Burnaby drivers caught in tow truck event Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Police and tow truck drivers teamed up in Burnaby last week to remind drivers to slow down and pull over when they see a tow truck with flashing lights on beside the road. BCAA set up a tow truck with its flashing lights activated and a vehicle attached to it beside Lougheed Highway by Kingsland Drive. Members of Burnaby RCMP’s traffic section were stationed a short distance away and pulled over drivers who failed to slow down. “It’s a simple message here today,” Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Mike Kalanj said. “If you see flashing red, blue or yellow lights on the roadway, slow down and, if you can move over, do so. If a $173 fine isn’t enough motivation, then think about the worker that’s behind that flashing light who wants to get home to
their family at the end of the day.” Chris Bernaerts, who’s been a tow truck driver with BCAA for four years, said he’s had a passing vehicle get so close its side mirror has brushed his arm, and some of his coworkers have actually been clipped by passing vehicles. Bernaerts said drivers already have to contend with a lot of safety considerations just to operate their trucks, and having to keep one eye on traffic is almost too much to handle. “We need the cooperation of the public to meet us half way and make sure that we can all get home safely at the end of the day,” he said. Police pulled over 20 drivers in total Thursday, according to Kalanj. All got warnings, he said, except one new driver who failed to slow down and pull over for the tow truck and then failed to stop for police.The driver was also ticketed for not displaying an N.

City gets first cannabis store as new shop opens Jess Balzer
jfedigan@burnabynow.com
A new cannabis shop opened up this week in Burnaby – the city’s first. BC Cannabis Stores announced the doors to its new store located on Kingsway Avenue in Burnaby opened on Wednesday. The store will be operational from 10 a.m. to 9
p.m. from Monday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday and most statutory holidays. The store will sell products that include edibles, extracts, dried cannabis flower, oils, capsules, prerolls and topicals. The BC Liquor Distribution Branch says the store is 4,432 square feet and is currently planned to be staffed by seven full-
time employees, as well as 12 auxiliary employees. “This is the third store to open in Metro Vancouver after Port Coquitlam and New Westminster that opened last year,” said the LDB’s Kevin Satterefield in an announcement. “Our cannabis consultants undergo extensive training and are eager to guide customers to a purchase that meets their
needs while reinforcing the values of responsible use and safety. “We look forward to serving our customers in the community of Burnaby.” Burnaby’s regulations allow one government store in each of the city’s four town centres: Metrotown, Edmonds, Lougheed and Brentwood.
In June of 2020, city council approved two new commercial zones that would allow government-run pot shops, but have made space for private stores. Mayor Mike Hurley, also in June of 2020, told the NOW the city is open to hearing from interested private store operators. As COVID-19 restrictions remain in place, the
LDB says they will be complying with orders and guidelines issued by provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, including the mandate of masks being worn in public indoor spaces. The store is located at Unit 1-4429 Kingsway and will be the 31st government run-store in the province.

A former under-20 national team andVancouverWhitecaps player from Burnaby applauded the CanadianWomen’s National soccer team on the weekend for using its platform to demand an independent investigation of her old coach.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
People risking jobs over vaccinations
There are more than 400,000 unvaccinated eligible people in B.C. and most of them are slowly discovering the consequences of their inaction when it comes to not being immunized from COVID-19. They cannot go to restaurants for a meal, travel by plane or train, or attend many sporting and cultural events. Many of them, however, are going to discover they face an even more serious consequence for refusing the vaccine: the loss of their jobs. Vaccination mandates are expanding in scope and number, and they will cover thousands of people. This week, more than 5,000 health-care workers were expected to be placed on unpaid leave because they have yet to receive a single dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by the Oct. 26 deadline. Already more than 1,700 long-term care staff – including almost 400 nurses – have been placed on leave because of their non-vaccinated status. It is puzzling why so many people with scientific training have refused the vaccine. In long-term care, the refusal rate is the same for both nurses and food service employees. To estimate how many other employees in other sectors with looming vaccination mandates may soon be out of a job, it is useful to look at the numbers in both the healthcare sector and the longterm care sector. The vaccination rates among employees in both sectors is around 96% (although only 93% in the Interior). On the one hand, that is an impressively high figure but on the other, it also translates into literally thousands and thousands of unvaccinated staff potentially losing employment. For example, there are
roughly 130,000 employees in B.C.’s health-care sector.This includes all medical staff, support staff and administration. So while an unvaccinated rate of just 4% seems small, when it is applied to such a large pool of people, it can produce a big number. Hence, the 5,000-plus health-care workers placed on unpaid leave. If that 4% unvaccinated rate turns out to be the average in other sectors, that works out to roughly 1,200 B.C. government employees losing their jobs on Nov. 22, when their mandate takes effect and about 240 Vancouver civic workers suffering the same fate on Dec. 6. Of course, these numbers will be much smaller if enough people covered by these mandates come to their senses and get a vaccine that has been proven safe and effective for billions of people around the world. In addition, it is reasonable to think that many unvaccinated people, when faced with the harsh reality that accompanies the loss of a paying job and financial benefits, will do just that. Perhaps the federal government’s announcement that these folks will not qualify for unemployment insurance will cause some to reconsider. We can only hope so. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see how many school districts impose their own vaccine mandates on teachers and other school workers. If the 4% average for unvaccinated staff that we’ve seen in health care is mirrored in the K-12 sector, hundreds of teachers could be added to the “on leave” crowd. The consequences for refusing the vaccine are getting harsher. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.
Topic: Should TransLink build a gondola to SFU? “The gondola sounds like a good idea. I suspect the university will still close when the road becomes too difficult.”
“What about safety? Say you are on the gondola with only a couple people - and the people are scary, with bad intentions? Stuck on the gondola until the landing. Ugh.”

Tank farm smelly for residents
Residents of the Forest Grove subdivision demanded action from council over what they described as unacceptable odours emanating from the adjacent Shell tank farm. In a letter, they said they were considering legal action if relief from the ongoing problem wasn’t forthcoming from the municipality. Pollution control officers had told the residents there were no health hazards associated with the bad smells, but they said the long-term health risks posed by the emissions were not known.

Opinionnow We need to transition from fossil fuels now Editor: I keep hearing Big Oil executives and their friends in Ottawa talk about a transition off of fossil fuels taking decades and decades. Sure, it’s true we’re not going to shut off the oil taps tomorrow, but this kind of delayed transition is dangerous. In fact, you could call it a new form of climate denial. When Big Oil first learned about climate change, they invented climate denial to try and slow down political action. Now that climate change is widely accepted, they’re arguing that we need a slow transition for the same reason, to protect their profits. Big Oil executives aren’t interested in protecting workers and communities; they’re interested in protecting their pocketbooks. That’s why we need big, bold “just transition” policies that listen to climate science, guarantee good union jobs and put people first. This fall, Justin Trudeau has a chance to do just that, but to do it right, he needs to tune out the self-interested fossil fuel executives and lobbyists and listen to the people instead. We need a just transition that works for everyone, not one that helps wealthy fossil fuel executives get even richer. June Blue, Burnaby

A day interrupted Editor: My wife and I were having a peaceful paddle on Burnaby Lake with fishers on the dock at this beautiful wildlife sanctuary when our peace was interrupted by an extremely loud remote-controlled speed boat. We have already gotten the runaround between Burnaby parks and Metro Vancouver parks. It should be clear that these activities are prohibited. These obnoxious boats have no place on a lake that is for paddlers, fishers and wildlife. John Pringle, Burnaby Editor’s note: Burnaby Lake is run by Metro Vancouver, which is responsible for signage and enforcement.
SkyTrain lighting is not a priority to me
Editor: Re: Burnaby eyes spending $9.8M on ‘accent lighting’ for SkyTrain line Burnaby must have solved all of the city’s problems by now if they want mood lighting along the SkyTrain, at roughly $10M cost. I’m surprised that the city’s self-proclaimed “progressive” council members would be in favour of this waste of money and resources. Robin Wong, Burnaby

Citynow RCMP wage increase will cost Burnaby an extra $4M Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A collective agreement signed between the RCMP and the federal government will cost the City of Burnaby a projected $4 million extra for its police force next year. That’s the equivalent of a 1.39% tax hike, according to a report from the city’s public safety director, Dave Critchley. Under a somewhat convoluted setup, the province has an agreement with the federal government that allows it to sub-contract the RCMP provincial force to municipalities, including Burnaby. Burnaby signed its current 20-year contract with the province in April 2012 – but a collective agreement ratified between the National Police Federation and the Government of Canada in August will soon make that agreement a whole lot costlier, according to Critchley’s re-
port. Under its policing contract, the city pays 90% and the federal government pays 10%. As a direct result of the collective agreement, Critchley says the city’s cost per cop will jump by nearly $14,000 – and the final impact could be even bigger. “The true impact of the agreement on benefits is not known at this time, and to date, the city has not received any direct communication regarding the specific amounts of the retroactive payments,” states the report. “In addition, there will be unknown salary increases for the rank of inspector and above, which have yet to be determined however are anticipated to be resolved in the coming months.” The city has set aside money since 2017 in anticipation of a salary increase “based on information provided by the RCMP,” according to Critchley,
but he says the funds have fallen “well short of the increases now contained in the ratified agreement.” “During the negotiations which commenced in 2019, no local governments were at the bargaining table or consulted,” states the report. “Due to the lack of consultation or engagement in the bargaining process, local governments were completely unable to appropriately plan for the significant increases above the 2.5% as was directed by the RCMP.” The RCMP signed its first-ever collective agreement after two years of bargaining. Until a Supreme of Canada ruling in 2015, the force had been legally prevented from unionizing. RCMP members certified the National Police Federation as their union in 2019.

Citynow New top cop named for city Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
The City of Burnaby officially has a new top cop – but it’s a familiar face. After a nationwide search, the city tapped the man who’s been leading the Burnaby RCMP since February, when former Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh retired. Chief Supt. Graham de la Gorgendiere joined the detachment in January 2019, stepping into the role of operations officer, according to a city news release. He began his RCMP career in 1997 in Mission and has spent all of it in the Lower Mainland, including stints with the SouthWest District major crimes unit and the Upper FraserValley Regional Detachment. He has also worked as

Communitynow School district set to sell ‘surplus’ site for $24M Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
The Burnaby school district is in the process of finalizing a $24-million deal to sell one of its “surplus” school properties to B.C.’s French language school board. In its long-range facility plan, the school board identified the 5.75-acre Duthie-Union Elementary School property at 7231 Frances St. as “surplus to the district’s educational needs,” according to a re-
port to the school board. Staff was directed to engage in negotiations with Conseil Scolaire Francophone de la Colombie-Britannique to sell the property, the report says. Under the purchase and sale agreement, the closing date will be Dec. 31 and CSF will take possession on July 31, 2022 – or earlier if the building is vacated. The property currently houses a daycare run by the Puddle Splashers Childcare Society.

$24-million price tag was deemed by the board’s committee of the whole to be “fair market value for the land when used for educational purposes.” Because the property is being sold to another board for educational purposes, the deal doesn’t need the provincial education minister’s stamp of approval, according to the report. For community consultation, staff recommended the board pass first and second reading of the by-

Citynow School district suing architect over building renovation project Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
ALL-NEW ONLINE CHOICES
The Burnaby school district is suing the architect it hired to turn an empty school into an adult education centre and child-care facility. The district is seeking damages fromVancouver firm Dimas Craveiro Architect AIBC for breach of contract, negligence, negligent misrepresentation and failure of duty to warn, according to a notice of civil claim filed inVancouver Supreme Court last month.
The lawsuit stems from a multimillion-dollar renovation project at the old Marian High School site at 7650 Sapperton Ave. in East Burnaby. In October 2019, the district released a comprehensive plan to get more child care into Burnaby schools. At the Marian building – which had formerly been leased to an independent Christian school – the district outlined a plan to create 91 new child-care spaces. They also outlined a plan to house an adult ed-
ucation program in the building for people training to become early childhood educators – who could get hands-on experience at the on-site childcare centre. The district estimated the costs for the renovations would be nearly $2.6 million, and the new centre could be “up and running” by summer 2020, according to the report. The district had already signed a contract with Craveiro in June 2019 for “architect and consulting services” on the project, according to the district’s

notice of civil claim. The district alleges the firm was responsible for hiring all the necessary sub-consultants, including structural and civil engineers; acting as lead consultant; and – along with their sub-consultants – certifying the work and completion of the project. Under the terms of the contract, Craveiro was to have gotten the project done by summer 2020, according to the district’s claim. But the district claims the firm breached the contract.

Celebrating Seniors
When should seniors stop driving? It’s not easy Margaret Coates
contributor
One of the determinants of health for seniors is good transportation. Essentially, transportation is crucial for seniors who wish to stay active, independent and involved in their communities. Decent transportation must be accessible and easy to use. According to speakers at a public forum on seniors and driving held this fall by the United Way of BC, the main forms of transportation for seniors 65 and older are driving, public transit, taxis or other accessible transit, and walking or biking. They also say that 78% of seniors in that age range have a driver’s licence, while the percentage for
younger people who have licences is falling. There are arguments for ceasing to drive for most of us, including protecting the environment and encouraging a healthier lifestyle. For seniors it may also involve age-related or medical reasons. As you get older, your vision, reflexes, and hearing may change, and these changes can make it harder for you to drive safely. In the HealthLinkBC report Healthy Aging: Is it time to stop driving?, provincial health authorities say there is no set time for people to stop driving, but seniors might want to consider that “people aged 70 and older are more likely to crash than any other age group besides drivers aged 25 and younger.
And because older drivers are more fragile, they are more likely to get hurt or die from these crashes.” At age 80 in British Columbia, seniors are sent a letter telling them that they must undergo a drivers medical examination or give up their licence. Aside from the fact that the exam costs a senior anywhere from $75 to $217 (not covered by B.C.’s Medical Services Plan), what makes age 80 the magic number for testing? Drawing an age line in the sand seems discriminatory. I personally have found some 80-year-old drivers quite good, while there are a few 50-year-olds I would not let drive me around the block. Continued on page 21
Stay safe: Deciding when a senior should stop driving is a serious decision. Are you having more fender benders? Do you get lost easily? If so, it may be time to talk it over. PHOTO PAUL MCGRATH/

When is it time to hang up the keys? What to consider
Continued from page 19 On the bright side, however, according to RoadSafetyBC, they send about 70,000 examination reports a year and 98% of the seniors evaluated keep their driving privileges. Nevertheless, for the 2% that don’t, that loss of a licence can result in a loss of independence, feelings of stress and anxiety, and inevitably leads to major lifestyle adjustments. But what if it is time to “hang up the keys”? The HealthLinkBC publication suggests taking stock of your driving by considering these signs: Do other drivers often honk at you? Are you having car crashes, even if they are only fender benders? Are you having trouble staying in your lane? Do you get lost, even on roads you know? Other considerations might be that you get more tickets than you used to, you notice more
dents in your car, and you are having trouble with hearing or vision. Nighttime driving can be especially difficult if you have issues with glare. You could modify your driving behaviour if you have minor to moderate issues with driving.To stay safe, perhaps avoid driving at night, on the freeway or in bad weather. Plan to drive on streets you know.Take roads that let you avoid risky spots such as ramps and left turns. Maybe begin to intersperse using alternative means of transportation, including walking, biking, taxis, and ride hailing, asking a family member or friend for a ride, community transportation and public transport. Unfortunately, some of these alternatives might pose some difficulties for seniors. Public transit can be difficult if a senior has a form of cognitive delay or mobility issues. As
well, there are areas that lack bus service or there is a lack of covered benches. And need I mention the hilly terrain – that makes it hard to move about if you are a senior with limited mobility. Although municipalities are urging walkability, it is sometimes a problem getting around. Seniors may find there is not enough covered seating at regular intervals and there is a shortage of accessible washrooms. Also, seniors may have trouble navigating around sandwich boards, outdoor patios, skateboarders and bikes on sidewalks. Often, amenities such as shopping, medical facilities, seniors’ organizations, libraries and recreation centres are not within walking distance of someone’s home. Building more town centres might be a solution to that issue. In the last few years, the community has stepped
Save money on HandyDART HandyDART customers can now benefit from agebased discounts and contactless payment through Compass Cards and Tap to Pay, said TransLink in a news release. Through the introduction of Compass, HandyDART customers will now

up to deal with seniors issues around transportation by providing bus and shuttle services, although with COVID that service has been reduced. But check with your nearest seniors centre or organiza-
tion that provides services to seniors, and they might be able to provide a ride for you. Hanging up the keys for good is a serious decision. But getting around safely is crucial.

Given the burden of influenza disease on seniors & the benefits of vaccination, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommends the Quadrivalent High Dose Influenza Vaccine for those seniors 65+. Ask your pharmacist for the High Dose Flu shot for better protection against the flu this year, especially if you have a weakened immune system from such things as lung conditions (asthma/COPD), history of stroke or heart conditions, diabetes, obesity, kidney disease.

The Poppy Residences: Good Food, Good Friends, Good Fun, In the Heart of Burnaby What makes the Poppy Residences so special is its small, intimate setting, where everyone gets a chance to know their neighbours Nestled in the heart of Burnaby is the place Doris Drinkwater calls home. For the last eight years, Doris has enjoyed life at The Poppy Residences, an intimate community designed for self-sufficient seniors who value their independence. Located on Grimmer Street, just steps from a number of major amenities such as Metropolis at Metrotown, medical services and grocery stores, The Poppy has helped Doris, as well as many other seniors, enjoy retirement with confidence. “It’s very central. I can go anywhere from there. It’s very convenient, ” says Doris, 87. “I like the freedom I have here. I feel at home - this is my home. You won’t find anything better. I wouldn’t live anywhere else.” The Poppy, a non-profit run by the South Burnaby branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, has 70 private and affordable one-bedroom and one-bedroom plus den units for seniors over the age of 55. Residents enjoy two delicious and balanced meals in an elegant dining room with full table service. Light housekeeping and around-the-clock on-site staff support are also provided. There is also a TV and theatre area, a fireside lounge, and a library and games room. In addition, residents can keep busy and socialize with friends by taking part in a variety of fun, organized activities and events, such as carpet bowling, art classes and day trips. The Poppy has made it even easier for seniors to live independently by introducing Independence Matters, a program that will provide optional home support services such as taking residents to appointments and medication reminders. Donna Lawrence, general manager of The Poppy, explains that what makes it special is its small, intimate setting, where everyone gets a chance to know their neighbours. “I think of it as a community within a community,” Lawrence says. “You know when you go to a smaller town, and everyone gets to know everyone, that’s kind of the feeling at The Poppy.” And residents agree. Rob Landau moved into The Poppy four years ago from an apartment in Burnaby. While there were other seniors residences he was considering, Landau ultimately chose to call The Poppy home because it allowed him to maintain his independence and remain social. “I took a tour three or four years ago, and I decided if I ever needed a place to live, this would be it,” Landau says. “The Poppy seemed ideal for me, and it still is to this day. We’re kept busy with different activities. I like the people here. I really like it here.” Shirley Crockett has lived at The Poppy for the last five years, after selling her home in Burnaby. Not only does she like keeping busy with numerous activities, she also appreciates how thoughtful, attentive and helpful the staff are. “I like the staff,” Crockett says. “They treat you very respectfully.” For Donna Lawrence, her philosophy is simple: treat each and every resident the way she would want her own family members to be treated. “I really love coming in, seeing our residents and talking with them about how their day is going,” Lawrence says. “It’s really about offering exceptional service and going above and beyond. It’s so important for them to know that it doesn’t matter what they’re needing, we’re going to try and look after it as best we can. It’s a really great, comfortable home-like experience.”

Citynow Lawsuit filed over work on old Marian High School site Continued from page 18 It outlines a number of allegations, including that Craveiro prepared “inadequate” designs and specifications; that its initial design and specifications resulted in the renovated Marian building being out of compliance with the applicable version of the BC Building Code; that the firm delayed the project by not proceeding with “reasonable dispatch,” that it didn’t apply for a building permit from the city before the start of construction; that it didn’t provide “timely, proper, adequate or sufficiently detailed contract administration for the construction project”; and that it didn’t get the job done on time. Construction on the project started “in accor-
dance with the direction and plans and design and specifications given and/or prepared” by the architect, according to the district’s claim, but the city later shut down the project after it determined it needed a building permit that hadn’t been applied for. The district says that resulted in “delay and extra costs.” “After a substantial delay during which the defendants’ plans, designs and specifications had to be revised so as to allow a building permit to be obtained from the City of Burnaby, a building permit was obtained and construction was resumed in July 2021,” states the claim. Because of the architect’s alleged negligence
and breach of contract, the district claims it has “suffered and continues to suffer damages,” including the costs of consultants, project delays, added costs of completing the project because of having to carry out work on a “time and materials” basis rather than being able to tender the work competitively, and loss of rental and other income from the Marian building. Craveiro has not yet filed a response to the district’s claims, and none of the district’s allegations has been proven in court. The Marian building is currently surrounded by blue construction fencing and renovations appear to be ongoing.

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.

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
Question: Do I have hearing loss?
Q
Is Invisalign (Clear Aligners) for me?
Yes, we do buy sterling silverware but not plated.
A
People with hearing loss sometimes say: “Could you repeat that please?” or “I hear but I can’t make out the words” or “Stop mumbling”. Sometimes family members comment the television volume is too high. Sometimes the person with hearing loss no longer enjoys dining out, visiting friends, going to meetings. Parties, movies, or religious services because it‘s a real struggle to listen to the person speaking, it’s exhausting! The earlier signs and symptoms of hearing loss are very common and often do indicate hearing loss. However, the easiest way to find out if you have hearing loss is to simply make an appointment with a hearing healthcare professional. Your hearing is a Priceless Gift. Don’t take it for Granted. Call today for a free hearing evaluation.
A
Braces have been the traditional mode of orthodontic treatment for a long time. However, with the invention of clear aligners, many patients are able to straighten their teeth with this more esthetically pleasing option. Invisalign involves a series of trays made from a thin plastic material formed using computer technology. Tooth movement is possible by placing clear buttons on teeth surfaces and by switching to a new set of trays every 1-2 weeks. Having excellent compliance in wearing the trays is key. These clear trays have provided many positive outcomes and with the proper examination of each patient, they can be very successful. In many instances, adult patients who have had traditional braces as teenagers and are experiencing relapse, (minor crowding in front teeth), can be great candidates for Invisalign. Talk to your dentist today to see if Invisalign is right for you!
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. 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. 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. Jim Richardson Coins and Stamps Specialist

I’m 85 years old and I have a daughter who has a hard time managing her finances and I often give her money to help her out. I am worried that when I am gone she will spend all of the money I leave her quickly and then have nothing left for her future. A simple solution would be to set up a lifetime annuity on her behalf. You could sit down with your daughter and find out how much money she needs to live each month. You could then get a quote based on her age and the assets you plan to leave for her to find out how much regular monthly cashflow you could have coming in for her on your behalf each month. This is also a nice monthly reminder that you cared about her well being enough to make sure there is money available to help pay her bills for a lifetime. Make sure that you do some tax planning as well at this time so that your estate has enough to pay your final taxes and that your daughter would also have access to a smaller sum of money to help with emergencies.
Q
How do I know if I should buy earthquake coverage?
Q
A
We get asked this question by many customers with earthquake premiums increasing each year.
A
We don’t recommend purchasing earthquake coverage for those with older type homes with the future idea of building a new home on the same lot. Oftentimes, clients will have the idea of building a larger home than what is currently on the property. If you have a newer type home or have no desire to ever build again, we price out the earthquake and deductible options for customers and let them decide. Usually, we recommend to purchase earthquake coverage for building only and no earthquake coverage for personal property. This method drops your premium and also reduces your deductible in the event of an earthquake.

Who made the LIST?
Burnaby woman wins $70-million jackpot Christine Lauzon admits to being “a little nervous” about the idea of being B.C.’s newest multimillionaire. “It’s a big change, really,” she said, in what may just be the understatement of the year – given that she just became the biggest lottery winner ever in the history of B.C. On Oct. 21, Lauzon claimed her $70-million jackpot from the Sept. 28 Lotto Max draw. Lauzon selected her numbers with Quick Pick and purchased her ticket – along with a pack of peanuts – at the Shoppers Drug Mart on Hastings Street. “I just thought, ‘Why not buy a ticket?’” Lauzon said, in a BCLC press release. “I have definitely

dreamed about it, but I never thought it would actually happen.” Once Lauzon realized she’d won, after checking her ticket at home using the BCLC Lotto app, she shared the news with her roommate and her father. “They were both so surprised and excited,” she said. “My dad … couldn’t keep a straight face.” Lauzon admits the experience has been surreal and says she plans to “let it settle a bit” before mak-
ing any big decisions. She’ll contact her financial advisor first and then, she says, she’ll give some of the prize to her immediate family. She says she has a lot of causes that are close to her heart and will take some time before choosing how to make an impact. “I feel nervous and excited all in one,” she said. “I can’t fully wrap my head around it all right now. I am so excited for what is to come.”
