Three women get jail time for TMX protest Jeremy Hainsworth

editorial@burnabynow.com

Three women have gone to jail for 14 days after pleading guilty to criminal contempt of court for breaching a court injunction aimed at preventing disruption of work at the Burnaby Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project (TMX).

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick told Catherine Hembling, 79, Janette McIntosh, 58, and Ruth Walmsley, 61, that protests are part of a healthy democracy. However, criminal conduct — such as violating court injunctions — is not, she said.

“All were law-abiding citizens and felt compelled to act in a manner that is unacceptable in society,” Fitzpatrick said.

The judge said they had been part of an organized group aiming at getting its way.

“That is unacceptable.

For that, you must be punished.”

The sentences were what Crown prosecutor Ellen Leno had sought.

The so-called “Brunette

River 6” are members of a nondenominational, multi-faith prayer circle, residents of Burnaby and Vancouver, who came together to oppose tree cutting by TMX, as well as stream and urban salmon river degradation they believe is being caused by the company.

As the women entered the courthouse Monday, dozens showed up outside to support them.

The injunction, issued

by Justice Kenneth Affleck in 2018, prohibits people from entering within five metres of worksites.

Leno said McIntosh was arrested on Sept. 8 after she and eight other protesters blocked machinery from entering a worksite.

The lawyer noted injunction signs were visible nearby.

The court heard McIntosh and a man were approached by a police constable and told of the injunction.The man chose to leave while McIntosh elected to stay and was arrested. McIntosh did not dispute the facts.

In Walmsley’s case, she was in a site where tree

felling was being done on Sept. 27, the Crown told the judge. Leno said workers spotted people walking through the area without hardhats and stopped work.

The group of six knelt down and began singing.

When approached by police, two protesters chose to stay.Walmsley was read the injunction and was subsequently arrested.

The court heard Hembling was arrested on Sept.

23 when four protesters were preventing a piece of

machinery from cutting trees. Again, an officer read the injunction and all but Hembling elected to leave.

She was arrested.

Each woman said she would abide by the sentence passed and would serve it peacefully.

The women gave passionate addresses to the court about protecting the land and the threat of climate change and perils the planet faces from continued fossil fuel use.

Each said they had tried through letters to politi-

cians, the National Energy Board (NEB) and engaging in rallies and public processes.

When none of those avenues worked, they moved to civil disobedience, the court heard.

McIntosh said she has dedicated 35 years of her life to ecological justice.

She cited the International Panel on Climate Change report that United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called a “code red” for humanity” and “must sound a

death knell” for coal, oil and gas.

McIntosh explained her motivation.

“I felt a deep moral and ethical responsibility,” she said. “My motivation was driven by faith, hope, compassion and love.”

Walmsley, meanwhile, said “the destruction of Mother Earth must stop.”

“Climate change is threatening the survival of life on Earth. Greed and profit have taken precedence over people and planet. I will not sit back and do nothing while over one million animal and plant species are threatened with extinction,” she told the judge.

Hembling called TMX a “monstrous pipeline,” saying this was the first time in her life she has broken the law.

“I am not crazy. I am not malicious,” she said.

“I am an old lady.”

She said her decision to engage in civil disobedience stemmed from her Unitarian faith and belief in the interconnectedness of all things.

Two people suing after police tear gas wrong home Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

Two people are suing the provincial and federal governments after RCMP raided the wrong suite during a 2019 manhunt for a suspect in the shooting of a Transit Police officer.

The lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court of B.C., names the solicitor general of B.C. and the federal attorney general and is seeking a variety of damages for mental distress, physical injuries and property damage stemming from the raid.

RCMP members conducted the raid at a fourplex in the 7500 block of Boundary Road at about

5:30 a.m. on Feb. 3, 2019.

It was the end of a fourday manhunt for Daon Glasgow, who was later convicted of shooting Transit Police Const. Josh Harms.

The two plaintiffs, who have filed separate claims, were living together in one unit of a fourplex. Glasgow was hiding out in one of the “other units” in the fourplex, and the two plaintiffs say in their claim that they did not know him, nor did they have any dealings with him.

“The plantiff was abruptly awoken by repeated ramming and the ultimate breaking of the bedroom window in the suite by the arrest team,” reads the notice of claim

for one of the plaintiffs.

“The plaintiff believed the suite was being burgled and was terrified.”

The pair say they had guns pointed at them and

were yelled at by officers who did not identify themselves, reads the claim.

They were taken outside, where they were met with blinding floodlights and a

“military-style tank” and more officers, they allege in their claim.The female plaintiff says in the claim that she was taken out of suite in her underwear and a “skimpy” shirt.

The pair say they were taken barefoot across “snow and debris” and had to walk like that for one block.

“The plaintiff’s feet and shins were cut and bruised by the debris,” reads the claim.

The two plaintiffs say they were taken away to the Burnaby RCMP detachment but weren’t allowed to bring warmer clothes or any personal belongings.

While being detained by police, the claim says

the pair overheard officers saying the raid had been a “shit show.”

The claim says the pair had to later check into a hotel, but when the pair were finally allowed to go home, they arrived to find the home had been damaged by police and was “uninhabitable.”

The claim says police did not board up the broken window and that the suite had been “contaminated” with tear gas and pepper spray.

One plaintiff now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, including panic and depression, as well as breathing problems after inhaling tear gas and pepper spray, the claim says.

Bylaw officers will get body-worn cameras Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Body-worn cameras will soon be the new normal for the bylaw officers who patrol Burnaby’s parks on bikes, according to a report to the city’s public safety committee last week (Feb. 9).

Dave Critchley, Burnaby’s general manager of community safety, told the committee the city has signed a five-year deal with the supplier of the equipment, and staff will be trained in the use of the cameras starting this spring.

The city ran a one-year pilot program starting in March 2019 and garnered significant media attention when it put out a request for proposal for a bodyworn camera supplier in December 2020.

Body cameras had been in the spotlight amid worldwide protests against police violence aimed at Black and Indigenous people – with calls growing for law enforcement to be equipped with video recorders to increase accountability.

In June 2020, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

said he would push provincial premiers to equip police with body-worn cameras.

Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley has said he would like to see Burnaby RCMP equipped with body cameras, but he told the NOW in January 2021 that that was beyond the reach of city hall’s powers.

For Hurley, the bylaw officers body camera program wasn’t related to policing but rather intended to increase transparency and accountability “from both sides” in interactions between city staff and the public.

“Whether we like it or not, when you go into a situation these days, most situations are recorded now in some form,” he said. “The full picture is important to have.”

The bylaw body camera program is a new initiative being added to the city’s Community Safety Plan for 2022, according to Critchley.

His report on the plan says the footage from the cameras can be used as evidence in investigations and lawsuits.

“The (body-worn camera) program was part of a

larger initiative to enhance public safety and security in city park space to deter nuisance and/or illegal activity in these areas, as well as increase compliance with animal control and parks bylaws,” the report states.

Once training is complete, the city’s bylaw bike patrol team, which patrols parks and public spaces throughout the city, will be deployed with the cameras.

“Supervisory staff will conduct annual audits to ensure the BWCs are being used in compliance with the training and privacy legislation,” states the report.

The body cameras are one of five new initiatives being added to the Community Safety Plan this year.

The city will also be installing five emergency call boxes in Central Park and working on an extreme weather response strategy as well as a “good neighbourhood guideline” and a civic building asset safety inspection program.

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Convoy runs on hate for Trudeau

There is no question the anti-vaccine mandate convoys and associated protests have become more than annoying for most Canadians, but do not underestimate their potential to shake up federal politics.

The alt-right movement and its extremist Trumpian views have largely taken over the convoy movement, which have attracted the support of a number of federal Conservative MPs (including leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre).

A recent Abacus Data poll showed that 25% of Liberal voters and 23% of NDP voters said they had a “lot in common” with those involved in the convoys.That should be of concern to those two parties as they understandably condemn the actions of the blockaders.

As for anti-vaccination protest rallies, I have covered four of them at the B.C. legislature, where several thousand people have gathered each of the last four Saturdays (a convoy is part of them, although many of the vehicles that circle the legislature grounds are not trucks).

Judging by their signs, speeches and overheard snippets of conversation at these rallies, it seems to me there is no single unifying issue or theme.

There are the hardcore anti-vaxxers, of course, but there are many who are genuinely opposed to vaccination mandates and other public health measures. For many others, it is a shared hatred – and I use that word deliberately – for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Then there are the conspiracy theorists, who subscribe to delusional and crackpot websites that espouse crank science and promote bizarre falsities like insisting the COVID-19 vaccine is really a secret plan by Bill Gates to put a microchip in billions of people.

A number of people seem to be angry at the world, particularly institutions like elected governments and politicians, as well as the media. In short, they seem disenfranchised and alienated.

Finally, strong religious views are constantly on display.The word “God” appears on many protest signs, as protesters say they listen to God and not Trudeau, and that only God tells them what to put in their bodies.

These convoys and rallies may die on the vine over the spring and summer, or perhaps they won’t. But it appears that a new political force (to be sure, one that represents only a minority of the population) has been unleashed, at least for the time being.

The question is, will it shake up the political arena in ways that go well beyond border blockades and loud trunk-honking protests?

It would seem the federal Conservatives have the most to fear from this uprising, since they share the most common ground with them. If they fully embrace the convoy movement, the party will drift to the hard right, which would alienate many of its supporters.

But the blockaders appear to have also dealt a serious blow to Trudeau’s popularity, not because people agree with the blockaders’ views on things, but because he (and other political leaders) seem incapable of dealing with this crisis.

If this convoy movement spreads to other countries, as has been speculated, it will likely breathe even more life into the one here.

Which means all this may yet turn into a proverbial “long hot summer” of discontent.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Does densifying improve affordability?

“High density housing near transit corridors is logical.”

“Densifying has not seemed to help and prices just keep going up.”

Townhouses, cars get torched

Police were hunting for an arsonist or arsonists who set fire to four townhouses and three vehicles near the 4700 block of Driftwood Place one July morning.The first fire was set outside a townhouse at Greentree Village at about 2 a.m.While that burned, another was started three doors down.The arsonist then hit three vehicles parked in garages on nearby streets. “We’re dealing with a sick person here, and residents have a right to be nervous and scared,” RCMP spokesperson Const. Phil Reid said.

Opinionnow Fund mental health car Editor: Thank you for your recent article about Fraser Health Authority not providing a mental health professional to work with Burnaby RCMP as “a mobile crisis unit to help police handle calls involving people in mental health crisis.”

Such crisis units have operated in Vancouver since 1978. I am aware that in November 2020 Burnaby RCMP first approached Fraser Heath regarding such a pilot program to “help deal with skyrocketing mental health calls to police” in Burnaby. Fraser Health has not provided a mental health professional to work with Burnaby RCMP as “a mobile crisis unit to help police handle calls involving people in mental health crisis.”

As someone who was training as a nurse in Victoria, I recall working in psychiatry to provide care for those struggling with mental illness. I met and helped with the care of so many people struggling with mental illness. I saw so many people treated who regained so much mental health and then discharged into the community to live and enjoy fuller lives, not just exist.

I do not recall people existing on city streets or in parks and self-medicating to numb the pain of their mental illness. That was at a time when facilities provided more accessible, effective care and treatment for those struggling

with mental illness and when police were not, as now, being the first point of contact when they are in crisis and or involved in activity caused by/related to their untreated mental illness.

At one time, care for those struggling with mental illness was available at other healthcare sites in addition to Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam, which many are aware provided more care than is currently available.

There is so much evidence of those suffering with mental illness, and so many of us have personally had experiences due to the impact of the lack of mental health care. Mental illness is one of many illnesses suffered by so many in our communities yet is critically undertreated, i.e. treatment of mental illness that should be adequately and effectively treated more effectively as are other illnesses.

Mental illness is not a crime. Many crimes and risks to safety would not occur if our health-care system addressed and provided the needed treatment of mental illness and self-medicating/substance. When this is done, police will not be left to interact and, in some cases, arrest those struggling with untreated mental illness and self-medicating/substance abuse. Our current lack of care for them is unfair to them, to the police and the general public.

‘Mad and scared’: One car torched, one vandalized

Single mom in Burnaby is worried that someone is targeting her after two incidents outside her home Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A single mom in Burnaby is worried someone might be targeting her after her car was torched outside her home in November and a new car vandalized in the same spot last week.

Haben Gibtsawi, a local teaching assistant, woke up to a boom at about 2 a.m. on Nov. 5 at her Hillside Gardens home.

Because it had been Halloween a few days earlier, she assumed it was fireworks, but then she spotted a big fire outside her window.

She couldn’t see what was burning, and it took her a while to realize the flames were shooting right from where she had parked her brand new blue Mitsubishi on 18th Avenue the evening before.

Even after going down and seeing her car engulfed in flames, it took a

while for the reality to sink in, she said.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Gibtsawi told the NOW in an interview last week.

Firefighters had found a one-gallon jerry can in front of the fully engulfed vehicle, which also ended up scorching another nearby vehicle, and police were called in to investigate the incident as arson.

It took three months to work things out with ICBC, but Gibtsawi finally got a new Mitsubishi this month, she said.

For the first two days, she said she managed to find a parking spot by a security camera.

But on Feb. 6, someone else had taken that spot, so she ended up parking in the same inauspicious place where her other car had been torched.The next day, she found the windows rolled down, the gas cap open and the paint scratched near the gas cap.

“I was so mad and

scared at the same time,” she said.

Gibtsawi said police didn’t take the call for the second incident seriously until she explained that her last car had gone up in flames in the same spot.

Then no one told her not to touch the vehicle before investigators had taken a look at it, so she said she used a towel to dry off the interior, inadvertently destroying potential evidence in the process.

Gibtsawi, who came to Canada from an authoritarian regime in Eritrea six years ago, said she’s worried police aren’t taking her case seriously enough and not keeping her informed. She said one Burnaby RCMP member had told her earlier that her arson case was closed and she didn’t have to call anymore.

“I think they are waiting until someone really will hurt me or my kids,”

Gibtsawi said.

She said she has no enemies, no ex-boyfriend and no one she owes money to – all things police had asked her about early in the arson investigation.

As for keeping her cars safe from random vandals, she said that’s hard to do because she can’t get a parking spot in the Hillside Garden B.C. Housing complex.

She said she has even

asked to park in a visitor parking spot overnight until there’s a space available, but the manager has said no.

Burnaby RCMP, meanwhile, has told the NOW the arson file is still open.

The detachment said both the economic crime unit, which handles arson cases, and the serious crimes unit have been involved and did a “thorough examination” of both

Gibtsawi’s vehicles.

The second incident, which police are handling as a “mischief” case, is also still being investigated, according to police.

“Several sections have been involved in this file,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in an emailed statement. “When possible, officers will always try to update victims on the status of investigations, but police aren’t always able to share all the information or the investigative steps that have been taken or that are underway in order to ensure the integrity of the investigation.We understand this can be frustrating for victims, but we would like to reassure everyone involved that thorough investigative steps have been taken and the file remains open.”

Kalanj said Burnaby RCMP will be following up with Gibtsawi to address any further concerns she may have.

Cops hear lots of excuses as excessive speeders caught Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

It took just over an hour for Burnaby Mounties to catch four excessive speeders with bad excuses at Royal Oak Avenue and

Deer Lake Parkway last week.Traffic cops were set up in the area on Feb. 7.

A driver doing 97 km/h in the 50 km/h zone told one officer they had to go pick up their kids, according to police.

Another driver going 104 km/h pleaded ignorance about the posted speed limit, and a third driving 114 km/h – an ‘N’ driver – said they were late for school, police said.

None managed to talk

their way out of a $368 ticket for excessive speeding (defined as driving more than 40 km/h over the posted speed limit) and all had their vehicles towed and impounded, according to police.

Officers also caught another ‘N’ driver for speeding and discovered they were already prohibited from driving in B.C. That driver earned a court date for prohibited driving and a sev-

en-day vehicle impoundment along with tickets for speeding and not displaying an N. An average of 81 people die every year in speed related crashes, according to ICBC.

Pink Shirt Day - February 23, 2022

We need to stamp out bullying in youth sports Brad Sherwin contributor

I always get a little sad at this time of year. It’s mainly because my birthday is in the first part of March, and the number always seems to climb.

But it’s also because minor hockey and soccer programs are coming to an end.

I’ve been coaching hockey goalies for about eight years, even after my own kids ended their playing days. I always liked being on the ice and played in goal as a kid. Once I got the coaching bug, I couldn’t give it up.There’s something special about helping a young athlete learn something new and make improvements in their game.The look on their face when they’ve

learned a new skill is what keeps me coming back, year after year, despite the pain in my knees and elbows.

As a coach, we are required to take an online program called Respect in Sport.You watch some videos and answer a few questions at the end. It’s all about treating young athletes with respect. It seems pretty obvious that kids need support and encouragement. For the most part, this is what I see with the teams I work with. For the most part.

Sometimes kids feel that coaches are being mean to them. It’s a hard job for a coach to try and get the best from a player, especially in a rep situation, without being perceived by the child, and maybe the parents, as be-

ing a bit tough. It’s a delicate balance. It’s also hard because kids are starting to learn real life lessons, like disappointment in not playing because they need to improve, or losing a game, a tournament or a playoff series. It’s hard, it’s heartbreaking, but it’s part of life.

A coach is supposed to help kids understand these life lessons.That’s their real job, they just do it through sports. But the line has to be drawn when it’s not just about the game, when things go too far in the locker room or worse, outside the rink or the pitch.

I’ve heard about kids being bullied, and nothing is done. I’ve heard about kids, and even parents, raising issues, and nothing gets done.There’s

a terrible example about a 13-year-old boy in Abbotsford who quit hockey because he was being bullied and wrote a public resignation.The coaches were aware of the problem, as was the league, and didn’t do anything.

People don’t like to speak up because they are afraid they will be seen differently, that it might hurt their chances of being on a rep team the next year, that other people will avoid them. If their concerns are made public, they are sometimes punished even more for “rocking the boat.”

Coaches are great people.They volunteer, they do their best and, sadly, they might not realize the impact their actions, or inactions, have on a child.

Without recognizing it, be-

ing open to hear about it, without seeking feedback, it can have a detrimental, long-term effect.

Pink Shirt Day is coming up on Feb. 23, and it’s the day we stand up to

bullying and say it has to stop.Wearing a pink shirt one day of the year won’t do it alone.

Community now ‘Business as usual’ doesn’t mean COVID risk is low Davidicus Wong contributor

As we ease public health

restrictions, it’s easy to be lulled into a false sense of security.

When it looks like busi-

ness as usual, you might assume your risk is low. It isn’t.

Full vaccination and

boosters definitely reduce your risk for hospitalization and death, but you can still acquire a “mild”

COVID infection and pass it on.

The old rules of indoor masks, physical distancing, handwashing and vaccination are still helpful – but incomplete.They are based on the original belief that COVID is mainly spread through respiratory droplets.

We now know that the airborne spread of COVID poses a significant infection risk. Unless you know about this, you won’t know what you’re walking into during the coming weeks.

You need more knowledge to make informed choices.

Although Omicron is causing fewer hospitalizations compared to previous variants, it is not a benign infection. A so-called “mild” COVID infection that does not result in hospitalization is by no means mild and is far worse than your worst cold or a knock-out flu.

In this round of the pandemic, more of my patients are reporting extreme fatigue requiring excessive sleep, extremely dry and sore throats, head congestion, ear pain, severe continuous headaches, brain fog (similar to the symptoms of a concussion) and shortness of breath akin to feeling out of shape with mild exercise.

I’ve seen a variety of rashes suggestive of prickly heat, chilblains and hives.

These miserable symptoms are reflections of the whole-body inflammation caused by Omicron infections.We have yet to see the extent and prevalence of long COVID following this wave.

We are still seeing some fully vaccinated individuals hospitalized and dying.

The elderly, immune compromised and those with chronic health conditions remain at risk.

Unlike any other time in the pandemic, there is no way of knowing the true prevalence of COVID in your community.With testing no longer available to most, there is no way to determine your personal risk.

Because of the persistent risk of airborne spread with the unchecked high prevalence of Omicron, choose your exposure carefully, consider an N95 mask and limit your time indoors with questionable airflow.

HEART TALK With our attention on the pandemic, don’t take your total health for granted. As part of the Burnaby Division of Family Practice’s Empowering Patients public health education program, I’ll be giving a free online talk on WhatYou Need to Know About Heart Disease at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 17.

Community now Burnaby gallery exhibition reimagines Rembrandt A new exhibition at Burnaby Art Gallery is reimagining Rembrandt.

The gallery is presenting Unsettled Histories, an exhibition by Vancouver-based artist Dan Starling. It opened Feb. 4 and runs to April 17.

The exhibition takes as its starting point Rembrandt’s renowned work Christ Crucified Between Two Thieves:The Three Crosses (1653).

Rembrandt had created five states of this print, with each version altered through either sketching directly on the plate or adjusting the level of ink left on the plate for printing.

Starling, piqued by this experimental approach by one of Western art history’s most renowned figures, created 40 drypoint prints, working from the original to embellish and erase parts of the image,

Reimagined: Detail from Dan Starling’s Unsettled Histories, on display now at Burnaby Art Gallery. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

creating a shifting narrative through time on the hills outside the walls of Jerusalem.

Unsettled Histories uses printmaking to realign the timelessness of Rembrandt’s original with the timeliness of contemporary socio-political struggle in the settler-colonial

context of Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.Western art history is typically presented as timeless and unchanging; by moving Rembrandt’s work through a process of erasure and super-imposition, Starling aims to highlight the instability of occupation.

“Starling, through his process, questions the legitimacy of colonial histories, prodding at the foundations of settler-occupied cultural narratives. Starling’s single copper plate carries within it a multitude of propositions, fictions, literary accounts and imaginings,” said Burnaby Art Gallery Curator Jennifer Cane.

Included in the exhibition are 40 drypoint prints from Dan Starling’s Unsettled Histories series, accompanied by a number of Rembrandt etchings held in the City of Burnaby Permanent Art Collection. A cloth-bound hardcover publication featuring essays by Daniel Adleman, Sanem Güvenç and the artist has been published in conjunction with the exhibition.

Bubble tea festival coming in July Not too long ago, Metro Vancouverites could joke easily about there being a Starbucks on every corner.

But these days it might be wiser to sub in “a bubble tea shop” for the ubiquitous coffee chain, because Metro Vancouver is absolutely flowing in milk tea and brown sugar pearls.

This summer, fans of the Taiwanese beverage will surely want to head to Burnaby to check out the

first-ever Vancouver Bubble Tea Festival.

Positioned as Canada’s biggest bubble tea fest, this brand-new gathering will take place in July at Swangard Stadium.

Admission will be free, though you’ll have to buck up for big cups of your favourite sweet drink, as well as food.

According to organizers, attendees can expect tons of bubble tea, as well

as “night market food, performances and entertainment for you to enjoy at the event.”There are also plans for a “pearl judging contest” for the public to participate in and a chance to pick your favourite bubble tea of the fest.

In the city of Vancouver, bubble tea shops have had to shift away from plastic straws; with the big Bubble Tea Festival going down in neighbouring Burnaby,

where there is no straw ban, it’s unclear as of now if the vendors will be offering those iconic extra-wide colourful plastic straws with each and every single cup they sell at the event.

BUBBLE TEA FESTIVAL 2022 When: July 22-23 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Where: Swangard Stadium, 3883 Imperial St. Cost: Admission is free; pay for your food & drink

tocols are in place at the gallery in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All visitors must follow safety signage and staff directions at all times and are

asked to postpone their visit if they are feeling sick.

The Burnaby Art Gallery is at 6344 Deer Lake Ave. See www.burnabyart gallery.ca for information.

Community now Province funds addition of 61 affordable rentals Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

More affordable rental housing is on the way for Burnaby.

In an announcement Feb. 9, the province said a new redevelopment project is underway in Burnaby that will create 61 new affordable rental houses for low and moderate-income families, seniors and people living with developmental disabilities.

Three outdated group-

home buildings at 7415 Sussex Ave. have been demolished and will be replaced by 39 rental units for families and seniors and 22 group-home units for adults living with developmental disabilities.

The province says once construction is finished, group home residents that relocated during the work will have the option of moving into the new development with no change to their current rent.

The L’Arche Founda-

tion of Greater Vancouver will operate the new homes.

“The construction of this project helps ensure a supply of quality, afford-

able homes for people in Burnaby, so they aren’t forced to move away from the community they call home,” MLA for Burnaby-Edmonds Raj Chouhan said in the announcement.

“Thank you to the L’Arche Foundation of Greater Vancouver, the federal government and the City of Burnaby for working with our government to deliver homes that will provide an affordable place to live for a range of people in need.”

The province says it is contributing $6.7 million from the Building BC: Community Housing Fund.They will also provide annual operat-

ing funding of roughly $300,000.

The project is also receiving $854,000 from the Government of Canada and the Province by way of the Canada-British Columbia Bilateral Agreement on Housing.The City of Burnaby is providing a $1.5 million grant.

“The City of Burnaby is proud to support this project and the quality homes it will provide for people in our community,” Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley said in a statement.

“When we come together, we can achieve great things and partnerships like this are a great way to respond to our housing crisis.”

The City of Burnaby is asking residents and organizations to share their experiences from last summer’s record hot weather and offer ideas for how the city can enhance its response to future extreme heat events.

As part of its review, the city has created an online survey and encourages residents and organizations to complete it

by Feb. 28.The survey is available at Burnaby.ca/ yourvoice-heatresponse.

“Burnaby, like many other parts of B.C., experienced three consecutive extreme heat weather events last summer – a heat dome (June 25 to July 1) and two subsequent heat waves (July 29 to Aug. 1, and Aug. 6 to 15),” the city said in a statement. “During the hot weather, the city activated its extreme heat initial response guideline and implemented a number of measures to protect the public and mitigate health risks.”

City measures included opening cooling

sites and providing information about them online, via social media and through posters and postcards; delivering information postcards by hand to vulnerable citizens; assigning dedicated teams from Burnaby RCMP to check in on vulnerable citizens; and adjusting fire department staffing to respond to an increase in requests for emergency medical aid.

Beginning September 2021, the city launched an internal review of its response and prepared a summary report for council that provided an overview of the actions taken and some initial recommendations for the future.

From the survey, the city hopes to determine whether its actions helped and what it could have done better, as well as how the city can work with organizations in Burnaby during future heat events.

More than 60 Burnaby residents died due to heat-related incidents in 2021.

Citynow Burnaby Hospital gets second CT scanner Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

Those on a wait list for a CT scan at Burnaby Hospital will hopefully have their wait shortened after the announcement that a second CT scanner is now officially in operation.

In a media release on Feb. 10, Minister of Health Adrian Dix said a second CT scanner was installed in late 2021, followed by technologist training and initial startup taking place in January of 2022.

The scanner officially opened to patients on Jan. 15, 2022, and had already seen 550 scans completed as of Feb. 10.

“The addition of a second CT scanner at Burnaby Hospital is a significant investment for Burnaby, which will help reduce wait times for those who need access to this important service,” Dix said.

existing scanner could perform more than 20,000 tests a year.The second machine is expected to provide another 8,500 this year.

The cost of the machine is estimated at $4.7 million, with Fraser Health contributing $3.2 million through the province.

The Burnaby Hospital Foundation is contributing $1.5 million, including a $1-million contribution from the City of Burnaby.

“We are thrilled to see this project come to fruition, particularly given the pandemic’s widespread impact on hospital upgrades and expansions,” said Burnaby Hospital Foundation CEO Kristy James.

“We can’t thank our donors enough, and we are so grateful to the City of Burnaby for its contribution of $1 million toward this project.”

Total 2,564.4 2,026.6 * Detailed methods for calculating emissions are contained in the full application document.

1 Current authorization is for 232.8 tonnes/y “total particulate matter (PM) (other than from combustion sources)” from source 19R, and current estimated emissions of “total PM (filterable and condensable from combustion sources)” are 31.3 tonnes/y from all other sources. To reflect Metro Vancouver’s recently adopted Bylaw 1330, PM values are expressed as “Coarse PM” and “Fine PM”, with the authorized emissions for source 19R split between Fine PM and Coarse PM fractions based on recent emissions testing results, and all estimated combustion PM from other sources allocated to Fine PM. 2 Current permit has no limits on emission of photo-reactive volatile organic compounds (VOC) or Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP). Some VOCs emitted by Parkland are also HAPs (benzene, toluene & xylene), so to avoid double counting, estimated emissions of these compounds are have been reallocated from “Photo-reactive VOC – Estimated Maximum” to “HAP - Estimated Maximum” based on Parkland’s 2020 National Pollutant Release Inventory submission, which indicated that HAP made up 2.14% of total speciated VOC. 3 Current permit has no limits on methane emissions This Notice is published pursuant to the Environmental Management Act, the Public Notification Regulation, and the Greater Vancouver Regional District Air Quality Management Bylaw 1082, 2008. A person who may be adversely affected by the granting or amending of the permit described in this notice may, within 30 days of its publication, notify Metro Vancouver’s District Director in writing stating how that person is affected. When making a decision on the permit or approval application, the District Director will consider the application, comments submitted and any responses provided by the applicant.

Information collected during the comment period and the time following until a decision on the permit application has been made is collected under the authority of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
