A 43-year-old man was taken to hospital with a non-life-threatening injury after being shot in Burnaby Monday night.

Officers were called to the area of Randolph Avenue and Kingsway just after 10 p.m. for reports of a possible shooting, according to a Burnaby RCMP news release. By the time police ar-

rived, the suspects, believed to be two men, had already fled the area, according to the release. At the scene, officers located a 43-year-old man who had been shot, police said.

He was taken to hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Investigators believe the victim, who is not cooperating with the investigation, according to police, knows the suspects.

Burnaby RCMP is now asking anyone with information about the incident to contact police at 604646-9999. “We do not believe the public is in any further danger, as this was a tar-

geted incident,” spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in the release. “If you have any information, please contact our investigators.”

Old-growth logging protest ends in arrests Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Three anti-logging protesters were arrested after a demonstration shut down traffic on a Highway 1 off-ramp in Burnaby Monday morning. A group of about a dozen people, including one who reportedly climbed onto the hood of a vehicle that had been forcibly stopped, blocked the westbound Willingdon Avenue off-ramp at around 7:45 a.m., according to a Burnaby RCMP news release. “The closure quickly created a significant traffic backup on Highway 1 during the morning commute,” stated the release. Burnaby RCMP said police gave the protesters a chance to leave the area on their own, but three people, two women and one man, refused and were arrested. The demonstration was cleared by about 8:05 a.m. and traffic flow returned to normal shortly after, according to police. The Burnaby demonstration was one of three protests staged in Burnaby, Nanaimo and Victoria by Save Old Growth, a group calling for the end of all

old-growth logging. The group has promised to block Highway 1 off-ramps every week.

“The frequency and scale of actions will escalate until all old growth logging is stopped,” stated

a news release from the group. “The government has an option to fulfil its election promises that

have over 80% support, or send non-violent people on the motorways to jail. Save Old Growth is de-

termined to keep escalating each week that goes by without government response.”

COURT

COVID-19 postpones trial in shopping mall gun case Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The trial of a 20-yearold Surrey man accused of carrying a loaded handgun near a Burnaby mall has been postponed because of COVID-19. Arunjit Singh Virk has pleaded not guilty to one count of possessing a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm.

The charge relates to an incident near the Metropolis at Metrotown mall on March 28 last year. In a tweet the following day, Metro Vancouver Transit Police said its crime suppression team had interrupted a suspected drug deal at Metrotown on the weekend. The tweet said the suspect, a 19-year-old Surrey

man, had fled but was arrested with help from mall security. Transit police said officers seized a loaded 9mm handgun during the arrest, and “multiple firearm charges” were recommended. Media spokesperson Sgt. Clint Hampton confirmed the suspect referred to in the March tweet was Virk.

Virk was charged on March 29 and entered a not-guilty plea on July 29. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years and a minimum sentence of three years for the first offence. A two-day trial was scheduled to begin last week, but a B.C. provincial court directive aimed at stopping the spread of the highly infectious Omi-

cron variant of COVID-19 announced that all out-ofcustody criminal hearings between Jan. 4 and 7 would be adjourned and rescheduled. Virk is currently out on bail. Lawyers in Virk’s case appeared in Vancouver provincial last Thursday (Jan. 6) to reschedule his trial – and add two extra days.

“I believe (defence lawyer) Mr. (David) Karp believes four days are required for trial, and I think that’s probably appropriate,” Crown prosecutor James Patterson told the court. Virk’s next appearance is now scheduled for Jan. 20 to pick new trial dates, this time for a four-day trial.

CityConnect HOW PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS IMPACT – OR DON’T IMPACT – YOUR PROPERTY TAX

If you own a property in Burnaby, you’ll be receiving your 2022 assessment notice this month from BC Assessment. Many of you will notice your property’s assessed value has increased signiﬁcantly this year.

It is important to understand how assessments affect – and do not affect – the property tax bill will receive from the City of Burnaby later this year. The 2022 assessed values of residential properties in Burnaby went up 13% on average. While the value of your property may have increased, that does not necessarily mean you will pay more in property taxes when your bill is issued later this year. The most important factor in determining how much you will pay in property taxes is not how much your assessed value has changed, but how the assessed value has changed compared to similar properties in Burnaby. This infographic from BC Assessment provides a helpful overview of how it works:

For example, if the assessed value of your home in Burnaby increased by 9%, you may actually see an overall decrease in your property taxes, since your property increased by less than the 13% average assessment increase for residential property in Burnaby. Or if the assessed value of your home went up by 13%, which is the same as the average increase for residential properties, the change to the City’s portion of your property tax bill will reﬂect only the annual budget increase, which this year will be 2.95%.

Robber uses blood-filled syringe

Police were warning North Burnaby residents about a robber threatening victims with a blood-filled syringe. The man robbed a woman in an underground parkade at Hastings Street and MacDonald Avenue, getting away with $70.The suspect made another attempt the following day at a different parkade near Hastings and Ingleton Avenue, but police said the target in that case was a “big, big fellow” and the robber eventually backed off. Nonetheless, police described the syringe-wielding robber as a “very scary individual.”

Feds have been AWOL on protecting our Afghan interpreters

Editor: Re: Afghan vet says Canada failed to protect interpreters, NOW online I spent the first year-and-a-half of my life on a Canadian Air Force base, during the dying days of the Second World War. When I was born, my dad’s only sibling and Anne Frank were still alive. By year’s end, they were both dead. And I grew up wanting to know why. So I read. We were the good guys, right? Then I learned how “we” turned away the MS St. Louis, a Jewish refugee ship in 1939. And in November 2018, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologized for our role in that event. I always understood an apology meant nothing, if one didn’t learn from their mistake. And yet, here we are 75 years on, again looking away. Both my father and uncle enlisted and served in the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Second World War. As a result of their sacrifice and that of hundreds of thousands of other Canadians,

we have all had the privilege of living in a free nation. As we honoured those who served and sacrificed for our freedoms on Nov. 11, I wondered what those Second World War vets would think about a Canada that promised sanctuary to Afghans who helped our military, and then we left them behind. There have been umpteen stories reporting on our national disgrace. Not for lack of credible journalism has the alarm been raised and seemingly ignored. With the exception of Liberal MP Marcus Polowski (Thunder Bay), our government has been AWOL on this file. Are we afraid a bad apple might slip through the net? When has that stopped us? Think Nazis. But we don’t stop doing the right thing because we are afraid we might make a mistake. When did we stop being brave? When did we stop being honourable? Partner organizations of Canadian Veterans, Veterans Transition Network and Aman Lara are working against the clock to save these individuals and their families. Please consider donating to their efforts. C.A. Jackson

Citynow Fireﬁghters’ union releases conﬁdential letter

IAFF Local 323 sent letter to members in a bid to clear president of allegations of bullying former chief

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby firefighters’ union has released a private and confidential letter from the city and two sealed court documents to all its members in a bid to clear its president of allegations he bullied the city’s former fire chief. IAFF Local 323 sent a letter to members on Nov. 10 with the documents attached.The union letter pointed to a September Burnaby NOW article, saying it contained “false and malicious allegations” against union president Jeff Clark. The union said it could “no longer permit the lie to persist” and was therefore releasing a summary of the results of a city investigation into former fire Chief Joe Robertson’s claims Clark had bullied

and harassed him. The City of Burnaby letter summarizing the allegations and findings was marked “Private & Confidential.” According to the letter, Robertson had alleged Clark had blamed him and his predecessor for “all of the ills which had befallen the union and its members when Derek Corrigan was the mayor,” saying Robertson and his predecessor “went along” with Corrigan and “didn’t fight hard enough.” Robertson had also accused Clark of ageism for telling him to retire multiple times and further alleged the union president had deliberately bypassed and isolated him, according to the letter. Finally, the letter says Robertson had alleged Clark and now fire Chief Chris Bowcock had deliberately excluded him from

speaking at a memorial they organized for a longtime Burnaby firefighter who died of an occupation-related cancer. After weighing the evidence gathered during the investigation, the city concluded Clark had not breached its respectful workplace policy, according to the city letter. “In conclusion, based on the findings outlined above, the city finds that the allegations are unfounded, and you did not engage in bullying and harassment of the complainant.” Included in the letter was a paragraph directing Clark to keep its contents confidential. “We remind you that the investigation and the results remain confidential and it is our expectation that you will not advise anyone in the workplace, or otherwise connected

with the workplace, about this investigation and that you will keep confidential all information related to it,” states the letter. The union also released a notice of civil claim filed by Robertson in small claims court and a counterclaim filed by the city. Robertson, who left the Burnaby Fire Department in March 2020 after almost a year on mental health leave, is suing the city in small claims court for WorkSafe money he claims the city has improperly withheld from him. His notice of civil claim includes allegations of bullying against Clark and Bowcock. The city has since launched a counterclaim, denying Robertson’s allegations and countersuing him for breaching “confidentiality obligations” attached to a settlement he signed with the city.

The city has successfully applied to have the court file sealed. It was sealed by a B.C. Supreme Court judge on Oct. 20. Clark “has had to endure undue stress and anxiety” because of Robertson’s allegations and the NOW story, according to the union letter. It says the president has

forgone public appearances in support of the union’s charity work “out of concern that the malicious and false accusations might mar their efforts.” The union said it had sent out the letter and documents to set the record straight. “It may not undue [sic] the harm to our Union and our President that the news story has created, but Local 323 and President Clark have had no choice but to try to clear the air with this notice and the attachments,” the letter states. “It is unfortunate that Joe has taken this misguided step at a time when he should be enjoying his retirement and taking care of his health.” The NOW reached out to the union for comment before publishing the story about Robertson’s small claims suit in September but didn’t get a response.

Speeding driver eludes police after Burnaby foot chase Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mounties didn’t get their man after he blew through a red light going double the speed limit early Monday morning – but it may only be a matter of time. Neighbours in the area

around ErnieWinch Park were awakened just before 1 a.m. by a large police response. About a dozen police vehicles were called to the area at 12:45 a.m. after an officer tried to pull over a Mazda Protege that had driven through a red light going 100 km/h in a 50

km/h zone, according to Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj. He said the officer followed the vehicle on 13th Street across 10th Avenue into NewWestminster, where the vehicle stopped and the driver jumped out and ran off. A foot pursuit ensued,

Kalanj said. About 12 police vehicles eventually responded to the area, including a K9 unit, but officers were unable to find the suspect, who is described as a white man about six feet tall, according to police. “They had the police dog out, the bullhorn go-

ing at one point and kept squawking sirens back and forth for well over an hourand-a-half, could have been longer,” a neighbour told the NOW. Police impounded the Mazda, according to Kalanj. He said the vehicle had not been reported stolen

and the registered owner, a Burnaby resident, will now be answering some questions from police as investigators look into the incident. “Once we find the person and have a discussion, we’ll figure it out for sure,” Kalanj said.

Burnaby residents will soon have another community resource centre available to them. The new centre, expected to open early this year, will be located at 2038 Rosser Ave. It will be named after former councillor Celeste Redman, who served on city council from 1990 to 2005 and was a passionate advocate for social causes.

A community resource centre is a fitting way to remember her.” The city says this is the second resource centre in the area, and both are centrally located.

Community now School district makes plans for ‘functional closures’ Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school district has announced a plan for what it will do at local schools where too many staff are off sick with COVID-19. “There is a possibility that, at some point, schools will have so many staff absent due to illness that there will not be enough to provide instruction and appropriate supervision,” states a notice posted on the district’s website last week (Jan. 7). “If that happens, after consultation with the district, a school may have what’s called a functional closure where, following a day of necessary arrangements, students would learn remotely for a period of time.” Because schools may not know if they have enough staff until the

morning before the school day begins, the district is urging families to check email messages coming from their kids’ schools. Once school starts up again this month, daily staff attendance reports will be assessed by school officials to identify schools with unusually high staff absences, according to Friday’s notice, and the district will work with those schools to determine the impact of the absences. “If the district is unable to fill the positions of staff who are absent, a functional closure of the school may be declared,” states the notice. The school principal will notify parents via email, and a notification about the closure will also be posted on the school’s website. The day after the functional closure is declared will be a transition day

Teacher punished for ‘inappropriate physical contact’ with students Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby educator who “used his position as a teacher to create the opportunity to engage in inappropriate physical contact with female students” has agreed not to re-apply for his teaching licence for nine months. The Burnaby school district reported Alvin Yik-Bun Lau, a teacher at a local high school, to the B.C.Teacher Regulation Branch last January, according to a summary of the case posted by the teacher watchdog last week.The district said that, between September 2017 and June 2018, Lau had asked female students at his school to volunteer, outside of class time, for a research project about athleticism. “During that time he engaged in inappropriate physical contact with

them,” states the summary. Lau took a leave of absence from the district in September 2019 to pursue other employment and then resigned on Jan. 4, 2021. He signed a consent resolution last year, admitting his actions constituted professional misconduct, according to the TRB. He agreed not to re-apply for his teaching licence – which had already been cancelled in November for non-payment of annual fees – for nine months. TRB commissioner Howard Kushner concluded the punishment was appropriate given that “Lau used his position as a teacher to create the opportunity to engage in inappropriate physical contact with female students” and “Lau’s conduct made the students feel very uncomfortable and detrimentally affected their learning environment.”

to allow learning to be moved online. For the duration of the closure, students will then

learn remotely. The school principal will communicate with families about the antici-

pated date of return to inclass instruction. The district said the steps outlined in the no-

tice are “fluid” and “may vary due to evolving circumstances.”

Citynow Pier planned for riverfront Burnaby residents who enjoy a stroll along the Fraser River will be getting access to a new observation lookout that will be built by a local developer. Burnaby director of planning and building Ed Kozak detailed the plans in a report to council. The report says Oxford Properties will be building an “amenity pier” that will connect to the Fraser Foreshore Park that includes a long east-west trail. But the city must first apply for permission and permits from the province – something the developer can’t do, Kozak said. Oxford will pay the entire cost of building the pier and will be responsible for taking care of maintenance in the years to come. “This is a good news story,” said Mayor Mike Hurley. In 2016, council granted

final adoption of a multiphased conceptual master plan and design guidelines, for the Riverbend Business Park owned by Oxford and located at 8211, 8220, 8340 and 8351 Fraser Reach Ct. The plan included a detailed public open space concept centred on the Fraser River, a city staff report noted. “One of the requirements of the Riverbend Business Park master plan … was the construction

and operation of an amenity pier in the Fraser River to connect to and complement the riverfront trail, which is linked to the broader Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park.The water lot in which the identified amenity pier is to be located is owned by the Province, and as such, the approval of a Crown land tenure lease by the province is required in order to construct, operate and maintain the amenity pier.”

Communitynow How can we adapt to the rise of the Omicron variant? you while you are shop-

DavidicusWong ping or in other indoor HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Just when we thought we knew how to cope with the coronavirus, Omicron has changed everything. Our capacity for testing and contact tracing is overwhelmed. But don’t get mad at our local health authorities.This is the case across North America and around the globe. In the past week, the rate of new infections has almost doubled around the world. Omicron – now the dominant variant in B.C. – is a game-changer. With its shorter median incubation time (from exposure to symptoms) of three days, greater capacity to spread from person to person and a most highly contagious period beginning from one or two days before the onset of symptoms, Omicron may soon affect every family. Cloth masks and even surgical masks are no longer sufficient to protect

places. The good news is that the Omicron variant appears to cause less severe illness than Delta, at least in the vaccinated. But don’t call this a mild illness (unless you consider a severe flu-like illness to be mild). The other potential good news is that with this Omicron surge, we may be seeing the beginning of the end of the pandemic. Through the combination of Omicron’s rapid spread and increasing COVID-19 vaccinations (including boosters as close as possible to six months after the second shot), we may achieve population immunity to the coronavirus. So why not allow Omicron to spread at its current pace? Although this variant is almost unavoidable in our daily lives and appears “milder,” the most vulnerable – including the immune compromised, the unvaccinated (including children under five), the

elderly and others more clinically vulnerable may become sick enough for hospitalization. If we allow cases to continue to rise, our ERs and ICUs will be overwhelmed.We will not be able to look after all the patients with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 in addition to the many other critically ill patients who require the same resources. This will have a tsunami effect on the entire healthcare system, affecting all of us, including those who have been awaiting surgery for debilitating painful hip joints, vision limiting cataracts and other elective but necessary surgery. Omicron is affecting every workplace and school. As it spreads, it will put a strain on every business with increasing numbers of employees off work.

We’ve already seen flights cancelled due to illness among the flight crew. We need time to fully vaccinate and give boosters to as many as possible. This is the time not only to consider your goals and resolutions for the New Year but to revise your personal pandemic strategy. 1. Upgrade your face mask to the more effective N95 or KN95. 2. Get your booster shot as soon as you receive your notification. 3. Limit your exposure out of the home. 4. Limit your social circle. Share the air with one person and you’ve just shared the air (and airborne germs) with everyone they’ve met with in the past few days. 5. If you have a scratchy throat, new headache, muscle aches or any of

the other non-specific symptoms of COVID-19, self-isolate the minimum of five days recommended (though seven to 10 days is even safer) and wear an N95 mask when around others at least a full 10 days after symptoms started. In an ideal world, you would be able to access a rapid antigen test after day five before ending self-isolation, but testing sites are not currently able to keep up with the initial diagno-

ses of COVID-19 infections. Use the CDC guidelines for self-monitoring and call your family doctor if you have any questions or concerns. VIRTUAL TALK SET I’ll be giving a free online talk on Keys to Positive Change at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 20, as part of the Burnaby Division of Family Practice’s public health education program.

waste-to-energy facility starting in 2025. “MetroVancouver is committed to being part of the solution in the fight against climate change, and we are thrilled to partner with River District Energy providing cost effec-

tive energy in the pursuit of lower emissions and energy-efficient communities,” said Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, chair of MetroVancouver’s board of directors, in a statement. River District will be the

feet of office and commercial space, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%. “River District Energy has for a decade been supplying affordable, reliable space heat and hot water to the residents of River District.This deal marks the next step in the service we provide to our customers. Almost eliminating our use of natural gas allows the residents and customers we serve to play their part in tackling climate change, while still receiving safe, reliable and affordable heat,” said Malcolm Shield, vice-president of sustainability,Wesgroup Properties. MetroVancouver’s waste-to-energy facility, located on Riverbend Drive in Burnaby, handles about a quarter of the region’s garbage and generates approximately 22 megawatts of electricity – enough to power nearly 16,000 homes – which it sells to

BC Hydro. “The City of Burnaby is excited to see this project advance, and we look forward to capitalizing on this new infrastructure to expand district energy into Burnaby neighbourhoods in the near future,” said MetroVancouver director and Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley. In addition to producing electricity, steam from the facility can also be used to heat water for district energy applications. Detailed project design will begin in early 2022. The first phase of Metro Vancouver construction will involve building an energy centre next to the facility and a pipe system that will deliver hot water to River District. Construction of a community energy centre in River District to receive heat from MetroVancouver and distribute it to the community will begin in 2023.

Entertainmentnow Burnaby Lyric Opera returns to Shadbolt stage Pagliacci, Gianni Schicchi on Feb. 26 to March 5 Rising opera stars will be in the spotlight as Burnaby Lyric Opera returns to live performance. The opera company is bringing its annual production to the stage at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts from Feb. 26 to March 5.This year’s production is a double bill featuring Gianni Schicchi and Pagliacci. Gianni Schicchi, a comic one-act opera by Giacomo Puccini, features baritone Jason Cook as Schicchi, soprano Sodam Lee as Lauretta, and tenor Sergio Augusto as Rinuccio. Pagliacci, a two-act opera by Ruggero Leonca-

vallo, features tenor Scott Rumble as Canio, soprano Chloe Hurst as Nedda, and baritone Scott Brooks as Tonio. The performances continue the company’s tradition of producing one fully staged, costumed opera each year. Burnaby Lyric Opera began in the early 1980s and, by 1997, had evolved into a professional intermediate company with a permanent home at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. The company is a nonprofit society with a vision to give emerging professional and semi-professional opera singers

in B.C. the chance to sing leading roles in fully staged operas. “For all these artists, Burnaby Lyric Opera is the ‘jumping-off’ place between the universities/ music institutions as they move their careers forward toward performing and working in the larger opera houses,” a company press release notes. The company also works to create opportunities for young stage directors, conductors/musical directors, stage managers and designers. Ticket prices are kept at affordable levels ($35 regular; $30 senior/stu-

Pamela and Margaret. Nolan, meanwhile, serves as director of the show, which runs through until Jan. 22. The upcoming run of dates represent Stage 43’s first batch of shows since the 2019/20 season was forced into an early end due to COVID-19. A Stage 43 press release notes the show centres around a “fast-paced tale of an ordinary man on an extraordinarily entertaining adventure.” “A mixture of a Hitchcock masterpiece, a juicy spy novel and a dash of Monty Python, the show

has action, romance, comedy, accents, fake moustaches, real moustaches, missing fingers, and an onstage biplane crash! It is sure to be a memorable ride!” the release reads. Show organizers stress that all cast and crew involved in the production are fully vaccinated and audience members will be asked to provide proof of vaccination and ID before entering the theatre. Everyone entering the facility will be required to wear masks at all times, except when eating, drinking or performing. Show dates and times

include: • Jan. 13 through Jan. 16 (8 p.m. each night) • Jan. 17 (3 p.m.) • Jan. 19 through Jan. 22 (8 p.m. each night) Ticket prices are $25 for adults and $22 for seniors and students. A special two-for-one pricing on single, adult-priced tickets will be offered on Jan. 19 – use the discount code 3939. To purchase tickets, visit www.stage43.org/tickets or call the Evergreen Cultural Centre’s box office at 604-927-6555.

In the spotlight: Burnaby’s Kelsey Robertson is onstage in the Stage 43 production of The 39 Steps. It’s onstage at Evergreen Cultural Centre Jan. 13 through 22. PHOTO COURTESY STAGE 43
