Police seeking tips after senior assaulted near home

A suspect in a brutal Burnaby assault Saturday morning is still on the loose, and police are asking for tips to find him.

Burnaby RCMP officers responded to a report of an assault in the area of Millbrook Lane and Bel-

friar Drive, just west of North Road and south of Lougheed Highway.

Investigators believe a 73-year-old woman left her residence at around 3 a.m. after hearing a noise outside, said police.

While investigating the

noise, police believe the woman was attacked by an unknown man, knocking her to the ground and injuring her.The man fled, and the woman was able to return to her residence where she later sought help from neighbours.

She was taken to hospital and treated for lacerations and other nonlife-threatening injuries, police said.

“The motivation for the attack remains under investigation and Burnaby RCMP investigators

are continuing to canvass the neighbourhood for witnesses and video surveillance evidence,” said a news release. “At this time, police are unable to provide a description of the suspect.”

Police are asking anyone

who may have witnessed this incident or potentially have dash-cam or security video in the area of Millbrook Lane and Belfriar Drive between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604646-9999.

Southeast needs more child care: Gu Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The creation of 61 new child-care spaces in North Burnaby got one step closer this week with the approval of more than $2 million in funding by city council, but one councillor raised concerns about a lack of spaces in the city’s southeast.

At a meeting Tuesday, council released $664,000 for the construction of 24 new infant/toddler spaces at the new Burnaby North Secondary School.

Those spots are in addition to 79 spaces currently run by the Puddle Splashers Childcare Society at the Burnaby school district’s old Duthie-Union Elementary School property on Frances Street.

The Puddle Splashers program is scheduled to move into the new Burnaby North building after the Duthie-Union property is sold.

City council also earmarked $1,429,864 to help pay for 37 new childcare spaces planned for Brentwood Park Elementary School as part of that

school’s seismic upgrade.

The total estimated cost of the Brentwood project is $2,909,864, so a report by planning director Ed Kozak also recommended council authorize staff to apply for provincial New Spaces funding to help pay for it.

Both projects mentioned in the report are part of an agreement the city signed with the school district in 2014 to increase child care in the city, according to

the report.

Under the agreement, the school district was to supply the land and the city was to pay for the placement of modular buildings to house the daycares.

To date, 247 spaces at seven sites throughout the city have been built or are under construction because of the agreement, the report said.

But Coun. Alison Gu raised concerns about how

the facilities are being prioritized, pointing to data in the report that indicates Burnaby’s southeast quadrant has the lowest or second-lowest number of child-care spaces per 100 children in the city.

Gu noted neighbourhoods in the southeast, such as Edmonds, have a “significant socioeconomic status difference within the rest of Burnaby.”

“I’m wondering how we’re going to close the

gap of the access for child care in the southeast quadrant of our city moving forward,” she said.

Kozak said the city, as per its recently adopted Child Care Action Plan, looks for opportunities with partners, such as working with the school district on school-based projects and encouraging developers to make child care part of their applications.

He said the city is also looking to “remove barriers from our bylaw that enable for child care in a wider range of contexts,” something he said would benefit places like Edmonds and Kingsway most.

“At the end of the day, we’re going to have to work with our partners on new opportunities, so we’ll continue to work with School District 41 and look for opportunities in areas where there are needs most, but we’ll have to focus on the other strategies in the absence of those opportunities,” Kozak said.

Council approves new bylaw on smoking, vaping

The City of Burnaby has a tougher smoking regulation bylaw set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2022.

Burnaby council has approved a bylaw that will mean tougher restrictions on smoking cigarettes, tobacco, cannabis, e-cigarettes and vape products in public parks, city-owned or controlled outdoor public spaces, and certain business premises.

The penalties for violating the smoking bylaw will range from $200 to $500.

“Smoking is a significant public health threat linked to more than two dozen diseases and health conditions, including various cancers, heart diseases and respiratory issues,” says a city news release. “The Burnaby smoking regula-

tion bylaw is the result of the city’s commitment to protecting the public from the harmful effects of second-hand smoking.”

The new bylaw will restrict smoking in the following public spaces and business premises: PUBLIC SPACES: Ð Lands and facilities owned or leased by the city and intended for public or civic use, except for designated smoking areas. Ð All city parks and multiuse paths. Ð Bicycle lanes, boulevards, crosswalks, sidewalks, walkways, rights of way and other public spaces or passageways located next to a city park or commercial, institutional or other property where the public regularly gather

(e.g. schools, places of worship). Ð Within six metres of any transit facility, including transit stations, bus stops, shelters, benches, poles and signage.

BUSINESS PREMISES: Ð Any enclosed or substantially enclosed area of a business premises that is a workplace or open to the public. Ð Partially enclosed or unenclosed customer service areas where food or beverages are served on-site (e.g. patios, balconies and terraces).

EXCEPTIONS ARE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING CASES: Ð Aboriginal ceremonial use Ð Smoking during a movie production, theatrical or

other artistic performance, with the prior permission of the city. Ð Smoking of hookah, except tobacco and cannabis, in business prem-

ises that existed and had a valid business licence before the smoking bylaw was adopted (these businesses are listed in the bylaw).

More local residents are getting their second dose of the vaccine Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

Another Burnaby quadrant has hit the 90% mark for two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

According to the B.C. COVID-19 Surveillance Dashboard, Northeast Burnaby has joined Northwest Burnaby as the only quadrants to hit the mark to date as of Oct. 28.

Northwest Burnaby reached the rate as of Oct. 18.

While COVID-19 caseloads continue to sit at high levels and vaccination numbers are slowing, Dr. Bonnie Henry announced on Oct. 29 that the provincial mask mandate was being extended until further notice.

After removing a provincial health order on July 1 that required mandatory masking in all indoor public spaces, provincial health officer Henry was forced to re-implement the measure on Aug. 24 as cases began to surge.

In August, Henry announced it would be in place until Oct. 31.

The provincial health officer said on Friday that the health order was being extended to “continue to slow the transmission of COVID-19.”

“The requirement to wear masks in indoor public spaces is being extended during this time of higher transmission of COVID-19 in communities.

“This important layer of protection will help make all of us safer, along with practising hand hygiene regularly, staying away if sick and, most importantly, getting fully vaccinated.”

PROTECTING BURNABY RESIDENTS WITH FULL EMERGENCY POWER The City of Burnaby is taking action to protect Burnaby residents in the event of an emergency or widespread power outage by installing two emergency power generators – one at the Bonsor Recreation Complex and one at the Edmonds Community Centre.

The generators will provide full emergency power to the facilities, including running hot water in washrooms and showers, ensuring

Burnaby residents have a place to access services during extended outages and emergencies. Work is now underway to install the generators, with the project expected to be complete in 2022.

New recreation facilities in the northwest and northeast of Burnaby are currently in the planning stages.

Emergency generators will be included as part of these projects.

The City of Burnaby has recently completed a culvert replacement project along Guichon Creek as part of the City’s ongoing work to restore safe passage for fish, improve habitat and enhance our local waterways.

The project involved replacing an 80-metre culvert beneath Deer Lake Parkway. The aging pipe was worn, narrow and steep, preventing fish from reaching upstream spawning grounds.

The old pipe was replaced with a concrete box culvert and a gravel stream bed to allow fish to pass easily. The City is now planting native grasses, shrubs and trees on the stream banks, which will reduce erosion and filter runoff, keeping the water clean.

A significant section of the Guichon Creek runs through the BC Institute of Technology’s Burnaby campus. The City worked with BCIT on this project, and supported BCIT’s restoration work on other sections of the creek over the years.

Salmon returned to spawn again in 2012 Guichon Creek flows into Still Creek, Burnaby Lake and Brunette River before finally discharging into the Fraser River. In 2012, chum salmon returned to Guichon Creek for the first time in nearly 80 years, and have been seen almost every year since.

NOTICE OF DISPOSITION AND INTENT TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TAKE NOTICE THAT the City of Burnaby intends to grant a statutory right of way (the “SRW”) to BC Hydro over a 18.7 m2 portion of City-owned property as shown on Plan EPP110942 and legally described as PID: 009-474-021, Lot “C”, DL 122, Gp 1, NWD, Plan 11161, in consideration for $1.00 and to provide assistance to BC Hydro by granting such SRW for less than market value. The estimated market value for the SRW is $6,000.

NOTICE OF PROCEDURE BYLAW AMENDMENT TAKE NOTICE THAT the City Council proposes to amend the Burnaby Procedure Bylaw 2004, Bylaw No. 11714 pursuant to Section 124(3) of the Community Charter.

Citynow Councillor urges staff to speed up fire hall timeline Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby city council has authorized $1 million for a feasibility study and phase 1 design for a new fire hall on Burnaby Mountain at SFU. The need for a fire hall at Simon Fraser University was identified in a Burnaby Fire Department needs assessment study published at the beginning of 2020, according to a report to council last week from the city’s financial management committee.

“The study identified that response coverage to Burnaby Mountain is inadequate and poses a risk for the community on Burnaby Mountain,” states the report. “Additionally, the widely varied land uses on the mountain, which includes insti-

Seniors 65+ living with lung conditions (asthma/COPD, history of stroke or heart conditions, diabetes, obesity or kidney disease) – or living with someone who has these conditions--are at higher risk of complications from the flu and should talk to their pharmacist about which flu vaccine is right for them.

The GOOD NEWS: There are plenty of free standard doses for everyone in the province so although it may not be as effective as the High Dose, it is better than not getting an influenza shot.

The provinces of Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, and PEI and Yukon Territory all have public programs that provide FREE High Dose Flu Vaccine which is recommended by NACI for seniors 65+. Why doesn’t BC have a public program that supports our most vulnerable seniors who are still living at home?

In 2010, the city’s finance and civic development committee recommended council authorize staff to update the 2002 plan, which included calls for an SFU fire hall, and move it forward, but council voted to send that recommendation back to the committee, from whence it did not reappear.

Opinion now

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Will climate plan get any attention?

Will the BC NDP government’s just-released climate action plan – dubbed “Roadmap to 2030” – gain much attention at the COP26 gathering in Glasgow?

B.C. has one of the most detailed plans to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and even further reductions in years after that.

Things like raising the carbon tax, building more transit, increasing the use of zero-emission vehicles, reduction targets for methane and oil and gas emissions, and stricter rules for large industrial development are key parts of B.C.’s plan.

The plan has the backing of some environmental groups and climate scientists, but it has also been scorned by others for not going even further.

Critics want the oil and gas sector cut off at the knees – effective immediately.The fact that the B.C. government supports the LNG industry and industrial practices such as fracking is outrageous to them.

Yet the NDP’s position on fighting climate change reflects the needs of any government to balance taking action to curb greenhouse emissions with growing the economy.

Many other world governments and leaders will be among the 20,000 or so people expected to gather in Glasgow for 12 days and nights of meetings, reception, politics and protests. I suspect most (if not all) of them will similarly take the position that their economic self-interest remains a top priority, even while tackling a complex task such as fighting climate change.

Still, it is encouraging so many governments (and business executives and Hollywood celebrities) are getting together to focus on the most pressing issue of our time.

Framed against that ambitious gathering is the fact the big emitters like China, India, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Australia remain steadfast in their plans to essentially keep doing what they are doing.

And many of these countries sing from a completely different song sheet when it comes to cutting emissions. For example, while 38 gigawatts of coal plants were closed last year in the U.S. and Europe, China is about to open 39 gigawatts of new plants.

It all adds up to a maddeningly frustrating exercise that will likely result in no consensus being reached in Glasgow.

But that doesn’t mean governments of various stripes can’t make some progress on their own.

B.C. Environment Minister George Heyman is heading a small government delegation in Glasgow, and I would not be surprised if he meets up at some point with Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, who ran for the presidential nomination on the climate change issue and who will also be in Glasgow.

Inslee advocates working with other governments beyond a federal-federal partnership. Might we see some kind of joint B.C.-Washington state partnership down the road when it comes to fighting climate change?

The various action plans and road maps lay out markers and targets that are off in the distance, as in years away. And more often than not the targets are often not met, thus making them less and less credible over time, at least in the eyes of some.

Yet the need for them has never been more important. Let’s see how B.C.’s plan fares in Scotland.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Topic: Do pedestrians need to be more visible?

“Time to make reflective clothing fashionable. Lots of different fun ways to do this”

Trustees fight for AIDS info

The Burnaby school board called on the provincial government to release a controversial AIDS advertisement that Social Credit Premier Bill Vander Zalm had characterized as a “60-second condom ad.”The ad dealt with a number of sexually transmitted infections, and trustee Carol Jones, a public health nurse, said it was irresponsible of the province to withhold the health information. She moved a motion to condemn the decision.The motion was approved, and the board sent it to the B.C. School Trustees Association.

Opinionnow Gondola is the answer Editor: In Burnaby, we are faced with a community-level decision that could have a big and positive impact on the wider community. After years of analysis and consideration, decisionmakers will soon weigh in on whether to build the Burnaby Mountain gondola. For those new to the discussion, the Burnaby Mountain gondola is a long-term fix to SFU’s persistent transit challenges.

The gondola, similar to those used for mass transit in cities around the world, would provide fast, frequent and reliable service between SkyTrain and Burnaby Mountain for the 25,000 daily trips made by SFU students and the wider community.

SFU students, as you can imagine, are very excited about the proposal. A gondola will have a huge impact on our quality of life. If you have ever used transit to travel to SFU, you will know why. The diesel buses that lumber their way up Burnaby Mountain from the Production Way SkyTrain station are on one of the worst performing transit routes in the Lower Mainland.

They’re overcrowded, they’re unreliable, and, when it snows, they often leave passengers stranded in the wet and cold.

Replacing the diesel buses with electric buses will not solve the issue of over-crowdedness and reliability, now or ever – as the

community grows, more people will continue to drive rather than transit. By cutting travel times and greatly improving reliability and service, the Burnaby Mountain gondola will make getting a university education just a little easier for thousands upon thousands of students who travel long distances between school, home and work.

Before the pandemic hit and our campus emptied, SFU students were actively engaged in a campaign to build support for the gondola.

We held open houses, met with local councillors and provincial MLAs, gathered signatures of support, forged alliances with community and business organizations and lobbied TransLink.

We found strong support from organizations like the Vancouver and Burnaby Boards of Trade, trade unions, environmental groups, locally owned small businesses and non-profits.

Indeed, TransLink surveyed more than 20,000 people and found an overwhelming 84% of respondents supported the project.

Now that SFU has reopened, the case for the Burnaby Mountain gondola looks even stronger than before. We know the post-pandemic economy is going to require even stronger access to a post-secondary education.

The Burnaby Mountain gondola will help facilitate SFU’s growth long into the future.

Citynow School sports return after lost pandemic season Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

To understand what it means for school sports to start up again this fall, you have to understand the gaping hole COVID-19 left when they were cancelled.

Take just one team at one Burnaby school – the senior boys basketball team at Byrne Creek Community School.

Before the pandemic wiped out the 2020/21 season, the Bulldogs were more than just a basketball team, according to coach Bal Dhillon, who is also the school’s community school coordinator.

“It’s something the school and the community celebrates,” he says, “and it also gives us an identity for the school.”

Dhillon recalls one time when the team returned to the school at lunch after winning a big game at a tournament in the Langley Events Centre.The game had been played live on a big screen in the atrium, and the atrium erupted in applause when the boys walked in.

‘A BEAUTIFUL THING’ With a signature playing style that Dhillon describes as “blue-collar,” he says the team embodies the school and the diverse community that surrounds it.

“We’re willing to work

harder than other teams,” he says, “and we’re willing to do the small things on the floor that maybe the other teams and other players don’t want to do, like dive for a loose ball, put your body on the line, things like that. And I think that’s a beautiful thing.”

Dhillon says another reason the team has become a kind of rallying point for the school is that it’s “an experience of excellence.”

“When you can have that, it is a special thing, and it’s a special thing that goes beyond the team. It’s for the whole community,” Dhillon says.

For players, the team also starts to feel like family, according to Dhillon, and the sport “challenges them in every way,” teaching them to lead and follow and perform under pressure and show compassion to teammates and competitors.

“These are huge things, and, really, I would argue that’s the sole purpose of high school sport, to increase empathy and compassion,” Dhillon says.

With a big group of Grade 11s, the team missed the provincial championships by one game in 2019/20.

It was poised to start 2020/21 stacked with experienced returning players – players who’d put their hearts and souls into

the program since Grade 8.

Then COVID hit.

‘DEVASTATED’ Dhillon says he could see the writing on the wall when spring sports were cancelled in 2020, but he was still “devastated” when it became official that all school sports were being cancelled for the new school year.

When it sank in for the players, he says there was surprisingly little anger but “a lot of sadness, a lot of disappointment and a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness.”

The loss of school sports “definitely affected the atmosphere of the school,” Dhillon says.

And for some of his players, there’s no sugarcoating that the loss of the season damaged future prospects.

“We probably had one or two guys that could have played college basketball, and they just didn’t get that opportunity,” Dhillon says. “I think they also lost a passion for it.

When you can’t play in a game and you can only train by yourself, you’ve really got to love it to do that, and those type of players are very rare.”

RESTART Getting school sports back up and running has been a big undertaking.

“It takes such a mas-

sive team to run the athletic program, from the athletic directors, the administration, staff coaches, our community coaches, to our student leaders,” Burnaby North Secondary athletic director Jennifer Oatway says. “And to have everybody working so hard together to restart this – collaborating across the district about what’s working in your school, how we can all help each other and get as many kids back being a part of their school program – has been pretty incredible.”

Currently underway in the district are volleyball, rugby, field hockey, soccer and cross country.

Oatway, who is also

the senior girls basketball coach at North and the president of the Burnaby NewWestminster Schools Athletic Association, notes Grade 9 students have never had a chance to play a high school sport.

“That’s pretty incredible even to think that their whole Grade 8 year they didn’t know what this was about,” she says. “They didn’t know what it was like to be a part of this culture.”

‘WE’LL FIND OUT’ For Dhillon, there’s no substitute for school sports. He says club teams bring a lot of value, but there are barriers to participation, and school sports

are just special.

“The high school sport represents its community because the high school’s in this neighbourhood,” he says.

Basketball officially kicks off this month, but Dhillon had already met with players earlier in the fall and held some open gym sessions.

His players are “very excited to play,” he says, but the season is bound to be an unpredictable one.

Dhillon notes most of his players, who are now in Grade 11, haven’t played on a school team since Grade 9, so there’s no knowing where the team will end up.

“We’ll find out,” he says.

Community now Man sentenced for violent crimes in Burnaby

35-year-old man, the subject of a Canada-wide manhunt last year, sentenced to 7.5 years in prison

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 35-year-old man who was the subject of a Canada-wide manhunt in 2020 has been sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison for a list of violent crimes in Burnaby, including sexual assault, assault causing bodily harm and unlawful confinement.

In February 2020, Burnaby RCMP put out a

call for help locating Jack Lincoln Kelley, saying he was wanted on two Canada-wide warrants and one B.C. warrant.

Local police had already been looking for Kelley for a month before the press release.

Under court-imposed conditions at the time, police said Kelley had been banned from dating or having any intimate relationship with any woman

unless a bail supervisor had first informed her of his court-ordered conditions.

Burnaby Mounties caught up with Kelley in White Rock in July 2020 and charged him with a litany of violent crimes, including sexual assault, assault causing bodily harm, unlawful confinement, uttering threats, criminal harassment and attempting to obstruct justice.

Planning for Future Needs: Proposed Sale of Former School Site The Burnaby School District has determined that the site of the old Duthie-Union Elementary School, located at 7231 Frances Street, is surplus to current and future educational needs.

As part of our long-range planning, the Burnaby Board of Education is considering selling it to the francophone school district – the Conseil Scolaire Francophone de la ColombieBritannique – so the proceeds can support other capital needs.

Trustees are holding an information meeting as part of the consultation process.

VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING Tuesday, November 9 at 6:30 pm Two ways to connect: Attend the meeting online Email the District your feedback Email engagement@burnabyschools.ca to share your questions, provide feedback and/or to receive a link to attend the meeting.

Kelley pleaded not guilty, but he was convicted in May on 17 charges after an eight-day trial in Vancouver provincial court, according to the court registry.

He was sentenced on Oct. 18.

A police news release on Nov. 1 said the investigation was led by Burnaby RCMP’s domestic violence unit, investigative support team and serious

crimes unit but got assistance from “almost every other section in the detachment.”

“We cannot undo the harm this man has caused, but we can and will always strive for justice and community safety,” Insp. Matt Toews said in the release.

“After months of investigation, coordination and painstaking effort, we’ve reached a successful conclusion and I commend

everyone involved. I hope this result will bring some comfort to the victim in this case.”

Burnaby RCMP are encouraging anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault to contact police.

Have you seen this dinosaur?

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police are investigating the disappearance of a five-foot-something, 80-pound Fiberglas dinosaur from a North Burnaby yard recently.

The replica velociraptortype reptile vanished from a backyard in the 3700 block of Cambridge Street during a spell of rainy weather late last month, according to owner John Anderson.

“We didn’t notice it right away,” he said, “The weather’s been so crappy, we really haven’t been going out in the yard.”

Because of the size and weight of the dinosaur, Anderson suspects it was a two-person job and the culprits likely had a truck.

The dinosaur has an interesting backstory, pos-

sibly dating back to Expo 86.

Anderson’s understanding is that it had been in the Alberta pavilion.

When Expo wrapped up, the dinosaur had reportedly been sold to a car dealership on Marine Drive that set it up on the roof.When that dealership was demolished, a member of the wrecking crew had brought the dinosaur home, according to Anderson, but his landlord wouldn’t let him display it on his roof, so he set it on the boulevard with a sign – ‘Need a good home, don’t eat much.’

“We were just driving by, and there he was,” Anderson said.

That was nearly 20 years ago, he said.

Anderson hopes the family gets its dinosaur back.

Community now Skate park to be named in honour of city councillor NickVolkow, who died of a brain tumour in 2020, was a driving force behind getting the park built The City of Burnaby has found a special way to honour the legacy of beloved city councillor Nick Volkow, who died in 2020 after a long battle with a brain tumour.

The city is going to name the Metro Skate Park at Bonsor in the Metrotown area after Volkow, crediting the politician for his work getting the skateboarding park

built in 2004.

“Mr.Volkow grew up in a working family, and was employed as a truck driver,” reads a city staff report. “He worked tirelessly to build a better community for residents of all ages and lifestyles, accessible for families of all income levels. He advocated ardently for many of the city’s facilities, green spaces and events.”

The report saidVolkow’s work also led to the following: development of city trails, including the CentralValley Greenway; restoration of Burnaby Lake; and the annual Burnaby

Blues and Roots Festival.

Volkow served for eight terms on Burnaby council.

In 2016,Volkow was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, or GBM, the most common and ag-

gressive type of malignant brain tumour.

This is one of several civic facilities named after people, including the Christine Sinclair Community Centre, the Rose-

mary Brown Arena, the Alan H. Emmott Centre, DrummondWalk, Randall Pool, Lawson Creek, George McLean Park and, most recently, Lewarne Park.

It’s about time

you enjoyed new friendships.

Legacy: The city will honour the memory of longtime councillor Nick Volkow by renaming the Metro Skate Park after him. PHOTO

REMEMBRANCE DAY Remembrance Day ceremonies staying small

Members of the public can pay respect at cenotaphs, but ceremonies are being restricted due to COVID

Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

Remembrance Day ceremonies in Burnaby will once again adapt to smaller ceremonies due to COVID-19.

South Burnaby Branch 83 and North Burnaby Branch 148 have both planned smaller events as COVID-19 cases remain extremely high in B.C. SOUTH BURNABY #83 A small ceremony will be held at the South Burnaby cenotaph in Bonsor Park and will include the Legion’s colour guard and a bagpiper.

The Legion says there are restrictions for attendance.The area will

be taped off, but there is room outside of the taped area for the public to pay respects to veterans.

Residents are allowed to attend with a small group that will allow for social distancing. Masks are mandatory.

The event will start at 10:45 a.m. and finish around 11:15 a.m.

A followup reception will be held at the Legion (5289 Grimmer St.).

The public is also allowed to attend.

COVID-19 protocols will be followed.

NORTH BURNABY #148 Due to COVID-19, there will be no parade, no official ceremony at the cenotaph and no post-re-

ception.

A small wreath-laying will take place at the cenotaph performed by Legion branch executive to honor fallen soldiers and veterans.

The public is allowed to pay their respects at the cenotaph while following COVID-19 protocols and avoiding large gatherings.

A national Remembrance Day ceremony will be available on the Royal Canadian Legion National Headquarters Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ CanadianLegion).

The virtual ceremony will start at roughly 10:45 a.m. with two minutes of silence at 11 a.m.

REMEMBRANCE DAY Amputee veterans banded together to help others Martine Lepine contributor

Of the thousands of Canadian soldiers who were wounded while serving in the First and Second World Wars, many returned home missing limbs. United by a common bond of amputation, these veterans not only served their country during wartime, but they made a difference in the lives of generations of amputees that continues today.

In 1916, on the battlefields atYpres in Northern Belgium, Sidney Lambert (1887 to 1971), a lieutenant colonel and army padre, lost his left leg above the knee.

While recovering at a hospital in Toronto, Lambert conceived of the idea

of a national association to bring together, support and fight the battles for amputee veterans, today known as the War Amps.

In 1920, he became the first dominion president of the association and worked tirelessly to bring veterans issues before the government.

It was these First World War amputee veterans, like Lambert, who welcomed the new contingent of amputee veterans following the Second World War, helping them adapt to their new reality and sharing all that they had learned.

One of these was Neil Conner (1918 to 2012), who served as a navigator with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was injured when his plane was shot down near Bremen,

Germany, resulting in the loss of his right leg below the knee.

Another was Bert Coulson (1921 to 1979) who served with the Canadian Army and lost both of his legs below the knee due to injuries sustained while serving in Emmerich, Germany.

Along with their fellow War Amps members, these veterans went on to provide support to civilian amputees. Coulson said the best way to help was to “roll up my pant leg and show them we can dance, bowl, hold down a normal job. It’s what you have left that counts.”

The War Amps veteran members established the Key Tag Service, which is still going strong today, to fund the association’s many vital programs for

A message from the Burnaby Teachers’ Association

amputees across Canada.

Rob Larman, a director at the War Amps and a leg amputee himself, said Lambert, Conner and Coulson proved that they would not let their amputation hold them back in

all aspects of life.

“Though they considered themselves to be ‘ordinary guys,’ our founding veteran members have left a legacy for generations of amputees that has gone on for 100 years and count-

ing,” said Larman. “On Remembrance Day especially, but also throughout the year, we pay tribute to their sacrifice and service.”

Community now COVID-19 IN SCHOOLS

Mandatory vaccine debate goes behind closed doors NewWestminster and Surrey have said no to staff vaccine mandates, but Burnaby has yet to decide Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Whatever discussions the Burnaby school board has about making vaccines mandatory for school staff will happen behind closed doors, according to chair Jen Mezei.

“This is a labour relations issue, and therefore all discussions will be taking place in camera,” she said in a report at a public meeting last week (Oct. 26).

Mezei was updating the board on ongoing discussions about vaccine mandates for teachers and other school staff.

The province has left the decision of whether or not to make vaccines mandatory for staff up to

individual boards, but it released a framework to guide trustees in the decision-making process on Oct. 22.

Mezei said school board chairs and superintendents in the Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal Health regions also met with public health officials for a consultation on Oct. 19.

Mezei’s report provided no information about what had been discussed at that meeting, saying only that the board will “continue to approach this highly complex process in a careful and thoughtful manner.”

SURREY, NEW WEST REJECT MANDATE Meanwhile, the New

Westminster and Surrey school boards have rejected vaccine mandates.

The New West board released a report about the input it got from health officials on Oct. 19.

One key takeaway from that report is that students, not staff “primarily drive in-school transmission.”

The report said the pros of a vaccine mandate include a potential increase in vaccine coverage in schools. It also noted educators are role models and fully vaccinated staff aren’t required to isolate, allowing people to continue working.

But the effectiveness of mandatory vaccines for reducing transmission “may be limited” in areas that

already have high vaccination coverage, the report said, and a vaccine mandate may exacerbate inequities and further entrench those opposed to the vaccine.

“A mandate is one of the most intrusive/intensive interventions,” stated the report. “Other less restrictive measures may be possible.”

‘I DON’T THINK THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS LEFT’ At a meeting of the Burnaby school board’s committee of the whole last month, trustee Ryan Stewart had sounded a more confident tone.

“I don’t think there are many questions left in people’s minds about the

effectiveness of vaccines mandatory staff vaccinafor preventing spread of tions.” the virus,” he said. “With Stewart said he didn’t the hundreds of millions, if want to “pre-judge any not billions of doses of the outcome” of that report vaccine given, we know it’s but added the board had probably one of “obligations as a the most tested district as an emvaccines ever deployer to ensure veloped, so queswe’re protecting tions around the health and safety are becomsafety and proing resolved … viding a safe ocWe know the role cupational enviit plays in preronment for all venting spread staff.” of the virus; we The staff reknow the risks to Ryan Stewart port requested school trustee students, many of by the committee whom are preswill be presented ently unvaccinated.” behind closed doors, acThe committee directed cording to the district, and school district staff to reit will be up to the board port back to the board afto determine how much is ter reviewing “informamade public. tion received pertaining to

Citynow Youngest children have been hit hard by pandemic in unseen ways Davidicus Wong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

From the start of the pandemic, we’ve recognized the most vulnerable have been hit the hardest – the elderly, the socially isolated and those struggling with homelessness and poverty.

Though mRNA vaccines are likely to be approved for children from five to 12, preschool children are not likely to be vaccinated in the near future.

Though they have been less affected by the disease itself, young children, particularly those not yet in school, have silently suffered from the loss of socialization and early childhood education programs.

The effects of the pandemic on early childhood development have received little attention in the news but those effects can be devastating and long lasting.

Healthy early childhood development requires much more than a healthy diet, plenty of sleep and physical exercise. From birth to age five, young children learn to regulate their emotions, interact appropriately with others in and out of the home and set the foundations for learning, including lan-

guage skills.

Parents play the most important role in fostering healthy development with daily activities together include reading, singing children’s songs, playing games and learning numbers and letters.

But parents have been stressed as well. Although the pandemic has brought many families closer together with more shared meals and free time together, stress and anxiety levels have been at an alltime high, with many parents struggling to make ends meet while providing child care alone.

Parents with their first child may not be familiar with normal social and emotional development in the preschool years.They may bring their infants in to see their family physician for regular checkups or shots in the first two years of life but not realize the importance of annual growth and developmental checks during the toddler years.

This has been a special challenge during the first year of the pandemic when in person visits were limited.

Throughout the pandemic, many young children have missed out on the normally available community programs that support social and emotional development and

Citynow ALL-NEW ONLINE CHOICES

River activist publishes book The Little Creek That Could tells the story of Guichon Creek

This is a big time of year for Burnaby’s Mark Angelo.

For one, the salmon are now spawning in creeks and streams around the city – always a big highlight for a man who helped save salmon in Burnaby.

Angelo is the founder and chair of both B.C. Rivers Day andWorld Rivers Day, an event now embraced by millions of people in up to 100 countries. In 2009, Angelo was also appointed as the inaugural chair of the Rivers Institute at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, where he also ran the school’s fish and wildlife program. He is also a member of the Order of Canada.

Angelo has spent decades trying to restore fish habitat in Burnaby. Now,

he’s published an illustrated children’s book entitled The Little Creek that Could, the story of a stream that came back to life.

The book tells the true story of a five-decade-long effort to restore Burnaby’s own Guichon Creek – and the story speaks to the fact that nature can heal itself, if only given a chance.

Angelo, as a young teacher, led the charge alongside students, teachers, and community members to restore a small urban creek – demonstrating to readers how the power of one can impact change.

“I’m excited about releasing a book aimed at children that tells a fascinating and inspirational story of events that transpired right here in our own community, and, while the book focuses

on just one of our local streams, I believe its key message about healing and restoring the environment is universal in nature and will hopefully resonate with many, regardless of where they might live,” said Angelo.

The book is illustrated

by RosWebb and comes in premium hardcover, paperback and eBook formats. It can be found through Chapters-Indigo, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and more.

In the book, after discovering that a stream close to his school is polluted and lifeless, the teacher meets an elderly gentleman who explains how beautiful the creek once was and is inspired to return the creek to its original state.With the help of the community, including students and

teachers, a major effort is launched to clean up the creek.

For Guichon, efforts have successfully led salmon back to it. During the past three months, the City of Burnaby started a project to add a new culvert on the creek that allows fish to pass through it.

OBITUARIES RADATZKE, Isbel (Peggy) Married 74 years, passed away at RCH. Born August 25, 1927 and passed September 27, 2021.

Leaving husband Irvin and son Bruce and two grandchildren Alexandra and Flint. No service.

If you live with and care for a person living with dementia, we invite you and the person you care for to participate in this nursing study. We are particularly interested in hearing from men/maleidentifying caregivers and members of the LGBTQ2SAI+ community.

PEDERSEN, May Eva (nee Blanden) December 31, 1922 − October 14, 2021 With heavy hearts that we announce the passing, in her 99th year, of our beloved mother, mother−in −law, grandmother, great−grandmother, aunt, and friend, May Pedersen, a long−time resident of Burnaby.

She was born on New Year’s Eve of 1922 in Mayfair, SK, to Arthur and May Blanden. At the age of 15, her family moved to New Westminster, BC, where she later met her devoted husband of 68 years, Karl M Pedersen. May bravely endured the challenges of being a World War II army wife and began raising their firstborn while Karl was away.

May’s kind, generous and gentle nature had her loved by all who knew her. She adored her family and welcomed everyone with open arms. She was always willing to listen without judgement and was a valued resource in all aspects of child−rearing.

She enjoyed bowling, bingo, gardening and family gatherings.

Missing her dearly, she leaves behind her sons, Lyle (Karen), Brian (Kim); and daughter, Debbie (Al) Rourke; her grandchildren, Jessica, Amy, Shawn, Jenny, Jodi, Clayton and spouses; seven great− grandchildren, in−laws, many nieces, nephews, and friends.

On the other side, she joins her husband, Karl; parents, Arthur and May; sister, Lil Gallagher; brother, Art; dear friend, Nellie; and many other family and friends.

There will be no service at this time. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.

VINK, Annette Ruth It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved mother, Annette Ruth Vink.

Born in Neerlandia, Alberta in 1937. Annette passed away peacefully in the early hours of October 26, 2021. Predeceased by her husband of 54 yrs, Frank , Brothers Joseph and Stewart & son in-law Harvey. Loving mother to Kathleen, Tim and Mark, as well as grandmother to Turner, Anni, Kirsten and Zach. Mom dedicated her time to helping others in need, particularly through the Orphan Aid Thrift Store along with Dad. She and Dad also enjoyed singing in their choir. Mom had unique sense of humour that only some understood and she always wanted to make people laugh. Her deep love and commitment to the Lord and her selfless, and caring demeanour guarantees her place in Heaven. “Mom, you are with Dad now.” You missed him so much these last 10 months and you are now together with the Lord, as you should be.

She will be missed by all her many friends. Special thanks to the staff and nurses at Elim Village Emerald for taking care of her. The graveside service is scheduled for November 4, 2021 at 11:00 a.m., and will be available to view online at www.legacystreaming.com/dignity-port-coquitlam/
