Protesters hold ‘die-in’ at office

Dramatic demonstration included wounded and dead being carried off on stretchers by hazmat team

It was like a scene out of Law and Order. Some 15 bodies lay near the Production Way SkyTrain station on Monday morning. Seven people in hazmat suits arrived at the scene, checking each individual for a

pulse. They carried stretchers and hauled the bodies off one by one. The demonstration, dubbed a “diein,” was organized by Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion (BROKE) outside Public Safety Canada’s regional office, at 3292 Production Way. It started with an air siren, indicating that Kinder Morgan’s tank farm had exploded. Several people subsequently

ter in place,” said Ruth Walmsley with BROKE. “There could be plumes of highly toxic smoke, and there’s only two roads coming down from Simon Fraser, and they intersect very close to the tank farm. They would basically be trapped up there – thousands of people – and that’s unacceptable.” Continued on page 4

“died” on the spot. The goal was to get the attention of Ralph Goodale, Canada’s public safety minister, and let him know the risks of expanding the tank farm are too great, according to one organizer. “This is a densely populated area; there are thousands of people living on Burnaby Mountain. Basically, the only emergency response plan is for them to shel-

Warm coats for kids who need them most By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The Rotary Club of Burnaby Metrotown is in desperate need of gently used coats for teenagers and young adults. The club coordinates a Coats for Kids drive every year, handing out more than 1,000 winter jackets to children less fortunate at the elementary and high school levels. “Our biggest need that we can’t meet right now is for when we go to the high schools,” said retired Burnaby principal and organizer Ernie Kashima. “I had to cancel Tuesday’s trip (to Byrne Creek Community School) because I don’t have coats for their kids.” The campaign has a number of locations that collect the jackets, including libraries, the Neighbourhood Houses, MLA offices and schools. “For every 10 garbage bags of coats we collect, there’s actually only about two bags’ worth that we can put back into circulation,” said Kashima, adding close to 1,500 coats were distributed in 2016. He said that’s because coats are often a bit more worn than volunteers like, and that each coat needs to have a hood, be somewhat waterproof and have good working zippers. (All second-hand coats are dry-cleaned before they’re handed out.) The Rotary Club of Burnaby Metrotown also raises money to buy new jackets. The club gets a discounted rate at suppliers like Army & Navy. Kashima drops off the jackets himself, in a truck that has been donated by Burnaby-based Zeemac, a company that specializes in fleet services. Kids get to go in the truck, peruse through the hangers and pick out their favourite.

RALLYING FOR THE KIDS: Ernie Kashima, left, is the organizer of this year’s Rotary coat drive. The campaign provides a winter jacket for elementary and high

“It’s fantastic,” he said of watching the kids’ reaction. “They’re so thrilled. They walk off, most of them, with a brand new or a like-new, warm winter jacket with a huge smile on their face, and they’re sort of hugging their jacket as they walk off. They don’t want to take it off.”

City resident ﬁghts to save Edmonds lot 3.7-acre lot in Edmonds is adjacent to Byrne Creek Ravine Park and shelters local wildlife

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby woman wants the city to reconsider selling a piece of land in Edmonds to developers – a move she calls “a bit of a

cash grab” and a threat to wildlife. Wendy Taylor has launched a petition to stop the sale of 6438 Byrnepark Dr., a 3.7-acre lot that is zoned medium density, according to the

1994 Edmonds town centre plan. The City of Burnaby launched a request for offers (RFO) on Sept. 27 with an application deadline of Nov. 28. The site is adjacent to Byrne Creek Ravine Park.

The city owns two other vacant lots in that area: 6488 Byrne Park Dr. and 7388 Southwynde Ave., both of which are also zoned medium density. Should development occur, Taylor is worried it

will have an impact on local wildlife, including barred owls, coyotes, Cooper’s hawks and squirrels. “This is their home,” she told the NOW. “I think so many multistorey developments are

happening in Burnaby, and this is a portion of the forest that really doesn’t need that. By putting a development in there, you’re taking up a lot of trees Continued on page 8

Flotilla targets pipeline activity By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The fight against Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion project will ramp up this weekend. On Saturday, Oct. 28, anti-pipeline protesters plan to disrupt construction activity in the Burrard Inlet with a flotilla of kayaks and canoes. Part of the $7.4-billion project includes expanding the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby.

Construction plans for the site include building a new dock complex with three berths and a utility dock to moor tugs, boom boats and emergency response vessels. On Aug. 30, the National Energy Board announced Kinder Morgan had met all its pre-construction conditions for the terminal’s expansion. According to Trans Mountain’s website, most of the construction at Westridge will occur from

the water. “Kinder Morgan has started construction to expand their tar sands tanker terminal,” reads a press release from Coast Protectors. “If they complete it, it could put the entire Salish Sea at risk, sending hundreds of tankers loaded with dangerous tar sands oil through the Burrard Inlet endangering the water, salmon, people and the climate, without the consent of Indigenous peoples.”

Trans Mountain’s Ali Hounsell has long maintained that safety is Kinder Morgan’s first priority. The flotilla demonstration will start at Cates Park, 4141 Dollarton Hwy., North Vancouver, at 11 a.m. Meanwhile, the pipeline’s in-service date (December 2019) could be delayed by up to nine months, Kinder Morgan announced last week. The company cited a slow permit process.

Please be aware that this promotion does not include a $20 gift card. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

Anti-pipeline activists hold ‘die-in’ Continued from page 1 Besides twinning the existing pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby, Kinder Morgan’s $7.4-billion Trans Mountain project will see an additional 14 new tanks built on Burnaby Mountain, bringing the total number of tanks to 26. In their demonstration, the anti-pipeline activists referred to a 2015 report published by the Burnaby Fire Department. The document analyzes the fire and safety risks and consequences associated with adding more units, and concludes the tank farm should not be expanded. The document, which outlines a number of worst-case scenarios for the Burnaby Mountain facility, states the expansion “poses significant constraints.” Those include: the safety of firefighters and effectiveness to combat fire; containment and extinguishment of fire/spill/ release; evacuation of employees within the

Burnaby Mountain terminal facility; and the evacuation of adjacent neighbourhoods. The activists called on Goodale to conduct “a thorough public safety analysis” of the tank farm expansion; coordinate an emergency evacuation and response strategy with the Burnaby Fire Department, Burnaby RCMP, Kinder Morgan, SFU and other “high-life risk areas” in the community; and produce a report, showing how Public Safety Canada intends to address the worst-case scenarios. Following the demonstration, BROKE’s Karl Perrin hand delivered a letter to Public Safety Canada’s Burnaby office. He was met with a locked door. “Hello, I’ve got an extra hearing aid. Can you hear me?” Perrin said as he pulled out an extra hearing aid from his jacket pocket. “We’re waiting.” After a few knocks and no response, Perrin slid the letter under the door.

The NOW put in a request for comment to Goodale’s ministry but was redirected to Natural Resources Canada. In an emailed statement, communications officer Jocelyn Argibay wrote: “The decision we took on the Trans Mountain expansion project was based on facts, evidence and what was in the national interest. We embrace a diversity of views and opinions with respect to Canada’s energy future and encourage people to ex-

The right to peaceful protest lays at the foundation of our rights and freedoms and our government respects that right. The project is subject to 157 legally binding conditions designed to ensure the project is built and operated in the safest and most sustainable way possible.”

Sears closure an ‘opportunity’ Big retail chain’s downfall will make redevelopment ‘smoother’

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

There could be a silver lining to the impending closure of Sears Canada – at least for the people behind the redevelopment of Brentwood Town Centre. Last week, Sears Canada announced it would close its remaining stores effective early in the new year. This includes the Burnaby locations at Metropolis at Metrotown and Brentwood Town Centre, which currently employ 122 and 99 people, respectively. While the future of the Metrotown site remains unknown, there is a plan on the books for the space at Brentwood after Sears closes its doors for good, according to Shape Properties. “The closing of Sears, while sad from one perspective – you hate to see businesses go under – I think here it becomes a positive that we can continue with the vision, and continue probably faster and smoother,” said Darren Kwiatkowski, executive vice-president, development and acquisitions. Shape Properties owns the 28-acre site at 4515 and 4567 Lougheed Hwy., and work is currently underway on the first phase of the site’s redevelopment. Dubbed “The Amazing Brentwood,” the Brentwood

If you are interested in becoming a carrier please call 604.398.3481 Change is coming: Sears Canada is closing its doors for good in the early new year. That will include the location at Brentwood Town Centre. Shape Properties, which owns the Brentwood site and is currently redeveloping it, says the closure could be an opportunity in disguise. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Town Centre redevelopment will include the construction of more than 6,000 new homes and 1.1 million square feet of commercial space. Work is underway right now on the first phase of the project. The logistics of Phase 2, which includes the northwest corner of the site, are being worked out right now. The existing Sears location and surrounding parking lot is all part of the third phase of the project. “The plan sets out the principles. As we move forward over time, how much of the mall is demolished and rebuilt and how much

is repurposed or reused, those decisions kind of get made at the time based on cost and practicality,” he said. “It’s safe to say the parts of the mall that will remain will undergo renovation and updating so that it all feels shiny and new.” Asked if Shape has any prospects for a new tenant for the Sears space once it closes, Kwiatkowski said they don’t. In fact, the company might not even bother renting out the space, he said. “It would be short term, if there was a tenant, but we’re studying that right now as far as what we do in the interim,” he said.

FRESH CHOICES

It could be that Shape will need the space for its sales centre or other existing clients currently housed in spaces in the northwest corner of the site, which would be forced out once construction on Phase 2 starts, he added. “At the end of the day, there will be more shops, more restaurants and more jobs than were lost at the Sears, so I think it’s a boost,” Kwiatkowski said, adding the goal of the redevelopment is to create a walkable community that includes a mix of residential and commercial opportunities.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Emergency prep is more than granola bars

If you’re like most of us, the only time you think of an earthquake is when a) we have a seismic tremor, b) there’s a big one somewhere else on the planet, c) there’s a drill at school or work or, d) you see the media cover the “Shake Out B.C.” event every October. In fact, in a 2017 survey conducted by Ipsos Reid and St. John Ambulance, only seven per cent of

British Columbians have created an emergency plan, purchased an emergency supply kit and trained in first aid and CPR. However, 34 per cent of British Columbians rated their overall level of emergency readiness as “excellent/ good.” We suspect their standards are a lot lower than St. John Ambulance. Some folks think that if

they’ve got extra water in the pantry and some granola bars, they’re doing pretty well. Others believe the old sleeping bag in the garage counts as part of their emergency supplies, and still others may think that because they’re near a community centre, they’ve got it made. They’ll just all run there where there will be clean sheets, food and water galore.

Some folks are considering their vehicle their “emergency readiness kit” and have it all equipped. But what if the big one hits when you’re not near your car? Do you know what to do when your cellphone won’t work? Where do you turn off the power and water? What happens if there is a fire? What happens if someone is cut and needs

a tourniquet? Do you know where the first-aid kit is? Is it fully stocked? And then there are the majority of us, who pride ourselves on having a 72-hour emergency kit, but we’ve never taken a first-aid course, or CPR course, or even checked out a YouTube video on how to save someone. All the supplies in the world are useless if you have no idea what to do

with them. The good news is that there are organizations and people ready and more than willing to help you. Don’t be caught unprepared or be lulled into a false sense of security because you have a kit and no emergency plan. Check out www. setforemergency.com and see how you rate.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

B.C., Alberta in a showdown

Are B.C. and Alberta on a collision course of potentially mammoth proportions? It certainly seems so if Jason Kenney wins the leadership of the United Conservative Party in Alberta this week. Kenney, a former federal cabinet minister in the Harper government, is the odds-on favourite to win and his party seems positioned to best Premier Rachel Notley’s NDP when the next Alberta election is held in May, 2019. The merger of the two right-wing parties in Alberta means there is no longer a “split” on the right. Such a split paved the way for an NDP win in 2015 and its absence makes the NDP’s re-election improbable. If Kenney does end up winning on both counts, the stage could be set for a potentially nasty and divisive fight pitting Alberta against those perceived as standing in the way of the province’s interests. To Kenney, the main enemies will be Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, B.C. Premier John Horgan andVancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson (if he is still mayor in 2019). Kenney has been making speeches that aggressively call out those who want to block Alberta’s attempts to export oil from its tar sands. Topping that list is the B.C. NDP government, which is trying to stop the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline that currently takes Alberta’s bitumen to tidewater. Last week, Kenney gave a speech warning that if the B.C. government were to take “dilatory mea-

sures” in blocking the pipeline – which he equates with harming the economic union of the country – there would be “consequences.” “If B.C. wants to move their gas through Alberta to U.S. markets, perhaps we should be tolling that gas,” he told a cheering crowd, which roared in approval when he talked of “turning off the taps” when it came to stopping the shipment of all Alberta oil to other provinces. “Maybe one morning people inVancouver wake up and they see it costs five bucks a litre to buy their oil, they’ll realize that their cars and trucks and economy are not fuelled by pixie dust, but by Alberta oil.” He also took a swipe at Robertson, who wants to makeVancouver a “carbon free city” by the year 2040. “I’m prepared to give him a carbon freeVancouver by 2020 if they stop that pipeline,” he promised. Kenney also wants to dismantle or at least neuter the National Energy Board, but much of his anger seems aimed directly at the B.C. NDP government. And his anger seems widely shared by fellow Albertans. There has even been talk of employing such measures as implementing “rat inspection stations” at all border crossings, which could adversely affect the considerable amount of commercial vehicle traffic that flows daily from B.C. to Alberta. Kenney will likely become party leader by Saturday. If he does indeed win, hang on for a wild ride. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Feds pay up for crash injuries The federal government settled out of court with a 32-year-old Burnaby man who spent a month in a coma after his 1970 Mustang was broadsided by an RCMP police cruiser pursuing a speeding motorcyclist. Toni Gonidis was turning left onto Royal Oak Avenue from Kingsway on Sept. 9, 1986 when he was hit and suffered irreversible injuries, according to his lawyer. The constable driving the cruiser was acquitted of driving without due care and attention in 1987, but in May 1989, the federal government agreed to an out-of-court structured settlement worth about $900,000.

Dear Editor: Recently I attended an information meeting on local business opportunities from the Kinder Morgan pipeline, hosted by the Burnaby Board of Trade. Attendees raised several questions: How has KM mitigated the financial and reputational risks for local businesses of involvement with a project that is opposed by the cities of Burnaby and Vancouver, 70 per cent of Burnaby residents, the B.C. government responsible for issuing relevant permits, and a number of First Nations, some of which have launched a powerful lawsuit against it? What about the 21,000 British Columbians, including prominent political figures, who have pledged to commit civil disobedience if that is what it takes to stop this environmentally risky project, making our community potentially the site of the next globally watched Standing Rock? How many local jobs will really be created, if there are hundreds of highly skilled unemployed oil industry workers in the southern U.S. ready to underbid local workers and move up here? No answers were forthcoming from Kinder Morgan (a Texas-based multinational, founded by former Enron executives, that often hides behind the Trans Mountain label, even though KM has owned the local pipeline for only 12 years). The latest delay (reported in Burnaby NOW, Oct. 20) is another clue that this project is in difficulty.

Local businesses should think twice before investing time in bidding for this troubled and troubling project. Angelika Hackett, Burnaby

Once-privileged Liberals not gracious in defeat Dear Editor: B.C. Liberal MLA and leadership contender Andrew Wilkinson has characterized the May election as follows: “We were preaching at people from 30,000 feet ... the NDP were in their living rooms ...” It’s probably a pretty good analysis of what went wrong for Christy Clark and company. But it also begs a rather logical extension of the analogy that goes something like this: Cruising along at 30,000 feet for far too long, the Liberal plane ran out of gas, the pilot bailed, and the high flyers have been in free fall since. The only question is whether or not they can survive the abrupt return to Earth. I occasionally tune into the Legislative Assembly channel to see how they’re faring. Not very well, I’m afraid. In particular, unrestrained panic seems to have replaced the cut and thrust of question period. Yelling, rudeness and insults is the new norm. The spectacle of sore losers? Yes, but it’s more than that. It’s the behaviour of the once privileged and powerful refusing to accept defeat brought about by their own arrogance. Thankfully, question period only lasts an hour. Bill Brassington Sr., Burnaby

a single project, it would cause significant disruption to the citizens of Burnaby as well because we’d be digging up a lot of road, and we don’t really want to do that.” According to the report, if the city did the fibre installations as independent projects, it would come with a $37 million price tag over eight years. By having costsharing agreements with other city departments and other partners, construction costs would be reduced to $17 million over 15 years. Staff will continue to focus on buildings that have the highest usage,Wallace said.The city has 22 major network sites (Burnaby Public Library), 55 medium-sized sites (Bonsor Recreation Complex) and various access points (traffic lights).The next priority sites include the Laurel and Still Creek works yards, and Fire Hall 7.

The City of Burnaby is moving ahead with creating its own fibre network. At its Oct. 16 meeting, city council approved a strategic direction that would see a telecommunications system in place in the next 15 years or so. The city’s existing fibre network connects the city hall campus – city hall,West Building, Deer Lake and Fire Hall 1. “It’s a much better deal for us as a city,” said Shari Wallace, the city’s chief information officer, about expanding the network. “If we try to buy commercial services to ramp up to that same rate of our technology usage, it would become prohibitively expensive over time.” In 2015, the city entered into a 10-year agreement with Telus for high-

speed broadband service for 26 sites at “advantageous rates.” In exchange,Telus could install small cell devices on infrastructure such as light poles. Each site using a commercial service is costing the city an average of $13,500 per year, notes a staff report. “We know when our contract with Telus ends, that’s when we can start to realize the majority of the savings,” said Wallace, adding other neighbouring municipalities like New Westminster are also forging ahead with building their own fibre network. To save construction costs, she added the city will piggy-back on other civic projects, something she called a “dig-once approach.” “What we’re doing right now is we’re building it as the opportunity comes up. If we decided that we were just going to set this up as

POLICE

Assault charge laid in SkyTrain incident

Dulcinea Langfelder

based on an original idea and texts by Charles Fariala a production of Dulcinea Langfelder & Co

Man allegedly attacked victim without provocation A 32-year-old Surrey man was arrested at a Burnaby SkyTrain station last week after an alleged unprovoked attack on a fellow SkyTrain passenger. The victim boarded SkyTrain at the King George station in Surrey on Oct. 16 at about 7:25 p.m. and sat down, according to a Transit Police press release. Another man sat down directly in front of him. The first man took a call on his cellphone, and, when the call ended, the man in front of him turned around

and began yelling and swearing at him and threatening him with violence, according to police. As the train pulled into the Surrey Central station, the yelling man allegedly grabbed the other man, punching him and throwing him out the train doors, onto the platform, where he allegedly kicked him before getting back on the train. Several witnesses called police, and Transit Police officers intercepted the train at Royal Oak station, where they took a suspect into cus-

tody. Jeremy William Thayer, 32, has now been charged with assault and uttering threats. Thayer is well known to police. His next appearance in Surrey Provincial Court is Oct. 27. The victim suffered bruising and abrasions. Anyone with more information about this incident is asked to call Transit Police at 604-515-8300. – Cornelia Naylor

Some hauntingly good fun for city families Julie MacLellan FAMILY TIES

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

If you’re already dreading this year’s barrage of sugar, never fear:There’s more to Halloween than just candy. Burnaby families can find plenty of fun Halloweenthemed offerings around the city to keep the kids busy for the next week. We’ve rounded up some of them for this week’s column. Check it out:

ARRRR HOUSE … : Yes, it’s back.The annual Pirate House extravaganza is returning to 5970 Portland St. this year. Captained by Julie Desroches, the elaborate Halloween display – dubbed Boozabuzza Island and featuring all the piratical trappings, including a sea, marina, shipyard, inn, cemetery and even a pirates’ protest board – is a fundraiser for St. Stephen’s Children’s Centre in Uganda. This is the fifth year for the display, and Desroches says she was never expecting it to take off the way it has. “We would never have thought five years ago that what was just a little Halloween project that we hoped could raise some money for St. Stephen’s Children’s Centre would become the catalyst for change that it has since become. Here we are now, a registered non-profit society with over 75 members, and we have raised about $50,000 for St. Stephen’s in the last five years,” she wrote in an email. The Pirate House fund-

raiser itself has raised about $10,000 of that total. The fundraiser has paid for a roof for the nursery school, solar electricity, rainwater harvesting tanks and desks, among others. Desroches is hoping this year’s display will raise enough to complete the licensing and registration process so St. Stephen Children’s Centre can become an official public school, and to complete the foundations for the rainwater harvesting tanks. The display is open on Halloween night, Oct. 31, from 5 to 8 p.m. It’s familyfriendly, and small ones are welcome. Anyone wanting to make a donation to the children’s centre is welcome to do so online at www.ststephen childrenscentre.org. You can find out more about Pirate House at www. piratehouse.ca.

HAUNTED VILLAGE: It wouldn’t be Halloween in Burnaby without a visit to the Haunted Village. Burnaby Village Museum is once again hosting its popular Halloween event, running nightly from Friday, Oct. 27 to Monday, Oct. 30.

A PIRATE’S DEATH FOR ME: A pirate skull guards the shrine at Pirate House, an annual Halloween extravaganza in Burnaby. The display, at 5970 Portland St., is back this year to help raise money for the St. Stephen Children’s Centre in Uganda.

Celebrating Seniors

Better at Home helps city’s independent seniors Burnaby seniors are living independently longer thanks to the city’s Better At Home program. The initiative, which was launched in March 2014, provides seniors with rides to their medical appointments as well as light housekeeping services. “We kind of fill in the gaps,” said program coordinator Michele Wilson, adding the initiative had over 5,000 service moments and more than 350 clients last year. “If you take a senior in their home, say they’re living in a single detached dwelling and that individual has to carry their laundry hamper down a flight of stairs.Their fine for the most part, mucking about the house and everything,” she said. “But for them to take that dangerous step downstairs to the basement with a laundry hamper, if they’ve got mobility issues, or balance problems, that’s a real danger to them. But if they didn’t have that to wor-

ry about, otherwise, they’re doing quite fine.” The Better At Home program has literally been a life saver for some, added Wilson. In one client’s case, the housekeeper noticed his health had “declined drastically.” It was reported by the housekeeper and the client was put into a care home. “Had that connection to Better at Home, who knows how long it would have taken for anybody to notice he needed to be seen by somebody or if he would have gone to anybody,”Wilson said. “Those are the clients that we’ve been able to access, and we feel really good about the work we’re doing. It’s more than just housekeeping. A lot of the work we’re doing is advocacy work for those clients that don’t have anybody to advocate on their behalf.” Of those serviced by the program,Wilson noted about 51 per cent are Caucasian while the remaining 49 per cent are non-English

We feel really good about the work we’re doing speaking. She said she’s really proud of the relationships they’ve been able to build with organizations like MOSAIC. Wilson recalled one client, a 92-year-old woman from Afghanistan, who came to Canada as a refugee. Better at Home staff were able to connect with a translator through MOSA-

IC, a charity that helps newcomers settle into Canadian society.The client was able to get the necessary supports she needed, and went from being isolated to being connected, said Wilson.The translator was able to help with intake and home visits and check voice messages. To qualify for the program, seniors must be at least 65 years old, a Burnaby resident and live independently. Fees for service are based on a sliding scale, based on the individual’s income.To apply, call 604-297-4877 or email betterathome@ burnaby.ca.

the organization is grateful for support from the LINC Community and Continuing Education program, as well as instructors from Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, who worked with the group on pre-events leading up to the festival – introductory sessions for immigrants and refugees learning English. “The success of these events is attributed to their commitment to the goal of celebrating language and lit-

erature, which can shape and connect diverse cultures together,” she said in a press release. After pre-events on Sept. 28 and Oct. 4, the festival is now coming up – and the whole community is invited to take part.

A advocacy

bbot.ca

Burnaby Board of Trade Welcomes Tax Reform Rethink By Cory Redekop cory@bbot.ca The Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT), the city’s most active business networking, advocacy and economic development organization, is welcoming the federal government’s plan to revise its proposed business tax reforms and to reduce the small business tax rate. After a careful review of the proposed changes this summer, the BBOT determined that they may undermine entrepreneurship and harm small businesses, and advocated for the changes to be reconsidered. In its efforts, the BBOT worked to ensure any tax

policy changes were as targeted as possible and that they avoided unintended negative consequences for the business community as a whole. The BBOT is encouraged by the government’s new indication that it will make several revisions to its proposed tax changes including cancelling the proposed restrictions on the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption, broadening the deﬁnition of what constitutes a ‘contribution’ to a business in regards to receiving dividend income, and committing to a limited administrative requirement to comply with the changes. In addition, the BBOT applauds the government’s announcement that the small

business tax rate will be lowered from 10.5% to 10% as of January 1st, 2018 and then to 9% on January 1st, 2019, a reduction which could save a business up to $7,500 each year. As one of the BBOT’s concerns with the government’s proposals was the potential to undermine business investment, this tax reduction and its savings are welcome. The BBOT will review the forthcoming revisions to the proposed tax changes on behalf of its members and will continue to engage with government on how these changes can be best implemented and applied. ¾

BBOT Rallies BC Businesses to Push for More Women in Corporate Boardrooms By Cory Redekop cory@bbot.ca It will take up to 75 years to reach gender parity in BC’s corporate boardrooms, which is too long according to the Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) and its new policy push for seeing more women on boards of directors. However, the BBOT isn’t alone in this effort as it has rallied the BC business community to its side by getting this policy proposal adopted as a formal position of the BC Chamber of Commerce at its provincial AGM

earlier this year. Through its Women’s Business Success Network, the BBOT is making the case for greater gender diversity on corporate boards as a way of improving the bottom line. Numerous studies have found that greater corporate gender diversity is linked to everything from better returns on equity, higher stock prices, and overall better ﬁnancial performance. The BBOT’s policy is calling for publiclytraded BC companies to ensure women are recruited and considered for all board

vacancies, but leaves the ﬁnal selection of a candidate up to the company. “With only 12% of board seats in Canada held by women, we need policies to ensure more women are having a chance to compete for these positions,” says Paul Holden, BBOT President & CEO. “That said, we aren’t advocating for a quota for boards—there are so many talented business women that, given a better opportunity as our proposal would provide, they will easily earn more board seats on their own merit.” ¾

BBOT Represents Burnaby at National Business Conference By Cory Redekop cory@bbot.ca The Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) represented the Burnaby business community at 2017 Canadian Chamber of Commerce AGM in Fredericton, New Brunswick on September 23-25. This annual gathering of chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and industry/ business leaders provides a unique opportunity for the BBOT to bring best

practices from across the country back to Burnaby, to explore possible partnerships and collaboration, and to speak out on issues important to the Burnaby business community. A highlight of the AGM is the policy plenary session, where public policy resolutions developed by chambers of commerce and boards of trade from across Canada are debated and voted upon. The BBOT advanced two proposals this year, advocating against Canada’s Anti-Spam

Legislation and making the business case for encouraging more women to serve on corporate boards. The AGM also provided an opportunity to engage directly on the federal government’s proposed changes to the taxation of private corporations, which included an exclusive opportunity to hear from and pose questions to Bill Morneau, the federal Minister of Finance. ¾

The Burnaby Board of Trade’s Women’s Business Success Network (WBSN) is a group of women and men interested in supporting women at all levels of business, whether a sole entrepreneur, a small business owner, a business professional or an established executive. Throughout the year the group hosts events and panels. To ﬁnd out more about the WBSN please visit bbot. ca/programs or contact cory@bbot.ca for more information.

The Burnaby Board of Trade’s Pledge for a Sustainable Community is an online resource and green business directory that provides sustainability tips for business large and small. In the Pledge Success stories you can read about the passion and ingenuity of local businesses who are making a difference to their bottom line and to their communities. bbotpledge.ca/success-stories

environmental communities. Volunteering and supporting leading organizations like the David Suzuki Foundation, as well as engaging sustainability leadership in both industry and government to support objectives that drive positive environmental policies and practices. WHAT THEY HOPE TO ACHIEVE Using forest free Sugar Sheet paper instead of wood ﬁbre paper provides their clients with a value that aligns with their core principles and practices to protect the environment. Furthermore, each client receives an annual eco-savings report showcasing their tree savings and green house gas reductions as a result of converting to Sugar Sheet paper.

Royal Printers: Going ForestFree is Easier Than You Think By Tessa Vanderkop tessa@bbot.ca Since 1932, Royal Printers has been committed to providing BC businesses with a single source for their printing requirements. Decades later, the tradition lives on with a new message; Print Without Forests. In 2013, the company took a huge leap and introduced a complete lineup of 100% tree-free paper called Sugar Sheet to support their mandate. To further support their mandate, Royal also became certified by Bullfrog Power as BC’s first Green Energy Printer and works closely with Eeko Couriers to offer sustainable deliveries with a 100% hybrid fleet. Protecting the environment has always

been a key part of Royal Printers’ 86 year history. However, over the past decade sustainability has become their primary business driver. Beyond business objectives their team made the commitment to work with clients, supply chain partners and other community stakeholders to share ideas that elevate sustainable practices and through collaboration, minimize deforestation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. GETTING STARTED To lead change Royal Printers needed to be “the message not the messenger”. Beyond manufacturing 100% forest free Sugar Sheet Paper, they made a larger commitment to listen, share ideas and support key stakeholders within the business and

NEXT STEPS AND GOALS Royal Printers continues to expand their portfolio of agricultural paper and printing solutions. In collaboration with clients, they hope to save millions of trees each year and signiﬁcantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. JOINING THE PLEDGE FOR A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY The Pledge for Sustainability Community represents a growing community of likeminded organizations striving to support the environment while also driving business innovation. A business community that readily share ideas and provide support. A community that is paying attention to the needs of our planet and the ever-growing demand for sustainable products from the most important stakeholder in any business— the customer. ¾ TAKE THE PLEDGE.

LOCAL CONTENT Comprehensive and experienced coverage of council, school board, non-proﬁt organizations, public safety and festivals. ON THE MEND: A rare sight, the Virginia rail pictured here is resting inside an aviary at Wildlife Res-

cue in Burnaby after weeks of recovery. The bird originally had a fracture and swelling on its keel, including loss of its flight due to head trauma. It has been a slow recovery as fractures take time and often prove fatal, but this Virginia rail is resilient. It’s now in an open space where it will work to regain its strength, and once it proves itself to be healthy to the technicians, it will be set free. Spotting a Virginia rail is tricky in the wild as this secretive waterbird likes to hide in dense vegetation around marshes. Combining this behaviour with its natural camouflage makes it a hard target for bird watchers. PHOTO PAUL STEEVES, CONTRIBUTED

Defence puts STM in control By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

There was no quick start to Saturday’s contest, but the St.Thomas More Knights made sure it finished in similar fashion. Burnaby’s AAA senior football team shook off a rare slow start and bore down for a resounding 49-0 triumph over Mount Boucherie in Kelowna. And as it’s been throughout their 7-0 (5-0 in conference play) season, the Knights rode the wave of a stifling defence to stay undefeated. “It took us a little while to get our legs going in this one,” remarked head coach Steve De Lazzari. But when the offence was stalled, the defence was motoring. Three interceptions gave STM good field position, with Luke Benedet, Jonah Fridfinnson and David Osho each turning their snags into 25-yard pickups. Mateo Carteri, Sam Steele and Benedet counted six tackles apiece, while Josh Wilson scooped up a fumble for a 28yard touchdown. Fridfinnson and Osho tacked on five tackles each. That well-worn cliché on football being a team game was proven true again. “Our defence is all about fast play and a high football IQ,” said De Lazzari. “It’s been the same this year no matter who we play.” At the other end, the offence tallied 339 yards, including a 11-for-12 performance from quarterback Dario Ciccone, for 140 yards and one major. One of the passes was a 45-yard dart to Osho, who fumbled the ball but saw teammate Michael Simone pick it up and run it in from 30 yards. Tyler Eckert continued his league-leading pace with 150 yards on 15 carries, including three TDs. One was a 55-yard second-half major, as STM built upon a 28-0 halftime lead. Justin McCloskey, on an eight-yard TD pass, and Ciccone, on a two-yard QB keeper, also scored. The Knights host 1-4 W.J. Mouat on Friday, 7:30 p.m. at Burnaby Lake.

Grinding it out: Appearing to hit a dead end, Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s Craig McLaughlin, centre, with the ball, battles with his Capilano tacklers while teammate Micha Govorchin, at left, offers support during Saturday’s premier men’s game in North Van.

Sockeyes stop Steelers’ winning streak By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It was fun while it lasted. The Grandview Steelers’ seven-game win streak was busted on Thursday and is now a distant memory after the Pacific Junior B Hockey club suffered back-to-back losses at the hands of the Richmond Sockeyes. Although both defeats were by single-goal margins, they stalled Grandview’s rise up the Tom

Shaw Conference charts at 8-60-1, seven points back of firstplace Delta. Richmond’s Nicolas Bizzutto counted the game winner on both nights, including Sunday’s 2-1 decision at the Burnaby Winter Club. Bizzutto tallied 17:20 into the second period to break a 1-1 deadlock. The Sockeyes never trailed, grabbing the lead 2:08 into the contest on Marcus Sihota’s marker.The Steelers’ Jeffrey

Wong notched his sixth of the season, on assists from Connor Alderson and Nico Bruno, to knot the game at 1-1 early in the middle frame.Thirty-two seconds later, Bizzutto sniped the game winner. Grandview’s Cale Dolan made 23 saves, as did winning goalie Hardarshan Hoonjan. Three days earlier, Bizzutto notched the winner 4:35 into the third on a powerplay. Down 2-0 after one period,

the Steelers valiantly charged back with a pair of markers in the second period – Alderson with a powerplay goal midway through the frame and Bruno, tallying shorthanded, with 2:38 left in the second period. It doesn’t get any easier for the Steelers, as they face Harold Brittain Division-leading Abbotsford on Friday before returning home to host Shawleading Delta on Sunday, 7:15 p.m. at the Winter Club.

Chiefs sharp on South Island trip

It’s a little late in coming, but the Vancouver North East Chiefs are enjoying their first two-game win streak of the season. The club, which plays in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League, racked up a pair of vic-

tories in Victoria by beating the South Island Royals 3-2 and 7-1 on the weekend. Burnaby netminders Logan Terness and Michael Harroch each collected a win, while forward Quinton Hill scored three times

and set up two others over the two games. The Chiefs square off against the Greater Vancouver Canadians this weekend, hosting the C’s on Sunday, 11:30 a.m. at Burnaby 8-Rinks.

Hockey Canada unveiled the three Canadian rosters that will be competing at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, Nov. 5 to 11 in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John. And a pair of Burnaby Winter Club alum will enjoy wearing the black hats. Sasha Mutala and Massimo Rizzo, both 16, were named to Canada’s Team Black roster, which opens the tournament Nov. 5 against Team Canada White. Mutala is in his first season with the Western Hockey League’s TriCity Americans, where he has posted a goal in 12 games. He was the sixth overall pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft. A year ago, he counted 20 goals and 43 assists as a member of the major midget Greater Vancouver Canadians. Rizzo, a Burnaby native, has contributed a pair of goals and four assists to start his rookie campaign with the B.C. Hockey League’s Penticton Vees. Rizzo was chosen 15th overall by Kamloops in the 2016 WHL draft. With the BWC’s midget prep team last season, Rizzo tallied 22 goals and 62 assists.

Home Space for Your Buck in Burnaby and Tri-Cities It seems home buyers in Burnaby and the Tri-Cities can get less and less floor space for their dollar these days. Of the 99 home sales across the region October 9-15 (registered by October 23), the median sale price per square foot (PSF) was $603.40.

week, but it jives very closely with the $588.11 cited as the price PSF for typical Burnaby detached home by a nationwide Century 21 study released October 23. Century 21 also reported that this $588.11 PSF figure was a 259% increase over a 20-year period, with a typical Burnaby detached home selling for a mere $164 PSF in 1997.

However, when broken out between the 77 attached home sales and 22 single-family home sales of that week, this amounts to a median sale price of $631.23 PSF for attached homes. That figured compares with just $476.05 for detached houses, which have a lower price PSF than condos due to economies of scale.

Of the 22 detached homes that sold across Burnaby and the Tri-Cities October 9-15, the median floor space was 2,912 square feet. That compares with a median of 875 square feet for the 77 attached homes (townhouses and condos) sold that week.

In Burnaby alone, the median sale price PSF that same week was $581.85. That is a lot higher than the median $399.33 PSF for detached homes sold in the Tri-Cities that

The median overall sale price for a detached home in the Burnaby/TriCities region, of the 22 houses sold that week, was $1,364,000 – a little lower than the previous week, which

saw the same number of sales at 22 units.

Among the 77 attached home sales the same week, the median price was $545,000 – $5K more than the week before. This divides out as $506,250 among the 62 condo unit sales that week, and $738K as a median sale price of the 15 townhouses and other attached units that exchanged hands.

The most expensive home sale of the same week was a 2011-built executive home in Burnaby’s desirable Forest Glen neighbourhood, walking distance to thriving Metrotown. A relatively simple, elegant-looking home with a modern-classic aesthetic, its exterior belies the whopping 10 bedrooms and nine bathrooms found inside. It sold on October 12 for $2.36 million, $128K under asking price, after 92 days on the market.

His summer holidays were spent camping in Jasper, Alberta where he loved getting back to nature and totally relaxing. Ivor was also known as a Baker. He loved making cookies and jam throughout the year for his co-workers and friends. He was a very generous and kind man and treated all his friends as “FAMILY”.
