NDP LEADER JAGMEET SINGH WINS IN BURNABY SOUTH BY-ELECTION

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has won his place in the House of Commons with a win tonight in the Burnaby South byelection.

Hotel.

Harjit Sajjan, the Liberal MP for Vancouver South an the Minister of National Defence, was at Lee’s event Monday night. Sajjan said he was happy to support Lee, who he described as a “humble, great person” and “I’ve had the opportunity to go door-knocking with him as well,” Sajjan told Postmedia.

Singh addressed his supporters, saying “My friends, it’s a new day. It’s a new day,” and promising to take the issues of Burnaby residents to Ottawa. Singh said many Canadians are falling behind, despite working hard, and they are starting to become fearful for themselves and their children. He said some people will use that fear to “point at your neighbours, the people you live with, the people you work with.”

35 per cent of the vote, with the Liberals taking 33.9 per cent, the Conservatives 27.1 per cent, Greens 2.8 per cent and 1.1 per cent for the Libertarian party.

Singh said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was Lee has 26 per cent of the votes counted so far. trying to protect his “friends at SNC-Lavalin” The right-wing vote appears to be split, with and subsidizing big oil. He said Canadians are Shin so far holding 22.7 per cent of the vote and Thompson with 10.9 per cent. Thompson is the first candidate seeking a seat for former Conversative Maxime Bernier’s newly formed PPC. Singh supporters broke out into spontaneous chants of “Singh, Singh, Singh”, prior to Singh taking the podium at the election night party at the Metrotown Hilton.

drowning in debt, as he attacked corporations, saying the Liberals and Conservatives are not helping Canadians. “Times up,” Singh said. “It doesn’t have to be this way.” Singh has 38.7 per cent of 20,346 votes counted, enough to be declared the winner. There are 76,204 registered voters in the riding. 181 of 196 polls have been counted so far, representing 92 per cent of the vote. Singh was up against Liberal Richard T. Lee, Conservative Jay Shin, independent candidates Terry Grimwood and Valentine Wu, and People’s Party of Canada candidate Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson. In the 2015 federal election, the NDP won with

“His compassion that he has for his community, that’s what really, I think, sets him apart.” The Greens did not run a candidate in this byelection in order to improve the chances of an NDP win. Burnaby South was vacated by former New Democrat MP Kennedy Stewart last October, when he was voted in as Vancouver’s mayor. • In the 2015 election, the New Democrats beat the Liberals in this riding by just over 500 votes. • Lee announced he would be running after Karen Wang stepped down earlier this year after singling out Singh’s ethnicity in an online post. • Tyler Thompson, who ran unsuccessfully for a school trustee position on the Burnaby school board, was the first candidate to seek a seat for Maxime Bernier’s newly formed PPC. She has been vocal against SOGI (sexual orientation and

Vancouver-Kingsway MP Don Davies has earlier taken the mic with an optimistic: “Welcome to the victory party.” Peter Julian, MP for New Westminster-Burnaby, said with voters giving Singh the seat, “they’re saying they want a fighter. They’re saying they want someone who will stand up when the government makes bad choices.” Jenny Kwan, a former and longtime MLA and now MP in Singh’s party, said “it’s a very exciting night. It’s one we’ve been waiting for for a long time. I know that Jag is so looking forward to going to Ottawa. “We need a voice in the House of Commons that is on the side of the people and we haven’t had that with the Liberals and not with the Conservatives.” Postmedia reporter Dan Fumano was with supporters of Liberal candidate Lee at the Delta

Rally to Mark Sexual Exploitation Awareness Week

n Tuesday March 5th, the Abbotsford Community Action Team (ACAT) will host the annual public rally against the sexual exploitation of children and youth. “The rally is an annual reminder that this problem isn’t going away,” said Sheila Lum, the chair of ACAT and youth support worker at Abbotsford Community Services (ACS). “Every week, I work with youth who are being exploited. Sometimes, they’re not even aware they’re being exploited until we teach them what a healthy relationship looks like.” March 4 – 10th is provincially recognized as the Stop the Exploitation of Children and Youth Awareness week. Now in its 21st year, the awareness week recognizes the importance of supporting communities to develop prevention, education, enforcement, and intervention strategies to address the sexual exploitation of children and youth. Sexual exploitation is the exchange of a sexual act for money, drugs, food, shelter, transportation, love, acceptance or any other consideration. According to a report by the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, “victims of sexual exploitation include children and youth of different ages, genders, abilities, sexual orientations, and cultural and economic backgrounds in both rural and urban areas.” The report also shares that the average age when youth are first exploited is 13 to 15 years old. Lum reports seeing even younger clients. “Exploitation doesn’t always come from expected sources in traditional ways. Sometimes girls will recruit their friends in order to keep their exploiters/perpetrators happy and the parents have no idea.” PAGE 6

Parents, teachers and friends are encouraged to be on the lookout for youth who have unexplained money, cell phones, or gifts. They may have bruises, become withdrawn or moody, or be protective about relationships. The rally will commence at 3:30pm with remarks by Lum and Cst. Boonstra with the Abbotsford Police Department. Those who would like to join the rally are invited to meet at Abbotsford Community Services’ office at 32700 George Ferguson Way, Abbotsford, BC. Participants will walk down to Gladwin Road and up to South Fraser Way. The event will conclude with refreshments. Community members can also show their support by wearing fuchsia ribbons. Ribbons are available at the front desk of ACS at 2420 Montrose Avenue while supplies last. The colour fuchsia was chosen because it is a combination of red – representing red-light districts – and purple, which is the provincial colour for violence prevention. Anyone who suspects someone is being sexually exploited is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police. The Youth Resource Centre at ACS can also provide support and resources. For more information on the rally or ACAT, please contact Sheila Lum at the ACS Youth Resource Centre Sheila.Lum@abbotsfordcommunityservices.com or visit www.saferself. ca.

Dr.Hiteshini Jugessur visits Gurdwara Nanak Niwas India Cultural Centre of Canada Gurdwara Nanak Niwas on Richmond’s Highway to Heaven (8600 #5 Road, Richmond) is always in the forefront of promoting healthy living. From time to time well respected resource people are invited to the Gurdwara to share their expertise with the congregation and the management committee. Mrs. Manjit Kaur Johal, an active member of the Gurdwara Management Committee is also a well- respected and prominent advocate and certified instructor of Art of Living. On Thursday, February 21, Manjit invited her friend and a full time international faculty member with the Art of Living Foundation, Dr.Hiteshini Jugessur, to share her expertise with some members of the Gurdwara Management as well as Richmond’s

Fire and Rescue Chief Tim Wilkinson and Richmond RCMP’s Officer-inCharge, Superintendent Will Ng and Inspector Sonny Parmar. Dr. Jugessur specialises in stress and trauma relief programs. She has been delivering these workshops in North America and Africa for 19 years. Gurdwara Nanak Niwas Management Committee considered this as an excellent opportunity to connect Dr. Jugessur with our top Fire and Rescue as well as local police officials so that their staffs could benefit from her expertise. It was a very valuable experience for all of the participants. PAGE 7

Food processing hub brings opportunities to Lower Mainland

ritish Columbia’s food and beverage processors can build their businesses through the first regional food hub. The food hub is located at Commissary Connect’s Laurel Street location, a shared-use processing facility of the B.C. Food Hub Network. “The technology and innovation behind Commissary Connect and B.C.’s Food Hub Network is opening doors for our agricultural industry and British Columbian food and beverage processors,” said Lana Popham, Minister of Agriculture. “Creating a space for the agriculture and food-processing community to develop their food and beverage offerings locally will increase the value of their products and provide more opportunities for British Columbians to get involved in this innovative sector.” To announce the grand opening of the hub, Popham was joined by Sarb Mund, CEO and founder of Commissary Connect and Ned Bell, executive chef at Ocean Wise, as well as local entrepreneurs, farmers and processors at Commissary Connect’s Laurel Street facility. This location will be the regional pilot and demonstration site for the B.C. Food Hub Network. The facility provides 24/7 access to shared processing facilities and equipment, including commercial kitchen space with patent-pending technology. On-site infrastructure for business advisory and product development services for participating food and beverage processors is being developed. The successes and lessons learned from this pilot and demonstration hub, and the technology developed on-site, will help build and connect future regional food hubs in other communities that will create the B.C. Food Hub Network. The Laurel Street facility has just opened its doors to food processors. These processors are contributing

PAGE 14

to the supply of B.C.-processed and value-added foods and beverages and are keeping their production processes local. The site supports both new and current Commissary Connect clients ready to grow their businesses. B.C.’s own Georels (fresh local bone broth specialists) is moving to the Laurel Street facility from another Commissary Connect kitchen in March. The move will enable Georels to take advantage of the facility’s ability to support Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) certification and scaled-up capacity to supply large-scale grocery chains. Juli Rogerson and Matt Thomas, Georels owners, make two different kinds of bone broth, grass-fed beef bone broth and free-run chicken bone broth, using bones from local farmers. From start to finish, the product is 100% local, adding value and contributing to the local economy. The ministry is providing Commissary Connect with $250,000 of funding per year over three years to be the pilot and demonstration regional food hub. Creation of the B.C. Food Hub Network is part of the Ministry of Agriculture’s Feed BC mandate pillar. Feed BC is a key priority for the ministry, which is committed to encouraging more food and beverage processing in the B.C., which supports local economies, job creation and farming families in all regions. The province’s food and beverage processors produce approximately $9 billion worth of value-added products a year, representing 70% of total agrifood revenues.

New board member for Fraser Health

he Government of British Columbia has appointed Harinder (Harry) Singh Sadhra as a board member for Fraser Health. “Harry’s experience in leading teams and his background in finance will help further strengthen the Fraser Health’s work in realizing its mandate to improve public health-care delivery for a diverse patient population,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “Harry’s significant leadership skills and expertise in financial and operational oversight will help ensure a seamless transition for the board.” Sadhra replaces outgoing member John Bethel, who has served on the board for nearly six years. Bethel joined Fraser Health’s board in 2013 and has decided to step down from his role to focus on other commitments, including his work with government.

“I want to thank John for his service to Fraser Health, where he brought years of experience from his time in the Ministry of Health and then the private sector. He has done an excellent job during his tenure on the Fraser Health board. I have valued our relationship since becoming health minister, and look forward to continuing to work together on many projects related to improving health care,” Dix said. Health authority board of directors help ensure that British Columbians receive the best possible care in an efficient, well-managed public healthcare system. Boards are responsible for the governance and management of health services in the province. They work with health-authority leadership to establish the organization’s overall vision and ensure there is appropriate community consultation. Boards also regularly review the organization’s long-term plans, significant issues affecting the organization and evaluate results.

“The creation of teams and increased attachment rates have been developed with the health-care professionals and service agencies at a community level. As a result, this is a plan that is reflective and responsive to the care needs of the people they serve, and it will build and refine over time as recruitment and services ramp up,” said Dix.

Each network will provide a full range of accessible, everyday health services, from maternity to end-of-life care, that will better support patients and providers. These four networks will be the Port Coquitlam PCN, North

Government taking action to keep rates affordable for BC Hydro customers

fter years of rate hikes and billions in deferred costs at BC Hydro piled up by the previous government, the B.C. government is taking action to keep electricity rates affordable for customers by cutting costs and developing new revenue streams at the Crown corporation. These actions come out of an internal review of BC Hydro. They follow news that the previous government pushed through contracts with independent power producers, beginning in the early 2000s, that will cost Hydro customers more than $16 billion over 20 years. In addition, the exponential growth of BC Hydro’s deferred debt shows that the old government continually passed BC Hydro’s financial problems on to future generations.

and BC Hydro customers,” said Michelle Mungall, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. “They ignored the professional advice, they ignored the auditor general, and they ignored the growing debt — and instead chose to make British Columbians pay the price for their choices, today and for decades to come. “Following this review, it’s our government’s job to fix what’s broken, put BC Hydro onto a sustainable path and make sure rates stay as affordable as possible for customers.” Mungall said that as part of making sure BC Hydro works better for customers, the government will be expanding oversight of the Crown corporation by the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC).

“Step one in fixing this problem is “The previous government made to take the politics out of decisions choices that put their own interests around BC Hydro — the problems ahead of what’s best for the province

we’re seeing today are the result of 16 years of political choices by the previous government,” said Mungall. “The best way to keep BC Hydro on the right financial path, while protecting the interests of customers is to enhance BCUC’s independent oversight of the Crown corporation as we move forward.”

“BC Hydro is committed to working with our customers, Indigenous peoples, stakeholders, the BCUC and government as we build on the work of the review to limit rate increases, enhance regulatory oversight and support the Province in its social, economic and environmental priorities,” said Chris O’Riley, president and chief operating officer, BC Hydro.

New St. Paul’s Hospital officially moving forward

mproved access to lifesaving health care is on the way to downtown Vancouver with the approval of the business plan for a new St. Paul’s Hospital. “For over 125 years, people in Vancouver and across British Columbia have benefited from the health care provided by St. Paul’s Hospital,” said Premier John Horgan. “Today, we are safeguarding these life-saving services by taking action to build a brand new St. Paul’s Hospital that will serve more people and offer better access to the specialized care people need.” Doors of the new $1.9-billion St. Paul’s are expected to open in 2026 and will be located at 1002 Station St. “British Columbians have always expressed great confidence, and taken great comfort, in the care delivered by St. Paul’s. After more than a decade and a half of stalling, it is exciting to give the green light to a new, state-of-the-art St. Paul’s Hospital that will continue this legacy for many years to come,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “Our government has made it a priority to see this project move forward, so that St. Paul’s continues to serve people around the province now and in the future.”

People don t look at your acting if you re in glamorous role : Kriti

Kriti Sanon says it took a Bareilly Ki Barfi for people to take note of her talent as she believes there is common perception that if an actor is not glamorous, she will act well. Though she started out with big commercial ventures, her turn as a small town girl in the Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari directorial "drastically changed" the game for Kriti."It's weird but when you are in a de-glamorous role people see your acting more. When you are slightly more dressed up, it takes a while to see beyond the looks and the acting. Especially when they don't already have a perception of you being an actor," Kriti said."Once you break that and they know you are an actor, then doing a glamorous part is ok. Then they say you are showing your range," she added.Kriti said today she has gained the confidence to take risks. "When you don't have someone backing you, you do feel scared to be doing something away from what is expected of a normal heroine. When you step out of the conventional commercial space, you think 'what if it doesn't work.' Today I feel I'm more greedy as an actor." Kriti will be next seen in Luka Chuppi co-starring Kartik Aaryan. The Laxman Utekardirected romcom chronicles the story of a couple living-in together in Mathura and the complications that follow. The actor said filmmakers are approaching her with meatier characters now.

Don t have a problem working in multi-starrers : Riteish Apart from being multi-starrers, there is another common thread which binds films like "Masti", "Housefull", "Malamaal Weekly", "Dhamaal" and "Apna Sapna Money Money" together -- actor Riteish Deshmukh. Having started his career over 16 years ago with the standalone film "Tujhe Meri Kasam", Riteish has mostly featured in multi-starrers. And he has no qualms about it. "Why should I have any problem with that. For me, a good role and a good script matter the most," Riteish said. "First of all when you do a multi-starrer film, one should know what part he/she is doing. If you are happy with it, you should go for it and give 100 per cent to it," he said. The 40-year-old feels people need to change their attitude towards multi-starrers. "It is not easy to make a multistarrer film. The more the actors, more the responsibilties on director. Proper coordination is needed between the actors while shooting. Films like 'Housefull' and 'Dhamaal' can't be made alone (with a single actor). Such films need multiple actors. Such scripts require multiple talent. And honestly speaking, a multi-starrer film reflects the real abilities of an actor. Among several other talented actors, if you are able to impress the audience then that shows your real powers." Riteish said people should now start using "ensemble" cast instead of the word "multi-starrer". "Multi-starrer is not a wrong term, but ensemble cast sounds much better because now each actor plays a unique character and contributes equal part in the film. The concept of multi-starrer films have evolved with the time. It would be better if we all start using ensemble cast than a multi-starrer film," he added.

Being judged is part of being a public figure : Diana Penty Actress Diana Penty says being constantly judged is a part and parcel of being a public figure, and she agrees it can be ruthless sometimes.Asked what she thinks about constant judgment made on a celebrity's style, Diana said. "While I agree that it is a part and parcel of being a public figure, I do think people can be a little ruthless sometimes. It is very easy to sit in the comfort of your home, scroll through your Instagram feed and pass judgments on a celebrity's choice of outfit, hair

and make-up."There are so many factors that contribute to that final look you see in pictures. Like the kind of event it is, whether there's a certain brief the celebrity is expected to stick to, body types, what suits you, what doesn't, what kind of day you've had, and sometimes unforeseen circumstances where you have only a couple of hours to find something to wear."The 33-yearold actress said that given all the craziness, the celebrities still "make it work, so it wouldn't hurt being just a little considerate sometimes".Diana began her

modelling career in 2005. She made her acting debut in 2012 with the romantic-comedy film "Cocktail". She followed it up with films like "Happy Bhag Jayegi" and "Lucknow Central".

Never told anyone that I am granddaughter of Nutan : Pranutan Bahl From giving auditions for several films for two years to being launched by Salman Khan in Notebook, actor Pranutan says she has consciously refrained from introducing herself as granddaughter of legendary actor Nutan or daughter of Mohnish Bahl.The debutante, who will be starting her journey with Notebook, directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Nitin Kakkar and produced by Salman's banner SKF, said the makers chose her for the part after an intense audition process."I did gave lot of auditions for two and half years or so for lot of films. I never used to say I am from a film family. For this film they knew that I was Mohnish's daughter."I gave a five hour long audition for this film. But they called some other girls also as they were like if they take me then it will be like 'I am from film family'. So they auditioned some 80 to 100 girls but Nitin sir (director Nitin Kakkar) felt I was the right choice," Pranutan said while interacting with media at the trailer preview of Notebook. She said she is aware of the expectations and the responsibility that comes along with her family name. "I am very happy that I am making my debut as an actor but I am also nervous as there is responsibility on my shoulders. Not only in terms of the actor she (Nutan) was but her personality was so huge. All this is tough for me," she added.

I don t think actors should have language restriction : Zareen Actress Zareen Khan, who will be seen in a Punjabi film titled Daaka, feels that actors shouldnt limit themselves when it comes to working in films in different languages. Talking about working in various film industries, Zareen said: "Earlier also, I had worked in a Punjabi film. I don't understand why people ask 'You are a Bollywood actor then how are you working in a Punjabi film." "I am an actor. I would like to work in Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi or Bengali films. I don't think any actor should have a language restriction. If I like a film script in whatever language, then I will do that film." Does the film industry put pressure on actors to be fit or look in a certain way? She said: "I don't know about industry pressure but I try to be fit because fitness has become a part of my lifestyle. When I was a plus size teenager, that time I realised that my mother and maternal grandmother had to deal with a lot of diseases because after their marriage and after having kids,

they didn't look after their fitness so, I feel you have to be fit for your well-being." "I think you shouldn't stay fit under any kind of pressure. People should stay fit so that they can stay away from various kinds of diseases."

Venus' departure from your career sector and return to a social and serendipitous part of your chart today is far more significant than just a shift on where your heart is focused. Venus' departure brings you to a point in your professional year where everything is now locked into place, with the focus shifting more to the ongoing journey. The Moon will stay on for another day, keeping your professional instincts and imagination fuelled, while allowing you to read between the lines and join the dots.

The Moon and Venus part ways today, but only temporarily. As Venus leaves an adventurous part of your chart and returns to your career sector, the Moon will stay on in order to keep a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure alive. There was never going to be any danger of this going off the boil, but it keeps a sense of adventure front of mind as Venus not only returns to your career sector but to kick off some exciting weeks across the income, work and career fronts.

While Venus leaves your financial sector today, the Moon will not only stay on but will align with Saturn and Pluto, the planets that will keep the momentum going and who have the power to turn financial desires into reality. Having done her job of fuelling your financial confidence and updating your expectations in this powerful financial year, Venus turns her focus onto more adventurous aspects, just in time for the weekend. From the get-go there is a sense of urgency, realising that this is just a small window of opportunity.

There is almost a need for tunnel vision today, blocking out the myriad other urgent voices vying for your attention and focusing instead on your relationships. There is a transition taking place today, where the focus is shifting away from a point of getting to the heart of what you want from your relationships and onto the point where it becomes more about the journey. While Venus, the planet of love has a special focus on your romantic relationships, this is an important day for all the relationships in your life.

All the focus is on the Moon and Venus over the next 48 hours, as one follows the other out of your work and into your relationship sector. It is Venus who is the first to leave, leaving behind strong resources on the job front and building potential on the career front. The Moon will stay on for another day, connecting to those forces that will stay on in order to turn desires into reality. On the job front, this is a day for listening to and trusting your heart and your gut. In the meantime, Venus' return to your relationship sector is good news for your relationships.

Where Venus goes your heart will follow and today this means quite a shift. As Venus wraps up a 25 day visit to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart, she will take off her planet of love hat, not picking it up again until she returns to your relationship sector later in the month. Instead, Venus dons her planet of money hat, returning to your work sector in order to fuel your job confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction.

As Venus leaves your home and family sector today, her focus is on leaving you with a wish list and a clear sense of what you want, even if for now it feels more like wishful thinking. Venus leaves behind forces that will continue to give home, family and/or property matters the power to move mountains through the coming year and beyond. In the process of turning desires into reality, Venus' job has been to leave you with the desire, while it is the planets staying behind who are charged with making this a reality.

Just four days before Uranus' return to your relationship sector is set to begin a major new seven year journey, Venus leaves your communication sector. However, the planet of love hasn't left you without backup and having spent the last 25 days giving your heart and your relationships a voice the communication lines are in safe hands. So much, so that old communication barriers no longer stand a chance, with a new era of both connecting and relationship focus stretching out in front of you.

This is a day for not only paying attention to all your needs and values but for how you react when those needs aren't being respected. This is about the money, especially when it comes to being paid what you deserve, waking you up to the fact that you have the power to move mountains if you have to, able to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. However, this is also drawing your attention to where your needs are or aren't being met across all the currencies in your life, aware that you can't change what you can't see.

It was 11 days ago that the Sun left Aquarius, wrapping up your birthday month. Yet it is only now that you finally get a chance to look at what you want from the coming year. Venus' return to Aquarius today is not exactly a case of better late than never, for her late return is a real advantage. With the mundane aspects of getting a new solar year off the ground over, this is a chance to give your heart your full attention. The next 25 days offer a chance to update your personal, romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year.

As Venus, the planet of love leaves Capricorn today you are finally ready to embrace your new solar year and the journey ahead, now that your heart has had its say. Venus leaves behind not only the Moon but a host of planets in Capricorn that collectively give you the power to move mountains if you have to, along with some serious support on the romantic and relationship fronts. Venus returned to update your personal, romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year and she leaves with all her bases covered and with every reason for confidence.

Venus is the planet that rules through the heart, so when she moves from one area of your chart to the other, there is often a change in heart or shift in how you want to spend your time. Today that shift is quite extreme, as Venus leaves a social and serendipitous part of your chart and returns to a more nostalgic and reflective part. You are unlikely to want to become a hermit, but there will be a desire to put out the 'do not disturb' sign, spend time daydreaming or to just take a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Halton Police and Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation combine forces to raise close to $700,000 over the holiday season

n 2018, the Halton Regional Police Service’s Toys for Tots campaign and the Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation’s Miracle on Main initiative combined forces with the goal of assisting more families and children during the holiday season than ever before. As a result of this combined effort, nearly $700,000 in toys, cash and gift cards were collected and donated back to the community. In addition, $30,000 was donated to various elementary schools in support of initiatives such as mental health, literacy, inclusive classrooms, coding, art workshops, classroom technology and breakfast programs. Officers, civilians, auxiliary officers and members of the Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation donated their time and effort by collecting, packing and delivering toys to families in need. The

Halton Regional Police Service and Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation look to continue this amazing partnership with the goal of continuing to grow the initiative in years to come. The Halton Regional Police Service and Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation knew that if they were able to work collaboratively towards one common goal, then there was no limit to the positive impact they would have on the community. Tiger Jeet Singh Foundation President Tiger Jeet Singh Jr. stated, “Sickness and poverty do not discriminate; neither should the spirit of giving. This has always been our foundation’s message, therefore as you can appreciate I’m so humbled in forming this amazing alliance with HRPS, because as a tag-team we’ll now be able to share this message with more families than ever before.”

The toys collected were donated to families in need of support within the Region of Halton as well as several community organizations including the local Salvation Army chapters, Halton Women’s Place, SickKids and McMaster Children’s Hospital. Highlights of this year’s campaign included a Region-wide Cram-aCruiser event and the annual Miracle

on Main celebration that took place on December 11, 2018 in Milton. Halton Regional Police Service Chief Stephen Tanner stated, “Halton residents, business partners and community organizations once again showed their generous spirit of giving during the holiday season which had a direct impact on this year’s overall success.”

House hunting hints

You have established your budget. You have been pre-approved for a mortgage. You have contacted a Real Estate Professional to assist you with the purchase of a home. Now the fun, and evaluation begins. You will probably be looking at a few homes before you decide on the perfect one for your family. Before you decide to purchase that home you have absolutely fallen in love with, be sure to be objective in your decision. On appearance alone, the fireplace, the new flooring, paint job and new carpeting create a warm and inviting feeling. Yet, is the home really that perfect? Take a deep breath. Take some time to think about the bigger picture of the home in terms of your needs. Carefully consider whether this home offers the features that will last beyond the first impression. Here are some essential factors to consider: Location is a significant factor in your choice of home. An established community, with a good reputation, a low crime rate and well-maintained homes, maintains home values. A garbage dump, industrious buildings disposing bad odours and major freeways surrounding your neighborhood are unattractive and disruptive to a peaceful lifestyle. Also consider availability and cost of access to public transportation, major roads and highways. Also consider the condition of public areas such as streets, sidewalks, parks and recreational facilities. Public services should also be established including street cleaning, snow removal, garbage collection, and emergency services. You will also want efficient access to medical services including hospitals, doctors and dentists. Be sure that schools and related school services are also within easy access. Recreational, shopping and entertainment needs should also be considered. PAGE R10
