A pending construction surge is raising red ﬂags over fairness as thousands are expected to ﬂock to First Nations’ developments

Our homes on native land?

Surrey to have twice the number as before

ong-promised reforms are about to set off a building boom on First Nations-owned land in the Lower Mainland. But some civic leaders fear it will create enclaves of condo towers and commercial buildings occupied by tens of thousands of residents and businesses that pay no regional taxes. Besides depriving Metro Vancouver and TransLink of property tax and utility fees, it could skew the region’s vision for development and leave businesses competing on unequal footing. That warning comes from the Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee (LMTAC), which represents local municipalities on aboriginal issues. It has released a draft discussion paper on the potential impacts of the federal First Nations Commercial and Industrial Development Act and related legislation. The provisions, now being implemented in B.C., will cut red tape for bands that want to develop reserve lands, allowing them to greatly expand their populations of non-aboriginal tenants. The first aboriginal group out of the gate is the Squamish Nation, which plans to build 12,000 condos on its undeveloped reserve lands in Vancouver and West Ralph Drew Vancouver. An extra 25,000 nonaboriginal residents could move onto those Squamish lands over the next two decades, LMTAC estimates. That’s equivalent to a new city the size of Port Moody being dropped into the Lower Mainland that doesn’t

by Jeff Nagel ICBC has unveiled a list of 140 intersections where it’s activating new digital cameras to bust red light runners. The insurance corporation says the $20-million expansion of its existing program means there’s a better chance of catching violators, who then get $167 tickets in the mail. Under the old system, 30 film cameras were rotated through about 120 locations. Placing digital cameras in all 140 new locations mean there’s a nearly five-fold increase in intersections that can be electronically patrolled at any given time. Most of the sites are in Metro Vancouver, with 46 in Vancouver, 29 in Surrey, 11 in Burnaby, 10 in the Tri-Cities, eight in Richmond, four in both Langley and North Delta and three each in Maple Ridge and Abbotsford. The biggest increase is in Surrey, where more than twice as many cameras are to be deployed

choice of mayor and city councillors could be a matter of walking to your computer – or phone – and selecting your favourite candidates. Electronic voting is under consideration by Surrey council, which will debate the issue on Monday. Mayor Dianne Watts favours the idea, but she wants to ensure it won’t be subject to abuse. She says the advantages of such a system could be substantial, among them an increase in voter participation, ease of taking part in elections, and environmental benefits, as people won’t be driving to the polls. Under the system, registered voters would be mailed a PIN (personal identification number) which they would use to log in to a website or identify themselves on Dianne Watts the phone. However, concerns remain regarding the security of the system, Watts said. It could be possible for someone to acquire that PIN – or several of them – to vote for the people of their choice. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson shares Surrey’s concerns. It would be a shame, Jackson said, to wander into a system that could be widely abused. Last year, Ontario residents in 33 municipalities were given the option of voting over the Internet or phone. Several problems occurred, including delays in getting people their PIN numbers by mail. Electronic voting will not be ready locally for this November’s election, as it requires provincial approval first.

Fonyo admits to threatening wife Several charges net 18-month conditional sentence by Sheila Reynolds STEVE FONYO was handed an 18-month conditional sentence on Tuesday (Jan. 11) after pleading guilty to several charges, including uttering threats against his new wife. The Surrey resident, known for his historic run across Canada for cancer research in 1985, had been in custody since his arrest in November. At the time,

Lisa Greenwood, whom he married last August, said the two had gotten into an argument over money. She didn’t want him charged, she said. However, by law, police are required to lay charges in domestic assault cases even if the alleged victim withdraws the complaint. In Surrey Provincial Court this week, Fonyo, 45, admitted not only to the threats, but also to defrauding a store by making

a fraudulent return and using an unauthorized credit card three times to buy gas. Last year, he was arrested for credit card fraud, nearly scuttling his planned wedding at Fonyo Beach in Victoria. His well-publicized struggles with alcohol and cocaine also resulted in the stripping of his Order of Canada medal last year. – with files from Dan Ferguson and CTV

Private sector: No interest in ‘boondoggle’ From page 1

contribute via taxes to the ballooning costs of regional utilities and transit services, according to Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, who chairs LMTAC. He says regular property owners everywhere else in Metro Vancouver will, in effect, subsidize those residents on reserve land. “This is a fairness issue at the core,” Drew said. “These are funds that a significant non-aboriginal population would not be paying and it means all of the taxpayers of Metro Vancouver are going to have to pick up the tab.” Metro Vancouver must spend billions in the years ahead rebuilding two sewage treatment plants and TransLink needs to find huge sums to expand transit. It’s not just TransLink and Metro Vancouver that stand to forgo revenue.

The new developments wouldn’t pay school taxes either. And local cities won’t get increased annual property taxes had the projects been built within their borders – or the one-time development cost charges (DCCs) that are levied to help cover the costs of everything from roads to parks. “If developers don’t have to deal with DCCs, the impact is enormous,” Drew said. “By being able to pursue development on reserve, they don’t have to pay HST, people don’t have to pay Property Transfer Tax, they don’t have to pay property taxes. From the First Nations perspective, there’s no income taxes and no capital gains taxes.” The tenants of such projects won’t be entirely tax-free. The Squamish Nation is expected exact its own taxes on its non-aboriginal residents, although they won’t have

a vote or elected representation on the band council that controls the reserve land. Drew and LMTAC say the aims of the legislative reforms are good: they help First Nations throw off much of the restrictions of the Indian Act to attract residential, commercial and industrial development to their communities. The problem lies in the lack of a mechanism to ensure new band-owned developments pay into regional services the way other land owners do and to ensure they fit Metro Vancouver’s regional growth strategy. The Squamish envision at least three towers at their reserve land near Park Royal shopping centre in West Vancouver as well as condos on their land in Kitsilano near the Burrard Bridge. Drew said they will also get back prime waterfront property from Metro Vancouver where

the Lions Gate sewage treatment plant now sits – it’s to be rebuilt at a new site to a higher standard. If the Squamish succeed in converting their reserve lands to lucrative market housing properties in some of the most desirable parts of the region, Drew predicts other bands will follow. The Musqueam are also pursuing a real estate development strategy and have significant undeveloped reserve land, including 77 hectares near UBC and along the north arm of the Fraser River. They also own the Bridgeport land beneath River Rock Casino in Richmond and a 100,000-sq.-ft. building in Burnaby’s Glenlyon Business Park. Other aboriginal groups also have potentially lucrative waterfront reserves if developed – including the Semiahmoo next to White Rock’s beach, the Tsleil-Waututh in North Vancouver and the Katzie, with reserve land on Barnston Island and in Pitt Meadows. The aboriginal building boom may also spread beyond existing reserve lands. First Nations can apply under the additions-toreserve process to convey reserve status to property they buy on the open market. That’s intended only for expansions to house and serve a band’s own members, but LMTAC argues there’s nothing to stop a First Nation from developing market housing for non-aboriginals on a property after it’s been converted to reserve. Colliers International vice-president Howie Charters, who advises First Nations and businesses on real estate matters, thinks the fears are overblown. “There’s a lot of paranoia out there,” he said, predicting native groups will rely heavily on experienced developers and professional consultants. “The marketplace is going to govern behaviour,” Charters said. “The private sector has no interest in getting involved in a boondoggle or anything that’s nefarious in terms of agreements that have been made.” In theory, Charters said, it should be possible for the Squamish to charge tenants equivalent amounts for regional taxes and utility fees and pass the money on to Metro Vancouver as part of a service agreement. Cross-boundary issues

“These are all stepping stones towards full selfgovernment.” Sophie Pierre and challenges between different jurisdictions are nothing new in the Lower Mainland, he noted. There are already 22 different municipalities in Metro Vancouver (plus the Tsawwwassen First Nation and unincorporated areas) and they all have different tax rates and rules for developers. Local cities need to actively consult and work with nearby aboriginal groups, Charters suggested, just as they would with a neighbouring municipality to coordinate planning and avoid problems. LMTAC’s concerns go beyond taxation. It wants to know how, or if, the province will enforce B.C.’s building code, WorkSafeBC regulations and even environmental standards governing air and water pollution on band-run projects. Also unclear is how Metro Vancouver – which will face increased demand for water and sewer service from the reserves – can respond since it’s legally barred from extending services to developments not authorized under its regional growth strategy. How the Squamish projects proceed will set a precedent for the rest of the region and beyond, Drew said. “The provincial government must get it right in terms of how it’s implemented and how the arrangements are made.” There are few answers from Victoria so far. Aboriginal relations minister Barry Penner was not available for an interview. In a statement issued by his staff, the minister noted the new federal legislation will give B.C. a role it did not have before in encouraging on-reserve development

that will contribute to the economy of the surrounding region. “Because the provincial government generally does not have jurisdiction over reserve land, these projects could, in theory, go ahead without any provincial influence,” Penner said. Squamish Nation Chief Gibby Jacob said he and his staff need more time to study the LMTAC paper before responding in detail. He said he intends to “deal with the taxation issue” although he would not say if that means remitting full regional taxes from Squamishowned developments. Anyone trying to calculate what’s fair or unfair should also consider what his people have lost over the decades, Jacob said. He said they have not been properly compensated for the roads, bridges, sewer and water lines that have spliced and diced their land. “We have all kinds of intrusions on our aboriginal rights and title,” Jacob said. “We can look at what our people have given up for the benefit of everybody else.” He said the Squamish have a clear shot at becoming self-sufficient – which is important since their population is expected to double from 3,600 now over the next three decades. “If people want us to be a blight on the taxpayer forever, that’s not in our cards,” Jacob said. “The only way our nation can take control of our own destiny is by creating an economic engine. That’s what we’re attempting to do.”

Land development more lucrative than treaties B.C.’S FIRST urban treaty was struck with the Tsawwassen First Nation. But doubts are starting to grow as to whether there will be another deal in the Lower Mainland. The Squamish Nation has indicated it has no interest in pursuing a treaty – which would require it to relinquish its land claims and accept taxation of its members in exchange for cash and self-government benefits. The Lower Mainland Treaty Advisory Committee argues in a discussion paper the benefits provided by new reforms to foster reserve land development are too attractive and may deter First Nations like the

Squamish from negotiating treaties. “Some may view the economic gains from residential, commercial and industrial development on reserve to outweigh he benefits of completing a treaty, especially when the costs of treaty negotiations are considered,” it says. If more groups abandon the treaty path, the discussion paper notes, the legal cloud of aboriginal claims will remain over their entire traditional territories, ending hopes for landtitle certainty. Groups that sign treaties agree to give up their Indian Act tax exemptions over time and the deals also typically include own-source revenue clauses, which reduce the levels of ongoing financial assistance from Ottawa depending on how much revenue a band generates from its business ventures. B.C. Treaty Commission chief commissioner Sophie Pierre said LMTAC may have some legitimate concerns but said civic leaders need to recognize that urban bands with reserves in desirable locales may not opt to take the same approach as those in rural regions. “There are maybe two paths that are parallel but different,” she said. “These are all stepping stones toward full selfgovernment.” A major stumbling block to signing more treaties has been the federal government’s refusal to provide fishing rights in new agreements. Pierre said movement by Ottawa on that front could help win over lower Fraser River First Nations interested in a dedicated share of the salmon fishery.

By the numbers: A $300,000 condo would

pay these property taxes or fees that one located on reserve would not: • $470 – Metro Vancouver utility fees for sewer and water • $10 – Metro Vancouver regional property tax • $117 – TransLink property tax • $696 – City property tax (example: West Vancouver) • $396 – School property tax • Total: $1,689

Note: A host First Nation can charge fees to defray its own costs and could also raise tax and service equivalent amounts to remit to regional authorities, provided it agrees to do so.

Surrey North Delta Leader

Education a focus of business community Bike signs I AM WRITING to express the support of the

Surrey Board of Trade for Frank Bucholtz’s concerns over the underfunding of education in Surrey, as he wrote in a recent column. We were truly surprised, however, that he was unaware of the efforts of the business community, through the Surrey Board of Trade, to bring greater profile to the problem, as indicated in his closing comment, that it was “high time that the school district received more backing from city council, business groups, education groups and citizens in general.” On Oct. 19, 2010 we launched Education Today/Productivity Tomorrow, the educa-

tion funding shortfall awareness campaign, prepared by the Surrey Board of Trade jointly with School District #36, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Simon Fraser University, and the City of Surrey. This event was very well covered at the time by radio, television and print media, including The Leader. For many years now, the Surrey Board of Trade has advocated on these specific concerns when addressing the many standing committees of finance of the B.C. government (in preparation of their budgets). We have also expressed these funding con-

cerns on various occasions to members of the legislature and we raised this once more directly with senior officials of the ministry of education when we visited them in Victoria this past spring. The coalition continues to work to keep this issue before the legislators, as well as the public, and we certainly appreciate any additional help in moving the case forward. For more information on Education Today/Productivity Tomorrow, go to our website at www.businessinsurrey.com Nigel Watkinson, P resident Surrey Board of Trade

Productivity takes a holiday

THE RECENT proposal by Christy Clark for an additional statutory holiday reinforces my view that she is a lightweight contender for the leadership of the Liberal Party of B.C. Didn’t her former boss recently propose reducing income taxes starting in 2011 in a feeble attempt to raise his popularity? Hopefully, the electorate will see this initiative in a similar light. Who do you think pays the bill when so many employees needed to work on a statutory holiday are paid overtime for their work or are given a day off in lieu of the holiday? Who do you think pays for the loss of productivity and gross national product when millions of person days of productivity are lost through a statutory holiday? One of the reasons that Americans are more productive than Canadians is due to the fact that they receive fewer statutory holidays and vacations than do Canadians. Perhaps we should look carefully at the French who now suffer with street riots in their attempts to remedy their history of excesses in mandating statutory vacations, holidays and other very liberal employee benefits. British Columbia already has 11 statutory holidays, many of which

Delta Board of Education Chair Dale Saip’s backing Kevin Falcon’s scheme for a “merit pay” incentive program for teachers was published, I have been contacted by teachers, parents, and even an MLA who have all expressed concern about Mr. Saip’s comments, acknowledged by him as expressions of his own personal views. But his remarks haven’t been especially helpful, mainly because Mr. Saip is the recently re-elected chair of the Delta Board of Education. People are asking if Mr. Saip’s support for teacher merit pay represents a shift

I’VE NOTICED some new yellow

signs in Surrey. They say “Share the Road” and show a bike rider in front of a motor vehicle. As a bike rider, I’m wondering if this is the city’s way of avoiding creating bike lanes as a way of “going more green.” If these signs are supposed to give me a sense of safety, then I am afraid that is not going to happen. I think these signs are a waste of time and money and I would even go further and say they are insulting. I can’t think of any driver who would patiently drive behind a bike going 10 km/h. I ride in bike lanes, if there are any on my route, but I find the streets in Surrey are lacking bike lanes. I ride on sidewalks when there are no bike lanes, and that is the only way I am going to feel safe. As new roads are paved, bike lanes are included and I hope that one day people will be able to ride continuously on the road, safely, in designated bike lanes. If our city truly wants to encourage “green” alternatives to transportation, then sidewalks or bike lanes must be made available to riders.

You can’t pay for citizenship WHEN IT COMES to deciding

A letter writer argues that Christy Clark’s suggestion of an extra statutory holiday is a votebuying move that British Columbians will eventually have to pay for. don’t make sense. Why do we celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday? Why do so many of us get Easter Monday as a holiday? We would be better off converting

a small number of existing statutory holidays to general vacation that we could use when we so choose. Personally, I will continue to celebrate with my family day on the first Monday in sunny August

Mind your own merit Lines to the city

SINCE THE STORY about

mean little

in school board policy, or if his remarks are simply the affirmative musings of someone who sees political advantage in helping Falcon be elected premier of British Columbia. Mr. Saip is a long-serving Delta trustee. He would not have been elected or re-elected trustee, nor been re-elected to the position he presently occupies, without being judicious in his public remarks. Uttered by the chairperson of the board, expressions of personal opinion may be taken by some as official statements of board policy. For a “new idea,” merit pay is a tired concept that

has failed everywhere else it has been tried. Extrinsic incentive programs like this are divisive, with potential to harm employee relations at a time when all people of goodwill should be working together to meet the challenges of teaching and learning in the 21st century. I call upon Mr. Saip to give careful reconsideration to his endorsement of Falcon’s merit-pay incentive plan and to rescind his endorsement of it.

Paul Steer, President Delta Teachers’ Association

KUDOS TO Jill Singel and J. E. Steenson for their letters

regarding the property tax increase and illegal basement suites. It is so disheartening when the City of Surrey advises “we can’t do anything about it.” If the city had to hire a few people to actually do something the wages would be more than paid for by having homes pay for their illegal suites. My suggestion is that we all should continually telephone city hall bylaw enforcement at 604-591-4370 or the main line at 604-591-4011 numerous times each day until something is done. Call several times a day, every day, and maybe, just maybe, the city will get the message. S. McBain

whether illegal immigrants or human traffickers might make the best new Canadians, a case could be made for the traffickers. After all, illegal immigrants knowingly set out to pay and thereby corrupt others to act as accomplices in the breaking of our laws. The human traffickers on the other hand only see a business opportunity and supply a service. People with the initiative to establish a profitable, albeit illegal, enterprise would therefore appear to be slightly more preferable than people who set out to illegally buy their way into Canada. In reality, neither group should be welcomed. Citizenship guarantees hard fought-for rights, but citizenship also comes with responsibilities and one of them is to obey Canada’s laws. There are more than enough honest people in the world who want to come to Canada and are willing to abide by our laws right from the start. The federal opposition parties talk about the sanctity of the Canadian Charter of Rights without mentioning citizenship comes with responsibilities. Canadian citizenship is too precious to be bought by criminals.

Coptic churches on guard RCMP keep watch following Jan. 1 attack in Egypt

watch on two Coptic churches last weekend in light of a deadly attack in Egypt this month. RCMP say they assigned two officers to provide extra safety to people celebrating Orthodox Christmas at St. George and

Saint Mary churches in North Surrey. Twenty-one people were killed and about 100 others injured in Alexandria, Egypt Jan. 1 in an attack by a suicide bomber. RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said the police presence at local Coptic churches was out of an abundance of caution.

ABOUT 600 FEET of telephone cable was cut down from poles in North Delta last week, leaving residents without phone service for more than a day. At about 3 p.m. on Jan. 7, thieves sliced copper telephone wire, cutting off phone service in the area of Nelson View and River Road. The copper cable was found cut and stacked, and police believe the culprits were planning to come back for it. In the process, about 90 Telus customers were without service for about 15 hours. While the theft is expensive for Telus to repair, the company says it’s not its biggest concern. “What’s more concerning for us is until we can restore service, our customers are without 911,” said Telus spokesman Shawn Hall. Telus experienced about 200 cable thefts last year and the rate is holding steady, Hall said. The frequency of thefts tends to follow the price of the commodity and what scrap dealers will pay thieves for it. “Copper prices are up, the thefts are up,” Hall said. Telus is currently lobbying cities to create bylaws, much like the one in Surrey, requiring scrap dealers

Deluxe grow-op Building had own generator by Dan Ferguson

BELLINGHAM NONSTOP

TO HONOLULU

USD

$ ONE WAY

POLICE believe the new

barn that recently went up on a rural Langley property was custombuilt for growing marijuana. The building cost an estimated $300,000 to construct, plus another $100,000 for the equally new heavy-duty natural-gas-fired generator that was used to power grow lamps for about 600 plants. And it had several commercial-sized airconditioning units and featured specialized insulation and venting equipment designed to conceal the noise and characteristic pot odour. The generator was illegally connected to a

commercial natural gas line. The Surrey RCMP drug section raided the property in the 23400 block of 16 Avenue last Thursday (Jan. 6). As well as the plants, the officers seized two shotguns and one rifle. Four men in their 30s and 40s were arrested. Police are recommending charges of production of a controlled substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking, along with weapons charges and others relating to the theft of natural gas. Anyone with further information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

POLICE HAVE released

photos of two suspects involved in a violent robbery last month in Cloverdale. On Dec. 6 at about 12:50 p.m., two men entered a local pharmacy in the 5600 block of 177B Suspect #2. Street, confronted two employees, and demanded Oxycontins (a time-released opiate pain killer). Both employees were viciously assaulted and threatened with a knife before being forced to open the safe. The suspects are described as Caucasian males in their 20s, 5’8” to 5’10” tall and wearing dark, hooded sweat tops with the hoods up, dark gloves, jeans and running shoes. Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP Robbery Section at 604-599-0502.

Frosty drunk by Dan Ferguson WHEN YOU’VE had so

much booze you can’t handle scraping ice off a vehicle, you are definitely too drunk to drive, as one man found out in Fort Langley on Saturday night (Jan. 8). A local resident who saw the drunken attempt at clearing the windshield of a white van phoned police

around 9:30 p.m. While officers were en route, the driver got in the van, hit the gas, fishtailed and promptly collided with a tree. Local residents pulled him out and attended to his injuries, which were not life-threatening. A 37-year-old Surrey man is facing impaired driving charges. The van turned out to be stolen. newsroom@surreyleader.com

A PROPOSAL to track the assets of criminals

– and make them prove they purchased the assets legally – is part of a new public safety plan unveiled by provincial Liberal leadership hopeful Kevin Falcon. In his latest potential policy statement – designed to show what he would do if chosen by the party next month to be premier – the Surrey-Cloverdale MLA and Ocean Park resident suggested the province could partner with police forces to target proceeds of

Local governments, Falcon said, could receive half of all assets seized under proceedsof-crime legislation to support policing. “We want to make criminals prove that they purchased their assets with legal money,” Falcon announced Tuesday. “If they can’t, they should lose those assets and the funds should go toward helping honest taxpayers pay for policing in their

communities.” Falcon’s plan also calls for consideration of more prosecutors to speed up gang-related cases and convictions; pursuing mandatory minimum sentences with the federal government for restricted and prohibited firearms charges; and giving police rights to seize vehicles in which such weapons have been found. In the area of petty crime, Falcon calls for pawn shops to report all purchases and identities of those selling goods, and suggests curbing metal theft by requiring scrap metal dealers to report purchases to police and hold the materials for seven days. Falcon also suggests additional help for victims and frontline public safety teams, including adding acute cardiovascular disease and esophageal cancer to the disorders recognized as occupational diseases for firefighters.

West Coast Express extension to Abbotsford also deemed not cost-effective by Jeff Nagel

THE FRASER VALLEY needs to get – and pay for – a much higher level of bus service, but a rail transit service that would wind its way along the old Interurban line is not among the recommended options. A long-awaited provincial government review of Fraser Valley transit concludes a new commuter rail service on the Interurban corridor from Abbotsford to Surrey would cost $70 million a year – almost as much as a more urgently needed expansion in local, regional and inter-regional bus service that would take the current system from $11 million a year to $90 million. Providing premium express bus service on Highway 1 in dedicated lanes would be much cheaper than rail, review says, freeing up more money for the improved bus service, which is estimated to serve 20 times as many passengers. “Although an inter-regional railway service between the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver may be part of a long-term future, a strong foundation of local, regional and inter-regional services as presented in the Vision is an essential starting point.” A rail service all the way from Chilliwack to Surrey would cost $112 million a year, it says. That rail option cost is based on a peak-only service using heavy diesel trains like the West Coast Express – not the light-rail modern trams that Rail For the Valley fans contend could provide an all-day communityoriented service at modest cost. More passengers would likely be served using light-rail trains, the analysis shows, but at a higher cost of $108 million per year to Abbotsford and $176 million to Chilliwack. Rail For The Valley spokesman John Buker said the analysis is flawed and the results are “strongly biased” against light rail, particularly in terms of its ridership estimates. The report recommends a five-fold increase in local bus service in the Valley to 420,000 service hours over the next 20 years, up from 85,000 today. Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lines would let passengers board every 10

minutes or less on the high-traffic South Fraser Way and Yale Road corridors. Express bus routes using more comfortable highway coaches would link Abbotsford west through Langley along both the Highway 1 and Fraser Highway corridors to SkyTrain in Surrey or else Burnaby via the new Port Mann Bridge. Another express route would go north from Abbotsford to Mission and then west through Maple Ridge and on to the Tri-Cities. Others would connect Abbotsford to Chilliwack and Chilliwack to both Agassiz and Hope. The highway buses would range from service as often as every 10 minutes to hourly (to Agassiz) and five trips per day to Hope. Also envisioned are grids of interconnected frequent transit corridors – guaranteeing buses every 15 minutes, 15 hours a day. Those plans recognize the fact 80 per cent of all trips in the Valley are made by residents travelling in their home communities, so future service must be largely geared to local destinations, not commuting long distances across the Lower Mainland. Local transit service should increase from 350 per cent in Abbotsford to more than 600 per cent in Chilliwack, it says, much of it concentrated on the urban areas. Consultants also looked at extending West Coast Express 11 kilometres across the Fraser River into downtown Abbotsford. Various upgrades would be required, including new Abbotsford and Silverdale stations, new or expanded park-and-rides and a relocation of the Mission WCE station, along with transit tie-ins. But the $11.6-million annual cost of the Abbotsford WCE extension would be far greater than the proposed new express bus service to Mission, which would operate much more frequently (every 10 minutes at peak times, 20 minutes off-peak versus 30 minutes for WCE at peak times only, no service at off-peak times.) Ten per cent of West Coast Express traffic already comes from the Fraser Valley. About 6,000 daily passengers See RAIL / Page 19

Rail: Might get future consideration From page 17 board at Mission – 10 per cent of total WCE traffic – with about 56 per cent of them from Mission and 38 per cent from Abbotsford. The Interurban assessment assumed nine stations – four in Surrey, three in Langley and just one each in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Adding more, consultants said, would increase trip time and deter passengers. Since expanded rail isn’t discarded forever, the reports say rail corridors should be retained for a possible future service. Buker said rail lines shouldn’t be shelved. “There are some nice ideas presented of enhanced local bus service which deserve a closer look, but the hard truth is it is extremely doubtful that ridership will be high enough to sustain these levels of services without a light rail backbone,” he said. “If the Fraser Valley can support hourly, or even half-hourly, regional bus service, it can also support light

rail, whose operating costs over the lifetime of the vehicles tend to actually be lower, when all costs are taken into account.” The Strategic Review of Transit in the Fraser Valley was conducted by the transportation ministry in partnership with TransLink, the Fraser Valley Regional District and B.C. Transit and analyzed travel patterns across the region. It warns a paradigm shift in how local communities work together is needed as well as “dramatically different land-use plans” from what community plans now envision, with denser development along transit routes and more mixed uses. The vision requires “fundamental shifts” that may take up to 30 years to achieve, but it calls on all agencies to work to accelerate the implementation. Also needed are dedicated bus lanes, queue jumper ramps, and coordinated traffic lights to help speed buses through congestion on key corridors, such as South Fraser Way, Yale Road,

Highway 1 and Fraser Highway. Local cities and BC Transit are to work on shorter-term plans in the next few years to start delivering the 20-year strategy.

Dismal transit service, low ridership Just one per cent of trips made in the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) are on transit, compared to three per cent in Kelowna and Kamloops, eight per cent in Victoria and 11 per cent in Metro Vancouver. The findings of the province’s Strategic Review of Transit in the Fraser Valley show the region is woefully underserved by transit relative to other areas. The Valley gets less than 0.5 annual transit service hours per resident – one-third as much as Kamloops and Kelowna and one-fifth as much per capita transit service as Metro Vancouver. Even Alberta communities like Strathcona and St. Albert get more than twice as

much transit service as the Valley. Valley residents also pay less in property taxes for transit – just $4 to $14 per person compared to $26 in the Okanagan cities and $130 in Metro Vancouver. The existing transit system in the Valley needs steady revenue increases of 7.6 per cent per year from local, regional and provincial sources. Higher property taxes, fares, provincial contributions and “new revenue sources” will all be needed to deliver the needed cash. Adding a one-cent per litre gas tax in the FVRD – much less than the 12 cents charged in Metro Vancouver – would generate $4.1 million a year, the report shows, by way of example. The report notes TransLink’s fees and taxes could simply be extended to the Valley. Or, it says, a Valley transit commission could be set up like one in the Capital Regional District that charges a 3.5 cent per litre gas tax. “If the FVRD remains

outside TransLink’s service area, a relatively modest fuel tax would be able to provide an adequate funding stream to allow significant improvements to be implemented,” it says. “Without increased funding which is also more stable and predictable, the needs of the valley residents cannot be planned or developed in an optimum way.” jnagel@surreyleader.com

Approximately 180 Canada Line workers hired by operator Protrans BC certiﬁed with the BCGEU in August 2009.

Canada Line strike vote being tallied Union doesn’t plan any swift job action by Jeff Nagel UNIONIZED Canada Line workers are conducting a

strike vote this week to put more pressure on their employer to sign a first collective agreement. But B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) spokesman Brian Gardiner said there is no immediate intention to halt or disrupt rapid transit service. “There are certainly no disruptions planned at this point,” he said. “We want to make it clear to the employer our members are serious about negotiations and they want to get an agreement.” The vote was underway Tuesday and Wednesday and results may have been released Thursday, after The Leader’s press deadline, although that was at the union’s discretion. Approximately 180 Canada Line workers hired by operator Protrans BC certified with the BCGEU in August 2009. They include control room operations workers, attendants and maintenance workers. Gardiner said there have been many bargaining sessions, some with the help of a mediator, over the past year. “The talks have reached the point where the bargaining committee felt it necessary to get a temperature gauge from the members on whether the committee should have a strike mandate, if necessary,” he said. He would not discuss details of the negotiations, but said health and welfare benefits and pensions are among the issues on the table. Protrans BC, which is owned by SNC Lavalin, runs the Canada Line under a 35-year contract. The line connecting Richmond, Vancouver and the airport logs about 100,000 rides a day. The Canada Line isn’t the only arm of TransLink’s transit operations that could be embroiled in a labour dispute if bargaining fails. Bus drivers with the Coast Mountain Bus Co. are also now in contract negotiations, as are SkyTrain employees. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Brentwood living:

New homes offered in a vibrant community TRICIA LESLIE

You wake up to sweeping views of Burnaby, Vancouver and the North Shore mountains, the early morning light bathing the scenic vista with an ethereal glow. Taking a long, luxurious stretch, you try to decide whether to brew a cup of fresh coffee in your chic gourmet kitchen or to meet a friend for java at a nearby café before hitting the shops at the newly revitalized Brentwood Town Centre mall. With those extra holiday pounds in mind, perhaps you choose fitness over pleasure with a gruelling workout at Confederation Park and Community Centre, or maybe a long walk along the

trails of Deer Lake Park or Burnaby Lake Park. These are the kind of decisions faced by Perspectives homeowners every day. A new Ledingham McAllister highrise development in the North Burnaby

community of Brentwood, Perspectives offers brand-new one- to three-bedroom homes in a 33-storey tower in a dynamic neighbourhood that is central in Metro Vancouver. With its own fitness facility, conference room and outdoor terraced barbecue areas, Perspectives allows its residents to conduct many activities without even leaving their home. When they do leave, however, everything is within easy reach. From Brentwood Town Centre to local coffee shops, from fine cuisine to golf and

tennis opportunities, from retail centres to parks, from elementary schools to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, Perspectives homeowners can find what they need just a short walk or drive away. Downtown Vancouver is just 15 minutes away by car and only a 20-minute SkyTrain ride, while Costco is just a quick jaunt from home. Inside, Perspectives homes are roomy, designed to maximize each continued on page 3

Looking forward to 2011, I think generally, the mood is very optimistic. builders are conﬁdent ... some are planning multiple projects (single-family and multi-family) throughout the Lower Mainland. It will be ‘steady as she goes.’”

2011 set for steady starts, says Simpson continued from page 1

ate 22,258 full-time jobs for one year, directly and indirectly related to the (residential) building industry,” he says, noting the jobs cover everyone from builders and contractors to those creating and supplying the products needed to build new homes. “That’s based solely on that increase in starts.” Last year, Metro Vancouver’s newhome construction sector ended on a strong note, with 1,715 housing starts in December, the CMHC says. “An uptick in apartment condominium starts in Vancouver City, Burnaby and Port Coquitlam accounted for the year-end surge in homebuilding,” says CMHC regional economist Carol Frketich. In B.C., December’s seasonally adjusted rate of urban housing starts moved higher to 27,900 units, from Carol Frketich 19,000 units in November. Vancouver’s seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts increased to 21,600 units in December from 10,900 units in November, the CMHC reports. Overall, Simpson says many factors are helping the homebuilding industry, such as mortgage interest rates remaining historically low and migration to the region. “We have a very good migration rate to the province and the Lower Mainland, from other parts of Canada and abroad,” he says. “Looking forward to 2011, I think generally, the mood is very optimistic. Builders are confident ... some are planning multiple projects (single-family and multi-family) throughout the Lower Mainland.” While there is still some angst over the HST, Simpson says the related referendum and recall initiative have muddied the waters somewhat but notes that, thanks to industry partners lobbying together at all levels of government, the threshold where HST applies was moved from $400,000 to $525,000. Credit must be given to the government for listening to some of the concerns the industry has regarding the HST, he notes. In the new year, Simpson doesn’t expect huge fluctuations where housing starts are concerned. “It will be ‘steady as she goes,’” he says. “We won’t see any dramatic increases or decreases ... steady is good.”

…off the front: “Ledingham McAllister is the only builder/developer in Western Canada that has been building in the area for more than 105 years. It just goes to show that we have a proven track record in the area and are 100 per cent committed to this province.” Manuela Mirecki, LedMac senior vice-president of marketing continued from page 1

living space to its fullest. “The first thing people notice about these homes is how large and livable and spacious they are,” says Ledingham McAllister senior vice-president of marketing Manuela Mirecki. “There’s not one inch of wasted space.” Bedrooms can hold a king-size bed and a dresser, while the dining area easily fits a table set for eight, and the balconies are spacious as well, Mirecki notes. Located next to a protected stream and across the street from a threeacre park, Ledingham McAllister worked closely with the city to ensure the area’s original character was preserved as much as possible. Last year – during a time when other developers were cutting back on their building, or building smaller homes – Ledingham McAllister increased its commitment to Perspectives homeowners, Mirecki says, because although much of the building was already pre-sold, Ledingham McAllister upgraded many of its amenities. Now, a fully stocked billiards library with

a marble fireplace is available to Perspectives residents, and a stunning ‘spawning salmon’ multi-tiered water feature created by First Nations artist Jody Broomfield greets everyone who comes to the new highrise. Kitchens at Perspectives are a chef ’s dream, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and hand-set imported tile.

Bathrooms come with marble or limestone vanities, polished chrome, rich cabinetry, sparkling glass and stylish lighting. The reputation of the builder is important to homebuyers – and rightfully so, Mirecki says. “Buyers should be cautious. It’s their potential new home ... (Ledingham McAllister) is the only builder/developer in Western Canada that has been building in the area for more than 105 years,” Mirecki says. “It just goes to show that we have a proven track record in the area and are 100 per cent committed to this province.” The new homes – 215 tower homes and eight townhomes – range in size from 713 square feet to 1,345 sq. ft. and start from $310,900.

Two more losses drop Devils to fourth Junior B team falls to Ridge Meadows, Delta by Rick Kupchuk THEIR LONGEST losing streak of the

season has been extended into the new year. The North Delta Devils lost a pair of games in regulation time last weekend, falling 4-2 to the Ridge Meadows Flames last Friday in Maple Ridge, then dropping a 5-2 decision to the Delta Ice Hawks on home ice Saturday night at the Sungod Arena. Now with just a pair of overtime losses to show for their past seven out-

ings, the Devils have fallen from what was a three-way race for first place in the T om Shaw Conference of the Pacific International Hockey League, into fourth position in the five-team group. North Delta has now slipped to 19-12-4 (won-loss-overtime loss), and is a point back of the Grandview Steelers with 13 games to play. The Devils outshot Ridge Meadows 34-27 Friday night, but couldn’t find the net until the third period. The Flames led 2-0 and 4-0 at the period

breaks before Michael Nardi and Julius Ho tallied in the third period. Alex Ahnert was in the North Delta goal, making 23 saves. The Devils didn’t take advantage of a wide disparity in powerplay opportuntiies, scoring once on six chances but allowing the Flames to score the only time North Delta was shorthanded. Against the Ice Hawks the next night in the Sungod Arena, North Delta had a slight edge on their rivals from Ladner through the first 20 minutes, taking a 1-0 lead on a pair of goals

The Hawks, which outshot the Devils 35-13 over the final two periods, tied the game in the second period then blew it open with three goals in the final 10 minutes of play. Ahnert was again in the North Delta goal, stopping 44 of 49 shots. North Delta will host the Steelers tomorrow (Saturday) at 6:45 p.m. at the Sungod Arena.

United back on top

Surrey slips into ﬁrst place in Premier Division by Rick Kupchuk

FOR THE FIRST time this season, the defending Premier Division champions are back on top. The Surrey United Firefighters blanked ICST Pegasus 2-0 in a Vancouver Metro Soccer League contest Saturday afternoon at Cloverdale, a victory which allowed United to vault past the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves into first place. Coquitlam was upset 2-0 by 10th place Croatia FC. Surrey scored once in each half last weekend, taking the lead when Cam Wilson headed in a cross for his sixth goal to the season, then adding an insurance goal on a blast from Angus Burke early in the second half. Burke’s goal was his league-high 13th of the season. Andrew Proctor assisted on both scores for United, which improved to 13-2-2 (won-tied-lost), one point better than 12-4-2 Coquitlam. Paul Shepherd earned the shutout, stopping Jag Gill of Pegasus on a breakaway just before half time, one of several key saves from the Surrey netminder. Surrey is in Vancouver Sunday to face fourth-place Columbus FC. Pegasus fell to 7-3-8 with the loss, and are currently in eighth place. They kick off tonight (Friday) at 8:30 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park against Columbus FC. The two other Surrey teams in the 14-team Premier Division continue to battle to avoid relegation. The Punjab Hurricanes moved out of a relegation

position with a 4-2 victory over ICSF Inter Friday night at Tom Binnie Field in Whalley. Bobby Jhutty netted a pair of goals for the Hurricanes, including the winning tally with just three minutes to play. Pami Birring late in the first half, and Ryan Dhillon in injury time completed the scoring. The Hurricanes are 4-4-10 on the season, a point up on Akal FC. Akal fell 4-1 to Delta United Sunday night at Newton Athletic Park, Emmanuel Ayiku getting the lone goal for the Surrey side. Harpreet Khak, Gibson Bardsley, Mike Gomes and Oscar Jiminez were the Delta goal scorers, all four finding the net in the second half. Akal’s record dropped to 3-6-9, dropping them into 12th position. The Hurricanes are at home tomorrow (Saturday) evening at 6 p.m. against Croatia SC, while Akal will be in Coquitlam to face the first-place Wolves. Delta, which moved into third place at 11-1-5 with it seventh win in eight starts, is at home against the last place Serbian White Eagles Sunday at 2 p.m. at John Oliver Park. Q North Delta United dropped a 4-1 decision to the Abbotsford Mariners, with Dylan Meyers notching the lone goal. North Delta, in seventh place at 5-1-8, plays away from home tonight against the Port Moody Gunners. sports@surreyleader.com

Children’s entertainer Will Stroet performs in Delta this weekend – concerts that will feature songs in both of Canada’s ofﬁcial languages

The language(s) of music D by Kristine Salzmann

elta families have a chance to experience music in both of Canada’s official languages this weekend. The Delta School District and Canadian Parents for French–Delta Chapter are sponsoring two bilingual concerts with children’s musician Will Stroet. Stroet is a two-time Western Canadian Music Award nominee in the categories of Best Children’s Recording and Best Francophone Recording, and has performed at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games as well as numerous children’s festivals. The former French immersion teacher in Vancouver recently released a new album titled Walk ‘n’ Roll. He has also written two children’s songs on walking and booster seat safety for ICBC as part of its road safety curriculum available for B.C. teachers. Other themes he has based his songs around include animals, vegetables, sports and personal hygiene. “Most kids today have a more sophisticated taste in music than they are given credit for. So, I use interesting rhythms, rhymes and wordplay in my songwriting to connect with kids and their parents” said Stroet. Delta’s modern language coordinator Christine Carriou said the district is excited to have Stroet visit. “We’re offering something new this year to help promote French language-learning in a fun setting,” she said in the release. “And Will’s

music is fresh, interactive and fun while still being educational. He has great appeal for both kids and adults.” Carriou said the bilingual concert is a way for the district to work in partnership with Canadian Parents for French while at the same time provide a cultural event to the community and promote their French immersion program to families of preschoolers. Stroet and his Backyard Band perform Jan. 15, 1 p.m. at Delta Church (7696 112 St.) in North Delta and Jan. 16, 1 p.m. at Genesis Theatre (5005 45 Ave.) in Ladner. Tickets are $3 and available at École Ladner Elementary, École Cliff Drive Elementary, École Richardson Elementary and École Chalmers Elementary, or call 604-952-5058 to reserve tickets at the door. The district also has a number of information meetings coming up for parents interested in Delta’s early and late French immersion programs. Parents who want more details on early French immersion enrolment (for children entering Kindergarten) can visit École Richardson Elementary in North Delta Jan. 18, École South Park Elementary in Tsawwassen Jan. 27, or École Ladner Elementary Jan. 25, at 6:30 p.m. Application deadline is Feb. 4. Parents interested in the late French immersion program (for students entering Grade 6) can attend meetings at Chalmers Elementary in North Delta Feb. 2 or Cliff Drive Elementary in Tsawwassen Feb. 3 at 6:30 p.m. Application deadline is Feb. 25.

in college. Check, check. Living a perfectly ordinary life. Check. But she wants more. When an unexpected offer for just that – from a dashing millionaire, no less – falls into her lap, Becky embarks on a comic and poignant joyride that may change everything forever. Starring Deborah Williams (Mom’s the Word), Jackson Davies (The Beachcombers, The Producers) and Cavan Cunningham (Fitzy Fitzgerald from TV’s Corner Gas), Becky’s New Car, on tour from the Arts Club Theatre Company, will park at the Surrey Arts Centre from Jan. 18 to 29, with evening and matinée performances. “Not only is the play funny, but Becky’s

predicament is surprisingly provocative,” says director Rachel Ditor. “The play asks us to reflect on what it means to live life fully in your middle years when the stability and comfort you fought for can feel more like a weight than freedom. What do you do? Can you reinvent yourself? What are the costs of that? Becky allows us to laugh at ourselves, and to live vicariously through her adventures as we take a trip to that fantasyland that so many of us share from time to time in our lives: the magical what if…?” Becky’s New Car runs Jan. 18-29 at Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave. Tickets are $25-43 and are available by calling 604-5015566 or online at tickets.surrey.ca

A MESSAGE TO ALL RESIDENTS & BUSINESS OWNERS

Do you have a storm drain on or in front of your property? It is important to keep it clear, especially during melting conditions. Blocked storm drains may result in excess accumulation of water along the road area, a situation that could become dangerous if it subsequently freezes. It also helps reduce the potential for ﬂooding of adjacent properties depending on the extent of the blockage along with the amount of melting snow and rain fall.

efore Michele Goodsell boarded a plane to Haiti in November, she spent time speaking with other people who had been there on volunteer trips to prepare herself for her first visit to the impoverished country. However, the registered nurse said the devastation she encountered was far worse than she could have imagined. “When you say Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere, I don’t know what that really means to the averMichele age person,” Goodsell Goodsell said a month after returning home to White Rock. “It’s horrific the way the people are living.” Many Haitians are still living in tent cities – shelter that was supposed to be temporary after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck one year ago on Jan. 12. Those who don’t live in a tent are typically housed in modest 10-by-10foot structure. “As much as I hate to say it, you kind of get used to the smell of burning garbage, just filth everywhere.

One year after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake, many Haitians are still living in tent cities. who have passed on the side of the road, amongst garbage,” Goodsell recalled. In September, Goodsell spoke about her plans to visit Haiti with a group called Team Canada Healing Hands, providing rehabilitation care for children and adults. The group visited several orphanages over the two-week span they were in Haiti, treating spinal cord injuries, amputations and wound care, as well as providing health education to the locals. They also had the opportunity to do home-care visits, in teams of five healthcare professionals and an interpreter, which Goodsell said was the

most rewarding part of the trip. She recalled treating one young girl with cerebral palsy – among a host of other health issues – and said the experience was an eye-opener to the possibilities of how efficient healthcare could be in Canada. “We went into the home with the intent of doing as much as we could for this little girl,” she said, noting they spent about three or four hours treating her. “She came out probably having the equivalent of seven weeks of home care. “It was so rewarding as a nurse. That’s what we should be doing See HAITI / Page 47

Haiti: Hopeful, optimistic From page 46 in Canada. It takes going to a third world country to figure out what works.â&#x20AC;? Goodsell notes the trip wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all smooth sailing, however. The group arrived in Haiti just in time for Hurricane Tomas to hit, and were also there for the initial stages of a cholera outbreak, which Goodsell said was limited to specific tent city cholera zones. The political unrest resulting from suspected voter fraud during a presidential election that took place that month was more of a cause for concern for the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were manifestations occurring during the time we were there, so we had to keep our ear to the ground and see

if it was safe for us to travel to certain parts of the country,â&#x20AC;? she said. Despite the dangers, Goodsell said she will definitely go back to Haiti, and is planning on joining Healing Hands when the group returns next November. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also encouraging others to get involved, not just by supporting the country financially, but by finding ways to help Haitians to help themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If people are going to give money, try to give to organizations that support the thought process of empowering Haitians to learn and rebuild on their own,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to rebuild, but other areas are starting to fall behind. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hopeful and optimistic about the future.â&#x20AC;?

Flowers can brighten up the season one’s home, and the old-fashioned charm of these flowers was a match for any spring bouquet. In colder parts of the Lower Mainland, winter flowering Japanese cherry trees (Prunus Autumnalis) are rather fickle when it comes to early blossoms, but in Vancouver there is a row of them along Nanaimo Street north of First Avenue which actually starts flowering in November and continues almost non-stop until April. How many other trees do you know that tease you with colour for almost half the year? I have mentioned deciduous winter flowering Viburnum Pink Dawn so many times, but it is still one of my winter favourites. Its fragrant clusters of tiny pink blossoms just never seem to quit. It will throw out a few blossoms in fall, but from early February onward, more and more blossoms will open until this shrub is

a mass of pink through to April. We too often overlook a distant cousin of Viburnum Pink Dawn, the evergreen Viburnum tinus Spring Bouquet. It is full of white blossoms now that look exceptional when contrasted with its bronze buds and steel blue berries. I like Spring Bouquet because, if it is located in a protected, sunny location, it never seems to quit blooming. Its branches are nice to bring inside as cuts, and they make a great combination with fresh

daffodils. I have a great weakness for witch hazel, especially the fragrant yellow mollis. Cut a few branches from a vine for indoors, and your whole home will be filled with a most exotic perfume. Although they don’t have a great perfume, the orange variety, Jelina and the red Diane are a must for the home garden. By the way, surround the red ones with Snowdrops, and you will have the makings of an award-winning

greenscene

WITH THE exception of a couple of snow days, so far (touch wood) our winter has been wonderfully mild. This has prompted a wealth of flowering shrubs to add amazing colour to these dark, cloudy days. Many folks have yet to discover the beauty winter flowering shrubs can bring to our gardens. To me, a fragrant Chinese witch hazel (Hamamelis mollis), blooming in mid-winter, is more special than a whole row of flowering plums in May. Winter flowering shrubs provide that lift we need during those cold, grey days, and they bring a gentle reminder that spring is on its way. Let me unfold a chronological map of winter treasures that everyone can enjoy. The star-like yellow blossoms of Jasmine nudiflorum are open now and will continue to flower until midMarch. I recently saw an artistic bouquet of these branches in some-

Brian Minter

combination. One of the less known winter gems is the series of winter flowering Oregon Grape, or Mahonia. The variety Winter

Sun is in full bloom right now and is just as beautiful in sun or shade. As the last leg of winter turns the corner, a whole host of winterblooming shrubs celebrate its passing. Chimonanthus, or Wintersweet, will be in bloom soon, and its fragrant, light yellow/ stained purple flowers are a delight few gardeners have enjoyed, probably because it is so hard to find. I am very fond of Corylopsis pauciflora, or Buttercup Winter

Hazel. It is not yet in bloom, but it looks so neat in any landscape situation. If you plant some purple Wanda primulas or miniature blue Iris reticulata around its base, you’ll create another great combination. February daphne (Daphne mezereum) blooms faithfully for me each year after Valentine’s Day. Its perfume rates a “10”. Brian Minter is a master gardener who operates Minter Gardens in Chilliwack.
