A CLOSER LOOK/HOUSING

They don’t build them like they used to...

Burnaby has come under a lot of criticism during the past couple of years for allowing developers to pull down affordable rental housing to build condos.

Local politicians have defended their actions, saying the city is doing all it can to keep housing affordable and the provincial and federal governments need to step up to help.

But Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation data reveals the city has lagged far behind its neighbours when it comes to creating purpose-built market rental housing.

Critics say that’s creating a gap in the rental market.

PARENTS WORRIED

Will city replace pedestrian bridge?

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Residents on either side of Beaverbrook Drive in Burnaby are worried the city might not replace a pedestrian overpass across the busy roadway.

The bridge was destroyed a month ago by a dump truck after the driver forgot to

lower the box, which then collided with the overpass.

The span connected two residential areas, with a number of townhouse complexes and playgrounds directly on either side.

Without the overpass, some parents with kids at Village Daycare and Lyndhurst Preschool on the south side of Beaverbrook now have to walk 20 minutes to get there

instead of three minutes, according to Village Daycare director Wanda Gray.

“I hate that it’s not there,” she said of the bridge.

Gray said the city contacted her about the overpass a few weeks ago and she got the impression staff hadn’t decided whether or not it would be replaced.

“They haven’t decided whether they’re

going to put it (back up) or not yet because they really didn’t know how many people actually used it,” she said.

With school back in session, there are about 24 kids at the daycare, according to Gray, and about 40 at the preschool.

“For the first two months, we don’t cross Continued on page 8

A CLOSER LOOK

‘I don’t think that’s good community building to lose rental housing’ –Vancouver councillor George Affleck

Burnaby last in secured rental growth

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

As vacancy rates have shrunk and rents soared, Burnaby has lost more purposebuilt market rental housing units over the past six years than any other Metro Vancouver municipality.

Since 2006, Burnaby has seen a net loss of 478 units, while Vancouver has added 2,227, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) data.

That stat, included in a housing presentation at a Vancouver city council meeting this summer, prompted a jab from Coun.

George Affleck on Twitter.

“Wow.Vancouver can’t build all the rental units alone,” he tweeted. “Our neighbours need to step up too.”

The only other Metro municipality besides Burnaby to see a net loss of units was White Rock, which shed 25, and Affleck said some communities aren’t doing enough to make sure rentals are built.

“Each city should be doing whatever they can to certainly not lose rental housing,” he told the NOW. “I just don’t think that’s good community building to lose rental housing.”

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

While the issue is complex, UBC real estate economist Thomas Davidoff said the supply of rental units does impact the price of rent in the region.

“When you build more units you’re absorbing people who are willing to pay a lot to live here,” he said, “and the more you build, the less willing to pay you have to be to cross the threshold into occupancy.”

Vancouver has added to its market rental stock over the past decade by hanging on to existing stock and through policies like Rental 100, which provides incentives for developers to build rentals, according to Davidoff.

“I think Burnaby’s a quite different environment,” he said.

David Goodman, founder of the Goodman Report, a resource on trends in rental apartment sales, agreed.

He has criticized Vancouver for not doing enough to encourage developers to build new purpose-built market rental housing but said that city is “light years” ahead of Burnaby.

“It’s a philosophical and political decision: let the province and the feds look after rental housing; it’s not our job,” Goodman said of Burnaby. “In the process, of course, Burnaby has certainly enriched their coffers with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars from the development community.”

Burnaby ended the 2016 fiscal year with more than $1 billion in reserve funds, and a chunk of that has come from developers who pay for increased density when they build condo towers in place of old low-rise apartment buildings.

The city could afford to forgo some of that money, according to Goodman, and use it to provide incentives to developers to build rentals instead of allowing the city to become “top heavy” with condos, an approach he said impacts the “social fabric” of

the community.

“The irony is, here is sort of an NDP government in Burnaby who are basically saying, ‘Not our problem.You want rentals?

Let the market do it,’” Goodman said.

But the market is unlikely to “do it,” according to Davidoff.

“People really want to build condos in this day of extremely high valuations,” he said.

“Why be a landlord and go through all the hassle, when you can build a building, get paid a fortune and walk away.That’s what I’d do, definitely.The only reason I wouldn’t is if the city was like, ‘Well, we’ll give you an incentive if you keep it rental.’”

INCENTIVES

Unlike Burnaby, neighbouring New Westminster has a policy specifically designed to make building purpose-built market rental housing more attractive to developers.

Its Secured Market Rental Housing Policy, adopted in 2013, grants developers breaks on parking requirements (one parking stall can cost a developer $25,000 to $35,000 to build) and increases in density in return for the developers agreeing to build secured market rental housing units.

The city further streamlines approvals for projects with secured market rental housing and picks up the tab for the legal costs involved in drawing up rental housing agreements – with the city aiming for 60-year agreements, according to acting manager of planning John Stark.

“All those tools are available. I guess it all depends on the policies and priorities of council,” Stark said.

While Burnaby saw a net loss of 478 purpose-built market rental housing units from 2010 to 2016, New Westminster (with one-

third of the population of Burnaby and onefifth of its land base) added 107.

But New West isn’t just interested in building new rentals, according to Stark, since new suites aren’t as affordable as existing units.

“From a city perspective, we see the benefits of having both new market rental and also preserving the existing stock, with regards to families, new immigrants who are looking for housing, trying to create a diverse community,” Stark said.

Toward that end, Stark said New West’s mayor and council has signalled strongly to developers that it is not entertaining development applications that would result in the loss of purpose-built market rental housing – unless the older buildings need to be demolished for structural reasons.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH

Burnaby, meanwhile, has been roundly criticized by housing activists for rezoning that they estimate will ultimately lead to the loss of nearly 700 old purpose-built rental units and the displacement of 1,400 people in the Metrotown area alone.

The city has chosen not to use density bonuses to encourage Metrotown developers to replace those old units with new purpose-built market rental suites as New West has done.

Instead, through its community benefit bonus policy and housing fund, the city awards density increases in exchange for community amenities and affordable or special-needs housing, which developers either build or pay for.

The policy has seen the construction of 19 low-income and special needs units and the collection of $58 million to support non-market housing projects.

The city uses the money to lease its

What it means: Market ownership: houses and condos built by private individuals, developers or for-profit companies. Sold individually and either occupied by owners or rented out as secondary rental.

Secondary rental: houses, condos and secondary suites owned by private individuals or investors and rented out to occupants who are not the owners.

Secured or purpose-built market rental: apartments constructed by private individuals, developers and forprofit companies for the sole purpose of renting. Typically found in multi-family buildings all under a single ownership.

Suites are not strata titled and cannot be sold individually. Rental housing agreements keep them rental for a set period of time. Rented out at market rates.

Non-market, social, subsidized or affordable: typically built by non-profit agencies with funding from government. Some is built directly by government. Historically, most nonmarket housing was constructed through federal/provincial partnerships with non-profit societies. land to such projects at reduced or nominal rates. It currently supports 302 units on seven properties and recently approved about 200 more at two other sites.

City now Rental demolitions accelerating Continued from page 3 rental housing,” Mayor Derek Corrigan told the NOW. “We’ve made a very distinct choice in our municipality.”

This approach hasn’t produced nearly as many nonmarket rental units in Burnaby as the market rentals going up in neighbouring cities.

That would be impossible, according to the mayor, because non-market rentals need ongoing subsidization through partnerships with government and other agencies.

But market rental housing isn’t the city’s responsibility to subsidize, as far as Corrigan is concerned.

“We shouldn’t be taking the money that can go into building the infrastructure and the amenities that are required to serve a growing population and use it to subsidize a private entrepreneur’s development,” he said. “Why should I take a property taxpayer’s money and give it to a developer to plead with him to build

On supply and demand “If there was only one rental unit in Vancouver, think about the person who would rent it. That would be the top guy on the curve, who’s willing to pay a gazillion dollars. But if you go to a million units, the person on the demand curve who’s the millionth-ranked person is going to be the guy that occupies that unit and that person won’t be willing to pay very much at all.”

market housing that he’s going to make a profit off of.”

GROWING GAP

It’s not like there aren’t any purpose-built market rentals going up in Burnaby.

There are currently 1,607 units in the development approval process in Burnaby, 1,200 in the re-zoning application stage and 407 under construction.

But the city has also approved the demolition of 749 such units since 2011 – 167 in 2017 alone.

In comparison, New Westminster has 1,216 secured market rental units in the development approval process –150 approved

and 1,066 with shovels already in the ground. And, since 2011, New West has approved the demolition of only 55 units – zero in 2017.

In its 2016 housing profile, the City of Burnaby argues the 1,558 new strata units built in place of the old purpose-built rental apartments that have been demolished will add about 390 market rental units to Burnaby’s rental stock, as an estimated 25 per cent of the private investors who buy the condos decide to rent them out.

Since the owners of such units may choose to occupy or sell them at any time, however, they are a less se-

cure form of housing than purpose-built rentals.

And Goodman said it would take about 40 to 50 per cent of owners to decide to rent out their condos to plug the gap the city is creating in the rental housing market by not incentivizing developers to build purpose-built units.

“There’s a huge gap that exists today, and in five or 10 years it’s going to be a debacle,” Goodman said.

“It creates a very serious imbalance in a society where only the rich can live and you don’t have accommodation for the workers.

Where are the workers going to live?”

Cities, however, don’t have the power or resources to fix those problems, according to Corrigan.

“We’re limited,” he said, “and I think because we have been a relatively rich city, there’s this expectation that we should pick up for what the federal and provincial government aren’t doing.”

Burnaby fire department sends its sixth deployment to help fight the Elephant Hill wildfire Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

After a two-week break, another group of Burnaby firefighters have dropped everything and headed to the B.C. Interior to help fight forest fires.

Burnaby crews were sent home by the Office of the Fire Commissioner about three weeks ago, after five deployments of 10 firefighters each to Cache Creek, Clinton and Loon Lake, where they helped protect buildings from wildfires.

Last week, however, hot dry weather breathed new life into the Elephant Hill wildfire east of Highway 97 between 70 Mile House and 100 Mile House, according to deputy fire Chief Dave Samson, and the Office of the Fire Commissioner and B.C.Wildfire Service specifically asked for the Burnaby Fire Department to send a crew to take charge of their night operations there.

“We’ve done a good job,” Samson said. “That’s been our role since our initial deployment, so the word is that they feel comfortable knowing that we’re not only on the ground but we’ve had one of our chief officers in command of night operations the entire time.”

In the Interior, Burnaby firefighters have protected

structures, helped stop wildfires from crossing highways and protected wildland firefighters.

“Sadly, we’ve seen structures that have been burnt, but we’ve been successful in protecting all the structures in our deployments so far,” Samson said. “There’s certainly been lots of fire activity. …The fire’s certainly been close to our crews almost the entire time.”

The fire’s certainly been close to our crews almost the entire time.

Burnaby’s sixth deployment – 10 local firefighters who got the call last week – headed out Thursday morning.

“We have just awesome people,” Samson said. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for our people that are willing to drop everything over the summertime and the Labour Day weekend and leave their lives to go up and help out in a provincial state of emergency.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

What difference will more teachers make?

Government spending on buildings is often rated more highly than money spent on people.

After all, the fact that a new school or highway is an investment is the justification for going into long-term debt.

But what happens when you spend money on jobs?

That’s the question many may be asking as Education Minister Rob Fleming went on record

as saying that hiring 3,500 additional teachers across B.C. is going to cost the province $376 million.

Some might say that money coming out of all our pockets would be better spent by taxpayers themselves. Whether you think hiring teachers is money well spent may depend on which political party you belong to, whether or not you have children and what you ex-

pect from the education system.

But we say it’s money well spent.

Of course, we all know how we got here. The B.C. Liberals tore up the teachers’ collective agreement by legislating class size and composition to save money, then fought tooth and nail against the teachers who laboured to get their contract restored.

The former Christy

Clark government lost that battle in the Supreme Court and now Victoria is restoring smaller class sizes, meaning more teachers, and we get to see whether that is money well spent.

We’ll see, for example, if more teachers and smaller classes with more resources for special needs children will improve students’ experiences while making teachers less

stressed.

It’s hard to say whether we’ll see an immediate impact in scholastic achievement.

But the immediate outcome is that schools will have more resources and students will be better served than in recent years.

We also know that the $376 million is, for the most part, going right back into the economy

as young teachers will be paying rent, buying and furnishing condos, and paying back student loans – they might even go out for dinner on occasion.

Sure, we need bridges, roads, schools and hospitals.

But when you hire teachers, you make an immediate impact on both kids and the economy.

MY VIEW AARON WUDRICK

What happened to transparency?

When news broke recently that Rana Sarkar had been appointed as Canada’s consul-general to San Francisco at a salary somewhere north of $220,000 – well above the official pay range, which tops out at $140,000 – the Prime Minister’s principal adviser, Gerald Butts, took to Twitter to defend his friend, noting that Sarkar was a highly qualified candidate and was, in fact, taking a pay cut to help serve his country.

Set aside for the moment the fact that Sarkar happens to be a well-connected Liberal. Set aside, too, the fact that by twice seeking to become an elected Member of Parliament at a salary of about $170,000, Sarkar implicitly seemed prepared to work for that amount.

Supposing Sarkar’s particular skill set is indeed worth making a special exception, the obvious question is why the government didn’t just make that case in advance, rather than waiting until they got caught.

It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that they simply tried to slip it through quietly and hope nobody noticed.

Such wishful thinking on transparency seems to be a troubling pattern for the Justin Trudeau government and is perhaps one of the most surprising – and understated – features of their track record in government so far. It’s fair to say that few expected the Trudeau government to be fiscally conservative – they even ran on “modest” temporary deficits, which have since ballooned into much larger, in-

definite ones. But they also ran on an admirable list of transparency promises, such as updating the Access to Information Act (ATI), forswearing the using of omnibus legislation and ensuring the proactive release of expense claims.

They got off to a good start by publishing ministerial mandate letters, ending excess ATI fees while promising a full review of the outdated legislation and banning partisan government advertising.

But from there it’s been pretty much downhill on the transparency front.

They repealed a law requiring greater financial transparency from unions, and then announced they would not enforce the First Nations Financial Transparency Act – a critical law that ensures First Nations people have the same right as all other Canadians to see how their elected politicians are being compensated and spending their money.

While in opposition, the Liberals (rightly) criticized the Harper government’s use of omnibus bills, arguing they left insufficient time for Parliament to study every measure properly. But once in government, they tabled a 300-page omnibus budget bill, cramming in everything from new infrastructure bank legislation to changes to the Food and Drug Act and the Veterans Affairs Act. They broke their promise to extend the ATI to the Prime Minister’s Office and cabinet ministers, and punted on their promise to Continued on page 7

Trudeau Liberals are failing the transparency test Continued from page 6 review the law until at least 2018.

Then there is the matter of last year’s flurry of dubious expenses, including Environment Minister Catherine McKenna’s $6,600 photography bill, then-Health Minister Jane Philpott’s $3,700 car service and top Trudeau aides Butts’ and Katie Telford’s moving expenses (to their credit, Philpott repaid all and Butts and Telford repaid some of the money).

And while the opposition parties were happy to score political points off these scandalettes, the critical step from a taxpayer standpoint would be to fix the rules to

prevent similar incidents in the future. But one year on, and the government has yet to propose any substantive changes to the rules.

It’s easy to talk a big game about transparency when you’re in opposition.

But the real test comes once you have the power to implement your commitments.

On the transparency front, the Trudeau government’s actions simply do not match their words.

Continued from page 1 a crosswalk because we have to be able to get them to follow the directions and stay in line and stick with a partner,” she said, “so we use the bridge instead to cross over and there’s a park over there that we usually go to.

Without the bridge, we’ll have to stay on our side.”

Without the overpass, catching the bus and walking to nearby Burnaby Mountain secondary will also take a lot longer, according to Gray.

Concerned residents are trying to get the word out about the bridge and the possibility it might not be replaced.

Besides trying to get the issue onto strata council agendas in the neighbourhood, residents have also launched an online petition.

“Since the usage of this overpass has not been monitored and no statistic available, we feel it’s important to have our voice heard and share with the city how important this bridge is to our community,” states the petition at tinyurl.com/Beaver

As of Tuesday, however, it had only received four signatures.

The city, meanwhile, is reviewing all its options when it comes to the bridge, according to Doug Louie, assistant director engineering and transportation services.

An ICBC claim arising from the dump-truck crash will likely be “big,” he said, and his department is still waiting to see how that will work out.

Before making a decision, the city will consid-

er both cost and how much the bridge is used, according to Louie.

“I’ve been getting a lot of calls, and I’ve been telling them there’s no decision made yet,” he said. “I sense that there’s some concerns about the potential of it not being rebuilt, but, again, I can’t say at this point in time. …We need more information before we make that decision.”

If the city does decide to replace the overpass, Louie said construction will likely take at least a year.

Red speaks out about Hearing Loss.

Red Robinson Radio and TV personality

Pickets could increase

“During my career in radio I wore a headset to hear everything that’s happening on air. However, the moment my Audiologist turned on my new hearing aids, I realized just how much I had been missing! Now my whole world has become my sound stage!

Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The union representing more than 600 Pacific Blue Cross workers currently in a labour dispute wants to grow its picket line.

CUPE Local 1816 has filed an application with the Labour Relations Board of British Columbia to allow picketing at 29 travel insurance brokers across B.C., ones the union says are “allies” of the Burnaby-based benefits services provider.

Pacific Blue Cross employees have been on the picket line since July 10.

The company and the union started bargaining a new collective agreement last fall but came to an impasse on wages and retiree benefits.

Beth Miller, the union’s president, said Pacific Blue Cross has acted in bad faith by steering customers to the brokers during the dispute.

“The brokers are taking away our work,” she said. “(Pacific Blue Cross) is trying to keep the business going, and they can’t do it themselves.”

So, forget what you know about hearing aids. Ask about the Oticon OPN (open) with BrainHearing™ technology. They are the first hearing aids proven to be ‘easier’ on the brain.

You’ll enjoy a comfortable listening experience while improving memory and understanding.

They even stream TV, music and phone calls straight to your ears!

Folks, these new hearing aids have helped me regain a realistic listening experience. I encourage you to call your nearest NexGen Hearing clinic for a free hearing test. Let them open up the world of sounds that you may be missing!”

Dispute: Members of CUPE Local 1816, the union representing more than 600 Pacific Blue Cross employees, have been on the picket line since early July. PHOTO NOW FILES

However, Heidi Worthington, Pacific Blue Cross’ senior vice-president said that’s not the case.

“Insurance brokers have worked in unison with Pacific Blue Cross to sell travel insurance for many years,” she said, adding members have always had the option of buying through PBC or through a partner broker.

“After our union began striking on July 10, it was important for us to remind members that our brokers remain another option. ...

While most of our travel

plans can be purchased online, for our senior members over the age of 61, travel brokers provide critical expertise to ensure they get the right coverage for preexisting conditions.”

Worthington added “it came as a disappointment” to learn of CUPE’s application to the labour relations board.

The two sides will be heading to mediation with Vince Ready on Sept. 8 and 9.

News now Burnaby to get opioid addiction treatment clinic The frontline clinic will help connect people to treatment while they are still in the emergency department ggranger@burnabynow.com

Fraser Health has announced it is putting a clinic in Burnaby and five other cities in the region to provide access for first-line treatment for opioid addictions.

The clinics will be open in September and October and provide medications like Suboxone and methadone. Fraser Health said it is also setting up a new program that allows people to

begin taking the medications when visiting some emergency departments.

“People with opioid addiction are able to stabilize and get their lives back on track with medications like Suboxone and methadone, which are key treatments in our battle against the terrible toll overdoses are taking on our communities throughout B.C.,” said Mental Health and Addictions Minister Judy Darcy in a Fraser Health press release. “We have been work-

ing with health authorities and the B.C. Centre on Substance Use to make these important medications more widely available so that people can start getting the help they need.”

Fraser Health said the evidence shows prescribing those medications stabilizes opioid addicts and helps them recover. Plans call for emergency departments to begin treatment with Suboxone in hospital and then refer opioid addicts for treatment.

… we can initiate treatment sooner and help them begin the road to recovery. cal health officer Dr.Victoria Lee in the release. “By opening new clinics and connecting people to treatment while they are still in the emergency department, we can initiate treatment sooner and help them begin the road to recovery.”

“We want to ensure people have access to treatment options quickly and conveniently by expanding access to medications like Suboxone and methadone for people who are ready to address their addiction,” said Fraser Health chief medi-

Hearing Aid Trial Not a weed: Joe Pye weed is not exactly a weed; instead, it’s one of the best perennials for attracting butterflies, hummingbirds and bees, according to gardening columnist Mark Cullen.

Reward yourself, it’s back-to-school time Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

You made it. After a summer of juggling schedules around a variety of kids’ (grandkids’?) activities and, perhaps, your own work schedule, the summer is “over.”The kids have headed back to school. Don’t you think you deserve a reward? I think that you do.

Many wonderful plants come into their own and look best right about now.

It is almost as if your sedum knows that you deserve a break today. It is interesting, I think, that when we are not busy watching and playing with the kids, our attention is diverted to many of the natural features in our landscape. Our powers of observation are sharpened when we have time to ourselves.

This is the perfect time of year to plant my favourite “back to school” plants: 1. Sedum spectabile.

This flowering plant is like an old friend. Plant it in full sunshine and watch it bloom its head off until frost.That’s right, up to eight weeks of blossoms.

Butterflies and bees love it, too.You can cut the long stems of this plant and use them indoors in flower arrangements (they last a long time). Grows to about 60 centimetres high and wide.

Hardy to zone 3 (Winnipeg).

2. New England aster. We have the Canada goose; the Americans get New England aster. Most days I would trade them.

As the name suggests, this is a great garden performer, and it is native. Blooms in blue, white or magenta from about now into late

October. Another butterfly attractant. Can grow to 1.2 metres tall, but most garden cultivars are much shorter, about 40 to 50 cm. Great for cutting to bring indoors.

Hardy to zone 4 (Ottawa/ Montreal).

3. Joe Pye weed (eupatorium). Not exactly a weed (why don’t they call mint ‘mint-weed’ – now there is a weed!), but it is one of the best perennial plants for attracting butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. Pollinators love Joe Pye because he is loaded with pollen. And the tall, flat-faced flowers are a perfect landing pad for butterflies.

Look for rose/purple Baby Joe, which grows to about 70 cm, or the much taller cultivar Little Joe, which matures at 120 cm.

You can cut Joe Pye weed for use indoors. Each year, the clump becomes a little bigger until, after about five years, you will want to dig and divide it. Hardy to zone 4.

4. Ornamental grasses.

There are many ornamental grasses that are just coming into their own this time of year, and they often look their best as we enter the cold, pre-winter period of October-November. Look for maiden grass (Miscanthus), northern sea oats (Chasmanthium), switch grass (Panicum virgatum) and fountain grass (Pennisetum).

All ornamental grasses have their attributes.They have in common a tendency to attract small song birds while in seed, often right through the winter. I cut mine down come spring for this reason.They all need full sun to perform their best. Some are clumping and stay in one place, while

others travel by root or rhizome. Be sure to ask when you are buying ornamental grass; otherwise, you could be importing an aggressive problem for the long term. I prefer the clumpers, by far.

5. Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia). Truth is, this plant has been in bloom for a month or more already.

No matter, it will continue to bloom until the cows come home (or late October, whatever comes first).

The longest possible blossom period is featured with Goldsturm, which is the “gold standard” of rudbeckias. Irish Eyes will make you smile. Little Goldstar is a great fall performer. Hardy to zone 4. Plant and forget.

6. Japanese anemone.

Not to be confused with the early spring anemone, these gorgeous white or blue bloomers are a terrific addition to the late season garden. I have some growing just outside of my front door where they greet me with colour until the hard frost of late October in my zone 5 garden.

They do spread rather aggressively, and each November, before I batten down the hatches for the winter, I remove a huge portion of them, with a sharp spade. It is a wonderful way to release tension and feel good about spending time in front of the TV watching fall football.

The kids are being well looked after by educationprofessionals. Enjoy your just rewards for getting them there in one piece.

“ Why do I hear but not understand? ” If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss. Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. The right hearing aid could help you improve your comprehension.

Roast the chicken at 400F for 15 minutes.Then turn

the oven to 375 F and roast for 15 minutes.

Finish the chicken off for about another 20 to 25 minutes at 350 F. Baste the chicken with the marinade throughout.

This recipe provides you with many options.

You can use the roasted chicken in tacos or wraps.

It’s also nice to use chicken thighs in place of the whole chicken and grill it.

The smoky flavour works extremely well with the spice of the chipotle, or you can serve the whole chicken with rice, beans, avocado and pico de gallo.

Q A

Gifting? - No good deed goes unpunished

Many people consider gifting some of their hard-earned assets to children during their lives. While this is certainly a generous gesture it can result in negative consequences.

STEPHEN M. MILLER, While there is no “gift tax” in Canada, one LAWYER must be mindful of the following issues: • Gifts of capital assets (Real estate, investments, etc) may result in a capital gains tax for yourself; • If assets are given or loaned to a spouse or a related minor child, attribution rules may apply; • If not gifted outright, double tax may apply on accrued capital gains; • You will likely lose the use of the asset; and • You may need the asset for your own living/health care expenses later.

Before giving away your assets we recommend that you consult with your accountant and lawyer.

JENNY WUN - WEST ONE REAL ESTATE MARKETING

T

he real estate market in Greater Vancouver has shown strong activity over the past eight months especially in the pre-construction market.

Sales continue to set records for new housing. The increasing prices in Burnaby, future plans at Lougheed Town Centre and the ease of access to the Evergreen Line commanded a demand along the Burquitlam corridor. North Burnaby and South Burnaby will anticipate its busiest this year with six new releases being Solo District 3, Gilmore Place, Juneau, Sussex, Étoile, and Arcola; that is, if the municipality approves the plans in a timely manner.

The first piece of advice I’ll offer is to avoid trying to time the market. By waiting it out, you miss out on meeting your long-term goals and building that wealthy portfolio. When the market sees a slight slow-down, the media occupies the buyer’s mind that there will be a bubble or decrease in price. Listen very closely. Developers will likely pull pre-construction homes off the market and wait for conditions to improve as oppose to discounting the price of their homes.

There are so many advantages of purchasing a pre-sale home. One benefit is that full financing isn’t required until the building is ready to complete which can be between 18 to 24 months away. It allows one to save up for a larger down payment. The biggest advantage to buying early in the process is the equity you earn over the time span of construction.

One of the challenges that buyers face with a pre-construction purchase is gaining access to claiming one of these homes before they are released to the general public. Homebuyers who lack the connections with developers may lose out on finding a home with the best floor plans and price. That’s why it’s important to work with a Realtor® on our West One Real Estate Team. We build strong relationships and have VIP access with various developers throughout Greater Vancouver. Contact our West One Real Estate Team at 604.961.3559 to skip the line and gain VIP access to your desired pre-sale home.

Q A

How does the home building industry drive our economy?

Not only does BC’s minimum wage increase to $11.35 per hour effective Sept 15th, but also we should anticipate more than 50 buildings come to market this Fall. The process of building communities require JENNY WUN PREC a wide range of professionals such as Associate Broker engineers, planners, lawyers, designers, salespeople, and marketers to skilled trades people such as plumbers, electricians, drywallers, and carpenters. This new construction, renovation, and repair industry paid a combined total of more than $15 billion in wages last year. Real estate being a major employer in our province and an increase in wage will demand thousands more job opportunities thus supporting growth in other industries.

The best case scenario for borrowers facing a foreclosure is: HOWARD LOUIE Manager, Mortgage Broker 1) Help the borrowers obtain refinancing, 2) stop the foreclosure process, and then 3) connect the borrowers with a realtor IF the property needs to be sold.

Knights embrace underdog status for 2017 New challenges beckon for perennial playoff squad

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

For the St.Thomas More Knights varsity football team, every season begins with a mountain to climb.

This year is no different.

On top of having one of the smaller school bodies in B.C. AAA senior football and facing a round table of stiff-armed rivals in the Eastern Conference – which includes the defending Subway Bowl champion Terry Fox Ravens – these Knights are a squad in transition.

With head coach Bernie Kully taking a leave of absence, longtime St.Thomas More coach Steve De Lazzari has taken over the head coaching duties of the senior team aiming to keep a playoff string going, one that dates more than 10 years long.

Last year’s first-round exit, just the second time in eight seasons they failed to get to the quarter-finals, provided the requisite motivation for those returnees, said De Lazzari, who was part of Kully’s staff, working with the linebackers and running backs over the past few years.

“I’m hoping we experience growth everywhere,” said De Lazzari. “Especially in the competitive nature we have in high school football in B.C., I’d like to see us get better every week, just across the board. On defence, on offence, by every position by just working hard week in, week out.”

And that has been part of the program’s trademarks during its lengthy playoff streak, which includes trips to the Subway Bowl semifinals in 2011, 2012 and 2014, and finals in 2007.

Having players who embrace that history and the responsibilities of wearing the Knights’ red and whites has helped keep the

ball moving and the team competitive.

This year’s roster is no different than past seasons, where doubleduty is the usual rule, not the exception. A lot of returning players carry the mantle high, and incoming teenagers pick up roles and responsibilities while adjusting to the higher level.

Senior Tyler Eckert is one veteran De Lazzari is comfortable with in any situation. As a running back, the six-foot-two Eckert was a huge sparkplug, racking up an average of 114 yards per game in 2016.

Injuries limited him to just five contests, but his 402 yards, including eight touchdowns, made him the Knight in the spotlight when in uniform. “(Eckert) is going to be a running back and defensive end for us, and we’re definitely look-

ing to him to provide a spark on both sides of the ball, game in and game out,” remarked the coach.

“He missed a bit of last season with some issues, but certainly when he did play he was a force.”

The quarterback duties fall to Grade 11 Dario Ciccone, who impressed with his work with the junior varsity squad, which went 5-0 during the regular season before flaming out in the first round of the playoffs.

“I think he’s going to surprise some people this year,” said De Lazzari. “He’s a very good distributor of the ball and really knowledgeable, (and) a really intelligent quarterback.”

Among his targets will be Connor Hayek, who averaged 23.39 yards per catch last year,Vasco Repole and Mike Simone. Complementing Eckert at running back are Mateo Carteri, Nathan Na-

cario and Joel Pielak, who also plays a leadership role at inside linebacker.

The line, both offensive and defensive, will set the stage for success on every down.

“Our line is good. One thing with our school being as small as we are, we don’t have a lot of depth on the line. Our starters are good but we need to hope none of them go down because there isn’t a ton of depth or size behind our starting five.”

Linemen Sajjan Shokar, Joshua Marchese and Eckert are a veteran trio who bring experience and leadership qualities. In that way, the Knights new coach feels the team has a strong enough foundation to make a stand against the likes of Fox, Mouat and Lord Tweedsmuir.

“My philosophy is one week, one game at a time,” said De La-

zzari. “We’ll cross each of those bridges as we get there. Obviously every team’s goal is to make the playoffs in the end, but with that singular focus in mind you’ll lose sight of what’s in front of you.

“We’ll focus on each team and prepare for each game week in, week out, and hopefully be an underdog that can do some damage.”

The Knights begin the 2017 season on Saturday, 12:30 p.m. when they host Holy Cross in an exhibition test at STM. It’s a chance to measure their progress against a strong AA program, and get all the butterflies out of the system, the coach noted.

“Every year I’ve been doing this, when you have that first game and you’re finally allowed to do all the things you’ve been preparing for and execute that against the opponent, the kids really get fired up for that.”

As of May 11th, 2017, we have phased all fresh non-Ocean Wise seafood out of our stores and are now 100% Ocean Wise in our fresh seafood category.We’ve also completely removed styrofoam trays from our meat department, replacing them all with recyclable options. It’s just a small part of what we can do to help make sure that our oceans remain healthy for generations to come.
