“Walk softly.” That was the only advice from the biological father of Langley’s new school board trustee. Cecelia Reekie, a First Nations woman who was adopted by the Cashore family, eventually reunited with her birth family and flew her dad, Cecil Paul, in from Kitimat for Saturday’s by-election to fill the seat vacated by former board chair Joan Bech. Reekie was surrounded by family and friends Saturday evening when the results came in just before 9 p.m. “It’s very exciting, very humbling,” Reekie said just after hearing she’d won. The advice to walk Chris Reekie was elated at his mom’s victory.

The Langleys are to be one of the fastest-growing areas between now and 2040, according to Metro Vancouver plans.

The Aldergrove land, along with lands in other communities including West Vancouver, has been designated a “special study area.” If a municipal council gets approval to by Matthew Claxton remove land from a special study area in the mclaxton@langleyadvance.com ALR, it will require a 50-per-cent vote from Metro, plus approval from the municipality.

Fox Fernridge as far south as about 24th Avenue, said areas to the north of the downtown near Campbell Valley Regional Park.
Aldergrove and Fort Langley form small pockets of urban density with their own boundaries, as does the tiny wedge of Trinity Western University on Glover Road. Township Mayor Rick Green said the local council will now have to make its views known. “We have to take one more real thorough glance through it,” he said. He believes most of the Township’s goals have been met. A vote will be held soon. Civic leaders are turning to the province for help to deal with the influx, noting that it will take significant infrastructure – in terms of transit, affordable housing and public services – to meet the needs of a booming population, particularly in areas such as Surrey, Coquitlam, and Langley. The fastest growth in the region will not be in Vancouver, but in areas such as Surrey and Langley. Councillor Harold Steves from Richmond was the only director to oppose the plan. Councils have 60 days to ratify the vote, so it will likely be debated in the next month at every one of the member municipalities, from Anmore to Burnaby, Vancouver to New Westminster. TransLink and two neighbouring regional districts will also have to give their support to the plan. “I don’t think it’s going to be unanimous, but I think the majority of the councils will see this as being in the best interest of the region,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.

Birds die in theft
Thieves apparently stepped on and killed more than 100 chicks while stealing metal. by Rochelle Baker Postmedia Network Inc.
Metal thieves trampled more than 100 baby chicks to death during a break in at a farm in Abbotsford Monday. Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald said officers responded to a break and enter at a rural property in the 7300 block of Bradner Road early in the morning. It appears thieves, interested in the poultry operation’s stainless steel and galvanized metal, stomped on 150 young chicks during the robbery. The disregard for the chicks demonstrates the callous nature of crime, said MacDonald. “The most disturbing part was, while thieves attempted to steal the metal, they didn’t care about what they were doing and 150 baby chicks were trampled to death,” he said. “It illustrates the length people will go to steal metal and the disregard for those commonly considered victims, but also the disregard for any collateral damage to livestock.” There has been a historic problem with metal theft, which tends to rise along with market prices, he said. Police are advising those with commercial or agricultural operations to take extra care to secure their properties from metal theft. “We want people to keep properties locked and gates secured, and be mindful of suspicious vehicles or people in the area and to report them to police.” Anyone with information about this crime can call the Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225.
Policing
Missing men located
Local police and citizens helped find two missing men on Saturday and Sunday in Langley. by Matthew Claxton Two missing residents from Metro Vancouver were found safely in Langley on the weekend. On Saturday, a 19-year-old Vancouver man, a high functioning autistic, was located by the Langley RCMP. He hadn’t been seen since 8 a.m. Friday morning, when he rode his bike away from his home on Vancouver’s Kamloops Street. The young man was found safe and sound in the afternoon. On Sunday, it was Surrey Mounties who were looking for a missing man. A 59-year-old man with dementia went missing from a care facility in the 9600 block of 137A Avenue. He was spotted by a resident at 2 a.m. taking refuge in a doorway in Langley. Local officers found him and rescued him. He had apparently walked all the way from the care home, but he is safe.

A seven-hour stand off between Abbotsford police and a distressed man near the Aldergrove border ended peacefully early Monday morning. Const. Ian MacDonald said around 30 police members, including the RCMP explosive disposal unit and the Municipal Integrated Emergency Response Team, were called out. Surrounding residences were evacuated and area gas lines were also shut down, he said. “This incident involved numerous resources, lasted several hours and impacted neighbours,” said MacDonald. “The costs that were incurred will be significant.” Police responded after a woman went to visit an acquaintance around 5 p.m. at his home near the Abbotsford/Aldergrove border and found an ominous note attached to the front door of his basement suite. “The written words don’t mention bomb or explosives, but the text is cryptic and vague… and infers something terrible could happen,” said MacDonald. Police negotiators who made contact with the occupant of the home via phone and text messages were eventually able to confirm there was no explosive device involved in the mix. The 28-year-old man, who surrendered peacefully around 13:30 a.m., may be facing charges of mischief. He has no history with police and there was nothing to suggest such an incident was imminent, said MacDonald. “Based on the long conversation that we had with him yesterday, it seems that he’s has several things in his life that aren’t going his way right now.”

Apologies can heal one wound
Last week, we wrote of the bravery of the 16-year-old girl who was the victim of an apparent gang rape at a rave in Pitt Meadows last September. The young woman has issued a statement thanking both those who supported her and those who spread lies and bullied her in the wake of the incident. Both, she said, had made her a stronger person. The victim was forced to leave school after images and rumours about the attack began circulating. She is now taking most of her classes online. Now we have some hopeful news that perhaps some of those bullies have learned as well. Several students from the victim’s Maple Ridge high school have gone through a restorative justice program after making inappropriate comments online. They have since apologized to the victim, according to a school district spokesperson. Rumours and innuendo have surrounded the victims of sexual assault for centuries. This case has shown how the Internet and social media provide an expanded platform for the rumour mongers. The old saying has it that a lie is halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on. That is now literally true. Images of the attack spread at the speed of light and were accessible to anyone with a computer, anywhere. By contrast, restorative justice forums are face-to-face, stripping away the anonymity and security that people feel when acting through the Internet. At its best, such a program can force young people to rethink their actions and forge goals to live better lives. We hope that has happened, and that the teenagers’ apologies are sincere. The victim of this attack may find herself stronger, but she has been wounded from many sides. Three people, from Langley and Maple Ridge, have been charged in relation to the attack or to spreading images of it. We hope the apologies will begin to heal one of those wounds. – M.C.

Langley Township
Cut wasteful spending to cut taxes Dear Editor, The Township is looking for input on how their tax dollars are spent. Salaries, wages, and benefits are the top expenditure on the Township budget. And while most Langley residents are hoping to maintain their 2010 income or just keep their jobs, Township employees will get a four per cent increase. Salaries for municipal employees are an average 35 per cent higher than in the private sector. We need someone with backbone to negotiate with the unions. Maintaining planted areas has $383,000 allocated in 2011, and $936,000 by 2015. This is just maintenance. Green is good, but if we held the 2011 cost through to 2015, we could save more than a million dollars. The Township should set up a “waste website,” where residents could report wasteful incidents. How many times have you wanted to tell someone that three municipal trucks came to patch a pothole? Or of senior staff meeting time wasted… promises and no action? Or how employee errors cost the Township legal and repair bills, while those same employees continue in their jobs and repeat the mistakes? If we do not accept
increasing costs and tax bills, I believe employees will also come forward to contribute cost-saving ideas. Then there is the cost of running two Langleys. What would we save if City and Township amalgamated? Read the budget on the Township website, tol.ca, under municipal services/ finance/financial reports. If more of us find million-dollar savings, then our taxes
may not need to rise. The website tol.ca/budget (where we are asked to answer a survey and give our opinions) is private and requires a password. Hopefully the Township will unlock the site and listen to our concerns and possible solutions. Sue Leyland, Langley [Note: A fuller version of this letter is online at www. langleyadvance.com.]

Right to be heard ignored
Dear Editor, Langley Township council should be informed that its staff has been ignoring the right of owners of properties adjacent to a development project to address their concerns at a regular council meeting. This does not refer to the public hearing process. Owners of adjacent properties are obviously to provide comments and input prior to first and second readings of the rezoning bylaws, while public hearings are held after the first and second readings. It has been my personal experience since about 1993 that development applications are hardly impacted by whatever is presented during the public hearings. I believe that is why the “initial comment opportunity” is so important. What this means for the Athenry proposal is that, I guess, nothing can happen until the project’s third reading is rescinded. Then the applicant can reapply and perhaps follow the appropriate process. That would be the first time in 13 years, but I believe it is worth fighting for. Too much inappropriate development has occurred in the Township to let the opportunity go by to set things straight. Jacob A. de Raadt, Langley [Note: A fuller version of this letter is online at www.langleyadvance.com.]

Weddings need to be encouraged Dear Editor, Weddings are good business and sustain numerous local businesses. Tell the bylaw officer to stop harassing farmers who are helping brides fulfill their dreams. There are 500 weddings a year in Langley. At an average of 150 guests, that’s 75,000 visitors a year to Langley. Each wedding puts $100,000 in the economy. That’s $50 million per year. Langley is 80 per cent rural, and that rural land is an attractive setting for weddings, for many brides. If a bride wants to come down the aisle on horseback, she needs a

rural setting. All brides need is a patch of grass, and they will turn it into a magical setting. Weddings put $3 billion into the provincial economy every year, year after year. That’s more money than the Olympics, every year. Weddings cost Langley Township nothing. They cost the province nothing (no security costs or new infrastructure). With many people living in compact housing (apartments, etc.) a day in the country is a dream come true. Encourage weddings in Langley. For instance, the Township could pay for the cost of the wedding licence, if the wedding is held in the Township. That cost is $100, but the payoff is $100,000 in the local economy. I think the number of weddings in Langley could be doubled to 1,000 per year, for $100 million in the local economy. Wally Martin, Murrayville

Overpasses’ open house pushed back An open house on unpopular road projects is in February. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Langley City’s public open house about the road and overpass projects around 196th and 192nd Streets won’t be until next month. The project that involves three overpasses on the Langley/Surrey border is part of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor combo project which involves a total of nine significant projects in the Fraser Valley.
After a strong negative response from residents at two open houses in mid-December, Langley City announced it would host an open house to provide more information to residents. Initially the events was to be in January but according to City administrator Francis Cheung, it has now been pushed back to early February. The planning for the local projects calls for construction to start summer 2011 and completion by 2014. The City of Surrey is overseeing the construction of the projects on the Langley/Surrey border on behalf of the partners: Transport

Planning for the next 30 years of bicycle riding in Langley Township begins this month.
Whether it’s to get from place to place, to keep healthy, or just for fun, cycling is becoming increasingly popular, and the Township of Langley is facilitating residents’ opportunities to ride. The community’s Bike Plan is being updated and a Cycling Network proposed, and those who cycle Langley’s streets and paths are encouraged have a say about what they need and what they’d like to see. A cycling network open house will be held on Thursday, Jan. 27, at the Township’s civic facility, 20338 65th Ave. Residents can drop in 5-8 p.m. to view information boards that will be posted in the fourth-floor foyer, and to fill out a questionnaire regarding the proposed cycling plan. A discussion guide will help identify where the network of cycling routes should be placed, and examine aspects of the Bike Plan, including engineering, financial planning, education, and promotion. “We want as much input as we can get,” said transportation safety coordinator Ineke Schuurman. “The bike network will be Township-wide, and we want people from all areas to come out and tell us if there is anything they want added or if they think something won’t work.” The cycling network will include routes new developments within the community and will include commuter routes that provide direct links between major destinations, recreational routes that connect neighbourhoods on lower volume roads, and community routes that bring cyclists to parks, schools, shopping centres, and recreational facilities along quieter streets. The plan is an attempt to set out cycling route priorities for the next 30 years. Many of the routes are to be built as areas develop, but others will have to be built into already built neighbourhoods and along already busy roads.

Trinity Western University
Children’s voices unite A message about the critical AIDS pandemic in Africa is being brought to Langley this week, through song. The Watoto Children’s Choir is performing its Concert of Hope at Trinity Western University on Thursday morning. The event is open to the public. Watoto means “the children” in Swahili, and these children are on a mission that will take them on a journey from the West to the East Coast of Canada this year. The choir is performing several shows around the Lower Mainland this week. Concerts of Hope is a free, family-friendly event featuring African rhythms and harmonies, which are accented by brilliant costumes and inspirational stories from the children of Watoto Children’s Villages in Uganda, East Africa, explained tour coordinator Keri Greenidge. People are often moved by the music and captivated by the energy of these talented Ugandan children, she said. Watoto was established in 1994 as a compassionate response to the critical
AIDS crisis in Uganda. Today, Watoto is impacting the lives of more than 2,000 children who have been orphaned and abandoned as a result of the AIDS epidemic, civil strife, extreme poverty, or other catastrophic events, by providing for their physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs. It’s also initiated a new Living Hope program that has transformed the lives of an estimated 1,200 vulnerable women in Kampala, and 900 women in war-torn Gulu, North Uganda. The target group is HIV-positive single women, returnees from abduction by the Lord’s Resistance Army, and teenage mothers. The goal of Watoto is to give these children hope, purpose, dignity and meaning, Greenidge explained. While the concert is free, information about child sponsorship, as well as Watoto fair trade items made by women in the Living Hope program are available at the concert. The Langley concert is being held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 20, at the TWU campus, 7600 Glover Rd. in the gym. For more about the choir, or the tour dates, or the efforts, visit www.watoto. com.

The Fraser Valley Regional Library is promoting literacy by giving children the opportunity to reduce their library fines. Until Feb. 28, children in any FVRL library can reduce their existing fines $1 each day, to a maximum of $55, by picking up a reading record sheet. “The 2011 Read Away Fines program for children is a celebration of FVRL’s elimination of overdue fines on children’s material borrowed on children’s cards,” Rita Penco, an FVRL spokeswoman, said in a statement. “Reading is an essential skill for every child. Children now have free access to library materials without worrying about the threat of overdue fines.” The new program is aimed only at children, because the FVRL was concerned library fines could be a financial barrier

Ali and Simon Moore didn’t expect that their Christmas of 2010 would involve cholera. But when Simon, a firstyear resident at Nanaimo General Hospital, suggested he and Ali spend Christmas in Haiti, that was one of the realities the two would face. It’s been a year since Haiti was devastated by an earthquake, and people still face health crises. The Moores, both graduates from Langley’s Trinity Western University, heard about the Samaritan’s Purse charity and its need for medical staff for Haiti. “Simon said, ‘Let’s think of reasons why we can go, instead of reasons why we can’t,’” said Ali, who had just finished her first semester in a public health masters degree program. The couple spent a few days getting over the hurdles of travelling to an impoverished nation. Simon arranged for time off from the hospital, as he would miss his mandatory surgical rotation.

Simon and Ali Moore spent their holidays in the Samaritan’s Purse Cite Soleil cholera clinic. The couple also made a last-minute sprint to Victoria for an emergency passport, though Simon’s application was already in the works. The office declined their request, but one day before they were to leave, a passport showed up in the mail. After three connecting flights, the Moores landed in Haiti, and found a devastated people. “Cholera is a vile illness to watch,” Ali said. “It kills its victims by sucking the fluid and nourishment out of their bodies in the most wretched ways – profuse vomiting and diarrhea.” With infrastructure damaged and not yet repaired,

Haiti was a breeding ground for disease. Cholera is most often spread through the ingestion of contaminated food or drinking water. Water may be contaminated by the feces of an infected person or by untreated sewage. “It is a simple disease, with a simple treatment plan and for those who are afflicted and seen in appropriate time it was like watching someone come back to life,” she said. As health care professionals in North America, Ali and Simon were used to seeing patients in pain and suffering. In Haiti, they encountered another side of human misery. “When you are faced with constant suffering you have to contemplate what is wrong with a world that is so inequitable and unjust, where even basic sanitation and hygiene are not available,” she said. “These are fundamental human needs, and I believe, rights.” Back at school and work, the Moores encourage ongoing awareness of the situation in Haiti. “Our own laziness allows our minds to slip away from the reality of famine, poverty, genderbased violence, child prostitution, disease, and death that is everyday life for so many around the globe,” said Ali. The Moores aren’t the only ones connected with TWU who plan to help in Haiti. In June 2011, Justin Baerg, a pre-med senior and member of the student association, along with his sister Janelle, a nurse, will lead a team of nursing and pre-med students to Haiti. The team will spend one month partnering with Heart2Heart Haiti working in community health education and assisting a team of doctors and nurses with primary care. To learn more about their trip and help them with their current fundraising goal of $2,500, contact Justin.baerg@mytwu.ca. Each year TWU has Missions Week. It falls Jan. 24-27 this year.

Fifty Years Ago
• The Rump and Sendall Hatchery received two new 50,000-egg incubators. • Owners of Langley Electric Bakery decided not to rebuild after the devastating fire in December.

Reading Problems?
SIGN UP TODAY!
We have the solution.
Twenty percent of children cannot learn to read and write by the methods used in most B.C. schools. Their reading problems are caused by phonological processing deficits that can only be trained with special technologies. One to two years in reading skills are gained in 8-12 weeks. As seen on The Nature of Things, Scientific Learning’s Fast ForWord programs train phonological processing so the child can process the sounds within words and learn to read.

Junior lacrosse
Jr. Thunder recruit young talent north of the Fraser
Ridge Meadows minor lacrosse has become a feeder system for the Langley Jr. Thunder. by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com
The Golden Ears Bridge has become an instant connection from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to Langley, which is good news for the Langley Jr. Thunder’s recruiting efforts. Thursday at the Langley Events Centre, the third-year B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League franchise signed three players from Ridge Meadows: James Baker, Sam Weselowski, and Lyndon Knuttila. They join fellow Ridge Meadows product Reegan Comeault, who was an impact player in 2010, his first full-season with the Jr. Thunder after making six apperances with the squad in 2009. Comeault, the first pick overall at the ’09 midget free-agent lacrosse draft, recorded a teamleading 33 goals (including 17 on the powerplay) and 73 points in just 20 games.
Comeault is looking forward to the 2011 campaign. “We are pretty young so we are looking to improve this year and turn out better,” he said. “We’ve still got three more years together with pretty much the same core group.” Comeault had no hesitation to join the Jr. Thunder after being selected at the top of the draft table two years ago. “I talked to the management and they were really good to me throughout the process,” he said. “I got an opportunity to play junior last year when if I went to a lot of other places I wouldn’t have, so I think it helped me on a personal level.” Jr. Thunder general manager, co-governor, and vice president of lacrosse operations Brock Rose said players of Comeault’s ilk possess the character necessary to be difference-makers. “They don’t want a participation pin, they want to change a franchise,” Rose said. “I’m looking for that attitude where ‘I want to get this done.’” With the midget draft being nixed this year, the Jr. Thunder took a proactive approach and signed the trio of Ridge Meadows players, which is no coincidence, Rose explained.
Troy Landreville/Langley Advance
The Langley Jr. Thunder’s Ridge Meadows connection includes, foreground to back, Reegan Comeault, Sam Weselowski, James Baker, and Lyndon Knuttila. “They [Ridge Meadows] are developing good ball players – plain and simple,” Rose said. “They’re in the Valley, the proximity is close with the bridge and the events centre and everything else… it’s a perfect storm.” If there was a draft, Baker was going to be taken first overall by
the Jr. Thunder anyway, Rose noted. Baker said the Jr. Thunder are going to be a “good team and get better as the years go on.” Weselowski said he is excited about joining the Jr. Thunder. As for what he’ll bring to the team next year, he said, “I’ll try
to be as well-rounded as possible but above all else, try to be a tough defensive transition player.” Knuttila said having fellow Ridge Meadows players on the team will ease his transition to junior lacrosse. “I know all of them already and I know their playing styles,” he said. The Jr. Thunder finished at the bottom of the eight-team junior A league with a 2-19 record last season. Despite the Thunder’s abysmal record, Rose said there were bright spots. “I don’t think we had struggles,” he said. “If you look at our team, we had the second-best powerplay in the league and if you look at our powerplay guys, they were all still not junior-age players. They have four more years of junior left, including last year.” Rose noted the team’s goaltending was “just average,” the main reason why six netminders are expected to show up at training camp. “While I don’t want to put the emphasis on one player, or one position, it was pretty evident where we needed to identify our weaknesses,” he said.

Interior-leading Vees double trouble for Chiefs
Penticton downed Langley twice over the weekend. by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com
The Penticton Vees showed the Langley Chiefs why they lead the British Columbia Hockey League’s
Interior Conference, and are the second best team in the league behind the Coastal Conference-leading Powell River Kings. Heading into the weekend’s home-and-home series, the Vees expected a dogfight. “We know they’ve [the Chiefs] got a good group up front; there’s a handful of guys that can hurt you

offensively,” Vees coach Fred Harbinson said, prior to the start of the weekend. “And [netminder Wyatt] Galley’s been hot lately. “It’s a team that likes to play physically and we’re going to have to match that.” By the time Sunday morning rolled around, the Vees were relishing a sweep of the Langley juniors after beating them 6-4 Friday at Penticton’s South Okanagan Events Centre, and 6-5 in overtime
Saturday in front of 2,002 fans at the Langley Events Centre. Vees 6, Chiefs 4 A Vees’ powerplay that had a 35 per cent success rate over its previous 12 games went 2-4 Friday, as the Vees won by a pair of goals. Penticton led 3-2 after the first period and scored the only marker of the middle frame to take a 4-2 advantage after 40 minutes. Chiefs’ captain Trevor Gerling scored, unassisted,
3:06 into the third period to bring his team to within a goal at 4-3. The Vees responded with a goal 57 seconds later, then added another with just under eight minutes remaining to take a commanding 6-3 lead. Langley’s Darnell Dyck rounded out the scoring on a Chiefs’ powerplay with 5:36 to play in regulation time. The Chiefs’ Josh Hansen opened the scoring 2:36 into the game. continued on page A21…
Chiefs winger Darnell Dyck recorded a goal and three assists in two games versus Penticton. The Chiefs took one out of a possible four points from the series.

Chiefs host Clippers Thursday
Kody Dhaliwal also scored in the opening frame for the Chiefs, finding the net with 49 seconds remaining in the period. Penticton stole momentum in a big way when Joey Holka scored 40 seconds after Dhaliwal’s goal, and with just nine seconds to play in the opening period. Penticton outshot Langley 40-30. Vees 6, Chiefs 5 (overtime) Down by two midway through the game, the Vees rallied to earn their 30th win of the season. Penticton trailed 5-4 after 40 minutes before scoring the tying goal in the third period, followed by the overtime winner. Garrett Milan’s overtime goal gave the Vees the victory while Mark MacMillan and Brendan O’Donnell paced the visitors offensively with four points apiece. The Chiefs’ offence was spread out with goals coming from five different sources: Kit Sitterley, Brad McBride, Mike Tebbutt (on a powerplay), defenceman Dillon Scholten, and Josh Myers, who padded his team lead in the goals department with his 30th of the campaign. Dyck assisted on three of the Chiefs’ goals to complete a four-point weekend. Chiefs associate coach Barry Wolff said his team, which is still missing its top scorer Matt Ius with an arm injury,
played well Saturday. “It was a good game, back and forth, and the guys played well,” Wolff said. “They [the Vees] are definitely one of the top teams in the league.” An area of concern is the Chiefs’ team defence, which allowed 12 goals in two games. A 6.00 goals against average per outing won’t take you far in the playoffs, a fact Wolff is well aware of. “Defensively, we’ve been hot and cold all year, and it’s a big part of our game we need to improve on,” Wolff said. On a positive note, sending Saturday’s game into overtime means the Chiefs, with a 25-16-1-7 record, earned a single point in the standings. The valuable point keeps them in second spot in the Coastal, a point up on the Surrey Eagles. The Eagles have four games at hand on the Chiefs. Powell River (33-6-3-2) has a comfortable 13-point lead on the Chiefs with five games at hand. On Thursday, the Chiefs host the Nanaimo Clippers at the LEC at 7 p.m. They return to the LEC ice Saturday to take on the Westside Warriors, also with a 7 p.m. faceoff. The Chiefs wrap up the weekend with a Sunday matinee (4 p.m.) game in Surrey.

How will we work in 2040?

Advertising Feature
Technology, immigration to shape future workforce The year is 2040. Generation X is nearing or in retirement, while gen Y has risen to the senior ranks of corporations across North America and perhaps gen Z will be following in their footsteps in a very different world of work, as yet another generation enters the workforce.
Facebook and Twitter will likely be relics of the past, replaced by other generations of social media -- something Walker sees as one of the defining ways that employees communicate in the workforce of 2040.
She took part in a competition of university students from across Canada last week called Virtual or remote work will become an accepted Focus2040 where she and other students conducted norm, office spaces will shrink and be developed a lot of research and just as in regional hubs and the much introspective thought face of the workforce will be about what the future will “The accuracy wasn’t comprised of a network of like and why it matters individuals that spans the important. It was more startling look now. globe.
Technology and communications will drastically evolve and alter how work is performed, if Jillian Walker’s vision of the future comes true.
to think about trends in society and ultimately the impact they would have.”
“Virtual working and remote working is going to be huge,” says 25-year-old Walker, a bachelor of management in human resources student at the University of Lethbridge in Calgary. “The technology will automatically be awesome by the time we get to 2040, so we just have to think about how we adapt.”
“What I learned was the impact I have on other people. I had no idea I was able to recruit 200 people into a (Facebook) group in a week,” says Walker. “I’m not an HR expert. I just talked about the influence I have and the fact people . . . are inspired by the future.”
The founder of the competition, Ezra Rosen, conspired with his colleagues at the Strategic Capability Network (SCN) to create a venue for budding HR students to think long term about how to plan now for the future workforce.

“We needed to do something to make HR attractive to the brightest students in business school. The kinds of challenges most organizations are facing going into the future will align themselves with the types of people they have, so HR has become -- and will continue to become -- more important to the management of large organizations,” he says. When Rosen was in university during the 1960s, taking his MBA at UCLA, a professor assigned a project that made them predict what the world of management would look like in 1997. OK, some predictions panned out and others didn’t, but that’s not the point. “The accuracy wasn’t important,” says Rosen. “It was more startling to think about trends in society and ultimately the impact they would have, which really caused us to start thinking big picture. “Businesses tend to focus on the next quarter because of the pressures of the business analysts and investment community,” he says. “You need to be thinking long term.” By the time 2040 arrives, Walker will be 55 years old and imagines sustainability being a key theme throughout every facet of work, including how and where it’s done.

Gender equity will be a given, she says, and the workforce will naturally be a more flexible and yet interconnected web of smaller, more nimble organizations. “I don’t think we’re all going to be virtual in 30 years . . . but I don’t think it’s necessary to go into work,” says Walker. She juggled working and going to university full time and still volunteered for a variety of causes and organizations. Social responsibility will become a more critical factor in how employees decide what types of employers to pursue. “Immigration is going to skyrocket,” she says, pointing to forecasts by Statistics Canada that show the entire growth of the workforce in Canada will come from immigration in little more than a decade. Then again, with such a mobile, global workforce, borders will continue to be smaller barriers to employment. Companies will be forced to hunt the world for talent in the wake of a labour shortage following the Baby Boomers. Three internships were up for grabs at the competition, including one in Paris. Although Walker didn’t take top prize, she did receive funding to attend the next World Congress in November in Osaka, Japan. “Our goal was to educate and that’s what we did,” says Walker. “Our job’s done.” Editorial provided by Postmedia

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
