Citynow TRANSPORTATION

Meetings set up to detail gas line disruptions Work will start on a new gas line in Burnaby this November to serve more than 35,000 homes and businesses in Burnaby, Coquitlam and New Westminster.

The route has been chosen and approved in Burnaby, and FortisBC is hosting two virtual sessions to get public feedback.

The six-kilometre gas line project in Burnaby will go along Sperling Avenue, Glencarin Drive, Lakefield Drive and Fourth Street – a route (shown in the map) announced earlier this year following more than two years of technical investigations and local engagement.

“We believe working closely with local and Indigenous communities is essential to successfully delivering a major infrastructure project like this,” said

Doug Slater, vice-president of external and Indigenous relations with FortisBC, in a statement.

“Our Pattullo gas line replacement project incorporated feedback received during engagement.The project is creating economic opportunities for local and Indigenous companies, and will include construction of new cycling and walking infrastructure that the community can enjoy for years to come.”

FortisBC has partnered with the City of Burnaby to design and build the new cycling and walking path along the proposed route.

“A key goal in Burnaby’s updated transportation plan is to make it easier for residents to make the shift to active transportation,” said Mayor Mike Hurley, in a news release.

“This is a great opportunity to add a significant piece of infrastructure that supports this goal, and it will create a fantastic con-

nection to the city’s greenspaces.”

The community can expect to see road and lane closures along the route,

with details being made available at the project webpage talkingenergy.ca.

Work on the new gas line is expected to be com-

pleted by the end of 2022.

The community is invited to participate in virtual information sessions on Oct. 14 and 19, where they can learn more, ask questions and provide feedback. For more details on the project including the upcoming information sessions, visit talkingenergy.ca/pat tullogasline. You can also contact the project team directly at 604-576-7208 or pattullogasline@for tisbc.com.

The B.C. Utilities Commission approved FortisBC’s application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity in June 2021, which includes installing a new underground pressure regulating station at the intersection of 16th Avenue and Fourth Street.

Unsightly property set for second city cleanup

Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is looking to go in and clean up an unsightly property of “filth” after numerous complaints from neighbours and little action from the homeowners, said a city report.

If approved, this would be the second time the city has had to do this for the home, which is located on Nithsdale Street, just north of Burnaby Hospital and east of Boundary Road.

The staff report says the city has received multiple complaints going back to 2008, with 12 inspections being conducted by city staff just since 2018.

Inspections have discovered the following: Ð Overgrown grass, weeds, vines and blackberry bushes Ð Discarded items includ-

ing, but not limited to, cardboard boxes, plastic bags, kitchenware, lumber, insulation, luggage and bags of garbage, plus various electronic items Ð An unlicensed and possibly derelict vehicle. A derelict vehicle is considered any vehicle that is uninsured for highway use and is inoperable.

“This place is disgraceful,” said a Nithsdale resident when the NOW dropped by the property.

“The entire neighbourhood is embarrassed by it, and no matter how much we complain to the city and to the owner, nothing gets done. But now I’m happy to hear the city will clean it up.”

There have been a total of five unsightliness complaints against the property since 2008, received from three different people, said the report.

As a result of complaints

received in 2008 and 2011, council approved a staff recommendation to have city staff clean the property.The property was cleaned in 2012. Since then, three additional complaints have been received.

The staff report details various attempts to speak with the property owner in the past three years, with middling success, as well as a series of bylaw violation notices being issued, with not all of them being paid.

The report says that in August, the city informed the property owner that if the property wasn’t brought into compliance, it would be cleaned up by the city at the owner’s expense.

An invoice will be issued to the homeowner.

If it isn’t paid, it will be charged onto the owner’s property tax bill.

Police investigate suspected playground pepper-spraying

NATIONAL DAY FOR TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police are investigating the suspected pepper-spraying of a playground structure that left preschoolers at a North Burnaby daycare with stinging, burning hands and faces last week.

Staff at the Puddle Splashers Daycare on Frances Street did a daily safety check of the playground before taking the kids out at about 11 a.m. on Sept. 23, director Shawna Harrison told the NOW. About 10 minutes later, however, she said several children who had gone to play on a large wooden climbing structure all started coughing and saying their hands and faces were burning.

Three staff members who went over to attend to them also started experiencing symptoms, Harrison said.The staff rushed the kids inside, changed their clothes and applied cold compresses to their hands and faces, according to Harrison.

Not knowing what substance the kids and staff members had been exposed to, the daycare called poison control and reached out to the school district for help, she said.

Harrison said she suspected someone had pepper-sprayed the structure,

We strive to acknowledge and correct past wrongs while c creating a more inclusive society.

and poison control agreed based on her description of the symptoms.

Some of the children had to be sent home.

“They were really upset because they were burning,” Harrison said.

She reported the incident to police, and an officer was in the neighbourhood investigating that afternoon.

“I’m incredibly angry,” Harrison said. “Who would do this? These children are three and four years old.”

The equipment is owned and operated by Puddle Splashers but located on school district property leased by the daycare. Harrison said the district had someone at the site “in minutes” to wash down the structure, and the structure was wrapped in caution tape and put

out of commission for several days.

“When the childcare provider contacted us to tell us what happened, our first concern was for the children,” school district secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill said in an emailed statement.

A parent who spoke to the NOW but did not want her name used said she was “very happy” with how the daycare dealt with the situation despite her child being “one of the kids who had one of the more harsh reactions.”

“Even while dealing with reactions themselves, staff did their best to minimize exposure to the children,” she said.

Pepper spray is suspected but has not been confirmed as the source of the symptoms, according to Harrison.

Future look at Christmas

“Ten years from now, Santa on Christmas will be a video game. On Dec. 25, people will go to a special Christmas arcade where they will pay $100, and the machine will spill out presents. I honestly think it will be popular for the average rich, lazy people who are too lazy to shop around for Christmas presents.”Thus said reader Kent Esen in the Dec. 19, 1983 issue of the Burnaby NOW. Readers had been asked to imagine what Christmas would be like 10 years into the future for a special Christmas-themed contest.

Editor: I never thought I would need to support a vaccine passport. It is like a skydiver refusing a parachute.

A lack of knowledge is totally fair to expect.

We are all experts in different areas.

I try to reconcile how we got to where we are today.

The information yo-yo the government chose to play has truly messed things up for our society. In some cases, I feel they were dishonest with us. It was obvious that this virus was airborne very early on.

In medicine we use something called a precautionary principle, where we should suspect it is airborne until proven otherwise. But that type of PPE was hard to come by, and it’s also very expensive.

It creates a lot of distrust when the government bases policy on supply rather than supply on policy.

This government has managed to off-put the professionals and the lay person.

A good education on the immune system and how science will evolve during a pandemic would have gone a long way had it been done when people were ready to listen.

It feels like there was no strategy session on

how to approach this from a public relations perspective. It seemed very reactionary and knee-jerk, frankly.

And it’s not surprising that we have lost buyin from people.

But what I do find very upsetting is that people are truly desperately ill. People are dying that shouldn’t die. And this pandemic is going on far too long because appropriate measures were not taken from the start. The fact that this country was left open to travel for months is the biggest mistake in our history.

So to answer the question, do I support the vaccine passport?

I would prefer to support a total lockdown until this thing is gone. It’s what we should have done in the beginning. The arbitrary rules that this government has come up with are mind- boggling. Ask any teacher or parent; schools are the biggest spreader of any bug going around, but the government doesn’t test kids and makes outlandish statements like they can’t get sick.

I believe that the vaccine passport is a way of coercing people to get the vaccine. It seems to be working in some respects, so I guess I reluctantly support them.

But I am saddened on so many levels that this is what it has come to.

Citynow Transit mask dispute leads to violence Bear-mace incident Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police say a mask dispute ended in violence on a Burnaby SkyTrain last week.

At about 7:20 p.m. on Sept. 20, a woman was on a SkyTrain travelling through Burnaby when she noticed a man and a woman near her without masks on, according to a MetroVancouverTransit Police news release.

The woman asked them

if they had masks to wear, to which they replied “What’s it to you?” according to the release.

The female suspect then got up and allegedly knocked the woman to the ground, the release said.

Both suspects then allegedly hit the victim while she was on the ground before leaving the train at Metrotown station.

The victim, who stayed on the train and contacted transit police, was not seriously injured, police said.

“The circumstances surrounding this incident are troubling,” spokesperson Const. MikeYake said in the release. “Violence in any form will never be tolerated, especially when it’s unprovoked and results from a reasonable expectation that masks be worn on transit during a pandemic. Officers are enforcing mandatory masks on transit.”

The female suspect is described as a 5-foot-5, white woman in her 20s

with a medium build and long dyed red hair.

She was wearing a black coat with writing down the sleeves and red track pants.

The male suspect is described as a 5-foot-10 white man between 25 and 30 years old, with a medium build and short brown hair. He was wearing a dark jacket and jeans.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact transit police at 604-5158300 or text at 87.77.77.

Police will look into whether a bear-mace incident involving teens in North Burnaby might be linked to the suspected pepper-spraying of a local daycare playground last week.

Police were called to the area of Hythe Avenue and Dundas Street at about 8:20 p.m. on

Sept. 23 for reports of mace being deployed at a house, according to Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Mike Kalanj.

A group of teens between the ages of 13 and 17 reported that an “unknown person” had entered the house and bearsprayed one of the youths – but not a lot more information was provided, he said.

Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant Projects We want to hear from you

The Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant in Richmond, BC is being upgraded to protect public health and the environment in a growing region. The design concept includes tertiary treatment and a range of ecological restoration projects.

The projects are in the project definition phase. Work is underway to refine the design to ensure the best possible projects are presented to Metro Vancouver’s Board for consideration in early 2022.

Metro Vancouver is seeking feedback on aspects of the projects that could, based on current work to refine the design, result in revisions to the design concept that was presented during previous project engagement. Topics will include treatment technology, plant footprint, project cost estimates, and schedule.

Citynow Former fire chief alleges harassment, bullying Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s last fire chief says he had a mental breakdown and twice tried to take his own life after a “lengthy period of harassment and bullying” by the city’s current fire chief and the local firefighters’ union president before being fired without cause by the city two years ago, according to documents filed in small claims court last week.

Joe Robertson left the Burnaby Fire Department in March 2020 after almost a year on mental health leave.

City officials provided no explanation for his final departure, declining even to clarify whether he had retired, resigned or been terminated.

Mayor Mike Hurley, a former Burnaby firefighter and union president who got significant support from the local firefighters’ union to get elected, told the NOW he didn’t know

anything about it.

And the city heavily redacted documents it released in response to a freedom of information request, saying releasing the information would be an invasion of privacy.

(The NOW has appealed to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner and is waiting for a hearing into the matter.)

But Robertson is now suing the city in small claims court, and the documents he has filed may shed light on his departure.

In a notice of claim, he says he suffered a “mental breakdown” involving two suicide attempts, hospitalization and a long recovery after “a lengthy period of harassment and bullying by the union president and the person who is now the fire chief.”

(The current head of the fire department is Chief Chris Bowcock and the longtime president of IAFF local 323 is Jeff

Clark.)

Robertson says the city and WorkSafeBC both investigated his complaints and he was eventually “found to have been harassed and bullied.”

“During my recovery, and while I had been off work for some four months, the union president and another union official filed retaliatory harassment complaints against me in an effort to further harass me,” Robertson writes.

WorkSafe didn’t investigate those complaints, according to Robertson, but the city did.

He doesn’t provide any information about the outcome of the city investigations against him, but says the city terminated him without cause when they were done.

He says he signed a release, and the city gave him 20 months’ pay for a total of $311,050.

Municipalities are obliged to report on how many severance agree-

ments they sign every year and how many months’ salary and benefits those agreements represent.

In 2020, the year of Robertson’s departure, Burnaby signed six agreements worth between seven and 20 months’ salary and benefits, according to the city’s statement of financial information

(SOFI).

In his small claims suit, Robertson alleges the city improperly held back part of a WorkSafe payment.

He is suing for $13,859.21.

In response to questions about Robertson’s allegations, city communications manager Chris Bryan said the city

“doesn’t comment on personnel matters.”

The NOW has also reached out to IAFF Local 323 for comment and is waiting to hear back.

The city has not yet filed a response to Robertson’s claim, and his allegations have not been proven in court.

Police will investigate link to playground pepper-spraying Continued from page 8 “They’re not being cooperative or saying anything about anything,” Kalanj said of the teens.

On Reddit, a person who said they were staying in the area described a

commotion: “A well-known group of teens that live in the area started screaming bloodcurdling screams Thursday night at around 8 to 9pm, yelling for help from their balcony,” stated the

online post. “I think they sprayed themselves with the pepper or bear spray at one of the teen boy’s home (and) the fire truck came and cops stayed for a couple hours.”

Kalanj said police have

attended the house where the pepper spray was deployed “multiple” times since the beginning of the year.

He said police are now canvassing the neighbourhood for security video to

shed more light on the incident.

There is currently no indication it is linked to the suspected pepper-spraying of playground equipment three kilometres away at Puddle Splashers Daycare

on Frances Street, but Kalanj said police will investigate any possible link.

We know Burnaby residents are ready and eager to get out and enjoy the incredible events and celebrations that our community is known for. That’s why we’ve taken special precautions to ensure that everyone will be able to enjoy this event safely.

Over the past 50 years, Burnaby Village Museum has served as a portal back in time, offering generations of Burnaby residents and visitors the chance to learn about our shared history and heritage.

It is a unique place, unlike any other museum or attraction in Metro Vancouver.

And that makes it the perfect place to host Eerie Illusions.

This Halloween, the Village will serve as a portal to a completely different realm –one where magic is real and crows are especially talkative.

Spooky? Maybe. Wonderful? Definitely.

Will you be brave enough to venture through the portal into this new world?

There’s only one way to find out!

Honouring and Reflecting: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Citynow Burnaby school trustees not mandating K-3 masks Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby teachers won’t get the extended mask mandate they’d hoped for – at least not yet.

The Vancouver school board passed a motion Monday night to make masks mandatory for primary students, becoming the first district in B.C. to go beyond the province’s guidelines.

The Burnaby Teachers’ Association had urged the Burnaby board to follow suit.

“Ideally, we’d like it to be provincial, but, short of that, it’s encouraging to see districts go beyond,” president Daniel Tétrault told the NOW. “We’re advocating for Burnaby to go beyond as well.”

Local parents also

pressed for the mask mandate to be expanded.

District parent advisory council chair Ashley Sandquist was one of five DPAC chairs to sign a letter sent to provincial Health Minister Adrian Dix and Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside Monday calling for “urgent measures” in light of rising COVID cases among children.

Expanding the mask mandate to include younger kids was at the top of their list.

But, at a public school board meeting Tuesday, the school board unanimously passed a motion reiterating its “strong encouragement” that everyone, including kindergarten to Grade 3 students wear masks in schools.

The motion also prom-

ised the board would ask public health officials to consider “additional public health measures to increase mask wearing in schools to the fullest extent supported by the medical science and educational pedagogy” and give an update on the matter at its next public board meeting or sooner.

Trustee Ryan Stewart, who introduced the motion, said the board has been guided by public health specialists throughout the pandemic and will now urge them to make sure “everything appropriate is being done to help us ensure our schools remain safe.”

“Frankly, none of us is a medical doctor, let alone an epidemiologist or public health official,” he said.

A new BC Hydro reports finds COVID-19 has driven B.C. seniors to become more tech-savvy, yet many are still not using online tools to their full advantage.

The report, titled Digital divide: COVID-19 pushes B.C. seniors to close technology gap, but challenges persist, finds seniors are spending more time online – a trend that has increased during the pandemic.When faced with being disconnected from family and friends, seniors were forced to adopt new technology quickly. For example, about 60% have learned to use video calling applications, such as FaceTime or Zoom since the pandemic began – far more than any other age

group.

The report also finds seniors have turned to social media. About three-quarters of B.C. seniors use social media – with most using it daily. Outside of joining TikTok, seniors are the most likely to have joined all other social media platforms over the past year. Overall, social media is likely a big contributor to the one to five hours a day that most seniors admit to spending online, and 60% said they use social media primarily to keep in touch with loved ones.

But it appears that seniors are still missing out on many of the online benefits available to them. For example, they are 25% less likely to make an online purchase for essen-

tial items from the grocery store or pharmacy than other adults in B.C. BC Hydro data suggests the same trend with the adoption rate of MyHydro – an online account tool – being the lowest among customers aged 55 or older.

Lack of confidence using new online tools and needing support may be preventing seniors from adopting more new technology.The report finds that 60% of seniors said they typically need help when it comes to setting up a new device or using a new online application for the first time.This is three times more than the 18-to34-year-old age group and about twice as likely as the 35-to-54-year-old age group.

Financing will help Fresh Prep hire staff and roll out a reusable meal kit to reduce plastic waste

Burnaby meal kit delivery service company Fresh Prep has secured a whopping new round of financing.

In all, the company raised $21 million in a Series B financing round.

Led byVancouver-based private equity firmYellow Point Equity Partners, along with support and participation from Renewal Funds, the funds raised over this six-yearold company’s history total more than $35 million.

“We were delighted to find one of the most innovative players in the meal kit delivery industry right here in our backyard,” said Dave Chapman, managing partner ofYellow Point, in a statement. “Its substantial growth to date has been underpinned by the management team’s commitment to their values of local sourcing, sustainability and pleasing their customers.We believe these values, exemplified by the company’s innovative Zero Waste Kit and carbon-neutrality commitment, will resonate with customers across the country.We are enthusiastic to be partnering with this special local business in its next phase of growth.”

and Husein Rahemtulla went from creating recipes in their home kitchen to now preparing meals for tens of thousands of customers across B.C. out of their 60,000-sq.-ft. production space.

Last year, the company secured Series A funding, which facilitated innovation and talent acquisition, with the business growing to over 350 employees in B.C. As the company grows, one of its core values is to support local businesses and the communities they operate in.

“Providing local and high-quality food has been a key ingredient to our growth,” says Dhruv Sood, co-founder and co-CEO at Fresh Prep. “By partnering with local suppliers and businesses, the food travels fewer miles and is fresher, resulting in a more premium service delivered to our customers at a lower price.”

Fresh Prep also works with other local suppliers to provide additional items such as smoothies, baked goods, snacks and more within their online marketplace to provide additional options to customers.

Q

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

Q

A

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

A

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.

The best starting point to see if dentures are an option for you is to visit a Denturist. A Denturist focuses solely on removable appliances that replace teeth with extensive training on the restoration and replacement of teeth, including dentures for even the most complex cases.

Dentures may replace all or only some of the teeth. The dentures that replace all the teeth are known as complete dentures and they rest on the gums that cover the jawbones. The stability and retention of these dentures are dependent on the foundation.

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.

Dentures that replace some but not all of the teeth are known as partial dentures. They attach to the teeth that are still present and also cover and rest on the gums and bone where the teeth are missing.

I need dentures. Where do I start?

A Denturist will also be able to help determine if another treatment option might be more suited to your particular situation.

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.

I have a bunch of silverware I am hoping to sell you. How can I tell if they are real silver or just plated?

Q

Do you really use any of these excuses to explain why you didn’t understand someone?

Q

What is a dental implant?

Yes, we do buy sterling silverware but not plated.

A

“You are mumbling”, “The restaurant is too noisy”, “The volume isn’t high enough”, “I wasn’t paying attention”, or “You are speaking too fast and/or too softly”.

A

Many of us have faced with a diagnosis that a tooth or teeth are no longer fixable and needs to be removed. In the past a single missing tooth means you could have a bridge placed by using teeth on either side for support of a false tooth. If you’re missing a few teeth, there is only a removable denture option.

Almost all North American real silverware is stamped “Sterling”. This means that they are made from 92.5% silver.

Silver plate is usually copper plated with silver.

You can eliminate the following American brands, Oneida, Community and Rogers, all of these three company only made silver plate.

English silver is marked differently. They use “Hallmarks” that are stamped into the pieces.

We look for a “Lion” mark stamped into the piece. Usually the Lion is facing left but sometimes it is standing upright.

If you recognize yourself using one or more of these phrases, chances are good that your hearing simply isn’t as good as it used to be.

You’re not alone - over 48 million of North Americans who report some degree of hearing loss, cite other people or other things causing their hearing difficulties, but that doesn’t make it any better. Maybe, it’s time to own your hearing loss and to schedule a hearing evaluation with a hearing healthcare professional. The sooner you discover there is a problem, the sooner we can offer a solution to improve your hearing.

We can no reliably use dental implants to restore single or multiple missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium fixtures implanted in the upper or lower jaw with a prosthetic tooth attached. It feels and functions much like a natural tooth. It doesn’t rely on teeth next door for support risking damaging them. So talk to your dentist to see if dental implants are right for you!

Many European countries use 800 or 835 markings which mean they are 80% or 83.5% silver.

If there is only two numbers such as 80 or 90 that means they are plated.

An average sterling set of silverware is worth between $1,000 to $1,500 for us to purchase.

I am having trouble overspending each month. I’ve tried to budget but it’s too much work to track everything I spend. I’ll start but then give up in a couple of weeks.

What can I do differently to have more success?

This answer starts with knowing how much you spend each month and how much after-tax money you bring in. But before you start worrying about creating a dreaded budget and tracking every nickel and dime per category, let’s look at a different approach. My budget has two categories in it: fixed and variable. Fixed expenses are how much you need to spend each month to maintain your lifestyle. While variable expenses include what you are accustomed to having on hand to really enjoy your lifestyle, such as money for a fancy coffee. I have a spreadsheet that list out all the bills needed to keep a roof over my head, my family (and dog) fed and gas in my car; everything else is variable. Next, keep an eye on where you tend to overspend. Overspending tends to happen in one or two areas so rather than focusing on the whole budget, focus on the areas that are giving you trouble. Is it late night online shopping tempting you with free shipping?

A hobby or collection that’s gotten out of hand? Forcing yourself to give up something you enjoy rarely works, but at times some recreational “triage” needs to take place. You can either replace it with something else that you enjoy that costs less, or if you decide the enjoyment is worth the money spent then set a maximum spend per month or even make a game of finding great deals for your hobby each month.

Q

How to encourage an elderly person to bathe or shower?

Q

What is a pre-approval?

A

Broaching the subject of bad bathing habits is a sensitive matter. Fears about falling in the bath or seeming incapable of self-care can motivate a contrary reaction.

A

Once you’ve found the right mortgage advisor, a good first step in your home buying journey is to secure a pre-approval, which is based on verified client financial information such as your employment and down payment confirmation. While a pre-approval does not guarantee approval of a mortgage, it helps estimate the mortgage amount you may qualify for. The final approval decision is made when a full mortgage application is submitted along with details of the property being purchased. With a pre-approval, you and your mortgage advisor can discuss different options and scenarios to determine if you are ready to purchase your home and help refine the search criteria for your new home. Home buying is one of the most important financial decisions you will make, and your mortgage advisor will provide the advice and individual plan you need to guide you through the home buying journey.

If the person does wash sometimes, compliment the behaviour. Say something like “That shampoo really made your hair look nice.” Overall, be positive. Don’t give commands like “You need to wash!” Instead, try “I think a spa day would make you feel good.”

Ask the person’s doctor to emphasize regular bathing.

A doctor’s order can carry more weight than a family member’s suggestion. A doctor might also detect problems that are interfering with washing, like reduced mobility.

Install bathing aids, like a handheld sprayer, bathing chair, and grab bars.

At times, seniors having dementia or fear of falling require physical assistance. In such cases, hire a home care company that will provide an experienced caregiver to promote safe bathing and showering.

THOMSON, Eileen May 23, 1925 - September 27, 2021 Eileen was born in New Westminster on 7th Avenue in her Uncle Joe’s house to loving parents Catherine and Edward (Ted) Bradford on May 23, 1925. She passed away peacefully at Buchanan Lodge in New Westminster on September 27, 2021. Eileen was predeceased by husband Melvin (2011); parents Ted (1977) and Catherine (1987), as well as beloved cousin Keith Russell (2000). She is survived by her sons Bruce of Gabriola Island and Gerald of New Westminster. Eileen was a native daughter of New Westminster where she lived all her life. She had a happy childhood with her parents, as well as extended family Uncle Joe Blackwell, Nana and brother William (Willie) who was taken too early at age 20 in 1935. As a young child Eileen played in Moody Park and remembers it was a “hay field” in summer with long grass. She attended Lord Kelvin Elementary and later Duke of Connaught High School after the family moved to 9th Street. After graduation Eileen went to the Pitman Business School and worked at Gregory Price Men’s Wear on Columbia Street. Her boss, Keith Price, became our “uncle” and his wife Edith our “aunt” throughout their lifetimes. Eileen and husband Melvin married in 1947 when his military service ended. Melvin built their home on Chilliwack Street in Victory Heights along with others veterans of WW II who remained in the neighbourhood until their own deaths. Her childhood friends Margerite Hutchinson and Doreen Wilson, who had also married veterans, lived close by. From the 1960’s until her retirement Eileen worked for lawyer Melvern J. Hughes who was both friend and boss.

Eileen remembers fondly coffee breaks at Woodwards at 6th and 6th with her friends Helen, Grace and Hilda, where she occasionally indulged in one of the famous strawberry tarts. She also went to the old Waffle House on 6th Avenue for coffee with friend Joan Byng. Eileen’s life revolved around the happenings of New Westminster as May Day each year with its parade; Hockey/Lacrosse/baseball games at Queens Park; movies at the Columbian/ Paramount theatres; shopping on Columbia Street at department stores Collisters, Woolworths, Metropolitian, Army and Navy and uptown at Woodwards. In later years she, Mel and her friend Doreen liked going to the Quay to watch the seasons come and go by the Fraser River. Eileen will be sadly missed by her family and neighbours on Chilliwack Street, Roy and Joanne Thomson. It was fate that another pair of Thomson’s moved next door in the 1980s. The family would like to thank the staff of Buchanan Lodge for their loving care of Eileen. Donations should be made in Eileen’s memory to Buchanan Lodge, New Westminster Salvation Army.

As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...
