City wants to add lighting along SkyTrain line Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is looking to spend $9.8 million in the next few years to add “accent lighting” along SkyTrain’s Expo line. The project would be done in four phases,

stretching to January 2023, with a series of coloured lights being added to the large columns under SkyTrain, including lights that would reflect on the ground in various shapes and designs. The project is similar to the one completed by Coquitlam for the Ever-

green line, with the large columns changing colours and designs up and down North Road on the Burquitlam border. The first two phases will cost $3.4 million, starting with lighting on 12 columns from Metrotown SkyTrain station to Willingdon Avenue by this De-

cember.The second project will add lighting from Metrotown SkyTrain station to Imperial Street and Willingdon to Patterson SkyTrain station by April 2022. “The scope of this project requires design/build services to fully design, engineer, supply and install

a complete working accent lighting system on the guideway SkyTrain columns along Beresford corridor. According to the staff report, once those two phases are completed, the stretch of SkyTrain from Imperial to Royal Oak SkyTrain station will be

completed for $1.4 million by June 2022. After that, lighting would be added from Royal Oak to the Edmonds SkyTrain station by January 2023 at a cost of $4.9 million. Future funding requests for the latter two zones will be included in the 2022 – 2026 capital plan.

Co-op residents fear eviction if building sold

Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

The Co-operative Housing Federation of BC is calling on the provincial government and the City of Burnaby to protect 425 affordable co-op homes. The residents of a 244unit non-profit housing coop in Burnaby are at risk of losing their homes when the property is sold on the commercial real estate market by its owners, said the federation.The lease ends on Oct. 31. If the proposed sale proceeds, these co-op homes could be turned into market rentals that the current residents cannot afford, said the federation. The 115 Place Co-operative Housing Association includes two towers on

Cardston Court. A recent survey of 115 Place residents found that more than one-third of respondents were more than 75 years old, said the federation. “Aging members are deeply concerned about the impact of a move from co-op to market rents,” said a news release. “More than one in four members said they would be at risk of homelessness if rents rose to anything approaching market levels.” The 115 Place property is not the only Burnaby co-op at risk of being sold, said the federation. Post 83 Co-operative Housing Association is home to 181 member households on Mayberry Street near Metrotown. Post 83 also leases its land – it expires

exactly a year after the 115 Place lease. The federation says the province, through BC Housing, has offered to buy the 115 Place property for its appraised value, but didn’t reach an agreement with the owners.

“The province has made an offer that would reward the (owners) for its longterm investment in the property while protecting low-income seniors from losing their homes,” said Thom Armstrong, CEO of CHF BC.

The lease agreements with the co-ops are with the Operating Engineers’ Pension Plan and have been in place for 40 years. “We have been in discussions with BC Housing for several years on a possible sale agreement and have exhausted every conceivable option to conclude a fair and equitable sale agreement,” said Claudia Ferris, Operating Engineers’ Pension Plan spokesperson, in a statement. “Despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach an agreement on the terms of reference for the appraisal with BC Housing. Our foremost priority remains the fair and respectful treatment of the building’s residents throughout the sale process.To

address residents’ concerns, the Operating Engineers’ Pension Plan has informed the co-op board that we will not entertain offers from prospective purchasers without assurance there will be no evictions or renovictions. It is disappointing that the Cooperative Housing Federation of BC is frightening co-op residents by publishing misleading statements to the media.We will continue to work with the City of Burnaby, the provincial government, and relevant government agencies to look at various options that sustain housing affordability in the region. It is not within our mandate as a pension plan to hold investments in perpetuity.”

‘Unfounded’ call clears shopping mall

Burnaby RCMP officers are investigating if a fake call – known as “swatting” – was responsible for causing panic in the Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre last Friday afternoon. Burnaby RCMP were initially called to the area to assist Transit Police with an investigation that forced the closure of the Metrotown SkyTrain station just before 3 p.m. Around the same time, a report was received about a possible person with a gun, with shots possibly being fired, in the mall. Burnaby RCMP officers assisted with securing and evacuating the mall to ensure the safety of the public.The public was urged to avoid the area. “A careful grid search was then conducted inside the mall, with the assistance of the Emergency Response Team,” said an RCMP news release. “No threat was found, and there were no injuries.The incident at Metrotown Station was also deter-

mined to be unfounded.” The mall was given the all-clear around 6:30 p.m., but remained closed to the public for the rest of the day. “We understand this was a dynamic and distressing situation for the public and those in the area, with customers and staff taking shelter in stores in the mall, and others evac-

uating from the building,” said Cpl. Mike Kalanj with Burnaby RCMP, in a statement. “We are thankful this isn’t a situation that is often faced in Canada, and are grateful this call was unfounded and nobody was hurt.” Burnaby RCMP is investigating the source of the call, and whether the incident was related to

“swatting,” where fake emergency calls are made to provoke a large response from police and other agencies. Swatting is a criminal offence. “As we saw, these unfounded reports prompt a large response from first responders, who must take these incidents seriously to protect the public,” said Kalanj.

When it comes to winning a seat on Burnaby council, money still talks. Alison Gu and Mike Hillman are Burnaby’s latest council members, and they were the biggest spenders in the June 26 byelection to fill two empty seats, according to financial disclosures from Elections BC. According to the disclosure statements, the Burnaby Citizens Association spent more than $93,000 on the campaign for its two candidates, Gu and Baljinder Narang, who came in third place. According to the statements, the BCA still has a $152,000 surplus in its account. Hillman spent more than $51,000 on his campaign, followed by Lee Rankin, with $7,000.The Burnaby Green Party spent just $5,400 on the campaign for its two candidates, Mehreen Chaudry and Teresa Rossiello. The number of voters was extremely poor, seeing just 13,518 voters cast a ballot out of a registered 161,772 voters, which equates to an extremely low percentage of 8.36%. –With additional reporting by Jess Balzer

Resident dies in house ﬁre One other person remains in hospital afterVictory Street blaze Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

One person died and another remains in hospital after a fire at a Burnaby house with multiple suites in it last week. Emergency crews were called to 4450 Victory St. at about 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 28, according to acting assistant fire Chief

Mark Forsberg. On arrival, he said firefighters found smoke billowing out of almost every window and “heavy fire” coming out of the back of the building. Upon learning there were people still inside, firefighters entered through the flames at the back, according to Forsberg.

“They encountered high heat, virtually zero visibility, and the occupants were found by the rear door,” he said. The two people were “completely unresponsive,” he said, so firefighters initiated CPR and managed to get a pulse on both before handing them over to BC Ambulance. One of the people has

since died, however, and, as of Wednesday morning, the other was still in hospital in stable condition, according to Burnaby RCMP. Forsberg said the house had been broken into multiple suites and there were reports of as many as 11 people in the building at the time of the fire.

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

School policies change on the ﬂy

As the K-12 school year progresses, do not be surprised if we see steady changes in COVID-19 health protocols. We are less than one month into it, and already there have been three major changes from what the plan was at the start of the school year. The first change was how, or even if, to notify parents if a COVID-19 exposure was detected in a school. Dr. Bonnie Henry announced at the start of the year that an exposure case detected in a school would not result in a notification being sent out to all parents in that school.That is what happened last school year, but she said she had been informed that such a practice caused undue “anxiety” amongst parents and staff. Sure enough, it did not take long to scrap this new policy. Just one week into the year, a group of parents of young kids who attend the Victoria Elementary approached me and said their kids and a handful more had suddenly all tested positive for COVID-19. This raised some obvious questions.Were there more cases, and shouldn’t parents be told about them? I brought their concerns to Health Minister Adrian Dix, and what do you know: a schoolwide notification letter was issued and Henry announced the new policy (school-wide notifications would return but would not be sent directly to parents but instead would be posted on the health authority web site). The next change occurred when the mandatory mask-wearing rule was extended to include everyone in school, including kids in kindergarten through Grade 3. The expansion of who had to wear a mask came as data showed the biggest

increase in COVID-19 infections in September has been occurring in children aged five to 11. Not only have they not been vaccinated (they are not eligible yet), but they were not required to wear masks, and the highly transmissible Delta variant of COVID-19 has been ripping through unvaccinated people in this province. The third change has to do with data reporting. Starting mid-month, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control will issue a monthly report not only showing how many cases have been detected in schools, but also how much transmission is occurring in schools rather than, say, home or the general community. I have said since the beginning of the pandemic that, when it comes to health measures, never assume anything is set in stone and are always subject change and evolution. It has been a good rule of thumb to follow. So will there be enhanced cleaning requirements or ventilation improvements? Will teachers and school staff be captured by the mandatory vaccination requirement as part of the terms of employment? Will even students be required to show proof of vaccination to attend school? I rather doubt we will see that measure, but you never know. The good news that will again lead to some changes is that it appears that kids aged five to 11 will likely be deemed eligible for vaccination later this fall or winter.That development will have far greater impact than the wearing of masks, so it will be a welcome one. Change is constant in this pandemic. In schools, it is even more so. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Stronger punishments for feeding wildlife? “It’s not only dangerous to humans but can be detrimental to the animal.”

“But then you’ll need more provincial workers or bylaw officers watching every park to ticket people.”

Cops investigate hockey brawl

After an investigation involving at least 20 witness interviews and the analysis of video evidence, police decided not to lay charges in a hockey brawl at 8Rinks in July.The ruckus began as an on-ice fight at a youth hockey tournament. It continued outside of the rink after two players were ejected. A father of one of the players allegedly tried to intervene. He was outraged at a Province newspaper story that painted him as having joined the fight. He said he had merely pulled his son out of the scrap and had 17 eye witnesses to prove it.

Opinionnow Crash waiting to happen Editor: I am writing with regard to the serious cyclist/car crash which occurred on Sept. 12 at MacPherson and Beresford. The photographs published in the Burnaby NOW suggest the cyclist was travelling westbound on the B.C. Parkway urban trail (multiuse path/MUP). As stated in the article, the motorist was travelling north on MacPherson. There is no stop sign on MacPherson, however there is a clearly marked crosswalk where the parkway crosses MacPherson on the north side of Beresford. A northbound driver entering the intersection has an unobstructed view of pedestrians or cyclists on the parkway who are approaching this crosswalk. A cyclist on the parkway approaching the crosswalk sees “elephant’s feet” along each side of the crosswalk. Crosswalks marked with elephant’s feet are common throughout the Burnaby urban trail system. They indicate a cyclist can cycle through the crosswalk. The City of Vancouver has included elephant’s feet in their street and traffic bylaw. Despite their wide use in Burnaby, they are not included in the City of Burnaby street and traffic bylaw. The Sept. 12 crash occurred despite both the driver and cyclist having clear sightlines to

see each other. Perhaps one, or both of them, was not looking or perhaps they both assumed the other would yield. The driver may not have noticed the elephant’s feet, nor understood their meaning. Many cities in B.C. apply green paint on conflict zones between drivers and cyclists. However, Burnaby seldom uses green paint. The elephant’s feet thus create a false sense of security in cyclists, which puts them at risk when a driver does not look far enough left or right to see a cyclist approaching a crosswalk. This risk particularly applies to inexperienced cyclists, e.g. families with children, who believe multi-use paths are safer than roads. Given the wide use of elephant’s feet crosswalk markings in Burnaby, it is inevitable that similar cyclist/vehicle crashes will occur. Although Burnaby is currently promoting active transportation as an alternative to vehicles, Burnaby intersection designs remain focused on vehicles and pedestrians. There is no significant consideration of the higher speeds of conventional bicycles, let alone E-bikes and scooters. Had the MacPherson/Beresford intersection been assessed with regard to cyclists on the heavily used B.C. Parkway MUP, stop signs could have been added on MacPherson. Duncan Reid, Burnaby

BOAT FOR HOPE:

The COVID-19 pandemic couldn’t stop the fun at Boat for Hope, held Sept. 12 at Burnaby City Hall. The event has been a popular fundraiser for Variety – the Children’s Charity since 1999. When the pandemic meant Variety couldn’t take kids out on the water for a day of fun with swashbuckling pirates, the charity pivoted. Instead, families had a chance to experience a drive-through event, complete with loot bags and refreshments. PHOTO S JENNIFER GAUTHIER

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Vancouver Police Department is keeping mum about a dramatic takedown in Burnaby last week involving flashbangs, police dogs and semi-automatic rifles.

At about 7:40 p.m. on Sept. 27, residents in the area of Halifax Street and Woodway Place say they heard two loud bangs and saw three or four unmarked police vehicles descend on the area. The police vehicles zeroed in on an apartment

building, pinning in a suspect vehicle parked next to it, said oneWoodway Place resident who spoke to the NOW. Amir, who didn’t want his last named published, said he saw police lights, “at least five” officers with rifles and multiple police

dogs. “There was one suspect on the ground,” he said. He said he heard from neighbours that there was a second suspect as well. Vancouver police media relations officer Const.Tania Visintin said the takedown was related to an

It’s about time

I just feel like they have no respect at all “ongoing investigation” VPD is involved in and she couldn’t provide any more information. That didn’t sit well with Amir. “Nothing ever happens in this neighbourhood as

far as I can tell, and then we’re like, ‘OK, is there gang activity in this area?’ I think we have a right to know that.” He said he has witnessed a lot of police activity in Brentwood but often can’t find information about the events in the news or from police. “They clearly don’t think they need to tell anyone what’s going on,” he said. “I just feel like they have no respect at all.”

Drug section raids yield cocaine, ‘ghost gun’ in Burnaby, Vancouver Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Coordinated raids on homes in Burnaby and Vancouver yielded “kilograms” of cocaine, tens of thousands of counterfeit prescription pills and an untraceable “ghost gun” last month, according to police. Officers executed four search warrants simultaneously on Sept. 17 as part of a major, four-month investigation by Burnaby RCMP’s drug section, according to a police news release. Investigators seized “kilograms” of bulk and prepackaged cocaine, the release said. They also seized methamphetamine, MDMA and tens of thousands of counterfeit Xanax, Percocet and Oxycontin pills,

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCTOBER 3-9 2021

Listen and learn: Know what to do when alarm sounds Look, listen and learn. This year, Fire Prevention Week runs from Oct. 3 to 9 and the theme is Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety. Knowing the different sounds smoke and carbon monoxide alarms make and knowing what to do when an alarm sounds will keep you and your family safe. It’s important that when an alarm makes noises – a beeping sound or a chirping sound – you take action. The National Fire Protection Association, which organizes the annual prevention and awareness week, recommends that people take a good look around their home in order to identify potential fire hazards and risks and also listen for the sound of one’s fire alarm while en-

suring the devices are in good working order. What is your alarm telling you? SMOKE ALARMS Ð A continued set of three loud beeps—beep, beep, beep—means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out. Ð A single “chirp” every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed. Ð All smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years. Ð Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced. CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) ALARMS Ð A continuous set of four loud beeps—beep, beep, beep, beep—means carbon monoxide is present in your home. Go outside,

call 9-1-1 and stay out. Ð A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be replaced. Ð CO alarms also have “end of life” sounds that vary by manufacturer. This means it’s time to get a new CO alarm. Ð Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced OTHER ISSUES What if someone in my home is deaf or hard of hearing? There are smoke alarms and devices that alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing.These devices include strobe lights that flash to alert people when the smoke alarm sounds. Pillow or bed shakers designed to work with smoke

Safety check: Your water tank can be a source of CO. GLACIER MEDIA

alarms also can be purchased and installed. Make sure your smoke and CO alarms meet the needs of everyone in your home, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.

SOME TIPS: Ð Install a bedside alert device that responds to the sound of the smoke and CO alarms. Use of a low frequency alarm can also wake a sleeping person with mild to severe hearing loss.

ÐSleep with your mobility device, glasses, and phone close to your bed. Ð Keep pathways like hallways lit with night lights and free from clutter to make sure everyone can get out safely.

Community now How can parents help keep kids safe in school? Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Get vaccinated, and keep your kids home when they’re sick. Those are the two most important things parents can do to help stem the spread of COVID-19 in schools, according to provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. Henry addressed the issue at a briefing on Friday, Oct. 1. Henry appeared

with Education Minister Jennifer Whiteside to announce the extension of the mask mandate to include kindergarten to Grade 3 students. Previously, masks were only required for students in grades 4 to 12 and “encouraged” for younger children. Henry acknowledged parent concerns over school safety have grown in light of the Delta variant and increasing case

numbers among children. “We are thankful that COVID remains mostly a mild disease in children, but we do not want any child to be ill, and we are taking measures to prevent as much illness as we can,” she said. Henry said masks and other measures help prevent not just COVID but a variety of cold and flu viruses. “It remains critically important that we do those

daily health checks and keep children out of the school environment if they are unwell,” she said. “I ask workplaces to continue to be flexible to support parents so that they can get through these next few months as we navigate this phase of our pandemic.” Henry and Whiteside also continued to stress the importance of adults and older children being vaccinated.

I ask workplaces to continue to be ﬂexible “We know the best protection for kids in our schools, especially for those who are too young to receive a vaccine, is for everyone who is eligible to be vaccinated,”White-

side said. Henry agreed vaccination is “the best thing we can do” to keep communities safe. “That protects the young kids; it protects the schools and keeps them open,” she said, calling it an “act of altruism” to get vaccinated. “This is about all of us working together, and schools are an important reflection of how we’re doing as a community working together.”

Community now OPINION

Seek out different perspectives when you’re online Social media algorithms mean we’ll be stuck in an echo chamber, unless we seek out other ideas Tim Shoults contributor

United States Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously wrote in the Washington Post in 1983: “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.” Moynihan died in 2003 – the year before the launch of a little company called Facebook. I try not to read too much into that, but there are days when it’s hard not to. People may not be entitled to their own facts, but thanks to the rise of the interconnected worlds of online search and social media, they certainly have access to their own facts

more than ever before. The algorithms that power search, and especially social media, reinforce our preconceived notions and opinions by showing us content similar to that which we already consume and by connecting us to more people who think the same way. Ironically, that ability to connect people of similar interests is what makes social media such a powerful force for good. But that sense of belonging to a group of like-minded people makes it easier to become attached to our views and the sources than underpin them – and makes it harder for us to change our minds when presented with new infor-

mation. Then, when we do encounter people of different viewpoints, they can sound either hopelessly ignorant or like they’re actively trying to subvert the truth for some malevolent reason – and guess what? You sound the same to them. All that makes civil discourse far more challenging than ever before. Arguing whether two and two make four doesn’t sound hard, but try doing it with someone who doesn’t seem to admit to the concept of addition, let alone the existence of the number two, and thinks you’re trying to foist an evil numerist agenda on them. So what’s the solution?

There isn’t one – not a big overarching one that can be imposed from outside. Rather, there are millions of small solutions – one for each of us. It starts with being aware where the information we consume comes from, and actively seeking to broaden our sources. That doesn’t mean

switching off social media. It’s here to stay – even for community news sources online like the ones I work with, more than a quarter of our audience online comes from social sources. Rather, a simple solution to start is: when you find a piece of information that triggers a strong emotion – anger, surprise, fear

– look for a second source. Putting a few search terms into Google might just show you a different perspective on the same issue. Is that more work? Absolutely. But it’s worth it. Tim Shoults is the operations manager of Aberdeen Publishing.

Citynow Coats for Kids Drive is back

The Rotary Club of Burnaby Metrotown is continuing its annual Coats for Kids drive to ensure all children have warm clothing for the winter. The club has run this project for over 20 years, working with the local school district and community organizations to deliver coats to all children in Burnaby who needs a winter coat. Each year, schools and community service organization requiring coats give the club a list of children needing a coat, with gender and size. “We then set up an appointment to arrive with our ‘coats truck’ so each child can pick out their own coat,” said Carina Tan-Lucero, club president. “The Burnaby Public Library, as well as some local businesses in the past, have served as drop-

off points for donations of gently used coats.” The group has had to change some of its protocols due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The club has not able to collect gently used coats as it doesn’t have any collecting stations for them, so it has had to buy new coats for both last year’s and this year’s campaigns.

Tan-Lucero said that has “put a lot of strain on our club’s finances as we haven’t been able to put on our annual fundraiser for this purpose.” Those who want to help can send donations to Rotary Club of Burnaby Metrotown – Rotary Coats for Kids Project, P.O.

A project to get students at Burnaby’s Kitchener Elementary School outside more often was launched even before COVID drove home how important fresh air is in schools, according to principal Dino Klarich. He says a growing shift in the school’s population was another good reason for it to invest in outdoor education. “Because look what’s coming,” he says, pointing to a cluster of condo towers in nearby Brentwood. In the future, Klarich predicts more of Kitchener’s students will come

from apartments without backyards and it’s important they get a chance to get outdoors at school. “Kids can’t be, as we know, just inside,” he says. “They need other opportunities to be outside.” The school recently unveiled a new outdoor classroom, complete with garden planters, six stone seats and a colourful, 110foot mural. It took the whole 2020/21 school year to complete and was ready in time to greet returning students in September. The forest-themed mural, which features hawks (the school’s mascot) and other woodland creatures, was created in partnership

with the City of Burnaby community arts program and the school’s parent advisory council. “In addition to artists from the city program, more than 350 people contributed their painting skills,” stated a school district news release about the mural. “There was an opportunity for every student from kindergarten to Grade 7 to participate, as well as school and district staff.” Klarich said the project has transformed an “underutilized,” “blah” courtyard into a vibrant, outdoor teaching space, and he hopes to keep adding to it in the future. “This is a starting

point,” he said. “We’re not finished.” The Kitchener project is among a growing number of outdoor classrooms around the district, including at Aubrey, Clinton and Confederation Park. Last fall, 120 local teachers attended a session to learn more about facilitating outdoor learning opportunities, which the district says come with health benefits, stimulate curiosity and creative thinking and foster an appreciation for nature. “Outdoor learning is continuing and will continue,” Klarich said.

When will kids get COVID vaccines? Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

It’s a question that’s on many parents’ minds as they send their children off to school:When will elementary school-aged children in B.C. be eligible for COVID-19 vaccines? The answer? It could be as early as Halloween – but it could also be more like Christmas. “It may be as early as the end of October, is what we’re hearing, but it may

take more time than that,” provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said at a briefing Oct. 1. “I am really hopeful we will have vaccination for the fiveto-11 age group before the end of this calendar year, and hopefully as early as the end of October.” According to Pfizer’s plan, five- to 11-year-olds would receive one-third the dose of the current vaccine. Henry noted it’s also likely to be reformulated

to be fridge-stable, rather than requiring special lowtemperature freezing as it currently does – a change she said would be “great news” for getting it out to children. “That makes it a whole lot easier to distribute,” she said. Canadian Press has reported that Pfizer submitted its preliminary data regarding children aged five to 11 to Health Canada on Friday afternoon (Oct. 1), which was earlier than

expected. Health Canada said it expects the formal filing of the company’s full submission in mid-October. Pfizer and BioNTech said last week that researchers found the vaccine antibody responses in children were just as strong as those found in teenagers and young adults getting regularstrength doses. – with files from Canadian Press

Citynow Doctors are working to empower their patients sultations were virtual –

Davidicus Wong by phone or video; howHEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Thanksgiving holiday prompts us to nurture gratitude – the appreciation of the good in our lives past and present – and it reminds us to think of our neighbours who are in need. On the top of the list, our personal connections. PandemicThanksgivings are all the more poignant. We value our relationships more than ever and miss the social gatherings and physical connections we once took for granted: family celebrations and meals with friends, handshakes and hugs. Some have been even more isolated, including the elderly in long-term care facilities and people living alone in the community. Throughout the pandemic, Burnaby’s Primary Care Networks have coordinated social supports in our community. If you or someone you know is a Burnaby resident and requires some assistance, please connect on their website at burnabypcn.ca/ social-supports/. Family physicians have remained connected with their patients in different ways throughout the pandemic. For a short period of time, almost all con-

ever, family practice clinics are now providing a mixture of phone, video and in person visits. Of course, each clinic must adhere to provincially mandated infection precautions including the wearing of surgical masks by all. Because many patients believe their regular physicians are not available, they may have put off the necessary check-ups to maintain health, including regular screening tests for cancer, diabetes and other important health conditions. Some have let significant symptoms linger longer without seeking medical care. Through the Burnaby Division of Family Practice’s Empowering Patients public health education program, I’ve created handouts, slides and videos to remind our entire community of what screening test are required at different ages and what type of physical symptoms should prompt a visit to your doctor. This information is freely available on the division’s website: divisionbc. ca/burnaby. Look for the links to the Empowering Patients program.

DOCTOR TALK SET On Oct. 21, I’ll be speaking on the PatientDoctor Relationship, pro-

White Swan

viding practical tips on communicating with any health-care provider and collaborating to achieve your personal goals. I’ll also talk about the key information you should ask your doctor or any other health-care provider so that you can make an informed decision and give consent to medical procedures, investigations and medications, including vaccines. For any of these choices, you need accurate information about the potential side effects, common risks and uncommon serious risks, and alternatives to the proposed treatment. Sometimes the decision is straight forward and sometimes, as in the case of COVID-19 vaccinations, complex. As a family physician, I welcome a dialogue with my patients to help them make those personal decisions. To learn more and sign up for this free Zoom workshop, check out the Burnaby Division of Family Practice’s website: divisionsbc.ca/burnaby/ for-patients/empoweringpatients Dr. DavidicusWong is a family physician. His Healthwise Column appears regularly in this paper. For more on achieving your positive potential in health, read his blog at davidicuswong. wordpress.com.

REMEMBRANCES IN MEMORIAM

OBITUARIES McCOY, Roseann Lorraine Roseann Lorraine McCoy (nee Saunders) passed suddenly at home in Vancouver, BC, on September 18th at the age of 71. Roseann is survived by her husband of 49 years Wayne and their son Curtis and daughter in law, Laurie (nee Berg).

Robert Neal Tyldsley March 13, 1946 - October 11, 2020 It seems like yesterday when all was fine, I picked up the phone and we talked on the line. No one knew, in just a few days, We would say farewell and part our ways. We know our loss is heavens gain, But it still feels hard to numb this pain. Thanksgiving Day has come and gone, We were too bereaved to sing a song. But despite this pain, my spirit soares, With the hope we meet on Heaven’s shores. Eternity is in the hands of our Maker, So we lift our eyes to the Righteous Saviour. by Joanne Wood, October 2020 A Celebration of Life is pending for a later date, when Covid restrictions allow. Sadly missed by Darlene, Karen, Brent, Joanne and the Stoker Family.

OBITUARIES

Roseann was born July 7th, 1950, in Saint John, New Brunswick, to Richard and Lorraine Saunders. After graduating from Saint John Vocational School, she married the love of her life in 1972 and moved to Vancouver where she began a 39 year career as a federal Civil servant with Revenue Canada. As a Mom, she took an active role with her son’s baseball league and Beaver, Cub troops, serving as a Beaver Leader for 5 years. She volunteered at Massey Theatre, Bounty Co-op and various PCAC events. Upon retirement, she found Century House in New Westminster, where she enjoyed exercise class and numerous social activities. She was predeceased by her own parents and her husband’s parents, Doris and Buster Whiteneck and Manning McCoy as well as her brother, Douglas Saunders and niece and nephew Kylie and Patrick Aalund. All are welcome to celebrate Roseann’s life on Friday, October 8th, 2021, at Kearney Columbia Bowell Chapel, 219 Sixth Street, New Westminster, at 10:00am visitation, followed by a Memorial Service at 11:00am.
