MikeHurley:ThemanwhotoppledCorrigan Burnaby’s new mayor shocked the city. Now he’s plotting a new course to make our city more affordable.

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

You probably had no idea who Mike Hurley was a year ago. He was a firefighter approaching retirement and a union leader with a relatively low public profile. Back then, you almost definitely knew who Derek Corrigan was – and likely had an opinion one way or the other about his long reign as the mayor of Burnaby. What a difference a year makes. Hurley was sworn in to the city’s top job on Nov. 5 after emerging victorious from a hard-fought election that saw him topple the longtime incumbent with a strong party machine behind him. The political newcomer not only beat Corrigan by a comfortable margin – 26,260 to 20,333 – he received the most votes at all of the city’s 34 voting places. So how did Hurley rise from relative obscurity to take over the mayor’s chair? From the start, it was clear one issue was going to dominate the Oct. 20 municipal election more than any other: housing. At his official campaign launch on June 26, Hurley hammered Corrigan and presented an optimistic plan for Burnaby’s future. “I’ve always answered the call to serve the city, and now I want to work with all of you to build a better Burnaby,” Hurley said at the time. If elected, he promised to strike a housing task force with a sixmonth mandate to find solutions to the city’s housing woes. He also promised to streamline the permitting process for new developments and, later in the campaign, committed to a moratorium on rezoning in Metrotown until a plan to better accommodate displaced tenants was in place. Hurley took aim at Corrigan’s refusal to allow permanent homeless shelters in the city.The candidate recounted heartbreaking stories from his firefighting days

MAYOR MIKE: Burnaby’s new mayor, Mike Hurley, ran a steady election campaign offering a new vision for the city. PHOTO NOW FILES of discovering people nearly frozen to the ground in a city without such facilities. Hurley also leaned on his firstresponder background in criticizing Corrigan’s council for freezing hiring at the Burnaby RCMP, which led to its bike patrol squad being cancelled.That cancellation was reversed when council approved new hires in July. From Day 1, it was clear there was no love lost between the two men. After the New Westminster and District Labour Council voted to endorse Hurley, Corrigan accused him of stacking the meeting “with firefighters from all over the re-

gion.” Hurley flatly denied the accusation, telling the NOW: “It’s the same tired old messaging from Corrigan – that it’s always someone else’s fault and never his.” Corrigan maintained throughout the campaign that Hurley was not interested in serving the people of Burnaby but rather wanted to settle a grudge over a nasty labour dispute between the city and the local firefighters’ union. Hurley, of course, denied this and said he was committed to representing all citizens – not just his friends in the fire department. Hurley presented a plan for better recreation centres and trans-

portation, but the election season rarely went a minute before returning to the subject of housing – particularly the so-called demovictions in Metrotown that saw hundreds of rental units lost and, according to some activists, thousands of low- to moderate-income people displaced on Corrigan’s watch. The issue came up again and again as the campaign rumbled along. It was hard to tell whether Hurley’s message of “Time for change” was sticking or Corrigan’s “Trusted leadership” slogan would win the day. But a poll in early October showed the two neck and neck,

and a second two weeks later gave Hurley a healthy lead. Some questioned the accuracy of the survey, but it held true. Now, less than two months into his new job, Hurley has created his housing task force (set to begin meeting in January), created four warming centres for homeless people and has advanced plans to study replacing or upgrading four recreation centres. While he has made progress on these key election promises, 2019 will be a big test for the new mayor. He was swept into office on a promise of change, and Burnaby will be watching closely to see if he can deliver.

Citynow STORY OF THE YEAR

CampCloud:Morethanjustaprotestcamp

The dramatic raid of Camp Cloud was a sad end to a community that grew beyond the city’s patience level Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The corner of Underhill Avenue and Shellmont Street was the epicentre of a controversy that dominated the news in Burnaby for much of 2018 – making it the story of the year. In January, Camp Cloud began as a single trailer parked on the corner across from an entrance to Trans Mountain’s tank farm. It was put there to protest the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. From the beginning, there was a split in the neighbouring Forest Grove community about the camp’s presence. Some residents complained about the camp’s effect on traffic, while others stood in solidarity. In the ensuing months, the camp grew in size and population. Some residents speculated the camp had turned into more than just a protest, evolving into a place for people who were homeless. Camp Cloud residents built a kitchen, a shower and even a two-storey carver’s cabin where they planned to host movie nights. The letters to the editor poured in at the NOW. Many supported the camp’s goals of keeping a watchful eye on the pipeline company. Many opposed the project but said the ragtag camp was dangerous and unnecessary. Some expressed out-

rage the city and police allowed it to stay. The city was forced into action during the summer to respond to complaints about safety. Concrete barriers were erected. Things heated up in the summer, when pipeline supporters clashed with camp members on the mountain. A dramatic video showed a shouting match. A group from Alberta threatened a vigilante eviction of the camp. After initially staying neutral, the city eventually got fed up with the camp and sought an eviction order in August.The order was granted by a B.C. Supreme Court judge who gave the protesters 48 hours to vacate the area. That deadline came and went with the camp still standing and its members defiant. A waiting game followed, with the city and Burnaby RCMP refusing to say when they would enforce the eviction. But the NOW was there when dozens of cops descended on the camp before 6 a.m. on Aug. 16.They arrested all the campers in sight and cleared them from the area. City crews then moved in and cleared the camp with the help of a backhoe. By the end of the day, the site was once again a nondescript patch of dirt on the side of the road, but the memories and resentments inspired by the camp lingered long after.

City now HERITAGE

Historical society will disband after 61 years Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

After 61 years of preserving and promoting the city’s heritage, the Burnaby Historical Society is disbanding. In 1957, columnist Barry Mather and cartoonist Fraser Wilson, both of the Vancouver Sun, joined forces with the editor of the New Westminster-based newspaper The Columbian, Roy Long, to create the society. They felt more could be done to recognize local history and quickly got to work. Since then the society has catalogued and uploaded old photos online, created the Burnaby Village Museum and refurbished the carousel and train that now live there. Roger Whitehouse, now a board member, joined the society when he retired 15 years ago.The UK-born Burnaby resident said he was keen to get involved as soon as he was able. “I think most people, when you live in a community, you want to find out a little bit about the history of the community, what’s happened in the past and what’s brought it on to what it is today,” he said. “I’ve got a general interest in history

and that’s what made me want to learn more by being with those people who are looking at the history all the time.” Whitehouse lists the rescue and restoration of Interurban tram #1223 among its greatest accomplishments. “This tram was going to be wrecked, just burned and demolished,” he said.

This tram was going to be wrecked, just burned and demolished.

The train took people throughout the Lower Mainland from 1913 to 1958 along the now defunct B.C. Electric line. The nearby C.W. Parker carousel at Burnaby Village Museum was also refurbished by the society. An effort to catalogue, preserve and eventually post online a collection of historical photographs now showcases Burnaby’s story for the world to see,Whitehouse said.That effort was

spearheaded by the late Pixie McGeachie, a local author and longtime society member. But over the years, the society’s numbers have dwindled.The group once boasted a membership of more than 100 but now has only 14,Whitehouse said. “We’re not attracting young people; that’s basically the problem,” he said. People can get much of the information they need about local history online and are less inclined to attend monthly meetings in person,Whitehouse said. “It’s very sad, I think,” he said. “That’s the way things are, and I don’t know how you combat that.” The Burnaby Historical Society is disbanding in a process Whitehouse expects to be complete by the end of the year. A scholarship for history students will be taken over by Simon Fraser University, he said. The City of Burnaby has taken over stewardship of the carousel and tram. “The few people we have left feel we’ve done as much as we can with the society in terms of bringing things to life again from the past. We’ve basically done ourselves out of a job,”Whitehouse said.

Happy New Year!

HEALTH

Busy season for crisis line Ever notice how the holiday season starts a little earlier each year? From Black Friday sales that start on Thursday, to holiday music on the radio the morning after Halloween, the stress that often accompanies this time of year can creep up on those who experience mental health and substance use challenges during the holiday season.The good news is that help is just a phone call away. The 24/7 Fraser Health Crisis Line (604-951-8855 or toll-free at 1-877-820– 7444 ) provides immediate, free and anonymous emotional support, crisis intervention and communi-

ty resource information to people of all ages, 24 hours a day, every day. “During the holidays, we usually see an uptick in calls related to depression or anxiety, often associated with an increase in isolation.We also have people who are worried about being able to afford gifts for their kids, or wonder how they’re going to survive their first Christmas without their loved one,” said Dr. Anson Koo, program medical director of mental health and substance use at Fraser Health, in a news release. When they are in crisis, people of all ages are encouraged to call the Fras-

er Health Crisis Line.This includes suicidal thoughts or feelings, mental health problems, substance use issues, family violence, abuse, relationship conflicts, loss, or just plain loneliness. Earlier this year, Fraser Health bolstered the crisis line to create an immediate access point for people who are in urgent need of support related to their substance use. Since the crisis line was expanded from focusing on mental health concerns to include substance use, it has taken 628 calls (from April 1 to Oct. 31) to support people with urgent substance use concerns.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Some resolutions we’d like to see for our community

The presents have all been opened. You are (hopefully) over your turkey coma. Now what? It’s time to start thinking ahead to 2019 and making some resolutions. We have a few suggestions about things you can do that will make life a lot better for yourself and those around you. Here is our list of 2019 resolutions. ! Pay attention – When you are out and about in traffic, please pay attention to what’s around you. It was

a deadly year for road fatalities on our local streets.The victims ranged from drivers to cyclists to pedestrians. No matter which one of those you are, you need to pay better attention – especially drivers because you are driving the most dangerous vehicles.We don’t want to see any more victims. ! Be part of the solution – To the opioid epidemic, that is. Stop thinking it’s just a Downtown Eastside issue. People from all walks of life are dying. Close to 1,500 are dead in B.C. alone due to the opioid crisis, 4,000

across Canada in 2017 – numbers that are likely to be repeated, if not exceeded, by year’s end. A whopping 81 per cent of overdose deaths in B.C. have been linked to fentanyl, with men between 19 and 59 being most likely to die.There are two ways to be part of the solution. One refers to people who use drugs – don’t use alone.Two-thirds of overdose deaths were people using drugs alone. The second refers to people getting a naloxone kit and learning how to use it in case somebody around

you – be it a friend, family member or stranger – overdoses.You could save a life, and that would be a great thing to happen in 2019. ! Vote – It wasn’t exactly a banner year for voter turnouts, either in the municipal elections or the referendum on changing our voting system. City elections had voter turnouts hovering around 30 per cent across the province. In the referendum, it was just over 41 per cent despite the fact that the ballot was literally mailed to homes. All people had to do was check a few boxes, put

the forms into an envelope and drop them into a slot. The 43rd federal election happens on Oct. 21, 2019. Please get informed about the issues and exercise your democratic rights. ! Read the article – This is a personal one for us. When deciding to vent against something in a newspaper, please, do us a favour and actually read the article. Like, all the way through.That way you’ll know if what you’re angry about has actually been addressed in the article.We feel that, if enough people

do this, the world will be a much calmer place. Basically, this means do your research before getting outraged.We all benefit from that. ! Get involved – Our community has so many ways to get involved, and if more people gave even a few extra days a year the impact would be tremendous.This ranges from joining a committee to volunteering for an event to just going around your neighbourhood picking up garbage. Being involved will make you feel connected.

Greens lose big with PR result

The big-tent parties can heave a sigh of relief, while the B.C. Green Party can only look on despairingly as its best chance at escaping the political margins has vanished. British Columbia may have also dodged a bullet that could have allowed the rising intolerance gripping much of the world to gain a foothold. Those are my main takeaways from the recently concluded referendum on electoral reform, which saw voters decisively kick to the curb the idea that a proportional representation model for electing MLAs was a preferred option. It is the third time in the past 15 years that voters have rejected the idea of getting rid of the current firstpast-the-post system. Given the fraying of democracy in so many places, where minority interests disproportionately wield power over a collective majority, I am not surprised at the outcome. Our current system usually produces stable, fairly moderate governments. After all, can anyone make the argument that any of the governments led by W.A.C. Bennett, Dave Barrett, Bill Bennett, Bill Vander Zalm, Mike Harcourt, Glen Clark, Gordon Campbell, Christy Clark or John Horgan were or are really horrible or extremist? Of those administrations – all elected under FPTP – only the Vander Zalm regime could arguably be labelled a bit extreme, and that was really only regard-

ing the abortion issue. Moving to a PR system would have allowed fringe parties to potentially hold the balance of power in the legislature and conceivably be able to push around larger parties that received more votes but need the support folks on the fringe to hold power. In other words, the minority would have held the keys to the car and could insist on taking turns driving it.The price to pay in order to form government could have been a steep one, or one that could prove offensive to so many people. The political fallout of this failed scheme is unclear. The Greens lost the most, since they had the most to gain from a change to PR. One has to wonder whether the enthusiasm within the party itself will begin to wane with no big PR payoff. But will it wane to the point of withdrawing its support for the BC NDP in propping it up into power? I doubt it. I think their partnership will continue. The NDP will wear this referendum loss, but only to a point. For the vast majority of the voters, this wasn’t even an issue, so I can’t see it coming back to bite the New Democrats too hard at the next election. No, the chief certainty is that electoral reform in this province is dead. Now everyone can get on with solving much more urgent and pressing problems. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

Pedestrians, cyclists need to remember road rules Editor: Dec. 19’s Burnaby NOW has articles regarding women pedestrians struck by vehicles in Burnaby. One, Fernanda Girotto, was tragically killed in January 2018 and the other, a 22-year-old woman, was also tragically killed due to being struck by a bus. It does not matter who is right and who is wrong in pedestrian or bicycle-motor vehicle accidents – pedestrians and cyclists are at the greatest risk of injury and/or death. Sadly, there are too many pedestrians and cyclists who do not understand or know of what they can do to optimize their safety. I chair the communications subcommittee of the Burnaby Public Safety Committee. We coordinate public safety messaging and have covered pedestrian safety. At the November Transit Police Chief Community Council meeting, we discussed ways to optimize pedestrian safety. Would you consider including these pedestrian safety tips in the Burnaby NOW? ! Wear reflective and/or light clothing so you are more visible to vehicle drivers, especially when it is dark and rainy thus visibility reduced. ! Cross at a crosswalk. ! Look both ways before crossing. ! Do not step into a crosswalk when lighted hand signal has turned red. ! Make eye contact with drivers. !Don’t use your phone and/or headphones while walking or cycling.

Don’t miss out. ! Dismount from your bicycle before crossing. ! Wear a helmet. Diane Gillis, Burnaby

Education, not profits

Editor: Whenever there is a debate on international education, it always is focused on being a revenue generator. Tuition fees are especially exorbitant for international students, and recruitment of international students is now more about profit than it is about attracting international talent. The following from CUPE BC’s submission to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services is still pertinent: “On average, in Canada, international students pay three times the tuition fees of domestic students. For example, in 2017, the tuition and fees for two semesters at SFU was about $5,520 for domestic students, whereas for international students it was $22,930 – more than four times higher. At UBC in 2017, tuition and fees for two semesters at UBC was about $5,190 for domestic students, whereas for international students it was $36,588 – a shocking seven times higher.” “This is completely unfair and increasingly will restrict access to education in B.C. to the global elite who can afford it. This seriously compromises B.C.’s ability to attract talent and to recruit students from a diversity of backgrounds. “In the context of chronic underfunding, as international tuition becomes a more and more important revenue stream, it could result in postsecondary institutions prioritizing international recruitment over domestic student recruitment.” Dave Ginter, president, CUPE Local 561

Council split over plan for water supply tunnel MetroVancouver tunnel plan means loss of 75 trees Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby city councillors are split over plans to cut dozens of trees in Montrose Park (also known as Second Narrows Park) to make way for new water infrastructure. The Metro Vancouver regional district plans to install the Second Narrows water supply tunnel project with a valve built underground in the park. During a workshop in November, councillors learned installing the valve station would require cutting down an estimated 75 trees.They wanted to know if there was a better alternative and asked staff to study the issue. Staff came back with three potential options for the valve station: ! Proceed with Metro Vancouver’s original design, with the valve station adjacent to the main tunnel shaft.This plan would require cutting 75 trees. ! Install the valve in the Ingleton road allowance about 100 metres east of option 1. Seventy-seven trees would need to be cut. ! Keep the valve station the same as the first option but move connection water mains to reduce the total disturbance area and permanent right-of-way of the project. Staff recommended council go with Option 3, but councillors weren’t convinced. “I’m very disappointed to have to even choose between these three options,” Coun. Colleen Jordan said. “This is a park that will now

contain significant water infrastructure and significant loss to the park.” Jordan questioned why Vancouver’s parks board was able to demand a water line through Stanley Park be tunnelled without a cutand-cover trench disturbing the trees and land above. “I understand we need water. I understand we need new construction for the future,” she said. But, Jordan said, the impacts on the park in all three plans are unacceptable.

I’m very disappointed to have to even choose between these three options.

likely take more time and money to pursue, Dhaliwal said. “I’m very comfortable with Option 1,” he said. At Mayor Mike Hurley’s request, the city’s director of engineering, Leon Gous, explained why staff believed tunnelling through Montrose Park was not feasible. He said the stretch being built through Stanley Park is much longer than the one proposed in Burnaby. “(Tunnelling) certainly wouldn’t have given us any less disturbance,” Gous said. “In fact, it seemed to be more disturbance as well as increased costs with really no benefit to that park.” Council approved plans to go ahead with Option 1, with Jordan and Johnston opposed.

“Just think what North Burnaby is going to think when we say ‘Oh, by the way, we’re cutting down 75 trees.’ It’s going to be very, very bad.” While Coun. Dan Johnston echoed Jordan’s concerns, not all on council agreed. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, who was recently elected as chair of Metro Vancouver’s board, presented a successful amendment to go ahead with the original Option 1, instead of staff’s preferred Option 3. The new plan lacked detailed designs and would

City now COURT

Man acquitted of dangerous driving charge

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man accused of dangerous driving while evading a Burnaby Mountie on a stolen motorcycle has been acquitted of both dangerous driving and failing to stop for a police officer. A possession-of-stolenproperty charge, however, stuck. Jason Schendel was arrested on May 7, after being briefly pursued by an RCMP cruiser in the Edmonds area. At about 7 a.m., Burnaby Mountie Cpl. Alan Windover testified he had seen Schendel standing beside a later model red and white Triumph motorcycle on 18th Avenue and had run the licence plate, which turned out not to belong to the bike. He went around the block, intending to talk to Schendel, but by the time he got back to the spot, Schendel was riding down 18th toward Canada Way. Windover followed him but said Schendel had failed to pull over even after the Mountie turned on his lights and sirens. After riding away from the officer for about 700 metres on a couple of busy Edmonds streets, Schendel stopped only after the Mountie blocked the exit of a gas station Schendel had

tried to cut through, according to Windover. “Corporal Windover described the actions of the motorcycle as creating chaos,” states a Dec. 14 ruling in the case. Windover said Schendel finally fell over with the bike after swerving around the police car, riding over a sidewalk and trying to maneuver past a building. Schendel told a different story. He testified that he had pulled over as soon as it was safe to do so after seeing lights and sirens in his rearview mirror. He said the reason the bike ended up on the ground was because he had failed to put it into neutral and it had lurched forward and fallen onto the ground when he released the clutch. Schendel also said he had had no idea the motorcycle was stolen despite the fact the ignition had been damaged, the vehicle identification number had been removed and he had been found in possession of an open multi-tool that could be used to start it. He said he’d been fixing the bike for a friend. B.C. Provincial Court Judge Reginald Harris didn’t buy any of it. He said it made no sense that Schendel – an experienced motorcyclist and motorcycle repair person

Face masks now required If you plan to visit a health-care facility in the coming days and months, be prepared to wear a face mask if you haven’t had a flu shot. Keeping your face covered is the recommendation of Fraser Health, at the request of the provincial government, which has set a policy for visitors and health workers alike. The province now requires face masks for those not vaccinated against influenza.

– would “continue to hold the clutch in despite being stopped and being off of the motorcycle” or fail to notice the damaged ignition. He also noted Schendel’s 28-year criminal record, which includes 25 convictions for thefts, possession of stolen property, break and enters, convictions for

false pretences, fraud and public mischief. But Harris questioned Windover’s testimony as well, saying it had been inconsistent. “Specifically, he made the barest of notes, he recorded the wrong licence plate number, and he was unable to state if Mr. Schendel was

wearing goggles and yet he testified that Mr. Schendel looked back at him,” Harris said. In the end, Harris ruled there wasn’t enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt Schendel had failed to stop as soon as reasonable or that he had operated the motorcycle in

a dangerous manner. The judge was satisfied, however, that there was enough evidence to conclude Schendel had “willfully blinded himself to the obvious facts indicating that the motorcycle was stolen.” “I therefore find him guilty of possessing stolen property,” Harris ruled.

To our valued readers

e’re excited to announce some important changes at the Burnaby NOW as we continue to adapt and evolve in an ever-changing media landscape. It’s a really fantastic time for the media industry. This digital age we live in offers incredible opportunities for our newspaper. As valued NOW readers, you are consuming your news and advertising in more ways than ever, and we’re always looking for ways to serve everyone who is interested in the kind of hyper-local news that the NOW provides. Since 1983, we’ve provided a level of local news, lifestyle, sports and community stories that nobody else can match. We’ve stayed nimble over the years – adapting and changing to ensure we stay relevant to readers on multiple platforms. We know it’s important to put the right resources in the right places at the right time. To that end, the NOW will move to one edition a week, allowing us to put even more resources into our digital platforms. Starting on December 27, 2018, every Thursday the NOW, with all of the usual flyers, will arrive on your doorstep. And every day, our talented editorial staff will put even more resources into posting the best news, sports and events on our digital platforms for 24/7 coverage at Burnabynow.com.

The NOW will move to one edition a week, allowing us to put even more resources into our digital platforms.

The second big change has already been implemented – we’ve increased our editorial resources in multiple areas. We now have reporters writing on weekends so we have people covering the news that matters to readers seven days a week. In addition to this, we’ve also added some excellent new columnists, such as Bianca Bujan and renowned pollster Mario Canseco – who drills down into the data to produce excellent articles on what people think about the important issues. We’ve also added real estate reporter Joannah Connolly to cover the community’s number one topic – housing affordability. On top of all of this, we’ve hired two regional investigative reporters working on long-term news projects on issues that matter to readers. If anything screams success, it’s boosting the amount of content a newspaper produces, both in print and online.

The result of all of these changes will mean readers receive a bigger newspaper on their doorsteps every Thursday – loaded with all the local news, ads and flyers that they have come to expect from the NOW. We know many readers prefer to get their community information this way, and there’s still very much a place for a printed product in today’s world. Businesses must evolve in order to thrive, and that’s what we’re doing here. We’re excited by this new chapter in the NOW’s history and look forward to serving our readers and clients for many more years to come. Sincerely,

A year in review: We’re looking back at 2018 You don’t know where you’re going until you know where you’ve been. As we get set to turn our calendars to 2019, we’re stopping to take a look back at the year behind us and some of the stories that have made headlines over the past 12 months. From the big issues that have dominated the headlines – and will undoubtedly continue to do so in 2019 – to the small and quirky happenings that caught our attention, we’ve rounded up some of the highlights of Burnaby’s happenings in 2018. JANUARY On Jan. 2, Burnaby RCMP and homicide investigators respond to the first homicide of the year in the 6500 block of Telford Avenue. Called to a two-storey walk-up for a “fight in progress,” local Mounties found 47-year-old Burnaby resident Jwada Hedar-Kadhim in medical distress. Attempts to revive him were unsuccessful.

Anti-pipeline protesters thwart the city’s effort to remove the nucleus of Camp Cloud – a trailer parked near the gates of the Trans

Mountain tank farm at the corner of Shellmont Street and Underhill Avenue. A tow truck was sent to tow away the trailer and a pickup truck nearby but was unable to proceed when protester Uni Urchin jumped on the roof of the trailer and refused to come down. The Fairacres carriage house near the Burnaby Art Gallery goes up in flames. Only an aggressive attack by the Burnaby Fire Department saves the 1911 structure from complete destruction.The blaze had begun in the annex at the back of the building, once part of the Ceperley Estate. About $100,000 worth of Scouts Canada camping equipment had been stored inside. Three collisions in four days at a notorious crosswalk at the bottom of Cariboo Hill leave two injured and 15-year-old Brazilian exchange student Fernanda Girotto dead. Outraged neighbours told the NOW they had warned the city about the crossing for years, but city officials had told them there wasn’t enough pedestrian traffic there to warrant a light. After Girot-

to’s death, however, the city scrambled to put in a pedestrian-controlled flashing amber light, and city council approved funding for a full stop light. The Delta Burnaby Hotel hosts the first of two oral hearings for Kinder Morgan’s $7.4-billion Trans Mountain expansion project. Designed to give the National Energy Board a chance to hear from landowners with concerns about the company’s proposed route, the hearings were closed to the public, and only pre-registered participants and media were allowed in.The measures were put in place to prevent disruptions like those at the 2016 Energy East hearings, which saw protesters make

verbal and physical threats, according to the NEB. FEBRUARY Burnaby’s Brian Bonney, a former provincial government communications director and a former director of the B.C. Liberal Party, is handed a nine-month conditional sentence and 60 hours of community work service for breach of trust. Bonney had pleaded guilty to the charge for using government resources for partisan purposes in relation to the Liberals’ so-called “quick-wins” plan to target key ethnic groups in swing ridings ahead of the 2013 provincial election.

The Lougheed Town Centre Safeway is shuttered as part of a massive

redevelopment project in the area. Shape Properties, which had been leasing the Lougheed property to Sobeys, had ear-marked the land to be turned into a two-acre park during the second phase of the $827-million City of Lougheed redevelopment project.

fore migratory bird restrictions came into effect in late March.

Kinder Morgan gets the green light from the National Energy Board to start construction on its 2.6-kilometre Trans Mountain pipeline tunnel through Burnaby Mountain connecting the Burnaby and Westridge marine terminals. Kinder Morgan had applied to be granted relief from preconstruction conditions so it could clear trees and grade the Westridge site be-

The Burnaby Green Party announces its intention to run a full slate in the October municipal election, with 61-year-old punk rocker Joe Keithley as its mayoral candidate.The group said it was “out to restore some democracy to city hall.” A snowstorm pummels Metro Vancouver, keeping Burnaby firefighters busy with a flurry of MVA calls. The fire department responded to 18 crashes – 13 of them within a two-anda-half-hour period. One pedestrian had to be sent to hospital after being knocked down by a Hummer. Continued on page 12

City now Year in Review: A look back at 2018 Continued from page 11 MARCH Amidst growing criticism of its Metrotown Downtown Plan, city council votes to change its tenant assistance policy to force landlords to pay the equivalent of an extra month’s rent to tenants who have lived in their units for at least 10 years and who face relocation because of multi-family development. (All tenants under the 2015 policy already had to be paid three months’ rent.) Housing activists criticize the measure as an insult to people being uprooted from the neighbourhood. Five thousand peaceful anti-pipeline protesters opposed to the expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline march from the Lake City Way SkyTrain station, past the gates of the Burnaby Mountain tank farm to a gravel soccer pitch off Forest Grove Drive. Nearby,TsleilWaututh First Nation members build a permanent cedar watch house in the pipeline’s path. The Burnaby school district announces it will launch its own program to train education assistants to address a provincewide shortage caused by a 2016

Supreme Court of Canada decision restoring classsize and class-composition provisions back into B.C. teachers’ collective agreement.The full-time education assistant diploma program was to begin in the summer. Arrests of protesters outside Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline facilities in Burnaby escalate after B.C. Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Affleck approves an injunction banning demonstrators from within five metres of the facility. Protesters begin blocking the facilities’ gates in waves, attaching themselves with bike locks and zip ties while awaiting arrest. The Federal Court of Appeal announces it will not hear appeals of National Energy Board rulings against the City of Burnaby and the provincial government.The city had appealed an NEB decision exempting Trans Mountain from Burnaby’s permitting and tree bylaws. Mayor Derek Corrigan was shocked and angry the Federal Court would not hear the appeal, and the city vowed to take it to the Supreme Court of Canada. Continued on page 13

Year in review: A look at 2018

Continued from page 12 APRIL A Burnaby fire captain singes his face pulling an elderly man to safety from the doorway of his burning house. Crews had arrived at the Sumas Street house to find the single-storey house fully engulfed in flames. In the course of sizing up the scene, fire Captain Wade Robertson spotted a man passed out in the front doorway and pulled him to safety. The ashes of a beloved cat are mysteriously returned to a Burnaby woman after being stolen at a New Westminster Burger King. Jennifer Steel’s cat Zsuzsa had been cremated, and her brother was en route to deliver the remains in a cedar urn when he stopped for a burger and someone swiped his bag. After a NOW story on the theft, an anonymous individual dropped off the urn at the New West police station just in time for Easter. Police arrest Burnaby South NDP MP Kennedy

Celebrating Seniors

Give a senior in your life the gift of your time

A provincewide awareness campaign has been taking aim at reducing social isolation among B.C. seniors during the festive season – but it’s a message worth remembering into the new year. The B.C. Care Providers Association’s Gift of Time campaign is working to raise awareness about the loneliness and social isolation many seniors face during a time when many families and friends are celebrating. The campaign reminds people to reach out to seniors living in a care home, or living alone at home. “There is no easy solution when it comes to the challenge of social isolation among seniors, but raising awareness is a vital first step.We hope the #GiftOfTime awareness campaign kicks off an important conversation,” association CEO Daniel Fontaine said in a press release. “When people are celebrating the festive season with loved ones, this is the best time to remind the public to reach out to a senior.” If you don’t have time to visit, the association notes that even spending a few minutes on a phone call can brighten the lives of many

B.C. seniors. “Studies have shown that social isolation for seniors has severe health impacts that increase the burden on the health-care system,” said a press release from the association. “It is shown that those who are more connected with their family and friends lead longer and healthier lives.” While Christmas Day is behind us, there’s still time to reach out to the seniors

in your life as 2018 comes to an end and people prepare to celebrate the new year. According to the B.C. Care Providers Association, social isolation among seniors has been the subject of prominent public inquiries by groups like Canada’s National Seniors Council and the U.S. Senate Aging Committee.The association noted that one study determined that the negative

health impact of social isolation is equivalent to smoking up to 15 cigarettes per day. “There is indeed a growing awareness among our political leaders of the cost of social isolation on our

Police issue warning after the case of a Burnaby caregiver who stole $260,000 from a couple

A Burnaby caregiver who stole $260,000 over 16 months from an elderly couple she was caring for was sentenced to a year in jail and 18 months’ probation recently. In the wake of that case, police offered up these tips to protect seniors from elder financial abuse. ! Keep your financial and personal information in a safe place. ! Have an enduring or continuing power of attorney prepared appointing someone you trust to look after you so that even if you are ill and unable to look after yourself, your finances

Make an effort to keep in touch with a variety of friends and family

will be protected from others who might try to take advantage. ! Ask for help if you think you are experiencing financial abuse. ! Keep a record of money you give away and note whether it’s a loan or a gift.

! For major decisions involving your home or other property, get your own legal advice before signing documents. ! Ask someone you trust to look over contracts and other papers before you sign them. ! Be very cautious if you open a joint bank account; the other person can take all of the money without asking. ! Make an effort to keep in touch with a variety of friends and family so you don’t become isolated. ! Review your finances on a regular basis and report irregularities to your bank.

City now Year in review: Looking back at 2018

Continued from page 13 MAY Police investigate the discovery of human remains at Confederation Park. A member of the public had contacted RCMP after finding what they believed to be partial human remains in a wooded area in the park. Police secured a section of the park, and forensic investigators combed the area for clues. Police confirmed the remains were human but couldn’t say how they came to be located in the park. A SFU grad student is arrested after a group of “kayactivists” block the entrance by water to Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Marine Terminal. Six activists in kayaks paddled to the terminal in Burrard Inlet at about 5 a.m. and two attached themselves to the marine gate while the four others blocked the entrance, attempting to prevent a tanker from entering the facility. SFU student Liam Fox was arrested when RCMP arrived at 9 a.m. A horrific coyote attack in

a townhouse complex near Burnaby Mountain golf course left a three-year-old boy with bone-deep gashes to his head that take more than 100 stitches to fix. Conservation officers said they destroyed a coyote in the area but couldn’t confirm it was the one that had attacked the boy. The City of Burnaby says it will appeal a National Energy Board decision to approve the Trans Mountain Pipeline route through Burnaby.The city said it would appeal the decision at the Federal Court of Appeal. JUNE Trans Mountain Pipeline lawyers use affidavits from two private investigators to urge a judge to close a loophole in a court injunction designed to keep protesters from disrupting work at the company’s two Burnaby terminals.The PIs had infiltrated a protest using fake names to report on protest tactics.

farm, they had mingled with protesters and taken photos on their phones. Retired acting assistant fire Chief Mike Hurley announces he will run for mayor in the October municipal election, vowing to end Mayor Derek Corrigan’s “toxic” reign with support from across the political spectrum.The former eight-year president of the Burnaby firefighters’ union formally announced his mayoral run at the Bonsor 55+ Seniors Centre in front of a crowd of about 100 people. “Our current mayor just doesn’t listen to citi-

zens, and our community is paying the price for that toxic style of leadership,” Hurley said. City councils passes three bylaws to prevent the sale of cats, dogs and unspayed or unneutered rabbits in the city. Under the new rules, pet stores in Burnaby could still adopt out cats and dogs if they can prove they came from a shelter or rescue program, but they cannot sell them for a profit.The new rules didn’t affect any current businesses, as the last store selling pets in Burnaby closed in 2017.

City now Year in review: A look at 2018 Continued from page 20 JULY On Canada Day, housing activists and renters staged a rally to protest the demolition of three low-rise apartment buildings in Metrotown. It wasn’t the first or the last demonstration of its kind as the area continued to be the epicentre of demovictions. In one of the first signs the retired firefighter and political newcomer posed a real threat to incumbent Mayor Derek Corrigan, Mike Hurley received an endorsement from the New Westminster and District Labour Council. Hurley went on to win the election in October.

After weeks of frustration on both sides and uncertainty about the encampments future, the RCMP flooded the camp and arrested several protesters before city crews came in to clear the site with a backhoe. Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh announced his intention to run in the byelection to replace Kennedy Stewart as the MP for

Burnaby South.The party’s new leader, who has never sat in Parliament, said he would move to Burnaby and run there in subsequent elections. For more than a decade, Burnaby’s George Sojka has petitioned the federal government to change the law governing blood sample warrants. He finally got his wish when Helen’s Law passed, extending the timeframe for obtaining a blood sample for a possibly impaired driver from four to eight hours.The law

is named after Sojka’s sister, Helen Francis, who died in a car crash in 2005.

Toxic runoff from a murder victim’s Jeep killed dozens of young fish in a nearby creek. Firefighters doused

City now Year in review: A look at 2018 Continued from page 24 SEPTEMBER The city moved forward with its plans to build childcare facilities, but the plan was over budget, behind schedule and scaled back after the initiative was first promised during the 2014 municipal election. City council approved a contract with Britoco Boxx to install two modular buildings for daycares at local schools. A man who fell down a set of stairs during a personal fire drill in his condo building didn’t have enough evidence to sue his strata for negligence, concluded a B.C. Supreme Court judge. In 2014, James Goddard was timing himself using different escape routes when he says he fell down an exterior staircase.The judge said it wasn’t clear how or why Goddard fell and there was evidence the stairs were properly maintained.

tegrated Homicide Investigation Team announced charges against they man they believe killed her. Ibrahim Ali, 28, was charged with second-degree murder. He is a Syrian national who came to Canada as a refugee, which prompted some refugee organizations and members of the Syrian community to express concern about a backlash against them. With the election just weeks away, the Burnaby First Coalition struggled to

distance itself from the past of some its members.Two of the party’s council candidates had campaigned against LGBT-positive school policies in the past, but said that was irrelevant to BFC. But council hopeful Heather Leung signed the nomination papers of a scathing opponent of school policies meant to educate students about sexual orientation and gender identity. The party did not elect any members in October. Continued on page 28

Year in review: A look at 2018

Continued from page 26 OCTOBER Former MP Svend Robinson told the NOW he was “seriously” considering a return to federal politics.The New Democrat was in office for more than 25 years before stepping away after admitting to stealing a diamond ring. He has spent much of the time since working for and international AIDS organization. Mike Hurley was elected mayor of Burnaby after a hard-fought election. He toppled longtime incumbent Derek Corrigan after a campaign focused largely on housing. (For more on Hurley’s victory, see Page 1.) Seven incumbent Burnaby

Citizens Association councillors were also elected, alongside the Green Party’s Joe Keithley in his first political win.The Greens also made inroads on the school board, electing Christine Cunningham as a trustee.

The City of Burnaby continued in its dogged fight against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project when it requested the Vancouver Port Authority cancel a permit allowing to company to have a razorwire boom floating in Burrard Inlet.The request was not approved. Burnaby North-Seymour MP Terry Beech floated a big idea: rezone

the Trans Mountain tank farm on Burnaby Mountain for high-density residential.That would create billions in value, new revenue for the city and move a dangerous operation away from a residential area. But the Liberal’s idea was dismissed by several experts.

The province announced it would pay $79 million to replace Burnaby North Secondary.The school had been flagged as having the highest risk of structural failure during an earthquake. Construction is planned to begin this coming spring, with plans to open for the 2021/22 school year. Continued on page 29

City now Year in review: We’re looking back at the headlines of 2018 Continued from page 28 NOVEMBER Burnaby Hospital was accused of “Third World” treatment by the family of a man who was transported by taxi to Royal Columbian Hospital while experiencing intense abdominal pain. Barry Douglas was among three patients transported with a nurse when the hospital’s CT scanner wasn’t working. A former B.C. Lions football player was charged with second-degree murder nine years after the death of his 33-year-old girlfriend. Josh Boden is accused of killing Kimberly Lynn Hallgarth in March of 2009. Boden was considered a person of interest early on the investigation but wasn’t charged until this year. An Anglican priest and her parishioner were the first pipeline protesters convicted of civil contempt of court charges after their criminal contempt of court charges were dropped. Laurel Dykstra and Linda Hutchings chained themselves to a tree on the property of Trans Mountain’s tank farm in May.The company sought the civil charges in a move Dyktra said “felt pretty personal.” The provincial government announced it would build 4,900 units of mixedincome rental units, 366 of which will be in Burnaby. The homes will be targeted at several segments of the population: seniors, people on fixed incomes, low- to moderate-income workers – including nurses, teachers and first-responders. Police suspected foul play in a car crash that killed when an SUV hit two light posts and crashed into a ditch off Barnet Highway. Nicole Hasselmann, 34, was

thrown from the vehicle and later died. A man was found unconscious in the vehicle.The RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called in to investigate the case. The City of Burnaby announced long awaited plans to open warming centres for homeless people in the city. Following through on a campaign promise, Mayor Mike Hurley kickstarted the plan.The city soon opened four warming centres in city facilities, where people can come and warm up, sleep and eat. DECEMBER Jan Poepl, 33, was charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Nicole Hasselmann. She was found badly injured near the scene of

a crashed vehicle off Barnet Highway in November and later died in hospital. Investigators had initially thought her injuries were caused by the car crash but later determined foul play was involved. Mary Hatch, 88, hit the dance floor in style. As a teen, she danced professionally with a number of troupes. Her Burnaby seniors home arranged for a special session at a Coquitlam dance studio. She rose from her wheelchair to shuffle along with a young dance instructor. Mayor Mike Hurley laid the groundwork for the creation of a housing task force he says will tackle Burnaby’s unaffordability and displacement problems.The task force will begin meet-
