Citynow TRAGEDY

Video shows moments leading up to crash

to keep them safe from truck traffic in the area.

Local resident Elise Frith told the NOW she had been struck by the rear-view mirror of a truck last November while walking on 11th Avenue near where the 14-year-old girl was killed.

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Security video from a Burnaby construction site near the place where a 14-year-old girl was killed by a dump truck last week has been turned over to police as evidence, according to the developer and primary contractor working at the site.

The Byrne Creek Community School Grade 8 student was struck and killed by the truck last Thursday at about 3:20 p.m. while she was walking home from school on 11th Avenue near 16th Street.

DOG TO BLAME? The NOW has confirmed the dump truck involved was associated with the nearby Southgate City construction project.

Ledingham McAllister and Marcon Construction sent out a statement Monday afternoon saying CCTV video they turned over to police shows a “neighbourhood dog running out of its yard and startling the victim who then tragically ran onto the road.”

The companies suggest the girl ran between the dump truck and its hitched trailer and the driver would not have seen her.

The NOW has confirmed the video footage came from the Southgate City construction site and was turned over to police on the same day as the fatal crash.

Burnaby RCMP, however, is urging people “not to jump to conclusions.”

In a statement Monday afternoon, the detachment said the video shows only “one view of the incident” and investigators are still gathering evidence to determine what happened.

“Police are aware that a dog had been nearby at the time of the collision,” reads the statement. “Investigators are still analyzing all statements and in-

formation; however, there is no indication the dog was behaving dangerously or had previously been the subject of any complaints to police.”

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN CHANGES Ledingham McAllister and Marcon Construction met with city officials Monday morning and agreed to modify the development’s traffic management plan, according

to the statement sent out by the companies.

They say they will shut down a portion of 11th Avenue at the exit of their construction site, meaning trucks will now go west on 11th Avenue instead of east.

“By going west, they will go from 11th Ave to 18th Street, then 18th St to 10th Ave,” states the release.

The companies this week also extended the ex-

isting sidewalk using asphalt on a portion of the south side of 11th Avenue, from 17th Street to 18th Street.

“We are assuming this responsibility from the City of Burnaby because our contractors are already on site and can get this work done quickly,” reads the statement.

Neighbours were outraged after the fatal crash, telling news media the city hasn’t done enough

MAYOR MIKE HURLEY SPEAKS Mayor Mike Hurley talked about the tragedy at a city council meeting Monday.

Since the accident, he said people living in the neighbourhood have voiced concerns about truck traffic.

“They have told us that the high volume of construction traffic on the streets is causing significant stress to their neighbourhood, and they feel unsafe,” Hurley said.

“I want to assure them that safety is our priority.We will endeavour to work with the neighbourhood immediately, close the gaps on traffic safety, to ensure people can walk through the area and feel safe.”

Hurley stressed the city will work with residents in the area to make that happen.

“I want to assure the residents that we will leave no stone unturned to get it right,” he said.

The NOW has reached out to the city with questions about the traffic management plan and is waiting to hear back.

Funds raised to help family of teen killed in crash Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The 14-year-old Burnaby girl who died after being hit by a dump truck last week had recently moved to Canada from Afghanistan with her family in search of a “better future,” according to the organizers of an online

fundraiser for the family.

“She was known to be generous, kind, loving and the eldest of her siblings, helping her mother with all that was required in the home while also keeping her dreams alive,” states a write-up on a GoFundMe page that went up Sunday.

“Her new life was filled with new friends, a new

school, new neighbors and a new city, and she was so proud to have arrived in Canada with so many hopes.”

The Byrne Creek Community School Grade 8 student was walking home from school last Thursday at about 3:20 p.m. when she was struck and killed on 11th Avenue near 16th

Street by a dump truck associated with the nearby Southgate City construction site.

The driver, a 57-yearold man from outside of Burnaby, is cooperating with police and an investigation into what caused the crash is ongoing, according to RCMP. The GoFundMe cam-

paign was launched to help support the girl’s family.

“This tragedy has left her entire family and community in utter shock and despair. She leaves behind her father, mother, five siblings and a community of loved ones who continue to mourn her loss,” states the GoFundMe

page.

As of Tuesday morning, the campaign had raised more than $33,000 of its $30,000 goal.

The 14-year-old’s funeral was held Monday, beginning with a service at the Masjid al Salaam and Education Centre on Canada Way.

Burnaby school board saves elementary band classes Board members reject cuts to band, SOGI support and daytime custodians in elementary schools

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school district’s elementary band classes will live to toot toot, ting-a-ling, rat-a-tat and wah wah for another year after the school board rejected proposed cuts to the program in next year’s budget.

Trustees passed the 2022/23 Burnaby school district budget on April 26.

To avoid dipping too deeply into reserve funds to balance the financial plan, staff had initially proposed $2.25 million (or

17.91 full-time equivalent positions) in cuts, including either eliminating the Grade 7 band program or reducing the number of classes from twice a week to once a week, according to a presentation by secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill.

The proposed adjustments also included cutting elementary daytime custodial services by 3.5 full-time equivalent positions and SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) support for the staff development team by .37 FTE. After about a month of

Maintaining the status quo budget would leave us with a shortfall within a few years. consultations with parents, students and employee groups, however, the school board directed staff to take out the proposed cuts to elementary band, SOGI support and daytime custodial services for elementary schools.

The preliminary operating budget approved last month ended up including 11.24 FTE in cuts (repre-

senting a cost reduction of $1,555,062) spread across the district.

But that still left a $4,942,616 shortfall that will now have to be taken from the district’s surplus funds.

“In our new reality and with a recovering international education program, maintaining the status quo budget would leave us with a shortfall within a few years,” board chair Jen Mezei said at the meeting. “This year, trustees

Opinion now MY VIEW JAMIE IRVING

Topic: Heavy trucks on residential streets

Across the world, municipalities and provinces have been moving their recycling programs to extended producer responsibility (EPR). EPR is great in theory and practice. It levies fees on manufacturers and retailers for the packaging that wraps everything from the food we eat to the toys our kids play with. Any parent who has helped their child open a new toy knows that between the thick plastic that practically takes garden shears to open, the twist ties, and the cardboard, there is still way too much wasteful packaging.

EPR has one laudable objective: Reduce packaging in the waste/recycling stream. It does so by shifting the burden of recycling costs from taxpayers to producers.When producers must pay these fees, they innovate and find ways to wrap their products in far less packaging.

Since the advent of the blue box, newspapers have had the highest level of collection of all recyclable materials. Newspapers continue to be a valuable recovered resource in the recycling stream.They have a stable end market and high commercial value. And recycling newspapers saves trees.

Newspapers have always been a public good – The dissemination of news to the public is a necessary element of a vibrant and healthy democracy and a well-functioning society. Fake news – around COVID-19, elections, and many other issues – has highlighted the importance and value of credible news provided by trusted media sources. Newspapers allow the reader to pause, engage, and reflect – providing an important service that is not met through other media.

So, what does any of this have to do with extended producer responsibility?

Until recently in On-

“Large trucks should be banned during busy hours like 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., then 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Many people are out in the streets and they run dangerously.”

“This is a very real issue.With all the condo development, these dump trucks are now a regular feature on Burnaby residential streets.You would have to ban condo construction during the daytime. Residents need better protection.”

Chris Huerra

Mark O’Meara

Newspapers are not packaging

tario, the EPR program in most provinces of Canada has treated newspapers the same as waste packaging. Unlike product packaging, the newspaper is the product. Publishers have moved to thinner paper to lower our footprint. Driving up the cost of newspaper production with EPR fees drives down the content as newspapers are forced to cut pages and, therefore, value to readers.

The knock-on effects are a loss of jobs, many of which are unionized, in a sector that is already facing many external challenges, and a less informed citizenry.

Across Canada, newspapers face a patchwork of provincial regulations, administrative regimes, and fees.The levies charged are based on opaque formulas often devised by monopolies controlled by waste haulers, retailers, and consumer packaged goods companies. In British Columbia, for example, the levy on newsprint went up by 80 per cent in a single year, while the levy on plastics remained flat.

That’s not fair.

We cannot have a misguided system that puts newspapers at risk at a time when the public needs trusted sources of information more than ever before.The unintended consequences of EPR on newspapers are to reduce the number of pages in a newspaper or for the paper to simply close.

Recently, the Ontario government issued a regulation that will exempt newspapers from EPR levies in the province. Canada’s newspaper publishers applaud this change, and we hope other provinces will follow Ontario’s lead.

We hope Premier Jason Kenney and Premier John Horgan will exempt newspapers.

Thieves steal beloved clock

Thieves could have taken everything in Rocky Giovinazzo’s store, and it would have been covered by insurance, but they took the one thing insurance couldn’t replace: a 65-year-old clock that had hung in the window of Rocky’s Meats on Hastings Street. The timepiece had been given to him by the previous proprietor 36 years earlier and customers would drop in to check the time. “I would hope the person who stole it would have a soft spot in their heart and return it, no questions asked,” Giovinazzo said after the theft.

Opinionnow We shouldn’t let children die on local streets for the sake of progress Editor: An open letter to Burnaby council: I’m writing to you as a concerned resident of the Vancouver Metro area, as a Vancouver elementary school teacher, and as a colleague of someone with children attending Byrne Creek Community School.

My concern is that the priorities in both of our cities have tipped too far to the favour of rapid development and that the tragedy that occurred Thursday near Byrne Creek Community School, wherein a child lost her life, gives us an undeniable example of how far we’ve gone.

I’m asking you to consider what you’re willing to let us, the residents of these cities who statistically are unlikely to be able to afford the residential properties being developed, sacrifice? When will it slow down? Only after our children are literally left for dead on the streets and the developers have returned to their homes out of B.C./Canada with their profits?

I know that this was a terrible accident and that there were many immediate factors that may have contributed to this child’s passing (weather, traffic, etc). But I cannot help looking at the big picture as I pass dozens of students

walking home from school crossing the paths of trucks just trying to do the work they’ve been hired to do. I see it on a daily basis as I cycle commute to and from my workplace (an elementary school in East Van) to my home (East Van).

I do not need a reply as I know you’re busy, but I wanted to let you know that we’re watching and we are aware. We see the big picture, the changes, and what is sacrificed as a means to an end.

We know our place in all of it but we also know that we are unwilling to let our children die for the sake of progress.

Elizabeth Winston, Vancouver

Kudos to city staff

Editor: To Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley: I would like to thank the Burnaby parks department for their hard work during the snowfall and rainfall this winter.

My husband and me are new immigrants to Burnaby and would like to pass on a thank you to everyone who has helped keep Burnaby Mountain safe. Every day we walk up the hill to mountain restaurant area and we see the parks caretaker keeping the park clean and safe.

This makes us very proud to be new citizens of Burnaby.

Most of the drivers caught for excessive speeding during a recent enforcement blitz in Burnaby still had their “N” licences.

Burnaby RCMP traffic enforcement officers set up on Royal Oak Avenue near Deer Lake Parkway on April 28 looking for drivers going more than 40 km/h over the 50 km/h speed limit.

Four of the seven drivers they caught ended up being new drivers under B.C.’s graduated licensing program.

An “N” driver also

clocked the highest speed, blowing by at 106 km/h.

“It is disappointing to see drivers putting others at risk through their decisions behind the wheel,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in a news release.

“It’s especially troubling to see inexperienced drivers travelling at dangerous speeds on our roads.”

Mounties also pulled over another driver going 94 km/h who ended up failing a pair of roadside tests for impaired driving, according to the release.

He was handed a 90day driving prohibition and his vehicle will be impounded for 30 days.

Community now Art exhibition a showcase of diverse abilities Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Seeing your art up on a classroom wall or your parents’ fridge is one thing, but seeing it mounted in a sleekYaletown art exhibit comes with a whole new level of joy and pride, That’s an experience a group of Burnaby students got last week thanks to a first-of-its-kind art show conceived by Burnaby North Secondary teacher Judy Chiao.

The Building a Better Tomorrow through Art: I Can exhibit showcased art from students with diverse abilities in a one-week show at the Roundhouse Exhibition Hall in Vancouver last week.

In all, 11 schools from Burnaby, New Westminster and Vancouver participated, and a sold-out re-

ception on Friday drew 300 people.

“To see that they can aspire and to see that they can dream – and then to see it in actuality in front of them shows the students that they absolutely can achieve,” Chiao said of the student artists.

program for students with diverse abilities, said she wanted to create a way for schools from multiple districts to “connect, create and build a platform for our students with diverse needs that will support visibility within our community.”

Teachers in the three districts shared her vision, she said, and the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre in Yaletown stepped up to help.

“Not only did they provide an incredible space for the showcase of the artwork, the team at the Roundhouse decided to make this project a partnership,” Chiao said.

“They brought together visual artists and technicians for installation and lighting to transform the exhibition hall at the Roundhouse into a cu-

The final product, which featured 101 pieces from 93 students, including artists from Burnaby North, Alpha, Burnaby Central, Byrne Creek, Cariboo Hill and Moscrop secondary schools, was on display throughout BC Youth Week last week.

For Chiao, one of the many highlights was watching the reactions of the artists’ parents.

“The parents who were at the event were so happy and excited to be in a space that is beautiful and polished and celebrating their children,” she said.

“A lot of times I think the families feel quite isolated

Community now Stratas must keep sharing pool, amenities, judge rules Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby strata’s attempt to unilaterally end a 34-year-old agreement to share the use and cost of a squash court, exercise room, swimming pool, tennis court and other amenities with its neigh-

bour has been kiboshed by a B.C. Supreme Court judge.

For 34 years, the folks living at the Harrington apartment highrise at 3970 Carrigan Court could head over to Discovery Place next door at 3980 Carrigan Court, to play squash, work out

in the exercise room and swim in the pool, according to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling by Justice Steven Wilson in March.

The Discovery Place folks, meanwhile, could head to the Harrington to play tennis.

For more than 30 years, the two stratas shared the

use and cost of keeping up the amenities as per a 1985 covenant signed between the developer, Lougheed Garden Estates Phase II Ltd., and the City of Burnaby.

But the Harrington folks decided end all that on March 7, 2019.

eral meeting, the strata adopted a resolution to end the agreement, and gave Discovery Place notice of the termination following that meeting.

The Discovery Place people didn’t like that one bit and took their concerns to B.C. Supreme Court, petitioning the court to declare the 1985 covenant is a “current, subsisting, and binding agreement” on all the parties and subsequent successors in title.

Discovery Place suggested the timing of the Harrington’s notice was likely tied to the fact the Discovery Place facilities needed “substantial repair” since they are now more than 30 years old and have seen “significant usage” over the years – including by the Harrington folks.

The City of Burnaby, which was named as a respondent in the case, provided a letter to the court, confirming the 1985 covenant had been a condition of its approval of the development.

“As a condition of that subdivision approval, a Section 219 Covenant was registered on the properties to ensure that both properties continued to function as one integrated development, including all existing on-site amenity facilities,” stated the letter.

“As such, these amenity facilities must be maintained as stated…”

The letter goes on to say the covenant could only be amended with City of Burnaby approval and any amendment would require amenities “of similar or better quality.”

The Harrington argued the covenant wasn’t enforceable against “successors in title” (i.e. the current strata owners) under B.C. law.

And, if the court found the Harrington and Discovery Place were bound by a “post-incorporation contract,” Harrington argued all it would have to do to end it would be to

give “reasonable notice,” which it argued it had.

Justice Wilson agreed Discovery Place, as a successor in title, couldn’t enforce the covenant but ruled the parties had entered into a post-incorporation contract on the same terms as the covenant.

The evidence, he said, was that the parties have “acted in a manner that is wholly consistent with the Covenant from inception and until March 19, 2019,” the day the Harrington announced it was terminating the agreement.

Wilson also concluded neither the Harrington nor Discovery Place was entitled to terminate the agreement unilaterally.

He gave three reasons for the ruling.

First, he said, the agreement is on the same terms as the original covenant, and there is no language in the covenant about termination.

“The registration against land will remain registered, absent cancellation, against the titles to the two properties in perpetuity,” states the ruling.

Second, because of the interconnected nature and unique circumstances, including physical proximity, between the Harrington and Discovery Place, Wilson said Discovery Place wouldn’t be able to enter into an alternative arrangement with another entity.

Third, both the Harrington and Discovery Place would still have obligations to the city under the original covenant, including maintenance of the amenities, even if the agreement between the two parties was terminated – and the city has said it would only consent to an amendment of the covenant if the change involved similar or better amenities and had been approved by both strata corporations.

Citynow Burnaby condo owner loses battle over noise from upstairs neighbour

PLANT SALE Saturday May 14th and Sunday May 15th, 2022

Neighbour said daughter was just playing Barbies Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby condo owner has lost a bid to get relief from the “non-stop” “cracking, thumping, running, jumping and creeping sounds” coming from the apartment above him.

Last May, Stephen Ross’s upstairs neighbour at the Mountain Wood strata off Beaverbrook Crescent took out the carpet in her living area and hallway and replaced it with laminate flooring, according to a ruling by the Civil Resolution Tribunal last week.

After the new flooring was put in, however, Ross said the “acoustics doubled over night,” according to the ruling.

“He said he heard ‘a lot of cracking, thumping, running, jumping and creeping sounds.’ He said the cracking was non-stop and he could hear (the unit’s) residents walk, run and jump. He said he had lived in (his unit) for 17 years and never had this noise transfer since 2004.”

Ross complained to the strata, which arranged for formal acoustic engineering testing, but the engineer who co-authored the report concluded the sound insulation under the floor met the minimum requirements of the BC Building Code.

Sympathetically, however, the engineer also noted those requirements are “clearly not adequate in many circumstances” to satisfy all occupants.

After the report, the strata told Ross it had concluded the flooring had been installed properly and it wouldn’t be taking any further action.

Ross’s frustrations culminated in a series of texts with his upstairs neighbour, Gabi Boswell, to-

ward the end of July.

“In them, Mr. Ross advised Ms. Boswell that his family was emotionally drained from all the noise of cracking, thumping and running,” stated the ruling. “Ms. Boswell responded that her daughter was playing Barbies on the floor with her friend and there was nothing else going on to cause noise.”

By that time, Ross had already applied to the Civil Resolution Tribunal for an order forcing the strata to have the floors replaced and to pay him $8,000 for loss of enjoyment of his property because of the

The test is whether the noise itself is objectively intolerable to an ordinary person

noise.

Ross filed sound recordings and noise logs as evidence of the noise, but tribunal member Leah Volkers was unconvinced.

She said the recordings did capture sounds coming from the upstairs apartment but didn’t reflect “constant, loud or excessive sounds” and didn’t prove the sound was “intolerable,” which is the threshold necessary for a nuisance finding.

“I also find the timing of the recordings shows that the sounds often occurred in the morning and evening, when residents would typically be moving about their strata lot,” Volkers said in her May 4 ruling.

Ross also filed a number of witness statements that described lots of noise coming from the upstairs apartment.

One witness said a child running around upstairs “sounded like an earthquake” and dropped items made “loud booms.”

Another witness spoke of “a pet playing, keys dropping, residents walking across the floor, the floor cracking and popping.”

But Volkers notes the witness statements were mostly provided by Ross’s friends and family and “not entirely objective.”

“While I accept that there was increased noise in (Ross’s unit) following the flooring alterations in (the upstairs apartment), I find the witness statements do not establish that the increased noise was objectively intolerable,”Volkers concluded.

For objective evidence, she said she put “significant weight” on the engineering report that determined the new floor met minimum requirements.

Volkers wasn’t without sympathy for Ross, who lives with his spouse and a daughter with autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but she ultimately dismissed the case.

“I acknowledge that the increased noise has been particularly bothersome to Mr. Ross, his partner, and their daughter, because of (their daughter’s) autism diagnosis,” she said. “However, the test for nuisance is not whether there is increased noise with laminate flooring than there was with the previously carpeted floor.

Rather, as noted, the test is whether the noise itself is objectively intolerable to an ordinary person.”

A plant-based dyed textile art show started at Deer Lake Art Gallery last Saturday.

The exhibition is a collection of works by the EastVancouver-based Colour Me Local Dyers’ Guild.

JasmineWu, the Deer Lake Art Gallery coordinator and interim executive director for the Burnaby Arts Council, said the show is a celebration of nature through textiles.

“They’re really focusing on the beauty of nature through fabric and textiles,”Wu said. “This show really demonstrates the different artists’ unique perspectives, and their processes and approaches,” she said. “But, also, there is cohesion, in that they share plants and similar themes.”

The show will include 2D and 3D works, including a 360-degree sculp-

tural piece.

Varsha Gill, the eco-arts programs manager at Still Moon Arts Society which runs the dyers’ guild, said the pieces in the show are representative of sustainable eco-arts practice, with ethically sourced fabrics and locally grown plant material to make natural dyes.

“Natural dyeing is art, but it’s also chemistry and, honestly, it’s also kind of magic where you might do everything the exact same, but never get fully the same results,” Gill said.

Gill’s fibre art is in-

formed by her interest in and study of multiple Indian textile traditions.

Natural dyes can be made from indigo leaves (for blue), pomegranate skins (for yellow) and iron rust (which Gill says saddens colours and makes greys, browns and blacks) The show features work from six artists in the dyers’ guild, including Bea Miller, Carmen Rosen, Sara Irving,Varsha Gill, Julia Zinovjeva and JanuaryWolodarsky.

The show runs until June 11 at 6584 Deer Lake Ave.

Community now Burnaby residents keen on laneway houses: survey lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

Burnaby residents are very interested in living in and building laneway homes, according to a new city survey.

Almost 60% of survey respondents said they would be interested in living in a laneway home, and almost 70% said they had an interest in building a laneway home.

Laneway homes, which are smaller homes built in the backyard of a main house, are not currently permitted in Burnaby, though the survey is part of the city’s plan to begin allowing their construction.

Those hoping to build a laneway mostly reasoned they wanted to use it for family, or to rent it to others.

The survey is part of the

new Burnaby’s Housing Choices program, which intends to introduce housing options to the city in between single-family homes and apartments and condos.

With 2,550 survey responses, the city reported it was the highest number of responses received from any city survey.

Laneways are particularly attractive to renters and youth, with 79% of renters, 92% of 18 to 24-year-olds and 72% of 25 to 34-year-olds expressing interest in living in a laneway.

Laneway homes with two or three or more bedrooms also garnered significant support: 50% of respondents said two bedrooms should be permitted, while an additional 31% supported three or more bedrooms.

Two-storey laneways

were the most popular option (40%), followed by two-and-a-half storeys (33%).

This is despite some Burnaby residents’ disapproval of two-storey laneways.The report said support for multiple-storey laneway homes was higher among younger respondents and decreased as respondents got older.

Over two-thirds of respondents supported reducing off-street parking requirements for properties with a laneway.

Suites in semi-detached homes received slightly less positive feedback, with 46% of respondents expressing interest in living in a suite in a semi-detached home and 51% expressing interest in building such a suite.

Permitting other types of housing choices, such as single-family homes with

Burnaby plans wall of fame The City of Burnaby is considering creating a “next level” interactive wall of fame mural to honour local residents who have achieved success through the arts, culture, sports and entertainment.

A city staff report presented to the executive committee of council de-

tailed the project, which would be about 200-feet long and honour such people as soccer superstar Christine Sinclair, actor Michael J. Fox, singer Michael Buble, actor Carrie Ann Moss, punk band DOA and NHL legend Joe Sakic.

The proposed location

for the mural project is adjacent to the entrance of Royal Oak SkyTrain station at 6976 Palm Ave., which in turn results in the art being visible to SkyTrain passengers, vehicle commuters, pedestrians and users of the BC Parkways path.

“The 200-foot-long mural will be created on a wall that is currently one of Burnaby’s most active illegal graffiti locations,” said the report.

Based on preliminary estimates, the cost of the mural painting and digital media is estimated at approximately $110,000, which includes $30,000 for costs associated with mural preparation/painting and $80,000 for digital art and augmented reality content creation.

“The joint property owners have also ex-

pressed interest in providing some funding to this project, as have other organizations within the community,” said the report. “Robust discussions with community partners will commence should staff receive approval to develop this project further.”

The report recommends setting up a selection committee of staff, politicians and community members to develop a list of prospective “Burnaby stars” to go on the mural.

“The Burnaby Wall of Fame project is an opportunity to not only celebrate, but also interactively demonstrate, tremendous achievements of individuals with close ties to our community,” says the report.

Community now It’s a Forest Fairy Gathering, and you’re invited lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

Fairies will flutter into Burnaby Lake Regional Park for a whimsical gathering of mirth and magic on Saturday, May 21.

Metro Vancouver is hosting the popular Forest Fairy Gathering event, hoping to encourage children to use their imaginations and play in nature.

Guests are encouraged to dress up as fairies, gnomes or woodland creatures. Children can build fairy homes and participate in the Elf Olympics (which includes a trail walk).

Mona Matson, a special events assistant at Metro Vancouver Regional Parks who is coordinating the event, said fairies are symbols of spirits that protect nature.

“By exploring the realm

of fairies and gnomes, it helps to inspire nature protection, as well as connection,” Matson said.

She noted that regional parks have a mission to connect people with nature, in order to lead people to care for the parks in return.

It helps to inspire nature protection

“We try to bring people together to have a shared experience in the park, to get excited about nature and wildlife so that people want to learn more and then become stewards of the parks themselves,” Matson said.

Irene Lau, chair of the Burnaby Lake Park As-

sociation, called the event “magical.”

“It’s a really fantastic event in the sense that you really get kids interested in nature at a really young age,” Lau said. She said the park association helps teach children about invasive species, like English ivy.

This is the first year since the pandemic that the event is back to its full capacity.The first fairy gathering event was held in 2013.

In past years, Matson has dressed up as a forest gnome in a red polka-dot dress, striped tights and mushroom accessories.

“We want to have places for people to recreate and enjoy the park, but it’s also much more about protecting the ecosystems and nature,” Matson said.

The Burnaby Public Library will also host two

Community now Metro Vancouver buys property to expand Burnaby park Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

Metro Vancouver has purchased a private prop-

erty on Eagle Creek in Burnaby Lake Regional Park for $2.3 million.

The one-acre property sits atop a section of Ea-

gle Creek, and is located across the road from the Burnaby Lake Nature House at 4519 Piper Ave. Metro Vancouver, which

manages the park, said the acquisition is a chance for ecological restoration and enhancement.

Salmon use Eagle Creek

extensively for spawning.

Markus Merkens, a natural resource management specialist for Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, said the purchased land contains important habitat opportunities for the park.

The creek is also home to cutthroat trout, crayfish and various insects which are a food source to fish.

“The diversity of species that are within Burnaby Lake are still quite significant and continue to exist even with all the pressures of ... the urban landscape around them,” Merkens said.

Metro Vancouver will further examine how re-

storing the land can fit into improving the ecological health of the park.

It hopes to reduce the invasive plant species on the property, including English ivy, Japanese knotweed, Himalayan blackberries and yellow lamium. It intends to provide shade to the creek, to ensure the water is cool enough for fish to live.

There is potential for the site to include public use.

Currently, there is a house on the property which will be deconstructed.

The purchase was completed in February 2022.

At the reception desk of my Burnaby medical clinic - but not visible to my patients – is a sign that says:Treat every patient as a friend or member of your family.

It captures my golden rule of practice:Treat each patient with the same care and consideration I would want for a member of my family.

Most people don’t really understand primary care and the role of the traditional family doctor.They might think of primary care as your first stop on your way to secondary or tertiary care – that family doctors only treat simple medical problems and refer you to a specialist or sub-specialist for particular medical conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis, acne, migraines or gastrointestinal symptoms.

My work includes the whole range of medical conditions over the entire

to my two patients over 100.

Moreover, traditional family doctors don’t just treat the problems that patients present for an appointment as they might to a walk-in clinic: an injury, an infection or bothersome symptoms.

I review each patient’s electronic chart before every visit and anticipate proactive and preventive care (important screening tests and checkups relevant to their total health).

In addition to assessing and managing their presenting problems, I advise patients on what we should do to manage the rest of their health based on their age, personal health history, chronic conditions and family history.

We are advocates for our patients to meet the challenges of their lives – and the challenges of the health-care system.

Without a personal family doctor on your side, your health care becomes

piecemeal, and no single professional takes responsibility to help you navigate the medical system to access the care you need when you need it.

My medical office assistant, Christina, shares that advocacy role with me and does her utmost to arrange the necessary investigations, such as diagnostic mammograms and specialist consultations as soon as possible even if that requires making many extra phone calls.

The traditional family doctor has a special perspective – your perspective.We don’t treat disease.We care for the whole person and only see medical conditions in the context of your life, your goals and your values.

Traditional family practice is now in a crisis. In 2013, 176,000 British Columbians did not have a family physician.Today, that number is nearly 900,000; one in five British Columbians are not able to get a family doctor.

May 19 is B.C. Family Doctor Day.

All members of our community are welcome to celebrate our Burnaby family physicians at an event hosted by the Burnaby Division of Family Practice from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Neighbourhood Church parking lot (formally Southside Community Church) at 7135 Walker Ave. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the commitment of my colleagues to their patients and community and to learn more about primary care in Burnaby.

We have over 370 family physicians working in a variety of places in our community.

You will meet me and other Burnaby family physicians, learn about how the Division of Family Practice is working to improve health services for the Burnaby community and, yes, there will be food.

For Burnaby residents without a family physician, there will be registration table where you can sign up to be matched with a family physician.

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

BAKER, Elaine Frances 1939 - 2022

SIBA, Thomas June 19, 1948 - April 22, 2022 Well-known community leader, newspaper man, husband, father and grandad, Tom Siba died peacefully on April 22. His last years had been impacted by dementia.

Tom was predeceased by his parents Mary Schneider and Thomas Siba, brother Frank Siba and sisters Rose Marie Dobson and Anne Beesinger.

He is survived by his wife of nearly 46 years Kathleen, son David (Cheryl), grandsons Cohen and Lucas, daughter Heather, brother Ed Schneider (Susan), as well as in-laws, nieces and nephews across Canada.

Tom was born in Winnipeg and frequently returned to his hometown where family members still reside. In spite of living in B.C., he remained loyal to his roots as a Jets fan.

Tom left a treasure for his family with a detailed essay about his early life. He and his siblings were raised by their mother who earned a living running a boarding house and cleaning homes. He remembered summer visits to his grandparents’ farm outside the city.

As a young boy, a friend with more money used to buy him milkshakes, leading to a life-long love of the drink. Tom was frequently top of his class in elementary school and academics came easy to him. He couldn’t skate so he joined a hockey team and played goal. Not many people wanted that position so he was able to compete for several years at it. Like many youngsters, his first job was delivering newspapers and his routes provided money to eventually finance his way through university which he called “the golden years.” It was there while pursuing his degree that he met the Commerce Vigilantes. The 12 friends had a 20th reunion in 1990 and had planned a 50th in Las Vegas in 2020 that was cancelled due to COVID.

BERGER, Werner Erwin (Joe) 1941 - 2022 Joe passed away peacefully May 2, 2022 at St. Michael’s Hospice. Joe was born in Rothenburg ob der tauber, Germany in 1941 and immigrated to Canada in the late 1950’s.

Joe was predeceased by his daughter Maria, his sister Edith and parents Frieda and Erwin and will be deeply missed by his family. Joe leaves behind his beloved wife, Shelley and son Michael.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, May 16th at 9:30 am at St. Peter’s Church (330 Royal Avenue, New Westminster).

Condolences may be offered at www.kearneyfs.com Kearney Columbia-Bowell Chapel 604-521-4881

His working career started with Arthur Anderson and Company in Winnipeg and he was transferred to Vancouver in 1974. There he met Kathleen and on their first date they danced to “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” which became their song. The couple lived in Campbell River and Port Hardy before moving to Tsawwassen, where Tom joined Madison Group in 1978. Until his retirement, he remained part of that company which acquired a myriad of businesses, including newspapers, over the next several decades.

Tom is remembered as a man who worked hard for his family and community.

ORME, Evaline J. May 17, 1937 - December 31, 2021

Welcoming two grandsons into his life, Tom enjoyed White Spot milkshakes with them, laughing at the antics of Cohen from the time of his birth in 2018 and sharing his dry wit with teen Lucas during family visits. He also enjoyed a glass of local Four Winds beer or Crown Royal and cigar with friends. He loved the water; whether on his sailboat, aboard a cruise ship exploring the world or at his vacation home in Turks and Caicos. As a couple or a family with David and Heather, the Sibas visited many parts of the world. An avid reader, that interest started early in life when he especially loved to read his brother’s history books.

Caledonia (Ontario) farm: Daughter, sister (4 siblings), granddaughter, niece, square dancer, piano player, knitter, sewer, 4H club, churchgoer, student nurse, marriage, wife, widow.

A resident of Tsawwassen for 44 years, Tom volunteered for many community and professional organizations, often taking a leadership role or serving in any capacity required.

They include The Rotary Club of Ladner, Scouts Canada District president 1993-97, Reach Child and Development Society and Reach Foundation, Delta Community Foundation, Ladner and Tsawwassen Business Associations, Delta Heritage Museum and Lower Mainland Better Business Bureau. Both Tom and Kathleen were welcome at fundraisers where they enthusiastically bid on numerous silent auction items.

North Vancouver house: Wife, mother (2 girls), divorce, single parent, nurse, quilter, home renovator, traveller (5 continents), artist, (coloured pencils, stained glass, watercolour, photography), language learner, volunteer, adventurer (canoe, RV camping, hiking), lover, grandmother (girl + boy).

Tom spent 25 years in the community newspaper industry, running several Lower Mainland newspapers and publications for Glacier Media and specifically as publisher of Delta Optimist for 15+ years. It is only fitting he was also involved provincially and nationally, as a BC and Yukon Community Newspapers Association Director for many years and as a BC Director on Canadian Community Newspapers Association Board. He served as BCY President in 1991-92.

New Westminster apartment: volunteer, churchgoer, piano player, riverfront walker, knitter, sewer.

Cancer fighter.

Loved and missed.

The family is grateful to the staff at Delta View Care Centre, where Tom lived out the final time of his life.

Two Celebrations of Life will be held; first at the Coast Tsawwassen, 1665 - 56th St, in Tsawwassen, B.C., on Friday, May 27th from 3:00pm to 5:00pm, and a second in Winnipeg at the Fort Garry Hotel, Sunday, June 26 from 2:00-4:00pm.

Please RSVP to: sibakathleen@gmail.com In lieu of flowers, Tom’s family asks that donations be made to either Reach Child and Youth Development, reachdevelopment.org; Delta Community Foundation, deltafoundation.org; or Backpack Buddies, backpackbuddies.ca

As you share the stories and the memories of how they lived their lives and how very much they meant, may you find comfort...

It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of Elaine Frances Baker (nee Penney). With her devoted husband by her side, Elaine passed away in the early morning hours of April 18th, 2022 at Penticton Regional Hospital, following a long battle with kidney disease.

Elaine is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Ken, daughters Robin-Lynn (Len) and Anne-Marie (Ron), grandchildren April and Shelby, sisters Patricia and Darlene, sister-in-law Jean (Lorne), brother-in-law Hugh (Carol) and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. She was predeceased by brothers Mike in 1995, Alan in 2016, and her mother Irene in 2004.

Born in Vernon, BC, Elaine grew up in/around BC’s interior and New Westminster. In her youth, she excelled in many sports, including basketball, track and field and was an exceptional softball player. At 15, Elaine joined North Vancouver’s Crowhurst Motor Senior A softball team, a core member of elite players that would then become the trail-blazing South Hill Queens in 1959. In the early 60’s Elaine moved to Victoria where she played for The Vic-Ettes and pursued her career as a hairdresser. She returned to the lower mainland in 1966 where she played out the remainder of her softball career with the Senior A Texaco’s, ending the 1967 season with a Provincial Championship win and participated in the National Championships. Elaine would meet the love of her life Ken on a blind date on New Years Eve 1966. Married in 1968, the loving couple would live in Powell River and Kitimat, eventually settling on the 1500 block of Dublin Street in New Westminster, where they raised their two children and lived for over 30 years. Throughout those years Elaine was actively involved in volunteering with her children’s sporting activities, coaching them and other children in track and field and softball. After retiring in 2008, Elaine and Ken relocated to Penticton BC where she enjoyed gardening, watching sports and keeping up with family and friends, especially her beloved grandchildren. In October 2018, Elaine was inducted into the BC Softball Hall of Fame (Team Category) as a member of the South Hill Queens (1959-1961), a moment we are all very proud of.

Elaine was a formidable athlete, devoted and beloved wife, caring and compassionate mother and grandmother. Overall, she was an exceptional human who was always willing to give her time, love and support to all those in her family and beyond.

Her love and spirit will forever live on and be felt by all those who knew her and loved her in return.

A Celebration Of Life will be held in Penticton, BC on Saturday, July 16, 2022. Please email robinlynn6@gmail.com for complete details.

The family wishes to thank the nurses of the In-Patient Medical Unit on the 6th floor at PRH for their kindness and compassionate care for Elaine and her family. We also extend our thanks to Doctors Bordeau, Bursey and Ingram and to the staff of PRH’s Renal Unit. We are eternally grateful.

The family would appreciate that any In Memoriam donations be made to the Kidney Foundation of Canada - BC/Yukon Branch, or the Penticton Hospital Auxiliary. www.kidney.ca or www.pentictonhospitalauxiliary.com Condolences may be shared by visiting everdenrust.com
