TARGETED FIRE: Burnaby firefighters had to wait for this flaming propane tank to burn itself out on Saturday night on Elmwood Street.

A flaming propane tank that scorched some cedar bushes near a Burnaby house Saturday was among three acts of destruction apparently aimed at the residence that night, according to police.

Just before 9:30 p.m., police responded to a mischief complaint at a house in the 3700 block of Elmwood Street, according to the Burnaby RCMP. Someone had stuck a garden hose into an open window on the main floor, according to a news release. The hose was discov-

ered quite quickly, police said, but not before causing some water damage inside the residence. The officers didn’t find a suspect, but, about twoand-a-half hours later, the Burnaby Fire Department was called to the same residence for reports of a propane tank on fire outside. Assistant fire Chief Stew

Maltman said the shut-off valve on the tank had been compromised, so firefighters had to let the tank burn until the propane ran out. “They just covered the exposures while it burned itself out,” Maltman said. He said the fire, which burned a row a cedar bushes, was now under in-

vestigation. Police said officers also discovered tires on two separate vehicles related to the same residence had been slashed. “These types of incidents can cause a lot of damage and potentially injure members of our community,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Mike Kalanj said.

“We are asking that if you have any information that can assist in this investigation, please contact us.” Anyone with security video or dash-cam footage in the area is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999.To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Citynow BC ELECTION

Here are your candidates in Burnaby

Four BC NDP MLAs are vying for re-election on Oct. 24 Ð By Cornelia Naylor & Dustin Godfrey

ominations closed last Friday for the 2020 B.C. election, and the authority overseeing the vote has published its final list of candidates for each riding. Of B.C.’s total 87 ridings, four are divided between Burnaby’s more than 230,000 residents. Despite the snap election call, both the Liberals and NDP have put together a full roster of candidates throughout B.C., while the Greens rounded up 74 candidates. They’re not the only players in this party, however, with the Libertarian Party, which has fielded a candidate in one local riding, putting forth 25 candidates, the Conservatives putting forward 19 candidates and the Communist and Christian Heritage parties each nominating five candidates. There are also 24 independents running for a seat in this election. But in Burnaby’s four ridings, the three main parties are dominating the tickets, with only one fourth-party candidate in one riding. Here are the candidates vying for your votes: BURNABY-LOUGHEED In the riding of Burnaby-Lougheed, there is a total of four candidates listed by Elections BC, running for the three main parties – the BC Liberals, the BC NDP and the BC Greens – along with a BC Libertarian Party candidate. Here’s who’s in the running: Ð Katrina Chen – BC NDP (incumbent) Chen was first elected to the legislature in the 2017 provincial election, and she immediately took on the role of minister of state for child care. She has worked as an organizer with tenants’ rights advocacy

group ACORN and served on the executive of several local non-profit organizations, according to her legislature profile. Ð Tariq Malik – BC Liberals Malik is an entrepreneur working in construction, development, property management and real estate. He’s described in his party profile as a “devoted community advocate” with “a proven track record of community service and engagement.” In 2018, he was elected president of the Greater Vancouver Bangladesh Cultural Association, in which he founded the Vancouver Bangla School. Ð Andrew Williamson – BC Greens Williamson is a filmmaker and activist who says he decided to combine those roles to run for public office in this election, according to a LinkedIn post. He is a producer with Cedar Island Films, which most recently put out The Magnitude of All Things, a film about grief and hope in the climate crisis. Ð Dominique Paynter – Libertarian In her professional life, Paynter works in children’s programming and has a bachelor’s degree in traditional animation. In a profile of Paynter, the party notes she hasn’t always been interested in politics, but “recent events have catalyzed her to take a stand” and enter politics. BURNABY NORTH Only the three main parties are running in Burnaby North, with the BC Greens and BC Liberals seeking to unseat the BC NDP incumbent. The candidates in this riding are: Ð Norine Shim – BC Greens Shim is the former executive assistant to the chief

financial officer at the City of Vancouver, according to her LinkedIn profile. Prior to her two years in that position, she worked as an executive assistant to the managing director of First Capital, a real estate investment trust. She has also been a travel consultant and a hotel sales manager. Ð Dr. Raymond Dong – BC Liberals Perhaps no Burnaby candidate understands the hearts of local constituents better than Dong. Mind you, that’s speaking quite literally of the cardiologist, whose practice is located in Surrey. Dong also has volunteer experience with advisory councils for Diabetes Canada and the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation, as well as working on the board of the Vancouver Academy of Music. Ð Janet Routledge – BC NDP (incumbent) Routledge was first elected as MLA for Burnaby North in spring 2017 and currently serves as the NDP’s deputy whip. Prior to her time in government, she spent more than 30 years working for the Pub-

lic Service Alliance of Canada, a union representing 200,000 federal government employees. She has also represented workers at the federal Employment Insurance Appeals Board and been involved in several non-profits. BURNABY-EDMONDS In Burnaby-Edmonds, only the three main parties are fielding candidates in this election. BC Liberal candidate Tripat Atwal and BC Green candidate Iqbal Parekh are looking to unseat three-term NDP incumbent Raj Chouhan. Here’s a quick look at each of the candidates: Ð Tripat Atwal – BC Liberals Atwal, a Surrey Realtor who taught high school English and social sciences in her native India, has lived in Canada since 2008.This is her first foray into Canadian politics, but her father, lawyer Charanjit Singh Atwal, is the former speaker of the Punjab Legislative Assembly and the former deputy speaker of the Lok Sabha, the parliament of India. Ð Raj Chouhan – BC NDP (incumbent)

Chouhan, who most recently served as the deputy speaker of the legislative assembly, was the founding president of the Canadian Farmworkers Union and the BC Organization to Fight Racism. He first took the seat in 2005 by a mere 738 votes over Liberal Patty Sahota but has increased his margin in subsequent elections. Ð Iqbal Parekh – BC Greens The NOW has reached out to the Greens for more information about their Burnaby-Edmonds candidate Iqbal Parekh. BURNABY-DEER LAKE In Burnaby-Deer Lake, BC Liberal candidate Glynnis Hoi Sum Chan and BC Green candidate Mehreen Chaudry are hoping to unseat BC NDP incumbent Anne Kang. Ð Anne Kang – BC NDP (incumbent) Kang, most recently the minister of citizens’ services in the NDP government, served nearly three terms as a Burnaby city councillor before stepping down to run for provincial office in 2017. She secured nearly 9,000 votes, beat-

ing out Liberal Karen Wang by nearly 2,500 votes and Green candidate Rick McGowan by nearly 6,800 votes. Ð Glynnis Hoi Sum Chan – BC Liberals Chan, a Burnaby resident who owns Happy Times Travel in Vancouver and Richmond, ran for Vancouver city council in 2018 under Hector Bremner’sYes Vancouver banner. She garnered just over 13,000 votes and came in 36th of 71 candidates. Ð Mehreen Chaudry – BC Greens Chaudry, a project manager and business analyst, also ran for municipal office in 2018, but for the Greens in Burnaby. She got 12,600 votes and came in 13th out of 23 candidates.

“I don’t think it’s bad. I think the limits are artificially low in many places.This gives the illusion of actually being a problem - if you make the conclusion that speed is the menace, not a lack of skill or outright distracted driving.”

Standoff saves city big bucks

The 31-day Gustafsen Lake standoff in the B.C. Interior saved the city nearly half-a-million dollars in policing costs.The confrontation between the RCMP and the Ts’peten Defenders at Ts’peten (Gustafsen Lake) began over unceded Indigenous land and was the largest paramilitary operation in B.C. history, costing about $5.5 million. Among the 400 tactical officers deployed were 15 from Burnaby.Their costs were deferred to the province, raising the city’s anticipated operating surplus by nearly $500,000 that year.

Opinionnow We don’t need a gondola Editor: I am a resident of Forest Grove on Burnaby Mountain and for years have argued against the proposed Burnaby Mountain gondola that may, or may not, run directly over my neighbourhood. As we come to the end of yet another public consultation on the project, my core arguments opposing the project remain but have been strengthened by TransLink’s fiscal situation. In August, TransLink received $644 million of funding from provincial and federal governments to cover net revenue losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. CEO Kevin Desmond said the authority’s losses could range from $600 million to $1 billion over the next year, while the deficit over the next decade could be up to $2 billion. In June, Geoff Cross, TransLink’s vice-president for transportation planning and policy, stated, “Transit ridership will likely remain well below pre-COVID levels until sometime after the pandemic, and its recovery will be heavily dependent on the degree to which people still feel some lasting proximity anxiety; rates of unemployment; and the degree to which the roughly half of workers in our region that are able to work from home continue to do so.” If things are so dire, why is TransLink running largely empty articulated buses every five to

GEORGE GOMORY 20 minutes all day on the R5 and 145 routes up to SFU? Conventional buses on the 144 route are similarly empty. SFU essentially closed its campus in March, and students and staff are not commuting, nor will they any time soon. Countless times I have seen more bus drivers at the SFU transit exchange than customers. Is this what TransLink calls fiscal prudence? Maybe it is. Because these are the very same folks who want to build a gondola with $200 to $300 million they do not have now, and may never have. Throw in around $3 million a year for gondola operating costs. Then adjust all current cost estimates upwards by 25% for inflation and inevitable delays (it was estimated to cost $114 million way back in 2011). There is a very real potential for many years of transit funding uncertainty and huge deficits due to the pandemic. The future reduction in commuting by any mode of transportation will erode both fare revenue and TransLink’s 18.5-cent-per-litre gasoline tax. TransLink’s ability to balance service and expenditures while capping deficits begs some serious questions. TransLink faces the very real prospect being unable to maintain core services, let alone fund the long-promised SkyTrain expansion to UBC and projects south of the Fraser, routes that have much greater potential ridership and positive environmental impacts than a gondola.

Long investigation leads to child porn charges Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A three-year investigation has led to child pornography charges against a 37-year-old Burnaby man. Police were contacted by the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, an American non-profit dedicated to preventing child sexual exploitation, in September 2017, according to a Burnaby RCMP press release. The organization alerted the RCMP to images and videos of child sexual abuse that had been uploaded by an individual in Burnaby, the release said. Throughout 2018 and 2019, police investigated a number of similar reports allegedly linked to the same individual.

Investigators eventually identified a suspect living at a residence in Burnaby and, over the last year, executed warrants and seized a number of electronic devices, police said. Charges of possession and distribution of child pornography were forwarded to the B.C. Crown Prosecution Service last July against Michael Grondine (also known as Michael Grondines) but weren’t approved until this summer, according to Burnaby RCMP. Grondine was arrested on Aug. 27 and has since been released with numerous conditions. He is banned from contact with anyone under the age of 18 and from areas where young people are known to congregate, such as school grounds and playgrounds.

Biker caught again with fake plates Cornelia Naylor

A 37-year-old Burnaby man faces forgery and identity-theft charges after being caught with a fake paper licence plate on a motorcycle twice in less than two months. The man was first caught while riding a motorcycle in the Brentwood area on Aug. 8. Local Mounties ran his plates, which came back as “invalid insurance,” according to Burnaby RCMP. After police pulled the man over, the officers discovered the plate was just

a piece of paper. The motorcyclist was issued $983 worth of tickets

for not having insurance, a licence plate or a valid driver’s licence, according

to police. He was caught again after police responded to an unrelated medical call at a home in a residential area west of Brentwood mall on Sept. 21. During that call, an officer spotted a motorcycle with a paper licence plate in a yard, according to police. It was the same man but a different motorcycle, police said. The man now faces charges of forgery and identity theft since the plate number he used was a valid one belonging to someone else.

Citynow Share your ideas on housing and homelessness Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is seeking the public’s input on its proposed strategy for tackling housing and homelessness in the city. The plan, titled Home: Burnaby’s Housing and Homelessness Strategy, is a followup to the now-defunct housing task force, which engaged over 2,600 residents before putting out its final report last fall. That process comprised

the first two phases of the city’s “Your Voice.Your Home” engagement process on housing in the city. “Following the success of the first two phases of ‘Your Voice.Your Home,’ the City of Burnaby is extending the conversation into three new phases as we develop Home,” reads a statement on the city’s website. “This will be a comprehensive policy document that addresses challenges and opportunities across the entire housing

system, including reducing homelessness, based on the mayor’s task force recommendations.” The city is currently in Phase 3 of the strategy development process, which is centred on the needs, goals and strategies key to the overall plan. Council gave a set of draft goals the go-ahead at a June 23 council meeting. In all, the city identified 23 strategies for tackling the housing crisis. Among the strategies,

Communitynow Anti-racism work in schools starts at the top Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Anti-racism work in the Burnaby school district has started at the top – in the hearts and minds of its highest ranking administrators. In response to worldwide anti-racism protests earlier this year, the Burnaby school board unanimously passed a motion in June directing staff to develop an anti-racism action plan after consulting with community members. As part of the initiative, the district created a brand new district vice-principal position for equity, diversity and inclusion – and hired Coquitlam school vice-principal and anti-racism educator Beth Applewhite to fill it in August. One of the first things she did this summer was a workshop with the district’s top brass, challenging them to dig into their own personal privilege, biases and prejudices. At a recent online school board meeting, superintendent Gina Niccoli-Moen described the experience as “introspective” and “powerful.” NOT ‘SHAMING AND BLAMING’ “The work needs to be individual first,” Applewhite told the NOW. “You have to self-reflect.You have to deal with and ana-

lyze and reflect upon your own bias, your own prejudice, and you have to do the work of recognizing your own privileges, whatever your privileges may be.That’s for everyone, white, black, brown, it doesn’t matter.We all have, especially educators, we have some privileges.” But the exercise isn’t about “shaming and blaming,” she said. “For me it’s just, ‘Let’s learn together,’ and, more importantly, ‘Let’s unlearn together,’” she said. Most of the district’s senior staff were grateful for the time and space to do the work, Applewhite said, and, for some, the exercise was “really eye-opening.” While educators have been having discussions about equity for years, Applewhite said they haven’t always been challenged to look at their own personal biases. “Most people in workplaces aren’t challenged to do so, hence why we have a systemic racism problem in all sorts of institutions,” she said. Applewhite is hopeful things can change, however, and her new position – one of the first of its kind in B.C. – is a testament to that, she said. “I’ve been telling people this day would come,” she said. Similar positions started appearing in places like the Toronto school district

about six years ago, according to Applewhite. STUDENTS ‘THIRSTY’ FOR CONVERSATION A bi-racial woman of Trinidadian and Scottish heritage, Applewhite said her work as an anti-racism educator evolved organically from her work in the classroom as an English teacher. “When it came up in the classroom, which it does as an English teacher because we teach about prejudice; we teach about the historical contexts of racism for different novels, I noticed that the kids were thirsty for the conversation,” she said. “And I knew from staffroom talk and I knew from my teacher training that people were reluctant to have these conversations with students because they felt they weren’t expert enough. For some, they felt they didn’t know enough; for others, they felt scared that it might go sideways really fast and they wouldn’t know how to handle that.” In 2007, while working as the English department head at Moscrop Secondary, Applewhite created the first Black Student Committee at any public school in Western Canada. A year later, she took six students to Chicago, Illinois to witness Barack Obama become the first Black president of the

United States. Coming back to the Burnaby school district – after some years in the Surrey and Coquitlam districts – is like coming home, according to Applewhite. At the online school board meeting last month, she thanked trustees for “taking advantage of this moment in history to use (their) privilege to make a meaningful difference for Burnaby BIPOC children and their families.” “Burnaby’s explicit commitment to fighting systemic racism, bias and discrimination, while honouring the voices of BIPOC folks, students, fam-

ilies, staff and community groups, is not only inspiring, but also empowering,” she said. WORK TO BE DONE Moving forward, Applewhite’s job will be to help lead the task of gathering feedback from BIPOC members of Burnaby’s school communities. She will also continue to provide training, workshops and professional development sessions for staff and presentations to students. Applewhite said the district is also looking at how she can contribute to the conversation around school liaison officers.

The program drew a flurry of criticism amid anti-police protests in the spring, and some, including 16-year-old Burnaby North Secondary student Haleluya Hailu, called for it to be disbanded. “I’m a huge proponent of student voice and family voice,” Applewhite said, “so I will be reaching out to BIPOC youth and BIPOC families as well as community groups because, hopefully, together we’ll come up with solutions and suggestions for how to move forward to where all people at schools feel safe.”

Citynow Burnaby seeks ways to improve experience of local African diaspora Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby will be working to better understand the experience of the African diaspora in the city and seeking ways to improve the lives of people in that community. The move is part of Burnaby’s response to the United Nations’ declaration of the International Decade for People of African Descent from 2015 to 2024. In its declaration, the international body noted the need for greater regional, national and international cooperation to strengthen the diaspora’s economic, social, cultural, civic and political rights throughout the world. In a motion proposed by committee member Élie Lubendo, the social planning committee sought a process for the city to proclaim and implement the International Decade for People of African Descent. City staff returned to the committee – and subsequently city council – to suggest the work be incorporated into existing work. Staff offered five main

points where the city can work toward its goal, including seeking to better understand the experience of Black community members in collaboration with community partners. Staff also suggested the city identify areas where improvement is needed for

We’re also committed to being an inclusive, welcoming and connected community.

the local African diaspora, as well as roles the city, non-profits, community associations and others can each play in addressing those issues. Finally, staff will seek to define areas where the city will need to advocate to higher levels of government. In a report from the planning and building department, staff also noted

the city will need to develop a process to address the issues at hand, which will be defined in a later report to the committee and council. While the report, which was recently passed by council, addressed developing that process in more broad terms, staff noted the followup report will be more specific about what the city will do to achieve its goals. Burnaby is one of a handful of cities in Canada in which there is no ethnic or cultural majority and has one of the largest Black communities in Metro Vancouver. Mayor Mike Hurley said that diversity “is a source of tremendous pride for all of us.” “We’re also committed to being an inclusive, welcoming and connected community, and that means recognizing and honouring experiences of residents of all cultures and backgrounds,” Hurley said. “This report highlights the need to develop actions to fight against all forms of racism and intolerance.”

More units could be added to modular housing development Continued from page 10 low-barrier modular housing, largely intended for those most at risk of homelessness or currently facing homelessness. If the additional units are passed by council, the new building could be operational relatively quickly, due to the modular mode of construction. Councillors gave the existing building final approval in February 2019, and that building was completed by the end of October, a much faster turnaround

than conventional construction. The 43 units are proposed to be studio apartments, while the building would also include shared amenity space and access to support services. Modular housing has been a major part of the BC NDP’s plan to address homelessness, offering hundreds of units throughout the province at a quick pace.The units are low-barrier, meaning there tend to be fewer rules that could lead to the eviction

of tenants. The existing modular building was originally announced in May 2018 but appeared to be mired in delays. In an email obtained last year by the NOW, a BC Housing official told the city its processes for approving projects “came in piecemeal” and were “much more onerous than other municipalities.” Invasive knotweed and engineering requirements also contributed to the delays.

Citynow Alpha gets a rainbow crosswalk Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

There is now only one Burnaby high school without a rainbow walkway – but that school is still waiting to be built. This week, Alpha Secondary School became the second-to-last local high school to get one of the colourful symbols of LGBTQ+ diversity and inclusion.The rainbow colours were painted onto a section of sidewalk last Wednesday near the school’s main entrance. Burnaby North Secondary is now the only local high school without a rainbow walkway, but, because the school is in the process of being replaced, the district said it wouldn’t consider a request to install one until after the work is complete.

High visibility: Members of the facilities team pose with the Burnaby school district’s latest rainbow walkway, installed at Alpha Secondary School last Wednesday.

CHARTWELL CARLTON

Life is better, TOGETHER.

Enjoy a safe, worry-free retirement in Burnaby When you imagine life in a retirement residence, what do you think of? Do you visualize friends safely gathered together to discuss the latest news over a cup of coffee? A home-style meal served hot? Exercising, gardening or watching a movie in the theatre? How about getting to know and trust people who have your health and happiness in mind so you don’t have to worry about things like your personal safety, cooking, cleaning or getting the assistance you need to lead each day to the fullest?

This is the reality of life at Chartwell Carlton, a boutique-style retirement community in Burnaby where you or a loved one can lead a worry-free lifestyle that provides the freedom to live each day as you choose.

Helping keep seniors safe from COVID-19 Canada’s largest owner and operator of retirement communities, Chartwell Retirement Residences is a leader in the senior living sector. Our highest priority is the safety of our residents and staff. While we have always maintained strong infection control protocols, we quickly and decisively implemented enhanced safety measures when the pandemic began, in some cases ahead of provincial health authority directives. Other important initiatives we put into place include rapidly sourcing PPE for staff, requiring masking for all staff, and launching a proactive recruitment campaign.

How you want to live in your retirement years In addition to delicious and healthy meal options, a variety of wellness services and the fact that we’re a pet-friendly residence, one of the most valued aspects of life at Chartwell Carlton is our social and leisure opportunities. Regardless of whether you are outgoing or shy, here you are empowered

to choose from a wide range of programs that can benefit you physically, socially and even emotionally, including exercise classes, themed meals, clubs and outings. Whether your goal is to meet new people, keep active or try your hand at something different, our optional leisure offerings are there to complement your lifestyle— not change it—so you can lead your retirement years exactly how you’d like to.

Location with a view Location is key to finding a place that truly feels like home, and Chartwell Carlton is fortunate to be a part of one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in Burnaby. We are nearby many lakes, parks, forests and walking trails, meaning many of our comfortable suites and light-filled amenity spaces enjoy a great view. In fact, the panorama view of the city and mountains from our two rooftop terraces is nothing short of stunning. On the corner of Canada Way and Gilmore Diversion, Chartwell Carlton is situated just minutes away from Grand Villa Casino and Metrotown SkyTrain, making it easy to travel downtown for appointments or enjoyment.

Spooky surprises for Halloween Brianna Tsang B

It’s that time of the year again, where people are brimming with excitement to celebrate a long-awaited holiday: Halloween! The pandemic has changed the way we celebrate holidays and events, but this will not stop us from celebrating the upcoming festivities.

Citynow Fire Prevention Week focuses on kitchen ﬁres The BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund is challenging firefighters and professional chefs to share kitchen fire prevention tips on social media during Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 4 to 10). The Fire Safety Challenge promotes this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme of Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen – a relevant topic given that B.C. families are spending more time cooking at home due to COVID-19. Firefighters are seeing an increase in home fires started in the kitchen. Cities like Toronto have reported increases as high as 17% due to cooking left unattended. “Kitchen fires are preventable fires.Whether it’s leaving a pot on the stove and forgetting about it or not knowing how to extinguish a grease fire, cooking fires are a leading cause of house fires. Be present when cooking. It could save a life,” says Gayanne Pacholzuk, Burn Fund prevention coordinator. Last year, 851 fires in

B.C. started from cooking, accounting for close to one-third of all structure fires, as reported to the Office of the Fire Commissioner. As a result of these fires, 62 people were injured and $39 million worth of damage was caused. The Burn Fund is launching the Fire Safety Challenge to increase the public’s awareness of fire prevention by offering helpful tips on safe cooking practices and instructions on what to do if a fire breaks out. The posts will feature video tutorials, photos and recipes with straightforward safety tips that will prevent cooking fires. British Columbians are invited to demonstrate what they’ve learned from the professionals by sharing a post to social media and using the hashtag #FireSafetyChallenge. A winner will be randomly selected and will have the rare opportunity to cook with a member of the Fire inYour Kitchen Team of skilled Vancouver

SERvE Up FIRE SAFETY IN THE KITCHEN!™

Cooking is one of the leading causes of home fires and home fire injuries in British Columbia. This year, Fire Prevention Week™ (October 4 to 10, 2020) aims to educate people about the simple but important things they can do to keep themselves and those around them safe from fire in their kitchens and homes. The aim of the 2020 Fire Prevention Week Campaign is to raise awareness on keeping your family safe in the kitchen and BBQ in the outdoors. Check your smoke alarms on each floor. Know the emergency number for your fire department. Lastly, and most importantly, practice your home fire drills on a regular basis.

Stay safe on Halloween: Tips from the BCCDC Cindy Harnett

Glacier Syndicated

Halloween creativity will have to be cranked up an extra notch this year as trick-or-treaters try to incorporate surgical masks into their costumes, build candy-delivery slides, and find alternatives to smoke machines. The B.C. Centre of Disease Control has released guidelines on the best way to celebrate Halloween while remaining safe and reducing the risk of exposure or transmission. Some of the guidelines include advice heard since the beginning of the pandemic, including to wash your hands and sanitize often, while other tips include turning off your porch or entry light and staying at home if you are at all sick or self-isolating. As a general rule, the centre advises skipping parties this year, trick-ortreating in small bubbles of six, and getting creative in ensuring a distance when handing out treats – think of using tongs. Indoor gatherings, big or small, put people at higher risk of getting COVID-19, according to the centre.To that end, consider watching a Halloween movie or

observing other traditions with your household or small social group or bubble rather than hosting a party. PANDEMIC PARTY RULES You should know everyone who attends; no plusones. Don’t pass around snacks, drinks, smokes, tokes or vapes. Be more outside than inside. Keep your space well-ventilated with windows open. Avoid using props that can cause coughing, such as smoke machines. Because hand sanitizer is flammable, be careful around open flames. TRICK-OR-TREATING Respect homes by staying away if the lights are out. Keep to your local neighbourhood this year; avoid trick-or-treating in busy areas or indoors. Trick-or-treat in a small social group of six people or fewer. Leave space between you and other groups to reduce crowding on stairs and sidewalks. Wash your hands before you go out, when you get home and before eating treats. (Keep hand san-

itizer with you if eating treats on the go.You don’t need to clean every treat but you should wash your hands after handling treats. Do not touch your face.) HANDING OUT TREATS Use tongs, a baking sheet or make a candy slide to give more space when handing out candy. Hand out individual treats instead of offering from a shared bowl. Only hand out sealed, pre-packaged treats. Wear a non-medical mask that covers your nose and mouth when handing out treats. Be more outside than inside. If you can, stand outside your door to hand out treats which also ensure kids won’t need to touch the door or doorbell. If you’re not able to remain outside, clean and disinfect doorbells and knobs, handrails, and any other high-touch surface often during the Halloween night. If you are decorating, avoid props that can cause coughing, such as smoke machines. Stick to treats – not tricks. For more information visit www.bccdc.ca.

City employees being called back to offices The end of the city’s work-from-home option has raised concerns among some Burnaby employees Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

City of Burnaby staff are speaking out as the municipality gradually moves to end its workfrom-home option. Some city staff already do not have the option to work from home after a summer that saw many staff on and off working from home to minimize the number of people in the office at any given time. For other staff, the option is coming to an end shortly, while yet more will see the option disappear later. Staff had been given the option to work from home if, for instance, they had a slight cough but otherwise felt well enough to work. This would allow staff to avoid using sick days they wouldn’t normally use. In an email, the City of Burnaby confirmed it is working to end its workfrom-home policy. “We have been returning staff back to work slowly, at differing times based on the safety plans in place,” said city spokesperson Chris Bryan.

“Safety of our staff and the public is our priority.” The change in policies has sparked confusion and frustration among employees who spoke to the NOW on the condition of anonymity for fear of losing their jobs. “I think they are doing a lot of good stuff as well; like, they’re implementing masks, and there’s all the barriers being built” around workspaces, said one staff member working at city hall. The worker also noted there can be some challenges to working from home, including some employees not having adequate computers to work from at home. They said there had been rumours in August of ending work-fromhome policies, but those had been snuffed out by senior management. “So we kind of stopped worrying about it. And then three weeks or four weeks ago, they started talking about it again,” the staff member said. “It’s not that I’m scared; it’s that I’m so confused as to why, when you have

the ability to let us work from home, would you revoke it?” The employee said the major concern for them is the lack of an option for people who show minor symptoms but are still able to work. “Some people might choose, then, to come in when they’re thinking, ‘Oh, it’s just a little sore throat. It’s probably nothing.’You have to make a choice that you didn’t have to make a couple of weeks ago,” they said. The staff member said they haven’t felt like there has been a solid explanation for the change from management. “A lot of people are really pissed, especially the ones with kids and stuff,” they said. “I don’t really know even where it’s coming from. It seems like everyone I’ve spoken to is like, ‘Why are they doing this?’” The timing of the policy change is “indefensible,” said another staff member who reached out separately by email, noting the sharp increase in COVID-19 cases in the

province in the last month or so. According to data from the BCCDC, while the province had commonly seen new cases in the single-digit range in late spring and early summer, those numbers have since risen to record levels. That staff member cited concerns about the ability to keep a safe distance from coworkers.They noted that, while Plexiglas barriers have been set up at workspaces, they are still generally within two metres of one another. The staff member echoed concerns about sick leave and the apparent lack of an explanation

from senior management for the changes. They also added concerns about whether a new policy around masks – which mandates masks in vehicles and facilities “where physical distancing is not possible and where engineered controls are not available” – will be tightly adhered to and enforced. In its statement, the city said the move is part of its “broader program to restart our facilities and programs, as we seek to establish normalcy as much as possible during the pandemic.” “For the public, most

facilities and programs have restarted, operating in new ways to safeguard public health,” Bryan said. “We understand there are varying levels of comfort among staff about returning to the office and, similar to our other facilities, have taken a number of steps to ensure safety and reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.” Those steps include installing Plexiglas barriers to separate workspaces, limiting capacity in meeting rooms, opting for virtual meetings, implementing the new mask policy, enhancing cleaning protocols, providing sanitizing wipes and developing safety plans per WorkSafeBC. “Over the past few months we have resumed visiting shops, services and restaurants, and, more recently, children have returned to school,” Bryan said. “With each step there has been anxiety for many. In the coming days, the city will continue to monitor the situation, listen to staff and support them as much as possible through this transition.”

Communitynow Do you have an up-to-date will? This is the time to act You love your family, right? Well, if you don’t have a will made out, then you aren’t showing them much love. Oct. 4 to 10 is Make-aWillWeek in British Columbia. Its purpose is to encourage the public to

write their will or bring an existing will up-to-date. Making a will is now even easier following recent legislative changes that allow people who are in different locations to use technology to sign and witness a will. The changes will also

soon give electronic wills the same recognition as physical wills. If you don’t have a will, you’re not alone. According to a 2014 report for BC Notaries, just 55 per cent of British Columbians have a signed, legally valid and up-to-date will.

A will is the best way to ensure that the people, charities and organizations you cherish most receive the benefit of your estate. If you die without a will, your estate may not be distributed in the way you would have wished and the costs of administer-

ing your estate may also be higher. Having a will helps ensure that important questions – like who will raise your young children if both you and your spouse die – are answered. The cost to have a will written depends on the complexity of your situa-

tion. Ask a notary or lawyer for an estimate. If your situation is straightforward, you may be able to write your own will using a kit from a store or an online service provider. However, obtaining the assistance of a professional is always a good idea.

editorial@burnabynow.com

Ironically, in the past week, Donald Trump has been inadvertently educating the public about COVID-19. The president has been criticized for downplaying and mismanaging the spread of COVID-19 in his country. Last Thursday evening, it was announced that he had tested positive himself. Lesson:Without a vaccine, none of us is immune to COVID-19. And because of that risk, we have to take universal precautions regardless of our age and general health (and any misrepresentation of the latter). Medical experts have been warning us that large public gatherings, particularly indoor events without social distancing and face masks put us at a much higher risk for infection. Yet Trump’s campaign continued to organize these events and nurtured an anti-mask culture. In the White House, where new cases are being reported each day since the announcement of Trump’s diagnosis, masks and social distancing have not been encouraged or enforced. Lesson: Face masks and social distancing are two of the most effective measures every one of us should take to reduce our risks to others and ourselves.Workplaces have a responsibility to maintain a safe environment for all. Even while being treated at the Walter Reed Hospital,Trump was seen waving from a limousine accompanied by Secret Service agents. He was quickly criticized by physicians at the same hospital for putting others at risk. Lesson: Prolonged exposure in enclosed spaces

– such as this hermetically sealed vehicle – puts others at high risk for infection. If you know – or suspect you have a COVID-19 infection, you have a responsibility to protect those around you. Don’t go to work or school, and avoid social events. Days before the announcement of his diagnosis, the president attended an event at the White House for his Supreme Court nomination where he and many of the guests were not wearing masks or socially distancing. He and others may have been contagious though asymptomatic at the time. Each day, we are learning of more positive cases related to this event. Lesson: One of the most dangerous features of COVID-19 is that it can be highly contagious in the days before symptoms appear.This appears to be one of many superspreader events in which one individual will infect others who in turn will pass it on to others with whom they subsequently contact. Even after knowing that his close aide, Kellyanne Conway, had tested positive for COVID-19, Trump continued his activities as usual taking no precautions to protect those around him. Lesson: If you are in close contact with someone with a confirmed case, you should do what you can to reduce your potential risk to others by at least wearing a mask and keeping your distance.

ASK A COIN & STAMP SPECIALIST

DIGNITY MEMORIAL

I received in the mail a ﬂyer from a company coming to buy coins and gold. How do their prices compare to yours?

This company comes into town from back east a few times a year. I had a mother and daughter come in who JIM RICHARDSON had an offer from them. I offered $2,150 for the gold jewellery they had. This company had offered them $500.

CHARLES CHOI

Another gentleman took silver dollars to them and then came to us. We paid him 300% more than they offered. My ﬁrm belief is that you could take your coins or gold to any reputable in the country and get more than these people offer. I believe that we could serve you better and offer more than they could ever hope to.

ASK A DENTIST

Q A

Why does my dentist use a rubber sheet to cover my mouth during the appointment?

The rubber dam is a sheet of either latex or latex free rubber used to isolate teeth. Holes are punched corresponding to the teeth being treated, secured to a tooth with DR.MORRIS HuANG a clamp, and held taut with an external frame. This allows the dentist to have a clear view of the area. Many dental materials, like white ﬁllings, require the tooth to remain completely dry to achieve the best bond. It isolates the area from the tongue, cheeks, and saliva, thereby reducing chances of moisture contamination. The rubber dam also prevents many of the small tools and products used in dentistry from falling into the mouth and keeps unpleasant tasting items from touching the tongue! It is a win-win when the patient can relax without having to worry they may swallow anything foreign, and the dentist can do their best work!

Q A

Why is handwashing so important in the prevention of spreading germs? Handwashing is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from getting sick.

Washing hands can keep you healthy and prevent the spread of respiratory WENDY J SCOTT and diarrheal infections from one RN, BScN, MA person to the next. Germs can spread from other people or surfaces when you: • Touch your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands • Prepare or eat food and drinks with unwashed hands • Touch a contaminated surface or objects • Blow your nose, cough, or sneeze into hands and then touch other people’s hands or common objects During the COVID-19 pandemic, you should also clean hands: • After you have been in a public place and touched an item or surface that may be frequently touched by other people, such as door handles, tables, gas pumps, shopping carts, or electronic cashier registers/screens, etc. • See www.cdc.gov/handwashing for more information.

CHARLES CHOI

For personal planning, what is a will and what are wishes? A will leaves instructions for the handling of an individual’s ﬁnancial affairs, while a living will usually clariﬁes certain general wishes regarding medical treatment. The funeral or cremation service still remains to be planned and paid for.

Your survivors beneﬁt the most when you prearrange. When a funeral or cremation service is not prearranged, someone who may not be aware of your wishes may have to make all of the decisions. Prearranging ensures that your wishes are known. You should make sure that your wishes are recorded in writing and shared with family members and your attorney. You should also keep a copy with your important papers in a place that is easily accessible to your family members. You can contact us to get a free Personal Planning Guide that can help you record your wishes. FOREST LAWN & OCEAN VIEW CEMETERY & FUNERAL HOME

BAILEY, Wendy Lea (1944 - 2020) Langley, B.C.

Wendy passed away peacefully after her long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease, on September 19, 2020, at the age of 75, in her Chartwell Langley Gardens residence. Wendy is predeceased by her parents, Lloyd and Ruth Chamberlayne, and the love of her life and husband, Edward (Ted) Hadley and sisterin-law Faye Chamberlayne. She is survived and will be greatly missed by her sons Kevin Bailey (Lisa) and Jeffrey Bailey, her siblings Janice McFarland (Dennis), Sandy Sackville (David), Douglas Chamberlayne, and David Chamberlayne (Marcia) as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Avid runner, hiker, Zumba enthusiast, music lover, amazing baker, adoring mother, compassionate listener and life coach to all who needed her, Wendy will be in our hearts forever - laughing and smiling. She leaves an indelible, beautiful mark on all who knew her in life. Wendy joins Ted, her “Teddy Bear”, for their next long run.
