ALLIANCE AGAINST DISPLACEMENT

‘The law is criminal, the law is unjust’ Activists vow to keep occupying a vacant Imperial Street apartment building until they’re forcibly removed

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The occupation of a vacant apartment on Imperial Street by protesters has moved into its second week with no end in sight.

By Tuesday, members of Alliance Against Displacement were still occupying 5025 Imperial St. and continuing to demand the city put a moratorium on all demolitions of older rental buildings in the Metrotown area.

The group had also stepped up its efforts to stop Amacon Developments, which owns the property, from starting demolition work on three other buildings that are part of the new development under protest.

On Monday, members of the group kicked reps from Amacon out of a neighbouring building, while locking the door with a spike.

Dave Diewert, a member of Alliance Against Displacement, said the group secured the building to make it harder for the developer to carry on its work around them.

Last week, the B.C. Supreme Court granted Amacon an injunction that would allow police to remove the protesters from the building immediately.

However, in the days that have followed, police have stopped by the building several times but only to chat with squatters.

Members of Alliance Against Displacement began occupying the building on July 9 and have vowed to stay until they are forcibly

The occupation is part of an ongoing battle between housing advocates and city hall over the issue of “demovictions.”

It remains unclear when police will enforce the injunction.

else to report.

“We’re here breaking the law because the law is criminal, the law is unjust, the law is harmful and violent,” Diewert said at a press gathering outside the building Tuesday, adding the demovictions are causing homelessness in Burnaby.

He noted about a dozen homeless people have stayed in the building.

They’re not being socially conscious DJ Larkin, a lawyer with Pivot Legal Society, was also at the site and argued the demolition of buildings and eviction of people with-

out providing adequate replacement housing is a violation of human rights.

“The fact that Burnaby got away with passing a rezoning law that is within their jurisdiction, and technically legal and is now using that zoning law as an excuse to not engage with and not uphold their obligations as a municipality to protect the human rights of these

Aussie riders take Giro di Burnaby wins A brief rainstorm prior to the start of the Giro Di Burnaby didn’t put a damper on an exciting evening of cycling.

Spectators lined the streets of the Heights last Thursday to watch the action in the ninth Giro race and see Australians take both the men’s and women’s races.

We wanted to come over here and race with the big boys Scott Law finished the 45-lap, 58.5-kilometre race in one hour, 18 minutes and 15 seconds to take the top prize on the men’s side.

“This race suited me really well, with such a long sprint, and coming into the last corner about fourth wheel was perfect for me; I just bided my time and launched and came away with the win,” the 25-yearold said in a press release from B.C. Superweek organizers. “This is our first time overseas, and we’re just a little team from New South Wales in Australia.We just wanted to come over here and race with the big boys, and it seems to be going pretty well, I guess.”

For his efforts, Law took home $2,400 for first place.

just under a second behind Law. Rally Cycling’s Brad Huff of St. Louis, Missouri finished third.

On the women’s side, KimberleyWells crossed the finish line with a time of one

hour, 39.22 seconds.

“Rain makes a breakaway more likely to stick on a course like this, but the road was drying out, so that played into our hands for a bunch sprint,” she said in a

press release from B.C. Superweek organizers.

Canadian Stephanie Roorda finished second behindWells, while fellow Canuck Alison Jackson finished in third place.

The Giro is part of the Superweek series, a collection of cycling races around the region.

The event is open to male and female cyclists competing for a total prize purse

of over $15,000, collected from sponsorships.The race consists of 30 laps of the 1.2-kilometre course for the women and 45 laps for the men.

Burnaby Blues + Roots Fest fast approaching Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

The 17th annual Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival at Deer Lake Park is just around the corner.

The nine-hour event on Saturday, Aug. 6 is once again expected to attract some 5,000 music fans, according to Jared Bowles, the city’s marketing coordinator.

“We’re still three weeks out, and the weather is starting to get better now.

We’re expecting tickets to start flying out the door,” he said.

The 2016 lineup includes Colin James as the headlining act, with performances

by Frazey Ford, Cyril Neville and the Royal Southern

Brotherhood, gospel group Como Mamas (see a Q&A on page 11), indie-singer-songwriter Lindi Ortega and Billy Dixon on the Main Stage.

“Colin’s been a great friend of the festival since its inception.This is going to be his fourth time performing but his first since 2008,” noted Bowles. “We’re really looking forward to having him back. He’s been releasing some new music over the last few years, so he’s going to come and play a little bit of that, and play a lot of his old songs that people just love.”

The Garden Stage will have queen of soul Dawn Pemberton, Ben Rogers and blues legend Wes Mackey, while the Westwood Stage

is where guitarist Cecile Doo-Kingue and folk band Shred Kelly will perform.

“The whole lineup’s just fantastic,” Bowles said, adding the best part of the festival is that “there’s always a

We’re expecting tickets to start flying out the door

surprise.”

“A performer that people have never heard of before, they’re going to come and just instantly just fall in love with them. It’s happened

every year since I’ve been here. It’s kind of a guarantee.”

Kids under the age of 12, meanwhile, get in for free if accompanied by an adult.

Youngsters can take advantage of the Blues Family Area, which will have lots of different activities on offer.

In between musical acts, festival-goers can stroll through the Blues Market and check out the 16 vendor booths.

“This year, we’re lucky enough to have secured quite a few new vendors,” added Bowles. “There’s going to be lots of people our patrons haven’t seen before.”

In terms of transportation, there will be a free shuttle from BCIT to the

festival all day, running back and forth. Music lovers are encouraged to park their vehicle at the school and hop on the bus.

The festival will be equipped with ATM machines, washrooms, a first aid tent, a designated smoking area, a lost and found, special needs seating and bike racks.

Tickets are on sale now.

Singles cost $60 and a fourpack is $200. Day-of, it’ll cost $75. Anyone with kids can call the box office at 604-205-3000 to arrange complimentary tickets.

Gates open at noon and the show starts at 1 and ends at 10 p.m.

Newsnow Where is NDP on demovictions?

Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

As the occupation of 5025 Imperial St. by housing activists stretches into its second week, a growing chorus of criticism is being levelled at elected officials in Burnaby for not speaking out on the issue of demovictions.

The main target of condemnation from groups supporting the protest are

the provincial and federal New Democrats in Burnaby, who critics have suggested are unwilling to speak out against the mayor and council because of their close ties to the party.

The NOW reached out to some of the elected NDP members in Burnaby to ask them about demovictions and the city’s handling of the issue.

Burnaby-Deer Lake

MLA Kathy Corrigan said she wasn’t going to discuss what the city is doing and told the NOW to speak to Mayor Derek Corrigan.

“I’m not going to get into that and I’m sure you can understand why,” she said.

However, the MLA – who is married to the mayor – was willing to discuss the issue of demovictions, arguing the provincial and federal governments have done

a “dismal job” building affordable and social housing over decades.

“That’s the root of the problem,” Corrigan said, adding there is now a deficit of thousands of units and no place for people to go.

She also noted the City of Burnaby asked the province for the ability to zone for rental housing but was turned down.

‘They’re being developer conscious’

Continued from page 1 Imperial St. for six years before getting an eviction notice and leaving for good in mid-June. Pasanen, a veteran, said he was lucky to find a new place a few blocks away, but his rent went up $200 a month.

He said he doesn’t buy the city’s argument that the issue is one for the provin-

cial or federal government to fix, suggesting the municipality has the right to deny the rezoning application but refuses to do so.

“They’re supposed to be a socially conscious party, and they’re not being socially conscious; they’re being developer conscious,” he said.

Residents pack meeting on pipeline and climate Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Close to 200 people came out to MP Terry Beech’s town hall meeting on climate change and the Kinder Morgan pipeline, raising concerns about everything from bees to bitumen, to tank farm explosions and oil spills.

The first half of the meeting, held on Saturday at Confederation Community Centre, focused on climate change, and Beech, the Liberal MP for Burnaby North-Seymour, started by outlining what the federal Liberals were doing about the issue. Dozens of residents stepped up to the microphone to share their opinions.

The second half of the meeting was about the

Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, and many local residents raised more heated concerns.

Burnaby resident John Clarke garnered loud ap-

plause when he addressed Beech directly.

“Terry, do your part, do what you promised you would do. Stand up to your handlers in Ottawa and tell them the people here are fed up,” he said.

One woman, who lives close to the Burnaby tank farm, read a list of things the company suggests people do in the event of an emergency.The list, which included things like fleeing on foot but upwind only, and calling 911 from a landline, elicited laughter from the audience.

A local beekeeper, who said her family was displaced when the first pipeline was built decades ago, raised concerns about environmental impacts on bees.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Whatever happened to accountability?

George Gretes, former aide to the transportation minister, was fined last week for lying to the B.C.’s information and privacy commissioner about his role in the triple delete email scandal.

Responding to a freedom of information request by deleting the requested emails wasn’t a crime, but lying about it was – and Gretes will pay $2,500 for his sin.

The province has already accepted recommendations

from the commissioner on tightening up rules around transparency, like ending the practice of triple deleting emails.This a good first step, but the fact it was even necessary is a troubling sign.

So far, little has occurred to change the government culture of hiding from accountability. Even the whistleblower who sounded the alarm about the habit of triple deleting emails says Gretes was just the one who got caught.

Indications of the lengths

It is what happens when political considerations trump interests in governing. government officials will take to avoid a paper trail are many.

Some have adopted a work-around policy of not writing down any sensitive information, or of transmitting such information through private email ac-

counts and text messages.

Some senior bureaucrats have admitted to issuing instructions on Post-It notes.

Our provincial finance minister has claimed he does not even use email.

It’s difficult to imagine a government that makes

sound, defensible decisions functioning this way, but it is what happens when political considerations trump interests in governing.

And exactly who is being kept in the dark?

That would be us, the public.

Accountability in the wake of this scandal has largely been missing.

The only person being penalized for this whole mess is one young staffer, when the reality is that concerns about accountabil-

ity and transparency need to stop squarely at the desk of the person in charge – which is to say, the premier herself.

It’s up to British Columbians to decide whether they care enough to take the next course of action available to us all.

Which is, of course, that action we can take at the ballot box next May. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Looking for a breakout issue The circus is coming back to town next week, which means B.C.’s MLAs will have to wrench themselves from the barbecue circuit and spend at least a few days arguing excitedly with each other.Yes, the legislature is being recalled for at least a few days to debate legislation that will give the City ofVancouver the power to place a special tax on vacant homes and that will implement sweeping regulatory changes regarding the real estate industry.

But while dealing with that legislation will take up the bulk of the legislature sitting’s daily business, much of the public and media focus will be on the halfhour daily question period, which should serve as a warm-up venue for the various themes the parties will be stressing come next spring’s election campaign.

As such, expect the NDP Opposition to hammer away on two themes important to them: affordability and ethical government.

The party has just recently started to apply some details to two key policies.

One of them is a promise to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour, a level similar to where places like Alberta and Seattle are headed.

As well, the NDP is starting to flesh out its promise to get rid of Medical Service Plan premiums, and replace them with a new tax that will see those on higher incomes pay more than those on lower ones.

Both ideas have consid-

erable merit, but they don’t necessarily translate into a boost in popularity for the NDP. For one thing, there are not a lot of voters earning the minimum wage.While there are potentially more than three million voters, less than 100,000 of them earn the minimum wage anyways and most of those are young people who don’t vote in any significant numbers.

Getting rid of the MSP premium structure is a good idea, but there may be some political risk from what replaces it. Many people (particularly those in unions) don’t pay the MSP monthly premium because their employer does, so replacing it with a new tax – even though it will likely be lower than existing MSP rates – may not prove the most popular of moves.

As for the B.C. Liberals, look for them to respond to every question with an answer tied, however tenuously, to the B.C. economy, which leads the country in performance. And they will continue to taunt the NDP as being a party of internal contradictions and uncertain leadership.

The session will likely only last four days, unless the New Democrats want to return after the B.C. Day long weekend for further practice at fine-tuning their messaging. But I suspect returning to the barbecue circuit will win out instead.

Fungus festers on field El Nino was blamed for what could have been a major disaster for local sports fields in August. Hot, humid conditions sparked a virulent fusarium infection in the grass of the Central Valley field hockey areas. Seventy per cent of one field was reduced to bare earth within four days by the fungus, which could have spread via mowing equipment. Fortunately, the fields were closed for summer maintenance and were quickly treated with fungicide.

‘Social cleansing’ of city is unacceptable

Debate over pipeline continues after event

Dear Editor I’m writing to you today as it is my wish to comment on the occupation of the building slated for demolition on Imperial Street in Burnaby.

It never had to come to this. However, the mayor and council of Burnaby have shown no political goodwill towards the affected renters in affordable buildings in Metrotown: they have declined to write standards of maintenance legislation that would have protected renters; they have not taken the opportunity to create a rent bank like those that exist in Vancouver and Surrey; they absolutely have failed to provide social housing even though they can afford to make a start on it, then invite higher levels of government to be partners. Finally, they have refused to stop the demovictions of affordable housing in the city.

In fact, they have increased the pace of social cleansing (gentrification) in the city. Inevitably, homelessness will be created.

So, finally, dedicated and caring housing advocates have stood up to prove that they do cure about renters in this town. These heroes from ground zero are proving a point.

When a political problem gets to this level, it is no longer politics as usual. The problem transcends everyday politics and becomes a moral concern. Renters of affordable housing in Metrotown are losing their homes. The occupation on Imperial Street is a simple act of civil disobedience. It is a justified act.

In the social cleansing that we have here, people without a lot of money are being swept out of the way so that the very wealthy can exercise their real estate investment opportunities. Such economic violence cannot be allowed to continue. This is Canada . No one is disposable here.

Ric Erb, co-chair, ACORN Burnaby

City at fault when it comes to displacement Dear Editor Mayor Corrigan and council are absolutely responsible for the development in Metrotown area.

The housing buck gets passed from one level of government to the other. Result: nothing gets done re: available housing for everyone. This should be a priority.

The developers are permitted to come along and take over. People who have lived in the area for years are displaced, and their homes levelled in preparation for eventual newcomers and increased rents.

You have no concern for those displaced who also need to be near the SkyTrain and who have contributed to pay your salary over the years. Your greed is ugly.

E. Chisholm, Burnaby

Fixed incomes leave renters few choices Dear Editor I think it's terrible that some apartment buildings are being torn down and leaving people displaced with nowhere to go.

Some of these people are on fixed incomes and can only afford so much.

Myself, I live in a condo in Burnaby.

Daryl Shim, Burnaby

Sean K I went to learn more about what each side was divided over.

Unfortunately I left with very little information. Alternatives weren’t presented and the proposed expansion was never clearly outlined. I was encouraged by the interest, but felt it was not a proportional representation of the riding.

It was mentioned during the discussion that only 5.8% of voters, voted Green, the only party to take a ‘no’ stance on the proposed pipeline, this did not go over well with the crowd. I appreciated the meeting but felt there was an imbalance with regards to perspectives.

Also, I felt the crowd to be very biased and didn’t lend an ear to opposing positions. Perhaps next time the cheering and applause could be held to a minimum to encourage others to share alternative opinions. bill smith Sean K I agree, and also point out blatant misinformation. One old timer was against the pipeline because he felt all the jobs would be taken by Kinder Morgan’s army of employees in Oklahoma and Texas, who are waiting to be bused up to do the work.. he claims that this is what Kinder Morgan did in 1953 during the construction of the existing pipeline.

Clearly his memory is going... KM did not buy the pipeline until 2005. I also got a good laugh from the guy who was against the pipeline because it was only to benefit large American Corporations and they are only doing this for profit... this really made me laugh because I saw the same guy earlier with a starbucks coffee !!! Noted also that the parking lot was full.. one needed to go far down the street to park. Isn’t this ironic, all the anti-oil activists clogged the parking lot.

Ziggy Eckardt As usual, Ms Moreau covered most of the event accurately.

As usual, she was very kind to the majority of speakers who where driven by their emotions rather than facts.

My favourite presenter was David Huntley (prof. emeritus, physics). He questioned the goal of the government to reduce anthropogenic carbon emissions 50% by 2030. It seemed few in the room understood what’s involved, even after he explained!

JohnCHunter I hope that SFU professor has better control of her facts when she teaches. To say there “aren’t any” jobs from the Kinder Morgan project is clearly not the truth in my opinion.

I totally support her suggestion that there be penalties for misleading information in ad campaigns as long as it applies to all parties, not just project proponents. I too found the meeting uninformed and most comments were based not on facts or science.

‘I don’t think any of us are doing enough’: MP

Continued from page 4 As for the occupation on Imperial Street, Corrigan said she knows there are people who are frustrated, but the courts have said it’s an illegal occupation.

“I don’t support people breaking the law, so I understand the frustration, but the courts have spoken on that and said ‘you can’t stay there,’” she said.

The retiring MLA also has no plans to visit the site at the edge of her riding.

“It’s a privately owned piece of land.The developer is dealing with it through the courts, and I don’t think it would be helpful in any way for me to go and be a part of that, and I won’t,” she said.

Kennedy Stewart, the NDP MP for the riding, has visited the protest on Imperial but was also reluctant to criticize city council.

“I don’t think what’s happening with people in Burnaby is right, but I can’t say the mayor and council are the cause of this,” he said. “I really can’t because if we had a proper affordable housing strategy, there would be a transition.

People would be able to be transitioned.What you’re seeing in Burnaby right now is the failed federal housing policy.”

He suggested older housing needs to be replaced, but what’s missing is a transition plan for people, adding municipalities can’t do it

without federal and provincial partners.

The MP said he talks to the mayor and council but noted his jurisdiction and job is to go to Ottawa to push the government to invest in more social housing.

But when asked if he’s comfortable with the way the city has handled the issue, Stewart said he’s uncomfortable with the situation “entirely.”

“I don’t think any of us are doing enough,” he said.

“I would say all three levels of government could do much better for these folks on Imperial.”

He also took a soft tone regarding the people occupying the building, arguing the protesters are doing

a service to the entire community by bringing attention to the real problem of affordable housing.

Meanwhile, the Burnaby city councillor who’s looking to take over Corrigan’s MLA seat for the NDP in

I don’t encourage people to break the law

the next provincial election repeated similar arguments made by the mayor and other politicians.

Anne Kang, the NDP candidate for Burnaby-Deer Lake, said it’s not the city’s

jurisdiction to create social housing, adding the different levels of government need to work together to come up with a solution.

She also argued the city can’t stop demolitions, suggesting the older buildings would still be torn down and replaced with new three- or four-storey apartments.

Kang noted an expected influx of people into the region, adding that, with the density, the city is hoping to accommodate everyone who wants to live in the Lower Mainland.

When asked whether she supports the proposed Metrotown plan, which critics have slammed for potentially leading to the demolition

of 3,000 units in the area, Kang said she does, but she added people need to use the public process and public hearings to speak out.

“I don’t encourage people to break the law, to break into buildings, to occupy someone else’s building,” she said. “That’s not what I’m encouraging.The public process is there. I’m really encouraging them to use that process.”

But when also asked whether the city is just rubber stamping rezoning applications, which critics have suggested, Kang said it’s not the case, noting recently a split vote on council over a couple of development projects.

Residents pack meeting

Continued from page 5 professor, Nilima Nigam, claimed Kinder Morgan’s NEB application would have not passed muster if it were an undergrad thesis and called for the company’s claims to face scientific, peer-reviewed scrutiny.

She also recommended the government set rules about misleading information in ad campaigns.

“We shouldn’t allow the pipeline (proponents) to talk about thousands of jobs, because there aren’t any,” she said.

Vijay Tupper, just 11 years old, stepped up to the mike to share his views on

the pipeline. “In case of a spill, (the ground) would be covered in brown goop,” he said.

One North Shore resident asked what the replacement plan is for the current Trans Mountain pipeline, which is 60 years old, and complained that the meeting wasn’t more informative.

To wrap up, Beech thanked the crowd for keeping decorum around an emotional issue. He also mentioned other themes he’s heard through public feedback on the pipeline, including tanker traffic and economic benefits

versus risks, for example.

Beech also said the government is trying to close the gap between protecting the environment and the economy, and that having clean oil, soil and water is an economic driver.

Beech’s town hall is part of a series of public consultation meetings on the pipeline.The federal government is collecting feedback from communities along the proposed route before the final decision, which is due this December.

The three-person ministerial panel is coming to Burnaby from Aug. 9 to 11.

Como Mamas

Where can you see them?

BLUES + ROOTS FESTIVAL Why are they in the news?

A gospel trio by the name of Como Mamas will be hitting the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival stage next month.

The lifelong singers – Ester Mae Smith and sisters Angela Taylor and Della Daniels – grew up singing in church in Como, Mississippi, in front of friends and family.

Music had always been a part of their lives. Taylor and Daniels’ grandfather, Miles Pratcher, was a guitarist and songwriter, and had been recorded by folklorist Alan Lomax in 1959.

In 2005, Como Mamas experienced a similar fate.

They were paid a visit by Daptone Records’ Michael Reilly.

Reilly had embarked on a journey down south with the intention to film a documentary about local musicians. He ultimately found himself sitting at Taylor’s table, where all three singers performed an a cappella rendition of Peace

Take us back to 2005 when Como Mamas were discovered by Michael Reilly. How did you feel at the time?

We did a couple songs and he heard us sing. He came back and he recorded us. It was exciting to me.

I told him the day that he heard us sing, I could see that he was receiving it so well and it was sounding good. It just escalated more than I ever thought it would do. I mean, we’ve been travelling a lot, going to a lot of different places and places that I never thought I’d have the opportunity to go.

of Mind.

“It was that moment that inspired Michael to return to Como with proper recording equipment. … and document some of the most honest, soulful music to ever be tracked to tape,” states a press release.

Their songs were included in the first volume of Como Now, a compilation of traditional and original a cappella gospel from the voices of Panola County’s own families. (Daptone Records had placed a small ad in local papers, inviting singers to come down to the local church to record their songs.)

In 2013, Como Mamas released their debut album, Get an Understanding.

The NOW recently caught up with Smith, the lead singer of the group, to ask questions about her career and the group’s upcoming trip to Burnaby.

and had a chance to go to all these different places, it’s just exciting to me. I really can’t express it.

You and Della still attend the church you grew up in.Why is that important to you?

Going back to my roots, going back to when I was a child, we used to walk to the church and that’s where I first accepted Him as my saviour, and that’s where I got my roots for singing. I got to know and feel that there’s still a God within that place. It’s just like if you leave home and you go visit everybody else, it ain’t nothing like being back at home. It’s just a spirit there. It just makes you feel loved and it makes you feel comfortable. It’s where all my loved ones are. My

The tale of a skunk and a woodpecker on stage now Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

Something smells at the Burnaby Village Museum.

Every Thursday until Aug. 11, families can catch the production of Sweet Stink ofVictory, part of the Burnaby Arts Council’s summer theatre program.

The storyline involves Sophia the skunk and Chuck the woodpecker, who are on a journey to save their forest from a bug infestation.

“Sophia and Chuck have to overcome their own personal issues to save the forest,” said production man-

ager Joel Lagemaat, adding the free, 45-minute show is all about showing kids that you can still be a hero if you stink.

The play is very interactive and is guaranteed to get the youngsters on their feet.

“We want to get the kids involved and get them vested in the story. Basically our goal is to get as much participation from the audience as possible,” he added.

The summer theatre program is made possible through a Canada Summer Jobs grant, which pays the actors for their time.

The group has five weeks

to come up with an original script, where they write, produce and practise it before taking it on the road all across the Lower Mainland.

This year’s actors – Elly Habibullah, Marie-Celeste Kennedy, Chris Blaber, Hilary Leung and Alex Draper – hail from Simon Fraser University’s performing arts department.

The Burnaby Village Museum show has two viewings on Thursdays, one at noon and another at 1:30 p.m. Other stops on the theatre tour include Edmonds Community Centre and Cameron Park.

Communitynow Aboriginal teens hone math, English skills at camp SFU camp aims to empower aboriginal students and break down barriers often faced at the university level Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Twenty-six teens from around B.C. are up on Burnaby Mountain this month sharpening their math and English skills at SFU’s third Academic Summer Camp for Aboriginal Students.

During the free, monthlong camp, the Grade 9 to 11 students, who hail from 17 different nations in Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Kamloops, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Richmond and Bella Bella, take part in campus tours, academic sessions, workshops, field trips, and sports and cultural activities.

“Our main objective is to help aboriginal students feel empowered and to realize that the university is a place for them,” said SFU professor and mathematics associate chair Veselin Jungic, who founded the camp three

years ago.

Jungic said the camp was modelled on a similar initiative at UBC, and the goal is to both accelerate students’ math and English performance and to connect them with the university’s aboriginal community.

Now I know there’s other First Nations students in the community…

“Our hope is to have the balance between the culture and the education,” said Indigenous Student Centre director Marcia Guno, who was on hand last Thursday to help students craft medicine bags.

Burnaby Central student Diana Charlie, who is attending the camp for the

second time, said she was more confident after participating last year.

“When I first came here last year, I was super shy,” she said. “I was so shy, but after this camp, it boosted my confidence.”

Charlie said there are aboriginal students at Central, but the sense of community is stronger at the camp.

“We’re not really connected like this (at Central).

Here we get to know one another and where we’re from and each person’s culture,” she said. “Now I know there’s other First Nations students in the community, in Burnaby but also Surrey, Richmond, New West and North Van.” Krista Wesley, who lives in Burnaby but goes to school in Vancouver, is at the camp for the first time to work on her academic skills, with her sights set on a career in paleontology.

“I’m not really great at Continued on page 17

Students lack prerequisites

Continued from page 16 math, so I want to improve on that,” she said.

Math, according to Jungic, has been a barrier to getting more aboriginal students into SFU’s faculties of science and engineering, where the numbers of aboriginal students have been persistently low.

“Low is an understate-

ment,” Jungic said. “The main reason for that is mathematics. Students are coming out of high school without prerequisites that are needed to get into calculus courses.”

That’s one of the main reasons the SFU professor started the camp.

Anecdotally, he said, his efforts appear to be pay-

“I have a reason to think that we are directing our previous participants towards university studies in general and at least a few of them towards science and applied science in particular,” he said.

GIRO RIDES AGAIN A brief rainstorm

before the start of the ninth Giro di Burnaby race on July 14 didn’t stop crowds from turning out to enjoy the excitement. Clockwise from top right: 17-monthold Sierra and Erin Garcia cheer on the racers; spectators find a bird’s-eye view; racers round a corner on the course; a Rally Cycling rider stops to check up on a teammate following a crash in the final lap of the men’s race; riders give it all they’ve got on the course; the pack takes off along Hastings in the course through the Heights.

For a small business with five employees “the total monthly increment will be about $37 per month,” according to a press release from the province.
