Citynow COURT

Fence squabble lands families in court ‘Acrimony’ between neighbours started with the early removal of a fence, according to court ruling

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Two Burnaby families might have saved themselves a long legal battle if they’d remembered the old saying about good fences making good neighbours.

It all started in 2015, when the Gill family (Amrik and Mohinder) decided to tear down their Napier Street house and build a new one, according to a recent ruling by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ardith Walkem.

On the east side of their property, however, was a length of laurel hedge and a retaining wall topped with a cedar fence and a chain-link fence separating their lot from their neighbours’, the Lightfoots (Thomas and Helen).

“The acrimony between the parties started with the early removal of the fence between the two properties that ensured the (Lightfoots’) sense of privacy and security,”Walkem said in an April 7 ruling. “This fence was removed earlier in the construction process than necessary.The dispute has blossomed into extended animosity between the parties.”

The Gills informed the Lightfoots about their plans to tear down the hedge and retaining wall, and the Lightfoots expressed concerns because the retaining wall supported a raised patio, walkway, steps and the two fences on the Lightfoot

property.

“The (Gills) promised to discuss these concerns with their contractor,” stated the ruling.

But, when the house was demolished on Aug. 26, 2015, the contractor tore down the cedar fence as well without the knowledge or consent of the Lightfoots, according to the ruling.

“The (Lightfoots) were left without the wall for privacy (for the) duration of the construction,” the ruling stated.

When the Lightfoots contact the Gills about the demolished fence, the Gills told them a delay

in the demolition would have meant having to pay the excavator for a second visit, according to the ruling.

In September 2015, the Gills then proposed removing and replacing a section of the retaining wall since their engineer had warned them the wall could topple into the construction excavation.

The Gills confirmed they would pay for the renovation to the wall and any damage to the Lightfoots’ raised patio, walkway and steps.

When the retaining wall was replaced, however, it was built with capped pil-

lars, and the Lightfoots didn’t like the look of the caps, which extend several inches over the width of the retaining wall.

They wanted those caps “shaved off,” according to the ruling, but the Gills liked them just fine.

The Lightfoots also wanted a cedar fence atop the retaining wall, while the Gills fancied a black metal fence.

“The (Gills) expressed the opinion that, as they paid for the fence, they should choose the type of fence that went in,” stated the ruling.

That issue had been resolved before the case

made it to court, but Walkem said it “appeared to fuel this dispute.”

LAWSUIT FILED In June 2019, the Lightfoots finally decided to sue the Gills for trespass for the removal of the cedar fence way back in 2015.

“They say they did not give permission for the (Gills’) contractor to enter onto their property and to demolish the fence when that event occurred,” stated the ruling.

Walkem was inclined to rule in the Lightfoots’ favour.

“I find that there was consent to the removal of

the fence, but not to the timing,” she said. “It is not clear that the (Gills) themselves knew until after the fact that there was a significant cost savings to early removal, as opposed to waiting and removing the fence when the retaining wall was replaced.The fence was removed earlier than discussed to save the (Gills) money.The (Lightfoots) lost privacy and effective use of their property for over a year.”

There was only one problem with the trespass claim – it had been filed too late, and Walkem dismissed it.

But she did grant the Lightfoots an order declaring the retaining wall to be their property, since only one centimetre of it was determined to be on the Gills’ side.

Walkem also made a declaration allowing the Lightfoots to remove the capped pillars at their own expense.

To head off any further bad blood between the neighbours, however, she left them with a bit of advice.

“As an aside, I note that this dispute arose because the (Lightfoots) did not feel as though they were involved in decisions that impacted their property,” she said “My suggestion would be that they seek a solution to address the capped pillars that works for the (Gills) as well.”

Reported hate crimes dropped in Burnaby, says report Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby RCMP’s annual report for 2021 is out, and it says reported hate crimes in the city dropped dramatically after a disturbing spike in 2020.

The report lists 12 hate

crimes in Burnaby, with five assaults, four property crimes and three instances of uttering threats reported.

That is down from 37 hate crimes in Burnaby in 2020, which was up from 18 in 2019 and 16 in 2018. It should be noted

that not all hate crimes are reported to police due to language barriers and many people not feeling comfortable calling police.

“From 2019 to 2020, Burnaby experienced a significant increase in hate crimes,” says the report.

“In response, the Burnaby

RCMP collaborated with local community groups, the City of Burnaby and the Burnaby Crime Prevention Unit to distribute hate crime awareness posters throughout the city.These posters, written in English, simplified Chinese, Punjabi and Korean,

encouraged victims of hate crime to speak with the police. Consequently, we saw a dip in the number of reported hate crimes in 2021.”

The rise in hate crimes also led to the formation of the group Stand With Asians Coalition in Burn-

aby, which was recognized with a B.C. government Intercultural Trust Award on March 21.The award recognizes outstanding work in building intercultural trust and understanding, and/or reducing racism and hate between communities.

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

New police force is dead in the water

An all-party legislative committee tasked with modernizing the B.C. Police Act released its report with a splash last week, but do not expect its biggest recommendation to turn into reality anytime soon, if ever.

That would be the idea of getting rid of the RCMP and replacing it with a provincial police force. Unless there is a strong consensus among the 12 municipalities to get rid of their own municipal police forces, the idea of booting the RCMP out of its 130 detachments in B.C. is likely dead in the water.

The B.C. government and the RCMP have a contract for that police force to provide services until March, 2032. Either side can terminate the agreement but have to give at least two years notice of wanting to do so.

Not only would moving to a provincial police force be a complicated, lengthy and expensive process, but it would likely create significant problems at the political level as well.

That is why I can’t see either the NDP or the BC Liberals moving down that road in the years ahead, no matter which party is in power.

While the legislative committee was made of MLAs from both parties (as well as Green Party MLA Adam Olsen) its recommendations are non -binding and were made through a committee lens, not a government one.

Given the political turmoil created in Surrey with its controversial move to a municipal force in place of the RCMP, I am sure any provincial cabinet would think long and hard before jumping off that cliff into a sea of controversy were it to seriously consider the provincial police idea.

B.C.’s 12 municipal police forces cover about 27

electoral ridings, 19 of which are held by NDP MLAs (this does not include Surrey).While in many respects the idea of amalgamating at least some of them into a regional force sounds good on paper, the political realities of such a shift could create a firestorm where one does not exist right now.

This is not to say the 46-year-old Police Act does not need modernizing. It does – and the committee provided valuable work and recommendations designed to do just that.

The MLAs addressed issues such as ending systemic racism, creating more diversity, strengthening indigenous rights and improving the training and education of police officers.

They also recommended that the government “create an appropriately fund a continuum of response to mental health, addictions and complex social issues” that includes increased coordination and integration across police, health, mental health and social services.

This may be the most important recommendation of the committee’s 11 recommendations.

We shall see if action is taken along these lines, or whether the report simply gathers dust on a legislature library shelf (given the increasing number of mental health challenges police officers face in the course of their duties, I suspect this recommendation will get some much needed attention).

Best to focus on the more “doable” ideas the committee has come up, rather than the splashy idea of turning police services on their head by creating a provincial force.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Should students have to do volunteer work?

Younger people avoiding having kids due to the high cost of housing Editor: Housing has become a major issue in Canada.

Soaring prices have caused major problems in family structure.

As a university graduate, one of my observations speaking with other university students as well as members of the general public have expressed concerns on rent affordability and how costly it has become to buy a home.

I remember speaking with seniors who had genuine concerns as they were on pensions and had anxiety on the increases in rent every year in some places.

Younger Canadians are avoiding starting families and, in a way, avoiding having children, since families are becoming more and more focused on paying rent and the anxiety around this issue.

I’ve spoken over the years with many people who have anxiety around job security and how this will impact the ability to pay rent.

Many people I have observed are just living to work and are forced into this situation by the lack of government having stricter laws and

• THURSDAY, May 5, 2022 7

protecting tenants’ rights across Canada as a whole.

Many people I’ve spoken to have told me stories — examples being the heater is not working in the winter months, rodent infestations, ceilings that are leaking and maintenance coming weeks later, no electricity in some places for a number of days.

Mental health is affected by this. The housing crisis really impacts people’s mental well-being overall. An excellent organization called Acorn Canada basically pushes government to have better laws to protect people’s basic human rights.

Ultimately, the government should have stricter laws to protect tenants, as well as hold accountable apartment corporations that treat tenants poorly.

Rent should not be so costly in major cities as average Canadians struggle to make ends meet, especially during COVID. One thing I’ve noticed speaking with younger Canadians college graduates and university graduates is how good-quality jobs are harder to find and many graduates many friends have ended up working in grocery stores or fast food chain restaurants to make ends meet in order to pay rent.

Charges laid in alleged stranger assault in mall Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Charges have been laid in an alleged stranger assault inside Burnaby’s Metrotown mall.

Lower Mainland resident and actor Zenia Marshall took to social media in March, saying she had been assaulted at the Metropolis at Metrotown mall on March 14.

She said she had been walking with a friend and the attack was “completely unprovoked.”

In subsequent media interviews, she said a woman “came out of nowhere” “bee-lined” towards her and shoved her with both hands “full force.”

“I’m okay, but I would hate to see anyone victim to her attacks in a situation more serious and life endangering,” Marshall said

in her social media post.

Last Friday, Hayun Song, 32, was charged with assault in relation to the incident.

Song has now been charged in three alleged random assaults on strangers in Burnaby, including the tripping of an 84-yearold woman who was using a walker near the Burnaby SkyTrain station in April 2020 and another assault involving a stranger in February 2021.

Last week, a warrant was also issued for Song’s arrest, after she allegedly breached her bail conditions by failing to report as directed to her bail supervisor and to attend forensic psychiatric services.

Provincial court Judge Jennifer Oulton, who issued the warrant, noted the Crown prosecutor considered the alleged

breach “serious.”

“The forensic (psychiatric reporting) is a very important term of her release

given these allegations and given the fact these were strangers,” Oulton said.

Song’s next court ap-

Burnaby’s North Road Koreatown caters to your health and wellness North Road BIA connects businesses and community for optimum beauty, fitness and wellbeing

Call it cool—if you will—and you’d be on point. After all, when Burnaby’s North Road corridor can lay claim to the largest concentration of Korean businesses, shopping and services in Canada, coupled with an alluring mix of international flavour, a cultural cachet permeates. And fittingly, the Burnaby North Road Business Improvement Association (BIA) coined the area “Uniquely Cool,” distinctly defining the community’s way of life.

“The area is experiencing dynamic change, and we feel we’re one of the unique town centres in Burnaby that features a variety of interesting businesses, including coffee shops, restaurants, beauty and fitness services and health stores.

We think we’re pretty cool.”

Businesses line both sides of North Road, which straddles Burnaby (to the west) and Coquitlam (to the east), from the Highway 1 overpass at the south end, to the convergence of Clarke Road (north end), earmarked with a public art star.

The BIA’s influence

Affectionately known as K-Town, which is concentrated in the blocks from Austin Avenue along North Road southward, includes 180 Korean businesses and services, with amenities such as North Road Centre, North Road Plaza, Korea Town Center and Hanin Village, making up a vibrant, almost exclusively, Korean business community.

The BIA has been instrumental in revitalizing the neighbourhood, with a heavy focus on safety and security. One of their most significant accomplishments to date is improving the area for homelessness.

“Working closely with our community partners is very important to us, and the RCMP and Transit Police have done a spectacular job in cleaning up this area,” reveals Orazietti.

Beauty, fitness, health and wellness When you think of a BIA, it usually conjures up images of area beautification, among other initiatives.

While the North Road BIA addresses those projects too, think beautification for yourself.

“Burnaby’s Mayor Hurley set up emergency shelters for homeless people, both cold and hot weather

Looking for relief from body ailments, injury, or recovery from an intense workout? Health practitioners on North Road provide a wide range of treatments for your specific needs.

Consider, Absolute PhysioCare, AURA Healing Medi Clinic, Olive Tree Wellness Clinic, and REV Time Spa and Wellness Centre. If you seek relaxation and stress relief, look to Lucky Feet for reflexology therapy or experiment with cupping therapy at Evergreen Health Clinic.

“North Road is a real haven for spas and clinics, and we have gorgeous facilities—some could rival the posh downtown area.

Korean skincare is touted the most prestigious in the world with state-of-the-art products.”

Step into a realm of bliss for your body at Juillet Wellness. Feel rejuvenated with treatments from their Healing Spa, RMT, Acupuncture TCM Clinic, and more.

Visit Diva Brow Bar & Spa for head-to-toe perfection, from brow threading to full-body waxing, among others. Whether you’re looking for a customized style, creative colour or special treatment, your locks will love Hair Design Shaggy, La Belle Hair Salon, The Hair Make-up and Women Wave.

The longevity of both Korean and non-Korean businesses and their loyal clientele cannot be understated. For instance, in Korea Town Center, Pho Japolo Sushi has been serving the community for nearly 30 years, and North Road Optical, almost 40, both are family-owned and operated.

“We are K-Town, but we’re also a blend of international businesses, right at the precipice of huge development,” says Carolyn Orazietti, executive director, Burnaby North Road BIA.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT

LET JIMMY MATCH YOUR DONATION | BHFOUNDATION.CA Burnaby Hospital’s patient-centric care increases with trailblazing new Redevelopment Jim Pattison to match your donation when you give a gift to Burnaby Hospital Foundation, up to $5 million will double, thanks to celebrated philanthropist and business icon Jim Pattison, and his $5 million matching gift towards Burnaby Hospital redevelopment.

“With Jim Pattison’s gracious support, the time to give is now,” says Kristy James, President & CEO, Burnaby Hospital Foundation.

It’s an exciting time for Burnaby Hospital Foundation. Their Proud History, Bright Future redevelopment campaign is underway to encourage Burnaby and East Vancouver communities to support the modernization and revitalization of a new health care campus, one of the biggest investments in B.C.’s healthcare history.

“Not only is it an investment into the community’s future, but when you contribute to your hospital, you contribute to your own future, the future of your kids, and your family’s future.”

Constructed in 1952, the hospital has not received a major upgrade for 40 years.

“I’ve always believed in giving back and supporting communities to help people get the health care they need,” shares Jim Pattison. “I am proud to make this contribution to help Burnaby Hospital provide people with excellent medical care close to home.”

By donating to Burnaby Hospital Foundation, your gift’s impact

Donor gifts are essential, and this incredible support is life-altering and

life-saving for the thousands of patients and families who rely on high-quality and accessible health care.

“Chances are you or a loved one will need our hospital at some point in the future,” says Dr. Tim Kostamo, Head of Orthopedic Surgery and Burnaby Hospital Foundation Board Member. “By supporting our campaign, you will help us continue to provide the best care possible, close to home.”

Phase One of the redevelopment will focus on four key services: emergency care, surgery, maternity, and mental health.

In addition to the key services, the hospital redevelopment will also be designed with enhanced features in place to respond to future pandemics, including outbreak control zones, vestibules for putting on and taking off personal protective equipment, and airborne isolation rooms.

“This generous matching gift from Jim Pattison pushes us so much closer to our shared vision of exceptional health care in a community where we all live, work and find enjoyment,” says James.

“The Proud History, Bright Future redevelopment is a meaningful way for any individual to give back.

There is no better time to give than now.”

To learn more about Burnaby Hospital Foundation, the redevelopment campaign, or to make a contribution, visit bhfoundation.ca or call 604-431-2881.

Burnaby Hospital Foundation is the philanthropic organization supporting Burnaby Hospital. The Foundation was established in 1982 to raise funds for surgical and medical equipment, advanced technologies, medical education and community health care needs.

Community now EDUCATION

Students learn to make their own submersibles

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Gillian Potyka’s Grade 6 and 7 class very nearly opened a coffee shop and roasted their own coffee beans this year – instead, they’re building a fleet of remotely operated underwater vehicles from scratch so they can film whatever is lurking in Burnaby’s lakes, ponds and streams.

When asked if all that sounds insanely ambitious, the Sperling Elementary School French immersion teacher laughs.

“Potentially,” she says.

But if things don’t go according to plan, that won’t be the end of the world, according to Potyka, because that’s not where the learning happens.

“I want my students to find success, don’t get me wrong,” she says. “Like, I want them to get there; I want them to get an ROV in the water and for them to film the underwater life, like they said they wanted to do, but the level of learning that they’ve done doing the project itself and even just to get to this point has been massive. And that’s what I enjoy about these projects.”

HOW TO BUILD A PVC SUBMERSIBLE Potyka answers questions between helping groups of students glue together lengths of pvc pipe to make up the submers-

ibles’ frames.

The work is finicky and unforgiving, with the glue drying quickly and misalignments potentially messing up the whole thing.

Potyka points to one group’s creation, where a joint is just a few millimetres off but is putting the whole structure out of whack.

Such missteps are all part of the learning, Potyka says.

“It’s all about ‘We’ve made a mistake. How are

we going to recover from it? What are we going to do? How are we going to persevere through this and how are we going to keep the project going?’Which is anything that you do in life,” she says.

Ideally, by the beginning of June, each group will have built an ROV with propellers, a camera, an umbilical cable and a control box.

To help make that happen, Potyka has enlisted expert help from a veteran of submarine engineering:

Jean-Marc Laframboise, senior technical advisor with International Submarine Engineering Ltd. in Port Coquitlam.

Besides helping students actually build the submersibles for the last few months, he has teamed up with Potyka on lessons and experiments related to key concepts, like structure, ballast, propulsion and navigation.

“I’m enjoying helping the students,” he says.

When the ROVs are complete, he says the kids

will make a trip out to Port Coquitlam to test them in his company’s test pool.

“Once it’s all working, they can take them to the little lakes around here and put it in the water,” he says.

‘WE WANT TO FILM OCEAN LIFE’ Potyka has done a lot of big projects with her classes over the years, and all of the ideas have come from students, she says.

“I want to encourage their interests,” she says.

That means she tends to start the school year never quite knowing what they’ll end up working on.

This year’s project was conceived after a presentation by Ocean Networks Canada in the fall.

“My students said something along the lines of ‘We want to film ocean life.’ So that’s where it started,” Potyka says.

Like the coffee shop and roastery idea, the submersible plan suggested enough scope to include all the subject areas Potyka teaches.

One group of students who weren’t as excited about the techy elements of the project even pitched the idea of a communications team.

They are now in charge of shooting and editing videos for the project’s TikTok account.

As the interview with Potyka wraps up, it’s clear her class is still in the thick of things, with a lot of learning left to do before the underwater vessels are ready to launch. Next step? The submersibles’ electrical systems.

“My students are learning how to solder this afternoon,” she says with a laugh.

I get an email update later in the day.

“It went brilliantly. No burns.”

Hats Off Day returns to Hastings Street Your favourite local merchants will also host storefront activities, sales and other celebrations for the day. The Show & Shine for unique and vintage vehicles will be back as well, as will the Family Fun Dash.

There are some modifications to the event this year, due to the shorter planning period. The annual Hats Off Day parade is suspended for 2022 (we plan to revive the Parade in 2023). This is for several reasons, mostly cen-

The Heights Merchants Association is excited to bring Hats Off Day back to the street on Saturday, June 18.

Burnaby’s favourite street party will be hosted on Hastings Street between Boundary and Gamma from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

As their annual community appreciation day, the local businesses will treat visitors to free entertainment and activities in select locations in the district.

tered on the length of time it takes to prepare for the parade for both the organizers and the participants. The festival is also being held two weeks later than usual.

Please note, because at its heart, Hats Off Day is a truly local neighbourhood celebration and a “customer appreciation day” hosted by Burnaby Heights merchants, and to give back to our community, outside businesses may not be vendors at this event. Limited spaces are

being provided for local, Burnaby-based non-profit societies.

We are so excited to welcome neighbours and visitors back to the Heights to celebrate Burnaby’s favourite festival.

Daycare finds creative solution for rodents Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

You never know what you’ll learn chasing down news stories in Burnaby.

Just last week, I was taking photos at DuthieUnion Elementary School on Frances Street in North

Burnaby for a story about how the old school has been bought by the province’s French language school board, Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique. (If you missed that story in the April 28 print edition, you can read it online at

www.tinyurl.com/Burn abyFrancophoneSchool.)

I spotted a concrete figure stationed near the front of the building near a minibus owned by the Puddle Splashers daycare, which has run out of the school for years.

The figure, with a

smashed face and creepily intact tongue, looked like a medieval gargoyle designed to ward off evil spirits.

It turns out it’s there to ward off evil rodents that had been chewing the wiring of the daycare’s old bus.

“We used to have a different school bus, and rodents and other animals were eating the wiring, and it was very expensive to change the wiring and get it redone underneath the bus,” Puddle Splashers director Shawna Harrison told me.

The child-care provider looked for a solution on Google and learned that strategically placing concrete animals, like the lifesized Puddle Splashers dog, can keep the rodents away.

Apparently, the pests are afraid to go around the concrete guardians.

“We have not had

a case since we put it there,” Harrison said.

The dog has been placed in different spots around the building for about seven or eight years, according to Harrison.

She said something or someone tipped it over about a year ago and smashed off its snout and part of one ear.

But the kids at the daycare seem unperturbed by its disfigurement.

“The kids all love it,” Harrison said. “A lot of kids pet it when they walk by. If we move it to a different spot, they ask where it’s gone.”

Students show pride through online event cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Eighty students from across the province showed their Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing pride last month during an inaugural online competition hosted by the Burnaby school district.

The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Proud Showcase on April 11 saw students in kindergarten to Grade 12 compete in American Sign Language poetry, art and communication – all on the theme of “What makes you proud to be Deaf or Hard of Hearing?”

Students from the B.C. Provincial School for the Deaf (BCSD), which shares a campus with Burnaby South Secondary School, owned the podium in the Grade 6 to 12 ASL poetry category, with Teanna Kay, Natasha Germaine and Angus LeMaitre placing first, second

and third respectively.

“I absolutely love to advocate and support our community and be involved in all kinds of things and advocate for Deaf people,” Germaine said in an online interview with organizers, “so I felt that the more people that could be included, it meant the more the community could get together, but with COVID, I’ve noticed that it’s shrunk a little bit, the size of our community, so I’d really encourage people to participate and advocate for themselves.”

(Her words were translated by an ASL translator.)

In the ASL poetry category for students in kindergarten to Grade 5, BCSD’s Zoe Kalenuik came in first and Everly Hohnadel, also from BCSD, came in third.

The showcase also featured a Deaf Image Art

(De’VIA) competition.

Burnaby Central Secondary School student BaowenYan took firstplace honours in the Grade 6 to 12 section of that contest.

In the spotlight communication competition, Burnaby Mountain Secondary School student Izabella Kamaeva took third place in the Grade 6 to 12 category.

The event was put on by BC Provincial Outreach Program, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, a provincial program administered by the school district.

Prizes ranged from gift cards to Fitbit smart watches.

School board chair Jen Mezei opened the virtual gathering.

“Deaf culture is unique and part of a rich history with a beautiful language that enriches our school district,” she said.

Meet our new reporter The Burnaby NOW is pleased to welcome Lauren Vanderdeen to the newsroom. Lauren comes to us from the journalism program at Langara College, where she won a Jack Webster student journalism award.

A resident of Port Moody by way of Vancouver, she grew up in the suburbs and made full use of Burnaby’s parks, malls and libraries — whether it was trekking to the SFU campus for late night highschool studies, or trawling Metrotown and Lougheed Mall with friends. Lauren is thrilled to get to know the city even better.

Lauren spent six years in Halifax, N.S., where she won a graduate award for her master’s research in ancient Greek and Latin.

After finishing her degree, she decided she enjoyed 21st-century stories more than ones from thousands

of years past (though she still likes those too).

She’s worked as a museum assistant at the Port Moody Station Museum and an events coordinator at PoMoArts. For a short while, you might have been served by her at the late Gallery Bistro on Port Moody’s Clarke Street.

With a love of arts and culture, Lauren can often be found, camera in hand, walking around Metro Vancouver. She’s an inveterate SkyTrain enthusiast and hopes you’ll chat with her on Burnaby life – email her anytime about stories at lvanderdeen@ burnabynow.com.

TransLink plan lists gondola as a ‘priority’ Jess Balzer jfedigan@

Please call 604-398-3481 or Email distribution@burnabynow.com

The proposed gondola that would transport riders up Burnaby Mountain to Simon Fraser University (SFU) has been listed as a “priority” in a new regional transit plan.

TransLink revealed the first 10 years of its Transport 2050 plan and included the project among 170 kilometres of new rapid transit on up to 11 corridors.

Other key 10-year priorities in its regional transportation strategy are: Ð Regional express bus services Ð $1.5 billion for low-carbon bus fleets Ð Building 450 km of new traffic-separated cycling paths

Ð 60% increase in HandyDART services to meet future ridership demand and provide 24-hour service Ð The Millennium Line SkyTrain extension from Arbutus Street to UBC (pending development of a new funding model with project partners) “It’s critical that we lay the groundwork for achieving the region’s shared goals set out in Transport 2050,” TransLink CEO Kevin Quinn said in a news release.

“I am confident that with a broadly supported set of priorities and a strong partnership with the Province of BC and the Government of Canada, we can deliver on these shared benefits.”

Earlier this year, Burnaby council announced its endorsement for Route 1, a direct route from Production Way-University SkyTrain station to UniverCity and SFU. City staff agreed it’s the better technical solution.

The route length would be 2.7 kilometres, with five towers and a travel time of six minutes.TransLink said the route would have good financial performance as well as the highest societal benefits, lowest capital and operating costs, smallest footprint, best geotechnical conditions, fewest park impacts and fewest environmental impacts.

Two public surveys undertaken by TransLink found 85% of respondents supported Route 1.

Community now Police remove commercial trucks from the road Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police checking commercial vehicles in Burnaby Monday took so many trucks off the road for safety violations that tow trucks hooking up the vehicles were taking up all the space.

“We had to stop inspecting for a half-hour period because there was no more room for us to stop another truck,” said Const.

Kevin Connolly, the detachment’s commercial ve-

hicle enforcement officer.

Officers from around the Lower Mainland were set up on Marine Way near the New Westminster border.

The very first truck and trailer they pulled over were taken out of service after an inspection found numerous problems.

The trailer was 4,250 kilograms overweight and 1,320 kg over tire capacity, according to Connolly.

“The trailer’s axle, because it has two axles, are bent and the tires are

curved inwards due to that bending of the axle,” he said.

Connolly suspects the trailer has been routinely overloaded.

“Eventually, if it’s done enough, that axle’s just going to snap,” he said.

Besides the dangers of an out-of-control vehicle

with a snapped axle or the overall reduced braking ability of an overly heavy truck, driving around overweight also has insurance implications, according to Connolly.

Since trucks are partly insured based on their carrying capacity, driving over that weight could

nullify a trucker’s insurance.

The second truck officers pulled over in Burnaby Monday was also towed.

An inspection revealed compromised steering, a “bent pintle hook hitch” and “numerous other defects,” according to a

Sweep nets 37 arrests A two-day operation targeting shoplifters in Burnaby’s Metrotown neighbourhood led to 37 arrests last month.

On April 21 and 22, Burnaby RCMP partnered with loss-prevention officers and security at the Metropolis at Metrotown mall and Station Square, according to a police news release.

Over the two days, officers arrested 37 people, including seven with outstanding warrants and four others who were breaching

court-imposed conditions, the release said.

Police also recovered approximately $5,000 worth of merchandise during the operation, which they call a “boost and bust,” according to the release.

Police noted “many” of the offenders were not Burnaby residents.

“This type of crime affects everyone and is a regional issue,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in the release.

An easy way to earn extra money! Be part of a great team!

The Burnaby Hospital Foundation announced Monday that legendary B.C. businessman Jim Pattison will match up to $5 million in donations towards the redevelopment campaign to upgrade Burnaby Hospital.

Phase 1 of Burnaby Hospital’s redevelopment focuses on four key services: expanding emergency care, improving surgery services, creating a new maternity centre and building a new mental health unit.

“I’ve always believed in giving back and supporting communities to help people get the health care they need,” Pattison said in a statement. “I am proud to make this contribution to help Burnaby Hospital provide people with excellent medical care close to home.”

The first phase of redevelopment is estimated to cost $612 million and is funded by the province and the Burnaby Hospital

Foundation.

The hospital sees about 200,000 patients a year, with 83,000 emergency department visits.

Kristy James, president and CEO of the Burnaby Hospital Foundation, said it’s important to keep health on the forefront of our minds.

“The hospital has been at the heart of this community for a long time,

and the Proud History, Bright Future redevelopment is a meaningful way for any individual to give back,” James said.

The foundation encourages the community in Burnaby and East Vancouver to consider giving in support of the hospital.

Burnaby Hospital has reached its capacity, with no major renovations in the last 40 years.The older

facility has created challenges to supporting patients, including a lack of space to expand surgery and emergency. Currently there are nursing units where most patients share rooms and bathrooms.

The redevelopment’s first phase will include 83 beds of primarily single-patient rooms with private bedrooms.There will also be a mental health and substance use unit with a secured outdoor patio.

Dr.Tim Kostamo, head of orthopedic surgery at Burnaby Hospital and a board member of the Burnaby Hospital Foundation, said an updated hospital with new and improved operating rooms will be “amazing.”

“I can’t wait to have [our medical team] work in a world-class facility designed to encourage even more cutting-edge innovation,” Kostamo said.

Construction on Phase 1 is expected to be completed in 2026.

Burnaby singer up for a Juno Award Lee Rankin

editorial@burnabynow.com

When the Juno Awards take place in Toronto on May 15, Burnaby’s own Luca Fogale will be on pins and needles to see if his 2020 album, Nothing is Lost, takes home the award for best adult contemporary album.

Fogale, a North Burnaby native who lives and records at his home near Deer Lake, learned about the prestigious nomination on the “very lovely morning” of March 1 from a colleague and his management team.

Fogale, 31, is one of five nominees in the adult contemporary category. He described the nomination as “exciting,” but he keeps a healthy perspective on musical awards.

“It is important to be recognized, and it reinforces that people appreciate your work,” Fogale said. “Mostly, I think about music and the people who listen to it and who are connecting with my songs.”

In a November 2020 interview with Atwood Magazine, Fogale described Nothing Is Lost as “an album about my search for purpose and meaning in life, particularly in the absence of religion since I left behind my belief in a higher power a decade ago.”

“I wrote the 12 songs inside of this album over the past four years,” he told the NOW, “during which I have thought endlessly about what it means to exist, and in turn what the possibilities of being alive can be.”

Fogale attended Sperling Elementary and Burnaby North Secondary before studying psychology at UBC. He played soccer for Cliff Avenue United Football Club and worked as a lifeguard at C.G. Brown Memorial Pool along the way.

Fogale has two older siblings, Christina and Paolo. His parents — father Tony, a retired construction foreman with Bosa Construction Inc., and mother Elsa, a retired high school teacher — put him in classical piano lessons as a youngster.

“It was my foundation for my musical knowledge, but I didn’t like it one bit,” he said. “I didn’t understand the power of music.”

He credits his guitar teacher Sandro Camerin for stoking his love of music at age 11 when he starting learning jazz guitar.

“I thought guitar was cool,” he said. “I started seeing the power of music and how much people loved it.”

He also cites the influence of his Burnaby North band and jazz teacher In-

grid Balchen.

“I was fortunate to have two incredibly passionate and wonderful music teachers who gave me this foundation in life,” said Fogale. “It was a huge foundation under my feet; it was really special, and I feel lucky to have grown up in this beautiful city.”

Fogale dropped out of

UBC when he realized that music was his true passion. “I never thought I’d be a musician,” he said.

“At UBC, I started leaning on music more, and I fell head first in writing songs; I needed it so badly, and I felt so connected to it.

“And 10 years on, it is still so mysterious to me how it came about; it was

so enjoyable,” he said. “I felt this dependency on songs when I felt alone and purposelessness.”

Fogale’s musical influences include Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. His intensely personal lyrics are delivered by his heartfelt, soulful voice that draws the listener into the music.

A self-taught singer,

Fogale jokes that he has “singers in my DNA,” noting that his mother, grandmother, his aunts and his sister have all sung in the Italian Choir of B.C. “It makes me feel so great to watch them perform,” he said.

Fogale has no regrets about dropping out of UBC to pursue a musical career.

“I find it so overwhelmingly mysterious that we try to find things that are right for us,” he said. “I feel like I’m scratching the surface; there is an endless amount of music and it’s got a bit of magnetism — if you put it out, people will find it. I equate it to a good conversation with people you trust.”

Fogale has developed a loyal fan base by playing more than 600 shows touring in Canada, the U.S., Australia and Japan before the pandemic. He has been the opening act for Dermot Kennedy, Serena Ryder, Hayden, Frazey Ford and others.

He will tour the U.K. in early May before attending the Junos, hosted by Canadian film and TV star Simu Liu. Fogale’s music has shown up on Grey’s Anatomy, NCIS: Los Angeles and Station 19. His first album, Safety, was released in 2016.

Market could be cooling

Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

While housing prices have spent recent months surging, the market may be showing signs of slowing down, including in Burnaby.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver says there were 3,232 home sales last month, which equates to a 34.1% decrease from April 2021 and a 25.6% drop from the 4,344 homes sold in March of this year.

“So far this spring, we’ve seen home sales ease down from the record-breaking pace of the last year,” Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver chair Daniel John said in a news release.

“While a small sample size, the return to a more traditional pace of home sales that we’ve experienced over the last two months provides hopeful

home buyers more time to make decisions, secure financing and perform other due diligence such as home inspections.”

When it comes to listings, there were 6,107 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed on the Multiple Listing Services (MLS) in Metro Vancouver last month, representing a 23.1% decline compared to 7,938 homes listed in April of 2021 and an 8.5% decrease from the 6,673 listed in March 2022.

NEIGHBOOURHOOD DIFFERENCES According to the report, some categories of housing saw small increases in price in Burnaby, while others actually saw a decline.

Residential houses in Burnaby East hit a benchmark price of $1,276,000 last month, which equates to a 0.5% decline com-

pared to March.

Burnaby North is at a benchmark price of 1,285,500 (+1.9% in one month) , while Burnaby South comes in at $1,207,900 (+1.3% in one month).

When it comes to singlefamily detached homes, Burnaby East hit a benchmark price of $1,750,800 (-1.4% in one month), while Burnaby North and South both are more than two million dollars, at $2,048,300 (+1.3% in one month) and $2,127,700 (+2.9%) respectively.

Two Burnaby areas saw a drop in townhouse prices, with Burnaby East at a benchmark price of $816,500 (-1.5% in one month) and Burnaby South at $878,500 (-1.4% in one month).

Burnaby North saw an increase of 4.9% in one month, with a benchmark price of $983,000.
