Burnaby MLAs proud of Horgan’s legacy

B.C. premier announces that he will not be seeking re-election in the next provincial election Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

Some were caught off guard, others sad but understanding.

On June 28, B.C. premier John Horgan announced he would not be seeking re-election during the next provincial election scheduled for 2024.

Some Burnaby NDP MLAs were surprised by Horgan’s announcement and saddened that he has decided to step away.

However, they understand why he made his decision.

“Yes, it did catch us off guard in terms of, you know, the fact that he announced it [onTuesday],” Katrina Chen, Burnaby-Lougheed MLA and minister of state for child care told the NOW. “He did say he had an interview a few days prior.

He’s a very honest person.

He’s very straightforward.

And in that interview, he kind of shared that he’ll say something after a gathering with NDPers and the cabinet retreat.”

Chen said Horgan shared his decision before he revealed it publicly.

“It was very emotional.

We had a lot of tears and we all cried a little bit. I

would say it took us by surprise.”

Chen says Horgan’s ability to connect with people, and also look after others, were a few of the things she respected about him most.

“A lot of us shared about how he empowered so many people, including myself. I thanked him personally for ... when I first met him, you know, he encouraged me to do my first big public speaking

[event]. And he was able to encourage me in a way to give me the confidence to go on stage; when he asked me to run, it was the same thing.

“Being an immigrant, I never imagined, you know, coming here and doing this job. He has always trusted people and empowers those around him, which is huge. People see him as a genuine leader, who is honest, who has integrity and is also willing to ac-

knowledge he can continue to improve and adapt.”

“We want to carry on his important legacy and bring people together.”

Burnaby North MLA Janet Routledge said Horgan’s announcement made her sad.

She told the NOW MLAs were aware of rumours surrounding his future, but it was still difficult to hear.

“We certainly heard the rumours, I think we all

had. But my reaction was sadness,” she said.

“I am quite confident about going forward as a result of his leadership; we’re an exceptionally large team. He’s a really good team leader and he’s led us in a way that has allowed our team to mature and develop as individuals and as a group. So I think we have a very, very solid foundation.”

She remembers a certain event during the 2017 election where Horgan took the time to acknowledge a younger student who had come to the press conference and whipped out a pencil and a notepad and started asking him questions.

“He held a press conference in Burnaby North, my neighbourhood, on the front lawn of a house, a little bungalow, that was for sale. It was a big press conference. And just as things were getting underway, before reporters had the opportunity to answer questions, this group of school children came around the corner with the teacher from Gilmore Elementary School and stopped across the street and they watched as a group.

“One of the students,

He empowered so many people, including myself.

just as the scrum started, who must have been around eight years old, came across the street and whipped out a pencil and pad of paper and started asking John Horgan questions. And this is in the middle of an election. He could have handled that in so many different ways.

“What he chose to do was treat this young boy with respect and interest and curiosity and he answered all of his questions.

He treated him like he was there legitimately.”

Routledge says later on, when the BC NDP were in government with Horgan as premier, the boy and his family came to the legislature and sat in the gallery.

“The premier introduced him and acknowledged him.

“And to me, that so defines his leadership and so defines his impact. I think Continued on page 10

Burnaby mayor opposes proposed federal riding changes Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley says he doesn’t support the proposed changes to federal election ridings, which would see some neighbourhoods cross into other Metro Vancouver ridings.

Hurley spoke June 28 at a public hearing re-

garding the changes.

Later in the evening on social media, Hurley said he doesn’t believe the plan serves local residents.

“Tonight, I spoke against a proposal to carve up Burnaby’s existing federal electoral districts,” he wrote.

“The proposal would fracture Burnaby neigh-

bourhoods and attach them to adjacent ridings in Metro Vancouver cities.The plan doesn’t serve our residents, and it doesn’t have my support.”

In May, the 2022 Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. recommended the creation of new ridings while making changes to others,

mainly due to a rise in the provincial population.

It has been mandated to provide 43 electoral districts, which is an increase of one compared to the last allotment, due to B.C.’s increased population.

The Canadian constitution requires the reconfiguring of electoral district boundaries every

10 years after the decennial census is completed.

The commission says the 2021 census data showed an increase of roughly 600,000 B.C. residents, which brings the total provincial population to 5,000,879 — up from 4,400,057 in 2011.

With 43 electoral districts, there would be approximately 116,300 peo-

ple per riding.

The proposal outlines changes recommended for the riding of Burnaby North-Seymour and New Westminster-Burnaby.

In Burnaby NorthSeymour, the committee proposes moving the current boundaries northward, while NewWestContinued on page 15

Three suspected kidnappers found not guilty Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Three suspected Burnaby kidnappers who took “extraordinary efforts” to escape police — including one who fell from an 11th floor balcony — have been found not guilty of kidnapping.

Abdulkadir Handule, Abdullah Abdullahi and Obinna Njoku had all been charged with kidnapping in relation to a dramatic incident at a Metrotown apartment building in July 2019.

RESCUE Tactical officers breached the door of an 11th-floor apartment at 4960 Sanders St. at about 10:20 p.m. on July 4, 2019, to rescue a man they believed had been kidnapped two days earlier,

according to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling this month.

Unbeknownst to the suspects, two snipers had been watching them for hours from the rooftop of an apartment building next door at 6175 Nelson St., the ruling said.

By the time police entered the suite, however, the suspects had fled through the balcony door.

One of the snipers saw Abdullahi fall from the balcony into a rhododendron bush below and spotted Handule scaling down the outside of the building.

Handule was arrested on a fifth-floor balcony, with a loaded Glock semi-automatic pistol at his feet, according to the ruling.

Njoku, meanwhile, managed to jump from the 11th floor balcony to one

to mingle with the occupants,” stated the ruling.

“He even picked up a little girl, much to the disapproval of her mother, and carried her down the staircase. He was arrested a few minutes later in the lobby.”

All three were taken into custody and charged with the kidnapping of Arnold Hue. Ruling: Three men charged with kidnapping after a dramatic incident in Metrotown have been acquitted. PHOTO R0B KRUYT/BIV FILES

on the 10th floor.

He then broke a sliding glass door, made his way through the unoccupied suite and ended up on a staircase as the residents of the condo were being evacuated.

“Mr. Njoku attempted

‘DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE’ Prosecutors argued Hue had been taken at gunpoint from an underground parking garage at the Metropolis at Metrotown mall on July 1, 2019, and held for ransom in suite 1103 at 4960 Sanders St. until police found him there two days later.

But defence lawyers argued Hue had gone with them willingly, either to conduct a drug deal at

the condo or as part of a fake kidnapping to extort money out of Hue’s criminal associates.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice JanetWinteringham said she found it “difficult to believe much of what he said.”

She ultimately ruled prosecutors had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Hue had been kidnapped at the mall but there was enough evidence to prove Handule and Abdullahi had held him in the apartment against his will, so she found those two men guilty of the lesser offence of unlawful confinement.

ACQUITTED Njoku, meanwhile, was acquitted of all charges.

Winteringham concluded his involvement had been limited and, at

Impactful Lives Remembered

By Veronica Grossi

In the 1980s, Mary and Paul Florio eagerly got involved with the non-profit organization Volunteer Grandparents. Although they were an active senior couple, they felt that they did not have enough youngsters in their lives. They applied to be a part of the organization’s Family Match Program and became instant volunteer grandparents when they were matched to a 7-year-old boy and 4-year-old twins. Paul and Mary were delighted to spend time with their new grandchildren, who became important parts of their expanding family over the next twenty years.

Years later, their generosity, creativity, and passion for intergenerational relationships led them both to serve on Volunteer Grandparents’ Board of Directors and to create the Florio Bursary. This bursary was started to inspire a life-long passion for learning in the organization’s youth by sponsoring new and exciting experiences like music, dance, ski classes, ice hockey programs, and special camps. For over 20 years, the Florios loved receiving kind letters and feedback from the youngsters in the Family Match Program who benefited from their sponsorship.

Sadly, Mary Florio passed away on March 20, 2014, and Paul Florio recently passed away April 1, 2022. They will always be lovingly remembered by our members for the incredible work they did and the legacy they have left. Their kindness and generosity will never be forgotten.

Volunteer Grandparents’ mission is to ‘bridge and enrich the generations.’ If you would like to volunteer with Volunteer Grandparents or contribute to the Florio Bursary to support youth in your community, please reach out to our charity: 604-736-8271.

some point, Handule and Abdullahi had turned on him.

Even the fact that he had picked up a little girl in an attempt to evade police did not tip the scales against him, according to Winteringham — but that didn’t mean she accepted his explanation that he had picked her up in an attempt to help her down the stairs.

“Mr. Njoku’s conduct with respect to the little girl was shocking,” she said. “I have no difficulty finding that Mr. Njoku frightened her parents — it was not an act of altruism but was a bold effort by Mr. Njoku to escape detection.That said, I am not satisfied that the evidence of his attempt to evade police tips the balance to found proof beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Opinionnow MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Common touch has helped Horgan

When John Horgan departs the Premier’s Office for the last time a few months from now, B.C. will say goodbye to one of that office’s most successful occupants.

Few of his predecessors can point to as long a list of accomplishments as well as an enduring ability to remain popular with the general public, even as controversies inevitably pile up at the door.

Horgan has just entered his sixth year in office, an achievement that seemed very doubtful (to myself and to many other political observers) on the night of the 2017 provincial election, when the B.C. Liberals ended up winning the most seats but not enough to form a majority government.

After forging a non-aggression pact with BC Green Party leader AndrewWeaver, Horgan was able to secure his own de facto majority, and turned it into a robust one, free of the need to co-operate with the Greens, with a decisive and historic election victory in 2020.

While there has been the occasional misstep, Horgan has run a largely problem-free government almost since Day 1 of taking office.

Aided by an unprecedented global pandemic that saw citizens everywhere look at government through an appreciative lens, Horgan has been able to consistently display the attribute that pretty much all political leaders in a democracy strive for: the common touch.

He earned the nickname “Premier Dad” for his knack of simultaneously doling out helpful advice while at the same time chiding those guilty of misbehavior or not following the “rules” that came with living in a pandemic.

His personal popularity grew over time (although it slipped a bit in the last

opinion poll), which is an almost unheard of accomplishment for a B.C. premier.

Aside from a deft personal touch, one of his key strengths was to steer his government largely down the political middle with a touch of progressive populism thrown in from time to time.

Getting rid of the tolls on two Fraser River bridges at the start of the first mandate was an effective move. So was eliminating medical service plan premiums. And overhauling ICBC almost overnight meant lower car insurance rates and even rebates to motorists to the tune of hundreds of dollars.

His decision to greenlight both the continued construction of the Site C dam and the LNG Canada project put his government firmly on the side of industrial development and against the environmental activist wing of his party.

Horgan’s decision to not only embrace the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples but to enshrine it into law may well be the most far-reaching decision by any government in B.C. history.The implications of that decision will last generations.

Finally, he will be long remembered for not only leading the province through a gut-wrenching pandemic but for doing it in a style that delegated so much decision-making to those around him, rather than making it all about him.

Popular, historic and lasting: those are three terms to describe what will be John Horgan’s legacy from his time in office.

His eventual successor (to be chosen this fall) would do well to emulate what I call Horgan’s “progressive centrism.”

It is a winning formula.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Topic: Severe storms expected across southern B.C. “How is it that out of all the weather apps around not one has this warning except Weather Network and Global SkyTracker get the same info. And even SkyTracker hasn’t got warnings this severe.”

“Almost like a rain forest, which is what Mother Nature is looking to replace.”

Opinionnow Museum multimillions would be better spent on seniors’ residences Editor: Premier Horgan recently rescinded the proposed allocation of $789 million to replace the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria. The citizens’ advocacy group Action for Reform of Residential Care Association B.C. is asking that these funds be applied to the reform of our long-term care system, specifically to build small-scale residences that are home-like, support quality of care and promote quality of life.

Given the cost of building long-term care homes, the $789 million could finance almost 20 such public facilities, each for 100 people.

Canadian nursing homes have suffered from years of systemic neglect and repeated investigations over the years, warning of grave safety problems. COVID-19 has made the public aware of these serious and long-standing issues that contributed to the death of too many care home residents.

The Canadian Institute for Health Information reported in March of 2021 that “the proportion of COVID-19 deaths in LTC and retirement home residents in Canada (69 per cent) has remained significantly higher than the inter-

national average (41 per cent).” Old buildings have contributed to this through overcrowding and poor ventilation, along with lack of PPE. As well, many residential care facilities in B.C. still labour under an “institutional” philosophy of care and design, and too many resemble old acute care hospitals. Many residents who lived their adult lives independently in large homes now reside in a four-bedded room with one shared bathroom. These accommodations offer little room for family to sit and visit, even at the end of life.

There may be limited access to outdoor space. There is often little choice about when and what one eats.

There is significant research to suggest that small-scale homes, with 10 to12 private bedrooms, offer a viable solution for persons living with dementia who need care.

Inertia and inaction are our biggest impediments. B.C.’s long-term care system is failing its elder population.

Our current situation is too serious and complex to justify continuing with piecemeal approaches to change.

The money is available. We respectfully ask that the Ministry of Health consider championing this proposal.

Community now Student saluted for environmental stewardship

Grade 12 BMSS student wins award for her leadership in garden club and greenhouse revitalization Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

Grade 12 Burnaby Mountain Secondary student Casey Lo has been gardening ever since she can remember.

After years volunteering with a school garden club, and taking her knowledge into her school, she’s won the city’s youth environmental award lauding her for her environmental stewardship. Mayor Mike Hurley presented the award at council on June 20.

Burnaby’s environmental awards recognize largescale, long-term commitments to a cause that has broad community impact.

The award was given to Casey based on her involvement in the Forest Grove Garden Club and her efforts in revitalizing Burnaby Mountain Secondary’s indoor greenhouse.

She graduated just last month from Burnaby Mountain Secondary School, where she left her mark in the form of a revitalized indoor greenhouse.

Casey has been a part of the garden club at Forest Grove Elementary School since she was about six years old — she says it’s been as long as she can remember.

“It’s kind of changed my life because it got me interested in the environ-

ment and gardening and being outside, and it really nurtured my love of nature and plants,” she said.

The garden club works like a seed-to-table program: the group plants food staples like garlic, herbs, lettuces, radishes and carrots, and uses the plants in cooking classes.

The year culminates in a big feast.

Barb Koyanagi, founder and executive director of the Burnaby-based nonprofit Sprouting Chefs, runs the Forest Grove garden program and has known Casey since she started.

Koyanagi said the earliest memory she has of Casey is from when she was in about Grade 1. “[There was] us transplanting plants with a big pile of soil, and she’s just wearing an Easter white dress and white tights doing this work with me — that was Casey,” Koyanagi said.

“If it was raining at garden club and there were puddles, she would be in them.”

Koyanagi used to call Casey “carrot girl” because she loved pulling the veggies up from the soil.

Now Casey is a youth leader and garden educator for the club. Koyanagi calls her part of the team of “environ-mentors.”

“She probably knows just as much about gardening as I do now,” Koyanagi said.

At Burnaby Mountain Secondary, Casey realized the school’s indoor green-

house had plenty of equipment that wasn’t being used.The outdoor garden bins hadn’t been used either.

“I was like, ‘Oh, wow, what if I kind of revitalize this and reuse the space?’” she said.

With a $1,000 grant fromYouth to Sea by OceanWise, a program Casey was also involved with, she bought the plants and got the project started.

Students at Forest Grove and Edmonds elementary schools planted the seeds. Over the winter and early spring, Ca-

sey took the seedlings to the greenhouse at Burnaby Mountain Secondary to be cared for by the high schoolers.They planted tomatoes, cucumbers, marigolds, nasturtiums and more.

The school’s outdoor garden planters also needed some work. Many schools throughout Burnaby have the large metal bins, like horse troughs, which are popular with gardeners.

But the planters are hard for schools to take care of over the summer months when classes

aren’t in session.The metal bins are easy for plants to dry up in and turn to weeds.

Casey set out to develop a self-watering system.

She and a group of students created a wicking system that stores water, with specialized drainage compartments at the bottom, separated from the plants by landscaping fabric.

The water would be soaked up through the soil, so the plants have access to water, even if they’re not consistently watered.

The students have planted species native to theWest Coast, including alpine strawberries, bergamot and licorice mint Agastache.

If the experiment works, the self-watering system could be used in schools across Burnaby.

Koyanagi said it takes a student like Casey, one with “a rare passion,” to make a project like this happen.

“I think having someone like her, with the strong responsibility piece and her also being able to get other kids to join her, made the difference,” Koyanagi said.

Casey said learning about the environment is a huge part of her life.

“I’ve grown up in an area called Forest Grove, I live in a forest, so it’s always been a super big part of my life,” she said.

Communitynow Group holds vigil for victims of mass murder in Ethiopia Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

A candlelit vigil was held at Civic Square in Burnaby to remember the massacre of hundreds of ethnic Amhara in the Oromia region of Ethiopia that happened earlier this month.

The armed group calling itself the Oromo Liberation Army, called “Shene” by the Ethiopian government, has been blamed for the killing of at least 230 Amhara people, though the group denies its involvement.

“People are killed all over the country, and no one is taking responsibility, and we didn’t see any justice, and now we’re heartbroken,” said Moges Seblehiwot, the founder and president of the group

Seblehiwot said the Ethiopian Affairs in B.C. group, which is not based on any ethnicity but has members from all over Ethiopia, is calling for the Ethiopian government to protect Amhara civilians.

“They’ve got no protection from anyone, anything, and they are killed like chickens based on their ethnic profile,” he said.

Reports fromThe Associated Press say infants and children have been killed, in addition to adults. Seblehiwot says it’s a genocide.

The long-awaited opening of BCIT’s new health sciences centre is almost here.

The province announced June 29 the $88.2-million project will be ready for students and faculty in September.

When the project was originally announced, construction was set to begin in summer 2018 and completed in April 2020.

When asked by the NOW in December 2019 why the project was behind schedule, the province said numerous factors contributed to the delay including BCIT making an extra effort at cost control at a time of significant construction cost inflation across the Lower Mainland, the school undertaking further design program validation with faculty to ensure the new building continued to meet educational delivery needs and pointed to large projects of this nature taking significant time and resources to get it right.

More details were later revealed in April 2021

through a Freedom of Information request (FOI) by the NOW. It said BCIT’s health life sciences building received business case approval from the advanced education ministry in March 2017 before the provincial election.

Once the election had been called in April, the government went into interregnum and all work had been stopped.

Advancement of the design phase proceeded after BCIT’s consultant construction was completed in the summer of 2017.

There was also a threemonth delay in the construction phase due to issues related to previously

undiscovered poor soils conditions and about an additional six week delay with the underground infrastructure requirements as a result.

A new occupancy date of March 2022 was provided.

Now, six months later, the building will be operational this fall.

“The BCIT Health Sciences Centre has been designed to meet the needs of students today and for years to come,” BurnabyDeer Lake MLA and advanced education minister Anne Kang said in a news release.

“We’re putting people first by increasing and improving the spaces and

programs they need to advance their careers.We are making sure we are graduating well-trained nurses and care professionals who are ready to support the health-care needs of British Columbians.”

The province says the building will support students in 32 health-care programs and will feature classrooms that enhance learning by simulating real-world settings, including replication of hospital workflows, living laboratories and simulation labs.

“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, health science professionals working in hospitals, acute care, long-term care and community health centres to provide every level of health care, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, have ensured that British Columbians have access to the quality care they need and deserve,” B.C. health minister Adrian Dix added.

The facility comes in at four stories at 11,460 sq. ft. and is labelled as a low emission building.

Singh ‘honoured to work with’ B.C. premier Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

After announcing he won’t seek re-election in 2024 and will step down as premier, John Horgan received thanks from his federal counterpart, Burnaby South MP Jagmeet Singh.

At a news conference June 28, Horgan announced he won’t be on the ballot in the next provincial election and will remain as premier until a new NDP leader is chosen

in the fall.

Shortly after, Singh released a statement thanking Horgan for his service, while highlighting the agenda items close to the premier.

“Premier John Horgan has always worked for everyday British Columbians, putting their needs first. I have been honoured to work with him; hear and share advice and to call him my friend,” the federal NDP leader said.

“As premier, John Hor-

gan has shown us his compassion and strength. He has helped British Columbians navigate the difficult years of the [COVID-19] pandemic.

“John has shown the difference an NDP government can make for people.

Affordable childcare and paid sick leave; making it easier to join a union and leading the fight for better funding for our health care — these are all evidence of Premier Horgan’s accomplishments.... Being

an elected official comes with many challenges, but John has always met these hurdles with integrity and courage.”

After a two-day cabinet retreat inVancouver, Horgan said it’s traditional to reflect on the future at the halfway point of a term, and after two bouts of cancer — throat cancer in 2021 and bladder cancer in 2008 — he is tired.

“This has been the thrill of my life to be the premier of British Columbia,” said

Counterparts: NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh with Premier John Horgan. PHOTO TWITTER

Horgan, noting there has been “endless speculation” about his future as a result of his recent battle with cancer.

“I want to put the speculation to rest so we can get back to what really matters.”

The 62-year-old led the NDP to a minority government in 2017, followed by a majority in 2020.

He is the first B.C. premier in 36 years to step away from office without facing an internal revolt or deal-breaking scandal or facing defeat.

-With files from Cindy E. Harnett,Times Colonist

‘Premier Horgan has been a great leader’ Name would change Continued from page 3 what really defines him is, he really lets everyone know that they matter.”

In a statement to the NOW, Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA and advanced education minister Anne Kang said she is honoured to have had the chance to work for Horgan.

“Premier Horgan has been a great leader through

some of the toughest challenges we’ve seen as a province. I am so honoured to have been able to work with him.

“I am proud of John’s vision and his hard work to make life better for people.

Whether it was eliminating MSP fees and unfair bridge tolls, creating thousands of new, affordable child-care spaces across the

province, or taking historic steps toward reconciliation, he was focused on getting results.”

In a written statement, Burnaby-Edmonds MLA and Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Raj Chouan said Horgan has been a great leader while also saying it was an honour to work beside him.

“Premier Horgan has

been a great leader through some of the toughest challenges we’ve seen as a province. He has always put people first and reminded us all of the importance of caring for each other.

“The premier and I were first elected as MLAs in the same year, and it has been an honour to work alongside him during my time as MLA.”

Continued from page 3 minster-Burnaby would have its boundaries moved eastward and would incorporate an area east of the Pattullo Bridge.

The riding would also have its name changed to New Westminster-Bridgeview.

“Our task is to create an additional riding and to adjust the boundaries of

existing ridings to maintain effective federal representation for all British Columbians.We are proposing quite a few boundary changes.

“The changes are mainly in response to the significant but uneven growth of our population,” commission chair Justice Mary Saunders said in an earlier statement.
