$614,000 for Surrey school manager Former associate superintendent’s salary for 2009-2010 is released by Tracy Holmes

Brian Bastien

A FORMER associate superintendent with the Surrey School District was paid more than $600,000 for the 2009-2010 school year. According to a report provided to the Public Sector Employers’ Council (PSEC) by the district, just over one-fifth of the $614,382.37 given Brian Bastien was salary, $117,095.13. And while shock at the amount was quick to follow release of the information this week, Bastien Tuesday defended the total. “I think that people who look at that amount of money and don’t understand the circumstances might be questioning it,” the

Coquitlam resident said in an interview. Surrey Teachers Association president Denise Moffatt said she was among those caught off-guard, and that she will be asking the Board of Education to explain why the total was so high. “Certainly, we accept that in a situation like that, there would be a severance package,” Moffatt said Wednesday. “To see the amount be so high is certainly concerning and we’ll want more information.” Bastien said the sum includes three days’ service pay for each of the 18 years he was employed, cashed-out sick leave, unused vacation days, nearly a year’s salary and sever-

ance pay equivalent to 18 months’ pay. It also included retirement and vehicle allowances. Bastien left the district March 31. Asked if he was fired, Bastien said he and superintendent Mike McKay “had differing views on operational matters.” And while the district could have demanded he honour the balance of his contract, the school board believed a “separation/ severance option” was best, Bastien said. And he agreed. “It was a tremendous place to work for many, many years. But I was not unhappy to leave,” he said. See SEPARATION / Page 6

Moisan was shot in the face by a school buddy beneath Surrey’s Pattullo Bridge, the .38-calibre bullet remains lodged near his spine at the base of his neck. Doctors have told him it cannot be surgically removed for fear of paralysis. They have also told him that he could still become paralyzed if the bullet shifts. Moisan described his medical situation and the horror of seeing his two best friends murdered in a victim impact statement filed with the national parole board.

‘Adios’: then shot

Surrey North Delta Leader One parent told the board that after Arneil pleaded guilty to two counts of seconddegree murder and

one count of attempted murder, he smiled and pointed his hand like a gun at the families of his victims as he was

led away from court. In 1993, victim Moisan told The Surrey-North Delta Leader how he, Lussier and McDaniel were walking toward the Scott Road SkyTrain station to look for girls when a car screeched up. Arneil, 18 at the time, jumped out and confronted Lussier, telling him that his girlfriend had identified him as the boy who raped her. It was a lie, and Lussier told Arneil so. There was an argument, and Arneil convinced the three to stay where they were. “If you’re here when I come back Chris, then I’ll know you didn’t do it,” he said. “But if you leave and I come back and you’re not here, I’ll know you did, and I’m going to put a bullet in your head by noon tomorrow.” The older teen had a reputation for violence and a criminal record that included a conviction for assault with a weapon. But Arneil once shared a locker in school with Moisan, and they used to be friends. The three decided to stay put to prove Lussier’s innocence. Arneil returned, ordered the three into the car and drove them to a pile of dirt under the Pattullo Bridge. He then pulled a handgun from underneath his seat and ordered Lussier out of the car. The next thing Moisan heard was Arneil saying “Adios” and a single gunshot. Then Arneil shot Moisan. The wounded man remembered pleading for his life, throwing his hands up instinctively to shield his face, the sound of a shot and a ringing in his ears. Arneil then pushed Moisan out of the car. “I played dead,” Moisan told The Leader. “He thought I was dead.” Eight years later, the girlfriend would admit that she lied about being raped. Since July, the now35-year-old Arneil has been allowed to leave prison during the day to attend a drug and alcohol treatment program at an aboriginal treatment centre. The temporary leaves were allowed to continue even though Arneil violated his release conditions in October. He was transferred to a minimum security prison in 2007. dferguson@surreyleader.com

Separation: Was ‘without cause’ From page 3 “Given the circumstances, I didn’t want to remain. And because the separation was, without any question, without cause, then severance was paid to me, along with other entitlements that was owing. Unused vacation was definitely a factor.” According to the report filed to PSEC by Board of Education chair Laurae McNally, senior managers such as Bastien are entitled to 35 paid vacation days

per year; unused vacation days may be carried forward for one year only, and then must be either used in full, paid out or a combination of both. (McNally could not be reached for comment). Bastien said restrictions to the carry-forward limitation were only placed four or five years ago, and vacation days he had banked from previous years were grandfathered. Bastien said that as an associate superintendent, he was in

Snow Angels prep for weather Delta program matches elderly and inﬁrm with volunteers willing to shovel by Kevin Diakiw HELP IS ON THE WAY for elderly

or infirm Delta residents who find themselves socked in by snow this year. The Corporation of Delta is launching a new program called Snow Angels, where people who need their sidewalks and driveways cleared are paired with people who enjoy helping their neighbours. Matches will be made based upon where people live. Mayor Lois Jackson said the idea was hatched after the brutal snowfall of 2008. “The old school was you just helped Mrs. Jones next door, or down the street,” Jackson said. This will be Delta’s first year running the Snow Angel program. Volunteers are currently being recruited and there should be enough in place to serve potential recipients starting Jan. 4. If you would like to volunteer

and you have your own shovel and transportation, contact Delta’s volunteer coordinator at volunteers@ corp.delta.bc.ca or 604-946-3288, or complete a volunteer form. Volunteers will be required to pass a criminal record check with Delta Police before beginning service. For registration in North Delta, download a form at http://bit.ly/ hzdN8r If you need this service, call the Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre at 604-594-2717. The service is restricted to people aged 65 and older or who have physical disabilities and live in single family homes. Apartment and townhouse snow clearing is the responsibility of the landlord or strata council. Recipients of the shovelling services will not need to answer the door or converse with their Snow Angel if they don’t wish to. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Temporary Night-time Lane Closures Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project

Motorists are advised that during the month of January, 2011, eastbound traffic on the Port Mann Bridge may be reduced to one lane during the evening. These temporary lane closures are necessary to transport sections of the crane used to install the deck on the new Port Mann Bridge. Beginning at 9:00 p.m. most nights, Highway 1 eastbound between the Brunette Overpass and Johnston Hill will be reduced to one lane, the eastbound High Occupancy Vehicle lane, which will be open to all traffic. The two remaining lanes will be closed from the Cape Horn Interchange to Johnston Hill. All lanes will reopen by 5:00 a.m. each day. Trucks transporting sections of the crane will travel west in the closed eastbound lanes. This route will be well signed and speed limits will be reduced to 60 kilometres per hour while lanes are closed. Motorists are asked to watch for signs and obey posted speed limits. Closures are tentatively scheduled from January 4 to January 31, 2011. However, these dates are subject to change due to weather.

LETTERS

Surrey North Delta Leader 11

Let the Dachshund’s safe return is appreciated market decide I WISH to give thanks to a thief.

I AM writing to agree with letter writer Azaria Kahn that $8 an hour is not an adequate wage to live on in B.C. All the assertions are correct in the letter except one. It is not whether the government can afford to raise the wage, it is whether I, a small businessman in B.C., can afford it. Minimum wage laws only serve to distort the market. If your skills only command a low wage, improve your skills, don’t demand more money for the same work. If there was no minimum, the market would quickly determine the appropriate wage for any given job. Obviously there are people who can afford to work for $8 or McDonald’s would not have any employees. As an employer, offer too little and no one will work for you. That already is the case most industries around B.C.

My car with my mini-dachshund Nena (naynah) was stolen last Friday afternoon from the parking lot of Impact Plaza on 100 Avenue and 152 Street. This, on Christmas Eve day! My husband and I (a 68-year-old pensioner) got into action. We reported the loss to the local RCMP and walked home. I phoned radio stations, a TV station and wrote on craigslist about my loss. People came out of the woodwork in support of my plight, many of them emailing me telling me to be hopeful and wishing me well. One person even scoured her area of Langley with her husband later that day. Thank you so much, Clair. You are a stranger to me and yet you

went all out to help me. I did not sleep well that evening and Christmas was not looking to be a fine celebration. I walked back to the mall around 2 p.m. on Christmas Day (about 24 hours after the theft) and noticed a car of the same make and model parked on the avenue north of the parking lot. I raced to the vehicle and verified the licence number. It was my car. I looked inside and there was Nena, curled up and sleeping in the driver’s seat. We were able to take her home after the RCMP came to tow the vehicle and allowed us to remove her from the locked car with our key. We walked her home, where she ate double her

HERE IS my first annual Top 10 list for the new

year. The theme is how to survive a recession. 1. Housing - Move back home or find a roommate. 2. Employment - Create your own job by developing a program for a non-profit and applying to foundations, corporations and government departments for funding. 3. Communications - Cancel your land line, switch to a cheaper cellphone plan, and subscribe to an Internet fax service where your faxes are emailed to you. 4. Clothing - Purchase brand name clothing at Winners and outlet stores. 5. Grocery - Shop at discount grocery stores such as No Frills or Buy Low Foods. 6. Entertainment - Apply for a SCENE Visa and debit card or get a Netflix account and watch all the movies you want for $8 per month. 7. Internet - Check your email and surf the web for free at the library or buy a used computer from a store that offers follow-up service and repair. 8. Fitness - Start walking outdoors instead of paying to exercise at a gym. Stick to push-ups, pullups, sit-ups, and some dumbbell curls at home if you must have more muscle development. 9. Restaurants - Stick to affordable, healthy fast food such as Subway or a soup and sandwich from Tim Hortons. 10. Cards and gifts - Stick to e-cards and avoid the postage and cost of traditional cards. Send out lotto scratch tickets and gift cards to your family and friends. God bless and best wishes for 2011.

Tips for a thrifty new year

move forward is to give back. Surrey is definitely moving forward, as proved by the tremendous generosity of local residents, businesses and organizations this holiday season. Putting aside busy lives and economic concerns, hundreds of people unselfishly came forward to donate to others. Large teams of volunteers picked up items, registered families, and sorted toys to keep things running smoothly. Thanks to this support and hard work, 1,800 families received gifts, food vouchers, clothing and household items that made their holiday brighter and happier. On behalf of the board and staff of the Surrey Christmas Bureau, we express our appreciation to everyone who so freely gave donations, volunteered precious time and provided services. As we pack up the 2010 toy depot, we send a giant thank you to all.

food and she dove under her blankie on the couch and was snoring within minutes. She had been shivering with cold and was now warm again. I’m grateful that the thief returned the car and Nena to a place where we could easily find her. Not only that, I’m grateful that the thief’s actions spurred me into action, as I received an outpouring of support from friends and strangers. This showed me that people with open hearts are out there to give me support when I need it. I don’t like what you did, thief, when you took my car and my dog, but I’m thankful you returned them.

A letter writer offers some ideas for saving money in the coming year.

Surrey needs breed-specific dog law ANOTHER VICIOUS dog attack in

Surrey in which Elizabeth Zeek easily could have been killed if not for a rescue by others. My wife and were victims in March this year and have tried to convince the mayor and council to implement dangerous dog legislation

like done in other provinces. The results of our efforts were that we were not even granted a hearing or presentation at a monthly council meeting. Instead our request was referred to some committee. How long do Surrey residents have to keep up with these frequent

attacks? Do people have to be killed first before a ban on certain breeds is implemented? Pitbulls have a record of being the most dangerous and vicious dogs which will attack people for no reason. It is time Surrey follows the restrictions implemented in Ontario

where attacks drastically dropped after they changed the rules. Check www.DogsBite.org for the lists, however be prepared for some graphic pictures of dog bite victims. Pieter Spierenburg Surrey

Extra effort at hospital Political resolution I HAPPENED to go to Ridge Meadow Hospital for my dental surgery on

Dec. 3. After surgery, I was not in a condition to drive. That is why I had to leave my car in the parking lot overnight. The nurses and volunteers themselves took care of my car. They put a sticker on it to not move it until the patient picks it up. I want to thank those ladies for their efforts and help they showed towards me. Their behaviour and services were very much commendable. Sadhu Singh, Surrey

WHEN CHILDREN break a promise,

we take the time to teach. When friends break a promise, we deal with the disappointment. When lovers break a promise, we struggle with the hurt. When politicians break a promise, we hardly notice. Our expectations have been

dragged down to such a low level by self-serving political expediency. Now would be a good time for all political hopefuls to put “Always tell the truth” at the top of their list of New Year’s resolutions. Lloyd Atkins, Vernon

Ralston admits Delta pesticide bylaw now in effect phone error Commercial, agricultural and organic exemptions Black Press DELTA’S NEW pesticide use con-

trol bylaw is now in effect. The bylaw prohibits the use of chemical herbicides, insecticides and fungicides for cosmetic purposes, leaving only those used for agricultural and commercial purposes and to manage pests that transmit human diseases. Organic pesti-

cides are still allowed. The legislation has come into force one year after its adoption in November 2009. Delta council permitted a one-year period for staff to expand its education program and promote pesticide-free gardening to Delta residents, including through free sustainable gardening workshops at McKitrick Garden in North Delta and

other outreach activities. Delta also held a “Pesticide Drop-off Day” in October to encourage residents to bring by their unused and leftover pesticides to ensure they are disposed of properly. Another drop-off day is anticipated in the spring. For more information about the new bylaw, visit corp.delta. bc.ca

Small fines for forBusted guns, fishing protesters meth by Jeff Nagel MORE THAN 40 commercial fishermen have been fined $200 each for illegally fishing to protest unequal rules governing aboriginal fisheries in 2001 and 2002, but some say they won’t pay and would rather go to jail. B.C. Fisheries Survival Coalition spokesman Phil Eidsvik – one of the protesters who represented the group in court – said they will appeal the convictions and predicted some will defy the fines imposed Dec. 21 in B.C. Provincial Court. “A number of them have come to me and said ‘I’m not going to pay a fine because I’m the wrong race,’” Eidsvik said outside the Surrey courthouse. “We have here a prosecution and enforcement policy based on race,” he said. “By saying it’s okay to charge one racial group and not charge another, the court becomes somewhat complicit in that.” The original protests were staged to shine a spotlight on what the fishermen viewed as lax policing of aboriginal salmon fisheries on the Fraser River. Commercial fishermen were incensed they were largely sidelined in years of borderline sockeye returns, while native bands hauled in large catches of food fish. They contend First Nations food fish catches were and continue to be

routinely sold on the black market, while the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) turns a blind eye. The Lower Mainland commercial fishermen convicted included Conservative MP John Cummins (RichmondDelta East). Also in the group are JapaneseCanadian fishermen like Len Koyanagi, who was born in an internment camp during the Second World War and counts this as the second time he’s been wrongly punished by race-based federal policies. “We’re disappointed with the findings,” said Cummins, who was fined $300 because it was his second offence. He said he won’t be paying the fine on principle. “It’s outrageous that the court would be doing the department’s dirty work for them,” he said. Cummins hoped the judge would grant absolute discharges – leaving fishermen with no record – and send a message to fishery managers that “you cannot treat one group of Canadians differently from another.” Provincial Court Judge James Wingham rejected discharges, noting the protest fisheries happened at the same time native food fisheries were in progress and “created a situation where there was potential for conflict.” jnagel@surreyleader.com

Surrey North Delta Leader

New officer for B.C. RCMP Veteran Mountie from Alberta Black Press A VETERAN Mountie

from Alberta who has publicly defended the

force against calls for an independent provincial police force has officially taken over the RCMP in B.C. Assistant Commissioner Peter Hourihan has become the new commanding officer for the province, the RCMP has announced. He replaces Deputy Commissioner Gary Bass, who has been promoted to head of RCMP operations in Western Canada. Hourihan’s arrival comes as the B.C. government and RCMP are negotiating a renewal of the policing contract that sees the federal force provide province-wide services. The RCMP has held the contract since 1950,

when it took over from the B.C. Provincial Police, which was dissolved by the provincial government of the day. In Alberta, where the provincial government is also negotiating a renewal of its policing contract with the RCMP, Hourihan recently responded to an open letter calling for creation of an independent provincial police service with a letter of his own. “Alberta has a provincial police service which is founded and prioritized on community policing — that service is the RCMP,” Hourihan wrote in a Calgary newspaper. “The RCMP in Alberta is accountable to Albertans and

their governments.” The 53-year-old married father of two has 34 years of experience in Saskatchewan, the

Northwest Territories, Ottawa, Manitoba and most recently in Alberta, where he was criminal operations

officer for the entire province. His policing experience includes a wide range of duties.

A formal change of command ceremony will take place on Feb. 11, 2011. newsroom@surreyleader.com

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Daniel Igali lights the Olympic cauldron in Holland Park as the torch run for the 2010 Winter Games passes through Surrey.

Happy FEBRUARY – More than 24,000 people descend on Surrey’s Holland Park to await the arrival of the Olympic torch. As night falls, Olympian and Hall-of-Famer Daniel Igali runs the torch in amid the roar of the crowd. For more than two weeks, the park is a gathering site for celebrating the 2010 Winter Games, with live entertainment, activities, and live coverage of the competitions. MARCH – Surrey’s Simon the Roaming Gnome is taken on yet another trip – this time to enjoy Olympic festivities – by the mysterious Man in Hoodie. – Bhai Sarwan Singh breaks his own Guinness Book of World Record for having the longest beard at 7’8”. – The Clayton Heights Night Riders advance to the B.C. Senior AAA boys high school basketball tournament for the first time in school history. APRIL – More than 100,000 people converge on Newton for the annual Vaisakhi parade, which celebrates the birth of the Sikh faith. MAY – Tens of thousands of visitors come to the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair over the May long weekend. Continued on NEXT PAGE

JUNE – Playing in the B.C. high school Senior AA girls championship game, the Burnsview Griffins lose their starting goaltender to injury. But Megan Andreasen, a Grade 10 player, goes in goal and stops two shots in a shootout, lifting Burnsview to a 1-0 win over the Carihi Tyees – and a provincial soccer championship. JULY - Surrey’s Matt Jarvis wins more than $800,000 and is one of just nine poker players to qualify for the World Series of Poker. In the November competition, Jarvis is eliminated and comes in eighth, but still takes home more than $1 million. – About 100,000 people stream into Surrey’s Holland Park to take in the city’s increasingly popular multicultural Fusion Festival. Weekend attendance is almost double last year’s 60,000 turnout for the two-day event. – Surrey radio host Jasbir Singh Romana is flooded with calls when he asks listeners to talk about their love for Canada. – More than 100,000 people celebrate Canada Day at the Cloverdale Millennium Amphitheatre AUGUST – Asianna Covington, 15, wins two gold medals at the Legion Canadian Youth Championships track-and-field meet in Ottawa. The Surrey resident places first in both the discus and shotput events. – A staggering number of sockeye salmon – initially estimated at well over 30 million – return to the Fraser River. Fish-crazy folk book off sick to hit the river, processors work overtime, and commercial fishermen finally pull in a catch worth celebrating. It is an amazing and welcome reversal from 2009, when fewer than two million sockeye returned, triggering a judicial inquiry. SEPTEMBER – The Newton Cultural centre opens, providing much-needed rehearsal and performance space for local arts groups. OCTOBER – Surrey United wins a bronze medal at the national women’s soccer championships in Prince Edward Island. The B.C. champions don’t lose a game, winning three and tying one.

Informed JANUARY – The Surrey School District announces it will face a budget deficit of about $12 million and that serious cuts to school programs and services will have to be made. – Surrey and Delta both reveal which schools will have full-day kindergarten in the fall – and which ones will have to wait until September 2011. – New president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple discovers the Scott Road gurdwara is $450,000 in debt and that some financial records have been destroyed. FEBRUARY – Surrey takes an unusual approach to designing its communities. Called TownShift, it employs the work of the private sector by way of a contest to come up with a design vision for Surrey’s town centres. MAY – After losing millions of dollars annually to metal thieves, Surrey slams the door on businesses that buy the valuable copper wire. All scrap dealers must now record

parliamentary financial statements show local Members of Parliament rang up $1.9 million in spending during that fiscal year. Topping the list is Russ Hiebert, the Conservative MP for South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale who charged $637,093 during that year, the second-highest amount in Canada. All four local MPs say they support an audit of MP’s expenses. OCTOBER – A Leader review of gun registration statistics in Surrey and Delta shows which community is most likely to report lost or stolen weapons (Surrey) and which has the higher percentage of registered gun owners (Delta). NOVEMBER – Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says she will rule out a run for the B.C. Liberal leadership and will instead focus on city council. The announcement comes as a surprise to many political pundits who believed the premier’s job was hers for the asking. JANUARY – Steve Fonyo is stripped of his Order of Canada

Each transaction is linked to that personal information about the customer and is available to police or city bylaw officers. JUNE – After weeks of battle with the city, a sex novelty shop that screens adult movies shuts its doors for good. When owner Tony Perry’s licence was revoked, he hired a lawyer and prepared for war. In June, his lawyer said he would probably lose in court, so Perry locked his doors and walked away. JULY – Delta legalizes and establishes regulations for secondary suites in single family homes. September – Negotiations are under way to bring the Vancouver Whitecaps FC to Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino. The city is in discussions with the team about locating a soccer training facility on the city-owned property, currently home to the harness racing track, casino and the annual Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition. OCTOBER – Surrey has the second highest government-imposed charges on new homes, as municipal, provincial and federal fees now make up almost $87,000 of the cost of a $500,000 home. That 17.3 per cent is second only to Vaughn, Ontario, which has 17.9 per cent. The figures come from a 2009 report prepared by Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. DECEMBER – After a quartercentury of staying out of the red, Surrey is borrowing close to $200 million over the next five years to finance a lengthy list of capital projects in the city.

Shocked APRIL – Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts is in a serious car accident in South Surrey. Watts sustains internal injuries, as does the woman driving the other car. Police rule the collision was no fault of the mayor’s. AUGUST – The future of both standardbred racing at Fraser

Laura Szendrei, 15, dies from the injuries she suffered during an attack in North Delta’s Mackie Park. Downs in Cloverdale and thoroughbred horse racing at Hastings Park in Vancouver is in question after government officials confirm they are thinking about consolidating both types of horse racing at one of the two tracks. – Serial killer Robert Pickton’s conviction is upheld by Canada’s high court, unleashing a flood of new revelations not yet made public. Among them is the tale of how one sex-trade worker escaped from Pickton’s farm after a bloody knife fight in 1997 that left both of them barely alive. By fall, the province announces a public inquiry into how police failed to catch him sooner. SEPTEMBER – 15-year-old Laura Szendrei dies after being attacked in North Delta’s Mackie Park. OCTOBER – Former Delta municipal engineering director Kip Gaudry, already facing child por-

nography charges, is arrested for a 1973 indecent assault in Winnipeg. In November, Gaudry pleads guilty to one count of possessing child pornography. – A poll reveals there are approximately 4,000 homes in Surrey with multiple secondary suites. The city does not allow multiple suites in a home, but many critics say the prohibition is not enforced.

Learn something JANUARY – International sledge hockey comes to the Surrey Sports and Leisure Complex when Canada hosts Korea in a three-game series. Canada wins all three contests, which are warm-up matches for the Paralympic Games tournament, set to take place two months later in Vancouver. MAY – Figures from 2008-2009

after well-publicized struggles with alcohol and cocaine. The amputee received the honour for his historic 1984 cross-Canada run for cancer research, completing the journey Terry Fox began but was unable to finish. The decision to revoke it rankles many readers. APRIL – Transportation minister Shirley Bond comes under fire again over whether the Pattullo Bridge will be tolled once the span is rebuilt. Other politicians say the spectre of residents having to pay to cross all three bridges to Surrey – the Golden Ears, the new Port Mann and possibly the new Pattullo – is deeply unfair. MAY – Good Samaritans Saul and Chris are attacked with a knife and nearly killed when they come to the aid of a woman after they say they witnessed her being backhanded by her boyfriend. June – The Fight HST initiative to defeat the Harmonized Sales Tax handily gathers enough signatures from Surrey ridings – and the rest of B.C. – for campaign leader Bill Vander Zalm to declare victory. SEPTEMBER – Surrey Mounties begin enforcing new impaired driving regulations that allow longer roadside suspensions and hefty fines. OCTOBER – TransLink ponders a vehicle levy that would add to the cost of owning a car. The idea is shelved as too complex to pursue this year, but the levy and other transit-funding options will be considered in 2011. – Delta Police introduce “Caber” the first Canadian trauma dog trained to offer reassurance and solace to victims.

Cleevely after his story appears in The Leader. AUGUST – Pakistani singer Ghulam Ali appears on radio station 93.1 ReD (Reflecting Ethnic Diversity) FM to raise money to assist flood victims in his home country.

The geothermal structure can operate in reverse and function as a cooling system as well. JUNE – A huge drop in the amount of trees cut in Surrey is being attributed to a sluggish economy and a drop in local developments in 2009. Between 2001 and 2008, Surrey was issuing permits to cut down about 10,000 trees annually. In 2009, that number dropped to 4,662. OCTOBER – Surrey announces it will reduce its carbon footprint by 20 per cent in the next decade. Council endorses a plan that outlines how city hall will reduce its Green House Gas emissions over the next 10 years.
