Man arrested in fatal stabbing at mall

One person was stabbed to death Sunday at Burnaby’s biggest shopping mall.

Emergency crews were called at 11:40 a.m. to the parkade near the Metropolis at Metrotown Walmart for reports of a person who had been stabbed.

Once on scene, RCMP officers located a person who had suffered life-threatening injuries outside an elevator in the parkade structure.

Paramedics and Burnaby firefighters performed life-saving measures and the victim was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital, but did not survive.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has taken control of the investigation.

“Around the time of the homicide, there were several reports of other serious offences occurring in the area,” said a news release from IHIT. RCMP had Dow Street in the Metrotown neighbourhood closed off just south of the mall for a couple hours and a secondary

scene was located inside an apartment building in the 6600 block of Dow Street One male suspect is now in custody. IHIT has not released the name of the victim or the suspect, but said the two are known to each other.

“This was not a random incident and with his arrest, there are no further risks to the public,” said a news release.

If you were in the Metrotown area between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Dec. 19, and saw anything suspicious, police are asking you to contact them.

Anyone with information, dash cam video or surveillance video in the area is asked to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448).

This was the second stabbing in Burnaby in just a few days.

On Dec. 15, a 59-yearold man was sent to hospital with stab wounds.

Burnaby starts $9.8M project to light up SkyTrain route The City of Burnaby has started the first phase of its $9.8-million plan to light up the BC Parkway.

The city has started installing accent lighting on SkyTrain guideway pillars to “make the route more lively and inviting for pedestrians and cyclists at any time of day,” said a city news release.

Once complete, a total of 178 guideway pillars will feature new lighting that shifts between colours along the nearly five-kilometre stretch of BC Parkway from Patterson SkyTrain Station to the Edmonds SkyTrain Station.

“BC Parkway is such a vital space in Burnaby and we want to build on that,” said Mayor Mike Hurley, in a statement. “People use

the path to get to work, to shop and to explore our city. By adding new lighting and exploring other projects with our partners, we hope to see BC Parkway become a beautiful, green and even more active corridor in our region – both day and night.”

The project will be completed in phases, with work on the Willingdon Avenue to Metrotown Station section in December 2021.The entire route to Edmonds Station is slated to be completed by early 2023.

The city also said it is working with TransLink to advance projects for new pedestrian lighting along the BC Parkway in Burnaby, which will make the route even safer.

Refugees get treated to shopping trip Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Facing hordes of holiday shoppers at Burnaby’s biggest mall isn’t everybody’s idea of fun, but for one group of refugee women it made for a rare bit of “me time” recently.

Earlier this month, 13 Arabic-speaking women who have come to Canada from Syria, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Lebanon and Iraq, took a trip to the Metropolis at Metrotown mall.

They were given a bit of money and told to spend it on themselves.

The idea was a big hit.

“I was running around the store and I felt like a child again,” said Linda Awad, who is from Lebanon. “What made it more special was being around other women. Feeling of excitement never went away.”

Awad bought herself three packages of socks and a “nice backpack” from Winners.

Hanan Alradif, from Iraq, bought a blouse, pajamas and a “beautiful modern winter shirt.”

“I felt like I’m with my family and sisters,” she said. “Going for lunch afterward, making conversation in Arabic with the ladies, laughing, taking pictures and sharing stories took me back to my childhood in Iraq.”

The women were joined

by Souad Hage-Hassan and Mariam Menhem, two Arabic-speaking settlement workers with the Burnaby school district’s Settlement Workers in Schools (SWIS) program, an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canadafunded program that helps newcomer students and their families settle in the

community.

For program coordinator Natalya Khan, the shopping trip is an example of how the program, with help from schools and support from the community, empowers families and helps them find their feet in their new country.

“Going shopping may seem like a little thing for someone, but it can be huge for a person who is still figuring out how things work in a new country, doesn’t speak the language and has no employment, yet,” she said.

She said that’s especially important for refugee and newcomer women.

“Supporting the mothers supports the entire family,” Khan said. “Each woman lifts up her whole family and is the main caregiver. If they have money to spend, they use it for their children, and

they so rarely do anything for themselves. Before that day at the mall, some had never even been in a clothing store where you could use change rooms to see if you liked something.”

The moms who took part in the shopping trip

have been in Canada for between six months and four years and have kids at Edmonds Community School, Morley Elementary and Windsor Elementary.

They are members of an Arabic women’s group

that meets at Edmonds.

Some of the spending money they got, which worked out to about $100 each, was donated by the Burnaby Children’s Fund.

Khan said she is touched by the support her program continues to get from the community.

“Even in these times, when society is feeling so battered by what’s been happening, people still keep opening their hearts to rally around newcomer families in our schools,” she said. “Organizations, businesses, individuals, and school communities have donated everything from technology and clothing to gift cards and food – including Christmas gifts for the children.The resilience of people’s good spirits is really something else.”

Neighbours angry at daycare

Neighbours who said a house was disruptive weren’t complaining about bikers, punks or squatters – they were complaining about kids at the Kiddie Lane Daycare Centre.The house had been licensed under legal non-conforming use as a daycare since the early 1960s, and neighbours wanted it to stop.The house was for sale and neighbours pushed for the licence to be revoked.The city told 17 area residents who signed a petition there wasn’t much it could do because daycare licensing was a provincial responsibility.

Opinionnow More action needed to prevent overdose deaths in Burnaby as number keeps growing Editor: Re: City having deadly year for overdoses, NOW news With B.C. and Burnaby’s overdose death numbers at a record high, many people are arguing for safe injection sites, decriminalization of illicit drug possession, and a shift in law-enforcement surrounding drugs.

The article “City having deadly year for overdoses” by Jess Balzer calls attention to this need, highlighting the significant increase in overdose deaths in B.C. in the last decade, specifically within Burnaby.

Balzer highlights that as of November 9, there were 58 overdose deaths in Burnaby in 2021, the highest number year-to-date so far in the city.

While the need for safe injection sites cannot be overstated, Burnaby also needs more abstinence-based addiction treatment beds to help people find recovery and lasting freedom from substance abuse.

Treatment facilities like Charlford House Society for Women show addicts that recovery

is possible and have a lasting positive impact on the community for generations to come.

Charlford House was the first women’s addiction treatment centre in B.C. 51 years ago, and is still the only women’s treatment centre in Burnaby.

In B.C., there are still significantly less beds for women at addiction treatment facilities than there are for men.

In B.C.’s approach to the overdose crisis, it is imperative we advocate for an increase in the number of treatment facilities in BC, especially for women, who are underserved in this area.

At Charlford House, we help women recover and reunite with their families and children through our 12-step based programming.

We have been serving the community of Burnaby for 51 years and aim to increase the number of beds available to women in B.C. by expanding from 15 to 24 beds when we build our Forever Home.

To help make this dream a reality, donate to Charlford House: https://www.charlfordhouse. ca/donate.

Students make cards for local seniors Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

“Elves” in the Burnaby school district went into “beast mode” recently to make sure hundreds of local seniors got handcrafted cards, drawings and poems from local kids for the holidays.

Every year, the City of Burnaby’s citizen support services department delivers Christmas baskets and grocery orders to Burnaby seniors.

This year, as part of Operation Elf, the deliveries will include hand-crafted holiday messages created

by Burnaby students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

Operation Elf is a new partnership between citizen support services, the IAK (Intentional Acts of Kindness) Foundation and the Burnaby school

district.

“Operation Elf is a great way to spread holiday cheer, especially for seniors who might not be able to get out and enjoy festive events in Burnaby this season,” Mayor Mike Hurley said in a city news release. “It’s great to see so many Burnaby students show such enthusiasm for the program.”

Operation Elf got help from about 2,000 students at 14 local schools, including Maywood Community School, Brentwood Park Elementary, Lochdale Community School, Windsor Elementary, Taylor Park Elementary, Stoney Creek Community School, South Slope Elementary, Suncrest Elementary, Forest Grove Elementary, Capitol Hill Elementary, Aubrey Elementary, Stride Avenue

Community School, Burnaby Central Secondary and Burnaby North Secondary.

In a social media post with photos of students crafting some of the personalized Christmas cards, Burnaby North social studies teacher Liz Byrne said Operation Elf had gone into “beast mode” at her school to help create 2,400 cards in one week.

School board chair Jen Mezei also had good things to say about the new initiative.

“As trustees, one of the favourite parts of the job is a front-row seat to the impact that schools have on our community and how those connections have been maintained with a little creativity throughout the pandemic,” she said in the release. “Examples, such as this, of the leader-

ship efforts of students to spread kindness and joy to seniors are truly heartwarming.”

Hurley and CUPE 23 union president Bruce Campbell helped city staff deliver the first batch of Operation Elf cards and Christmas baskets on Dec. 9.

The Christmas basket program is sponsored

by Parkland Burnaby Refinery, CUPE Local 23, Keith & Betty Beedie Foundation and Mulberry PARC Residence.

The new initiative builds on the success of the Sunshine Notes program, which started in 2020 as a way to spread cheer to seniors who were isolating due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A 14-acre property inside Burnaby’s proposed Bainbridge urban village has sold for $151 million, the NOW has learned.

Vancouver developer Create Properties confirmed it has purchased the land at 7000 Lougheed, beside the Saputo Dairy plant.

(The Saputo site was sold in 2018 for more than $200 million and the dairy plant is moving to Port Coquitlam.)

The sale of 7000 Lougheed was finalized on Nov. 30, Create confirmed.

It’s the site of an old BCTel/Telus industrial complex demolished in 2015 to allow for an environmental assessment of

the soil and groundwater below the building slabs as a step towards future redevelopment, according to a city report.

It’s not the first time a deal has been made involving the property.

In September 2017, Vancouver developer Polygon Homes Ltd. signed a $175.5-million deal with Telus to buy the land, but that deal collapsed and ended in duelling lawsuits, according to court documents.

Burnaby is in the process of finalizing a Bainbridge urban village community plan, including a mixed-use urban village next to the Sperling-Burnaby Lake SkyTrain Station.

“The plan will establish a vision and policies to guide the creation of the

urban village and shape how this area will redevelop over the mid and long term,” states the city’s website.

The Bainbridge area is located between Brentwood and Lougheed Town centres, north of Burnaby Lake and east of Still Creek.The community is anchored by the Sperling-Burnaby Lake SkyTrain Station next to Lougheed Highway and borders Burnaby Lake Regional Park.

Redevelopment of the former Saputo and Telus sites will add thousands of new residents, commercial and job space to the area.

The school district’s five-year capital plan already includes plans to acquire property for a new school in the area.

Take these steps to be safe for the holidays

Dr. Davidicus Wong

editorial@burnabynow.com

As we prepare for a second pandemic holiday season, with informed planning and precautions, we can still celebrate and connect with friends and loved ones.

As with everything else in life, we have to accept the reality of the present – including all of the known facts, and recognize our choices.Those choices will determine how safe and happy our NewYear will be.

The Omicron variant is overtaking the Delta among new COVID-19

infections across the globe.

Part of the reason is its shorter incubation time (the time from exposure to the onset of symptoms).

With the Omicron variant, you can start showing symptoms within four days.

This new variant can also evade some of the protection provided by full vaccination.

Its initial symptoms are almost identical to a common cold or the flu.We don’t yet know for sure if the Omicron variant will cause severe illness requiring hospitalization.

A lot of us are disappointed that we cannot

THANK YOU FOR RECYCLING THIS NEWSPAPER.

Week Congratulations to

have the big holiday dinners and parties we envisioned, but we are in a better position than we were one year ago when weren’t allowed to gather with anyone outside of our household.

Last Christmas, we dropped off Christmas dinner and presents at my dad’s front door, returning home to open presents together virtually by Zoom.

This year, provincial health orders allow a household to have one other family or 10 other people to share a meal together at home.

Here are seven steps you can take to keep yourself and your loved ones as safe as possible: 1. If you aren’t fully vaccinated, do it now.

The vaccinated are much less likely to get a serious infection and require hospitalization.

2. Get a booster shot if your last vaccination was over six months ago.

Our immunity to all strains of COVID-19

solized and can linger in the air of a room for a period of time (perhaps up to 15 minutes) depending on room ventilation.

Medical surgical masks offer better protection than cloth.They are also more comfortable to wear.

N95 masks offer a much higher level of filtration and are more available and less expensive than a year ago.

Do not wear masks with valves.The valve is one way and spreads your germs around the room as easily as if you were unmasked.Wearing a valved mask sends the message that you care about yourself but no one else in the room.

6. If you feel unwell or feel a cold coming on, stay away from others and get tested.The Omicron variant can present with more subtle symptoms and you can pass it to others who may become seriously ill.

Don’t take that chance with your friends and family.

We all have to be registered on BC’s COVID-19 website in order to receive the invitation to book our boosters.

3. Keep wearing face masks if you are around others indoors. (This includes stores and other businesses, churches and temples, restaurants, movie theatres and homes where others outside of the household are invited.)

4. Continue to sanitize your hands after touching potentially contaminated items and surfaces – before you touch your face.

5. Consider a better quality mask.

The stocking stuffer that shows you care is an N95 mask.

A year ago, we thought COVID-19 was mainly spread through respiratory droplets; hence the two-metre social distancing rule and the wearing of at least cloth masks.

We now know that COVID-19 virus is aero-

TransLink adds braille at bus stops TransLink is installing braille signage at every bus stop throughout the region, as well as tactile walking surface indicators at every bus stop on property that TransLink owns or leases.

Installation has already begun with a goal of being completed by the end of 2022.

“These improvements will help customers who are blind or partially sighted better navigate the transit system by letting them know which stop they are at and which buses they are waiting for,” said a TransLink news release.

“Once installed, TransLink will be the first transit system in Canada to install braille signage across its entire bus system.”

The braille bus stop signs will contain: * Information written in both Unified English Braille and raised tactile letters * Bus stop ID numbers * Bus routes serving that bus stop * Bay or bus stop indicators * Customer Information phone number TransLink has also been expanding real-time text-to-audio next bus technology at bus stops.
