Burnaby urban village plans await council decision Lauren Vanderdeen

Burnaby city staff have finalized plans for two new urban villages in Burnaby.

The Bainbridge and Lochdale urban villages are planned to be communiIT’S THE BEST TIME TO BUY A HOT TUB!

ties “bridging the gap” between larger town centres like Metrotown and Brentwood and smaller-scale residential neighbourhoods.

They’ve been designed with multi-family densities and accessible community services, working towards a

“15-minute city.”

The plans are intended to guide incremental development over the next 30 years, with shorter-term plans beginning in the denser areas.

The urban villages will provide market and non-

market housing options and types, including transit-oriented housing (dense, multi-family apartment housing), low- to midrise housing (multi-family apartment housing, often with townhouses at ground level), and ground-oriented

housing like triplexes, fourplexes, townhouses and rowhouses.

Streetscapes would be designed as “urban ‘living rooms’” with public art, greenery and open spaces for socializing.

The plans would incor-

porate weather-protected areas, like awnings over pedestrian and seating areas, universal washrooms and publicly accessible bike facilities like repair tools, air pumps and e-bike chargers Continued on page 12

Drug dealer gets 15 years for array of crimes

Offences included trafficking in fentanyl, multiple weapons charges and trying to have someone shot Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Brandon Shiu Nandan had an “office” in Burnaby — but it wasn’t just any old office.

Unit 3901 at 6461Telford Ave. was where Nandan mixed, dyed and packaged fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and other drugs for sale, according to facts shared in a Vancouver courtroom last week.

The Metrotown highrise apartment is also where, in 2020, police listened in on his plans to have someone who ripped him off shot in exchange for money and drugs.

Nandan, 29, was handed a 15-year prison sentenced in B.C. provincial court lastWednesday after pleading guilty to drug trafficking, multiple weapons charges and trying to have someone shot.

He had originally been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, but a plea deal saw him sentenced for the lesser charge of counselling someone to commit an indictable offence that didn’t happen.

BRANSON SANDERS KILLING This isn’t Nandan’s first prison sentence — nor the first time he’s engineered a plan to hurt someone.

In 2014, he was sentenced to six years after he and a co-accused pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2011 drug-related killing of 20-year-old Branson Sanders, whose burned body was found in Robert Burnaby Park.

His sentencing judge in that case noted Nandan had said he’d only meant to arrange “a minor beating.”

After credit for time

served, Nandan was eventually sentenced to five years and 71 days — a period that should have ended around June 20, 2019.

When exactly he got out of prison is unclear, however. Correctional Services Canada said they couldn’t say when Nandan was released because of privacy laws, and the Parole Board of Canada told the NOW there were no “releasable” decisions about his parole.

DRUGS AND WEAPONS Whenever he was released, it’s clear he was back in trouble with the law by June 27, 2019, according to agreed facts presented at his sentencing.

He was arrested in Langley on that day during a sting targeting a dial-adope operation.

In his car, police found a Kinder Egg of fentanyl and crack cocaine, bear spray and a hammer between the door and driver’s seat.

He was released pending charges.

Officers found scarier weapons and a lot more drugs a year later, on June 25, 2020, when they raided a condo Nandan and his brother had rented in Langley.

Along with $83,000 worth of fentanyl, cocaine, MDMA, benzodiazipine, methamphetamine and other drugs lying around in bowls,Tupperware containers, trays and Ziploc bags, police found multipleTasers, body armour, boxes of ammunition, a loaded zip gun and a loaded 9 mm Barretta semi-automatic pistol. Nandan was arrested and, again, released pending charges.

A few months later, he

SENTENCED: Brandon Shiu Nandan has been sentenced in Vancouver provincial court for multiple crimes including counselling someone to commit an offence. PHOTO ROB KRUYT/BIV FILES ended up in the crosshairs of the province’s anti-gang agency, the combined forces special enforcement unit.

‘MURDER CONSPIRACY’ In late October 2020, CFSEU was investigating a suspected murder conspiracy aimed at taking out AB — “a person known to be heavily involved in criminal activity,” according to provincial Crown prosecutor Michael Lefebure.

Investigators got a warrant to listen in on the conversations of their main suspect, “Person A,” a street-level drug dealer, whose identity is protected by a publication ban.

After police raided Person A’s house and seized Person A’s cell phone on Oct. 23, 2020, however, the focus of the investigation quickly switched to Nandan.

On Person A’s phone, investigators found conversations between Person A and Nandan that showed Nandan had been counseling Person A to shoot AB

since Sept. 1, 2020.

Nandan had provided Person A with a loaded 9 mm CZTT9 semi-automatic pistol, sent Person A photos of AB and satellite images of AB’s home and discussed how Person A could obtain a getaway car for the job.

“Person A was to be paid cash and drugs by Mr. Nandan in return for committing the shooting but was arrested before the shooting could be attempted,” Lefebure said.

Nandan told Person A that AB had ripped Nandan off for a “large sum of money.”

LISTENING IN CFSEU then started listening in on Nandan’s private communications and bugged his vehicle andTelford Avenue “office.”

They heard enough to indicate Nandan was a drug trafficker who “supplied and managed several street-level dealers,” according to Lefebure.

On Nov. 18, 2020, police intercepted a phone call during which Nandan

discussed the possibility a recent overdose death had been due to his drugs.

“Intercepted communications show that Mr. Nandan changed the packaging and colour of his drugs due to media coverage of overdose deaths,” Lefebure said.

Defence lawyer Ian Donaldson, however, said Nandan and others involved in the discussion had concluded Nandan’s drugs were not to blame for the death.

“The change of packaging relates to a desire to continue to sell, not to continue to sell something believed to be toxic by changing its colour,” Donaldson said.

SENTENCED Police raided the Telford office and Nandan’s residence at 6353 McKay simultaneously on Dec. 1, 2020.

At the office, they found more than $100,000 in fentanyl, cocaine, meth and other drugs, as well as a Taser and 350 rounds of ammunition.

Nandan was arrested outside of the McKay condo with help from a bean-bag gun and police dog.

“Mr. Nandan still has ongoing physical effects from these dog bites,” Donaldson said.

In his possession, Nandan had a loaded 9 mm Glock-style polymer “ghost gun” with a silencer and no serial number.

He was charged with a slew of drug and weapons offences, including conspiracy to commit murder with a firearm, in March 2021.

After credit for time served, Nandan was sentenced Wednesday to nearly 13 more years in prison.

As aggravating factors, Crown prosecutors noted Nandan had trafficked in fentanyl during an escalating overdose crisis and possessed prohibited weapons while bound by a firearms ban — all after already serving a significant sentence for a drug-related killing.

His actions had also endangered his neighbours, said federal Crown prosecutor Alexandra Russell.

“Mr. Nandan was residing and engaging in his fentanyl trafficking activity in a multi-unit residential building, which puts members of the public at significant risk from fentanyl activity as well as the presence of weapons in that space,” she said.

After delivering his sentence, B.C. provincial court Judge David St. Pierre urged Nandan to use his time in prison to reflect on his actions and make change.

“You’ve got a lot of making up to do,” St. Pierre said.

CEO’s firing sends signal to BC Ferries

The recent firing of BC Ferries CEO Mark Collins is further evidence the BC NDP government intends to exert more influence over the beleaguered ferry service.

However, the dismissal of Collins will likely do little to solve the ferry service’s most pressing problems: a chronic lack of properly trained mariner staff and the ongoing staff shortages caused by the lingering COVID-19 virus.

Collins’s dismissal should come as no surprise to those who have been watching the increasingly tense dance between his administration and the NDP government.

The relationship took a turn for the worse at the beginning of the pandemic and has not improved since.

In April 2020, BC Ferries laid off more than 1,000 employees and arbitrarily eliminated sailing routes or greatly reduced service levels on them.

Both moves — which were politically tone deaf, to say the least — angered the provincial government.

Although almost all employees eventually returned to work and service levels were restored, the moves left the provincial cabinet wondering what shoe was going to drop next.

It didn’t help matters when an independent arbiter found that BC Ferries committed unfair labour practices when it laid off all those workers. A rather embarrassing moment for the labour movement-friendly NDP government.

Indeed, problems began to plague the ferry service. It was fined almost $700,000 by WorkSafeBC after one of its employees died on the job. A ferry rammed into a dock, and rising staff shortages led to more and more sailing cancellations.

In the last legislative ses-

sion, the government tabled a bill that would establish a new governance model that gives the British Columbia Ferry Authority the power to make “binding directions” to BC Ferries that are in the “public interest.”

The bill will either be called for debate during the fall legislature sitting or die on the order paper.

Indeed, the bill may not even be required given the swift action taken by the new BC Ferries board of director, whose chair — former NDP cabinet minister Joy MacPhail — personally informed Collins of his fate.

The relationship between BC Ferries and the provincial government has long been an arm’s-length kind of arrangement.

But the new board’s decision to oust the CEO may signal the length of that arm in that relationship may be getting shorter.

In judging whether the NDP government is indeed trying to wrest more control over the company, a few potential moves by the provincial cabinet would be the tip-off.

For example, will the government insist the 160 senior officer positions that were made management positions in 2010 be returned to the ferry workers’ union?

The NDP does not want BC Ferries to return to Crown corporation status, because that would transfer a lot of ferry debt onto the government’s books (not to mention the government would then be directly responsible for things like reduced sailings).

But make no mistake: the government has no intention of letting the quasi-private company do as it pleases. In the meantime, look for continued sailing cancellations as the search for a new CEO begins.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Strike worries BCIT students

A strike had British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) students worried their diplomas might be viewed as less valuable by employers than diplomas from other years. Classes were cancelled late in the term after members of the staff society walked out.

The institute and union had been trying to negotiate a new contract. As many as 1,200 students jammed into the school’s auditorium to vent their frustration. “They want to go back, and they want to go back now,” student spokesperson Wendy Lawson said.

Opinionnow Disrespectful: A vehicle used to take residents on outings was tampered with at St. Michael’s Centre in Burnaby. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Theft from vehicle at care centre was inexcusable Editor: Unfathomable! Someone actually stole the catalytic converter from the transport vehicle at St. Michael’s Centre in Burnaby.

It is inexcusable to steal from anyone, and just downright cruel to vandalize this mode of transport used for people living out their last years in a care home.

This vehicle is used to take them on various outings such as Stanley Park, the Petting Zoo, Pumpkin Patch, Queen Elizabeth Park, and

even sometimes just out for a cruise to get some ice cream. I can attest to the fact that many of the residents do not have any visitors at all and look forward to just getting out for a drive.

These thieves are disrespectful, pathetic and probably illiterate and most likely won’t read this letter.

I doubt these criminal elements in our society will even make it to their twilight years, but just maybe, one day, they will be living in care home facility pondering their past actions.

If this is ever the case, I wonder if one hot summer’s afternoon they will have no visitors and no staff to drive them anywhere and they will literally be dying for a cone.

Community now Local distance education program makes the cut Burnaby Online is among distance learning programs selected to become provincial online schools Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@tricitynews.ca

Local school officials expect the Burnaby school district’s 23-yearold distance learning program to grow after being chosen as one of 18 “provincial online learning schools” in B.C. Burnaby Online was picked after a yearlong application process, according to Ces Martino, the district principal for the program.

“They were looking for a wide variety of services and the ability to upscale and a quality program,” he said.

Since 2018, the ministry of education has been working on changes to

distance learning in the province to “ensure consistent access to quality programming for all students in the province,” according to the ministry’s website.

As part of the plan, it is picking only some of the 51 distance learning programs currently operating in the province and designating them as provincial online learning schools.

The ministry has already selected 18 public school district programs.

The process for selecting independent provincial online learning schools won’t be complete until the fall, according to the ministry.

Starting in September 2023, only provincial on-

line learning schools will be able to enrol students from outside of their districts.

All provincial online learning schools will also move to the same new online learning platform: D2L Brightspace.

Burnaby’s distance learning program was launched at the then-new Burnaby Mountain Secondary School in 1999.

Back then it was mostly a correspondence program, according to Martino.

Today, the program is run out of Cariboo Hill Secondary School.

With about 3,000 students, it offers 80 online high school courses and a kindergarten-to-Grade 7

program.

“We have students that start with us in kindergarten and go all the way through to Grade 12,” Martino said.

He said about 80 per cent of Burnaby Online students live in Burnaby while the rest live elsewhere the province.

Without the provincial online learning school designation, Burnaby Online stood to lose about 20 per cent of its students, On the whole, Martino and director of instruction Kevin Brandt said the changes to online education in the province

will be good for the Burnaby program.

For one thing, they expect more students because there will be fewer programs to choose from for B.C. parents who want to enrol their kids in classes in other districts.

And students already enrolled in Burnaby Online won’t see all that many changes, except the new online learning platform.

“There’ll be some learning for students for sure, but I do think that, from a quality of assessment end, from aligning ourselves to the redesigned curriculum, I think this learning management system is going to be better for us,” he said.

With record demand for the Burnaby school district’s summer school program, there’s no room for parents to dilly-dally if they want to get their kids into their courses of choice.

Registrations exploded this year as soon as the programs opened up in April – and parents were

ready, according to district officials.

“It seemed like parents were really on the ball and knew what they wanted and got in and picked the courses,” said Ces Martino, district principal in charge of the summer program.

“It just fills up so quickly,” added director of instruction Kevin Brandt.

“Entire schools get full in 15, 20 minutes.”

Once again, hands-on courses like robotics and art were popular at the elementary level; while math and science courses were in high demand at the high schools, according to the district.

All told, there were 8,350 registrations, representing about 7,900 students in about 415 courses.

Elementary classes are winding down this week,

but some secondary courses run until Aug. 5.

To accommodate future demand, Martino and Brandt said the district will look at opening more schools for both morning and afternoon sessions next year.

The biggest challenge, however, will be finding more teachers to teach.

This year, the district hired 370 teachers, mostly from Burnaby but also

from Vancouver, Coquitlam, Surrey and independent schools.

“We’re pretty much maxed out with our teachers,” Brandt said. “That’s kind of our limiting factor, the available staff to teach the program.”

When asked to account for the popularity of the district’s summer school program, Brandt said it comes down to offering a great program.

“I think a lot of it is repeat business,” he said.

“People have had really good experiences in previous years.That’s probably our best advertising, is our former students and their parents talking to other parents about the great programs that we offer.”

Neighbourhood squares and residential cores also make up the character areas.

The report says an additional elementary school may be needed to serve the growing Bainbridge community.

The plan also notes that high-density developments will bring “substantial child-care demand” and suggests on-site child-care facilities.

Coun. Pietro Calendino expressed disappointment at the planning and development committee about the lowered densities, especially between Lougheed Highway and Collister Drive.

Coun. Alison Gu said she was concerned whether mobility infrastructure, like pieces of

sidewalk and cycling lanes, would be built as development happens, which she said can expose people to unnecessary risk as riders follow a protected cycling lane before it ends and the lane “spits you out into traffic.” Gu hoped safe pedestrian and cycling mobility infrastructure could be pre-established.

The Bainbridge community is home to 1,635 people, according to the 2016 census, with more than half its housing stock (64 per cent) built in the 1970s.

According to city data, 48 per cent of the land is used for housing, most of it single-family.

The Lochdale urban village, between Capitol Hill on the west and Burnaby Mountain at its east, has a population of more than 3,000.

The plans have come out of three phases of public consultation.

The Bainbridge urban village, to the northwest of Burnaby Lake and southeast of the Sperling-Burnaby Lake SkyTrain station, includes low, medium and high densities for residential and commercial spaces, as well as land designated for park and community uses.

In the highest density area, buildings could be up to 20 storeys, with a landmark building of up to 25 storeys near the SkyTrain station.

Individual character areas within the Bainbridge urban village include a village centre with public plazas and dense transit-oriented development, and a high street marked by retail businesses and

Sports now Former Burnaby Express star honoured by BCHL Mario Bartel

mbartel@tricitynews.ca

The BC Hockey League is naming a new award after a former star with the Burnaby Express.

The Kyle Turris Community Award honours one player on each team in the league for their service and dedication to their community.

Turris, who grew up in New Westminster, played for the Express while the team was based in Burnaby as it awaited renovations at the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex in Coquitlam to be completed. In 2006-07 he lead

the team in scoring with 121 points in 53 games, then added another 24 points in 16 playoff games en route to a Royal Bank Cup national Junior A championship.

That summer Turris was selected third overall in the NHL entry draft by the Phoenix Coyotes, but he didn’t join the team until after he completed a season at the University of Wisconsin.

Turris spent his first three seasons as a professional shuttling between the Coyotes and the team’s minor league affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage, that plays in the American Hockey

League.

In 2011,Turris was traded to the Ottawa Sen-

ators for David Rundblad and a second round draft pick.

It was in Ottawa where Turris really hit his stride, on the ice and in the community. In six seasons with the Senators he scored 265 points in 396 games.

He and his wife, Julie, also became a part of the Capital City Condors, a community team that provided adaptive hockey opportunities to kids who are unable to play on other organized hockey teams because of cognitive or physical challenges.

tage of the position that you’re in to affect change, it’s very important,”Turris said in a press release.

Though Turris was traded to the Nashville Predators early in the 2017-18 season, he continued his connection to the Condors by helping to raise funds to bring 100 players and parents to his new home to showcase adaptive hockey in hopes of jumpstarting a similar effort.

Luna Lu is a champion.

The 15-year-old Burnaby resident claimed the BC Golf junior girls’ championship held from June 27 to July 1 at Nk’mip Canyon Desert Golf Course in Oliver.

The Burnaby North Secondary student, set to enter grade 10 in the fall, won with a score of 285 (-7) over four rounds to win gold.

She finished with scores of 75, 72, 70 and 68 during the event, edging out Amy Seung Hyun Lee of Langley by one stroke.

Entering the fourth round, Lu was in third place at two under par (-2) trailing Tina Jiang by three shots and Lee by one.

Heading to the 14th hole, Lu was two strokes back of Lee but made back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16 to ultimately clinch the tournament.

In a news release by BC Golf, Lu said she wasn’t aware she had won the tournament until Lee and Jiang told her as

“I knew I was having a pretty good day.” they left the 18th green.

“I knew I was having a pretty good day,” Lu explained to B.C. Golf’s Brad Ziemer.

“They were saying congrats to me and I really didn’t know I had won. So I was asking them, did I win, and I think it was Amy who told me I had won.

I thought we were all pretty close.”

Lu was coming off of a disappointing ending at the BC Women’s Amateur tournament two weeks earlier when she quadruple-bogeyed the 18th hole at Pitt Meadows Golf Club, nullifying her chance to win the tournament.

“To be able to win here [in Oliver] means so much to me.”

Lu, Lee and Jiang are now representing B.C. at the Canadian Junior Girls Championship at Ottawa’s Marshes Golf Club.

Q

What are common Denture Problems?

A

If you wear dentures, it is very important you keep your mouth clean and healthy. You should also only wear dentures that fit properly. Otherwise, the following problems may occur:

BCIT’s trades and tech centre rechristened Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

A building coming to BCIT’s Burnaby campus now has a new name: the Concert Properties Centre for Trades and Technology.

The centre will be a new learning space for skilled trades and engineering students, anchoring the multi-building Trades and Technology Complex currently under development at BCIT. The complex features a covered works yard, simulation-based learning areas, makerspaces, and power, welding and construction areas.

The Concert Properties building will have capacity for an additional 700 students.

BCIT says the new centre will alleviate trades training waitlists and help build a healthy talent pool in B.C. Concert Properties donated $7.5 million for the centre’s development.

The province also contributed $137 million for the technology and trades facility.

“We’re extremely humbled and honoured to see our longstanding commitment to trades training programs and BCIT recognized in this way,” said Concert co-founder and CEO, David Podmore, in a statement.

Q

My friends keep telling me about how they sold scrap gold jewellery to you and how great your gold testing machine is. Can you explain what type of machine and how it works?

A

We have a Niton Precious Metal Analyzer. This machine uses X-Ray technology to determine the purity of your gold, silver and platinum.

Most dealers use an acid and need to estimate how much gold disappears, after the acid is applied, to determine the Karat. Our machine tells us and you, because we allow you to watch, the exact karat of all the gold we need to test. Most people who do watch are fascinated and very impressed with the gold tester.

I remember a lady coming in with a bag of gold nuggets.

She was told that they were 14k . Our machine showed that they were 22k and she received over $1,000 more than our competition offered. Another gentleman was told that his bracelet was 14k and we showed him that it was the 18k he thought it was.

If you have problems with your dentures, see your Denturist right away. Your dentures may need to be adjusted or replaced.

Make sure your dentures fit. Over time, your gums and bones will change and your dentures won’t fit as well.

When this happens, your dentures need to be adjusted, relined, or replaced by your Denturist.

“This centre and these programs are key to equipping ... Canadians with the skills to secure wellpaying jobs.”

“This centre and these programs are key to equipping diverse, hardworking Canadians with the skills to secure well-paying jobs in construction, and we remain committed to working with our industry partners to find practical solutions to challenges that affect us all.”

Podmore has led BCIT’s Inspire campaign since 2018, helping to bring in over $100 million for the Trades and Technology Centre and BCIT. Paul McCullough, interim president of BCIT, said the new centre would set a new standard for applied education and research.

Concert Properties is a Vancouver-based real estate and development company co-founded by Podmore in 1989.

Q

How Often Should I Have a Check-up and Cleaning?

A

There are many factors that will determine how often you need to have your teeth cleaned. For the average patient with good oral hygiene habits, dentists recommend check-ups every 6 months. Regular cleaning can help to identify gum disease, screen for other oral diseases and can be an opportunity to discuss ways to prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Professional cleaning by a hygienist cleans your teeth in ways home care cannot. Special tools are used to remove stains and hard deposits like tartar and calculus that your toothbrush can’t remove.

Your hygienist will discuss habits like smoking and high-sugar diets that can have a negative impact on oral health and will lead to needing more frequent professional care. A patient with gum disease can require cleanings every 3-4 months, sometimes even needing advanced care with a Periodontist (gum specialist). Talk to your dentist today!

Q

Are bicycles covered under my home insurance?

A

Insurance Myth: Bicycles are covered under policies for their full replacement cost.

Insurance Truth: Most insurers in Canada have a limitation on bicycles.

We sympathize with bicycle theft victims and urge people to check their insurance policy carefully as most insurers in Canada have a limitation on bikes or have no coverage whatsoever. For an extra premium, an insurance Rider insuring a specific bike, is available that you can add to your existing policy to cover your bike for replacement cost. An insurance Rider is also available for an extra premium that will cover your bike replacement cost anywhere in the world should it get stolen.

Q

I want to start saving for my child’s education.

Where should I start?

A

Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP) are a great way to save for your child’s future, especially when combined with the Canada Education Savings Grant which pays 20% on the first $2,500 contributed each year until the child is 17. That’s up to $500 for post-secondary education each year you contribute to a maximum of $7,200, regardless of household income. There is also the Canada Learning Bond that can benefit lower income families. Provincial grants like the BC Training and Education Savings Grant offers up to $1,200 for children ages 6-9. The great part about this grant is you don’t have to make a contribution to receive it, you just have qualify. However, not all RESP providers offer it, so feel free to reach out to us if you want some help opening a qualifying account for your child.

Q A

I did some plumbing work for a client and a certificate of completion was issued 40 days ago.

He is now refusing to pay my invoice, do I still have time to register a builder’s lien?

Generally speaking, you have 45 days after the date on which the certificate of completion was issued to register a builder’s lien.

Aside from the certificate of completion, there are three other triggers for the 45-day lien filing deadline: actual completion, abandonment, and termination. It is the first of these four triggers to occur which governs all questions of lien timeliness.

Lien claimants must strictly comply with the time limits established by the statutes. The failure to file within the prescribed time limits will result in extinguishment of the claim of lien. You should immediately take steps to register a builder’s lien.

Celebrating Seniors

Many steps seniors can take to beat the heat Margaret Coates

The long-awaited summer has arrived in the Lower Mainland.

It is a time to shake off the inactivity of the winter and rainy spring months.Warm days and nights provide a wonderful incentive to get out and enjoy walking, hiking, gardening, or doing an outdoor activity like going to the park for a picnic or playing pickleball.

Last year, as we know, was complicated by a heat dome which posed serious health and safety issues for seniors, and in fact caused heat-related deaths.While we might not have a serious or life-threatening heat wave

this year, it does pay to be smart about the heat.

If the weather is sunny and warm, but not unbearable, we still need to be aware of how warmer temperatures can affect us.This is the time of the year when risks of becoming dehydrated and sick from the heat are the greatest for older people.

Dehydration occurs when you use or lose more fluid than you take in, and your body doesn’t have enough water and other fluids to carry out its normal functions. If you don’t replace lost fluids, you will get dehydrated.

Older people are at higher risk of dehydration because as we grow older our bodies have less

ability to hold on to water and to feel thirsty. So, it is advisable to drink water (best form of liquid) throughout the day.

It has been suggested that for a 150-pound person, about eight glasses of water should be consumed per day.We should also avoid sugary drinks and alcohol.

HealthLink BC says that “too much heat can be harmful to your health.

Heat-related illness is the result of your body gaining heat faster than it can cool itself down. Heat-related illness can lead to weakness, disorientation, and exhaustion. In severe cases, it can lead to heat stroke, also known as sunstroke. Heat stroke is a

life-threatening medical emergency.” HealthLink BC suggests calling 811 (available 24/7) for health

advice.

Isolated seniors or people who live alone in poorly ventilated environ-

ments or without air conditioning are very susceptible. According to Health Canada, symptoms of heat illness can include dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, headache, rapid breathing and heartbeat, extreme thirst, and decreased urination with unusually dark yellow urine. Health Canada suggests, “If you have any of these symptoms during extreme heat, move to a cool place and drink liquids right away.”

If we have a heat dome event such as the one we experienced last year, we’ll need to rely on more ways to avoid heat-related illness in the Continued on page 27

Housing challenges persist for vulnerable groups

Seniors living alone are among those most at risk, according to recent Statistics Canada report Claire Wilson

Despite fewer households in Canada’s 10 province’s living in unaffordable housing, there still remain significant challenges for vulnerable groups.

According to a recent Statistics Canada report, household shelter costs rose seven per cent since 2018. B.C. saw the most increases, 13.6 per cent, in costs such as rent, mortgages, utilities and property taxes.

In addition, prices for homes rose 20.6 per cent from 2018 to 2021.

“Even with higher housing costs, the share of households that spent 30 per cent or more of their

income on housing — a key measure of affordability — declined from 22 per cent in 2018 to 19.5 per cent in 2021,” said the study.

Rises in cost are felt most keenly by vulnerable populations like lone seniors and racialized groups. Data indicates that a senior renter living alone is more likely (49 per cent) to be in unaffordable housing than a senior who owns their home (18.8 per cent).The report also indicates that households led

by Black persons are most likely to experience economic difficulty. Forty per cent of those households reported economic hardship with two-thirds reporting COVID-19 as the

primary reason.

Many households also stayed on the social and affordable housing waitlist for significant periods. For those on a waitlist, 148,000 households

reported waiting for two years or longer compared to 76,000 who had to wait less, representing twice as many.

However, core housing needs decreased in all 10

provinces in 2021 with 1.4 million compared to 1.6 million in 2018. Statistics Canada said that households are in core need when they live in “unsuitable, inadequate or unaffordable dwellings.”

According to Dr. Thomas Davidoff, an associate professor and director of the UBC’s Centre for Urban Economics and Real Estate, rethinking zoning may be the key for vulnerable populations to access adequate housing.

“It’s so profitable to build homes that the only thing that’s stopping people is zoning,” Davidoff said. “So if you loosen zoning, and take money from the developer in exchange for that, and then take

the money and give it to low-income people, that’s a real win for renters.”

Young British Columbians will not be surprised to hear that younger populations reported decreasing satisfaction with housing affordability. For owners who made a move between 2018 and 2021, their levels of satisfaction were lower in B.C. (44 per cent) than Atlantic provinces who ranged at about 57 per cent.

“Among young adultled households, 60 per cent reported being satisfied with dwelling affordability, whereas 80 per cent of households led by seniors were satisfied,” stated the Statistics Canada report.

NORTH BURNABY •Cameron Community Centre (9523 Cameron St.) •Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre (240 Willingdon Ave.)

SOUTH BURNABY •Bonsor Recreation Complex (6550 Bonsor Ave.) •Edmonds Community Centre (7433 Edmonds St.) Cooling centres are equipped with air-conditioning, seating, drinking water, washrooms and free public wireless internet.

Exercise wisely, without getting overheated.

Staying cool and trying to stay active might involve combining activities like walking along the sea wall where it is generally cooler. Or you could go on a forest walk under a canopy of trees. As we know, the Lower Mainland has many fantastic

walks by the ocean and in the forest that often combine a tree canopy and water. If you can get to the Shipyards at the bottom of Lonsdale, for instance, join the kids at the water park — there’s no reason you can’t dip your toes in.

Enjoy the summer, but be heat smart.
