February 15 - April 15, 2016

Publisher’s Note Welcome to the early spring issue of Kerrisdale Insider!

23 and Kerrisdale Business Association is busy planning Kerrisdale Days.

First, we congratulate Pierre’s Antiques for winning Kerrisdale’s Window Decoration Contest in December. Kerrisdale’s beautiful window displays always make Christmas shopping a visual delight.

In this issue we feature Kerfoot Burroughs LLP, a respected law firm, which was established 39 years ago. This is a big year for Kerfoot Burroughs LLP’s as rebranding takes place with the intention of maintaining a foothold in Kerrisdale for many years to come.

Chinese New Year celebrations began in early February to welcome the Year of the Monkey.

Calling all skaters! The Kerrisdale Business Association hosts their annual free spring skate earlier this year on Valentine’s Day. The ice will then be removed for the semi-annual Kerrisdale Antiques Fair on April 9 and 10 followed by the return of Play Palace in Kerrisdale Arena.

While it wasn’t a harsh winter, we are excited to see the signs of spring are all around us.

The days are getting longer. Cherry trees are blooming and flowers are pushing through the soil. Kids are counting down the days until their two-week spring break commencing March 14 and concluding after the Easter long weekend. Soccer players and Kerrisdale Little Leaguers are eagerly anticipating registering for their favourite sports.

The Little League Parade takes place on April

A few months ago I received a call from Sid Harrison, president of Kerrisdale Branch #30 Royal Canadian Legion, asking that I tell the story of this 97 year old Kerrisdale institution.

Were you aware that you do not need to be a veteran to join and take part in the fine community work the Legion does (and you can partake in their social activities too)?

Our cover models are local residents Jason and Chie Breau. They recently moved back to Kerrisdale from Tokyo, Japan.

Whether you are planning a vacation, training for the Sun Run or the Vancouver Marathon, preparing to plant your garden, or just looking forward to longer and warmer days, I wish you a happy spring!

Sylvan Learning returns to Kerrisdale where they first opened their doors November 3, 1986!

Thirty years ago, Sylvan Learning welcomed its first students in Kerrisdale.

Today, Sylvan continues to inspire children to learn, now from a new centre on Yew Street at 41st Avenue.

Barbara Kennedy, Owner/Executive Director of Sylvan Learning centres in Vancouver, says, “It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 30 years since we opened.

At that time, we were the first Sylvan in Western Canada and third in Canada.

Now there are over 75 centres in Canada and over 600 in the States and abroad.”

The centre’s mission is the same as it was in 1986: to help children discover the joy of learning and to become confident and successful learners.

Sylvan recognizes that every child learns differently, creating personal learning plans to help each student succeed. “It’s a proven approach,” Barbara says. “Our business comes a lot from referrals and word-of-mouth; we even have different generations coming to Sylvan!”

As Sylvan celebrates 30 years, it thanks families for the privilege of working with their children. “We love to see our students thrive academically and personally,” says Barbara. “We also want to continue to support and be a part of this wonderful community. We invite schools or organizations seeking support for fundraising events to chat with us about how we might participate.”

“When we first opened, in the Yellow Pages, the number of tutors covered a small part of one page,” Barbara says, having seen the supplemental education industry change exponentially. “Now there are hundreds of private tutors/ agencies, but Sylvan remains a popular choice because of our personal approach to learning.”

Sylvan Learning is the leading North American provider of personal learning for students in Kindergarten to Grade 12.

With its deep experience in education, strong relationships with schools and educators, and robust presence throughout Canada, Sylvan supports families through every stage of the academic journey, helping children to reach their full potential for over 35 years.

Kerfoot Burroughs LLP:

Lawyers For Life’s Events Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier I recently visited Kerfoot Burroughs LLP to learn about this respected law firm, which was established 39 years ago. The firm is located on the third floor of an office building on the corner of Yew Street and West 41st Avenue, offering a lovely bird’s-eye view of Kerrisdale village.

Partner Ian Burroughs and his dog Tanner (an adorable Bernese Mountain dog, Border Collie cross) greeted me with a warm welcome.

In 1977 Barry Kerfoot founded Kerfoot & Company. His primary practice focus is in the areas of business law, wills and estates and real estate. He deals with new and established businesses and all areas of estate planning from first wills to complex trust wills for high asset clients.

In 2011 he merged his firm with Ian 10

Burroughs. When Kerfoot retires he will hand the torch to Burroughs. Burroughs points out this is a great honour as Kerfoot has invested so many years to make this legal practice a great success.

Burroughs is no stranger to Kerrisdale. He attended Southlands Elementary and graduated from Point Grey Secondary. He fondly recalls an annual Point Grey graduating class stunt where messages such as “Grad ‘83” were spelled out with old tires on the roof of Cyclone Taylor Arena.

Subsequently Burroughs obtained a bachelor of arts degree from the University of British Columbia. While entering law had not been his intention, on a whim a friend convinced him to write the LSAT and he did very well. A few years later he graduated with a law degree from the University of Victoria and was called to the Bar in 1993.

February 15 - April 15, 2016 • www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

After a number of years as an associate lawyer followed by time spent as a sole practitioner, Burroughs merged his practice with Kerfoot & Company. A busy time ensued for the new law firm partner as he also got married and a year later had a baby.

Burroughs is happy to have come full circle and be practicing law in the community where he grew up and where his parents still live.

He says Kerrisdale still feels familiar, as there haven’t been too many physical changes to the village. The character stalwart shops remain. He recollects purchasing his first SLR camera from Kerrisdale Cameras, which he can see from an office window. He also acknowledges the good work the Kerrisdale Business Association does for local businesses.

This is a big year for Kerfoot Burroughs LLP’s as rebranding takes place. The new name is effective immediately. Other changes include a new website.

Burroughs’ intention is to have the law firm maintain a foothold in Kerrisdale for many years to come.

Kerfoot Burroughs LLP deals with the

following areas of law: commercial, real estate, strata law, leasing, corporate, wills and estates, estates litigation, divorce and family law, employment law, wrongful dismissal, personal injury and ICBC claims.

For matters that the firm does not handle, such as criminal law, they will happily refer you to another reputable law firm.

Burroughs, Kerfoot and their team of six associate lawyers (Sherry Kooner, Angela Mong, Michael Steven, Mark Szepes, Glen Tedham and Jean Yu), offer their clients a personal touch.

“We are known for the practical and reasonable way we deal with our clients. We might be a small firm but we don’t have small clients.”

Ian Burroughs For example, he deals with plenty of wills and points out a will process can take three to seven hours to complete due to the complexity of this technical area. He does not bill for his full time spent or wills would be out of reach for many people.

The importance of possessing a will is undisputable, however a large number of people do not follow through. Those who do attend to this matter find a huge weight is lifted off their shoulders. Why do people delay? Burroughs says, “Questions get in the way such as who will be the guardian of my children? Who will be the next of kin?

Who will I leave my money to? These are tough and sensitive areas to deal with.”

Contesting a will is a growing area of law with the wealth in this city and high property values. Burroughs says, “Where there’s money, there’s conflict.” Disputes over possessions also can tear a family apart although it does not have to reach this stage. Burroughs explains, “We are solution oriented and get in front of the problems, to map out where things are going and have conversations so these problems don’t arise.”

In addition to Burroughs’ expertise in estate planning and wealth preservation, he has extensive experience in assisting local and family-owned enterprises with the running of their businesses, including the negotiation of commercial agreements, leases, the sale and purchases of businesses, shareholder agreements, and succession planning.

Early in his career Burroughs recalls helping an elderly woman with a small claims action and won the case. He found it extremely satisfying to help her and has never forgotten that feeling. The ability to assist people in their time of need is well worth it.

Kerfoot Burroughs LLP encourages their lawyers to work nine to five workdays, as they want them to enjoy life and not burn out from what can be a high-pressure career. As busy as he is at work, Burroughs attempts to

12

follow his own advice and spend as much time as possible whisking his three children to their assorted extracurricular events, reserving time for date nights with his wife and going for walks with Tanner.

Burroughs concludes, “Barry and the other lawyers at Kerfoot Burroughs LLP provide great personal service to clients. Our clients are much more than a file. We offer them empathy and understanding and celebrate their successes too. We are lawyers for life’s events. We do the hard stuff so our clients can enjoy the good stuff.”

Kerrisdale Branch #30 Royal Canadian Legion: 97 Years of Rich History Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier Early in the new year I met with Jim Howard, three time past president of Kerrisdale Branch #30 of the Royal Canadian Legion, who was representing the Legion on behalf of vacationing president Sid Harrison.

Howard served in the forces from 1964 to 1967. He worked in retail for close to 30 years in Kerrisdale. During this time he became acquainted with Branch #30 which was only one block away (he says it offered an affordable and tasty lunch). He joined the executive in 1983 and has served in various capacities eight times over the decades that he has been associated with the Legion.

What is now Kerrisdale Branch #30 of the Royal Canadian Legion had its beginning at an organizational meeting on October 28, 1919, when seven returned soldiers met to 22

discuss the formation of a Veterans Association. At a later meeting it was decided that forming a Branch of the Great War Veterans Association would best suit their purpose. On April 24, 1920 they received their charter from the Dominion Association of Veterans and they were in business.

Veterans would meet in the Jolly Bachelors Hall in Kerrisdale however, it was felt they could better serve their cause if they had their own building, a place from which they could raise funds and look after the needs of returned soldiers and their families.

An application was made to the Municipality of Point Grey and a 100-foot piece of property was granted to the Legion on West 42nd Avenue. A building fund was started

February 15 - April 15, 2016 • www.KerrisdaleInsider.com

and money was raised in a variety of ways including donations from Point Grey residents. The Ladies Auxiliary also played a vital role in fundraising through socials, whist drives and dances. The building was designed in keeping with the surrounding homes and officially opened on November 11, 1923.

In 1987 Branch #30’s original home was demolished and in its place an apartment tower was built. The Legion relocated to a new building next door where it still operates (above the Kerrisdale Parkade).

At one time Branch #30 had one of the largest memberships in Western Canada with 1,500 members in the early 1980s.

A declining membership is cause for concern and the executive is looking at new ways to bolster their numbers including undertaking a membership drive.

A new website is also in the works.

Advertising on a small scale is taking place to broadcast that the Legion is open to members and their guests. Social media is being utilized to break the stereotype that the Legion is just a place where old fellows sit around swapping war stories. Howard reveals there is much more going on including karaoke which brings younger people in every Saturday night.

Howard points out, “You don’t have to be a veteran to become a member.”

There is definitely a social element as people gather at the Legion to meet old and new friends, shoot pool on the 100-year-old table, play snooker, have a drink, watch sports on the big screen TV, play the jukebox and in the summer enjoy barbeques. In addition, B.C. Lotteries sanctioned Keno, poker, 649; Lotto Max and break open tickers are all available. Howard points out Branch #30 does not draw a rowdy crowd and smoking is not permitted.

An annual golf tournament takes place at Musqueam Golf and Learning Academy with plenty of prizes. Howard says, “Everyone brings something. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure” and prizes range from golf clubs to golf balls.

Meat draws take place every Friday and Saturday night. There are five draws with four prizes in each draw ranging from breakfast packs containing eggs, bacon or sausages. Other prizes include hamburger, steak, pork, ham and turkeys during the

23

holidays. Ninety per cent of the proceeds go towards charitable donations.

The public may also not be aware of the incredible amount of fundraising initiatives Branch #30 (and all of the other local Legions) undertake for the betterment of the community.

“The Legion is here for the community and veterans.”

Jim Howard Examples of beneficiaries from funds raised include Brock Fahrni Pavilion on Oak Street, which is home to 148 residents, many who are armed forces veterans. Another recipient is The Tapestry Foundation, which cares for seniors at hospitals and care homes in the Vancouver area.

who has served while an associate member is a sibling, grandchild or spouse of an ordinary member. Affiliate voting and affiliate nonvoting memberships are also available which opens the doors to those who do not qualify for ordinary or associate membership but are eager to join.

In this war torn world the legacy of the Legion’s good work is as important and valid today as it was when the seven soldiers sat down to discuss forming a Kerrisdale veterans association almost one century ago.

Newcomers are invited to investigate what this great non-profit organization offers.
