Ombudsperson criticizes FHA for forced move at Surrey facility

Care home seniors treated unfairly: Report

New Pattullo: What kind of crossing do you want?

by Jeff Nagel B.C.’S OMBUDSPERSON is scolding

the Fraser Health Authority for forcing seniors to move from a Surrey care home in 2009, despite written assurances they could stay. Kim Carter concluded Fraser Health treated residents at Newton Regency care home unfairly when it reneged on its earlier 2008 promise that they would not have to leave their temporarily funded beds. “A commitment voluntarily made by a public agency is something which should be taken seriously and that people should be able to rely on,” Carter said. Fraser Health agreed to apologize to the affected 39 seniors and their families. Carter’s investigation was triggered after Kim Carter three families complained to the Ombudsperson’s office. Fraser was closing temporarily funded beds in care homes in 2009 to save money and decided it could no longer wait for beds to empty through attrition. It left upset and concerned residents with a difficult choice: Move to a care facility they didn’t want that had a space; wait for a bed to open up at a different facility they preferred; move back into the community with home support; or pay much more for a private bed at Newton Regency.

When a new Pattullo Bridge opens in 2018, Surrey’s mayor wants a six-lane crossing. But many in New Westminster fear that would result in too much trafﬁc being funnelled into that city.

TransLink seeking public comment on design options for new span by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK AIMS to open a new and presumably tolled Pattullo Bridge

by 2018 and it now wants public comment on design options. The two-year consultation process getting underway is shaping up to be a tussle between Surrey and New Westminster over how big a bridge is needed. Surrey’s mayor has demanded a six-lane bridge – which TransLink also leans toward – but many in New Westminster fear it would pour too much traffic into their already congested city, resulting in gridlock. Some suggest the bridge be angled further northeast to bypass New Westminster altogether and connect better to Coquitlam and Highway 1. That option has been ruled out, TransLink roads director Sany Zein said, because Burnaby- or New West-bound traffic would have to detour too far, more roadwork would be needed and the river there is wider, doubling the bridge’s price. He said TransLink’s base case calls for a six-lane bridge – four lanes for general purpose traffic and two reserved for trucks. “We are building a structure that will serve the region for the next 100 years and we are looking at two growing cities on either shore,” Zein said. “We believe the growth is coming regardless.” Trucks would stay in the outside goods movement priority lanes,

which TransLink would connect to Major Road Network routes. Trucks would be discouraged from taking local streets. TransLink rules out banning trucks from the bridge, saying it has a mandate to ensure goods movement through the region. The new Pattullo would connect to King George Boulevard, Scott Road and the South Fraser Perimeter Road on the Surrey side, and Royal Avenue, McBride Boulevard and Columbia Street East on the New West side. Once public input is in, TransLink would decide on a configuration and move to detailed design work and an environmental assessment, followed by a construction start in 2016. If all goes well, Zein said, the bridge might open in late 2017, but added 2018 is the target. The cost is estimated at $800 million to $1 billion, depending on connection options. As for whether the new bridge will be tolled, Zein said tolls are a “backstop” and plenty of time remains to explore finance alternatives. Asked how a new bridge can be designed without knowing whether it will be tolled or free – becoming a magnet for toll-dodging Highway 1 motorists – Zein said design modelling is being done on the basis the bridge is tolled, in absence of other funding.

Cassidy’s Craft Campaign kicks off third year Surrey girl’s vision now helps young patients at two hospitals by Sheila Reynolds HER DREAM has provided many sick

children with hours of enjoyment. And that was the whole point. Before she passed away two years ago, Surrey’s Cassidy Briggs had a vision: to raise funds and collect arts and crafts supplies for B.C. Children’s Hospital’s (BCCH) oncology ward. Diagnosed with liver cancer just before her eighth birthday in 2008, Cassidy knew what it was like to spend long periods of time in hospital. An avid artist herself, she often noticed there was little for young patients to do during their often-lengthy and difficult treatment. Cassidy lost her 23-month battle with cancer Cassidy Briggs on Jan. 11, 2010, but her family and friends honoured her wish by launching the annual Cassidy’s Craft Campaign. Now in its third year, the campaign began on Valentine’s Day and will continue until March 2. Due to the success of the last two campaigns, craft supplies are now provided to Surrey Memorial Hospital’s pediatric oncology ward as well as BCCH. It’s hoped the effort will expand further to Victoria General and Kelowna hospitals in the future. Donations to Cassidy’s Craft Campaign can be made online at https:// www.cassidybriggsfoundation.com/ Donate.html or by sending cheques made out to the Cassidy Briggs Foundation to 17790 #10 Hwy., P.O.

Surrey’s included expansions at two crowded high schools: Fraser Heights Secondary, which has 16 portables.

Concerns raised over slow school construction Months after funding announced, building has yet to begin by Sheila Reynolds A GROUP of Surrey school advocates is wondering what’s holding up con-

struction of new space in the school district. While capital funding was announced with great fanfare three-and-a-half months ago by Premier Christy Clark, shovels have yet to break ground, says the Ad Hoc Committee Advocating for Surrey Schools in its latest bulletin. The group, made up of representatives from the city, business community, teachers union, CUPE, parents advisory councils and students, says it’s concerned about the length of time involved in the “back and forth” communications between the school district and Ministry of Education. The committee has asked Education Minister George Abbott and Surrey-Cloverdale MLA and Minister of Finance Kevin Falcon to look into the capital project process and “its effectiveness/appropriateness in addressing the urgent needs of our growing school district.” It was last Halloween when the province announced funding for 19 school building projects – eight of them in Surrey – worth $300 million.

Surrey’s included expansions at two crowded high schools: Fraser Heights Secondary, which has 16 portables and Panorama Ridge Secondary, where there are 14. Also targeted were two new elementary schools in the rapidly growing neighbourhoods of South Newton and East Clayton and money to buy land for four new schools – two elementary and two secondary. The new high schools are needed to relieve overcrowding at Earl Marriott Secondary and Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary, which both adopted staggered timetables last fall to accommodate excess students. There are currently about 250 portables at Surrey schools. Surrey Board of Education chairperson Laurae McNally says the school district wants to get construction rolling and points to the province – not the Ministry of Education, but the treasury board – for the sluggish progress. The NDP has also called on the Liberals to “get their act together” and give Surrey the go-ahead to start construction. Abbott has said the Surrey school projects are not delayed and while it would be nice to have schools built overnight, proper planning processes take time.

Group worried about “back and forth” communications between school district and education ministry.

Fraser trail network gains new park in Surrey 12-acre greenspace being created along the Fraser River by Jeff Nagel A 12-ACRE park being created in Surrey

Surrey’s newest park will be located between 182A Street and Golden Ears Way.

along the Fraser River is the latest piece being dropped into the larger Experience the Fraser project that aims to open a network of contiguous riverside trails from Hope to the Salish Sea. The forested land on Parsons Channel bought by the City of Surrey includes two fish-bearing creeks and will offer

viewpoints overlooking the river. Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner said the new park, located between 182A Street and Golden Ears Way, will attract people from around the region and provide a key Surrey chunk of the Experience the Fraser vision to “enhance recreation opportunities and create a thriving park system along the river.” More than 43 per cent of the 550 kilometres of planned trails for Experience the Fraser are already in place, mostly in existing parks or along dykes. The ultimate vision is for twin trails – dubbed the Canyon to Coast Trail – running on both sides of the river throughout the Lower Mainland, ending in Steveston and the Tsawwassen ferry terminal.

Surrey Bend Regional Park, Westminster Pier Park, the Pitt River greenway and the Matsqui Trail to Fort Langley are expected to be key sections in the 160-kilometre corridor. Users could take side trips on linking trails into areas like the Kanaka Greenway or Sumas Mountain Regional Park. Connections with the Sea-to-Sky and Trans-Canada trails are also envisioned. The Experience the Fraser trails would connect heritage and First Nations cultural sites, amenities like campgrounds and other destinations, from museums to farm gate stores. An initial concept plan was endorsed last fall by the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional district boards.

FHA: Accepted report’s recommendations From page 3 Carter’s report said Fraser Health could not explain what it did, if anything, to assess the health and safety risks the move might pose to the dozens of frail and elderly residents. Her report said most of 331 residents in temporarily funded beds in Fraser Health in 2009 were not informed the funding was going to run out. Carter concluded the plan to cut funding at Newton Regency was “administratively convenient and costeffective” for Fraser but was not flexible enough for residents, who were given 49 days to get out. In her report, titled “Honouring Commitments”, Carter issued a series of seven recommendations. Besides issuing an apology, she recommends Fraser

Health provide at least 60 days notice of decisions to stop funding beds and ensure operators give notice. Residents should also be informed if an offered placement is permanent or temporary and the difference should be explained. Fraser Health CEO Dr. Nigel Murray said in a response letter the authority accepts the recommendations and has implemented most of them. He said cutting nearly $160 million from Fraser’s budget in 2009 had “very significant and personal impacts” on the lives of affected residents. Residents placed in temporarily funded beds are now told of the implications when they are placed. jnagel@surreyleader.com

RIOT CASES

Court TV not justice

RAESIDE

ancouver Provincial Court Judge Malcolm MacLean was correct to block the B.C. government’s application to televise the trials of the people charged in the Stanley Cup riot. While premier Christy Clark and the government lawyers argued the case was an attempt to improve transparency of the justice system, it was really more about humiliating the people accused of trashing downtown Vancouver so as to discourage others from doing the same in the future. It was, after all, the second hockey riot in Vancouver in a generation, the previous occurring in 1994. Some cynics have suggested the TV proposal was an attempt to exploit, for political purposes, the wave of outrage and revulsion inspired by the events of Wednesday, June 15, 2011 after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, an event marked by a riot that caused nearly $4 million in damages. So far, about four dozen people have been charged with participating in the violence – a large portion of them Surrey residents. Broadcasting their testimony in court would give everyone a chance to see exactly what they look like. It would clearly identify them to their friends, neighbours and employers who might not wait for the court to decide if they were guilty. Mob justice for a mob, you might say. Much like medieval times, when the same goals of humiliation and deterrence were accomplished by placing someone in a pillory, a device that locked a person’s head, hands and sometimes feet in a hinged wooden board and left them like that in a public place for several hours. Passers-by were expected to contribute to the experience by taunting the people in the pillory, jeering and mocking them and pelting them with rotten eggs, fish, mud and other unpleasant, smelly things. The practice fell out of fashion because mobs have been known to lose control and inflict harsher-than-intended punishment, a prospect that seems to have escaped the people who supported what has become known as “Riot TV.” There is a case to be made for video coverage of Canadian court trials to improve transparency and give the public a better sense of the process. The Stanley Cup rioters do not represent that case. – Black Press

s MLAs resumed their raucous legislature arguments over a municipal auditor-general, the B.C. government’s own watchdog cut through the noise with a devastating audit of the state of Crown forests. Auditor General John Doyle’s survey of the province’s vast forest comes at a critical time. A team of forest ministry experts is examining the situation at Burns Lake, to see if the Babine Lake Forest Products sawmill can be rebuilt, after a tragic explosion and fire on Jan. 20. Babine was one of a string of high-volume mills along Highway 16 in northwestern B.C. that have been working their way through the enormous stock of decaying pine that surrounds them. The “shelf life” of these trees is estimated to extend to 2019, but that’s a bestcase scenario. In reality the expanse affected by pest and disease is much more complex. The B.C. government touts its “Forests for Tomorrow” program that started in 2005 with a boost of federal funds to restock B.C.’s burned and beetle-killed forests. More than 14 million

to rebuild Babine. Simpson says the industry knows the answer. Two of the world’s highest-capacity sawmills are at Houston and Vanderhoof, on either side of Burns Lake, and their huge salvage log supply is degrading and running out. A political intervention to “save” the Burns Lake mill would only take shifts away from others. An alternative would be to make Burns Lake a proving ground for bioenergy, to deal with the huge mass of trees that will never make lumber. Finally, a bright note for Burns Lake. The people and the economy are adapting. A job fair in the village offered entry-level as well as skilled positions at the Houston and Vanderhoof mills. There are more positions on offer at the Mount Milligan and Huckleberry mines and Enbridge, which has gas, solar and wind projects on the go.

Accessible New meter technology means higher bills legal advice is vital for immigrants I REMEMBER when electricity was a cheap com-

ACCESSING FREE legal advice

can be a barrier for many members of the community. Accessing such information in languages besides English can be even more difficult. To fill this gap in the community, the South Fraser Legal Resource Centre has partnered with the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Society to host a weekly legal resource clinic for the South Asian community. The clinics will be a free service to those wishing to obtain information and resources in the areas of family, poverty, and immigration law. The legal educator will provide all services in English and Punjabi. Educating immigrant populations is important, as their understanding of the Canadian legal system may be limited and may differ from the legal system in their home of origin. Within the City of Surrey there is a vast South Asian community, many of whom are immigrants to Canada. It is vital that culturally competent legal services and resources be available to them if they are facing a legal issue. Many immigrants are reluctant to access mainstream services because of their limited English skills. Often, faith organizations and places of worship are considered a safe haven for immigrants. As such, we believe that a partnership with the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara was an appropriate partnership to reach out to the South Asian community. The legal educator from South Fraser Legal Resource Centre will run clinics every Thursday (from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) at the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara. Community members may attend the clinic on a drop-in basis (appointments are not required). To learn more, visit www.gnsg. ca or call 604-598-1300.

modity. Heck, we had lots of flowing water to make dams and generators. From what I can remember, I think the old WAC Bennett had something to do with it. Somebody was thinking ahead. Seems like all the B.C. residents paid for it through taxes of the day with the promise of cheap power for generations to come. Of course the meters of that time might have been calibrated on the low side to make sure no one was over-charged, because accuracy wasn’t as important as making sure Joe Homeowner got some kind of bill. So fast-forward to today. The powers that be have adjusted and tinkered with what we should

be paying and that has become the new price the taxpayers should pay. Then, after that battle with the regulators on the new pricing, we have these new smart meters that are much more accurate. I am thinking this new metering technology has been forced upon us because it will raise each and everyone’s electric bill. Well, maybe time will prove me wrong.

What is all the fuss about?

Okay, I had to reset a few digital devices. However, I can attest that the sun did come up the next morning and I am still having difficulties getting past Wednesday’s New York Times crossword. Other than that, all goes well. I asked the installer when he rang my doorbell to advise me of the installation, “What if I said no?” He said he would simply leave my old meter there and move next door. Sounds democratic to me. So as I see it, what is the fuss? Oh and to the critics, I hate to break the news, but the Earth is round and revolves around the sun. But who knew?

I HAD my smart meter installed just this week.

Total power disruption was about two seconds.

RCMP a community police force THERE WAS much discussion

recently on municipal police versus the RCMP. I would like to say thanks to the RCMP for being a community police force. On Feb. 10 I called my 70-yearold brother, as I had done daily for the past two years, to see how he was doing. He has COPD and is on oxygen. I did not get an answer, nor his answering machine. I phoned two more times, allowing for 10 rings on his phone and still no answer. I had no vehicle and therefore wondered how I could check on his status. I then decided to phone the RCMP, which took my report. I asked that if they were in the area, could they check on my brother? Fifteen minutes later I received a call from a Const. Briggs who reported they were at my brother’s home and he is doing fine. It happened the phone lines in the area had been down for quite some time. So my thanks go out to the RCMP and this constable, who as far as I am concerned, demonstrated that they are a community force. FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER

A Victorian stands up for Surrey WITH ITS unreal expectations and

inflated sense of entitlement, is it really a wonder that Victoria is seen, by most of the country, as possessing a spoiled-brat behaviour? The city has become more egocentric and narcissistic than it ever used to be. It has become very clear to Victorians that have lived elsewhere in Canada, braving the great unknown, venturing off the island. Print and online comments are embarrassing. One recent letter to an editor slagged Surrey as an example not to achieve. Contrary to that opinion, Surrey is one of, if not the fastest-growing municipalities in the country, and is considered vibrant and safe by residents and businesses alike.

Victorians think the universe revolves around them, well at least the country, with a deluded sense of their own fabulousness,

and believe they are more clever, more talented and more attractive than they actually are. They have trouble accepting

Great things in store RE: “I AM someone’s daughter,” The Leader, Feb. 9.

Thank you for the sad story of Satnam and her young baby girl – this is a tragedy that should never happen in this day and age. I am unsure if Satnam lived in Surrey or if she resides in India, but regardless of that fact, a life is a life that must be protected, no matter the sex. If this happened in Surrey, I hope that the matter will be severely dealt with and the perpetrators punished – it is a crime against two lives – that of the mother and her unborn baby, who lived through all of the abuse and trauma. That little baby girl and her mother are destined to do great things in the future. I hope that the Canadian government will address this issue which is still prevalent in our society today. Thank you for raising the profile of this sad situation. Deanna Fernandes, Surrey

criticism and extending empathy because they are so preoccupied with themselves. And most tragically, they blame others for their shortcomings, which includes crumbling infrastructure to the tune of $500 million, and for paying the most of any community for policing insisting that “they” don’t just police Victoria, they police the entire regional district.

Are debit cards getting you into debt? People often point fingers at credit cards as the major cause of their debt woes. But did you know that debit cards can also be instruments of debt? Practical and easy to use, debit cards allow us to pay with “cash” practically everywhere we go without having to carry around large sums of money. But there is a flipside to this coin: unlike when we have the visual of a quickly reducing stack of bills, debit card money flies out of our bank accounts with barely any notice. Debit cards can trick us into thinking that we’re smart enough to dodge the high interest charges of credit cards, but they don’t protect us from the impulse to splurge on things we can’t cover with the bill-fold.

prepare to pay with cash. Seeing all those bills leaving your wallet with your own eyes will give you a much clearer idea of the amount you’re about to spend. This simple experiment can be very convincing, especially for compulsive — or impulsive — buyers. Of course, debit cards can be indispensable tools on occasions when you don’t want to carry large amounts of cash. It all depends on how they are used.

Dangerous ride in North Surrey Delta man leads police on high-speed pursuit by Kevin Diakiw POLICE ARE tallying the damages and charges against a Delta man after a wild chase through Surrey last week. At just after midnight Friday, a Surrey RCMP officer tried to stop a vehicle for a traffic offence near 88 Avenue and 128 Street. The vehicle took off, but because police helicopter Air One was in the area, no ground pursuit was initiated. Air One followed as the rental vehicle tore through North Surrey neighbourhoods at an excessive speed and failed to stop at a number of red lights and stop signs. Police in the chopper noticed the vehicle stop near 96A Avenue and 117B Street, where the driver left the vehicle. Police cars descended on the area, trying to apprehend the man

before he got back in the car. However, the suspect managed to get back into his vehicle and rammed an oncoming police vehicle as well as a parked car. The man sped off, while Air One continued to hover over the vehicle. The vehicle sailed over a police spike belt, but didn’t stop, even though its tires were flattened. The car sped away, and continued to blow through stop signs and red lights. The driver eventually lost control, veering off the road. As Air One directed police to the area, the driver attempted to get his vehicle back on the road near Prince Charles

Boulevard and Huntley Avenue. Police blocked the car from leaving, but the driver rammed another police car before it was brought to a stop. The driver, the only person in car, was taken into custody. Police say they found a cache of drugs in the car, and say the use of a rental vehicle with the drugs has the “earmarks of a dial-a-dope operation.” Police are recommending several charges against the 21-year-old man, including possession of a controlled substance, evading police, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and assaulting a police officer (from the ramming incident).

Homebuyers Seek Out the Best Value in Any Real Estate Market A home. For most families it is the most important purchase they will ever make. It’s a sanctuary, a place to create life long memories and a respite from the noise and clutter of a busy world. People look to buy a new home with plenty of curb appeal in a prosperous, safe and friendly community, but all too often the choice is a cookie cutter home and development. Enter Vesta Properties of Langley BC, which has broken the mould on how new homes and communities are designed and built. Vesta is one of western Canada’s leading residential developers and is kicking off 2012 in a very big way. The company has recently launched a brand new website in both BC and Alberta. Last year, the company had its most successful year to date and has already sold 35 new homes in January of this year. In the past 22 years, Vesta has built over 2,500 homes in 40 award-winning British Columbia and Alberta neighbourhoods. How have they achieved this success? They call it delivering “Vesta Value”. What that means, says Vesta Properties President, Kent Sillars, is that “we are dedicated to making smart choices throughout the planning, design and building process to deliver the best lifestyle and investment value in every neighbourhood we build. It’s what we do best and what homebuyers gravitate towards in any real estate market.” Sillars explains how the company delivers Vesta Value. “A great neighbourhood starts with an exceptional location and we spend a signiﬁcant amount of time searching and securing the best locations that meet our high standards.” adds Sillars. “We then build quality homes that are smartly designed for the particular buyer in a well-planned neighbourhood, which ultimately creates one of the best values in the market and a very smart investment choice for our homebuyers. That’s the secret to our success over the years.” Vesta communities are family-oriented and close to schools, recreation, transportation, and shopping. Right from the start, every

Vesta development is planned with attention to detail, incorporating lush green space, walking trails, and children’s play areas to cater to growing families and create highly desirable communities with excellent potential for appreciating value. “We often outsell our competitors because of the value we offer compared to other developments,” explains Curt Woodhall, Senior Marketing Manager at Vesta. “It’s the compelling combination of quality, location, neighbourhood design, architectural style and home features for a very competitive price.” Many of Vesta’s network of trusted local trades people and suppliers have proven their quality and have been working with the company for more than 20 years. Vesta has been recognized with numerous industry awards and will be competing this year for several Gold Georgies, Canada’s premier housing awards. Vesta’s nominations include Residential Community of the Year for Milner Heights and Provinceton as well as the coveted Builder of the Year award. Vesta is also the developer of the almost sold out Blume in Surrey’s Panorama area as well as Vantage, which offers exquisite living perched above the picturesque Willow’s Nine course at the Surrey Golf Club. In Langley, Milner Heights’ prime location is designed to bring homeowners together in a vibrant and growing community backing onto an environmental reserve and greenway trails. Its masterfully crafted sustainable streets and landscapes have already won several prestigious awards. Milner Heights still has two phases left, but is one of the fastest selling communities in the area. Vesta’s most recent endeavour is Williamstown in Airdrie, Alberta. Sales are booming, catering to the growing demographic of middle income families who commute to Calgary. As for the future, Vesta is going full steam ahead with plans for expansive growth throughout British Columbia and Alberta.

Kwantlen student leaders settle dispute out of court by Sheila Reynolds A CIVIL LAWSUIT against the

Kwantlen Student Association (KSA) launched by two ousted directors has been settled out of court. Gary Singh Dhaliwal and Balninna (Nina) Sandhu filed a civil suit in B.C. Supreme Court last month saying that a special general meeting Nov. 30 at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), during which they were impeached, was improperly called, unfairly conducted and should be declared null and void. On Thursday (Feb. 16), the KSA released a resolution document showing that the student association and Dhaliwal/Sandhu have agreed that the meeting was “validly called, convened, and held” and that the resolutions expelling former directors and electing new directors and bylaws were also valid. However, the parties also

agreed that a special resolution which placed more than two dozen individuals in bad standing – meaning they could never run for the KSA again – was not legitimate because it did not meet notice requirements laid out in KSA bylaws. Still, the resolution says, the 26 former directors and others “have voluntarily agreed not to participate in the affairs of the KSA in any manner for the next three years, including seeking office as directors of the society.” Student politics heated up at KPU shortly after an election last spring that saw a large turnover of directors. Allegations of overspending and corruption against the new student leaders soon followed. The controversy intensified when it was discovered two of the newly elected – Nina Sandhu and Justine Franson – were related to former director Aaron Takhar, against whom the KSA had a

longstanding lawsuit. The suit was dropped in October by the new group. Franson, Takhar’s sister, had resigned prior, but anger amongst students continued to simmer. More than 350 students attended the special meeting last November at the Surrey campus – during which fire alarms were pulled and pepper spray was used – voting unanimously to have certain directors expelled and other individuals placed in bad standing. This week’s out-of-court resolution states the agreement was motivated by a “desire to resolve all outstanding issues from the past in order to allow the KSA to move forward and focus on serving the students.” All parties have agreed not to engage in further litigation regarding past KSA events or speak publicly about the settlement. The KSA will also compensate Sandhu and Dhaliwal for legal costs.

Pickton one of many monsters, inquiry told Police had 63 serial killer suspects by Jeff Nagel THE MISSING Women

Inquiry heard a chilling portrait last Wednesday of the rogues’ gallery of violent men police rated “priority one” serial killer suspects prior to their eventual arrest of Robert Pickton. Retired RCMP Staff Sgt. Don Adam, who took charge of the investigation in early 2001, testified the Port Coquitlam pig farmer was not the only “monster” flagged by either Vancouver Police or Coquitlam RCMP as prime suspects in the killings of Vancouver prostitutes. “This file was full of hideous human beings and they needed to be looked at,” Adam said, choking with emotion at the inquiry. He described several men other than Pickton – identified by code numbers – who were among 63 priority suspects Adam wanted examined when his Project Evenhanded team took over. One was a known bad date who Edmonton police stopped in a van equipped for abductions. Interior handles had been removed so a victim couldn’t escape, Adam said, and in the back was a mattress, whips, masks, restraints and a hacksaw. Another man had been spotted picking up a prostitute in Vancouver and then driving his Jeep erratically on the North Shore. Adam said the woman apparently died jumping from the vehicle and the suspect “went right back to the Downtown Eastside to try to pick up another sex trade worker.” Another suspect was caught trying to flee a home police had been called to after reports of a woman screaming. Officers forced him to open his trunk. “Inside was a dead sex trade worker,” Adam said. “She had been bound and wrapped up in duct tape.” When officers searched the man’s home, he said, they found 31 books on serial killers. “These people will educate themselves,” Adam said, so they can become skilled at disposing of bodies, defeating DNA tests and avoiding scrutiny. “They will be educating themselves by watching this, right now,” Adam said, referring to

the live web-streamed video feed of the inquiry. He said it’s easy to see Pickton as the killer in hindsight, but police could not afford to succumb to tunnel vision and ignore potential suspects. He rejected a characterization at the inquiry that he and other Mounties were uncaring about the vanishing women and were “stumbling around” reviewing old files. “We knew we had an active serial killer,” he said. “We were frantic.” Pickton was only caught in February 2002 after a rookie Coquitlam RCMP officer who wasn’t on Adam’s team got a warrant to search Pickton’s trailer for illegal guns and found personal effects of missing women. The discovery triggered an initial search of the property for murder

evidence. Even then, Adam told the inquiry, Pickton nearly got away. He said the presiding judge was close to shutting down the search as taking too long when police matched blood drops found in the trailer to DNA of two missing women. That allowed authorities to lay the first two murder charges and continue the search, which became an archeological dig. Adam told the inquiry Pickton began killing in 1991 and was a “fully functioning” serial killer who had perfected his method by 1995. He also called for the establishment of a national DNA databank for missing persons, adding the lack of one hampered the Pickton investigation and others to this day.

COURT BRIEFS

Murder trial ordered for already-jailed convict by Sheila Reynolds A MAN currently in jail in Kelowna for

robbery and aggravated assault has been ordered to stand trial for the 2010 murder of Surrey’s Teri-Lyn Williams. Dustin Lee Lalonde, an overweight man with black hair, has been appearing in Surrey Provincial Court via video from a Kelowna prison as his case proceeds. Lalonde, 30, was charged with second-degree murder in September. Williams’ body was found in North Surrey in June of 2010. From Calgary, the Teri-Lyn 41-year-old woman was Williams described by a friend as an amateur bodybuilder who ran her own cleaning company before her life fell apart. She then drifted into debt, drug use and prostitution, said another friend. Lalonde is currently serving a four-year sentence for the robbery and aggravated assault convictions, related to an incident in August 2010.

into the database to help them find matches and identities of those who participated in the June 15 Stanley Cup riot. No such help was actually provided, because the commissioner’s office had quickly stepped in and the VPD never sought access via the courts. “Great care must be taken in evaluating proposed changes in use,” Denham’s report said. She recommends ICBC do more to inform customers about its system and that senior executives take steps to “foster a culture of privacy” within ICBC. Denham upheld ICBC’s use of the facial recognition system to root out identity theft and fraud. ICBC uses the biometric database to compare the image of someone seeking a driver’s licence to that person’s past images in the system as well as those of all other B.C. drivers, flagging any discrepancies. It routinely detects people who have been banned from driving who are trying to gain a licence under someone else’s name, as well as illegal immigrants trying to dodge deportation. “We absolutely welcome the findings and the recommendations,” ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said, adding ICBC is taking steps to better notify customers of how their images are being used. The B.C. Civil Liberties Association had worried from the launch of the database that it could be inappropriately used by police to rapidly sift photos or images from surveillance video. Executive director David Eby said he’s pleased with the ruling, adding it ensures the basic safeguard of court oversight. “Once a database is created people tend to come up with bright ideas all the time about how to use them,” he said. Eby said he found ICBC’s lax “off-thecuff, hey-have-a-look” attitude to control of its photo database troubling and questioned what other agencies might have got voluntary access had the offer to VPD not been made public, triggering the commissioner’s investigation. jnagel@surreyleader.com

IS THIS THE YEAR TO

de-clutter YOUR LIFE?

We all want to be organized. But almost everyone dreads doing it. Clutter seems to haunt us wherever we go. At work, desks are piled with papers and littered with sticky notes. Cars are carriers of empty cups and forgotten jackets. And at home, where there are usually more people sharing more communal space, the problem only multiplies. Getting organized can be daunting – a seemingly insurmountable task. But organization expert Ranka Burzan says there are manageable ways to tackle clutter. And the payoffs, she says, will extend far beyond just a neat environment. Clutter is defined as “a collection of things lying about in an untidy fashion.” But that untidiness is often an indication – and the cause – of other problems. Burzan says material possessions (and the collection of them) is often equated with happiness. The resulting accumulation of stuff, she says, “is creating chaos in many homes and lives.” She suggests the first step in simplifying your life is to figure out what’s really important to you. Does your life reflect your values and beliefs? Next, set goals – not generalized ones, but be more specific, achievable ones such as “from 4-4:40 p.m., de-clutter and organize your garage.” Set a timeline with a deadline to have it completed.

Figuring out your true priorities is a good start, says expert

Other tips include: • Tackle one area at a time - pick one area or room to work on and prioritize projects. Pick three to ﬁve things to do and don’t move on to the next until those area done. • Organize your closets - we only wear about 20 per cent of our clothes. Take them all out, try everything on and only put back the things that ﬁt and that you like. • Reuse and recycle storage containers - jars, small boxes and even pill bottles can be used to store things like elastics, batters, paperclips, and pins that tend to litter surfaces. Give everything a place to be put away. • Rotate collectibles – if you want to keep all your knick-knacks but don’t have the space to display them all, put some out and pack the rest in a plastic container or box. Twice a year, swap the display with the stored items. “You’ll be amazed at how much calmer you feel in an organized space and how much easier it becomes to do things such as cooking dinner, getting dressed and perhaps moving to another residence,” says Burzan, who owns Solutions Organization Simple (SOS).

“Don’t let your things take over your life.”

A new year is upon us and many Canadians have included ﬁnancial goals as part of their New Year’s Resolutions. This is laudable, but sadly, very few will actually turn those good intentions into reality. I believe the problem – and solution – may lie in how we approach the “Four Money Basics.” As complicated as our ﬁnancial lives might seem, all of our choices and decisions

free teeth

fit squarely into how we manage, save, grow and protect our money. By taking a close look at these four simple areas and making necessary changes, we can go a long way towards realizing our moneyrelated goals. Using the lens of the Four Money Basics also ensures that you are looking at the big picture, not just a part of your financial life. While you may need to focus a bit more on one or two of the Four Money Basics depending on your situation and life stage, it’s a good idea to include each area in your overall planning. Your financial plan is one integrated whole so your approach and success in one of the Money Basics will impact your success in the others. The first step is to ask yourself some direct questions about your finances and then act on those answers. Below are the key questions to focus on for each Money Basic. Respond yes or no to each question to determine how you’re doing in each of the four areas. 1. Managing your money Do you spend less than you make? Do you pay off all the balance on your credit card each month? Would you be okay if you missed one paycheque? 2. Saving your money Do you have different pots of money set aside for your regular expenses? continued on page 17

Ideally, you answered “yes” to all these questions and, if so, congratulations – you seem to have your Four Money Basics well under control. But for the other 95 per cent of us, some simple steps can make a difference in moving these responses from “no” to “yes.” It begins with ﬁnding out what you can change. For example, if you are spending more than you make, ﬁnd one regular expense you can reduce or eliminate and set aside a regular amount from each paycheque to deposit into your savings account. If saving is a challenge, adopt a

“divide and conquer” strategy by splitting major expenses over 12 months and setting aside the monthly amount required. It may take longer to reach your savings goal, but you’ll feel much less pressure on your budget. In addition, choosing the right financial product can often make a big difference. In most cases, by looking at the responses to each of the Four Money Basics questions, your financial needs can be matched to a more helpful product. So, if you’re finding it challenging to manage and save your money, it doesn’t make sense to pay $200 a year in banking fees when you can sign up for a free or low-fee chequing account. Or, if debt is an issue, you’ll want this consolidated under a low interest loan. The key lesson here is that improving your finances in 2012 doesn’t have to be a daunting and complicated task. Get started by looking at how you are doing in each of the Four Money Basics. Write down things you can change and begin to act on them. Or, if you need some extra motivation, contact your financial institution – remember we’re there to help.

Planning to go the distance

Do you or a loved one

have psoriasis? Psoriasis is a life-long skin condition with no known cure. A research centre near you is conducting a research study examining the safety and effectiveness of an investigational combination of two treatments for psoriasis.

Surrey’s first marathon is a great fitness goal for novice and experts alike

by Kevin Diakiw Anyone who wants to go the distance when it comes to an endurance workout eventually starts thinking about a marathon. And one is coming to Surrey this fall. The Surrey International World Music Marathon begins its ﬁrst year on Sept. 30, 2012, and the event is already gaining momentum. Elizabeth Model, executive director for the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association, is the brainchild behind the Surrey marathon. Model has chalked up more than 50 distance events of either marathon or Ironman triathlon, and wanted to put together a unique run in Surrey

– one that would include a live band about every mile. Model says once the idea was hatched, it had legs of its own. Administrators at Central City Shopping Centre were already considering the idea of putting together a half marathon, and when Model pitched the idea of a full marathon, the two groups put their collective efforts together. From there, sponsors hopped on, and most recently, Adidas has committed to sponsoring the event. The race course broadly circles North Surrey’s downtown core, and takes advantage of several green spaces, including treed pathways and Green Timbers Urban Forest. continued on page 19

Eligible participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis must be 18 years of age or older.

FOR THE LONG RUN

Lots of water, plenty of carbs and raw foods are keys to a successful marathon diet

Marathon training is unique in that it includes taking part in extremely long runs. Depending on who you ask, the longest training run before marathon will be between 32 kilometres (20 miles) and 45 kms (28 miles) . Getting ready for those long runs, and the marathon itself, includes implementing several factors of self-care that include a full night’s sleep, usually a full day’s rest from your previous hard training run, and an effective diet. One of the key dietary requirements is water. Lots of it. Start hydrating the day before the long run. Eat meals high in complex carbohydrates – pasta, bread, rice, potatoes – as they store valuable energy in your system that will be needed for the long haul. Every diet includes a good mix of carbohydrates, protein and fat. For a distance runner, between 50 and 65 per cent of calories should come from carbohydrates. Another 15 to 25 per cent should consist of unsaturated fats and another 20 to 25 per cent should be from protein. (Increase the protein intake during muscle-building training, such as hills or work with weights) For the long run, the perfect carb

loading will require some experimentation. If one food causes digestive problems on a long training run, scratch it off the list, and don’t use it prior to the marathon. Have a light snack on the morning of the long run. This will give you some energy stores for the run, but not as much as the carb loading beforehand. Try a cold cereal, glass of milk, or a banana and a bagel, or even some pasta with a tomato sauce. Again, the key will be to experiment with what beneﬁts your body during the long run. During the run remember: water, water, water. If you wait until you’re thirsty, you’re too late. For runs longer than an hour, you will need a sports drink, such as GatorAde, to replace some of the energy stores and electrolytes. Consider some carbohydrate gels to consume during the longer runs. They’ll provide a much needed boost in energy during the long run. As soon as the run is over, continue drinking water, and within 15 minutes, eat some food to replace depleted glycogen stores. And take in some protein, either a shake or a protein bar, to assist in muscle repair. – Reporter Kevin Diakiw has run six marathons.

YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO

We Proudly Support Sports, Education and The Arts...

www.pdgdental.com

Finding a new job isn’t just a young person’s game. Increasingly, older workers are deciding to look for greener pastures rather than stay stuck in a stagnating career. More people are also choosing to work longer – up to and beyond the traditional retirement age of 65 – because they’re living longer, healthier lives and some have had to delay retirement due to shrunken investment portfolios. Metro Vancouver-area career coach Bruce Sandy says it’s a common misperception that a late-life job change is too difficult. While no career change is easy, he says there are plenty of reasons to be open to the possibility at any age. “Often people’s second or third careers are more satisfying for them than their earlier careers,” said Sandy, who runs Port Moody-based Pathfinder Coaching and Consulting and brucesandy.com. People in their late 40s, 50s and beyond often become much more clear-headed about what they want in a job and what they’re passionate about. One path many follow – if they’re entrepreneurial – is to start their own business. Others find they can use the experience and skill set gained earlier as consultants, often working less than full time and more flexible hours. Sandy said that’s particularly viable for people with some management or professional experience. Older workers heading back onto the job market should target companies or fields they want to work in and do advance research, use contacts and even consider conducting informal interviews to gain an edge and decide whether a position is a good fit. Do what you can to ensure your skills are up-to-date and you’re current on industry issues and challenges. That said, ageism is a reality for older workers, Sandy said. People over 45 may not get called for an interview or called back after having one. Younger bosses may make assumptions about their skill set, comfort with technology or drive to work hard. Demonstrating you’re adept in the required technologies and emphasizing your experience in the industry (if applicable) are good ways to counter prejudice, Sandy said. “It’s about changing the mindset,” he said, “Older workers have seen a

Bruce Sandy lot in their careers. They’re often more emotionally intelligent and wiser in dealing with interpersonal situations.” He’s also a proponent of social media as another way to both network with career contacts and demonstrate an ability to quickly learn new skills. “That’s where using things like LinkedIn, even Twitter and Facebook comes in,” he said, adding appropriate use of such sites can enhance an older job seeker’s credibility. Sandy recommends taking courses or leaning on friends and family to get a good handle on professional use of social media. The job outlook for mature workers is not bleak at all, Sandy argues. Huge numbers of baby boomers are beginning to retire or cut down their working hours, creating major opportunities in the workforce. “There’s going to be a shortage of experienced workers,” he said. “People are going to be able to pick and choose how they’re going to work.” Sandy’s seen situations where older workers downsized out of their jobs in recession-wracked industries have quickly bounced back. Some have hung out their own shingle to consult and may even end up working for their old employer – sometimes at higher consulting rates than what they were paid when they were staff. Others opt to consult or work again part-time after retiring voluntarily. Another key piece of advice: realize what skills and talents you have and look strategically and how they could be applied for a different employer. Sandy said a positive attitude is key, particularly in dealing with employers who may think older workers are slow, grumpy or cynical. “Present yourself as a wise, experienced relationship-builder,” he advises. “Someone who is engaging and really willing to continue being vital in the workplace.” Three key themes for an interview According to Forbes, there are only three things an employer really needs to know about you: 1. Can you do the job? 2. Will you love the job? 3 Can they tolerate working with you? The three also boil down to your strengths, motivation and ﬁt for the job.

PLANNING YOUR

retirement ent by Rick Kupchuk

For many young people, starting a career or buying a home takes priority over preparing for retirement. After all, it’s difficult to think of retiring from the workforce before landing a job in the first place. But that’s a big mistake, say financial planners, and it’s a big reason why many Canadians still find themselves unprepared when the time comes. “If you ‘fail to plan, you plan to fail,’ “ said Laura Avram, a Surrey-based financial planner with the G&F Financial Group. “Even if its a simple cash management plan in early years, it will get you ready for the more significant planning times in your life. There should always be a plan when it comes to your finances.” Too often, taking out loans for vacations or cars, or using the credit card too often for expensive dinners becomes the priority over putting money away for later. “The most common mistake young people do is that they take on too much debt or spend well beyond their means and have very little or no income to put aside for savings,” said Avram. “Also, they do not even think about saving for retirement, as they believe they will catch up later.” Too many don’t catch up, and don’t realize it until it’s too late. RBC Royal Bank released its second

Retirement Myths and Realities poll last year, which suggested early retirement comes as a surprise for many Canadians. Forty-one per cent of those in the survey who were already retired cited employer’s request or health reasons as the leading reasons for early retirement, which for some creates a financial dilemma for some. “We’re finding that even Canadians who think they are well-prepared for their retirement years have not taken the unexpected into consideration,” said Lee Anne Davies, head of Retirement Strategies for RBC. “When their job disappears suddenly, they struggle with financing the added years in retirement that they hadn’t counted on.” Many of those who had an unplanned retirement end up returning to the workforce. The RBC poll found 41 per cent of retirees going back to work do so because they need the income. “From my experience many people depend on government benefits for their retirement income,” said Avram. “Once they realize that this won’t get them very far, especially if they are used to spending the same as when they were employed, it is way too late. Start saving as early as you can.”

After looking around I chose Amenida because it offered a “package”, setting, 3 excellent meals, close proximity to public transport, varied activities, ﬁrst class exercise instruction and was near the Senior Center and Public Library.

Driving through Surrey, Michele Sorensen often sees billboards for minor leagues of football, soccer and baseball. She’d like to serve another sport into the mix starting in 2012. Sorensen is co-chair of Surrey Little Aces (SLA), a pilot program and partnership between Tennis BC, Tennis Canada and the City of Surrey that aims to build tennis communities in the city by introducing the racket sport to kids at an early age. While Surrey doesn’t have a formal tennis facility – there are public courts at Newton Athletic Park and Cloverdale Athletic Park, and now early plans for new tennis centre – SLA will bring free tennis to kids under 12 in school gymnasiums, parks and recreation space and participating tennis clubs. The potential is there for the growth of tennis in Surrey, says Sorensen. “The more exposure we can provide for the game of tennis, the more likely we’ll be able to grow tennis players.” SLA uses what’s called the progressive tennis method with four components: Try, learn, play and compete. “We’re starting early. We’re trying to make it something that’s fun and

Surrey Hospice Society proudly celebrates 25 Years serving the Community of Surrey. What is Surrey Hospice Society about? It is about love, compassion and caring.

Surrey Hospice Society holds events throughout the year honouring loved ones, and fundraisers to support programs and services.

likable, so children will want to continue to play.” For youngsters, courts, balls, rackets and nets (provided for free) are scaled down to accommodate the size of little people – demonstrated at awareness events in June 2011 inside Guildford Town Centre and on Feb. 4 of this year at Central City shopping centre. That means a higher success rate to get their enthusiasm going. The SLA program also provides wheelchair-accessible tennis, as well as free coaching for everyone. Sorensen admits that tennis has a somewhat posh reputation of being geared towards higher-income demographics. “The SLA program is in some ways designed to rub against that. It’s set out to provide affordable and accessible tennis for children and families.” SLA “try” events will take place once a month in Surrey throughout 2012 starting this spring.

tips FOR THE HANDY HOME OWNER by Christine Lyon

If you want to update your living space without hiring a contractor, there are plenty of simple do-it-yourself projects that can make a world of difference. “Paint is always a good option because you can brighten stuff up with paint,” said James Price, owner of Ladner Village Hardware. With a seemingly inﬁnite number of colours to choose from, and a variety of unique application techniques, painting is something that DIY beginners can embrace. And paint isn’t just limited to the walls. Price says his customers will sometimes opt to paint their concrete ﬂoors instead of putting down linoleum or carpet. “You can use masking tape and you can

make patterns,” he said. “You could paint (the floor) to look like there’s tile.” Price said the market is trending away from oil paints towards latex or “waterborne” varieties. Replacing door knobs, cabinet hardware and light switches is another way to update the home. Price says many of his customers are updating their brown or ivory “toggle” light switches with sleek, white “rocker” style switches. And when it comes to the floors, Price says a lot of homeowners are moving away from carpeting in favour of hard-surface flooring. Those who aren’t confident in their floorlaying skills might buy decorative area rugs. These colourful accents easily cover up

imperfections — like that spot where the dog scratched up the finish. Making the home more energy efficient is another area homeowners can tackle by themselves. With retailers in B.C. now prohibited from ordering certain wattages of incandescent light bulbs, residents are slowly making the switch to the longerlasting compact fluorescent variety (CFLs). Price says light-emitting diodes are also coming onto the household lighting market. “An LED is still quite expensive, but once they become more common the price will come down,” he said. Novice DIY-ers can get plenty of advice from Price and his knowledgeable staff at Ladner Village Hardware. He remembers helping out an older, recently widowed woman whose husband had always taken care of home improvements. “We started her with some basic stuff and in the end she changed her light fixtures, she changed tap sets, and she built wooden patio furniture,” Price said. Some days she would make two or three trips to the store, just to get a bit more information. “She got to be quite confident in her ability and she did lots of things she never thought she’d ever be able to do,” Price said.

‘‘I LOVED THE PROGRAM SO MUCH, I BOUGHT INTO THE COMPANY’’ Jamie Swan bought the U Weight Loss Clinic of Surrey in June 2010 and has never looked back. It’s her own personal struggle with weight that makes Jamie the ideal candidate to own a weight loss clinic. She has all the empathy in the world for her clients and enough determination and belief in the program, to support them in their quest to reach their own personal health and weight loss goals. During her many years of university study at home and abroad, Jamie had put her own health on the backburner and although she tried a few programs and crash diets, the weight loss was always temporary. When her self-esteem was at its lowest, she discovered the U Weight Loss Program and was encouraged by how quickly the weight came off. Best of all, she found the meals so tasty that she started to believe this could be the start of a whole new lifestyle change. She got a job coaching at the clinic and discovered she loved helping others to achieve their dreams. “It was about so much more than weight loss. Men and women were gaining back their self-conﬁdence, achieving dreams they never thought possible and signiﬁcantly altering the quality of their personal relationships.” It didn’t take long before Jamie knew that helping others achieve their hopes

and dreams was the career path for her, so she jumped at the opportunity to purchase U Weight Loss Clinic of Surrey. It has been over 3 years now since she lost the weight and she has succeeded at maintaining it!! “I most enjoy coaching the clients who are as sceptical as I was – it’s so rewarding. It’s the clients that inspire me every day to be the best I can… I think we all inspire each other.” U Weight Loss is a doctorformulated program that offers customized Lifestyle programs aimed at helping clients to identify the underlying causes of weight gain, develop wholesome nutritional practices and get active. Behaviour modiﬁcation techniques are used to make lasting changes. This holistic approach to health and wellness, focuses on changes that can be sustained. “We examine ways of overcoming the unique hurdles each client faces and provide the support so they never feel alone in their journey”.

Recreational gymnasts New program launched in Surrey by Gymnastics BC Staff Reporter CARTWHEELS INC. in Surrey was one of two sites selected by Gymnastics BC to launch PLAY Gymnastics. Launched on Monday, Feb. 13, the new program promotes the idea that a child in recreational gymnastics is actually “a child developing the fundamentals of movement.” “Early participation in gymnastics develops critical skills such as balance, strength, flexibility, overall body awareness and social and mental abilities that carry over into all aspects of life,” said a Gymastics BC press release.

about gymnastics and how it can positively affect the lives of the people it touches,” said Katherine Campbell, co-owner of Cartwheels Inc. “It makes sense that we would get behind the PLAY initiative because it aligns perfectly with our mission to create a lifelong love for fitness through fun, challenging gymnastics and movement activities.” With close to 41,000 members, gymnastics is the fourth largest participation sport in British Columbia, behind only soccer, hockey and athletics. Of that membership, 83 per cent are under the age of 12 and the majority of participants are in recreational gymnastics.

P.Eng, MIMechE, Hon. Maj. June 10, 1919 – February 8, 2012 It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved brother, father and grandfather, Victor Stanley George Lewis, on February 8, 2012 following a brief illness. Victor was predeceased by his parents Mark and Nellie, brother Norman, sister Olive and first wife Joan. He is survived by his sister Gill, his children Peter (Linda), Simon (Jamie), Julia (Paul), Mark (Lisa) and Andrea (Chris) and his grandchildren Colin, Patrick, Carter, Sophie, Lucas and Lily, and his second wife Lucille. An accomplished football player and avid cyclist in his youth,Victor trained as a mechanical and electrical engineer at Birmingham Central Technical College, serving his apprenticeship with Wolseley Motor Ltd. He was a Chartered Engineer (UK) and Chartered Automobile Engineer (UK). Following in his father’s footsteps, he enlisted with the British Army on Mobilization in 1939,serving with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in North Africa from 1941-1947, and earning the rank of Major by the age of 26. After the war, he served with the British War Office, including two years as a NATO exchange officer at RMC in Kingston. In 1957, he resigned his army commission and emigrated to Canada to start a career in land development. From 1966 until his retirement in 1984 he led BACM Alberta and then Genstar Development Co., spearheading some of the largest real estate development projects across Canada. Victor was one of the founding fathers of the Urban Development Institute (UDI), having helped establish the very first branch in Alberta (1958), followed by UDI Canada (1960) and UDI Pacific (1972). At various times he served as President of the Alberta, Canada, Manitoba and Pacific UDI branches. He was the first President of the Canadian Home Manufacturing Association (1963-65), and led a Canadian Trade Mission to Europe in 1965 to promote Canadian methods of industrialized building. In 1978, he received the Queen’s Silver Jubilee Medal for his significant contributions to communities across Canada. He served as President of the Surrey Board of Trade and President of the Surrey Arts Council. He later served as Vice-Chair of the Privatization Advisory Committee of BC Enterprise Corporation. While he was dedicated to his profession, his true passions were his family, music, gardening and a never-ending desire to improve anything on which he could put his hands. He will be remembered for his outgoing personality, inquisitive mind, determination and industrious work ethic.We would like to give a special thanks to the staff of Westminster House in South Surrey for their outstanding care and sensitivity. A memorial service will be held on Friday, March 2 at 1:00 pm at Victory Memorial Park at 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey (www.victorymemorialpark. com). In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the BC Heart and Lung Association. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 604-536-6522
