2020: A year to remember, a year to forget

A YEAR IN PHOTOS: COVID-19 impacted our lives in so many ways in 2020. For much of the year, people gathered at Burnaby Hospital each night at 7 p.m. to pay tribute to health workers (top left photo contributed and bottom left photo by Megan McLellan). The hospital had a rough year with multiple COVID-19 outbreaks and a fire that was deliberately set (top right photo by Shane MacKichan). Masks have been seen everywhere, even on the ice as local speed skaters train (bottom middle photo by Jennifer Gauthier). Some parts of life continued normally, like the arrival of babies (Glen Govier photo).

A Q&A with Dr. Bonnie Henry

r. Bonnie Henry, a physician with a background in community medicine, is a clinical associate professor at University of British Columbia and was appointed provincial health officer in 2018.

She has earned an international reputation for her leadership from the outset of the pandemic in guiding British Columbia and influencing other jurisdictions on the measures needed to mitigate the impact of COVID-19. Her candid, calm, empathic daily direction and prescribed mixture of public restrictions and permissions helped B.C. flatten the curve earlier than most everywhere and has kept the caseload more manageable, even as people spent more time indoors and were more susceptible to spreading the coronavirus.

She spoke with Glacier Media in early December, one week before the first vaccines arrived in B.C. Here is an excerpt of their discussion, edited for clarity and brevity.

TAKE US BACK TO HOW YOU HAD TO EXPAND THE WORK OF THE OFFICE AT THE FIRST SIGN OF THE PANDEMIC. Henry:We have a very small office and still do.We tend to be very small and nimble. But we started to see the warning signs in late December, early January, and it was a bit of disbelief that we had to overcome.This is something that I have spent a lot of time on in my career over the last 30 years, preparing for things like this and seeing the signs and knowing what could potentially happen. It was quite challenging for all of us, I think, to really get going and to understand that this was going to affect us.

But I don’t think anybody could have predicted how severely it would affect us around the world.

I THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SAY THAT AS THIS PANDEMIC HAS EVOLVED, SO TOO HAVE PEOPLE’S ATTITUDES TOWARD THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT AND YOUR OFFICE AND THE GENERAL HANDLING OF THE PANDEMIC. WHEN DO YOU THINK THAT HONEYMOON PERIOD ENDED AFTER THE INITIAL PRAISE? Henry:This is also something that was not a surprise to me.We know that when you go through crises, there’s a transition period that happens.

But I’ve been saying from the very beginning that I know that the recriminations, the class action lawsuits and the public inquiries are coming. And I know that because I have been through these before.

And we have seen these things before. So yes, [the honeymoon ended] very early on.What we tried to do was instil that ... we do have some control, there are things that we can do, but we need to support each other to do it. And when we didn’t know what was happening, and it was very scary for all of us, [with] a lot of anxiety and uncertainty – that is what helped us get through.

And we did really well with that.The challenge becomes when this goes on for a long time. And there’s changes, things that are we’re learning ... that are changed from one minute to the next. And as we came into the fall, [we] tried to make sure that we were opening up as much as we could, doing it in a safe way. And it’s tiring, we’re all exhausted, so it doesn’t surprise me at all, when there’s a lot of fear and anxiety, that people need somebody to complain to, somebody to be concerned about. And I knew that was part of my role in this whole thing.

We know with this type of crisis that goes on this long, you can never do just enough.There are always

Newsmaker of the year: Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry PHOTO ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY

people who are accusing us of doing too much, or not enough, and finding that balance is incredibly difficult and changing minute by minute.

SO DR. HENRY, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST SURPRISES ALONG THE WAY? Henry: Oh, it’s all sort of new and scary.When we first had cases in our long-term care home, it just gave me such a sinking feeling, because I knew when viruses like this get into the care homes, that people will succumb to the virus, and people will die.

Some of the surprises are how people have recognized me and taken some of the words to heart, and that people are being kind with each other. And that has resonated with people.

And the whole message of not knowing everybody’s story, and not jumping to conclusions about people, and that we can support each other and get through this. And it’s been a positive surprise, in many ways. On the technical side of things, I’ve been so happy and surprised by how quickly we’ve got a vaccine. I knew it could be done. But my time horizon was, you know, early into next year, and the fact that we have a vaccine that’s coming here to B.C. next week [editor’s note: it has

since arrived] has been the most positive surprise I’ve had.

YOU MENTIONED THE WORD BALANCE EARLIER. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, OUR ECONOMY IS RELATIVELY OPEN COMPARED TO WHAT’S HAPPENING IN SOME OTHER PROVINCES. WHY IS THAT? Henry:We early on recognized that there are unintended consequences of shutting things down, and that we needed to support families and communities by allowing as much as we could to continue safely. So one of the things we did early on was put in place an order calculator, or provincial health officer order around every business having to have a COVID safety plan. And it just made everybody focus on what are the things that I need to do for my place now. And we’ve taken a lot of steps working with WorkSafeBC, with our environmental health officers, to work with businesses to make things work. And we’ve recognized that as the virus becomes more transmissible at this time of year, some of those safety plans need to be adjusted and stopped. And there’s some things that are just too risky right now. But you know, that was a focus that

allowed everybody to have some control over their environment, and to look at how we could put in safety plans. And it’s helped a lot.

I think about some of the big industrial complexes that we have in the North – the fact that we planted, you know, 30 million trees this summer with not a single case in the multiple thousands of young people who were working up in the silviculture camps in the North and remote areas.These were because we paid attention to some of these details that allow these important things to happen. And the other really critical one: we know that when schools are closed, families and children suffer, and we heard that loud and clear from families in March, so we spent a lot of time making sure that that schools were a safe place for educators and for students. And that allows parents, as well, to have that breathing room.

EXPAND ON HOW YOU PERSONALLY DECOMPRESS OR TRY TO RELAX WHILE THIS IS ALL GOING ON. Henry:Yeah, I haven’t had a whole lot of relaxation, actually. One of those things, I grind my teeth a lot, especially at night. But I do try. I mean, all of us need to. It is a long, long road that we’re

on. So it is important.

And early on, I was talking to a young reporter from CBC, and we were talking about meditating and taking deep breaths and calming ourselves. And that is something that I do. I try and meditate for short periods every day. Sometimes it’s three o’clock in the morning, when I’m in bed. I’m also a runner.

And from the very beginning, we said to people: get outside, go outside, that is so important for our mental health, as well as our physical health.

KNOWING WHAT YOU KNOW NOW, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY? Henry:You know, it’s so hard to know. I expected we’d have a second wave, I was hopeful that we would be able to keep that balance of most things being open.

But it became very clear in sort of middle of October that this virus was spreading a lot more easily in the fall.There’s a seasonality to it, which is not unexpected. But you know, I probably could have messaged that a little better, because I think it took others by surprise when we started to say no, you can’t do this anymore. And change and nuance are something that causes anxiety in people. Globally, if I look back, I think we missed an opportunity to support China in controlling this at the source.

And we probably didn’t pay enough attention to how rapidly it could spread.You know, I’m really distressed by some of the nationalism that this pandemic has exposed, particularly if I look to our neighbours to the south. And the big regret [is] that we couldn’t have been more co-ordinated as a global community to protect people.

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Topic: Do people who are vaccine hesitant worry you?

It was inevitable that the so-called COVID-19 “U.K. variant” would make its way into Canada and the B.C. After all, the novel coronavirus does not respect boundaries and given that some Canadians were travelling back forth to the United Kingdom around the time the new strain was discovered – before a travel ban was instituted.

It was only a matter of time before it showed up in B.C. “This was not unexpected,” Dr. Bonnie Henry told me. “There will be more cases.”

A huge question raised by the appearance of the U.K. variant of COVID-19 in B.C. is what impact will it have on public health orders?

For now, Henry told me no changes are planned, but she and other infectious disease experts have expressed concern about how much more transmissible the variant is compared to the original version of COVID-19.

In other words, the variant can spread quicker and have a deeper reach.

Early scientific evidence, however, suggests the variant is not more lethal than COVID-19.

This is potentially good news for our hospital system because even a large spike in variant cases may not necessarily overwhelm our hospitals.

On that front, we remain in good shape compared to most other provinces.

Ontario went into a major lockdown after seeing its hospitalizations increase by more than 60% in one month, while its ICU cases have exploded by more than 80% in that time frame.

By contrast, B.C.’s hospitalization numbers have gone up by less than 20% and our ICU cases are up less than 30% in the same period.

As well, our hospital bed

“ I’m curious, for those of you who are hesitant to take

“41% “wait and see” isn’t alarming unless there is a significant number of high-risk people in that group.

I consider myself in that 41%, but because I’m fairly low risk I probably won’t qualify for the vaccine until the summer. By then my “wait and see” time will have passed and the vaccines will have been proven safe.”

Lucas Teodoro da Silva

Doug Friesen

‘U.K. variant’ and its B.C. impact

capacity remains at healthy levels, with less than 90% of regular beds in use and about 50% of ICU beds available (before the pandemic began, we were often at 105% capacity of regular bed use).

So the introduction of a variant COVID-19 virus may not create carnage, but its apparent high transmission rate has Henry asking for more resources in order to increase and enhance the monitoring of those people required to be in quarantine or self-isolation.

Henry told me she has no plans for an inter-provincial travel ban to thwart the spread of COVID-19 or its U.K. variant, a continuation of her position on that issue since the pandemic began.

Still, it will come as a surprise to see the public health order that bans gatherings and events not be extended past its Jan. 8 expiry date.

Even the fact that going into last weekend our daily average numbers were steadily declining, as was our average mortality, the numbers are likely not low enough to satisfy Henry when it comes to easing restrictions.

Any cases arising from improper Christmas and NewYear’s Eve gatherings will begin showing up over the next two weeks and may well halt the decline in our descending recent trends.

In addition, who knows how rampant the U.K. variant will actually become in the weeks ahead, and thus further complicate things?

Nevertheless, I will end on a positive note: it appears the recently developed COVID-19 vaccines will be effective on the U.K. variant as well.

Shower time cut back

Residents of the Brentwood and Heights area, north of Douglas Road were asked to cut back on their shower and toilet use as public works officials worked to fix a break in a giant sewer line that was spewing up to 77 million litres of raw sewage a day into Burrard Inlet.The broken sewer main was discovered at the GVRD’s Harbour Pump Station.To counter the risk of disease from viruses or bacteria, officials diverted the sewage to five separate outfalls to diffuse the impact over a wider area as they scrambled to fix the leak.

A message from MP Peter Julian

Editor: The year 2020 has been unprecedented. So many families and businesses are struggling to get through and survive the worst pandemic in a century.

My role as house leader and negotiator working with our BC NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has had us pushing Ottawa to negotiate improvements that will help people in the federal government response to the pandemic.

These past few months have allowed us to achieve significant success in working to ensure that no one gets left behind during this pandemic. But we still have so much to do. So far, Singh and the NDP caucus have succeeded in pushing the government to take the following actions: Establishing and then expanding the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) to include not only employment insurance eligible workers, but to also include the 60% of Canadians who are seasonal workers, small business people, the self-employed and non-employment insurance, eligible workers.

Including students in a new Canada Student Emergency Response Benefit and allowing students with disabilities or dependents to receive

additional funding to weather the pandemic.

Forcing action through a vote in the House of Commons to have the government provide support to seniors and persons with disabilities. We are still fighting to ensure that no one is left behind and that all persons with disabilities are included in the supports offered.

Support for small businesses, including the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS), and the Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance (CECRA). Because the government did not follow our clear direction in the designing of these programs- many small businesses are still falling through the cracks. We continue to push the government to make changes to these programs to ensure that small businesses receive the support that is needed.

Our efforts to extend the CERB allowed 20,000 individuals in New Westminster-Burnaby to receive the support they need throughout the summer. But this is not enough as many individuals are still falling through the cracks and being left behind by the government. We will continue to fight every step of the way to ensure that no one is being left behind.

On behalf of my team in Ottawa and in New Westminster-Burnaby, I wish you and your family a safe, healthy New Year.

Watchdog investigating police role in crash The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC is now investigating the RCMP’s role in a horrific crash in Coquitlam that injured at six people on the Brunette Overpass on Sunday morning.

According to the IIO, the RCMP told it that an officer was conducting radar speed detection on Highway 1 eastbound near Government Street in Burnaby when they observed a grey Dodge Charger “allegedly speeding and attempted to conduct a traffic stop.”

“The vehicle did not stop and exited the highway at Brunette Avenue, where it collided with another vehicle,” reads an IIO statement. “The sole occupant of the Charger and all five occupants of the second vehicle were transported to a local area

hospital.The IIO will investigate to determine what role, if any, police may have played in the injuries.”

According to witnesses, the driver of the Charger hit a cement traffic island and launched into the air, hitting another vehicle and then sailing over the overpass railing before landing in a ravine.The other vehicle, containing a family of five, was flipped over and mangled. At least two people were reported as being in critical condition.

The IIO is asking any person who saw, heard or recorded the incident to contact the IIO Witness Line toll-free at 1-855446-8477 or via the contact form on the iiobc. ca website.

The IIO is the independent civilian oversight agency of the police in

City eyes partial refunds on storm sewer extensions Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is looking at offering partial refunds to residents who paid full price for storm sewer extensions on their street, as council moves toward a “more balanced approach” to funding the project.

The city has been working to extend storm sewers to all properties in Burnaby, as a response to climate change, with more flooding anticipated in years to come. In 2017, the city changed how those sewer extensions are paid for.

Originally, the first homeowner on a block to seek a building permit of at least $250,000 was charged for the first 47.5 metres of the project – typically about $25,000 – and the remainder was covered by the city. Council approved a new bylaw in 2017 that, instead, split the cost evenly between all houses on the block – on average, about $22,000 per owner – while the city took on none of the cost.

On top of the storm sewer extension fees, which paid to run a sewer line up along the street, residents also had to pay a storm sewer connection fee to connect their property to the main line.

In the 2017 bylaw, the work would be done by the city after the first house on a block paid up for their building permit, and the city would col-

lect the remainder from each of the houses as they sought their own building permits.

Since that bylaw was passed, the city has initiated 75 storm sewer projects, connecting around 550 properties.

But residents complained that it was “unfair” to make homeowners have to come up with extra funding in the tens of thousands of dollars.

When Dave Hayre planned to redevelop his Willingdon Heights home, he was stuck with a $33,000 bill.

“I don’t have that kind of money to just throw around,” Hayre said in January. “It’s very unfair for anybody to just come up with a lump sum like that.”

In the fall, the city’s financial management committee heard a proposal from staff that would have residents and the city each cover half the cost.That would reduce the average cost to each homeowner to $11,000.

But that was shelved at the time, as Mayor Mike Hurley said he received information at the last minute and sought clarity on that information from staff. He declined twice to elaborate on what that information was.

This month, however, city council received a new report, which called for the sewer extension fees to be dropped altogether, only making homeowners pay for their property to

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER.

be connected to the storm sewer line.

The connection fee is also expected to be altered, using a cost-sharing model in which all properties that need a storm sewer connection pay the average cost of storm sewer connections when they redevelop their property.

Using building permit figures from 2018, staff extrapolated the average cost to all builders that year would have been $10,741.

With inflation, the 2021 fee would round up to

$11,400.

“I think this approach responds to (homeowners’) concerns. It also creates a system that is equitable for all homeowners and improves transparency and uncertainty,” Hurley said in a recent council meeting.

The city is also expected to provide a partial refund to the 75 property owners who paid the storm sewer extension and connection fees, likely to match the roughly $11,000 flat fee.

Community now 2020 IN REVIEW

January: the year started off with so much promise You’d expect the year from hell to be 666 BCE, but it seems it got quite a lengthy delay.

Nevertheless, this hell year, though its shadowy tendrils tortured the globe from the get-go, started off quite innocuously here in Burnaby.

In January 2020, SFU announced its new president (and its second-ever woman president). Joy Johnson, a former nurse who got her start at the onset of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, was announced to take over the spot in September this year, replacing 10-year president Andrew Petter. Ð Of course, Burnaby wasn’t entirely isolated from the events of this connected world.

Take, for instance, the local business owner Hol-

lie Fraser. In January, the Australian expat was so affected by the wildfires that devastated areas of her home country – including her hometown in New South Wales – that she started a fundraiser through her massively successful bakery Punk Rock Pastries. Ð A group of Burnaby Mountain Secondary School textile students crafted dozens of surrogate pouches for marsupials orphaned by the fires. Ð Tragically, January 2020 also saw two homicides in Burnaby, including a “brazen” shooting that killed 28-year-old Julian Johnson at a Burnaby gas station in the early evening. Police said it was fortunate no one else was hurt in the shooting in such a public place.

The suspected vehicle involved was believed to be found burning in Langley. Police believed the shooting was linked to the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict. Earlier that month, 51-year-old Joseph Morrissey was found dead near Robert Burnaby Park with injuries consistent with foul play.This homicide was believed to be targeted but no link to the Lower Mainland gang conflict was found at the time. Ð In more positive news from that month, the City of Burnaby was certified as a living wage employer, with all city staff paid a living wage by Oct. 1, 2019 and all contractors and subcontractors paid a living wage by Jan. 1, 2020. Ð This month also brought a stark warn-

ing for directors of small, volunteer-run organizations, as a Burnaby housing co-op president was sentenced for a $2-million fraud scheme.

Lillian Cameron had been president of the 90unit Halston Hills Hous-

ing Co-op for 17 years, but over time the co-op fell into disrepair while she funnelled more than $2 million into personal accounts.

That money, according to a Crown prosecutor, funded a lavish life-

style beyond her means, and her income averaged around $120,000 a year.

Cameron had walked into the Burnaby RCMP detachment in November 2016 and turned herself in for the fraud.

Community now February: councillors break from the BCA dynasty

Continued from page 12 Ð Burnaby residents opposed to the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion express “deep disappointment” after a Feb. 2 ruling from the Federal Court of Appeals shot down Indigenous opposition to the project.The appeals court found four Indigenous communities challenging the pipeline had failed to make their case that the federal government’s consultation was inadequate. Ð The City of Burnaby sets lofty goals for itself in phase one of its new transportation plan, including zero traffic-related deaths or serious injuries. Senior planner Renee de St. Croix tells council those goals could be accomplished through a handful of different ways working in concert, including prioritizing vulnerable users, transforming infrastructure to support those users and then reducing overall speeds. Ð Three Burnaby city councillors, Colleen Jordan, Paul McDonell and Dan Johnston, resign from the dominant Burnaby

March: Landmark rental rules passed Continued from page 16 Ð City council officially passes two landmark rental policies: the rental-use zoning policy, intended to guarantee rentals in multifamily projects throughout most of the city; and the tenant-assistance policy, extending rights of tenants who are demovicted for new developments.

Councillors hailed the policies as the “best in Canada,” but some housing activists said they were convoluted and confusing. Ð The province and the City of Burnaby announce nearly $20 million in funding to help pay for the Burnaby school district’s homegrown plan to add child-care spaces at local schools.The province agreed to chip in $13.7 million and the city $6.2 million. All told, the money will help create 601 new spaces. Ð The Burnaby school district cancels all inter-

national school trips on March 5 and promises to keep an eye on domestic field trips and other school events because of growing coronavirus concerns.Three trips to New York City, three trips to Washington State and one trip to Germany, Italy and Switzerland are cancelled because of the “rapidly evolving situation.” Ð Burnaby South Secondary School’s senior boys basketball team caps the 2019-20 high school basketball season by clipping the Kelowna Owls 70-58 in the 4-A provincial championship final before a near-capacity and boisterous crowd at the Langley Events Centre.

It was the school’s fourth B.C. title - and their second one in three years.

Grade 11 guard Justin Sunga was named tournament MVP. Ð Local students find out in the middle of their

spring break that in-class instruction at their schools has been suspended indefinitely as part of a provincial effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Education Minister Rob Fleming says the measure is being taken under the direction of provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and supported by “all of the education partners, teachers and stakeholders in the system.” Ð Burnaby closes all city -owned facilities on March 18, including community centres, arenas, libraries, arts and cultural facilities, golf courses and restaurants in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. Ð Burnaby resident Saeid Ebrahimi finds out he’s $5-million richer after checking his Lotto 6/49 ticket at the Brentwood mall on March 13.
