A shift in Grit voting

AGRICULTURE TIP TOE THROUGH THE TULIPS

reak out your accordian, your juggling balls or your tap-dancing shoes, the City of Chilliwack is looking for buskers. City council approved a pilot street entertainer program for 2011 at its Monday meeting. The program was presented to council by Carolyn Marleau from the city’s Parks, Recreation & Culture Department. “The city has been approached by a number of individuals interested in offering busking or street entertainment,”

f Conservative Mark Strahl lost any votes in Monday’s election because of internal party issues over the nomination process, he likely made them up with small “c” conservative Liberals. Even Liberal candidate Diane Janzen conceded voters shifted from her party in both directions, which decimated Liberal seat totals in the House. “I think what ended up happening is blue Liberals went Conservative and left-leaning Liberals went NDP,” Janzen told the Times Wednesday. “I spoke with a good number of people and I think what they said was ‘we did what we felt was right for the country’ and I respect that immensely.”

On election night, Strahl, also, suggested right-leaning Liberal votes probably came his party’s way, in part because of fear over the NDP surge. “I think people kind of didn’t take the NDP surge seriously at first,” Strahl said. “When it stuck around, people started to have second thoughts. “In the last few days, the Prime Minister was appealing to Liberal voters, people that were looking at that orange surge and saying, ‘well we want change in Ottawa but we don’t See ELECTION, Page 3

he Canadian Taxpayers Federation says retired Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Chuck Strahl will coast into his non-political years with an extremely generous pension. Calling it a “pension and severance bonanza,” the CTF estimated the monies to be paid to 113 MPs who were either defeated or did not seek re-eleciton on May 2. Strahl is one of three B.C. MPs (five nationally) who will receive $3 million or more up until the age of 80. The CTF estimate Strahl will receive an estimated $119,320 per year, or an estimated $3,305,820 over his lifetime. Others include Liberal Keith Martin (EsquimaltJuan de Fuca) at $3.9 million and Conservative Jay Hill (Prince George-Peace River) at $3.3 million. An additional 19 MPs will receive more than $2 million before reaching age 80. The federation says that with 113 MPs, including 11 from B.C., either defeated or retiring, Monday’s election will be one of the most expensive in recent years in terms of payouts. “While many MPs went down to defeat last night, most are still big winners,” said CTF national research director Derek Fildebrandt in a press release. “Even though losing an election can be hard, MPs should find a nice soft landing with their ‘golden parachute.’” A year ago the topic of pension came up but then the CTF had estimated Strahl’s pension would be $155,733 a year. At that time, Strahl conceded that the pension is “hugely generous,” but for “some people, if I make a dollar a year I’d be overpaid and 10 cents of pension I’d

want an NDP government.’ And I think you’ve seen the Liberal numbers, the bottom fall out of them. A lot of them came to us and a lot obviously went to the NDP.” Strahl credited the NDP for the campaign in Quebec that decimated the Bloc Quebecois and saw many candidates claim seats they likely didn’t expect to win. In the end, Strahl received 28,007 votes, or 57 per cent of the total ballots cast. NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahony received 12,636 votes, or 26 per cent, Janzen got 5,296 votes, or 11 per cent and Green Party candidate Jamie Hoskins got 2,686 votes, or 5.5 per cent. Out of 83,713 registered voters in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon, just 58.8 per cent, or 49,189, cast a ballot on Monday. Nationally voter turnout was 61.4 per cent. As for talk that O’Mahony and Janzen campaigned vigorously, and the latter had political experience to rely on, Strahl said it was party platforms that won the day. “The Liberal platform, especially, just doesn’t resonate with people here,” he said. “And so Diane, yes, is a known quantity but she is also running on Michael Ignatieff’s ticket and that’s not going to help her in this riding.” For his part, Chuck Strahl said he did not expect a majority but the percentage of the votes Tories received has increased three elections in a row. He also expressed no regret having stepped down even though his party finally won the majority. “With a majority government you sign on for four years,” he said. “I started in 1991, the year the nomination meeting was held, so that’s 20 years. There just comes a time when it is right to step aside.” Janzen said it was clear to her that voters were tired of what they saw in Ottawa and were tired of going to the polls, but she didn’t sidestep blame for the local vote total. “I do think it was a national vote although I take personal responsibility for the loss, on the size of the loss,” she said. Janzen said she had not looked past May 2 so is not sure if she will stick with the party or if she will run for city council in the November election. She did want to publicly thank all those who volunteered to work on her campaign. What the shift in Ottawa from elder Strahl to younger Strahl will mean for Chilliwack is uncertain. Having an MP who is a senior cabinet minister means the constituency’s representative is often in the limelight and holds a lot of power. On the other hand, a busy schedule means less time for constituency concerns and issues, something a backbencher will be able to concentrate on.

igh-functioning autistic adults who don’t qualify for government help in 2011 might get help down the road if provincial revenues continue to increase, Minister of Social Development Harry Bloy told the Times on Tuesday. Last week, the Times wrapped up a threepart series on autistic adults and teenagers in Chilliwack. A growing number of men and women (but mostly men) diagnosed with autism are entering adulthood. But their parents, and several support workers, have said that few resources are available to those autistic adults whose higher IQ scores and adequate social skills disqualify them from provincial support. Even mild autism, however, can make it difficult to get or retain a job and allow those with the disability to be led astray by adults of dubious intent. In an interview on Tuesday, Bloy said “I think it’s as important to help the low functioning and high functioning, to get them moving in the right direction because for them, if they’re able to go through certain programs, and able BUSKERS, from page 1 Marleau said, adding the department decided it was a good idea to set up a formal program. The pilot program approved by council would see potential buskers pay a $40 fee after which they would conduct a two- to five-minute audition for a selection review committee made up of a city staff member, a representative from the Downtown Chilliwack BIA and a Chilliwack Cultural Centre stakeholder. The pilot program is planned for three locations downtown: Central Community Park, Salish Park and the Clock Tower Plaza. More locations could be added later. Similar programs exist in Kelowna, Vancouver, Nanaimo, New Westminster and Victoria, in addition to specific programs on Granville Island in Vancouver and BC Transit. Marleau differentiated between panhandling and busking—the latter involves a person doing things such as playing an

Pilot program instrument, singing, dancing or juggling, but they may not directly solicit fees from those watching. Some of the benefits of the program outlined by Morneau include helping foot traffic in neglected areas and surrounding businesses as well as introducing “a variety of cultural and entertainment experiences.” The street entertainment will be permitted to operate from April 1 to Sept. 30, seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Coun. Stewart McLean asked about performances near residential areas that might be disruptive as late as 10 p.m. Marleau explained that amplification will not be permitted without a special exemption and the city’s noise bylaw does not come into effect until 11 p.m.

to go out and work in the community, they’re contributing back to the community [and] their own self-esteem.” But he said Community Living BC, the entity that provides funding to disabled men and women, is currently focused on those who need day-to-day help. Bloy noted the province has expanded eligibility for funding, with its $23 million personalized supports initiative (PSI) for those with autism or fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. “It’s all weighted again, like the individual, to those who are most in need, those who most need the services now, for everyday assistance,” said Bloy. Funding for the PSI ends next year, but Bloy—who was only named minister in March—said extending the program “would be my will, but I can’t speak that far out yet.” Asked if there are any plans to help those who need occasional support, Bloy said: “It’s part of the process. The economy has been tight for the last couple of years and when we opened up to bring in more people to Community Living BC, even though we added $23 million to the program for three years, we’re trying to catch up now. “As minister I’m working to try and speed that process up so those people who are eligible for those services will be able to get them.” If the economy continues to improve, that eligibility could be expanded, he said. As for parents who say that they have been told that no help exists for high-functioning adults over 19, Bloy encouraged them to contact Community Living BC or, if that doesn’t work, email him directly.

Pulling the plug on meters BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

fter eight years of fees, parking at Cultus Lake, Chilliwack Lake and Sasquatch provincial parks is now free. Premier Christy Clark announced the free parking on Tuesday at all B.C. provincial parks as part of B.C. Parks centennial celebrations. “The parking meters are coming out and parking will be free, effective immediately, so that British Columbia’s parks are even more welcoming for families,” Clark said in a press release. “Our parks not only contribute to a healthy lifestyle and protect our environment, they are important to our economy. More park visitors mean more tourism dollars and more jobs for rural British Columbians, and we want to eliminate any barriers to using the parks.”

Paid parking at provincial parks has long been controversial, but the government argued the estimated $1 million a year in revenue was needed to pay for park rangers, programs and maintenance. But a 2006 report commissioned by then Environment Minister Barry Penner—only released when the Western Canada Wilderness Committee (WCWC) filed a freedom of information request—said that the parking fees missed revenue targets, had low public compliance and scared away millions of park visitors since introduced in 2003. In that year, revenues for the parking meters were $51,000, which rose steadily to the nearly $1 million in 2005. But the 2006 report found that number didn’t take into account nearly $700,000 in commissions to private operators of the meters, amortized costs of installation and B.C. Parks staff time.

What Can We Learn From Teenage Drivers? In 2005, ICBC published not in the optimum state

a small 16-page booklet called “Navigating the teen driving years — A resource guide for parents.” It addresses the new issues and challenges that teens and their parents face when teens and their friends start driving and offers suggestions, advice, and checklists well worth reviewing at any age and stage in your driving life

THE ROAD RULES

One premise of the booklet is that parents become ‘driving instructors’, whether or not they embrace the role and whether or not their teen is expressly open to this. It encourages parents to ‘model safe driving behaviour’ saying “there is abundant evidence that a teenager’s driving performance mirrors parental practices and parental driving records.” And it recommends discussing safe driving strategies with your teen and continuing to do so “even after your teen gets their fullprivilege license.” Ideally such discussion is a two-way exchange, logical and respectful, not overheated or hectoring. And, as such, parents are encouraged to listen when their new, young, learning driver “points out the parent’s driving errors.” As a rule, of course, we tend not to welcome or relish such ‘feedback’. It shades into ‘back-seat driving’, which most drivers won’t tolerate. And it’s probably fair to say that conventional wisdom supports this intolerance. After all (this thinking goes) the driver is like a ‘ship’s captain’ making mutinous any challenge the driver’s methods. A distracted and upset driver is

of mind for safe driving. Our tendency to hesitate about second-guessing a driver’s methods and even route choices is grounded in more than just courtesy and politeness.

When it comes to driving with a new young driver, however, speaking up at the time could be life Barrister & Solicitor saving. And making sure to discuss the issue later is an important opportunity for learning to be better. The truth is, when it comes to road safety and driving skills, we can all learn from one another and benefit from the advice of keen observers. Licensed drivers are required by law to drive safely by knowing the rules of the road and following them at all times. But this is a tall order.

Becoming a licensed driver is one of the few common rites of passage for modern teens. But the teen driving years can be stressful. Parents are concerned (—rightly so given the statistics) about their teen’s safety, continue to feel as protective as ever, but are also aware of the need to support their teen’s search for independence and self-reliance.

he City of Chilliwack is looking for public feedback on its Healthier Community Strategy Action Plan at an open house May 11. T h e d ra f t p l a n w h i c h focuses on serious and persistent issues in Chilliwack, is a collaborative effort i n v o l v i n g g ov e r n m e n t , community agencies, faith groups and others. The main issues the plan hopes to address include crime, homelessness, and mental health and addictions. The open house is May 11 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre and will include a presentation outlining the history, context, current outcomes and next steps for the process. This will be done at 4:15 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. The public is invited to hear the presentations, view displays of the draft plan and discuss it with those present. “I’m very pleased with outcomes of this process,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “It strongly reflects the good work that has been done in the community over the years and provides a frame-

work for moving forward. Key to its success will be the ongoing involvement of the community in taking action. I encourage our residents to come to the open house, look at the plan and see how they’d like to get involved.” In October and November 2010, 78 people representing more than 30 organizations participated in one or more engagement sessions to develop the Healthier Community Strategic Action Plan. The process was guided by a steering committee that included broad representation from the health, education and social service sectors. The City of Chilliwack acted as a co-ordinator of the process and provided staff resources to support the collaboration. More than 25 youth from Sardis, Chilliwack, and G.W. Graham high schools, Sto:lo Alternate School, Chilliwack Community Services and Chilliwack Alcohol and Drug Services Youth programs participated in a parallel youth consultation session, and a public online survey yielded 75 responses.

Crime reduction top focus Mounties setting specific targets

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

n less than shocking news, the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP’s first priority in its new three-year strategic plan is to reduce crime. The plan, which was developed following a public survey earlier this year, was presented to city council Tuesday. It lays out the broad strokes of the Mounties’ crime-fighting strategy for the coming years and also sets down specific targets for decreasing property and drug crime in the Eastern Fraser Valley. The Mounties say they want to “target 10 crack houses per year” and arrest 20 drug dealers in order to disrupt drug activity. And they want to decrease property crime—such as break and enters, thefts from vehicles and homes, and auto theft—by 10 per cent. The RCMP also hopes to reduce the number of active prolific offenders by 10 per cent; reduce the number of drug “hotspots” by 10 per cent; increase the number of “quality human sources used through intelligence-based policing” by 20 per cent; and give every property crime victim a “crime reduction information package.” Supt. Keith Robinson said the targets are important and provide a way to measure the force’s ability to implement

File/TIMES

the plan. “Anybody can create a strategic plan and anybody can say this is what we’re going to do, but if you don’t monitor it and you don’t have some means of measuring how you did, then it really means nothing,” Robinson told the Times, adding that the force will publicly report its progress on those files. To meet the goals, the plan says the RCMP will continue its prolific offender program, along with its computer analysis of crime hotspots. But they also vow to “improve education for dispatch, front counter and staff who work with the general public regarding how to appropriately direct calls.” The Mounties’ secondary objective is to increase officers’ visibility and presence in the community. “From our community consultations and survey in early 2011, it is clear that the visibility and presence of our members is a high priority for citizens,” the report states. “The physical distances and geographic diversity that characterize

our service area make this objective an ongoing challenge, particularly given the realities of limited resources.” In an online survey conducted in February, two-thirds of residents said they were satisfied with the RCMP’s service. Only 8 per cent said they were dissatisfied. However, satisfaction levels drop for those residents who recently experienced a crime; less than half (49 per cent) said RCMP services were somewhat or very good while 24 per cent rated services as average. While becoming a victim of crime tends to automatically lower one’s feelings about Mounties, Robinson said that “although they were a victim of crime, we’re hoping to show them that we are actively going after the people who perpetrated that crime against them and that we’re successful at doing that.” The survey also said police should target drug trafficking and property crime as their main priorities. To address the request for a greater presence, the RCMP aims to increase local business foot patrols, improve awareness of the detachment’s website, and hold more presentations and domestic violence workshops. The report also notes that police file counts in Chilliwack decreased three per cent from 2009 to 2010. That followed a four per cent drop the previous year, but counts are still significantly higher than 2007 levels. Agassiz/Harrison experienced a more significant decrease in crime and counts are now back near 2007 levels there.

Survival tips for hockey haters

ome may consider this a shameful confession: I am a fan neither of the Vancouver Canucks, nor of hockey in general. For whatever reason, I never caught the hockey fan virus. It helps that I was a quiet, nerdy kid more interested in Tolkein and Heinlein novels than sports. (Sports at which I was bad as a child: all of them.) For most of the year, this has no impact on my day-to-day life. Then the playoffs hit. The better the Canucks do, the harder it is for the hockey-neutral to go about our daily lives. If you are a Canucks fan, try to imagine small talk for we non-fans. “Great game last night!/Man, that was a disappointing game!” says the fan, as an opening gambit. “Um, didn’t catch it,” the non-fan mutters. “Tape it?” “Nope.” “DVR it?” “Nuh-uh.” “Were you having an emergency liver transplant then, BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY EXCUSE FOR MISSING A PLAYOFF GAME!” It’s kind of hard to change the subject to the weather after that. The media isn’t helping, either. The morning after the seventh game of the series with Chicago, a local TV station’s morning news devoted five minutes to the game. Then 30 seconds to the federal

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest election campaign. So please, Canucks fans, on behalf of non-fans everywhere, let us be, OK? We don’t begrudge you your fun. It’s cool that you like your team. A little weird, with the jerseys and the face paint and the Dionysian celebrations in the streets, but that’s your thing. Just try and remember the following facts during the remainder of the playoffs: ◗ Things other than the playoffs are going on. There was federal election, an upcoming HST referendum, floods in Manitoba, twisters in the U.S., and revolts and civil wars in the Middle East. Perspective! Try it at least once a day! ◗ A fondness for hockey is not actually a pre-requisite of Canadian citizenship. ◗ Inviting us to your Canuckwatching party, while well-meaning, is not actually going to be fun for us. Would you like to come over and watch me sort my comic books by issue number? No? OK then, maybe we can go do something we’d both enjoy. ◗ Not caring about hockey does

not mean I don’t like Stompin’ Tom Connors. I just prefer “Sudbury Saturday Night” to “The Hockey Song.” ◗ When you start talking to us about various hockey players, you might as well be talking to a dog. “Yeah, Xyrkpl was great last night, but Frngtrph needs to step up his game,” is what we hear. And to my fellow non-hockey fans, don’t follow my example. Avoid baiting the hockey-loving masses. My mother, brother, and several other friends and relatives are big Canucks fans. During family visits that coincide with games, I have been known to mess with them. “Is this the third down?” is not the appropriate response to overtime. Declaring that professional sports are a tool of the bourgeois ruling class to distract the proletariat is not a good idea. Unless you’re watching hockey with a Marxist. Asking which team we’re rooting for will probably not be appreciated. Actually rooting for the nonCanuck team seems to result in a punch to the arm. Finally, non-hockey fans, remember that the playoffs are a finite period of time. Everything will be back to normal, once the Canucks get their butts kicked by Nashville. ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the LangleyAdvance.

his federal election looked like it was going to be pretty boring, but turned out to be pretty engaging after all. There were few surprises locally. Our new representative, Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl, received an overwhelming mandate to stand up for us in Ottawa. There were 28,007 people who chose Strahl on Monday. He beat out New Democrat Gwen O’Mahony’s 12,636 votes by a massive margin. But add those two together along with Liberal Diane Janzen’s 5,296 votes and the others and you have 49,189 people who voted in this riding, according to the latest numbers from Elections Canada. There are 83,713 registered voters in the riding, which means 34,524 individuals who could have voted were either too lazy, apathetic, disinterested, bitter or just clueless to even go to the poll and cast a ballot. Voter turnout in all elections continues to be a shocking embarrassment. So what does it take to engage people? Is it a problem of cynicism or satisfaction? Are some people so fed up with politicians or a feeling their vote doesn’t matter that they don’t vote? Or maybe we become so coddled in our relative comfort in Canada that some feel no need to pay attention? We truly don’t know the answer, but when not even two out of three eligible voters cast a ballot, there has to be something wrong with the system. The most interesting race as poll after poll was counted Monday night was between Marxist-Leninist Dorothy-Jean O’Donnell and Western Block candidate Clive Edwards. In the end, 180 voted for Edwards and 173 for O’Donnell. That means 353 people took time out of their day to make their way to the polls to vote for a candidate that clearly had no chance of winning. Good for them. Shame on those who couldn’t be bothered to show up at all.

ford. What is good for the provincial capital is clearly good enough for us, since we occupy a much wider area of urban sprawl. Mayor Sharon Gaetz, has affirmed that “87 per cent of transit rides stay in Chilliwack,” but I seem to remember a phrase from Field of Dreams, stating, “If you build it, they will come.” I believe that not only he and she, but multitudes will embrace the opportunity to travel through light rail (at a fraction of the cost of Skytrain) from Chilliwack to Surrey or Vancouver. We have the tracks, we have the rights, and upgrades would cost a fraction of Skytrain. If it worked a century ago, why can’t it work now with our significantly increased, and ever-growing, population? Let us finally stop being conservative

in our expectations and embrace the future now, as many other communities are choosing to do. Elaine Foxgord Chilliwack

Time to take another look Editor: It appears that the topic of a gaming centre is back on the table with the recent articles on the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation proposal to buy the Chilliwack Bingo Association and set up shop on Young Road where the Bingo Association was going to expand its operation. This was a hotly-debated issue that went before Chilliwack city council and was narrowly approved in

September 2009 as an expansion for the local community groups under the premise of jobs and interpretation that any revenues would be returned back to the city’s community groups. As an aside, the fact is the monies actually go to Victoria to the Gaming Corporation which decides which groups get what levels of monies. The proposal should be tabled and discussed by the Chilliwack city council again. The conditions of the originally approved expansion proposal have changed. he Chilliwack Bingo Association would no longer be involved and a private company is the proposed driving force of the gaming expansion. They should appear before council and the public to explain their proposal and how it may benefit the community and allow the community to

examine the proposal for any negative affects on our community. And there may be a few. One gaming association is not necessarily the same as the other. For example, one does not have to look very far for examples of where a private gaming organization’s expansion was not thought to be in the best interest of the local community. On April 19, the City of Vancouver council led by Mayor Gregor Robertson voted unanimously against the proposal to open a new casino run by a private gaming company. He is quoted as saying, “I personally do not believe the expansion of gambling is the right direction for Vancouver,” and “Enabling the largest casino in western Canada to locate in the downtown doesn’t fit

with our global brand as the world’s most livable city, as the green capital, as the hotbed for innovation for clean and digital technology.” The councillors agreed that the negative impacts of increased gambling addiction and crime simply outweighed the potential benefits of more revenue and jobs. On the political side of the equation, there’s a wide spectrum of groups from right to left opposing the expansion, joined by medical health officers and members of various police forces. Twenty former police officers from across Western Canada sent a letter to the city councillors asking them to say no to the proposed casino citing crime and loan-sharking issues. Vancouver medical health officer John Carsley was opposed to the large new facility in Vancouver. Citing his public health duties, Dr. Carsley said there is too much risk that the planned tripling of gaming opportunities by owners of the current casino will lead to an increase in problem gamblers. On the economic side of the debate, the Vancouver Hospitality Association, which represents a large group of bars and restaurants, came out against the casino expansion, which includes two hotels and a cluster of bars and restaurants. They are quoted as saying, “Our concern is not the gambling, it’s the fact that there could be 4,000 to 5,000 new liquor seats here, which is the same as all of the Granville entertainment district,” said John Teti, an association member. Are the reasons that the City of Vancouver came up with in their debate and decision any less applicable to our city? The circumstances are very similar. The conditions of the original bingo association proposal are about to be radically changed with a new legal entity entering the picture and a review and new decision needs to be conducted and reached if the proposal to sell the Bingo Association goes through. If a private gaming group wants to open up in Chilliwack, they should do so by following the democratic process and come into our city through the front door in a transparent manner and this entails a review and a vote on the proposal by the City of Chilliwack’s elected officials and the public yet again. This issue is too important to our Community to leave unaddressed, especially given the recent experience and findings of a neighbouring community. Mayor Gaetz, will you provide the necessary leadership on this with city council and initiate a new public discussion and decision? Dale McGregor Chilliwack

Editor: I applaud the intentions of the BC Transit provincewide tour to gather input on the 25-year plan for transit, and support Mayor Sharon Gaetz’s opinion that (local) “Hourly service is not going to cut it.” Having experienced 20 years of taking Chilliwack transit, I can truly attest to the reality of her statement. In some cases, it is not even hourly. For example, Fairfield Island residents have no 2 p.m. bus. Therefore they must take the 1 p.m. or settle for the 3 p.m. As for inter-city journeys, I have experienced decades of Greyhound transit and am able to fully recall the frequent discomfort of the experience. Traffic or weather conditions often mean that buses arrive well past their scheduled time, at no fault of the driver. I have been crammed into more crowded and uncomfortable buses (sometimes with standees or passengers left behind to await the next journey, often hours away) with deplorable washroom facilities than I can possibly recount. Then, if one has to make a transfer in Vancouver, there is the constant anxiety about whether the bus will arrive on time, which is not helped by (admittedly necessary) highway construction and frequent bottlenecks between Langley and the Port Mann bridge. I have often arrived in Vancouver very frustrated that I have missed my connection (often by five minutes), and must then wait one to two hours for a Pacific Coach Lines bus to get me to Victoria. This ultimately results in a trip exceeding seven to eight hours. While light rail transportation may be only slightly faster, it would have the convenience of stopping at many post-secondary institutions, plus the Abbotsford Airport (which currently has no direct transit link) and then connecting with Skytrain. How could “rapid buses” provide the same experience? Trains are more spacious, cleaner, more easily allow commuters to work (or relax) as they travel, and do not have the disadvantage of having to navigate congested highways, which will ultimately become worse with time. I urge all the local and provincial politicians involved to heed the words of Dr. John Buker of Rail for the Valley, since there were clearly massive flaws in the study released by the province in December. Light rail is not only popular in Europe but is also currently being considered as a link between Victoria and Lang-

As a result, I have met people from many places including Iran, Jamaica, Korea, Germany, Turkey, Brazil, Austria, Taiwan, Chile, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Japan, Sudan, and the Philippines. I didn’t know that there were so many different cultures here. Some have come because of love, some to learn English, and some for a better life for their children.

move. Those with the skills and training that have made it possible for them to come to Canada have, at the same time, had steep challenges to overcome. One of the biggest challenges, of course, is learning our language. Over the course of the year we have explored our different perspectives and struggles. What do our immigrants find challenging when arriving in Canada? For some it has been navigating our currency. For others, finding their way around the city and not getting lost has been an adventure. One gal told us that her computer was broken and she had

brought it in to get it fixed…over a month ago. She said in Korea, if your computer is not working you phone a call center that deals with all computers, they dispatch a repair man who comes to your house and it is fixed in an hour or two. Many have left behind extended family, friends, and a familiar community for the sake of their children. They want them to get a good education, to be safe and to have the opportunity to get good jobs. It’s a sacrifice.

(NC)—Despite a slow start to the season, warmer temperatures and sunnier days mean one thing: the green of spring is not far away. And when it comes to lawns, a little care now will go a long way to ensuring plant health in the dog days of summer that lie ahead. The Urban Fertilizer Council suggests following the 4 Rs to ensure your lawn is getting the nutrients it needs to stay healthy from season to season: ◗ Right Source: buy a fertilizer recommended for your lawn or garden ◗ Right Rate: know the size of your lawn and only buy what you need. Apply at the application rate as recommended on the label, using a good quality fertilizer spreader ◗ Right Time: apply fertilizer in the correct season. Spring and fall are the best times to fertilize. Don’t apply if heavy

Forget smoke and mirrors, use paint to convey height BY LISA KADANE Postmedia News

ptical Illusions: Got a small room you wish was twice as big? Use paint to convey largeness, say the paint professionals at Canadian paint brand CIL. According to CIL, painting is the simplest and most economical way to make a small space appear larger. Not sure how this can be? Here are some tips: Draw the line. Paint a horizontal stripe around a small room to make it look deeper and wider. Be a colour schemer. Cool colours such as

soft blues, purples and greens make smaller areas feel open and airy. Shed light on the subject. Assess the amount of natural and artificial light coming into the room. Good lighting makes paint colours appear lighter, so rooms that have a lot of natural light may tolerate a warmer hue. Avoid distractions. Paint the trim in a small room a different shade of the main colour so it will fade into the background. Also, use patterns sparingly. Have tricks up your sleeve. Create the illusion of height by painting the bottom half of a wall in a darker colour than the top.

Leafy greens are so good for you

eafy green vegetables can give you a longer and more varied harvest than any other food plants—and the ways these leaves can be used has widened in the last few years to include smoothies and wraps as well as salads. Most leafy greens tolerate part shade and many are cut-and-come again. Both these characteristics makes them very useful in containers on partly-shady balconies—especially since all the major pests of green leaves (slugs, flea beetles, aphids and leaf miners) seldom trouble apartment gardens. In-ground gardeners aren’t so lucky. Row covers are good protectors where the gardener feels flying insects are doing intolerable damage. But row covers aren’t cheap and need to be cleaned and stored very carefully if they are to last two or three years. Slug-infested gardens have special challenges because row-plantings make plants an easy meal. For instance a slug can chomp down a row of leafy seedlings in a single night. Many organic people prefer to dot vegetable plantings in isolated groups all over the food garden. This protects against disease transfer and insects and is effective if slug numbers are low. Where slugs are a major problem, gardeners might find it best to have all the leafy green veggies in one spot where hand-picking or alternative slug control can be more concentrated—a raised bed edged with copper tape is one good protection. A leafy green that slugs dislike is arugula. This is a fast-growing spring and fall crop that loves moist, cool weather. Young leaves are nicely peppery but old leaves are burningly hot. Corn salad is another cool-weather crop which survives mild frost, though it won’t grow in winter unless you protect it. The leaves form a rosette pretty enough for a flower garden and the sturdy leaves are quite pest-resistant. It likes

HEATING & COOLING

Green Thumb very rich soil. Mustard also needs early spring or late summer planting. Young leaves taste mild but, like arugula, the older leaves are fiery-tasting. Young, bigger leaves can be cooked. Many lettuces also prefer cool spring or fall weather. The best types for cut-andcome again are Cos and Romaine lettuce. But for summer use, it’s important to plant heat-resistant lettuce such as Lollo Rossa or Red Oakleaf. Even these two do best in shade. For fall planting, the heirloom lettuce Winter Density is a useful choice. Tall leafy greens such as kale can be harvested repeatedly if you just cut a few leaves at a time. The heritage kales such as Red Russian and Hungry Gap are especially useful because they have impressive cold resistance. Another leafy vegetable which is harvested well into the fall is Swiss Chard. The leaves can be stirfried and the stems can be sliced small and steamed. Some chards, such as the red Rhubarb Chard or the multi-coloured Bright Lights are very pretty. For hot summers, New Zealand spinach thrives when other crops bolt and dry out. This makes everenlarging mats of small, succulent green leaves from late July to frost. Then there’s the beautiful nasturtium. The leaves are a mild, peppery treat in salad, the flowers can be eaten and so can the immature seed pods. One of the prettiest varieties is Alaska, which has delicate-coloured flowers and green-and-white variegated leaves. ◗ Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

he return of the Chilliwack Chiefs seems to be drawing closer as the BCHL board of governors has planned a vote on whether to allow the beleaguered Quesnel Millionaires to move this year. Talks between the Chiefs Development Group, which operates the Prospera Centre, and the owners of the Millionaires are continuing, according to CDG consultant Glen Ringdal. “We are exploring an option with the Millionaires,” he said. But he added that “there’s been no offer submitted. There’s no deal in place, but we are definitely talking to them.” Ringdal said: “We continue to explore every opportunity that we have. The rope is getting tighter around our necks and we’ve got to get something done.” The BCHL board of governors held a conference call Tuesday evening at which the Millionaires’ relocation to Chilliwack was discussed. Vernon Vipers owner Duncan Wray—who chairs the franchise committee—told the Times. “I don’t think [the relocation] is anywhere close to being done. At this point in the game, we as a board of governors is looking at the potential for doing so. But nothing is set in stone.”

Cricket anyone? Chilliwack’s Eastern District Cricket Club has launched a women’s team. A couple more female players over the age of 16 are still needed. Those who have signed up are all new to the game so play will begin at a sedate pace to introduce players to the sport. The cricket club hosts its Women’s BBQ May 7 at Meadowbrook Park in Chilliwack. The club will serve burgers and hot dogs from 2 to 5 p.m. Those interested should contact Jennifer at 604-491-4442, Scott at 779998-3260, email easterndistrictcricket@live.ca, or show up on Saturday.

But Wray confirmed that governors discussed the relocation fee required to move the club. And he said his committee has put forward a motion “to explore the opportunity of moving for this coming season” despite it being well past the normal December deadline. No vote has yet been taken. In a press release, CDG part-owner Moray Keith said it would take up to two weeks to complete a deal and meet the requirements of the league. He added: “the BCHL is very appreciated in Chilliwack and we definitely want hockey here this year. So we are talking with the people from Quesnel to see if we can create a good fit.” The Quesnel ownership group has publicly stated that it is unlikely that the team will remain in the city next year, and sources close to the Millionaires confirmed to the Times that the British Columbia Hockey League team is now as good as gone. Asked about plans to move the Millionaires to Chilliwack, Wray told the Times “As far as my understanding is concerned, that’s the only offer on the table.” If the Millionaires do come to Chilliwack, they would be named the Chiefs, with the Langley franchise that took that name west having officially rebranded as the Rivermen this week. “I do get quite excited about the natural rivalry that would exist between a BCHL team in Chilliwack and our former team in Langley,” said Keith. Whether or not Harvey Smyl would return to coach the new Chiefs, as has been speculated, is unclear. The Times was not able to contact Smyl before press time.

She was unbroken by ankle injury Gymnast defies the odds to win

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

hen 13-year-old gymnast Marquita Morison hit the floor after a double tuck-full twist dismount from the uneven bars during training late last November, it looked like her season was finished. “She landed wrong and her leg just went ‘pop,’” said Morison’s mom, Nicole. The young Chilliwack gymnast, who trains at Twisters Gym in Abbotsford, had broken both the bones in her ankle, and she was devastated. “The coaches didn’t think that she was going to compete at all this year,” said Nicole. But Morison, determined to come back in time to qualify for the Western Canadian Championships, conditioned relentlessly in spite of her cast, and in March (just two-and-a-half weeks after

she was cleared to resume full training) she managed to earn a place on the P5 Novice B.C. Team. Her determination paid off in spades last weekend at the 2011 Western Canadian Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Grande Prairie, Alta. She captured the P5 Novice all-around championship title and took home five other medals. After winning the allaround gold on the first day of competition, she took gold on uneven bars and floor, silver on vault and bronze on beam during the second day. She also helped B.C. capture team gold. “I never thought I could do it,” said Morison. “I thought I’d come back, but I just thought I wasn’t going to be able to do all the same skills I did before.” Her ankle still hurts a little, but her fear of re-injuring herself only lasted for a few dismounts in training and didn’t hold her back during last week’s competition. With a tumultuous season behind her, she now has her sights set on moving up to national-level competition in the not-to-distant future.

Offence came from Colin Kellington, Shane Rutley, and Bailey Whitehouse, all three of whom reached base on each trip to the plate. Reece Howden and Tyson Loewen each went twofor-three, while Colin Kellington spanked a beauty of a triple and Tyson Loewen knocked out a nice stand-up double. Gabriel Olivares also hit well. However it wasn’t enough asAbbotsford started making contact in the fifth and sixth innings and got help from a couple of minor errors as they pulled ahead of Chilliwack.

Garden Gifts that say Tri-ed and true method Sports

‘Thanks Mom! ’

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

riathletes have a reputation as a hardcore, intense bunch. After all, the best-known events in the sport are the grueling Ironman races, in which athletes swim 3.8 kilometres, bike 180 kilometres and then run a full marathon. But as members of the Chilliwack Triathlon Club gear up for the upcoming race season, it would seem that reports of triathletes’ insanity have been greatly exaggerated. Last year, at age 42, Dan Nelson was an out-of-shape father of two young children. A sales manager with a window and door company, Nelson would visit a Chilliwack client and talk about his lack of fitness. “I’d go and sit in his office every week and complain about how out of shape I was,” he said. That went on for two years before the client, a member of the Chilliwack Triathlon Club, finally convinced Norman that triathlon, and triathletes, weren’t as scary as they sounded. “Lo and behold it wasn’t,” he told the Times. Indeed, most triathlons are much shorter than Ironmans. Sprint triathlons—like the one held each year at Cultus Lake—can be completed in a little more than an hour. “If you can swim, you know how to ride a bike, and you know how to run, you can do a triathlon,” said the Triathlon Club’s past president Bruce Honeyman, who picked up the sport 10 years ago. He said the variety in a triathlon, and some of the strategy, draws fitness buffs who’ve grown bored with their workout routine. “I think a lot of people get bored of just running all the time,” said Honeyman. The swim is the major obstacle for many. But even those who have trouble doing a lap at the pool can, with the proper technique and after some cardio training, learn to swim longer distances. Honeyman said one fellow triathlete has gone from being a novice swimmer to competing in an ironman in just the last two years. Even dedicated triathletes will tell you that training sucks. But the payoffs come in a variety of ways. For Honeyman, there’s “a feeling of accomplishment”

that comes with completing a big race. And there’s the physical fitness that is so important as one’s 30s recede in the rearview mirror. For Norman, the benefits of physical fitness can be seen in his children’s smiles. “The main thing for me is I was 42 and had been inactive for probably 15 years and I had two small children,” he said. “There was a time that I thought, my little kids—my sixyear-old and three-year-old—were never going to see their dad as an athletic person and that was a hard pill to swallow. “Now, I get to go out and do anything with my kids, playing soccer, playing ball, anything that involves running whereas before I couldn’t run up and down the soccer pitch,” he said. “Now I get to join them in any physical activity they want to do and hopefully I’ll get to do that for the next decade.” ◗ Fo r m o re information on getting involved in a triathlon visit www.chilliwacktriclub.ca.

Forcing her into truck PIMP, from page 1 building, the man grabbed her and tried to force the woman to go with him. However, the appearance of a tenant from the building caused the man to flee in his truck. The woman escaped with minor injuries. Police say the man was trying to force the woman to work for him, and had previously asked her to do so. His name, though, is unknown. “The RCMP have an ongoing concern for the safety of the sextrade workers in the Chilliwack area and are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the man responsible for this attack,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth in a press release. “This investigation is currently ongoing. At this time the police cannot determine if this was a targeted attack or not.” The man is described as white and in his mid-30s to mid-40s. He was five-foot-seven to fivefoot-10, around 180 pounds with a slim build. His blond hair was cut very short in an army style, and he was clean shaven. The truck was described as a red older-model Dodge or Ford with silver trim and a dirty white or beige canopy.

Sunday’s 10th annual Hike for Hospice attracted 115 participants who raised $15,247.38 to date. Additionally, at least 60 volunteers and another 25 folks came along just to support the efforts and encourage participants.

Students earn field trip

hirty Vedder elementary students will soon be standing in a glass-enclosed pod 58 metres above Grouse Mountain and as close as two metres away from the massive rotating blades of the Eye of the Wind—B.C.’s largest energy-producing wind turbine. The school won the all-expenses-paid field trip this month in Chilliwack’s first ever Green Games, a three-month challenge that ran from Jan. 4 to March 31 to see which school could come up with the best plan to reduce staff and student energy use. Vedder elementary’s plan included student role modeling, a “lights-out” patrol and even a song sung by students on the PA system to remind teachers and students to turn off lights, monitors and other electronics when not in use. Officials decided to award Unsworth elementary a 30-student, all-expenses-paid trip to the Eye of the Wind as well because,

although that school didn’t win the challenge, they had had energy conservation initiatives in place long before, making it harder for them to show the same dramatic improvement as other schools. “Unsworth is a fantastic example of a green champion that serves as a role model for how collective action can make a difference in our district, community and world,” reads a School District No. 33 press release. Other Chilliwack schools that submitted projects to Chilliwack’s inaugural Green Games were A.D. Rundle middle school, Bernard elementary, Promontory community school and Evans elementary. Bernard elementary received an honourable mention from the B.C. Green Games, a different contest sponsored by Science World, and the school district rewarded that accomplishment with a $500 grant to be used toward a field trip with an environmental theme.

‘The funniest guy in Canada’

Comic Derek Edwards shares plenty of laughter BY ERIC VOLMERS Postmedia News

omedian Derek Edwards seems amused when told a YouTube video of his standup routine seems to have sparked an ‘us vs. them’ exchange among anonymous commentators from Canada and the U.S. In the video, Edwards is hardly being controversial or political. He offers some typically sardonic views on benign topics such as lazy bank tellers, Mad Cow disease, his tiny northern hometown of Timmins, Ont., and its most famous native, Shania Twain— delivering it all with a fairly pronounced Canadian “accent.” And while most of the posted remarks are flattering, a few self-styled pundits use the forum to veer wildly off course into those areas that self-styled pundits tend to veer wildly off course into: religion, Obama, Bush. Edwards laughs when told about it. Now 15 years into a comedy career that often takes him into the U.S., he admits he’s still figuring out our neighbours to the south. “I really like any state in America that has four distinct seasons,” he says. “I find them much more relatable to Canadian concerns if they have to weather a winter. I’ve played in Minneapolis before. Marvellous! Just like Canucks: Hard drinkers, hard workers, good laughers.” Other places, such as Little Rock, Ark., are a different world, he says. “Little Rock, Arkansas was particularly unique,” he says, struggling for some Canadian diplomacy. “There’s a denseness . . . It’s very friendly . . . kind of an

ignorance is bliss thing.” Edwards will not have to worry about his audiences not relating to Canadian concerns in the next few weeks. He has recently started a tour of Western Canada and will perform at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on May 13. And while Edwards says he often deals in the “generalities of human nature” for his routines, he does use his frequent travels across his own country to examine the subtle peculiarities that separate us from province to province, town to town. “Usually there’s something I can throw into the old packsack full of jokes that will apply specifically to Calgary or Red Deer,” he says, or whatever part of the country he’s touring at that moment. “I have memories of these places having been in the biz for quite a while of the early gigs and working the crazy onenighters. Stories I head about the places or even things I’ve noticed on the road on the way in.” The Just For Laughs Festival once referred to him as a “smalltown boy delivering bigtime laughs.” But he’s also been called, by Rick Mercer among others, “the funniest guy in Canada.” If Timmins is far from a comedy hot spot now, it was even less so when the 51-yearold was growing up. So, like many fans of standup, Edwards watched Johnny Carson for inspiration. There were no open mikes or one-nighter comedy clubs in those days. So Edwards became a drummer in, er, a Timmins polka band. ◗ Reserved seating tickets for Derek Edwards—My Blunderful Life Tour are $43 to $45 (including HST; depending on local facility charges; some additional ticket handling fees may apply), and are available from the Cultural Centre box office 604-391-7469 or visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.com.

This team has set itself a goal of raising $50,000 for cancer research. Last year they were able to raise just under $20,000 with a five-member team and so believe this is a very viable goal. The ride as a whole raised $9.2 million last year, and

One Person’s Junk is Another Person’s Treasure! Lighten up and advertise your items in

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to chase money. This week is relatively smooth, unhurried. Sunday holds a few frustrations if you wander afield after outside goals or adventure. Instead, stay home, garden, repair, or soak up nature. Romance, creative surges, pleasure and beauty surge Monday/Tuesday – you’re a winner! Tackle chores Wednesday/Thursday, buy machinery, seek health cures, employment or employees – you’ll succeed. Relationships face the deep, slow pulling apart you’ve noticed in recent years, but Saturday shows the cure. The problem is your ambition: the cure is another’s – support it. Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy, effectiveness and charisma rise nicely! Don’t expect everything, as you’re in the trough that comes just before the big luck wave swells. That trough lasts to June 4 – five more weeks. Then 53 weeks of great, life-changing luck begin! Don’t waste your present energy: you can solve problems that would usually stymie you, can accomplish unusual feats. Focus your abilities on solving whatever has held you back. The main thing: to clear the way for big, lucky things June onward. Home’s sweet, good Monday/Tuesday. Romance, creativity midweek. Work, Friday. A good week! Gemini May 21-June 20: Continue to rest, plan, pray, meditate. Be charitable, deal with government agencies, institutions. Wishes can still come true, but consider this: wishes that lead to freedom are much more viable than those that lead to depth, darkness, lust, security, investment. Soon, you will get a chance for these deeper things (June 2011June 2012) but over the entire rest of this decade, these deeper things will “disagree” with ethics, law, friendship, lighter laughter – and the lighter will win. This also means light romance will conquer deep romance. Buy nothing Sunday. Success, all week!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy and charisma step up a notch Sunday – conquer problems, seek solutions. Chase money Monday/Tuesday – and chase friends, contacts, information Wednesday/Thursday – luck accompanies you in both endeavours! Be home, pay attention to the needs of children, parents Friday/Saturday. Take a rest after a lucky, active week. Wishes can come true this week and next, especially in career and social arenas. But realize your career is changing deeply (and in many cases suddenly) over the next eight years: in-depth research, investment, power plays, secrets play a bigger role. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Chase ambitions, and the people who can grant them. You’ll be tested, but you’ll win an “A!” Rest Sunday, plan and prepare – but be careful with fire, hot irons and ethical/ legal temptations. Your energy and charisma soar Monday/Tuesday – get out and impress people, especially bosses, VIPs, parents and authorities. Chase money (e.g., ask for a pay raise, seek new clients) Wednesday/Thursday. These are four successful, satisfying days – by Friday/Saturday you’ll be ready to socialize, dream, wish and enjoy your optimism – though it will be a sober optimism. Until 2019, love succeeds! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A gentle, compassionate understanding flows over you. You might fall in love. Actually, someone is likely more impressed with you than vice-versa, Wednesday/Thursday. Still, you might fall in love. Something is working powerfully to change your life – it could be sex, could be finances, a move, a secret, an urge – Charlie Sheen is a Virgo, and a hero, because he is embodying the Virgo urge right now. Behind-scenes actions, government and administrative chores succeed Monday/Tuesday. Charge forth and chase a major goal Wednesday/ Thursday! Money needs care Friday/Saturday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Most trends/occurrences are split into two streams: open relationships, and the more private, behind-scenes interactions. E.g., you are meeting challenging but lucky people or bright, obvious opportunities – these can quickly turn to intimacy, mutual financial funding, investment, detective work, or lifestyle commitments. Look for friendship on the surface, bonding underneath. Soon, this “deeper side” will increase – and by June onward, for a year, it will grow very lucky. But for now, the luck resides in the meeting, the seeing, relocation, pursuing new horizons and opportunities. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: This month doesn’t exactly offer you the prize with a flourish of easy luck, but it does give you a real preview of the luck to come, June 2011to June 2012. The prize involves a relationship. It could be an opportunity in business, new life horizons, love/marriage, fame, contract negotiations. It will arise because you impress or please someone, because you’re diplomatic and focused on another’s needs and desires. (You’re an expert at that.) This week, study your ethics Sunday: right, wrong? Your ambitions meet luck Monday/Tuesday; your hopes meet “a friend” Wednesday/Thursday! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Lots of work faces you – you might as well plod through. Recent romantic, pleasurable, creative or child-oriented ventures remain active, lucky. The year ahead (starting in a week or two) will expand your duties, so pack in some last-minute pleasure and relaxation now, while you can. You might, in the six weeks ahead, stumble upon a creative work situation – grab it. A co-worker romance might develop. Cautious Sunday: traps exist. Wisdom, gentle love flow Monday/Tuesday. Be ambitious Wednesday/ Thursday – success accompanies you! Your mood’s happier than events, late week.

May 8 - 14, 2011 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You’re riding a minor winning streak, but it’s good practice for the “big wave” that’s coming June 2011 through June 2012. That time will bring “benefits with responsibilities” in romance, creative projects, speculative ventures, pleasure, vacation, and children’s talents. These very things fill May, so enjoy life, relax and pursue love! A relationship gives you friction Sunday. Life’s depths, lust, finances, meet with luck Monday/Tuesday. Gentle love, understanding fill Wednesday/Thursday. You feel ambitious Friday/Saturday, but use a light touch if others react unexpectedly. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The focus lies on home, family, recuperation, nature, garden, soul, stomach, security, real estate, retirement, endings and beginnings. This period isn’t ultra-important at the moment, but it will become the source of your luck from June 2011 to June 2012. So keep your eyes open, your thoughts ticking. Chores might frustrate Sunday: proceed cautiously, especially around power tools. Relationships might be competitive Monday/ Tuesday, but they’re also lucky, even loving, so plunge in! Investments, debt, sex, intimate commitments, lifestyle changes proceed well Wednesday/Thursday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Romance has a few snags Sunday – go slow. Tackle chores or buy machinery,tools Monday/Tuesday.If unemployed,look for work, especially Tuesday afternoon. A whole grabbag of opportunities faces you Wednesday/Thursday. Go forth, seek, be curious, ask. Be diplomatic, too. Relationships surprise, reward. The news might disappoint in financial, health and/or sexual areas Friday/Saturday. Investments made Friday won’t work; those made Saturday might. Generally, this is a light, busy, smooth and satisfying week. Money’s still lucky in an income way, but not for long – act now! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
