COVID non-compliance rates high in Burnaby Dustin Godfrey

More than 1,000 inspections in six months have found COVID noncompliance among businesses in Burnaby, according to an email from city

manager Lambert Chu to staff.

In August 2020, the city formed an inspection and enforcement team in response to an order by the provincial government, which gave bylaw officers and police more pow-

ers to enforce COVID-19 rules.The team, made up of city staff and supported

by RCMP when needed, is intended to respond to the public’s complaints of public-gathering rule violations.

Late last week, Chu

ders (having) been in place for months, we continue to be surprised by the number of non-compliance cases the inspection team encountered every day,” Chu wrote in the email.

Citynow THE UNDERTOLD STORY OF THE YEAR

The story that deserved more play in 2020 With COVID-19 dominating the headlines, the drug-poisoning crisis took a backseat.We look back on how this story evolved Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@burnabynow.com

Pandemic is the dominant word of 2020. Has anyone gone a day since March without hearing, saying or thinking the word?

But another issue has plagued B.C. for far longer than COVID-19 and was even called a public health emergency as far back as 2016.That year saw the beginning of skyrocketing deaths due to what we now call the drug-poisoning crisis.

It has been called by a number of names, overdose crisis and opioid epidemic among them. But “drug poisoning crisis” is both more potent and more accurate. It’s not that substance use in and of itself is the cause of the increasing deaths – what changed starting in 2016 is the introduction of fen-

tanyl to the drug supply.

In 2019, as drug toxicity deaths in B.C. dropped significantly, our attention turned elsewhere. But numbers can be deceiving.

A quick glance at the 2019 monthly overdose reports from Fraser Health could have been an early indicator.While deaths declined, ambulance calls to overdoses continued to increase. By the end of 2019, ambulances had responded to 455 suspected overdoses, compared to just 313 in 2018.

And, when the pandemic struck and COVID-related orders overrode harm reduction tactics, that dissonance between ambulance calls and deaths disappeared almost immediately.We don’t have the numbers for all of 2020, yet, but by the end of November last year, drug toxicity deaths

in Burnaby had already set a new grim record.

Forty-nine lives were lost to this crisis in the first 11 months of the year, among 1,548 throughout B.C. Indeed, this epidemic has been significantly more deadly than the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen 946 deaths throughout the province.

A life lost to COVID is no less painful than a death to an overdose. But there’s a notable disparity in how the two public health emergencies have been covered.

Part of it is likely the novelty of the coronavirus, and certainly part of it is its wide-ranging impacts, from lockdowns to a massive economic downturn.

But that latter point is key – those impacts from the pandemic are a result of governments taking the virus seriously.

It might be unfair to say

Mask refusal ends in fine 58 complaints, two tickets issued in December Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man who refused to wear a mask at a Burnaby business last month was fined and banned from the premises, according to police.

Officers responded to the business – located in the 7300 block of Edmonds Street – on Dec. 28, after getting a complaint that four men there were refusing to wear masks, according to a police update last week on December COVID enforcements.

“One of the men initially refused to cooperate or even provide identification to police,” stated the up-

date. “This man was eventually issued a ticket and was asked by staff not to return to their business.”

Burnaby RCMP is releasing monthly updates about its enforcement actions through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Officers responded to a total of 58 complaints, issued two tickets under the COVID-19 Related Measures Act and conducted numerous restaurant, lounge and business checks in the month of December, according to the latest report.

The other ticket issued last month was for a couple of holiday partiers who returned to the scene of the “crime” after being

told to go away.

Officers got a complaint about a party – also in the 7300 block of Edmonds Street – on Dec. 20.

They found two people in the residence who didn’t live there and one in contravention of the CRMA, according to police.The two non-residents eventually left, police said, but another call 20 minutes later informed them the non-residents had returned.The officers went back, and a ticket was issued.

Regular patrols by Burnaby RCMP’s COVID compliance enforcement team and City of Burnaby bylaw officers continue at local businesses.

governments haven’t taken the drug-poisoning crisis seriously, but the difference between the two is stark. Particularly, there has been a disinclination by federal and provincial governments to heed the advice of police chiefs, public health experts, activists and drug users themselves.

In 2019, Dr. Bonnie Henry – who is by now a household name thanks to the pandemic and the well-deserved deference she’s received from the provincial government – recommended the province take action to bring in “de facto” decriminalization of drug users. She’s not the only one to chime in on decriminalization – the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police recommended it last summer, and various other public health officials have done the same.

Sing out: Sandra Laframboise, a two-spirit Indigenous elder, sings a healing song at an International Overdose Awareness Day event held Aug. 31 near Metrotown SkyTrain station. PHOTO NOW FILES

But neither the federal nor the provincial governments have budged on the issue.

There are some likely factors here.The people affected by COVID range from the poor to the wealthy, from Black and Indigenous people to white people.Those most affected by the drug poisoning crisis, however, tend to be poorer and to be Black or Indigenous.

But another factor in this is likely the lack of attention this crisis has gotten from the media. And that’s why it’s important to consider not only the massive headlines that cry out from newspapers’ front pages but also those that may be hidden deeper inside.

And it’s why the drug-poisoning crisis is the undertold story of 2020.

City team finds COVID rules not being followed

Continued from page 1 Chu also addressed the issue of out-of-province travel, saying some people have continued to travel abroad for non-essential reasons – which the province has advised against but has not outright banned.

In recent days, numerous politicians and public officials, including municipal, provincial and federal politicians, have come under fire for international trips.

“I don’t fault people for wanting to travel south to find a warmer and drier place to spend some quality vacation time. But we must remember that we all are

affected by COVID and because of that many of us have made personal sacrifices for the sake of our community and our loved ones,” Chu wrote.

“In order to end the pandemic quickly, we must collectively follow the orders and guidance provided by the PHO including avoiding nonessential travel out of the province.”

In an email statement to the NOW, the City of Burnaby added that there has been a community effort to stamp out the spread of the virus.

“Every day, the vast majority of Burnaby residents are making sacrifices to flatten the curve

and keep their neighbours safe. In response to those who aren’t, the City of Burnaby has been active and has taken a progressive stance to the provincial health orders,” the city said. “Our bylaws staff are out there every day, educating, ensuring compliance and, when necessary, passing information on to RCMP so they can respond with enforcement.”

It’s unclear if any of the city’s inspections have led to fines. Provincewide, fines handed out had reached a combined total of more than $200,000 between August and mid-December, according to CHEK TV.

Chemical accident at highrise A freak chemical accident caused $10,000 to $20,000 worth of damage at a Lougheed-area apartment highrise in December, but things could have been much worse. Firefighters who responded to the Erickson Drive apartment building thought they were dealing with a minor fire in an electrical panel. Once the smoke cleared, however, they realized the blaze had been sparked by a violent chemical reaction when a bottle of Triple X sewer compound came into contact with water. A hazardous materials team was called in.

Opinionnow Clawback unfair Editor: When did the BC NDP become the BC Liberals? The upcoming clawback of disability support by Premier John Horgan’s NDP is unconscionable.

Maybe it was politically inexpedient to raise rates before the pandemic, trying avoid the old label of the tax-and-spend party, but once rates had been raised, it would have been very easy to just keep them there.

Disability rates are far, far below the poverty line and hardly enough for even the essentials of life – food and shelter – never mind any other needs. Despite NDP rhetoric, when it comes to supporting the poor, this government is not much better than the Liberals have been, and it is contributing to homelessness at pretty much the same rate.

Fix vaccine rollout

Editor: The COVID-19 vaccination program is truly excellent news, and congratulations are due to everyone from front-line health-care workers to the research scientists who have successfully made this possible.

While, rightly, the earliest vaccination and preventative care efforts should focus on care facilities for the most vulnerable, a major

high-impact group is missing in this dialogue.

I can think of a far greater number of elderly and disabled among us that still live at home, often isolated by the necessary public health orders. And, while the health authorities may engage with some of these folks through programmed home-care services, the vast majority of our at-risk neighbours are only cared for by family and friends.

Where, then, is the discussion from Health Minister Adrian Dix, Dr. Bonnie Henry and other public health leaders on how homebound British Columbians will receive the vaccination as soon as practical? And what about the family and friend caregivers that must go out to take care of our fragile neighbours?

These folks, too, should be considered informal health-care workers, just unpaid and unrecognized by the public system that seems to prioritize those in formal care over those less recognizable residents who may be at equal or even greater risk.

Just think for a moment how many around you are in need of vital care support outside of the formal health-care system. Just lumping all these folks, and their informal caregivers, into the general public order of vaccination priority may become an unfortunate afterthought that could result in lives lost and massive disruption for in-home care.

CityConnect BURNABY TO REGULATE SHORT TERM RENTALS The City of Burnaby has introduced new regulations for short-term rentals and residents are being given an opportunity to have their say.

The intention of the new regulations is to strike a balance as the use of online platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO grows. The regulations will protect the City’s long-term housing stock and prevent disruptions to local neighbourhoods, while also giving homeowners an opportunity to earn extra income through an emerging trend in the tourism industry.

City Council is considering several bylaw amendments in order to create a program for homeowners who wish to operate a short-term rental within their principal residence.

The proposed amendments include the following key regulations: » Homeowners may only list their principal residence as a short-term rental property; » Short-term rentals are not permitted in rental units, secondary suites, and flex units;

» Up to four unrelated guests, or six people within the same family are permitted to stay in a short-term rental property at any one time; and » Homeowners are limited to renting their principal residence as a short-term rental for a maximum of 90 nights per calendar year, of which 28 nights may include the rental of the homeowner’s entire principal residence.

Residents may provide feedback on these proposed regulations at the January 26 public hearing. Details on how to participate in public hearings are included in this edition of City Connect.

Communitynow Burnaby mourns the loss of a labour stalwart Gordie Larkin dies of COVID-19 at the age of 78 through his work in the fishing industry, getting involved in the fisherman’s union, which ultimately became part of Unifor.

He then went on to work with the Canadian Labour Congress and was active with the United Way through the CLC. “(There are) people all across the country that are going to be in shock today because, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island, there’s hundreds and hundreds of people who knew him. It’s a pretty sad day for a lot of folks,” Jordan said.

Jordan said Larkin died of COVID two months to the day after he started feeling the effects. He had been at home for the first month or so before winding up in the hospital. He ended up in intensive care for the last two weeks. He

A stalwart in the labour movement and former Burnaby Citizens Association president, Gordie Larkin, is being mourned by friends and colleagues after dying of COVID-19 at age 78.

In an interview, Coun.

Colleen Jordan said she had known Larkin for about 40 years and he would be remembered fondly throughout Canada for his political work with various provincial and federal NDP candidates.

“It wasn’t just his job. It was his total life,” Jordan said, adding that Larkin, raised in East Vancouver, was a Burnaby resident “for as long as I can remember.”

Larkin got his start in the labour movement

appeared to have “turned the corner” and improved before “taking a bad turn” last Wednesday night and dying.

“What a devastating bloody disease,” Jordan said. “He put up a good fight, but he didn’t win the battle.”

Larkin was also wellknown for his music, as NDP Surrey-Panorama MLA Jinny Sims noted on Twitter.

“An amazing activist.

Brought his music to the labour movement. Gordie Larkin leaves a legacy,” Sims said.

Jordan called Larkin a “troubadour” for the labour movement, even though he was teased for only playing a couple of chords on the guitar.

“He wrote songs for people when they retired or there was a special cel-

ebration for them, and he would write songs for them, and people treasured those,” Jordan said.

“Now I don’t know who’s going to play for him because we lost our main … troubadour.”

In a statement to the NOW, Mayor Mike Hurley said he knew Larkin through the labour movement, and he “certainly was very well-known in Burnaby” and “a wellliked character within la-

bour.”

“It’s very sad news, and certainly I pass along my deepest condolences to Gordie’s wife, Barb, and to his family and many friends,” Hurley said.

Burnaby teachers’ union joins call for action on COVID-19 sent out last week, 12 BC Teachers’ Federation local presidents said many schools in the region are “not safe enough and the status quo is unacceptable.”

make masks mandatory in all indoor spaces, provide clarity around how and why outbreaks are declared in schools, and make sure school staff are “appropriately prioritized” to receive coronavirus vaccinations.

The letter said mask use in the region’s schools is inconsistent; cohorts easily break down; and there

is little room for physical distancing, especially in schools that are full or over capacity.

“As a result, the layers of protection do not exist in many of our schools like they do in most other indoor public spaces,” stated the letter.

It gave a number of examples of problems at schools.

Teachers lobby for safer schools

Continued from page 11 left teachers out of the contact-tracing process in some cases, even though teachers know all about their students’ activities and contacts during the school day.

“That’s definitely a frustration that I’ve heard from teachers, where there have been exposures in their classrooms and then they were not contacted

by Fraser Health,” he said.

“The way they found out was through a letter or they found out ahead of time from the student or the parent and were waiting for that call to help with the contact tracing and never received it.”

Tetrault said there has

been “lots of concern” among local teachers about coming back after the winter break, but the concerns in the letter existed before the holidays.

He noted there have been COVID-19 exposures at more than half of the district’s elementary schools and all of its high schools.

When asked if local teachers felt safe in Burnaby schools,Tetrault said: “I think the better question is, can schools be safer? Even though staff, teachers and students are working to make schools safer, there’s always room for increased safety measures.”

He declined to make

Trans Mountain filed the notice of motion and constitutional question motion on Dec. 15, seeking an answer from the Canada Energy Regulator as to whether the pipeline project should be exempt from municipal approval to remove trees.

The question considers constitutional matters of interjurisdictional immunity and federal paramountcy, each of which gives federal matters lee-

way within or superiority over provincial regulations.

In its submission,Trans Mountain offered 10 exhibits as part of its case, including a letter from parks and recreation director Dave Ellenwood to Trans Mountain land acquisition director Alain Parise.

In the letter, dated Nov. 16, 2020, Ellenwood wrote in response to an “early works” request for access to land around Brunette River to remove trees on city lands.

“This letter is to confirm that the city opposes removal of trees on city lands at the proposed access points,” Ellenwood wrote.

Another exhibit submitted by Trans Mountain outlines where all the trees are intended to be removed, including a breakdown of which are on private lands and which are on public lands.

Of the 1,308 trees planned to be removed, nearly two-thirds are on private lands and just over a third are on public lands.

The 1,308 trees only include those with trunk diameters of 20.3 centimetres or more, the threshold at which the city begins to require permits for removal or other work.

Trans Mountain also cited a March 2018 Federal Court of Appeal decision declining to hear a

City of Burnaby appeal of an earlier ruling by the National Energy Board, the predecessor to the CER. In its decision, the National Energy Board determined the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project was exempt from city approval per the tree and zoning bylaws.

In an email statement to

the NOW, the city said it could not yet comment on what its position would be on the CER matter.

The city, as well as landowners and Indigenous communities, had until Tuesday, Jan. 12 to file notices of intent to participate in the hearing, and any participants in the hearing are required to submit evidence by Mon-

day, Jan. 18.

Trans Mountain is required to file any further evidence in response by Jan. 22, with a videoconference to take place by the end of the month.

A decision will be issued within 10 days of the hearing.

Citynow Year in review: Hospital fire makes news in November For the past two editions, we have been taking a look back at some of the stories that made headlines in Burnaby in 2020.

This week, we conclude our look at the year in review with the final three months of the year.

OCTOBER w Burnaby RCMP asks for the public’s help finding three people who allegedly yelled racist remarks at a man near a Burnaby SkyTrain station and then watched as one of them poured coffee over his head on Aug 3.The victim told police two men and a woman had shouted racist remarks such as “Go back to your country!” at him.

w On Oct. 5, city council unanimously rejects a proposed connector between McBride Boulevard in NewWestminster and Highway 1 in Burnaby. A transit advocate had suggested the proposal be added to the city’s transportation plan to deal with potential traffic increases related to the Pattullo Bridge replacement, but city staff recommended against it, saying it would be costly and its function would not be entirely local. w Hookah lounge owners protest proposed anti-smoking regulations that would ban the use of hookahs inside local businesses. On Oct. 5, Pascal Serro, appeared be-

fore council on behalf of the Living Room Lounge on Canada Way. Oula Hamadeh, of the Kayan Shisha Café on Kingsway, appeared on Oct. 26. Both say the regulations would put them out of business. w The BC NDP wins its first majority in the provincial legislature since the 1990s in the Oct. 24 election. After an unusual campaign shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, the New Democrats won 57 seats, including retaining all four Burnaby ridings. An unprecedented number of mail-in ballots were ordered in the city (32,171), and only about 30% of registered voters cast a ballot in person.

NOVEMBER w A suspected arson in a wing of Burnaby Hospital causes extensive damage, prompting the evacuation of that area of the hospital.The fire started on the Cascade building’s second floor, which houses the mental health in-patient ward. Staff are forced to house patients in other areas of the hospital, which is believed to have made the hospital’s COVID-19 outbreak worse.

The Burnaby Hospital Foundation, currently seeking to raise $30 million for a redevelopment of the hospital, is also displaced by the fire. w A survey finds vast regional support for a gon-

dola between the Millennium Line and SFU up on Burnaby Mountain.

The gondola is intended to improve transit access to the school and the UniverCity development atop the mountain and is particularly popular among those survey respondents.

However, Forest Grove residents are strongly opposed. w A 12-foot concrete vent stack connected to a now-destroyed 106-yearold reservoir makes strides in becoming the first “industrial artifact” on Burnaby’s heritage register.The AltaVista reservoir was demolished earlier in the year to make way for a playground.The vent will be repaired and reinstalled in its original place. w The Fortius Sport and Health fitness centre in Burnaby announces its imminent closure due to COVID-19.The training centre, which offers elitelevel training to athletes and non-athletes alike, fills a unique space that will be tough to replace, according to Mayor Mike Hurley. w The City of Burnaby officially endeavours to rework its bylaws around keeping chickens in residential backyards. Council orders staff to look into developing bylaws several months after multiple chicken owners and friends send letters to

council seeking their support for backyard chickens.

Chickens are currently not allowed in backyards.

DECEMBER w Federal regulators find “systemic non-compliances” with COVID-19 mask rules at Trans Mountain worksites in Burnaby and the Lower

Mainland. Four workers are sent home following compliance inspections by Canada Energy Regulator staff on Dec. 1, 2 and 3 that found 37 violations of three COVID protocols set out by Trans Mountain’s COVID-19 response plan. w A man in his 30s

caught driving in Metrotown with Christmas lights duct-taped to his Tesla on Dec. 1 is slapped with an $81 fine and given three days to get rid of the distracting decorations. A Burnaby RCMP Twitter post about the incident draws both praise and criticism online, with some saying the driver should have been let off with a warning and others calling the traffic officer a Grinch. w Longtime Burnaby-Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan becomes the first South Asian Speaker of the B.C. legislature on Dec. 7. He also becomes the first Punjabi person from India to be elected to the position in any legislature in North America, according to the BC NDP. The Speaker of the legislature oversees debates to Continued on page 20

ASK A COIN & STAMP SPECIALIST

Q

Can you find any valuable coins in your change?

In the last 50 years there are circulation coins that can be worth up to $20,000 each.

The most expensive is the 2000 Caribou quarter with a “P” under the Queen’s portrait at $20,000 for an Uncirculated coin. The 2000 Harmony and Creativity Quarters with a “P” under the Queen start at $5,000.

Without the “P” they are only worth the 25 cents.

JIM RICHARDSON The 1969 Dime with a large date (the same size as PRESIDENT, WESTERN a 1968 dime) is worth $5,000 for used, however the COIN & STAMPS small date is only worth 10 cents.

For people with pennies still, there is also a 2000 cent with a “P” under the Queen worth $3,000.

A 2006 penny with a “P” under the Queen and non-magnetic starts at $50. Use a fridge magnet to make sure it is not magnetic.

In 1992 Canada issued at series of 12 quarters featuring the Provinces.

The New Brunswick and Saskatchewan quarters of the Queen And Caribou should both be upright when flipped side to side.

There is an error where instead being upright they are inverted, with one facing downward.

These inverts start at $100 each.

DIGNITY MEM MEMORIAL Canada is a progressive country with a wide range of flexible funeral, cemetery and cremation practices.

The wide array of options ensures that every individual or family can select final arrangements that suit the values, taste and budget.

Cremation What is cremation?

Cremation involves reducing the remains to its basic elements through heat and flame. Although commonly referred to as ‘ashes’, they are more accurately referred to as ‘cremated remains’. If an urn has been purchased, the funeral home will return the remains to the family in the urn, which may be sealed.

Memorialization Upon the death of a loved one, survivors often benefit from one or more events that serve to help them come to terms with their loss, recognize their loved one, and ceremonially promote closure. Events may include one or more of the following: Visitation – Traditionally held a few days following the death, a visitation is an opportunity for friends and family to extend their condolences to the family, and share fond memories.

Funeral Service – A funeral is a ceremony to eulogize the life of the deceased and promote closure. It may

or may not involve religious rites, and typically occurs immediately prior to burial or cremation. A funeral ceremony may be held anywhere, but is traditionally held in a church or funeral home.

Memorial Service – Similar to a funeral, a memorial service is a ceremony for celebrating the life of the deceased, but is generally held after burial or cremation. A memorial service may include readings of poetry or verse, music, prayer and personal tributes from family or friends.

Committal Service – At the time the remains are scattered, buried, or otherwise interred in their final resting place, a short ceremony may be held as a final gesture of respect and closure. It may be formal or informal, and may be conducted by a member of the clergy, professional celebrant, or family member.

Permanent Memorials – It’s an outward symbol of the contribution of our loved one to our family and community.

The ideal memorial provides a dedicated place of honour for remembrance, solace and contemplation that is set aside from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Speak with us at Dignity Memorial today and we’ll help you take care of every detail.

ASK A DENTIST

Q A

How often should I have a check-up and cleaning?

There are many factors that will determine how often you need to have your teeth cleaned. For the average patient with good oral hygiene habits, dentists recommend DR. AJAND NOBAHARI check-ups every 6 months. Regular DENTIST cleanings and check-ups can help to identify gum disease, screen for other oral diseases, and can be an opportunity to discuss ways to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Professional cleaning by a hygienist includes using specific tools are used to remove stains and hard deposits like tartar and calculus that your toothbrush can’t remove. Your hygienist and dentist will discuss habits like smoking and high-sugar diets that can have a negative impact on oral health. A patient with gum disease may require cleanings every 3-4 months, sometimes even needing advanced care with a Periodontist (gum specialist). Talk to your dentist today!

McCAULEY, Mona We are deeply saddened by the loss of our mother Mona McCauley, who resided in Burnaby, BC. She would be with us today if she hadn’t been struck by a vehicle on Friday, December 11 and succumbed to her injuries on Monday, December 14, 2020 at the age of 81.

Mona grew up in Montreal with her sister and two brothers. In her early 20’s she was an avid skier and ice skater which brought her and her girlfriend to Vancouver for vacation, but she ending up making BC her new home and never left.

Mona met and married William (Bill) McCauley, also a native Montrealer who grew up a few miles from her family home. Mona is survived by her daughter Jennifer and son Christopher, as well as her older sister Anita and brother Albert, plus numerous nephews, nieces and other relatives.

Mona was hard working and a bundle of energy all her life, working into her 80th year of age. She enjoyed walking for many years and keeping busy outdoors doing anything for exercise. Mona enjoyed doing crossword books, crossword scratches and lotto scratches too. Over the years she has knitted and latch hook blankets which were donated to the homeless. We have kept some for memories.

Mona will be greatly missed.

She was happy, loved and content.

Covid precludes a service.

TRUTH IN ''EMPLOYMENT'' ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.

If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711, Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email inquiries@bbb van.org and they will investigate.

ADVERTISING POLICIES All advertising published in this newspaper is accepted on the premise that the merchandise and services offered are accurately described and willingly sold to buyers at the advertised prices. Advertisers are aware of these conditions. Advertising that does not conform to these standards or that is deceptive or misleading, is never knowingly accepted. If any reader encounters non-compliance with these standards we ask that you inform the Publisher of this newspaper and The Advertising Standards Council of B.C. OMISSION AND ERROR: The publishers do not guarantee the insertion of a particular advertisement on a specified date, or at all, although every effort will be made to meet the wishes of the advertisers.

Further, the publishers do not accept liability for any loss of damage caused by an error or inaccuracy in the printing of an advertisement beyond the amount paid for the space actually occupied by the portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred. Any corrections of changes will be made in the next available issue.

The Vancouver Courier will be responsible for only one incorrect insertion with liability limited to that portion of the advertisement affected by the error. Request for adjustments or corrections on charges must be made within 30 days of the ad’s expiration.

For best results please check your ad for accuracy the first day it appears. Refunds made only after 7 business days notice!
