Advocate warns city to prevent ‘poor doors’ Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

An advocate for people experiencing poverty and homelessness was given reassurances there likely won’t be any “poor doors” in developments approved for construction in Burnaby. Angela Sealy, CEO of

Westcoast Facilitators Group, in partnership with Atira Resource Society, conducted a public engagement in Metro Vancouver around so-called poor doors.The term refers to mixed developments that have separate doors in the same building for market units and non -market units.

Sealy recently presented the findings of her study to Burnaby’s planning and development committee. The engagement included an online survey and a virtual focus group, with participants from throughout the region. The concept is one that hasn’t come to Burnaby so far, but the poor door

has raised controversies in neighbouring Vancouver and NewWestminster, the latter of which spurred Sealy to take action. “The more people that talk about this, the better off for us to stamp out this – what I’m hoping is not a trend,” Sealy said. Sealy’s survey saw 67 responses, which she said

was not as many as she would have liked but was understandable given the context of the pandemic. Among the respondents, 46 had “negative feelings” about the poor door concept and 27 outright disagreed with it, according to Sealy’s report, while only four respondents agreed with it.

The report noted 46% of the respondents were homeowners, while 22% were renters, 3% lived with family, 3% lived in a coop and 1% stayed in a shelter.Three of the respondents were Burnaby residents, according to the report.

Man dies in apartment ﬁre

Firefighters performed CPR, but he didn’t survive his injuries Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man pulled from a two-alarm apartment fire in North Burnaby on Tuesday has died. Crews were called to an older, three-storey lowrise at 281 Holdom Ave. at 3:35 p.m., according to assistant fire Chief Dave Younger. On arrival, they found heavy smoke and flames showing from a groundfloor apartment in the back,Younger said. Firefighters evacuated about 12 suites and quickly knocked down the blaze, according to Younger. But, during a search, they found an unresponsive man in the apartment, which had been “fully involved,”Younger said.

Firefighters performed CPR on the man for some time before he was pronounced deceased at the scene, according to

Younger. Paramedics also treated three other people at the scene, including one neighbour who, along with

another local resident, had tried to slow down the blaze with garden hoses before fire crews arrived, Younger said.

Hookah lounge owner pleads case to council Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

If the City of Burnaby adopts a bylaw banning hookah lounges, one business owner says she would be out a $2-million investment and on the hook for a 10-year lease. While the issue of second-hand smoke has been the primary reason for banning smoking indoors, Pascal Berro said that’s not an issue with a hookah lounge because people go there specifically to smoke. In August 2019, Berro opened the Living Room Café, a lounge in which patrons can smoke hookah, a fruit-flavoured molasses mixture, through a water pipe. She said 90% of her revenue comes from the product, which comes from some Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures. “Without it, we would be forced into bankruptcy. We have a 10-year lease;

I pay $15,000 a month in rent,” Berro told council. “We also have business loans and debts with personal guarantees.Who will be responsible for this? How will I recover from this? How will we all recover from this?” With 11 hookah lounges operating in Burnaby, Berro estimated there are likely 110 employees reliant on the businesses for their income.Those employees, she noted, could lose their jobs in a pandemic if a hookah lounge ban is passed. The pandemic, too, has affected her ability to pay back the loans she’s used to open the business, with the lounge only at half-capacity since it reopened. Before she opened the Living Room Café, she said she consulted with city officials who said the lounge would be fine to operate under a restaurant licence.

Hookah: The interior of Burnaby’s Living Room Café. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

“My business licence states that I will be serving hookah,” Berro said, noting that she can’t change her business into a restaurant - as one city official had suggested to her - because she was not al-

lowed to add a commercial kitchen by the city due to the venting system. “At that time (of opening), it was not my concern because we were not opening a restaurant, but a hookah lounge.”

In order to meet city requirements, Berro said she invested $200,000 in ventilation for the business. Berro said she felt the city was unfairly targeting hookah for noise complaints at other lounges in

the city. “Why should all hookah lounges suffer due to the mistake of others?” Berro asked. “If a sushi bar violates a bylaw, do you just close that one sushi restaurant, or do you close them all because of one establishment’s mistake?” Berro pointed out her business has not been the subject of any noise complaints or any other issues, including compliance with COVID-19related rules. The issue of hookah lounge bans is particularly important, Berro noted, because it’s a significant part of some Middle East and South Asian cultures. “You will be taking our culture away from us. COVID has brought enough people and families suffering.This will make problems worse,” she said.

Citynow Poor doors called ‘appalling’ Continued from page 1 “Even the people who had never heard of the poor door found it appalling,” Sealy said. In essence, she said the poor door puts “a target on people’s backs,” because it segregates people into clearly defined groups. “Let’s imagine raising children under that situation.You’re telling the children they’re not good enough. So it has far-reaching consequences,” she said. In particular, she took

aim at the perception that renters don’t take good care of the units they are living in. After her presentation, Sealy said she was assured by city officials that the poor door is not something that exists in Burnaby and likely will not in the future. But while Burnaby doesn’t have any developments with segregated entrances, most of the city’s new projects – which are now mandated to include 20% “affordable” rentals – have a similar concept. In-

stead of including the 20% below-market rentals in the same building as the market condos or rentals, they’re put into a different building. “That, to me, is still a bad idea, but it’s a lot better and a lot more inclusive than building one building with separate amenities, separate everything,” she said. That’s because of the psychological impacts of having to go through the poor door every day, Sealy said.

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Topic: ShouldWiFi, charger ports be added at bus stops?

Sometimes a party leader finds themselves trapped in a cycle of missteps, gaffes and controversies that overshadow everything else on the campaign trail. We saw that happen to BC NDP leader Bob Skelly in 1986, Social Credit leader Rita Johnston in 1991, BC Liberal leader Gordon Campbell in 1996 and BC NDP leader Ujjal Dosanjh in 2001. That is precisely the kind of trap BC Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson finds himself in right now, and there is precious little time left in the campaign to escape it. Nearly every day on the campaign has put Wilkinson on the defensive as various controversies derail his attempts to change the channel to something more positive. Whether it is explaining why one of his candidates voted against a rainbow Pride crosswalk or why he was chuckling at sexist comments on a Zoom chat or why another candidate had to be turfed from his party,Wilkinson has had more down days than up ones. However, it is how he has dealt with these controversies (or, to be more accurate, how he has not dealt with them) that appears to be raising questions about his leadership from within his own party. When video surfaced of that Zoom chat showing North Vancouver-Seymour MLA Jane Thornthwaite making sexist comments about Bowinn Ma, the NDP MLA for NorthVancouver-Lonsdale,Wilkinson was slow to respond. He waited more than two days before taking questions about the incident. He then threw Thornthwaite under the proverbial bus, using harsh language to condemn her behaviour. His treatment of her

“How about charger ports on the bus like in a car? Is that possible, so people can charge while riding instead of charging while out in the cold?”

Wilkinson too slow to take action

stood in stark contrast to his inaction when it came to Chilliwack-Kent MLA Laurie Throness, who has for years been linked to homophobic views. Throness was caught in another Zoom chat linking contraception to eugenics, and Wilkinson waited until after it became apparent on social media that an internal revolt was brewing amongst some of his candidates – including sitting MLAs – before taking action. It was all too much for party convention chair Nicole Paul, who unleashed a long Twitter thread criticizing Wilkinson’s handling of diversity-related issues. She said the party under Wilkinson’s leadership “no longer reflects the values I support.” Aside from raising questions about Wilkinson’s leadership, these episodes (and others) have exposed a couple of glaring weaknesses about the BC Liberal Party. One is that it remains rooted in the past and has yet to renew itself along more diverse – ethnic, gender and age – lines that better reflect the demographic makeup of the electorate, particularly in Metro Vancouver. If, for example, the BC Liberals lose their Richmond seats – where their candidates are diverse on a number of levels – that would be a disaster for them. The other is that its tolerance of social conservatism in order to hold political power carries enormous risk. Rita Johnston and the Socreds did that, and things ended badly for them. Unless something dramatically changes between now and election day,Wilkinson and the BC Liberals could face the same fate. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

“It would be a waste of tax money to put WiFi on bus stops when you can just use your own data. People would break chargers and it would cost a ton of money to maintain for little gain.”

Make Life Easier

Editor: An open letter to B.C. Premier John Horgan: I am a passionate public school educator, strong advocate (who wants to ensure) that B.C. students are able to fulfil their educational potentials. My students mean the world to me, and each year I make a very strong commitment to them on their path of learning with me. My students, and all students in B.C., are critical citizens of this province – a population your government has sworn to protect and nurture. You need to keep that promise, Mr. Horgan. Mr. Horgan, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate to you my desperate concerns about the state of thousands of public school classrooms in this province. Tens of thousands of students across B.C. are not getting their educational needs met, special needs children are not getting the services they rightfully deserve and their parents pay taxes for, and there is a critical and growing shortage of teachers in B.C. school districts. Your government promised to do better. I write to you again today, as a B.C. public

school teacher of 22 years, and educator of young children for 34. I have been a supporter, campaign worker, financial contributor, and voter for the BC New Democrats my entire adult voting life. Please know that without a commitment to significantly increase the annual “per pupil funding” amount the Ministry of Education presently funds each B.C. public school student, I will not be able to vote for your party in the upcoming provincial election. Tina Anderson

Lead by example Editor: Before I entered (a B.C. government liquor) store, I was surprised that masks were not mandatory since this is a government-owned business that should be leading by example. Then I realized why they were not mandatory as none of the floor staff that I saw had masks on either. Our provincial government should be setting an example for other business as they preach face masks elsewhere to help stem the spread of COVID-19. Just wondering if they are waiting for a direct call from Dr. Bonnie Henry before they take action on face masks? Phil Dingle

Suspects arrested in tunnelling thefts Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 43-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman both from Port Coquitlam face charges in relation to a series of Lower Mainland break-ins that saw a thief or thieves tunnelling through walls between businesses. Police began investigating on Sept. 3 after getting reports of break-ins in Burnaby, Surrey and the Tri-Cities, according to Coquitlam RCMP. The suspects were believed to be responsible for a large number of breakins that involved tunnelling through businesses, police said. “Police recognize that criminals work across the Lower Mainland regard-

less of city borders, and we are willing to do the same in order to keep people and property safe,” Coquitlam RCMP Sgt. Keith Schendel said in a press release. “Pooling resources and close communication between agencies helped us recognize the similarities in the offences and identify suspects.” After a month-long investigation with RCMP in Surrey and Burnaby, Coquitlam RCMP arrested two suspects on Oct. 9 and 10. Search warrants turned up more evidence, according to police, including stolen commercial safes and tools used to commit multiple offences. Tyson Haden Wagner of Port Coquitlam now faces multiple charges, includ-

ing eight counts of breakand-enter and one count of possession of break-in instruments. Krista Rose Kane, also of Port Coquitlam, faces two counts of break-andenter. None of the charges relate to break-ins in Burnaby. But Wagner also faces charges in relation to an incident in Burnaby in March that involved the same MO, according to Burnaby RCMP. On March 8, at 9:30 p.m., two men broke into a business in the 9800 block of Austin Road, police said. The suspects had come in through the ceiling from a neighbouring business under construction, and tens of thousands of dol-

lars in merchandise was stolen, according to police. Shortly after they left the scene, however, the suspects were pulled over by Port Moody Police and arrested on unrelated charges. During the arrest, the stolen goods were recovered and eventually returned to the business. Wagner and the other man each face a charge of break-and-enter in connection to that incident, according to Burnaby RCMP. Police are reminding business owners to check locks regularly for drilling or damage and doors for evidence of prying.They should also make sure their video surveillance is working properly, police said.

That same night, officers handed out another $2,300 ticket to the host of a house party near Robert Burnaby Park. All three tickets were issued because enforcement officers found there hadn’t

AT THE GALLERY: The work of artist Natalie Robinson is on display in Liminal Home, opening at Deer Lake Gallery this weekend. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED tures 12 days of online and pop-up outdoor events, including music, stories, poetry, films, readings, forums, workshops, talks, visual art exhibitions and more. Check out www. heartofthecityfestival.com. ART AT DEER LAKE Art lovers, be sure to note this one on your calendars: Deer Lake Gallery has a new exhibition opening this weekend. Liminal Home, featuring work by Natalie Robinson, is set to open Saturday, Oct. 24 starting at noon. It will run at the gallery until Nov. 28. Robinson is an emerg-

ing artist from Burnaby who’s completing her bachelor of fine arts degree at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. As a gallery write-up notes, Liminal Home draws its inspiration from the domestic space of “home” – a place that has become more important than ever in a time of self-isolation and quarantine. “In this exhibition, the familiar space is taken, twisted and made strange through the manipulation of imagery to produce new, unfamiliar environments to situate oneself in,” the write-up

says. “Photos of household rooms are altered and transformed into a new reality. Liminal Home lies on the threshold of the intangible – surreal-like spaces emerge from the very real and the very quotidian, and are made into the unrecognizable.” Admission is free, and the gallery has COVID-19 guidelines in place to help keep visitors safe. Prebookings are encouraged. You can book an appointment by emailing info@ burnabyartscouncil.org. The gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. Check out all the details at www. burnabyartscouncil.org.

Citynow Security workers earn city award Five security workers who helped save the life of a suicidal male while on the job have been selected to receive Burnaby’s Public Safety Award for 2020. On Oct. 2, 2019, five workers responded to a man who was openly wielding a knife in a busy, public space in Burnaby. Mike Keller stepped in and took the knife from the male, Richard Lipinski immediately called for emergency services and first aid, and Alan Lay-

ton was first to apply first aid to the male. Keller and Lipinski, along with their co-workers Monty Shaw and Daniel Haynes, assisted with first aid. Lipinski kept paramedics updated on the male’s status until they arrived. “These five men put their own safety aside to come to the aid of a suicidal male.Their bravery, quick thinking and selflessness likely saved the life of the male, and protected members of the pub-

lic from any harm,” a city press release said. “On behalf of the public safety committee, Burnaby city council and Burnaby citizens, I want to tell you how proud we are of you, and thank you for what you have done for all of us,” said Coun. Dan Johnston, chair of the public

safety committee. Due to COVID-19 safety measures, this year’s awards were presented virtually at the city council meeting on Oct. 5.The awards will be delivered to each of the recipients. The Public Safety Awards were established in 2017.

Enjoy a safe, worry-free retirement in Burnaby When you imagine life in a retirement residence, what do you think of?

Our highest priority is the safety of our residents and staff.

Citynow Take time out to appreciate bats

Bat Week in B.C. is on the horizon and, while you’re unlikely see a caped crusader leaping off buildings, conservationists are hoping people will learn more about bats and their benefits. International Bat Week (Oct. 24 to 31) is all about appreciating these animals

and their benefits. Often feared due to misconception and myths, bats are given a bad rap, and Bat Week aims to shed more positive light on the insect-eating creature. “Bats in B.C. help control agricultural and forest pests, as well as mosquitoes in our yards – but

now bats need our help,” said Danielle Dagenais, regional coordinator for the BC Community Bat Program, Metro Vancouver-Squamish area. “The conservation of bats in B.C. has always been important, since over half the species in this province are considered

at risk.With the continuing spread of white-nose syndrome in Washington State, bat conservation is more important than ever as we expect to see impacts in B.C. in the near future.” Find out what you can do locally for bats at www. batweek.org.

Communitynow Missing school slide found in Burnaby backyard Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police have gotten a break in the case of a big, blue slide that went missing from a Burnaby elementary school before the start of school this year. The 10-foot slide was reported missing by Suncrest Elementary School on Sept.14. According to Burnaby RCMP, a groundskeeper noticed the slide, estimated to be worth about $5,000, was missing. Police appealed to the public for help in catching the thief or thieves responsible, and, on Sept. 23,

they got an anonymous tip leading them to the backyard of a residence near the school, according to police. After “significant investigative work,” police executed a search warrant and seized the slide, police said. Unfortunately, it had been damaged and won’t be suitable for use in the playground. Police are continuing to investigate how the slide came to be in the homeowner’s possession, according to police. No charges have been laid at this time. “We are aware of the

impact that this theft had on children and families in our community, so the

al rtu i V

na io t o om r P

fact that the slide can no longer be used is not the result we wanted,” Burn-

n ve lE

aby RCMP Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in a press release. “We are thankful for

the community support in this theft investigation which is ongoing.”

Haunted House Cancellations It is with a heavy heart that we must regretfully cancel our annual haunted house tradition at our Kerrisdale and Burnaby Crest stores due to safety concerns surrounding COVID-19. We hope that you will be able to enjoy a spooky Halloween Eve without us this year, but most importantly, a SAFE ONE.
