Pickets up at school

On the line: (From left to right) Edmonds elementary teachers Emily Sutherland, Karin Johnson, Peter Agg (retired), and Nancy Street picket their school Monday.

The Burnaby Teachers’ Association has said picketing will continue all week.

Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

The Burnaby school district is urging parents to have alternate arrangements ready for their kids in case the ongoing teacher labour dispute shuts down schools Sept. 2.

In a letter to parents Monday, superintendent Kevin Kaardal said the district anticipates teachers will not report to work for the scheduled first day of school if a settlement isn’t reached within the week.

“Should this be the case, regretfully, all Burnaby schools would be closed for instruction and although principals and vice-principals would be in their schools, they would be unable to provide students with instruction or supervision,” Kaardal wrote.

“We know how disappointing this will be and we regret the hardship it creates for families.”

Teachers around the province launched a full-scale strike on June 17 after three

weeks of rotating strikes.

Little progress has been made over the summer, and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association haven’t met for-

mally in face-to-face negotiations since Aug. 8.

Kaardal urged parents to keep an eye on media reports and on the school district website (sd33.bc.ca) since school

officials will hold off until Sept. 1 before deciding whether or not schools can be opened on time.

Green Party distances itself from BFC Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

The Green Party has been quick to distance itself from the Burnaby First Coalition after that party announced its candidates for November’s provincewide municipal elections included two leaders of the 2011 battle against the Burnaby school board’s anti-homophobia policy.

Former Parents’ Voice president and spokesperson Heather Leung and former Parents’ Voice school trustee candidate Helen Ward are running on the Burnaby First slate for school board and city council, respectively.

Parents’ Voice was a group formed to

fight Burnaby’s school anti-homophobia policy, passed unanimously by the school board in 2011.

Vancouver Green councillor Adriane Carr told Vancouver gay and lesbian newspaper Xtra last week that LGBT equality is a “make or break” issue for the Greens and the party would never enter into any sort of coalition with a group like Parents’ Voice.

Carrie McLaren, a former Burnaby Greens candidate, told the publication that the Green Party was not involved with Burnaby First “at all.”

McLaren, however, is listed as a Burnaby First Coalition Society director on incorporation papers filed in Victoria in February,

and longtime Green Party activist Bruce Friesen is the new party’s campaign chair.

Rick McGowan, another former Green candidate, has also been a visible figure at Burnaby First press events.

McLaren explained to the NOW last week that the Green Party had not officially endorsed the individuals’ involvement with the new coalition.

“They don’t endorse anything at a municipal level unless you have an agreement with them and you’re running as a Green Party,” she said. “We were thinking about it originally, like last year, but we didn’t have enough people who had the time to do this right now.”

McLaren said, despite disagreeing with

some Burnaby First members’ views on gay issues, she would have been willing to work with them to bring more open debate to city council and school board, both of which are currently made up exclusively of Burnaby Citizens’ Association members.

“To have actual debate and have an actual opposition, yes, I can work with anybody,” she said.

In the real world, McLaren said, people have to work with people they disagree with.

“Everybody keeps making a big fricking deal about this,” she said, “and it drives me nuts. If there’s one bad apple, the whole barrel is not bad.”

City sends ‘emergency resolution’ to UBCM to stop Kinder Morgan plans Jacob Zinn staff reporter

The City of Burnaby is lobbying for the support of the Union of B.C. Municipalities in its fight against Kinder Morgan over the proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline.

On Monday, Burnaby city council voted in favour of forwarding an emergency resolution to the UBCM – which is holding its 2014 conference next month – in an effort to prevent the energy company from conducting land surveys as it looks to tunnel through Burnaby Mountain.

The resolution is critical of the National Energy Board’s public hearing process, or lack thereof. A IN BURNABY report before council called the process “unbalanced, unfair, and biased in favor of the applicant’s corporate interests over the protection of the public from significant environmental, social and economic impacts.”

Coun. Anne Kang said for previous major energy projects, the NEB allowed for tradi-

Two-alarm fire destroys home told the NOW on Friday.

“The main thing is everybody got out OK. So now we’re just dealing with the investigation and working with the insurance company,” he said.

When firefighters arrived on scene, Tylor said their priority was getting the family of four and two basement tenants out of the home right away.

Once that was taken care of, firefighters went to work containing the two-alarm blaze before it spread to the homes on either side.

In the quiet South Burnaby neighbourhood,

The smell of smoke lingered in the air as fire investigators from the Burnaby Fire Department prepared to enter a burnt-out home on Neville Street between MacPherson and Plum avenues on Friday.

Less than 10 hours earlier, it was a much different scene at 5658 Neville Street.

Firefighters were called to the house around 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 22 when the twostorey residence caught fire.

The blaze spread throughout the home, causing damage to nearly the entire structure, Burnaby fire investigator Joe Tylor

the homes are very close together and the chance of the fire spreading was a real possibility.

Tylor credits the quick response from firefighters as to why the fire didn’t jump to the homes next door.

Despite little damage to surrounding residences, the house itself was badly damaged. Much of the roof collapsed and inside there is little that wasn’t burnt or destroyed by the blaze.

The cause of the blaze is expected to be released later this week or early next week.

OUR VIEW

B.C. ridings key in federal election IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY

W

hile our provincial politicians slumber (with several notable exceptions) on the summer barbecue circuit, our federal party leaders have been busy in this province.

The past couple of weeks have seen Prime Minister Stephen Harper, NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal party leader Justin Trudeau all visit B.C., an indication perhaps that all three see winning certain seats here as critical to forming government come the next election.

Of course, conventional wisdom is that southern Ontario and Quebec hold the keys to winning a federal election, but in a close race a number of B.C. ridings could spell the difference between forming a majority government and a minority one.

This province will have six additional ridings (giving us 42 in all) come the next election, which makes B.C. even more coveted by federal political parties.

Recent opinion polls suggest Trudeau and his federal Liberals are tops in popularity across

the country, with the NDP running slightly ahead of the ruling Conservatives. But, as everyone in this province is well aware, polls don’t have a spotless track record in predicting election outcomes.

And in this province, it would take a significant shift in voting patterns to deny the Conservatives a majority of B.C. seats in the 2015 election.

The party currently holds 21 of 36 seats, and the additional ridings coupled with the redrawing of electoral boundaries favours that party more than the others (in fact, transposing the votes from the last election over the new ridings would give the Conservatives 28 of 42 seats).

And most of the Conservative-held seats were won by large margins. Those transposed results show the party has support of more than 50 per cent of the voters in 17 ridings.

But if the polls are correct and the Conservatives are indeed losing support, the party could be vulnerable in four of the new ridings and perhaps a couple of others.

The party most likely to benefit from any Conservative slippage is the NDP, as it finished well ahead of the Liberals in the ridings that may become competitive in 2015.

Mulcair Page 7

efits. And Port Metro gets to say who uses its land and how much they pay to use it.

Port Metro is technically responsible to the federal Minister of Transport in Canada. That would be Lisa Raitt, whose resume includes a stint as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Toronto Port Authority (TPA). She had previously served as the TPA’s general counsel and harbourmaster. So, if you’re thinking that an appeal to her environmental conscience will turn things around – don’t waste your time. Oh, and in case you’re wondering if this is the

same ministry that is in charge of monitoring rail safety – you’re right. The same ministry that was called out for a lack of safety inspections on the railroad operating in Lac Mégantic. So, why wouldn’t we trust it to make environmental decisions in the Lower Mainland? Seriously, is this a test of our gullibility?

There’s something terribly wrong with a country that calls itself a democracy, yet allows a corporation to ignore citizen’s concerns and democratically elected city councils.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letter writer off on Mount Polley Dear Editor:

Re: Keep Perspective on Mine, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 20.

I have read thousands of letters to the editor in my life and there have been some good ones and bad ones. I have even written a few of the bad ones myself.

I also think that it is great that newspapers publish good and bad, as it gives us an idea of what the public is thinking. But Donald Leung’s recent letter claiming that the Mount Polley tailings breach is “not unlike any other naturally occurring mud slide” sets a new low for insulting our intelligence and his own.

Why does Mr. Leung think that tailing ponds are required? Is it just to store drinking water in case of a drought? Maybe it boosts unemployment in rural areas?

The fact of the matter is that tailing ponds store extremely toxic waste that is deadly to humans and other life. If Donald Leung thinks the runoff from Mount Polley is so pristine, I challenge him to spend his next vacation swimming and eating fish from Quesnel Lake.

Like the Lac-Mégantic disaster confirmed, it is very bad policy to leave industry to regulate itself.

While we don’t have all the facts as to why this happened, I would be willing to bet lax regulation had a significant role in the Mount Polley toxic release.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No public money for private

Re: Health care is under attack, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 20.

This letter was right on about the upcoming lawsuit to have wealthy people get in the front of the line by using private facilities by doctors like Dr. Brian Day. The right to use the private system should be given to people with money, however, there should be no right to claim under the public medicare system. Also, the doctors and nurses in the private system would need to build their own

hospitals/clinics/labs that would not be reimbursed by the public’s tax money.

All use of the private system would be at the patient’s cost and the doctors and other medical people would not be reimbursed by public tax money. That is the only way the private system could work in Canada. It is a mystery as to why Dr. Day chose Canada to immigrate from whatever Commonwealth country he came from.

He would have had the opportunity to make all the money he wants if he had just immigrated to the United States.

Mulcair: Firmer ground in B.C. continued from page 6

This will explain why Mulcair may spend a disproportionate amount of time in this province in the run-up to the next campaign.

The federal NDP has some challenges in other provinces, notably Quebec, where it unexpectedly won most of the seats in the last election. One of its Quebec MPs has quit the caucus over Mulcair’s position on Israel, and polls suggest the Liberals have surged to even strength with the NDP in that province.

Mulcair’s problems over his Mideast policy threaten to go beyond losing a Quebec MP. Many left-wing ideologues in his party strongly oppose Israel on any issue and back policies that favour Palestine. In fact, the further left side of the party is uncomfortable with Mulcair’s push for more pragmatic and centrist poli-

cies designed to expand the party’s appeal. They point to the party’s dismal results in recent byelections in Ontario and the recent provincial election as proof that such an approach doesn’t work.

But for all his troubles in Quebec and Ontario, Mulcair would seem to be on firmer ground in B.C. and his party has a reasonable chance of building on the 12 seats it currently holds.

As for the federal Liberals, it will take a complete re-enactment of Trudeaumania for the party to find much success in this province. Justin Trudeau may visit this province many times in the next year or so, but his party’s dismal support among B.C. voters has got to be discouraging for him. His party holds only two B.C. ridings, and those transposed results suggest the party is competitive in just three others.

Of course, Trudeau

has improved his party’s fortunes a great deal according to those national opinion polls, and it stole a seat from the NDP in Trinity-Spadina in a federal byelection in impressive fashion.

And Trudeau’s youth is no doubt appealing to many people, particularly younger ones. But as the B.C. NDP painfully learned in the last election campaign in this province, most young people don’t vote.

Nevertheless, Trudeau will be visiting B.C. quite a bit in the year ahead, as will Mulcair and Harper.

There are about 15 or so ridings that stand a chance of swinging from one party to another in 2015.

And winning those seats may determine whether one of those leaders forms a majority or minority government.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

As the last week before the scheduled start of school began, however, Burnaby teachers were back on the picket line and planned to stay there every weekday until Sept. 2.

“We want to make it clear that we want BCPSEA to get to the table and enter into mediation with us,” Burnaby Teachers’ Association president Rae Figursky told the NOW. “We want a deal before Sept. 2.”

The main sticking points in the labour dispute are wages, class size and class composition.

Fraud victims pay for years RAH RAH Cayley Dobie

staff reporter

Six Burnaby residents were recently identified by the Burnaby RCMP as victims of a scam that dates back to the late ’90s.

According to a release from the local RCMP detachment, the large-scale scam has been defrauding seniors across the Lower Mainland since 2013. Police say many of the victims don’t believe they are in fact victims.

“We have done our best to convince them that this is a scheme and that they will continue to lose significant amounts of money,” Burnaby RCMP Operations Officer Supt. Stephan Drolet said in a release. “Sadly, this story is not unique. This is why we are encourag-

ing the public to share this story with their families, friends and acquaintances.

It’s up to all of us to ensure our loved ones, especially those that are vulnerable, are protected against these financial vultures.”

Mounties say the scams began more than a decade ago and for most people the story is a familiar one.

In 1999, someone from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation contacted a man. He thought he had awarded a multimillion dollar contract for pipeline work in Nigeria but was told he would have to pay fees to secure the contract, the release stated.

Seven years ago, the man died and his widow continued to pay the fees, thinking the contracts, allegedly worth $58 million, will one

day be paid out, the release added.

Burnaby’s Cpl. Danielle O’Brien of the economic crime unit said in many cases the fraudsters use real people’s names to convince their victims of the scam’s validity.

“The same names are used repeatedly by different fraud groups,” she added in the release.

While pipeline scams have dwindled over the years, police are still cautioning residents to be wary of unknown requests for money.

Police are asking anyone who may have fallen victim to this scam or continues to pay into it to contact the Burnaby RCMP economic crime unit at 604-294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Corrigan blasts Port for approving coal Jacob Zinn staff reporter

blow out

Following Port Metro Vancouver’s approval of a $15 million coal transfer facility by Surrey Fraser Docks, Burnaby city council expressed its disappointment with the ruling.

Mayor Derek Corrigan led the criticism, slamming the port’s decision after cities like Portland and Oakland turned down the project and blasting the standards of Montreal-based engineering and construction company SNC-Lavalin, which reviewed FSD’s proposal.

“The last time we discussed this, I got some notoriety for suggesting we acted as if we were a banana republic,” he said, “but when I look at the report from SNCLavalin, who said in their report that there was no unacceptable risks for the project, (I have to ask) unacceptable to who? SNCLavalin?

“I doubt that there is much that is unacceptable to SNC-Lavalin, given their history.”

The creation of the coal transfer facility is expected to dramatically increase the number of coal trains through Surrey and Delta as American coal is brought into B.C. and

shipped overseas to China.

Coun. Nick Volkow stressed concerns with public safety, citing the disastrous Lac-Mégantic train derailment that killed 47 people last year.

“One of the main problems that led to the disaster in Lac-Mégantic was the fact that the federal government deregulated the railway industry and basically allowed them to operate their own shop with absolutely no oversight from anybody,” he said.

“I would urge people that may have some concerns … (to) start paying attention to what they’re proposing and take a good look at the report that was issued last week in regards to the Lac-Mégantic disaster.”

Corrigan said the reason the coal transfer facility passed in Canada is because citizens “won’t stand as firmly as people will stand in the United States.”

“As we give up more and more of our democratic right to make choices about our future, as we allow these governments to take away the opportunity for elected people to make these decisions, what we end up with are decisions that are made by corporate bureaucrats on behalf of multinational companies,” he said. “I think it really is a shame.”

he City of Burnaby is hosting a series of special activities this September for Active Aging Week, an annual worldwide event that puts a positive spin on getting older. Four local community

choices vary and support seniors in staying fit and engaged in their communities.

Staying active doesn’t necessarily mean exercising, according to Colin Milner, CEO of the International Council on Active Aging.

Milner’s for-profit enterprise puts on the Active Aging Week, which is now in its 11th year and is celebrated in 37 different countries.

To take advantage of the free activities for Active Aging Week, check out the events posted on the bulletin boards at each community centre or go online at www. burnaby.ca.

Staying active isn’t just about exercise - it includes staying socially connected, keeping your mind active, exercising and volunteering, Milner explained.

“We look at all areas of life, irrespective of your socio-economic status and irrespective of your health,”he said.“If you’re in a wheelchair, ... life doesn’t stop. It’s certainly not just about physical activity.”

Exercise can help people function longer as they age and their bodies lose strength.

“If we get older and we are inactive, we begin to lose our abilities. Physical activity and exercise allows us to maintain them for a much longer time,”Milner said.

Walking is one of the best exercises to keep joints healthy and your heart pumping.

T

he Burnaby Board of Trade has gone green – so green, in fact, that it has received Climate Smart certification for its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The BBOT received the certification after taking steps to decrease travel emissions and paper consumption. The board has committed to a carpooling policy, as well as encouraging members to bike or take transit to events.

“We see it as a part of our leadership role to help our members become more sustainable and to celebrate their successes in our community,” stated BBOT CEO and president Paul Holden of the certification.

“A part of that leadership was making sure that our own house was in order and that we understood our impacts and implemented strategies to reduce them.”

They’ve also implemented a policy to take transit to all downtown meetings, decrease singleoccupancy commutes to work by five per cent and purchase 30 to 50 per cent recycled paper for inhouse use.

The initiative is part of the BBOT’s Pledge for a Sustainable Community, launched in May 2013. To date, 115 businesses have taken the pledge. For more information, visit bbotpledge.ca/portfolio/burnaby-board-of-trade.

Fine-arts school ‘exemplary’ Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

A Burnaby fine arts elementary school has earned a special designation from an American organization dedicated to supporting excellence in art education.

Confederation Park Elementary, the Burnaby school district’s only dedicated fine arts school, earned the “Exemplary School Designation” after an intensive selfevaluation process guided by Arts Schools Network, the largest professional membership organization of specialized arts schools in the U.S. and Canada.

“This is not a competition with another school,” Network executive director Kristy Callaway told the NOW in an email, “but measuring your school against best practices and setting a course to address those areas needing refinement and celebrate areas of success.”

“This is …

Some schools take multiple measuring your years to go through the process, she said. school against The Exemplary School best practices and Designation lasts for two years, which schools re-evaluate setting a course after their performance and apply for to address those a renewal.

This year, 14 schools applied areas needing for the first time and five applied refinement and for renewals, Callaway said.

YOUR HEALTH President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch

ARTHRITIS

Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Guaranteed also for rheumatoid and sciatica, (My own affliction).

Truthful actual experiences from real people: ! For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA !I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realized I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands #1 NPN 80042283 of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. !Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister… hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Figure skaters win fifth GP medal Tom Berridge sports editor

Nose for the net: The Six Nations Arrows, in black, showed a knack for scoring in bunches against Coquitlam, winning the last four games in a six-game series against the Adanacs at the 2014 Minto Cup junior A national lacrosse championships.

When Six Nations meets West Tom Berridge sports editor

When the Six Nations Arrows Express comes West, watch out.

The Ontario Lacrosse Association junior A champions won their third-ever Minto Cup following a 14-8 victory over the Coquitlam Adanacs in Game 6 of the best-of-seven national junior lacrosse championship final in Langley on Saturday.

All three of Six Nation’s Canadian Lacrosse Association national titles have come in competitions held in British Columbia.

The last time was in 2007 when the Arrows defeated the five-time Minto champion Burnaby Lakers 19-8 in a winner-take-all single game final at Queen’s Park Arena.

That surprisingly onesided matchup before a national television audience marked the final game the storied junior Lakers would play in the Minto after 12 consecutive seasons in the national championship tournament.

It was also the first time current Six Nations runner Brendan Bomberry, the Arrows’ star in Game 5 of the Minto, experienced a Minto Cup up close.

In 2007, Bomberry was a ball boy for the Six Nations’ national championship club.

“I can’t really remember, but (I remember) the leaders really pushed the guys to make it happen,” Bomberry said following this season’s Six Nations’ equally emphatic four-game turnaround after falling behind 2-0

to Coquitlam early in the series. “(This season) I remember that leadership is what drove us to get to this point and it definitely paid off.”

Bomberry, a five-year Arrows’ junior who finished seventh with 19 points in overall Minto Cup scoring, including three goals and two assists in last Thursday’s 12-7 win over the A’s, said the team never got down on itself despite dropping the opening two games of the Minto to the West Coast champs.

The Arrows responded in Game 3 with a headspinning 19-5 win – outscoring the junior Adanac’s 7-2 in the first period, 8-3 in the second and 4-0 in the final frame – that must

have left shock waves in the Coquitlam dressing room for the remainder of the series.

In the following three games of the series, Six Nations served up at least one big, single-period score to wrestle away a third championship banner in the remainTo view ing games. a video, In Game 4, it scan came in a 5-1 midwith dle period sparked Layar by a hat trick

by Six Nation’s goal-scoring leader Josh Johnson, who topped the Minto Cup with 15 markers.

In Game 5, the Arrows broke a 7-7 tie wide open in the final frame with Bomberry’s hatty.

The end came for the Adanacs in Game 6 in the final period as well, as the

Arrows fired eight goals past the Adanacs’ keepers, including the eventual game-winning goal by Haodais Marracle, his second of the series, midway through the third frame.

“We always have an answer. We came out wanting to make a statement to the whole Canadian Lacrosse Association.

That’s what he had to do and that’s what we did,” said Bombery.

Minto Cup MVP Johnny Powless led all scorers with eight goals and 21 assists.

Six Nations keeper Doug Jamieson recorded the Minto win in goal, playing all but 28 minutes of the series and posting a Minto Cup best .846 save percentage.

“If you want to win this, you can’t shut down for a minute,” Bomberry said.

ZhaoKai Pang and Madeline Edwards kicked off the international junior Grand Prix figure skating season with a second-place medal at Courchevel in France.

Edwards, 18, and 19year-old Pang of Burnaby won the silver medal in ice dance in the first stop on the International Skating Union junior GP circuit following a tight battle against two Russian teams.

Edwards and Pang led after the opening short dance with a 51.84 score, just six points shy of their personal best that was achieved in their bronzemedal performance at the World junior championships last season.

T h e i r To final score view a video, of 129.62 scan was less with than three Layar points back of eventual champion Alla Loboda and Pavel Drozd, who garnered 132.44 points to take the gold.

The other Russian pair of Anastasia Shpilevaya and Grigory Smirnov placed third at 121.42. Ukraine’s Alexandra Nazarova and Maxim Nikitin were fourth.

“Our big objective is to return to the world juniors and hopefully improve our result,” said Pang in a Skate Canada press release.

“This is exactly the kind of start we wanted to our international season. What stood out for me wasn’t any particular move, but the energy we displayed

from start to finish.”

Last season, the former Canadian junior champions placed seventh in their senior national debut. It was the pair’s fifth career Grand Prix medal.

“We were extremely happy with how we skated,” said Edwards in the release.

“We were really comfortable and relaxed which is a feeling we really wanted to improve over last season. … The talent here is very deep. The result was something we were trying not to be overly worried about at this point in the season. We just wanted this new program to show our maturity and personalities.”

Last year, the Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe-coached ice dance team won a silver medal in Mexico and a bronze in the

Czech Republic.

Edwards and Pang prepped for France with a first-place finish at the recent B.C./Yukon SummerSkate competition at Burnaby 8Rinks.

The two B.C. Centre of Excellence skaters will compete again next month in Aichi, Japan at the fourth stop on the junior GP circuit.

Brianna Delmaestro and Timothy Lum of Burnaby, who nipped Edwards and Pang in the ice dance free skate at the recent SummerSkate, will compete later this week at the junior Grand Prix event in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The Burnaby ice dance team of Danielle Wu and Spencer Soo will also tackle a junior GP event in Ostrava, Czech Republic from Sept. 3 to 7.

Amidst Burnaby Mountain Golf Course’s sprawling, manicured lawns and gardens bursting with blooms, is a wonderful hidden gem dining experience - a recent renovation to the building now adds to the already impressive ambiance. A month ago, the newly revamped Burnaby Mountain Clubhouse opened its doors as a new upscale casual restaurant and a stunning newly renovated banquet facility. Still in the works is a plan to update the coffee house dubbed The Bistro.

The casual upscale restaurant Mulligans House, holds up to 60 people inside and 60 people on the stunning patio overlooking the putting green. From nearly every seat and from both its outdoor patios, you get a great view of either the golf course or Squint Lake. The renovation now boasts a very warm West Coast architecture feel that is accented with beautiful wood and stunning light fixtures; giving the room a mixture of a traditional and modern look to keep the atmosphere warm and inviting.

“It really is quite beautiful here,” says Joanne Rombouts, with the City of Burnaby. “Now that we are a casual restaurant, feel free to bring your children … you don’t have to be a golfer to come and enjoy the ambience and the great cuisine. Both the quality and creativity of the menu has gone decidedly upscale.” A new West Coast inspired menu has been unveiled with new additions coming. The menu was inspired with a strong focus on fresh local ingredients, including 100% AAA beef patties for the gourmet burgers, Free-Range chicken and eggs, and all organic bread products.

The Bistro coffee house caters to golfers at the turn, families, and is also open for breakfast. They offer a variety of sandwiches, wraps, baked goods and snacks to grab and go. The Bistro holds 30 people inside and the patio overlooking the 10th tee, holds 30 people outside.

The banquet room has also been given a complete facelift – making it the perfect spot for a wedding or any special occasion. It now features two gorgeous chandeliers, new flooring and seating that would make any bride thrilled to host her special day there.

Mulligans House, The Bistro and Clubhouse Banquet Facilities are located at Burnaby Mountain Golf Course, 7600 Halifax St., Burnaby. For more information or to inquire about booking an event, please contact 604-297-4954.
