FALL fairs Many people work hard all summer in their gardens growing flowers and vegetables, or in the kitchen canning or baking, or in the garage making wine. They get to show off the fruits of their labours, so to speak, at this time of year in fall fairs
Bob Rutherford takes such good care of his garden, he even protects some of his prized flowers from rain and direct sunlight with umbrellas. Bob and his wife Virginia have been entering their flowers and vegetables into competition at the South Burnaby Garden Club’s fall fair for 30 years. MARIO BARTEL NEWSLEADER

NEWS BRIEFS TRANSIT PUBLIC MEETING
BACKPACKS GIVEN OUT
PERMIT VALUE UP
Two routes serving Simon Fraser University on Burnaby Mountain will see additional service during peak periods. As of Monday, Sept. 5, the No.144 SFU/Metrotown Station improved its service to every 10 minutes (from every 12) heading north between 7 and 9 a.m. and heading south between 3 and 6 p.m. The No. 143 SFU/Coquitlam Station will run every 15 minutes until 7:30 a.m. and every 10 minutes until 8 a.m.
TransLink is hosting public meetings to discuss a proposal to increase the funding available to allow for the addition of more transit service hours. The public meetings, with TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis, will be in Burnaby Thursday, Sept. 8, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Metrotown. More info: www.translink.ca.
About 500 Burnaby students will receive backpacks filled with basic school supplies they likely would not have been able to afford otherwise. The kits are part of almost 9,500 kits being donated by Telus Community Ambassadors, a volunteer effort by the company’s employees.
The value of building permits issued in Burnaby continues to recover from the global economic downturn of a couple years ago. Through the end of July, city hall had issued building permits with a construction value of almost $315.7 million. That’s up from $293.3 million for the same period last year and $205.4 million in 2009. The record year remains 2008, when the same period saw $435 million in permits issued.

SFU ROUTES BOOSTED
A touch of small town past By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
T
he sun is shining and Bob Rutherford is in his element—the backyard garden of his South Burnaby home. He’s got umbrellas on stakes protecting his blooming prized dahlias from direct sun and rain. His greenhouse is filled with bright red tomato plants and a lone cantaloupe. Leeks and onions abound and grapevines line the rear fence while honeybees peruse the flowers. Every year the yard has been brought to life this way, and each September for 30 years Bob and his wife Virginia have turned it into something of a command centre for their competitions at the South Burnaby Garden Club’s annual fall fair. “You should see the backyard, it’s covered in vegetables,” said Virginia, 90, with a laugh. “You try to get three carrots to look alike [for their carrot entry] and you dig up two dozen.” They’ve spent countless hours in the garden, always working to improve it and get better results. Bob, 84, is always trying something new. This year, for the first time, he’s grown a peanut plant. “We do it because we enjoy it,” he said, “being out amongst it, puttering around.” Virginia teased, “Putter-
ing! He knows what every tomato is doing, I swear.” It’s the challenge both have enjoyed, and the constant learning. Virginia recalled one of the first vegetable displays she entered didn’t win, but a fellow competitor took the time to give her some pointers. He told her a cob of corn would score higher than a zucchini, since “zucchini, you can’t stop it from growing but a good cob of corn is harder to do.” All the work put in by participants is impressive, she said. “It’s actually a wonderful sight to walk in there [to the fall fair] and think everything there was grown on a city lot.”
Younger members participating The precursor of the South Burnaby Garden Club has been holding annual fall fairs since 1901 when the group was located in a hall in Central Park. In those early days, displays for fruit, vegetables, poultry and needlework were entered and all the judging was done by the Department of Agriculture out of Vernon. The fair grew to include competitions of baking, canning, flower arranging and children’s categories. Today it’s somewhat smaller, and runs Sept. 10 and 11 at Bonsor Rec Centre,
Brown said with a laugh.) won’t be happening. But it will still include pony rides, sack races, artisans, a farmers’ market, a bee and honey display, live entertainment and of course, food. The Queensborough fall fair is an example of the neighbourhood’s “homegrown values,” Brown said. “You need to have a vision of people getting together with neighbours, sharing stories with neighbours, keeping the community alive with the heritage and history around them.” MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER

but Virginia is encouraged by the participation of younger club members and a renewed interest in gardening. In comparison, the Queensborough Urban Farmers’ Fall Fair is something of a newbie event at “only” 18 years old, but it continues to carry out its original role as a means of bringing the community together. Carla Brown, chair of the Queensborough fair which takes place Sept. 18, said it started out as a fundraiser for the New Westminster neighbourhood’s community garden. Today, the community garden is “so ginormous with a huge waiting list so it funds itself,” so other projects benefit from the funds raised. This year, it will go toward

New Westminster resident Ellen Berg, 67, has been entering everything from Spartan apples to quince and blackberry jellies into the Queensborough fair for years. “I’m making it anyway, I do jellies every year ... So it’s fun.” Growing up on a farm in Coombs, B.C., Berg recalled the competitions were a big part of such fairs back then. She remembers checking out the entries with interest simply because a neighbour lady was a “queen of the fair” for many years. Any rivalries she sees at the Queensborough fair are “all in good fun,” said Berg, a member of the New Westminster Horticultural Society. PLEASE SEE FAIR ON A4
One person is dead and another sent to hospital following an incident Thursday morning at a Central Park area apartment complex. Burnaby RCMP said they received a call of a domestic dispute just before 6:30 a.m. in the 4100 block of Maywood Street, between Willingdon and Patterson avenues. When first responders arrived they found one female dead and another injured. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called in to conduct the investigation. The injured female was arrested but was sent to hospital for medical assessment. Police are not releasing the identities pending notification of next of kin.

Fair rivalries all in fun

“I think we admire each other’s work ... There is one pie-maker I don’t think I’ll ever beat because she’s a fantastic pie-maker.” Brown said the competitions themselves are all about showing people the results of hard work and are all in fun. She noted that their pie competition culminates in a fundraising auction of the entries one slice at a time. They’ve gone for upwards of $30 a slice. “It depends on if you want that piece bad enough,” she said with a laugh. Berg once bought a slice of her competitor’s prize-winning pie for $7. “It was very good,” she confirmed. Virginia Rutherford agreed that any rivalries are friendly and all part of the fun. She noted that her husband Bob and fellow club member Ray Luporini are always competing for the best onion. “I hugged Ray one year and said, ‘my something or other beat yours, it must be good!’” she said with a laugh. This year’s fall fair will be Bob’s last as a competitor. Virginia has already decided to pack it in and is cheering from the sidelines. They’ve sold their house and at the end of the month they’re moving into a retirement residence. “It’s been a great life for 55 years,” Virginia said of their home and garden. “It’s going to be a drastic change.” They’re hoping to continue gardening in whatever space or containers they manage to get at their new home, and to keep attending meetings of the South Burnaby Garden Club for the social aspect. In the meantime, Bob has a competition to prepare for. On a recent sunny morning, they were mulling over whether the peanut plant counted as a vegetable and in what category they might be able to enter it. “I think it goes under ‘other,’” Virginia said. • South Burnaby Garden Club’s 110th annual fall fair will be held Saturday, Sept. 10, 1 to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 11, 11 a.m.. to 4 p.m. at Bonsor Recreation Complex, 6550

As for the roughly $200,000 a year that Burnaby pays in carbon offsets, she said that’s money that could pay for a couple of teachers or possibly hundreds of field trips. “It was one more downloading and increasing of fees that the school board has had to contend with, so essentially it’s a cut in their budget again.” She cited the increase in Medical Services Plan premiums for staff, and the full cost of implementing full-day kindergarten as other examples. “And that’s why you end up with Burnaby school board, year after year, having to make cuts to services.” Corrigan said the school district has pushed ahead with making its operations more energy efficient both because it’s the right thing to do and as a way to reduce energy costs. “At the very least if there is a requirement for districts [and other public sector bodies] to be carbon neutral—this of course does not mean that they’re not emitting carbon anymore, it just means they’re paying for it—that the money come back into projects that benefit the school district and the public sector.”
Request for Proposals Allocation of Community Space The City is inviting proposals from Burnaby-based non-profit community organizations for the lease of all or part of a future City-owned space. The successful proponent would be expected to provide services and programs which respond to priority social, cultural or activity needs of Burnaby residents and which complement existing programs/services, particularly in north Burnaby. Through the City’s Community Benefit Bonus Policy, the City will gain title to a community amenity space, with a gross floor area of 6,000 square feet, that is being developed as part of an approved high-rise residential development at 2085 Rosser Avenue (at Lougheed Highway). The amenity space will be located in a stand-alone, two-storey building on the southwest corner of Rosser Avenue and Lougheed Highway. The net leasable floor area will depend on the design of the space and the area required for circulation such as stairs, elevator and entry lobby (at a minimum, about 15% (900 square feet) of the gross floor area will be required for circulation). An information session for interested non-profit organizations will be held at Burnaby City Hall on Thursday, September 15, 2011 from 2 – 3:30 p.m. in the Council Committee Room. The Request for Proposals package can be found on the B.C. Bid Website at www.bcbid.gov.bc.ca or through the following link: www.burnaby.ca (click on Bid Opportunities, Results & FAQs). Please direct any questions about the RFP to purchasing@burnaby.ca or 604-294-7370. Deadline for submission of proposals is 3 p.m., Monday, October 3, 2011.

—EDITORIAL—
Invest in education It’s back to school week. Sort of. Because this first week of school will be unlike any other. Oh sure, kids and parents are being jolted out of their lazy routines of summer to a new regime of early alarms, hasty breakfasts and packing lunches. Traffic in and around school zones is hectic, as parents drop off and retrieve their charges. School playgrounds, silent and mostly deserted for the past two months, are suddenly alive again with excited chatter and screeches as kids burn off the energy that builds up during long sessions cooped up in classrooms. But beneath the facade, there is tension. In their bid to negotiate a new contract with the provincial government, teachers are working to rule. That means they’re not attending staff meetings or communicating with their administrators. They’re not keeping watch over the playgrounds during recess. They’re not scheduling meetings with parents. If the dispute carries on, the teachers say they won’t produce report cards. Given the gap between the demands of the B.C. Teachers Federation and the government’s determination to hold the line on public sector wage increases, there’s every indication the impasse will continue, even escalate. Once again, kids are caught in the middle. The teachers say their demands aren’t just monetary; they want to improve the quality of education they’re able to provide by having fewer students in every classroom and more services for children with special needs. The government says it can’t afford the teachers’ demands, monetary and otherwise. Yet it has no such concern about spending half a billion dollars on a retractable roof for BC Place Stadium, a facility many say was already obsolete years ago. Quality education is too valuable a commodity to become a bargaining chip. An investment in kids today is an investment in the province’s future.

LAST WEEK: Do you have an earthquake survival plan?
You said: YES 27% NO 73%
Tough sales tax choices remain VICTORIA – Bill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the government wanted to. Remember, this is the guy who once figured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consultation. But I digress. Vander Zalm’s typically simplistic analysis soon gave rise to another conspiracy theory. That’s the one that holds that the B.C. Liberals are dragging their feet on reinstating the old Tom provincial sales tax so they can rake in added revenue for another 18 months. That would help repay the federal government $1.6 billion for the transition fund that helped B.C. institute the HST. The finance ministry provided some details to get a better sense of the task ahead. First, there are 70,000 businesses in B.C. that switched their accounting and point-of-sale systems to the HST. It’s not likely that they kept notes, hardware and software on hand in anticipation of having to switch back. Then there are the roughly 1,000 businesses

Question of the week
that start up each month in B.C. Assuming most of that continues, by the time the federal and provincial governments undo the HST in March 2013, there will be thousands of businesses that have no experience dealing with the PST. They’re in for an unpleasant surprise. Here’s one example. Smart Tax Alliance co-chair Mike Jagger got involved in the effort to defend the HST because of his experience running a security company in Vancouver. Due to the ambiguous nature of the PST rules, he got expert advice on how to pay the tax. Three different experts gave him three different answers. You have probably heard by now that after the rejection of the HST by Fletcher 55 per cent of voters, the PST is to be reinstated as it was before July 2010. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon vowed, “I can assure British Columbians PST will not be applied to such items as restaurant meals, bikes and gym memberships – just as it was before the HST was introduced in B.C.” That sounds pretty definitive. But I’ve learned in the last two years that there is seldom a simple answer with sales taxes. For instance, should B.C. reduce tobacco taxes by seven per cent? Unless you’re a smoker, you probably didn’t notice that the HST raised the
price of cigarettes by that amount. Tobacco was PST exempt, with the province historically having chosen to impose a separate “sin tax” instead. Liquor taxes also went down under HST, from a 10-per-cent provincial tax to seven per cent. The B.C. government increased the Liquor Distribution Branch markup to hold onto the revenue, billing it as a policy move so as not to encourage drinking. The hotel room tax also went down by a point under HST. Should that be raised? These are policy decisions that still must be made, with the province still in deficit. • A correction to last week’s column: I referred to a PST reduction for Toyota Prius hybrids, suggesting it would be restored. In fact this tax break had a sunset clause, and would have expired in March 2011 in any case. B.C.’s 2008 “green budget” brought in a series of PST incentives for fuel-efficient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on how carbon-efficient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances. The centerpiece of that budget was the carbon tax.

Robber causes border commotion By Todd Coyne BLACK PRESS
It’s not what the bank robber took but what he left behind that had police scrambling Wednesday to keep pedestrians and commuters away from a credit union on the BurnabyCoquitlam border. “Not in 29 years have I seen anything like this before — never,â€? said RCMP Insp. Al Ramey. Behind him, a robot from the RCMP’s Explosives Disposal Unit (EDU) entered the Vancity credit union at 3977 North Rd. armed with a video camera and two shotgun-like “disruptor cannons.â€? At approximately 11:20 a.m., Burnaby RCMP received a report of a bank robbery in progress at the credit union. A middle-aged man carrying a briefcase reportedly walked up to an employee and demanded money, somehow communicating to her that he had a bomb inside his briefcase. Police will not say whether the teller handed over any money but the suspect promptly left the bank, leaving behind his case. One witness who spoke to Black Press reported seeing a ood of people leaving the credit union just before police arrived. Among them were some Vancity employees who gave chase after the man “at a discrete distance,â€? following

him into the Sears outlet store on Austin Avenue, where he was “subdued by warehouse workers,â€? Ramey said. The man was interviewed by Burnaby RCMP Wednesday and Ramey said police were still trying to ďŹ gure out who he is, adding that he was not cooperating with investigators. “Given the possibility of an IED [improvised explosive device], we cordoned off the area and evacuated a safe radius and restricted all trafďŹ c,â€? Ramey said. By 12:15 p.m., Mounties with the Annacis Island-based EDU had arrived, sending their remote-controlled robot into the credit union to examine the suspicious case.
By 1 p.m., the ofďŹ cers controlling the robot from a nearby van instructed the dozens of Burnaby RCMP ofďŹ cers onscene to halt all vehicle and pedestrian trafďŹ c through the intersection of North Road and Gatineau Place. At 1:05 p.m., the robot ďŹ red one of its explosive charges into the case, opening it sufďŹ ciently that an armour-laden EDU member was able to enter the building and determine that whatever may have been in the case had been neutralized. “It’s like something out of the movies,â€? Insp. Ramey said. By Thursday afternoon, Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk conďŹ rmed that no bomb was found at the scene. “It was determined after it was blown up that there was no explosive inside,â€? she said. She also said police had no further information to release about the suspect except that they believe he was acting alone. As for the actions of the Vancity employees who followed the suspect and the Sears employees who subdued him until police arrived, Ramey said that neither company condones that kind of action — nor does the RCMP. “We just ask that you call 911 and then follow whatever protocols there are,â€? Ramey said. “You don’t know who these guys are and for a little bit of money, it’s not worth it.â€?

Council to consider several rezoning proposals To go to public hearing on Sept. 20
Eliminate shoulder pain in just a handful of treatments
By Wanda Chow NEWSLEADER
Burnaby council gave the go-ahead for several rezoning applications to proceed to public hearing on Sept. 20. Anthem Properties and the Beedie Group are proposing a complete transformation of Station Square shopping centre. The current rezoning application is for the first of five phases which would involve the extensive renovation of the shopping area south of Kingsborough Street. It is also seeking to establish development plan guidelines for the almost 12-acre site which, if approved by council, would eventually be home to residential units within five towers ranging in height from 35 to 57 storeys, as well as commercial space at grade and office space. The entire site would be redesigned to be pedestrian-friendly and “showcases a highly creative approach,” said a city staff report. “The overall redevelopment approach for the site begins with the creation of a very high
Reduce/eliminate limited range of motion, burning aches and the daily discomfort by finding relief at Burnaby Physiotherapy & Hand Therapy
quality public realm, which is designed with the intent of both attracting people and, once on site, keeping people there.” Another project nearby, at 6634 and 6638 Dow Ave., is also seeking rezoning approval to allow for 253 units in a 33-storey highrise apartment tower with townhouses. Currently, the site is comprised of a vacant, older two-storey pluspenthouse apartment building in “very poor condition,” and two empty lots, the report said. There is no commercial space being proposed for Beresford Street at ground level due to the site’s location backing onto Maywood Community School, the fact there is no other commercial space the the immediate area and limited road access. Over in the Edmonds area, a 71-unit, fourstorey apartment building is being proposed for 7125, 7133, 7139 and 7145 Stride Ave. and 7132, 7134 and 7138 16th Ave. The developer plans to daylight a section of Byrne Creek through the site as part of the project. The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20 in city hall council chambers. wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
Too few officers for riot: Report
Burnaby Physiotherapy & Hand Therapy offers gentle, yet effective therapy options such as physiotherapy, accupuncture, shockwave therapy, massage and hand therapy that focus on the cause of shoulder irritations.
By Tom Fletcher BLACK PRESS
Fewer than 500 police officers found themselves dealing with a crowd of 155,000 hockey fans and troublemakers much more quickly than they expected, a review of the Stanley Cup riot has found. Police started out with 446 officers on the streets of downtown Vancouver on June 15, and had 928 on duty by the time the situation was brought under control, said a report issued last Thursday by two reviewers appointed by the B.C. government.

Unlike the 1994 riot, police from different cities were able to communicate, but due to a lack of practice working together, there was still confusion, the report said. Another difference from 1994 was the expansion of SkyTrain service, which rapidly delivered many more people to the downtown core. The police “meet and greet” technique that was effective during similar downtown gatherings at the Olympics in February could not function because of the size and early arrival of the crowd, said Doug Keefe, the former Nova Scotia
deputy minister who conducted the review along with former Vancouver Olympic CEO John Furlong. NDP public safety critic Kathy Corrigan said the province needs to help fund the regional event security recommended by the report. Corrigan said Chu is wrong that people can’t be charged with additional offences if new evidence comes forward. The report makes 53 recommendations to prevent or contain future incidents, including having the RCMP and Vancouver Police tactical squads train together.

Consumers have long operated under the presumption that “bigger is better,” which is often reflected in the size of the vehicles on the road. However, future mandates on fuel economy could significantly increase the number of compact cars being bought and sold. Toyota is already beginning to invest heavily in smaller vehicles. Compact cars were popular and prominently featured attractions at auto shows throughout 2010 and into 2011. Consumers who once leaned toward larger vehicles may now purchase compact cars thanks to escalating fuel costs and more eco-conscious consumerism. Compact hybrids have become trendy among the celebrity set, and many fans may choose to emulate their favorite A-listers. The “green” movement has certainly changed consumer perception of small cars. Compact cars like the Toyota Prius could grow increasingly visible on the nation’s roadways thanks to future government regulations regarding fuel economy.

Burnaby Hearing Centre Why do you charge for a hearing test? Audiologists cannot bill the Medical Services Plan for their professional services. Payment for a complete hearing test ensures you will receive an unbiased, professional opinion. It is common to include this fee when you buy hearing aids. Hearing aids must be ordered within 6 months of your last hearing test If you are covered by a third party such as WorkSafe BC or Veterans Affairs Canada, they will be billed for the hearing test. Extended health plans may pay for the hearing test. Contact your insurance company to see if you can be reimbursed for a hearing test. gs

Merv Magus’s distracted doodles as a boy became his lifelong avocation. But the shrinking world of print media is making it harder for his comics to find an audience. Magus, who’s been retired for 10 years after teaching for 33, has been drawing for as long as he can remember. His caricatures filled the margins of his school books. He doodled during his studies at the University of British Columbia, where he took fine arts as a minor component of his degree. He kept on drawing when he embarked on his teaching career at Burnaby Central secondary. He drew cartoons about his buddies in recreational hockey, his observations from the sidelines as a track, rugby and basketball coach, his experiences as a teacher and about the world around him. In the late 1960s he submitted a bunch of his cartoons, about a moose that lived in South Vancouver, to the local community newspaper that was distributed in his neighbourhood. The editor liked them, even printed a number of them, encouraging Magus to do more. “The success rate helps you start to do more,” says Magus, who then sent some of his cartoons about hockey to the newlyminted Vancouver Canucks. The team’s public relations director at the time, Norm Jewison, said he’d try to fit the occasional one in when an ad space didn’t sell. Magus’ relationship with the Canucks lasted more than 20 years. But the corporatization of big-league sports and the advent of the Internet have made it harder for him to find buyers for his pen-and-ink wit. Posting a panel or strip to his website just isn’t the same as seeing it printed on paper. “I’m from the old days,” says Magus. “I like print, I like the smell of the newspaper.” Ironically, his website helped land him his biggest current client, a golf magazine based in Malaysia for which he draws cartoons about golf, a sport with endless frustrations that make good comic fodder. To see some of Magus’ comics, as well as purchase a book of some his greatest hits about hockey, go to www.cartoonroom. com.

need to do is look for small opportunities and events that interest and excite you. If you get more involved, you’ll be more motivated and you’ll find greater opportunities for success—and you’ll find yourself having fun, no matter where you are, what you’re doing, or who you’re with.
Start small When making changes, it’s best to start small. Change your routine in small, manageable ways. For example, wake up to your favourite playlist or radio station instead of to an annoying, abrasive alarm sound every morning to get a positive start to the day. Find a friend to walk to school with or one who takes the same bus as you. Even better, find a completely new and unique way to get to school or practice: bike riding is a good way to get more exercise, and parkour is becoming more and more popular for those seeking a more adventurous way to travel. Small changes at school are easy to make and will keep you engaged throughout the year. If you have a locker, try decorating it with pictures, quotes and colours. Seeing visual reminders of things that make you happy at various points throughout the day will, in turn, make you happier. Keep your books and binders organized so you can grab them and go, leaving more time to spend with your friends.
Get involved Getting involved in activities will completely change your attitude and will allow you to really make this year a memorable one. Sports teams are always looking for new players—from beginner level community teams, to high level school or league teams, joining a sport will introduce you to new people, and get you active, which is proven to improve
NEWSLEADER FILE
Getting involved in school sports is one way to make the most out of your year.
focus and motivation. If you’re not a fan of the typical sports, look for something more unique such as badminton, Quidditch (seriously, there are teams!) or mountain biking. Joining a club or student council is a lot more fun than it sounds, too; you’ll get the chance to do all kinds of things, like organize talent shows, meet the mayor, and travel to places such as San Diego for conferences and forums. There are lots of extracurricular events and adventures to look forward to throughout the year that can keep things exciting—you just have to keep your eyes open for fun, low-cost activities that appeal to you and your friends. In September, lots of summer stuff is still going on; just because school has started doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy beach volleyball, campfires, outdoor movie screenings, outdoor theatre, music and cultural festivals, and more. Don’t forget that student ID gets you discounted admission to local places you’ve probably forgotten about, such as Science World, the aquarium, the art gallery and the space centre—all of which are worth rediscovering. As the weather cools off, look for more indoor events to take
part in. Check out your local community centre for youth dances, which bring together students from different schools; if you’re a little older, there are always all-ages events being organized in the community, from dances to concerts to movie nights. Fall is the perfect time to discover indoor physical activities, too. Try a zumba class for a fun fitness alternative, or a new type of yoga; join a boxing gym or a martial arts studio, or learn how to tap dance. Those are all ways to keep active that anyone can try, and they’ll keep you moving in a much more unique way.
Keep things fresh Winter is the easiest time of year to slip into boring school patterns. You’re only halfway done, there’s gray slush on the ground trying to pass as snow, and everything feels so sluggish. But don’t forget what makes the Lower Mainland so great! Ski, board or skate on our beautiful mountains and then take advantage of snowless activities too. Get your holiday shopping done at a craft market, or visit the mall with a group of friends. Find different ways to give and receive gifts like Secret Santa or treasure hunts. You’ll also
find lots of holidayinspired events happening around town: try riding the Christmas train in Stanley Park, skating at Robson Square, watching the Polar Express in IMAX 3D, or entering a gingerbread house contest. Sip a peppermint hot chocolate when it gets a little too chilly. In the spring, jump on the playoff bandwagon and cheer on your Vancouver Canucks, if you haven’t been following them already. Even for those not interested in hockey, the playoffs are exciting and each game turns into something to look forward to. They’re most fun to watch with a loud group…and make sure to wear your blue pride on your sleeve.
Variety the spice of life Trying new food will also keep your year interesting. From dynamite rolls to wontons, from falafel to deep-fried Mars Bars, make an effort to add variety to your diet. Food is an easy way to spice up your school day, and weekends can be spent trying out new recipes with all the adventurous friends you’ve made over the course of the year. Spring is a great time for food, since everything starts to grow again. Local is always the way to go, and eating outside can change the pace of a sunny day. In short, the best way to make this year the most rewarding yet is by pushing yourself to try new things and take risks. Take on a task that you never thought you’d try, like a pastry-baking class, a robotics course, orienteering, creative writing, or model United Nations. Set higher goals and challenge yourself to achieve them. Start seeing everything as an adventure; you’ll be surprised at how much you’ll achieve, and best of all, you’ll meet new friends everywhere who have all kinds of things in common with you.
