PUBLIC SAFETY
New towers foul up emergency radios Firefighters and police want a bylaw that ensures new buildings will be required to include radio amplification systems By Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Burnaby’s top cop and fire chief are calling for a bylaw that will ensure their radios work properly in the city’s big new highrises. The design and materials going into shiny new apartment towers – including rebar, metal studs, metal-coated insulation and low emissivity glass – impede digital radio signals used by police, firefighters and ambulance personnel responding to emergencies, according to a report presented at the city’s public safety committee recently. “The digital frequency works well until attenuation occurs, but when the signal strength decreases to a certain point it reaches what is known as the ‘digital cliff’ and the radio signal is lost,” states the report. That happened to Burnaby firefighters just over a year ago as they were fighting an intense blaze in the underground parkade of a condo tower under construction at 4567 Lougheed Hwy. in Brentwood. “Communication, we had none,” Burnaby fire Chief Joe Robertson told the NOW. “That was extremely dangerous for our people. It’s part of what we do, but, in that particular case, if you needed help and you couldn’t communicate, that’s where we have a real problem.” Big towers can also create an impenetrable barrier for radio signals (called a “building shadow”) if they happen to be between a portable radio carried by a police officer or firefighter and a base radio. “It typically prevents any communication in these shadowed areas,” states the report. “Digital radios were not being used by emergency responders when

The lack of those systems can prevent emergency personnel from being able to communicate clearly with each other.

Deanne Burleigh, the report says the situation is especially dangerous for firefighters and police officers, “who rely on their portable radios as a lifeline,” but it also poses a threat to public safety in emergency situations. The report calls on the city to develop

NOTICE OF DISPOSITION, NOTICE OF ASSISTANCE, AND NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS Metro Vancouver Regional District Disposition of Parkland within the Boundaries of the City of Abbotsford Bylaw No. 1256, 2018
Parkland Disposition
Notice is hereby given pursuant to section 286 of the Local Government Act that Metro Vancouver Regional District (“MVRD”) proposes to adopt the bylaw referred to above (“Parkland Disposition Bylaw”) for the purpose of the disposition of all interests in parkland within the boundaries of the City of Abbotsford, with the exception of Aldergrove Regional Park. The legal descriptions of the lands proposed to be transferred to the City of Abbotsford (“Abbotsford Parklands”) are set out at the bottom of this notice. The total area of the Abbotsford Parklands is approximately 293 hectares. The proposed transfer of the Abbotsford Parklands to the City of Abbotsford is in connection with proposed changes to MVRD’s regional parks service, which will mean that the City of Abbotsford will cease to be a participant in the MVRD regional parks service. The City of Abbotsford and its predecessor the District of Matsqui have participated in the regional parks service since 1967. The regional parks levy payable by the City of Abbotsford to MVRD will cease if Abbotsford ceases to be a participant in MVRD’s regional parks service. It is proposed that MVRD will transfer the Abbotsford Parklands to the City of Abbotsford for nominal consideration, and will make a one-time payment to the City of Abbotsford of $1,050,000. In addition to the Transfer of the Abbotsford Parklands to the City of Abbotsford, MVRD will surrender its lease from the City of Abbotsford and its sub-lease from the Fraser Valley Regional District, both with respect to lands in Sumas Mountain Interregional Park. The legal descriptions of the leased lands and the sub-leased lands proposed to be surrendered are set out at the bottom of this notice. The total area of the leased and sub-leased lands is approximately 659 hectares.

Pipeline could reverse decades of work Building pipeline through Brunette conservation area will impact fish habitat and set back reclamation efforts By Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
Running a pipeline through the Brunette River Conservation Area will undo some of the decadeslong work streamkeepers have done to restore Burnaby’s waterways. That’s according to Mark Angelo, former chair of the BCIT Rivers Institute, who spoke at the National Energy Board’s oral hearings this past week. He was part of the City of Burnaby’s panel of witnesses. The meetings were part of the NEB’s regulatory process and will determine the exact location of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline route within the approved corridor.They give the energy regulator an opportunity to hear from affected landowners, such as the City of Burnaby, who have issues with the route. “In recent decades, we have made immense progress in Burnaby in terms of healing our waterways and protecting key natural spaces,” Angelo told the board, noting the Brunette’s is one of the “most compelling” river restoration stories in Canada. “But to now build a pipeline across the Brunette River Conservation Area utilizing an opencut methodology to cross streams – that will most certainly detract from that.” He talked about how during the city’s early years of “unbridled develop-
ment,” streams and creeks were devoid of fish. Angelo gave the example of the Brunette River, which was “severely damaged” by railway construction in the early 1900s and was polluted from a mix of industrial run-off and sewage. Today, it’s a different story.The river and its surrounding creeks are home to chum and coho salmon as well as the endangered Nooksack dace. “We’ve had some very significant success in rebuilding and restoring salmon stocks,” said Angelo, pointing to the major return of chum salmon to Still Creek in 2012. According to the local streamkeeper, the opencut method for construction will physically disrupt and damage both riparian and in-stream habitat within Lost Creek and Holmes Creek. “It’s concerning that Trans Mountain has opted not to utilize trenchless directional drilling methodologies, which I believe should be used when crossing sensitive stream environments.They are less disruptive and less invasive,” he said. According to Trans Mountain witness Randy Brake, the company initially proposed to use horizontal directional drilling (HDD) in the Brunette River Conservation Area. “We didn’t feel that we had the space in certain ar-

He said the company limits HDD construction as
much as possible and only uses it where “absolutely necessary.” Michael Davies, vicepresident of operations for Kinder Morgan Canada, said, when the proposed route didn’t align with the existing pipeline, the company tried to follow existing infrastructure.With the Brunette section of the route, it follows the CNBNSF railway line. (BNSF Railways owns the land
within the Brunette Conservation Area.) According to Jim Wolf, a senior long-range planner with the City of Burnaby, the city designated the lands as park/conservation in 1990 as part of the Cariboo Heights Community Plan. Council also directed staff to add the land to its parkland acquisition program and to write to BNSF to inquire regarding the
city’s interest in purchasing the lands. “This was done and, to date, the company has not indicated its interest in selling the lands,” he wrote in an email to the NOW. “However, the area was designated in the official community plan in 2014 under the park and recreation land use designation and remains in the parkland acquisition program.”
Streamkeeper calls it ‘a recipe for disaster’ By Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
A local streamkeeper is warning against the dangers of relocating creeks on Burnaby Mountain this spring. As part of its $7.4-billion Trans Mountain expansion project, Kinder Morgan plans to move Silver Creek and Eagle Creek tributaries into new culverts. (The tributaries are currently culverted for some or all of their length through the Burnaby terminal.) Work is scheduled to start no earlier than April, according to Lexa Hobenshield, Kinder Morgan Canada’s external relations
manager. But Burnaby resident John Preissl is calling it “a recipe for disaster.” “It’s really bad at that time,” he said. “It should be done in the summer months (August and September) when there’s less chance of sedimentation and silt flowing downstream into the salmon habitat itself. Basically, when there’s no flow in the creek.” Should the skies open up during construction, Preissl said there will be runoff from where crews are working, which can negatively impact the fish at the bottom of the mountain. “Not crying wolf here. It happened all last year. Everybody was caught off (guard) by the water
flows, and we had so many (environmental monitor) failures, I’ve lost count,” he said. “(Sediment) smothers the eggs before they even hatch. If they do hatch, (with) the lack of oxygen, they usually don’t last long.” The streamkeeper said he has no faith in Kinder Morgan’s ability to ensure sediment doesn’t flow into the creeks. He pointed to spring 2016, when he noticed muddy sentiment spilling into Eagle Creek as a result of construction at the Burnaby tank farm. At the time, Kinder Morgan said it had inspected the work site and observed no issues with sedimentation. Both Silver Creek tributaries
will be diverted into separate culverts, and the Eagle Creek tributaries will be diverted into one culvert with a short diversion culvert connecting the two, states Trans Mountain’s website. According to Hobenshield, regardless of the timing, Kinder Morgan will abide by its water management plan and erosion and sediment control plan. “We will also have environmental monitoring during construction and reclamation of inlet and outlet areas right after the diversion to minimize risk of soil erosion,” she wrote in an email to the NOW. “Other mitigation measures include pre-construction environ-
mental resource protection; the prevention of construction-related materials or debris from entering watercourses and; the installation of erosion and sediment control measures to prevent surface water from entering natural drainage systems, watercourses or wetlands.” That’s not good enough for Preissl. “It got to a point last year, this last winter, that we had so many serious washouts in all the creeks, mainly Silver Creek and Stoney Creek, I was pre-warning the department of fisheries and oceans, the city and the developers, that this was going to happen, and it did happen,” he said.

THE PIPELINE
Province adds environmental hurdles for Kinder Morgan Government says it wants to place restrictions on the increased transportation of diluted bitumen until further studies can be done By Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
The B.C. government has thrown another wrench into Kinder Morgan’s plans to twin its Edmonton-to-Burnaby pipeline. On Tuesday, the province said it wants to place restrictions on the increased transportation of diluted bitumen – by rail or pipeline – until further studies on the oil can be done. The Trans Mountain expansion project will triple the capacity of the company’s current pipeline, transporting up to 890,000 barrels of “dilbit” per day. (B.C.’s NDP-Green alliance has been a strong opponent of the project and has vowed to use “every tool available” to defend B.C.’s coast. Before the New Democrats came to power, the B.C. Liberals issued Kinder Morgan an environmental certificate and said the company had met its five conditions.) “The potential for a di-
luted bitumen spill already poses significant risk to our inland and coastal environment and the thousands of existing tourism and marine harvesting jobs,” said George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, in a press release. “British Columbians rightfully expect their government to defend B.C.’s coastline and our inland waterways, and the economic and environmental interests that are so important to the people in our province, and we are working hard to do just that.” The province will set up an independent advisory panel that will make recommendations on if and how heavy oils can be safely transported and cleaned up, if spilled. “While the advisory panel is proceeding, the province is proposing regulatory restrictions to be placed on the increase of diluted bitumen transportation,” noted the release. B.C. plans to meet with First Nations, industry,
local governments and environmental groups in the coming weeks and months to gather feedback. In an emailed statement, Trans Mountain spokesperson Ali Hounsell said the company will “actively participate” in province’s engagement process. “The expansion project’s approval by the Government of Canada followed a rigorous and lengthy regulatory process that included a thorough examination of the pipeline and products being shipped, and there are conditions on the project from both the National Energy Board and the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office related to diluted bitumen,” she wrote. The transportation restrictions are part of a handful of other measures the province announced to improve preparedness, response and recovery from potential spills. The other measures include: establishing re-
FRESH CHOICES
sponse times for spills; setting up geographic response plans to identify sensitive, natural, cultural or significant economic resources at risk from spills; requiring spillers to provide some form of restitution for the impacts of spills in spaces like parks, forests and beaches; and broadening the province’s authority to respond to marine spills. The federal government approved the Trans Mountain project in November 2016, on the recommendation of the National Energy Board (NEB). The NEB attached 157 conditions to its approval. Kinder Morgan originally set its pipeline inservice date to December 2019, but it has since been pushed back to December 2020 as a result of permitting issues. Hounsell did not provide comment when asked if the province’s new rules will further delay the project.

The City of Burnaby will spend $450,000 on a full traffic signal for a notorious Cariboo Road crosswalk. The city assessed the crossing at the bottom of Cariboo Hill in November and determined it didn’t get enough foot traffic to warrant a light, but three crashes there over the course of four days prompted an about-face. Fernanda Girotto, a 15-year-old exchange student from Brazil, was hit and killed at the crossing on Jan. 17, sparking outrage from residents who have warned of safety concerns in the area since 2004. A cyclist was hit near the crossing the following day, and another pedestrian was seriously injured there in a

hit-and-run two days later. The city rushed to install safety improvements, including a pedestrian-activated flashing light. And, on Monday, city council approved a plan to install a full traffic signal. The plan also calls for a bus stop on the east side of Cariboo Road to be either
removed or relocated. “… even though (the crosswalk) didn’t meet appropriate warrants and it didn’t qualify for a full traffic light, it’s very important that we recognize the reality of the situation … ,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said. The full traffic light will be installed this year.

Opinion now OUR VIEW
It’s not up to Facebook, it’s up to all of us Two weeks ago, the residents of Hawaii spent 38 minutes expecting to die. They were told – via text – that a ballistic missile was streaking toward them. Last week, a North Vancouver man was told to pay the Canada Revenue Agency $3,000 in bitcoin. He paid. On Wednesday, a Facebook user announced that our sister newspaper, the Victoria Times Colonist, was about to close. For the record: the
Times Colonist isn’t closing, the North Vancouver man was duped by a scam artist (CRA does not yet accept cryptocurrency), and there was no missile heading to Hawaii. The Hawaii incident is particularly revealing because the scare would have ended earlier if not for one crucial detail: the governor forgot his Twitter password. The editor-in-chief at the Victoria Times Colonist did try to squeeze the
breath out of the closure rumour by commenting on Facebook. He was blocked. There was a time when even the most determined liar could only stretch the truth as fast as his lips could move. But in our age of social and anti-social media, every deceiver, prankster and befuddled commenter with a Wi-Fi connection can distort, antagonize and flat-out lie at a speed the imagination cannot hold.
At their most coordinated, these lies can shift the pillars of democracy.We note that Facebook finally admitted they were “far too slow to recognize” interference during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. And now Facebook is changing its algorithms to give real news, and local news, a bit of a higher profile in our “news” feeds. But Facebook can’t force feed us and our Facebook “friends” reality. Let’s face
it – if we all want to just see cat videos and remain blissfully unaware of how the other half of the world lives, we’ll find a way to do it. And we won’t be able to blame Russia.The vast majority of folks are feasting on the cotton candy of information available online without any urging from Russian trolls and agents. Often we’d simply prefer not to know the truth behind things.The fact is that it’s up to us – not Facebook
– to support the truth and get off of the Facebook fastfood assembly line. If we’re going to stop social media from fomenting a golden age of yellow journalism, we all need to usher in a culture of skepticism, reserving judgment, and thinking before we click. Regardless of political affiliation, we all need to subscribe to one policy: honesty.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Who will win the Liberal contest? The B.C. Liberal leadership race concludes this week, so let’s take one last crack at handicapping the contest.The race seems to be limping towards conclusion. It has been a quiet affair, unable to attract much media attention since the stakes aren’t as high as the last time they went through this exercise (their 2011 contest was electing a premier, not merely an Opposition leader). Last week saw some signs of life, however. A debate hosted by Global TV (which I moderated) saw sparks fly many times and may have provided some clues about where the candidates stand versus each other. Let’s take a look at them: DIANNE WATTS She was the target of more aggressive questions than any of her rivals, which may suggest they consider her to be in first-place on the first count (the party is using a preferential ballot, which will likely mean there will be several “counts” after the last place candidate drops after each count and their supporters’ second and third choices are distributed). Her chief strength is she is a complete outsider, which means she can’t be tagged with any of the misdeeds or controversies associated with the B.C. Liberal government. But her outsider status can also be a big negative, since party members – and not the general public – are the only ones voting (she also did poorly in the debates).
TODD STONE Could be the “compromise” candidate who benefits most from all those second choice ballots. His relative youth compared to the others assists his argument that the party must “renew” itself and become younger, but he’s also associated with the previous government’s problems (hello ICBC) and that may hurt him. MIKE DE JONG The former finance minister has gobs of experience and performed well in that portfolio. But when it comes to political baggage, de Jong has a multi-piece Samsonite set: ICBC, B.C. Hydro, money-laundering in casinos …it’s a long list. ANDREW WILKINSON Another former cabinet minister who scores highest on the cerebral meter. But he may have overdone his attacks on his rivals in that last debate, and that may cost him some secondand third-choice support. MICHAEL LEE The dark horse. A newcomer, he has clean hands from the party’s time in government and he’s signed up the most members, but are they confined to a relatively few ridings which may make it hard to win enough “points” around the province to emerge victorious? Still, if he can remain on the ballot for a while he’s one to keep an eye on.

Starter’s pistol scatters shoppers
Three gunshots rang out in Brentwood Mall in early January, sending holiday bargain shoppers scrambling for cover.The shots were fired by one of two robbers after the pair pulled off a smash-and-grab heist at a jewelry store in the mall.They took off with five diamond rings and fired shots into the air from what turned out to be a starter’s pistol.Witnesses managed to get the licence plate number of the getaway vehicle, but the plate turned out to have been stolen from the car of a mall employee.

Opinionnow Pipeline is morally wrong Dear Editor: Risks outweigh benefits (Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 19) This letter states the truth of the matter with regard to the Kinder Morgan pipeline project. As a former senior industrial hygienist involved with coordinating the enforcement of industrial health and safety regulations in B.C., I am particularly concerned with the fact that Transport Canada, which is responsible for enforcing safety regulations under the Canada Shipping Act, appears to have sat on its hands with regard to providing a rigorous assessment of specific emergency plans in the event of an ocean spill involving diluted bitumen. As stated in regulations governing either industrial or shipping operations, those emergency plans must adequately provide for the containment and disposal of hazardous materials in the event of a spill. With this project, not only is the spill response capacity over time grossly limited, as the letter states, the scientific information plainly supports the fact that it is also highly problematic as diluted bitumen sinks in salt water when battered by waves and mixed with sediments. In other words, one could hardly put together a more effective scenario for a total catastrophe in the event of a major ocean spill. Regardless of how much money Prime Minister Justin Trudeau throws at the problem, the technology is simply not available for the adequate cleanup of such a spill. It is therefore not surprising that, in 2015, Kinder Morgan worked diligently to seek and obtain a National Energy
Board ruling which permitted the corporation to keep the full details of its emergency plans secret. I believe British Columbians and Canadians at large must wake up to the fact that we are dealing with a whitewashed, stonewalling situation where a project has been pushed through which does not comply with spill response safety regulations, and which presents a very real and extreme danger to our West Coast environment. Not only do the risks outweigh the benefits, I believe it is a situation which is ethically, morally and legally delinquent. John Sbragia, Burnaby

SAM SULLIVAN The biggest longshot.The ex-Vancouver mayor has stirred the pot with some provocative policy ideas (such as legalizing all drugs) but he’s expected to be the first candidate to drop off the ballot. But he came across as the friendliest (and funniest) candidate at the last debate. Party members begin voting Thursday and we should know the winner just past 6 p.m. on Saturday. I won’t predict a winner (I don’t think anyone has a clue how this will end), but I will predict this: I don’t see Premier John Horgan losing much sleep over any of the possible outcomes.

City now Fire sparks evacuation at apartment building
WANTE WANTED 30 PEOPLE WITH HEARING LOSS
Qualified Participants Needed for Technology Field Test
Kitchen fire was quickly brought under control About 11 residents were evacuated from a Burnaby apartment building last Wednesday, Jan. 20 because of a kitchen fire. Burnaby firefighters responded to reports of a fire
in an Edmonds-area apartment at 6971 Linden Ave. at about 3:20 p.m. A stove fire in a thirdfloor suite had spread to kitchen cabinets, according to the fire department.
NOW Enrolling
Eight trucks and 27 firefighters responded to the two-alarm blaze, and the fire was knocked down quickly, but a family of three living in the suite was displaced.
Fire department wants rules changed for highrise towers Continued from page 1 existing buildings unless they were undergoing a major renovation. “The application of bylaw requirements at the building phase for new construction will create the least financial impact for development while ensuring adequate communications for first responders in the future,” states the report.
That being said, Robertson would like to see the city approach builders after the bylaw is passed to request they voluntarily install amplification systems in towers already under construction. The fire chief said about 100 new highrises will go up in Burnaby over the next 10 years. Four B.C. municipalities already have emer-
gency radio amplification bylaws on the books (Surrey, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and the Township of Langley), while Vancouver is in the process of creating one. White Rock and North Vancouver don’t have bylaws but include radio amplification in their development process.

TAKE NOTICE THAT the City Council proposes to adopt Bylaw No. 13833 cited as “Burnaby Highway Closure Bylaw No. 1, 2018” pursuant to Section 40 of the Community Charter. The purpose of the proposed bylaw is to close and remove the dedication of certain portions of highway – closure of a portion of unopened lane allowance between 7550 Rosewood Street and 7210 Mary Avenue (all that portion of lane in District Lot 30, Group 1, New Westminster District, dedicated by Plan 50955, containing 91.0m²) shown outlined on Reference Plan prepared by Eugene Wong, B.C.L.S. It is proposed to place this bylaw before City Council for consideration of Final Adoption at the regular Council Meeting scheduled for 2018 February 26. The proposed Bylaw and Plan may be inspected at the Office of the City Clerk, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, British Columbia, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. and Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Anyone who considers themselves affected by the proposed bylaw is provided an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting the bylaw to Burnaby City Council by submitting a letter addressed to: Mayor and Council, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C.

Strata takes owner to court for alleged brothel Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A restraining order against a Burnaby condo owner accused by his neighbours of using his unit as a brothel seems to have done the trick, according to the strata’s lawyer. In a petition filed in B.C. Supreme Court, the strata council of the Timberlea Birch apartments at 3771 Bartlett Ct. allege a unit owned by Christopher Nino Diopita was being used for professional, business or commercial purposes, including “prostitutionrelated activities.” The alleged issues first surfaced in August 2015, according to court documents, when residents and the building’s caretaker complained to the strata council about foot traffic and disturbances at Diopita’s unit. When the property manager approached him about
the complaints, Diopita explained his girlfriend was operating a tattoo business, according to the strata council’s petition. He was ordered to stop, but the disturbances and foot traffic continued, according to court documents, with the building’s caretaker reportedly seeing unknown women in Diopita’s unit allowing different men into the building “on a frequent basis.” One neighbour reported numerous disturbances coming from the unit, including what he believed to be sounds of physical violence, “hysterical screaming,” and “men of different ethnicities, different ages, some … dressed as construction workers and some as businessmen,” all frequenting the apartment. The strata fined Diopita, and its lawyer, Stephen Hamilton, sent him a letter in July asking him to stop the activities in his unit, but
Diopita did not respond, according to the petition. The strata filed its petition in November, asking for an order banning Diopita from the property and forcing him to sell the unit. Diopita did not respond or appear in court, and a default judgement by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Justin McEwan on Jan. 9
So far so good. I think it’s quiet at home right now
ordered him to stop using the unit for commercial or business purposes, including prostitution-related activities, to restrain from causing or allowing unreasonable noise, including yelling, screaming or playing loud music and to pay
the cost of the strata’s court proceedings. McEwan did not ban him from the property or order him to sell the unit. The court gives the owner an opportunity to correct their behaviour before imposing such measures, Hamilton explained. “So far so good,” he told the NOW. “I think it’s quiet at home right now. I haven’t heard anything yet, so that’s good news. Given all the media attention, I can’t imagine this is good for his business.” While it’s not uncommon for prostitution-related activities to be conducted out of condo units, according to Hamilton, he said owners are usual relatively discreet. “I haven’t had to go as far in a prostitution case as to get a court order,” Hamilton said. “It’s pretty brazen for the owner to just continue to do it, and, in particular, it’s
Charges laid in Burnaby shooting Daylight shooting at Lougheed Highway hotel in 2012 left two dead Charges have been laid in connection with a brazen daylight shooting at a Burnaby hotel in November 2012 that left two men dead and hotel staff traumatized. Sukhveer Dhak, 28, and bodyguard Thomas Mantel, 30 – both well known to police – were gunned down at the Executive Hotel and
Conference Centre at 4201 Lougheed Hwy. just before 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 26, 2012. Two men currently serving life sentences for another gang slaying in Toronto earlier that same year have now been charged in connection with the shooting. Last week, Dean Michael
Wiwchar, 32, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the Dhak killing. He was also charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Sandip Duhre in the busy lobby of the Sheraton Wall Centre in downtown Vancouver in January 2012. Rahbih (Robby) Alkhalil,
30, has been charged with murder in the Duhre slaying and conspiracy to commit murder in Dhak’s death. Another man, 40-year-old Ronald Amero, was arrested and charged with conspiracy in both the Dhak and Duhre killings.
not like this was happening without the police being aware of it, and they attended that unit multiple times and they took some
younger ladies out of the unit.” None of the allegations in this case have been proven in court.

Actors break down boundaries in new show Mario Bartel
editorial@burnabynow.com
When Andrew Gordon started daily rehearsals for Neworld Theatre’s production of King Arthur’s Night, to be presented at Vancouver’s PuSh Festival from Jan. 31 to Feb. 4, he hadn’t run his lines since last June. But he nailed them on his first reading. Gordon and several other members of the production’s cast of 35 performers have Down syndrome. And their remarkable capacity for remembering and routine is one of the life lessons learned by Neworld’s artistic director and the play’s co-creator, Marcus Youssef. “Our expectations of the things people can do are totally wrong,”Youssef said during a break from rehearsals at Shadbolt Centre in advance of the production’s Vancouver premiere at the Frederic Wood Theatre. “It’s possible to create another space where our perceptions are not the only ones.” Youssef’s creation of that other space started several years ago when he collaborated on another play for the PuSh Festival, Peter’s Panties, with Niall McNeil, another actor whose life includes Down syndrome. In 2012, the creative duo were approached by the Down Syndrome Research Foundation (DSRF) in Burnaby to talk about their next project and how they might be involved. A year later, McNeil andYoussef started writing King Arthur and conducting acting classes at DSRF with the hope of building a troupe of actors who could perform in the production.
NO BOUNDARIES: Andrew Gordon is one of several actors with Down syndrome appearing in King Arthur’s Night, beginning Jan. 31 at Vancouver’s PuSh Festival. The production stems from an acting class at Burnaby’s Down Syndrome Research Foundation. PHOTO ANDREW ALEXANDER
“We invented a way to work together, to work with people with Down syndrome,”Youssef said. Gordon said he was immediately bitten by the acting bug. He loved the improv sessions based on Beauty and the Beast that sometimes went on for up to 40 minutes of seamless riffing. “I liked Gaston and Belle, and Marcus played the Beast,” Gordon said, adding that taking on different characters was like climbing
into the video games he so loves to play. More importantly, the group was becoming friends, building a community. That growing bond became especially important when everyone involved in the formative production went to the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity for a two-week rehearsal residency last spring in advance of its world premiere at Toronto’s Luminato Festival and at the National Arts Centre
in Ottawa as part of Canada 150 celebrations. Now they weren’t just working together, but also living together as they put the final touches to what Youssef describes as a mashup of different cultural references, from video games to Lord of the Rings,with a legend of King Arthur that includes several improvised scenes, a goat army and a choir of 16 that belts out more than a dozen songs written and composed by Veda Hille.
“It’s exactly what they’re good at when they’re mashing up things,”Youssef said. “There’s no boundaries, no preconceived idea that things must be separate.” Gordon plays a Saxon warrior, a role he said he relishes because he gets to unleash a loud, fearsome yell – even if it does strain his vocal chords from time to time. “I’m the assassin,” he said. And it’s a nice break from his day job at the Edgewa-
ter Casino in Vancouver, where he cleans dishes and “scrapes all the crumbs.” Youssef said he hopes audiences will see the actors’ abilities and the connections they’ve forged as artists. “The show is not about people with disabilities,” Youssef said. “Through having common purpose, those very big labels do disappear.” For more information about the PuSh Festival, including a schedule of productions, go to www.pushfestival.ca.

A BIG DEAL Susan Cumberland, founder of the Burnaby-based tutoring agency School is Easy (previously Academic Advantages), has sold her company to Canada’s largest career college network Launchlife International. The local entrepreneur got her start in 2005 after noticing there was a gap in tutoring services in the city. Her network grew from 250 tutors to more than 380 certified teachers who provide at-home assistance to students in kindergarten to Grade 12. Fifteen years later and Cumberland’s company is a well-respected national brand, noted a press release. “I and the Launchlife team are very excited to build off of the momentum, which currently exists with the School Is Easy franchise partner group.They have built a long and outstanding relationship within the communities they serve and we are now very excited to, together, propel School Is Easy to become Canada’s

Canine stars make debuts in Legally Blonde Never work with animals or children, as W.C. Fields is famously quoted as saying. Unless, of course, you’re casting for Legally Blonde – in which case you absolutely must find the just-right canines. Luckily for the Align Entertainment production of the popular musical, they’ve managed to snag two cuties who are ready to show off their stage talents for the musical’s run at Michael J. Fox Theatre. Making her stage debut in the key role of Bruiser Woods (devoted companion to the show’s heroine, Elle Woods) is Molly Spinola. Molly, who hails from Port Moody, loves to take long walks around Buntzen Lake, eat her favourite pumpkin treats and nap in the sun. She’s joined by Seamus O’Kelly as Roofus. Seamus, a native of White Rock, is also making his stage debut. Outside the theatre, his favourite hobbies include sleeping, eating and taking long walks. His favourite toy is a stuffed antler, and his best friend is Nigel, his Bos-
ton terrier cousin.You can also find Seamus on Instagram, @famousseamusthe bulldog. You can catch them both onstage Feb. 2 through 17 at Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave. Tickets are $39 regular, $27 for students, seniors and children.Thrifty Thursday tickets are available for $25 (Feb. 8 and 15), and there’s a special Family Day matinee for $15 on Feb. 12.

prised.They’d ask me, ‘Oh, how come not a lot of people know about that?’ I said, ‘I know, that’s why I want to just pass this along, and email the information to my family and friends,’” she said, giving the example of the Better At Home
program, which provides services like rides to medical appointments and light housekeeping. The society’s monthly support group for caregivers is another way Guevara stays connected. Continued on page 17

Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society is hosting its annual Caregiver Expo this weekend. Anyone who is looking after a relative, friend or neighbour is invited to attend the event at Bonsor Recreation Complex. The expo will feature over 20 exhibitors, door prize draws and guest speakers. Angelita Guevara has been a caregiver for her 81-year-old mother, who suffers from chronic kidney disease, for years. She’s been attending the caregiver expo for some time, and encourages others to do so as well. While it can be a “blessing,” the caregiver role can be lonesome, admits Guevara. “Friends and family are a great source of support, but until you’re really in the situation, you can only empathize so much.They give us a lot support, but I can’t really share with them everything. I don’t want to burden them, especially my brothers.They have families

Helpers wanted Time to eliminate the stigma for outreach to Alzheimer Society’s new campaign is designed to raise awareness and isolated seniors understanding – and to help people see dementia differently Burnaby Neighbourhood House is once again looking for seniors to be part of its outreach ambassador program. The program helps reach seniors living in isolation. Neighbourhood House staff provide training to volunteers, who learn about what causes isolation, how to reach out to isolated seniors, effective communication and listening skills and community resources and
referrals. The next training sessions start on March 5 and run until March 29.They are held every Monday and Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m. at 4460 Beresford St. Volunteers must be 55 and up. For more information or to register, call Elizabeth at 604-431-0400 or email seniorsoutreach@burn abynh.ca.
The Alzheimer Society of British Columbia wants to help put an end to the stigma of dementia. According to the society, a recently released online survey of 1,500 Canadians between 18 and 65 years found that 46 per cent of respondents would feel ashamed or embarrassed if they had dementia, while 61 per cent of those surveyed saying they would face some kind of discrimination. The survey also found
that one in four Canadians believe their family and friends would avoid them if they were diagnosed with dementia and only five per cent of Canadians would learn more about dementia if a family member, friend or co-worker were diagnosed. “Stigma significantly affects the well-being of people living with dementia,” Maria Howard, chief executive officer of the Alzheimer Society, said in a press release. “In order to build a

Expo on this weekend Continued from page 16 “Words are not enough to express our thanks,” she said of Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society. “Not just myself, but my family too. And so, we try to just pass along the word to other people so they can
also benefit from this type of service.” The caregiver expo is taking place on Saturday, Feb. 3 at 6550 Bonsor Ave., from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Admission and parking are free. See bsoss.org or call 604-291-2258.
awareness campaign – I live with dementia. Let me help you understand – in which people affected by dementia are sharing their stories as a way of sparking conversations and encouraging Canadians to see dementia differently. The society released the survey’s finding to coincide with Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in January, something Burnaby city council endorsed at its Jan. 22 meeting.

Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society is pleased to present our annual Unpaid Caregiver Expo. Let’s bring the community together to help, educate, and empower caregivers by providing them with access to useful services, resources and products. Caregiving can be harmful to one’s mental, physical and emotional health; as well as resulting in financial strain and burn out. Oftentimes a caregiver may experience a sense of isolation and feel alone. We are here to tell you that you are not alone. There are over 8 million unpaid caregivers in Canada, most of whom are feeling physically or mentally exhausted to the point of distress, anger, anxiety or depression. We want to recognize and celebrate the invaluable work the caregivers in our community perform for their loved ones and raise awareness about their challenges and experiences. So whether you are a caregiver, you know a caregiver or soon will be, we invite you to join us at our Caregiver Expo and learn about programs and services that can support you in your caring journey. We have six educational speakers who will discuss topics such as how to connect and navigate community resources, caring for yourself while caring for others and planning for the future. This year we have partnered with nearly 40 exhibitors at the event who will educate and inform our attendees on the support and community resources available for our caregivers. Come along to our Expo on February 3rd. Entry and parking is free and there are over 20 door prizes to be won. For more information, contact us at 604-2912258 or email: info@bbyseniors.ca

Gioachino Rossini’s comic opera follows a suitably convoluted operatic plot, as outlined succinctly in this synopsis from Burnaby Lyric Opera: “Count Almaviva is in love with the young and beautiful Rosina; Rosina is in love with the poor student Lindoro; Rosina’s guardian, Dr. Bartolo, wants to marry her for her inheritance and has imprisoned her in his house; Don Basilio, the music teacher, is helping Dr. Bartolo with his treacherous scheme; and Figaro, the town barber, is helping Count Almaviva in his romantic quest, while cleverly manipulating all of the players.” In other words, expect a raft of mistaken identities, deceptions, romances and, naturally, some of the most memorable operatic music ever written. Plus, it will all be performed by a cast of emerging, up-and-coming professional opera singers

Communitynow Sow the seeds now for a healthier lifestyle later Mark Cullen
Gardening with Mark
Do you enjoy saving money? Want to pursue a healthier lifestyle? We have an answer to both questions: sow seeds of your favourite food plants. It is important in winter to think through the space that you plan to grow veggies, fruit and herbs. We begin with a shopping list of seeds for 2018, as “seed starting season” is here. Ben will be growing a big tea and herb garden for drying, as well as a selection of new varieties and heirloom seeds to round out his five daily servings of fresh, healthy food. Mark will repeat his mass planting of 200 tomatoes, 50 peppers, plus an assortment of favourite vegetables which has evolved over the years. DISPELLING CONFUSION There is some confusion about the many families of seed types on seed racks and catalogues. Here is a
guide to the top six terms: Heirloom (or “heritage”) have been cultivated for more than 100 years and are typically open pollinated – which means they are often fertilized by other varieties of the same species.This is how a pumpkin and cucumber, members of the cucurbit family, can produce a “pumpumber.” Hybrid seeds are created when two parent varieties are cross-bred by human intervention, which creates desirable traits in the offspring.This is called “hybrid vigour.”The downside is that the seeds produced by hybridized plants are genetically unstable and cannot be saved for future crops. If you like a hybrid variety you will have to buy fresh seeds each year. GE means “genetically engineered.” This occurs when plants are bred through an unnatural process, such as inserting a gene, for desired traits. For example, the majority of corn and soy grown in North America is genetically engineered to be herbi-
cide-resistant. GMO refers to “genetically modified organism,” which can include GE but also includes hybridization. It is more of a catch-all term. For example, a hybrid pepper plant in your backyard is considered “GMO.” Organic seeds have been produced in accordance with organic-growing practices, and the seed has not been coated with any pesticides or fungicides. Treated seed is coated with a fungicidal treatment to protect against soil-borne pathogens and pests during germination. Here are some of our top picks for 2018: BEN’S PICKS Red Dragon Chinese cabbage (Napa cabbage): A new variety of hybrid Chinese cabbage that has a deep red colour, inside and out.With a slightly stronger flavour than green types, I am looking forward to how this will perform in homemade kimchi, the traditional Korean side dish. Available
clover. Available through your local retailer by Ontario Seed Company.

from www.johnny seeds.com. Common chamomile seeds are easy to come by, and easy to grow.This heirloom is a favourite afterdinner tea, and is easily prepared by drying the flowers. Available through your local retailer by Ontario Seed Company, www.oscseeds. com. Cumin appears in more of the recipes we make at home, however it is not a common herb for most Canadian gardeners as it re-
quires a long, warm growing season.To address this, I will be starting my heirloom seeds indoors. Available through your local retailer by Ontario Seed Company. A pollinator mixture will form the border of my garden to create a colourful boundary and draw in pollinators.The best mixtures contain nectar and pollen producing native heirlooms such as New England aster, black-eyed Susan, butterfly weed, Eastern columbine, forget-me-not and white
MARK’S PICKS Gold Rush yellow beans and Prevail green beans are two bush-type hybrid beans that are dependable for delicious plentiful harvest. Available through local retailers by Ontario Seed Company. Ingot carrot is a crisp and sweet hybrid variety, which resists cracking and maintains a great shape.

Knights put puzzle together
Junior girls team knocks off No. 2 rival to clinch B.C. berth By Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
At both ends of the court, the St. Thomas More junior girls basketball team is making a name for itself. Undefeated in league play and recently ranked 14th in B.C., the junior Knights checked off one of the pre-season’s goals when they doused No. 2 Claremont 45-22 on Saturday in the final of a provincial qualifying tournament. By powering through the threegame set, STM reversed what pollsters would call a recent fade and put themselves back in the game. “I definitely think the team played its best on Saturday (against Claremont),” noted Knights head coach Cassie Lauang. “The girls were just so focused (on) what they needed to improve on.” The squad got a great offensive jump, led by twins Gigi and Bella Gaspar, while Kate Stewart Barnett was a powerhouse on the defensive end, limiting Claremont’s best shooter to one point on the day. Three weeks earlier, the same player tallied 26 points in a one-sided win. After that earlier encounter, a side effect saw the Knights bounced out of third place in the coaches’ provincial poll to 14th. The Gaspar twins, who didn’t make that Island trip, helped turn the tide on Saturday. “(The Gaspars) ended up coming in with just a fury.They were so angry they had missed (the earlier game) and that we lost to them. … They just came out and were scoring machines,” Lauang said. It came on the heels of a hardfought victory over No. 7-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir 40-33, where STM’s depth turned a one-point deficit in the first half into a winning edge by game’s end. Contributing at various parts of the court all tourney were post TatianaYau and defender Rylan Monks. Coming just a week after a “heartbreaking” setback – falling to Argyle at their own Chancellor tourney semifinal – the turnaround was an affirmation of the work everyone had put in, said the coach. It’s also confirmation of what she’s seen during a lengthy season. “This group I think is very special.What I love about them is that it’s very clear that you play a piece, that you have a piece in our puzzle. There’s a role that you play and a role that makes you special to our team. ... If you play that role to the best of your ability, we as a team will be successful.”

Bulldogs build momentum for playoffs With come-from-behind win over Burnaby South, Byrne Creek grabs first place
By Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
If Bal Dhillon was tasked with giving a State of the Union address, he’d beam about how so much is going well at Byrne Creek – bigly. The senior boys basketball coach could point to big tournament performances, gritty decisions over rivals and a playoff picture on the horizon that looks full of promise. Then there’s his Bulldogs’ work in the classroom, which after the first semester stood at a 99 per cent pass rate and a handful of honour or principal’s honour roll achievements. Although the biggest games remain ahead of them, the team is trending in the right direction, to put it modestly. On the heels of Monday’s 7768 triumph over archrival Burnaby South, virtually locking up home court advantage for the league playoffs, the Bulldogs have staked their claim for Top Dog. Although they trailed through the first quarter, including 18-8 at one point, Byrne buckled down and trimmed the deficit during a boisterous third quarter, where they went on a 28-18 run. Where they were trailing early after a string of three-pointers, including a pair by Kyle Kirmaci
by the six-minute mark, the Bulldogs pressured the outside and drew the Rebels back closer to the key.Then it became a battle of the boards and turnovers, where Byrne garnered an advantage that carried them over the second half. “We didn’t really make too many adjustments, just a recognition that we needed to make a better effort to take away the three-ball,” said Dhillon.
At the end of the day, it’s hard to beat a team three times in a row ...
“But (Burnaby South is) a tough team to play against.You take away the outside and they can go inside; you take away the inside and they can go outside. … Our guys did a great job; I thought their team did a great job and that’s a game that more or less came down to the wire.” It was a huge third quarter that flipped it for the No. 2-ranked 3-A Bulldogs, where Martin Djunga got into scoring range after putting up just two points in the first half.The Grade 12 guard, who
days earlier picked up his second tournament MVP award of the month, unleashed eight points in 23 seconds with a pair of treys that turned a two-point game into a 10-point lead. Burnaby South would cut that to three points thanks to a string of buckets by Jusuf Sehic and Jiordano Khan, but Djunga restored his team’s lead with nine points in the final frame, for 23 on the night. Byrne Creek’s Bithow Wan led all scorers with 27 points, while Titgol Jok and Tyril Whitebear chipped in eight points apiece. For the Rebels, Grade 10 post player Sasha Vujisic and Khan each tallied 13 points, while Jusuf Sehic, who fouled out with 4:30 remaining, scored 10 points. “In the first half, I’d say they were winning.They are a really good team too, but the second half we got it going, we started boxing out,” remarked guard Sufi Ahmed. “We wanted to push the ball with pace, like we always do. Our shots weren’t falling that much but we found a way to do it.” It boosted the Bulldogs’ league record to 7-0, while Burnaby South sit second at 6-1. A few days earlier, a nice piece of redemption was the bow in an incredible team effort at the Rob-
ert Bateman tournament, where Byrne capped a four-game march with a powerful 106-75 win over No. 6-ranked Rick Hansen. “Hansen had gotten us twice in tournament finals this year, so we were very fired up to play them. They’re such a good team and it’s high level basketball. … At the end of the day, it’s hard to beat a team three times in a row, so we had that to our advantage,” noted Dhillon. The two teams had met just a week earlier, where the Hurricanes handed the host Bulldogs a 100-91 loss.That made the win all the more special. “Definitely,” said Wan. “We played hard in the tournament. We can’t let our guard down; we’ve got to keep playing hard.” It’s how the team responded, and that it carried over less than 48 hours later against Burnaby South, that impressed the coach so much. But nothing gave him more pride than hearing how the players have done academically over the first semester. “They work hard and I’m proud of that.When I found that out, we pulled the report cards that made my day.That made my day. For me, that was it.This is what it’s about. “For a student athlete you have Continued on page 24

Sunny result for Storm
The sky has cleared and the results improved for the Burnaby District girls metro under-13 Storm. The squad continued to show impressive improvement, racking up a 3-2 victory last week over South Fraser in what had been a scoreless draw at halftime. While the Surrey rival counted first, the Storm replied with three markers. Adrianna Primerano made it 1-1 and was followed with a tally by Nina Peloso. Cashing in what proved to be the game-winner was Nathalie Burkett. The win, Burnaby’s third in the past four games, gave
the squad a 5-2-9 record. In their first season in a 11-player game and using

Luxury High Rise Homes in West Coquitlam
O
nce a small bedroom community on the outskirts of Metro Vancouver, Coquitlam has grown into one of the largest and most vibrant cities in British Columbia. Known for its parks, central location and excellent transit options, it’s no wonder people from across the Lower Mainland - first time home buyers, young families, downsizers and those who love the outdoors – move to Coquitlam for its combination of urban sophistication and idyllic green spaces. Now they have another reason. Award-winning Anthem presents Wynwood Green, a luxury high-rise community nestled between The Vancouver Golf Club and Brookmere Park in West Coquiltlam. Featuring mid-century modern architecture by IBI Architects, the two elegant juxtaposed concrete towers include 379 one, two and three bedroom homes. Wynwood Green’s first phase, a 23-storey tower, includes homes from 538 square feet ranging up to 1,299 square feet. Each home features overheight ceilings, wide-plank flooring,
Bosch integrated appliances and large, expansive windows overlooking extraordinary views. Aspiring chefs will love the gourmet kitchens with quartz waterfall countertops, integrated pulls, full height porcelain backsplash, pull out pantry and open display cabinetry. “We’re excited about the location of Wynwood Green. It’s not often we as developers get an opportunity to design a community adjacent to amenities like The Vancouver Golf Club, with direct access to the emerging North Road corridor with shops, services, restaurants, the skytrain, and the No. 1 hwy”, says Elva Kim, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Anthem. “Each of the homes include large balconies to take advantage of the expansive views of the golf course, Burnaby and North Shore mountains, and the Vancouver skyline. The homes are designed to be timeless. Classic with clean, modern lines.” Wynwood Green residents will also enjoy exclusive access to the Wynwood Green Pavilion. The amenity building boasts an entertainment lounge, full kitchen, an infrared sauna and a fitness
centre with yoga studio and meditation centre. Outside, a landscaped courtyard with seating and an indooroutdoor fireplace and a grilling station will be perfect for those al fresco dinners on balmy nights. When family or friends visit, Wynwood Green will include fully furnished guest. Wynwood Green offers a peaceful, parklike setting in a thriving urban city. Kilometres of walking and biking trails are nearby in several provincial, regional and municipal parks like PineconeBurke Provincial Park, Colony Farm Regional Park, Mundy Park and many more. Coquitlam has many sport and cultural amenities like the Place des Arts and the Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex. Only a few minutes away, Lougheed Mall offers endless convenient amenities. With the Evergreen Line five minutes from Wynwood Green, getting in and out of Coquitlam is easy - 40 minutes from downtown Vancouver and 40 minutes from the US border. Founded 27 years ago, Anthem is a team of 350 people driven by creativity, passion and direct communication.
Anthem and Anthem United have invested in, developed or managed – alone or in partnership – more than 200 residential, commercial and retail projects with an aggregate value of more than $5 billion. “Our growing residential portfolio includes more than 11,000 homes that are complete, in design or currently under construction, from master planned mixed- use residential and multifamily, to townhome and single- family communities,” says Kim. Whether you are a first-time buyer, moving up, or downsizing, you will be duly impressed by the attention to detail that Wynwood Green has to offer. It is a rare opportunity to find a new home in a location this unique, built by a developer with a proven reputation for building quality homes with a passion for designing smart, thriving communities. The presentation centre and display suite located at 1020 Austin Avenue, Coquitlam will open soon.

LESLIE, Jim (James) Robert 1920 - 2018
Jim Leslie passed away peacefully in his sleep with loved ones by his side on January 16, 2018. Jim was born to a homesteading family in Onaway, Alberta; the Depression displaced them to Chilliwack, BC. By the age of 14, Jim left school to take over the farm and soon after joined the RCAF during WWII. After nearly a decade of service, Jim left the air force and started a contracting business with Del Hartley. At an RCAF dance James met the love of his life, Helen (nee Turner), whom he married in 1947. Helen and Jim are survived by their three sons who they raised in their New Westminster home: Alan (Judy), Daniel (Sue) and Neil (Jan). Their home was always welcoming for family members and a haven for their adopted cats. Jim and Helen were well known at William’s Landing on Pitt Lake. After retirement, Jim spent the majority of his time creating projects in his basement turned metal shop. He delighted in engaging youth and visited high school classrooms to tell war stories well into his 90s. Jim is predeceased by his wife, Helen, and grandson Thomas. Jim is survived by grandchildren: Alison (Carson), Kimberly (Simon), Holly (Travis), Michael, David, Karen (Paul), Megan (Scott), Daniel (Heather), Matthew, Michael (Elli), and Cameron (Nicole) and great-grandchildren: Bentley, Hudson, Helen, Malcolm, Saphira, Freija and Calvin. Family would like to thank the staff at RCH and SMH for their care who helped Jim to live independently until his last days. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation (rchfoundation.com). Please contact danielleslie@shaw.ca for Celebration of Life details.

Harold Allan Taylor, 83, passed away peacefully at 8:45 p.m. on January 17, 2018 in New Westminster BC, surrounded by his family. Harold was born in Portage La Prairie, MB on September 19, 1934. He moved to Burnaby, BC over 52 years ago with his wife Katie Taylor and their children. He worked for the Telus Phone company for 40 years and prior to that for Manitoba Tel. He was a huge Detroit Red Wings hockey fan and a great player himself. He even played junior hockey for the Portage La Prairie Terriers before starting his family. Harold was known as a gentle man with a quiet and thoughtful disposition. He was slow to anger and never passed judgement. On any given Saturday you would find him in a quiet corner watching his grandchildren play hockey or skate. He is survived by his wife of 60 years Katie, his older brother Keith, sister-in-law Mary, his three children Cindy, Robert (Debra), and Shelly (Peter), 6 grandchildren Jesse (Samantha), Sarah (Carson), Nathan, Naia, Cole, and Mackenzie, and his great-grandson Michael. A celebration of Harold’s life was held at Buchanan Lodge (409 Blair Ave, New Westminster, BC) on January 25, 2018. Harold will be placed to rest at Robinson Park Cemetery. We will miss you Harold (HAT). Until next time, keep your stick on the ice. For online condolences, please go to www.myalternatives.ca
