NEWS BRIEFS TIME TO TRY A DANCE

STRIDES FOR CHANGE

MATTRESS RECYCLING

Contrary to the story in the Aug. 10 edition of the NewsLeader (“Chevron refinery to close for maintenance”), the refinery will not actually close as part of this procedure in October. This is a typical maintenance turnaround, the company said, affecting several operating units at the refinery. Unaffected sections will continue to operate normally. These shutdowns are a key part of maintaining safe and reliable operations, Chevron said.

A Latin Dance Extravaganza social dance session will be held at the Shadbolt Centre on Sunday (Aug. 21). No experience is necessary, and families are welcome to experience Latin dances including salsa, cha-cha, jive and merengue. A social dance with follow the instruction, and demonstrations will be included. It starts at 6 p.m.

The MADD Metro Vancouver chapter will hold a ﬁve-kilometre walk, Strides for Change, in Central Park on Sept. 11 to raise public awareness about the dangers of impaired driving and to support victims in their communities. There will be a candlelight vigil at 10:30 a.m. with the walk beginning at 11 a.m. To register go to www.madd.ca/vancouver or show up on walk day between 9 and 10 a.m.

Mattress recycling has skyrocketed in Metro Vancouver since they were prohibited from the garbage at the start of 2011 reports the regional district. Metro Vancouver says the three recyclers in the region show more than 47,000 mattresses have been recycled so far this year, which if stacked on top of each other would be 1 1/2 times taller than Mount Everest. To ﬁnd a recycler visit MetroVancouverRecycles.org.

More than 30 years ago, Jeanne Fike had a two-yearold son and was pregnant. She was out in the backyard when another neighbour, who was also pregnant, said to her, “Hey, let’s take this parenting class.” “Sure,” replied Fike. It seemed incidental at the time, but that one-word reply was monumental for Fike. The program was called Systematic Training for Effective Parenting. “It just changed my life,” says Fike. “It’s been applicable to all aspects of my life. I’ve built my relations with my husband, my friends and colleagues using the [program’s] philosophy.” It was Fike’s ﬁrst contact with Burnaby Family Life. She not only took more courses, she volunteered.

The reappearance of milfoil weed in Burnaby Lake despite completion of a $20.5-million dredging project this past spring could scuttle plans for future boating competitions. Jim Nosella, commodore of the Burnaby Canoe and Kayak Club, was caught by surprise when the club held divisional championships on July 30 and racers returned off the water complaining it was too weedy, especially on the outside lane. So for the provincial championship this past weekend he took his own gardening implements to the nasty stuff to get rid of it. “The dredging wasn’t as effective as we’d hoped,” said Nosella. Competition on the lake was abandoned in the 1980s after the course became clogged with water lilies, sediment and milfoil. Two years ago, the city went ahead with its long-planned dredging to a depth of two metres. “I’m not sure dredging two metres was OK,” said Nosella. “I’m not experienced enough to say. “I heard two metres was supposed to be

enough, but apparently two metres isn’t. I don’t know if three metres is enough or even ﬁve metres.” The weeds are mainly on the north side, 400 to 750 metres from the western shore, and then across the width of the lake at the eastern end, said Nosella. “It’s like you’re dragging an anchor around with you.” Since canoe and kayak races are a maximum of 1,000 metres, while rowing races are up to 2,000, the canoe club doesn’t use the eastern end and isn’t worried about those weeds. The club would like to host the 2014 national championships, but the bid is due this winter. “I would not feel comfortable putting our club up for competitions outside of our area other than

Milfoil weed is a problem at many lakes throughout British Columbia, said Chu, and migrates on the bottom of boats as they go from lake to lake.

The dredging did get rid of two big problems, water lilies and sediment, neither of which are expected to be an issue for several generations, said Chu. “Milfoil re-grows as a weed,” said Chu. “It was taken out initially but grew back very quickly ... If milfoil is an issue we have to look at what kind of management plan to put in place. “If it’s not good enough for racing purposes then we have to look at what needs to be done ... I don’t think it’s a signiﬁcant challenge.” Coun. Dan Johnston, chair of the city’s environment committee, said he’d like to see something done since one of council’s objectives in doing the dredging was to make the lake acceptable for holding national and international competitions. But with milfoil all over the province it is not easy to totally eradicate, he added. “I don’t think there’s a quick ﬁx,” said Johnston. ggranger@burnabynewsleader.com

SkyTrain celebrates silver anniversary One of the best investments made by government in British Columbia: McCarthy By Grant Granger NEWSLEADER

Ian Graham began working on SkyTrain before a shovel had been put in the ground and well before it was called SkyTrain. He’d been working on transit planning in 1973 before being assigned in April 1982 to the project that would transform Metro Vancouver’s skyline and transportation habits. Now he’s its senior operations planner and affectionately known as “Mr. SkyTrain.” “I probably had some apprehension because it was quite new, but I made the plunge,” said Graham at the SkyTrain operations and maintenance yard in Burnaby following a celebration of the service’s 25th anniversary Wednesday. “I was conﬁdent in the viability of the technology and the senior people involved. I trusted it could deliver the capability.” These days, said Graham, SkyTrain carries up to 13,000 passengers per hour into downtown Vancouver from the Broadway station. To deliver that many by vehicle would require ﬁve freeway lanes heading west. “It’s already the equivalent of a 10-lane freeway going down the Grandview Cut,” said Graham of SkyTrain. “Over time it has continued to grow and has become part of the fabric of the region. It is now taken for granted.” Not a week doesn’t go by when trans-

portation officials from all parts of the globe aren’t touring SkyTrain. Graham said it has influenced decisions on how other systems all over the world do things, in places like London, Copenhagen, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur. For the ceremony, TransLink officials rolled in Grace McCarthy, former deputy premier and minister responsible for SkyTrain in the 1980s, on a special train painted to celebrate the silver anniversary. Originally SkyTrain was called Automated Light Rapid Transit (ALRT) before the name was altered to Alternate Light Rapid Transit because of the possible

fear customers might have for driverless trains, said ex-Premier Bill Bennett in a statement read by Bud Smith, one of Bennett’s former ministers. McCarthy thought SkyTrain was a good name, but the next day a public relations person said that might be a problem because an airline had just branded their service as Skytrain and might sue. “Wouldn’t that be wonderful,” McCarthy recalled saying at the time, likely with her trademark smile. “We would be known worldwide.” The service has gone on to serve more than 1.2 billion customers. “It’s one of the most wonderful invest-

ments the province or Canada has ever made in British Columbia,” said McCarthy. “It’s just an incredible success.” SkyTrain was inspired by British Columbia’s desire to hold a world expo to celebrate Vancouver’s 100th birthday in 1986. The body that authorized the expo determined it was to have a transportation theme, and the Bennett-led Socred Party government felt such a fair needed a symbol. “SkyTrain was the next era of transportation, and it hasn’t failed as a vision,” said McCarthy. “We showed the world through Expo and SkyTrain we are the best place to be to feel positive. Twentyﬁve years ago was a pivotal moment in time for British Columbia and for Canada.” “For me it was a fun project. I never doubted we couldn’t pull it off, and I don’t doubt for a minute that British Columbia won’t be able to pull it off in spades in the future.” McCarthy said the 1980s were recessionary times and there was an unwillingness to spend money, but Bennett believed it was the best time to do it because it would provide jobs and opportunity. More than $4 billion has been spent on SkyTrain and another $2 billion is pegged for the future, including the Evergreen Line extending service from Burnaby to Coquitlam. (The ﬁgures don’t include Canada Line, completed in 2009, because it is operated by a private company, ProTrans BC) “SkyTrain is the backbone of our transportation network,” said TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis. “There’s more progress to be made.”

Remove temptation A pack of cigarettes. Loose change. Even just a candy bar. They are items not worth that much, but leaving them in plain sight in your vehicle could lead to an ICBC claim and having to get repairs made after a break-in. In other words a lot of aggravation, wasted time and some expense. There apparently is no target too small for local thieves. While some of the thefts from vehicles are of higher-priced items like iPods, cameras and satellite radios, many appear to be a case of someone breaking into the vehicle, then just taking whatever happens to be lying around. Since it’s summer, it might be the easy way to blame youth out of school and bored with many of these crimes. The thing is, according to police, there are peaks and valleys for these break-ins throughout the year, including times when school is in. So how do we stop these crimes? Some of the onus is on the vehicle owners. Do the little things. Make sure your vehicle is locked anytime you leave it. Park in a well-lit area. Most importantly, make sure nothing of value is visible inside. (That’s another reason for parking in a welllit area.) In terms of how we as a society can cut down on these crimes, there are two schools of thought. One would see the thieves, when caught, face the full force of the justice system. If you catch them early enough in the cycle, you can break them of the bad habits. The other idea is to provide more opportunities for youth in the community. The problem is, to some youth, breaking into vehicles is their leisure activity. Don’t make it easy for them. – Black Press

If rapid transit had been started back then, it would have connected all areas of the Lower Mainland by now. That’s all hindsight which, of course, is always 20/20. Hopefully the vision in foresight is too. In the meantime, Happy Anniversary SkyTrain. ■ Grant Granger is a NewsLeader reporter. ggranger@burnabynewsleader.com

Friday, August 19, 2011 NewsLeader A7

I believe the two most important issues in the Nov. 19 municipal election are the lack of any opposition to the current regime and their inability to control spending and taxes. Since 2008 the Burnaby Civic Association (the municipal arm of the NDP) has held all elected positions in Burnaby (the mayor, eight councillors and seven school board trustees). This is an unhealthy situation. With no opposition, if anything bad was going on at city hall the public would never find out. I think a lot of questionable things have happened since 2008. However the public has no way to know. I would like a final accounting of the cost of the computer conversion which is rumoured to have gone more than $30 million over budget. What happened respecting the July 2007 oil spill on Hastings Street that caused substantial environmental damage as well as damaging 110 homes? Was the lawsuit settled? Was the city held to blame in whole or in part? How much did it cost the city? Also there is the Multisport Centre of Excellence project on Kensington near Burnaby Lake. It is a half-built eyesore. I read six months ago that the developer was now ready to proceed but nothing happens. What is really going on, and how much has it cost the city? We need answers to all of these questions and this is just for starters. Obviously the answer is to elect a balanced council so that whoever is in power will be subject to proper review and oversight. During my three years on council I voted each year against the BCA budget, saying that the proposed property tax increase was unacceptable. Property taxes have been raised by approximately four per cent a year for at least the last five years while inflation has been running at two per cent. This is unacceptable. The city can’t operate this way. Given that the city is taking a larger and larger part of people’s income I think it would be appropriate for property taxes to be frozen for at least a two-year period

while the taxpayers catch up. The budgeting process appears to be for the director of ﬁnance to canvass the various departments to determine what increase they think they need and then to calculate what tax increase would be required to cover those increases. This process is backward. Council should tell the director what increase will be made—I am proposing 0 per cent— and then he and the department heads should decide where the available money should be spent. The voters of Burnaby need to understand that if the incumbents are re-elected nothing will change. On Nov. 19 they will have a chance to make their votes count. I am running for council as are a number of other experienced, responsible people. If we are elected the people of Burnaby can be conﬁdent that there will be someone to oversee and review the operation of the government and rein in the irresponsible spending that has gone on for so long. Garth Evans Burnaby

Letter writer’s comments difficult to defend Re: Rights trampled in the name of political correctness (Letters, NewsLeader, Aug. 17) Mr. Gordon World has claimed that as a member of Parents’ Voice, he will run for election this November for school board. It is amazing to see how quickly he has learned to speak like a politician, to use many words but to impart no knowledge or ideas whatsoever. Politics is supposed to be based on a reasoned discourse based on facts. Mr. World speaks of Parents’ Voice as a “broad-based and spontaneous, grassroots” response to what he considers a discriminatory policy. I question how it can be a broad-based group of people who Mr. World claims never knew each other, when many of them have admitted they attend the same church together. Now, perhaps this

is a truly large church, say the size of a small shopping centre. Maybe in such a situation, they might not have met or seen any of their fellow Voice members. However, I tend to think that their church is somewhat more modest in size. Let’s also take a look at the comment made, which seeks to convince readers that a policy that explicitly states its purpose is to prevent discrimination is somehow discriminatory. The policy is called the sexual orientation and gender identity policy, or Policy 5.45. The policy clearly states that it is meant for students and employees, including those who identify as, or are perceived to be, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirit, queer or those who are questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity (LGBTQ+). That’s a direct quote from the policy. Nowhere does it state that heterosexual cisgendered (Def’n: opposite of transgendered, someone who has a gender identity that agrees with their societally recognized sex—Editor.) individuals were exempt from the policy. In fact, that’s an interesting point to make, in that it prevents discrimination against heterosexuals based on their sexual orientation as well. A heterosexual being discriminated against because of his or her sexual orientation is obviously less likely to happen, but this policy covers it as well. In Mr. World’s letter the claim is made that Parents’ Voice opposes the policy based on “sound medical fact and legal precedent.” It will come as a shock then to know that the provincial government has already lost a court challenge on this issue, as has the District of North Vancouver. In both cases, the courts ruled that protections must be put into place, and that school districts should be proactive in their creation and application of those protections. If there is a legal precedent to be followed in this ideological battle, it would seem to be one in favour of Policy 5.45. Going back to the claim of sound

Pre-Planned Funeral Arrangements

medical fact supporting opposition to the policy, I really must wonder what kind of medical evidence it is that Mr. World has that supports a repeal of anti-discrimination policies. Jurisdictions all over the world, with ideological beliefs far less friendly to the queer community, have enacted legislation barring discrimination and there’s been no evidence whatsoever that any medical problems were associated with the legislation. While there is much to be said about the passionate supporters on both sides of this issue, I would hope that both sides would agree that a focus on the facts is what is needed, especially from those who hope to represent us in government. Mr. World’s statements are not only difﬁcult to defend, they are quite simply irresponsible. Trevor Ritchie Burnaby

Burnaby City Hall needs oversight of BCA rulers

A refreshing viewpoint Re: What’s wrong with criticizing a party you support? (Letters, NewsLeader, Aug. 12) I agree with Garth Evans’ response to Murray Martin, who had criticized Evans for being a contributor of the BC Liberal Party while at the same time questioning the party for the $550 million spent for a new roof at BC Place. Mr. Evans has gained my respect for proclaiming that just because a person supports a political party doesn’t mean they must agree with everything the party does. I have always been an NDP supporter, but even though I believe in the party as a whole, I deﬁnitely do not agree with all it stands for. A politician that openly challenges his own party for something he/she truly believes to be not in the best interests of the public is a politician worth keeping. That said, I am pleased to see that Mr. Evans and Mr. Martin both agree that spending $550 million for a new roof is ignominious. Frank Di Cesare Burnaby

Condos push housing starts up Metro Vancouver housing starts climbed 25 per cent in the ﬁrst seven months of 2011, led by new condo developments in Surrey, Vancouver and Richmond. More than 10,000 new homes have been started this year, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. Eighty per cent of the starts are multi-family units, rather than detached houses. Surrey’s starts totalled 2,059 in the seven months to July, followed by 2,011 in Vancouver, 1,618 in Richmond, 983 in Coquitlam and 977 in Burnaby. The fastest year-over-year gains were in Richmond, where starts so far in 2011 have more than doubled, while Coquitlam starts are up 74 per cent. Surrey’s starts are actually down about eight per cent from 2010.

••••• Burnaby resident Carol Matusicky, a BFL board director, was the executive director of the B.C. Council for Families for more than 25 years. As a result, she is intimately familiar with most of the organizations in the province that served families. “Some organizations work until it’s broken. Burnaby Family Life is very supportive and helps from the beginning,” says Matusicky. “They are supporting families to be the best they could be from the get-go.” Matusicky says most social service organizations try to ﬁx problems when they arise. But Burnaby Family Life’s programs help to prevent the problems, such as children running afoul of the law, before they happen. “It’s almost from the womb to the tomb. They’re there for children, for adults, for men, women and immigrants. They do an awful lot of things,” says Matusicky. “Without sounding corny, because I have been at this for a long time, these are the things that strengthen communities and make them better places to live.” In many ways, she adds, BFL’s work ﬂies under the radar in Burnaby. “I tell people it’s like housework, when it’s done nobody notices; when it’s not done all hell breaks loose.”

••••• Fike, 62, grew up in Burnaby and attended Douglas Road elementary school. She recalls from those days seeing a sign on Boundary Road saying, Welcome to Burnaby, population 70,000. Since then, the city and Burnaby Family Life have grown rapidly together. Back when BFL began, Burnaby was a white, middle-class bedroom community, says Fike. Since then the demographics have changed, and consequently BFL has staff that can speak 46 languages, with many of its programs involving immigrant and refugee settlement. In 40 years, not only has BFL’s budget gone from $200 to $3.5 million, it has gone from no employees to 87 salaried workers and 20 volunteers along with university practicum students. It has satellite offices all over the city, and its administration office is next to the Holdom SkyTrain station after decades being based at the old Burnaby Heights Resource Centre. “So many people say non-profits should be run more like a business. Well, the business community can learn from us about efficiency because we constantly have to rejig,” says Fike. “The community doesn’t realize the value of the work we do. It’s really value-changing and life-changing work that we do.” Their work, she says, reduces costs down the line by helping to prevent young people from taking the wrong turn and clogging up the criminal justice and health systems. “We’re really giving taxpayers lots of dollars, we do so much with so little,” she says.

Maria-Elena has gone on to teach all over the Lower Mainland, has written three books on teaching Spanish and ESL, and is the proud mother of two “talented” teenagers.

Val Skelly is about to play hockey for 242 hours straight, so why is she sweating about 15 seconds? Because that quarter of a minute could mean the difference between just being really tired and sore when the ďŹ nal whistle blows and setting a new world record for the longest continuous hockey game. Skelly is the organizer of the Longest Game for CF, a marathon match being played by 40 women at Burnaby 8 Rinks to raise awareness and money for Cystic Fibrosis.

Her father Bill had forged a relationship between Kinsmen clubs in Canada and CF that has raised tens of millions of dollars since 1963.

TIP OF THE MONTH Drivers: Be Alert to Children in School Zones

COMMUNITY CHAMPION About eight years ago Shannon Kaustinen began noticing a signiďŹ cant number of families were moving into her Government Road neighbourhood and she realized the children would need protection. So she became involved in Block Watch and is now the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have more in common than just Block Watch,â&#x20AC;? Kaustinen says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is more than just safety. It was a way of bridging the needs of the school (Seaforth Elementary) and the community, and bringing them together for the common good.â&#x20AC;? In addition to regular garage sales, Block Watch has an annual block party that Kaustinen believes is the biggest in Burnaby. The RCMP show up and â&#x20AC;&#x153;we always get enormous support and kudos for our efforts,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows neighbours to be aware of their surroundings. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to only know my neighbours when there is a crime. When the incident happens, I want to already know them.â&#x20AC;?

A: Neighborhood Liaison OfďŹ cers (NLOs) develop partnerships within the community to create safe and secure environments. This is accomplished by forming strong relationships with various local groups, community members, and outside agencies to identify issues, and coordinate an effective response to reduce crime. For example, in locations where repeat crime or safety incidents occur, NLOs work with neighbourhood businesses, community groups, and residents to become more aware of what is occurring and to develop a shared response to improve the safety of the area. Q: When do the Neighborhood Liaison OfďŹ cers work? A: Neighborhood Liaison OfďŹ cers typically work a 10 hour day between Monday and Friday. However, Neighborhood Liaison OfďŹ cers maintain a ďŹ&#x201A;exible work schedule and will often readjust their schedule to meet the needs of the community. Q: If I need assistance regarding a community concern or a problem property who can I call? A: All calls for service should be made to 911 or the Burnaby RCMP non emergency number (604.294.7922) for immediate response. However, Neighborhood Liaison OfďŹ cers recommend that, following this initial call to police, people call or visit their local Community Police OfďŹ ce to discuss their concern with a Neighborhood Liaison OfďŹ cer. Q: How can Neighborhood Liaison OfďŹ cers help me? A: Neighborhood Liaison OfďŹ cers can help by working with you on a long term basis to improve the safety and security of your community through shared problem-solving and response.

SALUTE TO LOCAL BUSINESS Laura Saimoto says the diligence of her uncle and more eyes on the street have helped keep the walls of her company mostly tag free this summer, despite their proximity to the Expo SkyTrain line. Laura Saimoto is fortunate her uncle has a knack for ďŹ nding paint bargains. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the company she owns and manages, Great West Paper Box, is a favourite target of taggers; two expansive walls face the Expo SkyTrain guideway and grafďŹ ti vandals like an audience. But as quickly as the taggers paint their signature scrawls, Saimotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle paints the walls white again. His efforts are paying off; the walls used to need repainting every week but this summer heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed his brushes and rollers only twice. That vigilance to eradicate the taggersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deeds is one of the key points in Burnabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-grafďŹ ti strategy; frustrated that their clandestine work is continually being painted over, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to move elsewhere. Saimoto says the changing character of the Kingsway-Imperial neighbourhood has also helped, as more residential development has put more people on the sidewalks and more eyes on the street. In fact, a three-year-old in a townhouse next door to her building keeps an eye on the southern walls. For more information on grafďŹ ti prevention, or to report grafďŹ ti, please contact the City of Burnabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grafďŹ ti hotline at 604-298-TAGS (8247) or visit www.burnaby.ca/reportgrafďŹ ti.

B.C.’s gang strategy working, Bond says By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS

VICTORIA – B.C.’s two-yearold “gangs and guns” strategy is working, and the province will continue to do its share to maintain it, Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond says. Bond issued a statement Tuesday after community leaders questioned whether federal funds for Kelowna’s 16-member anti-gang squad would continue beyond this fall. A similar unit was also set up in Prince George after a string of gangrelated shootings in B.C., with a three-year commitment shared by the federal and provincial governments. “Over 200 organized crime and gang members and associates have been arrested and charged with more than 400 serious offences since we brought in the gangs and guns strategy in February 2009,” Bond said. “Since 2008-2009 our government invested B.C.’s full $53.3 million share of the Police Ofﬁcer Recruitment Fund for additional policing positions dedicated to combating gun, gang and organized crime.

can assure you, the province is committed to the continuing funding of these dedicated resources.” Kelowna was rocked Sunday by a brazen daytime shooting in the driveway of a lakefront hotel. Abbotsford gang leader Jonathan Bacon was killed and a member of the Hells Angels was seriously injured when their Porsche SUV was raked with automatic weapon fire from another vehicle. Two women in the Porsche were also hit by gunfire, and a fifth occupant, believed to be another drug gang associate, escaped on foot. Armed gang violence was being reported beyond Metro

Vancouver by 2009. At that time, former premier Gordon Campbell announced the Kelowna and Prince George gang and weapon squads, along with $185 million to add 304 more cells to the overcrowded B.C. prison system. That announcement included 180 spaces at a new Lower Mainland Pre-Trial Centre, which was opposed by Burnaby politicians and moved to an expansion of the existing Surrey Pretrial Centre. It also included 20 more spaces at Prince George Correctional Centre and 104 additional spaces at Alouette Correctional Centre for Women in Maple Ridge. Later in 2009, B.C. moved to restrict the sale of body armour to law enforcement members and licensed security guards and private investigators. Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon said in October 2009 that body armour was being used in armed robberies there. Body armour and automatic weapons were becoming popular status symbols for gang members as a way of intimidating rivals, police said. tﬂetcher@blackpress.ca

Metro urges water metering By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS

Metro Vancouver will press area cities to consider universal water metering as part of a broader strategy to conserve water and forestall the need to expand local reservoirs. Metering single family houses – so residents pay for what they use and water wastrels are hit hardest – is one of the planks in Metro’s newly approved Drinking Water Management Plan. Not all Metro cities back the idea. “It’s simply a scam to make the consumer pay more money,” says Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan. He said the provincial government has repeatedly pressed Metro cities to adopt water metering so private firms can “satisfy a phoney need” and profit from the policy. “The numbers don’t work,” Corrigan said, adding there’s no solid evidence that water savings justify the steep costs of metering. He puts water meters to reduce waste in the same category as smart meters to block power theft by grow-ops and TransLink’s installation of turnstiles to block fare cheaters. “It preys on people’s fear of being ripped off,” Corrigan said. “If you think someone’s ripping you off, no cost is too much to stop that.” Most cities in the region require water meters for multifamily and commercial buildings. But several are moving to require meters in new single detached houses or that they be added when there’s a major renovation. Some charge high flat rate fees that create an incentive for households to voluntarily go metered and cut consumption. Langley City and West Vancouver meter all homes while Surrey and Richmond now have most of their detached houses on water meters. Metering does deter waste, according to

Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, who sits on Metro’s water committee. “People conserve more,” he said. “When municipalities switch to metering, consumption is reduced by about 20 per cent or more.” Area residents might think water is abundant in Metro Vancouver, particularly during the rains of winter. But with the population growing by 35,000 a year, the region is steadily closing in on the limits of what it can deliver at peak demand periods in the summer. The plan warns climate change may bring longer, drier summers and smaller mountain snowpacks, increasing stress on the water system. Metro has already banned evening lawn sprinkling in favour of early mornings only, when demand is lower. The region also charges member cities a higher wholesale water rate of 64 cents per cubic metre in the summer than the off-peak rate of 56 cents the rest of the year. (It’s up to each city how those costs are passed on to residents.) Other conservation steps – from low-ﬂow appliances to the use of rain barrels for garden water – are also advocated. But a day of reckoning is coming when more water will be needed than Metro can now supply. The Coquitlam Lake reservoir would be the easiest way to open the regional tap wider. Right now, Metro gets 10 per cent of the lake’s discharge, while the rest is reserved for B.C. Hydro to generate power at Buntzen Lake. “It’s a very large reservoir with a very deep catchment area and could easily extend service for Metro Vancouver for many decades to come, just by increasing the share that goes to Metro from 10 to 20 per cent,” Drew said. But that would require Hydro’s consent and Metro would presumably have to pay to compensate the utility for the energy it could no longer produce. Depending on the price tag, it might be cheaper to pursue

alternatives, such as building small new dams to increase storage in small alpine lakes high in the region’s watersheds. Raising the Seymour dam to create a bigger upstream reservoir above North Vancouver is another option, Drew said, as is eventually ending recreational use in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve and turning it into a reservoir. The problem isn’t just the storage capacity of reservoirs, Drew added, but also the eventual need to PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: *2011 Tundra up to $6000 cash back; is on Crewmax models only.

The cost of the water system has already been rising steadily and there’s no end in sight. Metro now spends $223 million each year to collect and supply water for the region. And Metro water rates are projected to rise another 30 to 40 per cent over the next ﬁve years.
