Labour group changes vote on BCA Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
After appearing to spurn its longtime allies in June, the New Westminster and District Labour Council has endorsed every Burnaby Citizens Association candidate – except for Mayor Derek Corrigan. On June 27, council delegates from various unions voted to endorse former firefighter Mike Hurley for mayor.They also voted to endorse BCA school trustee Baljinder Narang in her bid for a Burnaby city council seat. They considered and voted down endorsement applications from all seven sitting BCA councillors – Pietro Calendino, Dan Johnston, Sav Dhaliwal, Col-
leen Jordan, Paul McDonell, Nick Volkow and James Wang. At the time, NWDLC secretary treasurer Janet Andrews would not explain the decision. But at a second vote on Aug. 22, delegates chose to endorse the same seven councillors. “We’re pleased to endorse people that we think are going to represent working people in Burnaby,” Andrews said. Andrews did not answer specific questions about what changed over the summer. She also would not say whether delegates considered endorsing other council candidates. “We try to be confidential about the process,” she said. In June, Hurley said he was grateful for the labour council’s

Central Park neighbours hold Shen vigil Maria Rantanen
editorial@burnabynow.com
A handful of people gathered in torrential rain on Saturday at a makeshift memorial for Marrisa Shen, the 13-year-old whose body was found in Central Park in 2017. Some brought flowers, others just spent a few minutes in silence. Keyan Zhuang and his daughter Lillian were there, and he said there is some relief now that a suspect has been charged in the case. “After that, I feel comfort,” Zhuang said. “At least this part of the incident is over.” The Zhuangs have lived in the Metrotown area since 2005, and they’ve usually felt it was a safe area, although Zhuang said he has explored the park and has found evidence of people living there. He added that his wife became especially worried about their daughter after Shen’s death and texts her if she is coming home late to make sure she’s all right. “My mom’s over-protective because I’m an only child,” Lillian said, but she added she probably would be, too, if she were a parent. “You never expect this kind of thing to happen,” her father added.
LOOKING FOR JUSTICE: Keyan and Lillian Zhuang were at Central Park on Saturday to pay respects to Marrisa Shen.

Reunited
The Burnaby NOW was there when a Syrian refugee family was reunited for the first time in three long years
in Refuge
words by KELVIN GAWLEY ! images by CORNELIA NAYLOR
A
s soon as the elevator doors opened, Khloud Ahmad broke into a sprint. She ran into the arms of her daughter Fedaa in the yellow glow of a credit card advertisement at Vancouver International Airport. Weeping softly, they embraced for more than 30 seconds as their family swarmed each other in joy. It had been nearly three years since they last hugged. More than 30 months spent on opposite sides of the planet – Khloud in Canada and Fedaa in Jordan. They had spoken almost every day over the phone and via Facebook, “but that’s not enough,” Khloud said, reflecting on the moment days later at her daughter’s basement suite in Burnaby. Months of planning and discussion led to the reunion. Khloud knew it was coming, but she still couldn’t believe she was holding her daughter once more. The tearful scene reunited Khloud, her husband Mamoun Shebat and their two sons, Mohammed and Fares, with Fedaa, her husband Taj Alsutari and their two sons – Khloud’s grandsons – three-year-old Amir and soon-tobe-one-year-old Zain. Khloud, Mamoun, Mohammed, 19, and Fares, 21, have lived in Burnaby since February 2016. They fled Syria, their war-torn homeland, in 2012 before settling in a Jordanian refugee camp. Fedaa, unsafe in the camp and 18 at the time, married a Palestinian man,Taj, whom she’d never met before.
When the family’s refugee claim was accepted to Canada, they had to leave Fedaa,Taj and baby Amir behind. Ever since they have been forced to watch through screens as their family grew thousands of kilometres away. Fedaa,Taj, Amir and Zain were recently accepted as privately sponsored refugees to Canada.
EMOTIONAL REUNION: (Top photo) Khloud Ahmad hugs her daughter Fedaa Shebat after nearly three years spent apart. (Bottom right) Mamoun Shebat carries his grandson Amir on his shoulders.
They landed atYVR on Aug. 2, greeted by their family members and a few members of a church group that sponsored Khloud and Mamoun in their first year here and will support them financially for their first 12 months. That August afternoon near the baggage carousels was Zain’s first time meeting his grandparents and uncles. The young family has some catching up to do. They need to enroll in English lessons,Taj wants a job – anything will do, as long as it pays, he says – and they want to integrate into their new community. But Fedaa’s parents and brothers have already laid much of the groundwork, and they’re keen to teach them all they’ve learned. Fares says “it’s easy” settling here, with the support of a caring and generous sponsorship group. Fares, his brother and parents have all progressed through several levels of English lessons in their time here. Both young men are taking high school courses at a college in Coquitlam. And all four are em-
ployed. Khloud and her two sons work together at a restaurant in Vancouver, while Mamoun drives a forklift at a large steel plant in Langley. Mamoun loves the job and gets along with his co-workers, who hail from every corner of the world. “I think now I have 1,000, 2,000 friends,” he says with a laugh. In addition to his forklift duties, Mamoun has been able to help orientate new Arabic-speaking employees. Mohammed and Fares are both eager to gain Canadian citizenship
in order to begin post-secondary studies. Mamoun is confident Fares will become a doctor and Mohammed a pilot. The Shebats credit much of their success here to the sponsorship group that helped them every step of the way, especially in their first year. When they first arrived in B.C., the family didn’t know they had a sponsorship group. Khloud said she was shocked to see strangers holding a sign with her name on it atYVR. “Who are these people I don’t know?” she said. But the group’s
coordinator, Marianne Van Delft, explained that they were a group of citizens ready to fully support the family for a year. “I thank God because everything is done for me,” Khloud said. Marianne and the church group taught them how to shop, set up a phone plan and get around town in this foreign land. Slowly, step by step, life got easier for the Shebats. Mamoun thanked Marianne for her help finding him the job he now so enjoys. “I have a mom in Syria and a second mom here,” he says. Marianne says she has learned as much from the Shebats as they have from her. “You’re working with complete strangers, but we are strangers to them and you have to form a trust,” she says. Strengthening that bond has been “the joy” of the experience, she says, “because when that happens, you have a family.” The sponsorship group is shifting its focus to help Fedaa,Taj and their boys. They have a basement suite near Edmonds Community School, where many of the services they need, including English lessons, are based. Marianne said it was a struggle to find a good home for them, but this one is perfect. It’s also less than a kilometre away from Khloud, Mamoun and their boys. Fedaa and Taj have been through years of uncertainty and strife to get to the modest suite in suburbia. But now they can’t help but be optimistic. Taj, a stateless Palestinian refugee born in Jordan, says his first impressions of Burnaby and Canada are positive. (Taj speaks little English and spoke to the NOW via his brother-in-law Fares.) Taj and Fedaa both believe Amir and Zain will grow up happy, healthy and Canadian.The two will soon be attending public school. Fares said it’s difficult to look back on the life they all left behind in Syria, but “there was no future. So we had no choice.” Here, there is a future. The whole family agrees they’re here for the long haul.They’ve found a permanent home. Surrounded by her family, Khloud watches Amir and Zain play joyfully in their new home. “I hope they make a future that is very, very good,” she says.

CAMPAIGN LAUNCH

Singh starts Burnaby campaign Maria Rantanen
editorial@burnabynow.com
Jagmeet Singh, leader of the federal NDP, is officially the candidate for the riding of Burnaby South, but a byelection to fill the spot left empty by Kennedy Stewart has not been announced. Singh accepted the nomination at the local riding association’s nomination meeting, held on Saturday at the Alan Emmott Centre in South Burnaby. Singh, who said he is looking for a place to live in Burnaby South, was chosen as leader of the NDP last year and when Stewart left his position as MP for the riding to run for mayor of Vancouver, the riding opened up for Singh to run in. Singh told the Burnaby Now that it’s been a long time since a federal leader has lived in B.C. and he hopes his profile as a national leader can be used to bring B.C. issues to the attention of federal politics, adding that splitting their time between their federal and local duties is a “reality
every federal leader faces.” “By being a federal leader and being from B.C. will help me shed more light on some of the struggles and some of the problems people face in B.C,” Singh told the Now. “Being a federal leader gives me an ability to raise concerns in a way that’s even louder that will have more impact and I’m hoping to use that to raise concerns that the Burnaby residents are facing,” Singh added. Singh has never lived in B.C., but he explained to the Now that he has visited the province “a lot.” The hall at the Alan Emmott Centre was full of people who had come out to the nomination meeting, including several Burnaby councillors and NDP MLAs. Singh’s acceptance was greeted by applause and cheers.The Green Party of Canada has announced it will not run a candidate in Burnaby South. After the nomination meeting, when asked about the housing crisis specifical-
ly in Burnaby South and in Metrotown, Singh pointed out the same situation is mirrored across the country, and questioned how the federal government could call it a crisis but not promise to roll out funding until after the next federal election. “(Trudeau) could find $4.5 billion for a pipeline immediately but he can’t the funding to deal with the national crisis immediately,” Singh said. He said an NDP government would offer a host of solutions, including nonmarket housing, income supports and support to housing co-operatives. Singh recently was criticized by a group of former NDP politicians for not allowing a Saskatchewan MP to run again as an NDP after accusations of harassment. Responding to questions about criticism from within his own party of his decision not to allow MP Erin Weir to run as an NDP candidate, Singh said his caucus is “united” and he stands by his decision.

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Law needed to oust politicians who are convicted
Imagine if a politician on Burnaby city council was convicted of a crime, such as sexually assaulting a teenage girl. Did you know that the rest of council and the public are powerless to force that politician off of council? It’s true. The nearby community of Pitt Meadows found itself in the same position when a man named David Murray, who was a city councillor at the time, was convicted and then sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment for sexually assault-
ing a 14-year-old girl almost two decades ago. He was convicted in 2017 and resigned amid public pressure four days later. But he didn’t have to. “No other community should have to deal with that,” Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker told delegates at last week’s annual meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities. “It can’t just be business as usual.” Current provincial legislation doesn’t have measures in it to force out politicians convicted of criminal acts. In response to the Murray
situation, the UBCM approved a resolution that local council members be put on unpaid leave from office upon conviction for a criminal offence.That leave would continue until the end of the period allowed for appeal of such a conviction or the end of the appeal process. The resolution also came with an amendment – that conviction for acts of civil disobedience should not bar a public official from remaining in public office. That amendment was narrowly passed.
Vancouver Coun. Adriane Carr suggested the civil disobedience change. “They are acts of a good social conscience.” Carr said. “I would not want to see those officials barred from public office.” Civil disobedience often results in contempt of court charges against protesters who disregard court orders. The charge is a criminal one – and one that protesters against the Trans Mountain pipeline have faced after the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued an injunction on demonstrations
at Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby work site. Vancouver mayoral candidate Kennedy Stewart, who is a former Burnaby member of Parliament, pleaded guilty to contempt in May. Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May also pleaded guilty to criminal contempt in May for her role in a pipeline protest. Smithers Coun. Frank Wray disagreed on removing civil disobedience. “As lawmakers, we set a poor example when we choose which laws we should support and which
we should not support,” Wray said. The amendment does create a hazy situation, but it seems doubtful a contempt conviction for protesting would create the kind of paralyzing situation that the Murray conviction did. We’re happy with the overall resolution. It’s needed – now the provincial government needs to act and change the Community Charter and Local Government Act to protect communities from these types of situations from ever happening again.

LNG could scuttle Green-NDP deal
The strength of the relationship between the BC NDP and B.C. Greens is about to be tested on two fronts. While the two parties disagree on issues, there has been little consequence from those disagreements. For example, the Greens have been demanding since Day 1 of their agreement with the NDP that ridesharing be introduced.The NDP is dragging its heels on that, and life goes on for both parties. The Greens want to move quickly to shut down (or relocate) many fish farms, but again the NDP has delayed taking any action until after the next election. And let’s not even get into the NDP’s decision early on to continue construction of the Site C dam. But two looming issues may ultimately strain their relationship, which props up the government. One of them is the speculation tax, and the other is the LNG project in B.C.’s northwest corner. Green party leader AndrewWeaver appears ready to use his opposition to both in different ways. He intends to introduce amendments to the speculation tax when it is unveiled in the upcoming legislative session (that’s assuming the NDP doesn’t back down in response to widespread criticism of the tax). He could, for example, introduce an amendment that gives cities and municipalities the option on being covered by the tax or not. Where things could get interesting is if the BC Liberals like what they see from
Weaver and vote in favour of his amendments.Together, the two parties can beat the NDP government in a vote. Or perhaps the Liberals, many of whom dislike Weaver, will opt not to support anything he does and keep enough of their caucus out of the house to allow the government to defeat them. But even if the amendments fail and the Greens (and the Liberals) combine to defeat the original bill, it will not result in the NDP falling from power, since individual bills (with the exception of the budget) are not considered confidence votes.The LNG issue may be more problematic for the Greens as it runs directly counter to its core philosophy.The final investment decision for the LNG Canada project near Kitimat is expected to be made in October. CanWeaver support a government embracing an industry that he insists will make it impossible for the province to meet its climate emission targets? He threatened on Twitter over Christmas that he would ensure the NDP government would fall should it approve an LNG project. He has softened his tone – now he wants to see the government’s climate action plan before passing final judgment – but not his opposition to LNG. Weaver can have some fun with the speculation tax, but the problems associated with LNG will sorely test his continued backing of the current government. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Shooter sees red over camera
It didn’t take long for opponents of Burnaby’s first red light camera, installed at Edmonds Street and Canada Way, to register their displeasure. In November, someone sent a bullet through it with a high-powered rifle or handgun. Police were alarmed because the weapon appeared to have been fired in the same direction as some homes. RCMP hadn’t received much feedback on the device, according to Sgt. Bill Shumborski, but he said there had been rumours of a militia group that had vowed to get rid of the cameras wherever they were installed.

Ask election candidates for their views on the arts Editor: With the election close on the horizon, it would be great to know how the candidates in opposition to the current mayor and council stand on issues related to the visual and performing arts. It has been over 50 years since the Burnaby Art Gallery was located to Ceperley House on Deer Lake. The Burnaby Arts Council made a recommendation two years ago to the mayor and council that a new home be created for an art gallery. This recommendation was dismissed by mayor and council, and subsequently our art collection languishes in a building that has become unsuitable for it. Burnaby desperately needs a modern art gallery to move forward in its support of the visual arts. Let us hear how this important matter is supported by all those who would run for mayor and council seats. Darcy Olson, Burnaby
Burnaby’s tree bylaw has too many loopholes for developers to use Editor: The Burnaby tree bylaws need to be updated as soon as possible. Older homes and apartments in our Burnaby
neighbourhoods are being torn down every day. Burnaby tree bylaws require replacement trees to be planted, but mature trees, some up to 80 feet tall, are permitted to be replaced by trees that are “at least six feet tall.” How does that qualify as a replacement? Concern about these inadequate requirements are met with a firm “don’t worry, trees will grow” response. Builders can also just give $500 per replacement tree to the city in lieu of planting. The city uses the money to plant trees on city property. How does that “in lieu of” policy protect our individual neighbourhoods? These tree bylaws are fairly new and have been touted by our current city council planning and sustainability divisions. We need our city to better protect our neighbourhood tree canopies. Trees are crucial to our environment. There are many, many reasons to protect our neighbourhood tree canopies. Trees combat climate change. Trees provide habitat for birds and animals, provide oxygen and clean our air. Trees cool the air and so help to conserve energy. Trees prevent soil erosion, help prevent water pollution and provide flood protection. Trees protect us from UV rays. Trees uplift our spirits. Help protect our trees by voicing your concerns, in writing, to the Burnaby building and planning department and to the Burnaby sustainability committee today. Wendy Fieber, Burnaby

The Local Government Act Sec. 645(1) states “At 10:00 A.M. on the last Monday in September, at the council chambers, the collector must conduct the annual tax sale by offering for sale by public auction each parcel of real property on which taxes are delinquent.” Prospective bidders are advised that it is their responsibility to search the title in advance to determine if there are any charges against the property. All properties are sold as is. All bidders must pre-register to be eligible to bid at the auction. Registration will start at 9:00 A.M. and bidders must have Photo ID, Social Insurance Number and must have in their possession certified funds at the time of registration. Acceptable forms of payment are: certified cheque and bank draft. Cash, debit and credit cards are not accepted. The minimum bid is the upset price, that is, the current taxes and penalties, arrears and delinquent taxes and interest, 5% tax sale costs and Land Title Office transfer fees. Upon completion of each sale, the successful bidder must make payment immediately before the auction continues to the next property. If the successful bidder does not have the full payment required, the property will be put back into the auction. Properties sold at tax sale have a redemption period of one year from the date of the tax sale by the property owner. Properties not redeemed are subject to Property Transfer Tax, by the purchaser, under the Property Purchase Tax Act.

People needed to test their air Metro Vancouver is looking for people to take part in an air quality survey. With the heat and wildfires across the province this summer, air quality advisories became a common occurrence, with warnings issued to people with health concerns, the elderly and infants.The 11-day stretch running Aug. 13 to 23 was the longest period of consecutive air quality advisories in the region’s history. In a series of tweets, Metro Vancouver was appealing to people in the Lower Mainland to take part in its air quality project, also asking people who “have their own air quality sensors” to take part. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), Environment Canada and Metro Vancouver work together to monitor air quality. The BCCDC warns that wildfires are predicted to become more common, making their work to protect vulnerable people more difficult. Metro Vancouver has five air quality monitoring stations in Burnaby, at Bur-
mount, Kensington Park, Burnaby Mountain, North Eton and Burnaby South, where they collect air quali-
ty and meteorological data. For more information, contact AQinfo@metrovan couver.org.

Longtime volunteers honoured by Variety Club Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
Bob and Barbara Stewart (pictured below) of Burnaby will be honoured with Variety’s Gold Heart Award, the charity’s most prestigious distinction, at the Gold Heart Gala this Thursday. Barbara has long been involved with the organization and got her husband involved as soon as he retired as the chief of the Vancouver Police Department in 1991.
“I’ve been involved with Variety for over 40 years and it’s like family to me,” she said, adding it was “overwhelming” to hear they would be receiving the award. “We’re very honoured.” The Stewarts have spent much of their volunteer time fundraising for the charity and helping with office work. All of it, they say, is motivated by a desire to give back to their community and help children. “It’s something you learn
from the start:You need to give back,” Bob said. “It’s just a way of saying thanks, I guess.” Over the years, the two have got their children and, more recently, their grandchildren involved with Variety. The Stewarts said they never volunteered to receive kudos, they did it for the satisfaction of helping others and the award won’t mark the end of their work with Variety. “As long as we can walk
and talk, we’re with it,” Barbara said. “We are extremely proud to be recognizing Bob and
Barbara,” said Cally Wesson,Variety BC CEO. “They have both contributed to Variety in many ways
through time, talent and treasure.Their passion for improving the lives of children is a global inspiration.”

Volunteers from all different areas were honoured at a ceremony in Burnaby on Saturday, where their names have been inscribed permanently into the Citizens’ Plaza. A big tent sheltered the group of former athletes, coaches, sports “builders” and business people as well as recipients of the Kushiro Cup – Citizens of theYear for 2016 and 2017 – as the mayor introduced them and talked about their accomplishments. The city had organized an official dedication of new commemorative paving stones at the Citizens’ Plaza outside of Burnaby City Hall. There are about 800 pavers, each inscribed with the
name of people or groups who have been inducted into Burnaby’s halls of fame. At the ceremony, Jim and Lindy McQueen were honoured with the 2016 Kushiro Cup, and Bill Corson, who volunteers in community policing and Block Watch, was honoured as the recipient of the 2017 Kushiro Cup. The McQueens were recognized for their volunteer work with a myriad of organizations, and praised by the mayor as “role models for others.” “It’s not work,” Lindy said. “It’s a whole bunch of fun.” The Beedie Development Group and Milani Plumbing, Drainage & Heating, both well-established Burnaby businesses, were inducted into the Burna-

SFU striker on point to start season
Forward Emma Pringle pots pair as Clan knocks offWestern Oregon in home opener Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
Emma Pringle looks at goals like some use an old potato chip slogan – can’t stop at just one. Pringle parsed a pair of goals to lead the Simon Fraser University women’s soccer team to a 4-1 victory in their home opener on Saturday. Pringle, a junior from North Vancouver, had set a high bar as a striker last year when she deposited 14 markers in 15 games, ranking her 18th amongst all NCAA women scorers. The new season has seen the five-foot-eight forward continue that pace with five goals in the team’s first five games. In their first conference test against Western Oregon on Saturday, teammate Jenna-lee Baxter got the offence going seven minutes into the contest, spinning two defenders around before lashing a hard shot to the top right corner. Baxter later delivered a perfect cross to Pringle, who headed it into the net for a 2-0 lead at the 31-minute mark. In the second half, the Clan
countered the Wolves’ lone goal with another nifty shot from Pringle, this time from the top of the box that went in off the crossbar. Freshman Teagan MacKay would add a goal later in the contest, to go with an earlier assist. Finishing with two helpers each were Emma Lobo and Baxter. The Clan, at 3-2-1 overall, had nine shots on goal, while limiting Western Oregon to just four. “I’m proud of the way we came out and the speed at which we played.We scored some really great goals and executed our game plan very well,” said SFU head coach Annie Hamel.
GLENNON STRIKES TWICE Keep the ball rolling. The No. 3-ranked SFU men’s soccer team is building a strong case for a higher spot in the NCAA Div. 2 polls, after racking up a sixth straight victory, this time 6-0 over the Oklahoma Baptist University Bison. Sophomore striker Connor Glennon counted a pair in the win, while senior midfielder Mamadi Camara tallied his fourth of the season. Also scoring were Dzenan Bezdrob, Eric de Graaf
and Matteo Polisi. Burnaby’s Luciano Trasolini made two stops to preserve a fourth consecutive shutout. SFU, now 6-0-0, will host its home opener this Thursday, 7 p.m., at Terry Fox field against conference rival Montana State University Billings.
LATE RUN HITS MINE FIELD A late surge showed the kind of spark necessary to challenge in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, but it will take a better start if the Simon Fraser University Clan hope to add to its season-opening win. The Clan fell to 1-2 on the football season following a 52-28 pick-axing from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology on Saturday. Trailing 42-0 midway through the third quarter, the visiting SFU squad got on the board when starting quarterback Miles Richardson hit Rysen John on a 17-yard pass late in the frame to cap an 85-yard drive. The Clan would surrender two more majors to the Hardrockers before responding, this time with Justin Seiber coming in off the
bench for three TD passes. The freshman QB hit John on a five-yard throw, then found Liviano Canil from 17 yards out. He capped the final quarter with a 12-yard strike to Christian Philips, all in under four minutes. Richardson was 24-for-44 for 257 yards and one interception, while Seiber finished 10-of-18 for 127 yards and three majors. South Dakota racked up 486 yards of total offence, while SFU was not far behind with 416. The Clan host Central Washington on Saturday, 6 p.m. at Terry Fox field.
CLAN TOPS IN CROSS COUNTRY In their first run of the season, the SFU men’s cross country team left the opposition in their dust, topping the San Diego Invitational last week. SFU’s Rowan Doherty, Sean Miller and Pierre-Louis Detourb took the top-three slots, while Carlos Vargas placed fifth. On the women’s side, German exchange student Sophia Kaiser placed third while captain Addy Townsend came in fifth spot, to power SFU to a second-place result.
Up and running, the inaugural Simon Fraser University Field Lacrosse Academy at Cariboo Hill Secondary has garnered its share of interest. And as word of mouth spreads, along with any success stories that emerge from the first year, technical director Brent Hoskins expects greater interest and more opportunities for local students. Right now, he’s happy with how things are going, with newly hired head coaches Mackenzie Terrio and Matthew Sobey providing the in-class and on-field direction. “The academy is a partnership between SFU (lacrosse) and the Burnaby school district, and having it based here at SFU allows us bring the programs together,” said Hoskins. “The overall objective is to demonstrate and provide a learning experience and opportunity for young (high school) students, and provide a pathway to post-secondary. “Our goal is to expose them to those opportunities, whether they be at SFU or at Canadian or U.S. colleges.” Both Terrio and Sobey are products of the SFU program, who are wellversed in the operations of the ninetime Pacific Northwest Collegiate Lacrosse League champion. Terrio was a coach with the Burnaby Mountain elite development program for 10 years, while Sobey has seven years of coaching in the Surrey minor lacrosse system, as well as a coach for the B.C. Summer Games. They both starred with SFU and earned various accolades over their collegiate playing careers, and now look to provide guidance for academy students to follow a similar path. Graduates and now assistant coaches with the college program, the pair are perfect matches for the new roles to coach and mentor kids as young as 13. “What we were looking for as we evaluated the candidates for the academy were experience and expertise,” said Hoskins. “It was equally important that they would be outstanding mentors who the athletes could relate with and look up to.” Although the program has only one female student enrolled this semester, Hoskins said that in the coming years he hopes to see more girls – who are a growing demographic in the sport – sign up. There are currently 14 students enrolled the inaugural course, twice a week at the Burnaby Mountain campus.

Sports now Knights stop Robertson STM expects air attack in Friday’s home opener Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
Depth is proving to be a welcomed tool to the St. Thomas More arsenal. The senior AAA football team used its final exhibition test last week to roll out as many players from their 43-man roster as possible, with the end result a satisfying 30-6 win over Samuel Robertson Technical. As the saying goes, like the result, love the effort. “We wanted to make the most of this (exhibition) game and get as many players in as possible,” remarked STM coach Steve De Lazzari. “It gave us a chance to get some good looks at players in various positions, and got everyone a chance to get in a game.” It was virtually a groundKnights game, where quarterback Dario Ciccone made only four pass attempts, while the running backs hit the line hard. Senior Julian Valerio set the tone by gaining 130
yards on nine carries, including a 40-yard major, while Jack Wagner carried for another touchdown. Five-foot-nine back Marc Abboud peeled off 80 yards on just four carries, while fellow freshman Ricky Parsons scampered in for a four-yard TD and scored another major on a 32-yard pass from Ciccone. It was a slightly different offence from the previous week, where Ciccone guided the team with a lot of passing plays. “We chose not to throw a lot (against Robertson), because we had a good ground game going.We’ve got a lot of speed, with (Valerio), and power in Wagner.We’ve also got some other very good options,” said De Lazzari. STM took a 28-0 lead into the second half, and didn’t surrender a major until late in the game. Speed and skill proved to be equally helpful on defence, as the Knights held Robertson in check much of the game.
Veteran defensive linemen Daniel Auld and Sam Steele provided ample leadership, and along with Grade 11s Alex Cordeiro and Wagner, combined for 13 tackles. Vic Domingo and Aidan Rivers, meanwhile, brought down a pair of Robertson passes. Now St.Thomas More hopes the 2-0 exhibition success can translate into regular season results, as they match up against Mount Boucherie on Friday, 4:30 p.m. at Burnaby Lakes in their Homecoming game. The Okanagan rival is known for being more passoriented in attack, which will be a good test for the Knights’ fleet defensive backs as well as the passrushing defence. “We are definitely looking at a good test,” said De Lazzari. “(Boucherie) is usually a spread team that likes to pass a lot.They’ve got some good talent and I think preparation is going to be extremely important.”

Real estate to keep cooling in Metro Vancouver
The frenzied housing market of the past few years seems to have largely cooled, and now a group of property analysts are predicting it will keep doing so. Average Metro Vancouver house prices are expected to rise a median of 1.8 per cent this year, less than half the predicted 5.5 per cent in a previous forecast, according to a small, focused Reuters poll of 16 expert property analysts. The region’s median forecast for next year is a price rise of 1.7 per cent rise, down from the previously predicted 3.4 per cent. That predicted increase is less than inflation, now pegged at 2.5 per cent. When asked to rate housing affordability on a scale of one to 10, where 10 is extremely expensive, analysts put the Canadian market at six, Toronto at eight and Vancouver at nine. That was unchanged from the previous survey in June.
Sebastien Lavoie, chief economist at Laurentian Bank, said, “In Vancouver, the market takes a longer time to find a new equilibrium path due to the intended measures from the [provincial] government to ease overheating pressures. So far, the plan is working well.” National forecast Across Canada, house prices will rise by a median 1.7 per cent in 2018, according to the analysts, which is less than the 1.9 per cent forecast in June. National home prices are set to rise another 2.1 per cent next year, and another two per cent in 2020, they predicted. “We are going to see very modest price growth across all markets,” said Robert Kavcic, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto. “We are seeing Toronto and Vancouver still adjusting to past policy measures and Bank of Canada rate hikes.”
The sentiment that recent market-cooling policies have done their job was echoed by Bank of Montreal chief economist Doug Porter, who in a wrote in note to investors September 17, “The housing market is for now no longer a major source of concern for policymakers, especially with household borrowing decelerating notably.” Statistics Canada data released September 14 showed that Canadian household debt seems to have levelled off. In 2018’s second quarter, the average Canadian household held $1.69 of debt for every dollar of disposable income, down slightly from the same quarter in 2017. The mortgage stress test introduced in January certainly reduced Canadians’ borrowing, with the total value of new mortgages in Q2 around a third lower than in the previous year, according to StatsCan.
