WorkSafeBC and the BC Coroners Service are investigating the death of a worker at a major warehouse construction site in Burnaby’s Big Bend area last month. Emergency crews were called to 5255 N Fraser Way at 2:30 p.m. on May 23 for reports of a workplace accident, according assistant fire Chief Derek Masaro. “The patient had fallen from a 50-foot construction platform,” he said. The man sustained nu-

but firefighters performed CPR and other lifesaving procedures until the ambulance took him away. The coroners service has confirmed it is inves-

A youth was arrested last week for threatening to kill and then trying to stab a police officer, according to Burnaby RCMP. The officer was seated in his parked police vehicle near Hastings Street and Duthie Avenue at about 7 p.m. on June 1 when he was approached by a teen who made offensive gestures at him, according to a Burnaby RCMP news release. “The suspect did this repeatedly, in a blatant attempt to engage with the officer,” stated the release. When the officer stepped out of his vehicle and tried to speak with the youth, police say the suspect threatened to kill the officer. The officer then tried

to arrest the suspect, and a struggle ensued during which the suspect allegedly pulled out a knife and tried to stab the officer, according to the release

The suspect then reportedly fled on foot to a nearby residence. “Based on the erratic behaviour of the suspect and concern for public safety,

the immediate area was locked down as police attempted to negotiate with the suspect and his family,” stated the release. Numerous police vehicles converged on the scene, as well as the emergency response team and a canine unit. Police say the suspect was “uncooperative and continued to behave erratically” for about one hour before surrendering to police at about 8 p.m. “This was a dynamic situation that escalated in just moments, and thankfully no injuries were sustained as a result of this incident,” Burnaby RCMP Supt. Sunny Parmar said in the release. The 15-year-old faces charges of assault with a weapon and uttering threats.

information, but chief operating officer David Pearson said he wasn’t sure there was more the company could add. “Most of the information is coming through the authorities at this time,” he said in an emailed response. “WorksafeBC is investigating the terrible tragedy.”

Metrotown library closed after ﬁre The Metrotown library will be closed for at least a few more days after a shopping-cart fire outside the building set off the sprinkler system inside earlyWednesday morning. Fire crews were called to the library at 6100 Willingdon Ave. at 4:34 a.m. for reports of a building fire, according to assistant fire Chief Darcy Robinson. On arrival, they found smoke coming from the southeast corner of the building. It turned out the contents of a shopping cart parked near a library window had gone up in flames, according to Robinson. “The heat of the cart was too much for the glass and the glass broke,” he said. The fire didn’t spread into the library, but it did set off the sprinkler sys-

tem inside. Chief librarian Beth Davies said the water rained down on the library’s children’s collection, but things could have been worse. “It looks like only one sprinkler actually got set off, so it’s not like the sprinkler system damaged things across the library,” she said. Water also spread along the ground, affecting about half of the first floor, and some smoke got inside, according to Davies. Restoration crews are on scene, and the city is working to get the library open as fast as possible. Davies said the Metrotown branch will be closed for “at least a couple of days and possibly longer.” In the meantime, staff are being redeployed to other branches. – Cornelia Naylor

A proposed wheelchair-accessible addition to a Burnaby seniors’ home received resounding support at a public hearing on May 31, but some neighbours aren’t happy with the project. While many speakers stressed the need for affordable, wheelchair-accessible rental homes in Burnaby, some neighbourhood residents expressed frustration with the current noise from parking lots and garbage trucks. Speakers on both sides expressed deep emotion regarding the project at Seton Villa Retirement Centre (3755 McGill St.). One speaker, whose mother lives at the seniors’ home, called Seton Villa a “magical kingdom” — except for the fact it isn’t

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Liberals’ fortunes have improved

For the first time in almost five years the B.C. Liberals have come out of a legislature session looking much stronger than they did when it started. The spring session ended last week, and I could not help but get the sense the ruling B.C. NDP wanted out of the building as fast as possible. For the past four years, the NDP has had a free ride of sorts in the house. As I have noted here before, the pandemic pushed the usual political issues aside and made it difficult for the Opposition to get much media coverage and, as a result, the public’s attention. That situation, coupled with the fact the party seemed to be in denial for so long that it was no longer in government, meant the B.C. Liberals were dragging their heels for the longest of times (a prominent caucus member told me after Kevin Falcon was voted in as the new party leader that “the trouble with our folks is they don’t realize we are in Opposition”). It appears those gloomy days are decidedly over. The return of Falcon to the legislature to lead the party appears to be a big reason why the dark cloud has lifted off the B.C. Liberal caucus. He is clearly a step or two above the performance of his predecessor, Andrew Wilkinson. Falcon’s aggressive and energetic approach has clearly lit a fire under his caucus. The NDP members privately complain that Falcon is also bombastic, over the top in his attacks and prone to spouting misleading statements. In any event, he has captured the government’s attention in waysWilkinson was unable to accomplish. There were occasional moments of frustration on the NDP side this session, which we haven’t re-

ally seen since the party formed power in 2017. Some of that frustration was shown by Premier John Horgan, who dropped an infamous “f-bomb” in response to some incessant heckling from the B.C. Liberals. As an aside, Horgan did not have the same dominating presence during the past session that he had in previous ones.This is totally understandable, given his treatment for cancer, but he is his government’s number 1 asset, so even a slight slippage can rub off on his caucus. Now, all this is not to suggest the B.C. Liberals have completely escaped the political wilderness when it comes to actually winning elections. The electoral demographics in MetroVancouver — where the majority of electoral ridings are located — are changing quickly (i.e. getting younger and more ethnically diverse) and the B.C. Liberals have yet to show evidence they know how to tap into that electorate. Judging from the makeup of their caucus, the B.C. Liberals tilt much more to the conservative end of the spectrum rather than the liberal end, which may make it harder to make inroads in Metro Vancouver. Horgan is still a popular figure, and the government appears to continue to be more popular than any of the alternatives, despite mounting problems. Yet Falcon and his party can finally take credit for inflicting some political wounds on their adversaries, rather than ending a legislature session by nursing their own. The political playing field has become level again.That seemed a distant possibility when the pandemic began, but here we are. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Renters evicted so landlord can re-rent home “If you’re bringing home less than the fair market value for your property rental, wouldn’t your family suffer? Would you have the funds to put your children in soccer or swimming lessons if you’re out $200 to maybe $600 a month? Would the banks ask you for permission to raise your mortgage rate?”

“It’s literally the law, so yeah. It stays the same, it’s a legal contract. It doesn’t change because the new owner feels like they should be charging more money.”

Gunman arrested at casino

The speedy arrest of a drunken gunman trying to steal a vehicle at the Gateway Casino was held up as proof positive the facility’s security system was stateof-the-art, but it also raised questions about the state of one police officer’s service weapon.The suspect was captured on 160 security cameras wandering through the casino and then trying to steal a car. Security guards responded immediately. At one point, however, the suspect and a police officer both pointed and shot their guns at each other, but neither weapon worked.

Opinionnow Lands should be reserved for use by Burnaby General Hospital Editor: To the mayor and councillors, I represent an informal community group, Friends of Discovery Park, the members of which live in Burnaby neighbourhoods near Discovery Place and Burnaby General Hospital. For the past 30 years we have worked hard to ensure that commercial development in our area was environmentally sensitive and remained in keeping with City of Burnaby community plans. I wish to express concerns about the proposed development of the last piece of 40 acres on the corner of Willingdon and Canada Way. We would now like to request that the mayor and council review the plans for the 40 acres of land at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Canada Way, and to reserve it for an extension to Burnaby General Hospital. With rapid population growth in Burnaby, there is a growing demand for hospital facilities to accommodate the needs of Burnaby residents. We are aware that Burnaby Hospital is currently undergoing expansion, but we are concerned that it will not be long before the

current expansion project is insufficient to meet the demands of a growing population. The current proposed project, which is only steps away from the Highway 1, calls for a shopping centre, film studio, 16 highrises, and more. This construction will impact the already congested traffic on Willingdon Avenue and Canada Way. How can this area handle even more traffic? Recently we received notification of this project and discovered the proposal is to build a huge complex of highrises, a film studio, and shopping centres. A 25-storey building would be out of keeping with the character of this area. We do not want to cause further traffic congestion by adding another film studio to this complex. We need the residents of the area, the students at BCIT and Moscrop Secondary School, the employees of nearby business parks and the Burnaby school board, and people who attend religious services to be able to get to their places of school, work and worship without undue waits in heavy traffic. We are asking you to please review and revise your plan and set aside this land for future extension of Burnaby Hospital. Yours sincerely, Parvin Chami Chair, Friends of Discovery Park, Citizens’ Advisory Committee

more regulated and engaged.

Music therapy is making a difference in the lives of more students in the Burnaby school district’s alternate education programs this year. The idea of music therapy for kids who’ve struggled to find success in traditional classroom settings was first test-run in September 2019 in the district’s Learning Pathways programs for Grade 10 to 12 students. It didn’t take long for school officials to see results. Every time the sessions were offered, attendance spiked, according to Nick Christofides, district principal for safe and caring schools. “We saw increased student engagement and attendance, especially on the days when this was happening,” he said. “In some cases, we had students that hadn’t really felt connected to school, maybe in a long time and maybe not ever.” Student and staff feedback was positive too, according to Christofides, with staff who aren’t in the music therapy program saying the students were

MUSIC THERAPY During the sessions, which can be one-on-one or in small groups, students can listen to music and reflect on it, learn to play an instrument, write and record songs, lay down beats, produce songs and more. “There’s a lot of freedom in it,” said Ariel, a Grade 12 student who’s been taken part for three years. “Anything that we want to do — whether it’s just listening to music or talking about the music industry or the artist, doing recording covers or learning how to play instruments and stuff — it’s completely up to the individual student, which is amazing.” Ariel plays ukulele and sings and is currently doing a music internship with a local company through the district’s music production and technology program. She said music allows her to “release a lot of stress.” But students don’t have to be going into the music business to benefit from the weekly music therapy sessions, according to FeliciaWall, the certified mu-

dents could show off their work and new skills in front of staff and family. More such events are planned for this month.

“There’s something about starting and finishing projects here in music therapy and getting confidence in something like music that makes it so much easier to carry out your other schoolwork by yourself,” Ariel noted. “It gives me a lot more confidence to persevere through the other stuff.” This year, the district introduced music therapy to the Bridge programs for Grade 8 and 9 students at Burnaby North and

Burnaby South secondary schools as well. Christofides is hopeful the sessions are equipping them with skills they can use both inside and outside of the classroom. “When they’re stressed, they can turn to music, and not just when (therapy) is happening,” he said. “Now that they’ve learned to make music and pursue writing lyrics and so forth, that’s an outlet for them, and it’s a piece of their self-care.”

Communitynow Four Burnaby businesses get $11M boost from feds jfedigan@burnabynow.com

Four innovative Burnaby companies in the life sciences, clean technology and digital technology sectors are receiving more than $11 million from Ottawa through the federal PacifiCan program. Harjit Sajjan, federal minister of international development and minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada, made the announcement while touring Kardium Inc.’s Burnaby headquarters on May 31. Kardium Inc. will receive $5 million. “We have spent 15 years developing manufacturing, testing and using the globe system to successfully treat patients,” Kardium Inc. CEO Kevin Chaplin said during the announcement.

The government estimates the funding will help the company add another 350 jobs. Also receiving federal funding is HTEC, a company that designs, builds and operates hydrogen fuel supply solutions to support the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. The company has 17 stations at different stages of operations, development and planning in B.C., Quebec, Alberta and California. Sajjan announced the company would also be provided with $5 million.The company says it plans to build a green hydrogen production facility in Burnaby which will be able to produce 1,000 kilograms of hydrogen per day, which will help support current fueling stations and add additional ones.

“Having designed and built the first hydrogen fueling station network in B.C., HTEC is continuously working on innovative solutions to get us closer to the net-zero goal

by 2050,” HTEC president and CEO Colin Armstrong said. Kobalt Security Inc. will be receiving $530,000 in continuing to provide cyber security programs to

small and medium-sized enterprises. The funding will be used to engage in an expansion of its services into the United States and other English-speaking

countries. It’s expected the expansion would create 60 new jobs. “Kobalt is excited to be partnering with PacifiCan to further accelerate our growth in the U.S. and overseas markets,” CEO and co-founder Michael Argast said. The remaining $650,000 is being provided to Symvivo Corp., a clinical-stage biotechnology company that has developed a bacterial gene delivery platform that uses engineered live bacteria to deliver genetic material into disease sites. With its funding, the company is set to buy and install new equipment, acquire lab materials and hire more staff to expand in-house bio-manufacturing capacity at its Burnaby facility. – with files fromTyler Orton, BIV Offer available to qualifi ed retail customers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba on select in-stock vehicles purchased and delivered in Canada from June 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022. 3.99% purchase fi nancing offered on approved credit by TD Auto Finance Services, Scotiabank® or RBC Royal Bank for 3.99% up to 84 months on new 2022 Silverado 1500 models.

A 1950s neon sign could be making a comeback on Hastings Street. The Eagle Ford neon sign flashed above the old Eagle Ford car dealership at Carleton Avenue and Hastings Street (present day Carleton Square at 4161 Hastings St.) between 1950 and 1985. Eagle Motors Ltd. was the largest Ford car and truck retailer in the province from 1948-1985, and used the silhouette of the eagle in its advertising and on its chrome car badge. The bright blue-andwhite eagle sign is 3.96 metres tall and 2.74 metres wide, and is highlighted by gold neon tubing. It’s been stored and maintained by Burnaby Village Museum for the past decade, after the city

purchased the sign from a private collector in 2012. The sign is in good condition, according to a staff report, though it needs a paint job and its neon tubes need replacing. Staff estimate that the project will cost $110,000 to create a conservation plan with public consultation, repair and the creation of a mounting bracket.The project also requires electrical service, sign installation and includes an interpretive sign. The ongoing maintenance cost may be comparable to the iconic Helen’s Swinging Girl neon sign, which costs the city $1,996 every year.

Citynow Burnaby immigration consultant loses licence over $70K kickback Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A former Burnaby immigration consultant has agreed to give up his licence over a $70,000 kickback he got for persuading a client to make an investment. Kwang Woo Richard Park had encouraged the client, a man emigrating from China, to make the investment but hadn’t told him he would be getting a commission off it. In a decision last month, the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (formerly the Immigration Consul-

tants of Canada Regulatory Council) accepted a declaration from Park that he would never work as an immigration consultant again. “This is a serious matter, and I am satisfied that the revocation of Mr. Park’s licence is within the range of reasonable outcomes,” discipline committee chair Laurie Sanford said in the ruling. Sanford noted Park would have faced further allegations if the case had gone to a hearing. Those allegations were outlined in a November 2016 notice announcing the case was being re-

ferred to the discipline committee. It said Park was hired in 2013 and received a to-

tal of $34,605 for helping a client emigrate from China. Park had described

company. Once the investment was made, the client had sold his business and apartment in China and moved to B.C. with his wife and son, according to the notice.

It wasn’t until later that he discovered a payment of $70,000 had been made from the company’s corporate account to Park’s business, Future Link Inc. None of the allegations

in the notice were tested at a hearing, and Park and the client reached a settlement, according to the ruling last month. The settlement included Park’s admission that he

Community now Burnaby mayor ﬁnishes third in food bank challenge Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley had a very strong showing in the 2022 Greater Vancouver Food Bank Mayors’ Challenge. The food bank says the City of Burnaby, led by Hurley, finished third out of nine mayors participating in the month-long campaign.The official results say Hurley raised a total of $86,132.42. The competition saw mayors from throughout Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland see who could raise the most money per capita, with an overall campaign goal of $500,000. Hurley finished with 35 cents per capita. Value per capita was determined by combining cash raised and food value ($2.62 for each pound of food collected) and then dividing that total by the 2016 Census population

data for each city. New Westminster finished second with $75,632.62 (rounded up to 96 cents per capita) while the City of North Vancouver and Mayor Linda Buchanan finished first for the second straight year raising $55,840 (95 cents per capita). “It was so wonderful to see so many Burnaby residents showing generosity and care for their community during the Mayors’ Food Bank Challenge,” Hurley said in a Greater Vancouver Food Bank news release. “The Greater Vancouver Food Bank is a vital resource for so many people in our region, and the funds we raised through this challenge will go a long way to supporting their work in our communities.” The GreaterVancouver Food Bank says overall, the campaign raised $313,728 of its $500,000

goal. “The generosity of the public has blown us away again.Thank you to all the participating mayors, especially Mayor Buchanan, for stepping up again this year and raising an incredible amount of funds for us to provide healthy food to those in need,” Greater Vancouver Food Bank CEO David Long added. Participating mayors and cities were: Ð Burnaby – Mayor Mike Hurley Ð Chilliwack – Mayor Ken Popove Ð City of North Vancouver – Mayor Linda Buchanan Ð Coquitlam – Mayor Richard Stewart Ð New Westminster – Mayor Jonathan Cote Ð Port Coquitlam – Mayor Brad West Ð Port Moody – Mayor Rob Vagramov Ð Vancouver – Mayor Kennedy Stewart Ð White Rock – Mayor Darryl Walker

Mobile showers get longer hours Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

A recently launched Burnaby mobile shower program is extending its operating hours. The Burnaby Society to End Homelessness says guests can now access the facilities on Wednesdays from 4 to 5 p.m. and during its original operating time of 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Thursdays. Showers are available at Neighbourhood Church, located at 7135 Walker Ave. The program is the first of its kind in Metro Vancouver. The stalls are equipped with a shower, toilet and washbasin, and are also insulated, heated and air-conditioned to operate year-round. Each bathroom includes a touchless faucet

sink, hand dryer, magic mirror with built-in radio and Bluetooth, systematic disinfection by UV light and antibacterial walls. “This will give our folks that don’t have a roof over their head, a chance to be clean,” executive director Carol-Ann Flanagan said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 19. “We know that a lot of our homeless folks have one or two health issues and hygiene is a big step up for them. So we are very, very happy and proud that we’re able to offer this service to our guests.” The society applied for funding from the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) roughly 18 months ago, Flanagan said.The city also contributed to the program. “When we look at this little facility here, it’s so

important to bring back dignity to people who are on our streets or who are less fortunate,” Mayor Mike Hurley said at the event. “I know many of us who are fortunate to have homes and can wake up in the morning and go and have a shower.We don’t recognize that. But it’s the simple things that make such a difference in the lives of people who are so unfortunate to be on our streets.” Showers are available on a first-come, firstserved basis with a maximum of six users per hour.Towels and hygiene supplies are also provided to guests.

COMMUNITY OBITUARIES

ANNOUNCEMENTS

HEY KIDS! “MYSTERY ISLAND”

MEECH, Alvina (Vi) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Alvina (Vi) Meech (née Walker) on May 27, 2022 at Royal City Manor in New Westminster, BC. Born to George and Sabina Walker on November 6, 1925 in Tadmore, Saskatchewan, Vi was the youngest of 11 children, all of whom have predeceased her. A long-time member of both Century House and Olivet Baptist Church, she was always very active in her church and community. With her strong work ethic, she was always happiest when keeping busy. After retiring from BC Hydro at age 65 she volunteered for many different organizations over the years, including her church, Century House, Massey Theatre, and many others. In 2012 her many volunteer positions and her community spirit earned her a nomination as New Westminster Citizen of the Year. She is predeceased by her daughter, Leslie Kingwell (née Zeller), and she is survived by her two sons, Rick Zeller (Barb) and Doug Zeller (Iris), as well as Doug’s children, Patrick (Leah), Michael (Samantha) and Kristen, and Patrick’s children, Benjamin and Victoria. She was always very proud of her family. A funeral will be held at a future date at Olivet Baptist Church in New Westminster, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully accepted to any of the following organizations: Action for Animals in Distress (Burnaby, BC), Olivet Baptist Church (New Westminster, BC), Diabetes Canada To find out more about Alvina Meech please visit www.dignitymemorial.com

SIMPSON, Margaret Theresa (Dorozio) September 24, 1926 - May 24, 2022 Margaret Theresa Simpson (Dorozio) passed away in her sleep 4 months before her 96th birthday. Predeceased by her husband Jim Simpson and her siblings Amelia, Helen, Lucy, Mike, Curly, Fennell, and Johnny. Margaret is survived by her 6 grown children; Bonnie Cebula (Ted), Patti Simpson, Jim Simpson (Liz), Nancy Harper (Dave), Rob Simpson (Tammy), David Simpson (Anena), 16 grandchildren; Michele, Christie, Brad, Andrea, Emily, Stuart, Amy, Bethany, Meghan, Ben, Hayley, Sara, Davey, Daniel, Nathan, Grace, plus 17 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Olive Fera and countless nieces and nephews from the Dorozio and Simpson families. Margaret was born September 24, 1926 in Vancouver, BC. She attended school there, where she met and married the love of her life, Jim, on June 18, 1949. They were married for 65 years. After living on Napier St. in Vancouver for 14 years, they moved to Hycrest Dr., Burnaby in 1963, where they lived for over 50 years. After Jim’s passing in 2014, she decided to move to assisted living at Elim Christian Care in 2016. At The Emerald, she was quick to lend a hand to others and was involved in almost every activity there. She was awarded Community Life Resident of the Year at age 92. At 93 she graduated with a Certificate of Christian Knowledge from Elim University. A very special thank you to all the Elim staff and granddaughter Bethany (RN), for their care. Friends and family are welcome to attend a memorial service to celebrate Margaret’s life on Saturday, June 11th at 1:00pm at New Life Community Church, 8765 Government St, Burnaby.
