Protesters keep pressure on in Burnaby Lauren Boothby

Nearly 200 people have been arrested after the almost daily protests at Trans Mountain’s Burnaby terminal that began March 15.

Fifty-four people were arrested Saturday for violating an injunction order that prohibits blocking the entrance to the tank farm and coming within five metres of the Kinder Morgan property line.

Around 200 others rallied near the

entrance protesting Trans Mountain’s $7.4-billion pipeline expansion, singing and carrying banners, many taking shelter from the rain and snow under tents erected by organizers of the protest.

But Trans Mountain has completed preparatory work on time at the Burnaby and Westridge Marine terminals, despite protests nearly every day this week, according to the company.

Kinder Morgan had previously indicated this work needed to

But protests continued Saturday

despite the work being completed.

Jayeon Choi, who lives in the Edmonds area, came to see the protest in action with his 15-month-old son and was moved by what he saw. He said he’s been following developments on the pipeline but has never been to any of the protests, and he wanted to see for himself what was happening.

Local MP arrested at protest

Kennedy Stewart and Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May arrested at Trans Mountain terminal on Friday Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart and Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May were arrested at the Trans Mountain terminal in Burnaby Friday.

Stewart and May stood at the entrance with 16 others within the five-metre zone covered by the B.C. Supreme Court injunction.

Stewart said he felt compelled to intervene because his constituents do not want the pipeline to be built.

“I’m here crossing the injunction line to stand with my constituents to amplify their voices to make

sure that Trudeau hears loud and clear this pipeline does not have consent here in Burnaby,” he told the NOW prior to his arrest.

“I am risking arrest, I am prepared to be arrested, I hope it doesn’t come to that but it does seem to have been so far.”

May said she was protesting to fulfil campaign promises that she would oppose the pipeline. “(Risking arrest) is not common, but it is a respectable and justifiable action in rare circumstances such as in this one,” she said. “If you ask me who the trespassers are on this land, they’re the ones from Tex-

as.”

Meanwhile, another protest took place Friday outside Liberal MP Terry Beech’s constituency office on Hastings Street, led by Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion (BROKE).

That protest was one of many across Canada on Friday as part of the Defend the Water action organized by Lead Now. Protesters brought samples of water contaminated by oil to local MP constituency offices.

Beech was in Ottawa following a vote regarding the budget and could not be reached for comment.

Stewart flew back to Burnaby Thursday evening from Ottawa to participate in the protest.

Karl Perrin, a member of BROKE, said the group targeted Beech’s office because, as a Liberal MP, he may have influence over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“Terry Beech is still on the fence, but he’s still there on the fence, so he’s basically agreeing with Trudeau, even though he says otherwise,” Perrin said.

Protesters also gathered outside New WestminsterBurnaby NDP MP Peter Julian’s office that day.

Burnaby RCMP is warning it won’t tolerate pipeline protesters obstructing or injuring officers after another Mountie was hurt near Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby Mountain tank farm Sunday.

Officers were called to the 8000 block of Shellmont Street at about 6 p.m. for reports a man was interfering with “City of Burnaby infrastructure” in the area, according to an RCMP press release.

Upon arrival, officers found a man who had allegedly removed a survey marker.

Police went to arrest the 41-year-old for mischief, but he resisted, according to police, and a number of demonstrators from nearby Camp Cloud then rushed in and obstructed the arresting officer, allowing the suspect to flee.

“The police officer then proceeded to chase the male,” stated the release.

“The police officer was in turn pursued by a number of demonstrators from the camp, one of whom allegedly pushed the police officer, causing the police officer to injure his knee.”

The Mountie, who sustained a minor injury, managed to chase down the suspect and arrest him for mischief and resisting arrest.

The RCMP is now investigating the circumstances of the incident and consid-

ering charges for a number of other demonstrators who intervened in the initial arrest.

This is the second time police have been hurt in interactions with protesters, according to Burnaby RCMP. During arrests on March 19, one officer suffered a head injury after being kicked in the head, one officer suffered a knee injury and another officer sustained a hand injury.

The police officer was … pursued by a number of demonstrators

“Obstructing police officers and injuring them in the course of their duties is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Burnaby RCMP Supt.

Chuck McDonald stated in the press release.

McDonald said local Mounties have been “consummate professionals,” facilitating lawful, peaceful and safe protests by thousands of people.

He said Burnaby RCMP will continue to maintain a presence in the 8000 block of Shellmont Street to ensure demonstrations can continue to be carried out in a safe manner.

Pipeline protester now faces immigration charges Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A pipeline protester arrested for mischief and assault outside Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby tank farm now faces immigration charges as well, according to fellow protesters.

The woman was arrested after police were called to the 8000 block of Shellmont Street just before 8 a.m. on

March 21 for reports several demonstrators had climbed onto a truck headed into the terminal.

“A security person began documenting the event using a video camera; a female allegedly ran toward the security person and slapped the camera out of his hand, causing it to break,” stated an RCMP press release.

Charges of assault and mischief are being consid-

ered against the protester, according to RCMP E Division Cpl.Tammy Douglas, but RCMP also turned the woman over to the Canada Border Services Agency, she said.

AYouCaring crowdfunding campaign for the woman launched by fellow protester Brett Rhyno, identifies her as Tia Chicome.

She was arrested after stopping a tow truck try-

ing to make its way into the terminal past another truck that had already “peacefully stopped,” according to Rhyno’s description of the incident on Facebook.

“Land defenders put up their hands and yelled for the truck to stop,” states his YouCaring crowdfunding post. “It did not stop and kept forcing the demonstrators backwards, pushing into their bodies with

the grill of the truck. It was a very dangerous situation, and land defenders rallied to protect themselves.”

On Facebook, Rhyno wrote police had “taken reports and opened a -le” on the tow truck driver, but Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Daniela Panesar said RCMP have not, in fact, opened a file to investigate the driver.

A March 24 update on

Rhyno’s crowdfunding campaign stated Chicome had been released but now faces immigration charges along with charges of mischief and assault.TheYouCaring campaign aims to raise $5,000 to cover her legal costs. As of Monday afternoon it had raised more than $600.

Canada Border Services communications staff said the agency doesn’t comment on individual cases.

WATERMAIN FLUSHING The City Engineering Department will be commencing its annual program of flushing and cleaning watermains on January 23rd 2018 to May 31st 2018.

This activity may cause pressure fluctuations, some discoloration and sediment in the water supply reaching your home or business.

These conditions should be of short duration and do not pose a health hazard.

Although she now lives in Squamish, she was raised in Burnaby and said she remembers how the pipeline rupture in 2007 affected the local people and environment.

“I see how it affected the residents of North Burnaby, how it made their lands, their property, their homes

uninhabitable,” she told the NOW Saturday morning before police began making arrests.

“I see what it did to the marine ecosystem when the oil went into the inlet. I see this is being crammed through people’s lands, their yards, without due process.

I see that this is an environmental disaster waiting to happen.”

Nikki said she was sup-

porting local Indigenous people’s land rights, and she is concerned how the increased oil production will harm the environment her children and future grandchildren will live in.

“I’m not going to be leaving here voluntarily.They will have to arrest me to get me to leave,” she said.

Work recently completed by Kinder Morgan involved removing brush and

trees to clear space for permanent fencing along the property line at the Burnaby terminal, and preparatory work for the construction of the portal to the Burnaby Mountain Tunnel that will take place at a later date.

The $7.4-billion pipeline expansion project includes a 2.6-kilometre tunnel between the two terminals.

Burnaby is continuing its fight against a National Energy Board (NEB) ruling that allows Kinder Morgan to disregard its bylaws.

On Friday, the Federal Court of Appeal announced that it wouldn’t hear appeals from the City of Burnaby and the provincial government. But the City of Burnaby says it will now appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

The NEB ruled in February that Kinder Morgan could go forward with construction, exempting Trans Mountain from following Burnaby’s permitting and tree bylaws, arguing they were unconstitutional because they conflicted with the federal government’s approval of the project. Con-

struction includes building a 2.6-kilometre tunnel between the Burnaby and Westridge Marine terminals.

Mayor Derek Corrigan told the NOW he was shocked and angry that the Federal Court of Appeal would not allow an appeal to be heard.

“I think the National Energy Board has shown itself to be an agent of the oil industry. ... I think most people across Canada who have been in opposition to the pipeline feel the process hasn’t been fair and that it is in the direction of the oil companies.”

Greg McDade, lawyer for the City of Burnaby, said not allowing an appeal is a serious constitutional issue.

“I’m troubled that such an important decision is not one that would be reviewed.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Is spring break really a ‘break’ for families?

Spring break is now in full swing as Burnaby students enjoy their second week off school.

But whether this second week is a time of refreshment or a stress-filled scramble for extra child care depends very much on perspective. Most school districts – although not all – have moved from a oneweek break to a two-week break in the past decade.

There’s no particularly sound educational reason for that.The longer break began as a cost-saving measure to help cashstrapped school districts operate within tight budgets.

When classes aren’t in session, school districts save on overhead like fuel, lights, heating and costs for casual employees such as teachers on call.

Of course, some of the

largest costs – pay for regular teachers, for instance – aren’t impacted by spring break because salaried employees are paid based on hours of instruction throughout the school year.

There’s an argument to be made that money isn’t really saved by a longer spring break – just shifted, from the general provincial taxpayers to families, who now find themselves pay-

ing for extra child care and activities or taking time off work.

Not to mention the potential burden on employers – particularly in small businesses – who face the problem of multiple employees seeking the same days off.

While many families – particularly those with a parent at home, a parent who happens to be a teacher, or those with flex-

ible work schedules and the means to take off for a sunny vacation – welcome a longer spring break, others find the added week a strain.

It’s not hard to see that people such as working single parents will be most challenged, and it’s the most vulnerable kids – those who will spend most of their break in front of a screen, or whose families rely on social

supports at their school – who will find a longer break more challenging.

Before the two-week spring hiatus becomes something that’s “always been done,” it’s worth considering who’s really getting the break here and who’s been left dealing with the impacts of this downloading.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Peek backstage at B.C.’s drama

There is no question the B.C. political events of last spring and summer were drama of the highest order.

The incredibly close election result, which remained uncertain for days.The historic and emotional confidence vote, which saw a B.C. government fall from power for the first time in more than 50 years.

The momentous visits to Government House by two political leaders, with one replacing the other as premier of the province. And the emergence of a tiny third political party that ultimately decided just who was going to lead this province going forward for what remains an uncertain time.

Each event on its own is worthy of detailed examination. But collectively, they represent perhaps the most exciting and fascinating period of modern B.C. history and merit a special, penetrating deep-dive into what happened.

And that’s exactly what two B.C. press gallery reporters have provided.

Richard Zussman and Rob Shaw’s new book, A Matter of Confidence: the Inside Story of the Political Battle for B.C., is a sensational account of sensational occurrences and reads like a page-turning political thriller, the outcome of which seems uncertain until near the end.

They have delivered a delicious treat not only for political junkies but also for those interested in reading a breezy, fast-paced narrative that leaves you wanting more.

Zussman, a reporter at

Global News (he wrote the book while working as a CBC reporter; he was fired for allegedly breaking corporate guidelines with his book writing) and Shaw, a Vancouver Sun columnist, did not have much time to pull this project off.

They were facing a tight deadline of just a few weeks last fall and immediately set to interviewing pretty well every player – major and minor – about what had happened, while memories of the historic events remained fresh in everyone’s minds.

The result is a lively, behind-the-scenes tale brimming with new anecdotes and marvellous detail.

Where to begin?

One of the more vivid scenes describes how NDP campaign director Bob Dewar hit upon the idea of scrapping the tolls on the Port Mann Bridge, a move that many think ultimately handed the NDP enough ridings in suburban Metro Vancouver to win the election.

Another bit of drama captured with riveting new details was the night then-Premier Christy Clark, having lost a confidence vote in the legislature, visited Government House to meet with Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon.

The authors paint a picture of a political leader almost desperately trying to cling to power or force an election, only to glumly realize the game was over.

In addition, the account of NDP leader John Horgan being summoned to Government House has some Continued on page 7

Opinionnow Airbnb, Uber are not serving us well Dear Editor: Re: Burnaby home now an Airbnb hotel, Burnaby NOW, March 23.

I don’t want to come across as one of those old out-of-touch guys (although in some cases I may be), but Airbnb and outfits like Uber and Lyft aren’t the tech-based wonderful services and “disruptors” that they claim to be. All of these new gig economy outfits follow the same path.

They make money by ignoring regulations that were put in place for our own good and protection; by paying their employees – oops, sorry, contractors – a pittance; and by flouting laws either about zoning or vehicle insurance or some other law they find inconvenient.

People using these services find them cheap so continue to advocate for their expansion, all the while complaining that they can’t find a full time job that pays a living wage for themselves or someone they know. Besides, if you are a tourist, what do you care about the local environment, economy or people. Just bring on the next drink or attraction.

The solution to a lack of taxis is not to bring on a bunch of poorly paid drivers without proper insurance driving their own cars without inspections but to add more licensed cabs to the taxi fleets, pass laws ensuring that cab medallions aren’t owned by one company or small groups and open up pick-up restrictions beyond the border of one municipality.

In the same way the solution to expensive

,

hotel rooms is to encourage more hotels that operate at a wide variety of price points legally and properly with employees earning a living wage. Hotels are not allowed in residential zoned areas for a reason – it protects families and their kids. Let’s not lose sight of what makes our cities livable.

The only people making a killing from Airbnb, Uber, Lyft or other new entrants in the gig economy are those behind those start-up companies.

They do not well serve anyone else and cause real harm everywhere. A pox on all of them.

Carl Dillon, Burnaby

Political drama captured Continued from page 6 great moments.

After Clark left, Guichon’s private secretary, Jeremy Brownridge phoned Dewar (at this point Horgan’s chief of staff) and told him: “Bob, this is your million-dollar phone call.” Dewar grabbed Horgan and off they went for that momentous visit.

Then there is a marvellous account of the negotiations between the Greens and the other two parties about power sharing and why the Greens went with the NDP. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.

Buchko, however, would not accept Corrigan’s explanation, saying council should have had the foresight to see resident access was going to be a problem during protests.

“You cannot tell me this was not going to happen,” said Buchko. “Please don’t tell me that excuse because I’m not going to buy it.

Man faces charges for rash of purse snatchings RCMP say multiple elderly women were targeted in North Burnaby in February and March Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 33-year-old Burnaby man is facing charges in connection with a rash of North Burnaby purse snatchings aimed mostly at elderly women.

Burnaby RCMP had been investigating a number of such incidents reported in North Burnaby in February and early March when officers witnessed a man grabbing a purse from an elderly female in the 4400 block of

Hastings Street, according to an RCMP press release.

Police say the woman was knocked to the ground and suffered minor injuries.

The Mounties gave chase and arrested the man.

A search warrant later executed at a residence in the 4000 block of Union Street in Burnaby turned up a number of items linked to the Burnaby purse snatchings.

Bryan McVeigh, of Burnaby, faces three counts of robbery and one count of

theft in relation to four separate purse snatching incidents.

The victims of the incidents were female, three of them elderly, according to police.

“Incidents like these can have a devastating effect on the victims, two of whom are in their 80s,” stated Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar. “The accused is facing criminal charges thanks to the diligent and hard work of our Strike Force Unit.”

Burnaby house party turns violent An altercation at a Burnaby house party turned violent this past weekend.

Three males were treated for knife wounds after police were called to a dispute at a party in the 7400 block

of Burris Street near Canada Way at about 3:40 a.m.

Sunday morning.

Two of the victims were taken to hospital for assessment while the third was treated at the scene, ac-

cording to Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Daniela Panesar.

She said a 20-year-old man was arrested for assault with a weapon, and charges are pending.

PechaKucha coming to Burnaby for first time International movement has presenters show slides covering topics they’re passionate about Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

Although next door in New Westminster there’s been 18 of them, Burnaby’s about to hold its first PechaKucha night.

The city has put out a call for presenters for its inaugural PechaKucha. It will be held Sunday, May 6 at the Shadbolt Centre as part of Burnaby’s Festival of

Learning.

PechaKucha presenters get to show 20 slides for 20 seconds each, for a total of six minutes and 40 seconds each, on a topic they are passionate about.The first PechaKucha was held in Tokyo in 2003.

“It’s an event that I’ve been really interested in,” said David Jordan, who started at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts as its

arts services manager in September. “I just thought this would really line up with the Festival of Learning. PechaKucha is all about the sharing of ideas, and it seemed like a perfect fit.”

It’s been a popular night out in New West for a few years after being started by some community members.

The 18th version was held March 3 at the 1,200-seat Massey Theatre.Vancouver

will hold its 45th in May. “People love the grassroots nature of it.They love that the people speaking are not professional speakers, they’re people like them and they’ve got ideas that are worth sharing,” said Jordan.

“When you talk to somebody who’s just been to one, you can see the energy that comes out of the event.You can see they’ve really connected with somebody in an authentic way. I just know it has that effect on people.”

The city has partnered with Burnaby Neighbour-

hood House, an organization that has a lot of members and clients with fascinating stories.

“We’ve had a lot of positive buzz around the city, just talking it up internally. I think the city is going to embrace it,” said Jordan.

“It will give us a really nice connection to community.”

One advantage is if someone doesn’t like a presentation, wait five minutes and another will come along.

“It’s the element of surprise that people respond to.We liked to be surprised.

We like to have new ideas,” said Jordan, former executive director of the Vancouver Fringe Festival.

The deadline for anyone wanting to be a speaker is April 6.Those interested can send contact information to communication@ burnaby.ca.

It will be a free event, but anyone wanting to attend will have to register for the tickets with Shadbolt. Burnaby and Simon Fraser University are partners in the Festival of Learning, which runs May 5 to 12.

Communitynow SAVE THE DATE – MAY 6

ALZHEIMER’S WALK WHAT’S HAPPENING? The Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer’s is taking place on Sunday, May 6 at Burnaby Lake Pavilion, 6871 Roberts St., Burnaby.

Registration opens at 9:15 a.m. and the walk is from 10 a.m. to noon.

WHAT’S IT FOR? A recent survey found that more than 50 per cent of Canadians affected by dementia have felt stigmatized or discriminated against. The Walk for Alzheimer’s seeks to send a message of inclusion and hope to the estimated 70,000 British Columbians currently living with dementia, and the people who care for them.

TELL ME MORE: The walk is taking place in 23 locations across B.C., with each walk being dedicated to an honouree.

John Stark, acting director of planning for the City of New Westminster, is

being honoured at the local walk.

“All of our walks across the province are dedicated to an honouree – someone who has been affected by dementia, or someone who has valuably contributed to the lives of people who are living with the disease. John falls into both categories,” said Heather Cowie, provincial coordinator, Dementia-Friendly Communities for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. “He has personal experience, as his father is currently living with the disease. John – with the leadership and support of New Westminster council and staff – has been instrumental in making New Westminster B.C.’s first dementia-friendly community; a place where people living with the disease are welcomed, included and supported.”

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED? Participants are also

encouraged to walk in honour of someone in their lives who has faced dementia. To set up a team (or get more information), go to walkforalzheimers.ca.

“We urge people to consider creating a team for the walk. You will be creating a movement to show people on the dementia journey that they do no have to walk alone,” said Sara Wagner, the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s manager of regional services.

WHAT IS MONEY BEING RAISED FOR? The society promises that funds raised through the event will make a world of difference to people affected by dementia in Burnaby and New West. They will directly fund support, education and learning opportunities so people affected by dementia can live their best lives possible.

Funds will also help enable research into the causes of and the cure for the disease.

The Choose to Move program is back by popular demand and returns to the Bonsor 55+ Centre next month.

The six-month program is for folks who don’t have much of an exercise regimen in their daily routine but want to get moving again. Participants attend support groups once a month and work one-on-one with a coach to create a personalized plan that fits with their lifestyle.

The 12 spots filled up fast when the seniors centre hosted the program last fall, according to supervisor Michelle St Jean.

“The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” she told the NOW. “The results show that the participants have increased their physical activity, they’ve decreased their feelings of loneliness and they’ve also increased their social interaction.”

St Jean anticipates another successful outcome this time around.

“Basically, the program is designed that you are paired with a coach and the coach looks for simple ways for you to add more movement into your everyday living,” she said. “An example could be joining a fitness class. It

could mean working more on your garden at home. It could mean walking to get a cup of coffee rather than taking your car.”

Anyone who is at least 65 years old and is not currently active (less than 1.5 hours of physical activity per week) is encouraged to apply.

The program starts on April 24.

There will be an information session on April 3 from 10:30 a.m. to noon at Bonsor 55+ Centre, 6533 Nelson Ave. Admission is free, but registration is

required as space is limited.

“We’re really encouraging people to come to the information session first to make sure this is the right program for them,” said St Jean.

To register, call 604-297-4580 or visit burnaby.ca/webreg and use barcode 472137.

Choose to Move is offered through the B.C. Recreation and Parks Association and theYMCA of Greater Vancouver, with the support of UBC’s active aging research team.

Celebrating Seniors

Society says all seniors need a safe place to stay Theresa McManus

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Seniors Services Society is trying to ensure seniors aren’t forgotten in British Columbia’s poverty reduction strategy.

In response to concerns that B.C. has the highest poverty rate in Canada, the province is developing a poverty reduction strategy that will include targets and timelines to address the issue.The society has provided the province with input about strategies it believes could help reduce poverty among seniors.

“The recent statistic is there is 100,000 seniors living below the poverty line in B.C.,” said Kara-Leigh Bloch, the society’s executive director. “That is quite significant, so they need to be factored into what strategies will eliminate the issues we are talking about – people having to make choices between relieving pain and paying their rent.That

shouldn’t be.They should be able to be thriving and feel well, if they are able to, with whatever medication they need.”

The society, which employs outreach workers who provide one-on-one assistance to seniors who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, regularly hears from seniors who are unaware about different programs that may be available to them to reduce their rent – and leave them with a bit more money to spend.

“In some cases, depending on what their rent is, if they are locked into a pretty low rent because they have been a tenant it might really make a difference,” Bloch said of the programs. “For those that are recently moving and paying in this extremely high rental market, they are basically having to make decisions on what are they going to do with their income.”

Bloch said struggling seniors often share heart-

breaking stories about choices they make regarding their limited funds, such as skipping meals, stretching a small TV dinner into two meals or being unable to buy personal care items such as pain or arthritis medication that isn’t covered through Pharmacare but would provide some pain relief and improve their quality of life – all so they can pay their rent. Some can’t afford to buy incontinence supplies, so they avoid potential embarrassing situations and stay home – becoming more and more isolated.

“It is absolutely tragic that this is the tribute to the seniors who have built the communities we live in.

Some of them are just falling through the cracks unnecessarily,” she said. “We need to pull together as a government, service providers, as a whole collective and figure out ways to ensure that those who are mainly marginalized because of income barriers, that they have opportunities to thrive and have an amazing wellbeing.”

SAFER – Shelter Aid For Elderly Renters – is available to seniors aged 60 and

up who are paying more than 30 per cent of their gross (before tax) monthly household income towards their rent. Details (including an online calculator to check if you qualify, are available at www.bchousing. org/housing-assistance.

The Senior’s Supplement is designed to ensure a guaranteed income for B.C. residents aged 65 and up who are receiving the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement/Old Age Security or federal Allowance. If an eligible senior’s income is below the level guaranteed by the province, the supple-

ment makes up the difference.

“It’s quite astonishing when we get a call from someone, when they finally hit rock bottom or something tips them over and we realize they didn’t know about SAFER subsidy, or they didn’t file their taxes so they didn’t get the extra top-up that the federal government gives called the GIS – the guaranteed income supplement,” Bloch said. “We are able to help them.”

Burnaby Schools Many Faces. One Community.

Creativity & Children A great mix

That’s one of the reasons our annual Design an Ad special supplement continues to be popular in Burnaby.

The Burnaby NOW, local businesses and organizations, and the Burnaby school district, team up and ask city students to design newspaper ads for the special section.

Every year, the students produce insightful, creative, thoughtful – and often humorous – advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects and often carry compelling messages. The businesses and groups get to choose which students’ advertisement they want to run in the section and our photographer visits the students. The ads and photos of students are put together by our team at the Burnaby NOW and another Design an Ad section is complete.

The ads are also on display at Lougheed Town Centre from March 30. I would like to thank all of the students, teachers and participating advertisers who continue to make this annual project a real success!

Public Education means that every child is given the opportunity to learn and to be inspired to reach their potential, and Burnaby’s public schools have been doing just that, serving the learning needs of the community since 1906.

Our mission, to prepare an inclusive caring community of learners for the challenges of a changing tomorrow is as valid today as it was 112 years ago – perhaps even more so. With the impact of globalization and technology, the jobs of today are not likely to be the jobs of the future. We continue to be innovative, finding ways to engage our students and ensure they are prepared to contribute and thrive in the evolved world they will encounter.

Education is not a “one size fits all,” and we offer many options to support the unique learning needs of each child. For elementary students, this may include a language program such as French Immersion or Mandarin Language Arts; a Challenge or MACC Program for high-ability learners, or a school that focuses on education through the arts. Secondary students will

Communitynow BCIT helps to improve life for electric car drivers The federal government has charged the B.C. Institute of Technology in Burnaby with helping to spread the use of electric vehicle charging stations in the province.

As part of a $4.3-million announcement to support alternative fuel infrastructure in B.C., Ottawa is asking BCIT to demonstrate Level 2 EV charging stations in urban areas and commercial parking lots that will make better use of the grid’s existing electrical ca-

pacity. BCIT will also develop a way to control and monitor the chargers from different vendors.

The funding is an important step for BCIT’s Energy OASIS project, said Kim Dotto, dean of applied research at BCIT. “The BCIT smart microgrid applied research team is proud to be leading first-in-Canada applied research solutions that will reduce barriers to the adoption of electric vehicles,” said Dotto in a federal gov-

ernment press release.

Burnaby North-Seymour MP Terry Beech made the announcement on behalf of Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr.

“Building green infrastructure paves the way to a low-carbon future by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Our government is proud to make investments that will reduce costs and address potential hurdles for the deployment of the nextgeneration electric vehicle charging infrastructure in

urban areas,” said Beech.

In addition, B.C. Hydro will demonstrate the Level 2 chargers in multi-unit residential, commercial and municipal buildings as well as put in 21 Level 3 EV chargers across the province.

The Hydrogen Technology and Energy Corporation will be installing a retail hydrogen fuelling station in theVancouver area as part of a six-station network it is building in the Lower Mainland andVictoria.

New theatre program will fight racism Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

A special kind of theatre used to combat racism, hate and discrimination is coming to Burnaby.

The province has announced $224,000 in funding through the B.C. organizing against racism and hate program.The money was split between 32 community organizations, including the Burnaby Together Coalition Against Racism and Hate, which received around $6,000.

The local group plans to use those funds to get Theatre of the Oppressed off the ground.

“It’s a type of theatre that started in the ’70s in Brazil and it’s a social theatre,” explained facilitator Angelo Moroni. “It’s a theatre used as a tool to explore solutions on how to respond to difficult social situations, whether it’s at the home place or work or on the street. It’s basically a conflict resolution tool.”

The idea is to recruit around 20 participants from the community – anybody who’s experienced racism, discrimination or hate, as well as people who want to do something about it.

Moroni will then provide around 20 hours of training and will help the group create scenes from their collective experience. A final play will be presented at the Shadbolt Centre on May 8 from 7 to 9 p.m.

“We all need to, in a safe

Funding announced: Michel Pouliot, executive director of Burnaby Family Life and co-chair of Burnaby Together, speaks at a press conference in January.

The Burnaby Together Coalition Against Racism and Hate received about $6,000 to fund a social theatre program to combat racism and hate.

place, explore these very difficult situations,” said Moroni. “In a safe environment, people get to figure out, what is the best way to respond to situations of hate and discrimination.”

What’s unique about this type of theatre is that the audience gets involved, too.

“Basically, the participants create the scenes and it is the audience that comes up to the stage, takes the place of some characters and tries to change the outcome of the scene for it to be more positive,” he said.

Michel Pouliot, executive director of Burnaby Family Life and co-chair of Burnaby Together, told the NOW the initiative “will absolutely help” in addressing racism, hate and discrimination in the city.

“There’s a lot of anti-immigrant sentiment out there in the community,” he said, pointing to the white supremacist flyers that appeared outside Burnaby’s Metrotown library last year.

“Luckily, it’s not socially acceptable to sort of air those views openly.When you look at what’s happening down south, that is sort of giving licence to those folks that have very strong racist views to express them.”

Admission to the Theatre of the Oppressed production will be free. It will run in conjunction with Burnaby Festival of Learning, a week-long celebration full of performances, lectures and discussions.

The healing powers of taking a walk in the park Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

You may get a shock when your doctor gives you your next prescription.

A man walks into the doctor’s office. He complains of feeling listless, lacking energy and generally feeling down.The doctor asks him some questions, thinks for a moment and looks him in the eye as he exclaims, “I have a prescription for you. A daily walk in the park, several minutes of deep inhaling of outdoor air and a lunch break on a lawn area, perhaps under a tree.”

We made this story up.

However, there is growing evidence the natural, green world around us not only helps improve our health day to day, it may prevent

“early death.” In short, public health generally benefits greatly by a greener environment.

Here is what we have discovered recently in support of this idea: 1. Dr. Dan Crouse is a researcher at the University of New Brunswick, where the results of an extensive study show the more humans are exposed to greenery, the lower the risk of premature death. “Natural environments, including parks, forests, lakes and open water, are recognized as having the potential to mitigate the adverse effects on health associated with urban living, such as traffic congestion, noise and air pollution,” says Dr. Crouse.

Parks and gardens are not essential for us to enjoy the health benefits. “Just having trees around where peo-

ple live is really important.”

Crouse explains. Ahh, trees!

Crouse discovered that benefits of green spaces accrue to people in every demographic, but more so for middle-aged men.

2.Trees are known to create an environment that helps us breathe easier, think more clearly and generally give us a lift.That is why the Japanese have been “forest bathing” for generations. According to a recent story in the Toronto Star, Victoria Gibson reports that a new study involving 16 institutions recommends 20 land-based actions that could lead to a third of the emissions reductions needed to hit global warming targets.The report suggests the biggest solution to mitigating the wrongs produced by our overconsumption of fossil fuels is trees.

We think planting and caring for the forests in our cities, where most Canadians live, should be a priority.

Planting more trees can only be a good thing.

3. Ecotherapy. The idea of human healing and growth, nurtured by healthy interaction with the earth, is not a new idea, but it is catching on. In 1996, Howard Clinebell wrote the book Ecotherapy on the topic. He called it “green therapy” and “earth-centred therapy.”The idea suggests that nature-based exercises and nutrition can help patients cope with mental and

physical illnesses. Quite literally, rather than prescribe drugs to help solve a health problem, a walk in the park may be recommended. Research points to positive results for people who spend time in green spaces. Experiencing a green, outdoor environment can reduce anxiety and depression, attention deficit disorder and chronic illness such as diabetes.

Dr. Gillian Booth, a medical researcher at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto has studied the benefits to human health of green spaces. Her suggestion is that we can design our urban spaces better by “creating more walkable cities,” with improved public transit and more accessible public parks.

Her studies lead her to conclude that a “walkable”

city is one that eliminates or minimizes the negative impacts of street noise, air pollution and traffic congestion.

Planting more trees can only be a good thing.

A greater investment in maintaining the mature trees that we already have growing in public spaces can only make matters better.

Given the evidence, everyone can benefit from an enhanced green environment, regardless of where you live. Such is the healing power of nature.

Burnaby gives UBC a scare Visitors push reigning league champions before wheels fall off late

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club kept pace until they couldn’t.

When it comes to playing the threetime defending premier league champion University of B.C., it’s all about the finish.

While Burnaby enjoyed a solid start and strong middle in their match against UBC, the host T-birds pulled out a 34-20 decision last week in Vancouver, improving to 14-3 in B.C. premier men’s rugby action.

In a back-and-forth battle, the visiting Lakers had their share of

highlights, matching UBC tries early in the game on a scoring drive by Ed Swire.

Tied 8-8 at the half, the hosts retook the lead but were countered by Burnaby’s Cole McQueen to knot the score again.

In what appeared to be a major break, the visitors ventured ahead on Ben McIvor’s 70-metre sprint, set up by winger Gino Paolella, for a brief 20-15 lead. But UBC replied and struck for a go-ahead try late in the final quarter.They’d cap their comeback to make it look like a comfortable victory.

It ended the Lakers’ three-game

winning streak, with the most recent coming three weeks ago against Nanaimo, by a 76-30 score.

Turning in strong games against UBC were Burnaby South alum Nolan Shelley at fly half, who racked up some key tackles on defence, and forward Cole Mosychuk, who counted some big yardage along with a good collection of tackles.

The loss drops Burnaby’s record to 11-7, with their next test coming at home April 7 against James Bay. In Div. 2 action, Burnaby Lake stopped United 48-12, improving to 9-5-1 in league standings.

Bailey gets court call for Canada

It has been a while between actual competitive basketball games for Burnaby’s Jacey Bailey.

But that’s all about to change as the Northern Arizona University athlete heads to the Gold Coast in Australia as a member of the Canadian women’s Commonwealth Games team.

Bailey, 19, was among the 12 players chosen for Team Canada, and one of just three from the NCAA. The Burnaby Mountain Secondary alumna is in her second year of university but red-shirted this past season after transferring to the Flagstaff, Ariz. campus from Florida Atlantic following her freshman year.

With Florida Atlantic, the six-foot guard averaged 4.3 points per game and 32.9 per cent over an average of 17.8

minutes per game. Starting 15 of 28 games, Bailey posted a personal-best 12 points and on two occasions corralled six rebounds.

As a NCAA transfer, Bailey had to redshirt her first season at her new school and is slated to make her debut with the Lumberjacks this coming fall.

Bailey and the Canadian team will open the Commonwealth Games against England on April 6.Their schedule also pits them against pool opponents Australia, April 8, and Mozambique, on April 9.

It will be her first taste of international action, after the Burnaby native tried out in 2016 for a spot on Canada’s under-18 team to compete at the U18 FIBA Americas tournament.

Giants’ run ends Burnaby to build with transition game against Cougars

It was quite a ride, but the ending still seemed sudden.

The Vancouver Northeast Chiefs’ run in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League playoffs came to an end Saturday in a 4-3 loss to the Cariboo Cougars.The Cougars advance to the league final against the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds.

The Chiefs didn’t go easily, forcing the game to overtime on James Bohn’s tally with 5:41 left in the third. But Cariboo prevailed four minutes into extra time on Mason Richey’s second of the day, finishing the series 2-0 sweep, after Friday’s 5-2 decision. Burnaby’s Jackson MurphyJohnson scored once and set up another on Saturday.

Continued from page 39 a player has that ‘It’ factor. Milos plays elite hockey so he comes in and has that presence, he’s an elite athlete.

Nick’s IQ on the floor is something you don’t see from your average 16 years olds playing lacrosse,” he said.

Along with general manager Brad Parker, the coaching staff will be paying close attention to players and their roles, both in green-and-white jerseys and the other side.The core leaders for the Lakers this year are expected to be captain Patrick Shoemay, a six-foot-

four sophomore at RIT, and sniper Dylan Kaminski, who attends Staten Island’s Wagner College.

Netminder Elijiah Uema-Martin is back for a second season after facing a league-high 829 shots – with the second-most busy goalie at 659 shots.

Although no prognosticator will be putting the Lakers in the pre-season playoff picture, the hope is this year’s model will lay the groundwork for such a breakthrough in the coming years. And if they play meaningful games in June, all the better.

The good energy that comes at training camp, along with the new changes to the league, has created real optimism, said Dallavalle.

“I think if asked I’d say our transition game will be our best (part and) our main strength this year. If you look at the top teams in the league and you’d see the transition game was their strengths as well,” he noted. “We want to win those battles. I felt last year when we were five-on-five and stayed out of the penalty box, we played with most teams for most of the game.”
