Open-air museum for New West?

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

An outdoor art exhibition that features world-class international sculptures and performances could be coming to New Westminster.

New Westminster city council has directed staff, in consultation with the city’s public art advisory committee, to explore the benefits and implications of the city’s involvement in the 2013 to 2015 Vancouver Biennale. Barrie Mowatt, founder and president of the Vancouver Biennale, and Miriam Blume, a board member of the Vancouver Biennale, recently spoke to city council about the potential for the event to uniquely build destinations and community in host communities.

Mowatt said the Biennale is basically an open-air museum. Blume said the organizers’ focus is not only to attract great contemporary artists, but also breakthrough artists who are about to come on to the world stage.

“There are no tickets, there are no lineups, there are no admissions,” she said.

“We place art in unexpected places. We are creating cultural experiences where people

Time-honoured tradition: It was loud and, as usual, the crowd loved it. Under clear skies on Monday, May 20, the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery fired the anvil after presentations and entertainment in Queen’s Park Stadium at 11:15 a.m. and the 21-gun salute at noon. The anvil salute tradition has been carried out every Victoria Day since 1870. For a photo gallery, go to www.royalcityrecord.com.

City unveils new ’boro community centre

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The newly expanded Queensborough Community Centre is open for business.

The centre opened its doors to the public at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, May 21. The community centre, which is the City of New Westminster’s first neighbourhood hub, includes a library branch, police work spaces, multi-purpose rooms, an expanded fitness centre, a licensed childcare centre for children three to five years of age, a community kitchen and a living room with fireplace.

“The centre will provide opportunities

for social interaction, strengthen neighbourly relationships, and be a safe place and second home for individuals of all ages,” said Renée Chadwick, manager of Queensborough Community Centre.

“Our operating philosophy is to work together with the community and other organizations to bring new services to Queensborough that support healthy living.”

The $7.67 million expansion project received $6.2 million in funding from the development assistant compensation agreement between the City of New Westminster, Province of B.C., B.C. Lottery Corporation and Gateway Casinos, and

the city provided additional funds toward the project. In addition to the expansion, the project included upgrades to the existing building that was built in 1978.

“The new Queensborough Community Centre reinforces the City of New Westminster’s commitment to creating a sustainable community,” said Mayor Wayne Wright. “It will be a tremendous asset to the city and we hope that all residents take advantage of the many programs and services being offered there.”

The Queensborough Community Centre will offer a place where residents can pay their property taxes, utility and electrical bills, parking tickets and buy dog

Students read to pensioners

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Sapperton pensioners are reaching out to some younger folks in the community.

Twenty-two students in Stella Horbal’s Grade 1-2 class at Richard McBride Elementary School recently visited seniors at the Sapperton Pensioners Hall to read stories.

Vic Leach, a supporter of the Sapperton Pensioners’ Association, said each student read their story to one or two seniors for a few minutes and then they discussed the story or answered the seniors’ questions. Every eight or nine minutes, students would go to another chair and read their story to different seniors.

“The students read their story to at least three different groups of seniors. The seniors, who ranged in age from early 70’s to 90-plus, were amazed at how well the children read and answered questions and loved to hear them speak,” Leach wrote in an email to The Record. “Ms. Horbal said that the students had been excited for the past week in anticipation of this event.”

Another group of students from the school will visit the hall in June to read to seniors.

This wasn’t the first time the pensioners met with students from the local school. In April, more than 80 students dropped by to sing several songs for the seniors before their monthly meeting.

Excessive parent requests curbed by board Parent requests on behalf of parent councils must be endorsed by a vote

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The board of education unanimously passed a motion to curtail the relentless number of requests New Westminster school district senior administrators get on an “almost-daily basis” from parents on the district parent advisory council.

The board recently passed a motion that if a parent makes a request on behalf of their school’s parent council, they have to have the endorsement of their parent council by a vote before senior administrators will respond to the request.

“People individually have rights, always, to contact the school board and to ask for information – all we are saying is if the PACs and the DPACs want information, it should be coordinated by a motion of the PAC,” trustee Casey Cook said. “We start getting staff spending huge amounts of time for requests from members of individual PACS or DPACs; it’s simply not cost-effective management.”

The district is dealing with a significant budget crunch and staffing cutbacks this year.

“We have gone from six senior staff to

five senior staff. We are looking at a very significant challenge in terms of our deficit,” Cook said. “We get various requests – sometimes there are two or three requests coming in from the same, but different aspects of the same, issue.”

Board chair Michael Ewen agreed, saying, “The motion was around DPAC and PACs communicating with our senior admin, and the question was when are people acting on behalf of DPAC and when are people acting on behalf of themselves, and there seems to be some blurring of the lines.”

Neither Ewen or Cook would say who the individuals are, however district parent council members Paul Johansen and Wendy Harris have been active critics of the school district at board meetings and in the press.

“Our staff is getting almost-daily contact from DPAC requesting information, requesting items … some of it’s informational, some of its advocacy around issues,” Ewen said. “I’m still not clear whether the advocacy is their own individual initiative.”

Johansen, who has been a school district critic for several years, regularly calls the district, Ewen said.

“We need to know who he’s representing,” he said. “If he is going to advocate on behalf of somebody, is that a legitimate advocacy, which includes the individuals

involved, or is it they have a personnel issue that they would like to deal with and see this as an opportunity to do that.”

Recently, Johansen, along with his fellow F. W. Howay parents, have started a petition to stop the transfer of their principal, who is slated to move to Lord Kelvin Elementary in August.

Harris, the district parent council chair, is concerned about the impact the motion will have on parents’ ability and right to access information about public education.

“My reaction is that I’m very sad and frustrated. DPAC, we have been called in the press, that we’re negative, antagonistic, that we don’t want to participate, etc., that we are political … and now it appears we’ve asked too many questions in the past month,” she said.

Harris has been asking for information about Section 177 of the School Act, a law that allow principals to bar parents from schools.

“I asked for policy and procedures on Section 177, because a parent has been served a Section 177 in the district, and I wanted to find out information in our own district what are polices and procedures in the district – in order to take that information to the DPAC meeting.”

Harris questioned how she could explain policies to the district parent council members when she isn’t informed.

“I asked for a meeting in order to talk about emergency planning, some strategies to increase parent engagement and about principal transfers … and the meetings were denied,” she said.

Under the new policy, Harris would have to have the endorsement of her parent council to make the request for information on its behalf.

“Parents are the largest education partners in the district,” said Harris, who is also on the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils board of directors.

Johansen was also upset with the board’s motion to curtail requests from parents.

“I think that a (trustee who has served 30 years) has created a lot of problems in our district with lay-offs and finances, and it’s putting kids in harm’s way,” Johansen said, referring to Ewen, who’s been a school trustee in the city for more than 30 years. “We’re fielding questions from our members, and, in our capacity, we relay those questions to the board.”

Johansen said he understands the district is down in staff, but there are real concerns for education and requests are coming from a number of parents.

“It’s overwhelming them, but they created this mess, and parents need answers,” Johansen said. www.twitter.com/nikimhope

live.”

The concept of the Vancouver Biennale is to provide great art where people live, work, play and transit.

“The community has really embraced the Biennale,” Blume said.

Blume believes the Biennale provides a very unique ability in serving as an access point for “social bridging,” noting a whole generation of young people is growing up in a sort of self-cocooning, narcissist way because of technology.

“You see everything and everybody.

They are talking, they are smiling, they are asking questions. They are tweeting. They are drawing,” she said about people’s actions around the sculptures. “They are engaging as a community.”

Blume said the Biennale is a “differentiator” that gives people a reason to come to New Westminster.

Those visits are assisted by the marketing “machine” that’s part of the Biennale.

After falling in love with sculptures in their own communities, Blume said they often go to other communities to view their sculptures. Along the way, they may stop for lunch, gas and shopping.

Mowatt said the Biennale organizers see some real potential in New Westminster, especially with its five SkyTrain stations.

“The old downtown core is exciting for us,” he said. “We see some real potential there.”

Coun. Jaimie McEvoy believes the Biennale is a great way to further enhance the image of New Westminster as a modern, rising and hip place to be.

“Forget Yaletown, forget Steveston – they’ve got nothing on us,” he said.

Coun. Bill Harper said interest in public art is skyrocketing in the Lower Mainland.

“I think it’s a good program,” Harper said. “For us, it’s just a question of how we are going to mesh, how we are doing to deal with it around the table in terms of all the nuts and bolts.”

Coun. Jonathan Cote said he’s seen

many of the sculptures featured in past Biennale events, which speaks to organizers’ goal of placing them in places where people can experience them. He believes it fills a void in terms of how people engage in arts and culture.

“I think this is a really interesting program,” he said.

Coun. Betty McIntosh questioned whether a city’s existing public art is featured in the Biennale. She noted that New Westminster has mosaic tiles in various neighbourhoods and art features at Westminster Pier Park.

As part of the last Tour De Biennale, organizers developed a map that featured shorter routes, which included existing public art installations in the vicinity of sculptures included in the Biennale.

An interactive map on the website, appropriate for tablet and cellphone screens, will be able to map and distinguish Biennale and city owned artworks.

“We spend a lot of time working with the city on locations,” Blume said. “We want locations to make sense in terms of cycling tours, in terms of walking tours, in terms of transit. Otherwise it doesn’t work.”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he could support the concept if the financial contribution falls within what the city has already allocated toward public art and doesn’t cost any additional money.

While he supports the arts, Puchmayr said the city has to be “very prudent” with its expenditures.

Greg Magirescu, the city’s manager of arts and cultural development, said staff’s intention is that the project would be covered within the city’s existing public art fund.

Magirescu said the public art advisory committee has been exploring the issue.

The presentation was designed to familiarize council with the project that’s being considered for New Westminster.

Now going into its third event, the Biennale is an outdoor art exhibition that takes place every two years.

Centre: Family-friendly opening ◗ continued from page 1

A “centre warming” will be held on Saturday, July 6 from noon to 4 p.m. to officially open the new Queensborough Community Centre. This free family event will include a sampling of programs and services, displays and information opportunities from a variety of service providers, police and fire services demonstrations, children’s crafts in the library, entertainment and food available for purchase.

It will also include a ribbon cutting ceremony and the unveiling of the new rain garden feature.

Originally constructed in 1978, the new community centre is the city’s first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) Gold facility. The project involved a 13,500 square foot addition onto the existing facility and upgrades to some aspects of the existing building, such as the exterior and the roof.

Whole new Uptown

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Uptown Property Group is aiming to offer a “complete retail environment” in uptown New Westminster.

Construction of the four-storey Queen’s Park West commercial building is continuing at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Fifth Street. Originally scheduled to be completed this month, the project encountered some issues with the elevator and structural steel that delayed construction.

“We should have the building completed by the end of August,” said Bart Slotman, vice-president of the Uptown Property Group. “We should have the first businesses in there by October.”

Queen’s Park West will house a restaurant and two other retailers at ground level. Slotman said the company has been aiming to offer a complete retail environment in its developments.

“We are very aware in order for a retail area to be successful, it needs to attract a range of retailers,” he said. “We have been pretty strategic who we have attracted to the area.”

Slotman declined to comment on what restaurant is proposing to open in Queen’s Park West. He said the building wouldn’t include businesses such as payroll loan shops or dollar stores.

In addition to new sidewalks that are nearing completion on Sixth Avenue, the section of Sixth Avenue in front of Queen’s Park West will be put on a “road diet” that will see it slightly narrowed and the sidewalks widened from 10 to 14 feet.

“It will be more pedestrian friendly,” said Slotman, noting the sidewalks will

be a similar width to those in front of Westminster Centre on Sixth Street.

The project includes new sidewalks all the way to the Sixth Street corner in front of Blenz Coffee. New street trees, lighting and banners will accompany new sidewalks.

Anyone who’s been to Westminster Centre has noticed the construction taking place along its Sixth Street frontage. The planters have been removed and decorative, in-floor lighting will be installed.

“That whole area will be modernized, renovated,” Slotman said. “It was last done in ‘94. It was due for a refreshing.”

Slotman noted that the mall has received some complaints about people sitting on the planters and smoking.

In addition to removing the planters, the renovation includes the creation of a new patio for Starbucks.

“The Starbucks patio will be rebuilt. It will be level with the store,” he said. “It will be raised up. You can only get to it from the store.”

Last November, the Uptown Property Group applied to city hall for a development permit so it could create a plaza in the area in front of Starbucks and TD Canada Trust. The proposal would have seen the elimination of three on-street parking spots and a widened plaza area.

When the drawings and the proposal received mixed reviews from city council, the Uptown Property Group withdrew its application and moved forward with a renovation of the area within its own property line.

“I think both of them will modernize and help promote a pedestrian friendly environment,” Slotman said of the two projects.

Sign bylaw review for Anvil Centre

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster is applying to vary its own sign bylaw.

The city is applying to vary requirements of the sign bylaw for signage being proposed at 777 Columbia St. – the location of Anvil Centre and Merchant Square.

Anvil Centre is the city’s future civic and conference centre, and Merchant Square is the office tower the city is building atop the civic facility.

“Public Architecture + Communication has been hired by the city to develop a signage plan for Anvil Centre,” stated a report to council. “A signage plan for Merchant Square has not yet been

developed, but staff anticipate that a number of variance will be required.

A development variance permit application is required to allow the proposed Anvil Centre and potential Merchant Square signage.”

Council has approved a staff recommendation to give notice that it will consider a resolution to issue a development variance permit to vary the sign bylaw.

OUR VIEW

This can serve as an important reminder to us all – including those of us who live in earthquake country.

As unpredictable as these disasters can be, if we prepare in advance, lives can be saved. Families, students and coworkers will all be safer if we think on these unpleasant possibilities and prepare plans to get us through.

B.C. Emergency Preparedness Week passed earlier this month without much fanfare, as the provincial election was set for the following week.

But perhaps now we can take a moment to consider how ready we are for an earthquake, a fire or any of the other potential threats to our safety.

There are many resources to help us plan – in New Westminster, the city offers personal planning guides and more. For more information, go to www. newwestcity.ca/residents/public_safety/ emergency_preparedness.

We cannot plan for every eventuality, but we can strive to make ourselves and our loved ones as safe as possible.

Pundits were wrong about Liberals IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY

W

ell, I was wrong.

Along with pretty much everyone else (with the exception of a small B.C. Liberal Party campaign brain trust), I thought the election last week was going to produce a result exactly the opposite of what actually happened.

Polls were uniformly incorrect (in part, I think, because of their methodology, which relied too much on on-line research and less on old-fashioned telephone polling) and created an entrenched impression that the B.C. Liberals were too far behind in public opinion to stand much of a chance of winning.

But the election also served as a reminder that what actually happens during an election campaign matters and can shape the outcome of the vote.

The shorthand is this: the B.C. Liberals ran a masterful campaign, while the NDP’s campaign totally flopped. That statement applies to both the central campaign, which is wrapped around the party leader, and the local campaign, which is responsible for identifying supporters and getting them to the polls.

The B.C. Liberals’ campaign

was harshly negative towards the NDP and filled with inaccuracies about their track record and achievements. Yet there was also a positive tone to it as well, and it obviously appealed to voters.

For all the ridicule heaped on Christy Clark (by myself and others) for her fantastical promise to retire the province’s enormous pile of debt through the creation of liquefied natural gas terminals, it’s clear that people bought into, at least part of, that message because it was about the future.

Clark and her party had a central campaign theme and stuck to it, relentlessly hammering home the idea that they alone could be trusted on economic issues.

In stark contrast to the B.C. Liberals’ clarity and consistency was the inept NDP campaign, which was unfocused and over confident. Party leader Adrian Dix’s sudden announcement that the party opposed the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal helped cement the idea the NDP was opposed to economic development.

The NDP also decided not to hold the B.C. Liberals accountable for a number of scandals and controversies. The B.C. Liberals, on the other hand, attacked Dix’s character and honesty. One approach was positive and disastrous; the other was nasty and effective.

This election campaign had

Baseball tournament omitted

Dear Editor:

I was pleased to see a Hyack Festival insert in the May 17 edition of the Royal City Record; pleased until I saw a major omission from the schedule of events.

For the last 49 years, evidently longer than the 42year-old Hyack Festival itself, New Westminster Baseball has run a baseball tournament for 11- to 12year-old teams on the second weekend of the Hyack festivities, i.e. the Memorial Day weekend.

The tournament starts on the Friday and features 16 teams in game action on four diamonds at Moody Park, including the stadium diamond and Justin Morneau Field. Games continue all day Saturday, starting at 10 a.m. with a home run contest after the morning game. The tournament ends on Sunday with two round robin games at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ◗Liberals Page 7 followed by the medal round games at 4 p.m. at

Clarification on kids’ hockey Dear Editor:

At present, more than 100 players we expected to return have not registered. Players registered before May 31 are guaranteed a spot within the NWMHA next season. However, those who choose to wait to register are putting their child at risk of not having ◗Team Page 7

Please help us to avoid the wait-lists that were created last year when over 20 players registered after the ice time negotiations with the city had already concluded.

These players were told to wait and see if ice became available. The message appears to have gotten through to age groups where the wait lists occurred last year.

B.C. election polls way off

Dear Editor:

The pollsters, and even the New Democrats, did not take into account the advantages of incumbency, while Christy

Clark’s Liberals were all too cognizant of its disadvantages. The NDP took the highroad, campaigning as though victory was assured, while the Liberals made the election less about polarizing issues like the HST, but rather economic sustainability.

In keeping with the theme of “Strong Economy, Secure Tomorrow,” Clark was clearly making note that her team was the better managers of the provinces finances.

It certainly helped the Liberal campaign that Adrian Dix was an NDP insider and a key figure in the scandal-plagued NDP administration of former premier Glen Clark.

The NDP campaign seemed content to roll into election night believing the polls that they failed to highlight the failures and controversies of the 12-year-old Liberal government.

Unfortunately for Dix and the NDP, they failed to understand that the Liberal surge in the closing days of the campaign was a result of the Liberal advertising offensive to which the NDP had no response. It certainly didn’t help the NDP that they failed to define what their “Change for the Better” campaign slogan meant – there was no sound bite, no tweetable explanation as to what “change” an Dix-led NDP government would bring to British Columbia.

The Liberals, driven by their desire for political survival, had a good deal of their base turn out at the polls.

THREE

COURSE SPRING LUNCH

been underway pretty well from the moment Clark and Dix took over their party’s leadership but only became intense and focused during the 28-day writ period.

Clark can now stop campaigning and focus on governing. She has rebuilt her party and renewed her caucus (half of them are first-time MLAs, many of them with experience at the municipal politics level).

Past controversies (the HST being the most notable) have now been wiped clean from the slate. The people have spoken and have sent an unmistakable message: Clark and her party are the ones they trust, and not the NDP. Two years ago, shortly after Clark and Dix became leaders, I spoke at a business gathering and held up that now-famous Province newspaper photo of a beaming Christy Clark

spiring man. The result shows voters didn’t really care what happened the past two years and were more concerned about the future.

And in the end, they went with that beaming woman in the Canucks jersey over the unsmiling fellow they didn’t really know.

Christy Clark now has been given a mandate by the people, and even though only about half the electorate voted, it’s a strong one.

She proved to be a dynamic political campaigner, and her challenge now is to show she’s also an effective governor.

But until she falters, she should be given the benefit of the doubt and the chance to show her stuff.

And I’m not wrong about that. ◆ Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

I suggested that campaigns were all about themes and images, and that the contrast in those photos was indication of the enormous advantage Clark had over Dix. Since then, of course, Clark faltered time and again as premier, while Dix patiently bided his time as he watched what appeared to be a government going over a cliff.

My original assessment of Clark’s strengths had been replaced by doubts of her leadership.

But then the actual campaign began. And the differences between the two leaders was magnified and put on display.

Howay parents petition to keep principal

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Concerned parents at F.W. Howay Elementary School have started a petition to keep their principal, who is slated to move to another local elementary school in August.

The New Westminster school district recently announced plans to shuffle principals and staff at various schools, including moving Howay principal Ken Millard

to Lord Kelvin Elementary and bringing in Jamie Sadler from Queen Elizabeth Elementary.

“It would be nice if we could keep him for one more year,” Howay parent advisory council chair Marian Baseden said about Millard after the announcement was made.

The parents are also being encouraged to send this letter to superintendent John Woudzia: “Since 2009 F.W. Howay Elementary

Seeking a home for global artists

BY MARELLE REID REPORTER mreid@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster is calling on local residents to offer up a place to stay for a small group of international artists next year.

As part of the Vancouver Biennale art exhibition in 2014-2015, 60 artists from around the world will be invited to live and work in the Lower Mainland for a four-to-six-week period.

New Westminster city council, on the recommendation of the city advisory committee, suggested this hosting arrangement might be a good way for the Royal City to get involved with the arts event, according to Greg Magirescu, the city’s manager of arts and cultural

development.

“This is a unique opportunity for the local arts community, as well as residents and art aficionados in the city, to take part in an innovative and collaborative hosting program,” he said in a press release.

The ideal host would be a resident or developer who would be willing to offer up a large house, loft, studio, condo or other type of accommodation for between three and five artists in 2014 as part of the artist-in-residence program. The Biennale organizers will cover the costs for the artists’ stay, which means there will be no cost to the local host.

For more information, contact Magirescu at gmagirescu@newwestcity. ca or 604-527-4530.

that has been created with yet another administrative change. … We believe it is in the best interest of our children and best educational practice to retain our current principal …”

Millard is in his third year at the Massey Heights school, which has about 130 students. Meanwhile, Kelvin hasn’t had a full-time principal since January. Sandra Pace, the district’s director of instruction, has been its acting principal. The new assignments are to start in August.

Uptown New West building online identity

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Uptown New Westminster is going digital to create a stronger identity for the neighbourhood.

Bart Slotman, president of the Uptown Business Association, said businesses started the process last year, when they joined forces with the Hyack Festival Association to host Uptown Live.

The street festival featured performances by

indie bands, demonstrations and other activities on uptown streets following the Hyack International Parade.

“People know what uptown is,” Slotman said.

“We are trying to create a more cohesive identity.”

In addition to hosting the second annual Uptown Live event on Saturday, May 25, a committee has been hard at work on plans to develop a new logo and website.

“What we know is a

lot of our customer base is online. We see a strong need to connect with them online,” Slotman said.

“MyUptown.ca is really a community website. It’s not simply businesses. It’s really a community website.”

MyUptown.ca includes sections on food and drink, health and wellness, live and work, recreation, services and shopping.

“It’s a cool website. It has tons of information on all the business and services

provided. It is not just retail or business. It has information about recreational and cultural activities,” Slotman said. “It becomes a community resource.”

Uptown businesses range from national and regional chain stores to independent and momand-pop operations.

“You will see the diversity of the uptown as a neighbourhood, how much it has to offer,” Slotman said of the website. “This is still a work-in-progress.

We will try to build it in the coming months.”

The newly launched MyUptown.ca already includes 60 listings, but it’s expected to grow to 150 or 200 in the months to come.

“It’s an attractive website, but it’s really a community resource,” Slotman said. “Hopefully it will help make people realize what a diverse and complete community the uptown is.”

Many of the listings include photographs of the businesses and the people

who work at those services.

“There’s a lot of graphics – a lot of people, a lot of pictures, a lot of smiling faces,” Slotman said.

“There’s a picture of the business owner – you have a face to a name.”

Following the May 25 Uptown Live event, the Uptown Business Association will hang new street banners that support the goal of creating a strong identity for the neighbourhood.

New Westminster explores affordable housing

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Action will be taken to address affordable housing in New Westminster.

In 2011, New Westminster city council approved an affordable housing strategy that included a number of directions to take regarding affordable housing. As part of this year’s budget process, staff are planning to work on two of the initiatives this year – a pilot affordable housing project using city-owned land, and an investigation of opportunities to permit secondary suites in duplexes, townhouses and apartment buildings.

“I think it’s creative and smart to identify some existing sources of funding

to bring it forward,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy of affordable housing.

Although city council considered the matter as part of its 2013 to 2017 financial plan, staff noted that the initiatives would be funded through the development services department’s 2013 consultant services budget and/or the special projects budget.

McEvoy said he is pleased to see the item included in this year’s budget. Noting that commitments have been made to address affordable housing in New Westminster, he said it’s in the budget where politicians’ promises are made or broken.

A staff report states that the proposed affordable housing pilot project would include technological exploration of

developing an affordable housing pilot project on a city-owned site with government/nonprofit society partners. It’s estimated that consulting services for the initiative would cost about $50,000.

According to the report, staff has conducted an analysis of the suitability of city-owned lands for the development of nonprofit housing.

“The first step involves the selection of a short list of potential sites suitable for affordable housing for council consideration,” said the report. “Once a site is selected, staff proposes to retain consultant services to develop a model for the affordable housing pilot project.”

The second initiative proposes to study the potential of allowing secondary rental

“These secondary suites (often called lock-off suites) would be self-contained dwelling units designed within larger primary units,” the report states. “They would have the ability to be locked off from the larger unit with a lockable connecting door and would be connected to the hallway or outside by a separate door.”

The concept has been successfully introduced in some apartment and townhouse units in UniverCity (on Burnaby Mountain).

This project requires about $20,000 in funding for a technical analysis of the building code and $15,000 for the development of design guidelines.

BLOCK WATCH PROGRAM CONNECTS LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH COMMUNITY RESIDENTS

New West neighbours band together New Westminster Block Watch program encourages neighbourhood relations

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

“It’s a beautiful day in this neighbourhood, a beautiful day for a neighbour. Would you be mine? Could you be mine?”

The idea of neighbourhoods has dramatically changed since Mr. Rogers first sang those words to children. Today you’re luck if you even know your neighbours’ names, let alone befriend them.

But New Westminster’s Block Watch program – made up of members of the police department and community – has worked hard to make the city a welcoming and friendly place since the ’90s. A place where every day is a beautiful day for a neighbour.

“We encourage neighbours to look out for neighbours, and we try and work with them so that they understand all the benefits to preventing crime before it occurs,” said Shelley Cole, crime prevention coordinator for the police department.

Cole, along with two police officers, including Const. Michael Blackstock, work together with community block watch groups to improve safety in their various neighbourhoods, or blocks.

“First and foremost, I think is just opening up communication between the police department and the community and knowing what’s going on in their neighbourhood,” she said.

In New Westminster there are about 100 “blocks” that are part of the program.

These blocks range in size, shape and density. They can be traditional blocks on streets and avenues, but also apartment complexes or condominium towers. Some blocks are quite large, while others are only a handful of homes, according to Cole.

Each block has a captain and co-captain who communicate with police. These communications cover an enormous range of information, including safety tips.

“It’s a very proactive approach,” Blackstock said. “(Policing) can be seen as strictly reactionary (but) this is kind of on the flip side, where we’re being proactive and trying to help the people that live here help us to prevent it before it even starts.”

The Block Watch program works by encouraging open communication between residents, captains and the police, and this is done by encouraging neighbours to get out on their street and meet each other, Blackstock said.

Hoyer’s building has been fairly fortunate when it comes to crime, but residents did have some problems in the past with people sneaking into the building through the underground parking garage gate. “(We now) have a sign that says ‘do not leave the parking area until the gate is closed,’” he said. “It’s a case of awareness.”

But the program isn’t always on high alert. Sometimes they even kick off their shoes and throw parties, Hoyer said.

“We get to know each other, (and) we want to get to know each other,” he said.

And that’s really the main goal of the Block Watch program, Cole said.

New Westminster’s newest MLA preparing for the role

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The city’s new MLA is hard at work trying to get set for her new job.

NDP MLA Judy Darcy joined volunteers at the campaign office after the

election to clean it out and have a bit of a celebration.

“We gave everyone an orange rose,” she said.

“They have worked so hard. We had a bit of a celebration, told stories, cleaned out the office.”

Darcy is now in the

process of finding a constituency office, hiring staff and getting set up for her new role. She anticipates the NDP will be having a caucus meeting in the near future.

Darcy said she’s not in a position to provide in-

depth analysis about the NDP’s loss to the B.C. Liberals, which was contrary to many people’s expectations that it would form government.

“It was a surprise to everybody, to the NDP, to the Liberals. It seems it was

a surprise to everybody. We are going to need to take some time to reflect on that and try and figure out what that means, what it was that led to that kind of result,” she said. “Obviously there are lessons to be learned.

I felt really good about us

running a positive campaign, a positive campaign in New Westminster, a positive campaign across the province.”

Darcy said she’ll work hard in opposition to represent New Westminster in Victoria.

Product Hailed by Doctors as the Solution for Back Pain

Doctor developed decompression belt has been called the solution for back pain. Dr. Michael Ho announced he is giving 50% off for one week only. Due to the Spring rush, each household is limited to only 2 belts.

By Marc Charron

Health and Lifestyle

Back pain affects 8 out of 10 people. It can also rob you of your happiness, where getting out of bed becomes a painful reminder of your bad back. While pills provide temporary relief, the condition can reoccur, because pills mask the symptoms and do not target the cause of the pain.

Other treatments cost thousands of dollars or have substantial health risks. “That’s why most people end up “living” with their bad back,” says Dr. Michael Ho. Dr. Michael Ho is a doctor with over 20 years of clinical experience specializing in treating the cause of chronic back pain, including Degenerative Disc Disease, Sciatic Nerve Pain, Scoliosis, Spinal Stenosis and Herniated / Bulging discs. His belief is to treat the cause of the problem so that patients get long term relief, earning him international recognition for his patient care and expertise.

No Belt

With Belt

Dr. Ho has developed a back supporting decompression belt that can be used at home, allowing you to help relieve your back pain, while saving time and money.

Dr. Ho’s brand new Decompression Belt is endorsed by medical professionals and customers that have suffered with long-term, chronic back pain.

"I have used many modalities to treat my patients, but nothing is as effective as the decompression belt. To effectively treat someone with back pain, the patient must receive treatment everyday for 6 - 8 weeks. People cannot afford the time or money to visit the doctor everyday. I developed this belt because patients need a device they can use at home,” says Dr. Ho.

Dr. Michael Ho consults with a patient suffering with herniated disc, degenerated disc and over 10 years of back pain.

Dr. Ho’s Decompression Belt expands to help decompress the spine to provide support and help relieve the pain.

The belt will help relieve your pain in as little as 20 minutes, even if you’ve suffered with back pain for many years. And you can even wear the belt while doing activities.

Uptown Live Hits Home Run with Music Fans Fans at last year’s inaugural Uptown Live were treated to high energy, live music the likes the city hadn’t seen before.

The musical gala, featuring some of B.C.’s best Indie bands, exceeded all of the organizers expectations, with between 25,000 and 35,000 attending both the parade and the all-day free live music festival.

“We hit a home run for sure,” says Douglas Smith, Executive Director, Hyack Festival Association. “This year we have another whole new line-up of incredibly talented bands set to perform.” The second annual Uptown Live festival will showcase performances on three outdoor stages on Saturday, May 25th from 1 to 7 p.m. at 6th and 6th.

Bend Sinister, a progressive pop-rock quartet fronted by singer/songwriter/keyboardist Daniel Moxon, is one of a dozen ensembles coming to New Westminster.

“Our sound is best defined as classic rock infused with a piano-based, modern rock,” says Moxon, who formed the band in 2001 in his hometown of Kelowna. Since then, though names and faces in the band have changed, Moxon’s passion for original and honest music has never wavered.

Music critics have said that Moxon’s stage presence, coupled with his vocal range have made him “one of the most unforgettable front men on the Canadian Indie music scene.”

After last year’s Uptown Live successful solo performance, Moxon was invited to return, this time with his Bend Sinister band mates. Bend Sinister has been compared to classic 70’s rock genre bands, Supertramp and Steely Dan.

Supertramp was renowned for its piano up front, something Bend Sinister is also built on. After the quartet took third spot and $50,000 in the 2009 Peak Performance Project and hit Top 10 on CBC Radio 3, the group has become wellknown in the Indie circuit.

Meanwhile, Moxon says fans of Uptown Live can expect a 45 minute, high energy-driven rock show. “We will play a good mix of songs from some of our earlier CD’s, as well as perform some songs from our most recent CD, Small Frame,” adds Moxon. “Fans always love us to sing Things Will Get Better and Time Breaks Down.”

Another local Indie band to take to the stage is Good for Grapes. Fronted by singer/songwriter/acoustic guitarist Daniel McBurnie, this young, up and coming group consists of five friends all bent on creating original “big, folk acoustic-driven music.”

This folk/alternative ensemble features a great horn section, consisting of the trombone, trumpet, flute and accordion. McBurnie says his songs are heavily influenced by great folk singers Bob Dylan and Art Garfunkel.

“I grew up on their music and I’m inspired by that 60’s folk revival music,” adds McBurnie. “Although we formed in 2010, we have already won Rogers’ Battle of the Bands for two years in a row.” When not performing, Good for Grapes is busy in the studio recording their full-length debut CD, set to be released in September.

DNA testing in the Royal City

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Earlier this year, a Canadian family discovered they were descended from King Richard III, whose skeletal remains were discovered under a parking lot in England.

This royal tale is a fascinating example of the power – and possibility – of DNA testing to solve centuries-old mysteries.

So far, no royal connections have been discovered in New Westminster, but a DNA testing business has been operating in the city for more than a decade.

Orchid PRO-DNA offers a number of DNA testing options, but the New Westminster facility focuses mainly on relationship testing.

“We are the most important company across Canada that does relationship testing,” says Yvan Côté, general manager of Warnex Medical Laboratories, who works at the company’s Quebec laboratory and was visiting the local office.

The majority of testing is for paternity, general knowledge, custody, estate issues and immigration testing.

The company also does forensic testing, but the main office is in Ontario.

It has about 200 patient service centres across Canada, and, along with routine testing, Orchid PRO-DNA is involved with clinical trials and drug testing.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms, explains the Genetics Home Reference website.

It was the infamous O. J. Simpson trial in 1995 that first put the concept of DNA into the public consciousness, Orchid PRO-DNA customer service manager Shari McKendrick says.

Orchid Cellmark tested

the DNA evidence used at the trial. Orchid PRO-DNA is the combined name for the amalgamated companies, Orchid Cellmark and Warnex PRO-DNA, both of which are divisions of Gamma-Dynacare Medical Laboratories.

“It hadn’t been issued in court cases previous to that, so it was kind of very new,” McKendrick says.

“Dr. Robin Cotton was on the stand, who worked out of Cellmark, and she had to try explain to people what DNA testing was.

“She had to explain how it matches … people had no knowledge. It was like a mystery science to everybody at the time, so there was a lot of education through that court case as to people listening to what DNA testing was.”

The O.J. trial also changed the way samples are collected forensically and who touches evidence in the “chain of custody,” McKendrick explains.

“If you’ve watched CSI, they put little markers down to a blood drop or a piece of tissue on the ground,” McKendrick says, explaining the chainof-custody concept. “They put a number. They photograph it. They have to pick it up, put it in an evidence bag, and sign off on it. It’s sealed. Next person who opens it, signs off on it, because there’s been a lot of court cases where the chain of custody has been broken, and the evidence is thrown out.”

While the criminal possibilities of DNA testing garner the most attention and intrigue, there are also health benefits.

The company recently began offering a non-invasive fetal trisomy testing, called the Harmony Prenatal Test, which screens for chromosome abnormalities in a developing fetus.

“After 10 weeks of pregnancy, we just do a simple sample of blood, extract

Police warn public of counterfeit bills First known case of fake polymer bills in Royal City

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Two recent cases of counterfeit cash turning up in New Westminster have police asking the public to report any suspicious bills.

According to police, between April 26 and May 4, officers were called to two separate locations to investigate possible

counterfeit $100 bills. The first incident – at a local grocery store – turned up two fake $100 bills and about a week later five more counterfeit bills were seized at a local bank.

“A male was at a local area bank trying to deposit five of these $100 bills and, of course the bank being the bank, they recognized it right away and they phoned (the police),” said Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland of the New Westminster Police Department.

The police confirmed the bills were fake in both cases and are continuing to search for the man who used the fake money at

the grocery store, he said.

As for the man who tried to deposit the counterfeit bills at the bank, Hyland said he has been very cooperative and police don’t believe he knowingly tried to deposit the bills. Police are now trying to determine where he would have gotten the fake bills.

“I don’t know if we’d ever determine where the bills come from. It’s my understanding that it’s the first time we’ve seen counterfeit polymer bills, but I believe it’s not the first time it’s been counterfeited in the country,” he added.

Hyland said one of the easiest ways to identify a counterfeit bill is to look for the raised printing.

Other security features of the new polymer bills include a transparent window with numbers printed inside, the metallic portrait, and the serial numbers.

For more information on how to determine a fake bill from the real thing, visit www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/banknote-series/polymer. If you suspect you have a counterfeit bill, contact the New Westminster police at 604-525-5411 or take the bills to a bank.

Home sales up in March Japanese delegation visits city But overall sales down compared to previous year

Vancouver, where the composite price (meaning the price of all types of homes) was down almost four per cent from a year ago.

In New Westminster, the prices dropped about one per cent from a year ago.

“We expect prices to stay flat for some time,” said Cameron Muir, chief economist with the British Columbia Real Estate Association. ”Overall, while many potential buyers have been taking a wait-and-see approach, sellers are also taking a wait-and-see approach.”

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

Home sales in New Westminster were higher in March compared to February of this year, but sales overall last month were down 20 per cent from the same time the previous year, according to the chief economist with the British Columbia Real Estate Association.

Local real estate numbers were slightly higher than the rest of Greater

detached homes in New Westminster were down by 30 per cent from the previous year and down 20 per cent for condo sales.

There was one area that saw a boost – attached (townhouses) sales were up 24 per cent.

However, Muir warns the local numbers can be easily skewed because they are small in terms of total sales activity.

“We expect to see much stronger sales activity in the second half of the year,” Muir said, summing up what his association expects in the coming year.

A large delegation from Moriguchi, Japan, is visiting New Westminster this week in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the two cities’ sister city relationship.

New Westminster officials thought Hyack Festival Week and May Day would be an “excellent opportunity to showcase the city” and provide delegates with a feeling of what New Westminster offers from a cultural and tourism perspective, stated a staff report.

Back in October 1962, the two cities established a sister city relationship – the first relationship of its kind between a Canadian and a Japanese city.

“Since the beginning of this relationship, there have been a number of trips back and forth with our sister city in Japan and a wonderful friendship continues,” the staff report stated.

New two-storey building for Brewery District

Wesgroup Properties is planning to build a two-storey building in the next phase of its Brewery District development.

The company has applied to the city for a development permit and a development variance permit to allow a 2,514 square metre (27,047 square foot) twostorey building in the next phase of the development at 180 East Columbia St. A variance is required because the applicant is proposing to include one space for a loading bay, where two are required.

Council has issued a notice that it will consider the development variance permit on June 17. tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Local woman turns 106 AROUND TOWN

elated birthday greetings to longtime New Westminster resident Marguerite Robertson, who recently celebrated her 106th birthday.

Robertson was born on May 13, 1907 and has lived in New Westminster since 1940.

After arriving in New Westminster, her husband Dr. John Robertson joined the Rotary Club, and she joined the Rotary Anns where she met some good friends.

Nowadays, Robertson gives high praise to the New Westminster Public Library’s seniors program, which goes into homes and nursing homes with books.

Robertson still reads three to four books every two weeks.

“I keep my mind active and try to make time for a walk each day,” she said.

“I have arthritis in my hands, otherwise I haven’t a pain in my body.”

Robertson’s active lifestyle and positive attitude have been an inspiration for friends.

Youth awarded

The Royal City’s future appears to be in good hands.

The City of New Westminster’s youth services division recently recognized the accomplishments of youth in the community at the 2013 Youth Awards.

This year’s winners are: Iqan Elmasri (community service); Jethray Tescon (youth leadership and visual and performing arts); Jordan Chin (athletics and sportsmanship); Madeleine Clarkson (humanitarian); Cory Macklin and Torri Rix (against the odds); and Last Door Youth Program (amazing advocate).

“This year we had 54 nominees which is big,” said Dawn Kalenuik, a youth leader for the City of New Westminster. “The youth awards are just growing. These kids are getting more and more rec-

ognition.”

The youth were recognized for a range of contributions. Tescon has started a youth breakdancing program at the youth centre, Clarkson is active in the Me to We program, Chin is a member of the New Westminster Hyacks football team and Elmasri volunteers at a number of places. Macklin and Rix shared the Against the Odds award, which is given out to people who have faced adversity and “come out on the other side,” and the Last Door received the amazing advocate award for its recovery program for youth.

“It was a good night,” Kalenuik said. “We want it to grow and grow.”

Youth also demonstrated impressive planning and hosting skills, as four young people in Grade 8 to 12 hosted the May 8 event.

“The hosts did a great job,” Kalenuik said. “They put together the whole thing.”

Never say never: New Westminster’s Josh Byrne, left, sets a pick for ball carrier Chris Nasato, right, in a comefrom-behind 12-9 victory over the Delta Islanders in Ladner on Friday. Byrne led the rally with four counters in an eight-goal third period for the junior A Salmonbellies.

Jr.A ’Bellies continue climb up the lacrosse standings

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster moved into a three-way tie for second place in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League with wins over Port Coquitlam and Delta last week.

The junior A Salmonbellies opened with a 10-7 win in a return match over the Saints in Port Coquitlam on Friday. The ’Bellies then handed the first-place Islanders their third straight loss with a comefrom-behind 12-9 victory in Ladner on Saturday.

The wins improved the Salmonbellies’ record to 4-3 – New

West had an earlier fifth victory defaulted to Nanaimo because of an ineligible player.

Delta currently is in sole possession of first place with a 5-3 record.

“It was a tough game, but the difference was a great third period,” New Westminster head coach Dan Perreault said of the win over Delta.

“It was a very, very good effort – no quit and in the third quarter (the balls) started to go in.”

Josh Byrne, who led all scorers with four goals, scored them all in the comeback third period, including the eventual game-winner at 17:07 on Kyle Dobbie’s game-best sixth assist of the matchup.

Connor Robinson also registered his first Jr. A hat trick with a goal in each of the three periods.

Seventeen-year-old Jeremy Bosher potted a pair to tie him with Byrne for the team lead with 13 goals to date.

Quinn Smith, who scored a goal and earned an assist as a callup with the senior A Salmonbellies on Sunday, also had a five-point night, including his fifth and sixth goals of the year.

Frank Scigliano made 31 stops in the New West nets.

Seniors open WLA season with road win

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies appeared to like the system under new head coach Steve Goodwin, running out to a 15-12 win over the Nanaimo Timbermen on Sunday.

Alex Gajic opened the league season with six points and a first-star outing, including a hat trick.

Fellow righthander Jordan McBride shared the scoring lead with Gajic, with two goals and four

helpers. Lefthander Tom Johnson had two goals and five points for the ’Bellies, who outscored Nanaimo 5-4 in each of the three periods.

Neil Tyacke made 33 stops to get the win in goal, including a key stop with the T-Men leading 76 early in the second period that preceded a fourgoal New Westminster run moments later.

“I was very happy with the way it started. It’s a new system in general, but as the game went on, we got stronger,” said

Goodwin.

New West also received some immediate payback from a number of newcomers to the team.

Chet Koneczny, who came to New Westminster recently from Victoria in exchange for the playing rights to Rory Smith, wasted no time showing his worth, scoring the club’s first goal of the season at 27 seconds of the opening period.

Third overall pick in the WLA junior draft, Jeff Cornwall, also contributed his first career goal, scor-

ing an unassisted tally shorthanded in the breakout middle period.

Third-round pick Reagan Harding also shone, earning the game’s third star following a three-point debut, including his first two senior A goals.

“We were impressed,” added Goodwin. “We’re asking the players for a more uptempo game.”

New Westminster will welcome Victoria to Queen’s Park Arena for Thursday’s home opener.

Game time is 7:45 p.m.

Softball: A legacy of respect building in championship playdowns ries over Bellevue produced a mutual respect that carried over from last season, when Douglas stayed to cheer them on after the Washington school eliminated the Royals, said Collings “(Bellevue) is our conference rival, the team to beat in the conference. But we have developed a relationship with that team,” he said. “We cheered them on last year. The Bellevue coach told me the girls wanted to come out and support (Douglas) and would it be OK if the girls wore our other set of jersies. That’s really touching.

I’ve never seen anything like that, and I know that (relationship) is going to go on.”

The Royals handed Bellevue its first loss of the championships in the quarter-finals on Friday, defeating the regular season division champs 8-3.

Myre again recorded the win, striking out four and allowing just five hits. Myre further helped the cause with two runs, two hits and one RBI.

On Saturday, the Royals opened play with a 4-1 loss to No. 2 seed Wenatchee Valley, despite outhitting the opposition 8-2 in the championship semifinal bracket.

Emi Nomura batted in the Royals’ only run with her second hit of the day. The three-run difference all came down to infield errors in the third inning.

With the loss, Douglas was relegated to the one-loss backdoor bracket.

Later in the day, Douglas got back on track downing Spokane 17-7 in with a 19-hit effort.

Carling Hare came on in relief of Myre to record the win. Myre led all hitters with two hits and four RBI, while Alisha McFadden had two hits and three RBI. Stelau, Nomura and Greenough also had three hits apiece.

Myre, Jeffers, Chow and Strelau were all named to the all-tournament team.

In the championship final, Myre allowed seven hits and struck out six.

Pitcher Hailey Bator of Wenatchee Valley was named the tournament MVP. Bator gave up eight hits to the Douglas Royals, while striking out a dozen batters to record the win. tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

A Real Estate Minute

Honest answers to your real estate questions.

Q. I share a driveway with my

Derrick Thornhill

neighbour. We have always gotten along very well and it’s never been an issue. Will it be one when either of us go to sell?

A. You know it! Our lovely little city has more shared driveways then

you may think. At least once a year I am asked to evaluate a property that has a shared driveway. If you get along with your neighbour, offer to enter into coincidental right of ways over each property. That will protect access forever to the rear of both properties.

Should the next owner not share the same fondness with your neighbour, no one can stop him from putting up a fence, perhaps right down the middle of that driveway! Imagine losing the ability to access your garage and how it would affect your property’s selling price. Inversely, I would ensure that a right-of-way was in place before a client of mine bought a property with a shared driveway.

Q.

We had our home on the market last year but our realtor failed to bring us even a single offer in six months. I’m not shoveling any more snow! What should we do different this time?

A.

I think we are all aware by now that your realtor can no longer simply stick a sign in your lawn and sell your home. It takes a seasoned realtor and an established marketing plan to get the job done in this challenging market. I find this is the very market that my services are most called upon. Today’s home-seller is not taking a chance listing with their cousin Vinnie from Vancouver or a discount realtor. You need the job done right the first time!

T

els, ready-to-install kitchen cabinets, pre-finished flooring…these and many other components used to be built piece-by-piece on site.

The vast majority of new home builders today take full advantage of the quality, precision and justin-time delivery of manufactured building components. This allows them to provide their customers with a high quality home efficiently, cost-effectively and within a shorter timeframe.

As manufacturing processes have become more sophisticated, opportunities for moving the construction of homes inside the factory have expanded. Factory-built housing is a growing industry in Canada, reflecting changes in home construction here and elsewhere. In Sweden, for instance, close to 90% of all new homes are factory-built.

Today, homebuyers and new home builders can choose from a number of factory-built systems that provide a home in varying degrees of completion-from modular and manufactured homes that arrive on site virtually complete, to pre-engineered and panelized homes that reduce the amount of

work required at the site.

As the name implies, modular homes are built in three-dimensional modules, offering home buyers and builders a great deal of design flexibility. The homes are very energy efficient and can be built to the R-2000 Standard-the highest standard for energy performance in Canada.

Modules can be combined to make one-, two- or three-storey homes. While a typical two-storey home consists of four or five modules, larger custom homes might use eight or more of varying dimensions. A small, but growing number of developers have also turned to modular construction for multi-family complexes (e.g. row housing).

When the modules arrive on your lot, they are ready for assembly on the foundation. Insulation, air/ vapour barriers, plumbing, wiring, siding and other construction details are mostly completed.

Interior finishing is usually well advanced, including drywall, trim, flooring and cabinets. Completing your home on site can take the builder a couple of weeks or more, depending on the size, style and

FROM FACTORY TO SITE

hinking about buying a brand new home?

One of the images that springs to mind is the construction site, bustling with activity as a succession of workers and subtrades build your home from the ground up.

The reality is that increasingly your new home is built in factories and then assembled on your building site. Pre-fabricated roof trusses, pre-assembled wall pan-

features of the home. Some features and custom upgrades are best done on site, such as brick siding and some hard surface flooring.

A manufactured home is the option that is the most complete when it leaves the factory. It is often ready for move-in the same day or a few days after it arrives on your site. Due to their unique structural design, manufactured homes can be installed on surface foundations, such as piers. They can also be relocated, although the majority are never moved from their original site. Built in one or two sections, manufactured homes are available in many designs and layouts, with a wide selection of standard and customized features.

Characteristic of panelized homes are pre-fabricated wall sections that can reduce on-site construction time considerably. The panels can be partially or fully completed, with windows, doors and siding often installed already. For pre-engineered homes, the major building components are prepared in the factory and shipped to the building site as a package ready for assembly, including framing

LISTINGS WANTED

Today, homebuyers and new home builders can choose from a number of factory-built systems that provide a home in varying degrees of completionfrom modular and manufactured homes that arrive on site virtually complete... materials, doors, windows, roofing, siding, interior wall partitions and subflooring. The pre-engineered building system emphasizes precision design and pre-cutting and can be used for virtually any home design, from standard cottage plans to highly customized dream homes.
