ELECTIONS

RCMP looking into alleged vote buying Burnaby RCMP is helping its Richmond counterpart investigate accusations that two posts on a Chinese social media app crossed the line into vote buying ahead of Saturday’s municipal election.

“Burnaby RCMP has opened a file and will work along with the Chief Elections Officer in Burnaby in assisting Richmond RCMP with their investigation,” reads an emailed statement from Burnaby RCMP. A post last Saturday by the Canada Wenzhou Friendship Society on WeChat, a Chinese multi-purpose messaging, social media and mobile payment app, appeared to ask the 347 members in its private WeChat group to vote for certain candidates in the coming elections and offered a $20 “transportation subsidy.”

Among the recommended candidates from Vancouver, Richmond and Burnaby was local incumbent Coun. James Wang.

“To encourage people to take part in the municipal elections, the Canada Wenzhou Friendship Society will give a transportation subsidy of $20 for those who vote this year,” said the post.

“Please actively participate in voting and supporting Chinese Canadians to take part in politics.”

The Burnaby high school most at risk of structural failure during an earthquake is finally being replaced.

Burnaby North Secondary was first flagged as a seismically risky school in the 1990s.

Nearly three decades later, the province announced Friday it will spend $79 million on a new, safer building. Construction on the project will start next spring, and the school should be ready to open by September 2021.

“This announcement provides an opportunity to design a school that facilitates and supports the

great teaching and learning that occurs here every day, to create a flexible and dynamic environment that honours the importance of place and provides a welcoming space for our students and staff to connect, collaborate and come together,” principal Dave Rawnsley said at the funding announcement in front of the school.

The new 1,800-student school will be built on a different part of the property so students can keep going to school in the current building until the new one is built.

“There’s two options: one would be right in here behind the two buildings on the gravel field and into the staff parking lot.The second would be to explore the

corner of Kensington and Curtis,” Rawnsley told the NOW. “The architects are just in that first phase of planning and looking at what the possibilities might look like.”

The school will come with a 2,000-square-foot neighbourhood learning centre to house child-care facilities, adult education and language development programs.

Education officials agreed the replacement of Burnaby North has been a long time coming.

All local schools built before 1992 have been assessed to see how well they would stand up to “the big one” – a catastrophic quake predicted by geologists when pressure built up between the Juan de Fuca and North

Twenty-four School District No. 41 schools were originally deemed to be at high or moderate risk of damage during a major quake.

The entire campus of 62-yearold Burnaby North is currently rated High 1, a designation assigned to the “most vulnerable” structures at “highest risk of widespread damage or structural failure; not reparable after event.”

The school has been the district’s number 1 seismic replacement priority for years, according to secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill.

BurnabyrallystandsupforSOGIpolicies Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The message to queer youth at a Sunday morning rally was as clear as the blue sky above: “You are not alone.”

That’s what drag queen and transgender man Leada Stray wanted young LGBTQ people to hear at a rally in support of SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity) education materials and inclusive policies in B.C. schools.

Stray told a personal story of growing up trans.

“In Grade 10, when I was bullied on every side and I was suicidal, a teacher saved my life by saying nothing more than ‘You are OK.’ And so today, right now, I want to thank the teachers that are standing here because the message that you are sending to these kids will save lives.”

Stray was one of several speakers who spoke in front of roughly 100 people gathered at Burnaby Civic Square in Metrotown. A trans flag draped over steps in the square was emblazoned with the phrase: “I will not censor myself to comfort your ignorance.”

The Show Up for SOGI Education rally was organized to counter a recent flare-up of opposition to SOGI policies in the municipal election.Two candidates for trustee in Burnaby have come out against SOGI (Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson and Jimmy Zhao).

“Because that rhetoric has been so prevalent in this election, this was just an opportunity for commu-

nity members, young people, parents, families, service providers to get together to very vocally and very candidly show our support and highlight the importance of SOGI education in schools,” Evelyn McGowan, a coordinator with Burnaby Youth Hub, told the NOW earlier this week.

Local teacher Donna Morgan told the crowd her story of slowly coming out at work as a lesbian. She

said it took many years before she felt comfortable putting a picture of her family in her classroom.

She also said she knew older LGBTQ teachers who never mentioned their partners “because they had so much fear of losing their jobs.”

“I have lived to see it get better,” Morgan said.

Morgan addressed some of the rhetoric coming from SOGI opponents during an

BFC receives anti-SOGI group’s endorsement Kelvin Gawley

A Burnaby city council hopeful says he doesn’t know why he was endorsed by an anti-SOGI group.

Charter Lau and his five fellow Burnaby First Coalition candidates were endorsed by Let’s Vote Association, which describes itself online as a society promoting political engagement and helping “Canadian citizens and permanent residents, [especially] new immigrants, to participate in political parties and help to shape the parties with conservative values.”

The NOW reached out to Let’s Vote for comment but didn’t hear back.

The group also endorsed two Burnaby trustee candidates: Jimmy Zhao and Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson.

The endorsements were shared on Facebook by the Canadian Council for Faith and Family, a group Thompson told the NOW she started.

On Monday, Lau was asked whether he agreed with the current council’s July vote to raise the LGBT Pride flag at City Hall.

“I don’t have a firm opinion,” he said. “I need to study it more.”

Lau said he has heard strong arguments for and against flying a rainbow flag.

“Some of the argument is that by flying a flag, you have this dominion over you,” he said. “And some people say this is just a gesture to support the community that is being bullied.”

City council also voted this summer to support Burnaby’s first official Pride event both logistically and financially. Lau said he would have voted in favour of that event, saying he would support all events “as long as they’re legal [and] as long as people like the event.”

“This idea that teachers can somehow indoctrinate kids – if we do indoctrinate them, it’s towards love and acceptance, not towards changing who their essential self is,” she said.

“I felt cornered into choosing sides in a binary that I realize now wasn’t built for me,” they said.

(Hurley uses they/them pronouns.)

“If kids saw people who looked like me in books, if they were given the education and knowledge to understand what people like me felt like, I don’t think I would feel like I was walking on eggshells through the world today,” Hurley said.

Cyclists feel issues ignored during election

All of the respondents said they support increasing bike infrastructure spending and increasing the amount

of protected bike lanes in Burnaby.

Griffin said whoever ends up on council after Saturday’s vote needs only to look to Vancouver and other jurisdictions to see how

building new bike lanes makes for more daily cyclists.

Housing, the pipeline and public safety aren’t the only ballot-box issues in Burnaby this election.

Some residents will have cycling infrastructure front of mind when they cast their vote.

Cathy Griffin, chair of HUB Burnaby, said she is supporting the Green Party for a myriad of reasons, including its promise to build more protected bike lanes in the city.

In her three years as chair of HUB’s local chapter, Griffin said city council – made up entirely of Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) members – has not been receptive to the group’s concerns and suggestions.

“They completely dismiss us,” she said.

The city is severely lacking in separated north-south bike lanes, Griffin said. Less than one per cent of Burnaby residents commuted by bike, she said, but more people would take up the mode of transport if they

felt safe it was safe.

Griffin said the Gilmore overpass is a prime example – an unsafe route for cyclists that lacks a separated bike lane.

“I’m sure people will think they’re going to be meeting their maker before they get to work or on their way home,” she said.

Most riders aren’t as experienced and “hearty” as Griffin, she said.

“I guess I’ve been cycling a long time, so I feel very confident and comfortable on the road, but in order to bring more people in cycling – and women will tell you this and families will tell you this when they have kids – you need safe, separated cycling paths from both pedestrians and cars,” Griffin said.

HUB sent a survey to candidates for mayor and councillor and received answers from three Greens (Mehreen Chaudhry, Joe Keithley and Carrie McLaren), Francesca Zumpano of Burnaby First Coalition and independents Lee Rankin and Claire Preston. No BCA candidates, nor inde-

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Keeping pot away from youth will be a tough task

Today is the big day – reactional pot is finally legal.

But are we ready for it?

Yes, we know it won’t necessarily be a big change when it comes to people’s personal habits. But is Canada ready for a structured weed system?

For example, one of the biggest reasons for legalizing marijuana is to get it away from teenagers.

Some argue that making recreational pot legal will normalize its use and make it more accessible for young people. Others say there will be more control over it

once it’s in the government’s hands.

With legal weed, parents and agencies supporting youth will have to up their game in talking to young people about potential risks to mental health because teens will always want to experiment.

There is a concern, too, that black market pot won’t go away because of high taxes and teens will turn to it instead of waiting until they’re 19 to buy legally. B.C. will apply a 15-percent markup to pot on its shelves, plus five-per-cent

There is a concern, too, that black market pot won’t go away because of high taxes and teens will turn to it. federal GST, seven-per-cent provincial sales tax and a new 2.3-per-cent regulatory recovery fee from Health Canada.Will all those taxes ratchet up the price and keep criminal drug gangs in business? That is a concern that needs to be addressed.

PLATES POLICY REVERSED The B.C. government

has finally come to its senses and reversed a plan to expand the veterans’ licence plate program to include retired RCMP members.

This idea was always doomed to failure.

When it was first announced, veterans were pretty upset, and rightfully so. As much as we admire

police for the work they do, the veterans’ licence plate program was designed to specifically honour veterans.

Trying to add other people wasn’t designed as an insult to vets, but it was inevitable that it would be taken that way.

The plate program was the domain of veterans and government should have known not to mess with that.

The request for the change came from the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command and the Royal Canadian Mounted

PoliceVeterans’ Association, but a six-week consultation process by Attorney General David Eby’s office found public support lacking.

A group of veterans led a campaign against the change, and that must’ve worked because a provincial government online survey showed a strong majority of respondents (63 per cent) favoured keeping eligibility criteria the same, while only 36 per cent were supportive of expanding it to include police officers.

The lesson is, as always, don’t mess with vets.

The politics of the carbon tax

Can the BC NDP government’s plan to hike its carbon tax to $50 a tonne by 2021 hold up in the face of a growing number of premiers opposed to it? Doing this is presumably a cornerstone of the NDP government’s climate plan (which I noted here last week will be released later this fall).

Evidence shows raising the price on carbon usage is the most efficient way to lower greenhouse gas emissions. However, as a tax on carbon grows in size, it can become a political hot potato.

Certainly, conservative premiers in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan think so. Doug Ford, Scott Moe and Brian Pallister all oppose the carbon tax.

Joining those three leaders in opposing the tax is Alberta United Conservative leader Jason Kenney.

This mounting opposition presents a challenge to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has vowed to introduce a carbon tax set at $20 a tonne starting in 2019, and rising to $50 a tonne in 2022.

Ford and Moe have threatened to go to court to block such a federal tax.

Barring a successful legal challenge, the whole issue of a carbon tax will become a nasty political fight between at least a half dozen provinces and the federal government.

All of which will put B.C. Premier John Horgan in a potentially strong position when it comes to provincialfederal relations.

If Trudeau sticks to his

guns and introduces a new tax next year, Horgan will essentially be his only important ally among provincial premiers.

Horgan may be able to use this scenario as a notso-subtle form of leverage in extracting things from the Trudeau government. Infrastructure funding over and above what has been promised seems likely, as does even more money for spill protection along B.C.’s coast.

A potential fly in the ointment is if Trudeau blinks, and B.C. is left as the only province in the country with a carbon tax that will keep getting more expensive as time goes on.

What would be the impact on the B.C. economy if this province has a $50 carbon tax and pretty well everywhere else has nothing resembling one? Presumably, the impact would not be a positive one when it comes to attracting investment in all kinds of economic sectors.

I can’t see Horgan folding his cards on this, even if Trudeau caves.

He needs a carbon tax – and a big one at that – to allow the LNG Canada project to fit within his climate plan.

However, he may need the prime minister to hold his nerve and bring in that tax over the objections of so many premiers. Carbon taxes can be politically dicey, but they are increasingly vital to have any chance at fighting global warming.

‘Cheeky’ home gets a break

“Cheeky, cheeky, cheeky,” said Ald. Lee Rankin after learning a home on Burris Street was deliberately being built nearly 3,000-square-feet larger than allowed. An inspection revealed the owner had excavated a crawl space to use as a living area, added a library to the foyer and gone over the allowed size in other areas. Despite what it called a “serious abuse of the zoning process,” the planning department said the mammoth house wouldn’t have a significant impact on the neighbourhood and recommended the covenant on the land be renegotiated.

More could have been done to ease housing crisis Editor: The main issue in this year’s municipal election is housing, and on that issue (Mayor Derek) Corrigan and the Burnaby Citizens Association have failed us.

The BCA tells us it is powerless to modify the zoning laws in areas like Metrotown, which is one of the hardest hit by demolitions of affordable rental housing. Yet this is the same neighbourhood where just over a year ago, the BCA completed a major rezoning through the Metrotown Downtown Plan. How is it that the BCA thought it had the authority to do that 15 months ago, but today is powerless?

The BCA also tells us it is powerless to negotiate with developers to ensure preservation of rental housing stock after a redevelopment. In a hot housing market, the City of Burnaby has a very powerful bargaining chip in its hands: the authority to grant zoning changes and building permits.

By claiming it has no bargaining power, the BCA is not saying it’s not possible. What they’re actually saying is that they are unwilling to negotiate on behalf of Burnaby residents to get a better deal for Burnaby. The BCA is refusing to take its statutory duties seriously by improving services, improving housing and allowing Burnaby residents to share in the city’s growth.

The mayor and sitting councillors should be judged on their record. The housing crisis was a well-known problem when the current council’s term started.

Other municipalities have acted, but Burnaby

has, through its acts of omission, made the problem worse.

The BCA should not be judged on its promises for the future. It should be judged on its record.

The BCA has shown, by making excuses and making the problem worse, that it is not competent to govern the City of Burnaby. The BCA should be removed from office on Oct. 20.

Editor: Re: Mayor says fire department is too ‘white,’ NOW, Oct. 10.

Mayor Derek Corrigan’s remarks regarding the racial mix of the Burnaby Fire Department at the candidates’ meeting were disgusting, unwarranted and should have never been aired in public.

His opinion on such subjects should be kept to himself. He shamed the residents of Burnaby and all those who carry the title of mayor.

I cannot believe nor remember a mayor of Burnaby stooping so low in order to obtain needed votes. Mayor Bill Copeland was an excellent mayor, politician and a true gentleman. Never would you have heard such horrific remarks come from his mouth. Mayor Corrigan needs to step down now from the election for the sake of all who live in Burnaby before more damage to Burnaby’s image is done.

Continued from page 1 More than five years ago, a month before the provincial election, then-BC Liberal Premier Christy Clark announced $584 million in funding for seismic upgrades for 45 schools, including Burnaby North Secondary.

The 62-year-old school was listed for upgrades in 2014/15 in a press release

that quoted Clark saying, “Absolutely nothing is more important than keeping our kids safe.”

It turned out the 2013 promise had been an empty one, however, according to the current NDP Education Ministry.

“They didn’t, unfortunately, as we discovered when we transitioned into office, have any plans

or funding in place or any work behind them, and that certainly was not fair to Burnaby families who expected action and got very very little,” Education Minister Rob Fleming said at Friday’s announcement.

The district didn’t get permission to develop a detailed business case for the project until March 2017, according to Horswill.

Mounties have arrested two teenaged boys suspected of slashing more than 100 tires in Burnaby and New Westminster on Thanksgiving Day. Police responded to multiple reports on the morning of Oct. 8 from residents around the 7500 block of 12th Avenue after they woke up to discover their vehicles’ tires had been slashed overnight.

Officers found more slashed tires on vehicles around the 7100 block of 10th Avenue.

In turned out some residents in that area had heard tires being punctured at around 2 a.m. on Monday morning but hadn’t reported it to police, according to Burnaby RCMP. Security video footage obtained by police showed two young males in hoodies stabbing tires and checking

“This vandalism has come with a great cost to these residents,” Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis stated in a press release. “The sheer quantity of vehicles involved is shocking.”

Last Thursday, RCMP arrested a 15-year-old boy

in Coquitlam suspected in the incident, while Ridge Meadows RCMP picked up a 14-year-old boy in Maple Ridge.

Both now face charges of mischief.

City now Senior killed crossing road Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

An 84-year-old pedestrian has died after being hit on a busy Burnaby thoroughfare Saturday.

The man was not on a marked crosswalk when he tried to cross Canada Way

by Ulster Street and was hit by an eastbound vehicle, according to Burnaby RCMP. New Westminster resident Alex Rockhill, who witnessed the crash, said the impact launched the man into the air.

“He flew about six feet in the air,” Rockhill said.

Rockhill’s mother, Adelita, was the first to attend to the man, who was bleeding from a gash in his head, Rockhill said.

Burnaby RCMP said the man was taken from the scene in critical but stable condition but has since died.

Two witnesses told the NOW it seemed the driver had had time to brake but didn’t.

“Maybe he didn’t see him,” Rockhill said.

The driver, who stayed at

the scene, told the NOW he had tried to hit the brakes and steer away but couldn’t avoid hitting the man.

Police, however, are investigating whether speed was a factor, according to an RCMP press release, and they are requesting anyone with dashcam video who was driving in the area of Canada Way and Ulster Street between 3:45 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. to contact police.

Any other witnesses are also asked to contact police.

Contact Burnaby RCMP

at 604-646-9999.

To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.solvecrime. ca.

Police are also reminding residents that October is pedestrian safety month, and pedestrians and drivers need to stay alert through the coming winter months.

“Pedestrian crashes spike dramatically in the fall and winter months because of the shorter daylight hours and poor weather,” states the release.

Two injured in kitchen blaze Cornelia Naylor

Two people were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation after attempting to contain a kitchen fire in a Burnaby basement suite with a garden hose.

Firefighters were called to 4630 Canada Way, near BCIT, at about 11:35 a.m. for reports of a house fire.

They arrived to find

smoke coming from the rear of the three-storey building, according to the fire department. Everyone had been evacuated and two people had already wielded a garden hose at the blaze before firefighters arrived.

“Some people here had gone by, saw the smoke and went in with a garden hose to try to extinguish it,” fire Capt.Thomas Maltman told the NOW.

They were taken to hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, while firefighters knocked down what was left of the blaze.

The fire appears to have started in the kitchen of the basement suite, but the cause is still being investigated, Maltman said.

A section of Canada Way near BCIT was blocked off while firefighters dealt with the blaze.

Burnaby named nation’s third-worst rental market While Vancouver’s rental market is considered extremely costly, a recent report conveys that it isn’t the most expensive Canadian city.

PadMapper’s September 2018 Canadian Rent Report found that the median rent prices for one bedroom apartments in Toronto were actually higher than those in Vancouver.

And Burnaby comes right after those two.

The report analyzes rental data from hundreds of thousands of active listings across the country.

Once a month, it calculates the median asking rents of the top 26 most populous metro areas from the previous month’s data.

However, the data does not include short term or Airbnb listings.

According to September’s calculations, “Toronto remained the most expensive rental market in the nation with one bedroom rent growing 2.8 per cent to $2,200.”

Vancouver came in second, with its median price for a one bedroom apartment increasing 2.5 per cent

to $2,050.

Burnaby saw its one bedroom rental prices climb a staggering 5.1 per cent up to $1,650.

Montreal took fourth spot, followed by Barrie, Ont. in fifth.

In total, 13 Canadian cities saw an increase in rent, while 10 saw a decrease, and one remained the same While Windsor is still the cheapest city to rent in, it saw the largest monthly rental growth rate in the country with a 5.6-per-cent increase last month.

BCA announces 3 new Burnaby school district rec centres, 2 ice sheets ends year with surplus EDUCATION

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Citizens Association is promising to build three new community and recreation centres in the next four years, if its mayor and councillors are re-elected this Saturday.

The new facilities in Lougheed, Brentwood and Burnaby Heights will be built using density bonus cash from developers, according to Mayor Derek Corrigan.

While the facilities have already been planned for, Corrigan said the party

highlighted the plans in a press release because they have not garnered much media attention.

The city had originally planned one new building in Burnaby’s northwest but later decided to split it into two new facilities (Brentwood and Burnaby Heights) to provide more services on smaller plots of land, while preserving green space, Corrigan said.

The city is prepared to hire new project managers to ensure it can build the new facilities within the next four years, Corrigan said.

The party also an-

nounced this week its plans to build twin hockey rinks in south Burnaby at Byrne Creek Community School.

The south Burnaby arena will be located at 10th Avenue and 18th Street in South Burnaby, providing the community with: !two NHL-sized ice sheets for ice sports, !non-ice usage including dry-floor sports, !design for significant public gatherings, !spectator seating including a warm viewing area, !change rooms, meeting room, skate shop and lobby.

District has $4.7 million more than it projected

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school district has closed the books on another school year further in the black than expected.

The district ended 2017/18 with about $4.7 million more than projected in its amended February budget, according to audited financial statements presented at a public school board meeting last month.

An extra $780,000 in revenues (coming from slight increases in government grants, international student fees, investment income and rental fees) combined with nearly $3.9 million less in expenses (due mostly to lower than anticipated costs for salaries, benefits, services and supplies) last year.

Instead of having to dip into reserves to balance the budget, the larger-than-ex-

Steelworkers endorse Hurley Mike Hurley has picked up another union endorsement for mayor of Burnaby ahead of this Saturday’s civic election.

The United Steelworkers union is “encouraging all working people in Burnaby to support him,” according to a press release.

“People who get up ev-

ery morning and go to work need a Mayor on their side.

They need a Mayor who understands their issues and will go to bat for them.

Mike Hurley will be that Mayor,” the union’s director, Stephen Hunt, said in the release.

The New Westminster and District Labour Coun-

cil and Burnaby Teachers’ Association have also endorsed Hurley’s bid to unseat Derek Corrigan.

The United Steelworkers represents hundreds of Burnaby residets, according to the press release

pected operating surplus allowed the district to add just over $1 million to its reserve funds.

The district’s accumulated surpluses now stand at more than $12 million, with about $7 million already earmarked in restricted funds and just over $5 million left in unrestricted funds to “try to balance future year student enrolment change fluctuations,” according to secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill.

The district spent about $1.6 million less than expected on salaries and benefits last year largely because it was unable to fill some teacher, education assistant and support staff positions, Horswill said.

For the same reason, the district spent about $476,000 more on substitutes, he said.

The district was unable to fill about seven teach-

er positions and also struggled to fill EA spots during the year, according to Horswill, forcing school officials to move EAs around and sometimes bring in teachers on call for extra support.

“It is an increased cost for sure,” Horswill said, “but we need to provide the support if we can’t get the EAs.” A 2016 Supreme Court of Canada decision that restored class-size and classcomposition provisions to B.C. teachers’ collective agreement sparked a need for more teachers and EAs provincewide.

To address the EA shortage in the Lower Mainland, the Burnaby school district launched its own full-time education assistant diploma program this summer.

The first cohort is set to graduate in November.

1. Accountability and Openness

3. Housing

1) In the last 20 years, this government has been ignoring Chang’s request to investigate a 20-year old hate crime case.

2) There was a confirmed case of identity theft where the City of Burnaby played a key role in the victimization, including the Burnaby RCMP. 3) Our mayor, Mr. Corrigan acknowledged with CKNW that he knew there was almost nil possibility of winning when he filed numerous litigations against the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project and wasted taxpayers’ 1.1 million.

Chang will introduce the following checks and balance system to prevent systemic corruption: 1) banning elected officials’ litigation for the purpose of serving their populist cause; preventing using taxpayers’ money for their litigation and letting them pay with their own money; 2) posting donation amount and donner of each civic election candidate; 3) implementing a website for Burnaby residents who suffer from systemic barrier, hate crime, identity theft and etc. to share their problems and to get help.

1) To prevent demoviction, the zone of purpose-built rental building should not be changed. In case of re-development, the renters of the building have a priority to re-occupy their unit.

2) Canada needs a long-term housing plan where each local government’s input is included and the federal government provides mandatory funding for each project.

3) To prepare affordable housing for seniors, Chang will provide the City land for free or a long-term lease of 100 years and request our senior level government provide funding.

4) Chang will establish a foundation like Sreettohome in Vancouver and provide homeless people, people with disability and a single-parent household a place to live.

2. Organized crime and Safety 1) To prevent identity-laundering of criminals that buy properties and rent in Burnaby, Chang will implement a comprehensive registration system that requests government-issued photo ID, SIN, country of birth, contact information for home buyer, renters and short- term and longterm visitors including B&B’s customers. Ultimately, The LTSA of New Westminster should add these information in their land title registry.

2) To prevent our first line law enforcement officer from involving in the criminal scheme of identity theft, a commissioner in charge of taking fingerprints of name change applicant will be installed and take over the duty from the Burnaby RCMP.

4. Green City Chang will reduce our GHG by 1) encouraging home owners to install geothermal heating and cooling and solar panel by providing a rebate system with the help of senior level government; 2) installing geothermal heating system in a new public building of Burnaby; 3) installing a greywater system in a new public building of Burnaby; 4) adapting a circular economy model so as to reduce waste to a zero-level in Burnaby.

5. Inclusiveness and Education 1) Chang will provide arts and sport program to children at risk and lowincome household to enrich their lives and help stay in school and stay away from youth gang.

2) Chang will provide space to heritage schools in Burnaby with financial problem, so they can keep their educational program.

3) Chang will provide regular community educational programs to prevent hate crime, school bullying and identity theft and etc.

Business now Walmart now open at Metrotown There’s a new Walmart Supercentre in Burnaby.

Walmart announced Thursday that it has officially opened its latest supercentre, located at Metropolis at Metrotown.

The 118,000-squarefoot store is only the second Walmart to open in Burnaby (the other is at Lougheed Town Centre), and it is a full service store offering produce, groceries, clothing, electronics, home and health and wellness products.

There’s also a pharmacy and photo centre on site, according to a press release.

Walmart took over the location in the southeast corner of the Metrotown mall,

facing Central Boulevard, after Target Canada closed in 2015.

“With today’s grand opening, Burnaby residents now have greater access to quality, fresh groceries, an improved grocery shopping experience and even more shopping convenience,” said store manager Farid Fazeli, in the release. “We are so excited to celebrate this momentous occasion with our customers and associates.”

To celebrate, the retail giant donated $6,000 to local community groups, including Burnaby school district, Burnaby Community Services Society, Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, Burnaby Neighbour-

Signs of fall: Rake and sweep fallen leaves onto your garden. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

October offers advantages Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

Mid-October is an interesting time of year in the Canadian garden.

Experienced gardeners take advantage of the cooler temperatures, moisture in the soil and perennial plants that are slipping into dormancy and are ready to divide and multiply next spring.

Beginner gardeners are knocking the dirt off their knees and cutting the grass “one more time” before they pack it in.

We are here to suggest that there is still more fun to be had in the garden. Here is how: 1. Spring flowering bulbs.

You plant brown, dormant bulbs now and create a show of colour next spring.

Simple. Right now, the selection of Dutch flowering bulbs is at its best.The longer you wait, the lower the selection.The fact is, there is one boat that comes from the Netherlands each fall to Canada.That’s it, so get your bulbs soon. Besides, the sooner that you plant them, the better performance come spring.

2. Dig and divide.The mature hosta in your front yard is in a giving mood right now.Yes, plants have moods. All mature perennials with a fleshy root can be dug up, divided and replanted around your yard.

Or you can give the divisions away to friends and neighbours.We recommend that you use a sharp flat-bladed spade or a dividing knife. Dig up the whole hosta or a large portion of root from your monarda, Shasta daisy or echinacea, etc. Split the root in half, and half again. If it is especially big, you can split it one more time, to create up to eight healthy plants from the mother plant. Save

money and populate your garden, or gardens in your community.

3. Prune.This is the best time of year to prune a cedar hedge. All evergreens lend themselves to fall pruning: junipers, boxwood, yews, spruce or pine. Prune fall flowering shrubs, like a rose of Sharon, now. Leave the hydrangea until spring.

4. Lawn fertilizing.You have heard us say it before: the most important application of fertilizer for your lawn is now, in the second half of fall. Quality lawn food, like CIL 12-0-8, helps grass roots build up natural sugars in the root zone, reducing the chance of snow mold and increasing your lawn’s ability to bounce back in spring.

5. Leaves. Rake leaves off your lawn and onto your garden, covering the surface of the soil up to 12 centimetres thick when dry and four centimetres when wet.

By late spring, earthworms will have pulled them down into the soil and improved soil composition by converting the leaves into nitrogenrich earth worm castings. If you have an excess of fallen leaves, run your lawn mower over them while they are on your lawn, with the wheels set as high as they will go. Many leaves will mulch right into your lawn.

If you have a quantity of leaves, you can rake up the mulched leaves onto your garden.We recommend

that you mulch oak leaves to help them break down quickly.

If you have more leaves than you can use in your garden, add them to your compost and offer them to neighbours who can use this free soil-conditioner/fertilizer.

6. Harvest. Be sure to harvest all fruits and vegetables as they ripen. Our short days and cool nights can induce disease, so it is incumbent upon you to keep on top of your harvest. Feed the spent plants to your compost bin.

7.Tropical plants. If you haven’t brought your tropical plants indoors yet, be sure to do it this weekend.

We recommend this be done in September, however, better late than never.

Place your tropical plants in a sunny window for the winter and apply insecticidal soap if insect problems occur.

Finally, leave your “winterizing jobs” until November. It is too early to wrap evergreens in burlap, hill up roses and apply rodent repellant to fruit trees. More on that later.

Communitynow Chef tips for getting that onion smell off your hands Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@burnabynow.com

One of the biggest complaints I hear in regards to prepping fresh ingredients like garlic and onions is how odours from these ingredients tend to linger on your hands.This isn’t just annoying to yourself – it could also interfere in your social interactions.

Throughout my career as a chef, I have come across several solutions that will help rid you of this pesky problem. Some are better than others, but they all work to some degree.

COFFEE GROUNDS If you drink coffee, then you have them leftover daily.Yes, used coffee grounds.

Keep a supply of them by your sink and use them as a scrub, with or without soap, to help eliminate odours from your hands.

STAINLESS STEEL This has been a longstanding tradition with many home cooks. It is claimed that if you simply rub your hands on stainless steel, odours from your hands will be eliminated. Gourmet kitchen stores even sell little chunks of stainless steel, shaped as small bars of soap, for this exact purpose.

BAKING SODA Make a paste of baking soda and water to scrub your hands with. Baking soda has been known for years as an odour-remov-

ing aid, so why not on your hands too?

LEMON JUICE AND SALT Here’s another example of a scrub combination for your hands.This one, however, will leave your hands lemony fresh, whereas the baking soda idea will leave no pleasant scent at all. A word of caution – if you have any small cuts on your fingers/hands, you will sure know where they are after washing with lemon juice and salt.Vinegar and salt can also be used.Your hands, however, may get dry from the high acid content of the lemon juice or vinegar.

hands with cooking oil in advance to help eliminate the transfer of odours onto your hands, but chances are you will be working with a knife or other sharp kitchen utensils, and the last thing you want is your hands to be slippery.

ments.These will guarantee that odours don’t get transferred onto your hands.

However, there is a cost involved of always having these on hand, and an impact on our environment/ landfills if they are disposed of into the garbage pail.

LATEX GLOVES These are popular with professional kitchens and other food-safe environ-

COLD WATER This is my old stand-by, and I do this more than any of the suggestions list-

ed above.Wash your hands with cold water, with or without soap. Not warm, not hot, but cold water.

Warm or hot water, even if using soap, will cause the pores in your skin to open up – the odours are more likely to get trapped there, and thus will linger even after washing. Cold water, however, will keep the pores closed, and more of the odours will simply wash

away. If you choose to do this without soap, that is fine as a first step – but afterwards, in order to keep sanitary in the kitchen, please follow up with a lathered washing (warm water is fine now that the odors are gone).

Chef Dez is a chef, writer and host.Visit him at www. chefdez.com.

TOMATO JUICE/PASTE Probably one of the costliest solutions here, but this is not only for skunk spray – it works on food smells too.

FLORAL/FRAGRANT SOAPS These are not the most effective as they will usually just mask the odours and not eliminate them, however I do know people that only do this as their solution.

TOOTHPASTE OR MOUTHWASH Yes, these are not just for your washroom. A thorough scrub with toothpaste, or a wash with mouthwash, will leave your hands smelling minty fresh. Just remember to rinse with cold water afterwards.

COOKING OIL This is a preventative measure that I have heard of, but I do not recommend it.The idea is to coat your

BURNABY/ TRI-CITIES WEEKLY SNAPSHOT

B.C. real estate forecast still bullish, despite dismal September Despite B.C. home sales taking a nosedive in September, the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) stands by its month-ago assertion that the “downturn is largely behind us” and that market activity is expected to pick up.

According to BCREA stats released October 11, actual home sales across B.C. totalled 5,573 in September, which is onethird lower than the sales in September 2017 and a plunge of 17.3 per cent in the single month since August.

The average September home sale price in the province was 1.1 per cent lower than the same month last year, at $685,749.

This brought total sales dollar volume in September down to $3.8 billion, which is down 34 per cent year over year.

Every one of the 12 boards cited in the

BCREA’s report saw actual residential sales drop compared with one year ago. These ranged from declines of close to 50 per cent in Chilliwack and the South Okanagan, through Greater Vancouver’s decline of 43.3 per cent and Victoria’s 16.7 per cent, to a relatively modest dip in B.C. Northern at 9.5 per cent, with the smallest drop of 5.4 per cent in the small but robust market of Powell River.

LEVELLING OFF “If you look at seasonally adjusted trends, you’ll see that the downturn – that sharp decline since January – is largely behind us and we’re now levelled off, albeit at a much lower level than a year ago,” Cameron Muir, BCREA chief economist, said in an interview. ”That’s because of the stress test and, to a smaller degree, rising interest

rates that have pulled a lot of demand out of the market, especially in Greater Vancouver.

“However, in some other parts of the B.C. market, sales are trending up on a seasonally adjusted basis, such as in Victoria, for example. Overall, the downturn, the slope of that chart, is largely over.”

Muir remained confident that the province’s monthly sales trends, although they may fluctuate somewhat, will edge upwards over the next six months – with some caveats.

“My expectation is for sales over the next couple of quarters to trend higher, as long as the B.C. economy stays where it is. All our models are pointing in that direction.

However, there are risks to the market – especially if we see interest rates rise higher than expected, which could pull out some additional demand from the market.”

Q u e s t i o n s :

How can your prices be so low?

Can I always expect this deep of a discount?

We cannot always guarantee these savings as the world market sets silver and precious stone prices and they often fluctuate, making your purchase an investment.

我可以經常預期這超級優惠嗎? 我們不能總是保證這些折扣，因為世界市場設定了白銀和寶石價格， 而且價格經常波動。

我怎樣知道貨品是否真的?

Silver Street在過去十二年經驗中，我們只提供最佳質素的首飾。我 們對品質、細節的要求很高，從每件貨品的取材到製成，當中都透過 道德貿易而得。我們的貨品背後都是我們一家人的心意。

Where does the jewellery come from?

We hunt down the best pieces from all over the world and bring them direct to you.

這些首飾從哪來的? 我們從世界各地取得最好的貨品並將它們帶到您那處。
