Fee hikes threaten sports clubs Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Two sports clubs that have run in Burnaby for decades are worried they might have to fold because of rental-rate increases of as much as 900 per cent for school district athletic facilities.

“It’s very disappointing,” said Kyndrie Malmquist, president of the Burnaby Striders Track and Field Club. “We should be encouraging fitness in kids and in the youth, and to have the club possibly dissolve because we can’t afford the fees would be very disappointing.”

The Striders have held winter training sessions on the 200-metre indoor track and in the weight room at Burnaby South Secondary since the school opened in 1993 – and count the likes of former CFL star running back Jon Cornish among their speedy alumni.

The club has seen rental-rate increases of about two or three per cent annually for the facility over the years, according to longtime Striders coach Winston Reck-

The club, active in Burnaby for 30 years, might fold because of big increases in school district rental fees. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR ord, but last year he was told his club would have to start paying 10 times more for the facility in the future.

Instead of paying a total of $440 to use the Burnaby South facilities for two hours three times a week from October to March, Reckord

was told the Striders would have to pay $4,514.

The district has agreed to implement the Striders’ rate increase gradually over three years, but that’s cold comfort for Reckord.

“It still works out the same way because, at the end of three years,

we’re still back to the original figure,” he said.

The Striders coach also questions why the rates the district is now charging for Burnaby South are so high compared to the $693 flat rate the Striders pay the City of Burnaby to rent Burnaby Cen-

tral’s outdoor track from April to August.

At Burnaby Mountain Secondary, meanwhile, Burnaby Women’s Volleyball found out last spring its gym rental fees would more than triple.

MLA: More political hooey on hospital Kathy Corrigan says latest government announcement on city hospital is just ‘tinkering around the edges’ Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The B.C. Liberal government has announced it’s moving forward with plans for the renewal of Burnaby Hospital, but Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP MLA Kathy

Corrigan says she’s heard that line before.

“I think they are making an announcement yet again a year before an election that is entirely a political announcement,” Corrigan told the NOW. “They have used Burnaby Hospital as a po-

litical football for years, and in the end they’ve done nothing about rebuilding the hospital or building a new hospital.”

The province announced last week it was starting work on a concept plan for the renewal of key facilities at the local health

care centre, parts of which were built in 1952.

The plan will define the scope and budget for the expansion or renovation of the emergency department, surgical and diagnostic services and the replacement of some in-patient beds, according to

a government press release.

The announcement sparked media reports the hospital had been awarded a $622-million upgrade and expansion, but the concept plan announced last week Continued on page 10

Newsnow THE PIPELINE

Kayaktivists descend on terminal

By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Hundreds of pipeline opponents surrounded Kinder Morgan’s marine terminal in Burnaby on Saturday, calling for an end to fossil fuel projects.

The protest featured an estimated 200 kayakers on water and 800 on land, circling the Westridge Marine Terminal, where tankers fill up with crude from the Trans Mountain pipeline.

“I think the overall message of the day was it was a call on the federal government to begin a transition towards 100 per cent renewable energy,” said Amina Moustaqim-Barrette, Greenpeace communications coordinator.

The event was part of Break Free, a global series of protests targeting fossil fuel projects. Greenpeace and 350.org organized the event with participation from Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion.

Some of the kayakers went as far as crossing a boom around the terminal, while land protesters chained small locks to one of the entrance gates. Both groups left messages on why they were protesting.

The demonstration didn’t disrupt work on Saturday, according to Ali Hounsell.

“There was no impact

PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER to operations that day,” she said. “We respect that there are different views about the project, and people have the right to express those views, which is what we saw Satur-

day.We have always encouraged people to talk to us directly.”

Moustaqim-Barrette expects more protest activity with the National Energy

Board’s decision due sometime this week.

“As things progress and the National Energy Board decision is released and the government moves for-

ward with their consultation on the Kinder Morgan pipeline, people will now have the skills to move forward with this kind of work and take action in their own

communities,” she said.

“They will be there every step of the way to take action to ensure these pipelines don’t get built.”

It’s official: Chu is Rinaldo responds to controversy new city manager

NEWS

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It wasn’t the start Liberal hopeful Randy Rinaldo likely wanted after he became the candidate for the Burnaby-Lougheed riding.

But a few days after comments he made on Twitter a number of years back resurfaced, he appears to have owned them and has apologized.

Rinaldo told the NOW he doesn’t blame people if they were offended by his tweets, adding he had no excuses for the offensive comments.

Two separate tweets dating back to 2012 got the most attention: “@Ujjaldosanjh the Roma people are destroying my Italy

you need to do your homework mr dosanjh, Gypseys=rape pillage steal.” “@pattibachus @cknw Child poverty is a cultural problem not a system problem, many people out there shouldn’t be having kids #irresponsible.”

Rinaldo said in the four years since he made the statements, he’s gotten married, become a dad and served as a riding president for the Liberals.

On the latter, the now 33-year-old said he has a better understanding of the inner workings of government and how policy is set.

“Hot-headed tweets like that are not going to get any message across,” he said.

Also noting that he grew

up in the social media age, Rinaldo said he hopes his situation won’t deter young people from entering politics because of what they might have said in the past.

He pointed to past elections where candidates have had to step aside because of their past on social media.

“If we don’t get some youth in government to represent our needs, we’re not going to have any representation,” he said.

When voters head to the polls next May, Rinaldo is confident voters won’t be looking at his past tweets but instead concentrating on the record of the parties.

“No one’s going to lose sleep at night over a tweet made four years ago, but

they are going to lose sleep at night if they don’t have a job and their taxes are going up and we go into deficit and have a downturn like we had in the ’90s,” Rinaldo said, taking a jab at the NDP who were in power in the province during the decade.

The realtor by day said he decided to run to give the Burnaby-Lougheed riding a seat at the government table.

“We’re performing so well, and I get to join this team, how could I have said no?” he said.

The NDP’s Jane Shin won the riding in 2013, beating out the Liberal challenger by more than 700 votes.

The City of Burnaby has a new top bureaucrat, and council didn’t look far to fill the position.

On Friday, the city made it official, announcing Lambert Chu as the new city manager.

Chu had served as deputy city manager since 2012 and had been acting city manager since the retirement of Bob Moncur in February.

“Lambert has delivered exceptional results on many projects and in many capacities during his time with the city,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan in a statement.

“His comprehensive background with the city and the fact that he already has developed excellent working

relationships in city hall and throughout the community will serve him well in his new role. Council is looking forward to working with him to realize the many exciting projects underway and on the horizon.”

Chu began working with the city in 1990 as the deputy director of engineering, eventually becoming the director in 2007.

Exactly how much Chu will earn as the new city manager isn’t known, but according to the city’s most recent Statement of Financial Information, Moncur was the highest paid employee in 2014, taking home $255,471.

City now Grits against gender bill

Kennedy Stewart’s proposed legislation on gender parity in the House of Commons passed its first hurdle, but a leaked memo suggests the bill may die without Liberal support.

Stewart, the NDP MP for Burnaby South, is proposing financial penalties for parties that don’t have at least 45 per cent female

candidates.

Stewart told the NOW that a leaked government memo showed Maryam Monsef, the Democratic Institutions Minister, encouraging other Liberal MPs not to support the bill.

“The reasons were so weak,” Stewart said, explaining he provided a legal opinion stating the bill was

constitutional.

The next debate on the matter is in September, but without the ruling party’s support, the bill won’t pass.

There are 88 female MPs in the House of Commons, representing only 26 per cent of the seats.

League may not survive Continued from page 1 The league has operated in Burnaby for 40 years.

The majority of its players were once Burnaby residents, according to founder Diane Butt, but the number of local players has shifted to below 60 per cent of the league over the years, and the district told organizers last year it therefore would have to start paying the private rental rate.

That will eventually mean an increase from about $40 an hour to about $135 an hour.

The district has deferred the increase until August 2017, but Butt doesn’t think the league will survive past then.

“I’ll be shocked if people will pay that,” she said. “I know I myself wouldn’t pay four times what I’m paying to play volleyball.”

Burnaby Women’s Volleyball fills a special niche in the region, according to Butt, providing an all-female environment that’s competitive – but not too competitive.

“I lived for volleyball. I couldn’t wait every Tuesday to play volleyball,” Butt said.

The league has been around so long, she said, that the daughters of the original players are now the ones playing and organiz-

ing teams.

Butt said she’d like to see the school district grandfather the league and give it a chance to keep running.

“My argument with them was I can certainly see this affecting new users but not users that have been with you for 40 years,” she said.

But there’s little chance the district will reverse its decision.

“There’s no plans to, no,”

We aren’t there trying to make a large profit off of anything.

secretary treasurer Greg Frank told the NOW. “We have to be equitable to all of our users out there and make sure that we’re consistent in terms of how we do this.”

The district hasn’t actually changed its fees, Frank said; it has simply centralized the administration of them.

“During that process we identified some users out there that weren’t following our normal fee structure,” he said. “We have a district process with district rates in

place, and those have been there historically; however, there have been some historical arrangements in schools that weren’t being caught by our district process, and so we’ve done a thorough review over the last year-and-a-half to two years to make sure that all of our users are going through the right district process.”

A key issue for the district is getting back the money it spends to keep school facilities open, Frank said.

“We have to heat them; we have to clean them; we have wear and tear,” he said.

“We aren’t there trying to make a large profit off of anything.We’re just trying to recover part of our costs for making that facility available.”

And, as far as the school district charging more than the city, Frank said that’s the up to city hall.

“The city is choosing to subsidize that,” he said.

“How they go about doing that is their business not the school district’s business, but we have to recover our operating costs for these facilities.”

Longtime provincial Liberal and Burnaby resident Brian Bonney is facing a new charge related to the “ethnic vote scandal” that blew up prior to the last election.

On Tuesday, the province’s Criminal Justice Branch announced that a special prosecutor approved a charge of breach of trust against Bonney.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

C’mon, Trudeau. Take the leap now

Hundreds of protesters – many in kayaks – raised their voices, signs and paddles on Saturday in Burnaby to raise awareness about Kinder Morgan’s pipeline proposal.

The pipeline plan involves a major expansion of oil delivery to the Trans Mountain storage facility and marine terminal on Burrard Inlet, where it would then be shipped off in tankers.

It’s a plan that doesn’t make any real rational sense on so many levels. It is neither a safe location nor an

environmentally sound one for a major oil transportation point.

The plan is also based on a troubling economic premise: that selling more oil will ensure our prosperity in the future. In fact, the entire pipeline plan is founded on a product whose demand is dwindling.

But those reasons, which should be enough to stop the project in its tracks, are just symptomatic of the bigger issue.

The problem is that our use and dependence on fos-

sil fuels is killing our planet.

It is the direct cause of climate change and pollution.

Fracking is causing earthquakes and poisoning water supplies. Our addiction to our cars and gas-guzzling toys – boats, ATVs, etc. – is hurting us. It is making the planet’s environment dirtier, hotter and unhealthier for all living creatures.

So why is our government even pondering an expansion of a dying industry, and why can’t our political leaders make a dramatic change to other energy supplies?

For the same reason we can’t give up our gas-guzzling toys.The same reason we hate it when the power goes out, the coffee runs out, the TV breaks, and the cheezies in the snack bar are gone.We are addicted to comfort and routine. It is hard to change. It is hard to give up the “rewards” for going along with a fossil fuel economy. It is scary and uncomfortable.

Frankly, it’s not entirely our fault.We live in a society that values growth and profit above all else.Yes, we

recognize unselfish acts and charitable giving, but money is still the basic benchmark of success.

And, let’s face it, if we drop fossil fuels and make a significant leap into alternative energy sources, we’re going to lose some of our favourite things. It will mean changing our economic expectations. And it will require much government support to build literal and figurative bridges to the new economy.The move will not be without its bumps. But the longer we put it off, the

less chance we have of making the transition before climate change makes it a moot point.

We can make the leap if leaders like Justin Trudeau care more about the future of the planet than the next election.

C’mon, Justin Trudeau, kill the pipeline and lead us into a truly sustainable and soul-nourishing economy.

Your kids, and grandkids, will thank you for it.

Burnabynow.com

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Greens should scare the NDP Green Party leader AndrewWeaver wants history to repeat itself.

More specifically, next spring he wants to see a replay of the 1991 election campaign where the thenthird party shot to prominence and finished second, chiefly because of the performance of its party leader in the televised leaders’ debate during the campaign.

In other words,Weaver wants to “pull a Gordon Wilson” and take advantage of any dissatisfaction voters may have with both the ruling B.C. Liberals and the Opposition New Democrats.

He chuckled when I put that suggestion to him recently, but he did say he intends to focus on what he calls the “dichotomy of dysfunction” he says has strangled the B.C. legislature and the political process itself.

That take, of course, mirrorsWilson’s line during the 1991 debate when he pointed at NDP leader Mike Harcourt and Social Credit leader Rita Johnston as they squabbled over some issue and famously said: “This is why nothing ever gets done in the province of British Columbia.”

Of course,Weaver will need a lot of things to break his way if he wants same kind of payoff enjoyed by Wilson, who took his B.C. Liberal party to official Opposition status.

Back then,Wilson took advantage of voter fatigue with a tremendously scan-

dal-plagued government beset by brutal internal problems, and many Socred voters simply went over and backed the other “free enterprise party” in the race.

But for all the controversies hovering over the current B.C. Liberal government, there’s hardly much of a parallel to the 1991 situation. For one thing, Christy Clark lurched from one controversy to another before the 2013 election and still won handsomely.

Plus, any internal problems plaguing her government – and there were some serious ones – disappeared with the successful election result.

However,Weaver is clearly counting on the continued struggles of the NDP to establish a coherent election platform will allow him an opening and a chance to appeal to those who are tired of the B.C. Liberals but very unsure about the NDP alternative.

NDP leader John Horgan insists the Green Party drains votes almost entirely from the B.C. Liberals. He’s about the only one who thinks that, andWeaver says his party gets support right across the political spectrum.

I’m not convincedWeaver will indeed have his “GordonWilson moment,” but he will try to fashion one, and the ones who should be most worried about it happening are the New Democrats and their leader.

Twitter furor ‘much ado about nothing’

Liberal candidate’s Twitter past sparks a blog – and a debate

Dear Editor The upset over Randy Rinaldo’s tweets (last) week has been a bit overblown. In fact, most of the controversies about candidates social media histories are much ado about nothing.

Social media is a forum for reacting to news stories, sharing opinions, debating issues. I’d rather have a candidate who obviously follows the important issues and is passionate about them, than a white-washed politician who says nothing of consequence at all in an effort to avoid offending anyone.

And besides, the things he tweeted about should hardly bar him from public office.

Questioning the role of family and upbringing in the perpetuation of child poverty – that sounds like a legitimate discussion. Expressing concern over the impact of Roma/Traveller encampments in Europe – well that’s a very real issue for people who actually live in the areas affected.

Glad to see the B.C. Liberals are standing by Rinaldo on this --- let the voters decide during the election, but we ought to be a bit less thinskinned as a society.

We need to protect mountain from fires Dear Editor The recent forest fire destruction of part of Fort McMurray, Alta., reminded me of the tinder dry condition of the forest on Burnaby Mountain about 10 years ago.

We have been experiencing an earlier than usual spring with little rain. Periodic windstorms have toppled trees adding to the combustible litter on the forest floor.

This week, the River Forecast Centre announced the snowpack in coastal mountains was at its lowest level since records were initiated in 1980.

As a homeowner on the eastern side of Burnaby Mountain, I am concerned not enough is being done to reduce the risk of an urban forest fire by clearing debris and thinning trees along the forest edges of Burnaby Mountain.

So, these people are protesting a pipeline in their polyethylene kayaks with plastic paddles, in neoprene wetsuits likely brought to the water on the roof racks of their gas-powered vehicle with rubber tires on an asphalt road.

Every one of these products brought to you by the magic of petroleum and its byproducts.

You are all complicit in the world’s need for fossil fuels and stopping a pipeline does not change that.

You are nothing but hypocrites.

Travis What is going to become important in these cases is how people deal with their past social media interactions coming to light. These blunders getting attention are going to become more common. It is not that we need people without a past, who have been safe, and never said anything controversial, or foolish, but people that can stand up and admit they were foolish, and be frank about it. This is where Randy is failing. … It is foolish to hold someone’s previous opinions against someone forever. People can most definitely change, often big changes in their ideas and viewpoints, but they have to demonstrate that, and right now he is doing quite a poor job doing that.

Ian5 His offensive remarks nonetheless speak to his character - they are only four years old. Why should we assume his attitudes have changed?

Where is the evidence? Has he worked for or approached any anti-poverty groups for example? Sure, everyone makes mistakes...what I find remarkable isn’t that he made the remarks, but that he’s the best candidate the party apparatus can generate.

Michael Very well said. Our social justice warriors are out in force on this one and just looking to excoriate anyone who doesn’t conform to their definition of politically correct thinking on every issue. Heaven forbid their wrath for anyone who has ever expressed an opinion at some point in their life.

Ron It is okay to express an opinion however I for one do not want someone representing me who agrees with his comments about having children or not having them. We already have to many arrogant rascist politicians without adding one more who we know has these bigoted feelings. in May 2017 you have the opportunity in Burnaby Lougheed to say this is unacceptable no matter what age you are. @bcargnel hey if it’s good enough for Trump? This guy could be a premiere in waiting! @JJofBC I think he should be judged by his own lofty standards @StumpyJoChilds Only 4 years ago & he was a BCLiberal Riding Assoc. Pres. at time of tweets too.

Mark Others have stepped down for way less offensive tweets and only one of them. He strikes me as a entitled realtor who will fit right in with the Liberal way unfortunately. He seemed to enjoy attacking others in letters he had written and is now blaming this fiasco on youth. Sorry, it was a couple of years ago, do not buy it.

City now New panel will review Kinder Morgan pipeline Will consult with communities, indigenous groups Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

The federal government has announced a threeperson panel to review the Kinder Morgan pipeline, just days before the National Energy Board makes its final recommendation on the project.

The feds promised a new process to review the pipeline, one that would take place after the NEB’s review wraps up this Friday.

The panel includes Kim Baird,Tony Penikett and Annette Trimbee, and their job is to consult with communities and indigenous groups about the pipeline from June to November.

Federal cabinet makes the final decision on the pipeline, and that’s expected this December.

Baird is a former elected chief of the Tsawwassen First Nation, and she’s an expert on treaty relations and aboriginal rights and title. Penikett, theYukon’s former premier, worked as chief of staff for Ed Broadbent, the former NDP leader.Trimbee is the University of Winnipeg’s president, and she has deputy minister experience in Alberta.

Their work will culminate in a public report.

The feds promised three things for the Kinder Morgan pipeline: community consultation with a ministerial rep (now a three-person panel); more consultation with First Nations; and a greenhouse gas emissions assessment for the project, but for upstream emissions

Only Trudeau can stop Kinder Morgan only.The emissions report is due this Friday.

The panel announcement came from Natural Resources Canada via press release.

The NOW asked if and when the three ministerial representatives would come to Burnaby and was told details on the panel’s plan will be released in June.

Terry Beech, the Liberal MP for Burnaby NorthSeymour, said he would make sure local constituents have their voices heard in Ottawa.

“This will include vari-

ous public consultations in Burnaby, North Vancouver and the Lower Mainland through the summer and into the fall.These consultations will include events we will organize ourselves as well as participating in events and hearings hosted by other stakeholders and those hosted by the panel.

We will be reaching out to the panel to better understand how we can best engage and ensure that all relevant information finds its way to cabinet before a decision is made in December,” he said.

Kennedy Stewart, MP for Burnaby Douglas, said the federal government’s extra review process is a smoke screen. He questioned how they can consult with the dozens of municipalities and roughly 80 First Nations territories the pipeline route crosses.

“I think it’s three people that are going to wander around communities and in the end rubber stamp the project. It doesn’t change anything. Only Trudeau can stop Kinder Morgan,” he said.

What they expect from NEB:

The NEB’s final recommendation on the pipeline is due this Friday. Here’s what local stakeholders expect:

Ali Hounsell, media relations for the Trans Mountain Expansion: “We believe we’ve demonstrated through the evidence – through the scientific and technical evidence – as well as demonstrated through all the engagement and changes

to the project we’ve done as a result from feedback we’ve heard, that we can build and operate the project in the consideration of community, the environment and First Nations.”

Kennedy Stewart, New Democrat MP for Burnaby South: “I still think there’s a chance to have Mr. Trudeau say no. If the public gets ac-

Are low-income people being pushed out?

Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A community under attack.

It’s not only the name of a report by housing activists that sheds light on the effects the city’s development plans and demolitions have on the Metrotown neighbourhood, but a growing sentiment from the people who rent and live there.

This week, members of the Stop Demovictions Burnaby campaign gave the media a tour of an area undergoing redevelopment near Dunblane Avenue and Imperial Street.

The group chose the area because every building on the block is scheduled to be demolished and eventually developed into new highrise towers.

In all, 19 buildings will be demolished to make way for four development projects.

The study noted development companies Polygon and Amacon bought up all the apartments on the block.

The study also noted the 234 units on the block are only about a third of the

684 apartment units facing demolition in the Metrotown area.The study suggested nearly 1,400 people face eviction and displacement.

They are residents like Martin Lenin-Fernandez, who lives in an apartment on Imperial. He’s a single dad taking care of his two kids, who just moved

in with him from Nicaragua. He’s being evicted from his apartment at the end of June.

Lenin-Fernandez, who moved to Canada in 1990 and has lived in Metrotown for eight years, said he has no idea where he’s going to go at this point.

“Every day my blood pressure is up and I don’t know what to do,” he told the media during the tour of the neighbourhood, adding

he’ll also have to find a new school for his two young children.

The Burnaby resident said he currently pays $725 a month for his apartment, but now he expects his rent to double for any new place he lives.

He said he’s applied to B.C. Housing, but the organization can’t make any promises.

The group behind the study and campaign, which includes the Alliance Against Displacement, ACORN Burnaby and the Metrotown Residents’ Association, is putting the blame on the city’s development policies and the developers.

The report makes four recommendations to the city, suggesting that the city should: ! put a moratorium on demolishing apartment buildings; ! rehouse the residents displaced by the “demovictions”; ! create a new community plan that focuses on current residents most vulnerable to displacement; and ! dedicate city-owned land to social housing.

Ivan Drury, an organizer with the group, said half the people who took part in the study said they don’t know where they’ll go when evicted and are facing being homeless.

He said proposed plans for the area say nothing about current residents, suggesting the city and council are sending a message to

low-income and workingclass people that they don’t have a place in Burnaby.

The report found that none of the tenants surveyed had received any support from the city.

Drury also pointed out that from 2003 to 2006, the Metrotown area was the number 1 place where government-sponsored refugees

landed in B.C., but now the area houses practically none.

“This is a liquidation policy that is narrowing the demographics of this community and turning it into a place where belonging is dictated by money,” he told the NOW. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

City will give residents’ report ‘serious consideration’ Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A couple dozen members of a group pressuring the city to halt development in Metrotown made their way

to council Monday night in hopes of an answer to their report and recommendations on the issue.

But it looks like the group will have to wait to find out what the city thinks.

Members of the Stop Demovictions Burnaby campaign were in council to present their study, A Community Under Attack, which looks at the effects of development in the Metrotown

area and the displacement of residents from “demovictions.”

The report makes four recommendations including calling for the city to put a moratorium on demolish-

Are you not hearing clearly when a group of people are talking?

Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything being said, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, the Audéo V hearing aid has been designed specifically to understand speech in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in group situations, especially in restaurants. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that determine when you hear things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory centre of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

ing apartment buildings, to rehouse the residents displaced by the “demovictions,” to create a new community plan that focuses on current residents most vulnerable to displacement and

to dedicate city-owned land to social housing.

With Audéo V

The Audéo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

Developed by Swiss audiologists the Audéo V hearing aid is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can trial the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. During your FREE hearing test, our Hearing Care Professionals will determine how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the technology called “Autosense OS” plays.

This technology can recognize where the person being spoken to is located and can amplify only his or her voice,

while ambient noise is reduced. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing aid can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds, seamlessly adjusting to the listening situation.

According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for the right candidates.

City now Moratorium not ‘realistic’ Hospital announcement Continued from page 9 development needs immediate action.

“Demoviction is redefining the city of Burnaby’s urban citizenship,” he told council. “For those thrown out of their homes and communities by decisions made in this council chambers, the message is clear, they do not belong.”

City council accepted the study and told the group staff would look at it and come back with a reply at a later date.

Diewert said he was expecting some engagement by city council, suggesting the politicians were dismissing the report.

Mayor Derek Corrigan offered his thoughts on the study after the council meeting.

He called the report fair and said the city will give it “serious consideration” and ask staff to review some of the points made by the group.

“But we also have duties to deal with the million more people coming into the region and the reality that we have to increase

density around transit stations, and that is a very difficult balance to achieve,” he told the NOW. And when asked about a moratorium on demolitions and approving zoning applications, Corrigan said it wasn’t “realistic.”

He suggested a moratorium would only delay the inevitable and people who move in to the apartments will have the same problem in a few years.

Instead, the mayor said the city is looking for longterm solutions and creating housing affordability

that allows people to remain where they live.

Corrigan said the city is creating the densification needed, but acknowledged the new units are unaffordable for people with lower incomes. He argued the city is taking density bonus money to create affordable housing, noting $8.5 million being spent on social housing project at Southgate in Edmonds.

The mayor also called on the federal and provincial government to come up with a national housing strategy.

Continued from page 1 is only the first step toward getting government funding for only the first phase of the aging facility’s master site plan – a document completed more than three years ago.

And getting funding for even the first stage of the hospital’s redevelopment is likely at least two years away, according to Alan Grossert, Fraser Health’s executive director of facilities management and capital projects implementation.

While every project is different, Grossert told the NOW concept planning for a project like Phase 1 of the hospital usually takes more than a year, and crafting a business plan takes at least as long.

“From our point of view, the project would only be approved once the business plan is approved,” Grossert said.

He said the province hasn’t given Fraser Health a deadline for the completion of the concept plan, and no

timeline has been set for the project.

Corrigan, who has long called for the local hospital to be replaced, dismissed the project announced last week as “tinkering around the edges.”

“Essentially what they’re doing is they’re talking about moving some departments around,” she said.

“They’re not building a new hospital.They’re trying to make this into something exciting after years of inaction, and there’s nothing there.”

The shortcomings of Burnaby Hospital’s infrastructure are well-documented, dating back to at least 2001, when a master plan recommended replacement of the north and west wings.

Deadly outbreaks of the superbug C. difficile have since been linked to the hospital’s cramped and aging infrastructure.

Fraser Health’s 2013 high-level master plan for the hospital also called for

the replacement of the aging north and west wings.

The province has spent $36 million on upgrades at the hospital over the last 15 years, but Fraser Health director of strategic planning Andre Kroeger told the NOW two years ago that none of those projects has added any space to the facility.

The next step, he said in 2014, was to replace the north and west wings and expand the “technical heart of the campus.”

“The facilities are generally too small for current standards,” he said. “That’s the main issue.”

Corrigan isn’t confident the province is committed to changing that any time soon.

“They’re moving things around,” she said. “It’s like the Titanic.You’re heading towards an iceberg with that hospital, and they’re moving the deck chairs around.”

Health Minister Terry Lake did not respond to requests for comment before press time.

On April 26, attendees gathered at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre to hear Mayor Derek Corrigan’s 2016 Burnaby State of the City Address, painting a very positive picture for the short and long-term future for the City.

“Our town centres are continuing to grow and prosper; and our exemplary practice of protecting green space, while developing walkable, transit-focused, high-density focal points – Metrotown, Edmonds, Lougheed and Brentwood – continues to strike a critical balance between development and preservation,” said Corrigan.

State of the City con’t from cover within the next 25 years.

In an effort to deal with the growing strain of housing affordability, 20 per cent of all contributions made from Burnaby’s Community Benefit Bonus Policy, will go directly into a fund to support housingrelated projects. So far, $2 million from that fund has gone to support 257 units of nonprofit housing, while later in the year, council has approved a new program making City lands available for non-market and co-op housing projects.

When speaking about the recent developments and growth in Burnaby’s 4 Quadrants (Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed and Edmonds), Mayor Corrigan

Metropolis at Metrotown – Being Green is Always in Style

was excited to outline the application of new design throughout many of these routes, making Burnaby a more social and ecofriendly City.

The Mayor described that Metrotown Regional Town Centre, will be receiving more public art pieces featuring boulevards, street furniture and rain gardens.

While, Gilmore Station’s Master Plan is to integrate many new residential and commercial buildings, with the transit station, creating a vibrant gateway to Brentwood.

Brentwood is also making strides with the creation of the Willingdon Greenway, giving pedestrians and cyclists a four-metre-wide landscape, linking between Brentwood Town

Centre and Burnaby Heights complemented with public art.

The Lougheed Core Area Conceptual Plan, has received final adoption, and the community plan has been amended to reflect this new direction, by replacing the old Cameron Recreation Centre, with a new recreation centre, pool and a Library.

Finally, the Edmonds Town Centre Plan, is continuing to move forward with a focus on public facilities.

Another exciting project that will yield significant environmental benefits is the complete conversion of streetlights to LEDs. Burnaby is the first city in British Columbia to begin full conversion. So far, 1,900

streetlights have already been replaced in the southeast quadrant, and 4,000 will be converted in the southwest quadrant by the end of this year. This project is expected to be completed by 2018.

The City’s Energy Management Program continues to reduce energy consumption by 3-5 per cent each year, with a 5-year cumulative savings of $454,000 or 6.4 GWh which equals 584 households energy usage.

With Mayor Derek Corrigan, working closely with the business community and with citizens, it is clear Burnaby will continue being a great base for a brighter eco-friendly future. ¾

Pledge Success Story

By Tessa Vanderkop tessa@bbot.ca What got your organization thinking about sustainability?

As Burnaby’s largest retail and entertainment complex and third largest shopping centre in Canada, we’re committed to making a positive contribution to the community. We have integrated sustainable programs and practices for our shoppers, retailers, contractors and Metrotower Office Complex tenants, to make the mall and community a greener place for all of us to enjoy.

How did you decide what was most important to tackle first?

With 400 retailers and 29 million annual shoppers, we aim to continually improve our sustainable practices. This meant expanding our loading docks to have cardboard, paper, plastic, and glass recycling for retailers. As well, for our shoppers, we added separate paper and bottle recycling to our garbage stations throughout the centre.

During Spring 2015, we began working with our Food Court tenants with the implementation of designated back-of-house organic bins, which then were rolled out to all tenants.

How did the Metro Vancouver Organics Ban affect Metropolis at Metrotown?

During Fall 2015, four organic recycling stations launched in our busy, 1100 seat Food Court. We wanted to keep it simple for customers, so they just drop off their trays to one of the stations, and our team will separate the organics, plastics, paper, bottles/ cans, and waste items.

In October, we saw a 95% increase in the weight of our organics being composted, 124% increase in November, and 86% increase in December, over the prior year. Customers quickly embraced the new organics recycling system, and while the stations have been operational for less than a year, this already shows a monthly reduction of over 30,000 kilograms of organic material being diverted

from the landfill and properly composted.

What do you hope to achieve by making your business more sustainable?

We hope to continue to increase our diversion rate, to keep more recyclables and organics out of our landfills. Not only do we challenge ourselves to engage in eco-friendly activities, but we also support our partners and suppliers to do the same, including our large security and housekeeping teams. Concord Security’s Parking Division introduced the first multi-purpose parking enforcement electric vehicle used to patrol the large 8,000 stall parkade and surface lots, and Marquise Facilities, a division of Compass Group Canada, ensures all their cleaning chemicals are green certified and dispensed through a system that measure the portions to reduce wastage.

What are your next steps and goals?

Our next initiative, set to launch this

Spring, includes the addition of an organic recycling stream to all 80 of our waste receptacles in the common areas of the shopping centre.

What do you consider your biggest challenges?

With so many retailers, it can be challenging educating retail employees on the separation of various recyclable products, especially with the turnover of seasonal store staff. We aim to make the process simple and straight forward with communication in their Retailer Handbook, clear signage at the docks, and visits and education from mall management.

What was your motivation for joining the Pledge for a Sustainable Community and what have been its benefits?

We believe that by creating a green and more efficient retail and work environment, the more attractive the shopping experience

will be to our customers. As BC’s largest shopping centre, not only did we want to continually push to deepen our sustainability, but also share our best practices and have the opportunity to learn what is working well for others.

What other sustainable programs does Metropolis take part in?

Throughout the year, Metropolis participates in a number of sustainable events including National Sweater Day, Earth Hour, and Earth Day. Also, through the Community Investment Fund program, Metropolis is able to support a variety of local non-profit organizations on their environmental programs including community school gardens, seed and cooking classes, environmental education and community art. ¾

eith and Helen Tong learned a lot from owning and operating a pharmacy for almost a decade.

Mostly, they saw a need for a more proactive approach to wellness.

“Our experience as pharmacy owners showed us that people really need to take a more proactive approach to their lives,” says Keith. “If you’re sick and taking medication, you are not solving the underlying problem.”

After nine successful years, Keith and Helen sold their pharmacy and opened an innovative wellness therapy centre in Burnaby: Pure 5 Wellness Hub. “We started Pure 5 to help solve the underlying problems through preventative practices,” says Helen. “It’s not about a paycheck for us. We want to help people and the community.”

Keith and Helen will each graduate with a Bachelors of Holistic Health Science in early 2017. They plan on obtaining their PhD in natural medicine before the end of 2018, all while operating Pure Wellness Hub. Pure 5 Wellness Hub opened its doors this past January and currently offers a wide variety of services, some complementary to mainstream medicine, others stand-alone therapies relatively new to Canada. In addition to naturopathy, acupuncture, and registered massage

therapy, they offer salt halotherapy and pulsed electromagnetic frequency. Both can be very difficult to find.

“Halotherapy and PEMF are useful therapies for many modalities,” says Keith.

“They allow your body to self-heal, and that’s a core value of our business.”

Joining Keith and Helen at Pure 5 is Reiki healer Marat Ismailov, a certified massage and bioenergy therapist; Susan Jung, has her B.Sc in Biology and is a registered acupuncturist who specializes in anti-aging facial acupuncture; and Dr. Rick Santimaw, the on-hand naturopathic physician, who holds a degree in health science in both kinesiology and anatomy.

Connect with Keith and Helen at Pure 5 Wellness Hub by email at help@pure5wellness.com, book online at www.pure5wellness.com, or call 604 428 8682. Pure 5 Wellness Hub is located at 318 Gilmore Ave, Burnaby.

You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter.

Atletico ascends in debut Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Born from a club breakup, the firstyear Campo Atletico were an unknown to start the Vancouver Metro Soccer League’s Div. 2 season nearly a year ago.

Even those in charge had their expectations tempered by all the new moving parts and new players.

Following Saturday’s dramatic 3-1 triumph over Rino’s Fury, earning the Burnaby-based Atletico the Keith Millar Cup, the journey has a storybook feel.

Behind a quicksilver strike by Pablo Mora Angel just six seconds into the final, Campo Atletico dominated at times and fended off a hungry Vancouver Metro rival to collect the Div. 2 provincial title.

“This year if you had said we’d finish top-five I’d had said great,” remarked club president and midfielder Giancarlo Cusano. “To essentially start from the beginning, with so many new players and expectations unknown, this was definitely incredible.”

Formerly under the North Van and FC Campobasso banner, Cusano and core members of the team set out on their own after a break-up with the rest of the club.

Starting fresh with a good group of players and one-time Campobasso coach Eduardo Azmitia, Cusano prepared for a test of fire as Atletico established chemistry and a footing in the Div. 2-A circuit.

While the first month reflected that reality, once mid-October came the squad hit its stride, suffered just one loss the rest of the way.They won nine of their final 11 league matches, surrendering just four goals along the way to a 15-5-2 record.

“It was a fantastic season, even if we hadn’t achieved (the Div. 2 and Provincial cups),” Cusano said. “We definitely had momentum heading into (cup play).”

It all came to a head in the provincial final, where a fiery start set the tone the rest of the way.

Off the opening kickoff, centre-mid Edson Castro pushed the ball quickly up to Mora Angel who split the defence and buried it behind a startled netminder.

“To get on the board just six seconds in was a huge boost, no one was expecting that,” recalled Cusano. “We led 2-0 at halftime and kind of kept pushing.”

Santiago Sanchez counted the team’s second goal, again off a Castro feed at the 25-minute mark, but prior to that netminder Zac Der made a tremendous save off a Rino drive that would have drew the two teams even.

The club is now hoping for promotion to Div. 1, with rumours that along with a relegated team, one Div. 1 team is folding.

Considering that Cusano was a founding member of the Campobasso program in 2005, the rebranding exercise went better than he had hoped.

“Campo means family, a brotherhood,” he noted. “Our club was founded by bringing together outcasts with open arms, so this new beginning was very special. It couldn’t have ended more special.”

Tourney ends in ultimate celebration

Burnaby North regains district’s senior team bragging rights with final win Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

When the last bead of sweat had been wiped from a brow and the newly crowned champions hugged in celebration, the two finalists came together to mark a well-played final.

The second annual Burnaby-New Westminster senior high school final concluded Sunday with a 9-6 Burnaby North Vikings victory, claiming the crown with a well-played effort over last year’s victor Burnaby Mountain.

A rematch of last year’s final, the showdown put skill and passion on display, said Burnaby Mountain coach Danie Proby.

“It was quite close for most of the game, but (Burnaby North) pulled away. Last year they were heavily favoured and the team to beat and we kind of came together and surprised them.

“We couldn’t do it a second straight year.”

Proby, who also coached the inaugural Moscrop program, said the whole tournament was a success, with every team getting a chance to shine.

“In the end (Burnaby Mountain players) were quite sad, it was an emotional loss,” she said.

“But we joined with Burnaby North and celebrated the game as one group.”

Picking up the Spirit Award

was Moscrop.

The spirit of the game remained integral to all those involved, Proby said.

“It is extremely humbling to see these athletes work so hard over the season and want something so badly, and regardless of the outcome, they hold their opponents, their teammates, and themselves to the highest standards of sportsmanship and integrity.”

It capped a sweep for the Vikings, who also won the junior title on Saturday, topping firstyear Moscrop 12-5 in the final.

Big underdogs entering the tournament, Moscrop’s junior lineup rose up the ranks and ad-

vanced to the final by upsetting Burnaby Mountain with a onepoint win.

“It was crazy,” said Proby of the team’s surprising but welldeserved success. “When the season started I kind of forced them to play Tier 1 because I was already coaching in that division and it meant they had to learn against the best.

“They were kind of crushed all season long but came together in this tournament.”

The junior tourney also saw an all-star team formed for the final day from players chosen after the opening round.

Burnaby Mountain picked up the junior Spirit Award.

Jr. Lakers netminder stumps T-men

There’s nothing like a strong performance to erase the effects of a wipeout.

The Burnaby junior Lakers turned in a sharp outing on Sunday in knocking off the visiting Nanaimo Timbermen 13-8 at the Copeland Sports Complex.

Making it all possible was netminder Graham Husick, who turned aside 48 shots in a contest where the two sides combined to fire 105 shots on goal.

Burnaby grabbed the lead less than a minute in on Parker Willis’ marker, and led 3-0 by the 9:33 mark.

Although Nanaimo put in some decent rallies, closing the gap to a goal midway through the second period, the Lakers put

it away in the third, scoring the final three goals of the game.

Danny Spagnuolo counted two goals and three assists, while Wyatt Pinder scored twice and set up two others. Kyle Heiling and Willis both finished with two goals apiece.

Also scoring for Burnaby were Jordan Gabriele, Connor McNeill, Damon Prince, Anthony Quatrano and Brad Rowbotham, while Mason Pomeroy contributed four assists.

It came three days after the Lakers were shellacked 12-3 by the New Westminster Salmonbellies.

New West, hungry for its first win of the young B.C. Junior A Lacrosse season, broke

open a 4-2 game with eight of the next nine goals, including five unanswered in the third period.

Pinder, Quatrano and Spagnuolo tallied the Burnaby markers, while New West got hat tricks from Adam Dickson and Connor Robinson.

Hunsick, making his first junior A start of the season, faced a barrage as the Bellies fired 68 shots on the Laker net.

At 2-4 and in a three-way tie for fourth place, Burnaby picks up Friday when it visits Port Coquitlam.

On Sunday they host the undefeated Coquitlam Adanacs, 7 p.m. at the Bill Copeland Sports Complex.

Braves’ streak stopped It took a trip to Abbotsford to halt the Burnaby Braves’ 10-game undefeated streak.

The AAA midget baseball team saw its run halted after losses of 3-2 and 9-4 on the weekend in under-15 league play.

After falling behind 2-0 in the opener, the Braves tied the game in the top of the seventh only to see Abbotsford walk off with a run in the bottom of the inning.

Williams Camacho-Soto tossed six solid innings, allowing one earned run on only three hits, while Michael Briglio and Evan Hoegler picked up a pair of hits each.

In the second game of the doubleheader, it was a simi-

lar story.

Down 3-0, Burnaby plated two runs in the third, with Kaz Kada’s two-out single driving home one of the runs.The Braves would count two more runs to go ahead 4-3, but Abbotsford reclaimed the lead on a three-run blast in the fifth and didn’t look back.

Daniel Martin’s effort kept the Braves in the game, throwing 5-1/3 innings, giving up two earned runs.

Prior to the Abbotsford trip, Burnaby had been on an impressive run.

Beginning on the last day of April, the Braves steamrolled its competition with 10 straight wins -- half of which were by a one-or-two run margin.

Harper birdies it

Burnaby’s Leo Harper surged ahead of the pack with a final round of 2-under-70 to win the Canadian Junior Golf Association’s tour stop in Chilliwack.

Harper, 14, opened with a round of 77 but took control on the second day with three birdies for a two-round total of 147. Finishing 10 strokes back was Burnaby’s Andy Luo.

They knocked off rival White Rock 5-4 last week for their 10th game without a loss and eighth straight league win.

Back-to-back doubles by Briglio and Hoegler in the third broke open a 2-2 draw, followed later by a clutch Camacho-Soto double, driving home Kyle Kochi after he led off with a triple.

The game-winning run was a result of a successful suicide squeeze laid down

by Brendan Wang.

Sam Van Snellenberg closed out the win, earning his first save, as Hoegler corralled his team-leading fourth win of the season.

The Braves’ next test comes this weekend at a Richmond tournament.

The Question and Answer Period will provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions. You can also submit questions in advance at www.fraserhealth.ca/asktheboard.

This is a valuable opportunity to connect directly with the Fraser Health Board and Executive. Everyone is welcome to attend.
