OOEY, GOOEY FUN: Grade 6 students Anh Do (right) and Janelle Lu had their hands full during a slime-making exercise at a STEM4Girls Day at Cariboo Hill Secondary Thursday. About 200 girls in Grade 6, 7, and 8 were at the school last week to take part in hands-on activities and to hear from women mentors in science, technology, engineering and math careers.

Corrigan chokes up at final council meeting Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
Derek Corrigan has attended thousands of meetings over the last 31 years – council, committees, regional boards and with community groups, businesses, premiers, prime ministers and more. But his final public council meeting as mayor was likely one of the few times the veteran politician became visibly emotional.
Corrigan was first elected as councillor in 1987 and served in that role until being elected mayor in 2002. He won re-election four time before losing to mayor-elect Mike Hurley on Oct. 20. “I feel great about what we’ve accomplished and what I’ve accomplished personally,” Corrigan said. “And as I leave, I wish you all the very best of luck and success in the future in the city that I love.” The former lawyer made the
comments in closing a short council meeting that saw members approve a short list of mostly minor reports and bylaws. Corrigan praised the city’s citizens, staff and councillors. “Let me finish by saying that it has been a great ride over 31 years,” he said. “That’s an incredible span of political life and it has been an incredible privilege to serve the people of Burnaby for that long.” Corrigan will officially relin-
quish the title of mayor on Nov. 5 when Hurley is sworn in. Council will also welcome the Burnaby Green Party’s Joe Keithley. “While we changed some of the people around the table, I don’t think the direction is going to change much,” Corrigan said. Corrigan said he plans to spend more time with his three grandchildren. “Over the course of my career here, I’ve developed both diabetes and hypertension and I’m feeling

healthier already,” he said. The mayor’s comments followed an emotional tribute from Coun. Colleen Jordan, who called his leadership “the glue that held us together.” “I’ve been suffering the last few days – one might call it survivor’s guilt – because it seems like one person is suffering at the hands of the electors when we, as a council, have done things collectively and all together,” Jordan said.

Trudeau ‘petty’ for not calling byelection Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is denying the people of Burnaby South their right to political representation in Ottawa, according to NDP MP Peter Julian. The NDP expected Trudeau to call a byelection for the seat left vacant by Kennedy Stewart (now the mayor-elect of Vancouver) on Sunday but the prime minister only called one byelection for a seat in Ontario. There are currently four empty seats in Parliament, but Trudeau only called a byelection for one – Leeds–Grenville–Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, an Ontario riding without an MP since Conservative Gord Brown died. The prime minister has 180 days after a seat has been vacated to call a byelection.The deadline for Brown’s seat was days away but Stewart resigned on Sept. 14, giving Trudeau until March to call a vote in Burnaby South. Traditionally, prime ministers have called byelections for all empty seats at the same time and, Julian said, so Trudeau is breaking with historical precedent to delay a vote in which federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh hopes to win his first seat in Parliament. “It’s unprecedented and very petty and manipulative,” Julian said. NDP supporters lined Royal Oak Avenue Sunday afternoon for a “burma shave” in support of Singh’s run for the seat.What was

Cops warn about curious strangers at your door A recent break-in investigation has prompted local Mounties to caution Burnaby residents not to give strangers knocking at their doors any information that could make breaking in easier. “During a recent investigation into a break-in at a home, Burnaby RCMP discovered that the homeowner had disclosed information to a stranger who had knocked at the homeowner’s house which potentially aided the thieves,” stated a recent RCMP press release. “The homeowner disclosed to this stranger that they were due to leave the home and arrived home later that day to find that their home had been broken into.” Police say potential victims may get a phone call or a knock on the door from a suspect asking for someone who doesn’t live there. “The suspect may ask followup questions such as, ‘Are you headed out soon?’ ‘Who lives next door?’These questions are asked so that the suspect can gain some insight into whether your home or your neighbour’s home may be an easy target for property crime,” said the release.
Breaking in: Beware of curious strangers coming to your door. PHOTO NOW FILES
To thwart thieves, RCMP recommend the following response. !Politely tell the person that no one by that name lives there. !Don’t feel obligated to open your door to someone you don’t recognize. !Do not divulge any information about yourself or your plans
for the day. !Do not divulge information that may assist a suspect in gaining entry to a neighbour’s home. !Always report any suspicious activity to police, and, if you feel you are not safe, call 911 immediately. Burnaby RCMP is also recom-
mending other measures, including joining a BlockWatch program, to keep homes safe as the darker evenings of the winter months approach. Contact the crime prevention unit at crimeprevention@burna by.ca or 604-646-9811 to learn if there is a BlockWatch near you.
lection. The full statement read: “The deadline for the byelection called today is the end of this month, and the others were only vacated more recently.”
Housing to help women and kids fleeing violence set for Burnaby New supportive housing in Burnaby for women and children fleeing violence was announced last week by the provincial government. Dixon Transition Society will operate up to 20 units of permanent affordable housing for women and children at an undisclosed location. The Burnaby project is one of 12 supportive housing projects announced and part of $734 million over 10 years to build 1,500 transition, second-stage, and affordable housing spaces for women and children fleeing violence. “Women and children fleeing violence need safe, supportive homes,” said Janet Routledge, MLA in the riding of Burnaby North. “All too often, those fleeing violence end up dealing with issues of poverty or homelessness. I am glad that our government is taking much needed action to connect women and children with supportive services and housing.”

City now Hurley won every polling station Kelvin Gawley
kgawley@burnabynow.com
Mike Hurley beat Derek Corrigan at all 34 voting places in a commanding victory over the longtime incumbent. Hurley, who will be sworn in as Burnaby’s mayor Nov. 5, finished with 26,260 votes to Corrigan’s 20,333. Helen H. S. Chang and Sylvia Gung fell far behind
with 2,178 and 549 votes respectively. Corrigan was leading at two polling stations after advance voting. He was ahead by seven votes at Cameron Recreation Centre and five votes Edmonds Community Centre after early voters cast ballots on Oct. 6, 10 and 13. But Corrigan was overtaken by Hurley once the election-day ballots were
cast and counted. Hurley’s decisive victory, with 53 per cent of the vote to Corrigan’s 41 per cent, will force the Burnaby Citizens Association stalwart out of office after 31 years on council (15 as a councillor and 16 as mayor). In 2014, Corrigan likely didn’t break a sweat as he cruised to victory with 68 per cent of the vote over his closer challenger, Daren
Jordan pays tribute
Hancott, who garnered only 21 per cent. In 2011, Corrigan’s margin of victory was even larger – 74 per cent to 16 per cent. Turnout was also up in Burnaby this year, with 49,972 ballots cast, 33 per cent of registered voters and 32 per cent of estimated eligible voters in the municipality.
Continued from page 1 Jordan listed some of Corrigan’s accomplishments including renaming the Greater Vancouver Regional District to Metro Vancouver, helping develop the Mayors’ Council 10-year transit plan, leading the fight against the proposed George Massey Bridge and his dogged opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expan-
sion project. Jordan then turned to music to end her remarks about Corrigan. “Many would think that if there’s a song that represents your style, it would be Sinatra’s MyWay, but I know that it is otherwise,” she said, before reciting a verse from what she said is Corrigan’s favourite song, Tom Petty’s I won’t back down.

Appointment of casino auditor is a bad look
Lost in the frenzy of the recent civic election was a story about Burnaby’s GrandVilla Casino. BC Lotteries Corporation has engaged a third-party auditor to monitor B.C.’s busiest casinos to make sure gaming workers are recording source of gaming funds declarations properly – including the GrandVilla. The corporation determined that more monitoring was needed to ensure that registered gaming workers are consistently and completely accurate in
gathering detailed information on the source of player funds for all transactions of $10,000 or more. This additional monitoring will continue until BCLC is satisfied that its service providers are fully compliant, according to a press release. Beginning Jan. 10, at the recommendation of Peter German – whose report on money laundering in our casinos rocked the province – gaming workers had to collect a source of funds declaration for all cash and
bank draft and certified cheque buy-ins for $10,000 or more in one or more transactions within a 24hour period.This information must be provided before the customer is allowed to buy in.The declaration must include the financial institution, branch number and account number related to the buy-in as well as the customer’s signature, and in some circumstances, supporting documentation is also required. If a customer doesn’t provide the required information, or refuses to
sign the source of funds declaration, the service provider must refuse the transaction, document the refusal and notify BCLD and Gaming Policy and Enforcement Branch Compliance Division (GPEB). With all the protestations from gaming officials that everything was already being done to prevent money laundering – “move along, nothing to see here!” – we’re disturbed that a sort of cash babysitter needed to be appointed to ensure casino workers are doing their jobs.
STAYING SAFE ON HALLOWEEN Today is Halloween and that means parties for adults and everything that goes with that. Fraser Health sent out some handy tips if you plan on using alcohol and/or other drugs: !Know your tolerance: Use less than before if you are also taking certain prescription medications. !No mixing: Do not mix drugs and alcohol; mixing drugs increases OD risks !Know the quality of the drugs:The street quality of
substances is unpredictable, so do testers, go slow, and try to use a consistent and reliable dealer. !Don’t use alone:Tell someone before you use, leave the door unlocked, and have someone come check on you. !Carry naloxone: Naloxone is a medication that can reverse an overdose and is available free to people who use drugs and those likely to witness or respond to an overdose through the BC Take Home Naloxone Program.

Sorting through prop rep rhetoric The ballots for the referendum on electoral reform are just arriving at B.C. homes and already I’m getting tired of the rhetoric and exaggerations. The advocates of switching to a proportional representation model tend to argue their view of the world will lead to a utopian paradise where nothing goes wrong and everyone gets along just swell. And those who favour the current first-past-the-post system darkly suggest any PR system will put extremists right dangerously close to power.The truth is there are pros and cons for both systems. For example, it is true that FPTP tends to lead to a two- or three-party system, where a ruling party rarely gets a majority of the total popular vote. However, one party’s candidate often gets a majority of votes in the riding they are elected in (in the 2017 election, 48 MLAs received a majority win). For some folks, this kind of result is just fine and leads, for the most part, to good government (which it has, many times in this province). However, others feel this is simply not democratic – that a total majority should rule, and that anything less is anti-democratic and leads to voter cynicism. Critics who point to rightwing populists like Ontario Doug Ford being in power due to a FPTP system conveniently forget that a whole bunch of NDP premiers – Dave Barrett, Mike Harcourt, Glen Clark, John Horgan, Allan Blakeney, Ed
Schreyer etc. – benefited from the exact same system. One of the presumed attractions of moving to a PR system is the argument that it will increase voter turnout, particularly among young people. I suspect that would be the case – more parties would have a chance of being elected, and younger voters turned off by a two-party system may find a PR model more accessible for them. And it is clear a PR model would more closely reflect the general popular vote when it comes to determining the make-up of legislature seats. A PR model would also allow some MLAs to be appointed by the party rather than being directly elected by the people. Some folks think this is a travesty because it reeks of backroom wheeling and dealing, while others don’t see much of a problem because the number of MLAs would still be based on the popular vote. Now, a PR system will not cure all of our social or economic ills and it may in fact worsen them. But it is just as likely to out-perform anything resulting from a FPTP outcome. As for so-called “extremist” parties emerging, I think there’s a good chance a social conservative party could garner seats under PR and may hold the balance of power under some scenarios. Neither system is flawless or ideal. But do some reading up, and cast your ballot. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

Shots rang out in old Eatons
Shots rang out in Eatons Centre Metrotown on a Thursday morning in April as two youths robbed a jewelry store. An employee at Kavar Jewellers had just opened the doors of the shop at about 10 a.m. when two boys between the ages of 13 and 16 rushed in. One pulled a gun and shot an employee in the stomach.The pair then smashed the display cases and grabbed jewelry. Before running away, they fired another shot at a person coming to investigate the noise. Police descended on the scene and rounded up many youngsters before letting them go.

Blame the BCA for a lack of diversity on council Editor: Re: Council for old white men, NOW, Oct. 26 Why is Burnaby’s diversity not represented at city hall? The number-one reason is because the majority of council and school trustees are made of BCA members. Let’s look at the stats from Oct. 20. The BCA had 15 candidates running for city council and school board (and) of those 15 only three were women. The Greens ran at total of 8 candidates, three men and five women. Half of the council candidates were women, while their only two candidates for school trustee were women. The BFC ran a total of six candidates for city council - half were women. Now, interestingly enough, two of the three independents running for city council were women, and three of the four independents running for school trustee were women. In this election, more women ran for public office in Burnaby than is represented at city hall. The outcome can be attributed to vote splitting, money and who votes. That is a whole other discussion. I completely disagree with Coun. Collen Jordan. There are no disadvantages for women and, in fact, all the women running outside of the BCA were professionals who were younger and not retired. The only party to have retired people over-represented is the BCA. By continuing to say “voters unconsciously see a man as more professional and credible than a women” is ridiculous, unless of course you are
a member of the BCA, and only nominate three women of 15 candidates to run for office. Janice Beecroft, Burnaby Editor’s note: Janice Beecroft was an independent candidate for Burnaby city council
‘Cry me a river,’ Mr. Volkow, on pensions Editor: Re: Mayor Corrigan deserves pension: Volkow, NOW, Oct. 26 Cry me a river, Mr. Volkow. Really, a pension for mayor after 31 years of service? No way. Your own deputy director of finance indicates that every pay period Mr. Corrigan received a retirement allowance in lieu of pension ($11,932 2014, 2017 $17,945 - most of which went to a retirement allowance.) Hopefully Mr. Corrigan took full advantage of RRSP or TFSAs to sweeten his retirement. And where would such pension dollars come from? Oh, an increase in property taxes, no doubt. I have worked since the age of 16. I am now 64 and have never had a pension. It’s been up to me to ensure that I would have sufficient funds in retirement. Time for a change or pension liability will be bankrupting our province and country. One only needs to look south of the border to cities like Detroit and Sacramento, which have been forced to eliminate or significantly reduce services in order to cover unfunded pension liabilities. Do your job, Mr. Volkow and figure out how to save for your retirement without burdening the taxpayers. Curtis Evans, Burnaby

Man arrested after late-night standoff
What began as a domestic dispute call to Burnaby RCMP Thursday night ended in a five-hour police standoff with a 20-year-old man wanted on a Canadawide warrant. Mounties were called to a duplex in the 7000 block of Canada Way at about 6:30 p.m. for a domestic dispute, according to police. A woman was taken from the house safely, police said, but a man barricaded himself inside, so Burnaby RCMP called in the Lower Mainland Emergency Re-
sponse Team and members of the crisis negotiator team. The surrounding area was evacuate and Canada Way shut down in both directions. Two louds bangs and an officer yelling, “Come out! We have the house surrounded!” could be heard at the home at about 9:40 p.m. Police also used a bullhorn to encourage the man to surrender. “We have a job to do here to make sure everyone is safe,” said one officer. “Let’s make sure we get everything
sorted out so everyone can move on.” Police eventually entered the home at about 11:30 p.m. and arrested the man “without incident,” according to police. He was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant. “We considered him armed and dangerous based on his history,” Lower Mainland RCMP Insp. Dale Carr told media after the standoff ended. -With files from Jeremy Hainsworth

Slime, science and plenty of inspiration
STEM4Girls Days brings students together to learn from women working in traditionally male-dominated domains Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
About 200 girls gathered at a Burnaby high school last week to make slime and to be inspired by women working in science, technology, engineering and math. The Grade 6, 7 and 8 girls were at Cariboo Hill Secondary for two first-oftheir-kind STEM4Girls Days co-hosted by the Burnaby school district and IBM to promote opportunities for girls in the so-called STEM fields. Each day, 12 women working or studying in those traditionally male-dominated fields answered questions, shared experiences and provided inspiration. First, though, the girls got to hone their science-y skills by making slime. “It’s really fun. Making the slime was amazing,” Brentwood Grade 6 student MackenzieWang told the NOW. Wang said she loves math and the all-girl format of the event allowed participants to have fun, learn and temporarily ditch “all those things that girls are supposed to be but aren’t really.” Capitol Hill Elementary Grade 7 student Rachel Laakmann said the all-girl format didn’t make a big difference to her but that “the message is stronger if it’s all girls.” Laakman said she loves science, especially chemistry, and enjoyed the chance to get together with like-minded students.
“It’s really fun,” she said. “I like that I get to meet new people and I get to be around a different environment of people that are like me, that like to do things like technology, science, math. I also really like that I get to do this with my friends and I can learn things while I’m having fun.” The girls got to hear from women working in fields as varied as pharmacology, video games, aquatic biology, civil engineering, meteorology and statistics. Software engineer Gina Yuen works for EA Sports on the company’s NHL game. “This event is close to the heart as a female software engineer, so I jumped on it,” she told the NOW. She said girls who attended last week’s sessions asked “really interesting questions” – including how much money she makes. “Mostly they were excited to hear about what we do, especially when I told them that I work in games,”Yuen said. She has been to all-female mentoring events before, she said, but those were for women already headed into the field. “I think part of the reason the numbers are so low for girls in the STEM fields is that we don’t really get exposure to it earlier on,” she said. “We don’t really have a lot of good role models, so events like these are really helpful, and I wish we’d had them when I was younger.”

B.C. seniors are using too many anti-psychotic drugs British Columbia’s seniors advocate has released a report showing that the province’s seniors exceed the national average when it comes to the use of antipsychotics. The Office of the Seniors Advocate recently released a report highlighting the latest health data for B.C. residents receiving home support and living in long-term care facilities. “These data, released annually by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) are invaluable in telling us about the health of the frail elderly in B.C. who receive home care and live in long-term care facilities,” Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said in a press release. The report includes data about the use of antipsychotic medication without a supporting diagnosis for seniors living in longterm care facilities, and suggests that one in four residents is receiving antipsychotics without a supporting diagnosis.The numbers also show that B.C. has a rate 19.3 per cent higher than the national average and efforts in recent years to reduce the number have stalled, with no reduction in the last year. “Unfortunately, the data show that in B.C., for whatever reason, we are not able to make the gains that other provinces have in reducing the inappropriate use of antipsychotics,” Mackenzie said. “This is troubling, particularly when we look at other data that show our long-term care populations have lower rates of psychiatric and mood disorders and aggressive behaviours than other provinces, and while we have a slightly higher rate of dementia, (3.9 per
cent higher) we have a lower rate of residents with moderate to severe dementia, (3.8 per cent lower). According to the Office of the Seniors Advocate, the data also highlights that B.C. has the oldest and frailest homecare population in Canada, with the second highest rate of caregiver distress in the country.
We can understand the high rate of caregiver distress …
“We can understand the high rate of caregiver distress in B.C. when we look at the population these family members are caring for,” Mackenzie said. “B.C. has the oldest and most frail home-support population in the country. Some positive news is that this year showed a drop in caregiver distress from last year, but there is still an overall increase over the past
five years.We hope the data from this year signals a trend and that may be possible given recent government commitments to increase supports to caregivers.” Seniors at Home and in Long-Term Care, a 2017/2018 Snapshot studies data released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) on the health status for 32,000 people receiving home support services and 34,000 people living in a subsidized residential care facility. The full report can be viewed at www.seniorsadvo catebc.ca. Key findings for the home care population include: * At 80.5 years, B.C. has both the oldest and most frail home care clients in the country, with an 8.2 per cent higher rate of frailty than the Canadian average (this rate has increased by three per cent in the last five years). * B.C. home-care clients have a 26.4 per cent higher rate of dementia, although a 19.7 per cent lower rate of moderate to severe dementia.The prevalence has dropped by four per cent in

Seniors’ care homes will get more money for staffing
The British Columbia government is increasing staffing levels in residential care homes to make sure seniors are getting the quality care they need and deserve. Premier John Horgan has announced a $240-million investment over three years, funding he says will increase the direct care seniors receive to 3.36 hours per-resident day, on average, in each health authority, by 2021. He said the investment means B.C. will finally hit its own target and deliver the care seniors deserve. According to the provincial government, the average direct-care hours were 3.11 per-resident day in 2016, but with this new investment that average will increase to 3.24 by 2019 and will reach 3.36 by 2021. “Staff in residential care homes work incredibly hard and do a fantastic job,” said B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix. “But when residential care homes are understaffed, staff are challenged to deliver the level of care seniors deserve.That is why
we’re working to provide the staffing needed to make life better for seniors and the people who care for them.” By the end of the strategy, the Ministry of Health estimates that approximately 1,500 new full-time equivalent positions will be added, including: 900 health-care aides; 165 registered nurses; 300 licensed practical nurses; 50 allied health-care professionals (physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers); and 100 other health-care workers, including rehabilitation assistants, activity aides and other allied health-care workers. “B.C. seniors and their family members will welcome this significant increase in the care hours that support the most frail and vulnerable seniors living in care homes throughout B.C.,” said B.C. seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie in a press release. “It will mean more help with bathing, feeding and socializing, all the issues identified by those who live in our care homes as what they need.” The province has also
committed to providing funding to support seniors so they can continue living in their own homes longer and help delay or avoid them having to move to residential care.The 2018 budget announced $75 million over three years would be dedicated to expand res-
pite care and adult day programs to better support family and friend caregivers. According to the provincial government, the majority of people moving into residential care are over the age of 75 years and make up 89 per cent of all residential care clients. As of March
31, B.C. had 27,913 funded residential care beds, with 9,112 being operated by health authorities and 18,801 being privately operated. “Caring for seniors is all about relationships,” said JenniferWhiteside, secretary-business manager with
the Hospital Employees Union. “With this significant investment, front-line staff will get the help they need to provide seniors with compassionate, timely care. And it will make work safer for care aides who have the highest injury rates in the health sector.”

Tournament win asserts team’s goal of being ready for next month’s B.C.s dolson@burnabynow.com
One banner down, a few more to go. The St.Thomas More Knights achieved their first aim – chronologically that is – when they captured the B.C. Catholic senior girls volleyball crown last week. With the launch of the playoff season this week, the work continues to complete their 2018 to-do list. The Knights edged TripleA rival Little Flower Academy 2-1 (25-20, 23-25, 16-14) in a tense final to claim their second straight Catholic title. Taking that achievement and putting it to use on the route to the Double-A provincials, which STM will host in about four weeks time, is the virtual key to success. Taking past lessons and playing them forward has got the Knights to where they are ranked No. 2 in B.C. “I think we’ve had a lot of growth over the year (and) faced some major mental obstacles at tournaments,” remarked co-coach Danielle Palo-
poski. “I’ve coached a lot of teams over the years and this one is able to take those mental, I want to say barriers or breakdowns, to really internalize them and learn from them in a really quick way.” It worked well last week, after the squad had closed the books on a 5-2 regular season in the Lower Mainland Independent Secondary School league. Defeats at the hands of Crofton House, rated No. 1 in Triple A, and Notre Dame, as well as a few tournament losses, toughened their resolve. The Knights, with a roster of four Grade 12s, six Grade 11s and three spunky Grade 10s, absorbed those losses with intense interest. “I think we grew a lot mentally as a team, everyone just got on the same page of wanting to win as much as we seniors do,” noted co-captain Sienna Mastromonaco. “The younger players really stepped up and have been playing so amazing.” Fellow seniors Lauren Boddington, Mia Malinowski and Francesca Sandini join Mastromonaco in setting the tone – one that has them hungry to

In a rather non-descript .500 October, a 3-0 victory over the Delta Icehawks was the sign that the Grandview Steelers hoped to see heading into November. On the heels of a disappointing 4-3 setback to the expansion White Rock Whalers, it was the squad’s third win in the past four games. It’s a trend, even so slight, that bodes well as they look to climb the Pacific Junior B Hockey League standings. Surviving a turbulent first period, where Grandview had to diffuse four Delta powerplays to exit in a scoreless tie, the home team took the lead midway through the second frame on Tomislav Zlomislic’s fifth goal of the season. It came with the man-advantage. Less than two minutes later, Mateo Coltellaro counted his team-leading ninth goal of the season. In the third, Jack Hamilton scored to cap the offence, while netminder Cale Dolan was perfect in turning back 32 shots. Grandview, at 9-8, trails third place Delta by four points in the Tom Shaw Conference, and first-place North Van by eight. They will get another chance to stay within striking distance when they host Aldergrove on Sunday, 7:15 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Simon Fraser University senior midfielder Christina Dickson and junior defender Carli Grosso were named to 2018 Great Northwest Athletic Conference Women’s Soccer All-Academic team. Burnaby’s Dickson, a criminology major with a 3.58 cumulative grade point average (GPA), is the engine in the Clan midfield. It is the second time she has been named to the team. She led the team in scoring as a freshman and now, a senior over 55 of 62 games, Dickson has tallied 19 goals and seven assists. Grosso, a kinesiology ma-
jor from Vancouver, has achieved a 4.18 GPA while anchoring the GNAC-best
Clan defence. It’s her third time being named to the All-Academic team.

BURNABY/ TRI-CITIES WEEKLY SNAPSHOT
Metro Vancouver housing market still ‘vulnerable’ despite easing prices The Metro Vancouver housing market is still exhibiting signs of overvaluation as home prices continue to outpace local income growth, according to a new Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s report released October 25. The federal housing agency’s quarterly Housing Market Assessment, which for this edition assessed market activity in 2018’s second quarter, has pegged the region as highly vulnerable for 10 consecutive quarters. Although home price growth is moderating in Vancouver, evidence of overvaluation and overheating remains high as price growth over the past few years has accelerated past what is affordable to most household incomes. “House prices are higher than the price levels supported by the fundamentals,” the report stated. “However, with price growth

growth acceleration. However, low inventory of new home construction and sales has led to little evidence of the fourth risk factor — overbuilding.
Risk factors
National picture
The quarterly Housing Market Analysis analyzes real estate markets across Canada, assessing a combination of four key risk factors: overheating, when demand for homes in the region outpaces supply; sustained acceleration in house prices; overvaluation of house prices in comparison with levels that can be supported by economic fundamentals; and overbuilding, when the inventory of available homes exceeds demand. CMHC reported Vancouver as exhibiting three of the four risk factors for the year’s second quarter: Overheating, overvaluation and price

TOP SALE PRICE***
Despite maintaining a high degree of overall vulnerability, the national housing market is showing signs of easing overvaluation. In the second quarter of 2018, the inflationadjusted MLS average price dropped by 8.7 per cent from the same period in 2017. A decline in sales of pricey single-family homes has also contributed to a decrease in average sale prices. Despite this, CMHC has maintained a moderate overvaluation rating, as a longer period of improved home prices is required to deem national overvaluation low.
