WHAT’S NEXT?

WAITING: Ruth Vodden, secretary of the board of directors, and Mark Perry, chair of the financial committee at Post 83 Co-op in Burnaby, are concerned about what will happen when subsidies end for 45 families in the housing complex. The co-op’s agreement with the federal government ends next March, as do others across Canada, and it’s unknown at this time if those families will be able to stay in their homes.

Co-op residents worry about the future Subsidies are ending and residents hope feds will announce a new plan to help

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby housing co-operative is unsure what the future holds for its subsidized residents.

Some funding agreements between the federal government and co-ops across the country are scheduled to end next March,

including one at Post 83 Co-Op on Mayberry Street, where 45 low-income households rely on subsidies to pay the rent.

“There’s a lot of people that are wondering what’s going to happen,” Mark Perry, a resident at Post 83 and chair of the co-op’s financial committee, told the NOW. “If they can’t pay our market rent, what are they going to do? Where are they going to go?”

There are 26 housing co-ops in Burnaby.

The federal government got out of housing in the early 1990s, when funding to build new homes dried up, along with the network of affordable housing builders.

“Budget 2017 will invest more than $11.2 billion over 11 years, in addition to preserving the baseline funding related to expiring social housing agreements.These investments are for initiatives designed to build, renew and repair Canada’s stock of affordable housing and help ensure that Canadians have housing that meets their needs,” the email read.

Right now, it’s unclear how that money will be divvied up and what it means for the country’s co-op buildings.

When asked what will happen to Post 83’s agreement, Audrey-Anne Coulombe, spokesperson for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), pointed to the Liberals’ National Housing Strategy currently in the works.

“Thirty million (dollars) was invested through budget 2016 to renew subsidies until March 2018 as a short-term measure while developing the National Housing Strategy,” she wrote in an email.

(Post 83 was not one of the co-ops to receive funding under an extended operating agreement).

Man and woman face charges in deadly fight Altercation over flicked cigarette butt ended in death at local coffee shop

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man and woman have been charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of a 22-year-old man at a North Burnaby Starbucks this summer.

Burnaby RCMP responded to a report of an altercation at the Starbucks by Hastings Street and Kensington Avenue at about 2:30 p.m. on July 12, according to a statement from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

At the scene, police found Michael Page-Vincelli suffering injuries from an alleged assault.

He was taken to hospital but died on July 15.

A witness told the CBC an argument had started outside the Starbucks over a

A woman had tossed the butt out of the window and Page-Vincelli had picked it up and thrown it back at her, according to the witness.

He said the woman had then gone into a nearby bank and retuned with a man, following Page-Vincelli into the coffee shop.

Other witnesses told CBC Page-Vincelli was punched and fell, hitting his head on the counter.

Starbucks staff said they couldn’t comment on the incident because of the ongoing investigation but confirmed a man had died after an altercation at the restaurant.

Manslaughter charges have now been

laid against Lawrence Alvin Sharpe, 40, and Oldouz Pournouruz, 35.

The pair were arrested in Burnaby without incident, according to police, and appeared in B.C. Provincial Court in Vancouver on Nov. 20.

THE PIPELINE

Protesters set up trailer to monitor Kinder Morgan

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Anti-pipeline activists have parked a small camper at the corner of Shellmont Street and Underhill Avenue in North Burnaby to keep an eye on Kinder Morgan.

The group – a “grassroots” movement not associated with any organization – is protesting the $7.4-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, which has faced fierce opposition from First Nations groups, the City of Burnaby and the B.C. government.

On Nov. 8, Xenoa Skinteh parked his home on wheels (one he’s dubbed Camp Cloud) at the Westridge Marine Terminal. A week later, he was “evicted” by the city’s parking enforcement supervisor, he told the NOW. Skinteh then moved the “surveillance post” to Shellmont Street, near the

Kinder Morgan property line, where he and others take photos of the vehicles coming in and out of the facility, and record everything in a log book.

“Kinder Morgan has moved forward without jurisdiction, without consent, with the construction and with the project,” said Uni Urchin, another protester.

Urchin added many people have dropped in over the last few weeks to show their support, bringing food or hot coffee with them.

“I’ve probably heard 100 people say, ‘I’m willing to die for this,’” noted Skinteh, who also pointed to the tiny house warriors, who are building 10 tiny houses on the pipeline route in an effort to stop the project.

Asked how long the group intends to stay at the Shellmont location, Urchin could only say “plans are always changing.”

Is a new dad ‘indispensable’ to infant’s care?

That question is at the heart of a complaint to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal over man’s firing

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A local man fired by a Burnaby company for refusing to work away from his wife and infant daughter for more than two months straight has fought off an attempt to have his complaint to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal dismissed.

Brian Suen, a former

project manager with Burnaby-based Envirocon Environmental Services, was fired on Jan. 26, 2016 after he refused an assignment that would have required him to be in Manitoba for eight to 10 weeks straight, unless he flew home at his own expense on weekends.

He filed a human rights complaint against Envirocon on July 26, 2016, al-

leging the company had discriminated against him based on his family status.

Envirocon applied to have the complaint dismissed, but that application was denied by tribunal member Emily Ohler in a decision this month.

Suen became a father on Sept. 5, 2015, three years into his employment with Envirocon, according to

Ohler’s Oct. 19 ruling.

In mid- to late-January, he was assigned to a project in Manitoba after a project manager at a site there resigned unexpectedly.

On Jan. 25, 2015, Suen told Envirocon he would not be going to Manitoba in consideration of his wife and four-month-old baby.

“Mr. Suen says that the Manitoba project was presented to him as a unilateral direction which contrasted to his previous out-of-town assignments which had al-

ways been negotiated arrangements,” Ohler said.

“He had also never been presented with an assignment such as this which was both long term and had no prospect for a company paid return to Vancouver during the assignment term.”

He was fired the next day.

Envirocon said it was relying on its management rights and acting in accordance with the terms and conditions of Mr. Suen’s contract.

Among its arguments for why his complaint should be dismissed, Envirocon said Suen’s daughter had no special or unique physical or mental or medical needs, his wife was the primary caregiver for their child and on a maternity leave, and the family had ample support and resources to provide additional care for his child.

Envirocon further argued Suen did not have “any special skill or ability which Continued on page 9

Burnaby case could set new human rights precedent Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

If your boss is discriminating against you because of your family status, you’re going to have a tougher time proving it in B.C. than elsewhere in Canada.

But a local father’s human rights complaint against his Burnaby employer has the potential to change that.

Brian Suen, a project manager and new dad, filed a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal in

July 2016, after his employer, Evirocon Environmental Services, fired him for refusing to work out of the province and away from his wife and infant daughter for up to two-and-a-half months straight.

In an application to have

the complaint dismissed, Envirocon pointed to a 2004 B.C. Court of Appeal decision in a case called Health Sciences Assn. of British Columbia v. Campbell River and North Island Transition Society – “Campbell River” for short.

It’s a precedent often invoked by employers battling family status complaints.

According to the Campbell River ruling, a person who has been discriminated against because of family status has to be able to prove that a change in em-

ployment has led to “serious interference with a substantial parental or other family duty.”

Because the decision is from B.C.’s highest court, Campbell River is a precedent lower courts and legal Continued on page 9

Non-market housing coming to Metrotown Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A new, 14-storey apartment building will be added to the Metrotown skyline.

But unlike other towers that have popped up in the neighbourhood recently, this one will consist of only non-market rentals.

New Vista Society wants to build 125 non-market units at 6525, 6559 and 6585 Sussex Ave., a site currently occupied by three low-rise rentals totalling 64 units.

The non-profit organization, which has provided affordable housing to seniors and families in Burnaby since 1945, currently owns and operates 540 independent living apartments and a 236-bed licensed residential care facility.

The development proposal also includes a 47-storey, mixed-use tower facing Beresford Street.

The tower, located on the north portion of the site, would have retail space at the ground level, 10 storeys of office-commercial space, and residential units above, according to a staff report.

There would also be townhomes along Sussex Avenue.

The project is a partnership between New Vista, B.C. Housing and Thind Properties Ltd.The site is owned by Thind, but as

part of the deal, the City of Burnaby will fork over $5.6 million from its density bonus housing fund (money developers pay the city for increased density) to buy the land for the social housing tower. It will then lease the land to B.C. Housing at a nominal rate for 60 years, with B.C. Housing then leasing it back to New Vista.

The mortgage is estimated to cost $35 million.

Besides the $5.6 million, the city will also give the non-profit $1.4 million in density bonus money to offset servicing and permit fees.

Meanwhile, B.C. Housing is prepared to commit up to $9.1 million to the project, according to the report, but the funding remains subject to executive and board approval.

Coun. Colleen Jordan, chair of the city’s planning and development committee, told the NOW she’s “really happy” to see a mixeddevelopment with social housing in Metrotown.

“What I hope is that, perhaps, this can be a model for other development that goes forward,” she said.

“We’re more than doubling the amount of housing that we’re losing. ...That’s the kind of thing we’d sure like to have the opportunity to do more of.”

Mayor Derek Corrigan praised the partnership.

“It couldn’t happen without the provincial government agreeing to subsidize the units for social housing,” he said.

“This kind of idea that’s painted out there of the rapacious developer really isn’t the case when you see a developer working like Mr.Thind has, with both the New Vista Society, the provincial government and the City of Burnaby to ensure this project was there and available to be utilized as part of his overall development.”

Rick McGowan with the Metrotown Residents’ Association, a group that has criticized the city for not doing enough to build affordable housing, said he was “pleasantly surprised” to hear of New Vista’s proposal. At the same time, he said, “it’s not enough.”

“It’s too late for the 500 households that have already been displaced. I think the city needs a proper affordable housing strategy,” McGowan added. “It should have been in place prior to the passing of the Metrotown plan update.”

In July, Burnaby council passed its Metrotown development plan – a mass rezoning that will increase density even further by replacing low-rise walk-ups with highrise towers. Up to 6,000 people will be displaced, he said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Co-ops are common sense housing solutions There are a lot of worried residents in Burnaby nowadays.

There are the renters in older apartments wondering if (or rather when) their lodgings will be slated for demolition and replaced by a new highrise.There are the seniors who own their own million-dollar homes but are wondering how they are going to be able to pay their taxes.There are the

working young people who are trying to find an apartment that isn’t going to eat half their paycheque to rent.

There are the single moms and dads who are pondering moving out of B.C. just so they can afford to live in decent housing.There are the folks with good jobs who are leasing small condos in the new towers at very high prices, wondering if they’ll ever be able to save

enough to buy their own.

And then there are the folks in co-ops who are wondering how they will be able to stay in their homes if subsidies don’t continue for many co-ops (see our frontpage story).

Now, we’re not very optimistic where housing, rational policies and politics are concerned.The scales are definitely tipped towards developers and profiteering.

And while all governments pay lip service to the idea that everybody deserves a clean, decent place to live, no government has made that a true priority.

Housing policies land in the spotlight when things hit crisis points, or when voters manage to apply sufficient pressure to get government attention. And solutions are slow to arrive.

Thankfully Burnaby is

now getting on board.The city will help with a new 14-storey mixed development with social housing in the Metrotown area (see story on page 5). It’s not going to tip the scales back significantly, but it is a good step.

And we are cautiously optimistic the federal government will keep some sort of subsidy for co-op housing residents.

Co-op housing makes an incredible amount of common sense today.We need more of it, not less of it.

In fact, we hope all three levels of government will step up and work toward creating more co-op housing. Co-op housing is about community, not investment speculation. And we’re always better off with people who want to create communities in our city.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

This bromance may need cash

The federal government had a fairly large presence in B.C. last week, and no doubt Premier John Horgan hopes he sees many more visits from his federal counterparts, especially if they bring large bags of cash.

That’s something Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale did during a visit to Surrey, where he announced more than $325 million in new funding (over five years) to fight gangs and guns. It’s unclear yet what B.C.’s share will be, but it will likely exceed well more than $40 million over that time period.

Before Goodale dropped by, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Vancouver and spent more than 30 minutes meeting with the B.C. premier. By all accounts, it was yet another positive encounter between these two leaders and another sign that this budding bromance is genuine.

And as the months go by, it will be critical for Horgan to keep up that good relationship if he wants to deliver on some key campaign promises. Simply put, B.C. needs Ottawa’s money – lots and lots of it.

For example, the costly $10-a-day-daycare pledge could cost a whopping $1.5 billion.The NDP will likely argue a big chunk of those costs will be offset by parents returning to the workforce in greater numbers and therefore generating economic activity, but it’s a big hit to government coffers nonetheless.

The daycare plan will be phased in over a number of years, but eventually Horgan will have to go to

Trudeau with cap in hand, looking for some big dollars.

The B.C. premier is also likely looking for unspecified help from Ottawa to deal with the ongoing housing crisis in the Lower Mainland that has now spread to the provincial capital. Solving this crisis was another big arrow in the NDP’s campaign quiver that focused on making life more affordable for everyone, and the Trudeau government will be expected to contribute in some fashion.

Then there is transportation and transit. Building a subway line along Broadway in Vancouver will need the federal government to partner in that multibilliondollar project, and no doubt the feds will be tapped for money for the Surrey light rail expansion if it happens.

What makes extracting money from the Trudeau government a crucial task is the NDP’s decision to cut Medical Service Premiums by 50 per cent and to eventually get rid of them altogether.That reduction will eliminate about $1 billion in revenue next year alone, creating quite a challenge to Finance Minister Carole James to deliver a balanced budget that shows progress is being made on the issues that put her party in power.

She and her premier better hope those federal ministers – and the prime minister – keep dropping by with those bags of cash in the months ahead. If they don’t, some pretty high expectations the NDP have set for themselves will be all but impossible to meet.

Burnaby going to the dogs A staff report in May on proposed off-leash dog parks in the city concluded a compromise between supporters and opponents of the plan just didn’t seem possible. A year earlier, city council had directed staff to look into the possibility of establishing a number of the parks. Staff drew up designs and cost estimates, consulting with organizations in Canada, England and the U.S. But open houses for the proposal got a tepid response, and, of 230 letters to the city, 70 per cent opposed the plan. Of the people who supported off-leash parks, two-thirds opposed the proposed locations. Council tabled the plan for two weeks.

Dear Editor: Remembrance Day is a day for honouring those Canadian and Allied service people who fought in the two world wars. The Second World War freed Germany and the German people from the tyranny of a Fascist leader.

Many lives ended too soon from this terrible situation.

I was touched that the Burnaby NOW, in the Nov. 10 issue, would feature an article about a German soldier being sent to the Russian Front.

New funding model makes sense for politics

Dear Editor: Changing our current funding model for B.C.’s political parties – from one where our elected representatives waste time raising funds to a model where each vote results in a couple of bucks for their party – is a win for all British Columbians.

The people we elect to represent us would have more time to do just that, represent our interests, instead of being beholden to their major contributors. If political parties want more money, all they need to do is get more people to

REQUEST FOR OR LETTERS OF INTEREST vote. Is that not a good thing?

The sun set on the wild west a long time ago.

It’s time the sun set on wild west political fundraising. There’s no downside.

Peter Cech, Burnaby

Spending is the problem Dear Editor: As TransLink and Metro Vancouver try to bamboozle the public with road pricing and congestion charging, it should be known that we do have already a road pricing scheme, and it is called the “carbon tax.” The reason for “carbon taxes” is to tax the motorist by fuel charges, with the monies collected going to transit and by building and offering quality transit entice the motorist to transit, thus reducing carbon emissions.

Not so in B.C., where “carbon taxes” are put into general revenue to cover the former Liberal government’s questionable tax breaks for the wealthy in the province.

The problem with TransLink is not a revenue problem, requiring more money. It is a spending problem, because TransLink spends much, much more for rail transit than it should.

The reason, of course, is our SkyTrain system, which costs up to 10 times more to install than light rail.

Metro politicians had better take off their rosecoloured glasses and see that the real problem with transit is gold-plated SkyTrain planning and construction.

City now Protesters hope more people will turn out in support Continued from page 3 “We’re just really hoping for more people to come and support and hold it down,” she said.

The hope is to turn Camp Cloud into a media station, with two screens, to be able to record and stream live events as they unfold, added Skinteh.

Besides watching the day-

to-day happenings around the property, Urchin admitted she and others have removed about a plastic bag’s worth of orange tree tags.

The tagging was part of a tree assessment Kinder Morgan needed to complete to meet the city’s information requirements for its pipeline project. (As a standard requirement for any

applicant that wishes to remove trees, the city requires a tree management plan which identifies any trees to be removed or retained.)

“I’ve seen many trees get cut for just a few billion dollars and it’s just not worth it.These trees carry strong medicine and will take care of the land here for many, many generations, and they

are not to be touched with,” said Urchin.

In an email to the NOW, Trans Mountain said: “We

have gathered the information we needed to complete the tree assessment, including documenting lo-

cations using GPS and on a site plan, and the tags themselves are no longer required.”

Co-op concerned about future Continued from page 1 Coulombe noted “further details” about the government’s housing strategy will be released this fall.

Kennedy Stewart, NDP MP for Burnaby South, criticized the Liberals and CMHC for not giving a more concrete answer.

“There’s a housing crisis and it’s very acute in Burnaby. ... If your rent doubles, anybody’s rent doubles, they’re not going to be able to stay in their housing, and that’s what’s happening.This is very disruptive for the families there. ...

Not knowing if you’re going to be living in Burnaby in another six months is very stressful, so they (the government) should be clear.”

Thom Armstrong, executive director at the Co-operative Housing Federative of

B.C., said his team is developing strategies to address situations like Post 83’s. He said in Post 83’s case, the land is privately owned by a union pension fund (other co-ops are owned by a municipality).

There are “opportunities” to buy out the landowner, Armstrong told the NOW. “They’re typically not interested in extending a lease; their primary concern is getting the cash value out of the asset, especially in today’s very heated housing market. Our efforts have been around putting together financial packages that will be fair and attractive to the owner of the land, but affordable for the existing members,” he explained.

“What that almost always creates is an equity gap.

That’s what we’d be looking

to the (federal) government to do is to fill that gap in a way that makes the transaction viable and leaves the existing members in place.”

Armstrong added things are somewhat complicated with Post 83 because the union pension fund owns assets at four housing coops – two in Burnaby and two in Coquitlam.

“We’re not sure at this stage whether a deal is possible for any one of the coops or it has to be for all of them.That makes it considerably more challenging.”

Armstrong suspects the national housing strategy could be released this week.

City now Father’s role at heart of case

Continued from page 4 renders him indispensable in the care of his daughter.”

Ohler took exception to that line of reasoning. “…Remembering that this case deals not with inconvenient shifts but with complete physical absence for an extended time period from a spouse and fourmonth-old infant, Envirocon’s assertion that Mr. Suen has ‘no special skill or ability’ to make him indispensable in caring for his daughter so minimizes the role of a father in a child’s care as to run counter to the purposes of the Code,” Ohler said. “In the specific circumstances of this case, this argument could serve to reinforce ideas that fa-

thers are ancillary to their children’s lives; that the brunt of child care belongs to mothers; and that a coupled parent’s obligations are solely the most basic needs of a child with no regard to the co-parenting spouse or a more fulsome recognition of what parenting means in the life and development of a child.”

Ohler said she rejected such notions “vehemently.”

In denying Envirocon’s application, Ohler noted she made no findings of fact, but only recited the submission of both parties relevant to her decision.

Envirocon has 60 days to apply to the B.C. Supreme Court for a judicial review of Ohler’s decision.

Challenge coming?

Continued from page 4 bodies like the human rights tribunal are supposed to follow.

But the decision has been criticized in recent years because it is out of line with other courts of appeal in the country and because it creates a higher threshold for proving family status discrimination than other kinds of discrimination in B.C. The crux of the issue, according to Suen’s lawyer, Fred Wynne, comes down to the words “serious interference” in Campbell River.

“When somebody adds that adjective, we have to assume that adjective is there for a reason,”Wynne told the NOW, “so it makes it more significant than if you said, ‘interference with a parental obligation.’”

In denying Envirocon’s application to have Suen’s case dismissed, B.C. Human Rights Tribunal member Emily Ohler said it’s possible Suen’s complaint could succeed at a hearing even using the Campbell River test.

But she also highlighted recent decisions that call the B.C. test into question, including one handed down by the Supreme Court of Canada in June.

The ruling was on an Alberta mental disability discrimination case involving drug addiction called Stewart v. Elk Valley Coal Corp. (“Elk Valley” for short).

In the decision, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin commented on the idea of tacking adjectives onto the prohibited grounds for

discrimination in human rights codes, saying “Little is gained by adding adjectives to the requirement that the impugned ground be ‘a factor’ in the adverse treatment.”

Ohler said the applicable test for family status “may warrant revisiting” during a hearing into Suen’s case because of the Elk Valley decision.

The case is still in the very preliminary stages, but if it were to make its way to the B.C. Court of Appeal, Wynne believes the circumstances of his client’s complaint could lead to changes in the way family status is dealt with in B.C. “It is potentially a big deal,” he said.

Lia Moody, a partner with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, said a change is due.

“This isn’t going to happen tomorrow, probably not even in the next year,” she said, “but it does seem like the overall momentum is gearing towards a successful challenge to Campbell River. If not with this case, with some other case.”

To challenge Campbell River, Suen’s case would have to go to a hearing and the outcome appealed to B.C. Supreme Court and then the B.C. Court of Appeal.

Alternatively, Envirocon could ask for a judicial review of Ohler’s decision, which would send Suen’s complaint to B.C. Supreme Court before it even went to a hearing.

Help keep kids warm with coat campaign Thirteen Burnaby businesses are among those taking donations for the 22nd annual Coats for Kids drive Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Burnaby businesses are doing their part to keep kids warm this winter.

Thirteen local companies are collecting donations for the 22nd annual Coats for Kids campaign organized by the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association in support of the Lower Mainland and Surrey Christmas bureaus.

From now until Thursday, Dec. 1, folks can drop off any new or gently used kids’ coats, scarves, gloves and blankets at one of the participating businesses in the city.The items will then be donated to the Lower Mainland and Surrey Christmas bureaus and then given to families in need.

“The needs are real, and clothing is often overlooked.

People think of toys and food around this time of year, but keeping kids warm is an essential need for every parent, too; especially during the colder winter months,” said Vancouver

Christmas Bureau executive director Chris Bayliss. “Watching the relief on a parent’s face who finds a size-appropriate coat for their child is a good feeling.”

Last year, more than 3,600 coats and winter accessories were collected.

Donations can be dropped off at the following Burnaby businesses: Abstract Homes and Renovations Inc., 230-4388 Still Creek Dr.; Alture Properties, 104-3991 Henning Dr.; Ames Tile and Stone, 2229 Beta Ave.; Blue Ocean Construction Inc., 1038327 Eastlake Dr.; Boffo Developments Ltd., 2004580 Hastings St.; Caesarstone Canada, 5555 Trapp Ave.; CHBA B.C., 4006400 Roberst St.; Dick’s Lumber and Building Supplies, 2580 Gilmore Ave.; Federated Insurance, 1084595 Canada Way; Mitsubishi Electric Sales Canada Inc., 120-8061 Lougheed Hwy.;TQ Construction Ltd., 106-8988 Fraserton Ct. and 4382 Southwood St.; and WireChief Electric

Warm thoughts: The Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association wants your gently used or new winter coats. Drop them off at participating Burnaby businesses before Dec. 1.

Craft festival returns to Shadbolt Centre

It’s been adding sparkle to the Christmas season for 46 years – and it’s making its return to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts once again this year.

The Burnaby Arts Council is hosting the annual Deer Lake Craft Festival, running Nov. 24 to 26 at Shadbolt Centre.The festival is juried, ensuring that all artisans who enter the show present the highest quality hand-crafted creations, chocolates and other products.

“This festival is a onestop Christmas shopping extravaganza,” says a press release from the arts council.

This year’s festival includes more than 60 artisans: glass blowers, sculptors, potters, woodworkers, fashion and jewelry designers and many more.Visitors will also be able to check out a great selection of seasonal food stuffs such as chocolates, mixed spices, Christmas cakes, cookies, jams, jellies, chutneys and even designer honey.

Among the artisans are a number of returning fa-

vourites, including Violet Finvers with creative glass work, Jane’s Honey Bees with local honey, Sable Shortbread and Coconama Chocolate.

New artisans making their first appearance at the festival include Amo Tierra Botanicals, with all natural cleaning products; Art by Tay, and Joyful Creations, to name a few.

Festival visitors will also be entertained all weekend long by a roster of diverse performers.

New to the stage this year are the Fandango Quartet, Coastal Wolf Pack,VR4U Virtual Reality Gaming, Bradley Barkman, and the Snow Queen from Believe Entertainment, who will get kids up and dancing.

Returning favourites include the Smile Band and Gord Oliver, among others.

There are also many chances to participate in making your own art.

VR4U will allow visits to paint in 3-D space.

“Unleash your creativity with three-dimensional brush strokes, stars, light and even fire,” the release

says. “Your room is your canvas.Your palette is your imagination.The possibilities are endless.”

Volunteers from Burnaby high schools will be on hand to help at Santa’s Workshop, where kids can find face painting, a handson art workshop and cookie decorating – featuring cookies fresh from Sable Shortbread. Kids will be able to decorate their own cookie using a variety of sprinkles, coloured sugars and icing (there will be a limit of one cookie per child).

The arts council notes that many organizations and people help to make the festival possible, including the City of Burnaby, which provides a grant so organizers can pay the entertainers.

“We also greatly appreciate local businesses that have donated gift certificates, gift baskets and dinner vouchers,” the release says. “Many thanks to the artisans who have donated gifts to our very popular BAC basket raffle.”

The grand prize, donated by the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, is a week-

The festival is on Friday, Nov. 24 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 25 and 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ad-

mission is free.

New dance work featured in Shadbolt performance Contemporary dance returns to the Shadbolt Centre stage this week.

Company 605 is bringing its program In Circulation to the stage from Nov. 22 to 25, with 8 p.m. shows nightly.

The program draws from the company’s current repertoire, including excerpts from two recent full-length works, Albatross and Vital Few, plus the premiere of a new short piece.

“Each of these distinct works circle around the same current interests of 605’s artists: individuals united, a shared experience held between separate bodies, and moving as one,” says a write-up about the performance.

Albatross is described as a “driving duet,” created through an international collaboration with Brusselsbased artist German Jauregui.

Vital Few is another collaboration, this one exploring the constant codependence and interrelation between six dancers.

“The work pushes the company into new physical territory to further explore the essence of unison and togetherness,” the write-up says.

The new short piece, yet to be titled, “distills the company’s current research around movement loop-

ing and repetition, exploring its inevitable transformation and deterioration over time.”

For more on Company 605, see www.605collective. com.

Tickets for the Shadbolt Centre shows are $36, or $15 for opening night on Wednesday (tonight). See tickets.shadboltcentre.com or call 604-205-3000.

On the move: Company 605 is bringing its program In Circulation to the stage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts starting tonight (Wednesday).

Get into the spirit of the holidays this Saturday

Edmonds Festival of Lights returns to the community centre for another year of festive, family fun Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The ninth annual Edmonds Festival of Lights returns to Burnaby this weekend.

On Saturday, Nov. 25 from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., the Edmonds Community Centre will transform into a holiday extravaganza.

The afternoon of free, family fun includes festive crafts, entertainment, indoor activities, hot chocolate, and, of course, a visit from Santa.

“There’s face painting, Christmas temporary tattoos, cookie decorating – and the non-profits that come, they do activities for the kids, like decorating bags, making crowns, that kind of thing,” said organizer Lindy McQueen. “It just gets everybody in the spirit early for Christmas. It’s entertaining for the children. It’s just a lot of fun.”

Burnaby firefighters will be outside the community centre serving hot dogs, chips and pop, she added. Non-profits, meanwhile, include the community police advi-

sory committee and the Burnaby Public Library.

“We have entertainment with Rainshadow, with Stephen Scaccia performing with them.”

And don’t forget to look up, McQueen said, as there will be folks on stilts.

“They’ll be wandering around in and out.We’re going to have people dressed up in elf costumes,

teddy bear costumes (and) snowman costumes.”

This year’s Festival of Lights is bigger than last year, according to McQueen, growing in attendance and activities each season.

“We try to get new things because if it becomes same old same old then it’s, ‘Maybe we’ll go, maybe we won’t,’” she said, adding carollers will also be around.

As in previous years, staff at the centre will be handing out activity passports.Those that are filled out will be entered into a draw to light the Christmas tree with Mayor Derek Corrigan and St. Nick.

The Edmonds Festival of Lights originally started as a Santa Claus parade. Organizers found they

weren’t getting as many float entries when the weather didn’t cooperate, so they moved it indoors.

Now, the festival attracts at least 3,000 people.

The Edmonds Community Centre is at 7433 Edmonds St. The tree lighting ceremony will be around 5:15 p.m.

bbot.ca Award Winners con’t from cover the Year, and Business Person of the Year.

Winners of this year’s awards demonstrate the diversity and the depth of businesses and not for-profits who call Burnaby home. Burnaby Board of Trade President and CEO Paul Holden said “The awards are a great opportunity to remember that Burnaby is home to a broad range of organizations and not-for-profits both big and small, that are representative of excellence in business across the board.

We strive to create a business environment that attracts business to our city and where business can thrive and excel and that is on display with these awards.”

This year’s prestigious award for Business of the Year (up to 50 employees) went to Cockney Kings Fish & Chips, an iconic go-to destination in Burnaby for over 50 years

BBN 3 and renowned in the Lower Mainland for its commitment to serving the finest fish and chips using only the best ingredients.

Owners Daniel and Kristi Turner say, “We are so overwhelmed about not only being nominated, but to win is such a great honour.

To all of our staff and customers for being such an important part of life and business.

We are so grateful to be a part of such a great community in the City Of Burnaby.”

Business of the Year was awarded to Traction on Demand, an organization that has embraced innovation in all aspects of its business. Over a few short years Traction has become one of North America’s fastest growing tech companies. Manu Varma, People Person at Traction says, “Traction is very humbled to be recognized as Business of the Year by the Burnaby Board of Trade. Burnaby is a rich and diverse city that continues to grow and provide new jobs. As a business,

we are trying to do things differently. As a certified BCorp, we look at success differently, and are challenging other businesses to reexamine how they define success.”

Lougheed Town Centre won in the category of Community Spirit for having demonstrated outstanding commitment to their community. Kathleen Almeida says “Shopping centres are a natural gathering space and our team is always looking for

ways to best use this venue to support and bring together our community. Whether it’s through raising money for local nonprofits through our events and services, or participating in community events outside of our doors, it’s an honour to be a part of this community.”

Nominations deadline for next year’s awards is June 2019. Visit the bbot.ca for more information. ¾

Hwaseong, South Korea Trade Mission

By Tessa Vanderkop tessa@bbot.ca As part of The Burnaby Board of Trade’s commitment to creating a vibrant and diverse business community, it actively pursues and cultivates international business connections through relationships with Burnaby’s sister cities. Sister city arrangements are a tool to bridge cultural understanding as well as a way to deepen economic opportunity. Burnaby is one of the first cities in Canada to recognize the importance of building these kinds of international relationships with Asian cities and as early as 1965 created a ‘sister city’ relationship with Kushiro in Japan.

In 2007, the Mayor of Burnaby Derek Corrigan visited Hwaseong, South Korea and a mutual understanding was developed that the two cities would enter a formal sister city relationship. Over time the relationship has grown, and in recent months The Burnaby Board of Trade has been working closely with the Hwaseong Chamber of Commerce to create a trade mission, providing our members with the chance to visit South Korea with a view to exploring potential business/export opportunities.

Hwaseong Trade Mission Highlights |February 16-24, 2018 include: · Business matching with local companies from different sectors. · Business receptions in Hwaseong, Seoul and another city hosted by the local Chamber. · Visits to Samsung Innovation Museum, and the Kia factory . · A small business conference in Seoul. · Tours of Hwaseong, Seoul and at least one other city. · Opportunity to buy tickets for an Olympic Hockey game plus at least one more event. · Other official visits and events to be announced in the coming months.

BURNABY SISTER CITIES: KUSHIRO, JAPAN

MESA, ARIZONA

The Sister City relationship between Mesa, Arizona and Burnaby began in 1998 through a relationship between Rotary Clubs in both communities.

2017 ADVOCACY REPORT

By Cory Redekop | cory@bbot.ca

FEDERAL TAX CHANGES CANADA’S ANTI SPAM FOR CORPORATIONS LAW

METROTOWN DOWNTOWN PLAN

ISSUE: Proposed changes to the taxation of small businesses and incorporated individuals could potentially hurt small business and chilled entrepreneurship in Canada.

ISSUE: City of Burnaby was proposing an update to the community plan for the Metrotown area to guide how the area is developed and grows in the future.

BBOT ACTIONS & OUTCOMES: · Shared informative updates with member businesses to keep them up-to-date · Contacted or met with our Burnaby Members of Parliament directly with our concerns about the potential impact of these changes. · Made a formal submission to the Department of Finance calling for the changes to be stopped until a more robust engagement and consideration process is undertaken. · Attended a meeting with Minister Morneau to engage firsthand about the proposed changes and to ask about the potential impacts on our members. · Federal government announced changes to revise its reforms to protect small business and to cut the small business tax rate to help businesses save more money

ISSUE: Canada’s Anti Spam Law (CASL) hampers marketing and sales efforts and is a significant burden on business.

BBOT ACTIONS & OUTCOMES: · Created a policy solution to CASL for the BC Chamber of Commerce and successfully lobbied for its adoption as official BC Chamber policy · Spearheaded—along with the London, Ontario Chamber of Commerce—a national policy for the Canadian Chamber of Commerce to fix CASL by removing the biggest burdens for business · Met directly with all three Burnaby Members of Parliament to explain why CASL needs to be reviewed, amended, and replaced · Published key CASL information for our members on dedicated landing page and hosted several education/training seminars on the topic · Federal government suspends parts of CASL and launches a parliamentary review of the law

BBOT ACTIONS: · Met with senior City of Burnaby staff and with Mayor of Burnaby to discuss the priorities of the business community for the area · Encouraged the City to ensure that the road network is protected and enhanced so businesses can continue to move goods and services efficiently · Highlighted the importance of having a diverse mix of commercial opportunities for all kinds of businesses as the area develops · BBOT endorsed the City’s vision of creating a downtown core in Metrotown as it would encourage significant economic activity and opportunity for business

The Burnaby Board of Trade’s advocacy SUPPORTING WOMEN IN BUSINESS

BC FAMILY DAY

ISSUE: Businesses need more women represented at the board and executive levels

ISSUE: Having BC’s Family Day on a different date than the holidays of other provinces and the USA is an obstacle and irritant for business.

BBOT ACTIONS & OUTCOMES:

BBOT ACTIONS:

· BBOT launches Women’s Business Success Network initiative to develop events, policy and programming for women · BBOT makes the business case for having more women on corporate boards and in executive positions and takes the issue public with various media appearances · BBOT successfully advocates to have its position adopted as a formal policy and priority of the BC Chamber of Commerce, representing 125 other Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce · BBOT makes formal submission to the Parliamentary Committee on the Status of Women outlining ways to encourage businesses to consider more women for board vacancies

· Outlined the business case for why misalignment is a costly inconvenience for many businesses and took the issue public with various media appearances · Advocated directly to the former Minister and with local provincial MLAs to advocate for aligning the Family Day holiday · Engaging with new provincial government to continue to raise this issue

efforts are member-driven.

Policy positions are developed via BBOT member committees and working groups and are approved by the members who form our Board of Directors.

Learning the Ropes of Leadership

By Tessa Vanderkop | tessa@bbot.ca The Access Student Career Development Program, now in its sixth year, has successfully graduated over 300 students helping them gain a competitive edge as they enter the workforce. By providing opportunities to learn soft skills, through workshops, networking, and mentorship, students not only gain confidence but build valuable networks through participation.

Each year Access also invites students to participate on committees led by Access alumnus. These committees offer an opportunity for students to develop their leadership capacity, particularly the chairs as they steer often large groups towards delivering projects.

Featured are three of the young leaders helping their teams navigate deliverables from ideas to action!

KYLE PETTIE | INNOVATION + TECH ENTREPRENEUR COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR

“I like chairing the tech and entrepreneur committee because it’s a great way to pass along the skills and expertise I’ve gained through school, work and the Access Program. I love meeting new people and collaborating with them to create exciting new BBOT events. Tech and Entrepreneurship are both topics that intrigue me and I feel like co-chairing the committee is a great opportunity to expand my knowledge in those areas.”

ENOCH WENG | INNOVATION + TECH ENTREPRENEUR COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR

“I recently graduated from SFU with a BBA Finance concentration. I was part of last year’s Access program, having been part of the Social Committee, and am back for more fun!

I’ve worked in Tech for about a year as a programs coordinator for Wavefront, a national tech accelerator, where I had the opportunity to work alongside numerous startup companies and entrepreneurs. I then decided on a career change, and for now, I am part of Freedom 55 Financial where I am working as a Financial Advisor. My goal is to start my own venture within the next few years and to change the wooooorld!”

ALEXANDRA IRINA | CASE COMPETITION COMMITTEE CHAIR • SKILLS DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP COMMITTEE CHAIR

“I enjoy volunteering because it helps me connect with other professionals, work in teams and develop my leadership skills.

Last year as an Access student I had the opportunity to participate in the Skills Workshop Committee. I learned a lot and wanted to participate again, but this time as a chair so I could continue to develop as a leader and to help other students as they make their way through the program.” ¾

Up Close RENEE CHAU IT PROJECT MANAGER | TELUS BBOT MEMBER, ACCESS COMMITTEE MEMBER| BBOT CHAIR, BURNABY YOUNG PROFESSIONALS NETWORK | BBOT

Garage Living | Owner Lance Sparling Why Burnaby?

We needed to find one central location in the Lower Mainland that would be convenient for clients to come and see our Showroom and after a few months of research we focused in on Burnaby with convenient access to Hwy 1.

membership

What makes your product unique?

We design and transform garages into more organized and finished spaces that actually become another highly active room in the house that just happens to have a car or two in it.

What is your favourite holiday tradition?

We love to convert our home into a Holiday wonderland with over 10,000 outdoor lights and 70 Santa’s inside all decorated and have the team over for a Year end celebration.

Mon Paris Patisserie | Owner Elena Krasnova Why Burnaby?

I wanted to be on the quieter street but still with enough traffic. Also I live in Burnaby and having business close to home was important. When I saw the new Beresford street near Metrotown it was clear right away it was a perfect spot. It didn’t have too much car traffic but a lot of foot traffic which felt very European to me.

What makes your product unique?

We make everything from scratch using high quality ingredients and everything is fresh every day.I wanted to introduce Canadians to the high pastries and desserts I experienced while living in Paris. I wanted for people in Vancouver to have the same European experience.

What is your favourite Christmas confection?

Christmas logs! So many tastes and forms to experience with! We have two for this season: one is rolled Japanese biscuit with cherry and vanilla cream and another is out higher end chocolate/chestnut logs.

City now #WILDLIFEWEDNESDAY

VIETNAM FEATHERED FRIENDS: Take a look at the beak of this beautiful red crossbill. Notice the criss-

cross? This isn’t a defect. These colourful finches have a unique beak which they use to forage pinecones and conifer cones for seeds – which they can eat a total of 3,000 a day. A rarer sight on the West Coast, the crossbill is currently in the midst of its fall/winter migration south where it typically crosses through the Interior and Alberta. However, due to the wildfires this past summer, many birds are opting towards the coast for its lush greenery, but unfortunately that has resulted in an unprecedented influx of birds at the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. in Burnaby.

Communitynow Veterans’ society earns award Founded in 1952 to provide affordable housing to veterans of the Second WorldWar, today the New Chelsea Society continues to support veterans and active military members.

For its dedication, a nonprofit received the 2017Veterans Ombudsman commendation award.

The Burnaby-based society was one of four groups recognized for its service to veterans. It was formed 65 years ago by five Lower Mainland branches of the Royal Canadian Legion.

“Its mandate was to provide affordable housing to veterans ofWorldWar II and their families,” society executive director Pat Buchannon told the NOW. “Over the years, we’ve grown extensively.”

Today, the society runs 20 housing complexes in five cities in the region, including two independent seniors residences and four family housing complexes in Burnaby.The group also runsWinch House inVancouver, which serves as a home away from home for veterans, military, Legion members and first responders and their families while

they’re in the area for medical treatment.

Buchannon and society president Don McPhadyen travelled to Ottawa in October to accept the award.

“It’s quite prestigious.

They have quite a few nominations across the country, and they selected four people or organizations,” Buchannon said. “There was one from New Brunswick, one from Quebec and one from Ontario, so we’re the only ones from the west that got it. It kind of acknowledges our efforts from a lifetime.”

New Chelsea Society was nominated by the B.C.

Non-Profit Housing Association.

When asked why he thought the society won the award, Buchannon said he believed it was for the society’s dedication over the past six decades.

“I think it was really for our longtime service and support for veterans. Housing veterans in need, and we really honour our connection with the Royal Canadian Legion,” he said. “It was veterans that started up this organization, and we’ve really just carried the torch forward.”

Knights strike early to advance to BC semis

Standout efforts on both sides of the ball carry No. 2-ranked St.Thomas More past Notre Dame

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

If there were any concerns last week’s bye could have left the No. 2-ranked St. Thomas More Knights a little rusty entering Saturday’s Subway Bowl quarterfinal, they were quickly put to rest.

Like those who leave their shopping until Christmas Eve, the Knights wasted little time browsing and loaded up their basket by overwhelming the Notre Dame Jugglers 32-13, advancing to Saturday’s semifinal at B.C. Place.

It was a well-rounded result where the defence and offence meshed like a bowl full of Lucky Charms – all hearts, clovers and rainbows.

“It was huge. Once we got a couple of scores up on them, it forced (Notre Dame) out of their game (plan),” remarked STM coach Steve De Lazzari.

“They’re a great running team and they had to throw the ball – and that’s one of our strengths, our secondary. It’s very good when the other team is putting the ball in the air.”

Their first touchdown came just six plays into the game, as the Knights grabbed the lead when Grade 12 student Joel Pielak, who missed the previous four games to injury, plowed through the defence and barrelled 33 yards into the end zone.

The drive covered just 55 yards – not including Mateo Carteri’s 20-yard kickoff return – and 2:17 off the clock.

Driving force: St. Thomas More’s Joel Pielak, above They were nearly as quick with their centre, capped the team’s first possession with a 33-yard next major – an 11-play march on their touchdown. At right, the school’s supporters brought a third possession, with quarterback Dario banner to help inspire the team and pay tribute to coach Ciccone taking it in on a five-yard keep- Bernie Kully, who passed away last month. er to make it 12-0.The Grade 11 pivot PHOTOS HOWARD TSUMURA, USED WITH PERMISSION OF VARSITYLETTERS.CA would complete an 11-yard TD pass to Connor Hayek just before halftime, and carry in two other touchdowns to round really see him coming.” out the offence.

For the Grade 12 rusher, it wasn’t a case Pielak was slotted in for star rusher/lineof being adequate. He knew the opportunibacker Tyler Eckert, who missed his second ty was golden, and it was a matter of being straight game due to illness. Eckert, whose ready for it. numbers put him third in league play with “There was pressure, obviously, to per796 yards and 13 touchdowns, was sorely form,” Pielak said after he rushed for 130 missed. But De Lazzari said it’s the nature yards. “Tyler’s our star running back, so of the team that when one goes down, anobviously I had to perform at his level. other one comes to the forefront.

There was a lot of pressure but I think we “(Pielak) was (huge) and we needed that. managed to pull it off.”

first quarter.The Jugglers, who posted a 4-3 record during the regular season, didn’t record a first down until midway through the second quarter.

Up 19-0 at halftime, STM didn’t stray far

from its bend-very-little defence and led 25-0 after Ciccone’s eight-yard scramble, before Notre Dame got on the board with a 90-yard kick return late in the third quarter.

Burnaby North sr. boys thrive as volleyball longshots

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Seeded as a darkhorse, the Burnaby North senior boys Vikings spiked a few rivals’ hopes en route to finishing third at last week’s Lower Mainland AAA volleyball championships.

It earned them a trip to Langley, where they’ll continue the journey at the B.C. tournament next week.

As the third-place squad coming out of the Burnaby-New West league, the Vikings were assigned a tough road to start the Low-

er Mainlands. It proved to be the right route for the upstarts.

By beating host R.A. McMath 3-2 last Thursday, Burnaby North extended its run as longshots now to the provincials. “(The players and I) knew that if they performed their best they had a chance to challenge many of the teams at the Lower Mainlands,” Burnaby North coach Barton Lim said. “The boys really displayed a ‘never give up’ attitude as we really had some challenges both on and off the court.”

Those challenges included little

momentum heading into the tournament, after losing their final two league games and finishing third in the league playoffs.

But they began the tournament with a confidence-affirming 3-1 win over No. 8-seed Sir Winston Churchill, before suffering a 3-1 setback to No. 1 David Thompson in the quarter-finals.

Being a double-knockout format, it meant the Vikings had no wiggle room the rest of the way.

They rebounded and eliminated Burnaby-New West rival Burnaby Central 3-0, despite suffering

an injury to middle Alex Haight late in the final set without any reserves. Haight was forced to play with a turned ankle for the final point, locked up on TedYoon’s kill.

That put them against McMath with just six players, but a gutsy effort from liberoYoshi Inomata, who moved to middle to replace Haight, helped give the underdogs a hard-fought 3-2 win and a guaranteed top-four finish.

“The boys never gave up and were more consistent in earning the victory,” remarked Lim. It also earned them a rematch

against Thompson, who at the last provincial rankings were placed 14th. North kept the momentum going, serving up a surprising 3-0 shutout to finish third overall.

Picking up an all-star honour was offside Ryan Hum, while Devon Alsop and captain Justen Chau also made major contributions.

The provincials are slated for Nov. 29 to Dec. 2 at the Langley Events Centre. Burnaby North, as Lower Mainland No. 3, lines up in a pool with Centennial, David Thompson and Reynolds.

Continued from page 37 As big a role as the offence played, the defence continued its position as the Knights’ largest asset in a 10-0 season.

The Jugglers, who averaged nearly 30 points a game during the year, didn’t get a first down until the second quarter and were held off the scoreboard until late in the third quarter.

The likes of B.C. AAA defensive MVP Sam Steele, Jonah Fridfinnson and Nathan Nacario set the tone and were ably supported by a number of key contributions.

With a strong show of fan support and a large banner proclaiming STM “Kully Tough,” the motivation and inspiration was all around.

De Lazzari said the team remains imprinted with the desire and heart that coach Bernie Kully helped instill

Fox, which capitalized on a poorly executed late punt by Seaquam last week to advance to the semifinal, is well-stocked with athletic skill.

“I would say (the key) with them is stopping their running game, their twoprong attack with quarterback (Jevaun) Jacobsen and (Jaden Severy),” said De Lazzari. “Just playing team defence is going to be really important and using our smarts, intelligence and our speed and physicality all come together.”

A rematch just adds another dimension to it all, said Pielak.

“Obviously, they’re going to be looking for revenge on us, but I think as long as everyone gives their whole heart into it we’ll be good to go,” said Pielak.

How to Avoid the New Mortgage Stress Test

#'$5!#) * &$ 1+31 & 10%

Home buyers in BC and across Canada are bracing themselves for strict new qualification rules coming into force in January for mortgage applicants who have more than 20% as a down payment.

Attached Detached

Attached Detached

The stress test will now require all new applicants for mortgages at federally regulated financial institutions – such as banks and monoline lenders – to incomequalify at the Bank of Canada posted interest rate, which tends to be notably higher than the rate mortgage-holders will actually pay.

The move was put in place by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), which is the federal agency in charge of maintaining the stability of the Canadian banking system, and is intended to prevent consumers taking on too much mortgage debt.

However, some mortgage lenders – including credit unions such as Vancity, Coast Capital and Prospera – do not come under OSFI’s jurisdiction, as they are provincially regulated by the Financial Institutions Commission (FICOM). Credit unions in BC are not required to “stress test” their mortgage applicants in the way banks are.

Therefore, a buyer can get a mortgage with a credit union and income-qualify at the rate they will be paying, which may give them more purchasing power.

Provincial regulators stand firm When asked by REW whether FICOM

Those buyers will have to undergo the same “stress test” that was introduced a year ago for buyers who have less than 20% down.

The new policy is said by mortgage professionals to reduce Canadians’ home-purchasing power by around 20%, as the higher interest rate will reduce the maximum mortgage that buyers will be able to borrow.

TOP SALE PRICE*** Attached Detached BC intends to follow OSFI’s lead in implementing a “stress test,” Frank Chong, acting superintendent of financial institutions at FICOM, confirmed that there were no plans to do so. He issued the following statement to REW: “FICOM has reviewed the new requirements from the federal bank regulator (OSFI) regarding requirements for residential mortgage qualification.

These changes come into effect in January 2018 for federally regulated financial institutions but will not apply to provincially regulated institutions like credit unions now regulated by FICOM. Because some borrowers will not be able to qualify for mortgages with banks, they may migrate to credit unions or private lenders where qualifying is less stringent. FICOM has a residential mortgage guideline in place for credit unions and regularly reviews that directive to determine if credit unions are managing risks effectively. In the coming months, we will be consulting with credit unions and monitoring developments in residential mortgage lending to protect the

interests of consumers and credit union members.

“We will continue to assess the situation, but no changes are contemplated in provincial requirements at this time.”

Not necessarily better Alisa Aragon, mortgage expert at Bridgestone Financing Pros with DLC Mountain View Ltd., confirmed that credit unions do not qualify applicants at the higher rate, but offered a warning to buyers before they rush out to apply for credit union mortgages.

“Credit unions could be an alternative to other lenders if you don’t qualify with the stress test, but in certain cases the rates might be higher at credit unions, or the income ratios might be tighter. While you might qualify at a credit union, our job as mortgage experts is to get the best mortgage with the best rates and terms, whether that is at a credit union, banks, monoline lender or private lender.”

OBITUARIES CAUNT, Thomas Richard June 15, 1937 - November 9, 2017 We are sad to announce the loss of our much-loved husband, father, grandfather and brother. Richard passed away peacefully at St. Michael’s Hospice, Burnaby, with his family gathered around him. After a successful battle with cancer in 2015, he endured a 2-year decline with side effects from treatment, culminating in several small strokes. Richard retired from 34 years of a teaching career to devote time to his family to whom he was an example of love, respect, generosity and kindness. He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Margaret (Grieve), 4 married children and 5 grandchildren. Also, his sister Eleanor Brook of Silverdale, WA, USA., 1 niece and 1 nephew.

Our thanks to Dr. Paletta at RCH and the wonderful caregivers at St. Michael’s. There will be no formal service at Richard’s request. A family celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in his memory to: BC Cancer Foundation, 150 - 686 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1G1.

Condolences may be left at www.kearneyfs.com Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel

HORAN, Ward Douglas August 9, 1954 to November 9, 2017 Ward passed away peacefully at VGH with his family by his side. He was 63. Ward was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, the second child of Hal and Sue Horan who have both predeceased him. After moving several times, the family settled in North Vancouver when Ward was 13. He attended Argyle Secondary School in Lynn Valley and played hockey at the North Shore Winter Club. After graduating, Ward went to SFU and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree.

In his twenties, Ward hired on with the CN Railroad and made a career as an engineer. He worked for 35 years on the trains at a job he loved. Ward lived in Kamloops and Burnaby, before settling 7 years ago on the Quay in New Westminster. From his apartment he could see and hear the trains go by several times a day. After retiring Ward spent his summers at his cabin on Beaver Lake in the Okanagan. There he liked to fish and to dog sit for friends and family.

Coming from a large family, over the years, Ward enjoyed many good times at special occasions. He always had an invite and he brought the best desserts.

And wherever he lived he would find a local, favorite Pub for a beer and a game of Keno. At the Paddlewheeler, Oliver Twist and Woody’s he made good friends who were like a second family to him.

Ward was a generous person who was always happy to help a relative or friend. He will be greatly missed by his fours sisters, Wanda (Lloyd) Manchester, Wynn (Dwayne) Runka, Catherine (Dana Huggard) Horan, Caryl Horan and brother Clay (Janice) Horan. And by his 11 nieces and nephews, Brooke, Lee (Jadie), Ashley (Dustin), Brett (Colleen), Colin (Xuan), Danielle (Matthew), Craig, Rachel (Spencer), Courtney, Cate and Cassidy (Abe). And by his 11 great nieces and nephews, his aunts, uncles, cousins and by all his friends.

Ward loved dogs; in lieu of flowers please donate to the SPCA. A ‘Celebration of Life’ will be held for Ward on December 10th from 12:00 to 4:00 PM at the Greentree Village Community Centre, 4295 Garden Grove Dr, Burnaby, BC.

FLEMING, John Matthew It is with great sorrow that we announce John’s passing on October 30, 2017. John was predeceased by his father, John S. Fleming and leaves behind his loving mother, Elsie, sisters Cathy (Danny), and Brenda (Edward), as well as his adored niece and nephew, Kaylee and Seth. Cousins Sharon, John, and Susan held a special place in his heart, as did family in Kamloops and Scotland. A remembrance service will be held on December 2, 2017 at 1:00pm at Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel, 219 6th Street, New Westminster. Donations in his memory may be made to the Diabetes Society, or charity of your choice.

John, you were truly loved. Mizpah.
