Burnaby property taxes set to rise in 2020 But Mayor Mike Hurley promises a ‘reasonable’ increase as city considers a hike of 2.5% to 3.5% Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby landowners can expect their property taxes to rise by 2.5% to 3.5% in 2020, according to Mayor Mike Hurley. The exact increase won’t

be determined until the city presents its new budget and city council votes on it, likely in February or March. Meanwhile,Vancouver homeowners are facing a steeper increase. City staff there originally proposed an 8.2% increase for 2020, but

councillors have since asked staff to return with new proposals that would see property tax increases of 5%, 6% or 7%. “I can assure you we won’t be anywhere close to that,” Hurley said. “We hold our taxes at pretty reason-

creased its property taxes by 2.5% to cover its $271 million operating budget. Burnaby has already approved its sanitary sewer and waterworks utility rates for 2020, increasing them by 2% and 1% respectively.

Cavernous reservoir exposed in excavation Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Neighbours living near South Burnaby’s Alta Vista Park have gotten their first and last glance of a cavernous reservoir that has lain beneath their neighbourhood for 106 years. The Alta Vista reservoir, built in 1913 to collect water coming in through new water mains from Seymour Creek on the North Shore, was demolished last week to allow for the expansion of a nearby playground. About 26 metres long, 14 metres wide and 4.3 metres deep, with a capacity of more than one million litres, it serviced the growing historic neighbourhood of Alta Vista on the South Slope until it was decommissioned about 15 or 20 years ago. An engineering report in 2016 determined the underground structure, which sat under two parcels of land at 5172 McKee St., would be at risk of collapse during an earthquake and would need

to be demolished to enable safe use of the site. A 100-signature petition from residents last December sealed the reservoir’s fate. In March, city council approved a plan to demolish it and expand the park. The only remnant of the 106-year-old structure that will be preserved is a nearly four-metre-tall concrete column that had stood on the north end of the property. A pipe inside the column was once essential for releasing air pressure in the reservoir through a decorative metal vent at its top. City staff successfully cut the pillar from the reservoir before the demolition. Wrapped in bubble wrap, two-by-fours and steel strapping, the column has now been placed in storage. It will be restored or rebuilt and may be reinstalled in the expanded playground, according to city heritage planner Lisa Codd.

Burnaby urged to add private schools to city bursary program Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A letter from an independent school association asking for local private schools to be included in the City of Burnaby’s new bursary program got short shrift at a recent city committee meeting. The bursary program, approved last month, 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. Officials from two local independent schools told the NOW they were disappointed at being left out, since some students at their schools also have financial need. But including local private school students or homeschoolers was never discussed or considered before the bursary program was approved, according to Coun. James Wang, who originally proposed it.

The Federation of Independent School Associations, an umbrella organization representing nearly 300 B.C. independent schools, including 10 in Burnaby, wrote a letter to mayor and council last month urging them to make the program more inclusive. “Independent schools have a long history in Burnaby and continue to provide commendable school experiences to countless citizens of Burnaby,” wrote executive director Shawn Chisholm. “I encourage the City of Burnaby to follow the lead of the provincial government and make this generous bursary offering available to all students attending a Burnaby high school – public or independent.” The letter was referred to the executive committee of council, where it was “received as information” with no action taken. “We recognize that most who are obviously able to pay some kind of fee probably are also able to maybe support some kind of students in future endeavours,” chair Coun. Sav Dhaliw-

al said. But staff looking into the feasibility of the bursary program was not directed to see if that assumption was accurate. The two private schools that spoke to the NOW said some of their students are supported through high school with grants, and their

Are they inclusive of people who can’t afford really to be there?

families don’t have money for post-secondary education. “We would never turn a kid away for lack of ability to pay the fees,” said Ilona Davidson, the principal and program manager at Whytecliff Agile Learning Centre, an alternative independent school for students with diverse learning, personal or life challenges. Mayor Mike Hurley said

it might have been an oversight not to look at the financial need of students at local independent schools. “I think that we do need to touch base with those schools, and that’s something I’ll do,” he said. “I’ll reach out and look at that side of their programming. Are they inclusive of people who can’t afford really to be there? I need to find that out.” Coun. Pietro Calendino, meanwhile, said the bursaries were public money and should go to public schools. When asked why the city hadn’t looked into the financial need of students at independent schools, he said, “We just made that decision, period. … I’m a supporter of the public school system, not of the independent or homeschooled children.” Nevertheless, he said parents of those students could “come and make their case” to the committee. Dhaliwal said the committee will reevaluate the bursary “after a number of years.”

Proposed bike share program fails to launch Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A proposed bike share pilot program has failed to launch in Burnaby. In March, the city put out a call inviting companies to apply to run the city’s first bike-sharing system. At the time, city staff said they had heard from several companies eager to move into the city. But that interest seems to have fizzled out. “The companies never came back to us with anything.They asked for it and we put it out, but we haven’t really had any hits on it,” Mayor Mike Hurley said. Without any applicants, it doesn’t appear Burnaby will have a bike-share system anytime soon. Burnaby had hoped a company would run an 18-month pilot program at no cost to the city. Asked whether the city’s refusal to subsidize the program (as some cities do) might explain the lack of interest, Hurley said, “I

don’t know. I guess they don’t see the business case for it.We haven’t really had any feedback.” The mayor also acknowledged Burnaby’s lack of protected bike lanes could have been a factor as well, adding, “we have to work towards fixing that.” The NOW reached out to four companies operating bike-share programs in B.C. – U-bicycle, Mobi, Hopr and Dropbike. Grace Min, CEO of Ubicycle – which operates dockless bike share programs inVictoria, Richmond, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam – said she has been in contact with the City of Burnaby over the last two years but decided not to apply to operate its pilot program. She said her company is moving beyond the “last mile” transportation model – referring to the final stage of a journey – to focus on providing electric bikes for longer journeys and an app for carpooling. The other companies did not respond.

Burnaby firefighters encountered thick smoke, flames and a collapsing roof while battling a three-alarm blaze at a Big Bend industrial park Wednesday morning. An alarm company called in the fire at 4663 Byrne Rd. at about 7 a.m., according to acting fire Chief Dave Samson. He said crews were on

scene within eight minutes to find heavy smoke and flames in the warehouse of an import-export business where the fire had started. “It was difficult to gain entry. … There were a lot of materials inside, tough going,” Samson said. The warehouse was gutted, and part of its roof collapsed in the fire. In total, four units sustained smoke and fire damage, including a wood cab-

inetry building business next to the unit where the fire started and a tool rental firm next to that. About 42 firefighters and six fire trucks responded. The buildings were unoccupied when the fire broke out, according to Samson, and there were no injuries to civilians or firefighters. The cause of the blaze is under investigation. Fire crews were still on scene at press time.

Opinionnow OUR VIEW

Reduce your own carbon footprint this Christmas Canadians concerned about climate change might want to look at their own carbon footprints. And that starts with paying attention to the Christmas gifts they buy. Shopping smart means shopping local and sourcing out food and gifts that are made here in the Lower Mainland. In some cases, it might be giving an experience instead of a gift that requires wrapping paper, tape and a printed card.

It could also mean looking further into the ethical, human rights and sustainability practices of corporations with which you do business. Do they track greenhouse gas emissions and those of their suppliers? Are they reducing waste, limiting the use of fossil fuels and ensuring their workers are paid fairly? These might seem like complicated questions that take the fun out of Christmas shopping, but they are

useful for those interested in making a difference in their world. It’s also fun to see where some of the packaged food and goods come from.They are almost always being delivered by ship, truck, air or rail (or a combination of several modes) from somewhere thousands of miles away. Last week was B.C. Buy Local Week, and the provincial government recognized 500,000 small businesses that collectively employ

more than a million people and account for 53% of the province’s private-sector employment. B.C. also leads other provinces in gross domestic product (GDP) generated by small businesses, at 34% of overall provincial GDP. Those are considerable milestones, but the average person needs to look more carefully at how they shop. Can you get to the mall by foot, bike or transit rather than a car or SUV? Can you do some shopping at a

craft fair or farmers market to buy goods that didn’t require a gasoline- or dieselfuelled semi truck to drive thousands of miles to get to Burnaby? Sure, it’s easy and convenient to shop online, and it saves a trip to a store, but consider all the greenhouse gases emitted by delivery companies getting your goods to your door, and the tonnes of cardboard, plastic and other materials these products are wrapped in. When you shop on-

line, your money goes out of your community and doesn’t circulate in your local economy. Even a blend of online and local shopping could help in the battle to fight climate change, because every little bit helps. So rather than pointing fingers at others to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, it might be time to review our own carbon footprint, and that starts with taking a close look at how, when and where we buy.

MY VIEW BOB HACKETT

Singh can apply pressure on TMX Re:An open letter to federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh: The 2019 federal election has given you a golden opportunity.To be sure, your party’s caucus was reduced in size, but in a minority government situation, you have a pivotal position in influencing the direction of the next Liberal government. With one single policy, you can show a firm commitment to a fundamental plank in your party’s platform to end subsidies to fossil fuels, and to take firm action on the climate crisis – render meaningful your welcome declared opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project (TMX), and also represent your constituents in Burnaby, which disproportionately bears the brunt of TMX’s potentially devastating environmental risks (including pipeline ruptures, tank farm explosions, and super-tanker collisions). That policy is to pledge to vote against any speech from the throne that proposes completion of TMX, and any federal budget that includes public funding for that project. While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the fossil fuel lobby have done everything possible to make TMX seem inevitable, it is not. It cannot proceed without an injection of further billions in public funds for construction and liability insurance. Major challenges from First Nations are before the courts. And if a sober look at the business case for the pro-

ject could supplant its role as a political symbol, its economic risks would become more evident. Independent analysts like Robyn Allan and J. David Hughes have argued compellingly that there is no large Asian demand for Alberta’s bitumen,TMX will not hugely increase its per-barrel price, relatively few permanent jobs will be created, competing delivery routes will be online soon, and the existing capacity of Canadian pipelines is not efficiently used.The cancellation of TMX spending could save Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars. And if by chance TMX does help expand Alberta bitumen sands production, it will shred Canada’s shrinking reputation as a climate leader and our chances of meeting our Paris climate accord commitments. At the same time, a just transition to a low-carbon economy means that resource-dependent regions and workers should not disproportionately bear the costs. The hundreds of thousands of jobs that the NDP called for through shifting public investment and subsidies from fossil fuels to renewables, should prioritize sun-rich Alberta and Saskatchewan. Now is the time to ask you, as a federal party leader and the MP for Burnaby South, to accept a historic role in helping to create the new economy that we desperately need. Bob Hackett writes on behalf of Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion.

Canine cop is honoured

A beloved canine cop got a golden pawshake after 10 years of active duty with Burnaby RCMP’s “D” Squad. Rocky came to the RCMP after being rescued from the SPCA. His career took him to the 1994 Stanley Cup riot, the 1992 manhunt for serial killer David Alexander Snow in Mount Seymour Park and the 1990 helicopter escape at Kent penitentiary. But Rocky’s worst career injury came not in a chase with a felon but in a fight with another police dog. “He got 15 stitches in his back leg and was off work for 10 days,” said his human partner, Cpl.Walt Rossa.

Ride-hailing firms should be treated like taxis Editor: Re: “They are taxis”: Burnaby to charge ride-hailing companies same fees as cabs, NOW News I, for one, applaud council’s decision to see the world as it really is, not the fantasy world advanced by huge billion-dollar multinational corporations. Frankly, “ride-hailing” is a meaningless term, propagated by who? Possibly some large corporations from mostly south of the border that want to pretend what they do is something friendly and so hugely beneficial to the local community that this myth warrants a different set of rules. I would be the first to agree that taxis need to improve, as any industry must to remain competitive, but to disguise “ride-hailing” as something different is disingenuous at best. I say safety first, so let’s make sure that any “forhire” operator on Burnaby roads is not putting passengers and the rest of us in danger. Plus, if any business is going to use Burnaby roads as core to their service offering, then we taxpayers that have the privilege of paying for said roads, well, then such businesses must pay their fair share. Absolutely, bring on new operators, with new business models – taxis get no free pass here. At the same time, let’s ensure what has worked for decades remains viable, without tilting the playing field by pretending we cannot see what is desired here by a few greedy corporations. And to council, if a regional approach is pos-

sible, great – but at the same time, stick to your principles that resulted in the current policy just adopted. Joe Sulmona, Burnaby

Parents: Please raise your boys better Editor: Hey Burnaby neighbours: Do you have an older boy or young man in your life? Would you please talk to them for me? On a recent evening run in the area of Byrne Creek Community School, I noticed a group of young men stopped looking in my direction. As I passed them, one yelled out loudly and aggressively, “Ya b***h, keep running!” I got the sense that the group found this hilarious. I did keep running, with my hand on my phone. Honestly, though, I was less scared than furious. How is it that that group of young men found harassing a woman in their neighbourhood funny or OK? If you have an older boy or young man in your life, please tell them how you would feel if you found out it was them yelling, “Ya b***h, keep running!” at girls or women in their community. You probably think it wasn’t your son or friend or teammate, but at least five of you will be wrong. Please, have a direct conversation with your sons, friends and teammates about this. Tell them in absolute and no uncertain terms that you expect more from them. Marnie Conklin, Burnaby

Burnaby actors take centre stage in Gateway Theatre’s holiday production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The Tim Rice-Andrew Lloyd Webber musical is onstage at the Richmond theatre from Dec. 12 to 31. Starring as Joseph is Burnaby’s Oliver Castillo, with fellow Burnaby resident Chelsea Rose as Narrator, Jacob and Mrs. Potiphar. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which tells the biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colours, was first produced for the London stage in 1973 and on Broadway in 1982. It has seen many major revivals in the decades since, including a continental tour of Canada and the U.S. with Donny Osmond in the title role. For this production, director Barbara Tomasic, working alongside musical director Christopher King, has decided to add a twist on the traditional Egyptian setting. “We have decided to set our Joseph in the presentday dream world of a child who, through Joseph’s story, is shown that realizing your dreams takes learning, perseverance, luck and love,” she said in a press release.

Burnaby RCMP honouring Keian’s legacy Toy drive remembers youngster who started collecting toys for sick kids when he was just five years old Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP is doing something new to honour the legacy of Keian Blundell, a young boy who started collecting toys for sick kids in 2012, when he was just five years old. Battling leukemia, he had been discharged from BC Children’s Hospital in time to celebrate Christmas at home that year, but he felt bad for the other kids who had to spend the holiday in the hospital, so he collected toys to cheer them up. Keian lost his fight against cancer in 2014, but

his family has kept his legacy alive through the annual Keian’s Holiday Wish Toy Drive. Burnaby RCMP has supported the toy drive from the beginning by collecting toys internally. This year, however, the detachment is also collecting donations from the public for the first time. “We have decided to ask the public to help us deliver even more toys to BC Children’s Hospital this holiday season,” Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in an emailed statement. Donations of toys and cash can be dropped off at

any of the locations below. ! Burnaby RCMP Main detachment – 6355 Deer Lake Ave. ! Hastings-Brentwood Community Police Office, 104-4191 Hastings St. ! Lougheed Community Police Office, 178-9855 Austin Ave. ! Donald N. Brown Community Police Office, 7191 Arcola Way ! Southwest Community Police Office, 4501 Kingsborough St. Burnaby RCMP will deliver the toys to BC Children’s Hospital next Tuesday (Dec. 17).

For Keian: Burnaby RCMP are collecting toys to honour the legacy of Keian Blundell. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Mayor Mike Hurley introduced the motion. “We’ve just been stepping it up as we’ve gone along to ensure that we’re becoming as inclusive as possible, both on the LGBTQ and the aboriginal rights,” Hurley told the NOW. “It’s important to me that we’re as inclusive as possible.” A number of committee members, including Coun. Pietro Calendino, were unclear about what the letters LGBTQIAS2+ stood for. “I just need an explanation because this terminology keeps changing,” he said. “IA2S has been added; what do they stand for?” One staff member said, “I’m OK up to Q.” “Some days I have to Google it,” Hurley said. “In any case, it’s all part of human rights legislation; it’s really a no-brainer for us.” No date was specified for the policy update or the formation of the working group. (LGBTQIA2S+ is an acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning, intersex, asexual, two-spirit.The + symbol stands for other ways people self-identify.)

Five good reasons to shop local for Christmas Why does it matter if you support local merchants? The Heights Merchants Association has these ideas Katrina Caguioa special to the NOW

As the season of decorating, hosting and gift shopping approaches, many of us find this time of year a bit stressful. Fortunately, Burnaby Heights has more than 330 businesses and shops for everything on your holiday list. Below are five good reasons why we should shop locally this holiday season and support our neighbourhood merchants. 1. UNIQUE FINDS One of the benefits of shopping locally means finding something special and unique that chain stores might not have. 2. BETTER SERVICE Local businesses are owned by people who live in your community. Our merchants are known for their

passion and warm smiles. Business owners know their products very well and are happy to go the extra mile to help you with your needs.

Remember that big box stores don’t do a little jig when they make a sale. Make someone jig this year.

3. BOOST THE LOCAL ECONOMY According to B.C. Buy Local, when you spend $100 with a local business, $63 is recirculated back into the local economy com-

pared to $14 from multinational businesses. Businesses help provide jobs, recirculate revenue to the local economy, donate to neighbourhood charities, and many more. By shopping on the Heights you are supporting a friend, a neighbour and the community. 4. ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABLE Because our shopping district provides a wide variety of choices, walking from store to store is more accessible and can reduce fuel consumption and carbon footprint. It is also very accessible by transit. And, if you drive, the drive is much shorter, too, because it’s close to home. 5. LESS STRESSFUL Shopping locally removes the stress of battling through the large crowds at

HAPPY HOLIDAYS: Santa Claus strolls through the Heights during a past Light up the Heights event on Hastings Street. The Heights Merchants Association is offering up some tips on why it’s important to shop local this festive season. PHOTO NOW FILES shopping malls. Local businesses value you, the shopper.There is nothing like going to your local shop and being greeted by name.

This holiday season, remember that big box stores don’t do a little jig when they make a sale. Make someone jig this year. Support local, shop local.

Katrina Caguioa is the marketing and event coordinator for the Heights Merchants Association.

It’s the last hurrah for this family’s dazzling display One of the best parts of the Christmas season is driving or walking or cycling around Burnaby and checking out people’s Christmas lights. One of the city’s perennial favourites is the display set up each year by Tina and Herb Sherwood. But they’ve decided this

year will be their last. “With sadness in my heart, we announce that this will be our last Christmas lights display,” wrote Tina. “My husband spends most of November outside, and, if you notice, our yard is not easy to decorate – odd angles, slopes and flower beds everywhere.”

Be sure to check it out until Jan. 5 at 5951 Baffin Pl., just off Oakland Street near Royal Oak Avenue.

Got a musical instrument to share? He’s spearheading a donation drive Do you have a musical instrument stuffed into the back of a closet that no one ever plays? Instead of taking up space and making you feel guilty, those instruments could inspire and uplift a budding musical talent – and earn you a tax receipt. Punk rock legend Joe Keithley of the world-renowned band D.O.A. wants to have the guitar, tuba, flute or whatever instrument you never play, get you a tax receipt for it, and put it into the hands of a young person in Burnaby. Splitting his time between playing gigs and serving Burnaby as a city councillor, Keithley is working to share the benefits of music with Burnaby children who want to play music but cannot afford instruments or lessons. He has teamed up with Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley and the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society to raise money and promote

the program. Now he has the Burnaby Artisan Farmers Market on board, too. Keithley will be at the market with Burnaby firefighters and some musical friends on Dec. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.They will accept instruments that are in reasonable condition. If you have something large – a piano or drum kit, for example – you can email Keithley first: joe.keithley@ burnaby.ca. “Music is universal. It can overcome poverty, hatred and it can unify people,” said Keithley. “That’s why I’m calling this program Harmony for All, because deep down we all know that love and understanding wins out over hatred every time.When I was an awkward teenager at Burnaby North high school, I had a hard time making friends.That all changed when other kids realized I was becoming a musician.

Music for all: Burnaby city councillor (and punk rocker) Joe Keithley is spearheading a musical instrument donation drive to help provide instruments for young people whose families can’t afford them. He’ll be at the farmers market this Saturday to take donations of used instruments in reasonable condition. PHOTO NOW FILES

parents may not have the money for instruments and lessons to get on the lifealtering path that learning music can be. Music provides structure and helps keep kids safe, off the street, and helps with cognitive development that accelerates understanding of math and

science.” Instruments will be assessed for value, and charitable tax receipts will be provided for the 2019 tax year. Contact Keithley at 604802-5722 or 778-865-6972, or email Joe.Keithley@ burnaby.ca.

City now Slow down and keep kids safe Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When I was in Grade 6, I volunteered to join the school patrol program. On my allocated day of the week, I would stand at an intersection either before or after school, wearing a reflective vest and holding a stop sign.When people would approach the crosswalk, I would step out onto the street, stop sign held horizontally in front of me, and make sure each pedestrian crossed the street safely. As a thank you for our time, the school board would host all of the school patrollers around the city at a full day of fun at Playland. We had the amusement park to ourselves, and it made all of those rainy days of patrolling the street totally worthwhile. Nowadays, I don’t see any school patrollers strutting across the street for the safety of their peers. Instead, I see parents zooming

through the school zone going well over the speed limit. I see drivers pulling into driveways to turn around and then hurriedly backing out without checking their rear-view mirrors. And it’s not just the drivers that are causing the problems. I also see parents looking down at their phones as their little ones rush across driveways and intersections, and kids on their bikes turning without hand signals and cutting corners to save time. I see near-accidents on the regular, and I’m not really sure what’s changed since my childhood days. According to the Aviva Canada Road Safety Survey, “37% of parents have witnessed a car collision or near miss in a school zone, and over 70% of those involved a child,” in the past year alone. I get it; you’re in a hurry to get to wherever you have to go, and you’re distracted by your day’s to-do list. But guess what, we’re all in a hurry. Is being on time really more important than

being attentive and making sure that other children are safe? Every school seems to have their own drivethrough and drop-off system. Some offer assistance into the school as parents drive by, while others, like the school that my children attend, leave parents to their own devices – and this may be the most dangerous decision of all. According to a report by Transport Canada, “an average of 156,000 people are injured or killed on our roads, and road-related injuries remain the number one cause of death for Canadian children under the age of 14. In addition, 30 child pedestrians and 20 children on bicycles are killed each year – along with injuries to over 2,400 child pedestrians and 1,800 children on bicycles.” It’s time to change these numbers. Thankfully, a new social impact campaign has been launched to help keep our kids safe. Aviva Canada, an insur-

ance company, has teamed up with Parachute, a leader in safety and injury prevention, to launch the Take Back Our Roads elementary school road safety guide. From assessing the current road issues that surround each school, to implementing change to keep our kids safe, the guide is intended to be used as a valuable program that can help reduce the dangers on the road. Let’s just hope that parents and school take these important matters seriously. When it comes to keeping our kids safe on the roads, the solution isn’t to just encourage more families to walk and bike. Instead, we need to make sure that parents, kids, teachers and the general public are aware of important road safety rules – both as pedestrians and as drivers – if we want to make the situation better in this city.

Communitynow Four gifts you can give for a kinder Christmas editorial@burnabynow.com

The perfect gift is the one most needed. This season, consider four gifts that we often take for granted. MOBILITY AND PHYSICAL INDEPENDENCE Unable to stand or walk without crutches, I’ve been dependent on my family these past two weeks. Almost everything takes twice as long: getting out of bed and to the washroom, showering, dressing, preparing meals and simply negotiating stairs. I have even greater empathy for my elderly patients – and those with back and limb disabilities – for whom getting up from a chair and onto an exam table is a precarious effort. At any time, a fall is possible. Many of our elderly are at high risk for falls at home and would benefit from a homecare assessment from

day season and resolving to lose weight in the NewYear, the cost of food is rising. Many of your neighbours are struggling to get enough nutrition. The Canada Food Price Report recently released from Dalhousie University and the University of Guelph predicts that in 2020, the average Canadian family will spend $487 more on food than in 2019. With rising housing costs, some families can’t afford

their daily meals. Though food banks may get more food donations during the holiday season, the need is present all year long.There are food banks open throughout Greater Vancouver on most days of the week.The schedule is available at foodbank.bc.ca. Consider making a cash donation.This requires less work for the volunteers, allows the food bank to take advantage of bulk buying and may ensure a better

A SAFE HOME I’m not able to drive at the moment, but I feel lucky to have a car. Because of the disproportionate cost of housing, I know of many for whom their vehicle has taken the place of their home. One of my patients, though working, cannot afford to rent and sleeps in his car each night. For those without nearby family, the loss of a job can herald homelessness. It can happen to almost any of us. Consider a donation this year to the Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby (burnabyhomeless.org) or the Progressive Housing Society, which won the Burnaby Board of Trade’s Best Non-Profit Award for 2019. Burnaby has three warming centres that are open from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. from Nov. 15 to March 30.They provide overnight shelter, hot beverages and snacks for the vulnerable in our community.They are locat-

FAMILY AND FRIENDS Though some social gatherings may seem an obligation, consider the many among us who do not have family and friends with whom to celebrate. Newcomers and the elderly living alone can be socially isolated in our big cities. Neighbourhood Houses have been created to fill the need for social support and connections. Burnaby has two Neighbourhood Houses: 4908 Hastings St. in North Burnaby and 4460 Beresford St. in the Metrotown area. See burnaby nh.ca.

Communitynow BURNABY SPOTLIGHT ST. JOHN AMBULANCE

Local brigade pays tribute to war veteran The Burnaby division of St. John Ambulance and its younger cadets paid a special visit to Peggy Lee, a Second World War veteran of St. John Ambulance, to pay their respects. Lee is 96, and, during the war, she served on the home front as a volunteer for the St. John’s Ambulance Corps, where she joined an all-Chinese platoon of 20 women. During the First and Second World Wars, St. John Ambulance was a part of the Voluntary Aid Divisions (VAD), where Canadian women volunteered for duty in uniform with training in first aid. Lee shared her service with the cadets and why it was important. “It was a good experience for me because it made me part of something,” she said. “It was an honour to be part of helping Canada and helping Canadians. I am a Canadian first, Chinese next.” “It was an honour to meet 96-year-old WW II vet Ms. Peggy Lee today,” said Raymond Chao, divisional superintendent 389c St. John Ambulance Burnaby division. “While I do not know her personally, I felt an instant connection through our work with St. John Ambulance. It was truly a humbling experience.” Richard Liu, honorary brigade division president, agreed. “It’s indeed a special day as St. John Ambulance has centuries of heritage and tradition, and not every day one gets a chance to meet and salute one of our oldest living SJA members, and a World War II veteran,” he said. “We were very honoured to represent Burnaby’s SJA Division 398c to pay a holiday visit and present her with a SJA scarf, a Christmas card signed by all our division members, and a bouquet of flowers. The joy on her face when she received the gifts, particularly the flowers, was absolutely priceless. A truly meaningful start to the holiday season.”

How can parents help kids deal with anxious feelings?

Anxiety is the most common mental health disorder of childhood and adolescence, with almost one in three adolescents (31.9%), meeting criteria for an anxiety disorder by age 18 (Merikangas et al., 2010). Anxiety is the unpleasant feeling that arises in situations perceived as threatening. MAUREEN MACKINNONAnxiety symptoms fall into three categories: MCQUARRIE, PH.D. physical sensations, actions, and thoughts. Physical symptoms include headaches, butterﬂies (aka stomach aches), increased heart rate, and excessive sweating. Parents can help children by staying calm, patient and supportive. Teach and model progressive muscle relaxation, diaphragmic breathing, mindfulness and meditation activities (see Mindshift app). These activities build awareness of how the body responds to anxiety and how to alleviate the body sensations of anxiety Teach kids that anxiety is a transient experience that everyone experiences. http://youth.anxietybc.com http://childmind.org/guide-a-teachers-guide

ASK A PRE-ARRANGED ADVISOR

Q A

Why is it a good idea to consider pre-planning a cemetery property and funeral arrangements?

Families and individuals who preplan their own funeral and/ or cemetery services have the advantage of being in full control of the process and making decisions that exactly CHRIS ABEL suit their needs and budgets. Just like other Sales Manager Community & Prearcosts of goods, everyday necessities etc. rangement Services the costs of funerals and cemetery property are subject to inﬂation and price increases. Locking in at today’s rates provides a perfect opportunity to hedge against future price increases. But even more importantly, it allows families to make important decisions now, at a time when everybody can still voice their preferences and wishes. This eliminates the need of having to make these decisions at a later date, when a loved one has passed away, and nobody really even knows what their wishes and preferences might have been. Sorting out the arrangement process has often been described by surviving family members as “the greatest gift” the loved one could have given them. FOREST LAWN & OCEAN VIEW CEMETERY & FUNERAL HOME

HOWARD LOUIE We have seen many challenges in the housing market over the past few years. Housing prices have been up and down; housing sales were down but have rallied in many areas of the country in the last half of 2019. The government also introduced the First Time Home Buyer Incentive. Yet, affordability continues to be a hot topic across Canada. Interest rates inched up slightly for variable rates and lines of credit but on Wednesday, Dec 4, the Bank of Canada left the Prime lending rate at 1.75%. Growth in Canada did slow in the third quarter of 2019, yet consumer spending expanded moderately, supported by stronger wage growth. Housing investment remained strong throughout the year. We’ve also seen a slight increase to fixed-rates due to the upward pressure on bond yields and increases to the cost of funds. Still, rates are relatively low – perhaps this is the new normal. According to a recent report from RE/MAX, an increase in consumer confidence could be a key factor affecting the housing market in 2020. The report found that Canadians have adjusted to the mortgage stress test, which was introduced three years ago, and only two-in-ten Canadians say that the mortgage stress test negatively affected their ability to purchase a home in 2019. The report also found and that older millennials are now moving into their peak earning years and will drive the market in 2020. RE/MAX found that more than half (51%) of Canadians are considering buying a property in the next five years, especially those under the age of 45. This is up from 36% at the same time last year. British Columbia Consumer confidence in early 2019 was shaky -the number of sales declined by 7% cent. However, confidence is returning and most regions are experiencing a balanced market. The prediction is that BC will continue to strengthen through 2021 and become a powerhouse once again.

Q A

How can I get a mortgage if I bought pre-sale?

Many buyers who bought presale 2-3 years ago are having difﬁculties to get a mortgage from the bank upon completion of the property with all the changes in mortgage HOWARD LOUIE Manager, Mortgage Broker policies. One of the options is to use private lenders. Buyers usually put 20% down payment on new construction. With market value increased over the past 2-3 years, buyers should have at least 35% equity in the property based on appraisal value. These lenders will lend based on the appraisal value and not on the purchase price. This will give buyers extra equity so they will not have to come up with more money for completion. This is a short term solution for buyers to complete the purchase on time. This will give the buyer some options to either sell the property or reﬁnance once the market improves.

Burnaby’s Rizzo gathers speed on Express train In his last season in the BC Hockey League, the BurnabyWinter Club product is setting a good example

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

You could have lit the darkest nook of the Poirier Sports Complex with the smile that Massimo Rizzo wore a few weeks ago. The Coquitlam Express forward had plenty to grin about, as his team leapfrogged that night’s rival to take over the top spot in the B.C. Hockey League, and has not looked back. Oh, and that night’s opponent also happened to be the team that traded Rizzo last summer. “We’re just playing our game, playing confident.We’re playing great at home because we’re sticking to what we do best and just keeping it simple.We’re not really changing anything, so we just continue to roll along,” Rizzo said after Coquitlam blasted the Penticton Vees 7-2. A week later, the Burnaby native was called to wear the red and white and chosen to be captain for Team Canada West at the World Junior A Hockey Challenge, which began last week in Dawson Creek. That tournament, where the team has gotten off to a slow start and still seeks its first win, runs until Dec. 15. The past 12 months have been a bit of a rollercoaster for the 18-year-old sniper. A nagging injury, a premature exit in last year’s playoffs, getting dealt closer to his family in Burnaby and a day later drafted by the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes were just part of the saga. But those peaks and valleys have been put in the rear view mirror, and Rizzo is glad to ride out the good times. Officially in his third season in the BCHL, the Burnaby Winter Club product has faced his share of challenges. In his first two years in Penticton, Rizzo missed nearly 40 games due to injuries. What was viewed as a troubling back ailment was eventually traced this past offseason to a torn hip muscle, which resulted in off-season surgery. Coupled with the immeasurable changes brought on by the trade and being drafted, and it’s easy to GATHERING SPEED: The Coquitlam Express’ Massimo Rizzo, at right, barrels past a Penticton rival see how someone could have been overduring a recent game at the Poirier Sports Centre. The Burnaby native is thriving with a new team this season.

role with a club whose confidence hasn’t ebbed since the start of the season.The Express ended November with six straight wins, and in his absence has added three more in December. Perfect at home, Coquitlam’s 28-5-0-0 record sits atop the league, putting five points between them and Penticton since that Nov. 20 victory. “Massimo has made a huge impact since getting into the lineup,” remarked Fortier. “As an athlete, once you’re on the ice that’s when the easy part is. After going through the surgery and the rehab, those are the dark hours for an athlete. “I think he’s just scratching the surface of what he can do in this league. He has the ability to be one of the league’s top players.” Fortier’s crew has ripped through the league and, besides a one-week blip where they sandwiched two losses around a pair of wins, have been a runaway train charging past its rivals. Over 21 games, Rizzo has contributed nine goals – seven of the powerplay variety – and 14 assists. Four of his goals were game winners. Team captain Drew Cooper said Rizzo’s presence has bolstered the on-ice attack as well as the off-ice chemistry. “Obviously, you see (Rizzo’s) stats and he’s been great. He’s been one of our top players all year, and we’re looking forward to having more of that going forward,” said Cooper. For Rizzo, the transition from Penticton, where the team draws crowds of 3,000 fans, to Coquitlam, where a smattering of 500-plus is considered average, has gone smoothly.There’s the bonus of being near old friends and family, including his mom’s home cooking. He’d love to see the team’s success continue through into March. “The success we’ve been having on the ice, hopefully everyone in the community sees, and they come out and support us. I think the fans are getting better each and every game, and if we can keep this going hopefully more will come out and see what we can do.” Beating Penticton in a blowout was the kind of signal that not only opened the eyes of those around the league, but also was a re-affirming jolt to the team’s own confidence.The Vees program has been the league’s status symbol, built each year around star recruits, with sons of NHL allstars Tony Amonte, Scott Niedermayer and Doug Weight on this year’s edition.With Continued on page 35

Lacrosse mourns loss of hall-of-famer of many talents

The sport of lacrosse has lost one of its biggest boosters. Burnaby native and Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame member Sohen Gill died last Friday at the age of 78. Western Lacrosse Association commissioner Paul Dal Monte said whenever he had any questions about the machinations of overseeing a seven-team league, the answer usually began with ‘Ask Sohen.’ “I think he was probably my first call when I took on this (position), because he’d been there and done that several times over, and he knew everyone, not just here in the Lower Mainland, but across B.C. and across the country,” said Dal Monte. “His

name was synonymous with the game of lacrosse, and his fingerprints are all over the game.” Gill’s impact on the sport was so broad, that longtime colleague and friend Paul Rowbotham said you couldn’t pidgeonhole him in one specific role. It seemed every hat he wore in the game fit well, he noted. “A lot of the stuff he did was quietly behind the scenes,” remarked Rowbotham. “He may have started in one position, but as it evolved he was just everywhere.” A prominent member of Burnaby’s lacrosse circle – although a number of communities could also claim him as their own – Gill was introduced to the sport at the age

of eight when he joined some friends playing an outdoor game at Burnaby’s Confederation Park. He soon showed a proclivity for scoring, and would become a prominent player with the Norburn junior team in 1961 that advanced to the Minto Cup, falling to the Hastings Legionnaires in the final. The Norburns proceeded to join the Inter-City Lacrosse League, but only lasted one year before folding. He played for Victoria,Vancouver, Burnaby and Coquitlam, before retiring from the sport in 1969. Gill’s contributions only increased off the floor, beginning as coach and general manager of the Burnaby junior team from 1970

to ’72, then Burnaby’s senior B squad from 1972 to ’76. He would take on major management roles in Coquitlam and Maple Ridge, and between them serving as president and commissioner at the league and provincial level, including as longtime head of B.C. Lacrosse. He also spearheaded masters lacrosse in B.C. “He was always the guy who had the info and would always close our (phone) calls with ‘Call me anytime.’ For me, his legacy is his giving back to the game. Sohen was always about growing the game,” said Dal Monte. A celebration of life will be held Dec. 18 at the Burnaby Firefighters Hall (1 p.m.).

Chiefs’ win streak stopped

A five-game win streak came to a skidding halt last week, when the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs ran aground to the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds in B.C. Major Midget Hockey League action. The Burnaby-based Chiefs dropped a pair of games, by scores of 4-0 and 5-4, to the T-birds, resulting in the two teams trading places in the BCMMHL standings. The home-and-home series started with a rare 4-0 loss at Burnaby’s 8-Rinks. In Sunday’s rematch, the Chiefs – who draw players from Burn-

aby, New West, the Tri-Cities and Ridge Meadows zones – fell behind 5-1 before the game was 22 minutes old. Although they battled back, they fell one-goal shy. Scoring for the Chiefs were Kaidan Johnson, Ben Fontaine,Thomas Vela and Dylan Smail. Although they sit in fifth place, the squad has a solid 15-6-0 record, and are just two points back of third-place Cariboo, with a game in hand. The team’s offensive leader is Burnaby’s Dante Berrettoni, a former Burnaby minor hock-

ey association product, who stands third overall in league scoring with 18 goals and 11 assists over 21 games. Johnson, also from Burnaby, has 14 goals and 13 assists in 21 games, while teammate Daniel Juca has produced eight goals and 17 points over 18 games to sit among the team’s top-four scorers. New Westminster’s Markus Johansen is one of the team’s pillars on defence. The Chiefs head to Nanaimo this weekend to play the North Island Silvertips.

It’s part and parcel of a young kid’s hockey dream, where he and his fellow Burnaby Winter Club Bruins would see the famous alumni names of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Paul Kariya, Mathew Barzal and Cliff Ronning and dream. That goal of skating in the best league in the world is a driving force, he said. “I have the ultimate goal to play someday in the NHL and I’m just going to continue to work towards that every day,” he said.

Upcoming B.C. Assessment values to ‘reﬂect moderating market’ B.C.’s housing market may already be seeing an upswing following its recent slowdown, but price trends are lagging — and this is set to be reflected in some depressed home assessments, B.C. Assessment announced December 9. Many areas of the province will see home values that “reflect B.C.’s moderating real estate markets,” according to the property valuation agency. Assessor and B.C. Assessment spokesperson Tina Ireland said, “We first saw signs of moderation during the 2019 property assessments. For 2020 assessments, we are seeing a continued ripple effect of a moderating market expanding across the province.” In Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby and the Tri-Cities, single-family homes are generally expected to see a decline in value from the previous year of 10 to Source: BC Assessment 15 per cent.

of the province will see minimal change and even modest increases over last year’s values.” Regions expected to see an increase in home values include some Interior and Northern areas, such as Kamloops, Nelson, Cranbrook, Revelstoke, Prince George, Williams Lake and Terrace.

Other property types Commercial values across the province held their values more consistently, with assessments rising in most areas and remaining generally flat in the Lower Mainland. Industrial property values also stayed very strong, especially in the Fraser Valley, where property assessments are likely to come in between 10 and 35 per cent higher than one year previously. All B.C. property owners will receive their annual property assessment notice in early January 2020. Values are all calculated based on the value of the property on the same date, July 1, every year.

ANTIQUES, COLLECTIBLES & JEWELLERY AUCTION PLUS 1998 MERCURY MARQUIS ESTATE VEHICLE

PRITCHARD, Hazel November 25, 1926 − December 3, 2019 Hazel passed away peacefully at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, the very hospital where she was born 93 years ago. Hazel was predeceased by her devoted husband, Jerry, in 2009 and by their only child, a beloved son, Martin, in 1998. She was passionate about her New Westminster heritage and her desire to make the city her family home. She was blessed with good health, a spirit to seize the moment and a strong constitution that made it possible to live that dream. Her life in New Westminster was full and happy with only two short moves to Prince Rupert and Shalath, BC. After her retirement from Woodward Stores, she and Jerry took numerous cruises and vacations to memorable destinations − never surpassing her most treasured recollection, the thirty years spent at a Honolulu seasonal home where she hosted her family and friends. Hazel’s nieces, nephews, and extended family members would like to thank the staff at RCH for their compassion and care; also those who have been kind and thoughtful to see her dream to remain in her family home come true. Hazel will find her final resting place with her family at the Fraser Cemetery in New Westminster. No service at this time.

TOMS, Donald (Murray) M. July 16, 1935 − November 30, 2019 We are sad to announce the passing of Murray Toms on November 30, 2019, at Surrey Memorial Hospital, due to complications with dementia. He was predeceased by his father, Donald; mother, Hilda; sister, Betty; and most recently his daughter, Tracey on October 1, 2019. He is survived by his wife, Joan; his son, Don (Karen); and his son−in− law, Steve. Murray is also survived by his grandchildren, Tyler, Sarah, Laura, and Michaella; and step−grandchildren, Diego, Mateo, and Sofia. Murray married Joan in 1962 and together they raised their family in New Westminster. Murray operated service stations with Home Oil and Texaco in the ’60s and ’70s, and in 1976 went on to a rewarding career with the BC Automobile Association as a fleet training and driving instructor. Murray loved to help anyone with car problems or around their home. In his retirement years, he could be seen cutting neighborhood lawns or pushing his snowblower for blocks at a time. The family would like to thank the nurses and staff in the N53 unit at Surrey Memorial for their care of Murray. There will be a small family gathering to celebrate Murray’s life in the new year.
