Fatal fall triggers complaint from family Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
When Patti Watson left her 97-year-old mother Viola Wilson at Fellburn Care Centre on May 16, her mother looked lovely as she always did during their visits. “Every day she dressed up nicely,” Watson said, “and, no matter what, she would be at the window waving till we were out of sight and blowing kisses.” When Watson saw her mother again the following morning, Wilson was at Burnaby Hospital with a broken neck and a fatal deep-brain bleed – her eye and hand black and swollen. “It was all so unexpected, so shocking,” Watson said. “From looking just lovely to black and blue and blood all over her, it was very painful.” Her mother had sustained the massive injuries from what police and Fraser Health investigators both concluded was an unwitnessed fall. But Watson and her brother Doug Wilson think their mother might still be alive today if the care home had had proper fall precautions in place, especially since their mother had already experienced an earlier unwitnessed fall just two days before. The pair lodged a complaint of inadequate care with the Fraser Health Authority, but an

Survey: Opposition to pipeline grows in city Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
Burnaby residents are backing the city’s opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline in growing numbers, according to a new online survey commissioned by city hall. The city first surveyed residents in June and found 61 per cent of respondents (who had an opinion in the matter) were against the pipeline expansion, but the
latest numbers show that opposition has risen to 68 per cent. “We want to be sure that we are understanding citizens’ ongoing and developing concerns about this project, providing them with all of the information we have available,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said in a news release Monday. The city hired Insights West to conduct the second survey in September, and according to the results, more local

residents are aware of key elements of the project. Those elements include the increased volume of oil shipments Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion would bring. People are also aware the “new” oil is destined for foreign markets and that Kinder Morgan is primarily shipping unrefined bitumen, a tar-like form of petroleum from the Alberta oil sands. Respondents also knew that Kinder Morgan had changed its routing preferences and that in Burnaby,
90 per cent of the route will not follow the existing pipeline’s path, which means the expansion project is more akin to a new pipeline than a twinning project. Fewer respondents believe the expansion project will bring long-term jobs, something Kinder Morgan has been pitching as a benefit of the project. (That number went from 57 per cent in the first poll to 48 per cent in the most recent.) Survey Page 10

RESIDENT SAYS DRIVERS CAN’T SEE SIGNS, BUT PEDESTRIANS ASSUME IT’S SAFE
‘It’s a real deathtrap’: Jim Wu Jacob Zinn staff reporter
A South Burnaby resident is trying to bring attention to a dangerous crosswalk in hopes the city will make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists. Jim Wu lives near the intersection of Nelson Avenue and Imperial Street, where a pedestrian crosswalk runs parallel to the SkyTrain on the south side. That crosswalk has been the scene of about eight car accidents involving pedestrians or cyclists this past summer, according to Wu. “For other cyclists or pedestrians who may not be so familiar with this location, it’s a real deathtrap, to put it in not-so-kind words,” he said. “They assume, ‘It’s a crosswalk, I can legally cross without any dangers or hazards,’ but the drivers, they don’t pay attention at all. They can’t see the signs.” According to Wu, the signs suspended above the road are blocked by the SkyTrain route when heading south, and the street-level signs are sometimes hidden in the shadows of the track. He also said speeding is an issue along Nelson, and with cars parked along the street, he says southbound drivers may be more focused on merging than on people crossing in front of them. “It just creates a whole bunch of manoeuvres that take away from their view, and before they know it, someone tries to cross the road and they hit someone,” he said. Wu, who has lived in the area since 1996, used to take that crosswalk frequently to and from Burnaby South Secondary. “All through high school, it was fine,” he said. “I think it’s prob-

Danger zone: According to South Burnaby resident Jim Wu, the crosswalk on Nelson Avenue just south of Imperial Street is a “deathtrap” for pedestrians and cyclists. The crosswalk signs are hard to see for motorists, and its positioning makes it difficult for drivers to manoeuvre. ably just within the last five years – there’s a lot more traffic now. I try to avoid it nowadays and use the traffic light.” Wu said he would like to see a signal installed at the crosswalk with flashing lights. Coun. Anne Kang, who is the vice-chair of the city’s traffic safety committee, said this isn’t the first crosswalk near a SkyTrain station that has been problematic. While she hadn’t heard concerns from residents about the Nelson crosswalk, she likened the situation to the crosswalk at Royal Oak and
Beresford Street, which had similar issues in the past. “It’s a special case where not just enlarging a sign would work – there’s more to it than that,” she said, noting the city addresses such issues on a case-by-case basis. “The city’s trying its best to upgrade our road system and traffic safety system, but in the meantime, we need lots of feedback and support from the citizens, and patience as well.” Kang said the best way for residents to highlight pedestrian safety concerns is to write to the
city clerk, who could then forward them to the traffic safety committee. She also urged all road users to be mindful of each other to prevent further accidents. “I think it’s everyone’s job to make sure that they’re safe, whether it’s to observe how the road is maintained or can be upgraded, or pedestrians making sure they’re not distracted,” she said. “It’s very important for cyclists to abide by the street rules because we’re seeing more cyclists and pedestrians and traffic because we are a growing city.”

NDP forces debate on missing aboriginal women Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
You could call it a surprise attack of parliamentary proportions. The federal NDP wrested control of the House of Commons on Friday, outnumbering the majority-holding Conservatives and forcing a debate on Canada’s 1,200 missing and m u r dered indigenous women. “It’s a debate that’s l o n g overd u e , and the Peter Julian C o n Burnaby MP servatives couldn’t stop us,” Julian told the NOW. “We had members of Parliament who were in town. We had 80 MPs. Because it’s such an old tired government, (the Conservatives) had barely 40 MPs in the House of Commons, and so we saw an opportunity.” As Opposition house leader, Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian orchestrated the move, which he described as a rare accomplishment. “In modern history, we have never seen a majority government lose control of the House the way the Conservative government did today,” he said. According to Julian, the Conservatives can’t stop the debate now that’s it’s been triggered, and the House follow us on
must vote on whether to accept the recommendations in the report on missing and murdered indig-
enous women. Julian said the Conservatives will reject those recommendations,
which is why they were trying to quash the debate in the first place. Many groups presenting
to the government’s special committee on violence against indigenous women called for a national inqui-
ry, but the Conservatives have rejected the idea. Follow Jennifer Moreau on Twitter, @JenniferMoreau

Will this stop Kinder Morgan or coal promoters or plans for fracking? Probably not. The next generation may well look back and shake their heads that here in Burnaby folks were debating pipeline routes at all.
Is B.C. facing a nurses’ dispute? IN THE HOUSE
W
Keith Baldrey
ill The Great Teachers War of 2014 be followed by The Great Nurses War of 2015? There is a distinct possibility that could indeed be the case, and if so, the B.C. government may find itself in a tougher fight with the B.C. Nurses’ Union than it faced with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. The BCNU’s contract expired at the end of March, and negotiations for a new one have barely begun. No specific issues have been addressed, as the two sides are discussing concepts more than anything else. But the nurses do indeed have some specific issues, not the least of which is working conditions. It is not unusual for some nurses to work 16-hour days, since the nursing shortage is so acute. The government had promised, in the last contract, to create about 2,100 new nursing positions. Only about a third of them have been created, leaving an enormous gap still to be filled (and most of the new positions went to one specific place – a
new tower at Surrey Memorial Hospital – which did not alleviate things elsewhere in the province). The union says health facilities have failed to honour a requirement set out in the last contract to call in additional nurses when patient demand requires it, instead of just making nurses work buckets of overtime. Here is the contract language: “in instances where patient demand exceeds the normal capacity of a facility or a unit within a facility, the employer will call in additional nurses as necessary to meet patient care needs.” The situation varies from region to region, of course. Some shortages are more acute in some places than in others (and the employer disputes the shortage is as bad as the union portrays). But there clearly aren’t enough specialty trained nurses in areas such as emergency rooms, cardiac units, ICUs, operating rooms and mental health. The BCNU’s 42,000 members are expecting a wage increase, and the government will likely insist – as it did with the BCTF – that any settlement follows the “pattern” among other public sector union settlements. But the government may have a harder time dealing with the BCNU’s demand that more nurses are urgently needed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teachers’ win helps education Dear Editor:
As the picket signs come down and kids are welcomed back to school, B.C. teachers can hold their heads very high. Money-wise, teachers’ gains are modest. They did get a few nice things, but not a lot, and after inflation, yes they even slipped a bit more. However, the big news is they stopped the erosion of public education, and they began the long rebuilding. A first step is the promised $400 million for class improvements. But this pales beside their big win: defeating clause E80. This clause, for those who don’t know, would have allowed the government to work around a BCTF win in the upcoming court
case. Now, assuming the appeal goes the teachers’ way (which I’m told is likely), all the 2001 agreements will be back in place! Granted, the government can still try to negotiate them away again, but they will be in a position of weakness. They can’t just sweep them all away with legislation as they tried before. They have to argue each clause on it’s merits. This scenario is what Christy Clark so desperately wanted to avoid, and despite her beaming expression, this is what she is now facing. So to sum up, the teachers have sacrificed monetary gain, but they may just have stopped the Liberals’ undermining of public education. Thank you, teachers, and many congratulations!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City’s priorities are askew Dear Editor:
Re: Judge rules against city in mountain battle, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 19. So, after all this expense of, what?, thousands, tens of thousands of dollars, for lawyers, etc., including the policing costs to escort demonstrators, the courts have told His Worship that it is none of his business. And still, there are no bleachers for baseball fans to sit on at the ball diamonds in Central Park, and drivers continue to ignore the huge stop sign at the Grange/ Kingsway merge point because … well, there are no police available to make them do so.
Keep up the so-so work, Corrigan! Larry Bennett, Burnaby
Protesters help terrorism
Dear Editor:
Do our anti-pipeline supporters realize, that, if successful, their actions assist global terrorism? The world is not going to stop using oil. Canada’s potential customers will simply keep buying it from their old suppliers in the Middle East. Islamic terrorists are for the most part financed by oil producing Arab states. ISIS, Hamas, Boko Haram and others all appreciate Mayor Corrigan’s and MP Kennedy Stewart’s support! Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby
Nurses: Government faces battle continued from page 6
The union will argue, understandably, that a lack of nurses poses a genuine threat to proper patient care. However, the nursing shortage – particularly when it comes to specialtytrained nurses – is not confined to B.C. It is a national problem, which means finding enough bodies to fill the positions may prove to be elusive. The nursing shortage provides the BCNU the kind of leverage the BCTF lacked at the table. As well, the prospect of a nurses’ picket line around a health facility is a more worrying prospect for any government compared to a picket line around a school. While that health facility would remain open, staffing would be at essential service levels, which are likely to be substantially lower than normal. Patient care – and patient access – would therefore deteriorate.
Public sympathy for nurses will likely outweigh that directed toward teachers (a series of polls during the teachers dispute showed half the populace did not back the BCTF), making it harder for the government to deal with them. The government was steadfast in its determination not to impose a contract on teachers. However, it may find itself having to do just that in a dispute with B.C.’s nurses, if The Great Nurses War of 2015 does indeed break out. ! Readers of this column will know I’ve been fairly critical of the BCTF leadership over the years, particularly over its inability to negotiate contracts for its members. But kudos have to be extended to BCTF president Jim Iker, who presided over a tough slog of negotiations and emerged with an actual deal.
Iker didn’t get anywhere near what the BCTF was looking for going into negotiations, but he got the deal that was available, and he avoided keeping his membership on the picket line, losing pay cheques for another two or three weeks. The six-year deal is a historic breakthrough, and it will be interesting to see if the BCTF local union presidents and local school superintendents can jointly administer the new education fund for hiring specialist teachers. If they can, that bodes well for improving the often dysfunctional relationship between the union and its employer. If they can’t, the next contract round may be just as problematic as the one just finished (although I’ll be surprised if BCTF members ever for vote for an open-ended strike mandate again). Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Union takes aim at pipeline bidding process Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
The union for Chevron’s refinery workers is criticizing the bidding system Kinder Morgan uses for its Trans Mountain pipeline, claiming large American companies are putting the squeeze on Canadian jobs. Kinder Morgan charges oil companies a fee to transport their products through the pipeline, and each month the companies (that don’t have long-term contracts) bid on how much volume they can run through. The problem is the line can only handle so
much oil, and companies always want more than the maximum capacity. Kinder Morgan divides up the allotted shipping volumes, but Chevron has had problems securing enough supply for the local refinery. “Yet again, Canada’s natural resources are being taken advantage of by foreign firms, and the government is doing nothing to stop it,” said Unifor’s Western director Joie Warnock in a media release. The union has submitted evidence to the National Energy Board, demonstrating that larger American refineries are overbid-
ding and squeezing out smaller refineries, some of which need to buy oil back at inflated prices. According to the union, 75 per cent of the oil that comes through the Trans Mountain pipeline goes to foreign markets. “If the government doesn’t step in, the Kinder Morgan pipeline will become a pure export pipe,” said Russ Day, spokesperson for the local that represents the refinery workers. “Our natural resources should create long-term Canadian jobs and meet Canadians’ energy needs.” Warnock told the NOW that if Chevron were to close, Lower
Mainland residents would likely pay more at the pump. “It would mean the gas products from the Lower Mainland would have to be imported, and so it increases the gas prices that way,” she said. “We’re concerned about Canadian consumers, and of course the good Canadian jobs that are involved.” Thirty to 40 per cent of petroleum products in the Lower Mainland come from Burnaby’s Chevron refinery. Chevron started bringing oil into the Burnaby refinery via truck and rail to bolster its supply. The Trans Mountain pipeline
expansion won’t necessarily solve the refinery’s supply problem either, as most of the oil is destined for foreign markets. Kinder Morgan sent the NOW a statement, pointing out that Chevron bids on volumes as part of the “spot market” and did not sign up for a long-term contract. “We value Chevron as a customer and are confident they will be able to access the capacity they need in the future through the spot market. There was a fair opportunity for anyone who wanted to make a long-term commitment and get a guaranteed supply to do so,” the company stated.
Fall: Resident care was appropriate, says Fraser Health continued from page 1
investigation concluded that their allegations were unsubstantiated and minimum care standards as per the Residential Care Regulation had been met. Under “additional findings,” however, the report states minimum care standards were not met for parts of the regulation dealing with fall prevention. “There is no evidence in the documentation that there was a falls prevention care plan despite the resident having been identified as a risk for falls,” states the report, obtained by Watson and her brother through a Freedom of Information request. Minimum care standards under the Residential Care Regulation require patients in long-term care to have: an assessment of their fall risk, a plan to prevent that person from falling and a plan for following up on any falls suffered by a person in care. Fellburn did not have an assessment or prevention plan on the books for Wilson, according to the investigation, nor was there evidence in her file that the centre fol-
lowed up on her earlier fall by monitoring of bed. But Fraser Health told the NOW the care her vital signs or checking her neurovital signs, as per Fraser Health guidelines for Wilson received on the night of her fatal fall was appropriate, and the shortcomfalls management. There are a lot of things the care centre ings documented in the investigation report could have done to prevent their mother’s were essentially a matter of paperwork. “The death of someone in our care is fatal fall, according to Watson and her something we take very brother – starting with her washroom access. “For her life to end as seriously,” said Cathy Sleiman, director of resiNinety-seven-year-old violently as it did, is dential care and assisted Wilson, who used a walker, not right.” living at Fraser Health. shared one room separated “There was an investigation by curtains with three other PATTI WATSON into this tragedy, and we women who all had to leave daughter found the care our resident their room and cross a hallreceived following the fall way if they needed to use was appropriate; however, the staff did not the washroom.

gested by Watson and her brother, including reassessing all clients who are mobile enough to make it to the washroom during the day to see if any need more help making it safely to the washroom at night. That the care centre had acted on any of their recommendations was news to Watson and her brother, who said they hadn’t heard from the facility after meeting with health officials in July and who had to wait almost two months to see the investigation report after making a Freedom of Information request. The pair said they decided to speak publicly about their concerns to prevent anyone else from suffering the same fate as their mother – a woman they say was so tenderhearted that she used her flyswatter to shoo flies out the door instead of killing them. “For her life to end as violently as it did, is not right,” Watson said. “We don’t want any other elderly woman to spend the last 24 hours-plus of her life suffering because something wasn’t done that should have been done.”
There simply has never been a better time to invest in your hearing.

Terrorism cops visit senior Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
A New Westminster senior wants her name scrubbed from a database tracking national security threats following an incident close to the Burnaby Mountain tank farm. Lesslie Askin, a 71year-old grandmother and retired systems analyst, was taking pictures on Aug. 3 of oil storage tanks at a Shell facility just across the street from Kinder Morgan’s tank farm. Askin sparked the
interest of Kinder Morgan security staff, who arrived on the scene as she was leaving. “They were looking at me, and I actually smiled and waved, because I’m actually quite a friendly person,” Askin told the NOW. “I didn’t want to go over because I couldn’t be sure who they were.” Ten days later, police were knocking on her door in New Westminster, asking questions. Askin said security must have written down her licence plate
number, because police said that’s what they used to find her. Askin explained she was just taking pictures to send in with her letter of comment to the National Energy Board for the Kinder Morgan expansion hearing. Afterwards, Askin looked up the name of one of the officers online and discovered he worked with the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, which includes CSIS, the Canadian Border Services Agency and the RCMP. The team’s primary goal is

longtime non-profit musical society needs more help – or it may not be able to continue operating. The Clef Society of Burnaby is looking for new volunteers to come forward to help keep the society running – and it needs to find those volunteers before its annual general meeting on Sunday, Sept. 28. The society – which was incorporated on Feb. 8, 1949 – was formed to advance music in Burnaby by fostering an appreciation of music, promoting musical instruction and encouraging outstanding musical talent, especially in young musicians. It holds a regular monthly recital series at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts and also hosts an annual scholarship musical festival and concerto competition that attracts some of the best young musical talent in the region. Needless to say, those efforts have involved a lot of help from a lot of people. “Over the 65 years since its formation, the society has depended on hundreds of willing volunteers in servicing their committees and in management of their various productions,” the group says in a press release, noting there have been highs and lows over that time in terms of support and successes. The release notes that recently, non-profit groups have faced more financial constraints as public funding dries up, but the Clef Society has continued to succeed thanks to the efforts of its dedicated volunteers. But it notes that the pool of volunteers has been shrinking.
File photo/burnaby now
Promoting young talent: Aydan Con performs at a Clef Society recital in 2011. The society, which has been helping to support and promote young musicians since 1949, is at risk of shutting down if it can’t find more members to help out. “Current Clef Society board members have all served in their function for several years, with some serving the society for a quarter-century,” it notes. “It is time for a change, for new personnel to come forward to continue pursuit of the goals of the Clef Society.” Current committee members are not seeking re-election at the AGM on Sunday – which means there won’t be any way for the society to keep running if new people don’t step up to the plate. “If there are no new members
prepared to step forward … the current committee will have no option but to discontinue operation of the Clef as a Society,” the release says. The AGM is set for Sunday, Sept. 28 starting at 1 p.m. in Room 103 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, followed by the group’s first recital of the season. “Surely, it will be a shame if the Clef Society’s support of youth in their musical endeavours were to collapse after 65 years of successful operation since inception,” the release says.
So, what do you say, Burnaby? Can you step into the breach and help save this longestablished group? Do you know someone who might have the time and skills to help them out? Drop in to the meeting to jump on board – or, for more about the group, check out its website at www.clefsociety.org.

URBAN ACADEMY
Engaging Education Key to Academic Success A growing body of educational research indicates students in Kindergarten are far more creative than students in Grade 12 – even going so far as calling Kindergarteners ‘creative geniuses’. Any parent trying to navigate through the imaginary play of their five year old can likely attest to that!
Sir Ken Robinson, an international expert on education, addresses the conundrum of ‘teaching out’ creativity in one of his TED Talks titled ‘ Do Schools Kill Creativity’? The unfortunate data seems to indicate that yes, this is in fact what may be taking place in many schools today. In response, arts-infused learning, an approach to education that allows students to tap into their creativity to better connect with their subject matter, is gaining momentum across Canada. Urban Academy, a Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 private school in New Westminster is a leader in this approach to education. “Arts-Infusion means that we teach using the arts – drama, music and fine arts – as tools through with students can connect to the core curriculum,” explains Mrs. Cheryle Beaumont, Urban Academy’s Head of School.
A Queen’s University Study ‘Learning Through The Arts’ concluded that involvement in the arts contributed to student achievement as much as 11 percentile points higher in math than their peers, as arts experience helps develop more complex neural networks in the brain. Beyond simply the academic achievement, a creative learning environment can impact the way students think and problem solve and it also increases self-confidence, all skills that will serve them well as they continue through post-secondary education and into their careers. With the world changing at such a rapid pace, it is the responsibility of the school not only to teach the required curriculum, but to equip students with the ability to think creatively, and approach challenges with the critical skills that will allow them to thrive in the future. Urban Academy is rising to this challenge by educating students with interdisciplinary linkages. Math and Art are taught through projects such as Pythagorean spirals, Social Studies and Media Arts are combined resulting in historical screenplays, and French is taught using the performing arts to
enhance conversation skills. The result is an engaging education that truly resonates with students. Parents are finding their way to Urban Academy, excited about what the future holds for their children. “With the growth the school has been experiencing over the last several years, we are now building a new, state-of-the-art facility to accommodate the expanding student population” says Mrs. Beaumont. “The community is embracing what Urban Academy has to offer their children, and it is wonderful to be a part of that growth and development.” More information on the school can be found at www.urabanacademy.ca.

Christian education reaches for the head, heart and hands: we are educating the whole child.
Enabling Capacity, Character and Care What is Christian education? Books on our teachers’ shelves have informative titles: Educating Toward Wisdom, Good Teaching Comes From the Inside, Educating with Heart and Mind. Christian education is not church with the three R’s tacked on, nor is it school with a bible class slipped in occasionally. Christian education reaches for the head, heart, and hands: we are educating the whole child. At Carver Christian High School, our goal is to foster life-long learners, men and women of godly character for a life of transformation and service to others and God. Our certified professional teachers take that challenge seriously and are themselves lifelong learners. Those educators facilitate learning that produces strong positive results on provincial exams, enables university enrollments and, through BC Ministry school evaluations, confirms Carver as a school with a strong academic culture.
A partnership of two elementary schools, Vancouver and John Knox Christian schools, Carver has begun its tenth school year and celebrates the many successful graduates going on towards a wide range of professional vocations: medicine, engineering, law, education, business and the Arts. Many of those graduates began their post-secondary journey with healthy scholarships.
At Carver, BC Education courses are taught with a distinctive Christian perspective, challenging teenage students to discover their unique talents while developing solid skills and literacies for life.
Carver’s smaller classes, meaningful parent involvement and strong communication systems together form a deep sense of authentic community. There are ample opportunities for student leadership as well as excellent academic development with the Honors Wings and AP (advance placement) programs. With smaller student body and class sizes, students from diverse backgrounds are able to thrive and develop intellectually, socially and personally. The high school years are transformative. Boys and girls enter grade 8 as children and graduate as young adults; Christian education is an investment well worth considering. Paul Tigchelaar, B.Sc., B. Ed, M.Ed.

Driving all of this is a vision of learning as engaging, active, responsive and personalized so that each student can work towards meeting their potential and stretch beyond.
What makes a one-of-a-kind school?
One answer to this question is to look at Choice School for the Gifted, an independent school located in Richmond, BC. Established in 1985, this school has provided and continues to provide a learning environment specifically tailored for elementary gifted learners. The program offered at Choice is unique. While meeting the requirements of delivering the BC Ministry of Education curriculum, it also draws on a large body of research and best practices for the provision of appropriate learning for students who have identified gifts and talents. British Columbia, as with many educational jurisdictions, recognizes gifted learners as having special needs that require provision of learning opportunities and a flexible environment tailored to students who learn at a faster pace, who possess extensive background knowledge, and who are innovators and creators, problem solvers and critical thinkers. To do so, class sizes are limited, staff are experienced in working with these students and the curriculum is designed to provide for the opportunities to explore and express the interests that drive their students.
A day spent at Choice might find grade 2 and 3 students learning chemistry or how to count in Greek because their curiosity has taken them there. In every corner books abound, intense discussions are underway, investigations are undertaken as questions about current events, how something is made or change of seasons ignite interest and exploration. As part of the regular weekly schedule, students undertake challenges in areas of interest not normally available in schools such as calligraphy, robotics, rocketry, needlework or cooking, creating instruments or distinctive and complex works of art – all driven by their interests and all circling back into the learning outcomes of science, social studies, language arts, music, art, and mathematics.
Driving all of this is a vision of learning as engaging, active, responsive and personalized so that each learner can work towards meeting their potential and stretch beyond. It is a one-of-a-kind place and we are open to having you come and see us in action!

” “ Help your children make new friends In addition to a new curriculum, new teachers and about This is Brockton! A school where students are inspired to inquire new schedules, kids also might make new the world around them and encouraged to achieve theirfriends true potental as once a school year begins. active learners and global citizens. -Mrs. Alison Wall
Students learn lessons each day. While many of these lessons pertain to their coursework, kids pick up much more than book smarts from school, where kids first learn to cultivate friendships and build relationships. In addition to a new curriculum, new teachers and new schedules, kids also might make new friends once a school year begins. While some familiar faces carry through from grade to grade, chances are youngsters will meet new students who will soon become good friends. While many kids find it easy to make new friends, others might need some assistance to make the most of opportunities to socialize and form friendships. Offer opportunities for socialization - Children should be given the opportunity to explore friendships outside of the classroom where peer pressure might not be so prevalent. Establish a carpool or invite a classmate over for a play date - Unstructured time to play or get to know each other is a great way to establish friendships. Invite new children over to see which friendships are the strongest, but make sure you are not pushing a friendship on your child.
Discover common interests - One of the quickest ways to build friendships is through common interests, says Kirk Martin, a behavioural therapist and author. Encourage your child to join a club or sports group where he or she can meet other kids with similar interests. Sometimes finding reasons to talk other children is the most difficult step to making new friends. Sharing a common interest removes this barrier. Teach proper manners - Children who are polite, well-mannered and know how to follow direction are better equipped to attract friends. Children who misbehave may be shunned by other kids and their parents who do not want the hassle of an unruly youngster coming over to play. Respectful children who are honest, trustworthy and capable of sustaining eye contact and making small talk may find it easy to make friends.
reinforce the value of friendship to your children. Boost confidence levels - As a parent you can talk to your children about their strengths and positive attributes. Emphasizing kids’ best traits will increase their self esteem, and that sense of self-worth can make it easier for them to make friends. A child who is shy and insecure may retreat when meeting new people, but a child who can proudly stand behind his or her accomplishments may attract friends easily. - Tri-Cities NOW
Take the friendship lead - As parents, you can improve your child’s chances of making friends by getting friendly with their classmates’ parents. You do not have to become bosom buddies with everyone, but making connections with fellow parents can

Thaddeus and Quinntin, at home after six months in Royal Columbian Hospital’s Variety neonatal intensive care unit.
Smaller than a pound of butter... at home with surrey’s miracle micro-preemies, a year after their birth at royal columbian This year has been hectic for Surrey’s Christine Ashton, but she would not want it any other way. The Surrey mother of twins Thaddeus and Quinntin has embraced family life since arriving home with her boys this past spring. It was just before Easter that she left Royal Columbian Hospital’s Variety neonatal intensive care unit for the first time with her babies, who had received care for six months as some of the tiniest premature babies ever seen by the neonatal team. “Since then, it’s been so busy with medical appointments,” says Ashton. “But the cuties are doing well and are getting bigger and wider.”
Ashton was only 23 weeks pregnant when she was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital with contractions last October. Thaddeus was born first, weighing only 405 grams, or as Ashton puts it, “less than a pound of butter.” Quinntin was born two minutes later, at 570 grams. As one of four hospitals across the province prepared to handle the most fragile newborns, Royal Columbian Hospital cares for hundreds of tiny ones each year. But twins as premature as Thaddeus and Quinntin are rare. “I was in shock,” says Ashton. “Especially not knowing if they were going to survive, and knowing their chance of survival wasn’t very high. I just wanted to give them a chance.” “Here we had a situation where we had micropreemies at less than 24 weeks, and on top of it, twins,”
notes neonatologist Dr. Zenon Cieslak. “The outcomes are not generally good.” In the neonatal intensive care unit, Thaddeus and Quinntin were supported by specialized equipment like Giraffe Omnibed incubators and a jet ventilator, which » continued page 2

His arrival to Royal Columbian comes at a time when the hospital prepares to undergo one of the largest redevelopments in Canada. I cannot thank you enough for the ongoing support. With your help, we continue to be there for those who rely on Royal Columbian in their time of need, like Christine and her precious boys. Yours sincerely,

New Foundation President & CEO introducing jeff norris He’s worn many hats over the years, but it was during a time when Jeff Norris was wearing a bicycle helmet that he discovered a passion for philanthropy. Staff photo. While at university, he was hired to co-ordinate a cycling fundraising event. The experience opened his eyes to the world of non-profits.
Jeff has made a positive impression on a number of organizations since then. This includes seven years with St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, where he helped grow its Lights of Hope campaign. He comes to Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation from Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), where he worked since 2006 as Chief Advancement Officer and also served as CEO of the KPU Foundation and executive director of the KPU Alumni Association, a group he was involved in founding. In 2012, Jeff was awarded a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Club of Ladner for his community work. In 2014, he was recognized by Business in Vancouver with a “Forty Under 40” Award for his business accomplishment. Married with two daughters, Jeff is also active in his community and regularly contributes as a volunteer and board member of various associations. ■

Smaller than a pound of butter... donors like Variety – the Children’s Charity of BC and the TB Vets Charitable Foundation have helped to fund. Despite a number of challenges, Ashton noticed gradual improvements in her boys’ conditions. And after 188 days, she was finally able to bring them home. Ashton can’t believe the twins will soon be celebrating their first birthdays. She says they enjoy going out for walks with her around the neighbourhood and are fascinated by other children playing. And despite the constant attention infants like Thaddeus and Quinntin require, Ashton loves every minute of it. ■

The meaning of moments coquitlam woman is thankful for the care given to her father

The way to a beating heart royal columbian hospital performs milestone 100th ever minimally-invasive heart valve replacement For Roy Fawcett of Chilliwack, a summer camping adventure with the grandchildren was just as much about creating memories as it was about enjoying the outdoors. And he’s thankful he had the energy to do it. It was a different story just a couple of years ago. Back then, Fawcett could hardly move from one room to the other in his house without having to take a break. Fawcett suffered from aortic stenosis, a common condition that occurs when the heart’s aortic valve leaflets get calcified and become immobile. It was leaving him very short of breath. Fawcett says Royal Columbian gave him his life back. That’s because the hospital is one of three in the province able to perform a minimally-invasive procedure called a transcatheter aortic valve implantation
– or TAVI for short. Royal Columbian is also the designated centre for open-heart surgery and minimally invasive cardiac procedures in Fraser Health. This past summer, Royal Columbian conducted its 100th ever TAVI, which is the option for patients whose health or medical history make them at highrisk or unsuitable for open heart surgery. Without TAVI, those patients could suffer heart failure and sudden death. TAVI replaces the aortic valve in a beating heart by carefully threading a catheter (a thin flexible tube) that contains the new valve, usually from the groin artery to the heart. Fawcett says the change in his health was almost instantaneous. Since undergoing TAVI last year, Fawcett is able to garden with his wife again. And he has the energy to spend quality time with his grandchildren again. “The team at Royal Columbian Hospital has given me back a quality of life that I thought was lost forever,” says Fawcett. “My family and I are thankful beyond words”. ■
A health crisis is difficult for any family. In these moments, a grieving daughter has discovered the small gestures can be as significant as the expert care. For Coquitlam’s Juliana Kim, it started when her father Mike had a stroke in early 2012. Juliana Kim thanks the hospital for its He was rushed to support. Foundation photo. Royal Columbian Hospital, where he spent a week before he was able to return home. The family would find itself back in the hospital a year later, when Mr. Kim was again admitted, this time for persistent coughing. It would be diagnosed as stage 4 lung cancer. Over the next several months, Mr. Kim would be admitted to RCH two more times. He passed away in late September, 2013. After struggling with the uncertainty over her father’s health last year, Juliana now recognizes and appreciates the care at Royal Columbian. She remembers a doctor’s words of encouragement during an especially challenging time trying to juggle school and helping care for her father. Juliana says the physician’s advice helped her focus heading into graduation. She also credits a conversation with a nurse for giving her father the strength to carry on during treatment. These are among the personal exchanges that make Juliana grateful for the efforts of the health care professionals who looked after her dad. ■

→ Sometimes, seizures in premature newborns are so subtle, they can only be confirmed through use of a neonatal brain monitor. That’s one reason this equipment is important for the care of our smallest and most fragile patients. Because premature babies are not yet fully developed, they face a number of possible complications and require specialized care from skilled medical professionals in the neonatal intensive care unit. The risks include damage to the brain from lack of oxygen or bleeding. In both cases, early diagnosis is critical to minimize long-term effects.

Electrical activity
Combatting cancer
← Chest pain. Nausea. Dizziness. Thousands of patients come to Royal Columbian Hospital each year with these symptoms, fearing the worst. Each receives an electrocardiogram (ECG) test to measure the electrical activity of the heart. This fast, safe, non-invasive test provides a wealth of information in a variety of circumstances—it can determine the rate and regularity of heart beats, the size and position of heart chambers, and confirm or rule out a heart attack. And all in about five minutes. As ECG machines are one of the most frequently used pieces of equipment at the hospital, new ones are much appreciated. Donations from RBC Foundation and a number of other gifts helped us purchase two this past year. ■
← Colon cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in Canada. Our donors have helped the hospital combat the disease by funding a colonoscope for Ambulatory Care. With a high definition colonoscope, our physicians can detect polyps in the colon before they become cancerous and remove them right then and there, thereby eliminating the risk of colon cancer. Kingston Construction made a donation towards this equipment to honour the memory of its founder Ben Backman, who passed away in 2009 after a long battle with colon cancer. Royal Columbian Hospital is the major referral centre for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders in the Fraser Health region. Our physicians perform over 3,300 colonoscopies each year. ■

An original Canuck on love and healing at Royal Columbian vancouver canuck alumni make royal columbian a charitable recipient of annual golf classic Back in 1970, Eddie Hatoum had to cancel a date with his girlfriend when he separated his shoulder and underwent surgery at Royal Columbian Hospital. That’s okay though. They’re married now. At the time, Hatoum was preparing for the Vancouver Canucks’ inaugural 1970/71 season, after the team claimed him in the NHL Expansion Draft. Unfortunately, the smooth-skating forward suffered a bad injury during training camp. He fell while trying to get by the two defencemen and knew right away he was in trouble. “I was about to hit the ice with my head,” recalls Hatoum. “So I turned and landed probably about 190 pounds on my shoulder, and that’s when it separated.” One of the team’s trainers put him in a van, and off they drove to Royal Columbian Hospital. After a bumpy and painful ride from the arena to the hospital,
Former Vancouver Canuck Eddie Hatoum and fellow alumnus & Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation board member John Ashbridge.
a doctor quickly realized Hatoum would need to go to the operating room. Hatoum was out of action for several weeks before finally rejoining his teammates and playing in 26 games for the Canucks that first season. Today, Hatoum is a member of the Canuck Alumni and plays a number of benefit hockey games and golf tournaments across the province. Hatoum reflected on his experience at Royal Columbian Hospital during this past spring’s annual Canuck Alumni Golf Classic. Royal Columbian Hospital
Foundation is a charitable recipient of the event, which saw members of the 1970 team reunite for the day with other former players. Along with being grateful for the care he received at Royal Columbian, Hatoum fondly remembers the daily hospital visits from then-girlfriend Frances, with whom he had apologetically cancelled a planned date. “She came out to Royal Columbian every day from Vancouver, and the rest is history,” says Hatoum, who married her after the two reconnected decades later. ■

A mother’s grief Yes, I believe my care is critical. Here is my gift of: $200 $100 $50 Other $ (please specify) Enclosed is my cheque made payable to: Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation Or charge my credit card: VISA MasterCard Card # Expiry Date Signature Marilyn Dowsett credits Royal Columbian Hospital for helping her after her son’s death.
seeking mental health care at royal columbian Gregory Dowsett wasn’t supposed to live as long as he did. Right from the start, he faced some complicated health problems, including being born with only three heart chambers instead of four. Greg underwent a few surgeries and suffered a stroke shortly after turning one year old. But mom Marilyn says her son lived life to the fullest and travelled extensively to places like South Africa, Australia, and England, where he enjoyed spending time with relatives. In late September, 2003, Greg was rushed to hospital after falling ill. He was kept in an induced coma until he passed away several days later, at the age of 25. His death devastated Marilyn. “He was the first thing, the last thing, most of the things I ever thought of,” says the Port Coquitlam woman about her son. “I never thought about doing anything without first thinking of Greg.” The grief was overwhelming, and Marilyn describes
having regular panic attacks. “We went to a barbecue once, and I actually stood in the middle of this backyard and screamed at the top of my voice,” she recalls. Marilyn was referred to Royal Columbian Hospital psychiatrist Dr. Anson Koo, who eventually admitted her. “I was terrified,” says Marilyn. “But my husband took me and knew it was the best thing, because I wasn’t doing very well. I wasn’t coping at all.” Marilyn spent five weeks at Royal Columbian Hospital, followed by 13-weeks in an outpatient program. “I met the most caring, the most compassionate people you could ever meet in your entire life,” recalls Marilyn. “I was also amazed at who else was in the hospital with me. How many young people, how many ordinary people, people that didn’t seem different. They were just struggling with life.” Over time, Marilyn learned coping techniques that she says have helped her enormously. She continues to see Dr. Koo during follow-up visits. “My life has changed completely since Gregory died,” she says. “I am 100% a different person. I just feel so fortunate that I was where I was at the right time in order to be able to get this long-term support.” ■

The pros and cons of group fitness classes KEEPING FIT
T
Shaun Karp
hroughout the short history of the physical fitness industry as we know it – which, in fairness, only really took off for the average citizen during the late 20th century – there has been an ongoing debate over the relative merits of exercising alone or as part of a group or class. Fairly recent, but enduringly popular group fitness innovations, including weight-loss boot camps, Zumba and CrossFit, have brought this debate into even sharper focus. But while group classes are certainly increasingly popular, there are still some good reasons to consider flying solo. First, it is important to acknowledge the benefits of the group approach. For
particularly harmful if you have a specific injury that requires any level of physical rehabilitation. Also, a group class usually means there will be only one or at most a small handful of instructors available to monitor technique, which could increase the likelihood of injury. This is especially true if the movements required by the class are foreign to you, particularly challenging, or are being engaged in competitively with other group members. Finally, the benefits of group fitness training could plateau over time if each individual class is similar enough to the others to enable your body to adapt to performing the required movements with decreased effort over time.

one thing, especially for those interested in socializing and making friends, group fitness classes can be incredibly motivating. This is an important consideration since consistency is arguably the most important aspect of any fitness program, even more so than perfect technique or sufficient intensity. Basically, you cannot meet any fitness goals that you are not regularly working toward. So it is worth continuing with whatever approach successfully gets you into the gym on multiple days per week. Group classes are also a great, cost-effective way to learn new exercises in a low-stress and at least moderately supervised environment. On the other hand, the fun and excitement of group classes may conceal some significant drawbacks.

Free Active Aging Week activities on B
urnaby’s Active Aging Week is kicking off with a bang at Bonsor Recreation Complex. Bonsor – along with Confederation, Edmonds and Cameron community centres – is hosting free activities for anyone 50 years or older this week, and the events are proving popular. It’s all part of Active Aging Week, an annual worldwide push to encourage seniors to exercise. “Everything has been very well-received. All of the activities we’ve put on, people are curious (about),” said Bonsor’s Cassie Gibeau, the program co-ordinator for seniors’ services. Some of the activities offered are already happening, but the centre is trying out some new activi-
ties as well. As an added bonus, Bonsor is also hosting an open house from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday night. Guitarist Sandro Camerin will perform, and folks 50 and older can learn about the various programs on offer at Bonsor. Refreshments will also be available. The open house will be held in the Bonsor Centre for 55+ at 6533 Nelson Ave. Many of Bonsor’s Active Aging Week events are already full, but there are a couple that still have spaces and there are dropin activities. (Call 604-2974580 for more details.) Each community centre should have the week’s events posted on site, and staff will have details on

Porsche first focused on the proportions of the Macan, to ensure it retains Porsche branding while providing the muscular, agile look. As a result, it is low and wide and has an aggressive stance that is perhaps the best combination of Porsche sleekness and SUV toughness. They also made sure that the Macan carried over familiar design elements from its other products, such as the sloping roofline of the 911. The tail of the Macan is especially interesting; the tail lamps

Macan: The highest performing premium small SUV you can buy continued from page 35
This enables it to accelerate to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds, or 5.2 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono package. The Macan Turbo is the most powerful compact SUV on the market. It is also the first Porsche vehicle to use a 3.6-litre twin turbo V6. This produces 400 hp and rockets to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds, or 4.6 seconds in Sport Chrono trim. The standard sevenspeed PDK transmission is excellent. Whether it’s in auto mode, or you’re changing gears using the steering wheel mounted paddles, shifts are quick and smooth. Regardless of the road condition, the steering is sharp, precise and it has just the right amount of road feel – something other automakers have not been able to replicate when the foundation utilizes electric-powered steering feel. This means the Macan is genuinely fun to drive and toss around. In fact, the Macan delivers a surprising level of performance well beyond what I’ve experienced with say, the Audi SQ5 or BMW X3 (we will see how it fares against the X4). The Macan is terrific on highway as well, with a smooth, highly refined ride that masks its true potential. The Macan is easily manoeuvrable around the city, thanks to its tight turning radius, allowing you to traverse around
busy traffic and small parking spaces. The optional air suspension system allows the Macan to be comfortable and adaptable at the same time. In comfort mode, the Macan handles bumps nicely, but at the push of a button, the suspension stiffens and it becomes sporty again. This also gives you the ability to raise and lower the ride height.
Environment
There’s no denying the cabin of the Macan is a pure Porsche. It carries on the interior concept started on the Panamera. The cabin is beautiful, materials are robust, fit and finish is exemplary, and even though modern Porsches use a bewildering number of buttons on the console, everything is within easy reach while driving. And while the Macan feels like a sports car on the move, you get many useful features not found in a typical sports car – for example, a usable rear seat. Unlike some other compact SUVs, the Macan’s rear wheel arches are not too intrusive, allowing for easier entry and exit. Once inside, rear passengers have plenty of legroom and headroom is adequate. However, models with the panoramic sunroof will have a little less rear headroom, making it tight for people over six-feet tall. Even though it shares a platform with the Audi

No chance: St. Thomas More Knights running back Luca Bellini (23) carries the ball in the Sept. 19 homecoming game at Burnaby Lake against Coquitlam’s Centennial. The Knights won 42-0.
Knights play with passion at home Jennifer Thuncher contributor
What a difference a week makes. The St. Thomas More Collegiate Knights regrouped after a chaotic second half against archrival Vancouver College that ended in a Fighting Irish 50-32 win Sept. 14. The No. 4-ranked Knights finished its homecoming game 42-0 against Coquitlam’s Centennial Friday night (Sept. 19), at Burnaby Lake. From kick-off it was clear the Knights had the energy and passion lacking at the end of the last game. “The kids responded with a great energy from the get-go,” head coach
Bernie Kully wrote in an email. “We looked like a much more complete team.” Notable play by STM seniors came from running back Shane Noel, who carried for 135 yards and had two rushing touchdowns. Fellow Grade 12 Matt Duda had two touchdowns, one rush and one receiving. Andrew Flett had one receiving touchdown. J.J. DesLauriers had 77 yards receiving and one touchdown. Grade 11 Terrell Jana had 47 yards rushing and threw for 121 yards. Defensively, the six-foot-three Grade 11, Ben Steele stood out again this game with six tackles and two sacks. Senior Spencer Moore had
seven tackles and one sack. Six-footfour senior Kieran Janes had five tackles and one sack. “It was a very complete effort, and I was pleased with all three phases of football,” said Kully. Next game is Friday Sept. 26 against Kelowna’s Rutland Senior Secondary. Kick-off is at 3:30 p.m. at Burnaby Lake. In other AAA news, the New Westminster Hyacks won the homecoming against the West Vancouver Highlanders 54 to 8 at Mercer Stadium. The Hyacks next take on Notre Dame in conference play at Burnaby Lake, Friday Sept. 26. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m.
New basketball training program for kids set to start For kids in grades 5 to 11 who love being on the hardwood, there is a new skills training program in town. Split Second Basketball is just what the name suggests — a basketball training course that aims to shave those split seconds off moves on the court. The course, which will be held at the Fortis Sport and Health Centre in Burnaby, has been offered at a private club for the last five years, but this is the first time it is open to the public. Eric Butler, program founder, said kids don’t need to be the best players on their school teams to join the program, they just need to love the game. “We really just need to have interested
players. Players who really want to learn and push themselves and have an open mind and who can say ‘You know, I don’t know everything, I could learn something,’” he said. An example of the types of skills the players will learn is how to save precious time shooting a basket. “You catch a pass that is sent to you and get into your shooting motion and shoot the shot. Most people don’t realize the difference between successfully doing that and being rushed or blocked comes down to one or two tenths of a second and by adjusting kids technique a little bit … we get them into a habit and allow them to get their shot off (faster),” Butler said.
That said, Butler stressed this isn’t a babysitting service. Boys and girls who sign up should be passionate about the game and serious about improving. Butler has a long history on the court. He played ball with the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds and then went on the professional basketball circuit in Europe. Joey Vickery, a 10-year veteran of the Canadian national basketball team, will also be a coach. Vickery recently retired after 19 years of pro play. “He is really the best guy in the world I can imagine for teaching. He has a resume like very few in Canada,” said Butler, adding Vickery can relate well to the kids and
the kids can see they don’t have to be the tallest guy to make an impression on the court. “The fact that he is five-foot-nine inches tall is really just a freak of nature,” Butler said, with a chuckle. All the coaches involved in the program play or have played basketball at least at the university level. Most have played professionally overseas. The Split Second Basketball course will take place on Sundays from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., begins Sept. 28 and runs until Dec. 14. Cost is $250.

On the run: SFU’s defenceman Joel Malouf with Western Washington’s Ty Hastings in hot pursuit. The two teams finished with a 1-1 draw Sept. 20.
SFU fights to a draw
Jennifer Thuncher contributor
The Simon Fraser University men’s soccer team earned a 1-1 draw against Western Washington University on Washington’s Harrington Field, Saturday night (Sept. 20). Captain Jovan Blagojevic scored the only goal for the Clan in the 75th minute of play. Though SFU got nine shots on goal in the first half, the game was scoreless at the end of the first. Washington got its only goal in the second from freshman Luke Olney who fired a deflected ball past Clan goal keeper Brandon Watson, to make it 1-0.
It was two minutes later when Blagojevic found the back of the net for the fifth time this season. The score remained 1-1, even after two periods of overtime play. “I am very happy with the character shown by our guys tonight,” Clan head coach Alan Koch said in a press release. “The guys all have a taste of what it is like to play in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) now, and we will learn from this experience and be better in our next match.” The draw moves SFU to 2-1-1 on the season and 0-0-1 in the GNAC. Next Clan game is at home on Terry Fox Field Thursday, Sept. 25 against Montana State University Billings. Kick off is at 7:30 p.m..

All properties are sold as is. All bidders must pre-register to be eligible to bid at the auction. Registration will start at 9:00 A.M. and bidders must have photo ID, Social Insurance Number and must have available certified funds at the time of registration. The minimum bid is the upset price, that is, the current taxes and penalties, arrears and delinquent taxes and interest, 5% tax sale costs and Land Title Office transfer fees. Upon completion of each sale, the successful bidder must make payment immediately before the auction continues to the next property. Acceptable forms of payment are: cash, certified cheque, and bank draft. Debit and credit cards are not accepted.

OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK • DELIVERY AVAILABLE
Chef Zou and Jenny, Branch Manager
Mouthwatering, delicious Japanese food starts with using the freshest local ingredients available. At Osaka Sushi, chef/owner Liang Jiang Zou does just that! The executive chef, along with his talented team, is creating some of the best Japanese sushi in the city. Combine that with great ambience and friendly service at reasonable prices and you have a winning recipe. After successfully running two locations for more than 12 years, Zou opened Burnaby’s Osaka Sushi in October 2011. In 2014, Osaka Sushi won Burnaby Now Readers Choice award for Best Sushi in Burnaby – quite the coup. What makes this sushi restaurant stand out from the rest is that Zou sources the best local and international ingredients at better prices than most of its competitors. Zou has a great relationship with his suppliers and producers and can pass the savings onto his customers. In season now, Zou is creating dishes featuring fresh BC Sockeye Salmon, BC Tuna and BC Sea Urchins. Customers can enjoy Wild Sockeye Salmon Sashimi, Pepper Tuna Tataki and Uni on special now for a limited time. In addition to the traditional popular dishes, people flock to Osaka Sushi for its selection of unique, specialty rolls. Osaka Sushi’s menu offers up over 20 original rolls – a large selection for a sushi restaurant of this size. Among the favorites are the vegetarian Fantastic Veggie Roll (yam tempura, topped with delicately carved avocado, potato crunch flakes and house special sauce) and the Osaka Dragon Roll (pumpkin tempura, cucumber, tuna toro, topped with yellowtail, green onion and Osaka special sauce). Osaka Sushi also offers up a delicious 36 item lunch special where customers can choose their favorite items. The bright, modern style 30-seat eatery features contemporary décor and soft lighting and is adorned with Japanese art. Osaka Sushi’s atmosphere and friendly servers make it warm and inviting. If you’re looking for some tasty sushi in the North Burnaby area, Osaka Sushi is the place. Open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week, the popular restaurant is located at 4152 East Hastings, Burnaby. Delivery is also available with a minimum $25 order. For more information or to order take out, call 604-291-9669 or visit www.osakasushiburnaby.com.
