Costly city severance agreements on the rise Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The number of costly agreements the City of Burnaby has signed with managers and executives who’ve left their positions suddenly without any public explanation has risen sharply over the last three years, according to its statements of financial

information. The city signed six severance agreements last year and paid out between seven and 20 months’ salary and benefits for each, according to the 2020 SOFI published this month. That compares to three such agreements in 2019, two in 2018 and one in 2017. By contrast, the

City ofVancouver signed one severance agreement last year and paid out three months’ pay, according to its report. Severance is a form of compensation paid to employees when their job is terminated through no fault of their own. While the annual reports don’t provide details about severance

agreements, the NOW has reported on four senior managers who left the City of Burnaby with no explanation in 2020 but still ended up on last year’s so-called “sunshine list.” The municipality’s top three IT managers – chief information officer Shari Wallace and deputy directors John Cooke and Jacek

Kaim – left in July. But their combined pay in 2020 was still $426,082, according to the SOFI. After their departure, the city declined to share any details on the matter. City communications staffer Marie Ishikawa said only that the city was “undergoing a departmental reorganization.”

According to organizational charts included in its five-year financial plans, the city appears to have cut the IT department’s deputy director positions. A March 2020 chart shows two deputies and one assistant deputy answering toWallace, while a March 2021 chart included in the city’s most Continued on page 15

Driver sought in fatal hit-and-run crash Burnaby RCMP’s criminal collision investigation team is investigating a hit-and-run crash that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist. On Saturday night, at 9:45 p.m., Burnaby RCMP officers responded to a report of a collision at

Canada Way and Imperial Street. A motorcyclist was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. The initial investigation suggests the suspect vehicle rear-ended the motorcycle before fleeing the area, said a Burnaby

RCMP news release. Police are asking that anyone who witnessed this collision, or who may have dash-cam video in the area between 9:30 and 10 p.m., contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999. “This is a very tragic incident that has not only

taken a life, but will affect countless individuals,” says Cpl. Mike Kalanj of the Burnaby RCMP. “If you can assist us in our investigation, please come forward and contact the Burnaby RCMP.”

Homicide investigators have taken over a Burnaby missing persons case. Parminder “Paul” Rai, 33, was reported missing by his family on June 9, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. He was last seen on June 4 at his home near University Crescent and Tower Road on Burnaby Mountain. IHIT took over the case this week after a preliminary investigation by the Burnaby RCMP suggested an element of foul play, according to a news release last week. “Rai is known to police

for his connection to drug and gang activity,” stated the release. “His disappearance is not believed to be random.” Rai is described as South Asian, 5-10 and about 185 pounds. He drives a black 2011 Honda Accord with the B.C. licence plate number MB231R. IHIT is urging anyone with information to contact them at 1-877-551IHIT (4448) or ihitinfo@ rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

This doctor really saved the day

B.C. has so far beat back the worst outcomes associated with the Delta variant of COVID-19. The root of this success can be traced back to a presentation given in January by a top official from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, the epidemiology lead of emerging respiratory pathogens at the BCCDC, initiated an internal debate in B.C. public health about how long the interval should be between two doses of a vaccine. Faced with low amounts of vaccine doses and an uncertain supply schedule, Skowronski made the case that lengthening the interval would mean more people would get the first dose – and get it much sooner – than if the interval were shorter.The first dose would also provide a high level of protection, so there was no risk to moving to a longer interval. After weeks of discussion, Dr. Bonnie Henry announced on March 1 that B.C. would move to a 16-week interval, a much -longer period than the three-to-seven weeks recommended by Pfizer and Moderna. Why was Skowronski’s work so important? By adopting her recommendation, B.C. was able to vaccinate far more young people over a shorter period of time than did most other jurisdictions, notably the U.K. This was critical because in the U.K. the Delta variant is infecting people under the age of 30 at a greater rate than other age groups (as has been the case with COVID-19 generally throughout the pandemic) and it is putting people in hospital at a higher rate than was associated with standard COVID-19. At this point, the Delta variant is showing up in B.C., but not in

large numbers.There is no evidence it is wreaking anywhere near the havoc it is inflicting on the U.K., where it has grown by 80% in the past week, while B.C.’s daily COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are in decline. The latest updates from the BCCDC show the Delta variant has actually declined in numbers when it comes to proportionality with other variants of concern. Make no mistake: the Delta variant remains a danger and could indeed spike in number as we ease public health restrictions.The number of COVID-19 cases among people in their 20s may well increase because they are the most social age group with more personal contacts. In addition, our approved vaccines are not as effective against the Delta variant unless two doses are administered. The flip side to vaccinating so many people so quickly with one dose, of course, is that we have relatively fewer people with two doses. It is also important to remember that more than 500,000 people aged 18 to 29 in B.C. have received at least one dose of vaccine, a vaccination rate of about 68%. In the U.K., the number of people in the same age group who have received at least one dose has barely exceeded 25%. Back at the beginning of the vaccine rollout, it was projected people in their 20s would get their first dose in late July. Because of the longer interval between doses, and a large increase in vaccine supply, they were able to get their first jab in late April. As a result, we have so far avoided the U.K. experience with the Delta variant – thanks in no small part to Skowronski. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

A family with young children was lucky to be alive after living in a former grow-op with an inadequately vented furnace for four months.The four adults and two children experienced headaches and nausea after moving into the Rumble Street rental home in March, and it wasn’t until BC Gas shut off the gas supply in July to do some upgrades in the neighbourhood that they discovered they had been suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning.They moved into tents in the backyard and looked for a new home.

Opinionnow Editor: Re: Burnaby restaurant owners terrified of food delivery caps being lifted, NOW News The recent article in this outlet isn’t the first I’ve seen where restaurant owners have shared their concerns about the government removing the cap on third-party delivery. As I read more and more about the demands for longer or permanent fee caps, I can’t stay quiet about the importance of the work I do and the impact of these fees on my earnings. Many of the restaurants I deliver for have never had delivery before app-based delivery. Why? Because it’s costly. To have staff drive around the city keeping meals hot and delivering them in a timely manner isn’t free. And apps like the ones I drive for have filled this gap, providing a service that kept many restaurant kitchens open and able to provide delivery when the pandemic kept their doors closed. The fees that are paid to these apps go towards paying delivery people like me, go towards paying the support staff that work on the app, the advertising that shows customers these restaurants, the credit card processing fees – I could go on. And, as these companies said in the article, maintaining these caps is not possible. If these commission caps remain, then the companies

will need to put fees on consumers to pay for these important services. That means customers placing fewer orders, which means less money in my pocket. So when we talk about the importance of building back after this pandemic, I want to remind everyone reading this that the work I do every day is supporting restaurants. And maintaining these caps will hurt my earnings. Instead, B.C. policymakers should find ways to support restaurants in a way that won’t hurt me, or the apps that have helped so many. Ken Chan

Stay off the sidewalks

Editor: I live in North Burnaby and enjoy walking in my neighborhood, but I feel like I take my life in my hands when I walk on the sidewalk, on Kensington, between Hastings and Kitchener. Cyclists pass me from behind with no notification. Today, it was a 200-pound-plus person on a big e-bike going downhill that flew by on my left with no notice. How about a bell or a yell? I would have been seriously hurt if I had accidentally wandered to my left. So is the path on Kensington a sidewalk or a bike path? I cycle, too, and always warn people, cyclists or pedestrians, if I am passing them and wish others did, too. Betty Macdonald, Burnaby

Citynow New money won’t likely reverse school budget cuts Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Provincial funding announced last week to help with a “near normal” return to school in September isn’t likely to do much to reverse budget cuts approved in next year’s Burnaby school district budget, according to secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill. At a media briefing last Thursday, Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside announced $25.6 million in new one-time funding for school districts next year, including $14.4 million to support health and safety and $5 million for mental health services. Horswill said the Burnaby school district’s share of the funds earmarked for health and safety comes

to $556,278, and he is still waiting to find out what its allocation of the mental health money will be. “Certainly it will help with costs directly related to health and safety and, once we know the funding for mental health, it’ll help in that area as well,” he said. “It appears that the grants are being targeted to those two specific areas, so that won’t assist with any of the other budget reductions that were made.” The district cut the equivalent of nearly 27 teaching positions and 22 support staff in its preliminary 2021/22 budget to address an anticipated $12.4-million shortfall created by the lingering financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a drastic drop in international student en-

rolment. Horswill said it’s too early to tell if that picture will change at all come September. Burnaby Teachers’ Association president Daniel Tetrault said he’s happy to see money announced for health and safety and student supports, but he doesn’t think it will go far enough. “It won’t go very far spread around the province, especially when you look at the budget cuts we had in Burnaby, which will impact the services to students,” he told the NOW. “We’re hoping for an infusion from government to improve the service to students, especially coming out of the pandemic when we know the needs will be even higher.”

We’re Here to Help During this COVID-19 pandemic, we remain dedicated to caring for families suffering the loss of a loved one with the highest level of care and compassion. We are committed to the health and safety of you, your family and our staff members.

Citynow Temporary homeless shelter granted extension Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby has approved an extension to the licensing agreement for BC Housing’s Emergency Response Centre temporary shelter. In 2018, city council passed a motion allowing staff to pursue work needed to improve homelessness in Burnaby. City staff say in response to COVID-19, BC Housing has worked with numerous municipalities to open emergency response centres, including Burnaby.The centres are similar to a temporary shelter and are a safe space for people who are experiencing homelessness, providing safe distancing amid the ongoing pandemic.The shelters provide accom-

modations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Burnaby’s emergency response centre was opened in the east parking lot of Burnaby Lake Sports Complex (3860 Sperling Ave.). To help the centre operate, a licensing agreement with the city and BC Housing was signed to allow the installation of modular trailers, which house 40 beds for those who are homeless, while work continued to develop more supportive housing units at Norland Place (3986 Northland Ave). The shelter is operated by Burnaby-based Progressive Housing Society, and it started taking guests by referrals through Fraser Health and BC Housing on Feb. 1.

The agreement between the city and BC Housing was originally from Oct. 28, 2020, until the end of this month (June 30). However, the units located at Norland Place will not be finished until this coming fall, which has prompted BC Housing to request an extension of the current agreement until Dec. 31. In a recent report, the city says the licensing agreement extension aligns with the policy objectives of the city’s equity policy (2020), mayor’s task force on community housing final report (2019), the corporate strategic plan (2017), the social sustainability strategy (2011) and the official community plan (1998).

Burnaby youth jail comes under scrutiny

Report says self-harming and suicidal youth were kept in prolonged isolation at local custody centre the report.

B.C.’s ombudsperson is calling for change after an investigation that revealed a bleak picture of self-harming and suicidal youth kept in prolonged isolation at a Burnaby correctional facility. In a report released June 15, Jay Chalke said his office had launched a threeyear investigation into the use of solitary confinement at B.C.’s youth jails after complaints from youths who had been put into so-called “separate confinement” at the BurnabyYouth Custody Services Centre. From 2017 to 2019, the probe found total cases of separate confinement declined along with the number of youth in custody, but the average duration of separate confinement at the Burnaby centre tripled. The investigation zeroed in on 33 cases (all but one at the Burnaby centre) where youth were isolated for more than 72 hours and found prolonged isolation was most commonly used on youth who were self-harming or suicidal. “Prolonged periods of isolation for these reasons were experienced almost exclusively by Indigenous and racialized girls,” states

A CATCH-22 Three youth in the investigation were found to have been isolated for especially long periods: 38 days, 41 days and 47 days – and one was found to have been separately confined for 78 days over an 81-day period. “The unit most often used to separately confine youth was a dismal and unwelcoming space – noticeably darker, starker and less well maintained than regular living units,” says the report of the Burnaby facility. “Staff routinely communicated with youth through the slot in their door, and we found that this was a barrier to youth receiving mental health care.” The ombudsperson investigation, which also looked into separate-confinement cases at the Prince GeorgeYouth Custody Services Centre, found social isolation “contributed to a decline in the youths’ mental health and an escalation of self-injuring and suicidal behaviour.” A mental-health clinician quoted in the report noted youth in separate confinement find themselves in a catch-22. “(The youth) is being kept in the (isolation unit) for their safety (and the

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

safety of staff), so when (the youth) talks about wanting to hurt themselves, and others, people feel (the youth) needs to remain in the (isolation unit),” the clinician wrote. “However, remaining in the (isolation unit) contributes to the further deterioration of (the youth’s) mental health by having them essentially stuck in a ‘fish bowl’ with limited programs and interactions. This results in (the youth) feeling hopeless and continuing to engage in suicidal and homicidal ideation.” B.C.’sYouth Custody Regulation allows youth to be confined separately if they pose a risk to health or safety and no alternatives are reasonably available. The regulation states that separate confinement should continue for no longer than necessary, but Chalke’s report concludes the regulation is unjust because it allows for prolonged and indefinite isolation and the mechanisms of oversight currently in place are inadequate. “Decisions to separately confine youth – even for long periods of time – are routine rather than ‘unusual and extreme,’” states the report. Chalke’s report makes 26 recommendations to the Ministry of Children

and Family Development, including changes to legislation and regulations, an independent review of the use of force in youth custody, the creation of an independent review body, regular inspections of youth custody centres, and the development and implementation of trauma-informed alternatives to separate confinement that includes access to educational, mental health and cultural supports. ‘SPIRIT AND INTENT’ In a statement, Children and Family Development Minister Mitzi Dean said the ministry accepts “the

spirit and intent of the recommendations” and will incorporate them into the development of a youth justice framework. “We recognize the implications that separate confinement can have on a youth’s mental health and wellness, particularly for Indigenous and racialized youth who have been disproportionately affected by this practice,” she said. But Dean noted B.C. has the lowest youth custody rates in Canada, and sometimes girls are in custody by themselves. While the ministry doesn’t consider that separate confinement, Dean

said the ombudsperson had included those circumstances in the report. Chalke said he was “encouraged” that the ministry has “committed to implement the recommendations” but said the “pace of implementation” it has set out “reflects a concerning lack of urgency.” “It is time to give these issues – and these young people – the priority they need,” Chalke said in a news release about the report. The office of the ombudsperson investigates complaints against provincial and local authorities.

Local vaccination campaign targets construction workers A new campaign has been launched to get more Burnaby construction workers vaccinated against COVID-19. This includes a series of vaccination clinics promoted by building trades groups in which the workers don’t have to book a time – with a poster saying

they can “just show up.” The clinics are for first doses only and take place in Burnaby from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Christine Sinclair Community Centre on Kensington Avenue on June 24, 25 and 30, and July 8 and 9. “Wear your hard hat or bring your site access card

or other construction ID,” says the poster. “No registration needed.” The latest BCCDC COVID-19 surveillance dashboard data for June 8 to 14 shows all four quadrants in Burnaby continuing to see declines as first-dose vaccination rates are levelling off.

CABINET REFINISHING

Continued from page 1 recent five-year plan shows only managers, senior managers and a vacant assistant deputy director position reporting to new CIO Bachar Khawajah. When the city laid off more than 1,500 union employees – but no managers – last April in response to massive revenue losses linked to COVID-19, Mayor Mike Hurley said the issue with cutting managers was contracts that require severance, usually based on years of service. “Sometimes that (severance) can be more expensive. … Most managers at the city have been here a long time,” Hurley told the NOW in April 2020. Three months later, the IT department’s leadership team was gone. Asked whether the move had been a cost-saving measure, city communica-

City quiet on staff departures tions manager Chris Bryan sent an emailed statement: “The city’s IT department has been reorganized to ensure it continues to meet the IT needs of both city staff and the broader community. Overall staffing costs in 2020 for this department was $11.9 million compared to $12.5 million the year prior.” Wallace and her deputies were not the only senior staff to disappear from the city without explanation last year. When former fire Chief Joe Robertson left the city in late March after 30 years of service, the city declined to say even whether he had retired, resigned or been terminated. But the 2020 SOFI shows the city paid him $194,060 last year, which suggests he, like Wallace and her deputies, signed an agreement that included compensation.

NEW ION LOCAT

In Robertson’s case, however, the move was clearly not a cost-cutting measure since the compensation paid to the fire department’s chiefs and deputy chiefs in 2020 was more than $200,000 higher than in 2019 – and current fire Chief Chris Bowcock made more last year than Robertson ever did as chief, according to past SOFI reports. The NOW has filed multiple Freedom of Information requests in an attempt to shed light on the departure of an increasing number of senior staff who leave the city and are then paid hundreds of thousands of dollars after they are gone. The city has blocked the requests citing privacy legislation, and the requests are now with the province’s privacy commissioner.

CELEBRATING BRIGHT FUTURES FOR THE CLASSES OF 2021 Graduation is a time of reflection, a time to celebrate and a time to look forward toward the future. Thanks to the high schools in Burnaby, the Burnaby NOW celebrates this time through the words of the valedictorians from the Grad Class of 2021. What follows are excerpts from their respective speeches.

V VALEDICTORIAN: NATHAN SIHOMBING N

“High school is an obligation for all of us, so we might as well finish it strong and begin on a new journey. Some of us will go on to college, others will go straight into the workforce, but each of us will travel our own path. We have all accomplished one of the major milestones of our lives: high school graduation. No matter where we go or what we do, we will face challenges. What I’m asking from each of you, and from myself, is to meet those challenges straight on, with your head held high and your heart wide open. It’s not enough to simply try to get by in life. That doesn’t move the world forward. You must try to excel in everything you do – strive for excellence in every task… I hope that one day we will be able to cross paths and meet again.”

Burnaby Public Library www.bpl.bc.ca

Congrats to the class of 2021!

Because learning doesn’t have to end after graduation!

YOUR VALEDICTORIANS BRITISH COLUMBIA PROVINCIAL SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF VALEDICTORIAN: BELLA AIKIN “When When we first walked through the doors of the BC Provincial School for the Deaf in Burnaby, none of us believed graduation was a day that would ever come. Now we are here, wondering what happened when we struggled to open our first lockers and the school was like a maze where we constantly got lost… I will miss being pushed and challenged by the teachers to learn

BURNABY CENTRAL SECONDARY SCHOOL

new things every day… Wherever your path leads you, always live your life to the fullest and do what your heart desires… this is just the start of the future that waits for us. My fellow classmates and I made it through the good and bad times but in the end we did it! Thank you to my friends, family, teachers and graduates. I wish you the best on your journey.”

BURNABY MOUNTAIN SECONDARY SCHOOL

VALEDICTORIAN: BENJAMIN QUAN

VALEDICTORIANS: JENICA PONG & MAXWELL YUEN

“Hope is the ability to show love and support to one another during difficult times, and there is one special group of people that has supported us for all of our lives: our family… Our families have always given us hope by showing us constant support, love, and encouragement with all of our accomplishments. They have made countless sacrifices in order for us to have a good life. Our families have helped us with many things during this pandemic, from university applications to preparing us for the working world. To all the families listening tonight, I give my thanks to you for all of your dedication to our well being… We will be trailblazers as a graduating class. Things are now forever changed, and we don’t know what’s next for us in our journey. But we have to remember that hope has been our guiding light to this point.”

“We are mosaics of every adventure, every person, every ounce of joy and kindness from those around us. Graduating and leaving high school does not mean goodbye forever, as each of us carry at least one shred of this mosaic – a joke or a trait – from something or someone here. No matter how fragmented and chaotic our high school mosaic has become, it is built from memories that cannot be replicated. Trust in the experiences that we have learned from in the past 5 years of high school, unique to those who would be sitting to your left and right in the Bill Copeland arena. We encourage you to continue creating your next mosaic not with fear, but rather with the strength, resilience, and courage you have already shown your loved ones, teachers, and the entire graduating class in the past year alone.”

BURNABY NORTH SECONDARY SCHOOL VALEDICTORIAN: JONAH KING

“We are the first and hopefully last class of Burnaby North to lose our entire graduation year to the pandemic. There is no easy way to explain the past 14 months other than bizarre. What we thought would be two extra weeks of Spring Break turned into a year of phased lockdowns and quarantines. I’m just glad that we made it this far with relative safety… Our adaptability in these trying times really highlights just how driven we are. This is something that makes this class so special. Each of us has overcome so much this year, and it’s not going to get easier. But, we’ve swept these challenges to the wayside to push ourselves further. Never lose the motivation, grit, determination, whatever you want to call it that you displayed over the last five years because it’s the building blocks upon which you’ll shape your future outside of this school.”

VALEDICTORIAN: YOUNEY TEREFE

“Today, we will reminisce about our eventful past, ponder our present, and look ahead into our promising future… There is one puzzle that we all started when we were young and until today, haven’t completed… Each one is unique to us, with our own distinct interpretation… There is, however, a silver lining to our collective experience over the past year and a half. Something we never did, was stop searching for those missing pieces. We learned and fought social issues that arose with humility, grace and maturity. At last, a full clear image of yourself has emerged! A complete student, full of wonders and goals, ready to tackle any obstacle thrown your way. It is time for you to discover a new canvas, a place to build on your image, the next puzzle. Enjoy this moment and cherish it forever.”

BYRNE CREEK COMMUNITY SCHOOL VALEDICTORIAN: STEFAN DERETIC

“I think the most important thing we learned in these 5 years was how to trust each other, ask others for help and know you’re not alone… This year’s class has had to be resilient like no other. We had to completely change our lifestyles, and that included school as well. We couldn’t have fun with our friends as often, had the pressure of tests every week, and had to listen to 2-hour lectures…

every day for over 2 months. We also had to film the capstone projects we all loved so much, and try to remember what day we’re supposed to come to class… Looking at my fellow peers, I see some of the most talented and inspiring young adults. I have no doubt in my mind that each and every one of us can go on to become something amazing in our lives.”

YOUR VALEDICTORIANS

2021

ÉCOLE CARIBOO HILL SECONDARY SCHOOL VALEDICTORIAN: ROSA WARKENTIN

“If we hadn’t been completely thrown, headfirst, into this whole five-year whirlwind experience, we would not be the fearless people that we are today. We now understand that high school is just this big illusion where we think we’re learning how to do physics and biology and English and all that, but our high school years are the years where we figure out who we are,

who we care about, and who we want to become. And now it’s time to merge. It’s time to first accelerate in our own lane, and then merge onto a fast, new, unknown highway that will always challenge us. We are going to be evaluated, tested, rated, and graded for our entire lives. Let’s first realize that we are valuable as people and put our performance second.”

INDIGENOUS EDUCATION

ÉCOLE MOSCROP SECONDARY SCHOOL VALEDICTORIAN: ALICE ZHAO

VALEDICTORIAN: NATHANIEL FRANKPICHE

“As an Indigenous youth, we are often looked upon as the future… we learn of Truth and Reconciliation… Others might say what Truth and Reconciliation is but that’s not what it means to you. YOU are the answer to what Truth and Reconciliation is. YOU determine what that is going to look like and what that is going to be. Moving forward, WE determine what our future will look like. And yes I said we, because this is not a solo act. We work together, we pull each other together, and we pull the canoe along the river together. WE will make a difference. As I am one person, I would not be the person I am today without the people who I met along the journey. I am not a solo act. Because this is a journey we all face and a journey we will continue to face together as one.”

“Our year was like no other, graduating during a pandemic. And as much as everyone is tired of hearing about COVID, it did reveal a subconscious truth. The existence of human error, and the learning opportunities that arise from it. Whether we believe the issue lies in not producing vaccines or giving too relaxed a mandate, we see the struggles behind trying to please the public and doing right. We all criticise the little things, like the gooeyness of the school supplied hand sanitizer, or the lack of in-restaurant dining. But, we know that, when it comes to the little things, what matters is that we try to do good… So I want you all today to thank and forgive one another. Thank yourself for maturing out of your naivety in thinking that the world is perfect. Thank those you love, like your parents, guardians, and best friends.”

Growing community: The Culture Chats group says community gardening is a good way to build ‘everyday multiculturalism.’ It’s hosting a farm visit June 26. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Culture Chats hosts farm visit Interested in gardening? Want to connect with neighbours and newcomers to the community? Culture Chats is inviting community members to join them for a free farm visit on Saturday, June 26 in South Burnaby. Stephanie Johnson will host the Culture Chats gardening group for the visit to Mim’s Farm. She’ll share her gardening tips and offer hands-on experience for this group of newcomers who are looking to hone their gardening skills. The trip builds on two gardening workshops previously organized by Culture Chats for the Burnaby Festival of Learning. The Culture Chats association (www.culturechats. org) aims to bring together residents of the community across different cultures through a variety of

cultural experiences. “Many people who attended our gardening workshops during the Burnaby Festival of Learning have welcomed this initiative,” said Asmita Lawrence, the founder of Culture Chats. “Community gardening is a hobby shared across many cultural communities that helps people to bond over their love of plants. It can help to foster the practice of learning and living everyday multiculturalism.” Anyone interested in the group’s free activities can email culturechats@gmail. com or join the Culture Chats Meetup Group at www.meetup.com/ culture-chats-bc-meetups. For next Saturday’s farm visit, details of the venue and the visit will be provided after registration.

Family caregivers play a key role in senior care Margaret Coates contributor

In 2017, B.C.’s seniors advocate published a report that stated: “Caregiver distress is rising in B.C. while supports and services are not keeping pace with growing need.” While things may have changed for the better in the few years before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, a recent survey commissioned by the Family Caregivers of British Columbia stated that, unfortunately, caregivers have been negatively impacted by the pandemic. The survey results show that more than 50% of caregivers reported their mental health had gotten worse, more than 40% reported their physical

health had declined, and caregiver anxiety levels increased 19%, reflected in feelings of concern, nervousness and anguish. The survey says: “Family and friend caregivers are on the front lines of COVID-19.The pandemic is highlighting the essential role caregivers are playing to help our healthcare system cope with this emergency.” This is not good news for the roughly 1.1 million family and friend caregivers in British Columbia. However, it appears that the province recognized the role caregivers play as a vital link in the healthcare system by declaring May as Family Caregiver Month. Most of us have taken on the role of an unpaid

caregiver or will take on the role if we have loved ones or friends who need support. Family caregivers are often a relative or friend who provides care and support to someone living with disease, disability or frailty due to aging.Their ongoing work may involve transportation to appointments, or transport to a specific program targeted at the loved one or friend. Caregivers may also provide personal care such as bathing, hygiene, mobility assistance, dressing and assisting with eating. Or they might provide supports like phone check-ins, companionship and emotional care, medication management, light housekeeping and yard work. The experience of care-

giving can be an incredible challenge to a person’s life. Unfortunately, according to Family Caregivers of B.C., caregivers are often “unrecognized, unsupported, and underappreciated.” The Canadian Association of Retired People says the economic value of unpaid caregivers who look after seniors can save Canada’s health-care system up to $31 billion annually. A family caregiver in Canada, according to CARP, is usually over 65, and those they are caring for are mainly seniors. Caregiver supports, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, are essential given the incredible stress caregivers are under. Generally, even though given with love,

Helping hands: Family caregivers play a key role in caring for B.C.’s seniors. PHOTO GETTY IMAGES

much of the work of caregiving has an emotional and physical toll. Health and well-being is as important for the caregiver as it is for their loved ones. During COVID-19, people have not always been able to access adult day care for respite, in-

home help and informal assistance from family and friends.This has added extra pressure to an already tough situation. Family caregivers deserve our support for their critical role, especially during these unprecedented times.

Watch out for these popular scams that target seniors

The International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse designated June 15 asWorld Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Since then, various organizations, including the Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the Better Business Bureau (BBB), have come together to help provide resources, raise awareness and prevent elder abuse This year, BBB is highlighting the most common scams targeting seniors, along with tips that they, family members, business owners and their employees can all utilize to help keep them safe. Become familiar with these common scams targeting seniors: GRANDPARENTS SCAM The scammer contacts a senior claiming to be their grandchild who is in

a dire situation and needs money.The plea is so persuasive that the grandparent wires money to the scammer, only to find out later their family member was fine all along. BOGUS SWEEPSTAKES/ LOTTERY SCAM You receive an email or phone call from an alleged contest organizer informing you that you’ve won a prize.To claim your winnings, scammers say you must first pay taxes, shipping costs or other fees. You are urged to send the money by wire transfer, or buy a prepaid debit card and share the number and PIN with the “contest organizer.” In a variation of this scam, you are sent a cheque to deposit into your bank account and then wire or use a prepaid debit card to send the “taxes” to a third party.

This year

The cheque is fake and you are left to find back that money to repay the bank. Either way, you receive no winnings and lose money. TECH SUPPORT SCAM You get a telephone call or see a pop-up alert on your computer screen from someone claiming to be with tech support from a well-known software company.You are told only a tech support employee can fix a problem they have identified and you are asked to allow access to your machine. Once access is granted, the caller may pretend to run a “scan” and claim your computer is infected with viruses.The scammer then offers to fix the problem for a fee. If you allow remote access to your device, malware may be installed on your machine.

Malware often scans files in search of personal information, which scammers can use to commit identity theft. TIPS TO AVOID SCAMS: BBB is sharing the following tips: Ð Resist the urge to act im-

mediately. Do extensive research, and ask a trusted family member of friend for advice. Ð Make sure you know who you are really talking to. Ask questions that would be hard for an impostor to answer correctly.

Ð If you do not recognize a phone number, let the call go to voicemail. Hang up on unexpected calls from anyone claiming to be tech support. Ð Never wire money or send gift cards to someone Continued on page 26

Old Age Security hike helps older seniors Deb Schulte

Canada’s Minister of Seniors

Budget 2021 has helped to strengthen the financial security of Canadians later in life. It announced two important measures. In August 2021, we will issue a one-time $500 payment directly to seniors aged 75+ as of June 2022. Then in July 2022, we will permanently increase the Old Age Security pension by 10 per cent for seniors aged 75+.That’s worth $766 over the first year to pensioners receiving the full benefit and helps 3.3 million seniors. It’s targeted at older seniors who are more financially challenged and who are worried about outliving their savings. As they age, seniors face more health issues.Their health-care expenses rise due to illness or disability:

on average out-of-pocket health expenses of those aged 80+ are over $700 a year higher than those aged 65 to 74. At the same time, most older seniors can no longer supplement their income with paid work. Few seniors work beyond age 75, and those that do have median earnings of only $720 a year. The passing of spouses adds to the pressure. Among seniors, almost twice as many over age 75 are widows. And with women, on average living longer than men, it’s no wonder many senior women slip into poverty after the hardship of losing their life partners. To help secure older seniors’ finances, the Liberal government is making the first permanent increase to Old Age Security since 1973, other than adjustments due to inflation. It builds on our strong

record of supporting seniors of all ages. For the youngest seniors, we restored the age of eligibility for OAS to 65 after the Harper Conservatives raised it to 67.We also strengthened the Canada Pension Plan for future retirees, increased the Guaranteed Income Supplement for single seniors and reduced income taxes for all Canadians. Our work is showing results: the latest data shows 11 per cent fewer seniors live in poverty than when we took office in 2015. Taken together, our ambitious and progressive measures are making a real difference for seniors’ financial security, and there is more work to do. Canadian seniors can always count on Liberals to listen, understand their needs and work hard to deliver for them.

What is the best flea protection?

How do I know if WorkSafeBC (WCB) is paying me fairly?

You can always tell when it’s coming up to flea season, every other commercial is for topical flea solution; you know, stuff you apply directly on the dogs skin at the base of their neck. That stuff is TOXIC! Ever wonder why it is applied at the base of the neck? That’s where the dog can’t reach to scratch. So you, or even worse your kids, help your dog or cat out and scratch there for them. We all know how little kids like to put everything in their mouth, including the hand they just used to pat the dog that is coated in toxic chemicals.

There are a number of factors that go into assessing whether you are getting paid fairly by WCB.

A much better way, garlic! The tiniest bit of garlic, in your pets’ food, will keep fleas away and your kids safe. Amoré adds one head of garlic to 400 pounds of real ingredients, just enough to keep fleas (and vampires) away. You won’t smell it and your dog or cat and they won’t be bothered by fleas. Ask 18 year old Sassy, she’s never had a flea.

One factor is whether WCB sets your wage rate correctly. Wage rates can be calculated in a number of ways. If your wage rate does not look like it accurately reflects your average earnings, this could be the problem. Another factor is the type of compensation you are being paid. For example, are you on wage loss benefits or on a disability pension? Different stages can result in different payments. If you disagree with a WCB decision, you can request a review of this decision. If you would like help determining whether you are getting paid fairly or need assistance with your claim, call me at 604-327-9882. We offer a free consultation to determine whether we can help.

I read that gold is up almost $200 in the last month. Is this close to a new high? In the last two months (April 1- June 1), gold has gone from $1686 US to 1915 US .This is almost $230 US increase. However in that same time period gold only rose $130 Canadian due to the rose in the Canadian dollar. This is similar to 2011 when gold hit its high of $1925 US which translated to $1875 Canadian due to our dollar being worth more than the US. The new high in gold was last August when gold reached $2063 US which was almost $2700 CDN. Many analysts think gold is still going to increase but many of the same analysts believe that the Canadian dollar is also going to increase. Silver has had a much bigger increase in the last year with prices last June at $18.00 US compared to $28.00 US today. Silver still is not reached its high from 1980 at $50 CDN or 2011 high of $48 CDN.

There are various reasons, but suffice to say that the construction and successful wearing of a denture is dependent on many factors which cannot all be controlled by your dental provider. The shape of your mouth, the quality of your saliva and the presence or lack thereof of any teeth will make the largest determination of denture stability. There are many people who successfully wear dentures, but for some they can be problematic. If you have continued problems, it’s best to seek a professional opinion. There are options, like a reline to the existing denture. If it is not too old, the base of the denture can be relined to fit the present state of your ridge. For some, they may be a candidate in establishing a suction lower denture. A new technique on the market, with certified providers. If your dentures are too old, you may want to look into getting a new set to re-establish a good bite and fit, improve quality in function and aesthetics. Alternatively, there are also implant solutions. We always want to introduce what’s best and fits your needs.

How do I choose a toothpaste?

Since there is no “silver bullet” toothpaste, the best option for you will depend on the specific needs of your mouth. As a general rule, the most important ingredient of any toothpaste is fluoride for cavity control. If you choose a toothpaste without fluoride for personal reasons, be aware that more frequent brushing and flossing might be needed to prevent cavities. Beyond fluoride, a good place to start your search is by asking your dentist what areas of your mouth could use improvement. For example, if you have a lot of plaque build-up, a toothpaste aimed at tartar control would be best for you. Some other useful toothpaste options include anti-sensitivity, tooth whitening, and gum care. It is also wise to choose a toothpaste that has received the Canadian Dental Association seal of approval. Any toothpaste that has received this approval is safe to use and will help you keep your teeth their healthiest!

I want to leave money to my children when I pass away, is there anything I can do to reduce the time it takes to get the money into their hands? There is a way to save time and money – leaving more for your beneficiaries. Segregated funds are a product that allows you to pass investments directly to your beneficiaries without those assets having to go through probate. Probate is where the delays usually occur: it’s the process that verifies your last will to make sure it’s valid and provides an accounting of everything you own and owe, making sure taxes are paid. Depending on the amount and types of assets in the estate it can take a long time to make arrangements, discharge liabilities, and sell assets. Segregated fund contracts usually only take a month or so to settle. Taxes will still have to be paid, but this reduces the number of things in your estate needing to be probated which will speed up the process and leave more to your beneficiaries! If you’re interested, we’re happy to help.

How do I talk to a parent about home care?

It’s challenging to introduce in-home care services to a parent, or another loved one to support aging in place safely as long as possible. Most parents are struggling to accept outside help as they might not see a need or might believe they will lose their independence. In fact, it’s the opposite!

Helpful tips on how to start this brave conversation: 1 Start early (don’t wait until a crisis), leave out your emotions, be empathetic and involve the loved one(s) in the conversation. 2 Ensure that other family members agree on in-home care and focus on its benefits. 3 Schedule an in-home care consultation to assess care needs, mobility, safety and highlight home care benefits. 4 Don’t parent your parent(s)! Listen & respect the person’s wishes! 5 Consider the financial situation and be ready to help with home care if required.

I am ready to purchase a new home. Where do I start? Whether you are purchasing your first home or next or perhaps you are interested in an investment property or cottage, you will be making some big decisions along the way. Your first step is to determine whether you are financially ready to purchase a home. A mortgage advisor can help you get started by providing you with advice and guidance that meets your unique situation and needs, so when you find the home you want to purchase, you are financially ready to do so. When you are looking for a mortgage advisor, find someone you feel comfortable with, who will answer all of your questions, who is excited to help you achieve your homeownership goals, and make the journey as fun and seamless as possible.

6 When speaking to a loved one who suffers from Dementia/ Alzheimer’s, ensure you get their attention by saying their name and making eye contact.
