Company has met 27 of 49 conditions NEB says Trans Mountain can’t start construction on new pipeline until it meets all conditions Tereza Verenca

Trans Mountain has yet to meet all of the conditions set by the National Energy Board (NEB) to start construction next month on the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby. The company has satisfied 27 of the 49 conditions for that portion of the expansion project, according to a letter the NEB sent

to Jim Carr, Canada’s minister of natural resources, to update him on how things are progressing. “Additional compliance requirements must be met for the company to begin construction on any portion of the project,” the letter reads. The Trans Mountain expansion project will have crews twin the Edmonton-toBurnaby pipeline, which will increase capacity from 300,000 barrels of oil per day to

890,000. Part of the project includes expanding the Westridge Marine Terminal. A new dock complex with three berths and a utility dock is in the works. Actual construction, however, isn’t scheduled to start until 2018.Trans Mountain intends to spend the remainder of this year and part of next year preparing the site. Trans Mountain spokesperson Ali Hounsell said the company is “confident” it will

satisfy the NEB’s conditions to start construction in September. “The Trans Mountain expansion project is in an ongoing process to meet the conditions required by the NEB to begin construction.This process will continue in-step with our activities into the future, keeping in mind that the construction of the project is phased and condition compliance will be ongoing as construction is underway,” she Continued on page 4

A CLOSER LOOK

Can the city create a real downtown? Burnaby’s Metrotown downtown dream has many challenges ahead – time will tell if it is doable By Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

It’s a vision 40 years into the future. But that’s all it is. A vision. It’s a different vision than the one conceived 40 years ago. Whether it becomes real or turns into some sort of Back to the Future fictional script won’t be determined for decades. The Metrotown Downtown Plan (MDP) was recently approved by Burnaby city council to replace its 1977 plan for the area. The city’s reset button calls for the creation of something the municipality has never had in its 125-year existence: a downtown. Burnaby has four town centres – Brentwood, Lougheed, HighGate/Edmonds and Metrotown – anchored by malls.What the city doesn’t have is an actual downtown, something many smaller cities surrounding it like New Westminster, Port Moody and North Vancouver do have. Lots of attention has been paid to the plan’s plans for the neighbourhoods surrounding the mall because of the implications for rental stock in the city. But the MDP also envisions the land where the Metropolis at Metrotown mall currently sits being sliced and diced by streets cutting through it, a park plunked in the middle of it and an entertainment/convention centre built. It’s hoped the streets will become vibrant with the hustle and bustle of what a downtown is supposed to have such as lots of retail, commercial office towers, hotels, theatres, galleries, restaurants and bars. “Basically Metrotown is the closest thing Burnaby has to a downtown because it has ‘the highest concentration and intensity of economic activity in the city,’ and it’s where a ‘significant share’ of the city’s future growth and development is expected to be,” says the plan’s report, which notes Burnaby is projected to grow its population by 125,000 to 345,000 by 2041. “To make it an exciting downtown with major, vibrant and active streets generating pedestrian activity day and night need to be created. It needs plazas, public squares, cultural, entertainment and social venues.” The plan proposes the streets have pedestrian, cycling and vehicle connections and links to transit that would replace the current auto-oriented network that has Kingsway as its spine. Easier said than done. “Those notions don’t seem bad ones, but getting there is the challenge,” said Paddy Smith, an urban studies and political science professor at Simon Fraser University. “They’ve got some challenges, and not the least is retrofitting.They’re going to have to bulldoze an awful lot of concrete to cre-

DOWNTOWN DREAM: A map of the downtown area proposed in Burnaby’s Metrotown Downtown Plan. It includes a street network and a city park where the current Metropolis at Metrotown mall sits. GRAPHIC CITY OF BURNABY ate this new vision … Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try it.” Whether city hall can is a different matter. Although they have a new direction for Metrotown, it’s not up to city council members to make it happen. “It’s a vision, we don’t do the creating,” admitted Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the city’s planning committee. Although planners can steer developers in that direction, the land owners also have to buy what the city’s selling. It’s their land. It’s their money. Metropolis at Metrotown is owned by Ivanhoé Cambridge.When contacted by the NOW, the company was vague on whether or not it has the same vision as city planners do. “Ivanhoé Cambridge looks forward to working closely with the City of Burnaby on the development of a long-term vision for the mall as part of a vibrant thriving downtown for Burnaby,” said Charles Fleck, acting general manager of Metropolis at Metrotown, in an email. “It is business as usual for Metropolis at Metrotown; no significant changes will be happening anytime soon. “As a long-term member of the Burnaby community, we see many opportunities for the business environment to continue to thrive and prosper as an integral part of Burnaby’s downtown.”

The response gives Jordan some hope, especially since Ivanhoé Cambridge announced big development plans for its Oakridge property in Vancouver, although it’s run into a huge snag after an aquifer was discovered. “Turning an ugly, three-storey parking lot into liveable, walkable community where people shop, work and be close to transit,” said Jordan. “That’s the long-term vision. Whether or not the owners of Metrotown (Ivanhoé Cambridge) say they want to go in that direction, they also own Oakridge which is going in that direction, so maybe one thing at a time. But they didn’t come forward and say ‘we hate this plan and we want to keep Metrotown the same forever.’” Making it happen, though, could take forever, and the area’s landscape, so to speak, can change over time. Jordan said when the first plan was done, Burnaby’s visionaries in 1977 did not foresee a rapid transit line, even though the corridor was there. “I remember when SkyTrain came in, it was ‘oh, there’s going to be massive redevelopment around SkyTrain and stuff.’Well, it’s taken 30 years,” Jordan said. “It’s taken a very, very long time for that to come to fruition. So even though some of those things were protected back then, it didn’t necessarily come forward in the time frame people were expecting.”

Some other highlights of the downtown part of the city’s plan: • Redevelop the Sears, Old Orchard and Plaza 5000 mall sites to be consistent with the downtown; • Kingsborough Street would be extended to bisect the Metropolis at Metrotown site east and west. It would have a commercial focus with active retail storefronts, cafés, wide sidewalks and street furniture; • Proposal for a “significant open space” dedicated for a downtown park; • Vibrant streetscapes that entice people to linger, along with a variety of public open spaces acting as outdoor “living rooms;” • Give Kingsway a more urban character and form with street furniture, wider sidewalks, rain gardens, trees, pedestrian and cycling amenities.

Smith wonders if Burnaby doesn’t have Surrey envy. In the last decade, that city has built a new city hall and main library to go along with SFU’s Surrey campus in an effort to turn Whalley into a downtown. It’s an initiative that’s about two decades old, but is shy of reaching the criteria for a desired downtown described in the MDP. “They have cleaned up a little corner of it, (but) you don’t need to go very far out there, and you’re in where you were in the 1980s,” said Smith of the Surrey’s “downtown.” That’s why he wonders if Burnaby is too late to the downtown party. Smith took note of the plan quoting urban theorist Jane Jacobs, who espoused building cities for people, not cars. “It’s far more complicated and expensive to retrofit than it is to do new construction, so if they want to go the Jane Jacobs model, which they seem to be enamoured with at the moment, they would have been doing this in the ’70s and early ’80s, and put in place something that might have worked better,” said Smith. Only Burnaby’s Michael J. Fox and a DeLorean outfitted with a flux capacitor could pull something like that off.

Downtown areas usually emerge organically ANALYSIS

By Grant Granger

There are a lot of things Burnaby has. An outstanding parks system. Check. SkyTrain stations galore. Check. A city hall with a bil-

lion dollar reserve. Check. A downtown. Nope. Burnaby is desperately seeking a downtown. It hasn’t had one since Burnaby was born 125 years ago. City council and its planning department minions

want to change that. Good luck. They’ve come up with a vision to create one in the next 40 years at Metrotown, something that’s been lost in all the demoviction fear created by the new plan for

the area. It would be fantastic if Burnaby can pull it off, but it won’t be easy. Downtowns usually emerge organically.They are ripe with history that evolves naturally.The Low-

er Mainland is full of them. Besides the biggie in Vancouver there are downtowns in New Westminster, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Langley, White Rock, North Vancouver and Abbotsford, all with

varying degrees of success. They were homegrown, sprouting with the community. Some of them are cute, some of them lively, and some of them have seen Continued on page 4

City now NEB hearing on pipeline route set to begin this fall Continued from page 1 said in an emailed statement to the NOW. The $7.4-billion pipeline project, which has a total of 157 conditions attached to it, received federal approval in 2016, and the former ruling B.C. Liberals OK’d it earlier this year. However, Premier John Horgan and

B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver are opposed to the expansion and have said they’ll work to stop it. On Aug. 22, the province officially applied for intervener status for court challenges against the expansion.The Federal Court of Canada has combined 19 lawsuits from First Nations,

local governments and environmental organizations into one.Those suits want the court to overturn the NEB’s review process into the project. In an interview with The Canadian Press, Attorney General David Eby said the province is still developing the arguments it will bring

to the court if it attains intervener status. Meanwhile, the NEB’s letter to the federal government notes 452 statements of opposition have been filed, including five from Indigenous groups and 121 from landowners. “The panel is currently reviewing these and will de-

termine the detailed route hearing requirements in the near future. Hearing processes are expected to begin in the fall and last several months,” states the letter. An emergency response exercise is planned for late September, according to the board. “This exercise will in-

clude deployment of personnel and first responders with equipment to the exercise site, and will test the company’s ability to respond to an emergency and work effectively with first responders. NEB staff will participate in the evaluation of the exercise.”

Burnaby’s downtown vision can’t happen without help

Continued from page 3 better days. (New West, for example, is better than it was, but not as good as it used to be. It has recovered very nicely from the drug days of the ’90s but is still a long way from its halcyon Golden Mile days of yore.) They weren’t force fed, though. But that’s what Burnaby intends to do. Burnaby’s history is of a place for those who work in Vancouver to sleep. It started with small pockets but has become a super-sized suburb on steroids. It has a great divide. It

doesn’t have a river running through it, but it does have a railway that cuts it in half. Fifty-plus years ago a freeway made it even more geographically divisive. During the 1900s, no area really emerged as a downtown. Came the ’50s and ’60s, the city grew subdivisions like rabbits on fertility pills. Malls like Middlegate, Brentwood and Lougheed sprouted to serve suburbanites. South Burnaby didn’t have a mall, but it did have the scourge of suburban retail called Kingsway. It was anchored by

Simpsons-Sears, a building which is still there as an outdoor anomaly to the rest of the current megamall’s facades. But now the city’s visionaries, commissioned by city council, have a plan for a downtown. It involves chopping up the Metropolis at Metrotown mall to resemble a cutting board used by someone selling sets of knives at the PNE, and the building of office towers, streets, stores and more as if was an advanced LEGO kit. Burnaby isn’t alone in its downtown desire. For the

last two decades, Surrey has been trying to develop a downtown at the end of the Expo Line in the Whalley area. Surrey has built a new library and city hall there. SFU put a campus there, too. But it’s in Whalley. And despite the dressing up, it’s still Whalley. Burnaby can’t make it happen without help.That help, however, may have to be dragged kicking and screaming to the negotiating table. The city can dream about gleaming office towers teaming with commercial

business along with streets filled with shoppers, pedestrians, cyclists, lively cafés, restaurants, bars and nightclubs, and fabulous facilities like hotels, theatres and a convention centre. But to make those dreams come true, the city needs cooperation from land owners and developers.They’re the ones with the money and wherewithal to do accomplish what Burnaby wants.That means there will be some hard bargaining ahead, and that means sometimes the city won’t be able to get its way.

Creating a downtown is a tall task. SFU prof Paddy Smith said it’s something the city should have been looking to do 40 years ago with its original Metrotown plan. And even then it may have been too late to pull it off. It’s more like something that should have started a century and a quarter ago. The vision is a pretty picture, though, and here’s hoping such a cynical outlook is wrong and a downtown will eventually emerge as a city asset. But don’t bank on it.

City now Getting rid of tolls will be good for city: councillor Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Doing away with tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges is welcome news for Burnaby, according to one city councillor. Coun. Colleen Jordan expressed her support for the announcement, made by the B.C. NDP last week, and said it will lessen traffic in Burnaby. “Ever since everyone’s been using the Pattullo Bridge and CanadaWay to escape the tolls, it’s put a huge increase in traffic going through our city. If they go back on the freeway, that’s a good thing for us,” she told the NOW. Tolls will be eliminated as of Friday, Sept. 1. Families who regularly cross the Fraser River will save an average of $1,500 a year, according to a government press release, while commercial drivers will save $4,500. As annual operating costs

Opinion now OUR VIEW

This freebie has to lead to a better plan

The dividing line of support for taking tolls off bridges can be seen pretty clearly in the Lower Mainland.Those who live on the south side of the river and have to commute to the north side are almost universally for taking off the tolls.Those on the north side who don’t have to use the bridges are definitely leaning to the “let them pay” side.To say that this self-interest didn’t have an

impact on voting trends in the provincial election is naive at best.The removal of tolls means many families south of the Fraser will save an average of $1,500 a year and commercial drivers will save $4,500. But there’s also the commuters on the north side who hope that south of the river commuters will now fan out and reduce congestion on some routes on the north side.

Take city councillor Colleen Jordan’s assertion that it will lessen traffic in Burnaby because of the potential rerouting. Of course, this is all guesswork.When the tolls come off, it may also encourage many more drivers to take to the roadways, and that could actually create more congestion. No matter how you cut it, though, it will not discourage driving. And that’s

one of the main reasons B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver came out solidly against the plan. He also rightly says that the B.C. NDP may be making things more affordable for the folks south of the river in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, but the infrastructure costs still need to be paid, and those costs will end up being redistributed to all B.C. taxpayers.

To someone who has to use a ferry to make a living, this has to sting. But who can blame the NDP for starting their reign with a giveaway. It’s not like the B.C. Liberals didn’t do the same. And it was the Liberals who basically spent 16 years bungling TransLink and playing politics with the Mayors’ Council. But now the clock is running on the NDP.The

province has established a committee that is studying how some form of mobility pricing could be implemented. Let’s hope that the committee isn’t as cravenly obvious with political pandering. If it makes decisions based on riding pleasing as opposed to rational policies, then we predict another ugly commute no matter how “free” it is.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Here’s why the NDP is in power

There were two reminders on display last week of why the NDP is in power in this province and the B.C. Liberals are not. First came the official confirmation by the auditor-general that the last fiscal year ran up a huge $2.7-billion surplus.That’s right: “billion.”Then came the NDP government making good on a key – perhaps “the” key – election promise by scrapping the tolls on two MetroVancouver bridges by the end of this month. Both of these developments provide stark evidence of how the B.C. Liberals lost their touch after 16 years in power and of how the NDP finally hit on a winning formula.What links both of these issues is “affordability,” which was the centerpiece theme of the NDP election platform. Let’s examine that huge surplus first.The B.C. Liberals were more than happy to simply allow the $2.7 billion to be applied to the province’s direct debt. Rather than provide help for those struggling to keep pace with the high costs associated with living in MetroVancouver, the B.C. Liberals repeated their mantra that “if the economy grows all will be well” and that creating a job was the endall and be-all of a government’s responsibilities. But the economy is growing faster than anywhere in Canada, and this province has the lowest unemployment rate in the country. And yet the affordability situation remains profound: there is a rental crisis, a home ownership crisis, a mass of people living well below the pov-

erty line, overcrowded transit, high tuition fees, an underfunded education system … the list goes on.Yet none of that massive $2.7 billion surplus was spent on trying to solve some of those problems. Instead it was applied to paying down a particular portion of the province’s debt (which, overall, continues to climb). Which brings us to those bridge tolls.The NDP clearly hit a home run when, in the middle of the campaign, it promised to get rid of them.This was the equivalent of offering a $1,500 cheque to the thousands of people who cross the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges twice a day in their commute.This promise is clearly why a majority of eastern suburban ridings – where those bridge commuters live – went the NDP’s way, and not the way of the B.C. Liberals, who lost perhaps a half dozen ridings on this issue alone. From a strictly public policy approach, criticism can be levelled at the tolling decision (among other things it will transfer about $4 billion to the provincial debt). But from a purely political approach, it’s a winning one. The NDP has grasped that people want something back from government and worries about the provincial debt now take a distant back seat to worries about their own personal debt.That’s why they finally made it into government. And if the B.C. Liberals stick to their old tone-deaf ways, the NDP will be there for a while yet. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Snow removal a fire hazard Amid weeks of complaints about snow removal in Burnaby, the city’s own firefighters had trouble getting to a Carrigan Court apartment fire because of the white stuff.The blaze started in an electrical outlet and caused about $20,000 damage, but the apartment’s occupant got out as soon as she smelled smoke, and the building’s other residents were evacuated. Good thing. “Road conditions were a bit of a problem,” Burnaby fire investigator Al Neratini said. “Where we would like to have been parked, we couldn’t park because of snow buildup.”

Opinionnow Time to take health care out of private hands Dear Editor: The Pacific Blue Cross dispute has to end. I place the blame entirely on “management” in this issue, aided and abetted by the union members serving as directors on the PBC board of directors. We need to put a stop to corporations attempting to reduce salaries and benefits to the lowest common denominator. As a benefits service provider, Pacific Blue Cross should be leading the way and demonstrate to its customers the beneficial effects on employees and corporate bottom lines of a full and extensive benefit plan. Unfortunately, the user of those benefit plans – you and I – have no say in this dispute whatsoever. Obviously, the management of Pacific Blue Cross could care less about those dependent on its service. It is also important to remember that we are merely captive users and not the real customers of this service. The Pacific Blue Cross customer is really the corporations who aggregate their workers on behalf of PBC. The employer specifies the level of benefit coverage. For many years, the trend among government agencies and companies, big and small, has seen a steady reduction in coverage at an ever-increasing price to us – the real dependent for these services. The time has come to cut entities like PBC and other private health benefit providers out of the picture. Our provincial and federal governments must step up to the plate and rationalize our

City now It’s not a lockout: company Pacific Blue Cross claims it hasn’t locked out its striking members, who have been on the picket line since early July. Anne Williams, the company’s communications manager, says calling the job action a lockout “is not the case.” Rather, CUPE Local 1816 is out on a legal strike. Employees have been without a contract since last year. Negotiations started last fall but have broken off. On May 2, the union

started rotating departments on the picket line. On June 30, Pacific Blue Cross advised the local that further job action would result in employees not being allowed to return to work. “On Monday, (July 10), we opened the doors, we sent an email to staff (saying) we want you to come back.They chose to stay out and start striking,” said Williams. “They’ve never been back since, and as (is) typical in any strike situation,

that’s when we’ve blocked access until the negotiations resume and they indicate they want to come back.” Union president Beth Miller maintains it’s a lockout. “If we’re not locked out, why is it that their access card doesn’t work?” she said. The two parties will be meeting with mediator Vince Ready on Sept. 8 and 9. – TerezaVerenca

SPECIAL RETIREES' HEARING AID! A remarkable new hearing aid is now available and getting rave reviews from retirees! It is easy to use, looks great in the ear, and marks a MAJOR advancement in hearing technology!

At last. The hearing aid that thousands have wanted is now available. The latest digital hearing aid technology solves the biggest challenge for hearing aid wearers–hearing well in noisy environments. Nobody will notice it because of its minute size, fitting snugly and comfortably just behind your ear. Everything works automatically. There are no controls to worry about and adjustments are easy to make–even from your smart phone. So you can get back to enjoying your relationships, rather than thinking about your hearing. Because these new hearing aids collect and digitally processes natural, 360 degree sound thousands of times per second, they have been shown to

reduce the strain that effortful-listening puts on the brain and even to improve recall from conversations in noisy listening environments. In fact, these hearing aids improve speech understanding in background noise 30% better than even the previous top-of-the-line hearing aids. Hearing professionals are celebrating the biggest advancement in 30 years of fitting hearing aids and patients credit it with providing a substantial improvement in their ability to communicate in large groups and noisy social settings. A hearing test takes less than 60 minutes, you don’t need a doctor’s referral, and there’s no cost or obligation whatsoever. Call now to try these hearing aids for yourself!

Safety first: Traffic piles up on Highway 1 on Monday afternoon as emergency crews work to contain a diesel spill.

PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Diesel spill clogs highway traffic The smell of diesel and the frustration of drivers was thick on Highway 1 just inside Burnaby’s eastern border Monday. A diesel spill from a dump truck on the Burnaby side of the North Road overpass at about noon quickly backed up traffic to the Port Mann Bridge. The Burnaby Fire Department was called to the scene at 11:54 a.m. and arrived to find a dump truck with a trailer leaking fuel onto the highway in the westbound lanes. Since the incident was right on the Burnaby/Coquitlam border, crews from both municipalities responded, cordoning off the area. “Safety is our biggest con-

cern, so Highway 1 was shut down initially westbound, with just one lane getting through,” deputy fire Chief Dave Samson said. “That’s obviously to protect anyone driving through, to make sure some cigarette doesn’t go flying out a window of a car or they’re getting it all on their tires.” Less than 100 litres of diesel was spilled, according to Samson, who said a mechanical issue caused one of the truck’s saddle tanks to leak. Firefighters worked to contain the fuel and make sure it didn’t run into environmentally sensitive areas, and Main Road Contracting was on hand to absorb the spill with sand. – Cornelia Naylor

City now A cat tale with a happy ending Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Unless the tree’s on fire, you won’t likely have much luck getting the fire department to race to a tree with a cat stuck in it. That’s what resident Barbara Calder found out last week after she came across a distressed kitty stuck about 25 feet up a cedar tree just inside Robert Burnaby Park. “I called the SPCA and Burnaby Fire Department, both of which were uninterested in helping,” Calder told the NOW. “The nonemergency Burnaby Fire Department line told me, ‘Just leave it up there for a few days; they either come down or they fall out.’” The SPCA, meanwhile, told her to put a light coloured sheet on the ground under the tree. “Apparently it gives them some perspective,” Calder said. “It shows them where the ground is or something.” The cat looked at the sheet and was clearly interested in returning to Earth, according to Calder, but the

distance was just too great, she said. Finally she called the city. Six city workers and three trucks, including a bucket truck, responded. “They were in and out in no time at all,” Calder said. “They were very compassionate.The one guy came up and said, ‘Don’t worry. Kitty’s going to be fine.’” Strategically, the worker in the bucket approached the cat from above. “If you spook them, they’ll just go higher up the

tree,” Calder said. On the ground, as the frantic feline was being transferred from a bag to a box, it took several swipes at forestry department arborist GraemeWaine. “The cat was just – holy smokes – you know those old cartoons with the Tasmanian Devil? That’s what it was like,” Calder said. The cat, a ginger, was taken to the SPCA where it was examined and found to be healthy. It has since been adopted

out since no owner came to claim it. While not everyone shared her sense of urgency about the kitty, Calder was impressed by the city workers’ response. “My sister said, ‘Oh, for Pete’s sake, Barbara! It’s just a cat,’ but they handled it so professionally and compassionately,” Calder said. “There are plenty of upsetting things going on in the world, and it’s reassuring that people cared about this cat.”

Indigenous art collective at city gallery A new exhibition at Burnaby Art Gallery is exploring contemporary B.C. Indigenous art. Tania Willard: dissimulation, a multidisciplinary exhibition, is set to run at the gallery from Sept. 15 to Nov. 5. An opening reception and artist talk is set for Thursday, Sept. 14. The exhibition features the work of B.C.-based artist and curator Tania Willard, of the Secwépemc Nation, with collaborators Gabrielle Hill and Peter Morin. The three artists make up the New B.C. Indian Art and Welfare Society Collective, who often create work at Willard’s BUSH Gallery in Secwépemculecw. Willard will be on hand on opening night for a talk from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Everyone is invited to drop in and meet the artist to find out more about her collaborative practice. “The BUSH Gallery rezidency was designed and programmed in order to activate concepts and ideas of contemporary Indigenous art, to further explore the parameters of BUSH Gallery and to build on past artist rez-idencies,”Willard says in a press release. “A goal of the BUSH Gallery is to articulate Indigenous creative land practices, which are born out of a lived connection to the land. In the province of British Columbia, this lived connection to the land means a century

Check out new show The Burnaby Art Gallery has a number of special events planned in connection with the new exhibition Tania Willard: dissimulation. A few highlights: Opening night: Thursday, Sept. 14. Artist talk with Tania Willard, 6 to 7 p.m. Exhibition opening reception, 7 to 9 p.m. Free, all welcome. In the BAG Family Sundays: Sept. 17 and Oct. 15, 1 to 4 p.m. Drop-in events, all ages. Visit the exhibition and then get into the studio to make your own art.

CONFRONTING HISTORY: A detail from Sovereign Sun, a photogram by Tania Willard, Peter Morin and Jeneen Frei Njootli. Work by Willard and her collaborators in the New B.C. Indian Art and Welfare Society collective is on display at the Burnaby Art Gallery from Sept. 15 to Nov. 5, with an opening reception on Sept. 14. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED and a half of land rights and legal struggles begun by our ancestors that continue to this day.” Jennifer Cane, assistant curator at the Burnaby Art Gallery, notes that the title of the exhibition, dissimulation, “implies a concealment of thought, disguise of one’s character or perhaps a hidden objective.” “Dissimulation, for the purposes of this exhibition, is also akin to trickery and

mimesis, the transformation of one material to another, the relationship between the traditional and contemporary, and between Indigenous and other cultures.” Reclamation of land, language and culture forms the theme of the show, with images that challenge a history of colonialism and (mis) representation. It features artwork in a variety of mediums: photograms, woodcuts, digital prints, silk-

screens, video and textile work. An exhibition catalogue features an introduction by Cane and entries from Willard and Tara Hogue – curator, writer and Vancouver Art Gallery’s new senior curatorial fellow focusing on Indigenous art. “(Willard) interrupts the colonial desire to consume images of otherness and claims these images for herself and for her communi-

ty,” Hogue writes. “Confronting history means confronting a history of representation.” The exhibition catalogue will be available for purchase for $15, starting Sept. 14. Dissimulation will be on display at the Burnaby Art Gallery until Nov. 5.The gallery is at 6344 Deer Lake Ave. See www.burnabyart gallery.ca for all the details.

Tea and tour: For 55plus, $7.50. Tuesday, Sept. 19 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Join gallery staff for a guided tour and then enjoy tea and treats in the Fireside Room. Call 604-297-4422 to register. Culture Days: On Sunday, Oct. 1, you can take in a couple of Culture Days activities as part of the exhibition. Join in a Deer Lake Plant Walk with Cease Wyss, 10 to 11:30 a.m., or take part in a Sun Printing workshop from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. Registration recommended, call 604-297-4422.

Art explores city by the sea Port Town set to open at Deer Lake Gallery on Sept. 9 A solo exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery exploring the world where city meets waterway is set to open soon. Port Town, by Lori Sokoluk, is running at the Burnaby Arts Council’s gallery from Sept. 9 to 30. An opening reception is set for Saturday, Sept. 9 at noon. Sokoluk’s mixed-media work “evokes the flux and mystery that shroud the territorial edge where city meets waterway,” a release from the gallery notes. “Ports are places of mystery, beginnings and endings,” the release says. “In these pieces, soft elements – organic lines, curving shapes, and drips of rain – are juxtaposed with me-

chanical, angular shapes and sharp-edged cutouts or photo transfers.Veils of paint obscure definition, mimicking the action of clouds and fog on our perception of the port.” Sokoluk is a Vancouver-based artist who works from her studio, Redsokil Arts. She has studied privately and at the School of Visual Arts in NewYork City, and her work is included in private and institutional collections in Canada, the U.S., Japan, Pakistan, India and the United Kingdom. Sokoluk will be on hand at the gallery for an artist demonstration and talk on Saturday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m. Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584

Deer Lake Ave. and is open from Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. Admission and parking are free. Two exhibitions are currently underway at the gallery: Silent Disparities, featuring the work of Sara Khan and Tom Douglas, which runs until Sept. 2; and Jazz in Wood, by Peter Lattey, an outdoor exhibition that will run in the gallery’s garden until Nov. 10.

Family ﬂicks for the ﬁnal days of summer

When it comes to the perfect office space, BOSS Business Centres offers more than just a beautiful building in a central location. That is because BOSS – which stands for Business Office Services and Solutions – also gives clients access to a wide range of services and amenities, such as shared reception and administrative support, boardrooms, a fully equipped gym, rooftop patio, and more, according to BOSS owner Julian Clark. Office space alternatives: Finding a solution you can be proud to call your own Growing small businesses: Five ways BOSS Business Centres can help Be a boss: Knowing when to lease and when to go month-to-month “What we like to make sure our service and our space are things Clients can be proud to call their own,” he says. BOSS Business Centres primarily has five types of clients, according to Julian, such as the professional, the entrepreneur, the counsellor, the satellite office and the non-profit or government agency. Each of these clients has different needs – the counsellor or therapist needs comfortable furniture to meet with clients, dimmed lighting and a quiet and private environment, whereas the professional needs the full range of highend office support and services to run their business. “We’re an extension of their business, whether we’re answering their calls for them, whether we’re qualifying those calls, whether we’re handling their couriers, whether we’re greeting their guests, whether they’ve rented space exclusively and want different kinds of furniture, we do all that for them,” Julian

says. BOSS Business Centres also provides clients with a welcoming ambiance, according to Julian. Creating a sense of community is important. BOSS hosts muffin days in the common area, so clients can grab a quick bite together, and wine and cheese nights in December. “We really try to foster a friendly environment enabling meaningful connections between our clients,” Julian says. “We like to say we’re offering more than the four walls.” But in the end, it all comes down to offering clients an ideal space in an ideal location, easily accessible by SkyTrain, bus, and the highway. BOSS’s first business centre is on the fifth floor of a Class A building attached to Production Way SkyTrain station. That centre includes 34 offices, six of which can be used hourly, while the others are sublet month-to-month. And BOSS also has a technology business centre with nine offices on the sixth floor. BOSS Business Centres is located at 3292 Production Way in Burnaby. For more information on the office space and services they provide, contact them by email or check out their website at bossbusinesscentres.com.

is 55% of the total and a marked recovery from the previous week. Ten of the 25 detached homes sold went for over asking, versus 65 of the 111 attached transactions.

After a very slow week following the BC Day long weekend, home sales in the Burnaby and Tri-Cities region perked up considerably the week of August 14-20.

The median sale price of attached homes sold August 14-20 was $551,000, also an improvement from the previous week. The lowest attached median sale price was $420,750 in Port Coquitlam, rising to $580K in Burnaby South.

Detached sales rose to a still-modest 25 transactions across the area, while attached homes (condos, townhouses, rowhomes and duplexes) increased to a much-healthier 111 sales the same week. The biggest improvement – and a possible sign that the market is starting to recover from the summer doldrums – was in the number of homes sold over asking price. Of the 136 home sales that week (registered as of August 29), 75 went for over their list price, which

Single-family homes saw a slightly lower median sale price compared with the previous week, at $1.2 million across the region. This ranges from $967,500 in Port Coquitlam to a high of $2,270,000, which was the middle of three detached home sales in Burnaby South. The priciest home sale in the region was a seven-bedroom luxury family home in the Deer Lake neighbourhood of Burnaby South, which sold for

$3,980,000, $400K under asking price, after only six days on the market. Burnaby South was the also location of the most expensive attached home sale of August 14-20. This was a brand-new, contemporary half-duplex with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, which sold for $1.71 million, $20K over the list price, after exactly a week listed. The highest-priced condo to sell the same week was a stunning, 37th-floor, three-bedroom penthouse in North Coquitlam. This high-end home with amazing views sold for $1,178,000, which was $21,000 under the asking price, after 26 days on the market. The number of homes currently listed for sale dipped slightly compared with the previous week – almost entirely driven by attached homes being sold off faster than new listings coming in, with detached listings remaining steady.

Burnaby has many Mediterranean eateries to choose from. However, one stands out from the crowd. When locals want to dine at a welcoming, family-run restaurant showcased by mouthwatering cuisine, they head to Little Billy’s Steakhouse.

If you haven’t tried Vassilis… then you haven’t tried Greek food!

For more than four decades, the unassuming front opens onto a modern-style steakhouse – with the crisp white linen, comfortable new seating and rich, warm wood paneling. “We have third generations that are now coming with their young families,” says proud owner/chef Harry Paskalidis. Its resounding success and longevity is a testament to great service, consistently delicious dishes and friendly atmosphere.
