Police officers from all over British Columbia and Canada came to-

gether in Richmond to honour slain Burnaby RCMP Const. Shaelyn Yang during a regimental funeral Wednesday.

Yang, 31, was killed in the line of duty on Oct. 18 while responding to a call in a Burnaby park.

Led by the RCMP pipe band, more than 4,000 RCMP and municipal officers marched to the Richmond Olympic Oval in a procession forYang on a sunny morning.

A sea of red moved along Russ Baker Way as

Mounties accompanied Yang’s hearse, passing under a Canadian flag raised over the road by Richmond Fire-Rescue.

The Mounties were followed by municipal police officers, who were seen donning a memorial rib-

bon.

Meanwhile, crowds outside the Oval were quiet and sombre as they waited for the procession’s arrival. Attendees stood as the RCMP regimental flag, followed by Yang’s procession, entered

shortly after 11 a.m. Pallbearers loweredYang’s coffin, covered with a Canadian flag, at the front of the hall.

A flower was laid upon Yang’s coffin.

Citynow Wearing of red serge honours fallen RCMP officer

Mounties reflect on comradeship as they step into their dress uniforms for slain constable’s funeral Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Richmond’s Olympic Oval was filled with a sea of red Wednesday as Mounties in their iconic scarlet tunics honoured slain Burnaby RCMP Const.

ShaelynYang at a full regimental funeral.

“There’s lots of emotions that come out,” Coquitlam RCMP Const. Jamie Buis said earlier in the week when asked what he would be thinking when he stepped into his RCMP dress uniform. “It’s going to be tough to put it on, but also you’re proud because you’re doing your duty in that circumstance to be able to show your respect but also be part of that larger group that’s supporting everyone that’s suffering, that’s been dealing with the tragic loss of life.”

Buis was in Burnaby at Seville Tailors on Monday, picking up his red coat, which needed some updated badges sewn on.

His partner, Surrey RCMP Cpl. Hillary Murray, was there too, making sure her own uniform was ready to go.

“I haven’t worn it for a few years, and it feels very important for me to wear it Wednesday just to be able to stand with everyone and show how important she was and still is and her job,” Murray said. “It’s the same job

that I do. She was my age. She was in my similar circumstances, so it hits you pretty close to home.”

The last time Burnaby RCMP Const.Tyler Milford donned his red serge was for photos at his wedding a couple months ago.

This time, he said he would be thinking ofYang and other officers who have lost their lives in

the line of duty this year.

“It’s been a tough couple months, just what’s been going on in Ontario, and just thinking of Shaelyn, knowing her from the detachment,” Milford said.

“It’s surreal. It’s something you never thought would happen here.”

Sgt. Ben Robinson, who works with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement

Unit, said he expected “a lot of feelings, a lot of sorrow” when he put on his red coat.

Like many of his fellow Mounties, this was his first regimental funeral.

“It’s about being there together, the togetherness of the force and being there for each other,” he said.

With hundreds of Mounties preparing forYang’s funeral,

Seville Tailors was lined for days with racks of red coats needing alterations, missing buttons and updated badges reflecting rank and years of service.

“It’s a sad, sad thing that happened, and they want to show their respect,” said owner Pat Cocco of the Mounties who streamed into his Curragh Avenue shop.

Rows of red coats with tags attached hung from racks at the shop Tuesday, while others were still being pressed and stitched.

All the while, a steady stream of RCMP officers, some in service uniforms and others in civilian garb, filed through the door to pick up the scarlet tunics they would put on to pay respect to their fallen comrade.

Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Mike Kalanj said putting on his dress uniform would never be the same again.

“It’s going to be a tough day,” he said. “We’re going to honour Shaelyn, and, every time after that that I put that serge on, she’ll cross my mind,” he said.

Yang, 31, was killed while attending a transient camp at Broadview Park on Oct. 18.

She had graduated from the RCMP’s training academy less than three years earlier.

“Shaelyn was so proud of her uniform,” said her family in a statement.

“Shaelyn is with us in our hearts,” fellow officer tells mourners Continued from page 1 The national anthem was then sung.

Yang’s family and friends spoke in loving memory of the fallen Mountie.

Jamie Simpson, who representedYang’s wife, Simone, and family, told attendees the couple had gotten married in February 2020 and adopted a puppy.

“Shae was driven to succeed; she knew what she wanted and went for it. Her dream was to join the RCMP. She believed

in helping people,” he said.

WhenYang was assigned to the Burnaby detachment after training in Regina,Yang and her loved ones were thrilled, said Simpson.

“Life was perfect,” he added.

Simpson recalled that outreach work was “extremely important” to Yang and it was a perfect fit for her.

“She was loving yet firm and treated everyone the same.When someone was at their lowest, most vul-

nerable, she was the officer that they needed. She brought love, strength and compassion without judgment,” he said.

“Farewell, our precious, dear Shae.”

Yang’s cousin, Ash Tan, saidYang’s whole life was “dedicated to helping others.”

“All of us — all her family and friends who’ve loved her and have been so proud of her — we’ve always known this. And now all of Canada and Taiwan and the whole world can join us in know-

ing this too,” he said.

Tan hopedYang’s compassion and heroism would inspire people so “what made ShaelynYang extraordinary will become ordinary.

“She faced so much adversity.The sort of adversity that can really change a person. But in all the time I knew her, she only ever grew warmer and kinder than before,” said Tan. “Shae faced everything in life with a laugh, a smile and an open heart.

And the world was all the

brighter for it. And yes, it feels colder now without her here.”

Const. Inder Gill,Yang’s friend, also spoke at the service on behalf of other RCMP officers.

Gill, who had worked withYang during the past three years, recalled he had reassured his father of his safety when news broke aboutYang’s death.

“For Shaelyn, she would not be able to do this for her family or for her wife.

And I so dearly wish each day that this was different,” he said.

Gill told attendeesYang was the heart of their work family. She shone “so brightly,” he told the crowd, noting “the world has seen a mere glimpse.”

“To [my work colleagues] I say this: know that you are not alone. For every call that you will attend, for every decision you will have to make, for every life that you will share, every tear that is shed — you are not alone,” he said.

“Shaelyn is with us in our hearts and she will forever remain in our hearts.”

Citynow Woman charged with druggings Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Given the burden of influenza disease on seniors & the benefits of vaccination, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization recommends the Quadrivalent High Dose Influenza Vaccine over the standard dose for those seniors 65+. Ask your pharmacist about which vaccines are available for you. The High Dose Flu Vaccine has 4 x the antigen content as compared to the standard dose.

Charges have been laid in connection with men being drugged and having their belongings stolen while using an escort service in several cities, including Burnaby.

Surrey RCMP launched an investigation in 2021 after frontline officers linked the druggings, including one in February 2021 where a man died after allegedly being administered a substance during an encounter, according to police.

One pair of drugging and theft-over-$5,000 charges was related to an incident in Burnaby on June 19, according to court records.

Investigators believe there may be others who are “reluctant to come forward to police,” police said.

“We are encouraging anyone with information to come forward and make a police report with the Surrey RCMP serious crime unit,” Surrey RCMP media relations officer, Cpl.Vanessa Munn said in the release.

The investigation was “multijurisdictional and complex,” involving alleged offences in Burnaby, Surrey, Langley and Vancouver, according to police.

On Sept. 20, Surrey RCMP arrestedVancouver resident Jessica Nicole Renee Kane, 30.

She has been charged with manslaughter, seven counts of administering a stupefying or overpowering drug or substance, six counts of theft over $5,000, one count of theft, four counts of fraud and two counts of extortion.

WEEKLY ONLINE POLL

Security costs sink B.C. Olympics bid

T

he B.C. government’s decision to not financially support the 2030 Winter Olympics speaks to how far the whole Olympics “thing” may be evolving into a sunset industry.

Few cities and countries are even interested in hosting the Games, whether they are of the summer variety or the winter kind.

The B.C. decision leaves just Sapporo, Japan, and Salt Lake City in the bidding for the 2030 Olympics, although Salt Lake City says it would prefer to host the 2034 Games.

And Sapporo’s bid may be in danger as the fallout continues from allegations of corruption tied to the Tokyo Summer Olympics.

So many cities dropped

out of bidding that just two cities — Los Angeles and Paris — were left standing to host the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics.

By contrast, there was genuine excitement in the run-up to the 2010 Winter Olympics as eight cities submitted bids. The Vancouver bid, first submitted by the BC NDP government under Premier Glen Clark in the 1990s, won out and the stage was set for a successful but expensive party.

One budget line item gave the current B.C. government pause for particular concern.

That would be the security costs, which went from a budgeted $175 million in 2010 to nearly $1 billion when all the bills were paid.

Security costs for the

2030 Olympics bid were also hovering around $1 billion, but there were fears within government that the cost could grow and grow, as it is hard to argue against making things safer no matter how much money it costs.

B.C.’s share of the costs associated with the 2030 bid would come close to $3 billion by 2030, according to a government document.

When the bid was first announced, the reaction of the B.C. government and Premier John Horgan was tepid at best. So when the axe fell, it was not surprising in the least (in fact, the reaction of some reporters and politicians was along the lines of, “Oh yeah, that Olympic bid no one is talking about.”)

In any event, the government has clearly concluded the expenditure of a massive amount of money in such a fashion doesn’t make it on its list of priorities. It is also worth noting that the incoming premier, David Eby, was an ardent opponent of the 2010 Olympics while he was a civil liberties lawyer.

Clearly, the Olympic movement is waning. The 2022 Beijing Olympics attracted the lowest-ever television ratings in the U.S., fewer and fewer cities are bidding to host them, and they are increasingly tied to corruption and ballooning debt.

Sounds like B.C. got out just in time.

LIVE IN THE MOMENT

Pedestrians, you need to keep yourselves safe Editor: With all of the recent traffic configuration changes taking place, along with shortening daylight hours and endless rainfall, now would be a good time as any to remind pedestrians how pedestrian cross signals work.

Under section 132 of the Motor Vehicle Act, the very moment the signal begins flashing red it’s too late to begin crossing. Signals with countdown timers tell those who are already crossing to expedite their walk — this does not mean you can step off the curb and begin crossing.

It’s also true that it’s more likely you’ll be injured crossing against the flashing red than to actually be ticketed; however, your safety is more important than wherever you’re rushing off to. Safety is a shared responsibility, but, ultimately, the 3,000-kilogram car will win that duel, and with the new no-fault insurance system that we now have, your right to sue that driver has essentially been prohibited.

The driver will move on with his life while you may be stuck with life-altering injuries or worse.

Please drop your feelings of entitlement, put away your phone, and wear bright-coloured

Community now 15,000 Metrotown residents now have health centre Urgent and Primary Care Centre at 4555 Kingsway will be ‘close to fully staffed,’ health minister says

from readying the seafood restaurant for Fraser Health.

The appeals court declined to issue the injunction, saying Central Park had already scheduled construction and could be liable to Fraser Health if the premises weren’t ready on schedule.

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A building that once housed an office supply store and then a never-opened seafood restaurant has been transformed into a new health-care centre to serve the more than 15,000 people in Burnaby’s Metrotown area who don’t have a family doctor.

As of Nov. 1, Metrotown residents who don’t have a primary-care physician or who need treatment for issues like minor cuts, burns and sprains have been able to walk in to the new Metrotown Urgent and Primary Care Centre at 4555 Kingsway — without a referral.

The Fraser Health Authority has spent nearly $4.4 million renovating the 696-square-metre space, creating two consultation rooms, six exam rooms, one group therapy and education room, an assessment room as well as offices and collaborative workspaces, according to information presented at a news conference Oct. 28.

Urgent medical care at the facility is now available from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Primary care will be available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday once all staff have been

hired. $5M ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS Once it’s fully staffed, the centre will have about 23.2 full-time-equivalent health-care workers, including family doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, clinical counsellors and clinical pharmacists.

Health Minister Adrian Dix, who was in Burnaby for last week’s ribbon cutting, said 18 of the health-

care workers had already been hired, and the facility would be “close to fully staffed” when it opened.

The annual operating cost of the centre will about $5 million, he said.

This is Burnaby’s second urgent and primary care centre.

The Edmonds Urgent and Primary Care Centre opened at 7315 Edmonds St. in the fall of 2019.

LEGAL BATTLE The building that

houses the new Metrotown health-care centre was the focus of a legal dispute between Peninsula Seafood, a former tenant, and Bosa-owned Central Park Developments Ltd. Central Park, which owns the property, had cancelled Peninsula Seafood’s lease because the restaurant had been “persistently late” with rent payments, according to court documents.

But Peninsula, which never opened, said it had

already sunk $2 million in renovations into the building and petitioned B.C. Supreme Court to order Central Park to keep the lease in place.

But Justice George Macintosh denied that petition largely because Fraser Health had already signed a 10-year lease for the property.

Peninsula appealed Macintosh’s decision and applied to the B.C. Court of Appeal for an injunction preventing Central Park

UNDER PRESSURE Fraser Health, meanwhile, was under pressure from the provincial government to finish the centre or open an interim one somewhere else, according to the court’s March 1, 2021 ruling.

“Fraser Health contends that if the injunction is granted, it will still be required to comply with that deadline, putting it in an untenable situation,” states the ruling. “If the premises are not ready on time, Fraser Health could be required to take on a less suitable temporary space, resulting in obligations under two leases, as well as the cost of building out two urgent and primary care clinics in different locations.”

By March 2021, Fraser Health had been looking for two years to find a place in Metrotown for an urgent and primary care clinic to serve “over 15,000 people in the area without a primary care physician,” according to the ruling.

Citynow Tribunal orders strata to deal with pigeon problem

Owner says a dead pigeon, eggs, waste, fake owls, bird spikes and a rubber snake have landed on her deck Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The B.C. Civil ResolutionTribunal has ordered a Burnaby strata to do more about its pigeon problem than tell residents to keep their balconies clear and use fake owls as deterrents.

TiffanyThoreson, a resident of the Esprit 2 highrise at 7325 Arcola St. in the Edmonds neighbourhood, took her strata to the tribunal over a list of grievances, including pigeons, according to a recent tribunal ruling.

Thoreson said pigeons have infested common property at the building and argued the strata was obligated to hire a pest control company to deal with them.

But the strata said it had

done enough and birds roosting in tall buildings was a natural phenomenon in cities.

Tribunal member David Jiang disagreed.

He ruled the strata had “acted unreasonably” in not addressing its pigeon problem; gave it 60 days to come up with two proposals from pest control companies; and ordered it to hold a meeting within 120 days to vote on one or more ways to deal with the troublesome birds.

“I find it unproven that the strata attempted any solutions or seriously investigated the cost to do so,” Jiang wrote. “I find it was obligated to do so, given the complaints of the applicants and other owners over the years.”

Thoreson had person-

ally gotten a quote from a pest control company that found pigeons were “targeting” parts of her building. “(The pest control company) observed pigeon waste on window ledges and balconies. It also saw pigeons sitting on window

ledges and seemingly entering strata lots on floors 11 and 12,” stated the ruling.

Further evidence of the building’s pigeon problem has been dropping for years ontoThoreson’s fifth-floor deck.

Thoreson submit-

ted photos of some of the items that have landed on her deck, including a dead pigeon, cracked pigeon eggs, pigeon waste, bird seeds, several fake owls, strips of bird spikes and a rubber snake.

Jiang concluded it was likely a person using Thoreson’s deck faced a “non-trivial risk of being hit by pigeon waste.”

Other debris that has landed onThoreson’s deck since she moved in in 2020 has included cigarette butts, dog toys, gardening materials, garbage, a broom handle and even a metal bar, according to the ruling.

The strata manager initially suggested a large umbrella was the “best solution” to the problem, but Thoreson installed an out-

door canopy tent on the deck instead.

The strata told her to take it down and put up an umbrella or risk fines.

WhenThoreson got a quote for an aluminum patio cover, the strata rejected it, saying it wouldn’t “fit the building’s aesthetic,” soThoreson appealed to the tribunal for an order forcing the strata to allow her to install the aluminum patio cover.

Jiang said he couldn’t do that but did order the strata to hold a meeting within 120 days to vote on the aluminum patio cover or another design of Thoreson’s choice.

Jiang also ordered the strata to payThoreson $122.50 as partial reimbursement of her tribunal fees.

Citynow Crypto scam victim speaks out

Burnaby resident loses $16,000 to fraud after answering online ad Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby resident who says she was swindled out of $16,000 in an elaborate cryptocurrency scam is speaking out to prevent others from being taken in.

Donna Stark told the Better Business Bureau she responded to an online ad that promised high-level growth for a small investment of $250 into a cryptocurrency purportedly linked to Elon Musk, according to a Better Business Bureau news release.

Stark said she was quickly contacted by a salesperson who worked with her for several days to

She said she was then transferred to a “trader” who was supposed to help

her make money through Shakepay, a Canadian mobile crypto-trading platform app used to buy and sell Bitcoin.

“He only left me alone finally once he took out every penny from my credit card and my chequing account,” Stark said.

Later, the man’s partner phoned to say the market had crashed and Stark had lost all her money.

“I knew that this was not true and the whole thing was a scam and that they got what they wanted from me,” Stark said.

“There was no one to phone as they used burner phones, and I wrote, but they never responded.”

Property damage: Firefighters mop up a shed and fence fire at a house in the 4500 block of Smith Avenue in Burnaby on Halloween night. PHOTO CURTIS KREKLAU/SOUTH FRASER NEWS SERVICES

Halloween a busy night for Burnaby firefighters Extra truck, personnel put into service in city Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

It was a busy Halloween night for the Burnaby Fire Department.

“We had a lot of calls,” assistant fire Chief Graham Lamont told the NOW. Just after 9 p.m., fire crews were called to the 4500 block of Smith Avenue for a shed and fence fire that scorched the side of a house, damaging soffits, gutters and siding, according to Lamont.

A few hours later, at 12:45 a.m., firefighters were called to the 5700 block of Elsom Avenue for a residential building fire, Lamont said.

At that scene, they found

heavy smoke and flames coming out of the back corner of the building.

Crews also responded to more minor calls, like a rubbish fire at a construction site in the 5700 block of Portland Street at about 8:55 p.m., and medical calls, like a pepper spraying incident on Pandora Street in North Burnaby at about 10:30 p.m.

“It was a busy night,” Lamont said.

Assistant fire Chief Gavin Summers, who was interviewed at the Smith Avenue shed fire, said the fire department had put extra resources in place in anticipation of a jump in calls on Halloween night.

Summers said he sus-

pected fireworks were to blame for the shed fire because of all the fireworks that had been going off around the neighbourhood.

But preliminary investigations into that fire and the Elsom blaze have so far proved inconclusive, according to Rob Lamoureux, the fire department’s acting chief of fire prevention.

“There were no witnesses,” he said. “Without any eyewitnesses or really any kind of physical proof, it’s hard to prove.”

Halloween fireworks are legal in Burnaby, but only on private property and only with the permission of the property owner.

‘Incredible’: Salmon return to spawn in city’s creeks Where to see salmon in Burnaby Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

It’s salmon spawning season.

With the rainy season finally beginning, it’s great news for salmon making the long and arduous journey back to the place they were born.

Renowned environmentalist and Burnaby resident Mark Angelo said the recent rains have been very positive in enabling salmon to move into local creeks.

“We’re so lucky to live in a community that still has so many intact streams

and then has a number of places where people can go and see salmon,” Angelo said.

“To get a close-up look at chum salmon returning and spawning right in the midst of our city, that’s just an incredible thing to see.”

The July-to-October drought delayed upstream migration for many salmon runs and also caused “mass die-offs of pink salmon on the Central Coast,” according to a press release from Pacific Salmon Foundation.

You can spot salmon for about one or two more weeks before the season ends.

WHERE TO SPOT SALMON IN BURNABY Ï Stoney Creek Ï Cariboo Dam at the

east end of Burnaby Lake Ï Eagle Creek (Charles Rummel Park is a good viewing location) Ï Beecher Creek Ï Guichon Creek (behind the BCAA building on Willingdon Glen looking downstream is a good viewing spot) Ï Still Creek (on Gilmore across from Dick’s Lumber looking upstream is often a good spot) Ï Buckingham Creek on the north side of the Deer Lake Beach parking lot) will often have chum return in early November.

Citynow TMX protesters arrested in Burnaby Anti-pipeline demonstration broken up by RCMP as bikeway closed Lauren Vanderdeen

lvanderdeen@burnabynow.com

RCMP descended upon aTrans Mountain (TMX) pipeline demonstration on Monday morning (Oct. 31) and arrested three protesters.

The activists were arrested for criminal contempt of court and released to appear in court at a later date, according to an RCMP press release.

The volunteer organization, Protect the Planet, set up tents along the Brunette Fraser Regional Greenway off the 8700-block of Government Street last week, adjacent to the pipeline construction site.

The group said it wants to keep watch over the construction activities, particularly those close to salmon-bearing Stoney Creek.

The three people arrested were Khursten Bullock, 35, Lorne Salter, 76, and Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta, 81, according to a press release from Protect the Planet.

It has set up a second camp outside the injunction zone since the arrests.

The Brunette Fraser Regional Greenway-Burnaby Mountain UrbanTrail will be temporarily closed to traffic, with a detour, until at least spring 2023.

While theTMX pipeline expansion is approved and under construction, activists haven’t stopped protesting the project.

Before the arrests, the NOW spoke to the activists camping at the Government Street construction site.

“It’s not over til it’s over,” Salter said.

“Just because it’s approved doesn’t mean it’s environmentally friendly,” added Bullock.

SFU professor and climate activistTimTakaro said the protest is meant to point out “the government fallacy that we pretend like we’re climate leaders but we’re actually leading in emissions.”

He noted Canada is the worst of G7 countries in per capita fossil fuel CO2 emissions.

Burnaby Coun. Alison Gu and councillor-elect Maita Santiago visited the camp lastTuesday in support of the cause.

Takaro said the group is concerned with the construction site’s proximity to salmon-bearing Stoney Creek, right as salmon spawning season begins.

“We are mostly concerned about the creek, so that’s why we put the watchtower right there.”

Trans Mountain said it is using a “unique crossing method” at the creek that will minimize the impact to the riparian area, with the pipeline “installed within the road bed and over existing culverts.”

MORE TMX PROTESTS IN BURNABY The activist group Climate Convergence Metro Vancouver hosted a protest at the intersection of Lougheed Highway and ProductionWay on Oct. 20, with signs and banners opposing theTrans Mountain and Coastal GasLink pipelines.

The intersection action

was to highlight “how $17 billion of taxpayer money is going to be lost due to theTrans Mountain pipeline expansion,” said Alison Bodine, Climate Convergence central organizer.

“It’s apparent to most people that you shouldn’t be taking more oil out of the ground, shipping it off and burning it to contribute to further greenhouse gases,” she said.

“The staff are lovely and make you feel so welcome.”

Come Home to PARC For Win, the move to Mulberry PARC was a step forward that gave her a new lease on life. She didn’t like living alone and felt she’d better make a move while she still could.

Although the gardening, knitting, painting, fitness classes, entertainment and scenic day trips keep her occupied, she claims it’s the staff that she values most.

Community now Burnaby’s immigrant population rises Proportion of immigrants, non-permanent residents up since 2016 Abhinaya Natesh

anatesh@burnabynow.com

Burnaby continues to show its strength as a major draw for immigrants, newly released Canadian census data shows.

According to the census, there are 123,795 immigrants living in the city, in addition to 16,795 nonpermanent residents.Together they make up 57.2 per cent of the city’s population as of 2021 — an increase compared with the 55.5 per cent noted in the last census of 2016.

In the last decade, Burnaby has added 32,645 immigrants. Of those, 57.5 per cent immigrated between 2016 and 2021.

Recently released census data notes that immigrants make up about a quarter

of Canada’s population, a significant increase from 18.4 per cent to 23 per cent in the last decade.

Economic and educational opportunities bring a hundred thousand immigrants to the country every year.The Statistics Canada data shows 60.5 per cent of new arrivals are economic immigrants.

While Ontario still remains a top destination for immigrants, B.C. has become an increasingly popular pick for new arrivals.

The data reflects an increase in mobility, showing that most of the immigrant population in Burnaby (close to 75 per cent) came from Asia — 33 per cent from China, followed by about 12 per cent each from the Philippines and Hong Kong.

In the last decade, Burnaby has added 32,645 immigrants.

In the last five years, the percentage of immigrants hailing from India has grown substantially — from eight per cent to 18.2 percent.

In February, it was announced the Canadian soccer icon had signed a new deal with Portland through 2022, with an option for 2023.

“We are excited to resign Christine so that she

can continue her career as a Thorn. She’s always been a Thorn, and she’s made it clear that she always wants to be a Thorn,” Karina LeBlanc,Thorns FC general manager and Sinclair’s former Canadian teammate,

said in a statement.

“What she has done for this team as a leader, for this organization and this community has been massive. She is a great human and the epitome of what a Thorns player should be.”

Memorial Funeral Service for ALLEN, Shirley Maud

GANGNON, Christine Tracy September 3, 1945 - October 20, 2022

Shirley Maud Allen (née Corbould), age 98, passed away peacefully in Duncan B.C. on October 21st, 2020.

She was born in 1922 in New Westminster, B.C., where she lived almost continuously for 93 years.

It is with great sadness the Gangnon family announce the passing of our beloved matriarch Christine on October 20, 2022. Christine passed peacefully at Vancouver General Hospital surrounded by her loving family.

During WW2 she worked for 2 years as a secretary for the Aluminum Company of Canada in Montreal.

Starting in 1944 she studied languages at UBC and obtained her BA (Honours) degree in 1947. She married Ernest Allen in 1948 and stayed home to raise two sons. Volunteering was an important part of her life. She was past President of the University Women’s Club, acted as secretary of the St. Barnabas Anglican Church Committee for 14 years, worked with the CNIB for 32 years, and was a member of the PEO Sisterhood for 50 years.

She played tennis into her mid-eighties, was an avid reader (in any of four languages) and a passionate animal lover. There were only a few years of her life when she did not have a dog as a companion.

Family was really the focus of her life and her greatest joy. Her love and devotion will be missed.

She is predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Ernest Allen, her eldest son, Kenneth Donn Allen, and by her three brothers Gordon, Donovan, and Kenneth Corbould. She is survived by her son, Gordon Allen, her daughters in law Shirley Imada and Jan Christie, and her grandchildren Jeni Christie and Yarrow, Rachael, and Graeme Allen.

Mom’s ashes have been interred in the Church of England section of the Fraser Cemetery in New Westminster.

There will be a Memorial Funeral Service held at the St. Barnabas Church at 1010 5th Avenue in New Westminster on Saturday, November 5th, 2022, at 2:00 PM. A reception will follow in the adjacent hall.
