Labour council switches support to Hurley Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby-based New Westminster and District Labour Council has refused to endorse any incumbent Burnaby councillors. It also voted to back the rival of Mayor Derek Corrigan. Last week, the NWDLC voted to endorse mayoral candidate Mike Hurley.The move is a striking break from tradition, as the NWDLC has long supported Corrigan and the Burnaby Citizens Association. The NWDLC members did, however, endorse the BCA’s Baljinder Narang, who hopes to make the jump from school board to council in October. (All seven sitting councillors – Pietro Calendino, Dan Johnston, Sav Dhaliwal, Colleen Jordan, Paul McDonell, Nick Volkow and James Wang – plan to run for reelection. Narang is running to fill the seat left empty by now-MLA Anne Kang.) “I am grateful for the endorsement of the New Westminster & District Labour Council. It means a great deal to have their support,” said Hurley, in a news release. “The decision by the council to endorse me adds a strong and considered voice to my candidacy to become mayor of Burnaby. It also confirms much of the input and comments I have heard that say it is time for a new mayor.” Burnaby Firefighters Union president Jeff Clark said he was present for the vote, which he says was unanimous. But Corrigan told the NOW he did not seek the endorsement, despite having sought and received it in the past five elections. Corrigan said Hurley “stacked the meeting with firefighters from all over the region” in order to Continued on page 4

Evictions have neighbours nervous

With tenants in 64 Metrotown units kicked out, rally held to demand solutions Lauren Boothby

editorial@burnabynow.com

Housing activists and Metrotown renters held a rally on Canada Day to protest the demolition of three lowrise apartment buildings on Sussex Avenue. Thirty people heard impassioned speeches from housing activists and neighbours concerned they will also lose their homes. Some painted messages on the exterior of one of the buildings slated for demolition, and hung banners protesting Burnaby’s current housing strategy and evictions in the neighbourhood. Saturday was the deadline for

residents of 64 units to leave their homes at 6525, 6559 and 6585 Sussex Ave. before the land is redeveloped by Thind Properties Ltd.The developer plans to build a 14-storey tower with 125 nonmarket units, operated by New Vista Society and B.C. Housing, and a 47-storey mixed-use tower. Alaidjah McGlynn, who rents a one-bedroom unit on Sussex Avenue, told the NOW he’s concerned his building will be next after seeing the property change hands multiple times in the four years he’s lived there. He was previously evicted from his apartment on Silver Avenue after it was purchased and redeveloped.

McGlynn said he’s ‘disgusted’ by the redevelopment in the neighbourhod, and feels the city has abandoned the people who live there. “I’m getting the impression that my city doesn’t care about us, and where we live and where we come from. It’s all about money, and it’s all a capitalist society,” said. “When you’re going to make a new neighbourhood, you have to look after people in the old neighbourhood.You can’t just throw them to the wind.” Eko Handjatmeko, who lives on Dow Avenue, said Canada has been different than he expected when he moved here from Indo-

nesia in 2010. He loves the neighbourhood, but has already had to move when his former apartment buildings were demolished. Patricia Morenco, who lives on Telford Avenue, says the stress of potentially losing her home has been so intense she’s spent time in the hospital. “My body can’t take it anymore,” she said, adding that her life “has been destroyed.” Housing activist Dave Diewert, of Alliance Against Displacement and Stop Demovictions Burnaby, says the non-market housing units are not enough. “This is not a viable, sustainable response to the crisis,” he said.

Protesters hang off bridge to halt tanker

Greenpeace stages protest Tuesday on Ironworkers bridge to protest the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project Jane Seyd

editorial@burnabynow.com

Seven Greenpeace protesters climbed the catwalk girders under the Ironworkers bridge early Tuesday morning and rappelled to hang from ropes suspended under the bridge. The protesters said they intended to stop the oil tanker Serene Sea from leaving the Westridge terminal in Burnaby and travelling through Burrard Inlet. Mike Hudema, a Greenpeace campaigner and one of the protesters hanging from the bridge, said if a tanker tried to come under the bridge while the protesters are suspended there, it would not have enough height clearance. The climbers also created a web by joining themselves together with ropes. “We created an aerial blockade . . .” said Hudema. “There’s no path for a tanker to be able to get through.” Protesters unfurled four streamers painted by Indigenous artists and planned to unfurl larger banners with slogans like “Protect Waters” and “Stop Pipelines” later in the day, said Hudema. He said in addition to stopping the tanker traffic, the protest is intended to call attention to the date of July 22, when the Canadian government’s deal to buy the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project completes. “I’m hoping as many people as possible call the

Those two things don’t go together.”

Hudema said the protesters – who had a support crew of five more people on the catwalk under the bridge deck - were roped in with industrial-grade climbing equipment and were lying in hammocks under the bridge.They were equipped with sleeping bags and enough food and water for

two days and were prepared to stay overnight if necessary, he said. A spokesperson for Trans Mountain confirmed the Aframax-size oil tanker Serene Sea was loading oil at the Westridge terminal on Tuesday. Danielle Jang, spokeswoman for the Port of Vancouver, said the protesters

were preventing deep sea vessels and ships like sailboats with high masts from being able to pass safely under the bridge. Smaller ships like tugs, barges and small commercial vessels weren’t affected by the protest. “We are closely monitoring the situation and any

changes that may impact the safe movement of marine traffic,” she said. Officers from the Vancouver Police Department’s Marine Unit were on scene in Burrard Inlet underneath the bridge, said Const. Jason Doucette on Tuesday. Doucette said police were monitoring the situation.

Order of Canada recipient arrested at Burnaby site By Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

At least nine people were arrested Saturday at the gates of Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby Mountain tank farm in the first mass arrest since a beefed-up injunction was approved by a judge. Included in the group of people arrested was Order of Canada recipient and current Vancouver council candidate Jean Swanson, who is 75 years old. She could face as much as seven days in jail and a hefty fine. Swanson released a statement saying she risked going to jail to condemn Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s $4.5 billion buy-

out of the existing Trans Mountain pipeline. “The Order of Canada is given to people who want a better country,” said Swanson, who received her Order of Canada for working with impoverished communities in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. “Spending billions of taxpayer dollars on an oil pipeline, given the threat of climate change, is not making Canada a better country.” Morgan McGinn and Susan Lambert were among the others arrested alongside Swanson. Lambert is a retired teacher-librarian and the former president of the B.C.Teachers’ Federation. She told the NOW that the

risk of going to jail definitely “gave me pause” but she did it for her grandchildren. “It’s like trying to stop a freight train,” Lambert said after being released by police. “The situation is so critical we have to take action to tell the politicians we don’t want this project to happen. My legacy as a grandmother means I have to do this. I owe a debt to my grandchildren.” After the first group of protesters were arrested, a second group of five people sat down in chains in the injunction zone. Police played a recorded message detailing the injunction, but the group didn’t move and they were arrested, and then released.

City now Fireﬁghter who founded biker club no longer on the job The City of Burnaby has fired the founder of a controversial firefighter motorcycle club. Burnaby firefighter Nick Elmes and the Florian’s Knights biker club made headlines at the beginning of June when the Vancouver Sun and Province reported on a photo posted on social media of Elmes posing with three Hells Angels. B.C.’s public safety minister, the province’s anti-gang agency and city officials all expressed concern about

the photo and the Knights’ participation in rides with the Hells Angels earlier in the year. The city promised an investigation into the matter within “days not months.” Last Wednesday, the fire department sent out an internal memo saying Elmes was “no longer employed by the City of Burnaby.” City manager Lambert Chu confirmed Thursday Elmes’s employment had been “terminated,” following a city investigation into the Knights “including the news story published in the Sun and Province newspa-

pers.” “I cannot share with you details of the investigation, as the city does not disclose details on internal disciplinary actions,” Chu told the NOW in an emailed statement. “The investigation took a longer time to complete as we have to compile the necessary information in order to complete the investigation.” The Florian’s Knights motorcycle club was formed in 2016 by active and retired firefighters from Burnaby, New Westminster and Vancouver. The organization had

raised money for the B.C. Professional Firefighters’ Burn Fund through charity rides, and Elmes told the NOW the Knights were just “likeminded guys on our Harleys trying to raise money and awareness at charitable rides.” But city officials had been concerned about the club since last fall, when members began wearing their club vests or “colours” to work. At that time, however, Chu said neither the city nor the fire department had been aware of any connection with the Hells Angels,

She said she could not confirm whether the vote for Hurley was unanimous. She said NWDLC members considered endorsement applications from all seven sitting councillors and turned them down. Andrews said she could not say whether voters considered endorsing the three other declared council candidates (independent Rudy Pospisil and Greens Rick McGowan and Carrie McLaren). Andrews said she could not say why her members chose to spurn their longtime allies in the BCA, but

so there had been no formal investigation. After the photo of Elmes with the Hells Angels be-

came public, a number of former Florian’s Knights members distanced themselves from the club.

she said she has heard many of her members are concerned about affordability and housing. “We elect people who represent our values,” she said. NWDLC members will meet again on Aug. 22 to consider endorsing more candidates. Hurley is a recently re-

Tuesday that he wasn’t expecting to get the endorsement. He said he has long supported union rights as the frontman of punk group D.O.A. “I’m really a pro-union guy,” he said. “I just don’t happen to have the unions behind me.”

Firm loses case in casket snafu Company claimed damaged caskets delivered late

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A funeral home’s attempt to recover costs incurred during a casket-delivery mix-up at its Burnaby warehouse last October has been denied. Richmond-based CanTrust-Funeral Ltd. hired Sunshine Logistics to arrange a container shipment of caskets from China last October, according to a Civil Resolution Tribunal decision posted online

in June. In a small-claims dispute, the funeral home attempted to claim $2,000 in damages, trucking fees and labour costs from the logistics company, alleging it had been late in delivering the caskets to the funeral home’s Metrotown warehouse and that the trucker tasked with delivering them had failed to bring cutters to open the shipping container they were in. The shipment had to be sent back and delivered

again the next day because no one at the warehouse had a cutter to open the container’s bolt seal. Tribunal vice-chair Shelley Lopez, however, dismissed the funeral home’s claim for damages. In a June 13 decision, she found the parties’ agreement did not promise a specific delivery time, despite the funeral home’s claim, and that it wasn’t the trucker’s job, according to the contract, to provide a bolt cutter.

City wants to see pipeline evac plan editorial@burnabynow.com

Trans Mountain has yet to submit an evacuation plan for the area surrounding the Burnaby terminal, something the City of Burnaby has said the company should have done before the updated tank farm design was approved. In a submission to the National Energy Board in May, the city argued Trans Mountain underrepresented risks at the tank farm – including vapour clouds and tank boil overs – and made inaccurate assumptions in its risk assessment that may not be possible because of the location of the tank farm. Assuming that people who live on and near Burnaby Mountain can be evacuated before a boilover, for example, is one of these mistakes, according to the city. “No future consultation

or emergency response plan will provide for the opportunity to address risk through tank farm design,” states the May report. “These matters of critical importance to public safety in Burnaby must be addressed prior to consideration of the Burnaby Terminal variance and prior to commencing construction.” But the National Energy Board ruled Trans Mountain adequately met the two conditions that required it to create updated risk assessments, and to demonstrate how it would respond in the case of a spill or release. The board also reminded the company it must file an evacuation plan six months before the pipeline expansion is operational. This was announced recently along with the board’s approval of a variance which allows Trans Mountain to reconfigure

the new oil storage tanks on Burnaby Mountain.That plan reduces the diameter of five of 14 oil storage tanks, increases space between tanks, and reconfigures the spill containment system, all of which are meant to reduce the risk of fire. The NEB also recognized the city of Burnaby’s concerns about emergen-

cy planning and evacuation in a report, but said Trans Mountain’s emergency plans, which include evacuating people who live and work on Burnaby Mountain in case of an emergency, is acceptable. “In the board’s view, evacuation of people in advance of a hazardous event represents an acceptable in-

Entering his final days as a member of parliament, Kennedy Stewart says he has “no regrets” entering a crowded race to become mayor of Vancouver and potentially leaving his seat empty for over a year. Stewart, who was elected under the NDP banner in Burnaby Douglas in 2011 and in Burnaby South in 2015, plans to tender his resignation in July or August.

If a by-election is called before October 2019, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh may run to replace Stewart. New Democrats chose Singh, a former Ontario member of provincial parliament, to helm the federal party last year despite his lack of a federal seat. “There’s been a lot of discussion about it (Singh running in Burnaby), but no final decision has been made,” Stewart said. “It’s definitely a viable option for him.”

cident management philosophy aligned with industry practice,” reads a letter sent to the company on Friday. Trans Mountain has argued that its risk assessment is industry-standard and appropriate, something NEB agrees with. The NEB also stated that Trans Mountain’s proposed plans to alleviate issues following an unintentional spill or release is adequate. They also noted the pipeline’s overall capacity for the spill containment exceeds B.C.’s fire code requirements. Trans Mountain responded to questions from the NOW with an emailed statement. “Our top priority is the safety of the communities where we operate and Trans Mountain understands the most critical and responsible emergency management strategy is to prevent an incident from occurring at

all. Over the past 65 years, we’ve developed a mature suite of programs that maximize pipeline safety by focusing on preventing pipeline failures. In the case of an emergency, we have detailed emergency response procedures and trained professionals who are prepared to quickly respond to any type of incident anywhere along the pipeline system. “We’ve developed a comprehensive emergency management program based on a combination of regulatory compliance, operational need, industry best practices and lessons learned through regular exercises and actual incidents. As part of our ongoing commitment to safety and emergency preparedness, our emergency response plans are continually reviewed, revised, practiced and communicated with first responders all along the pipeline system.”

Payday-loan changes earn praise Changes to payday-lending practices are earning praise from anti-poverty group BC ACORN. The province has cut the maximum fee for borrowing payday loans, from $17 to $15 for every $100 borrowed. Advocacy groups say the most financially vulnerable individuals have used non-traditional lenders and credit providers, who often impose high borrowing costs. “This is a good step towards tackling the predatory lenders that take advantage of low- and moderateincome people who have no alternative.We are happy that the BC Government is taking the issue of predatory lending seriously and hope they will also increase protections against other types of high-interest lending, too,” said Tabitha Naismith, BC ACORN leader. Limits on fees for cheque cashing, and high-cost loans, will go into effect on Sept. 1, including extending the payday-loan agreement cancellation period, so a payday-loan borrower now has two full business days to cancel the loan without penalty, and capping the fee for cashing a social assistance or disability cheque at $2, plus one per cent of the value of the cheque, up to a maximum fee of $10.

Fixing casino money laundering isn’t enough

When the BC Liberals were first elected to run the provincial government in 2001, one of their campaign planks was to “stop expansion” of gambling because of its associated problems. Once in power, however, that didn’t happen. Gambling has expanded at a furious pace in the years since, with several new casinos built, as well as gaming centres that mix bingo and slot machines.The reason, of course, is money. Casinos generate huge profits and the province gets a big, wet, juicy slice.

Whether people should be for or against casinos is not the point of this editorial – it’s how these casinos have been run in B.C. that is the problem. As outlined in a 247-page report written by a former RCMP deputy commissioner Peter German, our province’s casinos have been used by organized crime to launder dirty money. “For many years, Lower Mainland casinos unwittingly served as laundromats for the proceeds of organized crime,” German said.

It’s the “unwittingly” comment that we’re not so sure about.The report details the so-called “Vancouver model,” where organized crime lenders used mostly gamblers from China to take bags of dirty $20 bills to play in our local casinos, leaving with nowclean money that was later used to buy vast amounts of Metro Vancouver real estate. These purchases then drove up the price of our local real estate. In releasing the report, B.C. Attorney General David Eby said the province

will work to implement the report’s 48 recommendations to put a stop to the problem. That’s good. So was commissioning the report to reveal the problem. But the people who turned a blind eye to the problem need to be held accountable for letting it happen.We don’t believe them when they say that a person bringing bags and bags of cash into a casino wasn’t suspicious. The report details one incident at the Starlight Casino in New Westminster, when someone came in

with $3.1 million in cash - including $2.6 million in bundled bricks of $20 bills carried in inexpensive plastic bags. Nope, nothing to see here, folks. The BC Liberals were in power during this entire period, but when the report was released, the party sent out rookie MLA Jas Johal to face the music. It wasn’t until later that BC Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson finally stepped forward to weakly say that it’s a “sad exercise” to blame previous govern-

ments – this from the party that screams “Fast Ferries!” every election cycle. BC Liberal MLA Rich Coleman was the minister in charge of gambling and it took him days to finally give interviews.When he did, he had the gall to trot out the “no government is perfect” excuse. We’re not asking for perfection.We’re asking that our province not be sold out for quick casino cash to fill provincial coffers, leaving regular folks to pay the price with unaffordable housing costs.

INBOX KEITH BALDREY

Eby is navigating some tricky roads

David Eby hasn’t even been on the job for a year, but is already establishing himself as perhaps the most dominant figure in B.C. politics (aside from Premier John Horgan). Eby is the attorney-general, yet his plate is filled with policies and files that extend well beyond the traditional scope of the province’s top attorney. And those files have far-reaching implications. His recent release of a bombshell report on money-laundering operations in Lower Mainland casinos will have reverberations that could directly impact the future of both the BC NDP and the BC Liberals. Eby must have known when he asked Peter German to conduct the investigation that the eventual findings would be explosive and cast the previous government in a horrible light. The report effectively shredded the reputations of former key cabinet ministers and soiled the BC Liberal brand. By commissioning the report, Eby single-handedly inflicted more damage on the NDP’s archrivals than anyone could have possibly imagined just a short time ago. If he opts to commission a public inquiry into money laundering, the BC Liberals could be on the defensive for months, if not years, to come (of course, there is no guarantee that a public inquiry would actually accomplish much; everyone involved gets a taxpayer-funded lawyer and things can grind to a halt over time).

German’s report suggested money laundering could be a major component in some of B.C.’s real estate markets. If Eby elects to delve into that area and turns up a lot of nefarious activities, the government’s balanced budget may begin to teeter. That’s because real estate is a huge part of the B.C. economy and provides a giant chunk of revenue to government. Eby is also in charge of the upcoming referendum on electoral reform. A switch to proportional representation would like cause the coalitions that effectively make up both the BC Liberals and the BC NDP to fall apart, or at lease rearrange themselves along different lines. Social conservatives would likely quit the BC Liberals, and the tensions that exist between environmental activists and pro-job labour activists could cause those two groups to split. Finally, Eby is responsible for fixing the financial mess that exists at ICBC. Our car insurance rates are likely to rise significantly, and Eby will navigate that tricky road with difficulty. Put it all together and Eby is on his way to affecting housing prices, weakening his government’s balanced budget, determining our car insurance rates, laying the groundwork for changing the voting system, and therefore putting in doubt the fate of our two dominant political parties. Sounds dominant to me. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC

Copeland named a freeman

One of the most respected and beloved politicians in Burnaby’s history was named a freeman of the city in May. Former Mayor Bill Copeland, a navy veteran, former assistant fire chief and three-term mayor is one of only 16 citizens ever to be honoured with the title.

Time to clean up the protest camp Editor: We are residents from the Forest Grove community in Burnaby. We have been living in this area for over 18 years and enjoy the community until recently. With the ongoing pipeline dispute, protesters building tents and “houses” along the driveway outside (the Burnaby Mountain) Kinder Morgan site is posing safety issues for both drivers and pedestrians. We are not against the protests, but protesters should be protesting in daytime and not building all these tents and construction, staying overnight and causing inconvenience to residents in the community. The area is looking like a dump now. We are really concerned this originally beautiful community is becoming a “tent city.” It is a big, negative impact on our daily lives. We would like to ask, do the protesters have permits and/or the right to build all these buildings/tents/bike racks in the area? We really hope that the City of Burnaby/police can look into this and have the area cleaned as soon as possible. Yonie Cheung, Burnaby

Save the fruit trees Editor: I live in North Burnaby, which is a beautiful part of the city. One of the things I wonder

about is who has responsibility for the boulevard that divides Vancouver and Burnaby? There are a number of great fruit trees that have been planted but aren’t being pruned or maintained in any way. It seems like a bit of a waste to plant them and then not have any one actually look after them. Teresa Marshall, Burnaby

Neglected animals are better off thanks to you Editor: I would like to thank the NOW and all those who came out to our Lock-in for Love event last week. The work of the BC SPCA would not be possible without the incredible outpouring of support from our community. We know that, for some people, seeing animals in a shelter can be sad, but because of your generosity the SPCA is a place where animals who have been victims of abuse and neglect are loved and pampered as they recover and get ready for their new families. If you are thinking of adding a furry friend to your family, we invite you to visit our adoption site at spca.bc.ca/adopt or visit us in person. Last year the BC SPCA rescued tens of thousands of animals in need – animals who are now living wonderful lives because of your support. Thank you so much to everyone who helps us make these “happy “tails” possible in Burnaby. Nicole McBain, manager, BC SPCA Burnaby

More words start with the letter ‘S’ than any other letter. But if you have a hearing loss it can feel as though those words have been removed from your hearing dictionary. You have probably also lost the ability to hear the letters; ‘F-P-K & T’. With untreated hearing loss, you won’t be hearing those words either.

The fastest week of Canadian cycling is finally here and it’s coming to the Heights. This month, cyclists and fans gather from across the Lower Mainland for one of North America’s most recognized professional cycling races. As the weather heats up, the competition heats up, too. Burnaby’s Heights district pays its tribute to the Italian community by welcoming back Giro di Burnaby on Thursday, July 12. Inspired by the famous Giro d’Italia (the second largest pro-cycling race in the world), Giro di Burnaby takes a spot in BC Superweek as one of nine race-cycling events, spread over 10 days of July.The event kicks off on the 1.14-kilometre closed-loop circuit with the Boffo BreveYouth Race at

5:30 p.m., followed by the women’s pro-race at 6 p.m., and the men’s pro-race at 7:15 p.m. Hold on tight! This fastpaced event is about to get even more thrilling. Every year, a prize purse is up for grabs for both the men’s and women’s races. In addition, when you hear the sound of a clanging bell, that means it’s time for a prime (pronounced “preem”) – a sprint contest for cash prizes.The pace of the entire group is heightened as the racers push to win their next lap. The start/finish line at Hastings and Carleton is completed by physiotherapists from Expert Physio. They will be there throughout the race to aid or treat the racers.Visit the beer garden at the corner of Hastings and Madison to enjoy a cold beer, Italian sausages from Rocky’s Meats, and experience the race with

Let the good times roll By Maria Rantanen

An international contingent of racers descends on the Lower Mainland in midJuly for a series of renowned cycling races including the Giro di Burnaby on July 12 in the Heights. The cycling series that spans 10 days is known collectively as BC Superweek.

Criterium on July 7 where cyclists have to navigate tight corners in the Village of Ladner. The third event, the Delta UCI in Tsawwassen, on July 8 is sanctioned by the International Cycling Union (UCI – Union Cycliste Internationale) and participants will be racing for UCI points.

Why is everyone racing in a tight bunch?

Riders are able to go faster and save energy by drafting one another, benelting from a similar kind of pull that Nascar racers get by drafting each other. When the cyclists are stretched out, it means that the

racers at the front of the pack are really going fast and the rest of the leld is drafting off those riders, while struggling to stay together. When the racers are bunched up, that means the pack has slowed down, but that is when a breakaway is most likely to happen!

1/2” X 5”

Very safe! There is a dedicated team of volunteers and professionals to keep things running smoothly and safely. Bales of hay are used to protect the riders in the event of a fall; secure fencing is set up around the course to keep the race contained; and there is a fully trained, on-site medical team (just in case).

Spectator safety at the Giro di Burnaby Here are a few common sense tips to keep in mind on race day:

• For the safety of the spectators and racers, please obey the race marshals at all times.

Yes. Riders are part of a team with one or two designated “leaders,” or riders capable of winning the race. The rest of the team protects the leaders from crashes, keeps them at the front of the pack, and positions them for the lnal sprint.

• Cross at the designated crossing points along the course and only cross when a designated race marshal indicates it is safe to do so. • Bikes and pace cars can exceed speeds of 60 km/h and the road is reserved at all times during the course of the evening just for them.

How do I know who’s winning?

The winner is the lrst rider across the line at the end of the race. So nobody’s really winning unless there’s a breakaway group of riders pulling away from the pack.

What’s with all the bell ringing?

The bell signals to racers and spectators that there will be a sprint contest (or “prime,” pronounced preem) for money or prizes when racers cross the start/lnish line on the next lap. Spectators, including local businesses that would like some exposure, can donate a prize by handing the announcer cash during the race. Primes don’t have an effect on the lnal standings, but racers love to compete for them. It creates a sprint within the race and causes the speed of the whole pack to increase, making it more exciting and challenging.

Criterium racing is the most action-packed, spectatorWhat’s going on in a ‘breakaway’? friendly form of bicycle road racing consisting of many laps on a course no longer than two kilometres Racers will use this tactic of riding away from the in length and rarely lasting more than 90 minutes. pack, to keep the outcome of the race from being determined by a dangerous mass sprint.

The wheels keep turning for Giro di Burnaby

By Maria Rantanen

Hastings Street will close to traflc at 4 p.m. on July 12 between MacDonald and Madison avenues, and at 5:30 p.m. cyclists from around the world will race in the lrst Giro di Burnaby competition of the day.

That leaves 90 minutes to move barricades into position, to set up fencing and assemble the beer garden, to put hay bales down to protect cyclists, to place cones on Hastings Street separating cyclists going east and west, to hang signage and install portable toilets, to set up the athletes village and move the stage into place, to set up the start/lnish line and construct the gantry across Hastings Street, to put up sponsor banners, do sound checks, get the pace cars – a Ferrari and Lamborghini – in place and to do a lnal sweep of the street before the Boffo Breve Youth Race starts at 5:30 p.m. This kurry of activity over 90 minutes is done by an army of volunteers and

crews of professionals to ensure the cycling criterium race runs smoothly. The Giro di Burnaby attracts racers from around the world as part of B.C. Superweek – a series of races that starts on July 8 in Delta and wraps up in White Rock on July 17 – and organizers have been working hard to make the event experience equal the skill level of cyclists taking part. Rainy Kent, race director of the Giro di Burnaby, pointed out that the Giro di Burnaby wouldn’t happen without the more than 200 volunteers who help every year.

“We have the most amazing volunteer team – I know everyone,” Kent said. “If I say we start at 3:30, they’ll be there. So many have been here since the beginning, since 2006. They live in the community, they love the community.”

Top of the podium: Rally racing’s Allison Beveridge, in the lead, stole the podium in last year’s Giro di Burnaby women’s race. She won the title in a photo finish.

Boffo Breve Youth Race at 5:30, the women’s race begins at 6 p.m. and the men’s race hits the streets at 7:15 p.m. The awards presentation is at 8:30 p.m. With investment in sound and visual equipment – speakers and large screens to project the event out to the crowd – the race is easy to watch from almost any vantage point. Kent loves the sound of the race, as cyclists go around a corner – “whoosh, whoosh, whoosh” – and speed on their way.

getting to the back of the pack in a pro race. She was only 14 years old and had special permission to race. She was almost called out of the race because she was so far behind when another racer leaned over and told her “Get on my tire and don’t let go.” And she raced with an aggressiveness that got her to the lnish line. The next year, she won the “crowd prime” and now she is on the international racing circuit.

To spruce up Hastings Street, new banners will go up this year as the previous banners were getting tired looking, Kent explained. “This year our investment and energy continue to be in community development,” Kent said about the 11th iteration of the Giro di Burnaby, the cycling event whose name rekects the Italian heritage of Burnaby Heights.

Shutting down a section of Hastings Street during rush hour can be a hassle for commuters and locals, but the community of Burnaby Heights is starting to look forward to the event every year. Organizers also draw on sponsorship of local merchants to help put on the Giro di Burnaby.

The mayor and council host a VIP event for sponsors and supporters at Fire Hall No. 5, which is just next to the start/lnish line. Mayor Derek Corrigan will also start the women’s race and Coun. Pietro Calendino will start the men’s race. The national anthem will be sung at the opening ceremony by local Burnaby product Stephen Scaccia.

Company building on laneway housing trend Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

As house prices continue to squeeze out first-time home buyers, a Burnaby company is offering folks a way to realize their dreams of homeownership. My Lane Home, along with PD Moore Homes, designs and builds coach houses and laneway homes across the Lower Mainland.They can be built in place of a carport or garage or on unused land at the back or alley-side of a home. The company was started in 2013 by Paul and Donna Binotto.The north Burnaby residents were inspired to help families after experiencing first-hand what it takes to age in place when a family member needed help. Their goal is to build coach houses and laneway houses to provide families an alternative to the traditional idea of homeownership. The company works with a variety of demographics, from first-time homeowners to seniors interested in downsizing. According to the Binottos, laneway or coach houses can be an affordable option for everyone. If a senior is looking to downsize but their goal is to age in place, the senior might opt to build a laneway or coach house at the back of their existing property. Once it’s built, the senior might have family move into the main house while they move into the laneway or coach

house. One client did just that, and it worked out great, said Donna. “Not only does it allow her children to be able to assist her as she moves along through her years in life, but she takes care of the grandchildren … because the parents are working,” Donna said of the client. “We’re finding that it’s a model that’s very similar to the European model, to a lot of different cultures, and a lot of those cultures are present here in the Lower Mainland,” she added. And it’s an affordable model, too, according to the Binottos. A laneway or coach house, depending on the specifications, can range from $250,000 to $350,000 to build. Because each client is different and has different needs, the Binottos take a very personalized approach to turning the clients’ vision into a reality.The process starts with a consultation and site visit so Paul and Donna can get a sense of what the clients want and what they have to work with. From there, the Binottos handle everything from licensing and zoning with the city or municipality to designing the right interior for the client. “We advise them accordingly.We’ve worked with enough cities that we understand that, and we work in conjunction with PD Moore Homes, that’s the builder,

GOOD FIT: My Lane Home, owned and operated by Burnaby residents Paul and Donna Binotto, builds coach houses and laneway homes in municipalities across the Lower Mainland. The husband-and-wife team wants to offer retirees and first-time homebuyers an alternative to traditional options. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED and we’re able to sort of take them (the client) through,” Paul said. The company has also been in contact with several cities in the Lower Mainland in an effort to extol the benefits of laneway homes and coach houses. Some municipalities like Vancouver and North Vancouver have been quick to jump on board,

while others need a little more encouragement, according to the Binottos. But any progress is welcomed news for the couple. “We work with the cities to provide functional homes,” Paul said. In places like Maple Ridge and New Westminster, My Lane Home has been a big part of en-

couraging laneway and coach home development, he added. In the end, the Binottos hope their hard work will be able to help families as they move along in life. “This takes and gives another tool. It’s not the only tool to a city or a municipality or families, but it’s an affordable one,” Paul said.

Here or abroad, business is all about relationships Paul Holden

editorial@burnabynow.com

For many years, I lived in Hong Kong and conducted business throughout Asia. By travelling across the region, dealing with businesses of all kinds and people from all backgrounds, I learned about the culture of business in the Asia Pacific and the importance of relationships to successfully doing business. Today, from my position here leading the Burnaby Board of Trade and our diverse business community, I can still clearly see the fundamental connection between Burnaby’s own economic success and strong relationships between our city and partners in the Asia Pacific. For people without my personal experience, I understand why they often criticize international trade missions or delegations as junkets. People look at these types of trips and question the cost involved and the value of face-to-face meetings in a digitally connected world. This type of response isn’t wholly unreasonable - after all, what most people see as the outcomes of these trips are photos of people in meetings, attending cultural performances, touring facili-

ties, and making connections with their international counterparts, without much in the way of meaningful, tangible benefits. The connections, however, that those meetings, performances and tours help build, are themselves the meaningful, tangible benefit for us back home. Speaking on behalf of our business community, the relationships established by previous trips and delegations are invaluable to helping local businesses find and seize international opportunities. The City of Burnaby enjoys sister-city relationships with four cities: Kushiro, Japan; Mesa, AZ; Hwaseong, Korea; and Zhongshan City, China.These diverse city-to-city connections are established over years and create a channel for economic, educational and cultural collaboration. More than a marketing exercise or a friendly cultural exchange, I’ve seen that sister-city relationships can form the foundation upon which real economic activity can be established. Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of leading a trade delegation with Burnaby businesses to South Korea as part of a City of Burnaby visit to Hwaseong. The delegation visited four Ko-

rean cities, which each share key economic sectors or characteristics with Burnaby: Gangneug City, a hub for sports and sports tourism; Wanju City, with a cluster of biosciences companies; Seoul, home to Seoul National University; and our Sister City Hwaseong, a hightech centre with both Samsung and Kia as resident businesses. The trip included all of those aforementioned tours, meetings, and cultural performances which the delegation expected would form a part of the trip.What was less expected by the business delegates was the significant attention given to having real, meaningful discussions about potential commercial opportunities.The Burnaby businesses received valuable introductions to Korean business and government leaders, access to various resources and connections to help them enter the Korean market, and meetings with potential suppliers and customers within their industry, all of which would have been incredibly difficult for them to have arranged on their own. But what explained this warm welcome for our local businesses, especially in a part of the world that I know places a heavy importance on establishing a rapport

Choi, Ho collect tennis crowns Henry Choi didn’t have an easy route, but the No. 1-ranked player at the Burnaby Open tennis tournament defended it well. Choi collected the men’s open singles title on Sunday, besting No. 2-rated Carl Ho 6-4, 6-2. The Richmond tennis pro had earlier defeated the No. 3-ranked player to advance to the final. He would pick up his second title of the weekend, working with open doubles partner Fiachra Michael Lennon to upend No. 1-ranked doubles team of Luigi Albarracin and Ho 6-4, 6-3. In the women’s open singles final, Sophia Ho was equally as efficient in protecting her top ranking, besting No. 2 Jayden Nielsen 6-4, 6-3 for the Burnaby title. The wheelchair A final saw Barry Henderson edge No. 1 seeded Thomas Venos 6-4, 6-4.

Canadian men’s ﬁeld team hits exhibition turf

Team Canada’s start to the Three-Nation men’s field hockey tournament has gone swimmingly. As hosts to the tourney against Pakistan and China, Canada has been nothing but gracious – until it came to game time.The Canadians swept the five-game series against Pakistan and out-scored them 24-1 in the process. They began a four-game series with China on Canada Day, posting a 3-1 victory. Canada’s roster features a

handful of local talents, including Burnaby defender Adrien D’Andrade, midfielders Gabe HoGarcia and John Smythe, and forward Iain Smythe. Each has its share of caps for the national side. The team also includes New Westminster’s Brenden Bissett. The series against China continues tonight (7 p.m.) in West Vancouver, with future games on July 5 and 8 (at West Vancouver’s Rutledge field) and July 7 at Tamanawis Park in Surrey.

OAKEYS FINISH UP WITH SILVER For the Burnaby under-19 Oakeys, the 2018 softball season was a smashing success. By finishing second at the North Shore tournament two weeks ago, the squad laid it all on the line and turned disappointment into a perfect characterbuilding experience. The Oakeys entered the North Shore tourney after falling in the district final two weeks earlier in a heart-breaking battle with PoCo.

Burnaby responded as head coach Randy Hirakida had hoped, upsetting the tourney’s top seed in the playoffs. “We weren’t exactly a powerhouse team throughout the regular season, but the girls really stepped it up a notch when it counted most,” said Hirakida. “I think we played our best ball these past few weeks which really did make a nice way to close off our season.”

Give them an ‘A’ for effort. Although the Burnaby Lakers held the hammer for most of the game, they were unable to hold off a dramatic comeback by the Maple Ridge Burrards last Friday in what turned out to be a 13-10 overtime defeat. Leading by as much as five goals, the Lakers were overrun by Burrard snipers in the third, where a three-goal advantage became a tie game. In extra time, Maple Ridge counted the first two goals, then countered with two more after Burnaby’s Shaun Dhaliwal gave the Lakers a glimmer of hope. The loss leaves the Lakers at 4-5, down in sixth place in the Western Lacrosse Association standings. Nanaimo, at 4-5-1-1, currently hold the fourth and final playoff spot, but Burnaby holds two games in hand, and one game in hand on third-place (6-4) Victoria. Hat tricks from Robert Church and Eli McLaughlin went a long way to propelling the hosts into a seemingly solid lead Friday. McLaughlin counted two shorthanded tallies on the night, the second one giving the Lakers an 8-5 advantage 4:35 into the third. But Riley Loewen and Curtis Dickson combined for eight goals and 17 points, as the Burrards peeled off five third period markers to force overtime. In the extra 10-minute session, Loewen and Ben McIntosh gave Maple Ridge their first lead of the night, with goals 36 seconds apart. After Dhaliwal reduced the deficit to a goal for Burnaby, McIntosh and Loewen countered to seal the road win, a win that helped them overtake New West for first place. The defending WLA regular season champions, the Lakers have added some crucial depth for the stretch drive in the form of defenders Nik Bilic and A.J. Kluck and transition player Justin Salt. However, now past the midway point of the season, the team needs to turn some of those games-inhand into wins.The remaining schedule includes two games each against the likes of Maple Ridge (including last night’s rematch in Ridge), Nanaimo, New West and Langley. The Lakers’ next test comes on Friday, 7:30 p.m. when they host New West at the Copeland Arena.

Province to target criminal money in real estate after gaming reforms Following sweeping regulatory reforms to tackle money laundering in casinos, there will be a “second phase” to prevent the potential “whack-a-mole” effect of more criminal money popping up in B.C. real estate, B.C.’s AttorneyGeneral said June 27. In his announcement about implementing significant reforms to B.C.’s billion-dollar gaming industry, David Eby said, “Money laundering in casinos is linked to the real estate market, and housing prices that have made life here unaffordable.” The 48 gaming reform recommendations that are already being implemented or planned for implementation by the province come from an extensive review by independent consultant Dr. Peter German, delivered to the province earlier this year and released June 27. At the announcement, Dr. German said, “We know the same people who arrange for money to be laundered in casinos are buying [B.C.] real estate and advising others on how to conduct real estate transactions.” Dr. German described the possible knock-on effect of the gaming reforms as “like whack-a-mole – you deal with the casinos, and those people could then go to another sector of the economy. Any sector, be it real estate or high-end luxury goods, where people can purchase with large amounts of cash, you want to take a closer look at that industry.”

that indicated they were involved in the real estate sector and also bringing in large amounts of cash.” Number 45 of Dr. German’s 48 gaming recommendations suggests, “That the Province undertake research into allegations of organized crime penetration of the real estate industry.” The Attorney-General confirmed there would be a “second phase” of analysis and potential reform to target money laundering in the real estate market and other sectors. Eby did not offer a timeline for this research. Dr. German made it clear that the dirty money being laundered was not exclusively from Asia. “These days, organized crime is very much a moving target. Definitely there’s an Asian organized crime component, but it’s not exclusively Asian. And if we’re talking about drug trafficking proceeds being laundered, those deals are being done right here, and the money is laundered right here.”

TRUTH IN ''EMPLOYMENT'' ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember. Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad. Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment. If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711, Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.
