MP submits motion to block Trans Mountain New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian has submitted motion M-94 calling on the federal government to “immediately stop” construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline project.

The NDP MP also

called on the parliamentary budget officer to conduct an “ongoing and thorough” review of the financial viability of the pipeline expansion.

“It’s crystal clear that the government made a bad decision in buying this

pipeline and defending it to the hilt,” said Julian, in a statement. “It’s a project that undermines our efforts to reduce GHGs (greenhouse gases), it’s a project that doesn’t create sustainable jobs; it puts our environment, our mu-

reflect our commitment to an energy transition.”

The motion was put forward at the urging of Tim Takaro, a Vancouver-area doctor who has occupied a tree in Burnaby to protest the project.

Gas line route approved by BCUC

The British Columbia Utilities Commission has approved FortisBC’s application for a new gas line that will run north and south and near Burnaby Lake.

BCUC approved a certificate of public convenience and necessity for the gas line, which is part of the Pattullo gas line replacement project. Following this decision, FortisBC expects to start construction later this year and finish by the end of 2022. Decommissioning the existing gas line and associated infrastructure on and around the Pattullo Bridge is expected to take place in 2023.

The approved project includes: Ð Installing approximately six kilometres of new gas line, between Lougheed Highway and Sperling Avenue, and 16th Avenue and Fourth Street. Construction will mainly be along Sperling Avenue, Glencarin Drive, Lakefield Drive and Fourth Street. Ð Building a new underground pressure regulating station at the intersection of 16th Avenue and Fourth Street. Ð Building a new cycling

and walking path along the proposed gas line route, in partnership with the City of Burnaby. Ð Decommissioning the existing gas line and associated infrastructure on and around the Pattullo Bridge in New Westminster and Surrey.

“This project will ensure we can continue to supply natural gas safely and reliably to more than 35,000 homes and businesses in Burnaby, Coquitlam and New Westminster once the gas line currently attached to the Pattullo Bridge is decommissioned,” said a FortisBC news release. “The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is preparing to replace the Pattullo Bridge, and their design standards do not allow us to put a replacement gas line on the new bridge.”

Burnaby council previously rejected a different proposed gas line route that would have run east and west before turning north.

Beauty shop’s products seized over ‘health risks’

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Health officials have seized health products, including acne gel, an antibiotic cream, eye drops and eyewashes, from a Burnaby beauty shop because they contain unauthorized drugs and may pose serious health risks, according to Health Canada.

The department issued a safety alert last week saying Tokyo Beauty, located in the Metropolis at Metrotown mall, had been selling products containing prescription drugs.

“Prescription drugs

should only be taken under the advice and supervision of a health-care professional because of the risk of interactions with other medications and side effects,” states the notice.

“Prescription drugs can only be legally sold with a prescription.”

Health Canada said that all the products it seized were packaged and labelled in Japanese characters.

“As a result, information about ingredients, usage, dosage and side effects may not be understood by all consumers,” the notice stated.

Local man gets busted

Health Canada said it has seized unauthorized products from a Richmond Tokyo Beauty story with the same owner before and issued two advisories, the most recent in March of this year.

“The department will continue to take action to stop this illegal activity and update Canadians as needed,” stated the notice.

Health Canada is urging customers who bought the products to stop using them and to consult a health-care professional if they have used any of the products and are experiencing health concerns.

A 52-year-old Burnaby man and a 21-yearold Vancouver man were arrested in relation to “one of the larger drug seizures we have seen in Metro Vancouver in recent years,” according to the Vancouver Police Department.

The VPD announced it had seized more than $4 million worth of drugs and $320,000 in cash in an investigation targeting gang activity.

“This is one of the larger drug seizures we have seen in Metro Vancouver in recent years,” Supt. Lisa Byrne said.

“We believe this investigation, which ultimately led police to two major ‘stash houses,’ disrupted a significant drug-line supplying drugs in bulk.”

The VPD initiated the investigation about six weeks ago to target the drug trafficking activities of a high-profile gang, but Byrne wouldn’t identify the specific organization.

Raids in June on two rented condos in two different downtown Vancouver apartment buildings then turned up 13 kilograms of fentanyl, 11 kilograms of crystal meth, eight kilograms of benzodiazepine and five kilograms of cocaine, according to police.

“This is a very dangerous situation,” Byrne said.

“When we have this type of operation in a condo building, you can get contamination in your pipes, hallways, etc.

Fentanyl obviously is of major concern for us.”

Police also seized a hydraulic press, $320,000 in cash and a firearm, according to Byrne.

She said the two men arrested so far are “involved in the Lower Mainland gang conflict.”

Citynow Feds announce funds for Burnaby housing project Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

More affordable housing is on the way for Burnaby, according to a federal minister.

Minister of Families, Children and Social Development and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Ahmed Hussen, Burnaby North-Seymour MP Terry Beech and Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley gathered near city hall on July 7 to announce $11 million to create 22 new homes that will be offered at non -market rates.

The housing will be available for individuals and families in Burnaby under the expanded federal rapid housing initiative.

The site of the new housing has not yet been

determined, said a federal communications representative.

“We have seen how COVID-19 has worsened existing housing and homelessness challenges and without urgent action by the Government of Canada, the pandemic could lead to a dramatic increase in homelessness,” Beech said in a news release.

“Creating housing rapidly to address this housing crisis is a priority for our government.This new funding is part of our commitment to addressing severe housing needs across the country. It will provide immediate support to create safe and stable housing for thousands of vulnerable individuals and families.”

In the first round funding of $1 billion, which was announced in Oc-

tober of 2020, the rapid housing initiative was able to surpass its goal of providing 3,000 permanent affordable housing units, actually hitting 4,700 units across the country.

Another $1.5 billion has been allocated to create another 4,500 homes.

The federal government says there will now be more than 9,200 affordable houses for the most vulnerable across Canada.

“Housing is an urgent issue and we welcome this investment to create 22 new homes for people in uncertain housing situations in Burnaby,” Hurley added in the release. “This investment complements the work we’ve done to build hundreds of new affordable homes throughout Burnaby so that everyone can afford a home and feel at home in our community.”

On July 6, the provincial government also announced more housing is under construction for families, seniors and people with disabilities in Burnaby.

Twenty-five new homes in a three-storey building will include studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes.

Approximately half the units will be available at rates geared to tenants’ income, 20% will be rented at shelter rates to seniors and families on income assistance and 30% will be rented at market-average rates, according to city staff.

Housing will include three studio, 11 one-bedroom, eight two-bedroom and three three-bedroom units. Sixteen of the units will be adaptable for use by a disabled tenant.

The project is a collaborative effort between the federal and provincial governments, City of Burnaby and the New Vista Society.

The housing project, located at 7898 18th Ave., is within walking distance to Edmonds Community Centre, Bryne Creek Ra-

vine Park, Edmonds Skytrain Station and other amenities.

New Vista Society will be the operator of the building, currently expected to open in the fall of 2022.

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Answers needed on heat deaths

One of the most important reviews in recent memory is being carried out by B.C. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe, who is investigating how and why so many people – literally hundreds – died in the middle of that extraordinary heat wave we just came through.

She and her team, which will include the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, will examine and analyze the circumstances surrounding each death, which could number more than 500.

The lessons learned from her investigation could shape all kinds of public policy, and it may do so over a relatively short period.

For example, will the evidence show that many people died indoors, in the mistaken belief they were beating the heat by throwing the windows open?

A finding like this may lead to a reform of building code regulations when it comes to things like requiring air conditioning or internal cooling mechanisms as part of any new construction in some regions.

Air-conditioned homes are relatively few in British Columbia, but that may have to change going forward, especially as few scientists think the heat wave was a “freak” event.

The ages of heat victims will also draw considerable interest.Were they primarily older people living alone? On the other hand, did seemingly healthy people of a younger age succumb as well?

Heatstroke can affect any age group. Moreover, because so few of us had experience dealing with such high temperatures, some people may have been unaware of the danger 40-degree temperatures posed to their bodies.

It may well turn out that relatively few deaths occurred in long-term care

homes. If that is indeed the case, it will likely be because such facilities have staff who can ensure residents are kept safe through cooling-down measures.

However, people living alone may have been the most vulnerable, with no one to check in on them as their places of residence literally became danger zones.

Lapointe’s findings may shine on a light on a critical question: what role did communications – or perhaps, the lack of communications – play in this disaster? Was enough done to educate and inform the public about the dangers such high heat can pose?

For example, Environment Canada issued an extreme heat warning, but how many understood the implications of such a warning? After all, British Columbians are used to warnings about extreme windstorms, rain and snowfall and generally know how to cope in such situations.

But 40-degree heat?

That’s a different matter, and it is an unanswered question whether the government should have taken more steps.

There is no set timeline for Lapointe’s investigation that I’m aware of, so we shall likely have to wait at least a few weeks to see what her team uncovers.

The results will hopefully lead to changes that will prevent a high number of deaths from occurring the next time we find ourselves under a menacing heat dome.

The NDP government has received high marks for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.The jury is still out, however, on how it handled not only the deadly heat wave but also the other crisis intrinsically linked to it: the ongoing wildfire season.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Should Canada boycott the 2022 Olympics?

“If the Olympics disappeared, I wouldn’t miss them.”

Heritage house gets moved

A 128-tonne heritage house was transplanted 50 feet to the front of its Metrotown property line without a hitch. A controversial development plan called for J.A.Thurston House to be moved to make way for a new four-storey apartment.The Craftsman-style structure, built in 1912, was first stripped of anything that wasn’t needed for support, including plumbing, and then moved on a huge flatbed truck. Except a chimney, which fell when the house was lifted off its original foundation, the exterior remained fully intact.

Maybe our city needs paid permit parking Editor: Re: Entitled Burnaby homeowners using cones to block street parking. Um, no, NOW Opinion Now Chris Campbell’s article mentions homeowners, which I am not. I am not sure if Chris lives in a rental suite, but I do. I live in the Capitol Hill area and rent an upper suite in a fourplex. Now the downstairs neighbours get to park in the back driveway and there is no additional space for my vehicle or my wife’s. So, we park out front of our house.

My parents, who live next door, are also in the same predicament, where they must park out front of their home. My folks are both in their 70s, and both have health issues. Chris says when someone parks in front of your place, “you’ll just have to park a little farther away from your home” – well, isn’t that nice.

So those with mobility issues should have to park further and carry groceries, etc. because someone feels entitled to park in front of their house? Yeah, I don’t think that sounds right either.

In the winter, when we get some snow, I am out there shoveling the walkway and clearing out the space where my car is parked. Now if I do not put a cone out, I guarantee somebody

LOCAL ARTISTS • MUSIC • DRA AG AND LOTS MOR RE

Opinionnow parks in the spot I shovelled for myself or my parents, then I end up parking across the street, which is not allowed during school hours and risk getting towed/ticketed, but, hey, it is a public street, right?

I once asked a guy if he planned on being long while parking in front of my parents’ house. I explained they were coming back from a doctor’s appointment soon and my mother has mobility issues and if he could park across the street, I would appreciate it.

I was told where to go and how to get there.

Or, as mentioned in the article, I park in front of my neighbour’s house and risk getting a ticket after a few hours because someone parked in front of my house.

We have multiple restaurants just two blocks away, and with dining reopening, the streets will once again be lined up past my house with people going to eat and parking wherever they feel, which many of the neighbours tell me frustrates them. We also get people that park in our neighbourhood, then bus it to work elsewhere.

There is such a sense of entitlement and so little courtesy these days.

There are areas in Vancouver where you are required to have a parking permit and you cannot park just anywhere you feel like. I, for one, would welcome this in neighbourhoods like mine.

Burnaby grads whose last two years of high school were seriously disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic have earned more than $7 million in scholarships this year.

Some of the highlights include a full-ride scholarship to Harvard awarded to Burnaby North Secondary’s Owen Ebose, according to the Burnaby school district.

His fellow North grads Claire and Vanessa Scrimini have also earned sizeable awards, with Claire winning the $70,000 TD Scholarship for Community Leadership and Vanessa winning the $36,000 Queen’s Chancellor Scholarship.

Over at École Moscrop

Secondary, Carlos Georgescu was awarded the $80,000 Schulich Leader scholarship at UBC. Another $80,000 Schulich Leader scholarship, this one for the University of Waterloo, was awarded to a student at a local private school this year: Alicia Bremer of St.Thomas More Collegiate.

Nine grads from Burnaby or Burnaby schools also won scholarships worth up to $40,000 each from the Beedie Luminaries scholarship program started by Burnaby-born developer Ryan Beedie in 2018.

This year’s local Luminaries were Haley Wong, a Burnaby resident who attends Britannia Community Secondary in Vancouver; Henok Kibrea Dubus

Along with academic scholarships, the school district says students at local public schools have

also scooped up a total of about $2.3 million in athletic scholarships in recognition of both their athletic prowess and grades.

And not all the scholarships won by students at Burnaby public schools have yet been counted, according to the district, so this year’s total will likely be more than $7 million.

How Retirement Living Can

Don’t underestimate the continuing risks of COVID and hospitalization num-

DavidicusWong bers remain low, we will HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Having grown accustomed to wearing masks, our stepwise return to normal doesn’t feel normal at all.

How do you feel stepping out in public without a mask? Naked or free?

Relieved or somewhat anxious?

You are not alone if you feel uncertain. In fact, difficult choices in the face of uncertainty have challenged us throughout this pandemic.

Are we nearing the end or are we in a hopeful pause before the fourth wave?

On the positive side, vaccinations have clearly reduced our new case counts and hospitalizations to the point that we are progressing along B.C.’s Restart Plan.

We are now in Step 3, with normal personal gatherings and indoor and outdoor dining without limits to the number of people at your table.

Our ubiquitous face masks are no longer mandatory though still recommended in indoor public places for those 12 years and older who are not fully vaccinated (i.e. at least 14 days after your second shot).

And if our new infection

• THURSDAY, July 15, 2021 13

see an essentially full reopening on Sept. 7.

But until further notice, hospitals and medical clinics are maintaining our pandemic safety plans with mandatory surgical masks for patients and staff.

The opening up of businesses and other social activities and the dropping of the public mask mandate may lead many to underestimate the real risk of infection this summer and fall.Though vaccinations likely reduce the risk of serious COVID-19 infections with the delta and lambda variants, they are thought to be more easily transmissible. If these variants take hold as they have in other countries, our relaxed public health restrictions may allow a fourth wave.

This time, the most vulnerable are not the elderly – most of whom are fully vaccinated.

Today, those at highest risk are the unvaccinated.

Don’t think of them as anti-vaxxers or non-believers in the herd immunity of mass vaccinations.

Many of the unvaccinated are children under 12 for whom the vaccines have not yet been approved.

Others are those with medical conditions that preclude or reduce the effectiveness of the vaccines.

The majority of my

work is still virtual (phone with some video).We still see a small number of patients in person each day when an in-person assessment is needed.

In my calls, I ask my patients about their vaccination status and address their questions. Although the vast majority of them have had at least their first vaccine, a few remain uncertain, and they are not anti-vaxxers; their children have had their childhood vaccinations.They are uncertain because of the reports of rare vaccination side effects and the relatively recent development of the COVID-19 vaccines.The sheer quantity of information and opinions has been overwhelming. Many say they are waiting out for a little more information or time to pass.

I respect their decisions, remind them that the very small risks are far outweighed by the personal benefits of vaccination, and ask them to keep wearing face masks, limit their exposure in public places and carefully screen others who enter their bubbles.

Improve Your Life During the Pandemic There's no question, the pandemic has forever changed our world. But what hasn’t changed is the fact that humans are wired for connection. Young or old, introverted, or extroverted, we need the company of others to sustain our physical and mental well-being. This is the philosophy retirement communities are built on, and why today, even amid a global pandemic, retirement communities are a safe solid landing place for older adults...

Businesses move into new normal Paul Holden

Burnaby Board of Trade

This month ushered in a new world for Burnaby businesses as the province moved to Step 3 of the BC Restart Plan and most COVID-19 public health restrictions were repealed.

I would like to encourage everyone reading to have a little patience for one another and for our business community during this time.

While the mask mandate that came into effect back in November was the most visible COVID-19 precaution, businesses had actually been operating under pandemic safety plans for well over a year, since the initial reopening back in the spring of 2020.

It was at this time that businesses installed the Plexiglas barriers in front of cashiers and one-way arrows on the floor, and limited the numbers in their stores and offices.

Since then, daily worker health checks and mask requirements were added to the list of measures businesses were required to undertake.

Let’s remember that businesses faced fines

and risked closure if they were not in compliance.

Many were forced to take on the difficult task of enforcement of these public health measures with the general public as retail businesses often became the front lines of public debates around measures such as mask wearing.

After a year of this, these measures became ingrained into the routines and processes of many businesses, and understandably it will be a slow process to undo them all and transition back to more normal ways of conducting business.That’s why I’m hoping Burnaby consumers and customers will be patient and understanding as they engage with our local business community over the coming weeks.

The new rules leave much up to the discretion of individual businesses. So, yes, you may find stores which still ask you to wear a mask, you may still encounter some capacity limits in stores, or you may still see a barrier between you and the people serving you. But know that behind each mask or plastic divider is a business

owner or manager trying their best to balance the latest health recommendations with the comfort and preferences of their employees and customers, while also trying to operate a business during an extremely challenging time.

Conversely, some businesses and customers may be ready to move more quickly to this new normal, and that is OK too.

You may encounter businesses which are not requiring masks, have lifted capacity limits, or where customers move freely about the store.This is a good thing, and is where we should all be hoping to get to as the pandemic becomes less acute.These businesses are no less interested in COVID safety or in the comfort of their

employees or customers, and they are also doing their best to follow the recommendations of our public health officials who are the ones telling us it is safe to reopen more fully.

Therefore, whether you still choose to wear a mask or you don’t, or whether you’re ready to book that large table at local restaurant or you’re just not quite there yet, let’s all have patience for one another as we navigate this next, unprecedented stage in our pandemic journey and look forward to a summer that is closer to normal than we’ve all seen in a long time.

Business now Feds invest $25 million in Burnaby company Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby company has received a large investment from the federal government for its environmental project.

Svante Inc. is currently undertaking a $97.22-million project to develop low-cost carbon capture technology that will prevent the significant release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from sites like cement and blue hydrogen plants.

Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry François-Philippe Champagne announced July 7 the Canadian government will invest $25 million into the project.

The funding will help Svante Inc. manufacture its proprietary solid filter and machine products at a commercial scale.The

company is planning to manufacture systems with the ability to capture up to 2,000 tons of CO2 per day, depending on the application.

“Vancouver is the SiliconValley of carbon capture technology development, and we are very proud to anchor our world headquarters, R&D and engineering test centre, and first commercial filter manufacturing plant in Canada,” Svante Inc. president and CEO Claude Letourneau said in a news release. “Lowering the capital cost of the capture of the CO2 emitted in industrial production is critical to the world’s net-zero carbon goals required to stabilize the climate. Leaders from industry, financial sectors and government agree on the enormity of the challenge and the critical need to deploy car-

bon capture and carbon removal solutions at Gigatons scale.The carbon pulled from earth as fossil fuel needs to go back into the earth in safe CO2 storage.”

The technology could be used to help reduce emissions in many industrial processes where abatement remains challenging and costly in the foreseeable term, which includes oil, gas and hydrogen.

The government says similar technology is already being used through ongoing projects with another B.C. company, Lafarge Holcim and Total S.A. in Richmond, as well as Husky Energy in Lloydminster Saskatchewan.

“This technology is one of the tools that will help achieve Canada’s goal of net zero by 2050, especially for heavy emitting

industries that continue to produce goods Canadians use every day,” the government announcement reads.

Svante Inc. will also be able to create a new centre of excellence for carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) in Burnaby that will allow it to scale up its manufacturing operations to produce commercialscale structured adsorbent

filters and test its proprietary rapid adsorption machine (RAM).

The government says these can capture up to 2,000 tons of CO2 per day, which is what a 10-square-kilometre forest captures in one year – more than twice the size of Vancouver’s Stanley Park.

The investment from the feds will help create 53 jobs, maintain 72 jobs

and provide 124 co-op positions and invest a minimum of $205 million in research and development.

Svante Inc. is expected to be the first industrial point source-carbon capture technology manufacturer using solid sorbents to expand manufacturing supply chains at a commercial scale within the Northern American market.

KRGOVICH, Eileen E. December 30, 1933 − June 16, 2021 We remember a strong and caring woman; a daughter, a sister, wife, mother, grammy, great grammy, auntie, great auntie, and true friend.

Eileen passed away peacefully at the age of 87 years in a loving and caring home environment at Brookside Lodge, where she lived for the past twelve years with Alzheimer’s disease. The staff grew to love and care for her exceptionally well.

With our extreme gratitude through the COVID−19 chaos, she was kept safe from the pandemic.

Eileen was born to Olaf and Ruby Johnson on December 30, 1933, in Shellbrook, Saskatchewan.

She left the family farm in Ordale District at the age of sixteen to move to Vancouver to live with her sister Margaret and family. Eileen worked for Eaton’s and Glenburn Telephone Exchange and contributed her time to the Royal Canadian Air Force Reserve.

Eileen married Mike on June 1, 1957. They became proprietors of Admiral Decorating Supplies, and later on, Mike’s Kaboose. Eileen was actively involved in her community. While raising her children, she opened their home to many neighbourhood children. She was a PTA mom and when the boys became involved with Lacrosse and Hockey, she was a valued contributor to the Minor and Junior Sports Club Executives.

Eileen is predeceased by her husband, Mike [Milan]. She is survived by her daughter, Janis Rose; granddaughters, Auzsha Rose and Tallea Evelyn Rose; great−grandson, Kache Michael Robert; sons, Milan Robert [Marna] and Douglas John; her brothers, Clarence, Aaron [Arlene], and Bill; and sisters, Kate, Grace, and Shirley [Al]; as well as, many nieces & nephews, and great−nieces & great−nephews. Eileen is predeceased by her parents; and siblings, Ernie, Annie, Margaret, Marvin, Ida and Lesley.

To honour Eileen, please consider donations to the Alzheimer’s Society or a society of your choice.
