Justine Thom toldthe Record According to the NWPD,the woman, who wasinher late 70s,did not receiveany physical injuries in the incident. She has beenincontact with the NWPD’sVictims As sistanceUnit. “Thisisanupsetting incident, and we understand howdeeply concerning this wasfor thevictim, as well as the communityas awhole,”Thomsaid in a news release. “Weencourage residents to be cogni zant of theirhome security,aswell as encourage people to call police if they witness anysuspicious behaviour.”
Paramedic helps deliver baby in parking lot
Aparamedic withthe BC Ambulance Servicehappened to be in the right place at the right time when aCoquitlammom to-be gave birth in RoyalColumbian Hospital’sparking lot. Paramedic Sara Stonewas on her waytoretrieveher wallet from the ambulance so she could buya coffeewhen avehicle came blasting into the parking lot. “I heardsomeone blaring their hornand speeding into the parkinglot. Andthisman rolled down hiswindowand started yelling to get adoctor,”she said. “When he opened thedoor of his car, Iheard his wife screaming,and Iquicklyrealizedwhat wasgoingon.” Stone went into the hospital to get glovesand to informstaffof whatwas going on, and quickly returned to the parking lot. “I arrivedjust in time. Isaw baby’shead starttocrown and come out,”she said. “Then, unfortunately,hedid get stucka bit, whichwas unfortunate. So then Idid my training and my job andIhelped assist the baby out andinto the world.” Once thebaby madehis dramatic entrance, Stone said she helped calm themother and used her training to assist the baby “Once out, herbabyboy sure took his time to cry,”she said. “With stimulation and holding him next to me, eventually he led outsome chirps and then started doing some yoga-looking stretching.” In response to the birth, Royal Columbian Hospital called a CodePink. Soon after theAug. 23 delivery, acrowd of hospitalstaff joinedStone in theparking lot. “Her doctor actually was there, her maternity doctor,and she came down,”she said. “She let me clamp thecord andhold the baby and she cut thecord, and we transportedbaby out ASAP.” Mom and baby were taken to atrauma unit, andStone remained withthemfor another hour. “I love to staywith my patientsand really just make sure they feel safe and caredfor,” she said. “And ImadesurethatI updated heronthe baby. Even though he wasrightbesideher, she couldn’t seehim because there wasbodiesinthe way. She wasanursing student, so Itold herthe vitalsofthe babyand whathis skin colour wasand ev erythinglikethattokeepher up -to-date. And once they gota weight,I told her the weight.” Stone, aPortCoquitlam resident, hasbeen working withBC EmergencyHealth Services for about ayear.This washer first delivery. “It’sdefinitely amemorable experience for us as paramedics because we deal with so much stuff,right?We deal with alot of traumatic things that thepub lic doesn’tneed to knowabout. But it’s averyhonourable experience to be able to do some thing so goodfor the world, to be abletohaveahappy ending,” she said. “Instead of calling a timeofdeath,I called atime of life, whichI thought wasa pretty unique experience.” In the comingweeks, BCEHS will presentStone witha “stork pin”, alongstanding tradition thatoccurs after itsstaff help deliver ababy. “It wasdefinitely themost thrilling and like happy-thrilling, excitingmoment of my med ical career thus far,”she said. “It’sjust areally cool experience to be in the jobthatI’m in,and I’msoproud to bea paramedic We will never get bored with our jobs.” According to BCEHS, dispatchersand paramedicsare emergencymedical profession alswho are trained to provide childbirth directionsand assistance, whether by coaching over thephone or once para medics arriveonscene. BCEHS said itresponds to an average of 1,450 pregnancy and childbirth-related calls each year and out-of-hospital births inambulances and side-of-the-road deliveries are quite common in B.C. Stone said the couple toldher it wastheirsecond child, and they thought they had enough time to make it to RoyalColumbian Hospital.She’s grateful she happened to be in theright placeatthe righttime to help “I did whatany paramedic would have done, giventhe opportunity andthe circumstance, butI’m really grateful that it was me in those shoes and thatIgot to help this family deliverthis baby,” she said. “It wasreally the mom thatdid all the work pushing; Ijust helpedher out. It wassuch acooland honourable thingtobea partof, and I’m so glad thatitendedupwell and they are safe and healthy.”

Patrick Johnstone saidit’stimelyto discussaVision Zero approach to road safety in thecity “The unfortunate reality is thatour roads actuallybecame much less safe during the pandemic times across NorthAmerica,” he said. According to Johnstone, decades of roadsafety improvements have gonebackwards, and death ratesonroads acrossNorth America are as highasthey were inthe 1990s “So Ireallythink it’s important that we include anew focus on safety in our master transportation plan,”hesaid.

PNErevivesjobs foryoungpeople
“Anyone who is ‘known to police’(repeat offender) whoisapprehended breakingthe lawAGAIN, needs to bekept in asecuremental hospital.There is clearly something wrong with them.”
The PNE isatraditional source of manyofthose entry-leveljobs. More than 1,200people under the age of 21 work thereand over thecourseofa17-dayfair can earnafair amount of money Overall, close to 10,000 people get work from the fair annually.Itgenerates about $200million in economic activity annually andbenefits all kinds of communityorganizations and businesses. But it’s not justthe economic impact the PNE bringsthatisimportant. Thereisalso the psychological impact it presents. The resumption of the PNE –just like sporting eventssuch asVancouver Canucks and B.C. Lions games, as well as weddings and other gatherings sends an important signal thatweare gettingsociety back to normal again. The concept of “fun” wasput on hold for much of thepandemic. Now “fun”isroaring back with avengeance, and that’s greatnewsfor people and for the economy. If this column sounds like I’m afan of the PNE, it isbecause Iam. As ateenager,I worked 10 summer fairsonthe PNE midway,and the money and experience Ireceived provedinvaluable.I worked alonghundredsof otheryoung people, many earning enough tocover the post-secondarytuition or to simply coverliving expenses Thework wasexhausting –12-hour days for 17 days –but also lucrative and rewarding (plus Igot to ride the fabledwooden roller coasterliterally hundredsoftimes). We arenot out of the pandemic yetand no one knows when we willbe. Thecoming fall andwin ter is the respiratoryillness season, and whoknows whatlooms with that or anynew COVID-19 vari ants Formany, the PNE symbolizesthe end of summerholidays.It’s been thatsymbol for a staggering 112yearsand one hopes it will continue to do so for along time. Schools will soon re open and the Canucks will soon take to the ice in frontoflarge crowds We are getting back to normal,folks, and so is thePNE. Keith Baldrey is chiefpoliticalreporter forGlobalBC.
The pandemic has been hard on everyone, butit has been especially hard on young people.While notassusceptible to contracting serious illness from COVID-19 as olderpeople, younger people had their social connections suspended for along time. In the first year of the pandemic,they alsofound it hard to findemployment. Our employment levels are muchlower now, and entryjobs aboundeverywhere.
Topic: Chargesrecommended after downtown arrest Close to 10,000 people getwork from the fair annually.
Chargesin thestars fordriver
The pandemic reduced the fair to adrive-thru event in 2021 and vastly reduced operationslast year.This year’sfair, while stillnot at pre-pandemic levels in terms of crowds and venues, is nevertheless bigger than last year’s event.
Hey,what’syour sign? Not being able toanswerthat question wasthe downfall of apickup truck driver at a police roadblock in NewWest.The man hesitated when police asked his name andbirthdate.Anofficer then asked himhis astrological sign.The driver gave the wrong one. He got it wrong againwhenthe officergave him asecond chance.Investigation revealed he had lied about his identity,and wasa prohibited driverwanted bySurreyRCMP.The 31-year-old waschargedwith obstructionand driving while prohibited.
“Peopleliketocomplain alot. Firstly they’ll say there isn’tenough police presence and then there’s too much.The police have aparticularly difficult job supportfor them would be nice.”

NewWestminster’sout door pools will stayopen longerthan usual to continue filling agap left by theclosure of Canada Games Pool. In February, the city an nounced an extended season for theMoody Park and Hume Park outdoor pools.The pools will remainopen until October “I really appreciatethe work that’s been doneto extend theoutdoor swimming,”said MayorJona than Cote. “Obviously,it wasn’t ideal to have the CanadaGames Pool close early and notlineupper fectly with the reopening of thenew Təməsewtxʷ aquatic centre, butIthink thisdefinitely providesa valuable opportunity.” Moody Park Outdoor Pool opened on April 23 and Hume Park Outdoor Pool opened on June 30. Lane swimming, swimming lessons,leisure swimsand Aquafithave been offered at both fa cilities. Cotesaidhis daughter tooktwo sets of swimming lessons at Moody Park in thespring.With less-thanideal weatherinMay and June, he said it wasa bit surreal to seelifeguards wearing winter jackets on the pooldeck. Coun. MaryTrentadue acknowledged all the ex tra work done by staff to extend thehoursatboth outdoorpools “I knowitwas not an easything to do,especially withthe shortagesinlifeguards,”she said.

The workerswere striking in solidarity with other waterfront workersinVancouver, Port Alberni and Powell River.Itwas a months-long dispute that had seen their fellow workersbrutalizedbymounted police armed with ma chine guns andteargas in the famousBattle of Ballantyne Pier In NewWestminster, the sympathy strikers were photographed, fin gerprinted and spent the night in jail.Theirright to strike had been criminalized. Nowthink about that for amoment.The abil ity —the right —ofunion members to strike usually follows astalemate at the bargaining table. It’san emblematic expression of conflict in the workplace, and an effectiveway for workerstocollectively protest theirown exploitation. But strikes do notjust occuratthe whim of disgruntled union leaders. They occur within the bounds of theLabour Code and theterms of the collectiveagreement to which both the union and the employerare party Astrike must also be authorized by the majority ofunionmembersina democratic vote. Forexample, membersofthe BC General Employees’ Union voted morethan 95 per cent in favour of the union’scurrent job action. So strikes arenot taken lightly,and when they happen, youcan betmembers are serious aboutgetting a fair deal —soserious, in fact, thattheyare willing to forego theirwages while they walk thatline The eventsof1935 eventually led to the founding of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and later itsaffiliate, the Retail WholesaleUnion, which gave them voice and unfettered agencyovertheir working lives. Today, the pandemic and the rising cost of ev erything fromfood to fuel is drivinga new worldwide interest in unions as workersseek to improve their wages and working conditions.Evenworkers toiling at corporate behemoths like Starbucks and Amazon are organizing,despite their employers having abottomless barrel of resources to help Goliath slayDavid. Theseworkers, who prepare our morning coffee and pack our discount goodsinsmiley boxes, are unlikely to have aplaque erected in their honour However, their fight is no less remarkable. To all the workersout therewho toil everyday for someone else so that they cansupportthemselves and theirfamilies, we wish youasafeand restfulLabour Day.

Anyone who knows me knows Iloveagood party, and LabourDay is no exception.This year especially,I look forward to the first bigpublic gathering since 2019 to celebrate the important role that workershaveplayedin fighting for—and winning—the workplace rights we allenjoytoday. Labour Dayis an important recognition of workers’ contributions and achievements, away of recognizinghow farwe’ve come.Italwayswill be. But this year feelsdif ferent. Yes, we’vecome along waysince there wasno such thing as the weekend, when people worked 12-hour days and sevendayweeks just to make a basic living,when child labour and unsafe working conditions were rampant, and when immigrants and the very poor were denied such basic workplace rights as accesstofreshair, sanitaryfacilities, and breaks. But as much as we treasure the rights we’vewon, we always liveinthe present with an eyetothe future. And right now, the future looks grimfor far too manyBritish Columbians The present is astruggle, with many British Columbians facing seriousaffordability challenges.This provinceisgrappling with inflationrates not seen in generations.Consumer spending on necessitieslike fuel and food, as well as discretionaryitems, keeps rising as central banks increasethe cost of borrowing. Economic uncertainty is the result of extreme cy cles of thepandemicand recovery,leading to challenging times for many communities. Indigenous, Black and racializedpeople, women, people with disabilities, genderminorities,and people belonging to the 2SLGBTQIA community have disproportionately experienced job and income loss and suffered negativeimpacts to their mental health and wellbeing In timesofrising infla tion, strengthening publicservices isthe bestthing we can do to support our communities.Public sector investment supports the services that citi zens requireinchallenging times, andincreased public spendinghelps support economic growth when the privatesector falters. Moreover, public sector investment has multiplier effects on the privatesector, as jobs are created in the industries thatsupply the necessarymaterials and services forthe initial investment. Everyyear at this time, community leaders come forward with messages of support for working people, for the labourmovement,and our proud historyofprogress and social change.While it’sheartwarming to see so much support from so many cornersofsociety, whatwe’d reallylike to see is acall for action to make life more affordable for workers. Because it’stimes likethese thatdemonstrate whygov ernments need to do more and whyworkersneed more unions: if unions aren’t out there fighting for cost-of living adjustments andbetter working conditions, no onewill. So,this year on Labour Day, let’sall committo making lifemore affordable for the workerswho keep this province running. KarenRanalletta is president of CUPE BC,repre sentingmore than 104,000 workersinBritish Columbia whodeliver public services across awide rangeofsectors.
Call it theinflation feedback loop.Rapidly rising prices for consumer goods invariablyput pressure on employers to hike wages, which adds to the inflation cycle. Thispressure isn’tasintense when unemployment is high, butinatightlabour market, it’sinevitable. And the current labour market is tight as adrum. In July,Canada’sunemployment rate wasjust 4.9 per cent,while B.C.’s was 4.7 per cent. In B.C., for business, financeand administrative positions, the unemploy ment rate is just twoper cent, said Mike Shekhtman, regional director for RobertHalf recruitment agency. “So we’relooking at full employment for manyspe cialized positions,”Shekhtmansaid. “Over thepast 18 months, we sawsuch an acceleration coming out of the pandemic across multiple industries, when we sawunemployment reaching all-time lows.” Accordingtothe Canadian Chamber of Commerce, employers were looking to fill one million job vacancies this summer Theresult is predictable. “Wage pressures are building –theyaccelerated to 5.2 per cent year over year in June, up notably from 3.9 per cent amonth earlier,”the chamber said. “This will only add to broader cost pressures for Canadianbusinesses, and the numberswilllikely keep rising in the context of even higher inflation. This will make things par ticularly tricky for small and medium-sized businesses who arealready facing significant hiring chal lenges.” Canadians are already starting to seelabour strife, as unionsdemand wage increasescommensurate with inflation In mid-August,for ex ample, the BC Govern ment Employees Union (BCGEU) began job ac tion,after rejecting an offer of an 11 per cent pay increase over threeyears, plus a$2,500 bonus per worker.The BCGEU said the PublicService Agency failed to meet union de mands forcost of living provisions to address inflation. Bank of Canada governorTiff Macklem, hoping to tame inflationwith rising bank rates, andfearful of acceleratinginflation, recently urged employers to refrain from hiking wages, to the greatire of unionized labour.

One particularly “hot” space where demand far exceeds supply of workers is digital marketing,Shekhtman said. And despite recent headlines about high-tech companies likeHootsuite laying off employees, programmers, engineers, data analysts and other tech workers are still very much in demand, Shekhtman said. In asurvey, RobertHalf found onlytwo per cent of tech companymanagers planned to eliminate positions thisyear, while 40 per cent said theywould be hiring new employees, and 50 per cent said they’dbe filling vacant positions Recruitersare also seeing moreemployers willing to hire outside their geographic region. “For us, asilver lining of the pandemic is thatcompanies have realized that, for asegment of the market, some positions can be done remotely,” Shekht man said.
