He had a spare block last year and most often spent it with Nahanee or Fyfe working the cedar. “It was nice to feel connected at school,” he said.

The final product is a welcome panel comprised of seven carved figures, a thunderbird, an owl, a black bear, a frog, an Inukshuk, the Métis infinity symbol and a butterfly pattern. As a whole, the work was designed to symbolize welcoming and inclusion and

It was nice to feel connected at school acknowledge the fact the school sits on traditional Coast Salish land. The butterfly, however, was a bit of a personal touch by Nahanee. His mother, a cedar root basket weaver, often used the pattern, he said. Along with a tribute to that tradition, he included the pattern as an appropriate symbol for the high

school journey. “The Grade 8 student arriving here will be a much different person when they graduate,” he said. “They’ll go through a lot of transformation and will find their own personal gifts.” Wozney called the finished carving “amazing” but said the completed work wasn’t the most significant part of the project. “Watching the elementary kids come through, watching Latash tell stories, watching just the process was really more important to me,” he said. The welcoming panel was dedicated Tuesday with a blessing ceremony led by Chief Ian Campbell of the Squamish Nation. “It was illegal until about 1951 to do these types of ceremonies,” he said. “I truly commend Alpha and the school district for taking ReconciliAction.”

Cutting crime: A sample of the Burnaby RCMP’s strategic plan. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Burnaby RCMP set three-year targets Burnaby RCMP has set three-year crime-reduction targets in its first new strategic plan in seven years. The detachment aims to reduce incidents of property crime and violent crime by 3% cent by 2022. It also plans to increase foot and bike patrols in the city by 10% and improve police response times by 5%. In a further bid to improve public safety, Burnaby RCMP also plans to reduce motor vehicle colli-

sions in the city by 6%. The 2019-2022 plan, presented to the city’s public safety committee last Wednesday, is the result of “community consultation, police officer experiences, research and planning by a group that encompasses a range of ranks and roles,” according to Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh. Burleigh launched the process soon after she became Officer in Charge of the detachment in December 2017, but the plan took

Three new Burnaby playgrounds are now open The provincial government is changing its playground equipment program to ensure all new school playgrounds will be accessible for kids with special needs, according to Education Minister Rob Fleming. Fleming was at Burnaby’s Second Street Community School Wednesday for the official opening of three new playgrounds in the city. Under the province’s playground equipment program announced in May 2018, grants have till now come in two amounts: $105,000 for universally accessible playgrounds and $90,000 for standard. Only one of the Burnaby schools, Maywood Community School, had received the province’s grant for a universally accessible playground. Second Street and Sperling Elementary had been awarded grants for standard playgrounds. To ensure those playgrounds would be acces-

sible for all kids, too, the school district stepped in with $30,000 and took care of the installations. In the future, Fleming told the NOW all playgrounds funded under the playground equipment program will be universally accessible. He said the province made the change after the end of last school year based on feedback from school districts. “Of course it costs a little bit more, but it’s important in terms of what we’re trying to do in the school system to be inclusive of every kid,” he said. “Upon reviewing the program – which it’s really still in its infancy – we decided that that policy shift was probably the right thing to do.” School board vice-chair Jen Mezei, who advocated for government funding for school playgrounds as president of the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils before being elected to the board, applauded the change.

“Equity, access and inclusion are an integral part of our district’s values,” she said at last week’s event at Second Street. “A child’s access to a safe playground should not be dependent on

ability or disability. A child’s access to a safe playground should not be dependent on a school community’s capacity to raise funds. Government-funded playgrounds and playground re-

placements have helped relieve a huge burden that has been placed on parents and PACs’ shoulders.” Universally accessible playground equipment is designed to be accessible

by all elementary-aged students, including children with disabilities or developmental challenges who need to interact with playgrounds in a specialized manner, including wheelchair use. 1 Offers are valid toward the retail purchase of an eligible new or demonstrator 2019 MY Chevrolet vehicle at a participating Dealer delivered in Canada between November 1, 2019 – November 30, 2019.

Burnaby a ringette hotspot

Worlds come to Bill Copeland complex for six-day tournament Burnaby will be the centre of the ringette universe for six days next week, with the world’s best settling in for a world-class competition. The World 2019 Ringette Championships are coming, and it promises to be a week of the best the game has to offer. Teams from the Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden, U.S. and Canada will compete for bragging rights in both a Sam Jacks division (Canada and Finland) and a President’s division (Czech, Sweden and U.S.), as well as a junior division. While the competitors will be focusing on winning, the real raison d’etre is to promote the game. “The 2019 world ringette championships is an incredible opportunity for them to share their commitment to good sport with the global ringette community,” said Karri Dawson, senior director, Quality Sport at the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport. “Ringette Canada is a leader in providing values-based sport experiences; experiences that ultimately develop positive character, strengthen communities and increase opportunities for personal excellence.” With more than 31,000 players across Canada, the game is going strong in the country where it was founded. Sam Jacks created the game in 1963 in Ontario when trying to encourage physical activity for girls.The game has branched out to include co-ed divisions. Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Sports Complex will be the scene for all the action, starting Nov. 26, when Finland plays a local Port Coquitlam team in a friendly game (11:20 a.m.). Later in the evening, local players will have an opportunity to skate with members of the Canadian and six-time defending world champion Finnish teams at an open skate (registration required), 6:15 to 8:15 p.m. The cost is $5. The Swedes and the Czechs launch the President’s division with a game Wednesday at 7:40 p.m.The battle for the Sam Jacks division title starts in earnest on Thursday, Nov. 28, 7:50 p.m. with the first game between Canada and Finland. The full schedule, along with ticket information, is available at www.wrc2019.ca.

dolson@burnabynow.com

You’ve got to be good to be lucky, and lucky to be good. When you’re heavy underdogs, that goes without saying. The St.Thomas More Knights put a thrill into an otherwise unspectacular night of football Saturday at B.C. Place, rallying to defeat top seed Mount Doug 24-21 to advance to the B.C. Subway Bowl semifinals (7:30 p.m. Saturday against Vancouver College). While every other quarterfinal was decided by two touchdowns or more, the spotlight game – which pitted the defending champions against an undefeated underdog – went down to the wire. Shaking off a first half where the reigning B.C. champion Rams rocketed ahead 21-7 on a pair of big yardage plays, Burnaby’s squad meticulously whittled the deficit down on a succession of slick drives and a couple of key bounces. Trailing 21-7 to start the second half, STM twice fumbled the ball inside Mount Doug’s 10-yard line,

only to come up with six points. The second recovery was by standout tight end Alex Cordeiro, who fell on the ball after Nick Osho had it punched away on the one-yard line. Cordeiro got his hands on it in the end zone, making it a 21-14 deficit with the team’s first major since early in the second quarter. “It was just being at the right place at the right time,” said the Grade 12 two-way player. “We drove down the field and we knew we had to punch it in. Nick ran the ball really hard that drive. He fumbled the ball and it came right to me. I just jumped on it and tried to do my job. Luckily it was in the end zone, we scored and we’ll take the points.” After efficiently forcing Mount Doug to punt from their own fiveyard line, STM started with good field position and proceeded to drive for a hopeful tying TD. But the Rams held their ground and forced the Knights to settle for a 31-yard field goal – with Cordeiro getting it just inside the uprights. The defence did its job in keeping the Rams on their heels, in-

cluding an interception by Kane Ferrara, handing the ball to the offence with just over five minutes remaining in the contest. Starting from their own 15yard line, the Knights sliced down the field, with quarterback Anthony De Lazzari hitting receiver Jack Wagner on a third and 10 that moved the sticks for a 65-yard pickup. Osho and fellow rusher Rickey Parsons took turns on runs that put the ball at Mount Doug’s six-yard line, setting the stage for the game-winning and ninth play of the march. Osho carried it through a maze, striding across the line to give the Knights the lead with two minutes left. With a reputation as being a playoff machine, the Rams still had time to respond, but STM’s Gabe Nacario intercepted Grade 10 Hunter Swift’s pass at the Mount Doug 35-yard line, pouring cold water on the Island team’s hopes. “Rattling the quarterback, that’s what we love to do,” remarked Grade 12 lineman Kaishaun Carter. “We love to get in opposing quarterback’s head.”

Osho finished with 187 yards rushing on 27 carries, while Parsons picked up 25 yards on four carries. De Lazzari completed nine of 14 pass attempts for 180 yards. On defence Parsons posted a team-high seven tackles, while Cordeiro contributed six tackles and a quarterback sack. Carter, meanwhile, chipped in three tackles and a fumble recovery. Cordeiro said not being the favourite was perfect fuel, as it has been all year through a 7-0 run. “We’ve been playing this underdog thing all year long, we love being underdogs,” he said. “The Tweedsmuir game (Nov. 1, which locked up the conference title) we weren’t favoured either and won big.We love being the underdog and I love being an underdog. Being able to pull off that story is so good, it’s awesome.” The Knights now get a rematch against fellow Christian Brotherhood school, the Vancouver College Fighting Irish.The two teams met in an exhibition test in early September, but that game was called at halftime, at the STM Continued on page 46

Alpha ends BCs in seventh spot Lakers tag Clark The Burnaby Lakers put in a long-distance call when it came to filling their vacant head coaching job for the 2020 Western Lacrosse Association season. The New England Black Wolves’ Glenn Clark answered. The Lakers posted the news of Clark’s hiring on their website last month. The soon-to-be 50-year-

The Alpha Aztecs had high hopes entering the B.C. AA senior boys soccer championships at Burnaby Lake West complex. They settled for having risen to the challenge and proving their mettle against some of the province’s best. Alpha wrapped up the B.C. tournament on Wednesday with a 1-0 penalty kick win over Carihi, locking up seventh place overall. After rolling undefeated through the pool round, where only a pair of ties prevented them from moving into the medal round, the team had its first stumble. They were bested 5-2 by South Kamloops in the first playoff game, on the heels of tying McRoberts 1-1 in the final pool game. On Monday the Aztecs opened the tourney with a 0-0 draw with Caledonia, then knocked off Brentwood College 2-0. It was the former result which proved to put a dampener on the first round. “Sometimes you’re not sure if you want to play a slightly weaker team at the beginning, because you may take them for granted,” remarked coach Andrew Porth. “Or do you want

to play a real tough game out the get-go? We played very well (Monday), we just couldn’t finish. (Caledonia’s) goalie was very good.” The team responded by blanking Brentwood College, the team that would eventually advance. They needed to beat McRoberts to claim first in the group.The Richmond school scored first, but Alpha equalized it on a marker by Leonardo Liberatone early in the second half. Their 1-0-2 record was

good for second-best in the pool, behind Brentwood at 2-1-0. “It’s unfortunate; the boys played really, really hard and left it all on the field. That’s all we can ask for. … We were full value for the win over Brentwood.That’s the best I’ve seen these guys play.” The biggest win prior to the B.C.s would be their 1-0 victory over Archbishop Carney 12 days ago, clinching the Fraser North zone’s berth to the B.C.s.

But of all the hurdles they’ve faced, becoming a strong, cohesive team over a short marathon season may even one-up that. “We kind of stumbled along a little bit at the getgo and everyone was playing as individuals,” recalled Porth. “Then we found each other as a team, and soon as we did that we became a much tougher opponent for everybody.When we went through the districts they were just fantastic. It takes a team to win.”

Continued from page 45 coaches’ request, after injuries whittled the team’s lineup to just a couple of subs. The Irish were leading 28-0 at the time. “That (game against VC) was huge moment for us.We were down 15 guys (by halftime).When we saw our depth guys sitting there and competing with them that meant a lot to us.We’re going to take it to them,” said Carter.

B.C. residential sales up nearly 20% in October B.C.’s overall housing market continued the recovery streak of the past few months by posting 7,666 residential property sales in October — a jump of 19.3 per cent over last year, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association’s latest statistics. The annual increase in sale prices also seems to be gaining momentum, with the average price across the province last month at $724,045, an increase of 5.1 per cent compared with October 2018. The combination of rising sales volumes and prices pushed October’s total dollar volume across B.C. to $5.55 billion, 25.4 per cent higher than one year previously, said the association. “Most markets around the province are returning to a more typical level of sales activity,” said Brendon Ogmundson, BCREA’s chief economist. “That recovery in sales and slower listings activity is putting upward pressure on prices in many markets.” The board’s report added that the province’s overall housing market is now moving back towards seller’s market territory. “With sales and

listings down, overall market conditions in the province have tightened, with a sales-to-active listings ratio of 21 per cent.” A seller’s market occurs when the ratio is above 20 per cent for a sustained period of several months, so it cannot yet be described as such. Regional Variations As ever, the province-wide stats hide wide variations in regional markets, with some areas seeing huge jumps in sales compared with very low sales of one year ago, and others posting very different statistics. The largest sales jump in October was seen in Greater Vancouver, where residential transactions leaped more than 45 per cent year over year. The Fraser Valley also saw a strong month, with sales up 36 per cent from last October. B.C. Northern, which includes Prince George and Kitimat, saw sales and dollar volume drop more than 15 per cent year over year, after a very busy fall of last year caused in large part by economic activity. The report comes a week after the BCREA issued

a forecast that home sales across the province will rise significantly in 2020, after what will have been a weak 2019 overall. MLS residential sales across B.C. are predicted to increase 10.9 per cent year over year to 85,500 units in 2020. If this is accurate, it would take the year’s total to just below the 10-year annual average of 85,800 units. Again, the regional differences are considerable. Most of the recovery in activity is forecast to be driven by rising sales in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, where the markets were hit hardest by the recent slowdown. Greater Vancouver residential transactions are predicted to increase by 18.2 per cent in 2020, compared with 2019, and Fraser Valley sales are forecast to go up 12.4 per cent next year. In comparison, Victoria’s resale transactions are expected to rise a more modest four per cent in 2020.

Always a gifted artist, she beautifully reflected her love of animals and nature through the years. Jeysoca studied interior design at the University of Manitoba. Later, she apprenticed in Quebec and mastered an artistic technique known in French as Cire craft. She was a member of The Burnaby Artists Guild and they regularly showcased her work at the Shadbolt center. She was well known for her wit and wisdom and well loved in her community. Other community involvement included her beloved ukulele club and her long time walk along the spiritual path of the First Nations.
